  • Has Martin O'Neill LOST the Celtic dressing room?

    Kris Boyd is in the Go Ballistic studio with Roger Hannah and Jonathon Moar to look back on a weekend that saw Celtic go into crisis mode once again.
    What does the future hold for Martin O'Neill after the Hoops fell to a 2-0 defeat to Falkirk?
    It's a run of six defeats in 10 matches for the Celts, who blew the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premiership table to seven points.
    Falkirk, meanwhile, have turned things right around and there's plenty of praise for John McGlynn after his first career win over the Hoops.
    The Premier Sports Cup Final is set with Rangers going head-to-head with Hibs for the first silverware of the season next month.
    The Gers saw-off Aberdeen with Badredine Bouanani taking on a starring role - can he be Derek McInnes' main man?
    Hibs put their dreadful league form behind them to secure a stunning Hampden win over Edinburgh rivals Hearts to book their place in the final.

  • There was NO need for McInnes to change things and it's cost Rangers big time

    Kris Boyd, Roger Hannah and Jonathon Moar are back to discuss a rather remarkable weekend of Scottish football action in this week's Go Ballistic sponsored by Scotmid.
    There was drama at both ends of the table, none more so than at Celtic Park on Sunday where the Hoops DEMOLISHED Hearts 7-1.
    There were several top showings for Celtic who moved four points clear at the top but where does it leave the Jambos' title challenge and does Wouter Vrancken need to change tact?
    Celtic were able to extend their lead after Rangers dropped points in a 2-2 draw at Dundee.
    The result ended an excellent running for Derek McInnes' side and some of the Gers manager's selections come under the microscope.
    At the bottom of the table, it was a bad weekend for Hibs, Motherwell and St Mirren but who is Boyd fearing for the most as it stands?
    Plus, it was all-action in the Championship including a contender for WORST refereeing decision of the season.

  • Kasper Hogh's major Celtic STRUGGLE as Rangers find their main man

    Domestic football is back and so is Go Ballistic as Kris Boyd, Roger Hannah and Jonathon Moar to discuss all the big match action, in association with Scotmid.
    After a few weeks of turmoil, Celtic got the win they badly needed by comfortably seeing-off Motherwell 2-0. But as his teammates impressed, there were yet more struggles for record signing Kasper Hogh, so just how do the Hoops get him going?
    Rangers briefly enjoyed life at the top of the table, continuing their excellent winning form by beating Kilmarnock 3-1.
    After netting an Old Firm winner, Ryan Naderi bagged a double at Ibrox and is now looking like the Gers' leading man up front.
    Elsewhere, Hearts secured a statement win by thumping St Mirren 5-0 - but elsewhere, there are several teams toiling.
    That includes Aberdeen, as Kris Boyd explains why their boss Stephen Robinson was talking "rubbish" at the weekend.

  • Is it OVER for Martin O'Neill at Celtic after another dismal Old Firm defeat?

    For the second time in seven days, it was derby delight for Rangers as they beat Celtic in another Old Firm showdown.
    But could it be a result that spells the end for Martin O'Neill's latest spell in charge? That's the big question being looked at by Kris Boyd, Roger Hannah and Jonathon Moar in this week's Go Ballistic sponsored by Scotmid.
    Celtic are still top of the Scottish Premiership table but their lead is now just two points after Sunday's 1-0 loss to the resurgent Gers.
    The guys analyse why the Celts are in such a 'mess' and what the players' recent comments mean for the future.
    As for Rangers, it's been a sensational turnaround in form and the momentum appears to be with Derek McInnes and his players.
    Ryan Naderi was the match-winner but he isn't the only player who has hugely impressed ex-Gers ace Boyd in recent weeks.

  • This week could DEFINE Rangers' season - plus the one player club are WRONG to let go

    It's a huge week ahead for Scottish football, particularly for Rangers.
