| Boyd & Sutton CLASH on Top 5 SPFL strikers of all time | The Warm-Up Debate | 12 Aug 2025 | 00:19:10 | |
Who are the SPFL’s GOATed strikers? Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton are joined by Charlie Adam for The Warm-Up's first big debate of the season.
A few special caveats are in place for this one with Boyd and Sutton OUT of the running along with Celtic legend Henrik Larsson, who is widely accepted as Scottish football’s greatest forward of all time.
Several key names are in contention, with Chris Sutton identifying the man he succeeded at Celtic Park as one of his favourites.
Boyd looks to his strike partners at club and international level - and in England - to make his case for one striker who ‘won’ titles for two clubs in Scotland.
Adam, meanwhile, puts forward two names from the team he supported as a boy who he sees as worthy contenders.
00:00 Start 02:17 The other Sutton 03:09 Chris on Mark Viduka 03:59 Michael Mols - what might have been 04:55 Kris on getting Kenny Miller match fit 05:40 Big Bad John 06:40 Scott McDonald 07:07 Kyogo v Edouard 08:18 Shankland v Morelos 12:29 Playing for the Old Firm 13:30 McDonald v Griffiths 15:15 The top fives 18:13 Behind the scenes 18:35 And the lights go out...

| 'Maradona’ Maeda struggles while £8 million man Chermiti is still MIA | The Warm-Up | 26 Sep 2025 | 00:22:57 | |
With Rangers failing to score in their UEFA Europa League defeat to Genk and Celtic wrestling with the question of what to do with a problem like Maeda, The Warm-Up asks which of the Old Firm sides will be the first to get their frontmen firing.
Will Daizen Maeda persevere up front for the Scottish champions or is it vital that Brendan Rodgers gets new signing Kelechi Iheanacho match fit and starting in a central role.
Russell Martin faces a different issue at Rangers. Will £8 million man Youssef Chermiti start to make an impact or could Russell Martin even opt to pair him in attack with former Aberdeen frontman, Bojan Miovski.
Also, up for discussion is:

| Russell Martin SACKED! Gerrard, Dyche or Muscat next for Rangers? | The Warm-Up with Boyd & Sutton | 06 Oct 2025 | 00:33:01 | |
Russell Martin has been sacked as Rangers manager after just seven league games. Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton bring you a special edition of The Warm-Up recorded hours after Russell Martin’s departure from Ibrox.

The duo look at what is going on behind the scenes at Ibrox at boardroom level and in recruitment and ask who will be next to take charge? Up for discussion is: Managerial options: Steven Gerrard, Sean Dyche, Kevin Muscat - or Steve Clarke?! Would leaving Hearts be a backward move for Derek McInnes?

| Paul Elliott on Celtic, HORROR Chelsea injury, SPFL Serie A stars & Facing Maradona | The Warm-Up | 13 Oct 2025 | 00:53:10 | |
His time in Glasgow was brief, but brilliant. Three decades on, Paul Elliott is still considered one of the best centre backs to grace Scottish football. Joining Kris Boyd, Steven Naismith and Chris Sutton for The Warm-Up's latest big interview, the defender talks us through his career, starting from his early days in England with Charlton, Luton and Aston Villa. A career cut short following a horrific tackle at Chelsea, Elliott also covers his time in prime Serie A, going head-to-head with van Basten, Maradona, and other legendary stars. Now working as an equality campaigner within the game and as Charlton Athletic’s vice chairman, he also talks extensively about his two years at Celtic under Billy McNeill, where he was named Scotland’s Player of the Year and took on a Rangers side which was asserting its dominance over the Scottish game. Also, up for discussion is: The night he joined Rangers’ title party ‘The best rivalry in the world’ Paul McStay and the Celtic greats Why Scotland are lucky to have Steve Clarke 00:00 Starts 01:40 “They came to watch Mark Walters” 05:25 Facing giants in Serie A 06:55 Maradona got me sent off 09:20 Brian Clough wanted to sign me 09:55 ‘Did you learn the language?’ 10:18 Expectations at Celtic 12:40 A move to Rangers 14:00 A blue plaque in Victorias 16:14 Paul ‘The Hat’ McStay 18:50 ‘Mark Walters stitched me up!’ 20:05 Racism in football and society 25:00 Made the Gorbals look like Mayfair! 27:27 Nothing like life in Glasgow 29:16 Time to say goodbye 31:51 His injury at Chelsea 35:00 The lesson I learned 41:45 ‘I left everything out there’ 43:55 The new Scots in Italy 46:23 Studious Stevie Clarke 50:45 My brother, Big Billy
