Charlie is joined for the second episode this week by three of the lads from one of his favourite bands about just now — The Rants. Logan and Shay jump on for a chat about how they came together, where the name came from, and the influences that have shaped their sound.We dive into their debut EP Ode To a Broken Soul, the stories behind them, and which songs they love playing most live. We also talk about their favourite gigs so far, highlights from a massive year, and their big slot at Tenement Trail next month alongside the likes of Dead Pony, Gallus and Callum Stewart.Of course, it wouldn't be the podcast without some football chat. We cover childhood memories, who they support, Scotland's latest games, which stadium they'd play halftime at, and even compare each band member to a footballer. There's also the all-important question: if The Rants were a five-a-side team, who's scoring goals, who's stuck in nets, and who's definitely getting sent off?We wrap it all up with some quick-fire questions, listener Q's, and a good old rant about the modern game.Plenty of laughs, music, and football chat in this one — make sure to follow The Rants on Instagram and Spotify, and get stuck in.Thanks for listening and make sure to like, subscribe and follow on our social media outlets, as well as joining us on our Discord.Discord - Scottish Football ForumsBluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialTwitter/X - @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastTikTok - @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.scotEmail - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com

John, Krys and guest Alan are on the latest episode as we try to gee ourselves up ahead of the upcoming friendlies.After an intro that could have been gold we start with the goalkeeper situation. Safe to say as always this seems a real area of concern with so few options.Things maybe get slightly more optimistic as we progress further up the pitch.There have been plenty of guys in the squad who have been really successful. Can we find the right combination? Will one or more of the uncapped players take their chance?We finish off by discussing what we'd like to take in terms of positives from these games.Next week we will return with a chat about our experiences at Euro 2024 as it approaches a year since the tournament started.Thanks as always for listening!Bluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialTwitter/X - @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastTikTok - @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.scotEmail - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com

It's a podcast of two halves in this month's focus on all things women's football.We start off with Dave being joined by Charlie and Casey, before switching to Dave's chat with Eva Murray (which you may notice was recorded first!)Obviously the main focus is on the league success for Hibernian. There were of course other runners in the race, some more than others, and particularly the disappointment of outgoing champions Celtic finishing in fourth.Although Rangers missed out on the title on the final day, they did finish the season with a cup double, culminating in their Scottish Cup final victory on Sunday. That meant Glasgow City are once again trophyless, albeit they will have Champions League qualifying next season for finishing runners up in the league.At the other end of the table, it was Spartans who joined Queen's Park and Dundee United in being relegated to SWPL2 with Montrose confirming their top flight status on the final day as results went their way.Finally there's everyone's pick for team of the season, as well as a look ahead to the final two Nations League matches and a fond farewell to our retiring captain, Rachel Corsie.Thanks as always for listening!Bluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialTwitter/X - @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastTikTok - @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.scotEmail - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com

It's six days until Celtic and Aberdeen meet in the Scottish Cup Final, and John B speaks to a former player from each side to take a trip down memory lane by recalling their respective past glories as well as looking ahead to this years showpiece.First up is Aberdeen's Brian Irvine looking back at The Dons last Scottish Cup success in 1990. Brian talks about the run to Hampden and how Alex Smith told him in advance of the Final that he'd retain his place ahead of the returning Willie Miller. Brian would then fulfil a boyhood dream by winning the Cup after a marathon penalty shootout victory, with his spot kick sealing a 9-8 success.Next up is Celtic cult hero Peter Grant. Having missed wins in '85 and '88 through injury, it would be third time lucky for Peter by picking up a winner's medal in 1989 thanks to a 1-0 win over Rangers. However, he talks more in depth about the 1995 Final against Airdrie where he overcame a late injury scare to put in a man of the match performance as the Hoops secured their first trophy in six years (yes young Celtic fans, that really did happen). Having been through those dark times, Peter is quick to remind Celtic fans to enjoy the current success whilst it's here.Copyright - audio from the 1990 and 1995 Scottish Cup Finals are courtesy of the Scottish FA, STV and BBC Scotland.Thanks as always for listening!Tweet us @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.scotBluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialEmail - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com

Five years since league reconstruction was last briefly discussed by the SPFL, and promptly batted away into the night sky, Improving Scottish Football Podcast host Kieran Hennigan revisited the topic with a one minute video promoting a 14 team Premiership idea. The video went viral with over 800,000 views on Twitter/X alone.John B invited Kieran onto discuss the pros and cons of a 14 team Scottish Premiership and why he thinks this is the way forward, and not just in the top flight either. There is a good honest discussion about the effects of a promotion/relegation structure, how the 14 team structure works in Greece, would a more even split work better than a top six/bottom eight and also how the setup would improve youth development. Kieran also discusses his plans to evolve his podcast that he hopes one day will see those at the top embrace change, with league reconstruction just one of many areas in Scottish Football that needs addressing.Thanks as always for listening!Tweet us @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.scotBluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialEmail - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com

