Joel Taggart and Liam Beckett sit down with retired Northern Ireland defender Gareth McAuley to discuss his career, starting from the early days in the Irish League. They are also joined by Gareth’s former manager at Coleraine, Marty Quinn and they talk about their time at the Showgrounds, players moving to full-time football in England and whether going via the Irish League is a better pathway than the English academies. Gareth talks about the managers he appreciated the most and whether Steven Gerrard can return Rangers to the top of Scottish football. He also gives his opinions on what Alfredo Morelos is like and whether he could make it in the English Premier League, as well as what went wrong for some of his old clubs. McAuley also gives his thoughts on why he thinks Kyle Lafferty’s move to Sunderland is a bad idea and what the Irish Premiership could do to improve. The guests also discuss the current title race and who is looking best placed to win the title.
