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.
Unbelieveable that Hibs have denied BT sport the right to show their match today. No doubt they will be more than happy to take the tv money next season though `eh
