Setanta to set up Scottish channels

IRISH broadcasting and media group Setanta Sport plans to set up two new television stations for Glasgow Rangers and Celtic football clubs.

Setanta, which has an exclusive contract to show Scottish Premier League football, will set up joint ventures with Rangers and Celtic to enable them run their own television channels for fans.

The channels will broadcast both club’s premier league games on a Monday evening and will also feature pre-season tour games, friendlies and exclusive interviews with players.
