    Inside Football’s Biggest Divide with Twin Atlantic
    Nov 19 2025
    Away Days welcomes its first ever double guests as Ross McNae and Sam McTrusty from Twin Atlantic join Woody and Piers. Ross is Celtic, Sam is Rangers, and somehow the two of them manage to keep things civil as they trade stories about football, touring and beyond. Piers recalls travelling to Oldham with a stranger he met on the internet, Sam reveals the extreme lengths he once went to during a Twin Atlantic show to avoid hearing a Rangers result, and the lads compare derby loyalties with life on the road. Plus, there is another update from our listeners at Brantham, currently making a strong case for being the worst club in Britain.
