The Beeb did not provide any reasoning for the glaring omissions on set as Scott broke down Saturday’s action alongside Stephen Warnock and Martin Keown.
Lineker has been Match of the Day present since 1999, following Des Lynam’s 11-year tenure. He first started as an analyst on the hugely popular show after retiring from football in 1994.
And the 63-year-old is set to continue in the role for years to come despite close friend Wright announcing his MOTD departure at the end of the season.
But while Scott is a talented, widely respected presenter, Lineker’s absence from his hosting duties on Saturday night was felt by loyal viewers, sparking a wave of confusion on social media.
