    Manager SHOCKS and player CHEAT sheets in The Warm-Up team of the season

    26/05/2026 | 26 mins.
    It's time to pick the team and manager of the 2025/26 season – but with a twist. 
    Playing in a special format, where they can only choose ONE person from each of the top-flight clubs, Kris Boyd, Steven Naismith and Chris Sutton pick the best from the William Hill Premiership. 
    Find out who features across all three of The Warm-Up teams. Is Chris holding Kris to rules he’s not following? And why is Steven looking for a Luke – or is it a Lewis – in Livingston? 
    Watch the full show and tell us your team and manager, following the same rules as The Warm-Up team, in the comments below.

    Scotland's Player of the Season with NO Old Firm contenders | The Warm-Up

    21/05/2026 | 22 mins.
    In this season of surprises, unlikely and unexpected stars have emerged to light up the William Hill Premiership. 
    As The Warm-Up team discuss their Player of the Season, few have been at Celtic Park and Ibrox, but at places like Fir Park, Falkirk and Tynecastle. 
    Kris Boyd, Steven Naismith and Chris Sutton look at the key players who have driven Hearts’ title challenge and those who have been vital components in Motherwell’s free-flowing football. 
    They discuss the Bairns who have become men under John McGlynn and look at who has driven Hibs to a top six finish. 
    And are there really no Old Firm contenders in a season where Rangers finished third and Celtic clinched the title on the final day? 
    Watch the full show and tell us who we have missed in the comments below. 
    00:00 STARTS 
    01:05 The team I have enjoyed watching most this season 
    01:56 “Not a fan of Nygren” 
    02:58 “Any Rangers players in there?” 
    04:16 A Just cause at Fir Park 
    06:58 Motherwell’s vital spark 
    08:52 The leaders at Tynecastle 
    09:46 Leonard brings quality control 
    11:57 The jewel in Hearts’ crown 
    14:48 Why has no one taken a chance on him? 
    17:26 A call-up for Scotland? 
    17:58 All we hear is Claudio Braga
