Hello, good evening, and welcome to Sportscene.

:00:00.:00:07.

Distant memories. Recent memories. Seizing the moment. Carved out on

:00:08.:00:55.

the famous old trophy. Tomorrow, clubs who only lifted the cup in

:00:56.:00:58.

black and white against more colourful recent winners. Celtic are

:00:59.:01:04.

the William Hill Scottish Cup winners for 2013. This is history.

:01:05.:01:10.

the William Hill Scottish Cup Today, a throwback, two finals from

:01:11.:01:18.

this millennium. He scores. The 2003 Hampden Park showpiece. And the

:01:19.:01:23.

chance to avenge 2010. David Goodwillie. Magic. Recent memories,

:01:24.:01:31.

distant memories, making memories. It has been a day to remember in the

:01:32.:01:35.

William Hill Scottish Cup. Over the next 50 minutes we will bring you

:01:36.:01:40.

highlights from both of today's quarterfinal matches. A memorable

:01:41.:01:47.

day calls for memorable guest. They are Michael Stewart and Pat Nevin.

:01:48.:01:50.

We start with a repeat of the 2010 Scottish Cup final. Ross County had

:01:51.:01:55.

never beaten Dundee United in this competition, United bottom of the

:01:56.:01:58.

Premiership, what they did beat Ross County in the league last weekend.

:01:59.:02:06.

In Dingwall for us was Liam McLeod. Dundee United stepping out for what

:02:07.:02:11.

is their 14th cup quarterfinal in succession. The twice winners are

:02:12.:02:14.

aiming to put their Premiership trials and tribulations to one side

:02:15.:02:20.

against the team they beat to win the second of those Scottish cups

:02:21.:02:24.

and 2010. Lots have changed since that day. Then a first division

:02:25.:02:32.

side, Ross County our eight places better off than they are more

:02:33.:02:36.

illustrious opponents. They are aiming to reach their second

:02:37.:02:42.

semifinal of the season. Jim McIntyre brings top scorers Liam

:02:43.:02:45.

Boyce and Brian Graham back into his side. The latter featured in a

:02:46.:02:53.

substitute -- as a substitute in the 2014 final.

:02:54.:03:02.

The normal Dundee United goalkeeper is injured, so Luis Zwich start

:03:03.:03:06.

single for the first time since the defeat by Celtic on it over. Ryan

:03:07.:03:15.

Dow comes into the team. Sean Dillon, the club captain, plays. It

:03:16.:03:21.

is also the first art of the season for Henri Anier. Jim McIntyre

:03:22.:03:25.

resolve smiles. No wonder, a quarterfinal at home, and the League

:03:26.:03:30.

Cup final against Hibernian next Sunday. The referee is Craig

:03:31.:03:36.

Thomson. He has handled the final of this competition on three separate

:03:37.:03:42.

occasions. The fourth Scottish Cup meeting between the two, the 2010

:03:43.:03:49.

final clash was a day for Dundee United in the sun. Can Ross County

:03:50.:03:57.

beat them for the first time? He is confident they can beat the drop and

:03:58.:04:00.

confident they can go further in this tournament. The ball by Paul

:04:01.:04:04.

Dixon. Richard Foster did know much Dixon. Richard Foster did know much

:04:05.:04:08.

-- did not know much about that. That is a great touch by Liam Boyce.

:04:09.:04:15.

Paul Paton is floundering in his wake. Liam Boyce cannot turn it home

:04:16.:04:24.

after Luis Zwich saves. This is great payback -- great play by Liam

:04:25.:04:29.

Boyce. Dundee United did not deal with it at all. It was a lovely ball

:04:30.:04:35.

by Irvine. Luis Zwich saved with his feet. It could have gone a where. He

:04:36.:04:43.

was inviting the predatory Liam Boyce to shoot from six yards. Paul

:04:44.:04:49.

Paton Bidwell as well. It is the closest we have come to a goal in

:04:50.:04:57.

the cup tie. Inside to Woods. He scored the first in the League Cup

:04:58.:05:03.

victory against Celtic. Irvine stabs it forward and gets it back

:05:04.:05:10.

immediately. This is a good spell. A good spell for County. Knocking the

:05:11.:05:20.

ball about well in the final third. The snapshot from Irvine. Graham

:05:21.:05:30.

digging it out, looking for Jonathan Franks. Mark Durnan Alex Tettey and

:05:31.:05:41.

seedy corner. -- Mark Durnan concedes the corner. Davies. Flicked

:05:42.:05:54.

home by Liam Boyce. He ends a goal drought and puts Ross County in the

:05:55.:06:01.

driving seat in this last eight tie. He had not scored in eight, and that

:06:02.:06:05.

is 18 for the season. Simplicity itself. One corner, two headers, and

:06:06.:06:17.

in the blink of an eye, it is 1-0 to Ross County. This is Richard Foster.

