Good afternoon and welcome to the results show, nice to have you with | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
us. Who needs facial navigation technology when you have guests, | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
once glimpsed, never forgotten. Marc Wilson and Stuart Cosgrove, I will | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
leave you to work out which is which! You might not see our | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
reporters that you will definitely hear them which is a good thing, | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
starting right now. To Tannadice where Dundee United are playing | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
second from bottom Kilmarnock. It is 4-0, without question United's best | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
performance of the season, dominating what looks like a | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
beleaguered Kilmarnock side. All four goals in the first half. Mark | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
Durnan, John Rankin and Spittal with the goals. Let's go up the table and | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
find out what is happening at Celtic Park where the leaders are at home | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
against St Johnstone. Celtic heading for their fifth league win in a row. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Two from Gary Mackay-Steven and one from Armstrong, St. Johnstone were | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
up the list but the home team are on course for three points. Alistair | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
Lamb and is at Fir Park. It is to Noh to Ross County, Motherwell | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
hoping to recover from their annihilation last week but it is | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
County during the business. Irvine got them off and running and that | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
was added to by Graham. The visitors in control. Next to the high lines | :01:59. | :02:08. | |
-- Highlands. 0-0, both teams would move up the league with a point. It | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
started brightly with the home team missing some early chances, Storey | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
should have netted, he had a brilliant long-range strike that | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
journey tipped over. -- Cerny. Let's go to Easter Road, find out what is | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
happening between Hibernian and St Mirren. Hibs are looking to close | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
the gap to two ponds and looking good for it. A wonderful free kick | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
from Henderson -- two points. St Mirren have barely threatened a | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
leveller. Anthony Stokes has come on as a substitute. And now Falkirk | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
against Livingston. Falkirk want to keep up their momentum to keep up | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
with the top two. At the moment they are being held. Sibbald put them in | :03:09. | :03:18. | |
front just before the interval but Buchanan equalised five minutes into | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
the second half. The Falkirk defence could not deal with the ball. 1-1. | :03:22. | :03:30. | |
Welcome to the show. As a former Dundee United defender, we are | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
watching pictures of their match, can you believe it? Part of me can. | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
I tipped them to win the game today. But it's so unusual for them to be | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
playing like this. The difference in the team... There is a real | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
character. Every corner and throw in, they look like a team possessed. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
You can see the effects of what a clearly meeting can do. Have you | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
ever experienced that? Do they work? Sometimes. On this occasion it is. | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Dundee United look to have changed their formation, I don't know if | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
that comes from the players speaking to the manager, but they have | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
changed to 4-4-2 and it is working. Time for a clear the air meeting at | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
McDiarmid Park? Obviously Celtic are very strong at home. We are doing | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
better than in our last meeting. By all accounts, Hallam has come back | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
and event is pace on the right. We nearly scored again quite recently. | :04:43. | :04:50. | |
It is not done yet but you would have to say that Celtic are | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
favourites. And St. Johnstone ad gone five games without scoring | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
before this. Steven MacLean back on the scoresheet. It is fantastic | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
because he is one of these great link up players. He is very | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
talented, he can hold the ball and find someone, whether a midfielder | :05:10. | :05:17. | |
or a another striker. He is well into double figures so he can score | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
himself. Just keep him away from the penalties! Ross County beating | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Motherwell, that seems a bit surprising. Not from the pictures. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Motherwell looked to be on the up, they turned a corner and Mark McGhee | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
had them playing some good football. And then the collapse against Hearts | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
and that looks to have had an effect because looking at it today, Ross | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
County could have had more. Not a great game in the Highlands, only | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
one chance. It is pay what you like day as well! They might not think an | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
awful lot of it! It is disappointing, people want goals and | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
action and it is a disappointing score for both teams but ironically, | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
when you look at the table, if you can get a point away from home, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
Partick Thistle will feel that is worth having. Now to the Friday | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
