The perfect start. Celtic. They are enjoying themselves this afternoon. | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
:00:46. | :00:46. | ||
They couldn't have witnessed anything better. What a strike for | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
Watson. He's going for it. What a goal that is! Brilliant. Oh, that's | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
something else. It's that time of the season, | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Celtic are champions but there are still European places and | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
relegation to be sorted over the next three weeks. All the latest | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
SPL action coming your way in the company of Dundee United skipper | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
and Player of the Year nominee Jon Daly. United fans would have | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
thought you were having a laugh by suggesting they might be in the | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
draw for next season's Champions League qualifiers, but they are in | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
the mix and, having lost to Aberdeen last time out, they were | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
bidding to get back on track against Perth. It's a McDermott | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Park fixture with a recent record for goals. | :01:33. | :01:41. | |
Back in August, it was 3-3 between this pair. And in February, United | :01:41. | :01:51. | |
:01:51. | :02:02. | ||
He's played for Hibs and Celtic but Riordan hadn't played for St | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
Johnston until yesterday. Four other changes for the team. Dundee, | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
despite ending a six match win went with the same players in a bid to | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
with the same players in a bid to relaunch their European charge. | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
Champions League football beginning in earnest here. An early free kick | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
won in a very good area. The debutant Riordan is over it. What a | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
:02:42. | :02:43. | ||
start in the opening minute. Sheridan hits the woodwork. St | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Johnston almost making a dream start here. Opening stages of the | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
game, Derek Riordan, one of his first touches as a Saints player. | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
:03:03. | :03:10. | ||
Daly. Back out. Good ball. It's been spilt. Not a renowned goal | :03:10. | :03:20. | |
:03:20. | :03:22. | ||
scorer, Flootd -- flood. Saints getting it away. Flood. Good ball. | :03:22. | :03:32. | |
:03:32. | :03:37. | ||
Dal. The man of the moment. -- Daly. Almost 22 goals of the season for | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
him there. It was more hope than anything es. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Daly putting the pressure on. St Johnston. Bodys in the way. That's | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
going to come to Robertson. 1-0. Dunn due United. | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
St Johnston couldn't get it clear. Strong play from Daly, Rankin and | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
then Robertson, back to Rankin, Robertson with the finish. It's a | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
fine finish from the midfielder. Kept his run going across the | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
:04:19. | :04:20. | ||
goalkeeper. Just a point separating these two teams in the SPL. Saints | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
in fourth, Dundee United fifth. A booking for the challenge there. He | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
:04:37. | :04:41. | ||
was trying to get away from the scene. Sandaza. Hearts were awarded | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
that late penalty against Celtic by this referee. Stpeef Lomas has don | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
a fine job -- Steve Lomas. The referee spotted something off the | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
ball. A straight red for Francisco Sandaza. He's done so much right | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
this season, the former Dundee United striker. Red carded now. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
He's getting involved now with the Dundee United players. And now his | :05:11. | :05:20. | |
own players as well. McKay is the skipper and he's pushing Sandaza | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
:05:30. | :05:37. | ||
off the park. A kick at Dylan there. Dixon. Good ball. Still alaif. -- | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
still alive. As the ball came in here, there was a slight shout for | :05:42. | :05:52. | |
:05:52. | :06:01. | ||
a penalty kick. There was a hand up. You would feel it would be the | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
killer one. Robertson has the only goal of the game so far. It's all | :06:05. | :06:15. | |
:06:15. | :06:15. | ||
Dundee United against the ten men. Rankin. United looking to ice the | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
cake and they have! No doubt where the points are going now. Rankin | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
seals them for Dundee United. Houston celebrating on the touch | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
line. United will go above St Johnston in the SPL now into fourth | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
