Sky Sports comply with Ibrox ban
Sky Sports has left Andy Walker out of their coverage from Ibrox today.
The former Celtic striker was denied access to Ibrox for the recent Glasgow Derby but there was no comment or complaint made by the broadcaster.
Media bans have been fairly common around Ibrox this season but with their £25m/year deal with the SPFL, Sky has more clout than any other media outlet.
It’s trophy day in the Scottish Premiership. 286 days after opening their campaign in Aberdeen, #Rangers end it with silverware. Sadly an empty Ibrox but we will bring it to your homes on @ScotlandSky. Ally McCoist and Kris Boyd plus special guests in the studio. On air 11.30am

Walker has been the regular co-commentator with Ian Crocker for almost all of this season’s matches on Sky Sports but has failed to appear on their screens since the May 2 decision when he was refused access to Ibrox.
The day after the Glasgow Derby it was claimed that Walker was also banned from Celtic Park although Sky haven’t covered a live match since March 21.
