Don County, manager of Ross Cowie

Robert Borthwick returns to play host this Monday evening alongside Craig Fowler. The pair chat about the six games in the Scottish Premiership weekend, including: Aberdeen still being rubbish but finding those all-important three points. Don Cowie's strange half-time switch. Adama Sidibeh scoring both a brilliant goal and just generally being brilliant. Dundee's comical opener. Hibs leaving themselves wide open again at Ibrox. Rangers being the more clinical of two profligate teams. Killie impressive at Tynecastle. Celtic getting Reo Hatate back. And Stephen Robinson weakening his side through some second-half subs. Video of the episode will be available on YouTube on Tuesday morning. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Photoshopped Dick Campbell

Shaughan McGuigan is joined by Fraser Clarke as the two of them discuss Dunfermline putting in one of the poorest performances of the season, Rhys McCabe and Dougie Imrie continuing to punch above their weight, and what to expect from Scott Brown at Ayr United.  They’re both impressed at how Andy Graham has started at Alloa Athletic, and discuss what a surprisingly fresh-faced Dick Campbell might bring to Methil.  Lastly, they look at the bottom end of League Two, and if there’s anyone else at the fag end of League Two who Clyde can still drag in.
