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.
