Hello, good evening, and welcome to Sportscene. | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
An Scottish Cup fifth round weekend, prospective strange. That is | :00:10. | :01:02. | |
Griffiths. Into the net. Never two-dimensional, always another | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
view, another way to look at things. Sometimes, they are not what they | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
seem. What a goal. I chance for smaller clubs to think big. I came | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
for the big boys not to look down unsupported inferiors. Edinburgh | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
divided, the rivalry never greater. Both clubs with past glories, and | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
both with the cup score to settle. Today, different dimensions and | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
local rivals. Good evening. Whatever your | :01:38. | :02:03. | |
perspective, cup magic takes many forms, giant-killing attempts, great | :02:04. | :02:13. | |
stories, great drama, we are packed with it tonight on Sportscene, plus | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
a top of the table match from the Premiership as well. Top of the | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
table gets, Pat Nevin and Steven Thompson in the studio this evening. | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
It was hard to see past the Edinburgh derby at as the tie of the | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
William Hill Scottish Cup fifth round. Few Hearts and Hibs clashes | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
had waited the appetite as much as this one. Hearts and Hibs and -- in | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
different divisions. We don't much difference on the pitch? At | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
Tynecastle, Alasdair Lamont. It is a special beer Tynecastle | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
despite the howling rain. The first and perhaps the only Edinburgh derby | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
of the season awaited with relish by both sets of supporters. Both teams | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
going to be fixture in excellent form. Hearts, as the home side in a | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
Renault ship, must be the favourites. Hibs proved against in | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Johnstone last weekend that they must be taken seriously. Osman Sow | :03:06. | :03:16. | |
has departed Tynecastle. With Rossi suspended, Sam Nicholson comes into | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
the team. Hibs bead Greenock Morton on Tuesday. The introduced David | :03:24. | :03:33. | |
Gray, Marvin Bartley and Jason Cummings to the line-up. Hibs about | :03:34. | :03:46. | |
serious goal threat of their own. Many a Premiership club would | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
welcome the partnership of Jason Cummings and Anthony Stokes. Anthony | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
Stokes as two goals for Hibs. Both sides optimistic coming into | :03:52. | :04:10. | |
this match, confident as a result of the excellent form they have showing | :04:11. | :04:20. | |
already course of the season. -- shown over the course. That was a | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
slight pass. John McGinn, such an impressive performer last weekend, | :04:30. | :04:30. | |
including a stunning goal. The of Callum Paterson. -- the throw | :04:31. | :04:51. | |
in against Callum Paterson. Can Hibernian draw first blood at | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
in against Callum Paterson. Can Tynecastle? That is | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
in against Callum Paterson. Can forcing Neil Alexander into a diving | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
save. The first corner kick goes the way of the visitors, John McGinn | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
save. The first corner kick goes the full of confidence. That was going | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
to Colin Slade Alexander's left-hand post. The corner kick will be taken | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
by Henderson. I real chance. He is offside. The Hibs celebrations are | :05:15. | :05:24. | |
quickly curtailed. Jason Cummings questioning the decision of the | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
assistant referee with mail. The Hearts marking was not good. It is a | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
correct decision. You can see Jason Cummings closer to the goal than the | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Hearts defender. Craig Thomson making sure that Jason Cummings | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
understands that. Alan Stubbs has a joke with the fourth official. He | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
will be pleased by the way things have started for his side. No sign | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
of nerves, that is for sure. That is going to run out for a | :05:56. | :06:14. | |
corner kick. Hibernian with another opportunity to put pressure on Neil | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
Alexander's goal. Neither side has really been able to force the | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
opposition goalkeeper into a save of any note, other than John McGinn's | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
effort. This is another chance for Hibernian. It is flagged just over | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
the crossbar by Anthony Stokes. He got just enough on that to direct it | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
towards the goal. Unfortunately for the on loan striker, it was just too | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
high. Robbie Neilson has seen his side perform admirably in the first | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
season back in the Premiership. They are struggling at the moment against | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
Hibernian. Jordan McGhee able to get the crossing. As far as Don Cowie. | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
The challenge on John McGinn from Callum Paterson. Hearts take a quick | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
throw in. Players closed down. Hearts have a corner kick. Can they | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
create their first opening of the match? A player has gone down in the | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
penalty area, but Craig Thomson points in the opposite direction. It | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
will be a Hibernian free kick. Darren McGregor was holding on the | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
arm of guests team. -- blase Agdestein. -- Agdestein. | :07:48. | :07:58. | |
McGregor will have to watch this one. | :07:59. | :08:11. | |
The decision goes the way of Hearts. Look at the rim. What a goal from | :08:12. | :08:28. | |
Arnaud Djoum. Hearts make the breakthrough in the Edinburgh derby. | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
What a beautiful strike from the Hearts midfielder. Our fifth goal of | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
the season for Arnaud Djoum. Has he hit any sweeter than this? | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Absolutely no chance for Mark Oxley. hit any sweeter than this? | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
Heart of Midlothian move in front against their Edinburgh rivals. It | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
is their first shot on goal, really. What I short it was. -- shot. There | :09:00. | :09:10. | |
is the reaction from the Hearts head coach. Henderson, trickery from him. | :09:11. | :09:19. | |
