Fans 'should be able to watch Scotland men's matches on TV for free', MPs report says
Scotland's matches are broadcast live on subscription services, with highlights on the BBC
The Scottish Affairs Committee said finding solutions with rights-holding subscription services was a priority. If not, the UK government should seek to add such matches to the schedule of "listed events", he said. Mr Wishart said there was "absolute frustration" among Scotland football fans about their inability to watch the men's team on free-to-air channels.
Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, who sits on the committee, said the report should mark a "turning point" when it comes to viewing games for Scottish football fans and called on the UK government to listen to the calls for action. In their search to watch international matches on TV in recent years, Scotland fans have become used to finding a way.
Whether or not Uefa should have such a powerful say on who gets what is a different story for a different day.