night football, Aberdeen had a chance to reduce Celtic Boss lead to | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
the top for a while, but they would have to beat Dundee at Pittodrie and | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
they certainly did. Just one goal in it, coming from an unsurprising | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
source in Adam Rooney. Such a vital player for them. Who else is going | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
to score? He has so many this season, I think that is number 16 | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
and he is always in the right place at the right time. A lot of those | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
were penalties, but this shows his striking awareness. He knows there | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
is a chance, the writeback can't do too much. Rooney is in there to tuck | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
it away. A really good goal in terms of an important goal. He will never | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
be as good as Benny Rooney! But the other thing, that was the type of | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
game Aberdeen might have conceded points, it needed to be done. Ten | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
games unbeaten now. Impressive, and if you look at it, like the run they | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
went on at the start of the season before they went off the rails, if | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
Derek McInnes is analysing this run, the games he will be annoyed at | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
other draws against Partick Thistle and Inverness. They could have gone | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
top. Although they did not get beaten, it was still an opportunity. | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
It is great to be on a run but those results will still be in his mind. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
We can hear from Derek McInnes and what he said after the match and | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
also from Paul Hartley. It is only 1-0, and with their quality you are | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
never totally relaxed. But we have to enjoy the result. It was a strong | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
performance tonight and a lot of good play. The first half was end to | :08:21. | :08:28. | |
end at times. Bain was in inspired form. We had chances at the other | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
end, the second half was a bit scrappy, | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
end, the second half was a bit better. We could have nicked it at | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
the end but better. We could have nicked it at | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
with the effort and attitude better. We could have nicked it at | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
work ethic. The shape was brilliant also. Celtic looked to be reopening | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
that lead back to six points but Aberdeen's next match is against | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
Celtic at Pittodrie. And their last defeat was against Celtic. It is a | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
massive game. Aberdeen have shown they can beat Celtic at Pittodrie | :09:03. | :09:11. | |
already this season. Interesting to see how it pans out. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
already this season. Interesting to forward to. Do you think they can | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
stay the course? We made the point that they have won before at | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Pittodrie, they have to win this one. Anything else and Celtic go | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
away. A lot of Hearts fans will be watching to see if Aberdeen can take | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Celtic and make it more interesting at the top. There has been a goal at | :09:38. | :09:44. | |
Tannadice. Another one for United. And what a goal, it came from Sean | :09:45. | :09:53. | |
Dillon. He picked it up midway inside the Kilmarnock half, got the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
break of the ball in the box and he was well inside the six yard box | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
when he put it beyond Jamie MacDonald into the back of the net. | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
That means that all ten outfield players were inside that box | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
praising Sean Dillon. He is taking the applause of the huge crowd here. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
5-0 and that does not do it justice, they have completely dominated | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
Kilmarnock in every area. They believe they can survive. They might | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
well do. Let's head to Celtic Park. Still 3-1. A thoroughly enjoyable | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
game. Two for Mackay-Steven and one for Armstrong, Steven MacLean got | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
the equaliser for St. Johnstone. A sweet flick on the near post after | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
some good running. Since Johnson have been impressive despite the | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
scoreline -- St. Johnstone. Gordon made a great save from Liam Craig. | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
But you would expect Celtic to restore their lead act to six points | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
at the top. It is game on at Fir Park. Motherwell have got the goal, | :11:19. | :11:30. | |
it is Stephen Pearson you have got it with four minutes left. A corner | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
fell to Pearson about 12 yards out and he put the laces through it with | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
his left foot and smashed it past Scott Fox as Motherwell go forward | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
again! McFadden almost lobbed Fox but he just got his finger tips to | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
it. Motherwell will be doing everything they can to get a point | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
from this but it is still 2-1. Are you enjoying yourself any more at | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
Inverness? We had a little spark of action, Miles Storey dribbled to the | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
byline and cut it back and there was Liam Polworth, we thought he would | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
