Then in Thursday when I say, I think Was't apparently People say, you shut you se it Can you win, either way? I get that every single week. Do whatrangous fans tell me I pand at Celtic fans and Celtic fans tell me I'm biased. Would you just ever go in a show tho and say something he never meant. No, but for if you're saying fan or rangers fan or whatever you would say just to start the sockup def fans? No I would never say that me. No And you would I think you would come across it you're then I thinkite what I I think we did. I genuine can see both sides It was annoying people were saying that he didn't hit his hand. That was embarrassing. I thought the language used after it was poor. but I can see both sides of the argument, defefinitely. It's crazy because I watched it five times, D think it was. then the still picture looks like it was just sitting his horn, Then we watched the video behind the goal I. I don't know. And that eye stuffing out it's so hard thatt That gives me the fucking fear that Yeah he's actually doing You don't realize it because you're no looking for cats and bots and see that first one that came up, Ty Sher' got down a bel today. It took me about three years to the realize that Mother where were my nyat. C know' sitting on his hor? Anything else Any anis you in life, Marth? No, this is just do child just get home with it, man, that people do what they need to do. No I know you've got a better a manager Because you had the Mcin' as I take bad that moment sh. And you would' have been done, me. We banced these stight. That's so bad that's. M see two years ago, we were coming to the end of our season and we fned it Plers were taking snoos on the bench. I I' be didn't know, obviously on in someundbody went by, you know the boys fucking snoose on theengeine, you'd be like. All right, boyyss taking it like before warm up and stuff. like, we bannednooe completely. That wass one of the first thing we did, like What in the whole every day? No snooze any day within the building if you got caught didn' it. What happened? David was seing the about his m backack of the port So this sn do. s Do mother does a big man like this sest? No, neither I him Which is mad ' Scandinavia Yeah is big there. That on it. Yeah. O maybe that's why there's not like c it.. That's it. It elsey players' mouth No, that wass good. Literally. they were good, man. Oh mobile phones banned as well, I hate that. The boys are allowed to go on them up until like three o'clock. T literally come back in from a warm upp some boys will be on at night. Fark off That was they were fine. they were fine with it. yeah. So we change that Coming from the walm up and going the phone. Going the phone message or whatever else. So after two o'clock there was no mobile phones out. Even if it' free music it was fine if you're cught like message only anything, it was a hundredquid Be you need to be concentrating on what you're going out there to do.. Even like Cing every day for like you' lunching at night know they're bat upstairs. Yeahah. everyveryone had to go upstairs at half twelve together. Captain would lead them up every day the things we like standers Standers man. The onand's after the game like five o'clock have just been beaten there on the phone That's awful was realan. I hated that la from my Lapas that posessions. P Mrround school good to go. six one as B as it gets that.

I'm driving behind the fucking slowest driving in the world P are coming this way. It's aubbe street so Fucking tunent. How' it the ports can get past be fair talking that.

How was your first experience on the vlogum I thought it was good. It was good. I did see him No I h his vogs on go So I think I didn't want to get involved too much. I wanted to to days butong should sit with the game and I thought it worked well. But again see the game in general, regardless ofort of controversy the world in, it was an unbelieableame when amazing intensity the gaming cred's really good.

Right, Mar pretty much two weeksre have our hands. s been nice and relaxed spending a lot of time in the gym playing paddle the old people have got me playing pickle now as well. The woman actually came up to me she was about She's, oh, I'm really sorry what happened to Livingston, but she's like, You can play pickle with us now. man. like that well I came to. So yeah doing playing any big games No, well, Lenny, play paddder with Lenny. You play padder with Lenny. By the way decent. I assistant Ian, very, very good Where did that come with it Obviously Lennys was my manager ages ago, so Rory one of Th then these kind of disciples was like setting up like a paddle group chat. they just put me into it. so. and playing paddle and stuff with them as well. That backs up your point about paddle when you don't anyone's gonna play it. Yeah Lenny's a part of c.efinitely. Have you played I hate him Really? I like to get sweat on when I'm done. it's like two stops start for me I do like I've only play the ones but I like to do these. Deent. ye, decent Did a bit of that and like I s it, mate kindon has just been chilling out. You said Lenny plays he topop off? Definitely not. I obviously left Lovingston at public reia reasons disappointing in stand moment. Yeah, no really disappointing. Did you just assume that you were going to get a nice chairman for her? We were told that. We were told that. so before we we took the job actually siting in a room like this And it was like But they asked her? Yeah did. you w want to take the job? And I was like, Noah, don't want take it. Th it was offered to somebody else in the room and they're like, I'm not fucking doing it. Like literally, that's what they said. Tony, they asked you if you why did you take it? you said, No. Yeah because Basically I went back into coaching and obviously had a year out, was happy like in the coaching role. Want to do that for the full season or even beyond that. I had no plans of actually going back in as a manager kind of straight away And then the situation we were in It was like a difficult one. I was like, Noah like not for me, not for me at the moment. As I said, offered to somebody else. They said no came back to me and was like, listen, I understand the situation that we're in, but you'll get next season to bring us back up. You know, we build a squad. Theres a squad good enough now at the moment get us back out of the championship, but well improve it over the summer we understand that no one's going to do like this bit without having having next season, obviously fourteen games to go. Spectively we're down. So that's what was promis us at the start. So like, right, okay, we'll take it on And obviously now things began to change as as time went on. How many games did you lose in the eleop games because it wasn't that many, was it? No, so we lost threes, we lost four, we lost a full cat which we had it like two days, then we had Celtic last minute. And not in Chamberain Squordon the last minute. and then we lost two out of the last nine so we lost two Kil Maric, which was a disappint one, That's probably the only result Nal gave Yeah We were we weren't great in that and then we lost the last minute to Dundy United. But the eleven before that, the team had lost eight and drawn three I'd watched loads within that as well. Hearts Game Mangjls Game, S game and honestly I thought he' improved massively. I thought he was way more competitive. Wh did you change him m? We changed the shape completely so we were playing about four. for that and obviously trying to play from the back and You know, obviously, we concedered quite a lot of goals, etcer. We weren't really that much of a threat going forward. So in our eleven games, we actually scored more conceded less than eleven games prior to that as well. So just changed it about, gave the boys a little bit more freedom going forward, D didnn't press as high, but when we turned the ball over, we had more energy to then you know try and go and attack and we did that against Rangers, effectively that's what we were trying to do. suck on too us and then go the other way and the boys managed to do that until obviously went down to ten men, which made it difficult You need to get back in, big man? Yeah, as soon as possible, mee and Haste, definitely And Try and get back in either down the road or back up here. Have you had any offles Now we've spoken to a couple of people in England, but nothing nothing up here yet. so Here's a fucking unreal question. Bet be good Parts rangers the S you drew with two S sc ninetighty minutes scit performances. Who would you have se at that point you thought was going to win in the league playing against him Not bad No, I don't mean that question I told me. was bit Heartsw Rangers, if I'm honest. I. Yeah, yeah. genenuinely thought that Hartsw Rangers. would win it at that point I you go side Yeah, that looks CD was. I actually thought you were good in both three games as well would be fair? And that's the thing. the boys were brilliant. They brought into everything we were trying to do. Like I said there was a massive change of shape and training and everything else we did in terms of the video and stuff. well they boughtght into all of it and like I couldn't fall them for the eleven games, one hundred percent, but as soon as a goalpost got moved at the end we I'm not going. Is that your adimment then my view want to be a manager. I see what I do. Well, I was happy in the coaching role, so I would be happy to go back into another coaching role if that's what came up. It wasn't like, I need to go and be a manager. I want to go and be a manager. We kind of like pushed into that and then told you have to apply for the job that you were told that you' be given next season, then that' was just like, I'm alorry that was wrong for us. We decided to leave. I think you're mage him I don't mind anything honestly, I did, I really really didn't. But again, having Hasty and Granty, Neil Haston like coaching unbelievable. like really, really, really good and we all worked really well together that's why it's pol Dappointing after the eleven games to say You know, of you have to apply for the job That's why we're likeah come on. the team had lost eight in the eleven before us and then all a suden we were a lot more competitive and like I said, paid five of the top six did extremely well in those games as well. and there and just like that can't happen. You confident you could get them back up the gently would be Yeah we were a hundred percent and that's the thing, we're trying to prepare for the next season and you know, trying to come back up but then to be a bit more difficult when youve got new players being shown around the ladsder bumping into them. it was a little bit chaotic towards the end. And do you know the new pleasure going in? No On so many occasions, players who had been in all their agents would then call me and say, whereere were you big man I didn't to see? I I didn't know compvenent You know what I mean? So it was Yeah, it was it was difficult and obviously You know, use the seentimidfielder, for example, PC Andy getting shown around, you're thinking Hang on, I'm asking to run for a brickool for us on the weeke Nandy's coming next season to take your place. like But the boys I standard fucking be a could j. Get rid of me. The boys stuck with it to be fair to them. N see you back and bye Dane Sott I me, D I Good andf Right boys on and the most incredible season in Scottish football decided at the weekend Could you believe what you were watching at the of it? Wow, like did you emotional? my m m getting me say this? him under Bike Sog. No no, he's not getting a bg. Bike Shogy was in Fls of tears when I' always been running for the best best game I've ever beenat in it best atmosphere at one I think I genuallyly thoughtought Hartw werere going to date. I couldn't really see. I messages you