England played Austria at the Riverside Stadium last night A FOOTBALL commentator has sparked anger after making a disparaging remark about Scotland during STV’s coverage of England’s friendly with Austria last night. Lee Dixon, a retired footballer who played for England during the 1990s, was co-commentating for ITV’s coverage of the match, which was also broadcast on sister channel STV in Scotland. Meanwhile Scotland was playing the Netherlands, though this match was only available to watch on Sky. Late into Scotland’s match the Netherlands equalised, taking the score to 2-2 in the final minutes. With the England game nearing its end, Dixon remarked: “I’d like to say I’m disappointed, but not really.”
Media release: STV announces Euro 2020 programming
STV today unveils its cross-platform line-up of content for Euro 2020 – as new research shows one in five Scots (19 per cent) are looking forward to watching the national team’s Euro 2020 journey more than any other event this year.
However, Scotland’s first international tournament in over two decades doesn’t excite Scots quite as much as a good old-fashioned cuddle. The ScotPulse survey found that permission to freely hug without social distancing is the most-anticipated event this year (26 per cent).
Regardless of whether or not hugging will be on the cards, STV is set to keep the Tartan Army up to speed with every nail-biting moment of Scotland’s Euro 2020 performance.