Following two defeats for SWNT in the Women's Nations League, Dave is joined by John Bl to pick over how the games against Austria and Netherlands went for Scotland.With Emma Lawton coming in and getting the opening goal of against the Dutch, they consider if she's now a mainstay, as well as wondering if Michael McArdle will still be the interim coach when the next set of fixtures come around in April. Longer term, there's questions as to where the next manager will come from and if that might be further afield than Scotland once more.Of course, after two defeats, there's questions around the possible defensive frailties that led to the goals, especially in two narrow defeats in what could be a tight Nations League group.Looking forward, the SWPL moves into its post-split phase and with four teams level on 51 points it's an exciting final ten games ahead in terms of the title!Thanks as always for listening!Tweet us @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.scotBluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialEmail - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com

Dave is joined by regular guest Eva Murray for the latest look across the women's game in Scotland. First up is a look at SWPL1 and how the title race is hotting up with just two points separating the top four and six points separating the top five. Further down the table, the race for the top six continues, as well as a resurgent Aberdeen who are probably just a bit too late to be joining that battle. With Motherwell four points clear of Partick Thistle and the split just three games away, is it theirs to lose? The weekend saw Scottish Cup action, with Glasgow City edging out Celtic in the tie of the round. There's a look back at that, the other games that took place, and the draw for the fifth round. Finally on the international front, Michael McArdle will be in charge for the two fixtures in February, including the Netherlands visit to Hampden. Whilst there's also a look further forward to the double header against Germany, with the home game taking place in Dundee. Thanks as always for listening!

In the first women's football podcast of the new year, Dave is joined by returning guests Casey and Grant to discuss what's been happening in the SWPL lately. With Glasgow City currently in the driving seat at the top of the league, they discuss what that might mean for the title challenge. Has the Rangers title challenge faltered due to a lack in midfield? Will Celtic, free from the distraction of Europe, have a stronger second half to the season? Will Hearts and Hibernian continue to keep it interesting at the top and make it a five team title race? Further down the league table there's a lot to discuss as well from who'll make the top six to who the relegation candidates are, particularly that third from bottom spot which is currently only separated by goal difference between Montrose and Aberdeen. They also discuss who the stand out players have been so far this season, what the BBC Scotland TV deal might mean for the SWPL, and have a preview of the weekend's action - assuming the weather permits it! Turning briefly to the national team, they are of course currently managerless with the departure of Pedro Martinez Losa. Hopefully there'll be someone in place ahead of the upcoming Nations League campaign which starts towards the end of February. Thanks as always for listening!

We kick off by analysing parts of the League Cup final and the approach that Rangers took that made them give Celtic a run for their money. During a chat about Celtic and Rangers signing players from within Scotland and the potential benefits, we go off on a slight tangent and talk about player destinations for young talent. One that we definitely need to explore further as always leads to plenty of interesting points. The Scales and Cerny incident is discussed with there being confusion as to why VAR hasn't got involved. The general feeling from us that we're almost better off without VAR.

Over on the green side we have debutants Reegan and Stevo. John hosts and Charlie plays the enforcer role. We start off by discovering the impact that Hagi has made in recent games and what has been going better for Rangers. Other players to have made an impact recently ars Igamane and Danilo so their contributions are examined. There are questions relating to Engels and whether he is likely to start the final or whether others have played their way in to the team.  The tactical battle is discussed and whether Rangers might try something different to get the edge and get the win. We check who they would be more fearful of facing out of Kyogo and Idah. To finish off there are some predictions on the outcome.

The Dundee United v St Mirren game kicks off our Premiership chat as we reflect on some controversial discussions in the game. Charlie reflects on what has been a positive week for Hibs and gives us an idea of what has changed.  It was a nice week for Rangers in Europe but they contributed to struggle domestically despite winning.

It's a podcast of two halves ahead of Scotland's crucial Euro 2025 qualifying playoff final tie against Finland and a huge chance to make a return to a major tournament. In the first half, Dave is joined by Casey Atkin. They reflect on just how big this tie is for SWNT as a whole but also Pedro Martinez Losa, particularly with an emphasis on the importance of the home leg first at Easter Road on Friday. They give their team predictions, and have a bit of fun with a cap quiz too. In the second half, John is joined by SWNT royalty. The all time top goalscorer with a staggering 116 goals in 121 appearances, Julie Fleeting. They look back over how the campaign has gone so far, through the Nations League B campaign and the semi final against Hungary, even picking up the results with the influence of captain Rachel Corsie. They look at the gradual progression the team have been making, and how that along with the return of Chelsea Cornet might just help us take some revenge against a Finland side who have been a problem for us in the past. Good luck to Scotland in this tie, and hopefully it's onwards to Switzerland next year!