dinner? Yeah. Could you see S at Dinnner but the genius I M the new make they subday mix There's a chang in shape as well. I did the theat trrustic comes out because like Hston is the last g him at Tincastle. A lot of the game plom is to leave trust doing it. and There's not a lot of movement if you able to But when that ch and Serachi was so good when he came home, and Natural makes a huge difference He's laugh at that all season. T out you But get me how many games has Mat Neil made subs thatven went onready scored goals or change it I thought it was absolute genius, but What incredible incredible. His points tellally since he' came in is ridiculous. Fteen points clear teen points. What Jang he's done with them what J he's changed I think he's made him go back to basics. I really, really do and ultimately, look at the players that are thereough best actual team eleven. No one's praising Motherwell for the way that motherwell will play. But you look at the players and what they've won And I think he's just given that freedom to go back to it. I think oncy tried to overc compplicate things and they' probably like the light to get rid of him. So againain they' about to get from O'Ne him coming in, simplifying things allowing the players to go and do what they did, but yeah, unbelievable game. You're right at the weekend. You say man did fifty minutes ago Junk hats I' gotten this Yeah fififty minutes to go now J Just go got to take a chanance as well. And I also think that exceled of created an unbelievable habit at school Ngals. So you can you always felt we even say that F Park. I mean, still didnt get in Mdro's box I something and scored and I still felt that something get w went on either side E but even a It was more the first half to be honest. The way the first half panned out I know hindsight this means absolutely nothing. but if Celtic don't get that penalty and it goes in one now then I probably can see how it's holding it because at that point in time, what was Celtic's best chance before that Exactly I wasing that not. I don' think we're going to score at all And obviously they get the penalty, which's one of the ones disappointing for Kasey this. It's an element of unfortunate how it comes around, but as soon as outthic score, I felt as if there was going to be a siege at some point in the second half the whether that been last ten minutes and you know you need to sore when the league you're going to fourull people in. you' get two stakers up front You actually again, I thought madebe the mass have defin in the glass. It' so good. So good. And then you just feel it thing was going to come. And then see as soon as mya sc Straight every was that my use was on sf Yeah A's g off stable cante c moment as well. stopped doing service. I know that's terrible. I' stopped t things Ch of hearts of the kid held out on at halfime, it could be a different game. Yeah, definitely. I think the fans Celtic fans are beginning to go. in terms of their good so angry at trusting, I think they would have booed them off at halfime. I think the pressure have been totally different penalty like to talk about any actress penal against Mother was high pressure but Englson as well. and obviously go' just underneath a goalkeeper. I think it changes everything in terms of how the fans are at halfime, Hal time team talk how the players actually feeling because they've been poor from Sel extanding in the first half, but it still won't want, whichich means if you turn it on a little bit in the second half Lanny said you't going to win the game. D didn't you say what an in Cid all season for hats? Was it a deint No, unbelievable. Tw and fifty days consecutive for that. I they'll be so sick though obviously I doesnn't say the win, but you actually did feel a bit sick for hearts one Yeah That whole fucking season if mind bas there. That pain is a saake, I support hips as well but it's even you saw the mic coming off the bus and like they're in tears stuff, you're just like No, they were so close. I never get that close again as an individual. you won't They wouldn't get that close again. I actually felt so sorry for them genuinely did. felt bad for them. I actually thought they defended unbelievably well as well and essentially for game into the last ten minutes. I thought Steinwinder he was getting h. He was hobbling around after about half an hour as well but he was brilliant.. Absolutely brilliant. Deel's tactics were spott as well by that in the first half. Yeah. Trusted you know what did he all players were killing him andingike could he hit move front. Is that a player that cour as a player surely, look com in side mark and staying while he's left footed and they're leaving him on the ball Why are you coming to call? I think I agree I did think there was a lack of movement front of him. S seememingly you feel as if there's lackacking moment in front you, you don't step in the game And he was like stepping and stepping. there was nothing front of him and he was p the w running and glad to sat with though. He' like, didn' know what to do, man. I thought Harts's gamepl was sporting is just as soon as Mark Maneu made their changes. They looked like it lost Harts when they was, weren't they? Would it be wr in the Harts suubbs when they get it A I' this he, I think know you look at it and think Bringing Frankiein on a minute after halfim But you then you' using a stoppage. You're using a stoppage then you can't fsee that Benny Bingamy's going to get sned four minutes later. So you're fifteen minutes in and you've had two your stoppages. Is that tactical that first sub was an injury? You can always assume, not wasjy, you can always assume that It was because he actuallyual came with the they went the lake. But you knowice Lake's a manager, right? Y always know one have opportunions to make the haling play. Normally tell Always. Yeah, normally the referees at you yourre doing and said they'reaking one st sub Wh who's coming off who's coming off. And one of the staff members that say this season an actual Yeah go almost one be one a sports scientist So you then use your two stopages. you know you want to get brag on at one point and see if it goes to one You' thring all the attackers on light the outict h. You don't have a stop. have a chance to that. Do You say you nat was in one of the ones with a sports coat? No, but see if you're coming on as a half time sub Your warm's different them on. So ye warm upp that you almost noise coming on,. Well, Hart see that season stillle is a success definite. Yeah one hundred percent. Even though they were in top that long and lost it, we s had last game of the season. Look where they were last. I don't know. L it has to be a success to finish second and again, Players probably won't realize that until a couple of weeks time but it's massive massing success and they got chances he qualifies well, haven't they? Yeah. So rill How long can this light defl and feel last drink or someone el so why? Could it keep it at next season his old jink I' no just I don't know if you've heard the same. Apparently Braga won the Sports Rightels awwardard last year. A appareot was crying on sage. wasn't I you obviously got asked about it and just posted theetails. I' allreet in gonna k the t bitink In't That's why that last off someow. How did't know we change the parkade decason I wanted to get out there, I felt intimidated, I think. Or do they donmate theigners to get them outouse together? All right people have their boots and stuff.'ve seen that t, them they' been changed Bastow wings have always seen far Yeah I great se' anything. Is it the best take your ins say personality point of view B I don't mean football wise, I mean they're a little bit of football wise, but the first time you thought s like I've got no chance to win it. come back and win any year that've won it hass been very comfortable for them. Yeah. But I'll be honest, I never thought the football was great under mananing you. No, Even early on I thought there's maybe say like I wouldn't leag playingl this bit Just shows the sort of mentality and character hes brought to him, doesn't it? You think as players that's the best one, like James Frice and Call Mgreg. ever said that tit I gu has to be f it has to be done this, but if you like the drama wise goest it What was it eighty seventh minute? madeade us sc eighty seventh? eighty sc. He was incredible again my dinner You just had the own me the last seven games Even that aic point of view, though remember the you were done united I thought that was it because they couldn't fully slip up. had they went on a run all season and then they go and win seven games Just incredible. rightight, on, did you keep the job it's your decision. So she w that right? When asked before, I was almost like No, Malin, he's just in for this season to get him going again, but But why wouldn't you give the job? Because is thirteen points clear since he com in so he' absolutely batt of the lag since's came in He's not rangers at the twoups. he was in the finalice and onious he lost the final and he's in our finals so he would be toking it could be of winner treble. So have decent performances in Europe as well, final I done own Europe probablyrobably the only thing that you wouldd maybe see is the performance levels, I don't know if you feel that him. whver it's been going on I'm glad to be one that Honestly there The trually is a Jandy though, like as a sale to P peopleople come in who are going to be cr but they want something there It's going to be there for maybe four or five year Ran My big thing is I think you're only get one chance to get in the motherill mananager. I think this is your only chance to get somebody and I think he is very special. I didn't think you could turn up the chance to get him Like thinking what he could do with that S like the team is so exciting. Yeah. I just and I think I don't think to get any better underm my money if I' being completely honest get take them to another level.. They will get bit at rising be Jhs start t com back Cat of because they can back Aer John's to make a huge difference in the last sort of three games and then in the summer they will Coach like ask you what they players, No, I know. I you aect your recruitment nowough if you's got a manager on a year to year contract? Th you on of sign players and you' got a couple of options, you like Martin Nil iss to be there now, but who's going to be there in two mins time? I think that makes it difficult. I feel they do need a mini rebuild as well. so We ran too close this season. Yeah. I don't think they can go into next year. Seen Sen tims Aer He's had aplac, weren't he? I Yeah. Let' show the players that S have lost over years. How can you replace them that? I've never seen somebody He's we talk about it all the time. I've never seen somebody run the way he runs. No I've he. he will be out. he went in here this summer. Yeah. Wh was it telling me Have he spoke about this before? The Byer Munic players couldn't believe st? Ty was Tony said that last week? week Tko about have Tony saidays Japan or so far. I know whoy By Tony that. his't gameony it What did you say how did he buys his sock? man. alwaysman look likes a player it h. I was I Jn ses me in the m of the defin sees me Even if I on Tuesday and he comes after me Wednesday and he comes after the level drops off No I felt game we can in my life. How were harts when you played them? I did you hank hats Yeah, they were good. One thing that we kind of noticed is they they go man for man. so all we were trying to do is M the winger go into fullback position, the fullback go into to wingers position in terms of when we were attacking, but now they were good obviously made the fight at the end but I think we were clean through and goal and Marked pulls one of the boys back but We do think that they they had it in them