Open Goal passes 100 million views with Scottish football stories

Derek Riordan joins the Premiership recap, while Steven Gerrard's interview supplies another batch of career memories.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Martin O'Neill's decision to stay at Celtic gave Si Ferry, Slaney, Derek Ferguson and Gordon Dalziel plenty to discuss before domestic football returned. Their Right In The Coupon episode was Open Goal's most watched new upload of the week, reaching about 83,000 views.

The conversation moved from Scotland's defeat to the Premiership fixtures, with viewers adding their own tactical questions. Some discussed the atmosphere and ticket prices at Scotland games; another wanted more width from the national side. The episode includes a paid betting promotion.

By Monday, the preview had become a post-match conversation. Former Hibs and Celtic striker Derek Riordan joined Ferry, Slaney and Andy Halliday on Keeping The Ball On The GROUND to discuss Celtic's win over Motherwell, Rangers' seventh successive victory and Hibs' defeat under their new manager. That episode has the strongest current viewing momentum on the channel. Riordan's memories also took the show beyond Scottish grounds: a separate clip recounts his surprise that food in China wasn't what he expected from Chinese takeout in Scotland.

Steven Gerrard's longer interview remains active, too. New extracts revisit Allan McGregor's red card against Hibernian and Gerrard's slip against Chelsea, with the latter connecting a painful playing memory to how he later supported players as a manager.

Across eight uploads, Open Goal added subscribers and passed 100 million total views. Today's viewing is below its usual daily level, although its weekly view gain sits toward the upper end of its nearby football-channel group. The Good, The Bad & The Football and Chuff Footy Reacts had larger weekly audiences; That Peter Crouch Podcast had a quieter week. For Open Goal, the freshest conversation belongs to Riordan, while Gerrard's career stories keep giving readers another way into the archive.
