Scott Brown and Steven Whittaker join The Warm-Up team for the latest big interview, covering their lives on and off the park and their partnership in the dug out.

The former Celtic captain and Rangers full-back faced each other on opposite sides of the Glasgow divide after starting life as key players in one of Hibs’ greatest teams.

The pair talk about how they were Old Firm enemies on the park but remained firm friends off it, looking back on their time at the clubs.

They also talk about their recent departure from Ayr United and whether or not they will remain a managerial duo or go it alone.

And Scott and Steven get to confront two of The Warm-Up hosts about their own field tussles, with Broony and Steven Naismith getting into the touchline clash at Tynecastle that left one of them nursing their crown jewels.

Two big comeback victories saw Hearts hold firm at the top of the William Hill Premiership and second-placed Rangers stay within touching distance.

They also turn their gaze to this weekend’s Scottish Cup semi finals, to the William Hill Championship title race and look at Scottish football’s ongoing VAR headaches.

The post-split fixtures have been released and the SPFL Premiership is heading for an exciting end to the season at the top and bottom – with a three-way title fight and several teams aiming to avoid the relegation Playoff.

On the latest Warm-Up, Kris Boyd, Chris Sutton and a returning Steven Naismith debate the fixtures, which team will be happiest with their schedule and whether the title will be decided on the final day.

At the top, the guys disagree on where the title will end up, and which team might end up in the dreaded relegation Playoff – including one that Kris is “very worried about”.

This month Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton are joined by a bona fide Wonderkid and one of the best to grace the Scottish game in James McFadden for a game of Winner Stays On.

Where will Faddy end up in the final reckoning? And who did Chris think had the potential to be one of the very best?

Kris Boyd of Celtic? Sutty the Ger? Can you imagine a world where The Warm-Up hosts pulled on the shirts of their greatest rivals?

Both Kris and Chris Sutton are asked to contemplate playing for the other side in this month’s Mailbag, with Boydy looking for a certain Henrik Larsson to do his running.

Joined by James McFadden to answer your questions, the team also discuss football friends (and enemies) and football traitors.

They also look at how this current, high-flying Motherwell side compares to other great SPFL teams and if we will ever see a team like St Johnstone, do another cup double.

Raised by Sir Bobby Robson and playing as one of the stars in a Trinidad and Tobago team which included a young Dwight Yorke, Russell Latapy was largely unknown when he first arrived in Scottish football in 1998.

Over the next decade with Hibernian, Rangers, Dundee United and Falkirk, the little playmaker would prove to be one of the Scottish game’s great entertainers and an inspirational talisman for his clubs.

Joining Chris Sutton, Kris Boyd and James McFadden for the latest Big Interview on The Warm-Up, Russell tells the comprehensive story of his life, from his formative years in the Caribbean, to joining Porto under the great Sir Bobby.

He talks of his encounters with a young Jose Mourinho and Andres Villas-Boas in Portugal, of his move to Scotland and time playing under some of the game’s great characters, including Yogi Hughes and Dick Advocaat.

The interview also covers his friendship, nights out and managerial partnership with Yorke, a possible return to Scotland and includes a carnival invite for Boydy, Sutty and Faddy.

The Old Firm prepare to dance again this weekend – this time in the quarter finals of the Scottish Cup.

On a Warm-Up cup special, regular hosts Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd are joined by James McFadden to look ahead to the weekend’s ties.

For the second week running, Ibrox again provides the venue for the Glasgow derby and, as the team explain, this is turning out to be a bigger game for Rangers manager Danny Rohl than it is for opposite number Martin O’Neill.

The team also discuss Celtic’s selection issues, who starts in goal and exactly how they will line up as their manager tries to figure out the reason behind their slow starts and late rallies.

Looking at the other ties, Faddy foils a pile-on as Chris and Kris take aim at an under-performing St Mirren team. They ask if the Buddies have taken their foot off the gas following their League Cup win, threatening a remarkable double.

The team also smell an upset at East End Park, where Dunfermline face Aberdeen, discuss Falkirk v Dundee United, and give their match predictions.

Where does the William Hill Premiership stand after another extraordinary weekend and the latest Old Firm derby?

Joined by James McFadden for the latest Warm-Up, Kris Boyd and Chris Sutton discuss the weekend’s games, why “the strangest player in Scottish football” is currently playing in the Celtic midfield and the enigmatic Ranger who turns it on for the big matches.

The Warm-Up team also look at the managers and how they are coping with the pressure of the title race, asking if Danny Rohl really needed to get in Celtic’s business ahead of the match.

And, with league leading Hearts in focus, Chris asks if their manager could be the weak link in the title run-in?

Also on the agenda is “the best football side in the league” and how far the Steelmen can go before their manager inevitably moves on.
