BT SPORT stop their coverage of Scottish football at the end of this season and on the whole it’s been good. However, on Wednesday night, the commentary was Sky Sports-esk with no Chris Sutton around.
The broadcaster chose to go with a team of Rory Hamilton (Lead Commentator), flanked by Michael Stewart and Stephen Craigan.
Stewart is an ex-Hearts player and Craigan has a well known case off wee team syndrome. Craigan actively spurs Celtic’s opposition on and talks them up. At one point he spoke of Celtic’s offside goal at 2-0 galvanising Hearts. We had Stewart who pulled up Christopher Jullien for making more of a tackle but then later in the game he kept quiet when a Hearts player did the same. It was a horrible night for BT Sport.
Celtic fans aren’t shy at telling you what they think and with no balance to the commentary – many stuck it on mute.

I pay £30 a month for @btsport and I feel like I’m watching Hearts TV with Craigan and Stewart.

Can almost see the tears from Craigan and Stewart as Celtic begin to dismantle Hearts. Pair of biased idiots…
