S11E43 Guest Special: Alistair Aird - a podcast by Sff Podcast

In this episode, John B and Ross are joined by Rangers fan and author Alistair Aird. The timing of Alistair's appearance is somewhat unfortunate given the recent defeat by Celtic, but he and Ross don't avoid the discussion and dissect on what went wrong for their team that night, but why they believe the title race is very much on.

Alistair then discusses his love of Rangers and how it began by looking at a programme of a League Cup Semi Final against Dundee United in 1986/87 that had Davie Cooper on the front cover. He attended his first game in 1988 at the age of eight, so naturally the nine-in-a-row years is his favourite era. He also fondly recalls last-day title wins over Aberdeen and the Alex McLeish title victories of 2003 and 2005, plus the memorable run to the UEFA Cup Final.

We then move onto Alistair's love of writing and how he's combined this and his love for Rangers by releasing a series of books on individuals and era's of the club, including the autobiographies for Davie Wilson, David Robertson and Mark Hateley. There are also some very good tips for any aspiring writers in what makes a good book, with trust being the key ingredient, something John and Ross found useful for their upcoming titles.

The podcast rounds off with slow fire questions including Alistair's best Rangers XI.
