It turns out the answer is yes, thanks to Steven Mill.

Five Fast Questions with Steven Mill

We asked Steven Mill, the host of The Big Scottish Football Podcast, five questions and challenged him to answer each in one minute or less. Here are the questions:

Hypothetical: you move to Canada and you have to become a superfan of one major sport, do you pick baseball, hockey, American football or basketball?
Please pick a team for me. This will be the team I support from now on. Why’d you pick that team?
Where is the best place in Scotland to watch a football match?
In Canada, you might grab a beer and nachos for a snack at a hockey game. A hot dog is the clear favourite in baseball. What’s your go-to food and drink when attending a football match?
What would you prefer: to be a fan of a football team that never wins or to be a player on your team’s rival club and win a bunch?
