Joe McHugh | 22:12 20/04/25 For the second week running a dubious VAR decision was called against Celtic.

Joe McHugh | 10:37 20/04/25 Ewan Cameron put on a show of proud defiance on the back of his worst 48 hours of the season. There haven’t been many highlights for the radio celebrity to enjoy but season ending defeats for his two clubs within 48 hours must be difficult to take.
