It's this massive fixture. I think it is a game to relish. Rangers and

:00:48.:00:55.

Celtic will play their first league match in four years when they meet

:00:56.:00:59.

at Celtic Park. A colossus on the calendar. I think it generates

:01:00.:01:08.

interest and wealth and coverage. It is all a sideshow. The main event is

:01:09.:01:15.

this match. The build-up, the Gamer, the passion. Something is going to

:01:16.:01:21.

happen here. All things are going to happen.

:01:22.:01:52.

Welcome to Sportscene. I think we can safely say it's been the most

:01:53.:01:58.

seismic weekend in the premiership season so far. All be top-flight

:01:59.:02:02.

action coming up, plus reaction, comment, an analysis of all the

:02:03.:02:07.

major talking point in what has been an eventful weekend. Year to bring

:02:08.:02:12.

some order to the chaos, Steven Thompson and Michael Stewart. And so

:02:13.:02:17.

to the first old firm derby in the league for four years. A week of

:02:18.:02:23.

mammoth build-up and a fascination all of its own. Robert McLean is

:02:24.:02:31.

your match commentator. Celtic will start without Leigh Griffiths, who

:02:32.:02:36.

is still struggling with a hamstring injury. Moussa Dembele leads the

:02:37.:02:46.

attack and Philippe Senderos will be straight into the firing line.

:02:47.:02:57.

Hail, Rossiter, and Forrester are out. Moussa Dembele.

:02:58.:03:19.

And the warning bells were sounding. As Scott Sinclair made about darting

:03:20.:03:28.

run in behind. Wes Foderingham did well in goal. Upping the ante here.

:03:29.:03:38.

A corner kick. And there is the opening goal by Moussa Dembele. The

:03:39.:03:46.

20-year-old Frenchman is in dreamland. 33 minutes gone and he

:03:47.:04:03.

kisses the inside of the post. The marking was none too clever and the

:04:04.:04:10.

set piece, but it is a cowering header from Moussa Dembele. 1-0 to

:04:11.:04:12.

Celtic. That pass was very poor. Moussa

:04:13.:04:33.

Dembele turns away from Senderos. A double for Dembele on Old Firm date

:04:34.:04:38.

at Celtic Park. It is a brilliant bit of finishing. And Celtic are two

:04:39.:04:50.

heads. It all started with the poor pass from Kiernan. Suddenly, Dembele

:04:51.:04:59.

in on goal. He did not need the help of Scott Sinclair alongside him. All

:05:00.:05:04.

at the composure and quality you would look far inside the penalty

:05:05.:05:11.

box as he shot the ball away from Wes Foderingham and the Premiership

:05:12.:05:18.

leaders have 82 goal advantage now against Rangers. What a day for

:05:19.:05:21.

Dembele. Windass on the outside. A useful

:05:22.:05:47.

volley for Kenny Miller and Rangers have eight goal back. Joe Garner

:05:48.:05:57.

gets his first goal for the club. And breathes new life into Rangers.

:05:58.:06:06.

Just ahead of half-time. How badly did they need this? The cross

:06:07.:06:13.

knocked back across the goal by Kenny Miller and it was the former

:06:14.:06:18.

Preston striker Joe Garner who applied the finishing touch. It is

:06:19.:06:27.

2-1. Joey Barton looking to pull the strings. That is out wide. It was

:06:28.:06:39.

only as far as Barry McKay. And he was not far away from getting it

:06:40.:06:47.

into the top corner. The man who scored in spectacular style. In that

:06:48.:06:59.

Scottish Cup semifinal. Armstrong. Finding Dembele. He is on a

:07:00.:07:03.

hat-trick as he read the ball through. Scott Sinclair. He might

:07:04.:07:09.

just have tied up all three points for Celtic. With an hour gone in the

:07:10.:07:15.

Old Firm match. Sinclair strikes again. Five goals already for Celtic

:07:16.:07:25.

and this could be the one that means there is no way back for Rangers.

:07:26.:07:31.

Two goals for Dembele and now an assistant and it is a critical

:07:32.:07:37.

finish from Sinclair. In the inside the post. Celtic three, Rangers one.

:07:38.:07:59.

Between Senderos and Dembele. A yellow on his debut for the Swiss

:08:00.:08:11.

defender. As the officials combine to decide that was a "Up -- that was

:08:12.:08:24.

a booking. So much in control and they continue to threaten. It is

:08:25.:08:37.

Armstrong. A good save. He has looked impressive, Armstrong, since

:08:38.:08:44.

stepping off the bench. Producing this flying save from the Rangers

:08:45.:08:46.

goalkeeper and Sinclair was offside. A red card for Philippe Senderos.

:08:47.:09:15.

And it is the nightmare debut for the Swiss defender. Rangers are down

:09:16.:09:20.

to ten men. The hand ball as the bouncing ball deceived them. And he

:09:21.:09:24.

had to go. Armstrong. Sinclair. Dembele.

:09:25.:10:00.

Looking for an Old Firm treble. And divide at the near post by Wes

:10:01.:10:18.

Foderingham. Armstrong. For Roberts. Full steam ahead. It is a great ball

:10:19.:10:29.

in for Dembele. It is an Old Firm hat-trick for Moussa Dembele. And it

:10:30.:10:38.

is the icing on the cake for Celtic. It's 4-1 against Rangers. The former

:10:39.:10:46.

Fulham striker hits the target again. Lustig the supplier and it is

:10:47.:10:55.

a clinical finish from the Frenchman.

