Celtic’s 4-1 defeat to Benfica dominates the discussion as Paul Cooney is joined by Barry Ferguson and Peter Grant to dissect another disappointing European night. The panel debate Celtic’s defensive lapses, selection decisions and tactical approach, questioning whether Martin O’Neill got his starting XI right and arguing that the game changed when direct, pacey wide players were introduced.

Attention then turns to the domestic scene, with Rangers looking to go top of the Premiership against Dundee. Derek McInnes’ recent resurgence at Ibrox is analysed, alongside praise for key performers and Rangers’ evolving midfield balance. The show also previews a crucial weekend across Scottish football, featuring Celtic vs Hearts, Dundee vs Rangers and a packed Championship card.
