11 places taken yesterday in the fifth round of the William Hill | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
Scottish Cup. Three ties went to a replay and today the Old Firm | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
entered the fray. Highlights coming up, plus the best bits from | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
Saturday's action. With me is the man who led hearts to the last 16 | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
and scored one of his rare goals. He says they are not so rare. Andy | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
Webster is with us. And so is the old trophy itself, which continues | :01:18. | :01:28. | |
:01:28. | :01:31. | ||
to conjure up magnificent memories. The oldest football trophy in the | :01:31. | :01:41. | |

I so far Sub has done it again. Secure seconds gone. Super Caley | :02:35. | :02:45. | |
:02:45. | :02:46. | ||
goal ballistic. A jury Britain. What a goal. Brian Laudrup, strike. | :02:46. | :02:56. | |
:02:56. | :02:58. | ||
The cup. The cup, the cup. Will you be owls again? Rangers have seen | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
their vital advantage over to a London last few weeks, so maybe the | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Scottish Cup took on added significance for Ally McCoist and | :03:07. | :03:17. | |

company as the match ended up the packed and ready to warn on to | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
Blackpool. All of a sudden he is needed by the SPL championships -- | :04:34. | :04:44. | |
:04:44. | :04:49. | ||
Champions and needs to start for the first in the season. A brief is | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
staging a fantastic atmosphere for this cup tie. Callum Morris As the | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
-- the whistle for the 12 Scottish Cup meeting between these clubs. | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
:05:08. | :05:34. | ||
third round tie against Highland John Fleck immediately involved. He | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
:05:44. | :05:54. | ||
over by David Healy. A chance inside 90 seconds for Rangers to | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
:06:04. | :06:05. | ||
settle the nerves. He has got to hit the target. Harris is on to it | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
:06:15. | :06:35. | ||
for the home side. It just slipped This was a good run by him. | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
Bocanegra slipped. Arbroath will take encouragement | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
from the fact that they have managed to get sight of the Rangers | :06:46. | :06:56. | |
:06:56. | :07:00. | ||
goal. Plenty waiting in the middle. He scuffed it. David Healy again. | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
:07:10. | :07:12. | ||
He got his first goal of the season last week against Motherwell. | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:29. | ||
Baxter's ball. That was a high boot. They certainly wanted to take a | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
:07:39. | :07:40. | ||
quick free kick. It might work out beneficially for Arbroath here. It | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
was tipped over by MacGregor. At great save! That has got the home | :07:46. | :07:56. | |
fans rocking. This was dipping underneath the crossbar. MacGregor | :07:56. | :08:06. | |
:08:06. | :08:10. | ||
had to backtrack to deal with it. It took a touch on the way through. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
MacGregor holds on this time. A couple of warnings for Rangers in | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
:08:24. | :08:35. | ||
the opening ten minutes of the game. Swankie onto it. He has won the | :08:35. | :08:45. | |
:08:45. | :08:53. | ||
has gone right across. One little touch in the six yard area and | :08:53. | :09:01. | |
Arbroath could have been 1-0 up. Did it come off the arm of the | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
:09:11. | :09:24. | ||
defender? There were arms up in protest. Wallace is on the left. He | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
:09:34. | :09:35. | ||
delayed and delayed. He will not be impressed with that. Healy is | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
onside and Rangers have the lead. David Healy will feel a lot better | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
about things now, having missed those two fantastic chances early | :09:45. | :09:55. | |
:09:55. | :09:56. | ||
on. He has two goals in a week. Arbroath will be devastated about | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
this, but Healy managed to give himself that extra yard in the box. | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
Fair play to the Irishman because he could so easily have buckled, | :10:09. | :10:19. | |
:10:19. | :10:38. | ||
having missed those chances earlier good stuff from Rangers. It is | :10:38. | :10:48. | |
