Scottish League Cup 2025: Dundee vs Airdrieonians Live Commentary on BBC Radio Scotland

On Saturday 12th July 2025 at 15:00 UK time, fans of Scottish football can tune in to BBC Radio Scotland for live coverage of the Scottish League Cup clash between Dundee and Airdrieonians. Coverage will also be available on the BBC Sounds App and BBC Sport Online via audio streaming, ensuring fans across Britain can follow the match live wherever they are.

The broadcast team is led by presenter Thomas Duncan, known for his insightful football presenting on BBC Scotland. The main commentator will be Rob Maclean, a veteran voice in Scottish football commentary with extensive experience covering major matches for BBC and other outlets. Joining him as co-commentator is Allan Preston, a former professional footballer with a rich insight into the Scottish game, providing expert tactical analysis. The matchday pundit will be Stephen Craigan, former Northern Ireland international and experienced football analyst, renowned for his sharp footballing intellect from his years playing at top level.

This group stage match of the 2025–26 Scottish League Cup will mark the first meeting of these two sides this season. Last year, Dundee delivered a commanding 6-1 win over Airdrieonians in the second round, setting the tone for what promises to be a competitive fixture. The Dark Blues come into the match having made six summer signings, including Plamen Galabov potentially starting in central defence and Paul Digby in midfield alongside Finlay Robertson and Cesar Garza. For the visitors, Airdrieonians, new signings Alex King, Euan Henderson, Jamie Barjonas, Craig Ross, and Sean McGinty could feature prominently as they aim to build on last season’s efforts.

For fans seeking a visual broadcast option, the match is also accessible via TNT Sports starting at 14:00 UK time. TNT Sports has secured the Scottish League Cup rights and offers comprehensive coverage of the tournament, providing live video streams and detailed match analysis.

The BBC’s audio service remains a pivotal way for fans to experience the atmosphere and expert commentary surrounding Scottish football matches, particularly those like this group stage League Cup tie which may not always secure a prime TV slot nationally. The combination of Thomas Duncan’s presenting skills, Rob Maclean’s authoritative commentary, Allan Preston’s tactically astute co-commentary, and Stephen Craigan’s punditry ensures listeners are in expert hands.

Supporters can also engage with live match statistics, lineups, and player ratings through platforms such as Sofascore, which provides in-depth real-time data throughout the game.

With the Scottish League Cup group stage underway, this clash between Dundee and Airdrieonians promises a compelling encounter full of competitive edge and footballing quality.
