POPULARITY
Chosen by Dave, A Shot at Glory is a Scottish football drama directed by Michael Corrente and written by Denis O'Neill, bringing together a surprisingly heavyweight cast for a film about lower-league football, club loyalty, and men shouting at each other in tracksuits. Robert Duvall stars as Gordon McLeod and also served as a producer, with Michael Keaton, Ally McCoist, Brian Cox, Cole Hauser, Kirsty Mitchell, and Morag Hood rounding out a cast that feels like someone put Hollywood, Scottish football, and a pub argument into the same blender. The film was produced around 1999/2000 and received a limited US theatrical release in May 2002, followed by a DVD release later that year.Filming took place across Scotland, with football scenes using real grounds including Boghead Park, Palmerston Park, Rugby Park, and Hampden Park, while much of the fictional town of Kilnockie was shot in Crail, Fife. The movie also has a proper Scottish football texture thanks to appearances from real players and football figures, while the soundtrack was composed by Mark Knopfler, giving the whole thing a Celtic-tinged musical polish rather than just the sound of 8,000 people shouting “man on.” Critics were mixed, the box office was modest, but over time it has become a bit of a cult curiosity for football fans, especially anyone who enjoys seeing Ally McCoist sharing screen space with Robert Duvall and Michael Keaton.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a small Scottish town, where the rain falls sideways and football is less a sport than a legally recognised emotional condition, one struggling club faces the fight of its life.Kilnockie FC has history, pride, and a fanbase clinging to hope like it's the last pie at half-time. But when an American owner threatens to rip the club from its roots, only one thing can save them: victory, belief, and a team held together by grit, grudges, and questionable decision-making.Fun factsThe film's working title was reportedly The Cup, which is accurate, but does sound like a placeholder left on someone's laptop until five minutes before the poster was printed.Ally McCoist plays Jackie McQuillan, a fictional footballer, despite McCoist himself being one of Scottish football's most recognisable real-life strikers.Brian Cox appears as Martin Smith, the Rangers manager, years before a whole new generation would know him as Logan Roy in Succession.Cole Hauser, later famous as Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, plays Kelsey O'Brian, a backup goalkeeper, despite reports noting he had no real football background.Several real footballers appear in the movie, including Owen Coyle, Andy Smith, Peter Hetherston, and Didier Agathe.Robert Duvall reportedly spent time observing Raith Rovers to help shape his performance as a Scottish football manager.The fictional Kilnockie FC was loosely inspired by the kind of improbable cup exploits associated with smaller Scottish clubs, including Airdrieonians' runs in the 1990s.Mark Knopfler's soundtrack album contains 11 tracks and was released in 2002, with Guy Fletcher also involved as producer.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

The bhoys are in fine form once again after celebrating Celtic's Scottish Cup win on Saturday at Hampden Park.A 3-1 win for the Hoops was enough to secure a League and Cup double for Celtic. The bhoys are in no doubt that Martin O'Neill is the reason why Celtic were able to turn the season around after so many lows the season finished on such a high. The Summer rebuild is up for discussion both on and off the park. Who will be the Celtic manager, what players will go and who will stay? Will the Celtic's CEO leave? So many questions to be answered over the short summer break before we head off following the bhoys in pre-season. The media meltdown in Scotland continues as Shankland jumps ship from Hearts to join the rangers. Celtic have ruined so many peoples summer because they were Simply the Best in the end and there was Sunshine on Leith once again.For the week that is in it the bhoys look back at the Legacy left behind by the Lisbon Lions and some of the unsung heroes of 1967.