:10:56.:11:08.

Shifting it from side to side. Tierney gets in behind and the

:11:09.:11:31.

pull-back from Armstrong. It is a famous five for Celtic on old friend

:11:32.:11:43.

Dave. -- on Old Firm 's day. Armstrong wraps it up for Brendan

:11:44.:11:48.

Rodgers's team. A comprehensive victory. Against ten man Rangers as

:11:49.:11:56.

they were picked apart one more time and it is a clinical bit of

:11:57.:12:01.

finishing from the substitute who has looked in confident mood since

:12:02.:12:08.

coming off the bench. And he rounds of a memorable day for Celtic. 5-1.

:12:09.:12:22.

Long ball for Waghorn. It would not have been much consolation in any

:12:23.:12:30.

case. Even if that had gone in. It is a heavy beating for Mark

:12:31.:12:33.

Warburton's Rangers. He disappears down the tunnel. As Brendan Rodgers

:12:34.:12:40.

celebrates the most emphatic of winds. Hat-trick from Moussa

:12:41.:12:52.

Dembele. We thought we were very dominant in every area of the game.

:12:53.:12:58.

Defensively, or organisation to press the game was at a very high

:12:59.:13:04.

level. Also, when we couldn't win it back, we were able to drop in and

:13:05.:13:09.

the second goal came from that. I'm happy for the team and for us that

:13:10.:13:14.

we got three points and for the fans and for me. Since the day I signed

:13:15.:13:21.

for Celtic, I was looking forward to playing my first Old Firm game.

:13:22.:13:28.

Defensively, we never really had any problems. Outstanding performance

:13:29.:13:33.

and result. It would be tough to beat us and if we keep going like

:13:34.:13:36.

this, I don't think that anything can cope with that and we have to

:13:37.:13:40.

keep working hard and keep showing what we are all about.

:13:41.:13:48.

Dominant from Dembele. Celtic imperious. Rangers hammered. There

:13:49.:13:54.

is no other way of putting it. Stephen, you were there. Mark

:13:55.:13:58.

Warburton said that there was no major gulf between the sides. I

:13:59.:14:03.

think he is wrong. There is a big gulf between the sides. Rangers had

:14:04.:14:07.

a couple of spells where they were OK but Celtic outclassed them and

:14:08.:14:12.

ultimately embarrass them. Michael, huge credit to Celtic as an

:14:13.:14:17.

attacking force. Week after week, we have covered these Rangers defensive

:14:18.:14:19.

deficiencies and again, huge evidence of it yesterday. Yes. It is

:14:20.:14:26.

a recurrent theme here. Set plays. We looked at Celtic's last game

:14:27.:14:31.

against Aberdeen which was what we expect Rangers's management team

:14:32.:14:34.

would have done as well, and they only have five men in the box and I

:14:35.:14:37.

think that has caught Rangers off-guard. As we look at these clips

:14:38.:14:41.

here, you see this is the first corner before the Dembele goal and

:14:42.:14:46.

they are man for man up against the five men but Dembele is free. They

:14:47.:14:50.

have been caught off guard. That is 20 minutes before the goal, so you

:14:51.:14:54.

could forgive them for being caught off on that one. This is the goal.

:14:55.:14:58.

Somebody has got to have recognised that Dembele was free. Again,

:14:59.:15:03.

Dembele is free. Joe Garner has got to be the man that goes touch time

:15:04.:15:07.

and picked him up because if he does that, Dembele does not score.

:15:08.:15:10.

Whether that is the management team that saw that or whether that is

:15:11.:15:13.

somebody as a player recognising it and doing it. The management team

:15:14.:15:19.

could not have seen it because if they did, it would be corrected. You

:15:20.:15:23.

do not get two bites at the cherry. The warning was the first one in the

:15:24.:15:27.

second one, it is schoolboy defending. The manager is ultimately

:15:28.:15:32.

responsible. Of course, he is. If I am the manager, you set up a set

:15:33.:15:36.

plays before the game. Your first corner comes in and you make sure

:15:37.:15:39.

everybody does what you want. How they did not see that Dembele is

:15:40.:15:50.

free there is really worrying be managed from the pitch as well.

:15:51.:15:53.

Whether it is a goalkeeper on an experienced centre-half, whether

:15:54.:15:55.

ever there is a spare man, you're usually told about it quite quickly.

:15:56.:16:02.

Rangers like a defensive leader. It was a great day for Moussa Dembele.

:16:03.:16:05.

The first player to score a hat-trick in an Old Firm league

:16:06.:16:11.

match in 50 years. Celtic really countered on Rangers well. Brendan

:16:12.:16:16.

Rodgers topped about that. -- talked about that. In central midfield,

:16:17.:16:22.

that is where you have got to give depth and cover. Joey Barton is

:16:23.:16:27.

caught ahead of Moussa Dembele and does not recognise him and then

:16:28.:16:32.

takes over. Senderos died in. He should not have done that. His

:16:33.:16:37.

composure is unbelievable. He flicks it into the net. He was outstanding

:16:38.:16:42.

yesterday. It is the perfect hit trick. Three goals. Everyone was

:16:43.:16:51.

asking if Dembele could fill the void left by Griffiths. He clearly

:16:52.:16:58.

did. Such an enjoyable day for Celtic fans. No Leigh Griffiths but

:16:59.:17:01.

