Standby if your first SPL football round-up of 2013. With the Highland

:00:23.:00:27.

derby off, we have highlights of all five games played, starting

:00:27.:00:34.

with the Edinburgh derby. Talking about it afterwards, Craig Gordon

:00:34.:00:38.

and Ian Murray. New year in the capital always means a spectacular

:00:38.:00:42.

celebration. The hope at Tynecastle was that the first meeting of

:00:42.:00:46.

Hearts and Hibs in 2013 would be equally memorable. Here are the

:00:46.:00:56.
:00:56.:01:21.

armbands in memory of Hearts' former Dr, who has passed away. He

:01:21.:01:31.
:01:31.:01:55.

was club doctor at Tynecastle for and caused a problem or two.

:01:55.:02:05.
:02:05.:02:33.

was an easy take in the end for McDonald. But could build up play

:02:33.:02:36.

from the visitors. He did not really get hold of it and it was

:02:36.:02:46.
:02:46.:03:22.

opening goal! The ball was played over the top by Stevenson. Hearts

:03:22.:03:32.
:03:32.:03:32.

might feel that they should have had a penalty. Robinson was taken

:03:32.:03:38.

out by McPake. No penalty awarded, as Driver flashed the shot wide,

:03:38.:03:48.
:03:48.:04:06.

is not happy. He is saying to the referee, look at my legs. Stevenson

:04:06.:04:10.

left the ground, came over the ball. He is lucky to not even be

:04:10.:04:20.
:04:20.:04:27.

derby of the season. He was claiming for the corner. It should

:04:27.:04:37.
:04:37.:05:01.

goalkeeper managed to clear the but he cleared it, and it just hit

:05:01.:05:06.

Brian Stevenson. It could have gone the other side of the post, but it

:05:06.:05:16.
:05:16.:05:40.

opening goal for Hibs. It needed composure and did not get it. It

:05:40.:05:46.

was a great ball from Griffiths. Cairney played one of the best pass

:05:46.:05:51.

of the match. And Doyle thrashed the ball over the top. He might

:05:51.:06:01.
:06:01.:06:07.

have cut inside but went for it on corner kick tally is higher than

:06:07.:06:17.
:06:17.:06:45.

the entertainment level. What can took a deflection. Just clipped the

:06:45.:06:55.
:06:55.:07:05.

There have been goals in the last 12 Derby's. And Witherspoon almost

:07:05.:07:15.
:07:15.:07:27.

on by Paterson, stepped inside, beat the keeper but not the

:07:27.:07:37.
:07:37.:07:56.

dumb. Acres of space on the far side. Doyle got the shot away.

:07:56.:08:01.

Saved by the keeper, but McGowan had to be there for Hearts.

:08:01.:08:11.
:08:11.:08:22.

Griffiths was lingering with intent. share of possession in the second

:08:22.:08:32.
:08:32.:08:44.

half, Hearts, but have not tested glorious chance to steal it late.

:08:44.:08:47.

Jonson first off the bar, and then Barr too high a with the header,

:08:47.:08:51.

onto the roof of the net. It remains goalless. They could not

:08:51.:08:59.

That was a bit of a damp squib. Plenty of effort from both sides,

:08:59.:09:05.

and both could have nicked the three points. Probably a fair

:09:05.:09:08.

result. Hearts had probably slightly the better of it. It has

:09:08.:09:12.

been the same story for them, not enough goals. Do you think Hibs

:09:12.:09:18.

will be happy with one.? They will have to be. They did not play well,

:09:18.:09:24.

but they leave with a point. that their approach? I don't think

:09:24.:09:29.

so. The Griffiths always looks a lively going forward. They will be

:09:29.:09:35.

happy with that, I think. Should Hearts have had a penalty, in a

:09:36.:09:39.

match of precious few goalscoring chances? I think so. I think this

:09:39.:09:43.

was a penalty. It was a good ball over the top. I have no problem if

:09:44.:09:49.

the referee let it run on, and after Driver misses it, still come

:09:49.:09:53.

back and give the foul and penalty. It is a foul. I don't think anybody

:09:53.:09:58.

can challenge that decision. You have to give a decision their one

:09:58.:10:03.

way or another. He let play go on. Was he playing on, or did he not

:10:03.:10:07.

think it was a penalty? It was unclear what the referee actually

:10:07.:10:11.

did. He was the referee in the Dundee derby last month, when this

:10:11.:10:17.

happened. He played advantage and then called it back and gave the

:10:17.:10:23.

penalty. Yes, giving that one by pulling it back, he knows that he

:10:23.:10:27.

