Scottish Football Extra fans left gutted as Chris Sutton and Ally McCoist show off air due to 'technical issue'

They may not have the rights to the Premiership anymore, but BT Sport's Scottish Football Extra is a highlight of the viewing week for fans across the country.

Featuring the good-natured bickering of Ally McCoist and Chris Sutton, both expertly marshalled by Darrell Currie, it's a firm favourite despite the loss of the live broadcasting rights.

But fans across the country were left gutted when they tuned in at 6.30pm on Friday only to find the Rangers and Celtic legends were not on the airwaves.

Instead BT Sport showed French football highlights, followed by some of the best bits from Serie A.

With viewers left confused by the unannounced change of schedule, Currie took to Twitter to explain what had happened.

He wrote: "Apologies - we’ve had a technical issue and Scottish Football Extra has not been aired yet. Hopefully it will now go out at 10.15pm on BT Sport, with further repeats tomorrow morning. Will update further if I receive any more info."

And fans were left gutted as they missed their weekly fix.

@scotgeezer: This is BS.. can't even be bothered to change schedule. Wouldn't happen to EPL review earlier

@ailasabel: Turned on to watch the show and it isn't on at all.
