good evening. Plenty goals, a staggering array of home-grown | :00:57. | :01:06. | |
talent and all the drama and intrigue of the Scottish | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
Premiership. What more could you want? How about two outspoken | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
scholars of the Scottish game? The action in a moment. Following the | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
death of Nelson Mandela Scottish football played tribute with | :01:21. | :01:35. | |
applause before every SPL match. -- age tribute. | :01:36. | :01:47. | |
The future is bright. The future is tangerine. A clean sweep of monthly | :01:48. | :01:57. | |
awards went to them the United. Jackie McNamara the manager of the | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
month. Andrew Robertson the player of the month and the young player of | :02:01. | :02:13. | |
the month was the ears as well. -- there's. | :02:14. | :02:29. | |
Dundee United bring back Sean Dillon in place of the injured defender. | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
Brian Graham reads the United attack. Only one change to the | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
Hearts team which was dumped by Celtic. | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
Back to goal. A great effort from the mid fielder. Jamie MacDonald | :02:53. | :03:10. | |
alert to the threat posed the year. Robertson. The made by Armstrong. | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
Mackay-Steven. A lofted ball. Looking for Armstrong. The ball is | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
in the net. Armstrong is claiming it. Brian Graham was in the on the | :03:24. | :03:35. | |
goal-line. Armstrong getting the credit. Hearts looking for the | :03:36. | :03:49. | |
equaliser. Here is Walker. That is a trip and the penalty says the | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
referee. Mark Wilson is the offender. Just inside be the. -- the | :03:55. | :04:08. | |
area. A fine penalty from the Hearts midfielder. The keeper guessed the | :04:09. | :04:22. | |
wrong way. The big striker has got the chance. And it was the wasted | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
opportunity. The goal was gaping. He was trying for the top corner. | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
Payton. Here is Rankin. We can strike them. Jamie MacDonald knows | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
how to save them to. A fine stop from the Hearts goalkeeper. The | :04:48. | :05:04. | |
corner. Liam. 2-1 to Dundee United. The big striker claims his third | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
goal of the season. Hearts are concerned and claiming that Callum | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Paterson was impeded as he tried to Mark Gilliam. Walker. He has gone | :05:16. | :05:26. | |
down, he is looking for the free kick. Thompson is bringing out a | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
yellow card for diving. I thought he was impeded by Mark Wilson. Here is | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
a pattern. Cutting it back. Armstrong! A good stop again. | :05:43. | :05:52. | |
Mackay-Steven. Gold. Mackay-Steven again. Terrific finishing their by | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
the man they call GM S. United have their third goal. Gary Mackay-Steven | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
claims his fourth in three games that takes his total to six for the | :06:11. | :06:21. | |
season. Thomas getting it wide. Here is Armstrong and Goodwillie. Another | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
fine stop by MacDonald. United could have been talking up the goals if it | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
had not been for the Hearts goalkeeper on fine form. The corner. | :06:33. | :06:47. | |
Cleared only as far as Rankin. It has taken a deflection and it is | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
into the net. Rankin looking to claim that one. Two minutes into | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
stoppage time. United score four goals in four successive matches. | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
With the aid of that deflection. It was an even game. I thought we | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
supplied -- applied ourselves very well. It was a big decision for that | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
goal but I do not want to see too much about it. I would have to see | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
it again but we felt it was a foul. The first game was crucial. We | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
regrouped at half-time and we kept forcing and we got our just rewards. | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
Perhaps not quite at the best yesterday. 17 goals in the last four | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
games. We will look at it again in a moment but this exemplifies the move | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
about how Dundee United play, does it not? Great creativity from the | :07:52. | :08:01. | |
front four. I do not think the full-back is strong enough but | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
lovely deft touch by Armstrong. I think it was definitely going in so | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
I would give the gold to Armstrong. It is just the movement that makes | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
it very difficult for Hearts to defend the box. Despite the form we | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
saw yesterday, it was at something of a knife age at 1-1. The guys were | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
very unhappy about the second Dundee United goal, what do you think? It | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
is a training ground move. That is why he is so delighted with it. When | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
you see it from here, there is space for Callum Paterson. When he is | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
