The Go Radio Football Show: 23rd of February 2026. PLAY and HIT SUBSCRIBE, and NEVER miss an episode! A weekend where controversy overshadowed quality, tempers flared on and off the pitch, and the title race somehow became even tighter. Paul Cooney is joined by Barry Ferguson and Peter Grant, and from the first whistle the conversation explodes into debate: Is VAR officially in crisis? Celtic lose at home to Hibs for the first time in 16 years, Rangers drop points at Livingston after VAR ignores a last‑minute flashpoint, Hearts march on with another gritty win, and Motherwell smash St Mirren 5–0 in a statement performance. Celtic’s meltdown at Celtic Park — trust in VAR collapses as decisions leave fans, pundits, and even Martin O’Neill baffled. Rangers’ rescue job at Livingston — character shown, but serious questions about away form and refereeing chaos. Hearts’ title credentials — are they quietly becoming favourites? Motherwell’s astonishing rise — the form team in Scotland, playing fearless football and refusing to go away. Fan insight + live callers — frustration, debate, realism, and humour as supporters of all clubs weigh in. The wider crisis in officiating — consistency, credibility, communication… and whether VAR should simply be scrapped. The looming Old Firm — who has the edge? Who must win? And is the loser out of the title race?
