Derek Rae to Leave BT Sport

Truly gutted but understand his decision. He is the best commentator, in my opinion, on British television. He is always well research and always speaks with enthusiasm whether it's a Scottish, German or European game. I may be biased, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with his education at the University of Aberdeen.

A tremendous voice of positivity on Scottish football, when most people in the media seem to put it down. A tough void to fill for BT Sport.

Yup, my favorite as well. Used to love him back when he commentated in the Champions League.

His name and face didn't ring any bells with me but his voice did when I looked him up on YouTube. 

Sad to see him quit the commentary scene but wish him all the best for the future. 

I think he'll continue commentating but in the US, he only moved back to Europe about 2009 with ESPN UK. Those Americans are lucky people to have him.
