Podcast: After dramatic Euro comeback, have Celtic found spark? It's the SPFL weekend preview

What the report says

BBC Sport Football’s Scottish Football Podcast uses the latest weekend slate to assess whether Celtic’s dramatic European comeback could mark a turning point in their season. In the episode, host Andy Burke is joined by Scott Allan and Gordon Waddell to discuss whether Celtic can carry that momentum into a Premiership match against Kilmarnock.

The preview also examines several other fixtures across Scotland’s top flight. Hearts, who are described in the programme notes as dealing with an injury problem, face the prospect of being tested by an in-form Falkirk side at Tynecastle. Rangers’ trip to St Mirren is framed as another chance to sustain pressure in the title race, while the podcast also looks ahead to the Tayside derby and the meeting between Aberdeen and Hibs.

Elsewhere, the episode considers whether Motherwell can build on a much-needed victory when they visit Dundee United. The discussion reflects a weekend with important implications both at the top and in the middle of the table, as clubs try to turn recent results into momentum.

The podcast episode was published on 6 November 2026 and is available through BBC Radio Scotland. In broader context, weekend preview shows like this typically gauge how a midweek European result may influence domestic form, especially when a club is seeking a season reset.
