Two bottom-six matches after the Scottish Premiership split will be broadcast live from next season following changes agreed with the Scottish Professional Football League.

Sky Sports has the rights to show 60 live top-flight games per season in Scotland, with Premier Sports securing a deal to show 20 live matches for five years from last term.

That deal precluded Premier from showing any matches after game 33, when the league splits in half.

But the SPFL and both broadcasters have agreed to change the agreement to allow Premier to screen two live matches in the bottom half of the table.
