The Gem and Jo Show

A joint interview with Celtic and Scotland team-mates Gemma Fay, the 28-year-old goalkeeper with 121 caps in twelve years as her country’s number one, and midfielder Jo Love, 24, with 96. Both reflect on finishing a point short of the World Cup play-offs, pipped by Denmark, whose 1-0 win at Kilmarnock proved decisive, and compare it to losing the Euro 2009 play-off to Russia on away goals. Fay believes Sweden 2013 will be Scotland’s time; Love argues the squad matched the Danes physically and mentally, and that the real handicap is players holding down full-time jobs, though the National Academy at Stirling is changing things. They discuss Switzerland’s rise, Celtic’s first silverware in the League Cup, the switch to summer football, and their own jobs with sportscotland and in a laboratory. A randoms box covers skills, jokers and the clumsiest.