:06:18.:06:30.

Liam Boyce, great dummy. I showed for handball, but the referee

:06:31.:06:37.

disagrees. -- the claim for handball. He was onside. That could

:06:38.:06:45.

be a big let off for Dundee United. I think Liam Boyce knows that. There

:06:46.:06:50.

was no flag against the Northern Irishman. A great chance for a Liam

:06:51.:06:57.

Boyce to make it two. He has had a good few opportunities, that is

:06:58.:07:03.

first. United had taken things up at the back in away matches in

:07:04.:07:07.

particular. That goal from Liam Boyce in the first half was the

:07:08.:07:11.

first that United have conceded since the match at Dens Park in

:07:12.:07:19.

January. Irvine, looking for Graham. It is only half cleared. What an

:07:20.:07:24.

effort from Irvine. He thought he had scored. This is a cracking hit

:07:25.:07:32.

from Jackson Irvine. Controlled, powerful. Luis Zwich was rooted to

:07:33.:07:36.

the spot. It was the wrong side of the post.

:07:37.:07:48.

This is Ryan Dow, coming more and more into this game. You sense there

:07:49.:08:00.

is a goal and as for Dundee United. There were three of them last week.

:08:01.:08:09.

It was not the best ball from Blair Spittal. Michael Gardyne giving it

:08:10.:08:16.

away. Mark Durnan. What is he going to do? Henri Anier. It is 1-1. Henri

:08:17.:08:30.

Anier scores for Dundee United for the first time in the campaign. It

:08:31.:08:38.

has drawn the Tangerines level in the Highlands. The Estonian pounces.

:08:39.:08:47.

Just when Dundee United needed a hero.

:08:48.:08:54.

Henri Anier has been booked for his celebrations. He well might be

:08:55.:09:02.

bothered about that now. Good play by Mark Durnan. It looked like it

:09:03.:09:06.

had gotten away from him. He was going for a goal himself. He did

:09:07.:09:13.

enough. The ricochet favours United. They have not had much luck this

:09:14.:09:17.

season. Henri Anier was there to gobble it up in his first start of

:09:18.:09:26.

the season. Mark Durnan, he switched off. He has brought Brian Graham

:09:27.:09:34.

down. That will be a penalty, and surely a red card for Mark Durnan.

:09:35.:09:38.

It has got to be a red card. It is a red card. What was he thinking?

:09:39.:09:44.

Dundee United had just hauled themselves back into this cup tie,

:09:45.:09:50.

and for a split-second Mark Durnan switched off. He got himself in all

:09:51.:09:56.

of trouble. He holds Brian Graham to the ground. He has presented Ross

:09:57.:09:59.

County with an immediate chance to the ground. He has presented Ross

:10:00.:10:04.

restore their lead. Brian Graham, against his old club. He has the

:10:05.:10:13.

chance to restore the county lead. They are playing the ten men. It is

:10:14.:10:24.

Brian Graham, it is 2-1. Quake as a flash, this game turns again. It is

:10:25.:10:32.

nine for the season for the big striker. Luis Zwich went the right

:10:33.:10:41.

way. Brian Graham managed to squeeze it home. He will be devastated,

:10:42.:11:03.

without a doubt. Henri Anier, who briefly had belief coursing through

:11:04.:11:06.

United veins. It is still alive for them. John Rankin floats attend. It

:11:07.:11:16.

is Henri Anier again, stunning. What a stunning 510 minutes we have had

:11:17.:11:21.

in Dingwall. Henri Anier with the double. This is a brilliant finish

:11:22.:11:28.

in Dingwall. Henri Anier with the from Henri Anier. As cool as you

:11:29.:11:39.

like. It flicked off the head of Andrew Davies, which allowed it to

:11:40.:11:43.

foul for Henri Anier. That is a lovely finish. -- to fall. Good

:11:44.:11:58.

footwork from Blair Spittal. He has been a shining light for Dundee this

:11:59.:12:04.

season. It has been a dark tunnel for United, most of it. That was a

:12:05.:12:11.

heavy touch from Alex Schalk. Dillon does what he has to do, and that is

:12:12.:12:16.

tackle Alex Schalk and win the ball back for United, just as it looked

:12:17.:12:20.

like he was going to slice open the United rearguard. Henri Anier, going

:12:21.:12:26.

from one end to the other. He has polluted back. -- pulled it back.

:12:27.:12:34.

Ryan Dow is having a go at the rectory because he has had to

:12:35.:12:38.

deviate from his run because of the position of the referee. -- having a

:12:39.:12:49.

go at the referee. You wonder if the referee had not been there, would

:12:50.:12:53.

