A day of drama as Rangers go into administration... Today is a sad | 0:00:21 | 0:00:29 | |
day, as we address the uncertainty hanging over the club... I want | 0:00:29 | 0:00:34 | |
that club to survive and to thrive... | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
It is not the end of the world although people at Ibrox may feel | 0:00:37 | 0:00:47 | |
0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | ||
that way. Craig Whyte is in a very advantageous position. Glasgow | 0:00:48 | 0:00:56 | |
Rangers will not shut. It is the fans that will keep it open. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:04 | |
I can read -- reassured the fans that we will emerge greater. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:10 | |
Lots of questions and not many answers. We are back to business | 0:01:10 | 0:01:20 | |
0:01:20 | 0:01:20 | ||
tonight. You will see all the SPL action. First, another dramatic day | 0:01:20 | 0:01:30 | |
0:01:30 | 0:01:35 | ||
Ibrox yesterday, with the club in crisis. The game against Kilmarnock | 0:01:35 | 0:01:41 | |
or sold out as Rangers plunged into administration. -- was sold out. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
Supporters are angry at the financial mismanagement of the club. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
There are supportive of the job Ally McCoist is doing against all | 0:01:50 | 0:02:00 | |
0:02:00 | 0:02:11 | ||
odds. At the match was our a chance for Rangers. But the man | 0:02:11 | 0:02:21 | |
0:02:21 | 0:02:35 | ||
who came closest to the opening goal for Kilmarnock! They have | 0:02:35 | 0:02:45 | |
0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | ||
needlessly. That was the start of the problems. Shields increased | 0:02:50 | 0:03:00 | |
0:03:00 | 0:03:12 | ||
them. He picked out his strike have done better there. You can | 0:03:12 | 0:03:22 | |
0:03:22 | 0:03:53 | ||
tell by the look on his face that has to test the keeper from here. | 0:03:53 | 0:04:03 | |
0:04:03 | 0:04:24 | ||
It was offside. Extremely close. It was a good finish. The goal does | 0:04:24 | 0:04:34 | |
0:04:34 | 0:04:34 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds | 0:04:34 | 0:05:32 | |
Rangers are looking for an card. A rueful smile on the face of | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
the Bosnian. A heavy touch there. You can see why the red-carded | 0:05:38 | 0:05:47 | |
0:05:48 | 0:06:08 | ||
penalty, though, given the distance from the player to ball. No | 0:06:08 | 0:06:18 | |
0:06:18 | 0:06:18 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds | 0:06:18 | 0:06:58 | |
wrong with that. Rangers, We all wanted to get three points | 0:06:58 | 0:07:04 | |
for the supporters, that is what we wanted. It goes without saying | 0:07:05 | 0:07:12 | |
whether to try to win games at the best of times. But today is really, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
really painful. Really painful for Rangers, but | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
pleasurable for Kilmarnock, your old team. Played some fantastic | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
football yesterday. The goal summed it up. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
Yeah, but I must say that the way Rangers' supporters cannot was | 0:07:30 | 0:07:40 | |
0:07:40 | 0:07:40 | ||
fantastic. -- came out. They have beaten Rangers before. The goal is | 0:07:40 | 0:07:50 | |
0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | ||
a fantastic passing move. A nice, He takes it early. That makes it | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
more difficult to save. It was not a lucky win, when you | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
look back at the lucky chances Kilmarnock had to add to that goal. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
Three of them were in the first half. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
Rangers started the game really fast and make sure that Kilmarnock | 0:08:11 | 0:08:21 | |
0:08:21 | 0:08:33 | ||
the shot. This was James Fowler. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:41 | |
He made some fantastic runs from He made some fantastic runs from | 0:08:41 | 0:08:47 | |
