We’re joined this week by Steven Naismith, who speaks openly for the very first time since his exit from Hearts earlier this season. Alongside him is Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes, who discusses the challenge he faces this weekend as he prepares to face Celtic after a 6-0 Premier Sports Cup semi-final win and a historic Champions League victory against RB Leipzig. Steven gives us insight into what happened towards the end of his tenure at Hearts, what comes next, and advice he’s received from the likes of Brendan Rodgers, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Derek himself. Derek also tells us how Craig Levein might be a jinx for Scottish managers getting the sack and some great stories about his experiences with Walter Smith. With Sam North on European duties this week, Marvin Bartley steps into the hosting seat alongside Gordon, giving us his insight into managing in the lower leagues of the SPFL and delving into how David Gray and Hibs will be feeling right now after a rough start to the season. 00:00 Intros 02:07 The challenge of facing Celtic 03:37 Steven Naismith on Hearts exit 06:18 Derek on how hard it is for young managers. 09:05 Does social media put more pressure on managers 10:12 Did Steven know he was going to be let go? 11:34 Derek on being sacked by Bristol City 15:09 Does Steven still watch Hearts? 17:00 What would Steven have changed at Hearts 18:17 Regrets from Hearts? 20:00 Is Craig Levein the jinx to getting sacked 23:00 Walter Smith helped Derek recover from Bristol 25:20 Overhauling Aberdeen 26:00 Brendan Rodgers giving Steven advice before facing Celtic 27:00 Are managers friends off the pitch? 29:00 Why would you become a manager 31:36 Sir Alex Ferguson’s advice to Steven 32:00 Marvin on managing in the lower leagues 33:00 Where does Steven go next 34:00 Derek on getting subbed as a player manager 40:11 Naismith on Hearts using a super computer 43:10 Derek on the Scotland job 45:00 Steven on the Scotland squad 47:12 The Rondo 54:00 How does Kilmarnock prepare to face Celtic 57:00 Marvin on Hibernian situation 58:00 Derek McInnes on flying Aberdeen 59:46 Rangers v Hearts, the Steven Naismith derby 01:01:03 Playing after European fixtures 01:03:47 Kilmarnock’s disciplinary issues 01:07:43 Championship, League 1, League 2 01:12:10 Outros Follow us on X and Instagram TheWarmUp 18+ please gamble responsibly. #ScottishFootball #Rangers #Celtic #Hearts #StevenNaismith #football #SPFL #SPFLhighlights #Hearts #Kilmarnock #Aberdeen #Motherwell #Aberdeen #ScottishLeagueCup #semifinal #StevenNaismith #DerekMcInnes #MarvinBartley #AlexFerguson #WalterSmith #FootballInterviews #ScottishFootballShow #FootballStories #ChampionsLeague #Subscribe Proper Supporter of the SPFL Watch The Warm-Up every Friday on YouTube 18+ | Find out how to limit gambling ads on social media –
