Scottish fans have complained that the BBC's Euro 2020 coverage is too biased towards Gareth Southgate's team after an MP moaned about its pro-English slant.
The corporation said it has been contacted by a number of viewers who were unhappy about comments favouring the England team during matches from commentators and presenters.

But the BBC said broadcasts had also featured pundits from other home nations including ex-Scotland player James McFadden and former women's team manager Shelley Kerr.
Last month Alba Party MP Kenny MacAskill called for the Scottish Parliament to be given more power over the running of the BBC and referred to pro-English bias in its football coverage - a claim which the corporation rejects.
