The audio is all over the place and very poor by standards of the BBC . Quality doesn’t matter much in terms of content also it seems increasingly.

Michael Stewart is completely unlistenable. The level of insight and quality of chat is several lacking. Had to turn off the Scotland Iceland preview a couple of minutes in as it was so irritating. Also I’m sure Phil Goodlad is a really nice guy but my gran could come out with better cliched fluff.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sportsound: St Mirren pointless on the road at Tannadice

Q: Jim, congratulations. A good three points tonight. What pleased you overall about the performance?

We were pleased with the physicality and the way the team competed in every duel; we started brightly, took the lead through an own goal, and though we conceded an equaliser, the character to push on and win showed our quality and focus.

Why are Celtic fans so unhappy?

Q: Do you think Celtic are looking at him and thinking, if not him, then somebody of that ilk?

Absolutely should be. They need a manager to lead the upcoming rebuilding efforts.

Why are Celtic fans so unhappy?

Q: What needs to happen to get the fans back onside in the short term?

Players need to take responsibility and improve their on-pitch performances to regain fan trust.

Sportsound: Celtic's late equaliser salvages draw against Rangers

Q: Does that first half performance, does that set a new bar, a new level for Rangers?

It was, yeah, we increased our limit, our level. I think it was again, this level what we want to play over 90 minutes again and again against a team who's still a good team.

Sportsound: Celtic's late equaliser salvages draw against Rangers

Q: I wonder how the Celtic manager reflects on that match and the performance from your team?

It was obviously a great game. We were well and truly second best first half, but they have shown a great determination, got down and got it played. Other than the first three or four minutes of the second half, the game belonged to us.
