A Statement Of Sport

It would be fair to say that certain figures in Scottish football could have used a PR expert in recent days.  Thankfully, media and comms professional Gordon Sheach was on hand to give his perspective on a recent incident that has had all of Scottish football talking about a particular League One club. The Tartan Scarf founder Gordon writes, tweets and presents a podcast about the Scottish national team, and he discusses what a country-over-club man does with his weekends, looks at Scotland's playoff hopes, explains why he takes issue with the idea of 'glorious failure', shares a touching story of friendship and football that went viral during the Euros, fills the show's weekly 'Not a Motherwell fan but this is class' quota and talks up Scottish football's 'homemade vibe' Clean energy researcher Fraser Stewart is a Celtic fan who's presented widely-shared BBC Social videos on mental health. He reveals which Celtic player he'll happily share his home with, picks out the two issues Ange Postecoglou needs to address in January, tackles misconceptions around bipolar disorder, explains the importance of following up mental health 'cliches' with real action, has his say on whether COP26 could have been a Zoom call and why it could lead to a 'legacy of resentment' and suggests changes Scottish clubs could make to reduce their environmental impact.  Adam puts questions from Twitter to his guests, asks them to identify a mystery VIP Celtic fan, debunks a myth involving a certain League One club's recent Q&A and ruins his chances of a sponsorship deal with a particular high street retailer.
