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 | :16:17. | :17:54. | |
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. | |

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. | |
like it went straight in off Jamie Langfield. Russell's cross to the | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
near post. Disastrous for the goalkeeper. Willo Flood was in | :39:26. | :39:36. | |
:39:36. | :39:41. | ||
close attendance but got nothing on half. He could not find a way to | :39:41. | :39:51. | |
:39:51. | :40:25. | ||
from the young defender. Langfield He does not agree but it is a free | :40:25. | :40:33. | |
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 | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
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. | :41:03. | :41:13. | |
:41:13. | :41:20. | ||
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 | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
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 | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
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 | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
there. We will work on the basis that Celtic are winning the title. | :43:11. | :43:18. | |
Lots of teams in contention. League is so tight. Shutting down | :43:18. | :43:23. | |
for a month will give teams like Inverness, Motherwell, Hibs, a | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
chance to re-energised. Teams like Motherwell, with a lot of good | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
young players will hope that no more leave, because if they lose a | :43:29. | :43:35. | |
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 | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
already. And the Hearts will be hoping that the window closes | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
before any more leave. Into the new year with the Clydesdale Bank | :43:47. | :43:57. | |
