The next 45 minutes could be a tight squeeze, highlights of the | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
top four SPL games this weekend and the Cup Final, and we will hear | :00:35. | :00:45. | |
:00:45. | :01:09. | ||
Hibs were looking to end a wait of three years for an Edinburgh derby | :01:09. | :01:19. | |
:01:19. | :01:19. | ||
win. Hearts had won this season's previous two. | :01:19. | :01:27. | |
Hammell, Hearts lead the Edinburgh Derby. Hearts domination of the | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
:01:37. | :01:58. | ||
fixture looks like continuing. Hammell, Barr and Skacel, replaced | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
some. Osborne and Sproull were banned for Hibs. The only changes | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
:02:15. | :02:52. | ||
from the team that reached the players are down. Skacel into the | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
back of his head, it is bad cut on the Hearts player on the back of | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
the head, Francombe had the height on the ball, it is a sore one. A | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
:03:12. | :03:49. | ||
free kick. been linked with the vacant post at | :03:49. | :03:58. | |
Dunfermline. Beattie has done it brilliantly and | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
scores. The goalkeeper thought about | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
dragging him down, but Beattie went through with the finish. Hearts | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
have the breakthrough after 27 minutes. The pass from Black, | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
absolutely perfect, on said was Craig Beattie, the first touch | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
absolutely sublime, poked through the legs of Graham Stack. Hearts | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
:04:33. | :04:33. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :04:33. | :05:15. | |
with a moment of skill take the supplying the pressure, and Beattie | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
called into defensive duties, almost off Hammell, and Beattie | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
:05:28. | :05:59. | ||
second half. Craig Beattie, right Jimmy McDonald. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Donovan would have wanted more on the header, glanced it in, and the | :06:03. | :06:13. | |

for the shot, and scores. Santana seals derby day victory for Hearts. | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
It will be ten in a row without defeat in this fixture for Hearts. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
He went wide and brought it under control with the fresh legs, | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
tempted him to go for goal, it opened up and beat Graham Stack. A | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
fine finish to the Derby for Hearts, they have been the better side. | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
Kurls it into the corner. You two have both sampled the | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Edinburgh derby a few times, Paul, Edinburgh derby a few times, Paul, | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
you were there, today how was it. I I thought the first have was a | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
bit scrappy, Hearts got the goal, second half was the same, but | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
Hearts deserved it. Craig Beattie has made an impact in a short time? | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
I'm not surprised, his work rate is fantastic, he works hard, he's | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
quick and direct. A great touch, first touch takes him from Doherty, | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
and a great toe poke between the legs. Beattie's game is all about | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
running, effort and work rate, he's doing that. Looking at that, not a | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
bat finisher either. I must say about Doherty's positioning, when | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Hibs were attacking wasn't the best, great Beattie got in. | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
It is about all the things you said and confidence as well, clearly | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
he's confident when he's trying that? He's not played a lot, this | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
season, but he gives something different to Hearts, he's a strong | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
runner. He's in behind the defence, he works hard. You were saying he | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
got back a lot, which is demonstrated there, this was him in | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
the cup tie last weekend? Great header, great movement, pulls off a | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
defender, powerful header. He has made a big difference to Hearts, | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
something they have lacked over the last couple of years. It could be a | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
shop window for him as well, Hearts would love to hold on to him, based | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
on what he's doing at the moment, but other clubs will be alerted? | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
was a great signing to get somebody like Craig Beattie in. Surely Craig | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
:09:03. | :09:03. | ||
Beattie will use that as a board to jump on to other things. He has had | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
plenty of experience from big clubs in England, so he's showing his | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
skills. Good skills by Souso for goal number two, this was in the | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
90th minute, I guess at this stage Hibs were throne throwing | :09:17. | :09:25. | |
everything for the equaliser. only has one point in his mind, the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
last kick of the goal. The only place to go is across the | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
goalkeeper, Graham Stack is disappointed, but he has to do | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
