In this episode of Inside Sport: As the Rangers saga reaches soap opera levels of absurdity, what does it mean for Scottish football? Plus: the latest on the Hearts managerial vacancy, a look ahead to the Euro 2012 quarter-finals, and taking positives from the Scotland rugby team’s summer tour.

With Walter Smith having come and gone and new bidders emerging, can Rangers fans believe anything they read? And with the SPL vote looming and talk of league reconstruction bubbling up again, what does the future hold for Scottish football?

The Scotsman’s David Ferguson and Scotland on Sunday’s Moira Gordon are in the pod this week to filter fact from fiction.

With Hearts set to announce a successor to Paulo Sergio, who are the runners and riders in the race for the Tynecastle dugout? Moira offers her insight.

It’s quarter-final time in Euro 2012. Can Ronaldo make it Czech-mate for Portugal? Will Germany offer another bail-out to Greece? Can France get a sniff of the ball against Spain, and will plucky England prevail against the Azzurri?

In rugby, Scotland’s summer tour has got off to the perfect start with wins against Australia and Fiji, but how will they fare against Samoa, and has Andy Robinson found the missing link in Tim Visser? David gives his verdict.
