  • Andrew Cavenagh's gushing praise of new Rangers boss Danny Rohl leaves HUGE question unanswered

    Danny Rohl was unveiled as the new Rangers boss amid much fanfare from chairman Andrew Cavenagh.

    But that praise has left Bill Leckie and David Friel pondering one major question.

    And they debate how realistic it is for the ex-Sheffield Wednesday manager to turn round a squad of players failing so badly under Russell Martin.

    Also, can Brendan Rodgers get Celtic motoring again after THAT quip about Hondas and Ferraris.

    And they turn their attention to whether high-flying Hearts can stay at the top of the Premiership and whether Aberdeen have finally turned a corner.

  • Rangers have been a mess for years so can they really wait for Kevin Muscat?

    Rangers are still on the lookout for a new manager after Steven Gerrard's dramatic rejection of a sensational Ibrox return.


    Robert Grieve and Bill Leckie are back on The Set Piece to analyse that AND if the club can now afford to wait several weeks for Kevin Muscat's arrival.

    Away from Ibrox, there's a look back on Scotland's World Cup qualifying double header against Greece and Belarus.


    We might've taken six points from six from the two games but neither Steve Clarke or his players were happy and Robert and Bill reckon there was plenty to be concerned about too.

  • Is Steven Gerrard right for Rangers and is he 100% sold on stunning return?

    Unsurprisingly the Rangers manager search dominates this week's Set Piece - with the focus on one man in particular.


    That man, of course, is Steven Gerrard - who is in the running for a sensational Ibrox return after the departure of Russell Martin in the wake of Sunday's draw with Falkirk.


    Robert Grieve and Bill Leckie debate if a return to the Ibrox hot seat four years after his departure makes sense - both for him and the club?


    They ponder if Derek McInnes at Hearts could yet become a live contender and assess one man who could have been perfect - IF he hadn't removed himself from the running.


    The guys also cast an eye over the messy end to Russell Martin's short tenure at Ibrox - and the questions Andrew Cavenagh and Paraag Marathe must be asking of Gerrard.


    Then there's Celtic, and where the ongoing tensions between the club's fans and the board go from here after a showdown meeting which didn't seem to go well.


    Finally, it's onto Scotland, and their huge World Cup double header with Greece and Belarus - as the guys dream of looking out their passports for USA, Mexico and Canada.
