The Go Radio Football Show: April 17th, 2026.

Paul Cooney is joined by Barry Ferguson and Mark Guidi for a blockbuster breakdown of Scottish Cup semi‑final weekend and a three‑horse Premiership title race that’s impossible to call.

From Celtic vs St Mirren and Dunfermline vs Falkirk at Hampden, to fiery debates around Martin O’Neill, Neil Lennon, Derek McInnes, and Danny Rohl, the panel dives into tactics, team selections, pressure points, and predictions. Expect strong opinions on Nico Raskin’s influence at Rangers, Celtic’s striker dilemma, and whether continuity—not chaos—is the key to winning silverware.

Add in PFA Team of the Year reaction, passionate fan calls, managerial hypotheticals, and the ever‑present league run‑in tension at both ends of the table—and you’ve got a gripping, opinion‑driven episode that captures Scottish football at its most dramatic.