to go and w the league. defeinitely I think they had them set up really well obviously a disappointed draw against us because the bottom of the league But they're in every single game. you know I mean and Braga and Shankon now think like Shank's first game back. the difference that he made absolutely scary two best strikers to me in the in the top flight this season those two. Tee how Siry do just like go to end and so many last minute winners like what do like vers they't did that did it why did why what have cly gotten that is the players is it ment fatigue you, man. You can't get the ball You actually can't see when Oain Chamberlain scoreed against us. That's Our players are just tired. they just can't get out to them. and they constantly keep the ball and Physically, yeah that they're wearing you down, but mentally you can see the players been out there playing against them and just like at some point they're going to score a goal some point they're to get an opportunity, Norm a top player. I think that's what they do different to Rangers. I don't think Rangers re dominate the ball against you, so to speak. I think you can have a bit of ball against Rangers as well where even Celtiic this season at times. they just turn the ball back over against you so quickly And then just keep it for long periods where it's just it's just draining. Hm I do think I' It probably is just almost F yields are wentning it's just that winner mentality within the group of players They've got I think Martin you obviously makes a big difference to that as well becausecause like you say how many how many times they you done this? No no Is you double figers in? No. I didn't don't you like it that. I thought hearts were going to win at me, hu Ps can put just stapled them the whole year it was so perfect, even when you is It's not even a bit like you think it's no like there's ten, fifteen minutes wor of momentum coming. you what I mean? Because like you said, F park No didn't get me after Mother was b. M read it in that game ye. I think it's just just It's almost just ining in the manet that it's going to come Is that why gu guys like Calum make they I get our soe valuable s' his best to show, but he just brings that mentality. When they needed him towards end of the season, I think he's been back to it but I think he struggled when they went to just playing two semifielders in there because obviously at his age and people start talking about his legs going and stuff, but As Andy saying now, I think that mentality thing and it would be every day in training as well. I think Tiy spoke about it after what he does as a captain. Boys have won before. I think that's where I was always saying about I didn't think hearts could win it because none have been over the course to do so. so many seiic players have and I think that was the important thing come in the end where these hearts players would be better for the experience next season But this season I think got people like James Forest, Callen M Gregor just like leading those boys every single day. Listen, they managed to do it in the last kick of the game, basically. How surprised you is when you seen the blagun open I couldn't believe it.. Joshuindast' so busy a mistake if you do that. I was told before he wasn't playing and I knowll normally keep apparently we've been struggling for a couple of weeks. I think he isays that one last game for me. I know that's my thing, go for it. that's my thing. maybe to start him and he's going to go and there's probably an element of he's probably going gets sold in the summer as well. So if he goes and does a real bad one to it Pre trying to balance that all that up, aren't you in terms of and get good twenty minutes out of him when the game slows down. but Yeah, it's a massness for that. Do hearts get a better a chance of a league again? I don't think so it. I I don't. Even what about it when you look at Tony Blam's other teams ending in it's usually after like three or four years that end up w't it? No, listen, I get that one hundred percent, but I've said it I don't think Jamestown's S' been I've been the biggest reason sureortly why Harts have been there this year. I they've actually which's been the success rate in the signings of made this year. It's no been loads as it? Now I do think that could improve. but I know you don't agree with this, but I cannot seen Celtic improve massively this year. Celtic cannot even come close to how bad they've been this year. Can he impossible And Rangers on on they're going to have a Rusll Martin stin it again So I just think celic ringes are going to improve. Can hearts improve enough kind of get to that level, I just kind of see it. Maybe mayaybe in five, seven, eight years l the end of the day, they're the first year, aren't you But they said was a ten your plan So the fact they've got to this stage in one year is ridiculous Over the next three four years, I just kind of see them getting anyone the other opportunity to go this year. You you think they throw more money at it because they've came this close so you think Tony Blooms looks it and thinks S say he had, don't know, earmark six million for this window coming up and he might say himself, D I throw ten me because I really do think We can get closer because I agree with youselfel it can't be as bad as they were this season. The Rangers will definitely be better, but I think you throwed more money at it. thinkbe we're writing a coattails now we have to kick on again because if you don't do that. and go the other way and you finish four next season and then it becomes a disaster which is it's like the thing that it's like say six million or ten million r just twenty five million itselty. spell Yeah. Well, if they both well, if Seltate and parta have a window that they have last year, then they'll certainly an alortunity back. I almost think that's impossible. I really do. Celtic cannot have anyone near as bad as the two transfer windows they had last year. Just want to ask him if his ends are matter, how would you take one you're the celic fan for the stand here Be for the sixty thousand gone. Ivent to that Thirty old town I you end up W is mad which is a mad gamble because How' if you look back at his sort of career, is he done well? he anywhere else he's been I'm not sure. How well he's done sort of or success, or what he's win or whatever. Martin News just proved this season a complete winner any he well winning stuff. but I think where you see those in I going forward for years, years guing. What bit statue with you jior building? That building now? Major? Yeah. building fucking building everything else. What would to be doing in the stature? He loves that wave,n't it? It gott to be waved. What do you have on to be tracky be surpris everything be six foot be tking we wave Not six foot? No don't know. canan't even maybe compared to side I can't ad I I genually can't believe what he's done I really can't. Well you f you't go home you said you're emotional. emotional but him. I know you're only going to like exit, I'ming up to the fans But I just get too much for me the full season every where you fl the wr. I had at the m again S sp when they could beat with Hibbs at Parkkeed. They lost you took got lost to hibbs and I thoughtall that' sit down They'' good enough to go around at that amount of wins And it sas all didn't like be that big guy I that be okay, but Matin they just it's absolutely exceptional And I don't feel you've given off credit. No, he's been amazing Yeah's been. I w't know how many times sell to all rangers of one off all games in the spot that or I willll be You see like one of a game in this sps Iess a big You might see amazing sle teams, amazing rangers teams in the past. It win these sppid you think Names have had an amazing team since the spks came in, but I bet yah,s not I'd be surprised if it's been done before and if it has it'll be once or twice Max But probably the worst team as well That was say teams se they g give me something ye. far. ten years definitely. And by of being up here some that recruitment we' seen in January, theoundjies I've had so many the teams each's had they actually play Remember they g give my eybons for they right apparenties? Yeah, that's that I don'tving to put that there I'm My go what fucking job? Id just show you as well to like We also talk about how important it' to be good tactically, but that being that man manager and being that sort of person in charge is so important as,n' it? Be they haven't done anything special terms of football have, but he's just then he's game as well. And game subs Yeah very good. The incredible amount as I say, the otherle amount of subs that he's made of has changed the game even The all day we hearts change it to threeputs two up front able. Last question, Viz. I want you to make a prediction, while heart's challeng again this season Challenge to that, Lvel or just challenge in general Well, I say when the break when they break the top two again Next year are doing so. I think it'd be a struggle I be a mammoth tasan did it It all depends on the equipment. And if they are f, they won't be miles behind. I think it'll be tight. I think they'll be tight to. second place if they're not to finish second. I don't think you'll see a massive dropper from them now So if maner does get a sorory, how do they change equuitmentough? do they this like to change equuitment? We have to get people They sit in the background except the job. I mean essentially they don't do they? Then who appoints Hmandy It as money like getes, who then appoint this guy is it the board? in the board die? Well it can be sh moreoney? sureurely Well I'm generally I'm being serious when I say that because he's had a bit three four different rules, aren't you? I'd find that amazing if if he goes back up to that Roman Mount and he goes upstairs and then hire on a manager so I you get someday. comoming in that role, but evenven if they don't I still don't think they can as bad as they've done last year. The one actually it's near impossible it'd be that bad. It looks impossible. But the worry has may there will be a way tight will be angles. Anngles I think it' be away. I'm tptr ified mine qu overles me odd day got the World Cup' or to come so I'd probably getting more more than that for him. It it in terms of like losingat in Englles, right? tat is not mean really play The money you're going to get for the a players forith're both definitely repl place I just don't get can replace my either that's. he's a big one. How many can I get another year own them Oh damn it I just fuck him on for twenty minutes every he given me. mean his le couldn't hold up. Oh, he said jokeking me. Even when he's dropped down his passes are fucking. He never gives a boy good man. That'll be first touch for the man. Well Celticseltics. F chance essentory for the equalizer is that in actual one. And like you said, the first touch it gets wrapped in you He just opens up his body, takes a hearts spot it, and then you're actually expecting him to scquore just because it's happenving take a qu two to tw three yards of bingss it off a post. Do you know has proved me l it for your skills? how many things I told you? I don't think it happy se was his gamame Saturday L's I just stood the shanker next time lets sk No no. No just doing it. No just doing that. He's bing any And he's presing me A you deal I have of your skills, think posessitionally I think possessional skills is unbelievable. Honestly, I think it's fit ro box, don't it Don't get me wrong, you will have these deficiencies but I think it's so underrated You ain't get a house Thank them all I think this be guys a genius m. I was able to say I say that you o me I'm really hope I really hope I'm wrong. about did you see that Brighton Rstet in Europe? Harts lost a leag in Union Th lost his j end the season.