touched tight to Graham that is marking he can get around that and | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
see what is happening. It is definitely a free kick but Callum | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Paterson could have been cuter and got away with it. Five minutes later | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
Gary Mackay-Steven tells of the match essentially. You will be | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
worries about the January transfer window, weren't there? Some well | :09:13. | :09:21. | |
have potential suitors. They have done everything they can in terms of | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
tying these guys up in long contracts. They will want to stay, | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
they are doing great things this season. I do not think they have a | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
lot to worry about in January. The end of season might be different. | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
And you think they will stay at Dundee United for the foreseeable | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
future? It is a fantastic team. I think I agreed that they will stay | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
together for this season. We shall see. Aberdeen could be one of the | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
sites competing come the end of the season. Derek McInnes took his side | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
to face St Johnstone. Commentary comes from Paul Mitchell. Of sides | :10:12. | :10:21. | |
safely negotiated the opening matches of the cup last weekend. Two | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
changes for Aberdeen who have lost their last two in the league. Vernon | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
to start. Good attacking play from the dons. | :10:30. | :10:56. | |
Vernon, returning into the path of Peter Pawlett, just drag it wide. | :10:57. | :11:11. | |
Peter Pawlett! He drills at low into the corner. Robson started the move, | :11:12. | :11:23. | |
he won the ball, burning inside to Paulette, he pointed that into the | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
corner. Aberdeen made them pay, the first meeting of the season between | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
these two was goalless. Aberdeen are leading after 17 here. | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
Great save from Jamie Lingfield. He is in such great form. Hasselbaink | :11:48. | :11:54. | |
played it through, good control. It was Johnny Hayes coming in, there | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
are four referee was well placed. It is turned behind. Good attacking | :12:01. | :12:39. | |
play again from Aberdeen. A decent stop by the goalkeeper. Nigel | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
Hasselbaink has run his race, he will be replaced by Rory Fallon. Two | :12:47. | :12:54. | |
legends in the stand, Sir Alex Ferguson among them. | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
The referee has brought it to a halt. Rory Fallon is in trouble! He | :13:03. | :13:13. | |
is fixed back -- he is off! He swung the second time and that is a | :13:14. | :13:20. | |
straight red card. Rory Fallon, sent off twice in his Aberdeen career, | :13:21. | :13:24. | |
sent off for the first time as the Saints player. | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
Aberdeen continuing to push for a second goal. | :13:34. | :13:44. | |
That is a great throw from Lingfield. Derek McInnes, urging his | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
men forward. He went for the top corner and found | :13:50. | :14:03. | |
it! What a goal! Five goals in his last five games for McGinn. That is | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
surely the pick of the bunch. That's a wonderful finish. The keeper had | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
no chance. It's always difficult coming here, | :14:15. | :14:26. | |
they had only lost four goals here in the league previously, they fight | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
really hard for every inch on the pitch. I don't think there was a lot | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
in it. The sending-off kills us, really, there was no way back | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
against a side like Aberdeen. Last 20 minutes, we really had a go. | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
Unfortunately Rory got sent off and kills it force. Less than a minute | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
on the pitch! Kenny have any complaint? Not really. When you see | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
the replay, you can't even use the excuse that he didn't like the guy, | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
because he wasn't there. Once he gets the red card, he's almost | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
resigned. That's a definite red card. Why does he do it? He doesn't | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
know him, so he can't use the excuse he doesn't like him! I don't know | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
whether he has been hit for he throws his arm back, it was a | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
strange one. A good result for Aberdeen. 2-0 at McDonell at Park. A | :15:29. | :15:36. | |
great goal, picking the ball up in his own half. A great throw from the | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
keeper to set him free, it looks like he will head for the corner | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
flag and run the clock down. Not a lot of traffic is why, to be fair. | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
That is proper postal stamp stuff. Interesting that all of last season, | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
McGinn was playing as an number nine and scored a lot of goals, this | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
