A day of drama as Rangers go into administration... Today is a sad

0:00:210:00:29

day, as we address the uncertainty hanging over the club... I want

0:00:290:00:34

that club to survive and to thrive...

0:00:340:00:37

It is not the end of the world although people at Ibrox may feel

0:00:370:00:47
0:00:470:00:48

that way. Craig Whyte is in a very advantageous position. Glasgow

0:00:480:00:56

Rangers will not shut. It is the fans that will keep it open.

0:00:560:01:04

I can read -- reassured the fans that we will emerge greater.

0:01:040:01:10

Lots of questions and not many answers. We are back to business

0:01:100:01:20
0:01:200:01:20

tonight. You will see all the SPL action. First, another dramatic day

0:01:200:01:30
0:01:300:01:35

Ibrox yesterday, with the club in crisis. The game against Kilmarnock

0:01:350:01:41

or sold out as Rangers plunged into administration. -- was sold out.

0:01:410:01:46

Supporters are angry at the financial mismanagement of the club.

0:01:460:01:50

There are supportive of the job Ally McCoist is doing against all

0:01:500:02:00
0:02:000:02:11

odds. At the match was our a chance for Rangers. But the man

0:02:110:02:21
0:02:210:02:35

who came closest to the opening goal for Kilmarnock! They have

0:02:350:02:45
0:02:450:02:50

needlessly. That was the start of the problems. Shields increased

0:02:500:03:00
0:03:000:03:12

them. He picked out his strike have done better there. You can

0:03:120:03:22
0:03:220:03:53

tell by the look on his face that has to test the keeper from here.

0:03:530:04:03
0:04:030:04:24

It was offside. Extremely close. It was a good finish. The goal does

0:04:240:04:34
0:04:340:04:34

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds

0:04:340:05:32

Rangers are looking for an card. A rueful smile on the face of

0:05:320:05:37

the Bosnian. A heavy touch there. You can see why the red-carded

0:05:380:05:47
0:05:480:06:08

penalty, though, given the distance from the player to ball. No

0:06:080:06:18
0:06:180:06:18

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds

0:06:180:06:58

wrong with that. Rangers, We all wanted to get three points

0:06:580:07:04

for the supporters, that is what we wanted. It goes without saying

0:07:050:07:12

whether to try to win games at the best of times. But today is really,

0:07:120:07:17

really painful. Really painful for Rangers, but

0:07:170:07:21

pleasurable for Kilmarnock, your old team. Played some fantastic

0:07:210:07:25

football yesterday. The goal summed it up.

0:07:250:07:30

Yeah, but I must say that the way Rangers' supporters cannot was

0:07:300:07:40
0:07:400:07:40

fantastic. -- came out. They have beaten Rangers before. The goal is

0:07:400:07:50
0:07:500:07:53

a fantastic passing move. A nice, He takes it early. That makes it

0:07:530:07:58

more difficult to save. It was not a lucky win, when you

0:07:580:08:02

look back at the lucky chances Kilmarnock had to add to that goal.

0:08:020:08:06

Three of them were in the first half.

0:08:060:08:11

Rangers started the game really fast and make sure that Kilmarnock

0:08:110:08:21
0:08:210:08:33

the shot. This was James Fowler.

0:08:330:08:41

He made some fantastic runs from He made some fantastic runs from

0:08:410:08:47

the midfield. He did not need to put any power on that.

0:08:470:08:52

Nonetheless, a good, passing performance from Kilmarnock.

0:08:520:08:57

So the damage to Rangers could have been worse. Disappointingly there

0:08:570:09:02

was a return to the sectarian singing for which Rangers have been

0:09:020:09:06

gained -- given punishment. Some of it was directed towards the referee,

0:09:060:09:12

and these may be three reasons why. Firstly, the offside given against

0:09:120:09:13

Firstly, the offside given against them.

