STUDIO: Good evening, the third weekend of the premiership season | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
already, six one or two surprise results and as always, a countless | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
number of talking points, controversial moments and goals | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
galore. A couple of top pundits joining us as well. They will be | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
crunching the numbers with us this evening. We begin with first against | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
second, Inverness began the weekend in pole position. Celtic in second. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Who would be top of the pile come the final whistle? | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
COMMENTATOR: What a strike that is! The 19-year-old from Brussels! | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
Spectacular effort! All of the headlines coming, the | :01:38. | :01:53. | |
Celtic line-up, it is easy for John Hughes and Caley Thistle, the same | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
11 starting again, two wins and a draw, no goals conceded so far for | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
the league leaders. No fewer than ten changes in the Celtic 11 from | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
the one that began in Slovenia in midweek: | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
Only Charlie Mulgrew survives from the start. | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Shinnie we've set. -- weaves it. They thought that had gone in, as | :02:14. | :02:24. | |
did John Hughes, he has just passed from Tanzi. The skipper, Shinnie, | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
Williams... It is a bright start from the highlanders. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
Highly ambitious from Tansey. But why not have a go? The Celtic boss, | :02:38. | :02:51. | |
with a big decision beforehand, to rescue the players ahead of the | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
play-off second leg. Tipped over by Dean Brill, the goalkeeper. Good | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
effort from Efe Ambrose. The likes of wild sick -- Twardzik in the | :03:06. | :03:17. | |
line-up. Teemu Pukki you is going to get a second bite at the cherry. -- | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
Teemu Pukki. Getting the first bombs from his team-mates, Little wonder, | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
yet to concede a goal so far this season, Dean Brill, and 22 clean | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
sheets last season. Biting back, Twardzik. Hitting the deck... | :03:40. | :03:51. | |
Referee Matt and says no penalty. -- Madden. Celtic trying to make Caley | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Thistle soph on the counter, Kris Commons can do that but he has been | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
denied by Brill. This was the penalty shout. | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
Christie, down under the challenge of wild Twardzik --. | :04:07. | :04:15. | |
-- Twardzik. On loan at Coventry last season, working some space... | :04:16. | :04:26. | |
Wonderful effort, and that time, the goalkeeper was beaten. | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
He has got his crossbar to thank for keeping the score line 0-0. | :04:33. | :04:45. | |
Top-of-the-line by Mulberry. Finding great space. | :04:46. | :05:00. | |
Celtic have not failed to score in a league game since December 29, 2012. | :05:01. | :05:15. | |
Griffiths got the only goal of the game for Hibernian that day. | :05:16. | :05:31. | |
It is one that puts the league leaders in front against the | :05:32. | :05:43. | |
champions. O Connell in for a start today, just his second appearance | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
for the first team. And it came bouncing back off him. Not much that | :05:51. | :05:51. | |
he could have done. Caley Thistle, fully deserving of | :05:52. | :06:04. | |
their elite. Getting it back to Collins, the | :06:05. | :06:19. | |
substitute. Great ball by Anthony Stokes. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Shinnie, Williams now... Looking for a second. He has been robbed! | :06:25. | :06:37. | |
Christie! Should have been two. The son of the Caley Thistle great, | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Charlie, Ryan Christie had the chance to cement his reputation | :06:44. | :06:44. | |
there. Here come the highlanders on the | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
counterattack, Celtic all of the way up the other end of the park, | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
understandably, lock ticking down, Danny Williams moving through... | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
Cannot get past the goalkeeper. They are so close to a famous victory | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
here. We were unlucky on the goal but we | :07:06. | :07:16. | |
will take it. -- they were unlucky. Scoring against Celtic, for the rest | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
of the match, backs against the wall. We have got to think of | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
Tuesday as well, I think we got a lot of answers today. We have got to | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
work from there. STUDIO: Fantastic victory for Inverness, a lot was | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
made of Celtic playing the second string yesterday but how much credit | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
do Inverness deserve? Total credit, they still have top talent playing, | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Celtic, Griffiths is there, Charlie Mulgrew, Commons... You have still | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
got to beat them, confidence is high, and the performance was | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
excellent as well. Nothing but credit for them. For the neutrals, | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
plenty of neutrals, glad to see Celtic dropping points as well. So | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
that it does not become a procession. I thought that they were | :08:03. | :08:11. | |
naive, making ten changes against the league leaders, who have not | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