season he has been playing wide right or wide left but is still | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
banging in the goals. As long as he keeps doing that, Aberdeen will be | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
challenging. Inverness are currently second, we have just seen Dundee | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
United, can you see them both during the second? Obviously John Hughes | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
will have his work cut out trying keep the team up there, but I think | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
both those teams will be the two teams who would be fighting it out | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
for that second place, they have scored. Really good teams to watch | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
as well. For those sets of fans, they have for a number of years not | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
challenge for the top, second or third position in the league, and | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
for Aberdeen, it has been a long time coming. That is the talk about | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
second place, of course. But the Champions' League shaped elephant is | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
Celtic, financially superior to all the rest. On the field, it has been | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
the same, rampant last week as they tore Hearts to shreds in this | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
gorgeous cup. On Friday night, they pitched up at Motherwell. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
Stuart McCall is keen to bounce back from a shocker on the road against | :17:17. | :17:25. | |
Albion Rovers. He has dropped McFadden. Nir Biton has a virus, so | :17:26. | :17:40. | |
he drops. The champions's last defeat came here in April. They were | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
so convincing against Hearts on Sunday and they will want to start | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
like they mean business again. Celtic, unbeaten in the league this | :17:49. | :18:03. | |
season, their best start in a decade. | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
There was a shout for handball against Hammill. The referee is not | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
interested in it. Celtic looked to have been denied a spot kick. | :18:20. | :18:31. | |
The hat-trick hero from Sunday 's at it again. And Celtic lead in | :18:32. | :18:48. | |
Lanarkshire. He didn't know much about it, but what good reaction he | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
showed to backheel this into a goal and at half-time, Celtic lead. | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
It is Ambrose! And its 2-0! And here come the somersaults! Ambrose, with | :19:03. | :19:17. | |
his second of the season. Celtic's second of the evening, it looks like | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
they are going to be taking all three points already. It's a lot | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
colder than the supporters are suggesting it is, I can assure you! | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Celtic lost twice here last season, showing no signs of that tonight. | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
He's just getting no luck in front of goal, Pukki. Albeit Cummings did | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
get something on it. Player went to ground, he's going to | :19:52. | :20:09. | |
get booked for diving! -- Pukki went to ground. He have to say, that | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
looks like it should have been awarded. | :20:14. | :20:20. | |
Motherwell just can't get out, Celtic have been sipping the ball | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
about as they did in the 7-0 win against Hearts. Commons! He gets his | :20:26. | :20:37. | |
second. What a run he has been on me scored twice against Aberdeen | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
recently, three times against Hearts, and now twice against | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
Motherwell. 13th of the season for Kris Commons. | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
Stokes! Anthony Stokes ends his goal drought. Without a goal since the | :20:53. | :21:06. | |
last meeting between the teams. Way back at the start of October. Stokes | :21:07. | :21:13. | |
makes it Motherwell zero, Celtic four. The goal he craved, he gets it | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
finally. Celtic go to Barcelona on Tuesday | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
morning for the match on Wednesday night, that will complete their | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
European campaign, that has been a disappointment. Good effort from the | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Dutchman, a tight angle. What a way to score your first goal | :21:35. | :21:54. | |
for the club! First senior goal for the sweet, I take each. That is a | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Jurassic finish. We were up against a really good | :21:59. | :22:10. | |
side tonight, but there are things we could do better, no doubt about | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
that. Obviously, you don't want to get beat at home like that, but | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
there is a really is that we have three or four games coming up, we | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
need to hit top form and hopefully things will go right for us. We have | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
really hit a groove, some of the players are probably in the best | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
form they have been in quite awhile and its apparent in their displays. | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
Coming here and scoring five goals and playing the football we played, | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
the control and intensity, it's very pleasing. | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