the midfield. He did not need to put any power on that. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
Nonetheless, a good, passing performance from Kilmarnock. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:57 | |
So the damage to Rangers could have been worse. Disappointingly there | 0:08:57 | 0:09:02 | |
was a return to the sectarian singing for which Rangers have been | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
gained -- given punishment. Some of it was directed towards the referee, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:12 | |
and these may be three reasons why. Firstly, the offside given against | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
Firstly, the offside given against them. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:23 | |
0:09:23 | 0:09:34 | ||
It looks like their level -- they question about that. I think he | 0:09:34 | 0:09:42 | |
knows it straight away. I would not quit a red mist, but it was a | 0:09:42 | 0:09:50 | |
reckless tackle. Just as well be Kilmarnock player jumped. What was | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
wrong with this? I can't see anything wrong, to be honest. I | 0:09:56 | 0:10:04 | |
think James Fowler's reaction is significant. He has been told, he | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
thinks he has been held here. He walks away like nothing. These | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
walks away like nothing. These things happen. There's a foul every | 0:10:14 | 0:10:20 | |
time there would be no goals scored from corner kicks. I did get the | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
feeling yesterday that Rangers could have scored and changed the | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
complexion of the game. Especially an early goal. It would have | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
changed the game completely. Fair play to Kilmarnock. They went there | 0:10:32 | 0:10:41 | |
with nothing to lose. They passed Rangers in crisis is a massive | 0:10:41 | 0:10:48 | |
story. But you were saying that it is going around the world. Yes it | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
is unbelievable that such a club like Rangers can go into | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
administration. We had a press conference last week in Finland, | 0:10:57 | 0:11:03 | |
leading to the Austria game and the journalists asked me what I thought | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
about the situation at Rangers. Astonishing. Because Rangers and | 0:11:08 | 0:11:15 | |
Celtic are regarded as big, secure clubs. All over Europe and all over | 0:11:15 | 0:11:22 | |
the world. With a fantastic support. It is astonishing that we're where | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
we're. When you Lesmahagow Kilmarnock, you left your assistant | 0:11:26 | 0:11:32 | |
-- when you left Kilmarnock, you left your assistant Kenny Shiels in | 0:11:32 | 0:11:38 | |
charge. There was a missing hand slake here. There was a lot said | 0:11:38 | 0:11:46 | |
between those two before that match. Kenny is a good honest guy and full | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
hearted. He needs to work on his celebration. It is not quite Jose | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
Mourinho style yet. But he has fantastic ideas about football. He | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
is a good coach and wants to play football in the right manner. And | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
you know, we all say things sometimes that maybe we regret | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
after, but you know all in all, Kenny's a good guy. Kilmarnock are | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
in the League Cup final and that win makes it back-to-back wins for | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
Rangers for the first time in more than 50 years. Unbelievable. To | 0:12:19 | 0:12:28 | |
beat you know the Old Firm twice in a season is a fantastic achievement. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:35 | |
Pasquale has been a revelation there as well. Such a reliable | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