place and it's a terrific finish from Rankin. Unsung hero this | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
season for the Tangerines. Peter Houston was getting excited on the | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
touch line. Was there a feeling of relaunching your bid to nail down a | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
European place for Aberdeen? Yes, the gaffer said before the game | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
that St Johnston were probably lacking at it as the biggest game | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
of the season and that's how we had to look at it. St Johnston had to | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
beat us yesterday, it was a massive three points for us and great to | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
keep a clean sheet. Three midfielders got the goals, taking | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
the pressure after off you. And the guys have a habit of scoring in the | :07:10. | :07:18. | |
same game? Yes, maybe three or four games supported there. Yes, ranks | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
did that there and Robbo's kept his cool. He's got lucky here, bounced | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
back to him and it's a great finish. Persistence. Rankin, took him a | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
while to get his first goal and now he's got a few. Maybe he has 60 or | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
70 shots before he scored his first. A great header from Ryan. Clever | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
header into the space. Once he gets on the left peg, only one outcome. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Dundee United must be the best team many the country at the moment in | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
form when you lack at the last ten games. You have lost only one, won | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
eight in the process, it's great momentum? Yes, definitely. Winning | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
eight from the last ten, I think a big plus for us is all the clean | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
sheets that we have. A llt of credit has to go to the boys at the | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
back, Gavin has been immense and the full backs as well. I feel like | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
I'm in the presence of greatness tonight because you have been | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
nominated in the PFL Scotland player of the year awards. There | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
you are, top corner, Steven Davies, Dean Shiels, Charlie mull grau. | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
It's this kind of form obviously, the goals that's grabbed people's | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
attention. -- Mulgrew. Why is this your best season so far? I think | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
I've probably steered clear of injury this year quite a lot and | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
the boys have been brilliant. I put it all down to my team-mates. I | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
think my tape of game, I'm not going to get the ball and beat | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
three or four players and score a goal, I need quality service there | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
and I've had it all season -- my type of game. Is that you thanking | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
all your team-mates, the acceptance speech? Yes, but the likes of Paul | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Dixon has been immense and Gary and Johnny Russell laying on goals. I | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
have to be thankful to them. What's the goal celebration about? We have | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
seen plenty of it? It was a YouTube clip that I was shown by Paul Reid | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
at the club and he taulgt me to do it one day and I did it after the | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
Aberdeen game one day and I just took off -- taught me. You must | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
take a lot of pride from the SPL charts that show you up against | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
Gary Cooper. You must be chuffed when you look at that and the | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
chance to be the first Dundee United player since Andy Grey to | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
finish top player? Yes, Hooper is a fantastic striker but again, it's | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
down to the service and quality of the delivery of geting it into the | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
box and the boys have been great and thankfully we have been in | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
there to put them away. Some of your team-mates are on the honours | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
list this season as well for Young Player of the Year. Forest of | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
Celtic there, McKay, Russell and McLean as well. They've both been | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
terrific. Firstly, Russell came alive in the course of the season, | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
didn't he? Yes, he did. This is the game I remember where he scored a | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
couple of goals before this, he had a dip in form and the manager left | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