A tale of two narratives in this week's Between the Sticks. One is relatively non-existent in the case of Bernd Leno, and that's simply because the German is going about his business in West London - just like he has done in the 126 consecutive appearances made for the club since he signed in the summer of 2022. The other surrounds Tottenham stopper, Guglielmo Vicario. Despite an xGA of 2.3, it seems fans and pundits alike are losing patience with the Italian, who conceded three at the hands of Nottingham Forest at the weekend. Fair judgement? We discuss. In the EFL, Carl Rushworth is making waves on what is his sixth loan away from Brighton (a club he's still yet to make a competitive outing for) and Sol Brynn's sounds the Goalkeeper Assist klaxon for his part in Middlesbrough's comfortable 3-1 victory over QPR. Finally, a shout out to Shamal George for grabbing a Scottish League Cup Winners medal after St Mirren - a club he's on loan to from Wycombe - defied the odds to beat Celtic at Hampden Park.
Andrew MacLean, Hugh Keevins and Scott Allan bring live coverage and reaction to the Scottish League Cup Final between St Mirren and Celtic at Hampden Park.

A great cup final as St Mirren come out on top with a 3-1 over Celtic at Hampden, winning their first Scottish League Cup since they beat Hearts in the 2012/13 League Cup final.Can Wilfred Nancy looses his first three games as Celtic manager and lost out on getting his first trophy as Celtic manager. Stephen Robinson's Saints cause a major upset as they looked to make it an easy win over Celtic. St Mirren fan Lewis says, "Stephen Robinson has wrote his name into the St Mirren's history books. Brendan a St Mirren fan says that Celtic could not lace their boots and that they DESTROYED a multimillion pound club.Celtic fan Alec says the Pep Guardiola could not manage that Celtic team. Archie says it is more than just Wilfried Nancy that need to leave Celtic.
Celtic face St. Mirren in the League Cup Final at Hampden Park tomorrow. The game presents an early opportunity for Wilfried Nancy to bag a trophy as the Celtic manager and calm some of the talk around the start to his tenure. The Hoops will be looking to bounce back from the successive defeats to Hearts & Roma, but St. Mirren will provide stiff opposition as they always do - looking to grasp a rare silverware opportunity for themselves.

A particularly ugly Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park even saw alcohol banned from Scottish football stadiums.But what about the commercial side?Because from the beginning, all concerned have recognized the financial opportunity generated by Scotland's greatest rivalry. “The Old Firm” name may well come from a cartoon that satirized the whole thing as a joint business enterprise, and fans have rebelled against the two clubs and the authorities for reasons financial. Some local companies, like Tennent's brewers, have even chosen to sponsor both Celtic and Rangers simultaneously — because to choose just one could mean financial ruin. After all, both sides are more than happy to stage a boycott.The 447th Old Firm derby was played Sunday, as early as possible to (theoretically) keep the number of pints consumed beforehand to a minimum. Rangers have won 171 of those meetings, Celtic 170. Last year, ahead of the first Old Firm of 2024/25, Chris McLaughlin of the BBC Scotland joined the show to run through the rich and tempestuous history of this very particular derby match.Get more on this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAGSb8lq12g&pp=2AYB Hosted on Acast.

It's the battle of Glasgow, one of the most combustible matches in world football. CELTIC vs RANGERS is a fixture like no other, a vehicle for ancient blood feuds and sectarian strife. In the beginning of the 20th century, these two sets of fans marked the final whistle of a cup final by attempting to burn down Scotland's famed Hampden Park. After the 1980 final, supporters from both sides rioted on the pitch, fighting hand-to-hand and flinging bottles and more at each other until mounted police charged in to rescue control of the situation. This is a match that carries questions of what it means to be Scottish, baggage tied up in The Troubles of Northern Ireland and the quest for Scottish independence from Great Britain. And it's also, partly, about football.Joining us to trace this history and preview this Sunday's match is Chris McLaughlin, Sports News Correspondent at BBC Scotland and a man of Glasgow. He also covered the Scottish national team at EURO 2024 and offered some insight into a raucous atmosphere and an ultimately disappointing campaign.If you're enjoying The Football Weekend, please give us a rating and leave a review! It will help spread the word to more fans who might like a big match preview to start their Fridays. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