Taking down by Jordan McGhee. A free kick in a promising position for | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Hibernian. Ten minutes of the first half remaining. What can Hibs do to | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
respond to the inode Jim Gold? It is a good free kick, really dangerous. | :09:32. | :09:42. | |
-- the Djoum goal. Liam Henderson, just begging to be headed into the | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
net. Anthony Stokes was closest to it for Hibernian. Hibernian, for all | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
their possession, have not managed to make the breakthrough and find | :09:53. | :09:53. | |
themselves behind. It falls for Nicholson inside the | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
penalty area. What a finish from Sam Nicholson. Hearts have doubled the | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
lead. A great goal from Sam Nicholson. The fifth of the season | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
for the winger. Hearts are really in command. Three minutes before the | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
interval, again Callum Paterson giving too much room to get out the | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
cross. Nicholson had plenty of space inside the Hibernian penalty area. | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
He made the most of it with a fine drive past Mark Oxley. It is 2-0 | :10:34. | :10:43. | |
four Hearts. Hearts have one foot in the Scottish Cup quarterfinal, | :10:44. | :10:43. | |
surely. John McGinn, what can he produce? | :10:44. | :11:02. | |
Past one player, and another, and the free kick given by Craig | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
Thomson. He might have let that continue as Marvin Bartley was in a | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
decent position. None the less, this is dangerous as far as Hearts are | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
concerned. Anthony Stokes with the four man Hearts wall in front of | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
him. Plenty of Hibs jerseys in the box. That | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
him. Plenty of Hibs jerseys in the Anthony Stokes. Just what Hibernian | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
did not want. Well away from the target. Alan Stubbs ponders what you | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
might do in the second have to try to get back into the match. | :11:39. | :11:47. | |
Henderson's free kick, flicked on by Gunnarsson. A good save by Neil | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
Alexander. The flashing header by the substitute, Gunnarsson. A good | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
delivery again by Henderson and Alexandre Song that all the way. -- | :11:58. | :12:12. | |
Alexander saw that. Anthony Stokes, trying to get the shot away. The | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
side netting, only. Anthony Stokes has got two goals since his return | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
to the Easter Road club. How he would have hoped to have made it | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
three. A chance to get Hibs back into this match. He sliced it wide | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
of Neil Alexander's goal. Two goals as a Hibs play against | :12:33. | :13:05. | |
Hearts in his previous time at the club. Not too far away from Anthony | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
Stokes this time. Still didn't test Neil Alexander, and Hearts breathe | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
again. Seeing his side produced a marvellous run of form, only one | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
defeat in the last 24 matches. Bartley is taken down, free kick | :13:20. | :13:38. | |
quickly taken. Again the free kick taken very quickly by Hibs, who know | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
that time is against them. taken very quickly by Hibs, who know | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Henderson's Cross, Cummins's header is into the net! Hibs have a goal | :13:46. | :13:55. | |
back, game on at Tynecastle! Jason Cummings with his 19th goal of the | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
season, and could it be one of the season, and could it be one of the | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
most precious? A beautiful header. Henderson's cross, Neil Alexander | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
just watched it looped over him and into the corner of the net. And it | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
really is a Scottish Cup tie, with ten minutes remaining, Hibs are | :14:12. | :14:21. | |
right back in this. What a ten minutes we have in store here at | :14:22. | :14:29. | |
Tynecastle. Flick from Stokes to McGinn. Now Stephenson inside the | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
penalty area. Shot straight at Neil Alexander on this occasion. You can | :14:35. | :14:44. | |
feel the anxiety around Tynecastle, Hibs supporters still rooting behind | :14:45. | :14:45. | |
the goal of Neil Alexander. Callum Paterson will send it in | :14:46. | :15:00. | |
towards the Hibs penalty area. Narrowly wide of goal. Almost a | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
debut goal for the striker, glancing header. Oxley wasn't getting there. | :15:09. | :15:20. | |
Hibs get the free kick. In the final minute of the 90. There will be | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
quite a few minutes to be added on. John McGinn prepares to fire this | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
ball into the Hearts penalty area. It's a corner kick to hit -- to | :15:32. | :15:44. | |
Hibernian. Craig Thomson spotted a bit of barging in the six yard box, | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
telling the players to come down as McGinn prepares to curl this in | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
towards goal. Good save, hand and returns it, it's into the net! | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
Unbelievable! Hibernian have snatched it to level things up! | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
Unbelievable scenes at Tynecastle as Hibs come from two goals down. | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Hanlon returned it and Neil Alexander couldn't reach it. Quite | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
startling stuff here in the Edinburgh derby. The Hibs fans in | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
raptures behind Neil Alexander's goal. Paul Hanlon booked for a | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
celebration. Alan Stubbs in celebratory mood. And in injury | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
time, Hibs have surely earned the replay. Hearts might not be finished | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
just yet, it's Don Cowie. Oh, unbelievable! The relief is large on | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
the face of Nicolas Gunnarsson. What a finish to the match that would | :16:56. | :16:56. | |
have been. a finish to the match that would | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
injury time. Off Kelly has a blast that goal, and | :17:00. | :17:15. | |
Hibs on the counterattack. Anthony Stokes, two against two. Cummins is | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
the target. Just a bit heavy for him, he's not going to reach it. | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
This has been quite astonishing in the closing stages at Tynecastle. | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
Hearts coming so close to winning, eventually Hibs scrambled back. | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
Craig Thomson brings up alternating Scottish Cup tie to an end. It will | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