conceded. Tough day for Owen O'Connell, he gave away the goal. | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Was Billy Mackay definitely onside in the build-up? It is his movement | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
that does the young Owen O'Connell, showing inexperience. There is | :08:29. | :08:38. | |
nothing he can do about it. Clearly onside, Zaluska could do better. The | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
movement has done him. The goalkeeper has got to be brave, if | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
you are going to get anything on the ball, then you have got to take the | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
hit. I would apportion blame all with the goalkeeper than with the | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
youngster. Should Caley Thistle have had a penalty? I think so, I think | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
that this is a penalty kick. A defender should not stick out his | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
leg here. The first two angles are not great, but the referee is in a | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
wonderful position. It is not this angle, it is the next one... He is | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
hanging out a leg. He has caught him. You thought it was a wee bit | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
theatrical. That is why he never got the penalty. Should have been a | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
penalty? As soon as you do that you are in trouble. For me, a definite | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
penalty. Ronnie Deila left out many players because of the match in the | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Champions League in midweek, Tuesday, usually important, how | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
confident are you that Celtic will go through to the group stages? I'm | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
very confident, Maribor will not progress. They did not -- I did not | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
think they were a good team when they played Rangers, I do not think | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
they are a good team now, basically have not progressed as 18. Massive | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
match for Ronnie Deila. Absolutely huge. -- basically they have not | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
progressed as a team. We will hope that they make it. Hamilton | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
academical have raced out of the blocks in the premiership, they seem | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
intent on proving everybody wrong, and it has been a good start the | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
campaign proving those relegation predictions wrong. I would rather | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
see us going down, trying to play good football then, playing good | :10:34. | :10:42. | |
football, rather than plain bad football and staying up. On the | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
ground, passing game, superb. COMMENTATOR: Following the red card | :10:45. | :10:58. | |
last week, the goalkeeper is suspended, Gallagher comes in. | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
Hamilton make only one change as they look to maintain their good | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
start to the season. Longridge taking the place of Henry. Gill SP | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
moves to full-back. -- Gillespie. Almost 50 years since the sides last | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
met in a top tier match in Scottish football. Early chance for | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Longridge. A chance to put Hamilton in front. Denied by Paul Gallacher. | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
Lovely floated ball through. This is for the opener, Ryan Stevenson... | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
Straight at Michael McGovern. Expecting better from Ryan | :11:47. | :11:46. | |
Stevenson. Higginbotham, driving it in... The | :11:47. | :11:55. | |
pace of the shot taken off by canning. This was a lovely delivery. | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
From cleaning, for Stevenson, you expected the next bulge. -- Keenan. | :12:02. | :12:13. | |
-- you expected the net to bulge. Flicked a higher. Stevenson, | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
knocking it on, this is a chance for Gary Fraser. -- flicked high. He has | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
pulled it wide, but Thistle are pushing for the opener. | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Excellent save by Michael McGovern, terrific flowing football this time, | :12:29. | :12:50. | |
from the home team. Looking for the bottom corner. Double change for | :12:51. | :12:51. | |
Hamilton: It is a game of headers at the | :12:52. | :13:08. | |
moment, year is Jason Scotland. Excellent ball, finding Danny | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
Redmond. He has a man in the centre. It is Ali Crawford. And it is Paul | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
Gallacher, to the rescue of this all, yet again. Looks as though he | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
was going the wrong way, still got a hook to it. Deflecting it wide. | :13:23. | :13:29. | |
Higginbotham. What a strike that is! Spectacular from the Thistle man! | :13:30. | :13:41. | |
They are in front with five minutes left to play! No hanging about after | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
the initial control. McGovern got a hand to it, could not keep it out. | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
Picked up by Redmond. Anthony Andreu! Within 90 seconds, Hamilton | :14:00. | :14:13. | |
are back level, it is a good strike from the substitute. | :14:14. | :14:22. | |
Crawfords... Pushing it through, Balatoni has missed it, it is Jason | :14:23. | :14:30. | |
Scotland! Two minutes into stoppage time, that will surely be the winner | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
for Hamilton! Andreu Scored the first and it is | :14:34. | :14:43. | |
another substitute that scores the second, the slip from Balatoni. And | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
