We might be in full World Cup build up excitement, but UEFA are already looking beyond the summer to another Nations League campaign. Scotland, back in League B, have been drawn with Switzerland, Slovenia and North Macedonia.John got together with Cammy, Daris and Krys to discuss the ups and downs of the draw. Which sounds like a good trip? How can Scotland perform and where will we finish? How does that look in terms of Euro 2028 qualifying and even World Cup 2030 qualifying? And, of course, what might happen to the squad and coaching staff after Andy Robertson lifts the trophy in New Jersey on July 19th?Thanks as always for listening.

In the latest instalment of our World Cup countdown, John is joined by Off The Ball co-host Tam Cowan.Tam goes through his most fond memories following Scotland on the World's biggest stage from the first one he watched in '78, through to being in France with Off The Ball. From toast with beans and sausages at half time for the Holland match in Argentina, through window cleaning for a pound per door in '86, to having a pee next to Pele at the Stade de France in '98, Tam shares his unique World Cup tale for us all, and why the Tartan Army should ignore politics when it comes to this years finals.Thanks as always for listening.

Dundee - the manager who was written off before he'd even started, still going strong despite outlasting half the league at this point.St Mirren - silverware already in the cabinet, are they now coasting too much in the league?Kilmarnock - a first win since October, is it signs of improvement for Neil McCann's side?Livingston - someone there attended the David Murray/Dick Advocaat school of sackings.It's the bottom four in the Premiership and yet there's cause for optimism and positivity for almost all!Thanks as always for listening.

We're kicking off our countdown to the 2026 World Cup by looking back to an era where Scotland were regulars on the world's greatest stage, qualifying for six out of seven finals between 1974 and 1998. For this episode, John has drafted in entertainer Grant Stott, match announcer Graeme Easton and Famous Tartan Magazine Editor Iain Emerson, all kids in the 70's, alongside SFF regular Erin who was still in single digits when Scotland were last at the finals. They were tasked with ranking the official (and one unofficial) Scotland World Cup singles and the home kits worn at each of the tournaments.From Easy Easy to Del Amitri, through Ally's Army and We Have A Dream to Big Trip to Mexico and Say it With Pride, coupled with the evolution of the Umbro kits, there are varied opinions and great stories from the panel, who also give their views on the ideal World Cup artist(s) for 2026.We'd also love to hear what you think, so leave your comments, share on Social Media, and let us know what songs make your playlist

Hibernian - where possibly the only thing left of the season is hoping Hearts can be stopped and maybe even finishing tenth would be preferable.Falkirk - the high flying newcomers to the Premiership are now dreaming of Europe as the McGlynn Machine rolls on.Dundee United - is Jim Goodwin under pressure to do something this season whilst not really in danger of anything bad happening and is that too many scars of the last decade?Aberdeen - the almost annual new year hunt for a new manager is in full swing again, the cup win a distant memory but the defence goes on for now.It's the middle four in the Premiership and it's a mixture of positive and negative as you'd expect.Thanks as always for listening.

We interrupt these mid-season reviews of the Premiership to bring you an interview with a very special guest!Charlie and Laurie sat down with Scottish Football legend Mixu Paatelainen to chat about his career in Scotland, both playing and managing.

Hearts - A winger from mid table Slovakia, an incredible Freddie mercury inspired chant and a Leicester city potential season.Rangers - Swimming in Loch Lomond with the worst manager in their history and a director working 25/8 to somehow clawing back a league challenge from the abyss.Celtic - Brendan Rodgers doing a midnight flit again, the Celtic board reversing the years 2 decades, then somehow hiring a manager who managed more Loch Lomond level events in half the time.Motherwell - some how transforming into Brazil 1970.That's the top 4, it's only January and we've still got nearly 20 games of football.Ladies and gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts.Thanks as always for listening.

It's the busy festive period, but while many of us are frantically rushing around trying to organise things at the last minute again, Dave has stepped up with two cracking interviews for you this week.First up is Kevin Lynch from the North East Tartan Army to talk about what a year it's been from his perspective, as well as the upcoming 10th anniversary of NETA. Let's face it, no one is getting tired of talking about Scotland qualifying for the World Cup! Kevin also chats about just some of the charity events being run and the hopes for council fan zones come World Cup time.Then we have Oliver Kennedy, St Johnstone and Scotland fan as well as journalist for the Gaudie student newspaper in Aberdeen, clearly another happy man as far as the football goes at the moment! Oliver had a couple of technical issues while recording this, for which we can only apologise and hope it doesn't interfere with your enjoyment of this podcast.Thanks as always for listening.

Danny returns to hosting duty once more to bring you all the latest from the Championship capers. While his own St Johnstone are flying high, he's joined by David and Katie whose own teams, Queen's Park and Airdrie respectively, aren't having much luck at the other end of the table.Still, could be worse, could be Ross County fans.They discuss all the latest goings on, including the sacking of Tony Docherty following County's 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Raith Rovers at the weekend. Will the former favourites to win the Championship turn things around and avoid relegation to League One? There's a long way to go yet, but plenty to chat about!Thanks as always for listening.

