The Warm-Up by William Hill

Two big comeback victories saw Hearts hold firm at the top of the William Hill Premiership and second-placed Rangers stay within touching distance. 
Celtic also kept their nerve in third with a narrow 1-0 win over St Mirren but, in the latest episode of The Warm-Up, Chris Sutton says that it is now a two-horse race in Scotland. 
The team also turn an eye to matters off the park and discuss the return of the Green Brigade to Celtic Park and ask if Celtic’s top goalscorer is good enough for the English top-flight, with suitors supposedly monitoring his progress. 
They also turn their gaze to this weekend’s Scottish Cup semi finals, to the William Hill Championship title race and look at Scottish football’s ongoing VAR headaches. 
Watch the full episode and tell the team what you think in the comments below.

The post-split fixtures have been released and the SPFL Premiership is heading for an exciting end to the season at the top and bottom – with a three-way title fight and several teams aiming to avoid the relegation Playoff.  

On the latest Warm-Up, Kris Boyd, Chris Sutton and a returning Steven Naismith debate the fixtures, which team will be happiest with their schedule and whether the title will be decided on the final day. 

At the top, the guys disagree on where the title will end up, and which team might end up in the dreaded relegation Playoff – including one that Kris is “very worried about”.

The young stars who lit up the Scottish game are the subject of this month’s fierce debate on The Warm-Up. 
Just how do you rank a football Wonderkid? By how brightly and brilliantly they burst onto the scene or how they fulfilled their potential?  
This month Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton are joined by a bona fide Wonderkid and one of the best to grace the Scottish game in James McFadden for a game of Winner Stays On. 
Where will Faddy end up in the final reckoning? And who did Chris think had the potential to be one of the very best?

Kris Boyd of Celtic? Sutty the Ger? 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.

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.