I don't know if's a cic th win Theyre did it through the hub field game, it for it the first hal. I kept m man. I was like just get up and get fucking through. Well, it's any and give me one. Hey it's like I was done every fucking day. wentin on the first half I. They think made a massive difference when he went off. Yeah. So he makes such a difference me and he is a good player Buty Davy' just waling you off Marin and Scottrfies S I can text him. Don't you go in the patch? But what I believe you T to it I know I love them, rightate, but spells for the kick his own man What was see check. At the end, massive pressure. Oh. It's got over here, Tuck his foot under about a shirt didn' it? he just never had that. That was my passion for my whole career, man. I've been happy with that. Yeah, I felt for him. As soon as they lost the first contact you're thinking, Oh no Absolutely done. Yeah I don't want the keeper didn't it and then. He's a big boy play. He's a good gul,y. But do you know what comps Netlen See next season see if you go two one up, just a lot of findans just run on. The game will finish. So youve won two one regardless of what minutes own everyveryone payle oneon S half a minute Noot at all.ere D did he blew his whistle? You see? he's coming now and say said did he blew the whistle? I heard that fun. But it was a you say Jo Dstonond N the nuc says it didn't know the game was done. bit No I don't I don't like when any fan runs on. I just don't like it. I prefer you just watch your team celebrate so you can see they can run and take the moment in. But there's one hang running on then what I said to the players, up to players up to the manager and that's disgusting. What that guy that told me's when Oh no. I say me madness. that' is awful. And the fans tun it on own, but sometimes at that moment it just Theres has no excuse. There's not an excuse, but sometimes that moment was that making this No all they've been hold an excuse, but they can up to players and that's just that's not acceptable. Your dad was only the hllipops. He's holding slave up, man. I imagine George running on to sl? G sh in the finger. Hope people've covered thatough for you. I don't know about If your heart's p youure' cracking somebody in there. or that's a sh region you understand? Well, you don't know what that fans ran up to you toit this. Ar's are fans running you? Exactly. You' got no idea what they're gonna to do. You keep saying the coverredidential bring something. No you No, I just I' trying to think u's the best is the best covever that? Basically with our c did that kind season. We cover that as well But you're right, is a probably adit terms of it. I cant remember a season quite like it. Even the fall cut and the Motherwell story What's the biggest story out of those two? I love that good Fit boys prevailed this year. I think you all cooked over McGlenstone M. I think the top Yeah ye Yeah Mhmh Folk Mmorrow have being been the best storory is this season for me Amazing at what you've got' got fore, mother you got Martin Mewil, you D start heart I don't know if I've ever seen footllyall or was it? No,, no one in Scotland. H you? And you may be better actually not the turn of those players though Andre' doing it with best players I know they were really good but the mother world without being disrespectful what the turn he's done in the years Clyde that you play earlier this season when the fals are like boooing like becausecause giving the ball away then when they the head in the m it. crazy. Some think like what Unbelievable. You just kind of get the seat There was a spell in that game and I'd take you sh it and I was like,ell I kind of get the ball from Motherool.. It was like cly kind in Europe man. it was like between the twentieth andute the time So they just kept king the boby everythingvery they got the by That's why I me to say to you Tanette came in Is he ever going see past half time anytim is start? He was woeful though B ites own but when it starts there's been a problem How they seem to have so many players that are getting Rictions coming off a bench? Is it the press of the c ofal I dont know, is it Maybe the opposition are so ti when they can't I just thought I really likeed the money first kind. I saw that. A of quality.. Cant you say this On the Egles thing, this is where I done I get the Egles stuff, right? twenty five million quid and I've seen Eliot Wat and Fidinger pop the bard into them that's And I've also seen Dylan Tate and Brad Spencer are playing Link one to you ago p put the bn in the mid. If you're g mle manager that much much credit you'reing as a genius Even just of the same about the way he coaches and you're saying sil don't have that Maybe that's the reason why. Yeah No I get angles in that m. Even Jewels in that when you look at water and they up against angles, it's like I do But in the bott backle, I don't annglles doing much to be honest, not I don't. I think if've selded get twenty five million cs I havenit it Honest take it. I'll going to be the best better of business that you've ever seen' got H Magan's the same like literally does not hand But I mean, he's got twin go sh I understand that.

It's been appropriateag that long If you covered that as well, think v, let's move one in the come. But that is the even the post but fixures came up When they first came it, that is where we made that case for Celtat is The fixtures are like Hart's ideal for Cel. Obviously Hart's got a Celtic park. you can look at it both ways turned up no idea. because you're goingone aouity p part the last day where you needed a result You happop? Oh there's no There's no hait no. I just feel that you have no g toleton and unmightly enough credit. Why do you want to success? This is an unbelievable achievement what you've done with that group of players. Okay C't fine Iking, especially it'sarting to have a Celtic winning I fortunate it what was always going to be my favor. O obviously, if you've film, I could see that being a bit I don do't know. And the guy Jes him No No, can be taught I just can't see it being a de. as you said, I've sitting now because I've said this for weeks for didn not wantce it being a do. You know what I mean? Who they gave it? I think they win the game. I think they win the game, but I just think my aid is against those. listen, the ph of defenders are good. they're good young players. I just think they'll never face anything like it I think he could actually run right You mither. Yeah. Do I actually think it would be qu I can see it being no no up until late Dty fortth minute. I think she' it w two no or something. I got any deull copies with D done didn't it one hundred percent of high. I a line upee, we'll say D Filminans get so much pace in the back three. No, no the level pace, but that will help them not me. Ths to be a tough, tough afternoon for them. B S to when. Is it still same for Cilic? Go the same toon you start again. I started ton. I justed change the mov. I'veished finished starting in actual, but I don't know if he has better coming on.