Moussa Dembele stepped into his shoes. Celtic can go into their next

:17:02.:17:12.

match full of confidence. Barcelona lost in La Liga yesterday. It will

:17:13.:17:18.

be a very different game. They have to enjoy it. They have worked hard

:17:19.:17:22.

to get to the Champions League. It is what the fans want and they

:17:23.:17:25.

should just go and enjoy it and I don't think the result matters too

:17:26.:17:30.

much to them. Michael, after yesterday's showing, what is your

:17:31.:17:34.

judgment on Rangers? Where will be finish in the league? I never

:17:35.:17:42.

expected them to challenge Celtic. A lot of questions needing answered

:17:43.:17:47.

from Mark Warburton and he is under pressure. Let's move on. The last

:17:48.:17:50.

couple of seasons, Aberdeen have come closest to Celtic but they lost

:17:51.:17:54.

to the champions 4-1 in their last game. Can they find their mojo

:17:55.:17:58.

against Caley Thistle? Richie Foran's side went to meet them with

:17:59.:18:02.

optimism. Players get nervous and supporters

:18:03.:18:13.

get nervous, the longer we are out there. St Johnstone back on level

:18:14.:18:23.

terms. What a sweet strike. A score in stoppage time. Sets us up nicely

:18:24.:18:35.

for Aberdeen. Aberdeen are boosted by the return of Jonny Hayes. He has

:18:36.:18:39.

been missing since the Europa League tie. Mark Reynolds is out through

:18:40.:18:47.

suspension. Inverness give former St Johnstone defender Brad Mackay his

:18:48.:18:50.

debut. The new signing comes in to take the place of Lewis Horner, who

:18:51.:19:01.

is on the bench. Switching that one and picking out Billy King. That is

:19:02.:19:08.

a good delivery to the back post. And Polworth with the shot. The

:19:09.:19:14.

closest we have come to a goal in this first half. Off the top of the

:19:15.:19:29.

bar. Polworth with the challenge. Here is begin.

:19:30.:19:37.

Trying to get away. And he has fired that one in and Aberdeen are in

:19:38.:19:49.

front. The Caley Thistle players are incensed. They feel there should

:19:50.:19:55.

have been a free kick. Burns with a little trip on Polworth. Went

:19:56.:20:04.

unpunished. But that one was delivered into the back of the net

:20:05.:20:11.

in fine form. Caley Thistle incensed. Can they get themselves

:20:12.:20:23.

back into this game quickly? A good breaking run. This by Wes Burns. Can

:20:24.:20:28.

he finish it? What a goal that would have been. Two horrific surging run

:20:29.:20:36.

from the midfield there by Burns. The only thing missing was the

:20:37.:20:49.

execution. Warren is under pressure. Adam Rooney is trying to curl it as

:20:50.:20:53.

well. Williams up to the task this time. Rooney was looking to add to

:20:54.:21:00.

his four goal tally so far for this season. In with the challenge there

:21:01.:21:08.

and both players seem to pick up a knock. Here go Aberdeen. Try to

:21:09.:21:26.

strike. Did save. The Caley Thistle keeper keeps the scoreline still at

:21:27.:21:42.

1-0. Brad Mackay with the through. Aberdeen struggling to get it clear.

:21:43.:21:49.

What a strike that is! Brilliant goal! It is his fifth goal of the

:21:50.:21:59.

season, his first in the league, and we have seen that before from that

:22:00.:22:02.

trusted left foot. The modern player from Norwich

:22:03.:22:20.

getting so close to getting his first goal for Aberdeen.

:22:21.:22:32.

Aberdeen trying to get players in the box. Looking for the winner. And

:22:33.:22:42.

it just won't go for the Dons. It was a good blocking challenge there.

:22:43.:22:49.

I put the approach in the second half was excellent. We started being

:22:50.:22:54.

far more aggressive, more positive. We were passing better and causing

:22:55.:23:01.

them problems. Scored a brilliant goal and we had two or three

:23:02.:23:04.

opportunities. I thought we were really on the front foot then but I

:23:05.:23:11.

do feel that we allowed the equaliser to come. I am

:23:12.:23:14.

disappointed, to be honest. I got Aberdeen were there for the taking.

:23:15.:23:19.

I thought defensively in preparation we were magnificent. We were the

:23:20.:23:26.

poorest we have been in attacking. Maybe in some hours or a day or two,

:23:27.:23:30.

I will be happy with the point, but at the moment, I am not.

:23:31.:23:37.

Stephen, are you surprised by the slow start to the season for

:23:38.:23:43.

Aberdeen? Yes, a little bit. It has been a slow start. Jonny Hayes is a

:23:44.:23:49.

pivotal player for them. They were not happy with the first-half

:23:50.:23:52.

performance but it improved in the second half and it is early days and

:23:53.:23:56.

I am sure the consistency will come. Caley Thistle were upset because

:23:57.:24:01.

they thought there was a foul. I would agree. I think they have every

:24:02.:24:05.

right to feel aggrieved, but after that, it was a magnificent finish.

:24:06.:24:10.

Here is the clip. I think the referee might just be a little bit

:24:11.:24:14.

unsighted when the file is made. Then when the ball comes wide, it is

:24:15.:24:23.

all about McGinn. They had possession and then they lost it

:24:24.:24:27.

again. They had so many bodies back. I am not sure of that was a shot. He

:24:28.:24:33.

was perhaps just trying to stand inside the box. It seemed to go into

:24:34.:24:38.

slow motion. Disappointing for them not to get the free kick, but I

:24:39.:24:41.

think they have enough bodies back there that they should be dealing

:24:42.:24:46.

with that better. Richie Foran felt that his players were a bit

:24:47.:24:49.

toothless. He is looking at bringing in some more free agents. When the

:24:50.:24:55.

goal came, it it was some strike. In a similar vein, talking about

:24:56.:24:59.