score but he put it in his past the post when he had to score. We can go | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
to Easter Road, Hibs against St Mirren. They have brought on Anthony | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
Stokes for his debut and they should have gone 3-1 up. Liam Fontaine with | :12:33. | :12:41. | |
a header but he put it over the bar. Jamie Langley and a bit of luck have | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
combined to keep the score at 2-1. Hibs are looking to go within two | :12:48. | :13:03. | |
points of Rangers at the top. Time to hear about Livingston and | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
Falkirk. Six minutes left and a frustrating afternoon for Falkirk | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
who want to win to stay in second place but they are being frustrated | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
by Livingston. Falkirk took the lead through Craig Sibbald with a goal | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
that the home defence made a mess of. And then Liam Buchanan's 10th of | :13:24. | :13:35. | |
the season equalised, again the defence at fault. Kevin O'Hara has | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
missed an absolute sitter to put Falkirk in front. Frustrating for | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
them. We can head back to Tannadice where there has been another goal. | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
One assumes it is a sixth. Incorrect! It has come for | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
Kilmarnock, a corner from the left and Josh Magennis with a near post | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
header that went John and Kawashima. Too little, too late -- beyond | :14:03. | :14:12. | |
Kawashima. A couple of talking points, Hibs have brought on Anthony | :14:13. | :14:23. | |
Stokes, 2-1 up against St Mirren, Inverness can't score, they need | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
strikers but Stokes goes for a dive club. It is odd if you are looking | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
at the league ladder but not at momentum. No question that Hibs play | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
a game that best suits him. There is also a sense of him wanting to prove | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
that he is still a worthy Celtic player. And much to go to, League | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
Cup semifinal next week against St Johnstone at Tynecastle, he has | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
things to look forward to. On Vallance he would rather be playing | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
for Hibs having for the Championship than Inverness in that battle for | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
who is going into the play-off places -- on balance. It is Hamilton | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
against Hearts tomorrow. There could be goals galore if both teams most | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
recent outings are anything to go by, here is the evidence for that. | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
Exhibit one, Hamilton's visit to Celtic Park in midweek. | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
Hamilton fans look away now. This was a horror show. When you go to | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
Celtic Park, they carve you up. Fantastic goals. That was a great | :15:42. | :15:50. | |
one. You fear for them. It could have been more here. | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
I watched them against St Johnstone. They defended. | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
St Johnstone threw in the box. They were more direct. | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
Hearts playing that way could be better equipped to deal with such | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
problems. Stuart, looking into middle space? | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Because of a theory that I have. I am not a fan of the player/manager. | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
I think it is difficult if he comes in to strengthen the back four or to | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
remain as the manager there. It is a difficult decision to make. He has | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
come under criticism. Do you think he will play tomorrow? I don't think | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
it works, player/manager. I don't think he can cons strait on the team | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
when on the pitch. In contrast, Hearts, gave Motherwell | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
a pasting last Saturday, 6-0. Hearts can do it. They have the | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
players and the confidence. The team is on top of their game. | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Like Aberdeen, they can score plenty goals. I was surprised when I heard | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
the scoreline. Motherwell are a team on the up. | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
Mark McGee came out to say that they would give it a go but on the day | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
they were blown away. Where do you stand on the debate on the side? | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
Overly robust. The other thing is the surprising results. No-one | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
predicted the hammering that Motherwell took, apart from Mark who | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
has tangerine eyes, nobody predicted Dundee United win either. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Convincing, 5-1. And big results. There is a lot of unpredictable | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
things happening in the league. That is good. | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
This could be predictable. A goal at Easter Road and a predictable | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
scorer? Anthony stokes, he got the goal. I did not give you time to | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
answer the question, he tapped in as he came on as a subcity document | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
He will not get an easier one than this. It was lovely on the left-hand | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
side. Put on a plate for the Irishman. I was to say it was an on | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
loan Celtic player who made a big impression, today, not Stokes. That | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
a was he unanimous Henderson. Who did a wonderful kick for his goal. | :18:32. | :18:40. | |
And McGinn, also produced a deficit. But Stokes, the new boy Hasapoped | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
