Sky Sports have been prone to a few Scottish football blunders over the years, with the latest involving Celtic.
After their dramatic 5-4 penalty shootout victory over Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup final on Sunday, the Hoops return to league duty this weekend.
As they embark upon another hectic run of fixtures, the Bhoys travel to Tannadice on Sunday, facing Dundee United in a noon kick-off. Three points are essential as the festive period gets into full swing.
Live on Sky Sports News yesterday, the game was advertised. All looked well: the channel time, venue, teams playing, and even the Dundee United badge. The Celtic crest, however, was hilariously that of the Boston Celtics basketball team:

Unless Dundee United have seemingly changed sport overnight, this is yet another quite hysterical error involving Scottish football from Sky.
In fairness, though, for someone not particularly interested in football or basketball, mixing up Celtic with the famous NBA team from Boston could be an easy mistake to make.
Regardless, one would like to think Sky employ the right people to avoid comical errors such as the above.
Fans will be in for a surprise if Sky’s advertisement proves true, but Brendan Rodgers plans to take his side to Tayside on Sunday to kick balls, not throw them into a hoop.
