Good evening. We continue to have an interesting race at the top of the

:00:39.:00:45.

Scottish premiership. Admittedly, it is only September. We have two

:00:45.:00:50.

interesting desks, never short of an opinion. Craig Gordon and Stuart

:00:50.:00:57.

Lovell join us to discuss red card, angry managers and an early

:00:57.:01:02.

contender for goal of the season. Plenty to keep you entertained for

:01:02.:01:08.

the next 45 minutes. Sunday postal service from Dundee and Motherwell.

:01:08.:01:15.

Will St Johnstone hit Celtic on the rebound? Have St Mirren saved their

:01:15.:01:24.

best for Hibernian? Ross County and hearts. We start at Tannadice, where

:01:24.:01:34.

a done deal to side on the up first Motherwell. Stuart McCall side

:01:34.:01:37.

starting to find their Scottish premiership strike. They won their

:01:37.:01:43.

last three matches. United were fresh from their Highland goals raid

:01:43.:01:46.

against Ross County. What a chance that was. Right in

:01:46.:02:44.

front of the goal. Zaine Francis-Angol is quick.

:02:44.:02:59.

Half an hour gone. Terrific play from Zaine Francis-Angol. That was

:02:59.:03:23.

emphatic. Good play and good finish. 1-0. Keith Lasley. Simon Ramsden.

:03:23.:03:46.

Andy Robinson 's past. -- pass. That was pretty impressive from Dundee.

:03:46.:04:17.

Keith Lasley, blocked. Nadir Ciftci seizes the opportunity to score

:04:17.:04:28.

again. He rattles in his fourth goal for Dundee.

:04:28.:04:46.

Andy Robinson. He is off. Nothing much standing in his way. Robinson

:04:46.:05:05.

's first goal for them to you it. - - Robinson 's first goal for Dundee

:05:05.:05:07.

to. Looks like Keith Lasley to strike

:05:07.:05:56.

it. So close. Lovely skill from the DS if they. - - lovely skill from

:05:56.:06:10.

Nadir Ciftci. Brilliant setup from him. Lionel Ainsworth, off the

:06:10.:06:22.

bench. Spectacular from the substitute. But as Lord Chesney act

:06:22.:06:29.

- - Radoslaw Cierzniak. I thought we had a far better second

:06:29.:07:16.

half. I thought we deserved to take the lead. Disappointed. It is

:07:16.:07:26.

probably a 2-point drop. I have two congratulate them from coming back.

:07:26.:07:35.

Keith Lasley hit the inside of the post with that free kick. Four

:07:35.:07:45.

goals, in terms of the spectacle of football, how good a match was that?

:07:45.:07:51.

It was a great match. And no surprise, really. If I had been to

:07:51.:08:00.

see any match in the premiership, a would hoping that one it was a

:08:00.:08:09.

cracker. Lionel Ainsworth, what a strike. Would you have managed to

:08:09.:08:11.

save this? I don't know, I doubt it. Plenty of space opened in front of

:08:11.:08:25.

him, and he just thought he might as well have a go. It is a great

:08:25.:08:35.

finish. What about the defensive

:08:35.:08:47.

deficiencies we saw at times in this game?

:08:47.:08:55.

That was a brilliant goal. It was kind of like the parting of the red

:08:55.:09:05.

Sea. As a keeper, you would be too

:09:05.:09:16.

impressed with having thrown at you, I take it? No. They will not be

:09:16.:09:31.

happy with that. Next to the team with the best record in Scottish

:09:31.:09:36.

premiership history. Inverness Caledonian Thistle. Terry Butcher

:09:36.:09:38.

side have been a revelation, peering down from the top of the table on a

:09:38.:09:43.

rest. Could they keep it going? They faced what was sure to be a tough

:09:44.:09:47.

test away to Aberdeen. Leah McLeod was watching.

:09:47.:10:17.

I think he was blocked by his own man there. Zola got in the way.

:10:17.:10:44.

Peter Pawlett has started the season so impressively. Zola, Cammy Smith.

:10:44.:10:58.

That was really strong from Dean Brill. The corner again. That was

:10:58.:11:10.

concertante for is the referee has opted something. Good first half. No

:11:11.:11:26.

goals. . And Dean Brill, again. Instinctive. Graeme Shinnie.

:11:26.:11:41.

