The managerial merry-go-round commences as not one, but two SPFL managers lost their jobs this week.
We bid adieu to ‘the bunneted one’ Dick Campbell for maybe the final time as East Fife moved on from the 72-year-old, and Dumbarton dispensed with Frank McKeown after a humbling in the Challenge Cup against rivals Clydebank.
Elsewhere Marink Reedijk already feels the hotseat as Hibernian slipped to the bottom of the table with successive defeats under the Dutchman. Celtic ran out rampant winners against Hearts, who had the most calamitous defending you'll ever see. And why having an unfashionable and stuffy Scottish manager still has a place at the top table when Steven Pressley took on Derek McInnes.
In the Championship, we talk about erroneous refereeing decisions as Matthew MacDiarmid actually made the Partick Thistle victory newsworthy. Stenhousemuir were held by Raith for the second time this season and Greenock Morton sent Queen’s Park to the foot of the table with a 2-0 victory at Cappielow, their second win in successive weeks.
Peterhead won the battle of the bottom of League One as Cove Rangers lost 2-0, life after Dick is hard as under-pressure Andy Graham and his Alloa Athletic side emerged triumphant from Methil. And there was Hamilton keeping pace with Ross County as they won the televised affair with Airdrieonians in one of the many Lanarkshire derbies in the division.
League Two was not the most noteworthy this week, but we have the first game of James Craigan's official reign in charge of the Spartans, Danny Lennon’s return to the dugout as his interim spell began with a draw against a stabilising Stirling Albion. And Edinburgh City drew with Elgin and kept a clean sheet, no easy feat for visiting sides.
All that and more on the only Scottish football podcast you need to get through these cold autumnal evenings.