be a replay at Easter Road, we will do it all again. Finished at | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
Tynecastle 2-2. I never doubt this team. I never doubt the players that | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
I've got. I knew that we would have to score sooner rather than later, | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
Bart Ighalo is felt once we scored that we were going to get the | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
second. You only have to look at the amount of possession, second balls | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
that we had in the second half. We've come here against a really | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
good Hearts team and I feel we deserved the draw that we got in the | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
end. First half we played really well, the second half we did not | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
press as well as we should have and handed them the initiative. To lose | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
two bad goals at the end. But it is going to be a moneyspinner for both | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
teams, huge game, and we look forward to it. Before we get to the | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
technical aspects, what again. Brilliant, it had everything. A lot | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
of expectation before the match and it did not disappoint. It was played | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
at a furious temper. Hibs probably started the brighter team, and | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
Hearts found their gear and Ben were ruthless. They didn't have many | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
opportunities, but they took them well. A boom from Djoum and a ban | :19:03. | :19:14. | |
from Sam. That's good. Stevenson should deal with that with his feet, | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
don't know why he was going for a header. But an unbelievable finish, | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
angle is against him. Acres of space, 20 or 30 yards. He puts a bad | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
ball into the box, but it's not dealt with properly, and Djoum takes | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
a touch. He hits this, the goalkeeper is at. Which, but there's | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
no stopping it. He has good qualities as a player. I've been | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
impressed with him. He is an aggressive player as well. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Definitely a good bit of business. Paterson on the right finds himself | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
in space. A wonderful pass, Nicholson ghosting in at the | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
backpass, lovely touch and a great finish to the legs. David Gray may | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
be a wee bit disappointing, not being so aware of Sam Nicholson | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
behind him but you can't take anything away from the touch and the | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
finish. At this point in time I could not see a way back into the | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
game for Hibernian. Hearts very much on top at that point but it was a | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
thrilling comeback in the end from Hibs. Audacious header from Cummins. | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Absolutely, in the build-up there were two quick free kicks taken. The | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
cross, how he digs that out is almost beyond belief. But the header | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
is just ridiculous. He knows exactly what he's doing. There is no luck in | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
that goal. He gets so much power on it. That shaded area is where is | :20:45. | :20:56. | |
Turk would normally go. Neil Alexander being blocked, and that's | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
why Hibs get the chance. Look at this, just a little nudge, not much, | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
and it's using the momentum going forward. He gets a little yard or | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
two. That's what happens on corner kicks. You have to use it. There was | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
such a desire in that Hibs team at that point, you felt it was coming. | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
Hanlon also played well and deserved the goal. Let's hear from the scorer | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
of that Hibs equaliser, second goal in that match, Paul Hanlon. Feeling | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
a bit down but the manager picked as back-up, and said we could get right | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
back in it, and we believed it. All credit to the manager. We are not | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
going into any game with any fear no matter the opposition at the minute. | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
It is great to go into every game full of confidence knowing that you | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
could win. We managed a draw from 2-0 down and it feels a bit like | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
winning. Paul Hanlon on how Alan Stubbs picked the team up. What did | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Alan Stubbs actually do to turn things round? I think there was a | :22:06. | :22:14. | |
tactical change. Grey was injured, and on came Gunnarsson. Number of | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
things he did differently. Big strong lad, loads of pace. His | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
positioning when he wanted to get the ball. When it is first play to | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
him, he is getting the ball almost as a right winger. Normally your | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
full-back is back there with long way to go. A lot of differences to | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
that, when the ball comes back, one touch, to touch, then they are into | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
almost the 18 yard area. He has given them a lot more impetus going | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
forward. Have a look at his position, that's the right | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
full-back. That's really high up the pitch. That's a good winger's | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
position. The full-back will come out and that is opening up gaps. So | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
it's asking an awful lot of different questions to the Hearts | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
players. Look at Gunnarsson, different questions to the Hearts | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
not stopped, all different questions to the Hearts | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
park. Not a great ball out to him but he managed to get the corner, | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
and they got one of the goals from a corner kick. | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
and they got one of the goals from a line, asking questions. All you need | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
to do is get a touch and put it in the middle. Not a great cross but at | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
least you have a chance of a shot on goal. Really impressive when he was | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
going up that right wing. If you're right full-back happens to be six | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
