Adam is joined for a second time by Rangers supporter John Walker to make sense of the fallout from Steven Gerrard's departure. John, who hosts the Scots Abroad podcast and also appears on the Rangers Rabble podcast, discusses what people get wrong about Gerrard's time at Ibrox, being taken in by his 'happy, settled' line, why comparisons with Brendan Rodgers leaving Celtic don't make sense, participating in a Michael Beale coaching masterclass, the Wenger philosophy that applies to Aaron Hickey, why the national team should look to emulate Switzerland and the Scots abroad who are impressing him.

Also joining Adam is Alasdair Mackenzie, a Rome-based Scottish journalist covering football for Reuters as their Italy correspondent. He talks about how Scotland fans are no longer deriving pleasure from pain, a bizarre Serie A managerial situation, what's going wrong for Jose Mourinho at Roma, an unusual party thrown by Graeme Souness, why Bologna is the perfect place for Hickey's development, what Scotland does better than Italy in terms of the matchday experience, working at the Euro 2020 opening ceremony, his favourite Ross County moments, the Scotland international currently playing in Milan's midfield and Scotland's Man of the Year Giorgio Chiellini.

Celtic fan and stand-up comedian Jim Burke returns to spend a few minutes sharing memories of Bertie Auld after the legendary Lisbon Lion sadly passed away.

Adam speaks puts questions from Twitter to his guests, relives a mortifying experience on another podcast, debunks a myth involving their manager's departure and lists 10 questions certain Rangers fans were asking themselves after hearing the Gerrard news.