Draper, sidestepping away from Smith.

:11:41.:12:26.

Jonny Hayes was caught late there. Craig Thomson has been busy this

:12:26.:12:36.

afternoon. A wonderful finish from Scott

:12:36.:13:06.

Vernon. His first of the season, and what a way to grab it.

:13:06.:13:23.

Terry Butcher has forgotten what it is like to lose a match.

:13:24.:14:00.

He was rewarded for his persistence. It gives us a chance to assess and

:14:00.:14:08.

think, what didn't we do on Saturday, what can we do to put that

:14:08.:14:19.

right in the future? A strange taste of defeat for Terry Butcher.

:14:19.:14:27.

Not too tricky when you consider the start to the season they've had. I'm

:14:27.:14:32.

sure before the ball was kicked they will have snatched their hand off so

:14:32.:14:39.

they'll be pleased. Disappointing to lose and your winning run to come to

:14:39.:14:43.

an end, but by all accounts they competed very well and one goal in

:14:43.:14:47.

it, there wasn't too much to be disappointed about.

:14:47.:14:52.

Great win for Aberdeen. Scott Vernon with the goal. He's been crying out

:14:52.:14:56.

for a goal. How much will this mean to him? Strikers thrive on the

:14:56.:15:00.

confidence from scoring goals. That's his first of the season and

:15:01.:15:04.

the Aberdeen fans will be hoping that sets him off on a run now.

:15:04.:15:09.

Unorthodox build-up? Yes, very scrappy and Inverness are deep

:15:09.:15:13.

trying to defend their box. Take nothing away from the finish.

:15:13.:15:19.

Absolutely no chance there. The back four to be out of the box.

:15:19.:15:31.

They would have been able to deal with the ball in the box easier, but

:15:32.:15:37.

credit where it's due. A big win for Aberdeen. So many

:15:37.:15:41.

people tipping them for big things. They celebrated like this was a

:15:41.:15:47.

massive win for them. They'll be looking to try to get the

:15:47.:15:52.

second spot. Don't let Inverness get too far away

:15:52.:15:56.

from them. There's a big win for them. They have experienced players

:15:56.:15:59.

to come back to the fold to help strengthen the claim for that so

:15:59.:16:03.

things are looking good for them. Plenty more football to Comptonite.

:16:03.:16:08.

And we have live football for you on Wednesday night too. It's in the

:16:08.:16:12.

League Cup. Aberdeen will be hoping to follow up the win over Inverness.

:16:12.:16:16.

They are away to Falkirk. And still to Comptonite:

:16:16.:16:22.

Two managers who know all about pressure. Danny Lennon, faces Hibs.

:16:22.:16:32.

After their bright start to the season, St Johnston went into the

:16:32.:16:35.

weekend without a within in three games. They were away to Celtic and

:16:35.:16:40.

things didn't look too hopeful for Tommy Wright's side. Having said

:16:40.:16:44.

that, would the Scottish champions be suffering from a Champions League

:16:44.:16:47.

hangover? Heartbreak for Celtic. Goes into the

:16:47.:16:56.

back of the net. Balotelli. The rebound goes in. It's AC my listen

:16:56.:17:01.

2, Celtic 0. Celtic still chasing the European

:17:01.:17:06.

Dream, but it was back to domestic duties, T Johnstone the visitors in

:17:06.:17:10.

the East End. Commentary from John Barnes.

:17:10.:17:35.

Celtic looking for a change in form after European matches. Failed to

:17:36.:17:40.

win six of their domestic games last season played after European ties.

:17:40.:17:42.

Six out of 12. Here is Matthews. His throw. Oh, and he has the shot.

:17:42.:18:05.

And he gets the goal, his second for Celtic, his first start for the club

:18:05.:18:13.

and it comes after ten minutes. His effort straight through the

:18:13.:18:15.

goalkeeper. Mulgrew.

:18:15.:18:42.

And Celtic 2-0 in front. Charlie Mulgrew on the score sheet once

:18:42.:18:46.

more. That trusted left foot of his from 25 yards range.

:18:46.:18:53.

May have taken a little nick off a St Johnstone defender.

:18:53.:19:02.

Very alert and very productive and create creative on the right-wing so

:19:02.:19:10.

far. Here is Stokes. Should have been a better connection. Good cross

:19:10.:19:17.

in from Stokes. Seemed to come off the shoulder of the Dutchman.