So se going in the summer because we keep talking about the rebild that probably most clubs need to do How much for your deculting it to say? Ckeeper. I he uses like good enough I Laker Ten strike isn't it D't have and then rightight now many three life two w else? Is that without them losing anyone? Yeahangs it then mider that was been No Y young's good enough to play right? A competition I say? The forest is signing another yeah, you got three right wingers. B here yourruit.'s one, nobody yangs. B here and recruitment man. You wants a right winger? you wants five w. us see these? What we're talkking about here is me a conversation between us all I don't think it's just getting directed to me what I S it need to put fiveers aren't on this acc countount. You're speaking for the fancyer. No, I' need to put fiveers explers D know I believe. wouldould you say sit out ch again I into that chicken. I def for. Do You think he signs me he would stay I don't think he would. Because he's not played every bit. Yeah Yeah, I think it's hard, like for a player of his age and his quality. I think it's difficult because you know team' going to play. No andin he's done really well to stay fit the season as well. I don't think L think it's easy to keep it He's pes with my d. Tatch you. As boy goes to the school my dad all the pops up. No ide does. to go chooses your raugh all the time. Who your dad who is s actually She's going to droke to laugh for the mom Love that. B that. He's a good guy guy I said. He said my dad said they couldn't have me stin It wass not the sound finking even, is he? I' to I' it. Good to tell yourself.' you have been letting know it's going to be that next year next year Wow, there's an exclusive That's not the perject of s What the school have been informed. Who in this school iss telling a lollipop man who kids are staying going next year H' dadas headed equipment for the school? Ict you got Sat's booy say yeah Yeah I u can about you Tag again, Py Motleu? I think if he wants a job, then se it your game at. Dt ask. Over ask you Iking was him to say B right hang on guys If it was Martin ONeil, I think you dooy what you mean, just for ask you I. Iuc can read e? But I think if it as much thanew, I think they need to bring in our coach. O another one to add to the it S just sit so watch his pappet thro on that fucking laptop, man By the way, he's aggressive on the sidelines. He San Iate, Is it? Yeah Like I've had a couple with him on the sidelines. Yeah, like really aggressive. once when he was at Hibbs and then when we play them Its started park in the game of also chain the scored right at the end The ball went off, one of their players went down with a head knock and the ball came into our dgs I was holding the ball. I think itsenetz he came and said giveive me the ball It's like, your players down behind you, like on the floor' like justust give me ball. I was like, your players down. and then Ill give me the ball,'ll give it back to your team. I looked to my left and then Sean literally came right next to me he's like Son, just giving a ballback. I was like Sicide can you calling S? Yeah. He's a place calling son and And I saw him after he's like, No, I didn't mean that way. I didn't mean be disrespect. I said, But who are you calling Son? Like, wasas he bing his lip when I say that? Tell me you know whatice that at his interview, kept baing his lip. So he needs a coachmart on him? Yeah, I sign Jo off Yeah, signw me off man s place I've into a red card as a manager on the side. You head was gone. What I coach to play me what possession based football or Oh I'm of the belief that Celtic Mans should always have a top coach No Foy and Shaan Maloney have obvious sit done the job tove the league, Based on their CV, would you say their top coaches I would look at them as more up and comoming coaches So I think if they had a top top coach, alongside them, I think it helps tomorow. I'veard Sean's unbievable in theagrasa. That's one thing I haveve heard about it. Kenny Mar says to me before Why don't we have a seene it G it fit on the pictch turn and of the b Was it time to do that? Right? Probably not They probably just thought let's just get ourselves try to go and be as efficient as possibly can be without changing too much Ultimately it's wor for toin the league. I defite agree you. I think in terms of staff, it's a lot easier to implement come the summer, come pre season, first day of preseason. this is what we're doing rather than trying to pick a team back up who was really struggling under the previous manager and looked like they were cut ad drifted. Two mebers T two members up Two cooaches hasnt a lot either. M they've got Stracking as a big McMah is there as well. They're not ding they. Max Max's there because Martin the News there. you' probably go back to what he was doing before, now? That's what it is. He did thatagself. Youin quite when it I'm what only I mate if I can go for it and you're just in quiet drink? I'd like to see at. I've said it before. I'd like to see them play better football than that group of players that they've got I think they've been good it Even sad, I thought it was a real struggle A do you struggle Yeah, D it also about m you Bs, Bagine G book that' stage you Exactly. Okay I changing as long as we clap it up and get it sent it. See whoever see whoever finishes send itross the way belt it. Do you agree that just automatically means they've done the better job. Yeah, right. So these p Rangers for they sell that twice Yeah. We said that this moment in time R's done a better job. N shel it of when the le of course send that' done a better job you like clip. cllip up the t them seeing it and see. call didid you call doing it? Yeahep. No youah, Dadney Nice at. Dinitely J. Balloon He said it to him ex said what, wouldn't he Don't take that credit I know how talk about. I think I'd say so too at one point. R the sc. just couldn't believe he's fought that? Roll a head down know. just couldn't believe it Just like how m that Martin Neil Cubbe's last ging as Leny asill? I know. That's what makes a fit an end for him. can't I can't see him wanting it next season. I really really kind't. Why know M just because the age thing. Yeah, I just think it takes so much energy. I think he's came in, he's saving this season. What a way to go out otentally with a double if be done firment, I just think it's just bit in fred to say, all right, last me done Unto the next one What Len if you spoke about what Lenny did Jink you s set off of the game sort of something to do. I probably the counter Yeahes very goodes very good at that. He's very good at coaching that la. Yeah. And I don't I don't think they'll have a chance to win in it, but I can see it being tight theim you think Is he got a goalkee Be back I honestly think it's going be like a elt it Yeahah. But aful notelt it. Yeah, I'm thinking like that's scoreing for. Wow. Lenny done a good job at filming the show? Oh, brilliant. Honestly. Brilliant. I think he's changed so much as a manager as well from Even just being an arounded nowth compared to what we had terms of Hibory is a bit more fiery I think he's got the most out of those players N one even expects him to be in the playoffs. I know unfortunately lose to partartic in that game He's getting to the Scotish Cup fininal as well, the job he's done, the credit he deserves and makes some big calls by by Benedict's just coming out and Hamilton, two experienced players as he's on. I've playid the younger boys. he's done a magnificent job. He does look more ch child on his say, doesn't? I watched the game for. This must be strongerough. must be stronger the Lvingoy S snooch. I saw in it. By the way, talking to taking someone's snoose say this quick. I remember were at Hibbs and shock I was on the bench and game was going on. he's like, come he said and he's like Go and get fucking been stokes. he's going to get his fucking snoos. Look becausecause lady ran out of snoos and the boys are like, what? D you the g? Yeah, G and get his fucking snoos. So one of the boys goes in, comes back out Gives Lenny the snoose, Lenny's doing whatever he's doing with it. A again, what's sh with Stoky? Stoesy comes in to check his thing It' empty' be hard man, but even in one bit. Rank you'll get state in film next year you' get off a biger job. You should get offered a bigger job S man to be an a beer I think for something to get lining in there they could good do't know Is that a biger job than them family you think? do you stuff they've got it? It depends a c, I suppose that? Yeah But he seems to be buying what they're doing. He thinks they've got a big project going, a lot of ambition so It just amazes me that clubs haven' they tried. Is it only some man we can think in top like who go from other jobs? Ive do other jobs are quite secure I've always thought I learn it had and done United did be a good fit I good when I went. I think you could get aunit and United. Pably like have them punching above their bit Yeah You never know who's going Sleeping giant the and un United. Bait word, sleeping giant,t I was how for they became dead Rubber L you hate that? That saye I h to dead rubber. I likeate that. It was a couple of them yesday All three of those games with dead Rubbers, weren't? I know how was that how were they three games on the last game this season? I know. They should have been on a Saturday or the top six on a Saturday. I never understood that. Fox came up with that. neverever understood why I stood that way around. We didn't know my can done broke me on there?. Did it jump? They actually play good stuff as well,udg?

So they' been a trav that was a d the weekend. A d. A lesson. I think it was right to go and sit behind the ball the time and that's a mentality bring out your player. I do think we need to benled but I do think we need to be careful we but Would they criticise David Gre asing when we' gain ask you this amount of credit. he's a genius in that and Harts have had the best season in a long time. Has it been that bad season forabs? Should they be done better, do you think? Well that's us about I think a big part of the narrativeays don't it who R Hearts have done. Habbs's main disappointment has probably been the Cups, I'd say because you look at it Mother way we willll submitt in fol cook all win cup runs. I I stay up plan and if you have his point of view, I don't think Hubbss fans will be happy with it personally. I think Hs are almost renowned for the type of football they play and have been over the last kind of decade or so Uh well is Asia I genuinely do think This is the best squad that individuals hubs have had since probably the squad you had Yeah. And then M you can Sott Iland know these boys. I think that individually this is probablyrobably the best squad since then And I don't think they play I don't think they play great football, I must admit. Thould Hubs we we asked this last week, shouldould Hubs were the players that they've got the money they've spent be going to falk can only have them thirty percent position No, and I think that's something that will change over the summer. Deinitely I think you lot are right in terms of what the fans want. I think Dave will change in terms of the style that they do play The budget they do have now is spending on a lot of money and you're probably not seeing that all the time on the pitch. I think you'd be disappointed with the game against Motherwell because evenven with ten men, they couldn't get close to anotherother way, which is a huge problem when you're spending that amount of money. So gain you's talk about full cut game, that shouldn't be happening. shouldn't going a away?.re're good enough to coach that Mth? I don't know. C you can you coach that? I don't think you st I's to dominant the ball and don't feel what feel that. I think get It's not always I think get good players into certain areas of the pitch and ultimately it's down to them in terms of final third It's all about. I get it having a structure in the defensive third and the middle third but I think they' will give probably a little bit more freedom in the final third now and whether they changed to a back four, which people have been calling for as well I think they've got the money to go and recruit the players that they need to fit into those kind of roles,. I just hate a back three. Yeah about. In terms of what we played a back threeree and it's interesting that some people What makes a leader worth following? What should you really care about in your job as technology is changing so quickly? Is it just gonna be about machines, talking to other machines? I mean, should you quit your job and start something on your own? What would that take? What does success and risk look like when we're all at the starting gate together?