Inverness been disappointed with the way they defended, Aberdeen will be

:25:00.:25:02.

really disappointed they have not dealt with this better. They have a

:25:03.:25:04.

lot of bodies back there that does fail to clear the lines and then

:25:05.:25:15.

some quality players. Real quality. And you heard Richie Foran saying he

:25:16.:25:18.

is disappointed to only get one point. I think in a couple hours or

:25:19.:25:22.

perhaps now, he will be quite happy with that. If you get a point there,

:25:23.:25:29.

you will take it. We spoke about it before, this lack of goal threat

:25:30.:25:33.

from Inverness. It was in evidence yesterday. It has to be a worry.

:25:34.:25:38.

They need to get somebody in. They do. They started the season with

:25:39.:25:42.

Scott Boden. He has not found his way to the goal. They seem to be

:25:43.:25:46.

struggling to find the right balance, certainly in the centre

:25:47.:25:50.

forward area. OK. Hearts have been building momentum in the past few

:25:51.:25:56.

weeks. Two wins and a draw. Could they be the side to push Celtic in

:25:57.:26:00.

the league this season? Hearts have the opportunity to go

:26:01.:26:10.

second with a victory this afternoon. Jamie Walker is included,

:26:11.:26:17.

the only change. Ahead of Sam Nicholson. The captain has a knee

:26:18.:26:23.

injury and is replaced in central defence by Dan Seaborn. Tony Watt

:26:24.:26:37.

has done very well. He had his shorts pulled. He goes down and that

:26:38.:26:42.

will be a booking for diving. They just made the most of it. He looked

:26:43.:26:47.

like he might well have been touched, but he was so overelaborate

:26:48.:26:53.

with his dive that you made Craig Thomson's mind up for him. That

:26:54.:27:04.

might work out. And he gets the shot away, just eight few inches wide of

:27:05.:27:08.

the post. I don't think you necessarily meant to leave that, but

:27:09.:27:13.

it almost worked out beautifully. Dougie Imrie. Manages to get the

:27:14.:27:25.

ball back to the left-hand side where Gillespie picks up up against

:27:26.:27:31.

Paterson. A great goal for the visitors and no surprise that it is

:27:32.:27:35.

Ali Crawford back on the scoresheet Hamilton. It is therefore of goal of

:27:36.:27:43.

the season. A terrific delivery here. And Jack Hamilton was left

:27:44.:27:54.

with absolutely no chance. Jamie Walker could be in here. Goes for

:27:55.:28:02.

goal. So unlucky! Deflection takes the ball into the arms of Matthews

:28:03.:28:08.

and Jamie Walker hugely unfortunate not to have grabbed the equaliser

:28:09.:28:09.

there. Can he find a cross, Sam Nicholson?

:28:10.:28:23.

He has done. It's a good header. And it's in from Jamie Walker. Hearts,

:28:24.:28:29.

at last, are on the scoresheet. Third goal of the season for Jamie

:28:30.:28:35.

Walker, his second in the league. And Jamie Walker is able to plant

:28:36.:28:39.

that beyond Remi Matthews who really should have got a stronger hand to

:28:40.:28:49.

it. It's a deep one, headed back in. Hamilton just can't get it away.

:28:50.:28:53.

There goes Rossi, looking for the penalty kick. Played into the feet

:28:54.:29:13.

of Rossi. John Souttar... Must be a penalty this time. Indeed it is.

:29:14.:29:18.

Craig Thomson has been under pressure to award a spot kick and at

:29:19.:29:23.

last he points to the spot. Hamilton feel Sam Nicholson went over to

:29:24.:29:28.

easily. Craig Thomson having turned down two or three penalty appeals

:29:29.:29:31.

simply couldn't turn another one away. There was definitely contact.

:29:32.:29:36.

Sam Nicholson might have embellished that. But a penalty kick it was.

:29:37.:29:42.

There will be a chance now for Jamie Walker to score his second of the

:29:43.:29:49.

afternoon. Cool as you like from Walker, sending Matthews the wrong

:29:50.:29:56.

way. And it's four for the season now for Jamie Walker. It's a good

:29:57.:30:03.

ball for Imrie. Imrie bursting into the penalty area. Imrie goes down,

:30:04.:30:12.

looking for a penalty. Well, Accies incensed once more. Here comes

:30:13.:30:28.

Robbie Muirhead looking to just ensure Hearts take the three points.

:30:29.:30:34.

Ooh, it's a fine goal from Sam Nicholson to wrap things up!

:30:35.:30:42.

Terrific strike. That's a beautiful hit from Sam Nicholson. It's all

:30:43.:30:52.

over bar the shouting, now. And the full-time whistle sounds. And a bit

:30:53.:31:03.

of afters, there, between Crawford and Kitchen in the closing stages.

:31:04.:31:08.

Frustrating at half-time for the players. We said the game is not won

:31:09.:31:17.

over 45, its 90 minutes. And with the patients that we had and for the

:31:18.:31:25.

fans as well. To go 1-0 up, their goal, the first one, Walker has a

:31:26.:31:29.

free header. The second one I don't think is a penalty, having seen it

:31:30.:31:34.

back. From what the boys are saying, the player said he was off balance

:31:35.:31:38.

and had no option but to go down. It's frustrating when those go

:31:39.:31:43.

against you. Hearts second in the table on ten points, three wins in a

:31:44.:31:49.

row. Growing sense of belief? Inevitably off the back of three

:31:50.:31:53.

wins there is going to be. To be honest the three games they've won

:31:54.:31:58.

our games you would expect Hearts to win, Inverness, Partick Thistle and

:31:59.:32:02.