feet and two inches, this will help you as well. This gave the Hibs fans | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
a massive lift, they started believing they were getting chances, | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
they had a good opportunity to get back into it. But pushing men are | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
and leaves you more exposed at the back. Of course. Playing in front of | :23:51. | :24:00. | |
the two centre-backs. Tackling brilliant. He's got Nicholson | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
getting really close to him but he is so strong, he's never giving that | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
away. He had to make a lot of big decisions. The Hibs players pushing | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
so much, looking for goals at the end of the game, they were left | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
short at the back. He's got a centre forward going to run onto him there, | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
short at the back. He's got a centre one-on-one, if he gets that wrong, | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
if he dives in, he's going to get sent off. If he misses the tackle, | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
the game is finished, there. You have to do the right thing. Stay | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
the game is finished, there. You with him for pace, make sure you are | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
strong, don't dive in, make the tackle when the time is right. | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
strong, don't dive in, make the attack. He did it time and time | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
again. This was particularly good because he was a long | :24:52. | :24:52. | |
again. This was particularly good for five yards behind. If he doesn't | :24:53. | :25:01. | |
again. This was particularly good get back, then | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
again. This was particularly good across. The problem is the man is | :25:06. | :25:06. | |
going across. The problem is the man is | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
and there is a great opportunity. He across. The problem is the man is | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
read it really well and again he does not panic. | :25:12. | :25:12. | |
read it really well and again he position. Is he going to dive in and | :25:13. | :25:20. | |
do a World Cup tackle? No. The massed ranks of the Hibs players get | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
do a World Cup tackle? No. The back. He did it all the way through | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
and I thought he was absolutely fantastic. Second-half particularly | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
when Arlott was asked of him. Great stuff. East Kilbride, could they | :25:30. | :25:40. | |
cause the greatest cup upset of all time? No chance was the general | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
consensus as they played Celtic today. | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
COMMENTATOR: A chilly afternoon here in Airdrie for what is the | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
COMMENTATOR: A chilly afternoon here shot at glory. The possible | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the biggest of minnows. Has | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for ever been such a lopsided matchup in | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
a competitive Scottish football game? The East Kilbride captain | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
a competitive Scottish football Barry Russell knows about cup | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
shocks, he was part of the Albion Rovers team that beat Motherwell and | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
almost defeated Rangers at Ibrox a couple of seasons ago. He plays in | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
the side 19-year-old Craig Howie. Martin McBride commutes between | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
London and Lanarkshire to play at the weekend. Fraser Johnston is on | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
loan from Airdrie, he knows this place pretty well. Some thought | :26:33. | :26:40. | |
Ronny Deila might give the fringe players an opportunity today. Colin | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
Kazim-Richards starts for the first time, he was a substitute against | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
Aberdeen in midweek. Welcome return for Charlie Mulgrew. He has missed | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
most of the season. Logan Bailly start in goal, as he did in the last | :26:55. | :27:01. | |
round at Stranraer. Billy Ogilvy, the coach, is a taxi driver by | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
trade. He was joking he might have to line up a string of black cabs | :27:08. | :27:08. | |
across the to line up a string of black cabs | :27:09. | :27:08. | |
Celtic out today. He was caught late, play on. Leigh | :27:09. | :27:26. | |
Griffiths leaves it for Ambrose. The defender was in the right place. | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
Well defended, but that is good refereeing. He will have a word with | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
the skill bride player who committed the challenge on the edge of the | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
box. -- the East Kilbride player. He saw the advantage for Celtic and let | :27:42. | :27:48. | |
the play golf. Sviatchenko. That is a brilliant save from Matt McGinley. | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
It was a good hate from Sviatchenko. The goalkeeper sees it late. Lots of | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
players in front of him. -- good strike. It has not been cleared off | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
the line and Celtic have popped it home. With this was right | :28:05. | :28:06. | |
the line and Celtic have popped it line and Celtic, finally an 20 | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
minutes, make the breakthrough against the Lowland League side who | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
could not keep it out. And done by the set piece. The touch is | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
definitely of Griffiths. They failed to clear this early on. It is a | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
Celtic head that wins this. It definitely hit him on the hand. They | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
have big ambitions, East Kilbride. There are some in the Highland | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
league, the Lowland League, who would not relish being promoted wide | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
the pyramid system into the SPFL, but East Kilbride you would imagine | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
would have ambitions for that. Celtic look for a second, it is | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
Forrest. McGinley saves. Celtic look for a second, it is | :28:53. | :28:59. | |
Russell is fouled by Kazim-Richards. A decent save by Matt McGinley. It | :29:00. | :29:04. | |
was a good early ball by Ambrose. James Forrest hits it well enough. | :29:05. | :29:10. | |
It is a nice hate for the goalkeeper, and eventually East | :29:11. | :29:12. | |
Kilbride managed to scramble the ball away. James Forrest struck the | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
ball well and the goalkeeper did his job. Mackay-Steven cannot | :29:17. | :29:31. | |
Can Coll Celtic get the ball back in quick | :29:32. | :29:47. | |
time. This is still Leigh Griffiths. It is a last-ditch intervention. | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
