TV network ESPN is looking to acquire further British sports rights and will consider Scottish football after its recent success with the English Premier League, an ESPN executive said. "We always look at things when they come up," said executive vice president and managing director of ESPN International Russell Wolff.

"If they make good business sense, we go after them; we certainly are looking at other things at the moment, but we're not committed at the moment and have nothing yet to add."

Asked about the impending auction for Scottish rights, Wolff said ESPN would take a look.