:09:43. | :09:44. | ||
better. It is a similar goal to the first one in terms of Hibs are | :09:45. | :09:48. | |
attacks but not picking up the striking player. How much of a | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
setback is it for him, for a couple of great results, they have got | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
themself four points off the bottom, the Scottish cup semifinals, does | :09:57. | :10:04. | |
that set them back a bit? Of course it does, especially being a der | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
match bee match, you want to -- derby match, you want to win those | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
games I know how important they are in Edinburgh and for Hearts as well. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
It will be interesting the end to the season now, Dunfermline are | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
looking for a new manager, what impact they get from the new | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
management, the team that goes in there. Hibs are not firing on all | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
cylinders, so the relegation battle is not over yet. What did you make | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
of the timing of Jim McIntyre's dismissal by Dunfermline? I thought | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
it was a bit of a strange one. If they were going to get rid of Jim, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
why not do it after the last game, two or three weeks ago, he has done | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
a terrific job there. He's working under difficult circumstances, they | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
have not a lot of money to spend, they will still get a chance of | :10:50. | :10:59. | |
staying up. I find it pretty strange. In Paisley St Helen's were | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
:11:09. | :11:15. | ||
up against straight draws. They St Johnstone arrived at placely | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
having not played for a fortnight. having not played for a fortnight. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
No sign of rust. Just a few minutes in there was a real crack off a | :11:24. | :11:33. | |
loose ball. St Mirren defender Mc Cosland did | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
well to clear the danger, but Croft's finish, impressive stuff. | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
Croft seemed in the mood, this time turning provider to allow Murray | :11:45. | :11:54. | |
Davidson to try his luck from 20 yards. Davidson's effort not too | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
far away, it seemed to take a slight deflection. St Johnstone | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
were on the attack again, this time curtesy of a slack pass by St | :12:06. | :12:16. | |
:12:16. | :12:17. | ||
Mirren's Thomson. Sampson got down well. Neat build- | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
up play from St Johnstone, Sampson, more than equal to the task. The | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
home side did threaten, the ball falling here for Graham Carey, who | :12:29. | :12:37. | |
wasn't too far away. St Johnstone keeper wasn't taking | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
any chances, the shot just wide, though. At the other end, Sampson | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
continued to keep the visitors at bay. | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
The St Mirren keeper did well here. And again. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
A double effort, but Sampson, more than alert. | :13:02. | :13:12. | |
:13:12. | :13:13. | ||
St Johnstone's hunger to get the ball was ever evident, Sandaza | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
showing effort and skill. Croft showing great school. The visitors | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
were threatening, once more. But while Sampson had produced save | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
after save, this wasn't his finest moment, he didn't deal with the | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
corner at all, and David McCracken reacted well. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
With all his saves, prior to the goal, this was an unfortunate | :13:38. | :13:48. | |
:13:48. | :13:48. | ||
moment for Sampson, as St Johnstone went 2-0 up after 76 minutes. | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
The win was well and truly sealed nine minutes later. Davidson's | :13:54. | :14:04. | |
:14:04. | :14:07. | ||
header sent them on the way. The Spaniard pulling the trigger at the | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
right moment for his 16th goal of the season, St Johnstone make a | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
the season, St Johnstone make a push for Europe. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
It is fizzling out a bit for St Mirren, it promised much in the | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
first half. They contributed big time to their own downfall. They | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
are a team that likes to play from the back. Sometimes can you | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
overplay, a bad mistake there. Take nothing away from Croft, that is | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
figure any of sent across the goal keeper, great strike. Their own | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
problems, slack passing, it looks like St Johnstone have punished | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
them every time they have made a mistake. They didn't seem to learn | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
from their experiences here, did they? No, obvious low they tried to | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
pass the ball well and properly and from the back. In this match they | :14:54. | :15:03. | |
made some torbl errors, St -- horrible errors and St Johnstone's | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
were punishing them. St Mirren have match where is they passed the ball | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
tremenduously well, but too many passes at the back, Sampson not | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
