On the latest podcast, John is joined by returning guests from last week as Michael and Ross are on to talk about their respective teams success at the weekend. To begin with we reflect on a remarkable Premiership Playoff Final where Partick Thistle looked to have sealed promotion only for events to take a massive turn. We reflect on both games, the crucial events and Ross gives us an insight in to what it was like to be at Dingwall on Sunday. There is no doubt that the occasion was a fantastic advert for Scottish football. Michael reflects on Celtic's Scottish Cup win as they secured an eighth treble in their history as they defeated Inverness. The main talking point though is the potential loss of Ange Postecoglou as he looks set to join Spurs. We discuss what this may mean going forward and potential candidates to replace him.

It's another Women's Football Special as John B and Dave are joined by two Clare's, ex-Rangers player Clare Gemmell and Celtic podcaster Clare Wilde of 90 minute Cynic. We review what was a dramatic ending to the SWPL1 title race that were played out at Ibrox and Celtic Park, an incredible statement in itself for the Women's game. In a three-way battle for the title, it looked as though Celtic were about to become Champions for the first time, but Lauren Davidson snatched an injury time winner to wrestle the title from their grasp, and also take the crown back from Rangers who were also in the hunt. It meant that the taxi taking Fiona McIntyre and the trophy to Celtic Park was rerouted to Ibrox, but to hand it to Glasgow City who claimed a 16th title, which is considered their sweetest success. Dave spoke to Leanne Ross and Hayley Lauder at full time to gauge their reaction. The rest of the league season is then rounded off where Hearts made some great strides by finishing fourth, Aberdeen ended a troubled

In another throwback special, we look back twenty years to season 2002/03 which saw the league come down to a final day shootout, a trip to a European final for Celtic, and seventh treble for Rangers. John B is joined by regular retro specialist Krys for the Celtic perspective and returning guest John W for the Rangers perspective. We look at the remarkable mirror of results the two sides had, with one title defining exception, as well of course at the five showdowns the two sides had across the season. Discussing the various qualities that both sides had at that time, as well as the fate of a few other clubs that season, the focus inevitably turns to that remarkable run which took Celtic not just to Europe after Christmas for the first time in twenty years, but all the way to a European final for the first time in thirty three years. One which Krys was fortunately enough to attend in person. But it was Rangers who would finish the season with all of the domestic trophies in their cabinet, from the League C

This week on the show we welcomed Cameron (Ayr United) and David (Partick Thistle) to talk the upcoming playoff showdown between the two former-McCall clubs. We also discuss Dundee's title win, Owen Coyle being mutual consented and the chances for Dundee, Partick and Ayr facing the 11th placed premiership team and the possibility of going up.

It's the latest of our Women's Football review as John B and Dave take a look at recent events in the Scottish game. The Scotland National Team had a good Easter weekend with a 1-0 win over World Cup hosts Australia in London, and followed this up with a resounding 4-0 win over Costa Rica at Hampden. 17 year old Emma Watson grabbed most of the headlines with two eye catching performances, and two goals at the National Stadium, and the guys talk up her prospects, including a potential move to Manchester United though staying at Rangers can't be ruled out. With the inaugral Nations League draw looming, it was two confidence boosting wins for Pedro Martinez Losa's side as they seek to reach the next European Championship Finals in 2025. Before last weekend, Glasgow City were eight points clear of Celtic and nine ahead of defending champions Rangers. Consecutive home defeats to the Old Firm within four days has whittled that gap down to just three points between the three sides. Can Leanne Ross galvanise her si

The latest podcast sees us review the Scotland v Cyprus game from Saturday where we won 3-0. The two John's, Josh and guest Grant Campbell are on to discuss how the game went. We take a slightly different approach to this as we go through the team individually, assess their performance and give them a rating out of 10.

This then leads on to whether those who came off the bench should start against Spain and how we expect to line up. Can we defeat Spain for a famous win under the floodlights?

It's another Scottish Women's Football roundup and the regular trio of John B, Vinny and Dave give their views on everything that's happened in the Women's game over the last few weeks. Glasgow City have taken a six-point lead at the top thanks largely to victory away to Celtic, and this form lead to Leanne Ross moving from interim to permanent Head Coach. Is it one hand on a 16th SWPL title for them or have Celtic and Rangers got enough in them to overhaul them? Hearts had long secured a top six finish and have an eight point lead over their city rivals Hibs, who also secured a top six spot. They were joined by Partick Thistle, whose victory at Dundee United edged them into the final top six position ahead of Motherwell and Spartans. For a club who were promoted to the top flight at the 11th hour due to the sad demise of Forfar Farmington, it's an incredible achievement for Brian Graham's girls to get to this position in only their second season in the top flight. Vinny caught up with Thistle's longest ser