As Scotland gets battered by another storm, the football tries its best to continue on regardless - with mixed results in the KDM Evolution Trophy... or the Scottish Challenge Cup once you blow away the sponsorship.Josh hosts the latest podcast, and he's joined by Charlie, Daris, Graeme and Krys to chat not only about the weather related stories from the midweek cup fixtures, but also to look back on the weekend's action.The top of the table clash at Celtic Park went the way of the visitors, so questions are once again asked as to whether Hearts can end the Glasgow stranglehold on the title as well as the far more important question of whether or not the wind can blow away wee magnets.How many teams are in this title race anyway? Two? Three? Four? Five? The next few weeks will no doubt breeze through and make the picture a little clearer.The guys also touch on the World Cup draw once more, looking in detail at Scotland chances of finally getting out of the group stage at the ninth time of asking, and

We know the draw, and now we know where Scotland are going to be playing their World Cup games. Brazil in Miami on the third matchday follows Haiti and Morocco in Boston, and John B got in touch with Scottish commentator Derek Rae, who happens to reside in the Massachusetts city.Lightning has struck twice for Derek as the Euro's also welcomed the Scots in his German residence of Cologne, and he confidently predicts that Boston will have as big an impact on the Tartan Army as Cologne did. Derek gives his insight into the best hotspots in the city, the best areas for TA congregation, and very useful tips on getting to the stadium so pay attention. He finishes up by giving his thoughts on Scotland's chances, and two players who he's seen at close quarters that should be considered for Steve Clarke's squad. The podcast finishes up with the thoughts of the three other home nations who featured in the draw. 3 Lions podcast host Russell Osbourne takes a look at England's chances, which didn't

It was a day we had waited 28 years for, a World Cup draw featuring Scotland (and not via the UEFA playoff route like 2022 that ended in failure). Lo and behold, the draw gave us two of the same teams we faced at France ‘98 plus an unknown quantity from our viewpoint.John Bleasdale got reaction from the draw event at Barras Art And Design organised by Gully Singh and features interviews with Gully, Gordon Sheach, Blair McNally, Craig Ferguson and SFF’s new kid on the block Daris, who took time from his busy media schedule to speak to us. We also got reaction from some of the regular SFF team along with some past guests and contributors.Check out our socials for more content and we aim to bring more World Cup specials between now and the big kick off in June 2026. Bring it on!Thanks for listening and to everyone who has given us feedback on our recent episodes.

In the wake of the new that John has stepped down from the podcast after 15 years, for which we thank him and wish him well on his new venture, Graeme's back hosting and is joined by Cammy and Daris in a bit more of a depleted lineup than last week's Scotland celebrations.Speaking of which, the guys discuss whether or not Harvey Barnes should be considered for a seat on the plan to North America as he has declared he wants to play for Scotland now. Funny that.There's a look over at Rangers as Kevin Thelwell and Patrick Stewart are relieved of their duties. Farewell Star Trek and X-Men jokes, we hardly knew ye.And of course this is Scottish football so there's chat about all the dodgy decisions that were made by referees over the course of the weekend. Is it possible they are actually worse than usual?

Scotland have done it, we're going to the World Cup!Graeme hosted the continuing celebrations as he was joined by Daris, both Johns, Krys and Laurie.The guys talked over an amazing night at Hampden as Scotland qualified for our first World Cup since 1998.We discussed the build up to the match itself, before moving onto all the crucial moments in the game, including which of the goals from Mctominay, Tierney and McLean was the best. We also talked Steve Clarke and how he is the most successful Scotland Manager.28 years of waiting is finally over, bring on the summer!Thanks for listening and to everyone who has given us feedback on our recent episodes.Linktree - https://linktr.ee/SFFPODCASTDiscord - Scottish Football ForumsBluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialTwitter/X - @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastTikTok - @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.scotEmail - scottishfootballforumspodcast@gmail.com

Regulars John, Graeme D and Laurie are joined by regular guest when it comes to the national team, Alan aka Air Force Wan.Making his first appearance on the podcast is Cammy who is a fan of many teams and is given one of the cruelest introductions ever.On one of the most random episodes we've ever recorded, there is chat about why Laurie should take a break from Rugby Park and visit Auchinleck Talbot's Beechwood Park instead.This segment probably sets the tone for the whole episode.There are belly laughs, discussion around some of the names in the Scotland squad and more.We ask the questions that others are afraid to ask like which Scottish player would you most like to see in a pair of beach volleyball pants and who is on your club calendar his month.Let's hope that Scotland can get the job done on Saturday and we can look forward to night of happiness at Hampden next Tuesday.Thanks for listening and make sure to like, subscribe and follow on our social media outlets, as well as joining us on our

John and Laurie are joined by Daris making his second appearance but first as a regular. We have a guest too as football writer and Motherwell fan, Ben Banks joins us.We kick off the football chat by focusing on Kilmarnock and their recent poor run of form.This leads on to debate as to whether Laurie should watch a different sport.There is League Cup semis chat with Daris being delighted and Ben getting free therapy after Motherwell were pumped.The podcast was recorded on the same day that the Scotland squad was announced. Inevitably this means there is chat about the goalie situation, shortage of centre backs and the hope for a top class striker.Thanks for listening and make sure to like, subscribe and follow on our social media outlets, as well as joining us on our Discord.Linktree - https://linktr.ee/SFFPODCASTDiscord - Scottish Football ForumsBluesky - @sffpodcast.bsky.socialTwitter/X - @sffpodcastInstagram - sffpodcastTikTok - @sffpodcastFacebook - Scottish Football ForumsMastodon - @sffpodcast@mastodon.

Ricky hosts for the first time with John and they are joined by Steven, singer and guitarist from Future Colours. Steven talks about his lifelong loyalty to Greenock Morton F.C. (yes — the “Ton”), the local legend of the “Greenock cat man”, and of course his all-time Morton Best Eleven.Future Colours formed out of a shared love for jangly guitars, big hooks and honest vocals — they aim to marry that classic indie-pop energy with a bit of Scottish soul. They've been gigging around Scotland, recording demos, and now on to their next phase with their upcoming single “Coast”.There is your usual random food and drink chat plus much more.“Coast” – the new track from Future Colours lands in November. Future Colours will be playing Audio on 22nd November (doors 7pm).
