Watch Motherwell v Celtic on BBC Radio Scotland with Thomas Duncan and Andy Burke

The Scottish Premiership match between Motherwell and Celtic takes place on Saturday 11 October 2026, with kickoff scheduled at 12:00 UK time. Fans looking for coverage have several BBC feeds to choose from, with the BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Sounds app and BBC Sport Online (audio) all carrying the programme. Presenting is Andy Burke, a senior Scottish sports reporter and presenter, with commentary led by Thomas Duncan and supported by John Collins. A range of additional voices round out the BBC coverage, from the pundits Callum Davidson to the reporters Jane Lewis and Martin Dowden.

The BBC Scottish Football programme

On the BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra feed, Andy Burke takes the presenting role, joined by Thomas Duncan as main commentator and John Collins as co-commentator. The same team is followed across BBC Radio Scotland, the BBC Sounds app and BBC Sport Online audio, so whichever of these channels you tune into you can expect a consistent programme. Martin Dowden is logged as reporter on the BBC Radio 5 Live feed, while Jane Lewis takes the reporter role on the BBC Sportscene channel.

Some of these names are well established among Scottish football fans. Thomas Duncan describes himself as a broadcast journalist with the Scottish sports media, and has been active commenting on Scottish Premiership fixtures for several years. Andy Burke is a senior Scottish sports reporter and presenter, and his presence on the presenting desk ties this match to the broader family of BBC Scottish football coverage that fans have come to rely on.

The Sky Sports feeds

Sky Sports carries the match across a number of its channels. On the Sky Sports highlights and world feed, Ian Crocker is main commentator with Chris Sutton as co-commentator. The Sky Sports Football HD channel adds further pundits, with Jas McFadden and Scott McDonald both featured, alongside Kris Boyd as a further pundit. Ian Crocker and Chris Sutton again headline the commentary, while Luke Shanley takes the reporter role.

The Sky Sports News and HD feeds follow a slightly lighter format, with Chris Sutton operating as pundit and Luke Shanley reporting. That means Chris Sutton appears across much of the Sky coverage, anchoring commentary between the Football HD and news programmes.

Background on the key names

Callum Davidson brings considerable pedigree to the pundit role. He played as a left-back for St Johnstone, Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Preston North End between 1994 and 2014, and at international level represented Scotland on 19 occasions between 1998 and 2009. Since retiring as a player, Callum Davidson has become a football coach and was given his first full-time role in management with St Johnstone in June 2020, so he is well placed to comment on how the Scottish teams are getting on.

For those interested in following the work of the BBC programme, the Scottish Football podcast that Martin Dowden and Thomas Duncan contribute to can be followed on Spotify, where similar ahead-of-the-match discussions take place.

With kickoff at 12:00 UK time on 11 October 2026, there is plenty of scope to line up your preferred channel ahead of time. Whether you prefer the BBC Scottish programme presented by Andy Burke and commented on by Thomas Duncan, or the Sky Sports feeds led by Ian Crocker and Chris Sutton, the Motherwell v Celtic fixture should offer plenty to follow. Given the wider Scottish football picture, including some fans reporting dissatisfaction and pressure on the Aberdeen side, it promises to be an interesting match at both ends of the table.
