Derek Rae (born 1967) is a Scottish association football commentator for ESPN in the US and former commentator for BT Sport.Rae grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland. During his youth he attended football matches with a tape recorder to work on his commentary. At the age of 15 he began his professional broadcasting career calling games for a radio station that broadcast to local hospitals. In 1986, BBC Radio Scotland announcer David Francey suffered a knee injury and Rae, a 19-year-old student at the University of Aberdeen who had sent the BBC a copy of his radio work, substituted for him on the call of a Scottish Premier Division game between Kilmarnock F.C. and Dumbarton F.C.. The network was impressed and hired Rae to call the Rous Cup match between rivals England and Scotland the following week. The BBC then hired him as its Scotland football correspondent, a job he held for five years. Rae was the 1987 British Sports Broadcaster of the Year. Wikipedia
