The Totally Scottish Football Show The Athletic

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan are back for the final foray into Scottish football this season. 

Dundee are promoted to the Premiership after relegating Kilmarnock in the play-off, with some garbage football on display. What next for Killie, with an entire squad possibly leaving this summer?

Happier times for St Johnstone after they complete their cup double. The greatest achievement in Scottish football history?

There’s a multitude of managers on the move – we’re worried about Micky Mellon’s horse. And Barry Ferguson leaves Kelty Hearts after earning them their first ever promotion to the SPFL.

And Andrew, JJ and Laura pick their Premiership teams of the season. One representative allowed from all 12 clubs. What could possibly go wrong?

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan are back to review one of the best weekends Scottish football has produced this season.

The Scottish Cup quarter-finals provided three penalty shootouts and a shock at Ibrox. Zander Clark writes his name into pub quiz questions forever, as part of the greatest St Johnstone team ever?

Dundee United manager Micky Mellon joins us to discuss their 3-0 hammering of Aberdeen, which we’re calling the best Dundee United performance in years.

St Mirren make it through to the last 4 after a six-goal thriller at Kilmarnock with some questionable goalkeeping and officiating.

And Euan Booth Robertson tells us about Brechin’s big idea, which would spare them relegation from League Two.

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan react to Scottish Cup semi-final weekend on the Totally Scottish Football Show.

It will be Hibs versus St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup final. If Hibs have better players, are St Johnstone better coached and do they have all the momentum right now? And will the final be at Pittodrie?

It’s been a great week at Easter Road with Josh Doig awarded Young Player of the Year in Scotland. JJ gives us the breakdown on yet another promising Scottish left-back.

Raith Rovers midfielder Ross Matthews joins us ahead of their Championship play-off with Dundee as they aim for back-to-back promotions.

Plus eating cereal out of trophies, space cadets and Mahrez’s magic train.

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan take in a jam-packed Scottish Cup weekend full of goals and green screen glitches.

Celtic look set to appoint Eddie Howe as their new manager. The Athletic’s Peter Rutzler tells us about Howe’s last year at Bournemouth and whether he has the character to flourish in the Glasgow goldfish bowl.

Aberdeen appoint former model and England striker coach Allan Russell. Will he have any strikers to coach in the summer at Pittodrie?

Hamilton boss Brian Rice boils over regarding refereeing decisions. Plus we show some love to Defoe, Lafferty and Ryan Seacrest.

All aboard with Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan as the regular season in the Premiership draws to a close.

Rangers go the whole season unbeaten, although some of the celebrations have been the cause of controversy. We pay tribute to Rangers’ iron man Connor Goldson.

Hamilton didn’t finish 10th – they are relegated after 7 years in the top flight. But the Staggies stay up, consigning Kilmarnock to a play-off with Dundee.

Hibs defender Paul Hanlon joins us on the pod as he prepares for his 4th Scottish Cup final at the club.

Steve Clarke names his Euro 2020 Scotland squad this week. Is it time for Turnbull? Or hipster’s choice Ryan Gauld? Or the forgotten Forrest?

Plus Fantasy Football drama and is Allan Campbell off to England?

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan are back, just as the Premiership is getting really good.

It’s never over with Hamilton. The Accies and the Staggies both win as the bottom 3 are now separated by just 3 points.

Rangers are 2 games away from an unbeaten league season as they hammer Celtic 4-1. What happened to Celtic this season and how big is the rebuild?

We sing the praises of Devante Cole, one of the star performers of 2021. And St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson can afford to play the second string and still win.

Plus which Premiership striker looks like the lead singer of Future Islands? And could Motherwell producer Laura Brannan get shown a yellow card on a matchday?
