The Scottish Premier League’s 12 clubs have agreed a €75 million deal with Sky and ESPN to screen 60 live games each season across the UK and Ireland.

The deal will last until the end of season 2011-12 with the SPL having an option to extend the deal for a further two seasons.

Lex Gold, chairman of the SPL, said: “We are pleased that in just over three weeks we have been able to strike this deal.”
