Another said: "The quality is an absolute disgrace tonight!!! Sort it out premier sports"

One supporter wrote: "Premier sports picture quality is absolutely shocking"

"Premier Sports picture quality is terrible", said one.

The Tweets kept coming throughout the first period.

One user said: "It’s a bold strategy from Premier Sports to launch the first streaming player that needs to be rebooted every ten minutes without fail. Hope it works out for them"

Another added: "Outrageous that premier sports charge for this coverage, the quality is so bad. All pixelated, jumpy and grainy."

Premier Sports tweeted from their official account to offer a fix, advising Sky customers to switch channels.

They tweeted: "Due to picture issues some Sky customers are experiencing on Premier Sports 1 we are now also showing Celtic v St Johnstone on Premier Sports 2. Please switch over to channel 421."
