Strong Celtic connection in TV channel's Euro 2020 coverage line-up including Roy Keane, Scott Brown and John Hartson
And the broadcasters have signed up a star-studded panel of big names from across men’s and women’s football – including a distinct Celtic flavour. Half a dozen former Parkhead players will be among those giving insight to the games held across the continent in this summer’s delayed event.
Rangers TV will be represented by commentator Clive Tyldesley and former Ibrox striker Ally McCoist who will be on co-commentary duties like former Parkhead frontman John Hartson.

John Collins – who managed Brown at Hibs and was assistant manager at Celtic – will also be in the studio as will Roy Keane and Ian Wright who both had short stints in the east end of Glasgow.
