The Football Show · 31 August 2026
The Football Show LIVE breaks down a big weekend in Scottish football, with Peter Martin joined by Alan Rough, Tam McManus and Alex Rae. The panel debate whether Derek McInnes' Rangers have turned a corner after a 1-0 win at Aberdeen, whether Celtic can still land the players they need before the transfer deadline, and who wins the Edinburgh derby between Hibernian and Hearts.
HAVE RANGERS TURNED A CORNER UNDER DEREK McINNES?
Alex Rae believes the win over Aberdeen is a huge step in the right direction for Rangers, with the fight and character back in the side, but warns there are many more battles still to win before anyone gets carried away. The panel ask how sustainable the revival really is.
WILL CELTIC SIGN THE PLAYERS THEY NEED BEFORE THE DEADLINE?
Peter Martin doesn't believe Celtic will get all the players they need in this transfer window, with deadline day looming. The panel assess where Celtic's squad still needs strengthening and how much business they can realistically get done.
WHO WILL WIN THE EDINBURGH DERBY?
Alan Rough and Tam McManus are both predicting a Hibernian win over Hearts in the Edinburgh derby. The panel preview the fixture and give their score predictions.
