  • It seems crazy to say it but John McGinn could be LEFT OUT vs Haiti

    Scotland's World Cup bow after 28 years in the wilderness is now just days away - and Robert Grieve and Bill Leckie are thinking the unthinkable on The Set Piece sponsored by ScotMid.

  • Celtic boss Martin O'Neill deserves a statue but he ISN'T right for permanent Hoops job

    A chaotic Scottish domestic season has come to an end - but there's still so much for Bill Leckie and Robert Grieve to get their teeth into on The Set Piece sponsored by ScotMid.
    Robert was first with the big news on Saturday evening that Lawrence Shankland was swapping Hearts for Rangers - so it's only right that the guys start by running the rule over every facet of that transfer, not least where exactly the Jambos go from here.
