In this episode of The Go Radio Football Show, Paul Cooney is joined by Award Winning Journalist Mark Guidi and Rangers Legend Barry Ferguson. This episode drops listeners right into one of the most chaotic, entertaining, and drama‑packed weeks in Scottish football.  The trio break down a whirlwind of transfer twists, injury blows, managerial shake‑ups, and the ever‑tightening title race. From Kyogo’s will‑he/won’t‑he Celtic saga to Rangers’ early transfer strikes, plus Hearts’ unexpected grip on the top spot, this episode is a rapid‑fire blend of insight, debate, and classic Go Radio Football Show energy. Kyogo Says No (For Now) Celtic’s pursuit of Kyogo hits a wall as the striker appears set to stay at Birmingham. The panel debate whether he’d have transformed Celtic’s attack—and whether the door is really closed. Rangers Move Early in the Window Two under‑21 internationals are on the brink of signing. Barry Ferguson breaks down their profiles and where they fit into Danny Rohl’s system. Expectation of more arrivals, especially in midfield and attack. Injury Hammer Blow at Ibrox Barron ruled out for up to 12 weeks with a knee ligament injury. Sterling also sidelined until late January. What this means for Rangers’ midfield balance and title push. Martin O’Neill Returns (Again) O’Neill’s second comeback in two months sparks debate about tactics, squad fit, and whether he’ll revert to a back four. Who leads the line for Celtic this weekend?  Title Race: Three‑Way Chaos Hearts remain top and are earning respect. Mark Guidi argues 83–85 points wins the league—and doubts Celtic or Rangers can hit that consistency. Predictions fly, callers weigh in, and the tension builds.

The Go Radio Football Show: 8th of January, 2026. This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show.  Don’t miss it – PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! In this episode of The Go Radio Football Show, Paul Cooney is joined by Celtic Hero Charlie Mulgrew and Rangers Hero Chris Burke. Fast‑paced football debate packed with transfer news, candid insight, and big‑picture questions about leadership, pressure, and identity in the Scottish game.   This episode blends breaking news, emotional reflection, and no‑nonsense analysis from people who have lived the pressures of Celtic, Rangers, and the national team.   Real‑time reactions, inside dressing‑room perspective, and honest disagreement—the kind of conversation that only happens when former players and managers speak freely.   Chris Burke Signs Off in Style In his final appearance before joining Brentford, Burke reflects on his journey, elite coaching environments, and the realities of modern football. His breakdown of why some managers succeed where others struggle is a standout moment.   Kyogo’s Potential Celtic Return – Smart Move or Step Back? The panel debates the surprise links bringing Kyogo back to Celtic: legacy vs. logic, short‑term goals vs. long‑term planning—and whether nostalgia ever wins titles.   Martin O’Neill: The Only Man for the Moment Why his return calms Celtic, unifies fans, and resets standards. The discussion goes beyond tactics, digging into authority, credibility, and leadership under pressure.   Rangers Resurgence Under Danny Röhl Clean sheets, confidence, and clarity. The team dissect what’s changed, why results matter more than aesthetics right now, and how Röhl is extracting value from a flawed squad.   The £8–10 Million Striker Question Is Rangers’ young number nine finally clicking—or is patience still required? Honest assessments of pressure, confidence, and the unfair weight of transfer fees.   Old Firm Pressure Like You’ve Never Heard It Explained Mulgrew and Burke share rare, raw insights about imposter syndrome, scrutiny, and why playing for Celtic or Rangers is unlike anywhere else.   Title Race Wide Open Hearts, Motherwell, Rangers, Celtic—all discussed seriously. Why this season feels different, and why history might be the only argument against a genuine four‑way race.   January Window Reality Check Big numbers, young prospects, and tough choices. What transfers actually fix—and what no signing can solve.   Listener Calls That Drive the Conversation Passionate, informed fans challenge the panel, sparking some of the episode’s smartest exchanges on recruitment, mentality, and trust.     The Go Radio Football Show, weeknights from 5pm-7pm across Scotland on DAB,  YouTube, Smart Speaker <launch Go Radio> and on the Go Radio App. IOS: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/go-radio/id1510971202  Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.thisisgo.goradio&pcampaignid=web_share  In Association with Burger King.