one home. When he asked me, I was going to say | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
Thompson. So, Stuart, is it Hibs and St | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
Johnstone next week a match to look forward to with confidence? I always | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
go to games with a wee bit of confidence. St Johnstone are a good | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
team. It is set up to be a fantastic game of football. Open ended. Both | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
teams want to play football. I have a feeling we have something in the | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
locker that we have not proved in the last month. I noticed that Alan | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
Stubbs was saying that Hibs could win the treble. Yes. This including | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
a cup that they have not won in 110 years! I had to check that fact. | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
Good luck to that. That is you talking down Peter Head | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
again? I think it will be a great game of football. Disappointed that | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
the SPFL have not sorted out the ticket situation. And St Johnstone | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
fans have been denied where they have been unable to get tickets due | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
to the allocations sold out. But that said, it should be a good game. | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
I'm going 2-1 to St Johnstone. It is a wee bit curious, the ticket | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
situation. Not secures, outrageous. I think it will be a good game of | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
football with two sides. I'm going for a Hibs victory. I the signing of | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
Anthony Stokes could be the boost that they need. He wanted the game | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
at Tannadice. And looking at Tannadice, 5-1 to | :20:22. | :20:28. | |
United to take them to within 11 points of Kilmarnock, does it begin | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
to look realistic, the avoiding of chances of relegation? I felt today | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
that they needed to win this for any sort of chance. Now they have | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
another two or three important games with Thistle, Motherwell and | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
Hamilton away. That is three important games. The momentum and | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
the confidence to take, could put them in good straights going | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
forward. And Motherwell have lost at home to | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
Ross County. Alastair can fill us in. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
County County surviving a late flurry from Motherwell to claim | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
their first league win. Moving up to fourth in the Premiership in the | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
process. Jackson irvain gave them the lead. There was an injury in the | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
warm-up and Irvine came on. He defendantly controlled a corner | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
deep to the back post beforelashing it forwards despite the best efforts | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
of one of the Motherwell defenders. County County controlled the match | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
after. Brian Graham doubled their advantage in the second half. Firing | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
in to a fairly straightforward finish. It looked like the points | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
were wrapped up, then Stephen Pearson smashed in a goal. Then a | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
barnstorming finish and Scot Fox required to save a brilliant | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
one-handed save. Ross County County had done enough. They took the three | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
points. 2-1 to Ross County. | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
And now over to the match of Celtic v St Johnstone. | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
The story of the game, well, Gary Mackay's goal. | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
Great running on the right-hand side from the Rangers target, Michael | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
Hallerhan. And ten minutes after the interval, | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
Gary MacKay-Steven again making it 3-1, stroking past mannis. | :23:00. | :23:06. | |
Great effort cleared off the line. And Gordon pulling off a fantastic | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
save. Celtic clicked at the key times. Gary Mackay in particular. | :23:13. | :23:27. | |
The top of the pool well deserved. And now let's hear how it finished | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
at Caledonian Thistle against Inverness. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
The homeside started well with Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo and Vigurs | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
going close. It looked all set for an | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
entertaining match but Ross Draper had a close range header from a | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
tight angle. Almost crept in. A claim for a penalty was waved away. | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
The second half was poor, other than a fantastic long-range effort. The | :24:04. | :24:13. | |
chance of the match when the ball was placed wide. | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
An important game for Thistle. The big story of the day coming from | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
Tannadice from Brian McGloughlin. A standing ovation for the United | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
players after a 5-1 win. The best performance of the season. 4-0 up | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
after the break. A complete performance. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
The players were drilling the ball into the bottom corner. Durnan with | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
a header for the club. Before Spittal grabbing his second of the | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
afternoon. Then John Rankin making it forward with a volley. Number | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
five came from the captain, Shaun dillion. An amazing run. | :25:02. | :25:13. | |
Josh Magennis scored a consolation goal for Kilmarnock. Now Dundee | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