Ryan Dow have got their ahead of Irvine. This is Irvine. You would

:12:54.:13:00.

not predict who would win this, if there is to be a winner today.

:13:01.:13:07.

Michael Gardyne. That is unlucky. That has taken a touch.

:13:08.:13:17.

United would have held their breath as Gardyne got it on to his left

:13:18.:13:21.

foot. There is still time to find a winner

:13:22.:13:36.

for both. Michael Gardyne. Good play, swept in. That is a big

:13:37.:13:46.

chance. Raffaele De Vita at the back post. If United went on to win this

:13:47.:13:56.

match today, and go through to the semifinals, what character it will

:13:57.:13:59.

have shown, what confidence it will give them for the matches that lie

:14:00.:14:03.

ahead. There are loads of big games coming up for them. This is Ryan

:14:04.:14:12.

Dow. He goes to Blair Spittal. In it comes for Mckay. Unbelievable. Mixu

:14:13.:14:24.

Paatelainen punches the air with delight. Well he might. The ten men

:14:25.:14:31.

of Dundee United have just gone in front for the first time today. It

:14:32.:14:37.

will surely seal their passage to the last four. A beautiful ball by

:14:38.:14:46.

Spithill. -- Blair Spittal. Billy Mckay does not miss from there. This

:14:47.:14:51.

coming in the last minute of normal time. What an afternoon for Mixu

:14:52.:15:01.

Paatelainen. It is not overreact. That is Liam Boyce. Liam Boyce

:15:02.:15:12.

thought he had salvaged a replay. It was a nice header by Alex Schalk.

:15:13.:15:19.

The outside of the boot, and it goes wide. Craig Thomson's whistle

:15:20.:15:27.

signals that Dundee United into the semifinals of the William Hill

:15:28.:15:32.

Scottish Cup. A quite astonishing second half. Twice county lead

:15:33.:15:39.

through Liam Boyce and a Brian Graham penalty after Mark Durnan was

:15:40.:15:44.

sent off. Henri Anier levelled the tie twice before Billy Mckay's

:15:45.:15:48.

header from inside the six yard box in the final minute of the night

:15:49.:15:53.

they had sent county, the League Cup finalists, spinning out of the

:15:54.:16:00.

Scottish Cup in Dingwall. In the Highlands, after an incredible and

:16:01.:16:06.

pulse baiting -- pulsating Scottish Cup final, 3-2.

:16:07.:16:12.

Obviously, I did not realise how late it was in the game when I

:16:13.:16:19.

scored. I managed to find myself a bit of space in the box and got on

:16:20.:16:22.

the end of it. He liked it to get the win. The way the game had gone,

:16:23.:16:28.

going down to ten men, being behind, we showed great character. It is a

:16:29.:16:34.

golden opportunity to get to another national semifinal. Frankly, we did

:16:35.:16:40.

not stop the crosses for the three goals. It is not good enough. We

:16:41.:16:49.

have got to get out, get close. United were down to ten men and we

:16:50.:16:53.

seemed to stand off them and allow courses to come into the box. We

:16:54.:16:57.

have got to be much better than that. It was a real sore one to

:16:58.:17:04.

take. What an interesting season Dundee United are having. After the

:17:05.:17:08.

final whistle, I spoke to Mixu Paatelainen. Thank you very much for

:17:09.:17:11.

joining us. Huge congratulations on your victory today - you must be

:17:12.:17:16.

thrilled with the character shown by your players? Absolutely. The boys

:17:17.:17:21.

were fantastic. To be fair, in the last few weeks, we have shown a

:17:22.:17:25.

great woman never say die attitude. And that is what we had today. -- a

:17:26.:17:32.

great, never say die attitude. It makes the journey back down a lot

:17:33.:17:37.

easier. It look like the sending-off of Mark Durnan might be a turning

:17:38.:17:42.

point in this match - did you have any complaints about the decision?

:17:43.:17:47.

No, I thought it was a red card. I thought it was a penalty. The

:17:48.:17:51.

referee was bang on. Obviously, we should have cleared that situation

:17:52.:17:56.

much earlier, but we didn't. But prior to that, the way we played, I

:17:57.:18:02.

felt we were the better team in the first half and the early part of the

:18:03.:18:09.

second half. We got back into the game and then the incident happened,

:18:10.:18:13.

2-1 down. We felt that because of the way we played, we wanted to keep

:18:14.:18:19.

some parts of our tactics going, instead of just defend. And we got

:18:20.:18:27.

the reward. The boys were full of running and effort to get forward.

:18:28.:18:33.

We look at dangerous, even with the man down. I can only thank the

:18:34.:18:40.

players for the shift and the effort they put in. It was a thrilling

:18:41.:18:46.

match to watch, especially in the second half. Billy Mckay I got the

:18:47.:18:50.

eventual winner, but what a time for Henri Anier to step up with a goal?