:19:17.:19:24.

Good switch of play from Stokes. So close to number three for Celtic.

:19:24.:19:30.

They are well and truly on top. Weatherspoon. Good delivery in. Just

:19:30.:19:51.

over the top. That effort silences the home

:19:51.:20:00.

support. Mulgrew's corner. Stokes at the back and cleared off the line by

:20:00.:20:03.

Maclean. Initially the effort looked to be

:20:03.:20:08.

blocked. May. Millar ahead of him. Millar

:20:08.:20:25.

with a chance and Parried away by Foster.

:20:25.:20:39.

Mackay. Good spell for St Johnstone. Caddice and St Johnstone have pulled

:20:39.:20:51.

a goal back with eight minutes left to play. And now Foster won't

:20:51.:20:58.

release the ball and the referee is having to split them up. Mackay's

:20:58.:21:05.

delivery in, got ahead of Van Dijk. The day after his 20th birthday,

:21:05.:21:11.

he'll have enjoyed that goal, Liam Caddice.

:21:11.:21:15.

Now St Johnstone are looking for the leveller. Maclean. He's gone to

:21:15.:21:23.

ground. Looking for a penalty. But the referee was close to the

:21:23.:21:25.

incident. McDonald. May. It's off the post!

:21:25.:21:47.

McKay and Foster to Celtic's rescue. That may well have secured the three

:21:47.:21:53.

points for the Parkhead club, that super save there by the English

:21:53.:21:58.

goalkeeper. It wasn't a penalty, no, it's

:21:58.:22:04.

rubbish. Steven has a tendency to go down. All players go Down Under a

:22:05.:22:09.

challenge all the time. REPORTER: Easily? Well, listen, I've

:22:09.:22:16.

a golden rule, I don't comment on opposition's players, so maybe Neil

:22:16.:22:20.

shouldn't comment on mine. The managers having a spat there

:22:20.:22:25.

over the Maclean penalty claim incident. Stuart, was there any way

:22:25.:22:30.

this was a penalty or was it a dive? I was sitting on the gantry

:22:30.:22:35.

yesterday and from 60 yards away I didn't think there was much contact.

:22:35.:22:39.

When you see it on the slow-mo, there doesn't appear to be so. The

:22:39.:22:43.

referee's done well to call this one the way he did because the

:22:43.:22:47.

temptation is, you think they may have clipped heels, but I don't

:22:47.:22:50.

think that was the case, it wasn't a penalty. Surprised that Neil Lennon

:22:50.:22:59.

said he had a tendency to do this? I mean from the evidence, there was

:22:59.:23:03.

little contact? I don't think he has a great reputation for doing that,

:23:03.:23:08.

it wasn't a penalty, but the penalty did excellent there, he's in a great

:23:08.:23:11.

position to call it and has made the right decision. That could have been

:23:11.:23:14.

the difference many the game and I think that's what angered Neil

:23:14.:23:16.

Lennon. That could have been the difference between one point and

:23:16.:23:20.

three. Thankfully the referee got that right. Two teams now. He's a

:23:20.:23:56.

penalty box striker and I would expect Pukki to go on to great

:23:56.:24:01.

things. First goal against Hearts last week. Fraser Foster on the

:24:01.:24:05.

other hand, was there any sense that he might have been at fault for the

:24:05.:24:11.

St Johnstone goal? A little too close to his near post when the

:24:11.:24:14.

cross comes in. The ball goes back, freeze it there, he's not

:24:14.:24:17.

re-adjusted his position back into the middle of the goal. He might

:24:17.:24:21.

have given himself the chance to get the cross, not saying he could have

:24:21.:24:26.

definitely; but there was a chance if his position had been better and

:24:26.:24:31.

he could have done that. Making the vital save at the end there,

:24:31.:24:34.

match-winning contribution to ensure they get the three points. Ended up

:24:34.:24:39.

being a good day for him. How do you define the Celtic performance? I was

:24:39.:24:44.

there and they were utterly dominant for three quarters of the match, yet

:24:44.:24:48.

