Without the Govan side, no broadcaster is interested in showing the SPL given the lack of Old Firm matches, and the fact the league will be won before St Andrews day.

The media rights’ stand off does not just involve the SFL and SPL, but Rangers, the SFA, and the oldco Rangers PLC. The involvement of the SFA and the further ‘conditions’ applied to successful application for membership prevail to the point of an expectation of the submission of said media rights in exchange for guaranteed status. Which will also potentially lead to further sanctions such as the oft-mentioned title stripping in relation to the EBT and ‘discretionary’ payments.

The SFA and SPL/clubs continue to bungle the entire situation, and are now resorting to blackmail in order to compensate for their own incompetent handling of it.
