    Apr 20 2026

The lads discuss whether O’Neill has actually reinforced Frank’s long-held view that Celtic can dominate games while still frustrating supporters at times. They also look at Celtic’s dramatic extra-time burst against St Mirren, with Kelechi Iheanacho suddenly emerging as a major weapon for the run-in after two superb goals. James Forrest impressed again too, but has his Scotland chance come just too late despite another reminder of his quality? Another lively Frankly Speaking with strong opinions and plenty of debate.

    Former Category One referees Steve Conroy and Des Roache join Frank and Simon for a candid look at the state of Scottish refereeing.


    They discuss why VAR is causing growing frustration, why Scotland continues to be overlooked for major international appointments, and whether officials are falling behind at the top level.


    There’s also their verdict on the weekend’s big decisions, questions around whether the current system is working, and honest insight into leadership, coaching and confidence within the game.


    Steve reflects on the pressures of refereeing in Scotland, addresses being a Celtic fan and why it never impacted his performances, and explains why he was trusted with only one Old Firm match. Des adds his own perspective on the scrutiny, personalities and demands that come with officiating at the highest level.


    A proper behind-the-scenes look at refereeing in Scotland.
