Furious Ibrox fans inundated Premier Sports after tuning in to watch their heroes in action against Progres Niederkorn only to be met with Munster v Leinster rugby being shown by Eir Sport 2 of Ireland!
The bears were far from happy that their £10/month subscription saw them miss the first 16 minutes of the action from Luxembourg.
Premier Sports opted out of showing Celtic’s 2-0 win away to Nomme Kalju preferring to spend their budget watching the Gerrard Revolution which saw Jermain Defoe starting in front of hot-shot striker Alfredo Morelos.
Why am I watching Air Sports rugby on @virginmedia channel 551? Advertised as St Joseph’s v Rangers highlights from round 1, but I’m seeing Munster v Leinster rugby union. What’s going on? I’m only here to watch the @RangersFC ???? ??????????????????????????????

After 16 minutes Premier Sports were able to show the action from Luxembourg but there was no commentary which spared subscribers from listening to the anti-Catholic hate songs from the visiting support.
Gerrard’s side went into the match with a 2-0 lead to defend but lost 2-0 in their previous trip to Luxembourg during the Caixinha Revolution. Andy Halliday has been named as one of the substitutes.

Club 1872 are expected to release a furious statement later tonight.