0:09:130:09:23
0:09:230:09:34

It looks like their level -- they question about that. I think he

0:09:340:09:42

knows it straight away. I would not quit a red mist, but it was a

0:09:420:09:50

reckless tackle. Just as well be Kilmarnock player jumped. What was

0:09:500:09:56

wrong with this? I can't see anything wrong, to be honest. I

0:09:560:10:04

think James Fowler's reaction is significant. He has been told, he

0:10:040:10:09

thinks he has been held here. He walks away like nothing. These

0:10:090:10:14

walks away like nothing. These things happen. There's a foul every

0:10:140:10:20

time there would be no goals scored from corner kicks. I did get the

0:10:200:10:23

feeling yesterday that Rangers could have scored and changed the

0:10:230:10:27

complexion of the game. Especially an early goal. It would have

0:10:270:10:32

changed the game completely. Fair play to Kilmarnock. They went there

0:10:320:10:41

with nothing to lose. They passed Rangers in crisis is a massive

0:10:410:10:48

story. But you were saying that it is going around the world. Yes it

0:10:480:10:52

is unbelievable that such a club like Rangers can go into

0:10:520:10:57

administration. We had a press conference last week in Finland,

0:10:570:11:03

leading to the Austria game and the journalists asked me what I thought

0:11:030:11:08

about the situation at Rangers. Astonishing. Because Rangers and

0:11:080:11:15

Celtic are regarded as big, secure clubs. All over Europe and all over

0:11:150:11:22

the world. With a fantastic support. It is astonishing that we're where

0:11:220:11:26

we're. When you Lesmahagow Kilmarnock, you left your assistant

0:11:260:11:32

-- when you left Kilmarnock, you left your assistant Kenny Shiels in

0:11:320:11:38

charge. There was a missing hand slake here. There was a lot said

0:11:380:11:46

between those two before that match. Kenny is a good honest guy and full

0:11:460:11:51

hearted. He needs to work on his celebration. It is not quite Jose

0:11:510:11:55

Mourinho style yet. But he has fantastic ideas about football. He

0:11:550:12:00

is a good coach and wants to play football in the right manner. And

0:12:000:12:04

you know, we all say things sometimes that maybe we regret

0:12:050:12:09

after, but you know all in all, Kenny's a good guy. Kilmarnock are

0:12:090:12:13

in the League Cup final and that win makes it back-to-back wins for

0:12:130:12:18

Rangers for the first time in more than 50 years. Unbelievable. To

0:12:190:12:28

beat you know the Old Firm twice in a season is a fantastic achievement.

0:12:280:12:35

Pasquale has been a revelation there as well. Such a reliable

0:12:350:12:39

defender. And could Kilmarnock be a big problem for Celtic at Hamilton

0:12:390:12:47

in a month? It will be interesting. -- Hampden. I think Kilmarnock will

0:12:470:12:52

stick to their plan of passing the ball. Usual think Cup Finals the

0:12:520:12:59

way they go is that the - usually the Cup Finals, the Old Firm start

0:12:590:13:04

passing it early doors and the other team doesn't get hold of it.

0:13:040:13:11

But Kilmarnock will be 3-0 up at Rugby Park against Celtic earlier.

0:13:110:13:18

So it will be a special final. Rangers's first defeat handed

0:13:180:13:23

Celtic an opportunity to open up a 17-point advantage if they xould

0:13:230:13:32

17-point advantage if they xould beat Hibs at Easter Road. Hibs had

0:13:320:13:42
0:13:420:13:42

McPake and Hanlon back. Celtic's Majstorovic won his appeal against

0:13:420:13:48

last week's red card, but still lost his place in the team.

0:13:480:13:53

Highlights with Paul Mitchell. Celtic's third visit to Easter Road

0:13:530:14:03
0:14:030:14:15

back after the intervention of the keeper. Hibs almost in trouble very

0:14:150:14:25
0:14:250:14:31

for Anthony Stokes? It is hi fourth time back at Easter Road and the

0:14:310:14:41
0:14:410:14:58

fourth time he has scored. Hibs on his own with a chance A perfect

0:14:580:15:03

finish from Gary Hooper. It was two against three on the break. But

0:15:040:15:11

that didn't bother Celtic. Hooper is onside and calmly finishes.

