Off The Underside are back with a brand new interview with the great Derek Rae.

From his teenage commentary debut in Aberdeen to covering World Cups, Champions League nights, and Bundesliga classics, Derek takes us through his extraordinary journey behind the mic.

Jamie and Corrie chat about his early days at BBC Scotland, his time working in the States, what makes a truly great commentator, and how he prepares for the biggest games on the planet. Plus, he opens up about his love for languages , and what it’s really like calling games at the highest level.

We would like to thank Derek for his time and being a wonderful guest.