From the goals of Mgory to the politics and the problems of the World Cup, if you want soccer analysis from a podcast that's been over analyysing the game for more than twenty years, then this is it. Join me, Max Rushton, and our expert team of soccer journalists every day of the tournament, can England end sixty years have hurt? or will this be another year of falling just short Probably World Cup Daily, listen wherever you get your podcasts, or watch full episodes on YouTube say they hate it in terms of what?h the only time I've played a backack you that actually enjoyed it was at hearts because your wing backacks will literally winers. Yeah W she just your kind of generic back three, which I think that Hab's almost got to an extent of passastlack's a right back and Jon Nobbat is a left back I just haven't I just don't think it's right for Hubbs' team Now they finished h last year and they've actually accumulated more points this year. so he's not done a terrible job not saying that, but I just don't think that that's sad. I stay up associate with hips. I think they collapse into a five. Again, when you're playing against the teams very, very quickly. Yeah when you can get three your players at the top end to make them go into a f, which again causes that problem. And something that we try to change is if they're attacking down one side, then your left wing backatle will just coming in as a midfielder. It's the only ever a back for. Always key on that but I get what you're saying And see seeming they're on the boma, for me, it's like they want to try and find like a balis or a new whoever's in that position. They want to try and find him on a pose to look up and literally just have to switch up way across balls in the box Tif he's known Youust spend the boy in chan for two strikers they want? Well Yeah. And then she last back to one. See, yesterday I thought it was satur this, I thought it was a clinic an absolute clinic again. couldould have a b he'n get a b I mean first half could easily be toooth you know easy in asort of say Again, these things, I know we' analyzed Mm That's how goes and these things don't really matter because of the end of day they m they will win the game but the second goal get this l our ees are just never admitt it. Just staing actually a goal found a shocking decision.ee you can clearly see the goal is just again scared to catch it like every goal in the world now Kys to punch me under his bar. doeses he get a good punch on it and then he start claiming atreing the GFL for I should have been to say way before Hs ne a co I would you say something I donount neil you Dave? maybe need the coach or now Math An I don't know who to qu she's. got Lam? Liam Craig here and Eddie's there as well Again, I think it's slightly said because it worked last season in terms of where they finish in the league I think D they would probably been silly to rip that whole thing up. but like you said, seeing how Motherworth done it this season, obbviously hearts the way that they've played at times this season as well. I do think you'll see a shift in terms of what Hips do over the summer. Dinitely Right, Will Y ends be at Mon next year? yes I no. No No Unfortunately no. And do you know why? I'd love to seeing House team in Europe? I'd love to see him take M out to Europe. B You know, amazing. Maybe you don't want to go into that modjob after time. No, you cannot. You can't take that N you could take that me. But if you just go manag this play you'll be good as well Hey don't just doon have I manag a for yearss Maybe should take it? Clon D Clarison. I just hope they can hold on as many players as they can as well because I get it, L it's obviously an easy job to go in after him, but He's leaving a but I'tp you know what I mean? So it' still apping that this bit. but if he leaves And the sale Eliz are just to wand the mas when he saying S of those like They all go what's then. I think they've gone. Yeah, they've gone. What's it like a manander if you have a season like that That's why people got screding the same people, isn't? The club deserves so much credit as well, So got so many clubs in Scotland are just the same people, the same people outside the box were whimmer done well, went and got ask you it's a boy kirk, isn't it? And I think they'll do the same again, which is good go didn't it N Lena a manager that's got a certain philosoph, a certain type of philosopy, obviously they've tried to go with that.' forward thinking though isn't like you said we've seen in Scotland like so many times it's like will get rid of a manager and I have no idea what's next.ike they deserve huge credit for that. And by the way, sticking with it because it wasn't easy at the start and you know, giving them obviously the confidence and know keep playing and doing what you're doing and they get the just rewards at thees I'm delighted that Motherell As much as it hurts hips in terms of finishing and fth was a minimum that I wanted Motherwell to finish because just the way they've gone about their business this season. Do you believe that every player in Scotland are capable of playing football in that other coach Tuffle I think my will shown that I really, really do before the season, probably not, but ultimately ain it's one of those things. if you get the ball and you know where three options are going to be, then almost every player is good enough to do that, especially in a top flight. I think that when you watch Motherw,'s always like everyone knows where the next pass is if that pass on where the next pass is going to be. And one thing you noticice about them massively when we played against them. so many players are willing to run forward without the ball. the run And I know they're not going to get it. They're going run forward maybe nine or ten times and touch the ball maybe twice, but they open up the placeace to somebody else That unselfish running theyre doing is like is unbelievable. That's down to the lads doing it, by the way, because Certain players that I might running for for you to get on the ball. you know what I mean, I'm going to come towards the ball. They're brilliant. Brilliant to watch Brilliant to try and manage against No they were excellent in see. seing the bys wideer two sentiments get over at that side of the ball so quick and Ts over as well. justust create over that's the that's the goal. For look for the g only go watch it back. Maria Lon Gelo gets in an area, but every club in the leag iss going toross it But we then bring it all the way across to create an overload, find like the buy line basically. Yeah. Cookie obviously cuts it back to Lucas chops set it. obviously gets that we bat, Rash here, we bat a lot and then left itot finished. Lucas easily the most underrated play. No he's beenown easily. He can run like fuckking he's isn't it? rememember this h to go McKillen? Wellelc comes to Mc Karein. if I're not setitt in the fielder and shot for a bounce of off and mother willll get fucking full over that situation. They're so good at dinity. I cannot remember I watched a full game, I can't remember Hub' chance. likeike I can't remember Hubbs's chance in the game. Jinna? Well D you watch it? Yeah, I watched the game. I trying of think of an opportunity that they did have Maybe battleim for Parkking O se, memember. Yeah schools ha really got sent off. Jen you Stay in Scotland a path on and he's going go Well that's what I will say from a selfish point of view obviously I hope there's no celtic, but I'd rather have stayed in Scotland than went elsewhere Definitely ' it again I think it have to be cic I think it's probably done an. Yeah. He had something he felt n he felt no, no, no, that's just that's just My guess, I would think that that's done. I had that the yos good. 's father D Ellen But then well like you said me the head interviews on Saturday I would suest that M as Mat on News job if you wantn't He probably don't know that he ends a go. I callool manager. m. The two of them happ and. But A't you could beough say I think I don't know if you can miss this chance for this guy. No, I don't think you can How would you feel if Martin knew what's like that job and then Jen's got the Rangers job you want it. All right They'd they'd be like upd R rangers wouldn't they I work M be hk because the guy only had one handan for windnder but. I don't Rosey Anne S sumit. I don't I really don't, You know that I don't Well, let's just go straight on oring. So you're saying there's no the answer? I don't think so. Why I'm I don't know what they're trying to do I think I'm entirely you can throw out the players you like, but Matlin he was showing that He's brought that. He's only had one transfer window P I head to came in late in January I am I just don't think Diarose's got that sighting it beringers. C can put I agree I think mentality is always brandish up whs, but it starts with it starts with staff. Yeah Beful. The other the ones that setit standard every day. he's talkking about culture, shot d' a cultureal., shoot son it shoot. D deemands for the culture and it's up to the person to dive it I think manager drives ably. I honestly do think a manager drives it because I think can't come off of it. E single day you have to be making sure whatever it is that you want done. And I think culture is absolutely mive. that's something we spoke about. even being at Livensston, obviously, Rangers a huge club But I feel that comes from the manager and the coach and stuff. I think it this you that has to drive that and see if players don't fall into line and then they're done And that was one of the first things we said to the players. I imagine daning roll was the same. If you don't do it the way that we wanted it done. then you it to be part of it. It's thats simple. everyone falls into life. S he on that he's been criticed for the TA thing. Is that no part of set in a culture where he's made a decision Tvess no it and he's That's terrific. It's the way he's met have bit it's We talked about dead roubbers, Rangers couldn't move anywhere. 