him out and then he came off the bench that day when we were | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
struggling and scored two and set us up for victory. This was | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
special? A great goal, yes. His force touch was brilliant. To beat | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
:11:02. | :11:10. | ||
a few players and slot it away was bad thing about this lad, such a | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
nice lad and down-to-earth, the type of guy that you would like to | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
see go all the way. It tells you a lot about his confidence. Is this | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
known as the Gaz get-away? Yes, and he's informed me that he has a GMS | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
as well, so I'm waiting to see that one. | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
And one on the plate for you? he showed us that he doesn't go on | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
the outside all the time. He comes down the inside and puts a great | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
ball in for me to put away. Talking of nominations, what about Peter | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
Houston for no more nations of the season. Neil Lennon's taken Celtic | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
to the Championship and Stuart McCall for Motherwell, but | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Houston's almost completely rebuilt Dundee? He has and the pressure at | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
the start of the season when we didn't start so well, you know, | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
he's turned it round and I wouldn't be surprised if his name was in | :12:04. | :12:10. | |
there when it comes around. Celtic's last trip to Fir Park | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
sparked a turnaround. The fixture today was much more important you | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
would have thought to a Motherwell team chasing a Champions League | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
dream. Motherwell were minus suspended | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
:12:34. | :12:50. | ||
pair. Some back after their bans playing like champions. The title | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
clinched in their last league game. Got a touch. Goes wide. He's | :12:57. | :13:04. | |
looking for a penalty. O'Reilly waving his claims away. Having his | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
:13:14. | :13:14. | ||
shirt tugged by Hamill. Higdon. Humphrey. Good effort. Good save. | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
Lucas. Sprang to his right and threw out a glove to push this | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
:13:32. | :13:39. | ||
start something far Celtic. A big chance, it's gone wide! He has had | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
precious few opportunities to shine in the Celtic first team. A golden | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:53. | ||
chance. He did not tackle this with any great conviction at all. Celtic | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
manager Neil Lennon is banned from the touchline so he is in | :13:56. | :14:06. | |
:14:06. | :14:11. | ||
communication from the directors' box. That was a great cut back. He | :14:11. | :14:18. | |
has tucked it wide. Celtic unable to make the most of this | :14:18. | :14:28. | |
:14:28. | :14:44. | ||
goalkeeper's legs but he got enough on it to again frustrate Celtic's | :14:44. | :14:54. | |
:14:54. | :15:09. | ||
Polish striker. It is still up his mind. In the end, he neither | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
she did or cut it back. What a big moment for this 18-year-old, his | :15:19. | :15:28. | |
:15:29. | :15:41. | ||
great ball in. Tony Watt scores on his debut! What a moment for the | :15:41. | :15:51. | |
teenager. A brilliant finish. Lots to do beyond the back post foster | :15:51. | :16:01. | |
:16:01. | :16:12. | ||
the keeper got a hand to it but he Watt. He has scored again! It is | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
the day of his dreams, a prolific scorer for Celtic's Under 19s but | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
he scored within three minutes of coming on for the top team. He has | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
only gone and done it again! chance of Stuart McCall's team | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
getting anything from this game now are pretty slim. Celtic very much | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
in control. One of their outstanding players today on the | :16:42. | :16:51. | |
ball. Looking to do more damage. Finding room for the shot. Good | :16:51. | :17:00. | |
save! Pickwick the shift and hit. Touched over the top by the | :17:00. | :17:10. | |
:17:10. | :17:10. | ||
Motherwell keeper. They measured pass out wide. -- at a measured | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
pass. Having a look at what is on. There is Cha Du-Ri! He was not | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
going to miss this time, the Korean. Timing it to perfection. Matching | :17:24. | :17:31. | |
the ball in. Crashing a header in the to round things off what Celtic. | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
3-0. Tony Watt scoring his debut 3-0. Tony Watt scoring his debut | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
was memorable enough for him at the time. Something special today for. | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