That was Gavin Lachlan. That is brilliant skills from Leigh | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
Griffiths. Really clever. He just cuts inside and not makes the next | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
one. Good backtracking by Gavin Lachlan. -- and nutmegs the next | :30:03. | :30:15. | |
one. Russell misjudges it. Mackay-Steven sees his shot saved by | :30:16. | :30:22. | |
McGinley. Another good save. He is having a good afternoon, the | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
goalkeeper. Mackay-Steven does well to keep this down. Straight at the | :30:27. | :30:28. | |
goalkeeper, but it is a good stop to keep this down. Straight at the | :30:29. | :30:35. | |
and even quicker reactions. In eight comes. Jack Smith. He cannot ease | :30:36. | :30:45. | |
the pressure. Mackay-Steven, back in. That could have gone anywhere. | :30:46. | :30:51. | |
They managed to get this away, but more a lot than good judgment. It is | :30:52. | :30:57. | |
a decent Bolling, but the complete mistake. It has gone for a corner | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
kick, but that could have ended up in the back of the net. Corner | :31:03. | :31:09. | |
number 13. It is Leigh Griffiths. It is forced home. Kazim-Richards | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
claims it. It was all about the bicycle kick. Celtic scored their | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
second less than five minutes into the second half. That will surely | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
see them through. Yet again, they failed to deal with the set piece. A | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
magnificent acrobatic effort from Leigh Griffiths. Kazim-Richards | :31:32. | :31:32. | |
magnificent acrobatic effort from the right place at the right time to | :31:33. | :31:38. | |
tap the ball over the line. It is his first for the club, his first | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
start from the club -- for the club. Brought in from flying just last | :31:45. | :31:49. | |
week. Colin Kazim-Richards, the Turkey International, he makes it | :31:50. | :31:58. | |
2-0 to Celtic. He certainly has good pedigree, Kazim-Richards. He played | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
in all his country's matches in their run to the semifinals of the | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
European Championship in 2008. Craig Howie was relieved to see that go | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
the wrong side of the post. It was an awkward ball to deal with. He had | :32:14. | :32:25. | |
to get it behind for the corner. This is Scott Allan. Scott Brown is | :32:26. | :32:34. | |
so unlucky. It was a lovely effort from Scott Brown. He strikes it | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
perfectly, or Princes body up and goes for the far corner, so unlucky. | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
Everyone is talking about East Kilbride, it was a defeat, but does | :32:45. | :32:48. | |
it feel like a victory? Not really. It was a hard shift for every single | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
one of us. From the first minute, we knew what we were up against. We | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
knew Celtic were going to have lots of possession but we had to stick | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
together and I think we did. You were very busy boy. What was it like | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
playing against the Scottish champions? Brilliant. We knew it was | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
going to be a difficult afternoon. The boys stuck together, first-class | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
old today. Ronnie, was it a convincing another victory? I do not | :33:17. | :33:22. | |
think we played well enough, but we won comfortably and we controlled | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
it. We wanted to create more. Having said that, it seems like we did not | :33:27. | :33:33. | |
manage the surface well. You got the first one. Did it take your hand on | :33:34. | :33:37. | |
the way and? It hit my hand. You need a bit of luck. Yes, we will | :33:38. | :33:44. | |
take it. The effort, the bravery, the organisation they put into that, | :33:45. | :33:50. | |
the discipline of the organisation, they were fantastic. The quality | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
they should, even on the ball, it was an absolutely fantastic game of | :33:55. | :34:00. | |
football for us today. 2-0 in the end for Celtic when most people were | :34:01. | :34:07. | |
expecting a cricket score. That equates, Steven, to credit for East | :34:08. | :34:12. | |
Kilbride. Yes, they should be proud of their performance today. They | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
were organised, disciplined, and yielding in defence. I have played | :34:17. | :34:20. | |
for teams that have tried to sit in against Celtic and they have lost | :34:21. | :34:27. | |
5-0. It is not easy. Was it a convincing win, that was the | :34:28. | :34:32. | |
question for Ronny Deila. Two goals, neither were classics. The first was | :34:33. | :34:37. | |
a handball. Yes, you cannot blame the referee, he could not see. It | :34:38. | :34:44. | |
was definitely handball. Only one player appeals for East Kilbride. It | :34:45. | :34:49. | |
is definitely handball. You can see it clearly. I like the way that | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
gritters runs away after the ball goes in. Did the referee actually | :34:53. | :34:58. | |
see that? The referee cannot see because there are far too many | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
bodies. He cannot see that Griffiths has touched it with his hand. Maybe | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
the linesman could have helped him. What does Scott Brown seta Leigh | :35:10. | :35:13. | |
Griffiths? I think he is saying which hand you use? He says, I think | :35:14. | :35:20. | |
it was the left. Hard lines for Matt McGinley in the East Kilbride goal. | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
He is a physical education teacher by day. He certainly had a good | :35:25. | :35:29. | |
work-out. He should be fed. He knew he was going to have a tough day. He | :35:30. | :35:35. | |
said that in the interview. Along with Barry Russell, he was a good | :35:36. | :35:41. | |
call for man of the match. He would say he did not have one of the best | :35:42. | :35:45. | |
days for him, but if you are goalkeeper, you say, I want to be | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
busy. It keeps you shout. He did not make any major mistakes. If you're | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
only going to lose two goals against Celtic, you're going to have to do | :35:56. | :36:01. | |
that. Celtic had 22 shots on goal. They had 17 corners as well. He has | :36:02. | :36:10. | |
to deal with all of that. Credit to them, and Matthew McGinley, Mr | :36:11. | :36:15. | |
McGinley to you, the teacher. That is every chance that East Kilbride | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
could become a great team, several years down the line. 2-0 today after | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
two defeats for Celtic. Where does this leave Ronny Deila's team? He is | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
under pressure. The Celtic fans this leave Ronny Deila's team? He is | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
not happy at the minute. It was this leave Ronny Deila's team? He is | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
laboured performance. They had the possession today, but they were not | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
convincing. It was flat. Lots of the players looked low on confidence. | :36:44. | :36:45. | |
The important thing is performance levels have to be | :36:46. | :36:55. | |
