  • Chris Sutton big interview | Celtic redemption, legendary strike partners and title glory with Blackburn
    Jul 2 2026

    The spotlight is on Chris Sutton as the Warm-Up host becomes the subject of the latest Warm-Up big interview.

    Sitting down with his regular co-hosts, Steven Naismith and Kris Boyd, Sutty looks back on his career, starting with his formative years and journey to becoming a professional footballer at Norwich.

    Chris talks about taking flight for the Canaries and leaving the roost for Blackburn Rovers, where he won the Premier League Golden Boot and an historic EPL title under Kenny Dalglish.

    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...

  • Derek McInnes to Rangers, Scotland in Boston, and Celtic politics | The Warm-Up
    Jun 15 2026

    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
