Summary: Anto is joined by Dundee United, Blackburn Rovers and Scotland striker and winger Kevin Gallacher to take a look at some of the big topics facing Scottish football, the situation at Blackburn after relegation and a wonderful look back at his time with the national team. We begin with the Champions League draw from Celtic and how Scotland has received a much needed bright light for its football after a long summer of difficulty involving Rangers and looking at how Neil Lennon will deal with Barcelona, Benfica and Spartak Moscow and whether the club might make another last move amongst a number of popular free agents in advance of those midweek fixtures. Then we move on to Blackburn Rovers and whether the club has the squad to make a quick return to the Premier League and if the ownership and its spokes persons are doing Steve Kean a disservice having made the important decision to retain him after holding on to him past relegation. We also examine the arrival of Jordan Rhodes, talk about how different the situation at Ewood Park really is since the sale of the club and take a look back to a magical time when the club was kings of England and what that experience was like when Kenny Dalglish delivered a title. We also look back at what went wrong for the club in the past 20 years and how the slow and steady retreat seems attributed to a real inability to adjust its focus on being a successful selling club given the economic restraints. Perhaps it was a perfect storm, but it might just be last time a small town team will ever win a major title in England again. Also in focus here is a wonderful look back at the 1998 World Cup for Scotland in France and staring down the barrel of a national team in Brazil that was a winning machine all its own with two World Cup and Copa America championships and how Scotland came ever so close to giving them an opening match shock to kick off a tournament. We discuss the lead up the opening game, what happened because of the opening ceremonies, the great Ronaldo kept at bay and why facing a powerful team is always best to face first in a short competition. We also examine Scotland for Brazil 2014 qualification in Group A with Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Macedonia and Wales, then why Kevin believes that this might be the best chance yet to at least reach the final playoff spots for Scotland after this draw.