St Johnstone almost snatched the point? Celtic should have been out

:24:48.:24:59.

of sight by the hour mark. Jtsedz a couple of substitutions gave them

:24:59.:25:03.

fresh impetus. Celtic were hanging on at the end kind of which is

:25:03.:25:06.

bizarre because they were the better team over the 90 my opinions. --

:25:06.:25:13.

minutes. To be fair to the Hibs boss, things are on the up. Four

:25:13.:25:19.

matches unbeaten, 2-1 winners last week and sunshine on Leith

:25:19.:25:22.

threatening to break out at Easter Road. These are pretty dark days for

:25:22.:25:28.

Danny Lennon at St Mirren. Every week, his future is being discussed.

:25:28.:25:34.

One point on the board so far. Could he finally get that much-needed

:25:34.:25:42.

victory? Couldn't have gotten off to a much

:25:42.:25:47.

better start for Hibbs or worse for St Mirren. This was Collins' second

:25:47.:25:52.

in as many games as Hibs took a lead in the tenth minute.

:25:52.:25:58.

Hibs paid £200,000 for Collins. The money looks like it might have been

:25:58.:26:02.

well spent as he cracked in another effort that wasn't far off.

:26:02.:26:07.

The home side were looking much the better side against the lacklustre

:26:07.:26:14.

St Mirren, the shot from Hevron pushed wide by Dylan The green tide

:26:14.:26:21.

continued to flow in a goal ward direction in the second half as St

:26:21.:26:26.

Mirren tried to keep a foothold. Craig with the shot this time.

:26:27.:26:33.

After the bad start to the season, they are now playing football that's

:26:33.:26:40.

getting decent results. Heffernon made it 2-0, sealing another defeat

:26:40.:26:44.

on St Mirren. The Paisley side were offering

:26:44.:26:48.

precious little and Hibs might have scored again. This set-up from

:26:48.:26:58.

Collins ruled out for offside. Robertson with the initial drive. A

:26:58.:27:05.

moment of slightly nervous goalkeeping footwork almost led to a

:27:05.:27:10.

goal of the season contender from Craig.

:27:10.:27:15.

Suddenly life looks brighter foreHibs and Fenlon.

:27:15.:27:28.

Grainger picked up a yellow card. Then, when he blasted this free kick

:27:28.:27:36.

against maybury, it capped off another bad day for Saints, as he

:27:36.:27:41.

was given his marching orders. Will Danny Lennon now get his marching

:27:41.:27:46.

orders from the St Mirren board? You have to keep working hard and have a

:27:46.:27:51.

belief in what you are doing. They worked tremendously hard and are

:27:51.:27:56.

trying to form into game day. That's a big difference. Just keep

:27:56.:28:00.

believing and having faith. I look at other managers who're under the

:28:00.:28:04.

same pressure as last season. In terms of having a second half of the

:28:04.:28:09.

season to turn it around, derrick Adams, one game in nine, but he's a

:28:09.:28:15.

fantastic second half to the season. Lomas, who I think was one game in

:28:15.:28:19.

four or something, we are beyond that now, but again he goes and

:28:19.:28:25.

turns that corner quickly. Those both clubs are rewarded by having

:28:25.:28:30.

faith in their manager and turning it around. I believe we can do the

:28:30.:28:36.

same. We'll have our weekly Danny Lennon discussion shortly. Can Danny

:28:36.:28:42.

Lennon take inspiration from Pat Fenlon who was under pressure at the

:28:42.:28:46.

beginning of the season and who is now five matches unbeaten?

:28:46.:28:52.

Absolutely. There was pressure for Fenlon with a slow start to the

:28:52.:28:57.

season from Hibernian. The spotlight's moved on somewhere else

:28:58.:29:00.

and I think Danny would do well to look at that and think, if we can

:29:01.:29:04.

get a few results, turn things around, invariably, that may well be

:29:04.:29:08.

what happens. It would be lovely for us to see, maybe go a whole season

:29:09.:29:12.

without a manager getting sacked. That would be a refreshing change.

:29:12.:29:16.

Unlikely I think possibly. But we shall see. In terms of the chances

:29:16.:29:21.

there, Craig, it was pretty much wall-to-wall Hibs chances. A very

:29:21.:29:25.

busy afternoon for this young goalkeeper between the sticks for St

:29:25.:29:29.

Mirren. How impressed were you by him?

:29:29.:29:44.