defender. And could Kilmarnock be a big problem for Celtic at Hamilton | 0:12:39 | 0:12:47 | |
in a month? It will be interesting. -- Hampden. I think Kilmarnock will | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
stick to their plan of passing the ball. Usual think Cup Finals the | 0:12:52 | 0:12:59 | |
way they go is that the - usually the Cup Finals, the Old Firm start | 0:12:59 | 0:13:04 | |
passing it early doors and the other team doesn't get hold of it. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:11 | |
But Kilmarnock will be 3-0 up at Rugby Park against Celtic earlier. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:18 | |
So it will be a special final. Rangers's first defeat handed | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
Celtic an opportunity to open up a 17-point advantage if they xould | 0:13:23 | 0:13:32 | |
17-point advantage if they xould beat Hibs at Easter Road. Hibs had | 0:13:32 | 0:13:42 | |
0:13:42 | 0:13:42 | ||
McPake and Hanlon back. Celtic's Majstorovic won his appeal against | 0:13:42 | 0:13:48 | |
last week's red card, but still lost his place in the team. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:53 | |
Highlights with Paul Mitchell. Celtic's third visit to Easter Road | 0:13:53 | 0:14:03 | |
0:14:03 | 0:14:15 | ||
back after the intervention of the keeper. Hibs almost in trouble very | 0:14:15 | 0:14:25 | |
0:14:25 | 0:14:31 | ||
for Anthony Stokes? It is hi fourth time back at Easter Road and the | 0:14:31 | 0:14:41 | |
0:14:41 | 0:14:58 | ||
fourth time he has scored. Hibs on his own with a chance A perfect | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
finish from Gary Hooper. It was two against three on the break. But | 0:15:04 | 0:15:11 | |
that didn't bother Celtic. Hooper is onside and calmly finishes. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:16 | |
Celtic two ahead after 20 minutes. It is the perfect start at Easter | 0:15:16 | 0:15:26 | |
0:15:26 | 0:15:36 | ||
This may have got Hibs back into the match. Matthews gelt too long | 0:15:36 | 0:15:46 | |
and his shot was too straight. -- gelt. Plenty of work to do for Pat | 0:15:46 | 0:15:54 | |
Fenlon. No penalty. It looked like he was touched by McPake. The | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
referee was in a good position. That look like that should have | 0:15:58 | 0:16:08 | |
0:16:08 | 0:16:13 | ||
to take responsibility. Everyone sat off and Hibs were almost | 0:16:13 | 0:16:21 | |
punished again. Ten minutes into the second half and more danger for | 0:16:21 | 0:16:26 | |
Hibs. Mulgrew with a trade mark free kick. 3-0 Celtic and it is | 0:16:26 | 0:16:32 | |
looking like a trade mark result for Celtic here at Easter Road. The | 0:16:32 | 0:16:42 | |
0:16:42 | 0:16:53 | ||
keeper took a step to the left and offside when the ball was played | 0:16:53 | 0:16:59 | |
through. A delightful back Lilles and Stokes read it well. The Celtic | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
fans are celebrating this performance at Easter Road. They | 0:17:01 | 0:17:11 | |
0:17:11 | 0:17:21 | ||
may not be too far from celebrating It bounced in front of Graham Stack | 0:17:21 | 0:17:27 | |
who, should have saved it. Hooper's second today. It is Celtic's fourth | 0:17:27 | 0:17:32 | |
and it is an error from the keeper. It took a bad bounce, but Stack | 0:17:32 | 0:17:37 | |
should have stopped it. That is a familiar feeling for some of these | 0:17:38 | 0:17:47 | |
0:17:48 | 0:17:59 | ||
the last five against Celtic in the SPL. It was a good ball back in by | 0:17:59 | 0:18:09 | |
0:18:09 | 0:18:25 | ||
will lose out to Forster at the second attempt. Wilson could have | 0:18:25 | 0:18:32 | |
just played this away. He tried to be clever and Gary O'Connor had two | 0:18:32 | 0:18:42 | |
0:18:42 | 0:19:06 | ||
five at Easter Road and Ki is the scorer. There was no doubt that | 0:19:06 | 0:19:11 | |
Commons was going for goal. Into the path of Ki and Celtic are | 0:19:11 | 0:19:19 | |
looking at their biggest win over Hibs in over eight years. Ki sends | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
it in, Ledley with the herd. And Osbourne send it away. This was | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
