BT Sports have a broadcast deal with the SPFL to televise 30 SPL games per year up until 2017. As it stands today it looks like the SPFL will not be able to meet that commitment. Hibernian refused to allow BT Sports to televise their final game of the season with Kilmarnock today meaning BT Sports will finish the season with only 29 games televised under their 30 game agreement.

It is suspected SPFL will offer BT Sports one of the Premiership play off games to compensate however this will no doubt infuriate SKY who have already used their allocation of 30 games under their own contract with the SPFL. It's understood that the newly created play off fixtures do not feature in either broadcasters current broadcast deals, which are for league fixtures only.
Yet another farce surrounding Scottish football. It's easy to see why they've been unable to attract a league sponsor all season.