:10:48. | :10:50. | ||
unknown goal. Rangers have a second. -- an own goal. It is always a | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
possibility. Suddenly Rangers are in a very dominant position in this | :10:55. | :11:05. | |
:11:05. | :11:11. | ||
Scottish Cup fourth round tie. Rangers are edging towards round | :11:11. | :11:21. | |
:11:21. | :11:29. | ||
five. There is a slight appeal by Arbroath for the challenge. Nothing | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
:11:39. | :12:15. | ||
his shot blocked. As this came into the penalty area it looked like | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
:12:25. | :12:43. | ||
left. Daran Hill makes the save. Good goalkeeping in the final | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
seconds of the first half. There were options to both sides. He took | :12:49. | :12:59. | |
:12:59. | :12:59. | ||
a crack at it himself. The champions of Scottish football's | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
:13:10. | :13:13. | ||
top tier leading the leaders of the bottom tier. The next goal in this | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
tie will be crucial. If Arbroath can score, doubts may well be | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
:13:32. | :13:33. | ||
pointed in -- plant it in the minds of Rangers. Fleck did not think he | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
:13:43. | :13:44. | ||
would get his head to that. He did eventually. He perhaps wasn't | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
expecting it till the last second. The 13th manager in the history of | :13:49. | :13:59. | |
:13:59. | :14:29. | ||
surely be the goal that takes Rangers into the fifth round draw. | :14:29. | :14:38. | |
Jelavic was the man who won the League Cup last season for Rangers. | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
Brilliantly done here. Great reverse pass for Jelavic. The | :14:46. | :14:53. | |
Croatian bangs home goal No. 15 of the season. Arbroath are about to | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
:15:04. | :15:04. | ||
make a change. They will be taking off Paul Sheerin. He will be | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
:15:14. | :15:36. | ||
cake here. And they have done! The forgotten man gets Rangers and | :15:36. | :15:45. | |
other goal. His first for the club. This adds the Gloucester the | :15:45. | :15:55. | |
:15:55. | :16:18. | ||
scoreline. -- the gloss to the McCoist will be delighted for | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
:16:28. | :16:55. | ||
fine now, after a nervous start to job at Arbroath. This is not the | :16:55. | :17:03. | |
yardstick that he or his team must be judged upon. Fleck sends it out | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
:17:13. | :17:13. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds | :17:13. | :17:55. | |
to the far side. A good change of the complete opposite of the goal | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:18. | ||
scored earlier. Malcolm left that, he got a shout from the keeper. | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
That is full-time. Ally McCoist and Rangers are through to tomorrow's | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
draw for the fifth round of the Scottish Cup. Hick finishes for | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
He will be disappointed that you have lost the match but you must be | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
proud of your players. After we went 2-0 down I thought there was a | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
bit of acceptance. We were disappointed at half-time. We | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
started well. They give their all. We pass better than that most weeks. | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
For some reason we forced it a lot today. They were far better than us | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
on the day. There were a couple of penalty shout -- penalty shouts as | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
well. Do you think there should have been one? I know about diving | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
in the game and such like but I think you have to be a bit more | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
cute. I do not understand why they don't give a foal. You cannot win | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
in these situations. How do you deal with the situation? You sweep | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
it under the carpet and get back to bread and butter. | :19:39. | :19:47. | |
Andy, who were you backing today? have always supported are brought. | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
It was great for the town to get a draw with Rangers. Are you | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
impressed by the way they have played? They have been great over | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