He was not hanging about and having an impact off the bench. The debut | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
of his dreams. He has come on and of his dreams. He has come on and | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
it is a great ball into the box. What I like is his movement to get | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
a way from his marker. To score from there is a ridiculous finish. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
They're really nice touch. They couple of minutes later, they were | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
set up for number two. He shows great confidence again. Just plays | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
it 3 the defender's legs and across the keeper. A cracking finish. -- | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
plays it through. It is Grade was a thick are producing out of their | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
youth academy -- it is great. Having the League wrapped up | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
already, it is a great opportunity to bring fruit boys and give them | :18:33. | :18:38. | |
some game times. Motherwell will be disappointed not to get anything | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
from the game. You have picked up three points from them and now it | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Encouraging. I know you don't want to get incited but it is a good | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
incentive to have. When you look at the fixtures and the fact that you | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
are at home to Hearts before Motherwell play St Johnstone | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
because of the goal difference in means that if you will that game, | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
you will be third by the time they played. It could be a nice transfer | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
of pressure. It is an opportunity to deploy pressure and I think | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
Motherwell have been fantastic. It is going to be tough for us to get | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
it but I think we are delighted to be within touching distance of them. | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
The last fixture there against Motherwell away, if we are within | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
touching distance then, it would be great. Are you under orders to keep | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
a lid on expectations? I am just being honest. We are on great form | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
at the moment but I look at the fixtures we have got. Hearts are a | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
fantastic side, Rangers, Celtic, Motherwell. It is the top teams. | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
interesting race for the third place in the S P R. It could not | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
meet tougher times far -- in the best PR. It could not be tougher | :19:58. | :20:07. | |
:20:08. | :20:22. | ||
half. Celtic have drawn level at last. A penalty kick! The former | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
Celtic striker up against Fraser for stuff. Finds the back of the | :20:27. | :20:36. | |
:20:37. | :20:41. | ||
net. Hearts are surely going to be back in the game. There was only | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
one change the Hearts manager made to the starting line-up for | :20:46. | :20:55. | |
yesterday's games. Rangers were minus their keeper. Stephen | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:20. | ||
goes in the favour of Rangers. He wants a word with Andy Webster. | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
That is why the free-kick has been awarded. A lovely goal from Sone | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
Aluko to open the scoring! He told her it out of the reach of Jamie | :21:36. | :21:45. | |
McDonald. Tremendous strike from the winner. Rangers take the lead. | :21:45. | :21:55. | |
:21:55. | :21:58. | ||
Well-played by... A terrific save by the keeper. They thought they | :21:58. | :22:08. | |
:22:08. | :22:11. | ||
had doubled the lead. A tricky one for MacDonald to deal with. Randy | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
little causing him some problems -- Andy Little causing him some | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:27. | ||
problems. There is Andy Little. A second Rangers goal! It is Andy | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
Little, the man who has got it. It fell kindly for him. He skipped it | :22:36. | :22:45. | |
over and within five minutes Rangers have scored two goals. | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
Hearts desperately need to get something from this match. The | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
wrong side of the post as far as he is concerned. They are still not | :22:58. | :23:08. | |
:23:08. | :23:15. | ||
out of this. A good save. He got hold of that one well. They pushed | :23:15. | :23:25. | |
:23:25. | :23:49. | ||
a goal back. A lifeline for them. Against the crossbar from the man | :23:49. | :23:59. | |
who was the hero from the penalty spot last weekend. Not so at | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
Tynecastle and Rangers two-goal lead is preserved. He just could | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
not get their. The Rangers fans and players breathe a sigh of relief as | :24:15. | :24:25. | |
:24:25. | :24:38. | ||
simple task of Andy Little to double his own tally and make it a | :24:38. | :24:45. | |
third for Rangers. A terrific move. Andy Little could not miss from | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
