I know, I know - the Spanish football league is one of the best in Europe. In Barcelona and Real Madrid, it possesses two of the most glamorous and successful European clubs; while Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid have more than respectable records at European level. So why would one of the major Spanish terrestrial TV channels choose to undertake the live broadcast on a Saturday afternoon of a match from Scotland (la Liga Escocesa)?
Nevertheless, it is a fact that this afternoon TVE2 is showing the Celtic-Gretna match to the entire Spanish nation. Surreal.
Out of a sense of duty (and misplaced patriotism), I will therefore be forced to relinquish the sun-lounger in the gardens and come indoors to watch the Gretna galacticos strut their stuff. We all have to make sacrifices.
