Yes Sir

Yes Sir

Yes sir, Scotland have done it. After 22 long years of hurt, we are back in the big time.

In this show, the guys praise all of those of a Tartan Army persuasion from Steve Clarke to David Marshall, Ryan Christie and even Eck McLeish.

They ponder just how we'll get on at Euro 2020 - and what kind of shot in the arm our game has just been given.

A Scottish Exorcism

Scotland are about to end their 22 year wait to qualify for a major championship - and we're going to do it by beating Serbia on Thursday night.

Micky Mellon-choly

What now after two big Nations League wins over Slovakia and Czech Republic, with our Belgrade meeting on the horizon?

Then, attention turns to the weekend's Premiership fixtures - including the big Celtic vs Rangers clash.

They discuss that, more bad news for St. Mirren, a very downbeat Micky Mellon and even give a mention for the lower league's new season with special guest Robert Jones from Dumbarton.

Is-this-rael life or is it just fantasy?

Is-this-rael life or is it just fantasy?

Scotland stand on the brink of history - yet all is not well in the camp.

Are we being too harsh on Steve Clarke's men? Or are they lucky that they're able to take some penalties well?

Hamish, Matt and KC go big on the national team - and ponder how we can beat Serbia next month.

Hope you enjoy!

Our Saddest Pod Ever

Our Saddest Pod Ever

We're back, reluctantly, to look over Scotland's two recent matches in the Nations League.

Despite taking four points from six, and winning away to the Czech Republic, things are far from rosey with the national team. So what have we learned? And where do we go from here?

There's also a discussion on (a few) fans getting back to games this weekend + a full Saturday 3pm fixture card preview.

Hope you enjoy! We didn't.

The guys discuss that as well as PPV scandal, the end of the summer's longest saga, Sky's new line-up and, most importantly, how to get blocked by John Hartson on Twitter.

Hope you enjoy!
