BT Sport to create 45 new jobs in Glasgow and Dundee

BT's new sport channels, set to rival Sky sports, will create more than 400 new jobs across the UK, including at BT’s Scottish contact centres in Glasgow and Dundee.

It will also safeguard the employment of 187 BT people who are being retrained to work for BT Sport customer support.

The communications giant said it was taking over ESPN's channels in the UK and Ireland in a buyout which will allow it to show 30 games from the Scottish Premier League (SPL) a year plus 10 Rangers games.