there. The run was perfectly timed. No question of offside. I suppose | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
it was always going to be difficult after the height of last weekend to | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
reproduce again it against the other half. Playing against Rangers | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
who have been on good form lately and full of good players. It was | :25:07. | :25:13. | |
always going to be a difficult game. The penalty missed was a key moment. | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
The free-kick with a Sone Aluko. Sometimes you are looking for a | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
badly placed goalkeeper. If you look at the movement on the ball, | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
it is moving away from the keeper all the time. I do not really think | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
there is an awful lot the keeper can do. Rangers in administration | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
has created opportunities for fringe players to come in and show | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
what they can do. It is good seeing Andy Little showing what he can do. | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
He has scored 5 Rangers went into administration. He has had career- | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
threatening injuries. But he is grabbing his chance, isn't he? | :25:53. | :26:02. | |
is. It has given him an opportunity for another striker and his seems | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
to be Andy Little... If you look at the goals he is scoring, he is | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
scoring some cracking doubles. He follows the shot spin and finishes | :26:13. | :26:19. | |
them. His contract is up at the end of the season consult -- the end of | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
the season. There is no bad news if he is scoring goals at the moment. | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
Rangers will want to hold on to him if he keeps scoring. Every time he | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
has played against us, he has done well. How do you feel about Rangers | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
at the moment? Will they be in the SDL next season? They are one of | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
the biggest clubs in Scotland, even the UK. When you see a team like | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
that struggling, it is not good. The best bits of this season for | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
Inverness and Aberdeen will probably be the end of it. They | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
went head-to-head this weekend and Jonathan Sutherland will talk us | :26:55. | :27:05. | |
:27:05. | :27:07. | ||
the sticks far Aberdeen for the first time since his life | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
threatening brain seizure. It was great to see him back and he was | :27:10. | :27:20. | |
:27:20. | :27:22. | ||
busy straightaway. He has always been a good shot-stopper and he | :27:22. | :27:30. | |
clearly has not lost it. A stab at goal but again he came to the | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
rescue. Inverness defender Steve Williams has scored once already | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
this season. He thought he had scored a second as he smashed the | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
ball into the Aberdeen net but an offside flag kept the scoreline at | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
0-0. Aberdeen would create very few chances themselves. This was one of | :27:52. | :28:02. | |
:28:02. | :28:03. | ||
them. The shot was wide of the post. A shrewd through-ball. Despite | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
their limp attacking threat, Aberdeen would take the lead thanks | :28:09. | :28:13. | |
to Roman Golobart, the Spanish Inverness defender on loan from | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
Wigan Athletic with his third own- goal of the season. If that had | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
been based eyes of bad luck for Roman Golobart, he would get some | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
good luck soon after went this shot cannoned off his arms. No penalty | :28:28. | :28:35. | |
though. They then demonstrated how you cult a free-kick as Inverness | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
set about finding an equaliser. The 20 year-old with no goals from what | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
has been a frustrating injury- ravaged season. Then Shane | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
Sutherland fashioned himself a chance from which he thought he | :28:48. | :28:53. | |
should have done better. Do not be under any illusions from these | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
highlights, this was humdrum end- of-season fare with a hapless | :28:58. | :29:07. | |
moment still yet to come. In the 89th minute, they steamed through | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
the middle of the Inverness defence, his shot was saved, but the ball | :29:12. | :29:19. | |
was bundled into Deraa net. 2-0 took Aberdeen, to own goals for | :29:19. | :29:29. | |
:29:29. | :29:34. | ||
Inverness. Too much for the furious back after suffering that seizure. | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
It must be fantastic for him to be back in action? Yes, he must be | :29:39. | :29:43. | |
delighted to be playing again. When something like that happens, you | :29:43. | :29:49. | |