Osbourne send it away. This was nearly No 6. The Celtic fans now | 0:19:28 | 0:19:34 | |
talking about when they win the title and they are six wins from | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
the Championship, if Rangers don't drop points. Well it is all over. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
Celtic will win the title this year and what a fantastic performance | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
today. They were so strong. The way they put those chances away, like | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
nothing today, it was unbelievable. When I was watching this match | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
today I thought that Rangers, you know I was surprised that Rangers | 0:19:58 | 0:20:02 | |
didn't start like that yesterday. Take the grip of the game and | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
dominate and boss out there and create chances and take them. But | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
you know Celtic were fantastic today. The turn around is | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
incredible at the top of the SPL. Enyou look back to 5th November | 0:20:16 | 0:20:20 | |
when Rangers had a 15 point when Rangers had a 15 point | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
advantage over Celtic. Motherwell were three ahead of Celtic at that | 0:20:23 | 0:20:31 | |
stage. So from there, to now, and it's a 32 point turn around. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
Obviously including the ten point deduction for Rangers going into | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
administration and the momentum is all with Celtic. Yeah it is. But | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
Motherwell are still there. They're still in the equation. And strongly | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
and you know, if Rangers don't get their books in order, before a | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
certain date, Motherwell might be looking for a Champions League spot. | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
The five goals tell us about the quality of the Celtic performance. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
Which you were describing and maybe a lack of quality from Hibs? Yes it | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
was a great corner. The keeper, Stack, couldn't come for it. Here | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
we go, Hooper a chance and he buries it. This, I'm not sure | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
whether Stack makes a right decision. He is moving behind the | 0:21:19 | 0:21:24 | |
wall and he is a bit soft. Graham Stark didn't have the best of days. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:29 | |
But he can't do anything about that. That is just, Ki was surprised that | 0:21:29 | 0:21:35 | |
he got a touch. But all round, so strong. Every position, the way | 0:21:35 | 0:21:41 | |
Celtic played, they were so strong and totally bossed the game. You're | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
a former Hibs player and manager, what do you make of the job Pat | 0:21:45 | 0:21:52 | |
Fenlon has been able to do so far. He said today, we're in a dodgy | 0:21:52 | 0:21:58 | |
situation. Well it is a very alarming situation they're in. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
Dunfermline, they have got plenty fighting spirit. They levelled with | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
points at the moment. Only four goals better goal difference Hibs | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
have against Dunfermline. So you know looking at the performance | 0:22:12 | 0:22:20 | |
today, I didn't see any real fighting spirit from Hibs players. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:26 | |
In previous matches, Hibs defence has been much more solid. Today, | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
Celtic players were wide-open all over the pitch and Celtic passed | 0:22:30 | 0:22:36 | |
the ball for fun. So they need to tighten up. I do believe that Hibs | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