've been there for eleven years I think that causes you massive, massive problems with in that dressing room now. And I do think that's irreversible for some of the players. becauseltimately if you're looking then James Havenan has been there for eleven years You've been there for three or four years. I'm looking at you as a manager and I'm thin I'm not sure about you at all. If you can do that to somebody when there was listen, if they were going for the championship and it was like the last game of season like it was Harts V Celtic and it was Ranger be Celic. I understand it. play play your best eleven. do that to a man that's been there for eleven years now for me, I think you lose a lot of dress. You see this sort of decision does that make you think he has he's deb? U I think it's just a combination of it that makes you doubt whether he's a right man for the joob, but it's the way the that thing went about but she she found the Monday Ts Tavy's no plane. You come in the last thirty minutes then I'm not saying he'll be happy about it, but you can understand it but it' K Sen your plane Ask them to postpone an injection that you're supposed to get in the Tuesday Postpone that and Thursday. So put your body at risk when you've not got a club yet play in this game. Kids going, ye under twelve tournam in the hall and pull him out of that so he can walk on me his dad for the last time and then four at nine oclock at that night and now I've changed our mind and point. that's so bad, Mis. I think it's the man who's trying to stamp his authority in the wrong way. Yeah. I do think it's probably one of them that he's thinking Is he beginning to lose a couple of the players for whatever is or the players falling out a line in terms of the culture and stuff and saying now I'm to show you that I'm in control of this and he's just done it the totally wrong way. I think regardless of what he says now I think if he could look back it would change his mind if he' go back in time. Let's you w way made up. He's talking about mcommunication So like miscommunication, right we can already see what side the players have said to be because you look at the reaction they tab on Instagram orud the players. Jeddy Gasama w up to down with C chefay Dan Rangls. The first thing Jeddy Gasamma does when he gos hadays does have celebrations. Yeah I mean so it's like you just know straight away And what that drove me mad recently is like Hating the hating the question getting asked about the player' mentality and the squad' mentality is not a mentality Andrew Kavana does a thing yesterday and says it talked about mentality T change your mentality. Mikey Mewill was eighteen Diny's press conference talking about the mentality of the squad. So everyone h his mentality except for him He's thereful checking your likes every two minutesaning on it R just Just signed him. Oh as a manager I wors fe. So mentality is a big problem and then also styl of likeike. Josh Vindas was in Gross with Frid and I was like Ys I think you with Danny Roll. think he's like me, I can of believe what I'm watching But he ass is that He said the same. he's like being atrecks from the arrangers, he's like, it's so chilled. L you could get beat for now, you get clapped off, like no every decision you makeakes getting fucking scrutinized. He's like it's obviously like the job because he said as well, he's like, evenven guys that have spoken to since Russell Martin left, he's like Everyone sees Russell Martams fucking talk bye This isn't the job just must be do much for these guys But their performance since the split has been absolutely embarrassing. I think the players are a lot better than what they're showing History was absolutely off. I know the players need to take blame as well, but actually they've got a good squad rangers and he's getting I know we got them back in, but He's nutting hit them in that That splat was just E w it. What do you make how have you play it when you play an instone? I think in game was probably the biggest thing for them that they don't really adjust. That's what we had seen, you know, leading up to the games. Obviously they were going with that for two, two, two kind of formation And again, we looked at Rangers reaction. I think you saw it in the game against Hibbs where they lose the ball think Fernandez and doesn't even try and break a leg can't get back in. We realized that if we turn the ball over that a lot of them don't recover And that wass the biggest thing for us. We said, if we can get them in a counter attack, you can penetrate right through the middle players were failing to recover back into a shape quickly and You know, we get a goal from doing exactly that. Um So yeah, it was one of them that I do think if we kept up with eleven players, we would actually won that game, which is crazy to say we' btom the league range of ching in the title, but we didn't actually fear them, especially at home. And see that M right peopleople put that players so like the entire players look at them trying to cover back in, G watch Mallyway. Go watch Malllyway when a pass goes to them, I'm telling you that'sro off for the manager. That's no the players. O one hundred percent got. Tand mash when he se his biggest improvement Evenough scored that mag go.'s been off the ball under this last manager compared to previously. you have to do it. That's why like you say, the manager makes you do it. seeee if you don't do it, you don't play it it's that simple. There's no grreay areas You're right?. st it's down to the manager driving that to make sure the players are doing it. So if you don't do it, don't care who you are your reputation. You just won't be involved. This one obviously going way back right, but any of it go watch Martin Boyles first goal ieBooks. J be there after five minutes. So you're no tired. It's not being tired. G watch Rangers. Reaction you get back in position, get back into shape. It's honestly it's mental Chy,' got that or where you would hang on his every word and you'd be terrified You don't know unless you're there, but you can't see it you can't. P if you don't have that aura, you can do it with the decisions you make. see if you're not running than Andy plays. No no matter who you are, and all of a sudden, you're going to everyone wants to play football. You've got the keys to everyone's happiness in terms of they want to play on a Saturday. so if you don't run, if you don't do this, then I won't involve you. And you see on the press ask you, why sign not playing? Because's refusing to do what I wanted to do in terms of off the ball. Here he told me, you complimentself S. was Sanna You told meify that. Now, you're spot me. It has to comp for manager, doesn't it Maybe I people in my house because you want one window but Gardener He should absolutely nothing to keep that job And they keep changing it. That's the other side of it. I think you can't do m to get a right guy, you know? Why would you continendue with something that doesn't seem like it's going to up until it's split Was W he the right guy? St I know you're debating the way they're playing and they finse, but I still think preseason is absolutely massive in terms of what you want players to do. I think it's really, really hard. We've even heard Ange talk about it. he won't go into another team during the season because trying to flip what they've been doing to what he wants them to do. far too difficult. I'm not surprised at all that they're going to stick with him. But Do do you think we will share a totally different style for Dan or do we need we need to see a different st? Yeah, I think it'd be a lot slicker in terms of what he wants to do I really, really do. I just think pre season is massive to see and guess what? if they start the season the same way as've ended this one in terms of the same style when they look Lethargic at times and I think then you can definitely put it on the manager, but I just think just to change him now because he's not made that instant impact. Well, he did make the instant impact. The last four or five games haven't gone away way they want them to be. I think that would be a knee jerk definitely. There's the fact he' eight points bain set when he first came in and then he finished ten point in the man. sort fo finished those those four defats. isn't it post split? Yeah likeike whereere were they You know, before that, everyone was saying it was Hartsw or Rangers to win the league. It's had a really, really poor post split for me. it That shell took heart's game the two guys in the dug it You talk about the mentality and how to get there and how they to get unt the last minute and you'll look at the markark and you will shout it Dad it because it's a hox I don't see I don't see that foro. I just don't So you talk about that or at to be at a manager of their clubs. That's the one thing I'm questioning On top of a st I've said that even when they went ten game w runs, whatever thought it was eight game win and runs, I just I think it was sustainable. I the control games. Enough that you should if you've got that squadon you at that club Would you take down? I you go Asking and Da would be derri be one for get like ask good dell R Dgo, I kn it That on Do you know? No I said one if you thinkin the new may have be his best ch. He's turned it doing in a was the scenario than this one. That's in a scenario, I mean. We're doing in a better the club's in a state more stable position now for it to take it out. Look at hearts Aberdim and he turned it them in me Aberdim. But the amount of money though he could spend around his' good for equument now what I mean? Do you agree that bit the Scottish courourt as well. orangers fans saying they need more Scottish players in there? you agree with that? I think you any players who understand it. I definitely think even if you' not Scottish like British players who understand, I think the football is so, so different. Even coming down from England up to Scotland it is so different So I do think you need those core players and also I think they drive What it means I think you look at Celtic, they've got players within there that drive every day what we spoke about with Cadlein MGregor and stuff. what it means. I think you need the same any top team to achieve anything in this in this league. I think it's so important to have types of p that act in your squad. when it's like leaders experience, nobody's about to get that Who are they players? Do you what I mean? C Rangers going in and buy plays of one Lagsm they And I've said that with St Stehven Gerald's very first wind Rangers was Alr McGregor, Stephen Davis, Scottarfield, Tmenda four like no brainers, who's they no brainers now Book could I don't get him. He's like there's none. You you know what I mean? So it was just be being testing who he identifies that because one of them. One of them is probably Kenny McLean, who's been linked for the last three seasons likeike thirty Iin thirty five know Ky Mclinn? There's not really many you can kind of point to that and say I don't get him Noy bundy But they need to spend a fortune from them th. hch on it S it leave from it. Yeah. evenven his head has he's top fif.ew on world he' been proble it. Yeah' see in other one. see if he had manager that really pushed him and demanded off him, you could see Timmy being a top plan now. Yeah. He second Kphiditus. Oh my go. twenty one years of age as well. likeike he's a number nine for them the next season defeinitely. Did you let you s go But what was it again? The chase in the volly s. Well, Jack and I watched the gv In Chinese show' it g me that He's unreal. Even if he sells it like a billy trusty last week Yeahah, then he's got to say these gamees is real Iook they read a portter of his pen and's hand'sad. He's ready the end. Why do he'ay not the cuts why himself. What Any else from no covered for people?? I just figured out lot. I think New McCan we did see himlier. Fily cutter is incredible. Well up front forg go' good place s January it was unbelievable. We had to get him f go was it Barney? came from a M man, youre it didn't he as a kid ' because he lost John Jules well. you thought it'd be a massive massive blow for them Neil McCahan's job' done there has been unbelievable. Really, really has. He guys like Neil McCann and that he's passion for football on the side of the pitch. I love it, man. He'soining player cycount energy in that team. and they played like tack they They played tack football on under him as well. Yeah. Curtis is a joke, man. A fire high. Re Absolutely. it. You want to pull on my d right No at foringers who's Micaking me is getting out of, but he's better than Sccovolson and Gassamma. I get the point obviously been before Sccov Holson comes in, you're going it's easy in hindsight you say that Yeah. you' have played Scvolson I thought you pron it vrangees the stl this season the boy Maybe should' have been, but maybe it's the best thing for H clear play that many games Last podcast this season this end of season don't go Wwards Math. Let' us do it, Math. Yeah. You're a severe disadvantage ye, because We've had couple h to plan for this at least He's good d what? I.