0:15:110:15:16

Celtic two ahead after 20 minutes. It is the perfect start at Easter

0:15:160:15:26
0:15:260:15:36

This may have got Hibs back into the match. Matthews gelt too long

0:15:360:15:46

and his shot was too straight. -- gelt. Plenty of work to do for Pat

0:15:460:15:54

Fenlon. No penalty. It looked like he was touched by McPake. The

0:15:540:15:58

referee was in a good position. That look like that should have

0:15:580:16:08
0:16:080:16:13

to take responsibility. Everyone sat off and Hibs were almost

0:16:130:16:21

punished again. Ten minutes into the second half and more danger for

0:16:210:16:26

Hibs. Mulgrew with a trade mark free kick. 3-0 Celtic and it is

0:16:260:16:32

looking like a trade mark result for Celtic here at Easter Road. The

0:16:320:16:42
0:16:420:16:53

keeper took a step to the left and offside when the ball was played

0:16:530:16:59

through. A delightful back Lilles and Stokes read it well. The Celtic

0:16:590:17:01

fans are celebrating this performance at Easter Road. They

0:17:010:17:11
0:17:110:17:21

may not be too far from celebrating It bounced in front of Graham Stack

0:17:210:17:27

who, should have saved it. Hooper's second today. It is Celtic's fourth

0:17:270:17:32

and it is an error from the keeper. It took a bad bounce, but Stack

0:17:320:17:37

should have stopped it. That is a familiar feeling for some of these

0:17:380:17:47
0:17:480:17:59

the last five against Celtic in the SPL. It was a good ball back in by

0:17:590:18:09
0:18:090:18:25

will lose out to Forster at the second attempt. Wilson could have

0:18:250:18:32

just played this away. He tried to be clever and Gary O'Connor had two

0:18:320:18:42
0:18:420:19:06

five at Easter Road and Ki is the scorer. There was no doubt that

0:19:060:19:11

Commons was going for goal. Into the path of Ki and Celtic are

0:19:110:19:19

looking at their biggest win over Hibs in over eight years. Ki sends

0:19:190:19:24

it in, Ledley with the herd. And Osbourne send it away. This was

0:19:240:19:28

Osbourne send it away. This was nearly No 6. The Celtic fans now

0:19:280:19:34

talking about when they win the title and they are six wins from

0:19:340:19:38

the Championship, if Rangers don't drop points. Well it is all over.

0:19:380:19:44

Celtic will win the title this year and what a fantastic performance

0:19:440:19:49

today. They were so strong. The way they put those chances away, like

0:19:490:19:53

nothing today, it was unbelievable. When I was watching this match

0:19:530:19:58

today I thought that Rangers, you know I was surprised that Rangers

0:19:580:20:02

didn't start like that yesterday. Take the grip of the game and

0:20:020:20:07

dominate and boss out there and create chances and take them. But

0:20:070:20:11

you know Celtic were fantastic today. The turn around is

0:20:110:20:16

incredible at the top of the SPL. Enyou look back to 5th November

0:20:160:20:20

when Rangers had a 15 point when Rangers had a 15 point

0:20:200:20:23

advantage over Celtic. Motherwell were three ahead of Celtic at that

0:20:230:20:31

stage. So from there, to now, and it's a 32 point turn around.

0:20:310:20:35

Obviously including the ten point deduction for Rangers going into

0:20:350:20:40

administration and the momentum is all with Celtic. Yeah it is. But

0:20:400:20:44

Motherwell are still there. They're still in the equation. And strongly

0:20:440:20:49

and you know, if Rangers don't get their books in order, before a

0:20:490:20:55

certain date, Motherwell might be looking for a Champions League spot.

0:20:550:21:00

The five goals tell us about the quality of the Celtic performance.

0:21:000:21:05

Which you were describing and maybe a lack of quality from Hibs? Yes it

0:21:050:21:09

was a great corner. The keeper, Stack, couldn't come for it. Here

0:21:090:21:14

we go, Hooper a chance and he buries it. This, I'm not sure

0:21:140:21:19

whether Stack makes a right decision. He is moving behind the

0:21:190:21:24

wall and he is a bit soft. Graham Stark didn't have the best of days.

