We are fully focused on the Scottish Premiership this weekend as Hamilton Academical welcome St Mirren to the Hope CBD Stadium.

Having secured a well deserved point against Celtic last weekend, Oran Kearney’s side will be hoping to push on. Hamilton Academical’s manager Martin Canning will be aiming to ensure his side can bounce back from the defeat to Livingston last weekend.

In our extended VTs at half-time, we speak to Hamilton’s under 17s youth squad. They are first team in the club’s history to represent the Accies in a UEFA cup competition.

We’ve also been along to Paisley where we found out a little bit about…

A crowd of 50,141 turned out in Croke Park yesterday for the three Ladies Football finals. Limerick were crowned Junior champions, Tyrone were crowned Intermediate champions and Dublin finally got revenge on rivals Cork and lifted the Brendan Martin Cup in the Senior.

I 2017, d’fhág Corcaigh an comórtas nuair a chaill siad i gcoinne Maigh Eo sa chluiche leath-cheannais, ach tá siad thar n-ais an séasúr seo chun aghaidh a thabhairt ar na seaimpíní Áth Cliath ar an Domhnach beag seo. Cé acu a mbeidh an bua an uair seo?

In 2017, Cork had their All-Ireland hopes dashed by Mayo at the semi-final stage, but this season they have bounced back and will face reigning champions Dublin on Sunday. Who will emerge victorious and lift the Brendan Martin Cup?

Tá aithne an-mhaith ag Eimear Scally ar Pháirc an Chrócaigh. Níl sí ach 19 bliain d’aois agus fós tá 3 Chraobh Sinsear na hÉireann buaite aici. Féachann sí ar aghaidh go dtí lá mór eile Dé Domhnaigh i gcoinne na Dubs.

Cork’s Eimear Scally is no stranger to big game days, especially in Croke Park. At only 19 years of age, Scally has 3 Senior All-Ireland titles to her name. She looks ahead to another big day out on Sunday against the Dubs.

Our attention this weekend takes us back to the Scottish Premiership as St Johnstone take on Aberdeen at McDiarmid Park in our featured match.

St Johnstone will be hoping to continue their winning form after winning their last two league matches against Dundee and Hamilton Academical respectively. Meanwhile, Aberdeen will be wanting to recover from their loss against Kilmarnock after their appeal against Michael Devlin’s red card was rejected by the SFA.

In our extended VTs at half-time, we speak to St Johnstone’s defender Joe Shaughnessy as he reflects on his journey from youth player at Aberdeen to captain of St Johnstone.…

It’s an exciting week of women’s football for us in the Nemeton office in Scotland. We’ll be producing coverage of two live matches.

First, it’s the conclusion of Scotland’s FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualification campaign. Albania v Scotland will be live and exclusive on BBC ALBA. Qualification for the tournament hangs in the balance. A win for Scotland and points dropped by Switzerland would see the Scots through automatically. However, if the Swiss are successful away to Poland, and Scotland win, there’s still the carrot of a potential play-off spot. In our half–time piece we hear from Christie Murray on her summer…
