BBC Scotland will bring all the action live from both
legs of Celtic's second-round Champions League qualifying tie.
Last week BBC Scotland announced it had secured the
live television and radio rights to tomorrow night's first leg against
Artmedia Bratislava at the National Stadium in the Slovakian capital.
Now the broadcaster has acquired the live radio and
television rights to the vital return game on Tuesday 2 August (kick-off
at 7.45pm).
By then, Celtic will know their potential next opponents
as the draw for the final preliminary round takes place on Friday.
The first leg of the clash with Artmedia Bratislava will be transmitted live on BBC ONE Scotland with live commentary also on BBC Radio Scotland. The return leg next Tuesday will be on BBC TWO Scotland.
Tomorrow night's kick-off is at 7.00pm and the programme
begins at 6.55pm, immediately after Reporting Scotland.
News of the rights victory for the Artmedia tie provides
a further boost for armchair supporters as the new football campaign
gets underway.
BBC Scotland has already secured the live television
and radio rights for Scotland's friendly against Austria
at the Arnold Schwarzenegger Stadium on 17 August.
The match will be
shown live on BBC TWO Scotland, with kick-off at 7.30pm.
