All-round captain

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? RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: People on the move and the Scotland squad (01m 00s) • PART 2: Dundee promoted, Kilmarnock relegated (07m 00s) • PART 3: St Johnstone do the cup double, with Ed Hodge (20m 00s) • PART 4: Kelty up, Brechin down with Euan Booth Robertson (34m 00s) • PART 5: The odds with Paddy Power (41m 00s) • PART 6: Our Premiership teams of the season (42m 00s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC FOR £4 A MONTH: • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow PARISH NOTICES: • we’re sponsored by Paddy Power - home of the Money Back Special READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

Hype train

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? RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Rangers are invincible (03m 00s) • PART 2: Ross County stay up, Hamilton go down (16m 00s) • PART 3a: Paul Hanlon joins us to preview the Scottish Cup final (27m 00s) • PART 3b: St Johnstone confirm 5th place (41m 00s) • PART 4: The odds with Paddy Power (50m 00s) • PART 5a: Scotland’s Euro 2020 squad (51m 00s) • PART 5b: The end of the Fantasy Football season (59m 00s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC FOR £4 A MONTH: • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow PARISH NOTICES: • we’re sponsored by Paddy Power - home of the Money Back Special READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

Footballingly

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.

It’s not promo material

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? RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Gilmour, Dobbie and the death of football (01m 30s) • PART 2: Rangers 4-1 Celtic (09m 30s) • PART 3a: St Mirren 1-2 Hamilton (20m 00s) • PART 3b: Dundee United 0-2 Ross County (25m 30s) • PART 3c: Motherwell 2-0 Kilmarnock (31m 30s) • PART 4a: Livingston 1-2 Aberdeen (39m 30s) • PART 4b: Hibs 0-1 St Johnstone (44m 00s) • PART 5: The odds with Paddy Power (48m 30s) • PART 6: Partick Thistle’s promotion with Matt Greer (50m 00s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC FOR £4 A MONTH: • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow PARISH NOTICES: • we’re sponsored by Paddy Power - home of the Money Back Special READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

Controlled on a D-Pad

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. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Good news for JJ and Laura (01m 00s) • PART 2: St Johnstone knock out Rangers (05m 00s) • PART 3a: Micky Mellon on Dundee United’s win at Aberdeen (18m 00s) • PART 3b: Hibs knock out Motherwell on penalties (33m 30s) • PART 3c: St Mirren knock out Killie on penalties (39m 30s) • PART 4: The odds with Paddy Power (45m 30s) • PART 5: Euan Booth Robertson on Brechin and the pyramid play-off (47m 00s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC FOR £4 A MONTH: • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow PARISH NOTICES: • we’re sponsored by Paddy Power - home of the Money Back Special READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

The wee girl in The Ring

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan discuss the real European elite, namely the last 16 of the Scottish Cup. Rangers prove that on their day, they’re better than Celtic, inspired by one of the players of the season in Steven Davis. Stephen Glass’s first game in charge of Aberdeen sees a change of style, centre-backs beyond the halfway line and a victory on penalties. Will Aberdeen soon be playing Cove Rangers in the nice derby? We check in on Cove as they aim for a 3rd straight promotion. Plus PPV, the Scumbag League and finding a new Jack. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Super League, PPV and Scottish injuries (01m 00s) • PART 2: Rangers 2-0 Celtic (11m 30s) • PART 3a: A winning start for Glass (24m 00s) • PART 3b: Motherwell through on penalties (31m 30s) • PART 3c: Stranraer 0-4 Hibs (35m 00s) • PART 3d: The rest of the Scottish Cup weekend (37m 00s) • PART 4: The odds with Paddy Power (43m 00s) • PART 5a: Cove Rangers’ promotion hopes with Jamie Durent (45m 00s) • PART 5b: Midweek Premiership highlights (55m 30s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC FOR £4 A MONTH: • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow PARISH NOTICES: • we’re sponsored by Paddy Power - home of the Money Back Special READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

Suit on a bin

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan talk the first matchday post-split, as the relegation battle heats up. Hearts are promoted from the Championship to the Premiership. But could Hamilton be going the other way? We take a deep dive into what’s gone wrong this season in South Lanarkshire. Meanwhile Rangers chase down an unbeaten league season and the best defensive record in British football history. Motherwell take a huge step towards safety, as Laura tells us about the trials and tribulations of a club worrying about relegation. Plus the Stephen Glass robot. And Andrew’s 5-a-side stormer. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Scotland fans at the Euros (01m 00s) • PART 2a: Hamilton 0-1 Dundee United with Ben Paterson from Only Accies (05m 00s) • PART 2b: Kilmarnock 2-2 Ross County (17m 40s) • PART 3a: Celtic 6-0 Livingston (23m 00s) • PART 3b: Rangers 2-1 Hibs (29m 30s) • PART 3c: Motherwell 1-0 St Mirren (33m 30s) • PART 3d: St Johnstone 0-1 Aberdeen (38m 30s) • PART 4: The odds with Paddy Power (42m 00s) • PART 5: Hearts promoted with Amoruso Lets It Run (43m 30s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC FOR £4 A MONTH: • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow PARISH NOTICES: • we’re sponsored by Paddy Power - home of the Money Back Special READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.

Heedless buddy

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. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Scotland beat the Faroes (01m 30s) • PART 2: Eddie Howe to Celtic?

Love this podcast, I really enjoy listening to a Scottish football podcast that goes through each team and game instead of just rangers and Celtic !(coming from an American Rangers supporter)