the last 12 months. I thought they may have given a better account of | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
themselves. David Healy got a goal on 70 minutes after he had missed a | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
couple. It happened on Monday against Motherwell at Ibrox. | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
think you can give him plenty of excuses for being rusty. He has not | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
had that many games. He is a natural goalscorer but you would | :20:24. | :20:34. | |
:20:34. | :20:37. | ||
not want to watch that one again tonight. Jelavic was involved in it, | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
as he was in just about everything today. The left full-back's offside | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
call was not his best moment. I thought it was a good game today. I | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
think a lot will be expected of David Healy this season. Rangers | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
will needs course. Paul's year and a bit disappointed in how Arbroath | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
played, and presumably disappointed that they did not take a couple of | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
decent early chances. This was Stephen Doris. Did he maybe get a | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
little bit of a excited? Possibly. He was possibly thinking about | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
passing. He does get his shot away eventually but it is under a bit of | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
pressure and he mute -- pulls it wide of the post. We actually | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
talked about it at the end of the programme last night - do not lose | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
an early goal. If you can possibly sneak in an early goal it lifts the | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
team and the fans. I think this is one of the most dangerous moments. | :21:41. | :21:47. | |
I do not think it is a penalty kick. That is a brilliant ball in, it can | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
go anywhere. Beeson defending by Rangers. There were moments early | :21:52. | :22:01. | |
on when they could have gone for it. -- decent defending. I think if | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
that was outside the box he would have got a free kick. | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
What did Jelavic contribute to the game? I thought he was the best | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
player on the park. He has quality. He has more than just about any | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
other player in Scottish football, I would argue, just now. Again, a | :22:28. | :22:37. | |
lovely ball back, perfectly weighted. How hard busy to defend | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
against? He is a class act. He has every attribute to be asked -- to | :22:43. | :22:52. | |
:22:53. | :22:55. | ||
be a top striker. He has got everything in the locker. It was | :22:55. | :23:03. | |
not his fault, the ball was half a yard behind him there. Everyone | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
says he has everything but pace but I do not hold with that. He leaves | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
the defenders for dead. He is quicker than most people give him | :23:11. | :23:21. | |
credit for. As I say, a top-class player. When he gets in on goal and | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
gets the chance as he often takes them. Would you expect Rangers to | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
sell them? I do not know. I think the manager will be desperate to | :23:28. | :23:35. | |
keep him. He will always be scoring goals. That was a great ball | :23:35. | :23:45. | |
:23:45. | :23:49. | ||
through. Kerkar Is a name that is is a name that has been around the | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
club for a while but the fans have not seen much of him. He gets in | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
the right position here. For a player who has been around for a | :24:02. | :24:12. | |
:24:12. | :24:15. | ||
period of time, especially a left- footed player, he can score some | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
goals. Is he a guy who was on the fringes | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
but we might see a bit more of just down to financial things? | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
I think that has been the case. He has shown he is more than capable | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
and it will give the manager food If you missed Scottish Cup Saturday | :24:37. | :24:45. | |
