Sacked in the Morning: Craig Levein back after triple bypass

The 60-year-old was sacked by St Johnstone in September of 2024, having also been in charge at Hearts (twice), Leicester City and Dundee United.

Levein began his podcasting career in October 2021, with Tony Pulis the first guest.

Dean Saunders, Viv Anderson, Andy Cole, Alistair Campbell and Si Ferry are among those who will appear in the new series.

And Levein promises to be more cogent than he was in the days after his operation.

“I couldn’t sleep,” he recalled. “I was on about 14 different pills. I had delirium. I had no idea what was going on.

“I woke up, and I’m sitting on my bed, and there’s a nativity play going on, and there’s kids running about. And I swear, I think it’s real.

“Then I look across to the other side of the ward, and there’s a cubicle, and the curtain’s open, and the devil’s in there.”

There was also a vivid hallucination involving a fight between doctors and a subsequent union row over the fictional fracas.

Now that Levein is on the mend, there are sure to be more stories of real fisticuffs, embarrassing moments, great sporting achievements and, of course, what it’s liked to be sacked in the morning…