Some fantastic football from Celtic why are they playing so well? Could | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
Motherwell have done anything different to stop them? I think the | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
problem with Motherwell is they have come up against a Celtic team that | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
has so many players interchanging positions, it's difficult for them | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
to pin them down. Pukki is on the right, he gives Hutchinson a | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
problem, who is coming across, I think he should go more towards the | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
goal rather than cutting across. The big problem with Motherwell is that | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
Celtic are on top form. It's too high a line. The defensive line is a | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
problem. When you have guys like Mulgrew, stokes, who can pick out | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
passes like this, it is impossible for the keeper, he has two Celtic | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
players advancing on him. Celtic have a great cutting edge but teams | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
like Hearts and Motherwell are not helping themselves at all. You were | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
at Tynecastle last weekend when Hearts were hammered. There seems to | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
have been a fantastic reaction from Neil Lennon's side since the | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
disappointment of the Milan game. That was an example of the | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
interchanging of positions, the stick is inside the 18 yard box. -- | :24:13. | :24:21. | |
mistake. It was a great response from Celtic, the Scottish cup is a | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
big tournament for them. If it was only the league for them it would be | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
disappointing, so the cup comes important. Disappointing scenes at | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
Fir Park on Friday night as well, smoke bombs, flares, the Green | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
Brigade tonight excepting some of the responsibility although | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
insisting them of their members were involved. The damage you see at Fir | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
Park, it's disgusting to see. It's terrible, it's an unnecessary thing | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
and it puts Neil Lennon and the Celtic board in a difficult position | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
because they can't defend the action but it's difficult for them to | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
control it as the board of state. It's a small minority, but it images | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
the repetition of the club and we don't want to see that, we want to | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
see people coming to football without having their concern is the | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
safety -- damages the reputation of the club. We want to see an | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
atmosphere Scottish games, but it can't be done in the way that is | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
destructive. Of course, as Archie says, you want the guys to go there, | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
everybody to turn up and enjoy it, not get Court in poor incidents like | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
that especially when the seats have been destroyed. That is just | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
vandalism. Ross County were looking for positivity after four defeat | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
from five games, out of the Scottish cup as well. Despite zero goals as | :25:50. | :25:57. | |
well, they stick with their strikers upfront. A few changes to the | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
defence for colour monitor. -- Kilmarnock. You have to go back to | :26:06. | :26:18. | |
made to find Kilmarnock's last victory on the road, but they got | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
off to the perfect start. Johnson got the opener from eight yards out. | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
Kris Boyd was the provider. Questions to be asked about the | :26:29. | :26:41. | |
defence. This shot was saved by Samsung, however, Kettlewell was at | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
hand to hammer the rebound into the back of the net. | :26:46. | :26:56. | |
The finish from Kettlewell. And the home side almost took the read a few | :26:57. | :27:13. | |
minutes later. -- the lead. The return to form of Kris Boyd has | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
brought him back into the plans of the Scotland boss. If he continues | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
to score goals like this it can only be good for club and country. Still, | :27:23. | :27:29. | |
plenty to do for Boyd. The majestic finish from the Kelly hit man. -- | :27:30. | :27:40. | |
Kilmarnock hit man. This effort rattled back of the underside of the | :27:41. | :27:52. | |
crossbar. Slater was next to try his luck for calm armour. The ball into | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
the six yard box, his effort from close range eventually cleared by | :27:59. | :28:06. | |
the home defence. The ball ricocheted off two players before | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
the danger was cleared. Kris Boyd collected this path from the | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
substitute with the ball coming back of the base of the post. Dalmarnock | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
heading south with all three points as Ross County's poor run of form | :28:25. | :28:35. | |
