Summary
What a week! Former Hibs captain & Dundee and Dunfermline Manager, James McPake joins Si Ferry, Slaney and Andy Halliday this week as we address the wild out-of-context back page headlines which emerged last week following our Open Goal Lock-In Live Stream and Andy's tactics board analysis on Rangers.
We also discuss the Premier Sports League Cup results, preview a big week in the Champions League for Russell Martin and Brendan Rodgers' Celtic as well as review an amazing night in Europe for Hibs last Thursday as they progressed to the play-off round for the UEFA Conference League, assisted by a Kieran Bowie wonder goal!
