It's been a stuttering start to the SPL season. The first three | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
weekends have featured six games, then five and now four. Two games | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
yesterday and two today. Action from all four coming up. And we'll | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
:00:37. | :01:05. | ||
hear from the manager of the league Motherwell manager Stuart McCall is | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
with us. Even three weeks into the season, title challengers Celtic | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
are playing catch-up after their Dublin city break last weekend. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Today they were at Pittodrie to play Aberdeen who had a hell of a | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
:01:25. | :01:42. | ||
time against Neil Lennon's team This club has never received a | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
:01:52. | :01:54. | ||
beating like this before. Double The Aberdeen and this is today had | :01:54. | :02:02. | |
to be on stopping Celtic from doing yet more damage. Rory McArdle | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
returned to the defence. Celtic had to make a couple of changes to | :02:06. | :02:16. | |
:02:16. | :02:25. | ||
their back line. 19-year-old Adam now. He is being asked to perform | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
:02:35. | :02:49. | ||
at a role that is pretty unfamiliar is a good tackle. Izaguirre landed | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
very awkwardly on that right ankle. His manager is concerned. He is | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
right up in the tunnel area as Izaguirre is stretchered off. Last | :03:01. | :03:10. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds | :03:11. | :04:20. | |
Lion's share of the possession. goalscorer last season. The going | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
:04:31. | :04:59. | ||
to come back at his Aberdeen in! -- for Scott Vernon! Celtic is | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
:05:09. | :05:31. | ||
Commons. This is Stokes. And at Celtic finally make the break | :05:31. | :05:41. | |
:05:41. | :05:44. | ||
through. Celtic took full advantage. Stokes is deadly from that kind of | :05:44. | :05:54. | |
:05:54. | :06:11. | ||
range. He may well have fired hands of Celtic last season. | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
Gonzalez didn't really get the power in he would have liked. Neil | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
Lennon knows he is not far away from Ace next will -- from a second | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
:06:34. | :07:02. | ||
He is desperate to get that title back. As you say, it was 75 minutes. | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Just the relief. But it was a good goal and as you say he is delighted | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
and rightly so. Mixed emotions for him this evening having lost a | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
Player of the Season in the last campaign, Izaguirre. Yes, so in | :07:20. | :07:29. | |
fortunate. -- unfortunate. An innocuous tackle. He knows he has | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
it insult. It is just the way he lands. It is a real bad one. It is | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
sickening for Celtic. They will struggle to get somebody as good as | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
him. Just a bad blow. That upsets things financially for him. He | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
would maybe have been looking to buy players in other positions and | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
suddenly he has to replace him. you say, it is not something you | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
want. He would probably have been looking at strengthening other | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
areas. Aberdeen pulling their hair out because they did the hard bit | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
in many ways and held out for the best part of 75 minutes, and then | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
Ricky Foster did this. To be fair, Commons did exceptionally well to | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
:08:29. | :08:33. | ||
make it. He finishes it well. He does complain to the referee a bit. | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
Commons pickpocketing. It is a lovely goal. Stokes has a great | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
scoring record. That is a great front partnership. When you had | :08:44. | :08:51. | |
Hooper and the midfield boys, they are a threat from every angle. | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
Worrying for Aberdeen fans, not many goals there. One we look back | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
over Aberdeen's first three games of the season, this is the closest | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
they came to scoring. Back off the post. They really don't look to | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
have a great deal of cutting edge at the moment. In fairness to them, | :09:08. | :09:17. | |
they have three or four key players missing. Maguire, they have lost | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
the goals and the creation in that Maguire. Vernon is doing his best. | :09:25. | :09:34. | |
Three games, no goals, it has to be a little concerned. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Who would have thought Dundee United against St Mirren would be a | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
top of the table tussle? Jonathan Sutherland can talk us through the | :09:40. | :09:50. | |
:09:50. | :09:56. | ||
happened to St Mirren? 1-0 last weekend against Aberdeen after | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
their first game draw with Dunfermline. Sadly, this game would | :10:03. | :10:13. | |
:10:13. | :10:14. | ||
begin in tragic fashion for Scott Severin. The diagnosis was | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
horrendous. No malice in the incident, but Scott Severin was | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
:10:29. | :10:34. | ||
stretchered away with a triple leg- break. And Neil Thompson scored his | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
first goal. Two players there who really epitomised the | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
transformation of the team in the last season. Dundee United just | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
didn't turn up in this -- in the first half. Hasselbaink was a | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
constant danger. This shot was just wide. Next, another moment to the | :10:58. | :11:08. | |
:11:08. | :11:10. | ||
get for the defender Keith Watson. A fresh shot with the goal gaping. | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
