Good morning/afternoon/evening y’all in Podcastland,

On this weeks episode of The Terrace we will be casting an intrigued glance at the national team. In a week that has seen the draw for the Qualification phase of Euro ’12 we will look our hopes for the coming campaign: Can we beat Spain? Will McGregor / Ferguson / Boyd be asked back? Will McCarthy remember where he was born?

It’s been a busy weekend of cup action. We will analyse the best of the action. Including Celtic having to come from behind against Dunfermline in the Kingdom, and the curse of the lower league opponent almost striking Aberdeen again – oh how Jimmy must have laughed as his Kilmarnock side breezed past 1^st division Caley Thistle.

The lower league round-up is sadly reminiscent of last season when we constantly found ourselves talking about Clyde / Livingston / Stranraer in financial bother. This week it is Stirling Albion’s travails as they battle for the right to play at Forthbank, despite owing £100,000 in unpaid rent. On the field Alloa have crow-barred their way into the Division 2 title race, and as East Stirling gain ground on Livingston in the 3^rd we ask can McInally’s men really pip the Lions to the title?
