Bye Bye Bealeball

There were a few ‘mares over the weekend.

Aberdeen’s 3-1 win at Ibrox proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Michael Beale who will now be replaced by Steven Davis in the dugout.

The host broadcaster chose not to televise any game… which is a shame considering there were a couple of classics in there.

And the SPFL’s League Cup semi final ticket allocation is controversially denying Hearts a 50/50 split of Hampden.

But in more positive news, we’re joined by commentary royalty as Derek Rae and Rory Hamilton tell us about how they got into the industry, some of their most iconic moments and what actually goes into their pre match preparation.

Andrew Slaven, Laura Brannan and Findlay Marks are back with the 10th episode of the season, giving you the lowdown on all the Scottish football stories.
