Unsurprisingly the Rangers manager search dominates this week's Set Piece - with the focus on one man in particular.
That man, of course, is Steven Gerrard - who is in the running for a sensational Ibrox return after the departure of Russell Martin in the wake of Sunday's draw with Falkirk.
Robert Grieve and Bill Leckie debate if a return to the Ibrox hot seat four years after his departure makes sense - both for him and the club?
They ponder if Derek McInnes at Hearts could yet become a live contender and assess one man who could have been perfect - IF he hadn't removed himself from the running.
The guys also cast an eye over the messy end to Russell Martin's short tenure at Ibrox - and the questions Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe must be asking of Gerrard.
Then there's Celtic, and where the ongoing tensions between the club's fans and the board go from here after a showdown meeting which didn't seem to go well.
Finally, it's onto Scotland, and their huge World Cup double header with Greece and Belarus - as the guys dream of looking out their passports for USA, Mexico and Canada.

David Friel joins Robert Grieve in The Set Piece studio to rake over another massive week in club and international football.
First up, they tackle the ongoing trouble at Celtic, where Brendan Rodgers has been left in a 'difficult position' after a transfer window which has the fans up in arms.
The guys ponder whether Rodgers should have walked amid the chaos, where he goes from here and what we can expect from Daizen Maeda and new boy Kelechi Iheanacho in the remainder of the season.
Then it's over to Rangers, where a string of fine individual performances from Gers stars on international duty have changed the mood music but in-form Hearts have it in their power to heap the pressure right back on Russell Martin in a huge Ibrox clash on Saturday.
Finally, Robert can't hide his excitement after two fine Scotland performances in a week which have him dreaming of the national team's first World Cup appearance since 1998.
Let's just say he makes a bold prediction - and it isn't one which fans of Denmark will take too kindly!

Robert Grieve and Bill Leckie take issue over who's to blame over Celtic's transfer chaos - and whether Brendan Rodgers has been the 'entitled' one over it.
And there's also a difference of opinion when it comes to Rangers sanctioning a £10m outlay on Everton youngster Youssef Chermiti - and whether Leeds' Patrick Bamford would have been a better signing.
The duo also tackle the difficulties in attracting players of the ability of Kasper Dolberg to Scottish football, and where Nico Raskin goes from here after being banished from Old Firm duty by Russell Martin.
Finally, the guys ask what's happened to Kieran Tierney and turn their attention to a massive Scotland game away in Denmark and who Steve Clarke should turn to to get the World Cup campaign up and running with a win.
