Last night, a telly insider said: "It's a coup to get Gordon back on the box - everyone enjoyed his performances as a pundit on Match of the Day 2.

"And Neil's intelligence and knowledge means he can be a big asset." Sky will show 30 SPL games next season, on top of Scotland home matches and Scottish Cup ties.

Boab 73 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Jul 29 2009 Neil Cameron THE new face of Scottish football has been unveiled - and for the first time it's a woman. Former children's TV presenter Alison Douglas, 34, is Sky/ESPN's choice to front their coverage of the SPL this season. Previously, the job was a strictly male preserve with the likes of Archie Macpherson, Arthur Montford and Rob MacLean all having fronted the coverage. But we can reveal that Douglas, who also worked on Rangers TV, has been lined up as lead presenter. And former Celtic boss Gordon Strachan and ex-Rangers star Neil McCann are expected to join her. Alison began with STV's children's department on Skoosh! and has been a regular in panto. She also presented several other STV shows, including current affairs programme Seven Days and live debate show Trial By Night. As Sky and ESPN put in the final touches ahead of the kick-off in a fortnight, the Record understands Craig Burley will be back on screens as ESPN co-commentator. Veteran broadcaster Ray Stubbs will be involved, with Aberdonian Derek Rae commentating on the live top flight matches for ESPN. Armchair fans will have to fork out about £9 a month to watch the 30 games ESPN will show. For now, only Sky subscribers can buy the package but talks are going on with Virgin and BT Vision . However, those who watched Setanta through Sky will save about £4 a month over last season. Sky also have the rights to 30 matches - including all four Old Firm games - following the collapse of Setanta. ESPNhave promised fans their coverage will be second to none. Communications director Damion Potter said: "ESPN are passionate about great entertainment and the SPL provides just that. "We look forward to working in long-term partnership with the SPL." http://www.<No links to this website>/news/editors-...86908-21555339/ I actually went yass when I found this, I Alison Have had a massive crush on her since her RTV days.
