Scottish Football Podcast

Available for 29 days

Hearts left it late but maintained their excellent start to the season with another three points at Tynecastle, strengthening the belief that Wouter Vrancken's side could once again challenge near the top of the Premiership. Stevie Miller is joined by Cammy Bell and Ryan McGowan to break down Hearts' comeback win over Dundee, assess the growing pressure on Hibs after another defeat, and discuss St Johnstone's impressive return to the top flight. The panel also examines Celtic's hard-fought victory over St Mirren, the impact of Yang's upcoming absence, and why Camilo Duran is already looking like a major success. Plus, Rangers secured another important win but may have lost captain Lawrence Shankland to a significant injury, raising fresh questions about who will provide the goals in the weeks ahead. There's also discussion of Aberdeen's struggles, Kilmarnock's search for stability and whether Scott Bain is forcing his way into Scotland contention.