we will sort you out with the best bets, and it was torment for Talbot | :24:45. | :24:55. | |
:24:55. | :24:58. | ||
impossible for Auchinleck Talbot. They gave away an early penalty, | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
but Andy Leishman saved from Sabre Milan, setting the tone, and the | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
junior side held out that Tynecastle until six minutes from | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
:25:18. | :25:21. | ||
time. -- from Fraser Mullen. Down but not get out, Auchinleck Talbot | :25:21. | :25:31. | |
:25:31. | :25:32. | ||
were then denied an equaliser. And hearts survived. Back to the day | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
hearts survived. Back to the day jobs for Auchinleck. What is it | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
that you do as your job? I work for Scottish Power, digging holes in | :25:43. | :25:53. | |
:25:53. | :26:02. | ||
the roads in the freezing cold all United went 3-0 up through Johnny | :26:02. | :26:12. | |
:26:12. | :26:16. | ||
Russell, who also made it 4-L. -- 4-0. He completed his hat-trick as | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:26. | ||
the 2010 Cup winners ran out comfortable victors at the Exelsior | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
stadium. The 2010 Cup runners up, Ross County, gave Stenhousemuir the | :26:33. | :26:42. | |
runaround at Victoria Park. Michael carbine and Ian Vigers got the | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
:26:52. | :26:53. | ||
picker goals as Ross County Font Stenhousemuir 7-0. No shock from | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
the spiders, for the steel man. Motherwell's highly rated striker, | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
Jimmy Murphy with two goals at Boro Park as the SPL side ran out easy | :27:05. | :27:15. | |
:27:15. | :27:22. | ||
striker Peter MacDonald went down in the box under a challenge from | :27:22. | :27:31. | |
Grant Murray. MacDonald took the spot kick and two-one to Morton, is | :27:31. | :27:41. | |
:27:41. | :27:49. | ||
against East Fife. Moroccan striker El Alagui with his 21st goal of the | :27:49. | :27:57. | |
season and are 2-0 victory. St Mirren and Hamilton Academicals get | :27:57. | :28:07. | |
to do all over again. Lucky us. The game was one of the few dance of | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
game was one of the few dance of the day, in terms of entertainment. | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
Were you worried you would be heading for a replay yesterday? | :28:14. | :28:20. | |
having seen it replayed, it looks as if the guy was onside. But at | :28:20. | :28:27. | |
the time we thought it was offside. His positioning was spot on their | :28:27. | :28:32. | |
to play him on side. To give him his due, he has put in some | :28:32. | :28:39. | |
pressure on the officials. I don't think there is an argument. It was | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
onside. You can see the players. There is the line. He has half a | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
yard inside the box. You feel sorry for Auchinleck because they worked | :28:51. | :28:55. | |
hard and held their line well, but Hearts had most of the plea and it | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
took a fantastic goalkeeping display to keep Auchinleck in the | :28:57. | :29:06. | |
game but they can be proud of themselves. How are things at | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
Hearts at the moment? Do we make too much of it? From the point of | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
view of the boys were just. -- concentrating on the football side | :29:14. | :29:17. | |
of things and we have turned the corner in terms of results and | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
performances. We will be looking to maintain that from now on. Good | :29:22. | :29:32. | |
:29:32. | :29:34. | ||
answer! Maybe one of the best goals was from Ross County and Ian Vigers. | :29:34. | :29:40. | |
He has used the wind, and Bent that in. I think he is going for goal. | :29:40. | :29:48. | |
That is fantastic. That would be my high won by his creeping in! Do you | :29:48. | :29:55. | |
think he took that well? Yes, absolutely. And some big teams will | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
be keen to avoid Ross County in the next round. It is not long since | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
Celtic manager Neil Lennon was teetering on the brink. Now he | :30:02. | :30:07. | |
could be on the brink of a treble. Celtic, like Rangers, went to the | :30:07. | :30:13. | |
seaside, with a trip to First Division Peterhead. Celtic are the | :30:13. | :30:19. | |
Scottish Cup holders, having beaten Motherwell in last year's final. A | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
Scottish Cup draw and Paisley for Peter Head last season although | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
