005 Davie Irons on Stenny, selfishness in Scottish football, highs and lows at Gretna and working in the police. Plus Davie Syme on the juniors title ...
Stenhousemuir manager and Bruce Springsteen fan Davie Irons is this week's special guest. He's already given his wage back to the club to help them survive the coronavirus lockdown. Davie tells Gareth and Paul why he did that plus why he believes Scottish football's selfishness could backfire on clubs.In the week which marks the 13-year anniversary of the day he guided Gretna into the top flight, Davie reflects on that high and the lows of liquidation which followed. He also reveals how Brooks Mileson communicated with him up to the day he passed away, even after he lost the ability to speak. Davie has joined the police force nearly 30 years after he first applied - and now gets called Used To Be by his colleagues as he works during the lockdown. Plus, in our new feature Inside The Mind he lifts the lid on the Rangers legend he idolised as a boy and the grandfather he never knew who played for Celtic.Kilwinning Rangers defender Davie Syme is also with us - and we hear his biggest frustrations after his side saw the SJFA West title ripped away from them. Bosses instead handed it to rivals Auchinleck Talbot who were sitting third at the time the leagues were stopped. Please do get in touch with your thoughts.
