What will Scottish Premiership football look like this season? David Currie is joined by coach and analyst John Walker and former midfielder Scott Allan for a tactical deep dive into the campaigns ahead. From Hearts' ambitious "organised chaos" under Wouter Vrancken to Celtic's attempts to replace Daizen Maeda's relentless pressing, the panel examine the biggest strategic shifts across the league. There's analysis of Derek McInnes' Rangers rebuild, Hibernian's continued commitment to a back three, Motherwell's efforts to maintain their identity after a summer of change and why Falkirk remain one of the most fascinating teams to watch. The discussion also covers Dundee United's evolution under Jim Goodwin, Neil McCann's influence at Kilmarnock, St Mirren's new direction under Craig McLeish and concerns over St Johnstone's prospects. If you want to understand not just who might win, but how Scottish clubs plan to do it, this is the episode for you.