they lost the replay. Highlights from the Balmore Stadium with Paul | :30:27. | :30:37. | |
:30:37. | :30:46. | ||
Inverurie Locos have rewarded Peder head with a tie against the | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
Scottish Cup holders Celtic. It is the biggest game that the Blue Toon | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
have ever played and our fans are coming in good numbers to support | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
them as they acceded Division Three side ought to topple their SPL | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
leaders. Jim McInally names an unchanged side from the team that | :31:03. | :31:10. | |
beat Elgin City last time out. Paul Jarvie keeps his place in goal. And | :31:10. | :31:16. | |
look out for rural McAllister up front to try and supply the goals. | :31:16. | :31:23. | |
-- for Rory McAllister. It is a tough start of the season or Lucasz | :31:24. | :31:32. | |
Zaluska. Kelvin Wilson gets his first start. And there is a first | :31:32. | :31:42. | |
:31:42. | :31:51. | ||
in this match, Celtic's skipper. The Scottish Cup tie gets under way | :31:51. | :32:01. | |
:32:01. | :32:23. | ||
Kelvyn wasn't spread himself well. Scott Brown ones that into trouble, | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
role in a callous surprise the shot. And they Ross was moving through | :32:27. | :32:37. | |
:32:37. | :32:37. | ||
quickly. -- Rory McAllister tries the shot. That was good play from | :32:37. | :32:47. | |
:32:47. | :33:01. | ||
David Ross. Lucasz Zaluska was very games in the SPL. They have won 10 | :33:02. | :33:10. | |
straight-games. Celtic's first meaningful efforts at goal comes | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
after 26 minutes, and that is scooped over by Antony Stokes. Back | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
on scoring form against Dunfermline last weekend. And he lifted that | :33:19. | :33:29. | |
:33:29. | :34:03. | ||
box, Ki Sung Yeung has a big and rattles the bar. It comes back out | :34:03. | :34:13. | |
:34:13. | :34:22. | ||
further than he shot that from, it really rattled that. Paul Jaidi was | :34:22. | :34:32. | |
:34:32. | :34:33. | ||
not sure where this one had gone. - - Jarvie. Good control and | :34:33. | :34:43. | |
:34:43. | :35:09. | ||
Stokes gathers it well. And that is McCourt. He thinks it to the back | :35:09. | :35:15. | |

Samaras is in the end MacDonald, and the ball across, and it is an | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
easy goal for Antony Stokes, and Celtic have a great throw 10 | :37:30. | :37:40. | |
:37:40. | :37:41. | ||
minutes from half-time. -- have a break through. Very simple goal. | :37:41. | :37:46. | |

it was simple for stocks. -- Stokes. Antony Stokes slices the ball home. | :38:00. | :38:10. | |

another good challenge from Graeme Sharp, although he loses out to Cha | :38:15. | :38:25. | |
:38:25. | :38:47. | ||
target, but a lovely idea from Dunfermline last weekend. Walter | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
and McAllister are coming together. Now, Celtic can break quickly. | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
Peterhead had committed many players fought for the supply. | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
Samaras has got the pace to beat them, says it across, and very | :39:00. | :39:10. | |
:39:10. | :39:12. | ||
simply done for Stokes, who is judged or site. The flag of Gordon | :39:12. | :39:19. | |
Middleton denies Antony Stokes. Samaras always in control of the | :39:19. | :39:27. | |
situation. There is certainly not much in it from that angle. You can | :39:27. | :39:36. | |
see the light has sending its message across, you at Peterhead. - | :39:36. | :39:45. | |

Antony Stokes! Izaguirre thought he had passed it behind him, but | :41:07. | :41:17. | |
:41:17. | :41:18. | ||
Antony Stokes turned round and dispatched it past Paul Jarvis. -- | :41:18. | :41:24. | |
Jarvie. The goalkeeper had absolutely no chance as that | :41:24. | :41:31. | |
Whitehall's its way into the corner. And Celtic are in control of this | :41:31. | :41:40. | |
tie. Great right-foot finish. You do for skyline behind those Celtic | :41:40. | :41:50. | |

today, but Going on the attack. Antony Stokes cuts across, | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
deflected onto Scott Brown, and another corner kick to Celtic. The | :43:33. | :43:38. | |
captain, the to find the score sheet this season. Antony Stokes | :43:38. | :43:48. | |

:44:11. | :44:25. | ||
Scott Brown. This for the hat-trick. It is a mistake from the goalkeeper | :44:25. | :44:35. | |
:44:35. | :44:39. | ||
at but stocks will accepted all the same. -- but Stokes. | :44:39. | :44:45. | |
Lovely play by the substitute, just on the field. The goalkeeper will | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
know that he should have saved us. It is a hat-trick for Anthony | :44:48. | :44:56. | |
Stokes and Celtic are safely through. That will be a positive | :44:56. | :45:06. | |
