Older readers will recall Bob Wilson - the 1970s Arsenal goalkeeper - as the first English-born player to represent Scotland. Younger readers will remember him as a bumbling but affable football presenter on ITV. Either way a radio programme in which his son traces their Scottish roots doesn't sound like promising material. In fact the broadcast last Friday was a fascinating journey into Wilson's background which took him to Glasgow to explore the origins of Celtic and Rangers, as well as touching upon present-day issues.

The programme, called "Auld Firm Old Family", can be heard at the BBC's Listen Again website - but note it will only be available until next Friday.
