It's just 66 days to go until Scotland return to the World Cup, and the excitement is building ahead of the big event. With Boston hosting two matches, John and Daris are joined by Bostonian, and Manager of Intergovernmental Affairs at Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA), Adam Kamoune. After being recommended to SFF by fellow Boston resident and well-known Scottish commentator Derek Rae, Adam gave the lowdown on what the Tartan Army can expect in his home city and everything is covered from tourist hotspots to cuisine, from bars to beers, with some money saving tips thrown in.

Adam also addresses the MBTA's reasoning behind the $80 return for trains from Boston to the Gillette Foxboro Stadium, which has not been well received by already disgruntled fans who've already forked out for match tickets, flights and accommodation. He puts into perspective the difference between the World Cup and regular NFL matches, which don't have the same demand for public transport, and the lack of funding from FIFA as part-explanations behind the pricing, as well as the costs to put on the extra trains and staff to cope with the demands.

Overall, Adam speaks passionately about how much he's looking forward to the World Cup and welcoming the Tartan Army to his city. If he wasn't excited enough, Adam has a personal interest in Group C as a Morocco fan, and he gives an insight as to the expectations of the Africans going into the tournament and his general excitement for the Scotland v Morocco match.

Scotland's preparations for the 2026 World Cup begin now as the Men's National Team prepare for two friendly matches against Japan at Hampden and Ivory Coast at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium over the next week. Joining John are SFF regulars Josh, Daris and, belatedly, Stephen, plus special guest Tam Coyle, a familiar name on the Tartan Army music circuit with his DJ gigs.

Not only do we preview the friendlies but we also get Tam's tales of following Scotland and the music scene, before the panel are given the World Cup shirts and songs rankings challenge and attempt to answer the "who am I" quiz, which reveals an upcoming podcast guest.

We also give a shoutout to Gully Singh who's put together a wonderful video from inside the Hill Dickinson Stadium on his YouTube channel "Gully Talks", so if you're going to Liverpool give this a watch beforehand. Also, we give details of the latest Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal donation to the charity "Tackle Africa", and the presentation ceremony being held pre-match.

The World Cup is edging closer, and in this episode John and Charlie take a look at the continent of one of Scotland's opponents - South America. They spoke to co-authors Tim Vickery and Mark Biram ahead of the launch of their book Mundiales, which details South American fortunes in the tournament and how the foundations of the World's biggest sporting event were laid by the inaugural Copa America of 1916.

Tim and Mark describe their journey in how the project came together, who worked on what chapter and how they overcame potential stumbling blocks, with Tim taking the Brian Clough approach. The chat then moves onto looking back at some South American fortunes from Mexico '86 to Qatar '22, how Tim and Mark think the South American sides will do in USA, Mexico and Canada this summer, how the Brazilians view the Scotland match and questions from listeners.

We will have more World Cup content in the build up to and during the main event, so keep your eyes peeled and ears open for future episodes.

Every fan has their own story, and that goes for the regulars on this podcast as well as everyone listening. Krys hosts a chat with regular contributor Charlie to look back over his time supporting Hibernian.

A vast array of managers, some ups and downs, and of course that magical moment almost ten years ago now when the now manager and then captain David Gray made history.

There's also chat about the success of Hibernian women, the Scottish national team, and some quick fire questions from the podcast team. We finish with Charlie's lifetime Hibernian XI.

We might be in full World Cup build up excitement, but UEFA are already looking beyond the summer to another Nations League campaign. Scotland, back in League B, have been drawn with Switzerland, Slovenia and North Macedonia.

John got together with Cammy, Daris and Krys to discuss the ups and downs of the draw. Which sounds like a good trip? How can Scotland perform and where will we finish? How does that look in terms of Euro 2028 qualifying and even World Cup 2030 qualifying? And, of course, what might happen to the squad and coaching staff after Andy Robertson lifts the trophy in New Jersey on July 19th?

In the latest instalment of our World Cup countdown, John is joined by Off The Ball co-host Tam Cowan.

Tam goes through his most fond memories following Scotland on the World's biggest stage from the first one he watched in '78, through to being in France with Off The Ball. From toast with beans and sausages at half time for the Holland match in Argentina, through window cleaning for a pound per door in '86, to having a pee next to Pele at the Stade de France in '98, Tam shares his unique World Cup tale for us all, and why the Tartan Army should ignore politics when it comes to this years finals.

Dundee - the manager who was written off before he'd even started, still going strong despite outlasting half the league at this point.

St Mirren - silverware already in the cabinet, are they now coasting too much in the league?

Kilmarnock - a first win since October, is it signs of improvement for Neil McCann's side?

Livingston - someone there attended the David Murray/Dick Advocaat school of sackings.

It's the bottom four in the Premiership and yet there's cause for optimism and positivity for almost all!

We're kicking off our countdown to the 2026 World Cup by looking back to an era where Scotland were regulars on the world's greatest stage, qualifying for six out of seven finals between 1974 and 1998. For this episode, John has drafted in entertainer Grant Stott, match announcer Graeme Easton and Famous Tartan Magazine Editor Iain Emerson, all kids in the 70's, alongside SFF regular Erin who was still in single digits when Scotland were last at the finals. They were tasked with ranking the official (and one unofficial) Scotland World Cup singles and the home kits worn at each of the tournaments.

From Easy Easy to Del Amitri, through Ally's Army and We Have A Dream to Big Trip to Mexico and Say it With Pride, coupled with the evolution of the Umbro kits, there are varied opinions and great stories from the panel, who also give their views on the ideal World Cup artist(s) for 2026.

We'd also love to hear what you think, so leave your comments, share on Social Media, and let us know what songs make your playlist and the tops you'd be most likely to don come the summer as we look forward to returning to the biggest sporting event on the planet.