:45:06. | :45:31. | ||
set. Celtic's second hat-trick of the season. Gary Cooper had one in | :45:31. | :45:40. | |
the 5-0 match against St Mirren. Alan Mack Na Li's side never gave | :45:40. | :45:46. | |
up. It is Celtic who will go through into Monday's door off. The | :45:46. | :45:56. | |
:45:56. | :46:00. | ||
We passed the ball really well. We have come through the game | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
relatively unscathed, so I am delighted with it. The important | :46:04. | :46:11. | |
thing is we're in the draw tomorrow. We never gave up. I am disappointed | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
we never had more attempts at goal. You work hard to get them and | :46:16. | :46:23. | |
sometimes when you get them you do not have the legs. They put a lot | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
of endeavour into the first half. We took control of the game and it | :46:29. | :46:35. | |
was a good result for us. It was top of the SPL again second | :46:35. | :46:41. | |
bottom of the First Division. Was that a good match? So Celtic looked | :46:41. | :46:51. | |
:46:51. | :46:56. | ||
dominant. Peterhead looked dog- eared. -- dogged. | :46:56. | :47:03. | |
For Peterhead it was about getting in Celtic's face. Yes. They worked | :47:03. | :47:11. | |
in Celtic's face. Yes. They worked very very hard. They are closed | :47:11. | :47:20. | |
down all the time. Jim said to his players before the game, do not | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
give Celtic players time and space. If you do, they will take you apart. | :47:24. | :47:32. | |
Their difficulty is doing that for 90 minutes. They did eventually get | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
tired. The space then opens and people will take advantage of it. | :47:36. | :47:44. | |
It was a surprise to find out that that was Anthony Stokes' first | :47:44. | :47:50. | |
goals in the Scottish Cup for Celtic. He is a fantastic finisher. | :47:50. | :48:00. | |
There was a great ball forward from Paddy McCourt. It was an easy tap- | :48:00. | :48:09. | |
in but that is what strikers do. The next time Anthony Stokes had | :48:09. | :48:17. | |
the ball on the neck... They have a good understanding | :48:17. | :48:23. | |
between each other. The linesman was in a good position to judge | :48:23. | :48:29. | |
whether that won was offside, but that is the great thing, Samaras is | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
working very well with Anthony Stokes. It is great for Neil Lennon | :48:33. | :48:43. | |
Anthony Stokes and Hooper are very different strikers. What does | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
Hooper have? He is good at getting shot away when he gets the chances. | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
You can see that throughout the match. He is always looking to have | :48:52. | :48:59. | |
a strike at goal. He hit this one back across to the far post with | :48:59. | :49:03. | |
power and the goalkeeper has no chance of saving it. That is the | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
thing, the power. How does he develop the power from that body | :49:07. | :49:13. | |
position? It is absolutely fantastic. He is a natural striker. | :49:13. | :49:18. | |
Every time he shoots he is generally on-target. He sometimes | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
takes things on from which he will never score, but over the PC will | :49:22. | :49:32. | |
:49:32. | :49:34. | ||
find the net regularly. That is 15 for the season. Yes, here is on the | :49:34. | :49:41. | |
dot is to get a strike on goal. There were all sorts of questions | :49:41. | :49:48. | |
about Neil Lennon's future in October. So different now. | :49:49. | :49:57. | |
almost could not see him coming back. He has lots of players | :49:57. | :50:07. | |
injured. They looked very powerful today. Celtic's technique was good | :50:07. | :50:17. | |
:50:17. | :50:18. | ||
but Peter Head were completely out power would today.,, we start with | :50:18. | :50:22. | |
a game that everyone thought had a game that everyone thought had | :50:22. | :50:32. | |
:50:32. | :51:01. | ||
character with shots from Leigh also crucial from David Wotherspoon. | :51:01. | :51:09. | |
-- could be so crucial. For that is a brilliant goal. That is one of | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
the best strikes you will see in the season. | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
A great goal from John Robertson, and he would get the chance to | :51:17. | :51:27. | |
:51:27. | :51:40. | ||
force the replay for Cowdenbeath. Steven Milne put the ball in the | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
net for the first is that -- First Division side but it was ruled | :51:43. | :51:52. | |
offside. The keep a did not get there and it is man well Pascali, | :51:52. | :52:00. | |
always around in the box, who suckers Dundee here. But the dark | :52:00. | :52:10. | |
