The Scottish Football Show

As yet another top flight manager loses his job, the team ask if the panic button is being pushed too hastily these days.
BT Sport’s Andrew Slaven is joined by West Ham video producer Laura Brannan and football editor Findlay Marks for yet another week of the biggest, the best and the downright ugliest stories across Scottish football.
Eight Premiership managers have been sacked so far this season, with Callum Davidson the latest to depart St Johnstone. But is it justified?
Meanwhile, Dunfermline manager James McPake joins the team to reflect on not only winning the League One title but also how he’s grown as a manager a year on from being hastily let go himself, from Dundee.
Who actually wants to host Euro 2028? The SFA unfortunately. They seem happy with Hampden being the only Scottish stadium as the UK and Ireland "dangerously join forces" with a bid to host the tournament.
And is it socially acceptable to listen to the football on the radio when you’re at a wedding? We're asking all the important questions this week.
RUNNING ORDER
00:42 - PART 1 - News & Funnies: Jurgen Klinsmann in Kilmarnock, hating on the Team GB Euro 2028 bid, and listening to 'Open All Mics' at a wedding.
15:58 - PART 2 - Sacking Managers: As Callum Davidson became the eighth manager to lose his job in the top flight this season, we ponder if managers are getting enough time in the job these days.
26:52 - PART 3 - SPFL Round-up: Dundee United are coming in to form at just the right time, Stirling Albion are tantalisingly close to League Two glory, and does anyone actually want to win the Championship?
33:38 - PART 4 - James McPake: In a hugely candid interview, Dunfermline boss James McPake chats to us about his side's title win, the ignominy of getting the sack, and why he's loving life in Fife.

Aberdeen and Celtic will meet in the Scottish Cup Final in the season finale showdown, but if Dave Cormack is to be believed, that's a hell of a journey for the Dons support...

It's all happening in the lower leagues with Livingston closing the gap on Falkirk - are the Bairns bottling it? And Peterhead host East Fife this weekend in the top of the table showdown in League Two.

Hamilton Accies have been relegated from the Championship in a dramatic turn of events last week, as they were docked 15 points.

Meanwhile, in Italy, Scott McTominay's winner combined with Bologna beating Inter Milan in the 94th minute, means our Scottish duo in Naples are now equal on points at the top of Serie A. With their head to head locked at two 1-1 draws, it means the sides could end up competing to win the league in a play off. Should we also scrap goal difference over here?!

And the PFA Players' Team of the Year is out and it's as boringly predictable as every other year.

Join Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks for the latest weird and wonderful Scottish football news.

Not one but two Scottish sides were crowned Champions this weekend, but Rangers denied Celtic the chance to be the third in what is becoming typical Bazza Comeback fashion.
While Arbroath and Brora Rangers sealed their respective titles, St Mirren snatched the final top six spot on Split Day, denying Motherwell and Hearts.
League reconstruction is still hot on everyone's lips, would you have a 10, 12, 14 or 16 team league?
And Rangers go to Bilbao next for the quarter final second leg of the Europa League, can they pull off a shock against the favourites?

Philippe Clement's time at Rangers comes to an end... far later than we all expected.

And so has Kris Doolan's at Partick Thistle too. But also in the world of managerial movements, Motherwell welcome Michael Wimmer. And David Gray is essentially a new man at Hibs too these days?!

Jose Mourinho is coming to Ibrox too... but unlikely in that context. Probably just with Fenerbahce in the Europa League.
