RTÉ today announced the completion of a deal with the
Scottish Premier League, which gives the national
broadcaster the rights to show a package of Celtic
matches in the SPL until the end of the season.

RTÉ’s coverage begins with the Old Firm game against
Rangers this Sunday at Celtic Park, live on Network 2 –
what should be a mouth-watering prospect for fans of
Scottish football.

Niall Cogley, RTÉ Head of Sport, said: ‘We’re thrilled
to be able to bring Irish viewers coverage of Celtic on
free to air television. Ireland boasts a huge number of
Celtic supporters, and I think the acquisition of this
package will enhance our soccer coverage immensely.

Kick-off for this Sunday’s match is 2.15pm with the
programme beginning at 2.00pm. Commentary comes from
George Hamilton and Billy McNeill.