he was punished. Jason and Tony played a huge part in success last | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
season. Jason has just recovered from injury. I have great options | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
and I knew that bringing them in would do something the team. Luckily | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
they got the two goals. We did not turn up today, we played into their | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
hands. We were the home side, I think we needed to take the game by | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
the scruff of the neck. STUDIO: Painful for Partick, heroic once | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
again for Hamilton. You tipped Hamilton for the drop, are you | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
sticking with that? It was not a tip, just a suggestion. Perhaps they | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
can inspire the pundits and prove us wrong. Nine points after that first | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
result, absolutely brilliant, confidence growing. They must fancy | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
themselves to not even get into the relegation play-off and it is | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
already that early in the season. Are you sticking by it? It is a long | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
way to go! LAUGHTER Jason Scotland and Anthony Andreu | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
coming on late in the match. It was the late late show. When they went | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
1-0 up they were probably thinking they had won the match but when he | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
seizes the ball, he's already the other side of the Partick | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
midfielder, they should be tightening up with the game at 1-0, | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
when the ball is passed, definitely on-site, and when he opens up his | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
body, lovely finish. From the point of view of Partick they will be | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
disappointed. They should be sitting deeper, seeing when you see it | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
here... They still have plenty of bodies back, there is not much | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
movement but I tell you what it is a fine finish, does not even take a | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
touch. Big blow for Partick. It all happened at the end of the match, | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
must have been so painful for Alan Archibald to be watching this. He | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
admitted that, they will be disappointed defensively, good | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
finisher and Jason Scotland, he has done it his whole career. Archie has | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
admitted that Partick were not at their best, and Hamilton were. | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
Resilient, that is the word that reduced. Start of the season for | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Partick, not great, but they had the hoodoo from hell, they will not want | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
to see that comeback. When they thumped Ross County, that was put to | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
bed, but two wins and a draw would have been a brilliant start, | :17:15. | :17:16. | |
Archibald will be scratching his head. He used the word streetwise, | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
that epitomises it. Plenty of chat about the new kill Marnoch plastic | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
pitch and also about Motherwell's poor start to the premiership | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
season. Both elements would come crashing together this weekend. -- | :17:32. | :17:32. | |
crashing. COMMENTATOR: Looking to build on | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
their victory against Ross County last weekend, but if kill Marnoch | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
are to do that, it will be without Slater and their new signing, who | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
are both injured. Motherwell have lost their last two in a stuttering | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
start of the season, Stuart McCall is satisfied, Ojamaa is fit enough | :17:54. | :18:06. | |
to begin, having rejoined from the injury list. | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
Muirhead, sizing it up. Little wonder! Wonderful goal for Robbie | :18:13. | :18:26. | |
Muirhead! He has lashed this one past the goalkeeper, Twardzik. It | :18:27. | :18:43. | |
may have moved through the wind. Getting the better of him, Muirhead | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
is waiting... Decided to go it alone. Maybe living to regret that | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
now. Looking lively. Infancy of his kill | :18:54. | :19:04. | |
Marnoch career. Going it is only a matter of time, | :19:05. | :19:38. | |
looks like. He's in behind here... Was he clipped by Pascali? That is | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
the question Motherwell are asking now, of the referee. He says, no. | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
John Sutton tried to stay on his feet, that may well have cost him | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
and his team, if indeed he was clipped by the Italian. | :19:55. | :20:02. | |
Did that come off the arm of Chandler? The referee and his | :20:03. | :20:11. | |
assistant choosing to ignore that one. McManus has crumbled to the | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
ground. The kill Marnoch fans are warming to | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
Josh Magennis, we only saw him fleetingly when he was at | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
Aberdeen... That is a bad challenge there, that could be a red card for | :20:27. | :20:35. | |
Kerr. He has gone right in on Jamie Hamill here, very late and very | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
ugly. It is a red card for the Motherwell defender. | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
