It’s The Green Scene, and we’re back like we never left — talking all things Irish football as the season kicks into gear across the EFL, Scotland and beyond.

We dig into Festy Ebosele’s surprise loan to newly-promoted Erzurumspor in Turkey and what it means for his Ireland prospects, before chatting Seamus Coleman’s free-agent situation (and the Killybegs “almost” story).

There’s transfer chat galore too: Joe Hodge’s move to Motherwell, Will Ferry’s Anderlecht links, Mikey Johnston and Louie Barry, plus why Kian Leavy’s next step is massive.

And finally: where does Troy Parrott end up — and is Arsenal’s Ceadach O’Neill about to switch?