made yesterday in the Highlands as Linlithgow Rose became the first | :36:56. | :36:57. | |
junior club to compete in the last 16. It has been some journey. | :36:58. | :37:07. | |
Another early morning meeting at Prestonfield for another day on the | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
road in this record breaking Scottish Cup run. It is uncharted | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
territory for the junior club, Scottish Cup run. It is uncharted | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
amongst the last 16 and the test amongst Premiership opposition. One | :37:20. | :37:21. | |
amongst the last 16 and the test thing they have had plenty of | :37:22. | :37:23. | |
practice office how to -- enjoy a long awaited journey. It all | :37:24. | :37:33. | |
began to the south, and the Borders, in round one. And then it was to the | :37:34. | :37:40. | |
north, up the a name. Round three, and the journey they had to make | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
twice as winter weather played its part. This time it was floodlight | :37:45. | :37:49. | |
failure in the fourth round, but on the march to the last 16, and a | :37:50. | :37:55. | |
return to the North, a total of 2125 males. The captain Mark Tyrrell put | :37:56. | :38:00. | |
in the overtime to make sure you did get released from the day job where | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
he makes sausage skins amongst other things. We are massive underdogs. We | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
have got to enjoy the BNC where it takes is. We will give it our best | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
shot and see what happens. The Junior cup is all the main cup we | :38:17. | :38:28. | |
can try and win. Cheers. Thank you. That will that will have to happen | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
every week if you win today. I hope so. Who are the real characters, | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
there must be a few? Apart from me? That little cassette goes in, we | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
fire them up, and they all enjoy their day. Lots of people would look | :38:44. | :38:54. | |
at the mileage and say, why? If you support a club, you support a club, | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
whether it is five minutes down the road or five hours up the road. | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
You'll love your football club, this is it. You have got to be | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
entertained, and you get entertained at Linlithgow. We pay ?2 to get in. | :39:08. | :39:15. | |
It is value for money. You do not get that in Scottish football now. | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
We must be one of the few that are getting value for money. East | :39:20. | :39:29. | |
Kilbride, it is easy. Are you sick of the song or will you never get | :39:30. | :39:31. | |
sick? You cannot get sick of it. It is so exciting to be her. You | :39:32. | :40:03. | |
cannot believe how excited we are. And we? I think they may do it. | :40:04. | :40:12. | |
Today is brilliant. If we get beat tonight, so what? We are still going | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
to enjoy this. It is a day of enjoyment. | :40:19. | :40:27. | |
People say the travelling has been a hindrance. It has brought the team | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
in the community closer together. The whole town has backed us. They | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
have been coming in their hundreds to the game, so it has been great | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
for us. The players have got to know each other better, so things have | :40:43. | :40:47. | |
been good. Wonderful for them to get to the last 16. Having them here was | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
an encouragement to them and also to us, that the team from the Junior | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
League can get to this stage in the competition. We are delighted they | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
are here today. You give a cane gesture, bringing some of the | :41:01. | :41:04. | |
Linlithgow community operated about on the pitch. We decided that as a | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
junior club we would invite the directors for lunch, but we also | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
felt it was important for their youth and community Department, so | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
we paid for Buster, pure and coach them. We made sure they were | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
involved. It is part of what are. We are the underdogs and Ashley are the | :41:23. | :41:28. | |
underdogs, and we are expected to win. We have to make sure we are | :41:29. | :41:32. | |
professional and play the game with real temple. I am confident we will | :41:33. | :41:37. | |
create chances. There were four minutes on the clock when Katie made | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
the chances can. Paul Quinn continuing his prolific return to | :41:45. | :41:46. | |
the club. Linlithgow are called Gallant for a reason and they got | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
the rewards for battling away. Not one for Jamie Reckord to watch | :41:52. | :41:53. | |
again. Q Dillian in the away end. Set pieces had proved a thorn in | :41:54. | :42:04. | |
their side and Brian Graham had acres of space to restore the | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
Highlanders lead in the second half. Five minutes later the cushion | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
became two. Alex Schalk left with the simplest of finishes, 3-1, job | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
done. Rows don't tend to like sticking to the script, instead they | :42:21. | :42:27. | |
gave a masterclass in playing out from the pack. Nifty little turn and | :42:28. | :42:34. | |
a defence splitting pass. Rory McLeod and's perfectly placed finish | :42:35. | :42:41. | |
makes this a contender for goal of the tournament. -- MacLennan. It | :42:42. | :42:53. | |
wasn't to be for Linlithgow Rose. 4-2, and the magical run is over for | :42:54. | :43:00. | |
the gallant boys. It's been a fabulous run for them. We've got to | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
take it one at a time. Hearts on Wednesday night and we need to bring | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
a level of performance that is way higher than what we had today. To | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
come and score two goals is fantastic. The boys were brilliant. | :43:13. | :43:18. | |
To still be in the game after 60 minutes is excellent. Absolutely | :43:19. | :43:30. | |
brilliant, done the town proud. Fantastic football. There's only one | :43:31. | :43:42. | |
team singing today on the bus today. They certainly didn't park the bus, | :43:43. | :43:47. | |
great stuff. Super sub is an overused phrase in football, but | :43:48. | :43:50. | |
with these next matches it is utterly apt. | :43:51. | :43:58. | |
Inverness Caledonian Thistle rent a 100% record over Motherwell. Just | :43:59. | :44:07. | |
two matches played but two wins, could the steelmen make it third | :44:08. | :44:08. | |
time lucky? COMMENTATOR: That's unlucky. It's | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
still in play. Tremarco doesn't score many. This | :44:12. | :44:34. | |
looked harmless enough to start with, but the header was looping. | :44:35. | :44:44. | |
Good take by Hammell. What can Johnson can't appear? Scott McDonald | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
is so close. Both teams have hit the bar, now. Here is Mutombo. It might | :44:51. | :45:05. | |
sneak through to Tremarco, here. It's coming! It might well be an own | :45:06. | :45:14. | |
goal but the holders are in front. Waiting for the Hammell corner. | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