:52:10. | :52:14. | ||
Blues would fight back. It is in! What a start to the second half! | :52:14. | :52:20. | |
And when Ryan Conroy was pushed in the box... Matthew Lockwood had the | :52:21. | :52:30. | |
:52:31. | :52:32. | ||
chance to win the match, but the keeper stop that. | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
A potential banana-skin for Aberdeen at Forfar, but something | :52:36. | :52:43. | |
of a banana shot settled any nerves that the SPL side have like -- | :52:43. | :52:53. | |
:52:53. | :52:55. | ||
might have had. Aberdeen got a comfortable win in the end over | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
Forfar. Time for some more juicy Scottish | :53:01. | :53:10. | |
Cup blunders. Inverness goalkeeper had this unfortunate error. Andy | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
Kirk was then brought down and the Inverness defender was sent off by | :53:13. | :53:22. | |
the referee. From Martin Hardy's free kick, the keeper would make | :53:23. | :53:28. | |
the save. And the barman was on hand to score after half an hour. - | :53:28. | :53:38. | |
:53:38. | :53:42. | ||
- Andy Barrowman. Chris Smith, with an absolute beauty. Johnny Hayes | :53:42. | :53:52. | |
:53:52. | :54:00. | ||
Livingstone and tier united when my, going conjured up just enough magic | :54:00. | :54:10. | |
to score a superb Saulo goal and when the match foray a United 2-1. | :54:10. | :54:20. | |
:54:20. | :54:39. | ||
-- solo goal and win the match for minute to see off Partick Thistle. | :54:39. | :54:48. | |
Danny Carmichael got the all- It has been a Scottish Cup of no | :54:48. | :54:56. | |
shocks so far. Apart from Cowdenbeath. This shot brought the | :54:56. | :55:06. | |
:55:06. | :55:06. | ||
game to life. Yes, it is a great finish. It was the ext any -- | :55:06. | :55:16. | |
:55:16. | :55:17. | ||
ecstasy and the agony. It was one of those whens where he will be | :55:17. | :55:27. | |
thinking not about the goal. You can watch that as many times as you | :55:27. | :55:33. | |
like. Brilliant goal, useless celebration! There are all sorts of | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
things that he can do but the number one thing is to get it on | :55:37. | :55:43. | |
target. It is a lovely ball through. Great vision. They can be very | :55:43. | :55:45. | |
proud of themselves for the entirety of the game. They worked | :55:45. | :55:51. | |
hard. They were 3-1 down and came right back into it. And you like | :55:51. | :55:56. | |
The, Gavin goal, didn't you? Out on the right wing here, a little bit | :55:56. | :56:00. | |
of skill, twisting and turning. Obviously, you want to turn the | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
full-back a little bit. He has twisted and turned to back a three | :56:04. | :56:14. | |
:56:14. | :56:18. | ||
times. That was a fantastic goal. Does that reopen an old wind with | :56:18. | :56:28. | |
:56:28. | :56:30. | ||
Ayr United? I think it was... having a look at the altar of the, | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
you lifted it up two seasons ago as a Dundee United player. That must | :56:33. | :56:36. | |
have been special. It was a great feeling for everybody concerned. A | :56:36. | :56:40. | |
lot of hard work went into that season. The boys did exceptionally | :56:40. | :56:45. | |
well. We had a very good team at the time. Yes, it was an amazing | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
feeling to win the Cup. Could you have your hands on it again twice | :56:49. | :56:57. | |
in three seasons with two different teams? Absolutely. You are always | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
looking for a good Cup run. Hopefully we will get another one | :57:01. | :57:11. | |
:57:11. | :57:16. | ||
going this season. The draw is tomorrow. What do you | :57:16. | :57:23. | |
fancy? Just watching the FA Cup today, Manchester United have got | :57:23. | :57:27. | |
Liverpool again. Maybe this is the year of where the big boys get | :57:27. | :57:31. | |
drawn against each other early on. I do not know if you want Celtic | :57:31. | :57:35. | |
against Rangers. If you are a fan of any other club but those you | :57:36. | :57:38. | |
want it because it opens at the competition. You never know what is | :57:38. | :57:46. | |
going to happen with that but, as usual, I think that will be the one | :57:46. | :57:53. | |
that you will get most surprises with. All of the First Division | :57:53. | :57:56. | |
teams are in and that makes a big difference, especially if you get | :57:56. | :58:01. | |
them away from home. Who do you want tomorrow? Anybody at home. I | :58:01. | :58:06. | |
think we would be more unhappy with that. | :58:06. | :58:11. | |
Let us remind ourselves who is there tomorrow for the draw for the | :58:11. | :58:21. | |
:58:21. | :58:35. | ||
The replays and a week on Tuesday. Back To SPL Football -- the replays | :58:35. | :58:42. | |
are a week on Tuesday. I will be back at 10 up at -- 10:00pm next | :58:42. | :58:46. |
