23: Hamilton get happy plus the SPFL’s English club

02/05/19 • 53 min

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan took a week off dissecting referee’s decisions last week. Then Andrew Dallas showed up at Ibrox. Four penalties were awarded to Rangers against St Mirren. But how many should they have had? Five? One and a half? Plus we preview the midweek fixtures as Steven Gerrard looks for a win over Aberdeen at the 4th time of asking. Hamilton are feeling happy again after swapping Martin Canning for Brian Rice but Hibs are no closer to a successor for Neil Lennon. We check in at Berwick Rangers, the only English team in the SPFL, as they look to avoid the dreaded drop. Elsewhere Naismith shouts Hearts to victory while it’s a wasted trip for East Fife. We’re dreaming of a Dundee derby in the promotion/relegation play-off. And please join JJ’s Scotch pie appeal • PART 1: Canning canned as Hamilton order Rice.