having his best moment there. Giving an easy goal away. It didn't | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
happen for St Mirren, but all credit to St Johnstone. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
A team with not much money to throw about, to qualify for Europe now, | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
which seems likely, is some achievement? It is well within | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
their grasp, I think they will get it. They have a powerful team with | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
a fair bit of experience in that team, that is needed in the top six. | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
The final matches. Sandaza has had a long wait to get | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
to 15 goals. Was he thrown by the whole Rangers episode, it didn't | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
happen and it took him a while to settle down again. It might have | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
affected him, but strikers are always having a confidence thing. | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
If you don't score for five games the confidence goes a bit. He skill | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
scored 15 goals, remarkable, for somebody at a club like St Johnson. | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
They play really -- St Johnstone, they play really good football. | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
That was number 14 seven weeks ago, a delay in goals, was he put off? | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
think he has been affected, that is the way it goes. Sometimes you have | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
a bit of a lean spell, and you might have chances, but they just | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
don't go in. I remember that well, too well. | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
Then the goals come in sixes and sevens, he mighting be on a run now. | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
I don't remember you scoring at sixes and sevens! | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
The last fortnight for crisis club Rangers has been on and offfield. | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
The match making it three Ibrox defeat was against the Dundee | :17:04. | :17:14. | |

United team who knocked thefpl out scored for the club against Dundee | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:14. | ||
United. on display for Rangers, there is no | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
doubting the quality, it is the cohesion that Ally McCoist will be | :18:16. | :18:26. | |
:18:26. | :18:44. | ||
looking for, that is a nice move. He worked himself free, and he | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
showed good skill and persistence. Little again was available, but he | :18:48. | :18:55. | |
went himself to ease the defence. Just jabbed it wide. | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
Some of the long throw. Keith Watson what a strike for | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
Keith wattson, he couldn't have hit it any better, Dundee United are | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
ahead after 37 minutes. A Longstreet throw into the box | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
Rangers seemed to deal with, but Watton -- wattson won't hit a | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
better strike. His second goal for United. | :19:27. | :19:37. | |
:19:37. | :19:50. | ||
McGregor did well to get a hand on John Daly, 2-0, United have scored | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
once in the last six games in the SPL against Rangers, they are 2-0 | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
up after 47 minutes, Gary Mackay, a great run and drive, and John Daly, | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
head of Wallace. United's stop goal scorer now on 18 for the season, | :20:07. | :20:17. | |
:20:17. | :20:17. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :20:17. | :20:59. | |
Dundee United are two ahead. A are back in the match. Through | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
Ssone Aluko, it may have taken a bit of deflection off John Rankin, | :21:03. | :21:08. | |
look how it takes the crowd up. Ssone Aluko does what he was asked | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
to do, come on and make a difference for Rangers, lovely nt | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
nutmeg, and he firmed the corner of the net. | :21:17. | :21:27. | |
:21:27. | :21:57. | ||
Great skill from Ssone Aluko, McGregor. | :21:57. | :22:04. | |
Dillon yet to score this season. Rangers continue to push. | :22:04. | :22:14. | |
They have had plenty of possession, not enough chances. | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
He was looking for the top corner, but couldn't bring it down. | :22:20. | :22:26. | |
McCabe had a great ball into the box, this is great control. Over | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
:22:36. | :22:36. | ||
and away, Andrew Little almost made It says much of Rangers problems | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
that Dundee United were well below their best and still won. This goal | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
lifted them just before half time from Keith Watson. He just comes | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
out and won't head it any better than that, McGregor has no chance | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
here, the power on it. The front of the foot, the laces. Sometimes they | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
end up in row Z, but you couldn't have had it any better. This was | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
really pretty much the only moment of true quality in the first half. | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
United went on to win 2-1. They are on a great run, they have real | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
momentum going for them. One of your old teams? Seven unbeaten in | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
the SPL. A goal each from their four straight wins in the SPL. | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
