Tartan Army fans have long complained about games involving Steve Clarke's side being shown on a variety of subscription channels.

The SNP has called on the Labour Government to back its campaign to make all Scotland international matches free-to-air. Tartan Army supporters have long complained about games involving Steve Clarke's side being shown on a variety of subscription channels, while England matches are routinely shown on ITV or Channel 4.

Ian Murray, the Scottish Secretary, has previously spoken of his belief that all Scotland games should be free-to-air. He said in 2016: "I fully appreciate that terrestrial television can’t compete with the vast sums of money on offer from the likes of BT and Sky but I’m sure some accommodation could be made to ensure everyone can share in Scottish international sporting events."
