The post-split fixtures shambles had the unusual effect of uniting the Hotline as punters of all persuasions let rip at the SPFL. But for those looking for their daily dose of Old Firm bitterness, fear not. There’s a bit of that as well.
William Masson, Aboyne, emailed: “Sky Sports have only ever put money into Scottish football so they can have the rights to four particular games a season. I don’t watch their coverage but by all accounts even that coverage isn’t up to much, so no surprise they aren’t showing some other key, post split matches. The SPFL and clubs who agreed to the deal with Sky are as much to blame for signing an agreement with a broadcaster only interested in its beloved tourist league down south.”
Eddie Easson, Ballingry, Fife, said: “Absolute shocking decisions made by The SPFL on the split fixtures. They haven’t taken the supporters’ views into consideration. They are asking for trouble and if there is any blame should be laid at the doors of the police and the SPFL.