0:21:240:21:29

But he can't do anything about that. That is just, Ki was surprised that

0:21:290:21:35

he got a touch. But all round, so strong. Every position, the way

0:21:350:21:41

Celtic played, they were so strong and totally bossed the game. You're

0:21:410:21:45

a former Hibs player and manager, what do you make of the job Pat

0:21:450:21:52

Fenlon has been able to do so far. He said today, we're in a dodgy

0:21:520:21:58

situation. Well it is a very alarming situation they're in.

0:21:580:22:03

Dunfermline, they have got plenty fighting spirit. They levelled with

0:22:030:22:08

points at the moment. Only four goals better goal difference Hibs

0:22:090:22:12

have against Dunfermline. So you know looking at the performance

0:22:120:22:20

today, I didn't see any real fighting spirit from Hibs players.

0:22:200:22:26

In previous matches, Hibs defence has been much more solid. Today,

0:22:260:22:30

Celtic players were wide-open all over the pitch and Celtic passed

0:22:300:22:36

the ball for fun. So they need to tighten up. I do believe that Hibs

0:22:360:22:40

have plenty fire power to score goals and maybe win those two or

0:22:400:22:44

three matches that are necessary. But so can Dunfermline. They're

0:22:440:22:49

difficult to play against and they play as a unit, the whole team. So

0:22:490:22:59
0:22:590:23:02

Motherwell could chase a second- place finish in the SPD -- SPL.

0:23:020:23:12
0:23:120:23:28

There was some Champion League chat good second save from Jamie

0:23:280:23:38
0:23:380:24:10

got rid of the ball and he was shot away and was just off target.

0:24:100:24:20
0:24:200:24:42

ahead after 37 minutes. It will go down as an own goal. It was pushed

0:24:420:24:46

away by the goalkeeper, but the shot came off Andy Webster and

0:24:460:24:56
0:24:560:25:12

Motherwell, for the first time this play to half-time. A great looping

0:25:120:25:22
0:25:220:25:49

Webster flung his but at the ball. yellow card and he has gone off. He

0:25:490:25:59
0:25:590:26:15

was sent off against Hearts here in waiting for him. The keeper came

0:26:150:26:24

out and made the block and he wasted no time in tipping it in.

0:26:240:26:34
0:26:340:26:34

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 58 seconds

0:26:340:28:11

Law... 3-02 Motherwell! -- 3-02 have been four. He knows it. That

0:28:110:28:14

is the kind of smile you can only is the kind of smile you can only

0:28:140:28:21

have when you know you are 3-0 up. There of different ways for

0:28:210:28:25

Motherwell to be in the European competition next year. One is if

0:28:250:28:29

Rangers are barred. Another is if Motherwell get second spot

0:28:290:28:34

themselves. That must be exciting. Also frightening.

0:28:340:28:39

Motherwell have done so well this season. They have plenty of

0:28:390:28:43

positivity. Whatever they get, they deserve it. They have been

0:28:430:28:53
0:28:530:28:55

fantastic. The team plays very much like when the manager was a player.

0:28:550:29:02

They have plenty of positivity. It is great to see. They destroyed

0:29:020:29:05

Hearts yesterday. It was 3-0 but Hearts yesterday. It was 3-0 but

0:29:050:29:15

may be going on four or five. A bit of luck there, but if you are

0:29:150:29:19

there and shooting, you win the prize. A great glancing header here

0:29:190:29:29
0:29:290:29:45

dribble. He is a good player. He is strong, technical. A good finish

0:29:450:29:55
0:29:550:30:06

Another fantastic, positive, convincing performance from

0:30:060:30:15

Motherwell. They have a chance to go on to

0:30:150:30:20

within three points of Rangers. What about the sending-off? You can

0:30:200:30:25

see how his leg moves on the impact. see how his leg moves on the impact.

0:30:250:30:28

Maybe there was a connection. Difficult to see from this angle,

0:30:280:30:35

but let's give the referee the benefit. He is well positioned. He

0:30:350:30:39

benefit. He is well positioned. He felt there was contact. Like you

0:30:390:30:46

said, he is an excellent player, has been very important for them.

