The Pyramid - Scottish football podcast

In our 38th episode of 'The Pyramid' Scottish football podcast, Kenny Crawford is joined by Stenhousemuir striker Dale Carrick.

Dale lists Hearts, Livingston, Airdrieonians and Stirling Albion as some of his former clubs, but at the moment he's eager to help Stenny to promotion to the Championship, especially since the Warriors have never featured in the second tier of Scottish football.

But there's also the small matter of Scottish Cup fifth round weekend coming, and Stenhousemuir host local rivals Falkirk in what should be a really tasty tie.

In our long overdue 37th episode of 'The Pyramid' Scottish football podcast, Kenny Crawford is joined by his regular co-hosts, Spartans midfielder James Craigen and Annan Athletic assistant manager Steven Bell.
As we aim to get back into the swing of things, James brings us up to speed with a big change in his life, as well as assessing League Two, which his club sits top of at the time of recording.

We also look ahead to the Scottish Cup fourth round, with Steven's Annan heading to Ibrox to face Rangers, and Spartans hosting League One high-flyers Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Jordan has spent over four years with the Staggies and is on course for reaching his highest goal tally since moving to the Dingwall area, where he and his family have properly settled. He reveals his favourite strike partners and at 33, believes he might still have his best years ahead of him!

Ricki has headed south from County, on loan to Hamilton, and he's hoping to build momentum after a frustrating start to the season with injury in the highlands. He's loving working with John Rankin and has a great story about his loan deals!

At the time of recording, Chris has guided the League Two club up to 7th in the table, having taken over in September 2024 when the Stair Park side were bottom. he gives us some great insight into what he's implemented at Stranraer to yield the steady improvements, and also gives us a glimpse of his match day routine.

Steven played with Chris at Stirling Albion and Stranraer, so we allowed that pair a few minutes to reminisce as well!

At the time of recording, Adam has 11 goals and nine assists for the Binos following a summer move from Stenhousemuir, a transfer which occurred on deadline day and in painstaking fashion, as he shares with us.

New Dad Adam also has his brain-power well and truly tested with a serious bit of trivia from his St Mirren debut in 2014!

In our 33rd episode of 'The Pyramid' Scottish football podcast, Kenny Crawford and Spartans midfielder James Craigen are joined by industrious Greenock Morton midfielder Cameron Blues, and Clydebank striker Nicky Little, who's only just gone and overtaken Ken Eadie as the Bankies' all-time leading goalscorer.
Cameron gives us an insight into his six-year stint at Cappielow, a ground which he loves playing at, and how he hopes Ton can propel themselves into the promotion play-offs.

Nicky talks us through the feeling of netting 176 times for Clydebank, who are gunning for a crack at the Lowland League if they can sustain their 1st place position in the West of Scotland Football League Premier Division.

Oh and all the lads chat about football boots...which make and colour suits them best???
