He covers the ill-fated move to Chelsea and journey north, to Celtic, where he became one of the greatest players to pull on the Hoops. And Chris talks about how his career ended, back in England under Martin O’Neill, and about his great strike partners, Henrik Larsson, Alan Shearer, George Weah and which one bought him a tracksuit when he was feeling low... 00:00 intro 1:12 Early life and introduction to football 5:58 Rejection from Norwich and school 8:45 Advice to young players 13:32 Apprenticeship into full time 19:40 Playing centre half against Ian Rush 22:42 Self belief and entrance to Premier League 29:40 Move to Blackburn Rovers 33:40 Playing with Alan Shearer and Blackburn success 40:42 Golden Boot season 45:30 Moving to Chelsea 51:00 Signing for Celtic 55.45 Old Firm Rivalry and proving people wrong 58:45 Early Celtic career and Henrik partnership 1:00:32 The 6-2 game and Martin O’Neill 1:03:15 UEFA Cup Final run 1:08:32 Best strike partnership 1:13:24 Chelsea reflection 1:15:45 Media career and management 1:20:00 Dementia in football Follow WilliamHillSPFL: ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl 📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl 18+ please gamble responsibly.

Saddle up as Chris Sutton dons his Stetson and joins us from Dallas, Texas for the latest Warm-Up special. The big man has developed a penchant for headwear since travelling to North America and, after proudly wearing a sombrero at the Azteca, is fittingly dressed for a visit to the Lone Star state. Kris Boyd joins him from Boston, where he is still coming back to earth after Scotland’s win over Haiti - and a night at the baseball with James McFadden. Together they look ahead to Scotland v Morocco and how Steve Clarke changes a winning team. They also return to the domestic front and Rangers and Hearts, with the former preparing to say farewell to Danny Röhl and pinch the latter’s manager. Where will the changes leave Hearts? And will Derek McInnes be able to make Rangers credible title contenders? And the boys also discuss the latest news at Celtic Park and the latest politics, unrest and the odd case of Martin O’Neill’s assistants. 00:00 STARTS 00:30 Stetsons and sombreros 03:25 Baseball with Faddy 04:47 Scotland v Morocco 06:08 Steve Clarke will have to change it 11:10 Will a point be enough? 12:50 Rangers and Derek McInnes 14:43 Time for a Scottish heart? 17:13 Danny Röhl-ed over 22:05 Where do Hearts go next? 24:26 In like McGlynn? 26:00 Maloney, Fotheringham and what’s going on at Celtic 29:15 Is this Celtic squad good enough? 31:25 Where the boys are next ENDS Follow WilliamHillSPFL: ✖️ Twitter: https://www.x.com/WilliamHillSPFL 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/williamhillspfl 📘 Facebook: http://facebook.com/williamhillspfl 18+ please gamble responsibly.

Scott Brown and Steven Whittaker join The Warm-Up team for the latest big interview, covering their lives on and off the park and their partnership in the dug out. The former Celtic captain and Rangers full-back faced each other on opposite sides of the Glasgow divide after starting life as key players in one of Hibs’ greatest teams. The pair talk about how they were Old Firm enemies on the park but remained firm friends off it, looking back on their time at the clubs. They also talk about their recent departure from Ayr United and whether or not they will remain a managerial duo or go it alone. And Scott and Steven get to confront two of The Warm-Up hosts about their own field tussles, with Broony and Steven Naismith getting into the touchline clash at Tynecastle that left one of them nursing their crown jewels.
