Premier Sports, long time broadcasters of both the Scottish Cup and their namesake League Cup, entered the league fray last season.
With Sky Sports having previously been the exclusive home of Scottish Premiership coverage, Premier joined the party last season and will show 22 live games from our top league this coming season.
As mentioned, the first of those sees Rangers face Dundee at Ibrox this Saturday.
Emma Dodds anchored the live coverage of Premier’s Scottish Premiership coverage throughout last season.
While she continues to work for the channel, and has already been seen covering Rangers’ European exploits this season, she WON’T be the main host of the channel’s league coverage this season.
This season, it’s Connie McLaughlin who’ll be taking over as the main presenter.
She’s no stranger to Scottish football fans having worked across various channels on TV and radio for several years.
McLaughlin has been a key part of Premier’s coverage itself for some time too.
She’s been the channel’s man pitchside reporter, conducting pre and post-match interviews and has also presented several cup games on the channel.
McLaughlin was the lead presenter for the broadcaster’s coverage of the Premier Sports Cup group stage during the summer.
But now, the big job is hers and she’s revealed she’ll be leading the Scottish Premiership output this campaign.
Taking to Instagram, McLaughlin said: “We are back this weekend!
“I’m feeling very excited to tell you I’ll be fronting Premier Sports’ league coverage this season!
“We can’t wait to bring you 22 league games starting at Ibrox on Saturday!”
McLaughlin also revealed the rest of the broadcast team for the first game on the channel this weekend.
She’ll be joined by Premier Sports regulars Alan Hutton, Michael Stewart and Stephen Craigan, while ex-Celtic star Charlie Mulgrew will also be part of it.
As ever, Rory Hamilton will be leading the commentary.
