The Go Radio Football Show: 7th of January, 2026. This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show.  Don't miss it – PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! In this episode of The Go Radio Football Show, Paul Cooney is joined by Celtic Hero Andy Walker and Rangers Legend Barry Ferguson. The panel unpack a chaotic Celtic managerial saga, Rangers' resurgence under Danny Röhl, Hearts' title credentials, and the shifting landscape across the Scottish Premiership.  Celtic Chaos & Martin O'Neill's Return The panel reacts to Celtic's turbulent 33‑day experiment with Wilfried Nancy. Why Martin O'Neill's return feels both necessary and overdue. The squad's glaring recruitment failures—no striker, no winger, no centre‑half—and how that's shaping the title race. Rangers' Revival Under Danny Röhl Rangers climb from 13 points behind to within touching distance of the top. Set‑piece transformation: how Röhl and his staff turned corners into weapons. Which positions Rangers must strengthen in January (left‑sided defender, left‑back, midfielder, striker). Are Hearts the Real Title Favourites? Andy Walker makes the bold claim: Hearts are favourites right now. Derek McInnes' impact and why consistency—not budget—is driving their rise. What Hearts need in the window to stay in the fight. Aberdeen's Technical Director Drama Why the panel was baffled by the Aberdeen technical director sitting on the bench. The growing tension between managers and sporting directors across Scotland. Kilmarnock Shake‑Up Neil McCann and Billy Dodds take charge—can they keep Killie up? Why their first match is already a season‑defining moment. Scotland's World Cup Year Early excitement as the national team prepares for its first World Cup in 28 years. Who's pushing for a place in Steve Clarke's squad.