have plenty fire power to score goals and maybe win those two or | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
three matches that are necessary. But so can Dunfermline. They're | 0:22:44 | 0:22:49 | |
difficult to play against and they play as a unit, the whole team. So | 0:22:49 | 0:22:59 | |
0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | ||
Motherwell could chase a second- place finish in the SPD -- SPL. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:12 | |
0:23:12 | 0:23:28 | ||
There was some Champion League chat good second save from Jamie | 0:23:28 | 0:23:38 | |
0:23:38 | 0:24:10 | ||
got rid of the ball and he was shot away and was just off target. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:20 | |
0:24:20 | 0:24:42 | ||
ahead after 37 minutes. It will go down as an own goal. It was pushed | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
away by the goalkeeper, but the shot came off Andy Webster and | 0:24:46 | 0:24:56 | |
0:24:56 | 0:25:12 | ||
Motherwell, for the first time this play to half-time. A great looping | 0:25:12 | 0:25:22 | |
0:25:22 | 0:25:49 | ||
Webster flung his but at the ball. yellow card and he has gone off. He | 0:25:49 | 0:25:59 | |
0:25:59 | 0:26:15 | ||
was sent off against Hearts here in waiting for him. The keeper came | 0:26:15 | 0:26:24 | |
out and made the block and he wasted no time in tipping it in. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:34 | |
0:26:34 | 0:26:34 | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds | 0:26:34 | 0:28:11 | |
Law... 3-02 Motherwell! -- 3-02 have been four. He knows it. That | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
is the kind of smile you can only is the kind of smile you can only | 0:28:14 | 0:28:21 | |
have when you know you are 3-0 up. There of different ways for | 0:28:21 | 0:28:25 | |
Motherwell to be in the European competition next year. One is if | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
Rangers are barred. Another is if Motherwell get second spot | 0:28:29 | 0:28:34 | |
themselves. That must be exciting. Also frightening. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:39 | |
Motherwell have done so well this season. They have plenty of | 0:28:39 | 0:28:43 | |
positivity. Whatever they get, they deserve it. They have been | 0:28:43 | 0:28:53 | |
0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | ||
fantastic. The team plays very much like when the manager was a player. | 0:28:55 | 0:29:02 | |
They have plenty of positivity. It is great to see. They destroyed | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
Hearts yesterday. It was 3-0 but Hearts yesterday. It was 3-0 but | 0:29:05 | 0:29:15 | |
may be going on four or five. A bit of luck there, but if you are | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |
there and shooting, you win the prize. A great glancing header here | 0:29:19 | 0:29:29 | |
0:29:29 | 0:29:45 | ||
dribble. He is a good player. He is strong, technical. A good finish | 0:29:45 | 0:29:55 | |
0:29:55 | 0:30:06 | ||
Another fantastic, positive, convincing performance from | 0:30:06 | 0:30:15 | |
Motherwell. They have a chance to go on to | 0:30:15 | 0:30:20 | |
within three points of Rangers. What about the sending-off? You can | 0:30:20 | 0:30:25 | |
see how his leg moves on the impact. see how his leg moves on the impact. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
Maybe there was a connection. Difficult to see from this angle, | 0:30:28 | 0:30:35 | |
but let's give the referee the benefit. He is well positioned. He | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
benefit. He is well positioned. He felt there was contact. Like you | 0:30:39 | 0:30:46 | |
said, he is an excellent player, has been very important for them. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:53 | |
Did I hear you Wright - D do say to give the referee the benefit? | 0:30:53 | 0:30:57 | |
I did say that! Leads have a look at another couple | 0:30:57 | 0:31:04 | |
of games. Jonathan Sutherland has the best of the action against -- | 0:31:04 | 0:31:14 | |
0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | ||
from Dundee United and also Dunfermline at the moment. Some | 0:31:18 | 0:31:25 | |
hesitant defending saw them in danger of going behind. Jim | 0:31:25 | 0:31:30 | |
