Can you imagine a world where The Warm-Up hosts pulled on the shirts of their greatest rivals? Both Kris and Chris Sutton are asked to contemplate playing for the other side in this month’s Mailbag, with Boydy looking for a certain Henrik Larsson to do his running. Joined by James McFadden to answer your questions, the team also discuss football friends (and enemies) and football traitors. They also look at how this current, high-flying Motherwell side compares to other great SPFL teams and if we will ever see a team like St Johnstone, do another cup double. Also in this month’s Mailbag the team answer whether or not they fancy a return to coaching and say what referee decision still haunts them. 0:00 STARTS00:38 Best friend and worst enemy in football 07:20 The best non-Old Firm team EVER 10:20 Kris and Chris: Managerial ambitions? 18:51 Will we ever see another underdog cup double? 21:53 Alternate realities: The Bhoy Boydy and Sutty the Ger 23:55 Football’s greatest traitors? 24:52 What referee decision still haunts you? ENDS  🎧 Listen to The Warm-Up wherever you get your podcasts. https://linktr.ee/williamhillspfl   Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl 18+ please gamble responsibly. #Celtic #Rangers #OldFirm #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #ScottishFootball #CelticFC #ScottishPremiership #RangersFC #Hearts #Motherwell #StJohnstone #Everton #PierluigiCollina #ManchesterUnited #ManUtd #BlackburnRovers #EnglishPremierLeague #StJohnstone #NorwichCity Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media -http://wh.bet/Ads 

Raised by Sir Bobby Robson and playing as one of the stars in a Trinidad and Tobago team which included a young Dwight Yorke, Russell Latapy was largely unknown when he first arrived in Scottish football in 1998. Over the next decade with Hibernian, Rangers, Dundee United and Falkirk, the little playmaker would prove to be one of the Scottish game’s great entertainers and an inspirational talisman for his clubs. Joining Chris Sutton, Kris Boyd and James McFadden for the latest Big Interview on The Warm-Up, Russell tells the comprehensive story of his life, from his formative years in the Caribbean, to joining Porto under the great Sir Bobby. He talks of his encounters with a young Jose Mourinho and Andres Villas-Boas in Portugal, of his move to Scotland and time playing under some of the game’s great characters, including Yogi Hughes and Dick Advocaat. The interview also covers his friendship, nights out and managerial partnership with Yorke, a possible return to Scotland and includes a carnival invite for Boydy, Sutty and Faddy.  0:00 STARTS 02:20 Football, cricket and where it all began 06:00 Playing the game with Brian Lara 08:25 A Letter from America 10:15 Porto bound 12:05 Meeting Sir Bobby 13:08 The best player I played with 16:15 The Special One 19:00 AVB leaves a note 22:00 Trials with Aston Villa 23:00 Scotland bound 27:30 A love affair with Yogi 28:45 Setting The Record straight 29:50 A move to Celtic? 32:40 Catching the plane home 35:30 I have no problems with Alex 37:50 A phone call to the beach house 40:00 Time for one more 42:10 Aiming for the World Cup 45:10 “Has Terry mellowed?” 48:30 Me and Dwight 52:00 Still going at 40 54:00 An invite to the Carnival 57:30 “He chased Dirk all over the pitch” 58:10 I’d love to manage in Scotland 59:05 What kind of manager would they get? ENDS  🎧 Listen to The Warm-Up wherever you get your podcasts. https://linktr.ee/williamhillspfl   Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl  18+ please gamble responsibly. #Celtic #Rangers #OldFirm #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #ScottishFootball #CelticFC #ScottishPremiership #RangersFC #Hearts #FalkirkFC #DundeeUtd #ScottishCup #Hibernian #Hibs #HeartofMidlothian #Stenhousemmuir #CelticFC #TrinidadandTobago #DwightYorke #BrianLara #cricket #ManchesterUnited  Proper Supporter of the @SPFL   Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media -http://wh.bet/Ads 