McManus arrived late. It's turned home! Its Scott McDonald! And it is | :45:21. | :45:23. | |
1-1 and it is game on at Fir Park! Three minutes of stoppage time being | :45:24. | :45:41. | |
added on. We have just gone into that. Here is Roberts. Oh, what a | :45:42. | :45:49. | |
goal! What a goal from Roberts! That has surely sealed their place in the | :45:50. | :45:51. | |
last eight. An explosive goal. COMMENTATOR: Now Chancellor Sean | :45:52. | :46:20. | |
Welsh. Kawashima couldn't hold that one, it was too fiery for him. The | :46:21. | :46:32. | |
United keeper gets away with it. This is Fraser. And just wide, off | :46:33. | :46:41. | |
the heel of Darren Seaborn and almost an immediate impact from the | :46:42. | :46:50. | |
Dundee United substitute. Here comes Coll Donaldson, emerging from the | :46:51. | :46:57. | |
defence. Paul Dixon's cross in. Simon Murray couldn't make much of | :46:58. | :47:05. | |
it. It breaks for spittle at the edge of the area, he finds Fraser | :47:06. | :47:11. | |
nicely. And Scott Fraser has surely put Dundee United into the | :47:12. | :47:12. | |
quarterfinal of the Scottish Cup. STUDIO: Two inspired substitutions, | :47:13. | :47:26. | |
two inspired goals. Certainly the one from John Roberts was right out | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
of the top drawer, fantastic. Really struggled since he joined from | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
injury to get fit. If this is the sort of thing he can produce. | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
injury to get fit. If this is the McGhee felt it was a foul. It would | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
have been a soft one. It was a soft challenge. Again he gets to cut | :47:45. | :47:50. | |
inside far too easily from a Motherwell point of view. Roberts | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
made the tackle, he has won it. Outstanding strike. Not the best | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
game, but it was a moment of magic. It was, fantastic reverse pass and a | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
lovely curls finished, composed finish. It had you drooling | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
yesterday, Pat? It is just this we feeling, Dundee United fans don't | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
want to say it, but they are getting a little bit of momentum. They are | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
going to stay up and win the Scottish Cup, that's what you are | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
saying. No, I'm not going to say that. But a little bit of momentum, | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
they have to keep it going. Three or four wins in a row will make a huge | :48:29. | :48:36. | |
difference. It's given them a boost. We are always in search of a shock | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
when it comes to the Scottish Cup. The next matches looked like they | :48:41. | :48:41. | |
might have potential. The former Rangers captain Lee | :48:42. | :48:52. | |
McCulloch made his managerial debut at Ibrox, but would it be a | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
memorable return for the interim Kilmarnock boss? | :48:58. | :49:06. | |
COMMENTATOR: Needs some help. Get tips from the full-back. Into the | :49:07. | :49:12. | |
middle, the header from Josh Magennis. That's a great chance for | :49:13. | :49:18. | |
their top goal-scorer. Lovely ball inside, worked the 1-2. The cross | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
was inviting. Rattles it off inside, worked the 1-2. The cross | :49:22. | :49:30. | |
post. Well, he made something out of nothing, there. Came into his feet, | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
he turned so quickly. Jamie MacDonald was beaten. | :49:36. | :49:47. | |
Works his way free, Jamie MacDonald makes the stop. Good strike, | :49:48. | :49:51. | |
excellent goalkeeping. Made the run, off the crossbar. Side | :49:52. | :50:11. | |
netting. Made his run, got the header. Couldn't put it on target. | :50:12. | :50:24. | |
The boot was slightly-Higginbotham. Yellow card. In fact it is a red | :50:25. | :50:29. | |
card. Well, he was battling for it, the substitute. The dude was up. And | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
card. Well, he was battling for it, Kallum Higginbotham is off. Under | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
two minutes to play. He came across, it was high. For violent conduct, | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
Kallum Higginbotham is sent off. Championship play-off hopefuls | :50:43. | :50:52. | |
Morton needed their wits about them as they paid a visit to fourth round | :50:53. | :50:59. | |
giant killers Annan Athletic. Stefan got the memo as he set the visitors | :51:00. | :51:05. | |
on their way. And on the stroke of half-time they doubled their lead. | :51:06. | :51:12. | |
Dennie Johnstone deciding after his fresh overshot it was better to | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
leave the shooting to someone else, McKee gratefully accepting. Morton | :51:17. | :51:21. | |
continued their dominance. Bobby Barr showing a clean pair of heels | :51:22. | :51:27. | |
to pick out McCloskey for his second of the match. Pleas for offside from | :51:28. | :51:30. | |
the defence falling on deaf ears. If it wasn't over already it soon was. | :51:31. | :51:38. | |
It was McCloskey who would grab the headlines, smashing in for a | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
memorable hat-trick. There was a consolation for the hosts, inspired | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
by a Morton of their own, Jordan Moore to and with a wonderful ball | :51:51. | :51:54. | |
across. Matt Flynn on hand to give the fans something to cheer. Dundee | :51:55. | :52:08. | |
had knocked out championship opposition in high-flying Falkirk | :52:09. | :52:10. | |
had knocked out championship but they were to find it an | :52:11. | :52:12. | |
altogether more frustrating afternoon against Dumbarton. Nick | :52:13. | :52:17. | |
Ross finding a way past the keeper. Rory Loy should have done better. It | :52:18. | :52:24. | |
was then the turn of the inform striker to be Jamie Ewings in the | :52:25. | :52:30. | |
Dumbarton goal. Mark Docherty doing the business online. Dundee | :52:31. | :52:39. | |
continued to press and did get the ball in the net. Kane Hemmings not | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
getting the benefit of the doubt from the assistant referee. Goal | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
number 17 of the season would have to wait. Dumbarton detritus match a | :52:48. | :52:55. | |
memorable win late on. Doherty this time going for heroics at the other | :52:56. | :52:59. | |
end. But it wasn't to be, and these two will meet again a week on | :53:00. | :53:05. | |
Tuesday. STUDIO: After all that it leaves us with a triple bill of | :53:06. | :53:11. | |
replays, here we go. Looks pretty tasty as well. | :53:12. | :53:21. | |
Time for a quick time-out from the Scottish Cup. Huge match in the | :53:22. | :53:26. | |
Premiership yesterday, Aberdeen aiming to go level on points with | :53:27. | :53:34. | |
Celtic at the top of the table. But they needed to win away at St | :53:35. | :53:42. | |
Johnstone. COMMENTATOR: Five changes to the same side that lost the | :53:43. | :53:44. | |
League Cup semifinal. Michael Halloran now a | :53:45. | :53:53. | |
late change Aberdeen, Mark Reynolds taking the place of Andrew Considine | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
who had been listed to start. Swung into the middle. It's not a | :53:57. | :54:13. | |
great clearance. Shane Long with the chance to drive it across, and it's | :54:14. | :54:22. | |
Rooney! 1-0 Aberdeen. Adam Rooney after just five minutes, slipped in | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
by Smith. Logan across, and a simple tap in. The corner is low. Back to | :54:27. | :54:42. | |