Hamilton. Those are the games they have got to win. Fair credit, they

:32:03.:32:06.

have gone and done that. Hamilton Accies took the lead again in this

:32:07.:32:10.

match. They reject things with Massimo Donati. They did. Hearts

:32:11.:32:16.

started more lively and were I far the better team. Hamilton made a

:32:17.:32:21.

substitution, and Massimo denied he dropped back into a sweeper role,

:32:22.:32:25.

like a Frans Battenberg role, almost. You don't see many folk

:32:26.:32:31.

doing that nowadays. It meant that they had an extra man back there.

:32:32.:32:35.

He's a comfortable player and reads the game well. Swept up and cleared

:32:36.:32:40.

up a lot of trouble for Hamilton. Hearts played a lot of the game too

:32:41.:32:46.

narrowly. I just think it's that instinct as a midfielder where you

:32:47.:32:49.

can see the game in front of you, makes it easier. He did really well,

:32:50.:32:54.

but this was the man that made the difference. Sam Nicholson came on

:32:55.:32:57.

and really turned the game on its head. First goal, great bit of wind

:32:58.:33:02.

play, gets to the byline and things out a great cross. -- digs out. When

:33:03.:33:13.

the Hearts wide men play well, they invariably get a good performance.

:33:14.:33:18.

Topping it off with this goal, great touch and a fantastic finish into

:33:19.:33:21.

the corner. He made a difference when he came on. Do we have another

:33:22.:33:28.

diving scenario at Tynecastle? This was a penalty. At the time I thought

:33:29.:33:35.

it looked a bit theatrical, but there is contact on his right shin.

:33:36.:33:41.

100% a penalty. And Lee Thompson is only five yards away. If Tony Watt

:33:42.:33:46.

doesn't make such a meal of the dies after contact I think he gets a

:33:47.:33:51.

penalty. Is this a dive? This is a dive for me. Craig Thomson's

:33:52.:33:56.

position is excellent. But this is a dive, there is no contact, and when

:33:57.:34:00.

you see the slow Misha and replay, you see Sam Nicholson's lead, he

:34:01.:34:04.

leaves it hanging, hoping something hits it. I'll be honest, at the

:34:05.:34:11.

game, to me at real-time that was a penalty. The angle Craig Thomson has

:34:12.:34:15.

got, you would expect to see that there was no contact. But Massimo

:34:16.:34:20.

Donati just ran across his line of vision at that point, probably the

:34:21.:34:26.

reason Hearts got the penalty. 15 matches in the league last year, one

:34:27.:34:32.

of the major reason they ended in the bottom six -- Dundee drew 15

:34:33.:34:36.

matches last year. Kilmarnock were the visitors.

:34:37.:34:42.

COMMENTATOR: Ed Davey for weightlifter Dundee, back in

:34:43.:34:56.

Scotland three years away. Craig Wighton is the other change. There

:34:57.:35:06.

is a debut for Scott Boyd. Rory McKenzie returns. William Boyle on

:35:07.:35:09.

to the bench. Mark O'Hara goes up. It might fall

:35:10.:35:26.

for Craig Wighton. Ojha are playing in the advanced role. Sitting up for

:35:27.:35:34.

Craig Wighton. Free kick in, white and with a dummy, and a goal! It's

:35:35.:35:44.

his first four Dundee! Lovely play from Wighton with the dummy. High

:35:45.:35:50.

into the net. It's his fifth appearance for Dundee, his first

:35:51.:36:00.

goal. O'Hara enjoying playing against his former team-mates. Good

:36:01.:36:08.

ball in, O'Hara with a flick. Couple of Dundee goals already. So full of

:36:09.:36:15.

confidence. Lovely ball in, audacious little flick. Frizzell

:36:16.:36:33.

comes short. That's a deep cross. Coulibaly with a stunning equaliser!

:36:34.:36:37.

The exuberant celebration of Salomon Kalou ballet.

:36:38.:36:42.

Won't have surprised his team-mates come he does it in training all the

:36:43.:36:47.

time. It will have caught out Dundee. It's a stunning finish. Rory

:36:48.:36:58.

McKenzie, out for a couple of games with a thigh injury. Back battling

:36:59.:37:07.

today. It's a great pass, ooh committees taken a touch, then get

:37:08.:37:11.

the shot away. Might have been tempted to hit first-time. Yet to

:37:12.:37:17.

score this season. Would have been the 12th Dundee player to do so.

:37:18.:37:25.

Paul McGowan on to Wighton, good save from McDonald's, and again.

:37:26.:37:30.

Double stop from the goalkeeper. Craig Wighton denied. You see

:37:31.:37:34.

goalkeepers in training all the time saving a shot, getting back up to do

:37:35.:37:38.

another. And here is practised definitely making perfect. Dundee

:37:39.:37:48.

have drawn the last couple of games. O'Hara gets it through to Cameron

:37:49.:37:54.

Kerr, looking for the breakthrough. Back onto O'Hara. Can't get the shot

:37:55.:37:58.

away, El-Bakhtaoui. Dundee applying the

:37:59.:38:12.

pressure, just can't quite get the clean shop they were hoping for.