United have hope of survival. The gap at the bottom is down to 11 | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
points, they have a game in hand. On this evidence they will prove as if | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
they can catch Kilmarnock. It finished here at packed Tannadice. | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
Now to Easter Road for the full-time report. Watching Hibernian against | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
St Mirren. No problem for Hibs. A comfortable | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
victory, it should have been a more impressive victory. 3-1 it ended. | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
The headlines about Anthony stokes. It began with a free kick by | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
Henderson. Over Jamie Langfield in the first half. Added two, John | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
McGinn against his old club. A good play by Jason Cummings. | :26:04. | :26:14. | |
Stevie Mallon with a free kick gave St Mirren hope. A terrific finish | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
from Mallan. But Hibs had St Mirren hope. A terrific finish | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
after chance in the second half. Pall Hanlon saw a header tipped over | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
by Jamie Langfield, and Pall Hanlon saw a header tipped over | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
third goal arrived. It had to be Stokes. He could not marks he did | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
third goal arrived. It had to be not miss, it finished in the capital | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
with Hibernian three, not miss, it finished in the capital | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
And then to Falkirk against not miss, it finished in the capital | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
Dominating large parts not miss, it finished in the capital | :26:57. | :26:58. | |
for a point so not miss, it finished in the capital | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
go above them in the second place in the table. | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
Falkirk dominated in the first half. Taking the lead in the 44th minute. | :27:08. | :27:20. | |
That was a lead that they held for five minutes by Sibbald. Then the | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
Falkirk defence made a mess of a cross, and Buchanan knocked a goal | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
into the net. After that Falkirk again dominated. A great chance by | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
Paul ball son. And a superb header from Kerr but a | :27:40. | :27:47. | |
fantastic save by Livingston. Kevin O'Hara on as a substitute, | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
should have scored but knocked it past the post. Frustration for | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
Falkirk. It finish, Livingston, one, Falkirk, one. | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
And now good afternoon Sandra Brown, watching Queen of the South against | :28:04. | :28:10. | |
Alloa athletic. The game here for the first time in | :28:11. | :28:21. | |
six weeks... Oh, cut off. It finished in a 1-0 win for Queen | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
of the South. A great result again for Hibs. | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
Taking them back to second with a game in hand over Falkirk. | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
It is what hobs have to do. To win the games that they are expected to | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
win if they are to keep up with Rangers. Anthony stokes will help | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
them along the way. He will score goals. | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
Falkirk were due a wee stumble? I think if you are a Falkirk fan you | :28:55. | :28:58. | |
will be going home really disappointed. That, on at least on | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
the surface of it, it was three points for them. I think that they | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
are the unsung heroes of that league. Everyone talking about | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
Rangers, Hibs, it is disappointing that they have lost ground. But they | :29:14. | :29:18. | |
are still in the hunt. And one assumes that they will | :29:19. | :29:24. | |
finish in the play-off spot. All that much, if you finish second or | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
third? Of course it does! Of course, if they finish third it means that | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
they have fallen back. I think that they could seriously still hurt | :29:35. | :29:40. | |
either Rangers or Hibs because if you look at it, they can cut | :29:41. | :29:45. | |
somebody's throat. It is the old adage, we might not win the league | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
but we can decide who does. Right, chaps, it is time to go to | :29:51. | :29:58. | |
the classifieds results round-up. So, the trusty fourth official and | :29:59. | :30:02. | |
off we go with the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership. | :30:03. | :33:37. | |
Time for a look at the league tables, Celtic are now six points | :33:38. | :33:45. | |
clear of Aberdeen again after a good win this afternoon. Dundee United | :33:46. | :33:58. | |
now 11 points behind Kilmarnock. Ross County are up to fourth place | :33:59. | :34:04. | |
after a good win. Hibs are back into second after a good win at home | :34:05. | :34:12. | |
against St Mirren, two points behind Rangers who play Moreton on Monday. | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
Livingston are five clear of Alloa Athletic. -- Morton. | :34:18. | :34:28. | |
Ayr United narrowed the gap slightly at the top. | :34:29. | :34:42. | |
Two points is the deficit between East Stirlingshire and Berwick | :34:43. | :34:51. | |
Rangers. Letta City are back on top after beating Stoke City 3-0. | :34:52. | :34:59. | |
Arsenal and Manchester City are yet to play this weekend. Man United | :35:00. | :35:05. | |
lost at home against Southampton. Aston Villa are six behind | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
Sunderland. The bottom does not change much. | :35:09. | :35:31. | |
Bolton Wanderers are still there but just one point behind Charlton with | :35:32. | :35:39. | |
Bristol City also in trouble. Let's get some details of the matches in | :35:40. | :35:45. | |
the English Premier League. This had more goals than the game at | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
Tannadice, Norwich against Liverpool, a remarkable match. | :35:51. | :35:56. | |
Possibly the game of the season at Carrow Road. Won by Adam Lallana | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
