Summary
Slaney & Andy Halliday sub in for hosting duties while Si Ferry is off ill as the lads are joined by Scotland International & Sheffield Wednesday legend, Barry Bannan and Ross McCormack!
The lads get a great chat with Barry about playing through the current difficult circumstances at Hillsborough amid the uncertainty around the club as well as hear some brilliant stories from his career at the likes of Aston Villa, Blackpool and Crystal Palace.
And we of course discuss all the action from the weekend's Premier Sports Cup Quarter-Finals as Russell Martin got a huge win over Hibs despite animated fan protests against him outside and inside Ibrox to set-up a Semi-Final tie against bitter rivals Celtic. Andy Halliday & Motherwell are also heading back to Hampden for a 2nd season in a row after his side beat Aberdeen at Pittodrie which now sees them face Stephen Robinson's St Mirren for a place in the Final!
