It’s the end of the season and the end of an era. Scotland bow out of the June friendlies with one win and one defeat, but should the SFA be calling time on Steve Clarke's reign ahead of the World Cup qualifiers And would someone like Big Ange be a perfect replacement... or even David Martindale?! Ross County are down as the 24/25 season concludes fully, with everyone now fully pushing on with preparations for the next campaign. Players are already starting to move, and some eye-catching appo...

The boy can do no wrong. And he's not the only one lifting silverware... Billy Gilmour, Lewis Ferguson, Josh Diog and Andy Robertson have all been getting in on the fun. East Kilbride have made it t...
Scott McTominay is ripping it up in Serie A and the Napoli fans are signing That’s Amore.

Hampden On The Moon

Hampden On The Moon

2025-04-2248:02

Aberdeen and Celtic will meet in the Scottish Cup Final in the season finale showdown, but if Dave Cormack is to be believed, that's a hell of a journey for the Dons support... It's all happening in the lower leagues with Livingston closing the gap on Falkirk - are the Bairns bottling it? And Peterhead host East Fife this weekend in the top of the table showdown in League Two. Hamilton Accies have been relegated from the Championship in a dramatic turn of events last week, as they were ...

2025-04-1538:59

Not one but two Scottish sides were crowned Champions this weekend, but Rangers denied Celtic the chance to be the third in what is becoming typical Bazza Comeback fashion. While Arbroath and Brora Rangers sealed their respective titles, St Mirren snatched the final top six spot on Split Day, denying Motherwell and Hearts. League reconstruction is still hot on everyone's lips, would you have a 10, 12, 14 or 16 team league? And Rangers go to Bilbao next for the quarter final second leg of t...

Talk about Super Sunday?! 11 goals in two derbies left us with loads to talk about this week. Dumbarton also avoided relegation in the dying seconds... but that's only denying the inevitable for a little longer. Scotland take on Greece in the Nations League play off, for a place in League A. But while there are some exciting young additions to the squad, we question the worth in handing call ups to boys who have played for other countries. And just weeks on from their historic Scottish Cup wi...

If it wasn't for two midge's bawhairs Rangers could have been going into the Europa League second leg 5-1 up on Fenerbahce. But they're still taking a healthy 3-1 advantage in over Jose Mourinho's side this week. Join the industry-experienced; Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks for the latest ridiculous stories across Scottish football. Meanwhile, the Scottish Cup is heading into the semi finals, Falkirk are running away with the Championship and what in the forfing forf is going...
Half time flash interviews, scrapping 0-0 draws and pubs that don't play the commentary... what do you hate about modern football? Barry Ferguson has taken interim charge of Rangers and it has led to one of the most entertaining week's on Scottish football Twitter. The Staunch Avengers are in place and we're all here for it, get the popcorn out. Hibs have moved third in the Premiership after beating Hearts 2-1 in the Edinburgh derby, Motherwell are back in the mix after back-to-back wins at I...
Philippe Clement's time at Rangers comes to an end... far later than we all expected. And so has Kris Doolan's at Partick Thistle too. But also in the world of managerial movements, Motherwell welcome Michael Wimmer. And David Gray is essentially a new man at Hibs too these days?! Jose Mourinho is coming to Ibrox too... but unlikely in that context. Probably just with Fenerbahce in the Europa League. Catch up with Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks for the latest new, funny storie...
Philippe Clement is clinging onto his job as Rangers manager, despite suffering one of the worst defeats in Scottish Cup history at the weekend. We talk about how this would be comparable to the world’s worst relationship, just in time for some joyful Valentine’s Day celebrations. But the cup shock wasn’t all doom and gloom, Queen’s Park fan Enzo, from Spiders Talk Podcast, is peeled off the ceiling to join us for a chat. Ryan Hardie continued the theme of cup shocks, scorin...
IN THE FACE!

IN THE FACE!

2025-02-0759:04

As the transfer window slams shut for another 6 months, we delve behind the scenes with Sky Sports' Anthony Joseph to see what makes one of the most dramatic nights of the football calendar tick. Stuart Kettlewell has left his post at Motherwell, citing the abuse he was receiving from supporters as his main reason for walking away. And it was an absolute coupon-buster last week in Scottish football, with many punters have to take one IN THE FACE as a whole host of surprising results cropped u...

If you haven't seen Barry's Biscuits yet, where have you been? Probably hiding from the storm, we'll let you off. Celtic and Rangers are into the knock out rounds of Europe with a game to spare. It's MD8 in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League this week. Jota is back, Kyogo is away and it's only just hotting up as we approach the January transfer window deadline day. And would the two Dundee clubs ever share a stadium? Join Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks as they...
Rangers are scrapping their B team... so we look at what that means for youth academies and young, promising players in Scotland. We lost two greats of the game this week, with the sad passings of Jimmy Calderwood and Denis Law. And St Johnstone may have won in the Scottish Cup at the weekend, but they're rock bottom in the Premiership. Can they avoid the drop? Greg Browning joins us to review a disastrous season so far for the Saints. Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks break d...
We try and not get caught up in VAR-gate but refereeing decisions and pyro are the hottest topics as we head into the Christmas break. Willie Collum has admitted his VAR team made a mistake not giving Rangers a penalty in the League Cup Final and SFA Chief Executive Ian Maxwell has again came out lambasting the use of pyro at football games. Meanwhile, Hearts have crashed out of Europe, leaving our coefficient in a difficult place. It’s another cheery week in Scottish football! Join Find...
The authorities clearly don’t like the ultra culture sweeping Scotland right now but the scenes in the stands would say fans feel differently. We’ve seen a growing connection in authorities speaking about these supporter groups in a derogatory manner, brandishing them hooligans, committing violent crimes. So in order to move the conversation forward we teamed up with Mentalida Media’s Martino Simcik to ask who are Ultras, what ethics do they derive from and do they have a place in football?...
Celtic triumphed in a classic cup final which saw six goals and a penalty shootout against city rivals Rangers. Hearts have a huge week ahead, they’re one game away from being in Europe after Christmas for the first time in their history. And Scotland’s World Cup draw sees us facing Greece (again), Belarus (behind closed doors) and the losers of Denmark v Portugal. Join Findlay Marks and Laura Brannan for the latest in Scottish football, including what pitches are OCD-friendly. ...
You might not have heard of them before, but two little clubs called Rangers and Celtic are competing for the first silverware of the season this weekend. Whilst the Hoops have been in imperious domestic form, their cross-city rivals have stuttered for most of the season so far. But this is an Old Firm cup final, which means absolutely anything can happen. With Andrew and Laura currently in the midst of broadcasting madness, Findlay Marks was flying solo this week as he caught up with Joshu...
Hibs have moved off the bottom of the table, leaving Edinburgh rivals Hearts rooted to the base instead. Meanwhile in Europe, Rangers are treating their fans to Thursday nights under the lights but continuing to punish them at the weekend. Scotland assistant manager John Carver has taken on another job, Scott McKenna is on fire against Barcelona and there’s been a change ahead of the World Cup qualifying draw later this month. It’s also been 30 years since they were dancing in the streets ...
League A? OK Doak

League A? OK Doak

2024-11-1935:28

More late drama in League A as Scotland rescue their place in the top division, for the time being, thanks to Andy Robertson’s last minute winner against Poland. Finishing third means we miss out on Pot 1 for the World Cup qualifiers but there’s a small chance we can still make it into Pot 2. And we now face a play off to stay in the top flight, thanks to John McGinn and captain Robbo, rather than automatic relegation which seemed inevitable earlier in the tournament. Andrew Slaven is...