can pull it back if it is a penalty. The only thing you can take from it

:10:27.:10:31.

is that he thought that one in the Derby was not a penalty kick. That

:10:31.:10:36.

is the only reason it could be. You can see by the pictures, the delay

:10:36.:10:40.

in the Dundee derby was far greater than the one tonight. The only

:10:40.:10:43.

thing I can think is that he genuinely thought it was not a

:10:43.:10:47.

penalty kick. He has given you a red card in your time. Should he

:10:47.:10:57.
:10:57.:11:00.

have shown want to Ryan Stevenson definite red card. The linesman was

:11:00.:11:04.

on the other side of the pitch. If he was on the other side, I don't

:11:05.:11:08.

think Stevenson would going like that. Both feet were off the ground,

:11:08.:11:14.

not just one foot. I think McPake's reaction helped, because he bounced

:11:14.:11:18.

up. He complained about the tackle but did not roll about. It could

:11:18.:11:22.

have been serious. He was lucky not to get injured. There played to him

:11:22.:11:26.

for getting up and getting on with my game. Ryan Stevenson was still

:11:26.:11:31.

on the pitch and he could have scored after the keeper has spilled

:11:32.:11:36.

the strike from Taouil. It was difficult. It ended up quite close

:11:36.:11:39.

to his body. The second was a good reaction to get it away, but you

:11:39.:11:44.

thought it would have to end up in the net. It bounced off his shins

:11:44.:11:50.

and dribbled agonisingly wide. was close, and this was a big

:11:51.:11:59.

chance for the 19-year-old Jason Holt. He did not do too much wrong.

:11:59.:12:03.

He did well. He makes space for the shot and the defenders closed him

:12:03.:12:06.

down, so he cut inside. He might have slipped it into the bottom

:12:06.:12:11.

corner, but he beat the keeper. He was a bit unlucky. It would have

:12:11.:12:18.

been a great goal for him, being so young. Will Jason Holt and these

:12:18.:12:25.

other guys get more of an opportunity? I think the financial

:12:25.:12:28.

situation is going to dictate that for Hearts, and they will have to

:12:28.:12:31.

bring some young boys through. And they have done well. They gave a

:12:32.:12:35.

lot to the cause tonight. Their general play was quite good and

:12:35.:12:39.

they created a few chances. On another night, they could have

:12:39.:12:42.

possibly won the game. They feel they have done enough to win the

:12:42.:12:46.

game, so positive signs from the young boy's coming through.

:12:46.:12:49.

Hopefully he can build a team around them. Your waltz team could

:12:49.:12:54.

have sneaked it tonight. The thing Doyle should have shown more

:12:54.:13:04.
:13:04.:13:07.

defended so well that they would have taken all the points. The

:13:07.:13:11.

defender did really well to get back, because it looked like a one-

:13:11.:13:18.

on-one but the defender made it hard. Lee Griffiths almost got a

:13:18.:13:22.

goal that many were expecting from him. Credit to McGowan forgetting

:13:22.:13:30.

it away. The keeper could not quite get two hands on it. He took

:13:30.:13:35.

responsibility. It was a great challenge. He had to be so strong

:13:35.:13:39.

and he had to win it. He had to make sure the ball did not end up

:13:39.:13:44.

in the net. Like Hibs at the other end, it was a goal clearing

:13:44.:13:49.

defending that saved the day. was the closest we got to a goal,

:13:49.:13:53.

the header from Sutton coming back off the bar and then Barr having a

:13:54.:13:59.

chance. Hearts had so many corners tonight. They are normally very

:13:59.:14:03.

good from the set plays. That was probably the only good chance they

:14:03.:14:09.

had from a corner, which is unusual. Sutton was unlucky and Barr had a

:14:09.:14:13.

good chance. Not bad defending. It was a good chance for Hartson it

:14:13.:14:23.
:14:23.:14:27.

would have been crawl if they had this. Things have changed for you,

:14:27.:14:34.

from scoring for hits. Managing Dumbarton. It has been great.

:14:34.:14:38.

