Go Dutch: what SPL could earn in TV deal

AN official from Eredivisie Live, the television channel responsible for the broadcasting rights of Dutch top-flight football, believes the television deal which was struck between the Scottish Premier League and Sky represents a paltry agreement.

The contract is reportedly worth around £15m per season to the Premier League but Neil Doncaster, the SPL's chief executive, and his counterpart at the Scottish Football Association, Stewart Regan, have expressed concerns that the deal could now be torn up, or at least allowed to persist on vastly reduced terms, depending on which league Rangers newco play in next season.
