Out of interest, has Derek Rae covered a Celtic-Rangers match for British television before? I imagine he's done a fair few of these derbies during his radio career, for ESPN in the USA and for the international feed, but am I right in thinking that this will be his first opportunity to cover this fixture for a UK audience since joining ESPN UK in 2009?

That's right.
Every Old Firm derby since Sky and ESPN bought the SPL rights in 2009 has been on either Sky (League and Scottish Cup) or BBC Scotland (League Cup). Tomorrow's semi-final (Morton v Aberdeen) will be the first time BT have shown a game from Hampden in its capacity as the national stadium (as opposed to the home of Queen's Park - they showed a Rangers league game there). |

![]() But in terms of a UK-wide audience, did Bill Leslie get a chance to cover an Old Firm Scottish Cup game when Crocker was at Setanta? If not, then it would be Jock Brown in the early days of Setanta. Last old firm on sky not commentated on by Crocker was by Martin Tyler Back in April 1998! |

David Jones has Tweeted tomorrow's Super Sunday line up - Souness, Carragher, Henry & GNev
I presume GNev is in the comm box at Stamford Bridge and probably not in the studio at all as they generally don't have 4 people hanging around (or not for very long). However, that means today's lunchtime line up will probably be involve Jamie Redknapp and another B-List pundit. Do we think any presenters working with the Redknapp's can get in quips about Harry going in 4-wheeled on his wife? Be 'triffic

Just been watching this:
http://www.itv.com/hub/when-football...er/2a4675a0001 Didn't realise how close Sky came to not actually getting the rights to the Premier league! Really might have been a different ball game altogether? |

Does anyone know why Football Focus doesn't go onto iPlayer until midnight and not straight away?

Barely a week after 'Red Monday', Sky have given tomorrow's Chelsea v Man Utd match the moniker of 'The Return' with a little logo to boot.
Why are they so obsessed with giving games these cringe-inducing WWE-style billings? Are casual viewers more likely to tune in to a match which has one? |

Oh good, Think Fletcher is at Twicks tomorrow for NFL so I think he would have found it a pain to travel a fair bit in 2 days. The bad news though is that he will have Savage in the commentary box with him.

Wouldn't normally stop him after all he has flown from one country to another in 24hours in the past to commentate on a game
![]() ![]() Even though there is NFL London next week as well, BT's match will be at London so Fletcher should be able to both games. |

Think we could say the same thing for Owen Hargreaves.

I agree will be very surprised if Fletcher misses 2 weekend's in a row.