:38:13.:38:23.

This one into the stands. Adams goes in, and so does Gomis. That could be

:38:24.:38:35.

a red card. He is hurt. Charlie Adam takes a sore one. The referee is

:38:36.:38:39.

standing with card in hand. Little complaint from the Frenchman and

:38:40.:38:42.

Dundee will play the remainder of the game with ten. Adam's foot was

:38:43.:38:50.

down, Gomis's foot wasn't, and he's off. Dundee trying to come again.

:38:51.:39:00.

Frizzell, El-Bakhtaoui. Room to shoot. Comes close again. He's been

:39:01.:39:02.

a bundle of energy all day. I'm a little bit disappointed, I

:39:03.:39:12.

felt after we went one down we done really well. Missed opportunities.

:39:13.:39:21.

Just felt that we didn't push on further in the second half. I know

:39:22.:39:25.

we were playing against ten men but it was only for eight or nine

:39:26.:39:29.

minutes or so but we didn't move the ball quick enough when we had a man

:39:30.:39:33.

extra. Any other time we'd be happy with a point but a little

:39:34.:39:37.

disappointed. I think frustration is the word that we are looking for. We

:39:38.:39:44.

started the first half-hour bright, get the goal, but maybe not clinical

:39:45.:39:49.

enough. Their goal was a fantastic strike and we couldn't do much about

:39:50.:39:55.

it. But overall I'm disappointed. STUDIO: There you have it, surprise,

:39:56.:40:00.

surprise, a match involving Dundee ends in a draw. Paul Hartley

:40:01.:40:05.

disappointed. There's no doubt. He referenced the fact that too many

:40:06.:40:09.

draws was what kept them out of the top six last year. One thing that

:40:10.:40:13.

will not please him is the fact his striker El-Bakhtaoui has got off the

:40:14.:40:18.

scoresheet. The patron saint of people who get sent off. You feel

:40:19.:40:25.

Kevin Gomez was unlucky? I do, it was not a two-footed tackle. When

:40:26.:40:32.

you slide in, it is physically impossible for your foot and the

:40:33.:40:36.

studs to be looking at the ground. That is a sending off all day long,

:40:37.:40:42.

his foot is high. It's not high. Of course it's high! It's barely off

:40:43.:40:46.

the ground. Oh, come on. The only problem is he's marginally late. His

:40:47.:40:51.

studs are showing comedies caught him in the knee, red card all day

:40:52.:40:55.

long. Just because I did things like tackling is banned in the game yet,

:40:56.:41:00.

is it? It's not. It's only one foot, the studs are showing. Michael knows

:41:01.:41:04.

what he's talking about when it comes to red card. And a lot of them

:41:05.:41:10.

were rescinded! For me it is a red card all day. Our thoughts very much

:41:11.:41:14.

with Kris Boyd after the sad loss of his brother during the week. He took

:41:15.:41:18.

the decision to play, brave decision, you'd have to say, as

:41:19.:41:22.

well. The Kilmarnock strike was a great goal from Coulibaliy.

:41:23.:41:34.

Unbelievable bicycle kick, technically brilliant. He has

:41:35.:41:38.

obviously got the sort of goal in the locker. He knows exactly what

:41:39.:41:42.

he's going to do, watching it coming out of the air and the technique to

:41:43.:41:45.

deliver that skill is perfection. Great goal to watch. If you've been

:41:46.:41:51.

enjoying Scotland's game, make sure you don't miss the final chapter

:41:52.:41:52.

this Thursday on BBC One. As the sole of Scottish football

:41:53.:42:04.

hangs in the balance. We need to change, do things differently. Can

:42:05.:42:08.

we find answers? Lets get people into the gates. That would be

:42:09.:42:12.

fantastic for Scotland. Scotland's game concludes Thursday at 9pm.

:42:13.:42:15.

STUDIO: St Johnstone have been hardy top six perennials these past few

:42:16.:42:23.

seasons but a strange work of fate meant they lost their last four

:42:24.:42:30.

encounters with Partick Thistle, would that change at Firhill

:42:31.:42:31.

yesterday? One change to the Partick Thistle

:42:32.:42:56.

team which lost at home to Hearts. Sean Welsh is back from suspension

:42:57.:43:02.

and replaces Edwards. Illness put Alan Mannus among the subs with

:43:03.:43:04.

Zander Clark taking over. Chris Millar and Liam Craig edged out

:43:05.:43:15.

Blair Alston and David Wotherspoon. That Danny Devine, and Stevie

:43:16.:43:18.

Lawless spinning away from Swanson, and a dangerous ball in. Saved by

:43:19.:43:24.

Zander Clark. It was a shot at goal from Lawless. Ended up with the

:43:25.:43:28.

perfect assist for Kris Doolan. Abdul Osman, Kris Doolan had a

:43:29.:43:53.

swing. Off the head of the Daniel Devine. Twice involved on the set

:43:54.:44:00.

piece. And finally the stand-in goalkeeper did well to get in the

:44:01.:44:08.

way of this. Chris Millar, the Saints skipper. That's Richard

:44:09.:44:15.

Foster. Danny Swanson. Good run made by Foster. Back for Stephen MacLean.

:44:16.:44:23.

Decent strike from Stephen MacLean, had he kept this down he might well

:44:24.:44:27.

have been scoring. At a decent height for the goalkeeper. Tomas

:44:28.:44:29.

Cerny made the save. Swanson's cross, Stephen Anderson!

:44:30.:44:41.

