When Scotland's men last played at a World Cup finals, ICT had just completed their first-ever season in Scotland's third tier. Twenty-seven years later, both sides are on the up again. At the end of a week where Scotland's men grasped the thistle to take their place among football's elite once more, and the Caley Jags recorded their biggest league win of the season, the TWS team reconvened to record the much-delayed November podcast. Join Moff, Sandy, Stevie, AY and first-time panellist James Fraser as they review and celebrate the recent results and, along with three superb exclusive interviews, offer up the usual 31 years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let's shuffle! 00:00:58 – World Cup-themed welcome. Moff introduces the panel and we look back at Scotland's momentous victory against Denmark from an Inverness perspective. 00:10:06 – Kings in the North vanquish Queen of the South. An in-depth review of Saturday's demolition of the doonhamers. We focus on Adam Mackinnon's influence; tweaks to the formation; Chanka Zimba's emergence as first-choice striker; Scott Kellacher's view of the game; the underwhelming form of Queen of the South; and whether Kell's ICT have now truly clicked as a team. 00:35:15 The KDM Trophy. The tournament that almost everyone dismissed as a waste of energy has proved to be surprisingly entertaining. As ICT enter the knockout stages after six straight league-phase wins, we discuss how far the club might go and the benefits it could have for our players. 00:42:30 – Where are they now? - Keith Bray. No player lit up the post-Ferguson ICT team more than Keith Bray, whose dazzling form won him a January move to Dunfermline Athletic. Keith spoke to Stevie about growing up in Stornoway, coming through the ranks at Caley Thistle, breaking into the first team and why his move to Fife was dependent on coming back to Inverness on loan. 01:10:32 – Funny things that happen over the bridge. As it's looking increasingly likely that ICT will be playing Ross County at least four times next season, we pay a rare visit to our near-neighbours and search in vain for a coherent footballing philosophy. 01:17:34 – What yi sayeen? – Charlie Christie. At the end of a big week for his family, Mr Inverness took the time to talk to Stevie about working with Scott Kellacher to build a winning squad, how Alan Savage's vision for ICT is taking shape, and what Scotland and Ryan qualifying for the World Cup means to him. 01:55:42 Scottish Cup third round special, with Brian Johnston. No, not the AC/DC frontman… Saturday 29th November brings another first for Caley Thistle as the team takes on Lowland League side Tranent in the Scottish Cup. With 400 ICT supporters set to descend upon East Lothian for the occasion, Moff went along to the Belters' game against Caledonian Braves to interview chairman Brian Johnston, scope out the opposition and find out everything you need to know about Forester's Park and the surrounding pubs. 02:25:19 – League (and Cup) Lookahead. A very quick preview of the upcoming games against Alloa, Tranent, East Fife and Dumbarton. There's it!

Dundee United has been at the heart of a journey which has taken him from Broughty Ferry to Brink's-Mat and an award-winning television career. Award-winning screenwriter Neil Forsyth joined Courier journalist Graeme Strachan for a special episode of Twa Teams, One Street to chat all things Dundee United. The life long Arab – the man behind Bob Servant, Guilt and The Gold – shares his memories of watching the Tangerines, his favourite games, a run-in with Jim McLean and reveals the Tangerine trend which runs through his TV work. Neil, who grew up in Broughty Ferry, recalls watching iconic matches like the 1987 Uefa Cup victory over Barcelona and the 1994 Scottish Cup win against Rangers.

As we digest the first quarter of the season, Caley Thistle's 100% away league record lies in a shallow grave in Cumbernauld. Why is North Lanarkshire where ICT's dreams go to die? Why does no-one ever choose a pie for their last meal on earth? Why does The Climb make tough guys cry? And why should you never accept a ride in a boat from two foam-rubber Loch Ness Monsters? In our latest pod, Godfather Andrew Moffat and capos Sandy Sutherland, Stevie Riley and Andrew Young get stuck into all these questions and serve up the usual 31 years of ICT references, wild conjecture and mild distraction. Let's shuffle! 00:00:56 – Introduction and Hamilton Postmortem. Moff introduces the panel and we analyse Saturday's disappointing defeat in Cumbernauld and how the team might respond to it. 00:22:40 – First Quarter Report Card. We are 25% of the way through league season 2025-26, so it seems like a good time to look back and evaluate how ICT are doing so far. Who is top of the class? Who could do better? And who wins the prize for perfect attendance? 00:36:58 – Game by Game. The panel looks back at our recent league wins against East Fife and Queen of the South, a demolition of Dundee B in the KDM Evolution Challenge Cup Trophy, and considers whether new mascots Nessie and Nessa would be more at home in New Jersey. 00:48:09 – What yi sayeen? Remi Savage. Duncan Ferguson didn't do much right at ICT, but he did bequeath us Remi Savage, one of our standout players since signing in January 2024. Remi spoke to Stevie about coming through at Liverpool and Newcastle, moving to Inverness, surviving administration, and his very positive feelings about the ICT squad and manager. 01:20:30 – The Club. Stevie gets emotional over Kell's love of The Climb; we discuss Alan Savage's plans for the future of the club as he takes full control of ICT; and we look forward to good times later this week, as Moff hosts the ICT Supporters' Trust's Scottish Cup 10th Anniversary night. 01:31:48 – What yi sayeen? David Proctor. An important contributor to two successful promotion campaigns and with more than 100 top-flight appearances for ICT under his belt, David Proctor is something of an unsung hero in Inverness. Now in his third spell with the club, having exchanged his boots for the physio's table, David tells Stevie about life after leaving Caley Thistle, why he has returned, and how being a former player has helped him in his new career. 02:02:47 – League Lookahead. A very quick skip through the upcoming games against Forfar in the Challenge Cup and Kelty Hearts and Peterhead in the league. There's it! Whaddayagottado?

The violence, the sectarianism, the proxy war linked to The Troubles in Northern Ireland and what it means to be Scottish — all of it is tied up in the Old Firm, Celtic vs Rangers, Glasgow's white-hot derby. 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.
