The flame-grilled Whopper from Burger King. The most food-filling burger... Is it, though? Is that... Yes, a slightly better version of you. I don't understand... Just like the new Whopper, that's juicier and tastier than ever before. Same, same, but it's different. That's my line now. Oh, sorry. Whopper never tasted so good.

We sure are, Paul Cooney here in the company of Jamie Murphy of A United, the former Rangers and Scotland star, and Darren O'Dea, currently of no parish, but surveying his options, but delighted to have the former Irish international player.
Celtic, of course, many others as well, is with us. And happy St Patrick's Day, Darren. Happy St Patrick's Day. Thank you. And Jamie, welcome to the programme. We are going to ask all-time favourite Irish player, but we will come to it because really everybody is thinking about the title race. Rangers and Hearts separately looking to get to the sunshine a few weeks' time, Jamie, during the Scottish Cup weekend. They'd both love to be in it. Hearts were out of it for a long time. Rangers, we know the story, the other week. A good move to go in April, do you reckon, to go for the sunshine? Yeah, these trips always, I think players always look forward to these kind of trips. It's just you get a bit of relaxation as well as a good couple of training sessions kind of away from the noise.
It'll be good for both teams and I'm sure both teams will be looking to come back from that on fire really. What a weekend. Hearts, they're not going to collapse are they? But that was not expected down at Rugby Park. No, no, it wasn't. But none of the three teams are overly convincing. So Hearts have clearly been the most consistent team because they're top of the table. So I think all teams are going to drop points. I don't see any of them going seamlessly through the rest of the season. I think the biggest thing with Hearts now is how do you react to it, really. That's all it is. Title belief. I mean, Martin O'Neill is... Jamie, I'll ask you now, who is going to win it? Eight games to go. Danny Rule talks about eight cup finals.
Martin O'Neill, you know, he's quite self-deprecating, isn't he? He is playing a blinder at the moment with Celtic. And Derek McInnes, West of Scotland boy, could win the title for the first time for the Herston. Well, in most people's lifetime. What are you thinking now with eight games to go?
What are the latest developments in the title race between Celtic, Rangers, and Hearts?
Well I was thinking Rangers before the two old firm games that we had there but now I think probably leaning towards Celtic I think the two games that Rangers had at home to not win them was massive they were games that they could have went out and won particularly well both of them the first game being 2-0 up the second game being at home with Celtic put out a weakened team if you'd say obviously not through their own choice but Missing McGregor whoever else Tierney they were games that I felt Rangers had to go out there and take it and they just never Darren yeah I said ages ago that I thought back in January I thought Celtic would recruit all clubs would recruit but Celtic would recruit and then their performances would increase quite dramatically because I thought that would happen
It's not necessarily been the case in terms of performance, but they keep finding ways to win. The game against Motherwell was a better performance, absolutely. But they're not... I think Celtic would admit that. The players would admit that they're not in free-flowing best form, but they seem to just be getting over the line. And I totally agree with Jamie. The range of Celtic games are Celtic range, but I really do believe... we will get to a point where it will come down to Rangers and Celtic. It's logic. It's logic. If Hearts remain there for the next eight games, fair play to them, could they win it?
