Just in case you’ve forgotten, the Celtic game is NOT on Sky Sports this evening and if you want to watch Ange Postecoglou’s men take on Ross County legitimately, it will cost you ยฃ15 on PPV.
Ross County sent out the reminder and the link to anyone who wants to purchase the event.

Paying for PPV TV is becoming a regular occurrence in Scottish football. Back when our game was covered properly, the Hoops away games would always be on the TV.
Now things are up in the air with fans being put further out of pocket. The Sky deal really isn’t fit for purpose – we should be looking to use and promote our own streaming services in place of Sky in the future. If we promote our game correctly, it can do much better than what we get right now.
The way our game is currently televised costs a lot of cash to the average punter who has to pay for Sky Sports, Premier Sports, BT Sports and regular PPV events to keep up with the games.
It’s why so many have been pushed to go out and look for less legitimate ways to consume football. Something has to be looked at in the long term. We’re being priced out of football.