Things have moved on and I have found myself being given a chance

:14:38.:14:41.

to manage in the First Division with a team that was struggling a

:14:41.:14:44.

little bit. I was given the chance to go and try to help them out. We

:14:44.:14:48.

have started OK, so we have given ourselves every chance of staying

:14:48.:14:55.

in the division. 100% in the league. The League is so difficult for

:14:55.:15:01.

anyone, but for us, working on the budget and the part-time basis,

:15:01.:15:04.

against full-time teams with the facilities to train every day of

:15:04.:15:09.

the week, we cannot do that. So to win two games on the bounce and

:15:09.:15:12.

dragged ourselves back into the relegation pack, if you like,

:15:12.:15:16.

because we were adrift, it is fantastic and the confidence is

:15:16.:15:21.

high. We have a game on Saturday against Dunfermline, who have had

:15:21.:15:24.

troubles this season financially. Three weeks ago it was looking grim

:15:24.:15:29.

for us but now we are back in it. Back to the SPL. Much to look

:15:29.:15:33.

forward to for Celtic. That meeting with Juventus is six weeks away and

:15:33.:15:36.

at home to Motherwell yesterday they plans to take another step

:15:36.:15:46.
:15:46.:16:03.

Mulgrew knocking it back in. Celtic don't get the breakthrough

:16:03.:16:07.

because the flag is up against the Greek international.

:16:07.:16:17.
:16:17.:16:17.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

deflection. A good build-up from chance that was for FA Ambrose.

:17:54.:18:04.
:18:04.:18:19.

Randolph didn't touch it at all and Darren Randolph. Hamill did well to

:18:19.:18:29.
:18:29.:19:01.

impeded by Gary Hooper. was Kelvin Wilson who made the

:19:01.:19:05.

challenge. He brought Murphy to a halt. Motherwell have the

:19:05.:19:15.
:19:15.:19:25.

opportunity to take the lead from bit of gamesmanship.

:19:25.:19:31.

A wonderful stop by Fraser Forster at full stretch, denying Tom

:19:31.:19:41.
:19:41.:20:07.

He was involved right at the start of the move, releasing Samaras. The

:20:07.:20:11.

clinical finishes gives him his 18th goal of the season, his fifth

:20:11.:20:21.
:20:21.:20:45.

there from Forster. The Celtic club Captain couldn't find the

:20:45.:20:55.
:20:55.:20:59.

I did think the penalty would be a good talking point tonight. From

:20:59.:21:05.

the pictures it looks like a penalty. He's taken a wild swipe at

:21:05.:21:08.

the ball and not got anywhere near it. I don't think the referee had

:21:08.:21:13.

too much of an option but to point to the spot. A good dive to finish

:21:13.:21:20.

off. Now, it looked like a penalty. Top marks for artistic impression,

:21:20.:21:25.

and for Fraser Forster for psyching out Tom Hateley. I don't think I

:21:25.:21:30.

would have been happy. The ball doesn't look like it was on the

:21:30.:21:37.

doesn't look like it was on the spot. He is a big lad and when he

:21:37.:21:47.

gets angry... A great save. It goes early and he's so strong, Fraser

:21:47.:21:52.

Forster, that when he does get a touch on the ball, not a lot of

:21:52.:22:01.

time it ends in the net behind him. He's worth his weight in gold, as

:22:01.:22:05.

you see by his call-up to the England side as well. When he first

:22:05.:22:12.

came to Celtic and to now he's progressed at such a rate he's been

:22:12.:22:16.

called up. He has done wonders in domestic as well as Europe. Celtic

:22:16.:22:22.

have a player, we don't shout and scream about the goal it is, we

:22:22.:22:29.

talk about Griffiths and McGinn and Mackay, but this guy got to 18 and

:22:29.:22:34.

is heading to the 20 mark barring injury. Gary Hooper keeps on doing

:22:34.:22:42.

it. Yes, a lot of goals in the six- yard book, real poacher's goals.

:22:42.:22:47.

When you were at a top club, that's what you need - somebody to put the

:22:47.:22:53.

ball into the net. He always seems to be in the right place at the

:22:53.:22:59.

right time. Could Celtic receive an offer they find difficult to refuse

:22:59.:23:08.

for Gary Hooper? One thing that's been overlooked is Hooper isn't

:23:08.:23:11.

scoring, Samaras does contribute but maybe doesn't get enough goals,

:23:11.:23:14.

but on the form he is showing, and he is doing it in the Champions

:23:14.:23:19.

League, offers are going to come. I don't think Celtic are in a

:23:19.:23:23.

position where they have to take the offer, but if he is not happy,

:23:23.:23:33.
:23:33.:24:04.

player went down. The referee points to the spot and Willie

:24:04.:24:12.

Collum says penalty. Kilmarnock are ahead after five

:24:12.:24:16.

minutes. It is an emphatic penalty kick.