:18:51.:18:56.

Yes, obviously, he has had difficult times. He was on loan at Hibs, came

:18:57.:18:59.

back, has not played too much. This times. He was on loan at Hibs, came

:19:00.:19:02.

was his first start this season for us. And what a full debut this

:19:03.:19:09.

season for him. Fantastic full stop but to be fair to him, he works

:19:10.:19:12.

very, very hard on the training ground. He is a powerful player with

:19:13.:19:17.

good ability, so we felt that against the strong centre halves

:19:18.:19:21.

that Ross County have, he might worry them. And he did. Excellent

:19:22.:19:28.

effort from him. It is back to the small matter of staying in the

:19:29.:19:31.

Premiership on Friday against Motherwell of course. But the way

:19:32.:19:35.

things are going, it is a roller-coaster, but if you stay in

:19:36.:19:39.

the Premiership, win the Scottish Cup, suddenly you are manager of the

:19:40.:19:45.

year? Let's not get carried away! But we will enjoy this victory. It

:19:46.:19:50.

makes the journey back down easier. Next Friday, Motherwell. I believe

:19:51.:19:56.

they shattered today so they are on form again. They beat us a couple of

:19:57.:20:02.

weeks ago. Who knows? With the spirit we saw today, anything can

:20:03.:20:04.

happen. Huge congratulations. spirit we saw today, anything can

:20:05.:20:14.

Paatelainen, a very happy man tonight. Pat, that red card looked

:20:15.:20:19.

like it might be a turning point in this match for Dundee United, we

:20:20.:20:25.

thought? We certainly did. But Mixu has made some good decisions

:20:26.:20:30.

recently. This was a blue was the best one he has made for quite some

:20:31.:20:34.

time! We will look at the penalty first and just pause it here.

:20:35.:20:40.

Durnan, he is 100% favourite to win that ball. But he kind of stops, and

:20:41.:20:43.

I don't know why. I don't think that ball. But he kind of stops, and

:20:44.:20:48.

anybody will understand, apart from Durnan, why he does it. Really he

:20:49.:20:52.

has been involved in a challenge here before with Graham. It is not

:20:53.:20:57.

as if he does not know he is on his shoulder. The 'keeper is far too far

:20:58.:21:01.

back. He has got to know that Graham is there, and he has got to make

:21:02.:21:05.

sure that he gets his body in front. But he doesn't. There is no big

:21:06.:21:11.

argument. He takes his time, things about it, but there is no argument

:21:12.:21:15.

really. The only person who does not think it is a penalty is Durnan. It

:21:16.:21:24.

is only a slight pull, but it is a pull. You're just getting back into

:21:25.:21:28.

the game, and suddenly, you have a nightmare - what do you do? And he

:21:29.:21:35.

goes ultra positive? Normally you would go 4-4- one. Or 4-3- two. But

:21:36.:21:50.

he was extremely positive. I think the team were probably playing 343

:21:51.:21:55.

before that. By all accounts, yet they have played three at the back

:21:56.:21:58.

for a while, so this will have fitted their shape. When you win the

:21:59.:22:03.

ball and get yourself in good positions, you have got more players

:22:04.:22:08.

up the park. If we pause it here, you have got your midfield free

:22:09.:22:14.

here. So you have got three going forward. As we go forward, you find

:22:15.:22:22.

you have actually got another three at the back. So you are actually

:22:23.:22:26.

outnumbering the opposition even though you are down to ten men.

:22:27.:22:30.

You're putting them under great pressure. It is fine, you are too-

:22:31.:22:37.

one down, you can throw caution to the wind. Maybe it is not that

:22:38.:22:43.

brave. Because you have to get into the game and it is a cup tie. Of

:22:44.:22:49.

course it is a bit risky as well. 2-2 away from home, with ten men,

:22:50.:22:53.

you're thinking you might just take that? This is the most impressive

:22:54.:22:59.

thing, he carries on! He thinks, I am going to try and win this game.

:23:00.:23:06.

The drag back is fantastic. But the amount of players who wants to get

:23:07.:23:12.

forward here... If we just have a look, there is a whole bunch of

:23:13.:23:21.

players forward again. Three here, and there you have got your other

:23:22.:23:24.

three. The one which is most impressive is him. Even though it is

:23:25.:23:29.

the last minute, away from home, down to ten men, he wants to get in

:23:30.:23:34.

there and try and win the game. It is an attitude which Mixu has built

:23:35.:23:39.

recently. Of course it is. Also, Ross County have got to do better

:23:40.:23:43.

defensively. You can see how disappointed Quinn was. He is going

:23:44.:23:49.

absolutely nuts. Ross County have got so many back, they have got to

:23:50.:23:56.

defend that better. It is a fantastic win, but you can do it

:23:57.:24:01.

once or twice. But doing it at the right time and having the convention

:24:02.:24:05.

to stick with it, that is what impressed me most. -- the

:24:06.:24:10.

conviction. Next weekend is absolutely massive for Ross County

:24:11.:24:13.

as well. They are in the League Cup Final against Hibernian and you can

:24:14.:24:18.

watch all the action on Sportscene live from Hampden on Sunday. Back to

:24:19.:24:26.

the Scottish Cup. The first of the quarter finals this weekend was at

:24:27.:24:29.

