Saddle up as Chris Sutton dons his Stetson and joins us from Dallas, Texas for the latest Warm-Up special. The big man has developed a penchant for headwear since travelling to North America and, after proudly wearing a sombrero at the Azteca, is fittingly dressed for a visit to the Lone Star state. Kris Boyd joins him from Boston, where he is still coming back to earth after Scotland’s win over Haiti - and a night at the baseball with James McFadden. Together they look ahead to Scotland v Morocco and how Steve Clarke changes a winning team. They also return to the domestic front and Rangers and Hearts, with the former preparing to say farewell to Danny Röhl and pinch the latter’s manager. Where will the changes leave Hearts? And will Derek McInnes be able to make Rangers credible title contenders? And the boys also discuss the latest news at Celtic Park and the latest politics, unrest and the odd case of Martin O’Neill’s assistants.  00:00 STARTS 00:30 Stetsons and sombreros 03:25 Baseball with Faddy 04:47 Scotland v Morocco 06:08 Steve Clarke will have to change it 11:10 Will a point be enough? 12:50 Rangers and Derek McInnes 14:43 Time for a Scottish heart? 17:13 Danny Röhl-ed over 22:05 Where do Hearts go next? 24:26 In like McGlynn? 26:00 Maloney, Fotheringham and what’s going on at Celtic 29:15 Is this Celtic squad good enough? 31:25 Where the boys are next ENDS  Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl 📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl  18+ please gamble responsibly.

Scott Brown and Steven Whittaker join The Warm-Up team for the latest big interview, covering their lives on and off the park and their partnership in the dug out. The former Celtic captain and Rangers full-back faced each other on opposite sides of the Glasgow divide after starting life as key players in one of Hibs’ greatest teams.  The pair talk about how they were Old Firm enemies on the park but remained firm friends off it, looking back on their time at the clubs. They also talk about their recent departure from Ayr United and whether or not they will remain a managerial duo or go it alone.  And Scott and Steven get to confront two of The Warm-Up hosts about their own field tussles, with Broony and Steven Naismith getting into the touchline clash at Tynecastle that left one of them nursing their crown jewels. Watch the full interview. 00:00 STARTS 01:06 Broony limps in 02:58 How it ended at Ayr United 04:20 “Maybe we should have jumped ship” 06:15 The Brown x Whittaker partnership 08:10 Make or break recruitment 10:10 “Anyone can beat anyone” 11:55 Would you go it alone? 13:15 First impressions at Hibs 15:30 “We didn’t like you” 17:50 Finding our place 20:05 Undercover Jambo 22:00 Who was the best young Hibee? 24:30 Winning the League Cup 26:00 We had to leave Hibs 27:15 A sad ending? 30:55 Moving to Rangers 33:05 Broony’s an arse 36:08 Be who you want for 90 minutes 38:00 Regrets over Rangers 39:55 The next Celtic captain 42:45 Best Celtic team-mate 43:50 Brendan Rodgers 46:30 Broony v Naisy 47:28 Naisy and Whitts at Norwich 49:00 Scotland at the World Cup 53:20 Pre-season with Charlie Mulgrew 54:00 Elvis Tsunami 55:55 Managerial influences 57:01 Being difficult 01:01:17 What you’d do differently 01:05:38 League predictions 01:07:15 Groundskeeper Broony 01:09:28 What’s next? ENDS  Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl 📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl  18+ please gamble responsibly.

Can you imagine a world where The Warm-Up hosts pulled on the shirts of their greatest rivals? Both Kris and Chris Sutton are asked to contemplate playing for the other side in this month’s Mailbag, with Boydy looking for a certain Henrik Larsson to do his running. Joined by James McFadden to answer your questions, the team also discuss football friends (and enemies) and football traitors. They also look at how this current, high-flying Motherwell side compares to other great SPFL teams and if we will ever see a team like St Johnstone, do another cup double. Also in this month’s Mailbag the team answer whether or not they fancy a return to coaching and say what referee decision still haunts them. 0:00 STARTS00:38 Best friend and worst enemy in football 07:20 The best non-Old Firm team EVER 10:20 Kris and Chris: Managerial ambitions? 18:51 Will we ever see another underdog cup double? 21:53 Alternate realities: The Bhoy Boydy and Sutty the Ger 23:55 Football’s greatest traitors? 24:52 What referee decision still haunts you? ENDS  🎧 Listen to The Warm-Up wherever you get your podcasts. https://linktr.ee/williamhillspfl   Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl 18+ please gamble responsibly. #Celtic #Rangers #OldFirm #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #ScottishFootball #CelticFC #ScottishPremiership #RangersFC #Hearts #Motherwell #StJohnstone #Everton #PierluigiCollina #ManchesterUnited #ManUtd #BlackburnRovers #EnglishPremierLeague #StJohnstone #NorwichCity Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media -http://wh.bet/Ads

