Frank and Simon return with a fiery Frankly Speaking after Celtic’s underwhelming draw with Hearts at the weekend.

Frank does not hold back as he questions Celtic’s physicality, describing the performance as lightweight and saying Hearts bullied their way through the game at key moments. He also reacts strongly to the Trusty red card, insisting the referee got it right initially and that VAR official John Beaton should never have got involved in overturning the decision.

The conversation then turns to the wider picture at Celtic. Frank accuses Dermot Desmond of showing a complete lack of respect to supporters and says the disconnect between the board and the fans has never felt wider. There is also concern over Martin O’Neill, with Frank suggesting the Celtic legend looks disheartened by the current situation.

With the transfer window dragging on and pressure building, Frank makes it clear where the responsibility lies and why the board must act now.

Raw, angry and completely unfiltered Frank McAvennie, exactly as Frankly Speaking should be.

Paul Hartley joins Simon and Frank for a brilliant conversation reflecting on a career that took him to the very top of Scottish football.

A former Hearts, Celtic and Scotland midfielder, Paul gives his honest view on who he sees as favourites ahead of Sunday’s Hearts vs Celtic clash, drawing on his unique perspective of having worn both shirts.

He looks back on an outstanding career, sharing memories from Tynecastle, Celtic Park and the international stage, and speaks warmly about the managers who shaped him, including Tommy Burns, Walter Smith and Gordon Strachan.

Paul also relives the sheer brilliance of Shunsuke Nakamura, explaining why he was mesmerised by playing alongside him, and opens up on the chaos, characters and unforgettable moments from the Vladimir Romanov era at Hearts.

Insightful, honest and full of great stories, this is a must listen for anyone who loves Scottish football.