Overall, St Mirren were in charge in the first half. Paul McGann and | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
with this shot over the bar. Then again changing moment - an arm | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
lashed out by Hasselbaink made contact with pursuer Paul Dixon. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
The defender went down in a heap. The red card came out for | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Hasselbaink, prompting protests. The manager had to run onto the | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
pitch to help quell disorder. Into the second half, with an extra | :11:45. | :11:51. | |
advantage, Johnnie Russell did his best. His first effort was saved by | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
:12:01. | :12:02. | ||
some sun. His strike partner Jon Daly would also come close, but the | :12:02. | :12:11. | |
equaliser just did not come. Then in the 67th minute, the cutback was | :12:11. | :12:21. | |
:12:21. | :12:23. | ||
there. And there was Jon Daly on hand to grab the equaliser. United | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
manager after the game it describes his player's second half | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
performance as Money doesn't. 19- year-old Scot Alan looks like he | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
might have a big future after making his debut against Hearts. He | :12:37. | :12:47. | |
:12:47. | :12:58. | ||
almost conjured up a winner. It was St Mirren were outstanding for the | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
first half of the game. The turning point was Hasselbaink being sent | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
off. What did you think at the time? I couldn't see, I thought | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
Hasselbaink would get a penalty. It is really silly. He is a young boy, | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
20, he is in the clear. Normally when you find somebody of it is | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
when you are grappling with you, but he is allowed -- a yard ahead. | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
Now I have seen it again, I think the referee is spot-on. They will | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
miss him. Certainly, he created a goal, if he had another two | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
opportunities. Our defenders will be very pleased he is missing next | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
:13:51. | :13:57. | ||
week. MacGowan was excellent yesterday. Mixed emotions. Dundee | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
United threw everything at them in the second half and when they | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
scored early you expected them to win it. It has been difficult for | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
Dundee United, because they have lost so many good players, | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
Goodwillie, Conway, all automatic choices for them. Soak the pressure | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
is on Johnnie Russell and Scot Alan the 19-year-old making his second | :14:23. | :14:33. | |
:14:33. | :14:42. | ||
start. Johnnie Russell did well against us last season. And the 19- | :14:42. | :14:52. | |
:14:52. | :14:53. | ||
year-old, a fantastic bit of skill. Fair play to St Mirren for holding | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
on. A horrible moment was the injury to Scott Severin. It report | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
leg-break. He is 32, and you just hope he will come back from this. - | :15:06. | :15:15. | |
- 8 triple leg-break. Unfortunately for the kid, as you say, to have | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
your leg break in three places was horrendous. A committed tackle, | :15:21. | :15:31. | |
:15:31. | :15:31. | ||
they both went in for it. The boy will be out for a long time. | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
Mirren and Motherwell next weekend, sounds like that will be a good one. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
St Mirren really impressed. The Football yesterday was very good. | :15:43. | :15:50. | |
The sending of changed the game. I am sure the fans of St Mirren | :15:50. | :16:00. | |
:16:00. | :16:02. | ||
Inverness work goalless and pointless yesterday. The first game | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
of the SPL comeback. The first -- the last time they met | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
was four years ago. Richard Hastings equalised with a free kick. | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
The goalkeeper probably still has nightmares. McAllister was the | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
winner but the deflection had a fair bit to do with it. It was a | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
defeat which cent Dunfermline down to the First Division. The manager | :16:31. | :16:41. | |
:16:41. | :17:00. | ||
their first victory of the new season. That was almost a wonderful | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
start. How was that kept out?! Dunfermline are coming forward once | :17:08. | :17:18. | |
:17:18. | :17:55. | ||
otherwise we would have seen the opening goal. That was player three | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:38. | ||
Galahad. It was a nice height for Dunfermline have a deserved lead, | :18:38. | :18:48. | |
:18:48. | :19:06. | ||
of the second half for the visitors. Tansey made his own luck there. It | :19:07. | :19:16. | |
:19:17. | :19:31. | ||
just looked over and into the net. Dunfermline are back in front but | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
:19:41. | :20:13. | ||
where was the marking of the Caley would have to say so and the next | :20:13. | :20:23. | |
:20:23. | :20:31. | ||
argument was, was it over the line Caley Thistle although denied one | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
:20:41. | :21:02. | ||
Caley Thistle are certainly more in the game now than they ever have | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
:21:13. | :21:47. | ||
been. And incredibly, at Caley Hardy and he knows it. An injury- | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
:21:57. | :22:01. | ||
time equaliser for Dunfermline. The Sometimes, it must be difficult for | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
a manager to evaluate. Inverness were appalled but they were 3-2 up | :22:07. | :22:17. | |
:22:17. | :22:18. | ||
in the last minute. Yes, he has scored last week in the last minute. | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
It was deeply disappointing but Dunfermline apparently deserved it. | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
What the manager will be pleased about is that he looks to have | :22:28. | :22:35. | |
found a good goalscoring midfielder IND Tansey. You had delicate him as | :22:35. | :22:45. | |
:22:45. | :22:46. | ||
