The Go Radio Football Show: 8th of August, 2025

In Association with Burger King.

This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show. 

Join host Paul Cooney alongside ex Rangers Manager Barry Ferguson and Award Winning Journalist Mark Guidi.

Rangers’ emphatic 3-0 win over Viktoria Plzeň in Europe is a major talking point. New signing Antman impressed with his pace and composure, while Gassama and Dessers also receive praise.

The issue of team lineup leaks before matches is discussed, with Ferguson expressing frustration over how common it has become across clubs.

Celtic fans express growing frustration over the lack of transfer activity, especially with a crucial Champions League playoff approaching.

Brendan Rodgers acknowledged the need for reinforcements but remained vague, saying he was “hopeful” about signings before the deadline. This lack of clarity has left fans feeling disillusioned.

James Forrest is praised for his longevity and impact, but concerns are raised about relying on him at this stage of his career. 

The team preview upcoming fixtures, predicting a comfortable win for Rangers against Dundee and a tough but winnable match for Celtic against Aberdeen. 

Scott McTominay’s Ballon d’Or nomination is hailed as a major achievement for Scottish football. Caroline Weir is also recognised for her nomination, representing Real Madrid. Both players are celebrated for raising the profile of Scottish talent on the international stage.

Barry Ferguson shares insights into his managerial routine, emphasising the importance of planning, delegation, and treating players with respect. He describes his approach to team talks, preparation, and the value of having a strong support staff.
