News Image
A unique, magazine style football programme will see Celtic and Rangers football clubs come together for the very first time.
'Club TV', a monthly sports programme produced for BBC Alba by mneTV, will be presented by former club players Tom Boyd of Celtic, Arthur Numan of Rangers and Gaelic Sports anchor Calum MacAulay.
Pictured here are Club TV presenters, former club players Arthur Numan of Rangers and Tom Boyd of Celtic, getting ready for the programme, which will feature exclusive interviews with respective club managers Tony Mowbray and Walter Smith and will cover match action from first team games, and youth and ladies fixtures.
It will look at every aspect of both clubs from community initiatives to youth development as well as highlights from behind the scenes.
In the first programme of the series to be broadcast later this week, Allan McGregor speaks exclusively about his international future.
Asked if he would play for Scotland again, he commented: "If asked of course I would. I've held my hands up, I don't know how many times I've apologised, I've said sorry and I am sorry.
"I just need to wait and see if the new gaffer wants me in the squad or not," he said.
Also speaking exclusively to Club TV, Landry N'Guemo said: "My future is here at Celtic, I hope my future is at Celtic. I'm here on a one year loan so I need to improve and show I’m able to play here and we’ll see what happens."
The programme also features one of Rangers most promising prospects Danny Wilson, and from Celtic youth player James Forrest as well as Under 19 coach Stevie Frail.
Margot McCuaig, Director of Sport at mneTV, said: "We have worked closely with the clubs to create an exciting programme for Celtic and Rangers fans offering behind the scenes access and exclusive interviews and features ensuring that the supporters feel part of their respective Clubs.
"Delivered by presenters who played for Celtic and Rangers and continue to voice their ongoing passion for their clubs, this is a must watch magazine show that has the team at the very heart of it."
BBC Alba has an ongoing commitment to broadcasting both grassroots and professional sport throughout Scotland.
Club TV will complement the existing sports offering which includes as-live coverage of one Clydesdale Bank Premier League match every Saturday night, live coverage from the ALBA Challenge Cup as well as a new package of five live SFL matches.