Macintyre's side is in need of a positive result. But in villas were | 0:31:30 | 0:31:38 | |
the more positive side early on. -- Inverness. A blistering run from | 0:31:38 | 0:31:46 | |
Joe Cardle gave the SPL's bottom side some hope. He was then taken | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
unceremoniously out. Not much doubt about the free kick. From the dead | 0:31:50 | 0:31:58 | |
ball, they hit the crossbar. When the ball fell, he smashed it | 0:31:58 | 0:32:04 | |
through the legs of the goalkeeper. That was his sixth goal of the | 0:32:04 | 0:32:11 | |
season. Dunfermline were up at the break. Could this be the day? | 0:32:11 | 0:32:16 | |
In the second half, a mistake from David Proctor gave Andy Kirk a | 0:32:16 | 0:32:24 | |
chance to run at goal. But the shot was sent past the post. Some | 0:32:24 | 0:32:31 | |
practical advice from the manager - not quite sure what it meant. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:40 | |
Another chance came but the shot went wide. Terry Butcher was in | 0:32:40 | 0:32:50 | |
0:32:50 | 0:32:57 | ||
knows -- no mood to see his side delight. Yet more misery on the | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
home turf for Dunfermline just as it seemed they might be on the | 0:33:01 | 0:33:11 | |
0:33:11 | 0:33:20 | ||
tried to twist the knife. But it finished in a drawer, Dunfermline | 0:33:20 | 0:33:30 | |
0:33:30 | 0:33:36 | ||
with just one victory in their last But the match was not devoid of | 0:33:36 | 0:33:44 | |
incident. The penalty shout was on the soft side. Stuart Armstrong | 0:33:44 | 0:33:51 | |
went to ground, but not enough in it for the referee. | 0:33:51 | 0:34:01 | |
0:34:01 | 0:34:10 | ||
From a free kick, this header wins was an optimistic claim for a | 0:34:10 | 0:34:18 | |
penalty. Johnnie Russell was the man to take a tumble. The referee | 0:34:18 | 0:34:28 | |
0:34:28 | 0:34:36 | ||
between Mair and the keeper Samson almost led to a goal, before Samson | 0:34:36 | 0:34:44 | |
swept the ball away from Mackay Steven. Peter Houston described the | 0:34:44 | 0:34:49 | |
game as brutal. Danny Lennon said it made his eyes sore! There was | 0:34:49 | 0:34:54 | |
the odd flicker of quality, this shot from Russell produced a great | 0:34:54 | 0:35:00 | |
save from Samson. Russell looking increasingly dangerous as the | 0:35:00 | 0:35:10 | |
season goes on. St Mirren are a tad toothless, without a goal in three. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:16 | |
This saw that record stretch to four. Hasselbaink almost made the | 0:35:16 | 0:35:22 | |
break through, but 0-0 is how it break through, but 0-0 is how it | 0:35:22 | 0:35:29 | |
finished. My eyes are pretty sore as well. What about Dunfermline it | 0:35:29 | 0:35:35 | |
is an incredible statistic, they haven't won all season long in all | 0:35:35 | 0:35:45 | |
competitions. I don't think jimp McIntyre -- Jim McIntyre likes us | 0:35:45 | 0:35:49 | |
talking about it either. But looking at that, plenty of | 0:35:49 | 0:35:54 | |
opportunities to go 2-0 up and maybe clinch the first victory at | 0:35:54 | 0:35:59 | |
home. But if you don't score from those, then you always get a chance, | 0:35:59 | 0:36:03 | |
the opposition to come back and get level terms. Inverness are never | 0:36:03 | 0:36:09 | |
easy to play. How Terry and Maurice set their stall out, the team out, | 0:36:09 | 0:36:17 | |
it is difficult to play against and they have got a good away point. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:22 | |
Jim McIntyre has remained positive, his feeling is as long as they're | 0:36:22 | 0:36:27 | |
in touch and are not stranded, they in with a chance. Well they well in | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
touch. Level with Hibs. Goal difference is now down to four | 0:36:31 | 0:36:36 | |
goals. It is all to play for. Like I said, Dunfermline, they have got | 0:36:36 | 0:36:42 | |
fighting spirit. They have got togetherness and they have got real | 0:36:42 | 0:36:49 | |
hunger to survive. I can't see that, the Hibs performances of late. So I | 0:36:49 | 0:36:54 | |
am worried. I'm more worried how Hibs are going about, than | 0:36:54 | 0:36:59 | |
Dunfermline. You say that they haven't won at home, but you know, | 0:36:59 | 0:37:05 | |