0:30:460:30:53

Did I hear you Wright - D do say to give the referee the benefit?

0:30:530:30:57

I did say that! Leads have a look at another couple

0:30:570:31:04

of games. Jonathan Sutherland has the best of the action against --

0:31:040:31:14
0:31:140:31:18

from Dundee United and also Dunfermline at the moment. Some

0:31:180:31:25

hesitant defending saw them in danger of going behind. Jim

0:31:250:31:30

Macintyre's side is in need of a positive result. But in villas were

0:31:300:31:38

the more positive side early on. -- Inverness. A blistering run from

0:31:380:31:46

Joe Cardle gave the SPL's bottom side some hope. He was then taken

0:31:460:31:50

unceremoniously out. Not much doubt about the free kick. From the dead

0:31:500:31:58

ball, they hit the crossbar. When the ball fell, he smashed it

0:31:580:32:04

through the legs of the goalkeeper. That was his sixth goal of the

0:32:040:32:11

season. Dunfermline were up at the break. Could this be the day?

0:32:110:32:16

In the second half, a mistake from David Proctor gave Andy Kirk a

0:32:160:32:24

chance to run at goal. But the shot was sent past the post. Some

0:32:240:32:31

practical advice from the manager - not quite sure what it meant.

0:32:310:32:40

Another chance came but the shot went wide. Terry Butcher was in

0:32:400:32:50
0:32:500:32:57

knows -- no mood to see his side delight. Yet more misery on the

0:32:570:33:01

home turf for Dunfermline just as it seemed they might be on the

0:33:010:33:11
0:33:110:33:20

tried to twist the knife. But it finished in a drawer, Dunfermline

0:33:200:33:30
0:33:300:33:36

with just one victory in their last But the match was not devoid of

0:33:360:33:44

incident. The penalty shout was on the soft side. Stuart Armstrong

0:33:440:33:51

went to ground, but not enough in it for the referee.

0:33:510:34:01
0:34:010:34:10

From a free kick, this header wins was an optimistic claim for a

0:34:100:34:18

penalty. Johnnie Russell was the man to take a tumble. The referee

0:34:180:34:28
0:34:280:34:36

between Mair and the keeper Samson almost led to a goal, before Samson

0:34:360:34:44

swept the ball away from Mackay Steven. Peter Houston described the

0:34:440:34:49

game as brutal. Danny Lennon said it made his eyes sore! There was

0:34:490:34:54

the odd flicker of quality, this shot from Russell produced a great

0:34:540:35:00

save from Samson. Russell looking increasingly dangerous as the

0:35:000:35:10

season goes on. St Mirren are a tad toothless, without a goal in three.

0:35:100:35:16

This saw that record stretch to four. Hasselbaink almost made the

0:35:160:35:22

break through, but 0-0 is how it break through, but 0-0 is how it

0:35:220:35:29

finished. My eyes are pretty sore as well. What about Dunfermline it

0:35:290:35:35

is an incredible statistic, they haven't won all season long in all

0:35:350:35:45

competitions. I don't think jimp McIntyre -- Jim McIntyre likes us

0:35:450:35:49

talking about it either. But looking at that, plenty of

0:35:490:35:54

opportunities to go 2-0 up and maybe clinch the first victory at

0:35:540:35:59

home. But if you don't score from those, then you always get a chance,

0:35:590:36:03

the opposition to come back and get level terms. Inverness are never

0:36:030:36:09

easy to play. How Terry and Maurice set their stall out, the team out,

0:36:090:36:17

it is difficult to play against and they have got a good away point.

