What humorous birthday stories do Barry Ferguson and Darren O'Dea share?
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.
What memories does Darren O'Dea have of facing Barry Ferguson's Rangers?
Order now on the Burger King app. The Go Radio football show with Burger King. Enjoy the £5.99 regular Whopper meal. Juicier than ever and bursting with flavour with fries and a drink. Order now on the Burger King app. Good evening, this is Paul Cooney. The weekend is here. The birthday boy, Barry Ferguson, is with us. And so too, someone else who had a birthday this week, which we didn't realise until a few moments ago. Darren O'Day.
How are Hearts, Celtic, and Rangers competing in the title race this season?
Absolutely, yeah, Wednesday. Darren, happy birthday on Wednesday. Barry, Monday, we kicked off the week with, we missed you Monday night. What were you doing? Partying? No, no, no. No, I was just chilling out at home. The family come down to see us. No, the partying days are over, Paul. 48 years of age now.
What are the concerns surrounding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's potential signing for Celtic?
I'm not like you. I could run forever. Darren, for you, Ah, very similar, very similar. Quiet with the family, yeah. Birthdays just pass, pass, come and go. So Barry's honest, he's 40, are you 39? 39, yeah. I'll work it out for you. 40 next year, 40 next year, yeah.
What impact do Rangers' January signings have on their season?
Actually, the team came in with a birthday cake about 15 minutes ago, and then as they're doing it for social media, it'll be up any moment. We suddenly, Darren had a speech, he said, it's my birthday as well. Sorry, I should have done my research before it. Well, what a week. Best players in February, Barry? I heard you chipping in. Yeah, I've got to agree with that. That's what it says to Darren. The best players are made in February. That's for sure.
What predictions are made for the Scottish Cup weekend matches?
What was he like to play against then? So you were a young buck coming through at Celtic. Obviously, you played Barry as the captain of the Rangers. What was he like? Well, obviously his standing in his team was a lot different than my standing in my team. So I think he probably went in the mindset of how to win the game. I was going in to make sure I didn't lose the game for my team. But yeah, obviously a serious competitor, top, top quality, had seen it all. So yeah, no, I think going back then, you look back at the Rangers team we faced, you had Pedro Mendes in the middle of pitch with them. There were some really, really good players.
How do the guests reflect on their international football experiences?
Barry, what are your memories of a young Darren O'Dea? A very feisty character, which, listen, we spoke about off-air, Paul. I like that. I think it's a dying breed in the modern day. And he kind of stood out because he was a left-sided defender. You don't get many left-sided defenders, but no, he was a tough opponent, Darren was. Scottish Cup weekend, we'll talk about that in big detail. What a shame though, the Aberdeen-Motherwell game is off, so two games in a row for the Motherwell fans. Barry, it's the last thing they want given they're on such a brilliant run. Yeah, listen, they want to continue to play games.
What are the challenges facing Celtic regarding fan engagement and board relations?
I think they've been immense this season, Paul. I've watched them live a couple of times, certainly when they came to Ibrox. I was so impressed it's probably the only team in a number of years that I've seen dominate Rangers certainly in the first 20 minutes and the new managers come in with a different style the players have took to it and they're having a fantastic season so they'll be disappointed that the last couple of games have been cancelled but And obviously they've got the big one next Wednesday against Rangers at Firth Park. And I was just about to say, Motherwell are going to play a big part in who wins this title since we saw you, Barry. It keeps changing. The only thing it doesn't change is Hearts at the top, but they dropped points the other night.
Celtic were second. I know there was nothing in it. Celtic were second top. Their game went off at Pataudry. They were right up for it. The Rangers game, 5-1 at the end. It didn't sound that way at the beginning, at halftime, but it's three points.