:24:16.:24:26.
:24:26.:24:26.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

:24:26.:25:32.

in his last couple of games. A good run of form. That one went

:25:32.:25:42.
:25:42.:25:42.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

:25:42.:26:46.

league four for St Mirren. Almost Perfectly positioned. Kilmarnock

:26:46.:26:56.

complained. It was kept in play by Thompson. Did he catch him? That's

:26:56.:27:06.
:27:06.:27:12.

the question. I suppose the answer teams have traded penalty kicks. It

:27:12.:27:20.

is the second of the season against Kilmarnock for Dylan McGowan. --

:27:20.:27:30.
:27:30.:27:30.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

:27:30.:28:34.

David Barron. Kilmarnock will fancy their chances

:28:34.:28:41.

in the top half of the season? team is going to sneak in there. It

:28:41.:28:45.

is great for the league, maybe not so great for the managers and fans

:28:45.:28:49.

watching the games. In terms of entertainment and meaningful games,

:28:49.:28:53.

it has been a great season. Both teams will have the belief and

:28:53.:28:57.

expect to be in the top half I think. You are sympathising with

:28:57.:29:03.

managers now. How you've changed. Of course. James Dayton challenged

:29:03.:29:07.

by John Robertson. Was there contact there? It is very difficult

:29:07.:29:11.

to see. It doesn't look like it. I think he is anticipating the

:29:11.:29:14.

contact. It's the slightest of contact if it is. Even if it is I'm

:29:14.:29:20.

not sure it's enough for a penalty kick. I don't think it's a foul.

:29:20.:29:25.

This one I think is. He slid in front of the ball to try and block

:29:25.:29:31.

it. It is clever play to put his body in front there to make the

:29:31.:29:39.

contact happen. I think that one is a penalty. The worst case scenario

:29:39.:29:43.

is that it would be clipped back into the box. It is giving away a

:29:43.:29:51.

penalty and a goal. St Johnston couldn't come up with a

:29:51.:30:01.
:30:01.:30:01.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 96 seconds

:30:01.:31:08.

against Cally Thistle in the Johnstone take the lead. I am not

:31:08.:31:12.

sure Dundee are too impressed with this. It crept through the legs of

:31:12.:31:22.

Gallagher. There was a crunching tackle in to the keeper. I think

:31:22.:31:32.
:31:32.:31:38.

that is what they are not happy The challenge came from Davidson.

:31:38.:31:43.

It is a blow for Dundee, their skipper stretchered off, only just

:31:43.:31:53.
:31:53.:32:05.

looked like a shout. Steve Lomas, continuing in the stands. He looks

:32:05.:32:12.

quite comfortable. And no wonder. St Johnstone are bossing things.

:32:12.:32:22.
:32:22.:32:49.

Vine possibly should have made it got in behind McAllister, the on-

:32:49.:32:59.
:32:59.:33:15.

loan Aberdeen player. Off the top those rising shot. He was desperate

:33:15.:33:25.
:33:25.:33:37.

to see it come down sooner than it it better than that to beat him. He

:33:37.:33:47.
:33:47.:33:58.

Dundee watched it go past. Appoints looked to be staying in Perth. --

:33:58.:34:07.

Dundee make too big a contribution to opposition goals. This was a

:34:07.:34:13.

classic case. To lose a tight game like that is so disappointing for

:34:13.:34:18.

Barry Smith. They are fighting for every point that they get. To lose

:34:18.:34:21.

it like that is disappointing. I do not know what the defender was

:34:21.:34:26.

trying to do. His body shape was wrong, his footwork was all over

:34:26.:34:29.

the place. They will be bitterly disappointed, especially when they

:34:29.:34:33.

look at the league table. Johnstone had a couple of penalty

:34:34.:34:39.

claims, maybe at opposite ends of the scale. Firstly, Gallagher and

:34:39.:34:43.

Tade. I think the referee thought it was his shoulder, but it was

:34:43.:34:53.

more of his arm. It was a bit of a It is very difficult for the

:34:53.:34:57.

referee to see that, but they had a case. If there is such a thing as a

:34:57.:35:03.

good dive, that was a pretty good one. Never a penalty, though.

:35:03.:35:07.

chance. He wasn't a great position to cut the ball back, or to have a

:35:08.:35:11.

shot at goal. It is hard when you do not see it up close, but it

:35:11.:35:15.

certainly looked like a dive and the referee got it right. Barry

:35:15.:35:20.

Smith has a meeting with the board coming up shortly. Whether that is

:35:20.:35:23.

to allocate some funds, or whether it is about his future, we are not

:35:23.:35:27.

sure at the moment. What should Dundee do with Barry Smith, nine

:35:27.:35:33.

points adrift at the foot of the SPL? The brave decision would be to

:35:33.:35:36.

keep him. He was the right manager to try to lead them into the

:35:37.:35:40.

