Labour urged to give Scotland the gift of Football this Christmas
Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay, June 16, 2023

GREEN MSP Gillian Mackay, who has led a campaign to get all of Scotland’s national football games on free-to-view TV, has urged the Secretary of State for Scotland, Ian Murray, to work with her to deliver on the call.

Mackay’s long-running campaign to end the reliance on subscription streaming services or pay-to-view channels has been backed by MPs, MSPs and supporters across Scotland.

Murray has previously indicated support for putting Scotland’s international matches on free-to-view TV.
