Dublin-based broadcasters announced they had signed a £2.75m two-year
deal.
Nine fixtures this season and nine next will be available to
subscribers in the UK and Ireland - in addition those already due to be shown live on BBC Scotland will be made available to subscribers.
All 18 games are expected to feature Rangers and Celtic - the fee to be
split 50-50 between the clubs involved in each match which should bring
in somewhere between £300,000 and £400,000 for each club.
The first set the Setanta games is expected to go out on - the
weekend of 19/20 October. The vast majority of games will be kicking off at 12.30 on a Saturday.
The cost of each game will be £7.95.