Raised by Sir Bobby Robson and playing as one of the stars in a Trinidad and Tobago team which included a young Dwight Yorke, Russell Latapy was largely unknown when he first arrived in Scottish football in 1998. Over the next decade with Hibernian, Rangers, Dundee United and Falkirk, the little playmaker would prove to be one of the Scottish game’s great entertainers and an inspirational talisman for his clubs. Joining Chris Sutton, Kris Boyd and James McFadden for the latest Big Interview on The Warm-Up, Russell tells the comprehensive story of his life, from his formative years in the Caribbean, to joining Porto under the great Sir Bobby. He talks of his encounters with a young Jose Mourinho and Andres Villas-Boas in Portugal, of his move to Scotland and time playing under some of the game’s great characters, including Yogi Hughes and Dick Advocaat. The interview also covers his friendship, nights out and managerial partnership with Yorke, a possible return to Scotland and includes a carnival invite for Boydy, Sutty and Faddy.  0:00 STARTS 02:20 Football, cricket and where it all began 06:00 Playing the game with Brian Lara 08:25 A Letter from America 10:15 Porto bound 12:05 Meeting Sir Bobby 13:08 The best player I played with 16:15 The Special One 19:00 AVB leaves a note 22:00 Trials with Aston Villa 23:00 Scotland bound 27:30 A love affair with Yogi 28:45 Setting The Record straight 29:50 A move to Celtic? 32:40 Catching the plane home 35:30 I have no problems with Alex 37:50 A phone call to the beach house 40:00 Time for one more 42:10 Aiming for the World Cup 45:10 “Has Terry mellowed?” 48:30 Me and Dwight 52:00 Still going at 40 54:00 An invite to the Carnival 57:30 “He chased Dirk all over the pitch” 58:10 I’d love to manage in Scotland 59:05 What kind of manager would they get? ENDS  🎧 Listen to The Warm-Up wherever you get your podcasts. https://linktr.ee/williamhillspfl   Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl  18+ please gamble responsibly. #Celtic #Rangers #OldFirm #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #ScottishFootball #CelticFC #ScottishPremiership #RangersFC #Hearts #FalkirkFC #DundeeUtd #ScottishCup #Hibernian #Hibs #HeartofMidlothian #Stenhousemmuir #CelticFC #TrinidadandTobago #DwightYorke #BrianLara #cricket #ManchesterUnited  Proper Supporter of the @SPFL   Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media -http://wh.bet/Ads

The Old Firm prepare to dance again this weekend – this time in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup. On a Warm-Up cup special, regular hosts Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd are joined by James McFadden to look ahead to the weekend’s ties. For the second week running, Ibrox again provides the venue for the Glasgow derby and, as the team explain, this is turning out to be a bigger game for Rangers manager Danny Rohl than it is for opposite number Martin O’Neill. The team also discuss Celtic’s selection issues, who starts in goal and exactly how they will line up as their manager tries to figure out the reason behind their slow starts and late rallies. Looking at the other ties, Faddy foils a pile-on as Chris and Kris take aim at an under-performing St Mirren team. They ask if the Buddies have taken their foot off the gas following their League Cup win, threatening a remarkable double. The team also smell an upset at East End Park, where Dunfermline face Aberdeen, discuss Falkirk v Dundee United, and give their match predictions. 0:00 STARTS 00:54 This is a bigger game for Danny Rohl 02:19 ‘That’s just not good enough for Rangers’ 06:45 The one thing Martin O’Neill won’t do again 09:33 The dramatic decline of a Celtic talisman 10:27 Celtic’s goalkeeping conundrum 13:35 Falkirk can win this cup 15:19 ‘He’ll go from University to the Scotland team’ 18:50 Can St Mirren do it again? 20:14 “This isn’t a social media pile-on" 21:18 Quarter final predictions ENDS 🎧 Listen to The Warm-Up wherever you get your podcasts. https://linktr.ee/williamhillspfl    Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl  18+ please gamble responsibly. #Celtic #Rangers #OldFirm #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #ScottishFootball #CelticFC #ScottishPremiership #RangersFC #Hearts #FalkirkFC #DundeeUtd #ScottishCup #DunfermlineAthletic #MotherwellFC #Hearts #HeartofMidlothian #AberdeenFC #PartickThistle #CelticFC #StMirren  Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media -http://wh.bet/Ads

If you ever needed evidence of the quality of the SPFL, today’s Winner Stays On delivers. This month, the team debate the top Scottish players to have played in the SPFL - who have never played for one of the Old Firm clubs. The team were spoiled for choice as they mulled over the SPFL era (post-2013) and picked out stars who have gone on to shine in the English Premiership, in Serie A and beyond. Who do you think are the best Scottish players to have starred in the Scottish Premiership, outside of Celtic or Rangers?

It’s been over a month since St Mirren celebrated League Cup glory. And Chris Sutton is still waiting on his cheque and case of champers from his old Buddies. Answering questions from Warm-Up viewers in the latest Mailbag, Chris reflects on the role he played as St Mirren’s Mr Motivator and is asked if he would still refuse to open his curtains if they were playing in his back garden. In the latest show, Chris, Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith also talk about football influences, team-mates who have tried to persuade them to switch clubs and the captains who drove them to victory. Heart of Midlothian’s ‘new Scott Brown’ is under the microscope, as is VAR and the officials running it. Did Naisy nearly move to Celtic? Should we stop the clocks on time-wasting?

As Celtic and Hearts prepare for their top of the table clash at Tynecastle, The Warm-Up assembles for a special edition examining one of the tightest title races in recent memory. For this special show, Paul Hartley and Barrie McKay make their Warm-Up debuts alongside Charlie Adam, looking ahead to this weekend’s game and reflecting on their own experience of title run-ins. Paul can speak from both painful and happy memory, having come tantalisingly close to title glory with Hearts before going on to win it with Celtic under Gordon Strachan. Having made over a century of appearances for both Hearts and Rangers, Barrie offers insight into how this current Jambos’ side is handling the pressure, identifying one significant test which has already been passed with flying colours. Charlie Adam also looks to Ibrox, where a player he worked with at Everton is showing signs of growing into the role of Rangers number 9.
