It's always surprised me that there isn't more coverage of the Scottish League on American TV, though. I'd think it'd be worth it just for the Old Firms games given the size of Celtic's support here, but it seems to always be on pay-per-view. If it were in July, the audience hungry for European soccer would lap it up. Not that I'm suggesting Scotland sets its schedule to suit American television....... KT -- you've been hanging around Big Soccer too much, haven't you? Brian — I agree. It’s always surprised me that there isn’t more coverage of the Scottish League on American TV, though.

Put the Old Firm Derby in the middle of July and I bet a lot more people outside Scotland would get into it.
