Sky also announce coverage of The World Paint Drying Cup and The Grass Growing Championship as more interesting alternatives.

Bit gutted as they were going to show all 18 away Rangers games but it's better than a kick in the teeth.

You've still to get the ESPN deal though, I'm sure they'll include some Gers games alongside BBC Alba
Good deal, gutted we get so little but the grief mongering that wernt on before the deal suggested before hand, only losing £2m a year is a decent price and will hopefully give SPL clubs some breathing space, this season should be quite good, Dundee Utd, Aberdeen, Hearts and Motherwell should all mount a serious challenge for 2nd place

I suppose it depends what team you support.

Will any other league around Europe be as cut and dried as the SPL?

At the end of the day we are all lucky to have a tv deal, SKY could have easily tore up the contract.