Ibrox. It was Rangers up against Dundee. Wood comes from Paul

:24:30.:24:45.

Mitchell. -- commentary comes. It may now make the Scottish Cup

:24:46.:24:47.

less of a distraction for the Ibrox club. It is back-to-back away ties

:24:48.:24:53.

for Dundee. They travelled to Dumbarton in the last 16 Lawro they

:24:54.:25:01.

needed a replay to earn this away day in Glasgow. Billy King and

:25:02.:25:09.

Michael O'Halloran are cup-tied. Rikki Clarke finds a place on the

:25:10.:25:19.

bench. Dundee took a point from the trip to Celtic in midweek. Paul

:25:20.:25:25.

Hartley sends out a more familiar starting XI, with the return of five

:25:26.:25:34.

players. Those include captain Gary Harkins. The first ever managerial

:25:35.:25:38.

meeting of Paul Hartley and Mark Warburton. Our referee is Alan Bure.

:25:39.:25:45.

He last took charge of Dundee in the last defeat, against Aberdeen. --

:25:46.:25:57.

Alan Muir. Rangers immediately in possession. And quickly moving

:25:58.:26:03.

forward... Forrester! 14 seconds gone and Harry Forrester blasts

:26:04.:26:08.

Rangers ahead! What just owning start! -- what a stunning start!

:26:09.:26:19.

Rangers showed their intent from the off. Simple pass by Ball. Miller

:26:20.:26:28.

came short. Dawdling on the ball was Kevin Holt. And Harry Forrester

:26:29.:26:37.

fired it past Scott Bain. Such a narrow angle. He scores for Rangers

:26:38.:26:46.

in his third consecutive match. What a start. McGinn doing enough against

:26:47.:27:02.

Mckay. That is a brilliant ball inside. Rangers looking for a

:27:03.:27:12.

second. Scott Bain making the stop. Forrester turned supplier that time.

:27:13.:27:24.

Forrester will get it back. It could be in! It has gone wide! McGinn was

:27:25.:27:35.

shouting. Communication breakdown. Just coming back off Paul McGinn.

:27:36.:27:46.

In two Erskine. That is a lovely first touch. Harkins with the shot!

:27:47.:27:56.

Well, Dundee can create very quickly. It is the trio of Hemmings,

:27:57.:28:06.

Stewart and Harkins. It just came off the heel.

:28:07.:28:16.

Barrie McKay pounces on the loose ball. Kenny Miller is wide. Kenny

:28:17.:28:26.

Miller! Sliding in was Darren O'Dea. Darren O'Dea, showing his

:28:27.:28:31.

experience. He look outside him and saw where the danger was.

:28:32.:28:39.

Forrester handmade the run down the right, but it comes back inside to

:28:40.:28:51.

iron. A little dummy by Holt. Jason Holder, taken out. Holt got the

:28:52.:29:10.

touch. Tavernier. And a one-handed save. The goalkeeper in good

:29:11.:29:16.

position. Greg Stewart, with McGinn outside

:29:17.:29:45.

him. Foderingham did well. Holt kept it in.

:29:46.:30:11.

The run from Tavernier! And the sliding challenge came in from

:30:12.:30:17.

McGowan. Back to McGowan. Hemmings will break

:30:18.:30:35.

for it. Corner. Into stoppage time in the first

:30:36.:31:00.

half. Greg Stewart with the corner. That is lofty. Kane Hemmings could

:31:01.:31:09.

not get a touch on that, and it went straight to the arms of the

:31:10.:31:13.

goalkeeper. If he had got the glancing header, it would have been

:31:14.:31:16.

goalkeeper. If he had got the worked on the line for the

:31:17.:31:21.

goalkeeper. Kenny Miller, he cannot get away from McGinn. The referee

:31:22.:31:30.

glances at his watch. Into the sunshine. Stewart, with Tavernier.

:31:31.:31:43.

It is still Gary Harkins. The ball out wide to Nick Ross. Three in the

:31:44.:31:50.

box for Dundee. Block by Tavernier, and that will be half-time. Rangers'

:31:51.:31:56.