The Old Firm prepare to dance again this weekend – this time in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup. On a Warm-Up cup special, regular hosts Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd are joined by James McFadden to look ahead to the weekend’s ties. For the second week running, Ibrox again provides the venue for the Glasgow derby and, as the team explain, this is turning out to be a bigger game for Rangers manager Danny Rohl than it is for opposite number Martin O’Neill. The team also discuss Celtic’s selection issues, who starts in goal and exactly how they will line up as their manager tries to figure out the reason behind their slow starts and late rallies. Looking at the other ties, Faddy foils a pile-on as Chris and Kris take aim at an under-performing St Mirren team. They ask if the Buddies have taken their foot off the gas following their League Cup win, threatening a remarkable double. The team also smell an upset at East End Park, where Dunfermline face Aberdeen, discuss Falkirk v Dundee United, and give their match predictions. 0:00 STARTS 00:54 This is a bigger game for Danny Rohl 02:19 ‘That’s just not good enough for Rangers’ 06:45 The one thing Martin O’Neill won’t do again 09:33 The dramatic decline of a Celtic talisman 10:27 Celtic’s goalkeeping conundrum 13:35 Falkirk can win this cup 15:19 ‘He’ll go from University to the Scotland team’ 18:50 Can St Mirren do it again? 20:14 “This isn’t a social media pile-on" 21:18 Quarter final predictions ENDS 🎧 Listen to The Warm-Up wherever you get your podcasts. https://linktr.ee/williamhillspfl    Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl  18+ please gamble responsibly. #Celtic #Rangers #OldFirm #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #ScottishFootball #CelticFC #ScottishPremiership #RangersFC #Hearts #FalkirkFC #DundeeUtd #ScottishCup #DunfermlineAthletic #MotherwellFC #Hearts #HeartofMidlothian #AberdeenFC #PartickThistle #CelticFC #StMirren  Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media -http://wh.bet/Ads

It’s been over a month since St Mirren celebrated League Cup glory. And Chris Sutton is still waiting on his cheque and case of champers from his old Buddies. Answering questions from Warm-Up viewers in the latest Mailbag, Chris reflects on the role he played as St Mirren’s Mr Motivator and is asked if he would still refuse to open his curtains if they were playing in his back garden. In the latest show, Chris, Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith also talk about football influences, team-mates who have tried to persuade them to switch clubs and the captains who drove them to victory. Heart of Midlothian’s ‘new Scott Brown’ is under the microscope, as is VAR and the officials running it. Did Naisy nearly move to Celtic? Should we stop the clocks on time-wasting? Who is going down and who is coming up the William Hill Premiership? And what would have happened if Chris Sutton’s wife had told him to move to Rangers? All this and more in the latest Warm-Up Mailbag.00:00 STARTS 00:27 VAR – how do we make it better? 02”05 Did a team-mate ever influence a transfer? 05:14 Should we stop the clocks when the ball goes out of play? 06:58 Who is going down and who is taking their place? 12:52 What makes a good club captain? 21:20 Steven Naismith of Celtic?! ENDS  Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl 18+ please gamble responsibly.  #Celtic #Rangers #OldFirm #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #ScottishFootball #CelticFC #MotherwellFC #DundeeUnitedFC #KilmarnockFC #ScottishPremiership #RangersFC #DundeeUtd #DundeeFC #Hearts #HeartofMidlothian #Thugsandthieves #scotlandnationalteam #ibrox #christmas   Proper Supporter of the @SPFL   Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media -http://wh.bet/Ads 

As Celtic and Hearts prepare for their top of the table clash at Tynecastle, The Warm-Up assembles for a special edition examining one of the tightest title races in recent memory. For this special show, Paul Hartley and Barrie McKay make their Warm-Up debuts alongside Charlie Adam, looking ahead to this weekend’s game and reflecting on their own experience of title run-ins. Paul can speak from both painful and happy memory, having come tantalisingly close to title glory with Hearts before going on to win it with Celtic under Gordon Strachan. Having made over a century of appearances for both Hearts and Rangers, Barrie offers insight into how this current Jambos’ side is handling the pressure, identifying one significant test which has already been passed with flying colours. Charlie Adam also looks to Ibrox, where a player he worked with at Everton is showing signs of growing into the role of Rangers number 9.

Is Celtic’s former Holy Goalie the best player to don the keeper’s jersey in Paradise? Listen now to find out.

