Rangers snub vote on £30m a year Sky Sports TV deal as SPFL prepare for 'emergency meeting'

The SPFL are reportedly set to hold an emergency meeting after Rangers failed to respond to vote on a resolution that would extend the current TV deal with Sky Sports.

A midnight deadline on Sunday was set for clubs in Scotland's top flight clubs after being given 28 days to respond to the resolution. The Scottish Daily Mail now report that Celtic and the remaining 10 outfits agreed to the request, but with no answer from Ibrox on which way they were leaning, the resolution collapsed.

Reports now state that 'the board of the SPFL will hold emergency talks after a new £30million a year broadcasting agreement between Sky Sports and the SPFL was thrown into doubt.' It also claims that clubs 'were also asked to provide a letter of waiver agreeing to let Sky increase the number of home games they show from each ground each season from four to five.'

From season 2028/29, the broadcasting heavyweights would increase their payment from £25m to £30m and also jump to 60 games being available for show from 2024/25, up from 48.

Where Rangers have their concerns is that the SPFL haven’t invited other companies to bid and an emergency meeting beckons.

It is the latest in Rangers' long-running feud with the league hierarchy, after they argued main sponsor cinch was in conflict with one of their own deals.