must be thinking you will never play again. Lovely to see him keep | :29:49. | :29:54. | |
a clean sheet and make a few saves. On form and back in the Aberdeen | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
goal yesterday. Was I right to say about the teams that they'll | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
probably be glad to get to the end of the season because it doesn't | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
hold much excitement? Possibly. That can happen with the split | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
sometimes. When the split happens, you can't go any further and they | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
are both going to be safe so there's no threat of relgaition. | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
They'll be looking forward to the summer break -- relegation. | :30:18. | :30:24. | |
have to imagine that every match for Dunfermline has a scramble | :30:24. | :30:28. | |
towards SPL safety. St Mirren now and Liam has the best of the action. | :30:28. | :30:37. | |
There was plenty of it. Dunfermline find themselves seven | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
points adrift at the bottom of the SPL. It's crucial they pick up | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
points. Time is running out for them. It's seines on the ball | :30:49. | :30:59. | |
though. McGowan. Hasselbaink. Good skill. St Mirren are in front! | :30:59. | :31:04. | |
Hasselbaink rewarded for his tenacity and he slipped it under | :31:04. | :31:14. | |
:31:14. | :31:16. | ||
Smith. The former Saints goalkeeper. Dunfermline stirring down the | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
barrel again. Need the find inspiration from somewhere. Graham. | :31:20. | :31:27. | |
Off the post. This is a terrific effort from Graham. So unlucky. | :31:27. | :31:37. | |
:31:37. | :31:38. | ||
Graham. Another former St Mirren player. Macmillan. It's a great | :31:38. | :31:48. | |
:31:48. | :32:16. | ||
header. And St Mirren hit the wood work. Thompson could do nothing | :32:16. | :32:23. | |
with the rebound. Really good deep delivery from Carey. The downward | :32:23. | :32:33. | |
:32:33. | :32:34. | ||
header from McGowan. Slack. Dunfermline. Hasselbaink who scored | :32:34. | :32:41. | |
the first of the afternoon. Rem I Emre. Back to McLean. Carey is up | :32:41. | :32:47. | |
for this attack as well. A great ball. 2-1 to St Mirren. Thompson | :32:47. | :32:52. | |
their top scorer nods it back across the goalkeeper. That was all | :32:52. | :33:02. | |
:33:02. | :33:17. | ||
about the cross of Carey. Fantastic have options. His second! St Mirren. | :33:18. | :33:24. | |
That relegation trap door is ajar right now for Dunfermline. Two | :33:24. | :33:34. | |
:33:34. | :33:58. | ||
goals behind. St Mirren with a 3-1 Graham bursts in. Dunfermline have | :33:58. | :34:08. | |
:34:08. | :34:20. | ||
a lifeline, something to hold on to. Nobody in there for saints. Cardle | :34:20. | :34:29. | |
robs. Thompson. Hat trick. Thompson who came to St Mirren in the summer, | :34:29. | :34:34. | |
he's a fan. He would have dreamt of that. A hat trick for Saints' main | :34:34. | :34:44. | |
:34:44. | :34:47. | ||
man. 4-2 St Mirren. Scored four goals a couple of times this season. | :34:47. | :34:57. | |
:34:57. | :34:59. | ||
Defending now. Buchanan. It's a Dunfermline once again are back in | :34:59. | :35:09. | |
:35:09. | :35:24. | ||
the game. When they ought to be out It's in! 4-4! An incredible game. | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
Dunfermline will celebrate the point. It may not even be enough | :35:28. | :35:35. | |
but they've come back somehow into this match. St Mirren 4, | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
Dunfermline 4. Steven Thompson should have been on | :35:37. | :35:41. | |
the winning side. 15 goals for the season from him. On the six behind | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
you, but three great finishes from him here? Yes, I think he's a great | :35:45. | :35:49. | |
player, a great lad as well and he thrives on service like that. If | :35:49. | :35:54. | |
you put the ball in the box like that, he'll score plenty. Two great | :35:54. | :35:59. | |
headers there. The next one is a fantastic finish as well. Great | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
pressure there and great first touch and rifles it into the top | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
corner and it's a great hat trick. When you look at a couple from the | :36:07. | :36:11. | |
other side of the coin, it's poor defending, switching off defending | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
from Dunfermline and they can't afford that? Yes, they are trying | :36:14. | :36:17. | |
to play out from the back and it's nice to do that sometimes but I | :36:17. | :36:22. | |
think there's a time and a place for it and the last goal there that | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
we seen, they should have dealt with that better. What was positive | :36:26. | :36:28. | |
from Dunfermline's point of view was the fightback qualities they | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
showed in this game. They were always on the back foot but they | :36:31. | :36:34. | |
were always coming back? Yes, definitely. If they were going to | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
have any chance of staying up, they are going to need to do that and | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
not give up. This goal here is great, well worked and great one | :36:42. | :36:52. | |
:36:52. | :36:57. | ||
touch football in the edge of the box, a great finish. They'll be | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
hoping this could be an important point for them? Yes, to come back | :37:00. | :37:05. | |
