Sportscene outlasts Match of the Day with just TWO games amid BBC coverage cut back during Gary Lineker row

A pundit-less Sportscene was slashed to just 30 minutes - but will have lasted for longer than Match of the Day which has been cut further amid the row with Gary Lineker.

The broadcaster confirmed earlier today that Scottish football's flagship programme would follow Match of the Day and implement an "amended format" for the coverage of the Scottish Cup as the dispute with Lineker rumbles on.

The host stepped back from his role following a controversial tweet criticising the UK Government, but the move has seen commentators, pundits and presenters refuse to appear during the highlights of the Premier League action.

BBC Scotland that the team north of the border would follow suit with major changes to the typical Sportscene coverage of the Scottish Cup.