Scobbie. Danger not clear. Wotherspoon into the middle. | :54:43. | :54:45. | |
Anderson's header gathered by Scott Brown. Scobbie is yet to score as a | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
St Johnstone player. Saw that one come back off the post. Just two | :54:52. | :54:58. | |
points in the last four league games for Saints. Shinnie on the charge. | :54:59. | :55:06. | |
Liam Craig. That will be a yellow card. Peter Pawlett favourite to | :55:07. | :55:21. | |
take this. He strikes. His fill the goalkeeper! Low into the corner it | :55:22. | :55:26. | |
goes. It's his first domestic goal of the season. Alan Mannus was | :55:27. | :55:37. | |
unsighted. Darnell Fisher. Saints building up slowly. Great backheel, | :55:38. | :55:46. | |
past Taylor, and their first league goal since the start of December and | :55:47. | :55:49. | |
they are back in the match through David Wotherspoon. Clever play from | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
Stephen Maclean. Good footwork by Wotherspoon. Shinnie. Aberdeen | :55:54. | :56:01. | |
building again. He Rooney and Fisher. That looked like a free | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
kick, not given. Shinnie worked his way through, past Miller. That could | :56:08. | :56:15. | |
have finished anywhere. He gets a little hand slap from Scobbie. | :56:16. | :56:21. | |
Awkward for the defender. McGinn with the corner. Strikes the post. | :56:22. | :56:29. | |
Taylor is in there It's going to be cleared. Wotherspoon clears the | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
danger. The goalkeeper left scrambling around. Rooney. On the | :56:35. | :56:46. | |
haze. Anderson. Craig managing to clear the danger. Shown too much of | :56:47. | :56:52. | |
that, chance for church to put it back onto McGinn. Not the perfect | :56:53. | :57:00. | |
finish but now McGinn will take it. It's his ninth goal of the season. | :57:01. | :57:04. | |
Mistake from Shaughnessy and Aberdeen restored their 2-goal lead. | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
Saint battling hard. Here is Wotherspoon. Played onto Adam | :57:09. | :57:16. | |
Rooney. Rooney, who started the scoring after five minutes. Being | :57:17. | :57:20. | |
allowed to run here. Sliding challenge on successful. Steps away | :57:21. | :57:25. | |
from Anderson. The cross is deflected. And Adam Rooney, from | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
inside his own half, takes the ball all the way through. The deflection | :57:31. | :57:42. | |
helped. Corner sent deep, Anderson gets out. And with 11 minutes to | :57:43. | :57:49. | |
play, Steven Anderson nets for the first time this season. St Johnstone | :57:50. | :57:59. | |
continuing to attack. Off the head of Shaughnessy, back to Scobbie. | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
It's a first St Johnstone goal, his 92nd appearance, good hit from | :58:05. | :58:11. | |
Scobbie. Overall we probably done enough to get something out of the | :58:12. | :58:14. | |
game. But we can't give four goals away like we did. Everyone of them | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
we have totally contributed to. It was exciting. We were brilliant at | :58:20. | :58:24. | |
times in the game. Some real good play. But the constant from me was | :58:25. | :58:32. | |
we wanted to keep applying that pressure. In those closing stages, | :58:33. | :58:37. | |
last 15 to 20 minutes, it just wasn't there. Tommy Wright not | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
pleased with the goals conceded in wasn't there. Tommy Wright not | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
which contributed to a huge victory for Aberdeen. Massive victory. St | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
Johnstone were very poor defensively. A lot of individual | :58:50. | :58:55. | |
errors. They are missing Dave McKay, their best defender. It was first | :58:56. | :59:05. | |
snatched clearance. This one, you don't really need to highlight what | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
the problem is, here. They were poor defensively the whole game, but | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
credit to Aberdeen, going into this game after the Celtic result, | :59:15. | :59:17. | |
everybody was wondering whether they could keep it up. It was a massive | :59:18. | :59:23. | |
victory. As important as the victory was that Aberdeen followed it up | :59:24. | :59:25. | |
with another three points. The team was ultra-positive, lots of | :59:26. | :59:36. | |
attacking players. He needs to win games. Draws are no good any more. | :59:37. | :59:40. | |
You might as well go for it. If you're going to win the league, that | :59:41. | :59:45. | |
is what you need to do. The Premiership table makes happy | :59:46. | :59:48. | |
viewing for Aberdeen fans, Aberdeen level on points with Celtic at the | :59:49. | :59:53. | |
top. Aberdeen have played one game more, and they have a far inferior | :59:54. | :59:59. | |
goal difference. It is certainly exciting times. The focus is very | :00:00. | :00:03. | |
much on the league race next weekend. We will be looking at the | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
Premiership and the Championship. We are on BBC Two next weekend at ten | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
o'clock. Reports this evening in terms of, next football club that | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Lee Clark is to be offered the vacant manager's position at Rugby | :00:18. | :00:27. | |
Park. -- Kilmarnock football club. What do you make of that? He has got | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
a lot of pedigree. He has managed at a higher level. I think it will be a | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
good addition. Kilmarnock, whoever they get in, this is a vital | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
appointment. They are stealing in the face massive battle. No doubt | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
they have done their homework, there will be lots of candidates. When you | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
get a job in the Premiership, say what you like about it, there will | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
be lots of candidates. Billy Davies was mentioned. It will appear that | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
they have not got him. They are taking a chance with whoever manager | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
they have got. It is a tough job. It has been a great weekend of cup | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
action. What has stood out the most? It has got to be that Linlithgow | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
goal. It was brilliant. It is definitely the goal of the round, | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
perhaps the goal of the tournament. It was a memorable run from | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
Linlithgow as well. What will you take away from this we can? East | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Kilbride played well, so there are lots of good memories from that. I | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
have just about thawed out from Tynecastle. The atmosphere is | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
exactly what you want in the Scottish Cup. It was mayhem. The | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
game was played at 100 miles an hour, there was so much excitement, | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
and the best bit, without a doubt, we get another one as well. Pat, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Steven, thank you. It has been another great weekend in the | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
Scottish Cup. It might not be high art, but when it comes to colour, | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
form and inspiration, it is certainly hard to beat. | :02:08. | :02:09. |
