Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan are back for the final foray into Scottish football this season.

Dundee are promoted to the Premiership after relegating Kilmarnock in the play-off, with some garbage football on display. What next for Killie, with an entire squad possibly leaving this summer?

Happier times for St Johnstone after they complete their cup double. The greatest achievement in Scottish football history?

There’s a multitude of managers on the move – we’re worried about Micky Mellon’s horse. And Barry Ferguson leaves Kelty Hearts after earning them their first ever promotion to the SPFL.

And Andrew, JJ and Laura pick their Premiership teams of the season. One representative allowed from all 12 clubs. What could possibly go wrong?

Hibs defender Paul Hanlon joins us on the pod as he prepares for his 4th Scottish Cup final at the club.

Steve Clarke names his Euro 2020 Scotland squad this week. Is it time for Turnbull? Or hipster’s choice Ryan Gauld? Or the forgotten Forrest?

Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan can see the Premiership split, and the return of lower league football, in sight.

Hibs tighten their grip on 3rd place and European football next season. Will that make up for some humiliating semi-final defeats this season?

Livingston confirm a top 6 finish against Hamilton, thanks to – and also in spite of – their jet.

Graham Christieson gives us the Montrose perspective of the return of League One and Two, with clubs set to kick off on Saturday but still not certain of how many games they have to play.

And its Celtic v Rangers this weekend which sparks some almighty debates about gathering and guards of honour.
