SPFL Sighs and Aberdeen Lows: The Scottish Football Podcast

Another appetising set of fixtures in the SPFL Premiership this weekend for me to provide my world-class predictions on, ending with the Dons hosting Rangers on Sunday. I am joined on the pod by my brother Gavin, a die-hard Dandy, to look at the Dons managerial search and some slightly more balanced views on Lutz Pfannensteil!

In Part 2 of our series with Scott Morrison, the focus turns to life in the Aberdeen first team.

Scott reflects on breaking into the senior squad, making appearances at Pittodrie, and the realities of playing at the top level with Aberdeen FC. We talk dressing-room culture, matchday pressure, expectations from fans, and the challenges of trying to establish yourself consistently in the side.

A candid look at what it truly means to pull on the red shirt at first-team level.

Slight change today…..here I assess the different approaches taken by SPFL veteran Stephen Robinson and the new kid on the block Jens Berthel Askou. Both managers producing results with relatively meagre resources and very different playing styles. And with the Dons on the lookout for a new manager, it is likely they will both be linked with the post.

The Dons travelled to Ibrox with Peter Leven leading the team……or was it Lutz Pfannensteil?! I discuss the game and also the situation at Celtic Park following the departure of Wilf and his tactics board.

Former Aberdeen left back Scott Morrison joins SPFL Sighs and Aberdeen Lows for the first part of a three-part series, starting at the very beginning of his journey in red.

In this episode, Scott reflects on coming through the youth ranks at Aberdeen FC — from academy life and early expectations to the challenges, pressures, and realities of trying to make it at Pittodrie. We discuss coaching, development, breaking into the first-team environment, and what it was really like being a young player trying to earn his place at the club.

An honest look at the pathway to professional football at Aberdeen, told by someone who lived it.

After the emergency pod of last night following the news that Jimmy Thelin had departed Aberdeen FC, here I look at the club statement and assess where the Dons might go from here.

Huge breaking news on Sunday night that the Dons had parted company with cup winning manager Jimmy Thelin following a poor run of results. This pod reacts to the breaking news and includes my pre-recorded preview of the trip to Ibrox where I had discussed the future of the manager. Another prediction I got wrong as I thought the board would back him! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Another dismal Dons performance. Trouble in Paradise for Nancy and Pressley wins the day in the Dundee derby. Hearts pull 6 points clear at the summit while I am joined by a Motherwell fan to discuss what is turning out to be an exciting season at Fir Park. Are they in the title race?

Usual weekly preview and predictions from me as the games continue to come thick and fast in the SPFL. The Dons head to Falkirk while the Dundee and Glasgow derbies take prominence. Hearts are back in action and looking to cement their position at the top of the table too. I’m joined by a special guest on this episode who discusses the title race which his team are now in.

The Dons head to Falkirk looking to get back to winning ways and ease the growing pressure on Jimmy Thelin. Here are my views ahead of what I expect will be a tightly contested game.
