31: Anguish in Astana - Scotland hit rock bottom

It’s international week which means it’s a painful podcast for Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull and Laura Brannan. Kazakhstan 3-0 Scotland in Euro 2020 qualifying. Is it the worst result and performance in Scottish football history? Who or what was to blame? Shinnie? The pitch? All the tactics? Alex McLeish’s men fare better against San Marino’s line-up of Pro Evo players but the atmosphere is toxic amongst the fans. How much longer does McLeish have and who would be the ideal replacement? At club level, Arbroath are on the verge of the title, Albion may be embarking on the great escape and Ross County scoop up silverware. And the bible’s favourite team Queen of the South turned 100 this week. But what does the modern day hold after 7 defeats on the spin? Plus it’s a happy 1st birthday for On The Ball. We chat to them about their campaign to provide free period products at football grounds, starting at Celtic and taking them to LA and Brazil. • PART 1: Kazakhstan 3-0 Scotland – rock bottom?
