  • What do Robbie Williams, George Galloway and Craig Gordon have in common? 

    Absolutely nothing, other than all being discussed on this episode of the Old Firm Facts podcast, on which Adam is joined by two of Scotland's most well-known broadcasters. 

    Gamesmaster host turned award-winning radio DJ turned Guardian columnist Dominik Diamond discusses how Rangers were foiled by 'cinch villain' Ange Postecoglou, his friendship with an Ibrox legend, the 'personal snub' of players leaving for bigger clubs, how living in Canada has affected his relationship with Celtic, the end of his decades-long love affair with FIFA games, a failed attempt to befriend Ewan McGregor, why he chose not to be crucified on television, playing video games with the Arctic Monkeys, the support he gave numerous Scottish bands in the '00s, almost assaulting a future British comedy star and how Robbie Williams ended up writing the foreword for his forthcoming book. 

    Award-winning BBC Scotland news and current affairs host Martin Geissler talks about the unsung hero of Hearts' season, the Tynecastle legend hired as a DJ at his wedding, how Robbie Neilson revealed the secrets of Hearts' success to him at a petrol station, the 'gargoyle garden' of Twitter, pointing out the elephant in the room with Steven Gerrard, his preparation for a recent interview with Douglas Ross, an awkward encounter with George Galloway, 'sitting on the front row of history' as a foreign correspondent, the story that meant most to him as a reporter, reminiscing with Steve Coogan about classic comedy series On The Hour and watching the World Cup Final alongside a passionate football legend. 

    Adam asks his guests to help him debunk a myth involving Rangers fans, puts questions to them from social media, gets their opinions on the Player and Manager of the Year awards, finds common ground with Gordon Strachan and provides some closure on an unexpected Twitter beef.
