Dundee United Highs and Hamilton Focus - Lanarkshire Live Sport Podcast #17

John Rankin has dealt with the huge highs of football and the bitter lows it can bring.

He's experienced cup joy with Dundee United but the pain of a final defeat still looms large.

The former midfielder has scored a worldie in a huge Hibs match against Celtic, but it brought unwanted attention.

Rankin has been offered a first step into management and rejected it, believing in the path he currently walks.

After hanging up his boots, the 38-year-old moved into coaching with Hearts' youth players, alongside a dabble in punditry.

Now he's assistant to Hamilton head coach Stuart Taylor, as they look to build a successful team in the Scottish Championship, one that could perhaps provide a springboard back to the Premiership promised land.

The Bellshill-born coach now joins us on the Lanarkshire Live Sport Podcast to discuss it all.