100th goal of the season came from Harry Forrester. Silly in three

:31:57.:32:02.

games for the Englishman. An electric start from Rangers. At

:32:03.:32:14.

half-time, it is 1-0. Dundee get the second half of this Scottish Cup

:32:15.:32:19.

quarterfinal under way. They found themselves behind after just 14

:32:20.:32:29.

seconds, but they conceded no further goals. The message from Paul

:32:30.:32:34.

Hartley will be to forget about the first half and go out there and play

:32:35.:32:42.

as you can. Being at Ibrox seems like a disadvantage to Dundee, but

:32:43.:32:48.

they have won on three of the last six Scottish Cup trips to Ibrox.

:32:49.:32:52.

There have only won once in 11 at Dens Park. It is picked up by every

:32:53.:33:04.

life. Inside, with Kane Hemmings. No changes at half-time.

:33:05.:33:18.

Forrester, the goal-scorer, trying to link with Kenny Miller. Chased by

:33:19.:33:31.

Kevin Holt. McKay pops up on the right side, and usually. That is a

:33:32.:33:37.

great ball, the lay-off Kenny Miller. Jason Holt completes the

:33:38.:33:45.

second goal for Rangers. The stun them in the first half. It has taken

:33:46.:33:49.

longer in the second, but Rangers with a crucial second goal. Harry

:33:50.:33:55.

Forrester from Tavernier. It is a wonderful cross ball. Barrie McKay

:33:56.:34:00.

saw the run of Kenny Miller and chested down. It is a good header

:34:01.:34:07.

from Jason Holt. He scores in the Scottish Cup for Rangers for the

:34:08.:34:13.

first time. Dundee in real trouble. Wonderful play. Rangers are 2-0

:34:14.:34:20.

ahead. The right place at the right time for the former Hearts man.

:34:21.:34:21.

Scott Bain was left with no chance. Dundee need something soon. Greg

:34:22.:34:50.

Stewart with the cutback. Tavernier lays it into the path of Robert

:34:51.:34:56.

Kiernan. Left or right, it does not matter for Barrie McKay today, great

:34:57.:35:03.

wing play. He cuts inside. He is away from O'Dea. Kenny Miller takes

:35:04.:35:07.

over. Kenny Miller is knocked to the ground out of sheer frustration.

:35:08.:35:13.

That is a sore one. The apology comes from Nick Ross. The referee

:35:14.:35:23.

almost getting in the way. It is going to be Halliday. It is going to

:35:24.:35:30.

be a third goal. His first goal in the Scottish Cup for seven years for

:35:31.:35:36.

Andrew Halliday. It is good night, Dundee. Rangers are three ahead, 54

:35:37.:35:42.

minutes played, and the side at the top of the Championship are running

:35:43.:35:46.

roughshod over the side that are fifth in the Premiership. Bain got a

:35:47.:35:49.

roughshod over the side that are hand to it, but could not keep it

:35:50.:35:55.

out. The wall did not do its job, and Rangers can almost taste the

:35:56.:35:57.

semifinal. Kenny Miller, brilliant, to Lee

:35:58.:36:18.

Wallace. Scott Bain to the rescue. The last time Scott Bain played

:36:19.:36:23.

against Rangers in a Scottish Cup tie, he conceded seven as the Alloa

:36:24.:36:35.

Athletic goalkeeper. That is a good angle ball to Paul McGowan, but they

:36:36.:36:39.

cannot finish. Rangers have just enough. This is Kerr. Kerr clipped

:36:40.:36:45.

the ball inside. He will get the free kick. He said it was his

:36:46.:36:52.

shoulder. It is where you put your shoulder sometimes that is the

:36:53.:36:56.

problem. It just got tangled that the feed of Paul McGowan. 15 minutes

:36:57.:37:05.

to play. Can Dundee look for any sort of Lifeline? Gary Harkins. That

:37:06.:37:15.

sums up the day for Dundee. That did not work from Paul McGowan.

:37:16.:37:32.

Kenny Miller on the inside. He has gone himself, Lee Wallace. A

:37:33.:37:37.

wonderful goal from the Rangers skipper. Rangers four, Dundee zero.

:37:38.:37:44.

A Scottish Cup semifinal place for Rangers. Lee Wallace, the captain,

:37:45.:37:51.

with a wonderful solo goal. He scored against Cowdenbeath and that

:37:52.:37:55.

was a good one, but this is much better. Away from Paul McGowan and

:37:56.:38:01.

inside O'Dea. Scott Bain with no chance with the finish. Some great

:38:02.:38:07.

team goals and individual goals. Individual style from Lee Wallace. A

:38:08.:38:13.

player so full of confidence and the nonchalant finish.

:38:14.:38:20.