Hi I mean, I was leag and's He never won himself. If it wasn't for him, I can' score twenty it one goals. If it wasn't for me this s sett up when I win a leag, D you believe that? If wasn't for Brag I ha'tilt up when Iving been talked league for that amount of time. That's wouldn't have been her The what? If it wasn't for Bager Harts when had been that? No, but I'm saying about Ma, if it wasn't for him, they don't win a leak. drink' play you. You not play of yes, lady You did use L de. I'm going Sank Clint Just but Iga. Well Ive went myida, Just Bagger. Win a legal camp for then team that wins Lgment playersn't that? I but he's poor for six months. They boys have had great seasason. you'll no counting in for winning then No, it's an individual performance we're talking' it? It's no two too big perform. doesn't they drive you to that title I can't believe you getting in play of you Mark, come on I'll pretty a good Nigrin Third, the amount of goals that he scored for Celtic raga and then I'll probably play just J B. My favorite player Slide cal slide. What a lovegh Love you watch you play football or they better contract Hie Takeaking my sic. I would take him at selling Would you? Squads play a hundred percent me Right, here we go Top threeree managers As for free. Mart and do. I magesting the whole last?. I want you go 'cause I know what you're going to say. Del number two, Mountain no number bine. That's fine Yeah That's mine. I've when Yens three. O to there one. Why they haveving malenial? Because It' fun me, it's just a much bigger achievement win. I mean Celtics know that's big. No, that's big underdogg show that you keep meing. But Martinneil's thirteen points clear a deal. doesn't they matter It must matter on and his's under de was the other fth season. The fact that he had tarts top a leeague for two and fifty days is' incredible That's biger to take club in Celtic winning. that was a message to two clubs but only the manager of the year, Martin Neil must win at thirteen points clear a deal Well, well listen, if Sed don't get the penalty that they shouldn't have got at for a park Dereit Mcis gets the head. should go for a park, but there's loads of then hearts get the other decision through the whole season. They't even in that position. so we could go fight back toiffin Nil. but this is over the last two, three weeks if Dere throughroughout the season, if you cany Dert when Matose thirteen points ahead of him. That's in a different level. But that's my that's my Well, why why have you not get down all ahead of yents Why if you' get that do I had the ends been over a league but he's gi me a punch in ys since he came in. I' bet beens are a much bigger club than Well sh do I bag a cub nut 's never been the league withough done know. but Mountlanders wonder you got thirteen more points I know but Matiny' won the league so that's why he's shooting it, which is why he's got it at my top for me. Whichs why I've actually put my head in you. I don't how can deal a head of Matly Neil. Myart's finished seven last year. There've no win the league in fours four I' gets the final decision. But it's of me. Oh, I've got a big boy pat time. I'll move you. Y and dough, M I don't know. I But I can understand you what Dael's done at Hearts is unbelievable. I just think What Martt and' Neill turned around said to me that they were absolutely done.. Absolutely done. Matt Neil managed the young niessite to give me a job of It's about the end Not the endsah. under you' right And play in that league You could' have won a trirouble. It was difficult. You would be w a trible, weren't? He without herur. I that was none to my. Boly. Oh Lis' want to talk for disappointance of the year and we've excluded Russell Martlin nonsick because it's just I'd be in everyone's. One has sexual performance Right out there. So me you stop? I feel it why I means it's harsh but Acean's got as well under there I've went IDF for hearts three Because everyone says he's like I mean, Denn Mcin basically s he's one of the best plays' ever seen in terms of his signings. It could have been a difference, but why start O season Cunicate yourself that best abilityities have aailility it Mm T's my three. Number two cast for Smichael. G one. Michael stays and goes the'an to like dt it. I take him go He burns as his sin asll You know that scen is th no? Yes Sena' house to go it myother real, Dar. So would you have kick us from m a Lek? I'd kept him M her Fanterestic. One scub of ocean I think I said that and I'm sure people would could eat that you felt as if sc of ocean could have been a difference to anotheraking who was ilper I'm going go three Jamestown I think if they had to go out the signings it'd be a bit better. they were doing those gamst I't think how many did they get right? minutes away for fun Leag? How many did they get right? I know but that had notone to do with the what braga Kesi this was nice where they came for though They two the. that's what I'm saying they've signed it bit for about eight or nine. I guess disappointment no. I thought it'd be better. I thought they bring a better place fit. The best players the should of O B boys up with ever. It's the first time in know in years is Finy, Howkat, Beningame, Devlin Shank Clland being the best pler M bger Bra But' I'm saying you got two it didn't you bragging becauseuse he did this Fobby be for how it was talked up. Not I can see a point. I wouldn' say it's in the top three biggest disappointments, but I did Like loads of people are tght, I don't think it's been as big this year but people have made it A should be the ficture. could calluse it a controversial or not. But did you know? I thought every player was going to be bant It's not been like that Like how it's going to brighten and how it'sed to brighten, it's been a lot bit better than what house for Hearts, I think. Nothing Noah J's been b. I just look at Brago, what they've paid for him and what the potentially they could sell him for in the season Aal is almost Win in the league, I But Marfelide the braga Kizerid this Ngoli jink has been exceptional. But I think that's like three How many for nine or ten? No, I you've never them. I think they've seen a bit I might' have seen at least double figles this year Th year to twelve for a someit is meant to be this unbelievable thing. Wh who's recruitment would you say has been better in No even worse to her That's only because I was expecting so much for it I wasn't expecting it I argued a few weeks ago He Hanks Hbbsy's workment has been better than h is, has you? I just stand on that in terms of hope No. Look at That's what was it about? Chiwa. Mulligan, Chiwa. whoose other ones? Andold Heold in Gally good. I think they've been more players you' probably say been like a seven or eight for the but I think like Brag and Kazeridas, especially Kazeridas the way he was in Brague, I think it just takes him I think if you're saying how many got more that have been more than a six out of ten, I think you could say here is but I think What Brag has done and how close he's taken to the title, I think their recruitment definitely swallow it on what I've think them last yearight. Well' being b. M number' got to go Martin and Nan say, but you know what has to go that there? No, I can't. It's just. They're the biggest standandator. that is fucking wild. Anyone else to for anything else want to go Minees is a Habs getting up toated and filming. Chalker. Absolutely shocker. Number two Celtitiess recritment does ' a huge disappointment and then number number one Aboting is a fish shop, a total waste of time at Mob second thought it's the t that more. Well How many at a lot of them? You would you put that appointment in Stehen Oobbinon included in there? I think they've got that al right I don't know if I've got that right, mayaybe be honest But that whole leading up to him, what was that about waited for months because've got him if they really wanted him, then they wanted him. They brought a guy in to get it someombodyay sort And ye abroad, that didn't work. Then they just met to Stevie Robinson. That was a tot mess but Yet to see if that'll be Lake the sision on them W you put that? get it sh G get it shit her? You put itab with the you man I I din and then ocean's got to be up there, han't? how people spoke of it Olceenly Y they thought a superstar was coming to Scotland M And he's been dog shappe. I'd lo in Audy So they obviously have the That's it option to buy at the end of the season I bet his actual loan fee for the six months is Yeah fortune. But ye I bet was a two million qu. I know you have you had the have you has'ending? No, I generally have that. And didn't add to that disappointment mouth et tld onm getting the job and then the goal. I's not I you I you B And last but not least, top three guests of the season because we said we'd exc good Mathth. Ill bet we one ar fr. M, you're good, mate. You're very good
