Frankly Speaking returns and this week Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston dig into Scotland’s World Cup hopes and the big selection dilemmas ahead.

Frank and Simon discuss whether Callum McGregor and Harvey Barnes should be in the squad, how Scotland can get the best out of their midfield, and what the team needs to go deep in the tournament.

Frank also looks back at the 1986 World Cup and explains why he believes Sir Alex Ferguson made a big mistake by not starting him alongside Charlie Nicholas. He talks through how close he felt Scotland were to doing something special with the right partnerships on the pitch.

Plenty of strong opinions, laughs and classic Macca honesty.

Frank and Simon are joined by comedian Des McLean and playwright Jim Orr for a fast, funny and fiery episode. Jim talks about If You Know You’re History?, their new Celtic stage show coming to the Pavilion next August, and how it revisits the club’s darkest days in the early 90s.

Des brings the laughs with his voices and a brilliant story about the time he phoned Sean Connery pretending to be Billy Connolly. The pair also reflect on their earlier success Bend It Like Bertie.

Jim gives his blunt view on the Celtic AGM, explaining what he believes should have happened and comparing the Desmond family to the old Kelly regime.

And Frank reacts to Terry Butcher’s latest attack, revisiting their famous bust-up that ended up in court. Connolly chaos, AGM honesty and Butcher battles — a true Know Your History episode.

Frankly Speaking is back and Frank McAvennie is not holding back.

Frank reacts to Terry Butcher saying he still has an issue from the old firm shame game and refused an invite onto this podcast. Frank fires right back, calling Butcher boring and insisting he never wanted him on anyway.

The lads also look at Scotland’s incredible win against Denmark. Frank praises Kieran Tierney, saying he is now showing his very best form again.

Frank then turns to Celtic and calls for calm between supporters and the board, saying the club needs unity more than ever.

This week Frank sits down with a fellow former Celtic striker, the one and only Cillian “The Sheriff” Sheridan, for a fast, funny and wonderfully unpredictable conversation.

Cillian reflects on arriving in Scotland as a young Irish lad and the sheer delight of being handed a three year Celtic contract by the much loved Tommy Burns, a moment that changed everything for him. From there, his career became one of the great football odysseys as he tries to name all 17 clubs he has played for across Europe and beyond.

The Sheriff talks about learning Chinese on his travels, why he thinks Irish players have a special resilience, and how proud he is to see Ireland reach the World Cup play offs, helped by the heroics of Dublin boy Troy Parrott, who came through the same youth club.

Frank and Cillian also look ahead to the 2026 World Cup, sharing hopes, predictions and a fair bit of wishful thinking.

Warm, hilarious and full of stories only Cillian Sheridan could tell.

This week on Let Me Be Frank, Frank McAvennie and Simon Houston sit down with former Celtic, West Ham and Northern Ireland goalkeeper Allen McKnight. His career had everything from the highs of Celtic’s centenary season to the tough days of the McKnightmare headlines and plenty of wild nights out.

Allen talks about growing up in a Protestant household in Northern Ireland, supporting the other side of the Glasgow divide, and then finding himself in goal for Celtic in the 1988 Scottish Cup Final win. He also reflects on his friendship with Anton Rogan, who faced abuse for playing for Northern Ireland, and how football helped both men navigate a divided time back home.

There are plenty of laughs as Allen and Macca look back on their nights out, the characters in the Celtic dressing room, and the moment he won over West Ham fans who once gave him that unforgettable nickname.

Honest, funny, emotional and packed with great stories. One of football’s most entertaining characters tells it exactly as it was.