The Go Radio Football Show: 7th of January, 2026. This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show.  Don’t miss it – PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! In this episode of The Go Radio Football Show, Paul Cooney is joined by Celtic Hero Andy Walker and Rangers Legend Barry Ferguson. The panel unpack a chaotic Celtic managerial saga, Rangers’ resurgence under Danny Röhl, Hearts’ title credentials, and the shifting landscape across the Scottish Premiership.  Celtic Chaos & Martin O’Neill’s Return The panel reacts to Celtic’s turbulent 33‑day experiment with Wilfried Nancy. Why Martin O’Neill’s return feels both necessary and overdue. The squad’s glaring recruitment failures—no striker, no winger, no centre‑half—and how that’s shaping the title race. Rangers’ Revival Under Danny Röhl Rangers climb from 13 points behind to within touching distance of the top. Set‑piece transformation: how Röhl and his staff turned corners into weapons. Which positions Rangers must strengthen in January (left‑sided defender, left‑back, midfielder, striker). Are Hearts the Real Title Favourites? Andy Walker makes the bold claim: Hearts are favourites right now. Derek McInnes’ impact and why consistency—not budget—is driving their rise. What Hearts need in the window to stay in the fight. Aberdeen’s Technical Director Drama Why the panel was baffled by the Aberdeen technical director sitting on the bench. The growing tension between managers and sporting directors across Scotland. Kilmarnock Shake‑Up Neil McCann and Billy Dodds take charge—can they keep Killie up? Why their first match is already a season‑defining moment. Scotland’s World Cup Year Early excitement as the national team prepares for its first World Cup in 28 years. Who’s pushing for a place in Steve Clarke’s squad.

The Go Radio Football Show: 6th of January, 2026. This is a catch-up version of the live, daily Go Radio Football show.  Don’t miss it – PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! In this episode of The Go Radio Football Show, Paul Cooney is joined by Celtic Hero Charlie Mulgrew and Award Winning Journalist Mark Guidi. Martin O’Neill returns to Celtic for a THIRD spell, just weeks after being pushed aside — and only days after the club spiralled under Wilfried Nancy. This episode dissects the brutal realities of modern football management, and whether experience, authority and simplicity can still beat “projects” and sporting directors. Martin O’Neill Returns — Again O’Neill speaks candidly about the strangeness, pressure and reality of stepping back into the Celtic hot seat. No magic wand. No excuses. Just urgency, credibility and results. Why this short-term appointment could either steady Celtic or expose deep-rooted flaws. Celtic’s Breakdown Laid Bare Eight catastrophic games. 18 goals conceded. Tactical confusion. Why Wilfried Nancy’s rigidity proved fatal — and why the warning signs were obvious. The quiet sacking of Paul Tisdale and how football directors escape blame. “It’s Players, Not Systems” Why O’Neill rejects over-complication. The return to clean sheets, defensive trust, and dressing-room authority. A blunt rejection of “project managers” at elite clubs. January Window: Make or Break Celtic need 2 strikers, a centre-back, a midfielder — minimum. Rangers also need quality, not quantity. The danger of late moves, loans, and panic buys. Rangers Are Back Danny Röhl's tweaks expose Celtic’s fragility. Chermiti redemption. Tavernier restored. Belief rising. Rangers now genuine title contenders again. Hearts Lead… But Can They Hold? Six points clear — but are Hearts ready for the pressure? Why being chased is harder than leading. The season where everything might swing late. Motherwell: Everyone’s Talking About Them “The best footballing performance of the season.” Why neutral fans can’t look away. Could Motherwell actually split — or crash — the Old Firm?
