The Football Show · 2 October 2026
The Football Show goes on the road to the Braehead Arena ahead of the SPFL Tennent's Sixes (Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October). Peter Martin, Alan Rough and Gordon Parks look ahead to Scotland's must-win in North Macedonia, react to Cristiano Ronaldo walking away from Portugal, and meet the people behind the return of the Sixes after 33 years.
Should Lewis Ferguson be dropped for North Macedonia?
"Shock horror", says the panel, but yes: Scotland need more creativity and Ferguson doesn't give enough of it. The panel want "three points, no excuses" against a side without a win in 10, with Ben Gannon-Doak and Josh McPake on the wings, Steven Welsh "all day long" for the suspended Jack Hendry, Billy Gilmour as the linchpin, John McGinn staying in the team and the keeper keeping his place. Predictions: 2-0, maybe 3-0, and a chance for Oli McBurnie and Kieran Bowie to put a marker down before Slovenia at Hampden.
Why did Ronaldo quit Portugal?
After his fallout with Portugal manager Jorge Jesus, Peter says Ronaldo "has thrown the dummy out of the pram", but nobody on the panel wants it to end this way. And to the pundits who say he only scores goals, Peter's answer: "We'd have a 41-year-old Ronaldo right now", because Scotland can't score. Plus Harry Kane and the dying art of the number nine, and the big debate: is Ronaldo top three of all time alongside Pele, Messi, Maradona and Cruyff?
What is happening at the Tennent's Sixes at Braehead?
Braehead Arena CEO Russell Smith explains how the ice is covered by a FIFA-standard pitch from Sportex and Greenfields in two hours, why 12 Scottish Premiership legends' sides will play a derby in every session, and why the sin bin, crowd cams and maybe even a kiss cam are coming to football. Roughy played in the very first Sixes in 1984 with Hibs.
How can you help Street Soccer Scotland?
David Duke MBE of Street Soccer Scotland, the Sixes charity partner, on the exhibition match before Sunday's final (Scotland's Homeless World Cup players against a celebrity select including Clare Grogan), and KitBack: bring your old football shirts to Braehead and they'll be cleaned, resold and the money put back into the community.
