I’m delighted to announce a new show celebrating the #Scotland footballers who went to the #WorldCup … and then came home to soon. And often in disgrace!
The Toe Poke is presented by Raymond Mearns and me and stars our #scotland heroes.
Available wherever you get your podcasts, including YouTube.

Thanks to all who came to the #6Nations #Glasgow #FanZone at #Drygate.
#GlasgowWarriors’ Johnny Matthews was a top guest.
An enjoyable day… apart from the effing rugby.
Book your table for free for #England at drygate.com - come & meet #Scotland legend John Beattie.

Happy new year! 🐣

I’m sad that one of my heroes, John Robertson, has died.
His Wembley winner secured his status as a legend for my generation of Scotland fans.
I was lucky to get to know Robbo when he assisted Martin O’Neill at Celtic. An amiable guy but a serious football man.
Thoughts with his family & friends.

A very merry Christmas from me to you and yours.

The upset everybody saw coming.
#StMirren win the League Cup for only the second time.
And they deserved it.
A shambolic #Celtic side lose a second major final of 2025.
Wilfried Nancy looks like he’s in the wrong movie. The Celtic board have a decision to make…
Congratulations to Stephen Robinson.

FFS!!!!!!

Life after Martin O’Neill begins for Celtic now.
Martin worked his magic by winning 7 out of 8 games (domestic and UEL). Celtic were 8 behind Hearts when he returned - now they’re level.
Big shoes for Wilfried Nancy to fill.
📻I’m covering #Celtic v #Hearts on talkSPORT

I was pleased to support the campaign to save the world’s first purpose-built international football ground - the original Hampden Park. What is now @hampdenbowling club should be saved for local people and for the international football community.

A pleasure to join with fellow ambassadors, friends, supporters and staff to mark 70 years of Action for Children.
With over 800 staff working with young people in Scotland - all driven by love - it was lovely to see their work recognised with a parliamentary reception at the Scottish Parliament.

Lest we forget.

I was at #Rangers v #Roma for talkSPORT.
Ibrox a colosseum on #europaleague nights such as these.
Although, nobody told Nasser Djiga…

Three shows at the Glasgow Pavilion with audiences of over 3000 this weekend!
The revamped “Billy and Tim” show is a box office hit.
A thrill to be in the cast again and to welcome Old Firm legends David Robertson and Jackie McNamara to the team.
Great lads. Great times.

Where were you when… For the first time, Bill McFarlan lifts the lid on the story behind the stories and the laughs and tears behind the headlines.

TV presenter Bill McFarlan has produced a show reviewing the major news & sports stories he covered.
“Where were you when…” is on 30 Oct at Eastwood Park Theatre.
From Glasgow’s Ice Cream Wars to Band Aid via Souness & McNeill, it’ll be fascinating.

#Scotland’s goalie at three World Cup finals: Mexico’86, Italia’90 and France’98: Jim Leighton. 91 caps!
Lovely to meet big Jim when he was on hospitality lounge duties. The ex- Manchester United, Hibs and Aberdeen keeper made the front cover of the match programme.

One of the game’s gentlemen.
Lovely to see big Davie Weir at the talkSPORT outside broadcast in Arnold Clark in Glasgow.
🚙⚡️📻

Great to see Alan Brazil, Gabby Agbonlahor and the team from #sportsbreakfast in Glasgow.
We’re all still trying to work out how Scotland could play so badly and yet dig out a crucial win. And with 33% possession!
@talksport and @arnoldclark_ltd #charge gave away an #mgs5 electric car on the show!

I had my shin guards on for working with John “Bomber” Brown and David Robertson.
Once they tackled you, you stayed tackled!
Great night. Big Laughs. Thanks to all who came along. 🎤 ⚽️

A little corner of #naples will forever be touched by the hand of God. An amazing stop for football tourists.

The boys’ trip to the mighty Stadio San Siro was fantastico. Great football tourism.
The video features a brief cameo appearance from Udinese’s new signing Lennon Miller, who left Milan with a win bonus.
Good luck in Serie A, young man!

At the San Siro for a 2nd night of watching Scotland players in Serie A.
Last night I saw Scott McTominay push Napoli to a win (and Billy Gilmour warming-up).
Tonight, I hope to see Lennon Miller come off the bench for Udinese.
Celtic and Rangers could have done with him today…

Saturday night at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. #napoli

Game day here in Naples.
This lad McTominay is apparently decent.

Great to see an old pal, James Gardner, thriving on stage during his sell out #edinburghfringe stint.
Funny, funny lad.
He’s appearing back home in Scotland again soon - get a ticket. Great night out.

I enjoyed hearing Jason Connery talk about his father ahead of a showing of classic #JamesBond at the Edinburgh Film Festival.
#seanconnery as #007 in “You Only Live Twice” looked immense on the big screen.

Football meets the festival.
@talksport.com’s Ally McCoist on sensational storytelling form at the #Edinburgh book festival. Super Ally’s book is out now.
