The Warm-Up by William Hill

The King has arrived on The Warm-Up, as Kenny Dalglish joins Kris Boyd, Steven Naismith and the man he signed for a British transfer record as this month’s big guest. 
In a comprehensive interview, which starts with early days playing in youth teams in Glasgow and launching his career in Junior football, King Kenny talks about what drove him to become arguably the greatest player Scotland has produced. 
He talks candidly about growing up in the Lions’ Den, alongside the players who won the European Cup for Celtic, and about his relationship with legendary manager Jock Stein. 
His move south to Liverpool and how it unfolded is discussed before he talks about his time at Anfield and playing in a great Liverpool side. 
His surprise promotion to player-manager is covered as is his time in charge at Liverpool, Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers where he sealed another historic title triumph. 
Not surprisingly he has a few stories about Warm-Up host Chris Sutton, including how his record signing fancied himself as centre half and squared up to Ian Wright! 
He talks honestly about his return to Paradise and what went wrong and his ‘move’ to Rangers as ‘Director of Football’.  
Watch the full episode as Kenny Dalglish meets Chris Sutton, Kris Boyd and Steven Naismith on The Warm-Up.

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?!

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. Charlie and the team also look at the transfer window, which they believe could decide the title race, at business done and deals still to be made.
