Sky Sports issue grovelling apology to Rangers, Celtic and Hoops fans over Morelos interview translation
SKY SPORTS have issued an apology to Rangers, Celtic and Hoops fans over the translation of their interview with Alfredo Morelos.
The Light Blues striker's sit-down with the network was broadcast on TV and social media earlier this week.
"We apologise to both Celtic and Rangers football clubs as well as Alfredo Morelos for the issues caused by these errors.
"After numerous steps undertaken by Sky to verify the interview thoroughly we can be clear that at no point did Morelos allege that any racial abuse was directed at him by Celtic supporters in the interview.
"We apologise to the supporters of Celtic Football Club for this serious error.
"We are reviewing our procedures for translated interviews to ensure this does not occur in future."
Sky Sports also released a full transcript of their interview with Morelos, complete with a "professionally verified translation."