from 4-2 down to get a point is a massive point. Before the game, | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
they obviously would have been lacking at getting the telepoints | :37:07. | :37:13. | |
but the way the game panned out, they'll take a point. What was | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
looking like a forgettable season for Hibs could have a memorable | :37:17. | :37:22. | |
ending, on course for SPL survival and last weekend reached the | :37:22. | :37:32. | |
:37:32. | :37:47. | ||
Scottish kun final -- Cup Final. Joud standing. That may be the goal | :37:47. | :37:53. | |
that takes them to the Scottish Cup final. Scored by Lee Griffiths. | :37:53. | :38:03. | |
:38:03. | :38:12. | ||
The best of the action by Paul Hibs. Been a positive start to the | :38:12. | :38:22. | |
:38:22. | :38:25. | ||
match. Griffiths dropped the shoulder, opened up. A decent save. | :38:25. | :38:31. | |
Griffiths wide. Chance for him. Fabulous tackle from O'Leary. Cost | :38:31. | :38:37. | |
his side problems and came back to dig them out of the hole. O'Connor | :38:37. | :38:44. | |
looked up, knew where Lee Griffiths was. Griffiths couldn't take him | :38:44. | :38:51. | |
out as he wanted. Great clearance.. Wide. Dangerous on the right hand | :38:51. | :39:01. | |
:39:01. | :39:06. | ||
side. The referee says goal kick.. And he's furious. He thinks there | :39:06. | :39:16. | |
:39:16. | :39:20. | ||
was contact here. Stevenson. Hibs skipper coming close to his first | :39:20. | :39:30. | |
:39:30. | :39:38. | ||
goal for Hibs. Stevenson. Wide on the left. Just off target. Harkins | :39:38. | :39:46. | |
needs support. Gordon. Nice ball into Kelly. Down by Claros, penalty | :39:46. | :39:51. | |
kick. Thompson standing just two or three yards away simply pointed to | :39:51. | :40:01. | |
:40:01. | :40:05. | ||
the spot. Can he do this for Killie? He certainly can. She'lls, | :40:05. | :40:13. | |
who refuses to celebrate in any great style puts Killi ahead -- | :40:13. | :40:21. | |
Shiels. Griffiths opens up. Deflect off O'Leary. Couldn't get the power | :40:22. | :40:31. | |
:40:32. | :40:46. | ||
he wanted. Kilmarnock get away on this. Claros. First of all, the | :40:46. | :40:51. | |
Haim for the penalty. Dayton hits it off himself. That would have | :40:51. | :40:56. | |
been harsh. Great control by Claros. We were speaking about that point | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
for Dunfermline and suddenly when Hibs get nothing in a home game | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
against Kilmarnock, it's a better point for Dunfermline isn't it? | :41:03. | :41:08. | |
course it's a massive point. Only a couple of games left to go so they | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
need to start turning those points into three points. Could be | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
interesting because Hibs and Dunfermline play each other at some | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
point in the next three weeks which could be crucial. Dunfermline need | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
to get back another three points and they are level? If Dunfermline | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
can win the next game and Hibs get beat, they are three points behind | :41:28. | :41:35. | |
going into the next game. The next game is massive. It's a funny old | :41:35. | :41:41. | |
end to Hibs -- old end to the season for Hibs isn't it? They | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
can't rest players until they are guaranteed safety in the SPL. It | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
would be nice to give a few boys a rest leading up to the Scottish Cup | :41:50. | :41:57. | |
final, but until they are secured their safety, they can't do that. | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
Three penalty shouts today, one given. What did you make of this | :42:02. | :42:08. | |
one? Good defending, if I'm honest. If you see here, Dayton goes down | :42:08. | :42:13. | |
easily and gets his arm across him but it's good defending. Claros on | :42:13. | :42:19. | |
Kelly, it wasn't a tough decision? You can see by the reaction of his | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
team-mates that it's a definite penalty. Shiels puts it away well. | :42:24. | :42:30. | |
One of your rivals for player of the year. Dayton off his arm. He | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
didn't know much about it did he? think the ref got all three | :42:34. | :42:40. | |
decisions correct there. If it's given against you, you would feel | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
quite aggrieved. Kilmarnock don't have much to play for but it | :42:43. | :42:45. | |
doesn't matter for the rest of the season because they've won the | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
League Cup, maybeing a massive difference? Yes, definitely. To win | :42:49. | :42:55. | |
a cup is fantastic and the way they went out in the final was brilliant. | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
They've not got a lot to play for but I think everyone down there | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
will be pushing for that spot. it a refreshing end to the season | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
for Scottish football that will be the first Edinburgh Derby since | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
1896? You know well what the Scottish Cup was all about having | :43:12. | :43:17. | |
got a winners' medal in 2010? it's a great day out for the club | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
and great for Edinburgh to have two teams in the final and the | :43:20. | :43:25. | |
atmosphere will be fantastic. check on the Clydesdale bank | :43:25. | :43:35. | |