continues. We started the season well and we know we have | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
overachieved. This season was always going to be survival for a club of | :28:42. | :28:47. | |
this ties but we will keep working away to find that positive result. | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
With Kris Boyd upfront you are always likely to get goals. Young | :28:53. | :28:59. | |
Johnson has come into the team and he has been really positive. He | :29:00. | :29:06. | |
likes to take people on. He is just a top player. Kris Boyd with the | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
winner, his seventh goal of the season. How do you see his role at | :29:13. | :29:19. | |
Kilmarnock? He is a leader for them. This has not changed, it is | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
fantastic, instinct. You can see in the replay, he knows instinctively | :29:26. | :29:31. | |
the goalkeeper is of his line. His role within the team, he has | :29:32. | :29:39. | |
mature. A significant away when for calm armour. -- win. It is great to | :29:40. | :29:54. | |
see players like there's coming through the youth ranks. He gives | :29:55. | :30:04. | |
them a cutting-edge and they do need that because you cannot rely on one | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
player to the extent that Kilmarnock have with Kris Boyd. Chris Johnston, | :30:09. | :30:21. | |
he is doing very well. It is not going so well for Ross County at the | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
moment, they cannot get the win at all. We do you see that going at the | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
moment? You'll macro it is a tough one. You have heard how they have | :30:32. | :30:38. | |
over achieved for a number of years. That is the perils of management. | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
You set the bar high. They are not reaching those same standards. He is | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
trying to find the right formula but it is not working. He has a big gap | :30:51. | :30:56. | |
between himself and Hearts but he will be worried about the position | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
they are in at the moment. Plenty more to come. You can see extended | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
highlights of all the Premiership games on the BBC sport website. | :31:07. | :31:16. | |
Terry Butcher made his home debut at Hibernian. | :31:17. | :31:40. | |
Gary Fraser is banned. Stevenson took her knee. A bit of room up | :31:41. | :31:53. | |
against Dylan. He goes for all and nearly finds it. You think he would | :31:54. | :32:02. | |
have been expecting the cross but Tierney went for the call. -- goal. | :32:03. | :32:21. | |
Higginbotham up against me Billy. A powerful shot pushed away by Ben | :32:22. | :32:30. | |
Williams. -- Mayberry. Promising stuff from Thistle. Higginbotham | :32:31. | :32:39. | |
looks bright in the early stages. He is getting Mayberry a few problems. | :32:40. | :32:49. | |
Higginbotham still has it. Elliott, Doolan, just wide but the flag was | :32:50. | :32:57. | |
up for offside. Another real threat to the Hibernian defence. That is | :32:58. | :33:15. | |
back for McGivern. He tried his luck from some considerable distance. | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
That looked net bound but for the hand of the goalkeeper. Stevenson. | :33:21. | :33:35. | |
Jones. The keeper blocks again. He denies Hibernian. That is at least | :33:36. | :33:42. | |
three top quality saves from the Partick Thistle goalkeeper this | :33:43. | :33:48. | |
afternoon. Thistle are in possession. Kris Doolan has done | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
well to get away from Forster. He is still backtracking. Doolan has gone | :33:55. | :34:01. | |
all the way. That is quite magnificent from the Partick Thistle | :34:02. | :34:12. | |
front man. A real soul and effort. -- so low effort. -- solo. Hibernian | :34:13. | :34:30. | |
fall behind in Terry Butcher's first match in charge at Easter Road. What | :34:31. | :34:45. | |
a save from Scott Fox. If Partick Thistle are to pick up all three | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
points they will have the goalkeeper to thank for it. Forbes. Still | :34:49. | :35:02. | |
Forbes. That is a real chance passed up by Ross Forbes. This could have | :35:03. | :35:11. | |
put it out of sight for Thistle. Forbes lost his composure. It might | :35:12. | :35:19. | |
have been a handball against him. On comes Jason Cummings with his second | :35:20. | :35:25. | |
Hibernian appearance. Terry Butcher tries to earn his side a point. It | :35:26. | :35:36. | |
falls for Cummins. He could have been a hero there just seconds after | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
coming on. He could not connect with the knock-down. This really must be | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
the last opportunity for Hibernian. They have done it! On the stroke of | :35:48. | :35:54. | |
full-time! Team 's call and snatches a point. Terry Butcher a relieved | :35:55. | :36:06. | |
man. The pressure finally pays off. Scott Fox has kept virtually | :36:07. | :36:14. | |
everything out until the death will stop we created chances we wanted to | :36:15. | :36:20. | |
win the match. It was disappointing to lose a goal so late on in the | :36:21. | :36:28. | |
game. Standing. It was a victory in any respect. It is about spirit and | :36:29. | :36:34. | |
togetherness and if you just keep going and keep going and the is | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
belief then sooner or later you will get something from it. What happened | :36:39. | :36:47. | |
to the Partick Thistle defending? It went her shoot for a bit. We | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
defended very well. Your organisation. You can see her knees | :36:53. | :37:01. | |
to players are in the centre of the call and I would want my centre half | :37:02. | :37:13. | |
is to mark. You can see in the replay that there is nobody, it is | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
