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. There is discussion around how good the performance was and the impact in particular made by the subs that Clarke made. 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? The guys give their predictions. Following on from this we then pick a combined Scotland/Spain team from the starting lineups on Saturday.

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

It's been another fascinating month in the SWPL as regular trio John, Vinny and Dave look back at the last few weeks in the top two divisions in the Women's game. January definitely belonged to Glasgow City in the title race as their main rivals Celtic and Rangers drooped two points apiece in their respective goalless draws with Motherwell and Hearts. Two wins and a credible draw away to the champions helped interim-Head Coach Leanne Ross stake a claim for the job on a permanent basis. With four points separating the three sides, and with Celtic hosting both City and Rangers before the split, it's sure to be an intriguing title race. Hearts impressive season under Eva Olid continues and she has added Gavin Beith to her backroom team. Gavin kindly took time to talk to Dave about joining the club after stints at Aberdeen and Dundee United, and what he's expecting from the role as second first team coach. Their Edinburgh rivals Hibs had another erratic month but still have done enough to all but assure top six

In our latest episode, regulars John, Erin and Jeff are joined by Hibs fan Charlie. He returns to the podcast after being on a couple of our Premiership specials. We kick off by chatting about Hibs weekend over Aberdeen at the weekend which resulted in Jim Goodwin being relieved of his managerial duties at Aberdeen. Does the victory give Lee Johnson more time for Hibs fans to change their mind about whether he should stay? There is some chat around the transfer window closing but it looks like there won't be much more business done in the Premiership. Charlie discusses some of his favourite memories supporting Hibs, answers some quickfire questions and gives us his all time Hibs eleven.

Regulars John, Josh, Krys, and Scott J are joined by special guest Robbie Hanratty. There is no surprise that much of the focus is on what happened at Recreation Park where Darvel produced the biggest upset in Scottish Cup history. We discuss where Aberdeen go from here as it is expected that Goodwin will be sacked and that problems run deeper than just the management. Credit to Darvel on their win and thanks to John Walker, video analyst at the club for speaking to John B about the occasion. On the back of this we discuss the Pyramid system and agree that there needs to be more movement to allow teams to progress. The transfer window closes next week so there is some chat surrounding that and criticism of VAR.
