New deal shows Scottish clubs are still at wrong end of rich list

Scotland's top clubs are celebrating after a radical overhaul of the League Cup landed them an £8million windfall.

BT Sport have signed up to screen the new-look competition for the next four years, with 13 matches from the tournament - which now features a summer group stage and a bonus-point shoot-out for drawn matches - to be broadcast live per season.

Bosses from the Scottish Professional Football League say the new TV package will net clubs more than double the £900,000 a year generated by the current BBC deal.

But even with these boosted figures, Scottish sides are still operating at the bottom end of the football rich list.
