Tam McManus has taken a light hearted pop at the Ibrox bias of Radio Scotland.
With a regular cast picked from Derek Ferguson, Steven Thompson, Billy Dodds, Alex Rae, Barry Ferguson and Kris Boyd the state broadcaster has almost as many EBT holders on air as Alex McLeish’s trophy winning pictures.
Should they ever be running out of local history lessons to drool over a flight to Amsterdam can quickly be arranged to pick up on the thoughts of Michael Mols or Ronald de Boer.
Or if in doubt with which story to lead with just talk about Rangers/Barry Ferguson @bbckennymac ???? https://t.co/b2nMGUCgM3

Kenny McIntyre’s school-boy like fascination for Barry Ferguson’s tales from the glory days is a regular feature on midweek Sportsound while topics like the Offshore Game and a decade of industrial scale cheating are carefully sidestepped.
McManus has managed to break the mould and has established a reputation for straight talking and giving an insight into the self doubts and dilemmas that run through a footballers career.
