Jose Mourinho is Ibrox Bound

02/24/25 • 53 min

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.

Catch up with Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks for the latest new, funny stories, industry insight and crazy goings on from the world of Scottish football.

Philippe Clement’s Valentine

Philippe Clement is clinging onto his job as Rangers manager, despite suffering one of the worst defeats in Scottish Cup history at the weekend.

We talk about how this would be comparable to the world’s worst relationship, just in time for some joyful Valentine’s Day celebrations.

But the cup shock wasn’t all doom and gloom, Queen’s Park fan Enzo, from Spiders Talk Podcast, is peeled off the ceiling to join us for a chat.

Ryan Hardie continued the theme of cup shocks, scoring Plymouth’s winning goal to knock Liverpool out of the FA Cup.

And Scott Arfield returned to Falkirk for a seven-goal thriller and a poignant moment bringing the 37 shirt out of retirement.

Celtic take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week, Steven Fletcher is dancing with Channing Tatum and Scott McTominay is STILL on fire at Napoli.

It’s another week of Scottish football stories, with Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Calum Brown.