not like they have a line of them and they have front of the markers. | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
You have got three Thistle guys in the back and four at the front. Here | :37:24. | :37:29. | |
is nobody in the width of the call. It will be so disappointing for Alan | :37:30. | :37:36. | |
Archibald. I thought it was a great goal from Kris Doolan but you | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
thought hence defending could have been better. He has a lot to do when | :37:40. | :37:49. | |
he picks it up on the halfway line. Paul Hanlon gets far too square and | :37:50. | :37:54. | |
makes it easy for Doolan. It is a brilliant finish. Hanlon does not | :37:55. | :38:02. | |
help himself with his body position. It is a really lovely finish by | :38:03. | :38:09. | |
Doolan. It was a first home debut for the Hibernian manager. Look at | :38:10. | :38:20. | |
him playing for Rangers. The pace of the game, look at how slow it is. | :38:21. | :38:27. | |
Then Michael forget the football, just kick him! What about Terry | :38:28. | :38:37. | |
Butcher is different? Then macro you see him involved, he brings a lot of | :38:38. | :38:48. | |
spirit to the team. I just do not see how Hibs would have got that | :38:49. | :38:56. | |
call. Just a certain sense of inevitability that something was | :38:57. | :39:03. | |
going to go for them. A certain attitude may be. After a few weeks | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
of making their minds up, the Inverness board decided to appoint | :39:08. | :39:24. | |
Hughes as the new manager. Intense pressure came to bear on Danny | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
Lennon, they were now showing some signs of form. | :39:29. | :39:36. | |
A new dawn for high-flying Inverness. It was a surprise to me | :39:37. | :39:47. | |
personally. I'm really happy. Then macro hopefully we can carry on. The | :39:48. | :39:56. | |
only way we can go is down so we can hopefully do a good job. As long as | :39:57. | :40:03. | |
they are in the top six, I will be happy. Oil St Mirren would dearly | :40:04. | :40:10. | |
love a place in the top six the form has not been the of late. The | :40:11. | :40:16. | |
Inverness keeper did well to stop this attempt in his 100th game. The | :40:17. | :40:22. | |
Paisley side looking lively but Inverness holding firm. If that | :40:23. | :40:31. | |
action was meaty, so was this tackle as well. A brutal first touch and an | :40:32. | :40:39. | |
even more brutal second. Earning just the yellow card from referee. | :40:40. | :40:47. | |
The better first half chances came the way of St Mirren. Next, McGowan | :40:48. | :40:57. | |
teed up Thompson but again the goalkeeper did well to rip -- repel | :40:58. | :41:03. | |
the former Scotland striker without help from the post. | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
St Mirren continued to dominate. This free kick from Maclean, a great | :41:09. | :41:17. | |
stop again to keep the scoreline at 0-0. In the second half, Inverness | :41:18. | :41:28. | |
did improve. This near post shot from Iran, comfortably stopped. | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
A better chance would come after this corner, punched clear by the | :41:35. | :41:43. | |
keeper. The ball back into the box, the attempt from Watkins struck the | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
post. The final touch from Watkins actually came off his shoulder. At | :41:51. | :41:57. | |
the other end, the Inverness goal continued to lead its charmed life. | :41:58. | :42:04. | |
It would be a case of points shared. Disappointed not to pick up maximum | :42:05. | :42:07. | |
points, nonetheless it is a valuable point. They were the better team in | :42:08. | :42:15. | |
the first half, second half we got our second wind and I thought we | :42:16. | :42:18. | |
aged it. In terms of spirit and attitude and commitment, fantastic. | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
At Fort Coke saw free-flowing passing football. Inverness, maybe a | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
bit more direct. You see him eventually putting that passing | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
football style on Inverness? I think so, that's his philosophy. He's not | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
going to change too much to begin with, tried to copy Terry Butcher's | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
postgrad celebrations as well! I think he will try and implement a | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
more passing style of foot or, that's in his make-up. -- style of | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
football. He will not try encourage boys to play the long ball. But they | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
are successful at the moment so doesn't want to change much. It is a | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
risky move to change it if they are successful. If it ain't broke, don't | :43:06. | :43:13. | |
fix it, but as Michael mentioned, he is very much a football purist and | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
likes his team to play at the back, through the midfield, get it wide. | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
That's not the way that Inverness Caley Thistle play, but they have a | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
shape and an understanding and I think the guys know exactly what | :43:30. | :43:32. | |
their role is in the team and will want to stick to that for this | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
season, at least. Interesting to see how that evolves. How does that | :43:37. | :43:39. | |
leave the table? Let's have a look at tomorrow's back | :43:40. | :43:59. | |
Pages: Fir Park, damages are condemned by | :44:00. | :44:17. | |
the club. The same sort of story here. That will probably be the | :44:18. | :44:32. | |
story of the week. A Roma spy, looking for Ryan Gauld. I'm not sure | :44:33. | :44:40. | |
that is trendy Italian gear. They were all out in force this weekend. | :44:41. | :44:41. | |
Good night. | :44:42. | :44:43. |