0:36:170:36:22

Jim McIntyre has remained positive, his feeling is as long as they're

0:36:220:36:27

in touch and are not stranded, they in with a chance. Well they well in

0:36:270:36:31

touch. Level with Hibs. Goal difference is now down to four

0:36:310:36:36

goals. It is all to play for. Like I said, Dunfermline, they have got

0:36:360:36:42

fighting spirit. They have got togetherness and they have got real

0:36:420:36:49

hunger to survive. I can't see that, the Hibs performances of late. So I

0:36:490:36:54

am worried. I'm more worried how Hibs are going about, than

0:36:540:36:59

Dunfermline. You say that they haven't won at home, but you know,

0:36:590:37:05

one sunny day they will. Aberdeen played St Johnston today with the

0:37:050:37:12

pair having had mixed fortune in pair having had mixed fortune in

0:37:120:37:18

the cup it was one in, one out. Considine scores in stoppage time

0:37:180:37:24

and Aberdeen are going to the quarter finals of the Cup. That

0:37:240:37:33

will be Hearts through and St Johnstone out. Aberdeen and St

0:37:330:37:43
0:37:430:38:01

Johnstone went head-to-head. Here That was Fyvie. This isn't far from

0:38:010:38:11
0:38:110:38:23

Fraser Fyvie. Mannus is on the Steve Lomas looking to the Sheridan

0:38:230:38:33
0:38:330:38:49

and Sandaza partnership this deadly. Not o' on target this time

0:38:490:38:59
0:38:590:39:00

-- not on target this time. It was 0-0 between the teem e teams on the

0:39:000:39:10
0:39:100:39:18

opening -- between the teams on the slipped as he went to hit it, the

0:39:180:39:28
0:39:280:39:47

Spaniard. He wasn't expecting it. We know he is capable from that

0:39:470:39:53

range. Think back to his goal at Tannadice on at new year. Took

0:39:530:40:03
0:40:030:40:30

worry for Mannus in the St Johnstone goal. He had to be quick

0:40:300:40:40
0:40:400:41:02

unlucky. Chill Ally looked as though he just lost the opportunity

0:41:020:41:12
0:41:120:41:22

break through and if they do, -- make the break through and if they

0:41:220:41:31

do, you feel it would be the winner. That may well be the final

0:41:310:41:38

opportunity of the game. A disappointing game. It looks as

0:41:380:41:43

though they will finish 0-0, as though they will finish 0-0, as

0:41:430:41:48

they did on week one. You watched that one and you probably deserve

0:41:480:41:53

an award or compensation. Aberdeen one of your old teams. With Craig

0:41:530:41:58

Brown you know that he will start at the back and they have had clean

0:41:580:42:04

sheets in five. That is what Craig is all about. He is a master in

0:42:040:42:10

setting the team not to concede. And they had chances again today to

0:42:100:42:14

win. Plenty of them. They could have scored three. I was surprised

0:42:140:42:19

that the match finished 0-0, when you look at the St Johnstone

0:42:190:42:26

strikers, you look at the chances that Aberdeen had. Maybe not quite

0:42:260:42:32

enough determination there from Vernon. Arnason with a good strike,

0:42:320:42:36

but not on target. And this chance late on could have won it. There

0:42:360:42:42

were chances in the match. But not quite the quality, or the composure

0:42:430:42:48

in front of goal. But you know, it wasn't the best of matches, but

0:42:480:42:52

there could have been goals. I like your understatement. You're

0:42:520:42:57

impressed with the squad at St Johnstone. When you look at the

0:42:570:43:01

defence, midfield and strikers, there is plenty of experience in

0:43:010:43:09

the squad, plenty skill. Good passers of the ball in midfield.

0:43:100:43:15

Davidson's energy getting forward. What they have also is a solid back

0:43:150:43:20

four. When you look at the names, more or less centre halfs all of

0:43:200:43:26

them. There is not much width. But two strikers that have been

0:43:260:43:31

prolific and that is is a pair that could score in any match. I'm not

0:43:310:43:34

surprised they up there in the surprised they up there in the

0:43:340:43:40

table. Let's have a look at the table. That massive gap of 17

0:43:400:43:43

points between Celtic and Rangers. Motherwell within six points of

0:43:430:43:53
0:43:530:43:57

second spot with a game in hand. Midweek matches on Tuesday for

0:43:570:44:06

Dundee United and Kilmarnock. Coverage on BBC Scotland of those

0:44:060:44:16