Scores from an almost impossible angle. Well, that's one for the

:44:42.:44:48.

scrapbook for the defender. How did he do that? Amused goalkeeper Thomas

:44:49.:44:58.

Sony couldn't quite believe that had gone in -- bemused goalkeeper Thomas

:44:59.:45:04.

Cheney. Now it's Chris Erskine I, through

:45:05.:45:19.

for Kris Doolan. Chris Erskine again missing the target. Story of the

:45:20.:45:26.

match so far for Partick Thistle. Playing some football that's really

:45:27.:45:32.

easy on the eyewitness went product. -- really easy on the eye, with no

:45:33.:45:42.

end product. In from Swanson, Brian Easton. That's Chris Kane!

:45:43.:45:47.

Spectacular effort from the striker. Just wouldn't quite dip quickly

:45:48.:45:53.

enough for him. Onto the top of the net, it went.

:45:54.:46:03.

Looking to make something happen. Not like that. Another chance for

:46:04.:46:15.

Thistle. Callum Booth, ooh, it's a great ball in for Ryan Edwards, who

:46:16.:46:22.

might just have seen Ziggy Gordon out of the corner of his eye,

:46:23.:46:25.

because this looked a decent chance to equalise. This cute pass goes

:46:26.:46:38.

straight to Swanson. Stephen MacLean terms and scores! Quality written

:46:39.:46:46.

all over that one for his fifth goal of the season. Stephen Anderson with

:46:47.:46:53.

the first, Stephen MacLean with the second. Unstoppable. The turn away

:46:54.:47:00.

from Daniel Devine, who got wrong side.

:47:01.:47:11.

Lawless tugs the shot wide. Nice build-up again from Thistle. But

:47:12.:47:22.

Zander Clark hasn't really had to many serious saves to make, and that

:47:23.:47:24.

tells a story. Gordon's throw flicked on by

:47:25.:47:41.

Edwards, away by Anderson. Steven Lawless had a wild swing at it from

:47:42.:47:46.

long range. Thistle stripping and sliding, it seems, to the bottom of

:47:47.:47:47.

the table. We didn't look as creative and sharp

:47:48.:47:58.

up front as we have done. Think that was down to individual battles. We

:47:59.:48:07.

deserved the win. We were not under real pressure for any sustained

:48:08.:48:11.

period in the game. They had a few half chances. In the main we

:48:12.:48:17.

controlled large parts of the game. STUDIO: St Johnstone get that

:48:18.:48:21.

Partick Thistle shaped monkey off they're back. Partick Thistle now

:48:22.:48:26.

bottom of the table. Steven Anderson, you were impressed by his

:48:27.:48:30.

goal-scoring prowess yesterday? Some is. Yeah, he was with me as a kid at

:48:31.:48:36.

Dundee United. He's been such a formidable player for St Johnstone

:48:37.:48:39.

over the years. He's a brilliant defender. He reads the game well,

:48:40.:48:46.

he's very competitive. And he is rightly the club legend. Obviously a

:48:47.:48:51.

cup winning hero as well. Did he pick up any goal-scoring tips from

:48:52.:48:58.

new? He must have done! He can't actually believe it himself, in the

:48:59.:49:03.

celebration, he's like, what just happened? Great finish from the

:49:04.:49:08.

angle for a player who deserves it. A bit like Stephen McManus. Exactly,

:49:09.:49:14.

he didn't learn it off him. It's been a topsy-turvy season for

:49:15.:49:19.

Partick Thistle thus far. Definitely. They started the season

:49:20.:49:22.

well with the League Cup, getting a lot of wins. But the league campaign

:49:23.:49:27.

has been disappointing. They'll be worried to be a wee bit adrift at

:49:28.:49:31.

the bottom of the table. They have a game in hand but it is against

:49:32.:49:34.

Celtic and it's difficult to see them getting points there. It's a

:49:35.:49:38.

position they'll be wanting to get out of quickly. Kilmarnock away

:49:39.:49:43.

next, how nervous should the Partick Thistle fans be? It's far too early.

:49:44.:49:48.

Having seen bits of their play they have not been playing badly but it's

:49:49.:49:52.

not quite clicking in the final third. Too early to be concerned.

:49:53.:49:58.

Motherwell recently lost when the Marvin Johnson who moved south, the

:49:59.:50:02.

remainder of the squad headed north to Ross County.

:50:03.:50:11.

Jim McIntyre has rewarded Alex Schalk's recent performances with a

:50:12.:50:23.

starting position. Motherwell no longer able to call upon Marvin

:50:24.:50:27.

Johnson. Ryan Bowman comes in to make his debut. Four games without a

:50:28.:50:32.

win for Motherwell, three defeats followed by a 0-0 draw against

:50:33.:50:42.

Dundee last time out. A deep one, looking for Christopher Cadden, it

:50:43.:50:45.

goes all the way across the face of goal. He was the Player of the Month

:50:46.:50:50.

for Motherwell for August. That got him into the Scotland U21 side.

:50:51.:51:00.

Eventually. Keith Lasley onto Craig Clay, who was clattered by James

:51:01.:51:05.

McEvilly. A rash challenge from the defender. Alan Newell comes out with

:51:06.:51:17.

an early booking for McEvely. It goes wide to Franks. Woods. Comes

:51:18.:51:24.

out to Michael Gardyne. Curling effort comes off the top of the bar.

:51:25.:51:29.

Franks now can drill one across. And Motherwell survive. Gardyne, head in

:51:30.:51:38.

his hands. Curling effort, so unlucky with the goalkeeper beaten.