Peter Hewson has done a great job reshaping them? They lost a few | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
influential players last summer, it took a wee while for them to gel in, | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
and now they are firing on all cylinders, they are playing really, | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
really well. They are scoring goals for fun, creating chances. I think | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
that the partnership up front, Russell and Daly has been abs | :23:45. | :23:54. | |
loutly lethal. -- absolutely lethal. It is good to sigh. But -- to see. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
But Rangers had a very inexperienced side out today, which | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
is also positive, and some how, towards the future. Obvious low | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
their season is gone now. Europe is not an option for them, next season, | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
why not bed in and see how youngsters cope in this season. So | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
to see whether they will be used next season. I think this makes | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
your point when we look at the way Rangers started the season. This | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
was the team that started against Hearts after unfurling the flag. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
This was the team that started yesterday. Only four remaining. It | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
says it all. As you say, opportunity knocks? Obviously | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
people are saying there are some experienced players on the bench, | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
but, you know, why not see the youngsters, and the players that we | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
have not seen too much before this season, performing, and how good | :24:46. | :24:55. | |
they are. Regarding the future. word for Scott Severn, he won't | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
play formally again with Aberdeen and Hearts? A former team-mate, he | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
was really underrated as a player. It is a shame that he has had to | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
give up. I think it was a double leg break this season, it has not | :25:08. | :25:16. | |
healed the way he wanted it to. He has been a terrific over the years. | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
It was Motherwell against Aberdeen in Craig park, Craig Brown's team | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
won to reach the semifinals and stretch their unbeaten run to 13 | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
:25:37. | :25:38. | ||
Could be a chance for Fallon, what a volley. | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
It is a straight red card for Leslie. | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
:25:51. | :25:58. | ||
A low ball missed by the goalkeeper. last weekend's victory at Fir Park, | :25:58. | :26:05. | |
in the Scottish Cup. Back now on SPL business. That is Fallon. | :26:05. | :26:15. | |
:26:15. | :26:28. | ||
Vernon. Taken out of play there. | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
Claiming that he won the ball. I don't think he was anywhere near it. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
That might be a booking for the Aberdeen skipper. And he's | :26:42. | :26:51. | |
:26:52. | :27:00. | ||
what a shot and what a goal from Stevie Hammell. He doesn't score | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
many, and he won't score many better than that one. | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
An absolute peach of a strike. A second of the season, for Stevie | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
Hammell. What a goal to open the scoring. No | :27:14. | :27:24. | |
:27:24. | :27:56. | ||
and equally good save from Randolf to keep the side in front. | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
Vernon changed the angle of his body really well to get that shot | :27:59. | :28:09. | |
:28:09. | :28:36. | ||
Randolf. Was that a handball from Jennings. Aberdeen felt it was, | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
still trying to press, but the referee turned a blind eye to this | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
one. Certainly Jennings was very close | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
to the cross coming in. Certainly strikes his arm, and a decent claim | :28:51. | :29:01. | |
:29:01. | :29:06. | ||
them out. Another really good opportunity for | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
Motherwell to make sure of the points. | :29:10. | :29:19. | |
Humphreys final ball wasn't up to A really good win for Motherwell | :29:19. | :29:24. | |
with key players missing. It seems to have been a weekend for | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
a fullbacks scoring collectors' item goals. Step up Stevie Hammell. | :29:30. | :29:35. | |
He has a fantastic left foot here is a good example of it. Sweet | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
strike, curling away from the goal keeper, no chance. I think it is | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
one of those hits, as soon as you hit it you know it is a goal. | :29:42. | :29:47. | |
Wonderful to see. It is looking like a disappointing bottom half | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
finish for your old team, Aberdeen. The Scottish cup might bring them | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
some joy? That is their best chance of keeping the season alive, a | :29:56. | :30:01. | |
semifinal against Hibs. I was at the game last year in the quarter | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
final, they played really well. Craig will be disappointed in the | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
league form, they have done a great job since I went there, Craig and | :30:08. | :30:13. | |
Archie. It is a remarkable looking league table, when you see | :30:13. | :30:17. | |
Motherwell level now with Rangers in second spot. | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
You would imagine near certainties for Champions League qualifiers for | :30:22. | :30:27. | |
