    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…

    40 Years On With Maurice Malpas: When Roma Cheated Dundee Utd Out Of European Glory

    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.

    The Tannadice side could have got to the final of the European Cup if it wasn't for a hugely controversial referee bribery taking place in their semi final second leg away to Roma. 

    In the story that could have been, United legend Maurice Malpas joins us for a look back on an incredible era in the club's history.

    ‘Stotland’ Players Are Falling Apart

    We may not get an Old Firm title decider in the league but Celtic and Rangers will go head to head in the Scottish Cup final for the first time in 22 years. 

    Laura Brannan and John Blaesdale join host Andrew Slaven for a look back on an incredible semi final between Aberdeen and Celtic and a not-so-dramatic clash between Rangers and Hearts.

    The Scotland players are being hit by injuries just a month before the Euros squad is announced, we just can't bear to watch the end of the season anymore.

    And Dundee United have all but wrapped up the Championship title. But as well as that, we look back to 40 years ago when they almost won the European Cup. 

    Maurice Malpas joins us to reflect on a wonderful era at Tannadice and a not-so-wonderful semi final tie with Roma that ended in controversy.

    See You Jimmy

    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.