one sunny day they will. Aberdeen played St Johnston today with the | 0:37:05 | 0:37:12 | |
pair having had mixed fortune in pair having had mixed fortune in | 0:37:12 | 0:37:18 | |
the cup it was one in, one out. Considine scores in stoppage time | 0:37:18 | 0:37:24 | |
and Aberdeen are going to the quarter finals of the Cup. That | 0:37:24 | 0:37:33 | |
will be Hearts through and St Johnstone out. Aberdeen and St | 0:37:33 | 0:37:43 | |
0:37:43 | 0:38:01 | ||
Johnstone went head-to-head. Here That was Fyvie. This isn't far from | 0:38:01 | 0:38:11 | |
0:38:11 | 0:38:23 | ||
Fraser Fyvie. Mannus is on the Steve Lomas looking to the Sheridan | 0:38:23 | 0:38:33 | |
0:38:33 | 0:38:49 | ||
and Sandaza partnership this deadly. Not o' on target this time | 0:38:49 | 0:38:59 | |
0:38:59 | 0:39:00 | ||
-- not on target this time. It was 0-0 between the teem e teams on the | 0:39:00 | 0:39:10 | |
0:39:10 | 0:39:18 | ||
opening -- between the teams on the slipped as he went to hit it, the | 0:39:18 | 0:39:28 | |
0:39:28 | 0:39:47 | ||
Spaniard. He wasn't expecting it. We know he is capable from that | 0:39:47 | 0:39:53 | |
range. Think back to his goal at Tannadice on at new year. Took | 0:39:53 | 0:40:03 | |
0:40:03 | 0:40:30 | ||
worry for Mannus in the St Johnstone goal. He had to be quick | 0:40:30 | 0:40:40 | |
0:40:40 | 0:41:02 | ||
unlucky. Chill Ally looked as though he just lost the opportunity | 0:41:02 | 0:41:12 | |
0:41:12 | 0:41:22 | ||
break through and if they do, -- make the break through and if they | 0:41:22 | 0:41:31 | |
do, you feel it would be the winner. That may well be the final | 0:41:31 | 0:41:38 | |
opportunity of the game. A disappointing game. It looks as | 0:41:38 | 0:41:43 | |
though they will finish 0-0, as though they will finish 0-0, as | 0:41:43 | 0:41:48 | |
they did on week one. You watched that one and you probably deserve | 0:41:48 | 0:41:53 | |
an award or compensation. Aberdeen one of your old teams. With Craig | 0:41:53 | 0:41:58 | |
Brown you know that he will start at the back and they have had clean | 0:41:58 | 0:42:04 | |
sheets in five. That is what Craig is all about. He is a master in | 0:42:04 | 0:42:10 | |
setting the team not to concede. And they had chances again today to | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
win. Plenty of them. They could have scored three. I was surprised | 0:42:14 | 0:42:19 | |
that the match finished 0-0, when you look at the St Johnstone | 0:42:19 | 0:42:26 | |
strikers, you look at the chances that Aberdeen had. Maybe not quite | 0:42:26 | 0:42:32 | |
enough determination there from Vernon. Arnason with a good strike, | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
but not on target. And this chance late on could have won it. There | 0:42:36 | 0:42:42 | |
were chances in the match. But not quite the quality, or the composure | 0:42:43 | 0:42:48 | |
in front of goal. But you know, it wasn't the best of matches, but | 0:42:48 | 0:42:52 | |
there could have been goals. I like your understatement. You're | 0:42:52 | 0:42:57 | |
impressed with the squad at St Johnstone. When you look at the | 0:42:57 | 0:43:01 | |
defence, midfield and strikers, there is plenty of experience in | 0:43:01 | 0:43:09 | |
the squad, plenty skill. Good passers of the ball in midfield. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:15 | |
Davidson's energy getting forward. What they have also is a solid back | 0:43:15 | 0:43:20 | |
four. When you look at the names, more or less centre halfs all of | 0:43:20 | 0:43:26 | |
them. There is not much width. But two strikers that have been | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
prolific and that is is a pair that could score in any match. I'm not | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
surprised they up there in the surprised they up there in the | 0:43:34 | 0:43:40 | |
table. Let's have a look at the table. That massive gap of 17 | 0:43:40 | 0:43:43 | |
points between Celtic and Rangers. Motherwell within six points of | 0:43:43 | 0:43:53 | |
0:43:53 | 0:43:57 | ||
second spot with a game in hand. Midweek matches on Tuesday for | 0:43:57 | 0:44:06 | |
Dundee United and Kilmarnock. Coverage on BBC Scotland of those | 0:44:06 | 0:44:16 | |
0:44:16 | 0:44:23 | ||