:51:39.:51:44.

Franks trying to connect with the man in the middle. Here is Jonathan

:51:45.:51:53.

Franks. Right footed delivery. And it's Boyce who heads over the top.

:51:54.:52:00.

It's a delightful cross in from Franks. Boyce got there first but

:52:01.:52:10.

couldn't find the target. Cadden is up against McEvely. And he'll be

:52:11.:52:15.

camphor pace. He's got the strength to hold him off as well. -- he'll

:52:16.:52:22.

beat him for pace. Motherwell threatened once again. Bowman, the

:52:23.:52:29.

signing mean from Gateshead, looking for a goal on debut. Gardyne now.

:52:30.:52:42.

Dropped back for McEvely. Schalk, and here is Liam Boyce! And the

:52:43.:52:46.

Northern Irishman gives Ross County the lead with just over an hour

:52:47.:52:51.

played. He's so composed in front of goal. He has now emitted each of

:52:52.:53:02.

Ross County's last six goals. Franks, Schalk, driving at the

:53:03.:53:07.

defence. Boyce, teed up for Gardyne. Boyce again. Sampson saves, Schalk

:53:08.:53:15.

knocks into the back of the net at the offside flag is up against the

:53:16.:53:21.

Dutchman. Gardyne teeing up Boyce, it was well saved. Schalk had gone

:53:22.:53:32.

too early. McDonald finds space, comes away from the goalkeeper, down

:53:33.:53:36.

he goes. And Alan Newell points to the penalty spot. Scott Fox receives

:53:37.:53:42.

a yellow card and there are not too many complaints from the Ross County

:53:43.:53:52.

team. Lewis Moult is back and amongst the goals. Just seven

:53:53.:53:56.

minutes into his return. He's been out for six weeks. Moult flicks on

:53:57.:54:05.

for Scott McDonald, who got their redhead of McEvely. Could be in

:54:06.:54:08.

trouble here, she's already been booked. Alan Neal is straight

:54:09.:54:12.

across, a second yellow card for the left-back. And Ross County will play

:54:13.:54:19.

the remaining 20 minutes with ten men. There is still time to go but

:54:20.:54:25.

there hasn't been a draw here for two and a half years. 43 matches.

:54:26.:54:43.

Kenny Vander with the cross. Craig Curran was crying out to be set up.

:54:44.:54:51.

McDonald's ball in, Ainsworth is there. And it was a great

:54:52.:54:54.

opportunity to win the game for Motherwell.

:54:55.:55:00.

I thought it was a fairly even first half, didn't think there was a lot

:55:01.:55:06.

in the game. I think second half we started really well. Once we got the

:55:07.:55:11.

goal I thought we were well on top. Looked as though we'd go on and get

:55:12.:55:15.

the next one. But obviously the sending off just turned the game on

:55:16.:55:19.

its head in terms of our side of things and gave Motherwell a big

:55:20.:55:24.

lift. Regardless of the sending off, probably a draw was right. Both

:55:25.:55:28.

teams missed chances. If anything I felt we had to defend their chances

:55:29.:55:34.

and they didn't score because we defended them. I feel we missed our

:55:35.:55:38.

chances. In that respect maybe I felt we had a slight edge. But I'm

:55:39.:55:43.

absolutely content with a point. Let's get straight to the sending

:55:44.:55:54.

off of James McEvely, was it deserved? It is a wild tackle. He

:55:55.:56:00.

gets sent off for two yellow cards, that is a red card in itself. He

:56:01.:56:04.

clatters into him. You almost want to turn away. The referee is a yard

:56:05.:56:09.

away. I think this is slightly harsh. It is a clumsy coming

:56:10.:56:14.

together. I don't think that is too much of a yellow card. I think the

:56:15.:56:18.

referee is desperate to send him off because he knows he got it wrong.

:56:19.:56:23.

And McEvely knows that the first one he got away with, it was a straight

:56:24.:56:27.

red. In the end it's the right decision that he's been sent off.

:56:28.:56:31.

Identifying the second one was a yellow. You are in agreement this

:56:32.:56:36.

time? The first half should have been a straight red, horrendous

:56:37.:56:40.

challenge. I know you are a big fan of Jonathan Franks. I am indeed. A

:56:41.:56:46.

massive performance. He doesn't mess about when he gets the ball in wide

:56:47.:56:50.

areas. This one comes to nothing but when he gets the ball in these areas

:56:51.:56:55.

he doesn't mess about. He takes his touch, get it out of his feet and

:56:56.:56:58.

delivers. The sort of thing a strike at thrives on. He's direct. You know

:56:59.:57:05.

what he's going to do. You do, but you don't need to think twice as a

:57:06.:57:09.

striker. That's a decent ball into a good area. He did it all match

:57:10.:57:13.

yesterday and was impressive. Just get it out of your feet and deliver.

:57:14.:57:19.

That one should have led to a goal. Almost a carbon copy. Get it out of

:57:20.:57:23.

your feet, just make yourself half a yard, stick it in the box. Fitting

:57:24.:57:29.

we talk about a winter because Motherwell getting used to live

:57:30.:57:31.

without Marvin Johnson who is going to be a loss. Of course. He's a

:57:32.:57:38.

typical winger. He was hit and miss at times. For a club like Motherwell

:57:39.:57:42.

to lose someone like him, Marvin Johnson will be a big miss. They

:57:43.:57:48.

have players that can adapt, plenty who can be effective in the final

:57:49.:57:52.
