A new episode of the Radio Scotland “Midweek Mayhem in the SPFL” podcast aired on 29 October 2026, offering a comprehensive review of the week’s Scottish Premiership action. Host Jane Lewis was joined by former player Cammy Bell and former manager Michael Grant to dissect the most dramatic moments, from a fiery return to Tynecastle to the implications for clubs across the league.
The discussion opened with a focus on Derek McInnes’ controversial homecoming at Tynecastle, where the former Rangers manager was greeted with a “crackling” reception from the supporters. Lewis and her guests examined the intensity of the welcome and its impact on the club’s atmosphere. They then moved on to Rangers’ performance, questioning what the team was missing after a disappointing outing.
A highlight of the week was Celtic’s narrow defeat at Dundee United, a result that left the Celtic faithful uneasy about the club’s defensive solidity. The hosts debated why Celtic still appear vulnerable at the back despite their recent successes, and how Dundee United’s defensive display could influence future tactics.
The podcast also touched on individual player concerns, notably Kasper Høgh’s goal drought. Lewis, Bell, and Grant discussed when the Danish striker might return to the scoresheet and what the club might do to support him.
In other news, Hibernian secured their first point under new manager, a modest but encouraging result for the club. The conversation explored whether this points haul indicates progress and what the next steps might be for the team.
Finally, the episode addressed mounting pressure at Aberdeen, with the club’s recent form prompting questions about necessary changes. The discussion concluded with a look at what adjustments Kilmarnock and Motherwell might need to make to improve their standings in the coming weeks.
