In this episode of Inside Sport: Team GB have exceeded expectations at the Olympics but how has the televsion coverage fared? And have the obscure sports we only see every four years caught the public imagination? Plus: With Rangers starting in the Third Division, we preview the Scottish football season and examine Celtic and Dundee United’s European chances.

This week, Scotland on Sunday sports editor Graham Bean and columnist Aidan Smith are in the pod to look back on the first 13 days of London 2012.

As well as memorable moments like Sir Chris Hoy’s stunning sixth gold and Andy Murray’s revenge on Roger Federer, we pick out our new favourite sports and assess the standard of the TV punditry.

Turning to Scottish football, we look ahead to an SPL without Rangers, offer a few predictions for the Edinburgh derby and assess Celtic and Dundee United’s European prospects.
