The Go Radio Football Show: March 3rd, 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! Paul Cooney is joined by Peter Grant and special guest Stephen O’Donnell for a cracking deep dive into the most dramatic title race Scottish football has seen in years. With four teams in contention, heated debates, bold tactical takes, and inside‑the‑dressing‑room insight, this episode delivers analysis, banter, controversy, and expert knowledge from those who’ve lived it. The Old Firm Fallout: A blistering first half from Rangers, a Celtic revival in the second — the team break down how momentum swung, why the game felt like “two matches in one,” and why Danny Rohl’s key substitution changed everything. Stephen gives the player’s perspective on how refereeing moments and tiny tactical tweaks can flip crowd energy — and ultimately the match. Motherwell’s Meteoric Rise: Stephen O’Donnell lifts the lid on Motherwell’s incredible season: top‑six early, a European push, and how the team has gone from underdog to title‑race disruptor. Insight into their defensive “calmness philosophy,” the importance of rest‑defence and structure, and why their manager’s meticulous approach is turning heads across Scotland. A Four‑Horse Title Race — Can You Believe It? Peter and Stephen break down why Hearts are in pole position, why Celtic and Rangers can’t afford a single slip, and why Motherwell are the wildcard with nothing to lose. How kickoff timings, pressure swings, and fan tension impact this razor‑tight run‑in. Scotland at the World Cup The guys look ahead to the opening game vs Haiti and debate what Scotland must learn from previous tournaments.

The Go Radio Football Show: 27th of February 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! Old Firm mind games, selection dilemmas, fan unrest, and a title race on a knife edge. This episode delivers a fast-paced, fiery build‑up to one of the most anticipated Glasgow Derby weekends in years — all fuelled by sharp opinions, genuine insider insight, and a heavy dose of pre‑match tension. Celtic’s first-ever win on German soil sets the tone, sparking debate on their momentum, their unexpected eight‑change gamble in Stuttgart, and the emerging goalkeeper selection headache. Meanwhile, Rangers’ camp radiates confidence as Danny Rohl fires subtle verbal grenades, prompting reactions ranging from amused to outraged across the panel and callers. Barry Ferguson and Darren O’Dea offer deep tactical takes: Will Rangers go two up top? Will Martin O’Neill trust youth (Dane Murray) or experience (Kasper Schmeichel)? Can Celtic cope with the intensity and set‑play threat at Ibrox? Is the midfield battle already the deciding factor? The title race twists continue, with Motherwell’s momentum, Hearts' nerve under pressure, and Aberdeen’s decline all scrutinised. There’s also a fascinating conversation on fan power at Celtic, Lord Willie Haughey’s £10m share initiative, and how atmosphere — or lack of it — can make or break a season. Listener calls bring extra spice, including accusations of disrespect, claims of manager mind‑games, and bold predictions. And of course, the team makes their own scoreline calls for Sunday — divided, passionate, and absolutely certain of one thing: this one could change the season.

Packed with breaking news, major revelations, match analysis, and a storm of opinion, the show dives straight into the heart of Celtic’s European night in Stuttgart — and the deepening tensions shaping the club’s future. The headline moment? A major exclusive from Lord Willie Haughey, who unveils a fan‑driven initiative that could reshape Celtic’s governance and reconnect a fractured relationship between supporters and the board.

The Go Radio Football Show: 24th of February 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! A weekend where controversy overshadowed quality, tempers flared on and off the pitch, and the title race somehow became even tighter. This episode is a full‑throttle dive into the most controversial refereeing weekend of the season — and the decision to hand John Beaton the whistle for Rangers v Celtic. With VAR dominating headlines, Paul Cooney, Mark Guidi and Darren O’Dea unpack a catalogue of officiating errors, the psychology of referees under scrutiny, and the growing sense that the title race is being shaped as much by the men in the middle as the players on the pitch. The Beaton Appointment Shock Darren O’Dea admits he’s “surprised he’s been picked” for the derby. Mark Guidi goes harder: Beaton’s “off‑form this season” and hasn’t earned this fixture. The panel question whether Willie Collum has chosen form — or simply rotation. VAR: From Safety Net to Circus Multiple examples of VAR interventions that still produced the wrong outcome. Mark blasts the “cosiness” between refs and VAR officials — no one wants to overrule a colleague. Darren: the real anger comes from refs having all the angles… and still getting it wrong. The Trusty Red Card & Scales Penalty Debate O’Dea: Trusty’s action was “idiotic” but not the kind of thing you want to see red cards for. Guidi: Scales’ jersey pull happens at every set piece — not a penalty for him. Celtic’s appeal? Dismissed. Three‑match ban stands. Rangers’ Stumble at Livingston Danny Röhl praises the “character” to come back from 2–0 down. Fans furious at dropped points against a side winless since August. Caller Paul questions John Souttar’s form — and whether he’s costing Rangers. Hearts & Motherwell: The Real Title Disruptors Hearts keep grinding out results; Guidi says they’re “playing with no pressure.” Motherwell’s defensive record is elite — only 18 conceded in 27 games. Caller Hugh claims they could go unbeaten in the final 11 games. Darren doesn’t dismiss it. Celtic’s Form Crisis O’Dea: Celtic “don’t look like Celtic” and will need to scrap their way through the run‑in. Guidi: despite everything, the title is still in Celtic’s hands — win out, and they’re champions. The Old Firm Showdown Looms Rangers favourites at Ibrox — but neither side convincing. Guidi: Rangers haven’t won a meaningful derby in years. O’Dea: the winner on Sunday gets the psychological spark they’ve both been missing.