It is all over at Ibrox. Success for Mark Warburton. Harry Forrester put

:38:21.:38:52.

Rangers ahead after 14 seconds. They did not add to the goal tally in the

:38:53.:38:56.

first half. They blew Dundee away with two quick second-half goals.

:38:57.:39:02.

Lee Wallace's goal-scoring cameo completed the scoring. Foreign Burke

:39:03.:39:07.

-- for Dundee, it is the fourth quarterfinal loss in the last ten

:39:08.:39:11.

years. Rangers are in the semifinals of the Scottish Cup. Lee Wallace

:39:12.:39:15.

will lead his side into the last four. On the day, they certainly

:39:16.:39:28.

deserve to be there. 4-0 at Ibrox. Jude to an ongoing situation between

:39:29.:39:32.

BBC Scotland and Rangers, we do not have any interviews from Ibrox

:39:33.:39:36.

today. We were all expecting a tight game between Dundee and Rangers but

:39:37.:39:41.

it did not transpire. It was a great performance from Rangers. You are

:39:42.:39:46.

right, there was lots of discussion about how Rangers would feel against

:39:47.:39:49.

Premiership opposition. They blew them away, right from the start,

:39:50.:39:55.

getting the goals are warily. It's solidified their dominance

:39:56.:39:58.

throughout the game, the scored at vital times, and by the end, they

:39:59.:40:04.

were very much worthy winners. 14 seconds, that is how long it took

:40:05.:40:09.

for the first goal. So disappointing for Paul Hartley, but what a start

:40:10.:40:14.

for Harry Forrester. It is a dream start in a cup game, getting the

:40:15.:40:19.

crowd behind you. It is about putting the other team on the back

:40:20.:40:24.

foot. This tackle, the manager is saying, press them high early in the

:40:25.:40:28.

game. That is more than you would expect. The first time tackle. It

:40:29.:40:35.

led to a better game of football. It became incredibly open. There was no

:40:36.:40:40.

point in Dundee sitting back. It became an open game. Five minutes

:40:41.:40:45.

later, Rangers could have been three up. Plenty happening from the start.

:40:46.:40:49.

Not the fastest goal in Scottish Cup history. This is the televisual

:40:50.:40:55.

evidence we have of the fastest goal that we can see. It was John Hewitt,

:40:56.:41:02.

back in 1982, Aberdeen against Motherwell, 9.6 seconds. Not the

:41:03.:41:09.

best defending. Any time you get a start like that, it can change the

:41:10.:41:12.

mindset of every player and the start like that, it can change the

:41:13.:41:16.

manager and the tactics. What a generally leads to is a good game.

:41:17.:41:21.

Let's look at the Harry Forrester more detail. A great start for

:41:22.:41:27.

Rangers, but Dundee will be disappointed. Of course. The manager

:41:28.:41:33.

will be tearing his hair out. Pat is right. Harry Forrester is pressing

:41:34.:41:40.

and that the intent Rangers had. The graphic shows the defenders. They

:41:41.:41:45.

need to offer more cover for each other. It happened so quickly, they

:41:46.:41:50.

did not get a chance. Darren O'Dea does well. The goalkeeper has to

:41:51.:41:54.

make sure that the front post is covered. Every time Darren O'Dea is

:41:55.:42:02.

showing the attacker to the side, the goalkeeper has got to cover the

:42:03.:42:08.

post. Maybe he could have been cover better. Perhaps he should have

:42:09.:42:12.

engaged higher up. It is ten seconds into the game. You are not into the

:42:13.:42:17.

rhythm, so mistakes like that or understandable. Unfortunately for

:42:18.:42:22.

Dundee, there were other mistakes during the game. Rangers were

:42:23.:42:23.

superb. Michael made an important during the game. Rangers were

:42:24.:42:28.

point, scoring goals at the right moment. It looks like a hammering,

:42:29.:42:36.

4-0, but in reality, 425 minutes Rangers were brilliant, but Dundee

:42:37.:42:41.

were the side for put. The second half was the same as the first half.

:42:42.:42:46.

They started well. This must be frustrating for Paul Hartley. It is

:42:47.:42:52.

a fantastic move from Rangers. There are 12 passes to get to the final

:42:53.:42:56.

move. If you get yourself in space in the box, he is shouting for it.

:42:57.:43:01.

If you have got space, you have to make a good first touch. How good is

:43:02.:43:07.

that touch? That is a tremendous goal. All the way from their own six

:43:08.:43:12.

yard line. It is one of the best team goals I have seen this season.

:43:13.:43:20.