Chris Sutton, Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith assemble in the wake of Rangers’ decision to part company with CEO Patrick Stewart and Sporting Director, Kevin Thelwell.  The team discuss what this means for a club which has already made managerial changes this season.  In this special emergency podcast they also look to Celtic, their recent AGM and the work that needs to be done to repair relations between an embattled board and fans. Also on the agenda are Scotland’s World Cup heroics, a chance for Tony Bloom and Hearts and Celtic’s search for a manager. 00:00 STARTS 00:55 Sutton joins the Tartan Army 01:35 Naisy on that night v Denmark 02:35 ‘Unprecedented’ change at Ibrox 05:55 Ibrox is not a good place to work 07:33 Knowing the game 10:10 No clear understanding of the plan 12:25 a decisive move 14:15 Rangers return to the market that fails them 17:08 What’s going on at Celtic 19:41 Celtic AGM 24:44 New Celtic Manager 25:40 How important is January for Hearts, Celtic and Rangers 26:20 Next big guest reveal 

Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith are joined by Rangers and England legend Terry Butcher for The Warm-Up's latest big interview. Captain for club and country, Butcher goes back to his early days with Bobby Robson at Ipswich and charts the path that led him to Ibrox, where he became a key figure in the club’s nine-in-a-row run. He reveals how his career could have taken him to Old Trafford and talks about the culture shock that awaited him in Glasgow. He also explains how an early encounter with the late Davie Cooper convinced him to move north. Butcher’s time in Scotland was certainly eventful as he became a trusted leader under Graeme Souness, won three league titles and two league cups and established Rangers as a dominant force in Scotland and Europe. In the interview, he also reflects on his experiences with England, which included World Cups, bloodstained bandages and a now notorious encounter with Diego Maradona. And, on the subject of lingering resentment, he talks about Old Firm arrests, criminal records and why he still has beef with Frank McAvennie. Looking to the most recent chapters of his career the interview also covers his time as a manager, which saw him enjoy success with Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Motherwell, spells with Partick Thistle and Hibernian and as Scotland assistant. 00:00 STARTS 02:15 “I didn’t think I was good enough” 03:58 “I don't know why we have signed you, you’re useless” 06:09 Sir Bobby Robson 07:43 “Bobby made you feel 10 feet tall” 14:00 Striving for perfection 15:35 The move to Rangers 17:00 Overtures in Mexico 18:15 Man United wanted me 20:00 Davie Cooper was a breath of fresh air 21:30 I underestimated Rangers 23:00 “Show the crowd you’re ready” 26:00 “You should see the tattoos on the women” 27:30 Team talks with Graeme Souness and Walter Smith 30:05 Breaking a leg 33:20 You’re under arrest 37:35 I’ll never forgive Maradona 42:15 Meeting Diego – again 45:08 Italia 90 48:25 Managerial ambitions 52:11 Managerial realities 52:33 Getting the sack 54:09 Back home to Scotland 58:53 Joining the Tartan Army 01:04:21 Boozegate 01:07:55 A return to management? 🎧 Listen to The Warm-Up wherever you get your podcasts. https://linktr.ee/williamhillspfl   Follow WilliamHillSPFL:  ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl 18+ please gamble responsibly. Proper Supporter of the @SPFL  Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media - http://wh.bet/Ads

Who are the SPFL’s GOATed strikers?  Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton are joined by Charlie Adam for The Warm-Up's first big debate of the season.  A few special caveats are in place for this one with Boyd and Sutton OUT of the running along with Celtic legend Henrik Larsson, who is widely accepted as Scottish football’s greatest forward of all time.  Several key names are in contention, with Chris Sutton identifying the man he succeeded at Celtic Park as one of his favourites.   Boyd looks to his strike partners at club and international level - and in England - to make his case for one striker who ‘won’ titles for two clubs in Scotland.  Adam, meanwhile, puts forward two names from the team he supported as a boy who he sees as worthy contenders.  00:00 Start 02:17 The other Sutton 03:09 Chris on Mark Viduka 03:59 Michael Mols - what might have been 04:55 Kris on getting Kenny Miller match fit 05:40 Big Bad John 06:40 Scott McDonald 07:07 Kyogo v Edouard 08:18 Shankland v Morelos 12:29 Playing for the Old Firm 13:30 McDonald v Griffiths 15:15 The top fives  18:13 Behind the scenes 18:35 And the lights go out...  🎧 Now available on all major podcast platforms. linktr.ee/williamhillspfl    Follow WilliamHillSPFL:   ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL  📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl  📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl    18+ Please gamble responsibly. Proper Supporter of the @SPFL   Watch The Warm-Up on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media - http://wh.bet/Ads
