Sean O'Shea joins Chris McHardy for a show of big-name guests from the Middle East's world of sport. 

Al Kholood manager Des Buckingham joins the show ahead of his side's showdown in the Saudi King's Cup Final match with Al Hilal. The British manager gives us some superb insight into his unusual career path that has already taken him to New Zealand, India, back to the UK, and Saudi Arabia, where his side is punching well above its weight against the wealthier clubs.

Emirati golfer Rayan Ahmed is in the studio to talk about his history-making move to a US Division 1 College. And real-life explorer and ex-British Military man Ray Betts explains why he’s embarking on a unique solo mission across the Hajjar Mountains soon.

All this and much more on The Score.
