TNT Sports and Sky Sports have confirmed that the upcoming match between Kilmarnock and Celtic will not be televised. The decision comes after a series of logistical and broadcasting challenges, including issues with scheduling and technical constraints at Kilmarnock’s Rugby Park stadium. The match, originally set to be featured in the Scottish Premiership’s live TV coverage, now faces an uncertain future in terms of broadcasting availability.
Both TNT and Sky, who hold the broadcasting rights to Scottish football, have stated that despite efforts to resolve the situation, a combination of factors led to the decision. This includes concerns about infrastructure at the stadium, which is not fully equipped to handle live broadcast demands for a high-profile match such as this. Additionally, there were challenges in finding suitable alternative dates for the game, given the packed football calendar.
Fans of both teams are disappointed by the announcement, as they were hoping to catch the action from the comfort of their homes. However, the clubs involved have assured supporters that efforts are underway to ensure the match will be rescheduled for live coverage at a later date, though specifics have yet to be confirmed.