the rest of the season? They deserve to be there, they have been | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
fantastic throughout the season. Passing the ball, playing fantastic | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
stuff, scoring loads of goals. They have a really good side together, | :30:34. | :30:38. | |
and playing well together. So, you know, I'm not surprised they are up | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
there. Celtic will have the chance to win | :30:42. | :30:50. | |
the title at high Brookes next Sunday, unless, Motherwell -- Ibrox | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
next Sunday, unless Motherwell can stop it? They have had a great | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
season, they have done a terrific job there. They play good football, | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
a passing game, good young players, a little bit of experience. I'm | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
sure Motherwell will try to get a good result next week. Is it | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
frightening and exciting for Motherwell to be going into the | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
draw with big names they start of next season? I think it is exciting, | :31:15. | :31:22. | |
not too frightening. They know they won't be there, the big named team | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
in that draw. Any scalp that they will get next season in Europe, it | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
is pretty certain they will qualify for Europe now. It is a bonus. I | :31:32. | :31:36. | |
think they are looking forward to that already. | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
The first silverwear of the Scottish season was handed out | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
earlier today live on the BBC. It was Celtic against kill Americanic | :31:44. | :31:54. | |
:31:54. | :31:54. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :31:54. | :32:37. | |
in the Scottish Communities League what the centre back is thinking | :32:37. | :32:43. | |
about. I'm just about to say, take no chances, clear your lines, | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
passes straight there, he should score. Chances do not come any | :32:47. | :32:57. | |
:32:57. | :33:12. | ||
a save, the first one was a good, that is a terrific header back | :33:12. | :33:22. | |
:33:22. | :33:40. | ||
great piece of goalkeeping. Look at the bodies they get forward to | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
cause problems Dean Shiels wants to cut on to his stronger foot, that | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
is a good save. Shiels has looked the most likely | :33:48. | :33:58. | |
:33:58. | :33:58. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 42 seconds | :33:58. | :35:08. | |
up front for Kilmarnock so far. performance the goalkeepers have | :35:08. | :35:18. | |
:35:18. | :35:19. | ||
done it. There is Mani Pascalli, sitting | :35:19. | :35:24. | |
this one out. Gloating yesterday on a well known website about the | :35:25. | :35:31. | |
rugby. Shiels is off there, headed away by | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
Wilson. What a chance for Dean Shiels. | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
The very man Kilmarnock would want to do this challenge. Their coolest | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
finisher, can't believe he gets through, gets the break of the ball, | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
pick your spot, miss kick turning into a pass, an incredible miss, | :35:49. | :35:58. | |
:35:59. | :36:00. | ||
from there you would fancy Dean Shiels to hit the back of the net. | :36:00. | :36:06. | |
Tipped over by that man Bell again. He's having a great afternoon. This | :36:06. | :36:09. | |
is not the most difficult save he will face. He does the right thing, | :36:09. | :36:19. | |
:36:19. | :36:32. | ||
half minutes to go. And Kilmarnock, through have taken | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
the lead at Hampden, and stunned Celtic, and may well have ended | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
their treble hopes. It is a brilliant goal from Kilmarnock | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
because of the ambition they showed. You see how many men they have in | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
the box here as they move from back to front. It is easy for players to | :36:48. | :36:53. | |
not make up the ground. There are four bodies in the box. Terrific | :36:53. | :37:01. | |
ball into the back post, the Belgian bullets it home. Fantastic | :37:01. | :37:09. | |
ball, great finish by a terrific header. | :37:09. | :37:19. | |
:37:19. | :37:19. | ||
Three minutes plus injury time. Samaras saved by Bell gip and again. | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
-- again and again. Unbelievable afternoon he has had. Samaras | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
cannot hit this any better, goes across the keeper, asks the | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
question, and Cameron Bell has produced the answer. When it comes | :37:32. | :37:39. | |
out, another chance for Collins, hits it well and then again. | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
Two-and-a-half minutes left of the Scottish Communities League Cup | :37:42. | :37:49. | |
Final. This is the chance, the keeper goes down. He's going to | :37:49. | :37:54. | |
book Stokes for diving, a massive call, right at the end in stoppage | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
time. That's a huge decision by the | :37:57. | :38:03. | |
referee. He's very close. But is there any touch at all here. | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
Anthony Stokes nicks the ball, can't see it from here. But the | :38:07. | :38:13. | |
referee, who is coming down the back there, this is the referee's | :38:13. | :38:19. | |
views. I tell you what, big decision he has made. | :38:19. | :38:26. | |
Surely, surely it's done. Kenny Shiels looks on. | :38:26. | :38:36. | |
:38:36. | :38:36. | ||
Nerves jaingling. It is a goal kick, time is up, Kilmarnock have won the | :38:36. | :38:46. | |
:38:46. | :38:56. | ||
2012 Scottish Communities League This afternoon, Kilmarnock are the | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