Premier League when they did not know they were getting in. He has

:35:40.:35:44.

the same budget and players. He has had no time to prepare his squad

:35:44.:35:47.

for the Premier League. If the worst comes to the worst and they

:35:47.:35:51.

go down, the money they have got from being in the league could be

:35:51.:35:54.

used to make them stronger. He could use some of that money, even

:35:54.:35:58.

just now he is starting to bring in and build the next year. Even if

:35:58.:36:02.

the worst does happen. If he was right at the start of the season,

:36:02.:36:10.

they should stick by him and continue with their plans. There

:36:10.:36:14.

was an entertaining start to the new year in the north-east.

:36:14.:36:24.
:36:24.:36:32.

Aberdeen played Dundee United at good start. Russell Anderson really

:36:32.:36:42.
:36:42.:37:02.

should have hit the target. Right early advantage. Scott Vernon, with

:37:02.:37:09.

his second SPL goal of the season. He was set up brilliantly by Ryan

:37:09.:37:19.
:37:19.:37:36.

Fraser. You can see why Aberdeen denied. United, at last get

:37:36.:37:42.

possession of the ball, with Aberdeen threatening to run riot.

:37:42.:37:52.

Cierzniak did really well to keep that fallout. -- ball out. That was

:37:52.:37:57.

a nasty clash of heads between Anderson and Rankin. It will be a

:37:57.:38:03.

Dundee United free kick. That will be sore for both players. Craig

:38:03.:38:13.
:38:13.:38:21.

Brown has not had his defensive Gunning. United are level. --

:38:21.:38:25.

stooping to nod it in. It looked odds-on that Daly would put it into

:38:26.:38:35.
:38:36.:38:52.

the net. That was kept out by caught late by Russell Anderson. It

:38:52.:38:57.

was poor defending by Reynolds. Willo Flood did well. Russell could

:38:57.:39:07.
:39:07.:39:14.

not keep the shot down, but that goes to celebrate, but it looked

:39:14.:39:22.

kick to Aberdeen in a promising area. -- the back of McGinn. Niall

:40:33.:40:39.

McGinn curls it in. That is a beauty. Aberdeen are level. He just

cannot stop scoring. But he has not scored many better than that. That

:40:44.:40:54.
:40:54.:41:03.

was a peach. His 15th Aberdeen goal pretty much straight at him.

winning goal there. Again, rising highest, but failing to hit the

:41:20.:41:29.

One person who will be especially pleased was Scott Vernon, scoring

his second League goal. It is really surprising, because last

:41:33.:41:37.

time he was well into double figures. Aberdeen are doing a lot

:41:37.:41:43.

better than last year, so it is surprising. But he is obviously

:41:43.:41:47.

worth his starting place, Craig Brown thinks, because he is playing

:41:47.:41:51.

every week. He is bringing more to the team man just goals. It is

:41:51.:41:54.

always good to score, but he is obviously bringing a lot to the

:41:54.:41:59.

team. Someone else has been banging in the goals for them. They have

:41:59.:42:06.

been scoring a lot, which is helpful. Normally two goals at home

:42:06.:42:10.

would be good enough to win the game. They can come themselves

:42:10.:42:13.

unlucky. They are doing pretty well at the moment and they probably

:42:14.:42:18.

thought they had done enough to win. It is amazing what appearing on

:42:18.:42:21.

Sportscene can do to you. Jamie Langfield had a bit of a shocker

here. But I have a feeling you will be supportive. I will try my best.

:42:27.:42:31.

It was the run from Willo Flood that did the damage for the keeper.

:42:31.:42:36.

If he was not there, he would pick it up 100 times out of 100. The

:42:36.:42:40.

fact that he made the run just made him take his eye off it and look at

:42:40.:42:46.

the striker. He has to try to get something behind it. The worst case

:42:46.:42:51.

scenario is that it spells out. But I can understand what he has done.

:42:51.:42:56.

I have done it myself and it is not nice when it happens. That wraps up

:42:56.:43:00.

the case for the defence. The scrap for European places is going to get

:43:00.:43:04.

interesting in the second half of the season. Aberdeen and Dundee

:43:04.:43:07.

United will hope to be in it. Inverness and Motherwell are up

Lots of teams in contention. League is so tight. Shutting down

for a month will give teams like Inverness, Motherwell, Hibs, a

chance to re-energised. Teams like Motherwell, with a lot of good

young players will hope that no more leave, because if they lose a

couple I am not sure they have the depth for players to come in. Hibs

:43:35.:43:38.

will be looking to secure more loans, and the loans they have

already. And the Hearts will be hoping that the window closes