deep into the fifth minute of stoppage time. That after Sebastien | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
Bassong with a brilliant shot from the edge of the area had made it 4-4 | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
in the second minute of stoppage time. Where to start? Liverpool lead | :36:14. | :36:19. | |
through Firmino early on, Mbokani made it 1-1, Steven Naismith put | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
Norwich in front on his debut. Hoolahan's penalty made it 3-1 but | :36:25. | :36:32. | |
Liverpool came back, Henderson immediately, Firmino again and then | :36:33. | :36:35. | |
Liverpool came back, Henderson Milner after a terrible backpass by | :36:36. | :36:40. | |
Russell Martin. Enter Bassong, they thought they had a point and | :36:41. | :36:41. | |
probably deserved it but Lallana had thought they had a point and | :36:42. | :36:51. | |
other ideas. To the King Power Stadium, Leicester City against | :36:52. | :36:52. | |
Stoke. Stadium, Leicester City against | :36:53. | :36:58. | |
wins surely in their season, three points clear of Arsenal, | :36:59. | :37:02. | |
wins surely in their season, three of fifth placed Manchester United | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
and Jamie Vardy scores again, his first in eight and number 16 of the | :37:08. | :37:13. | |
season. Pace and balance to take it round Jack Butland. Ring quarter got | :37:14. | :37:21. | |
them under way -- Danny Drinkwater. It was their first goal from outside | :37:22. | :37:26. | |
the box this season. Ulloa rounded it off after a moment of magic from | :37:27. | :37:32. | |
Mahrez. Shawcross went off injured with a back problem for Stoke. The | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
King Power Stadium is bouncing, they are top and they can't believe it. I | :37:38. | :37:42. | |
doubt Old Trafford was bouncing this afternoon. Victory for visitors | :37:43. | :37:47. | |
Southampton. Opportunity was there for Southampton, you felt they did | :37:48. | :37:53. | |
not have enough in the tank but on comes Charlie Austin with ten | :37:54. | :37:57. | |
minutes left on his debut, only signed last week for a bargain ?4 | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
million. Januzaj conceded the free kick, it came over from Ward-Prowse | :38:04. | :38:09. | |
and Austin, give him room in the area and he forced the header home | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
and what an inspired signing he could be. The misery continues for | :38:15. | :38:19. | |
United, early exits and many empty seats around the stadium and there | :38:20. | :38:27. | |
was much booing at the end. 12 goals in 11 home league games, not good | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
enough for a club of United's stature. It sounds like the natives | :38:33. | :38:43. | |
are restless. They are not happy. Not at all, wherever they have come | :38:44. | :38:50. | |
from, the only thing I would say, you look at this Manchester United | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
season and the team and it is almost unthinkable. A number of clubs, they | :38:56. | :39:02. | |
are one, Spurs are another, whose fans have been reared on believing | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
they play great open football and dominate games. That goes back to | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
the 1950s. To see this kind of threadbare, dreary, dull team they | :39:12. | :39:17. | |
have now is humiliating for them as a club. You could not call the game | :39:18. | :39:23. | |
at Carrow Road dreary, a much needed win for Liverpool. I caught the tail | :39:24. | :39:32. | |
end of it and it was fascinating. Alex Neil must have been so | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
disappointed, celebrating one minute and two minutes later Liverpool get | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
the winner. The celebration showed you how much it meant to Liverpool, | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
Jurgen Klopp got his glasses broken in the celebration! And celebrations | :39:47. | :39:52. | |
at Tannadice, they matched Liverpool in terms of goals. A stunning as for | :39:53. | :40:00. | |
Dundee United. I still feel we are getting ahead of ourselves. 11 | :40:01. | :40:08. | |
points is still a big golf. A game in hand though! They still have an | :40:09. | :40:15. | |
awful lot to do. In the end it might be too much. I know that pains mark | :40:16. | :40:22. | |
but since he wants Hibs to win the League Cup semifinal, tough luck! | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
There are a lot of teams that still have a lot to do to avoid the | :40:28. | :40:34. | |
play-offs. You go from Partick Thistle in eighth down to | :40:35. | :40:39. | |
Kilmarnock. At the start of the day there were six points between 11th | :40:40. | :40:45. | |
place and sixth place. Now it is five. People were talking about a | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
title race between Celtic and Aberdeen. It is the same difference | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
at the bottom, it makes it interesting for us watching. And | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
maybe it is not just the three points, it is the quality and the | :41:00. | :41:05. | |
effervescence of the performance and I think back to Lineham -- the | :41:06. | :41:14. | |
manager will want the Sunday papers. It seems Southampton adopted the | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
formation that they have just dumped, surely they will stick with | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
it. I don't know if it came from the meeting or if Mixu has been thinking | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
about it but their previous formation was not working. He has | :41:31. | :41:38. | |
changed to 4-4-2 and scored five. Do you think it was player power? I'm | :41:39. | :41:45. | |
not sure. Maybe a bit of both. The players might say, it doesn't suit | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
us, and he has thought, OK, we'll change it. Never mind player power, | :41:50. | :41:56. | |
time for some presenter power. It is time for us to save poodle pip for | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
another Saturday but there is more football to come this weekend and | :42:03. | :42:09. | |
you can trust Jonathan Sutherland to bring you the highlights tomorrow | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
evening. Do not miss that. There might be some Championship morsels | :42:14. | :42:19. | |
in there as well. I will be back next Saturday. Good job you have got | :42:20. | :42:35. | |
your trainers on, the show goes out at 5:20pm. Worth tuning in to see if | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
the big man makes it and how out of breath he is! That is it, time to | :42:40. | :42:47. | |
stop bothering you, thank you to my guests. Take care, we will see you | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
soon. | :42:52. | :42:54. |
