    Weve got £38m sitting in the bank. Even if we told sky to * off and we loose our £2m prize money for winning the league... who cares. Were not england, were not * if sky decide no more. Were easily independent of that money and sky can go * themselves.

    Binned Sky about 6 years ago when the * charged me twice for my monthly bill 3 months in a row, and getting the extra payment back off them was a * mare. Got the basic Virgin package now and just watch other stuff online or on streams.

    Nah that's in the contract..

    The fact they had to stand well over the other side of the road from the ground with a tent and stuck a montage up of Eddy on the sky sports app...shows they're doing some * licking..

    If they are telling sky to * off they better make Celtic live tv subscriptions for all and not just people outside the uk

    don’t know why they don’t- it’s not going to affect any crowds and would make Celtic more cash

    We can’t, that’s the point. We’re tied into a league wide contract.

    Celtic have decided to re-engage with Sky Sports for Today’s showdown at Aberdeen.

    But the Parkhead club are still pursuing concerns over the controversial Alfredo Morelos Interview which brought their initial decision to cease co-operation with the broadcasters.

    Sky wrongly translated Morelos and reported that the Rangers striker had accused Hoops fans of racially abusing him. The station had to make a public apology to the Old Firm clubs and the player.

    Celtic banned Sky in the past week but, have taken a decision to ease their stance ahead of the Premiership match today’s lunchtime at Pittodrie.

    MailSport understands the situation is not fully resolved and that there are still concerns from within Parkhead over the handling of the Morelos interview.

    However, it is believed Hoops chiefs will wait for the findings of an Ofcom investigation before further assessing their position.

    After Record Sport revealed serious errors in the translation Celtic released a strongly-worded statement on the incident.

    Celtic, a club open to all since its inception, abhors racism. Our consistent stance is that wherever racism exists it should be tackled head on. Celtic will always investigate any report of racist behaviour and take appropriate action. This is a standard which all clubs should meet.

    Celtic needs no encouragement to pursue racism, particularly as players and management at the club have suffered abuse persistently over the years. The seriousness of such cases has been confirmed with the prosecution and criminal convictions of some of the perpetrators.

    "Celtic is proud of the wonderful reputation earned by its supporters over many years in many countries and at home. The club owes it to them to act in a responsible, dignified and professional manner and to treat racism with the seriousness it deserves."
