World Cup Lessons, Hydration Breaks and Celtic’s Transfer Standstill
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the World Cup for Scottish football, hydration breaks, and the current state of various Premiership teams and Celtic's transfer situation.
Spain are world champions - but beyond the trophy lift, what lasting changes could this World Cup mean for the SPFL? Have hydration breaks become football’s version of a tactical timeout? And should Scottish football be looking closely at how referees and VAR have been used on the biggest stage? Back at home, which Premiership sides have made the strongest early statement in the League Cup? Are Dundee United already putting an early scare behind them? Should Aberdeen fans be encouraged by the signs from their rebuilt squad? And after another nervy afternoon, is there any reason for Kilmarnock supporters to be concerned? Plus are Celtic supporters right to be frustrated by the lack of transfer activity? Could a summer of inactivity end up becoming the biggest story of the Scottish football season before a ball has even been kicked in the Premiership?
