The other guy is former Herald Literary Editor, Hugh MacDonald.
Hugh is a big, BIG Sellik man(hence why he has appeared on Peter Martin's PLZ Soccer show for these last ten years). A regular on Cosgrove and Cowan too, he seethes quietly in his hatred of all things Rangers.
One of the last pieces he did for the Herald was to eulogise the Brazilian footballer, Kaka for his commitment to the poor of the country. Voluntarily, he gave back a substantial percentage of his salary to his church for poverty relief. Of course, Hugh did not realise Kaka like all his extended family, was an evangelical protestant. Shug is also a big supporter of Scottish independence. These days, he lives on the Isle of Arran and we know the days the CalMac ferries are running when he hail hails on Peter Martin's PLZ Soccer.