2012 Scottish Communities League Cup winners, what a moment for them. | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
And what a moment for the club, and indeed, that man there, Kenny | :39:03. | :39:12. | |
Shiels, in his first season as Kilmarnock boss. He has led them to | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
silverwear. Fantastic victory for the club, Celtic are a fantastic | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
team, to come here and beat them. We haven't conceded a goal in the | :39:21. | :39:23. | |
whole tournament. It is Dieter Van Tornhout's birthday today, I threw | :39:23. | :39:29. | |
him on because you never know, these things happen. And we're | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
taking a cut back to Kelly. I know Celtic will go on to prosper, they | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
are a young team, they deserve so much credit for what they have done | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
this season. Everyone sung up the treble, and the treble and the | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
treble, it put pressure on the Celtic players, what was a little | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
bit unfair. But we used it to our advantage. It is a clear penalty, | :39:50. | :39:56. | |
he has not dived, Nelson has made no contact with the ball. Stokes is | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
clear through and he gets brought down, it is the last minute of a | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
game in a Cup Final. It could have cost Nelson a red card, I don't | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
want to see people sent off. You talk about big decisions in big | :40:07. | :40:12. | |
games. That one has certainly gone against us. For me you don't see | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
many more clear cut penalties than that. | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
A sensational Sunday for Kilmarnock, sad news when Liam Kelly's father | :40:20. | :40:22. | |
collapsed, our thoughts are with the family. | :40:22. | :40:28. | |
On the football front a happy day. As the former manager, who handed | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
the reins over to Kenny Shiels, on Radio Scotland this afternoon, you | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
must have enjoyed that? An exciting match, both teams playing really | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
well. Celtic started really well, in minutes they were all over | :40:42. | :40:46. | |
Kilmarnock, Kilmarnock made some bad mistakes in the beginning of | :40:46. | :40:51. | |
the match. But once they changed their shape, they started to pass | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
the ball the way they can, and started creating chances, and in | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
the end I thought they were worthy winners. It was a birthday that | :41:00. | :41:05. | |
Dieter Van Tornhout won't forget in a hurry, maybe the Celtic defence | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
won't forget it in a hurry, they didn't cover themselves in glory? | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
He tracks Johnson's run far too late for me. He has to stop the | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
cross, but if you look at Kelvin Wilson's position, you can't see | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
the striker behind him. There is a lot right isn't there from a | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
colonic point of view? It is a fantastic goal. On his weaker side, | :41:29. | :41:33. | |
a striker's dream, a great ball in, you can't miss from there. | :41:33. | :41:38. | |
Kilmarnock were terrific, he this played really well. It was a great | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
result for them. There has been a lot of talk since the final whistle | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
about the decision not to give a penalty here and to book Anthony | :41:48. | :41:54. | |
Stokes for diving, how did you see it? Why would a striker, a goal | :41:54. | :41:59. | |
scorer dive on a six yard line, when you know, only the goalkeeper | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
was to beat. I don't think this is a dive, I think there is contact | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
definitely there, but the way he goes down, I think makes the | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
referee's mind up it is a dive, because both his feet are in the | :42:10. | :42:16. | |
air there. I must say that there is contact there, and it could have | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
been given the penalty, obviously Neil Lennon is saying it is a | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
definite penalty and there is contact, and it probably because | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
brought down, but the referee didn't give it. | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
What did you think? I think it is a stone waller, I think the referee | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
has made a mistake, it is the last minute of the game. Why does | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
Anthony Stokes want to go down there? He's ready to pull the | :42:38. | :42:42. | |
trigger, you would fancy him to score, the referee has it wrong | :42:42. | :42:50. | |
there. What a game Cameron Bell had, right from the opening few minutes. | :42:50. | :43:00. | |
What a stop? Great, he's so sharp. Closing Hooper down here, narrowing | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
the angles, Bell's so cut out there big time. For me, Cameron Bell was | :43:04. | :43:10. | |
a man of the match. He was absolutely brilliant, this is the | :43:10. | :43:14. | |
Gordon Banks material. Fantastic save, good header, from the | :43:14. | :43:20. | |
textbook, you know, he's a fantastic short stopper. No | :43:20. | :43:24. | |
question about that. That wasn't the only one. This is a great | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
strike from Brown. And tips you over the bar. | :43:29. | :43:34. | |
Excellent save. OK it is straight at him. So it isn't as spectacular | :43:34. | :43:41. | |
as he looks. Nevertheless, a great save again. You won't be surprised | :43:42. | :43:45. | |
that The Killing fans are having a big night, and the players having a | :43:45. | :43:48. |
