The managerial merry-go-round commences as not one, but two SPFL managers lost their jobs this week. We bid adieu to ‘the bunneted one’ Dick Campbell for maybe the final time as East Fife moved on from the 72-year-old, and Dumbarton dispensed with Frank McKeown after a humbling in the Challenge Cup against rivals Clydebank. Elsewhere Marink Reedijk already feels the hotseat as Hibernian slipped to the bottom of the table with successive defeats under the Dutchman. Celtic ran out rampant winne...

With no Premiership, League One and Two, it was as good a time as any to give the main focus of the show to the Championship after discussing Sébastien Pocognoli’s first game in charge as Scotland manager. And we had enough time to have a brief look at the Challenge Cup, especially that 14-0 win by Ross County over a depleted Heart of Midlothian B. All that and more on the only Scottish football podcast you need to get through that arduous gym session. Chapters Intro (00:26) Slovenia v Scotla...

Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Scottish Football Podcast episode 223! Joining Jamie and Michael this week is podcast debutant Fraser MacLeod from ‘The 30’ on X and Instagram (@the_thirty_). In typical Sportsound fashion, we begin in the Premiership with Rangers as they visited Celtic Park in the second Old Firm in the space of a week. Elsewhere in the division, Dundee United dismantled a St Mirren side who have now lost three on the spin and we talk about the various incomings and ou...