You take nothing away from that. Then you can relax and enjoy. Your

:43:21.:43:24.

role-playing and wanting to score. They took over. The Andy Halliday

:43:25.:43:30.

goal, in the 54th minute, it was at a great time for Rangers. Yes, round

:43:31.:43:38.

about the one-hour mark. Bain will be disappointed. You can see the

:43:39.:43:43.

runner over, and it makes my -- Bain take a step to his left. The

:43:44.:43:49.

goalkeeper has got to cover the goal. If the Verney puts it over the

:43:50.:43:53.

wall, the goalkeeper can do nothing about it. If the goalkeeper had

:43:54.:43:57.

stayed in his position, he would have stopped that. -- if Tavernier.

:43:58.:44:08.

Lee Wallace with a great goal. Yes, we have spoken about this before,

:44:09.:44:14.

the overlap. He is like a train. That is unstoppable. The cause he is

:44:15.:44:18.

going so quickly, there is nothing they can do. He has power, he is

:44:19.:44:22.

very direct. This is interesting. He they can do. He has power, he is

:44:23.:44:27.

gets his head down and goes towards the defenders. They cannot engage in

:44:28.:44:32.

before the box they cannot tackle him. If they miss him and tackle, it

:44:33.:44:38.

is a penalty kick and they will be sent off. We spoke about him last

:44:39.:44:44.

time. Is there a possibility he will get dragged into the Scotland squad

:44:45.:44:50.

again? He is doing it all the time. Remember the criticism that Rangers

:44:51.:44:54.

got after the St Johnstone game at Ibrox, seeing how far behind they

:44:55.:44:59.

were. This is a good Dundee team who have not giving away goals and they

:45:00.:45:02.

have been playing well. The scored four. Congratulations to Rangers and

:45:03.:45:09.

Gray quarterfinals tomorrow as well. Gray quarterfinals tomorrow as well.

:45:10.:45:13.

-- two. What a goal from Roberts! And there

:45:14.:45:47.

is live coverage of Hibs versus Inverness tomorrow afternoon on

:45:48.:45:56.

Sportscene. And then join us at 10.34 highlights of the day's

:45:57.:46:01.

action, including Celtic's match with Morton, plus all the

:46:02.:46:06.

Premiership action am talking of which, we all know Celtic are

:46:07.:46:10.

toiling, there is pressure on Ronny Deila - how much of a banana skin is

:46:11.:46:15.

that? When your confidence is low, it is a huge banana skin. They will

:46:16.:46:20.

have to make sure they get a good result. If the unthinkable was to

:46:21.:46:23.

happen and they were to lose at Celtic Park, then I think the

:46:24.:46:26.

pressure could almost be too much to take full Ronny Deila and his

:46:27.:46:31.

position would be almost untenable. Looking at the other match, Hibs -

:46:32.:46:36.

Inverness, how do you see it going? Just on Celtic, the fact that they

:46:37.:46:41.

are four points clear in the league, it could only happen in Scotland!

:46:42.:46:47.

Yes, Hibs- Inverness, everybody has been saying it is the hardest one to

:46:48.:46:51.

call. Both teams have been having a little bit of a dip in form. I think

:46:52.:46:55.

it is a bit more than that for Hibs. I have kind of crashed. They have

:46:56.:47:03.

had a huge long period, and then three defeats in eight days. They

:47:04.:47:12.

have to get it in their mind that they can get back from that. Today,

:47:13.:47:15.

in the Premiership, there were two big matches. Hamilton Academical

:47:16.:47:21.

lost to Motherwell. Hearts beat Partick Thistle at Tynecastle. It

:47:22.:47:27.

leaves the Premiership table looking like this... In the Championship it

:47:28.:47:34.

was also a busy day. Falkirk beat Alloa Athletic 2-0. Living stone

:47:35.:47:43.

beat Dumbarton... It means that Falkirk have taken advantage of

:47:44.:47:47.

Rangers and Hibs playing in the cup and they are now in second place.

:47:48.:47:55.

Pat, I have to ask you, in terms of Hibs, it is a strange set of

:47:56.:47:58.

priorities at the moment, with the League Cup Final next weekend and

:47:59.:48:03.

this battle in the Championship. If you ask Alan Stubbs, he will say,

:48:04.:48:07.

every game as it comes. Yes, they would love to win the Scottish Cup

:48:08.:48:11.

but they are in a final, and that would probably be the priority. But

:48:12.:48:15.

in the end, every Hibs fan will say, it is the league. Thank you very

:48:16.:48:22.

much. Today's first half of quarterfinal weekend was not bad.

:48:23.:48:26.

We're hoping for even better tomorrow. Until tomorrow, good

:48:27.:48:28.

night. say, it can work two ways.

:48:29.:49:06.

Thankfully we got on top. You are confident you will get a chance to

:49:07.:49:10.

make sure Newcastle are in the Premier League? I hope so. I believe

:49:11.:49:14.

in what we are doing and our staff. I

:49:15.:49:16.