well, didn't she? Yes, we knew all about him. He did ever so well at | :22:46. | :22:54. | |
stop well last season. He got a lucky deflection but he has | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
terrific feet and is a good striker. He will be looking to get double | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
figures from the midfield. He tackles the ball well. He is brave | :23:04. | :23:13. | |
to? Yes, he was in there and he is a big as it. When Dunfermline got | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
the free kick in the 90th minute yesterday, I think John Macintyre | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
thought it was too far out. Martin Hardy thought otherwise and he was | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
right. Yes, with that opportunity, you would say that nine times out | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
of 10 you would be happy but it was a postage stamp goal. A tremendous | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
finish and a deserved point. It was good for Dunfermline yesterday, the | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
:23:52. | :23:52. | ||
performance, because I thought there was not much about them | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
yesterday -- before but yesterday it was encouraging. Fans pay to see | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
goals. And they were good goals as well. It is a building block and | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
:24:13. | :24:27. | ||
another point. They are unbeaten. It is cringing! A great little | :24:27. | :24:33. | |
header but there is no doubt he is of sight. But it is school Balkans | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
-- schoolboy stuff. You just want to get it on the scoresheet. I'm | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
sure the manager had a few words with him. Three goals yesterday, | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
they created a lot against Hibs and they had a good few chances at your | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
place? Yes, defensively the goal last week was a bit sloppy to give | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
it away. Maybe the keeper could have been slightly better but I | :25:04. | :25:12. | |
think he has been pleased with the attacking play. And the players | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
school -- school build score -- score goals midfield but | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
defensively they need to be better. Seven days is a long time at hearts | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
and it was Paulo Sergio who was the latest managerial hiring to follow | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
:25:38. | :26:12. | ||
the latest firing by the axeman, got on. Commentary from Paul | :26:12. | :26:22. | |

:27:17. | :27:17. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 69 seconds | :27:17. | :28:15. | |
a yellow card. The referee is quickly out with the card for the | :28:15. | :28:25. | |
:28:25. | :28:48. | ||
off his line. Randolph was alert. Ian Black has gone over the top. | :28:48. | :28:54. | |
O'Reilly didn't hesitate. Straight to the back pocket. It doesn't look | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
so bad from that angle but Ian Black is off. It looked hasty from | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
him. No chance to win the ball he just went over the top of the | :29:04. | :29:14. | |
:29:14. | :29:40. | ||
Sergio. A Jamie Murphy, and on the hour, Jamie Murphy gives them the | :29:41. | :29:50. | |
:29:51. | :29:52. | ||
lead. Great construction in the move. Lovely passing. Not the | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
greatest of first touch as but his persistence paid off. It is his | :29:56. | :30:05. | |
:30:06. | :30:26. | ||
first ever goal against Hearts, and Motherwell continued to have the | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
upper hand. Murphy trying to get outside, sliding in there. The ball | :30:32. | :30:42. | |
:30:42. | :31:02. | ||
ended by Keith lastly, this could be trouble! That means red. For the | :31:02. | :31:12. | |
:31:12. | :31:14. | ||
last five minutes of the game, the Top of the league and you can throw | :31:14. | :31:22. | |
the title away now. It has been a good start, nothing more. We have | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
got players that can consolidate going forward. A big turning point | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
in the game was the sending-off of being black. Television can tell a | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
different story sometimes, what did you think watching it back? | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
watched it again and I thought they would two committed players going | :31:42. | :31:51. | |
:31:52. | :31:53. | ||
for the ball. That was slightly behind. Dangerous though, wasn't | :31:53. | :32:02. | |
it? Yes, I think the referee got it right. That does not help hearts in | :32:02. | :32:10. | |
their discipline record. Murphy's Gold, obviously modesty forbids you | :32:10. | :32:20. | |
:32:20. | :32:20. | ||
from saying it you switch the players and sat at up. A good ball, | :32:20. | :32:30. | |
:32:30. | :32:30. | ||
a good forward run. A good, crisp pass across. Delighted for him and | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
everyone. I think the second half, it is not always easy. You have to | :32:36. | :32:43. | |
move the ball quickly. You went to disappointed to find out the | :32:43. | :32:49. | |
Hasselbaink is suspended. Not so pleased about the two yellows here | :32:49. | :32:55. | |
though. No, he got there as quick as he could but he was a split- | :32:55. | :32:59. | |
second late. It is a committed tackle again. Certainly it was | :32:59. | :33:09. | |
:33:09. | :33:11. | ||
yellow. This one, yes, no doubt it was a foul. Not every fowl is a | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
yellow card but I think the referee just about got it right. Two wins | :33:16. | :33:23. | |
and a draw. This was the opening weekend victim -- victory. Is there | :33:23. | :33:31. | |
a worry that the squad is then? yes, there certainly is. And the | :33:31. | :33:40. | |
window is closing in a couple of weeks. They are playing well, we | :33:40. | :33:44. | |
have young boys coming in. Naturally, like every manager, you | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
want more players and. Hopefully before the window closes we will | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
get one or two more. But we work with the budget like everybody does. | :33:53. | :33:58. | |
We have quality on the side, but depth is not as good as we would | :33:58. | :34:08. | |
:34:08. | :34:30. | ||
like. Let us have a look at the That's it for tonight. We'll have | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
highlights for you of Scotland's friendly against Denmark on | :34:33. | :34:36. | |
