Rangers reveal 'problem' with proposed £30m Sky TV deal and claim SPFL is underselling Scottish football

Rangers chief Stewart Robertson believes Scottish football continues to be undersold by the SPFL.

The Ibrox club have outlined a key issue with the proposed new TV deal. Negotiations have taken place with Sky Sports over an extension to the current deal. It has been put to clubs that the new agreement could be worth at least £30million a year. With the addition of two separate 10-game bundles worth £4million each it could rise to £40million.

Robertson, in an interview with Rangers Review, explained his eyes were opened last year when the club played Malmo in the Champions League qualifiers and discovered the Swedish deal, worth £43million a season for the top two tiers, dwarfed Scotland's, albeit for far more live games.

The main frustration from the Ibrox club is the lack of "market-test”, seeing what other options are out there beyond Sky. The result is the view the Scottish game is being undersold by those who run it.
