"I think the Celtic fans have stopped listening to them." After the tennis-ball protest at St Andrews, Peter Martin, Alan Rough and Alex Rae ask what it would take to end the war between Celtic's board and its supporters.

Does Celtic need a mediator, and who would the fans trust? Peter says the current board don't have the capability and that it needs give and take on both sides, while abusing board members such as Michael Nicholson and their families is "bang out of order", and so is the conduct of the small minority wrecking stands and storming exit gates. With "none of them going to back down", the panel see a chance for Rangers to hit the front if Celtic keep wobbling.

Plus Alex Rae on Partick Thistle's flying start in the Championship and their 4,132 crowd, why Motherwell's style has been worked out after three defeats, Peter and Roughy's traffic jam after the Switzerland game, and this weekend's Premiership fixtures, including Rangers v Kilmarnock and Motherwell v Celtic.