I was quite impressed. I was a nervous moment. They should probably

:29:44.:29:55.

take that first time, but he still gets the ball away. I think he will

:29:55.:30:02.

be very happy with his first start. It is a great start. Stewart, let's

:30:02.:30:11.

talk about Danny Lennon. Next game for them we tomorrow, against

:30:11.:30:20.

Aberdeen. Can he hang onto his job? It is quite obvious, they need to

:30:20.:30:24.

get winning, and quickly. Hearts have stuttered a little bit. They

:30:24.:30:30.

have lost their last three games. They are still in a position of

:30:31.:30:36.

strength. Danny knows the game. All managers understand they are under

:30:36.:30:44.

pressure to get results. More football to come tonight. It never

:30:44.:30:51.

ends. Online, you can watch Scottish premiership highlights any time you

:30:52.:30:57.

like on the BBC Sport website. Still to come: Probably yesterday 's most

:30:57.:31:07.

in ten - - probably yesterday 's most entertaining game in the

:31:08.:31:13.

Scottish premiership, Kilmarnock the visitors at Partick Thistle.

:31:13.:31:16.

If hearts are going to move off the bottom of the table, Ross County are

:31:17.:31:20.

one of the sites that inmates have their eye on. It has been a tough

:31:20.:31:30.

season so far for Derek Adams side. They started the day 12 point and

:31:30.:31:34.

head of a young hearts side, still trying to make inroads.

:31:34.:31:44.

Ross County created plenty of chances early on. Despite their

:31:44.:31:54.

efforts, the visitors went ahead. Kevin McHattie whipped in a goal.

:31:54.:32:18.

Although the home side dominated for much of the match, hearts did

:32:18.:32:22.

threaten. Callum Paterson got some luck there, but couldn't get it in.

:32:22.:32:32.

It was a good effort. Despite being on the back foot, Mark Brown have to

:32:33.:32:43.

look lively. It looks as though hearts were going to hang on. They

:32:43.:32:58.

kept playing. Melvin de Leeuw did well. The goal came in the 89th

:32:58.:33:15.

minute full is. - - the goal came in the 89th minute. The Ross County

:33:15.:33:20.

captain provided the finish. Over the 90 minutes, I thought we

:33:20.:34:01.

played well, created openings. I think we deserved to take something.

:34:01.:34:16.

It was a kick in the teeth for us. It has cost us. That was a

:34:16.:34:35.

fantastically true. It is a big blow for them. Difficult to bounce back?

:34:35.:34:57.

It is up to them to bounce back. What will it mean, the second when?

:34:57.:35:10.

They made such a mark last season. How much better can they get? I

:35:10.:35:16.

think Ross County see themselves as a progressive club. Somebody has to

:35:16.:35:21.

be that charging for second place. I think we all agree Celtic will

:35:21.:35:32.

probably win the league. It was massive for them.

:35:32.:35:38.

In a late plot twist, the last match of the night is actually one of the

:35:38.:35:41.

best. Partick Thistle brand of attacking foot boat has an plenty of

:35:41.:35:47.

plaudits and a decent haul of points. They were up against a cool

:35:47.:35:50.

Marnoch side still searching for their first win of the season.

:35:50.:36:48.

Aaron Muirhead. Patrick Little ahead. - - Partick Thistle head.

:36:48.:37:37.

Sean Clohessy. It is a great cross. Mickelson failed to get the target.

:37:37.:38:04.

Kilmarnock have levelled three minutes into the second half. Sean

:38:04.:38:42.

Clohessy was alone for so long. Kris Boyd, well, we know what he can do.

:38:43.:38:53.

Kilmarnock are starting to find a rhythm in the second half. Stephen

:38:54.:39:06.

O'Donnell takes it away. Terrific cross over from Michael Gardyne.

:39:06.:39:19.

That was certainly the pick of the bunch.

:39:19.:40:20.

Hopefully, we can work on that. The boys were playing good football.

:40:20.:40:39.

There have really beaded of contentious decisions this week.

:40:39.:40:48.

What about his penalty decision? I think if you saw this anywhere else,

:40:48.:40:53.

you would say yes. A little bit reckless and clumsy. I

:40:53.:41:00.

agree. The goalkeeper is both played well

:41:00.:41:10.

in this match. Scott Fox. That first one was really sharp.

:41:10.:41:28.

This was also a good save. Craig Samson probably edges it. This was a

:41:28.:41:50.
