With the international break over, the latest Scottish Football Podcast asks which clubs are best placed to seize the initiative in the Premiership. Host Andy Burke is joined by Ryan Flynn and Alison McConnell to assess the state of the league.
The discussion opens with Celtic, where Martin O’Neill faces the task of steadying the club amid supporter unrest, mounting pressure and a demanding European schedule. Attention then turns to Rangers, who will benefit from having no continental distractions as Derek McInnes attempts to build a title challenge.
The panel also reviews Dundee’s injury problems, the new era at Hibs, and Aberdeen’s improving form. Motherwell’s difficult run is examined, along with whether Saints can stay in the top six and whether Falkirk and Kilmarnock have cause for concern.
The episode closes with a look ahead to Scotland’s women, who face Czechia in a test that could bring them closer to the Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
