Scottish Football Oscars: Who is POTY?
It’s awards season but it’s far from a night at the Oscars… why is the PFA awards ceremony not the end of season party?

Falkirk are the Invincibles, Philippe Clement takes the bait from Brendan Rodgers and it’s ok folks, Scott McTominay’s knee is not dead, like we first feared.
BEIN Sport’s Calum Brown joins the show to dissect Livingston’s relegation to the Championship and whether Davie Martindale can steer the Lions back to the top flight anytime soon.

An Appointment With A Fish Supper
The integrity of the pyramid play-off system is on the rocks as Buckie Thistle gear up for war with the SPFL and SFA.
The Highland League winners have been denied a play-off spot as they don't have the bronze licence needed to enter the league system, but that's absolutely not the end of the matter.
Former Press & Journal writer Dave Edwards joins Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Anthony Joseph to break down the messy situation.
Meanwhile, Scotland's injury worries get worse with Scott McTominay and Kieran Tierney the latest on the treatment table.
And it's all heating up in League Two, will Stranraer survive or is Clyde going to complete a huge comeback?
Dundee United were also crowned champions at the weekend, but the Raith Rovers twitter account didn't enjoy Airdrie's guard of honour BEFORE it was official.
And where do you stand on comically large adult mascots holding hands with footballers? There’s nothing dull in Scottish Football…

It's all about league title success for Dundee United right now but this time 40 years ago the focus was all on European football.

See You Jimmy
Rangers title tilt was trashed by Ross County who, themselves, ended their hoodoo with their first every victory over the Gers. How much does that affect the top and bottom of the Premiership tables?
Motherwell’s equaliser against Hibernian meant that neither club made the top six - the result instead confirming Dundee position in the top half of the table for the final matches of the season.
And could Aberdeen be about to announce Elfsborg Manager, Jimmy Thelin as their new boss?
Andrew Slaven is joined by commentator & author Andy Bargh and Melbourne City’s Creative Director, Findlay Marks, to discuss all of this and much more.
