Celtic on RTE/BBC Scotland FTV Card

    I see where RTE had the 'Old Firm' game on Sunday.

    Do they have the rights to all the Celtic/Rangers games as do the BBC outside Scotland?

    Or do they have the rights to more Celtic games outside those 4?

    Reason I ask is that if RTE have the Irish rights for the Celtic games shown on BBC Scotland and PPV elsewhere in Britain, then is my search for a Scottish FTV card now unnecessary?

    Yes, sayireland, from these two articles recently on RTÉ Sport....

    http://www.rte.ie/sport/2002/0930/soccer/celtic.html

    and

    http://www.rte.ie/sport/2002/1001/soccer/celtic.html

    ....it appears that the Celtic games being shown on BBC ONE Scotland will be shown on RTÉ.

    The next games involving Celtic are:

    Sunday 20 October - Hearts v Celtic
    Sunday 27 October - Dunfermline v Celtic

    To my knowledge the Hearts V Celtic game is live on BBC Scot and also Setanta 2 (ppv) next Sunday afternoon. Looking at the EPG for next Sunday it says that at 5:15 NET2 SPL highlights. So if that turns out to be the case then RTE will not be showing the same Celtic games as the BBC(scot) live.

    So a Scottish card still looks to be a good asset.
