Following on from our big interview with Warm-Up co-host Chris Sutton, it’s Kris Boyd’s turn to be grilled on his life and career.

Sutty and fellow host and long-time friend of Kris, Steven Naismith, quiz Boydy on the big decisions, goals and controversies that make him one of the William Hill SPFL greats and record top goalscorer.

Here Kris talks about the men who shaped him, including Walter Smith, the dark days at Ibrox under Paul Le Guen and Ally McCoist and his career in the media as one of Scottish football’s best known and opinionated pundits.

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.

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...

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.
