<H1 class=u-story-hdr>BBC Scotland to air soccer in Gaelic</H1><P class=u-intro>EDINBURGH, Scotland, Sept. 24 (UPI) -- Scots who understand the old tongue may get to listen to a live soccer broadcast in Gaelic for the first time in 10 years.
BBC Scotland's Gaelic radio service, Radio Nan Gaidheal, says it plans to broadcast a European championship qualifying soccer match.
The game is between Scotland and France and will be the first match in which Radio nan Gaidheal has provided live coverage since 1992.
Gaelic-speaking listeners had to settle for English commentary during this year's World Cup, with match analysis in their language on the radio next morning.
The head of Gaelic at BBC Scotland, Margaret Mary Murray, said, "We are delighted that live football commentary is returning to our output. It is one of the most important Scotland games for years."