Absolutely majestic! That will surely be the points, double | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
jeopardy for Motherwell, they lose a man and they lose another goal! | :20:59. | :21:07. | |
Sammy Clingan! Rolled in by McGuinness, McKenzie! And then over, | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
from O'Hara! Really good kill Marnoch performance, on the | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
artificial turf. -- really good kill Marnoch -- Kilmarnock. Eremenko, | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
McKenzie... It is just not going in for Josh | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
Magennis, he has done everything but score. Real team performance, | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
intelligent, passing the ball very well, Motherwell put pressure on us | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
but we defended very well when they did that, I am very pleased. I do | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
not think he clipped him... I think he's just an honest person trying to | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
score a goal, trying to stay on his feet and then tumbling with the | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
momentum. If he had gone down on contact, it would have been a red | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
card and he would have gone off. Little things like that can change | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
football teams. Pumping beats coming from the home dressing room, in | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
terms of Muirhead and McGuinness, looks like kill Marnoch may have a | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
good partnership on their hands. -- kill | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
-- Kilmarnock. I worked with Josh at St Mirren and he has all of the | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
attributes to do well. I think the defender backed off, taking the | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
touch... You have got to go over the ball, Ni invites him to hit it. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Again, possibly, straight at the goalkeeper. He has tremendous | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
attributes, pace and power, directness, big John. Finishing? He | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
has got to add that to his game. It is something that has been missing, | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
the amount of goals he scores. He has presence, pace, power, the good | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
attributes. Bit of competition for places with kill Marnoch as well. | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
They have got several players, including Lee Miller. Motherwell do | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
not have that competition, they have maybe Saturn, maybe Henrik jammer. | :23:17. | :23:30. | |
-- Sutton. -- Henrik Ojamaa. In terms of decisions can they be | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
feeling hard done by? Looking at it, maybe John Sutton... He has done him | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
a favour by not going to ground straight. From his experience you | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
would think that he would go down. They have overachieved. Fine line. | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
Stonewall for me, armed to ball. You can see it. Was this a sending off? | :23:58. | :24:10. | |
Definite sending-off, the argument made, play should have been stopped, | :24:11. | :24:20. | |
it is at the referee 's discretion. I think that the game should have | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
been stopped, that is the referee 's discretion, no doubt it was a red | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
card. Who is most likely to finish in the top six? It is difficult to | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
write off Motherwell, with their consistency levels, but I think they | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
have missed Shaun Hutchinson leaving, he is a real big mess. I am | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
going to say both! Because Kilmarnock our playing with | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
confidence. LAUGHTER Good start to the season for Dundee | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
United but it came to a halt last weekend, losing 6-1 at Illtyd Park. | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
Could they pick themselves up for the visit of Ross County? So far, | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
Ross County had played three and lost three. -- Celtic Park. | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
COMMENTATOR: No Stuart Armstrong for Dundee United, that is the only | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
change to the United side under an at Celtic Park last week. Mario | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
Balotelli coming in. Three changes, Ross County look to win at Tannadice | :25:18. | :25:18. | |
with a first time. -- Mario Balati. It is a good save. Kept his eye on | :25:19. | :25:36. | |
it. Townsend. Taken down. Free kick. No | :25:37. | :26:05. | |
complaints. Sends it in, nice ball, cheeky. 1-0, Dundee United. Will he | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
escape the attentions of Scott Boyd and send them into the opposite | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
corner? Court betwixt and in between. Made them pay. -- caught | :26:17. | :26:34. | |
Some Bilate. -- some refreshment for Jackie McNamara. | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
The move had broken down. Great resolve. | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
Dundee United, starting the second half brightly. Giving that one away. | :26:45. | :26:56. | |
Chance here for Ross County. Out wide. Comes short. Into Carey, | :26:57. | :27:07. | |
brilliant ball... Missed by one but not by the other. Ross County | :27:08. | :27:17. | |
level, Jake Jarvis did not miss that one. Classic counterattacking | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
football. Jake Jervis Bay his run at the back post to perfection. One | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
one, at Tannadice. -- 1-1. Good play... Had to be 2-1. Put on a | :27:31. | :27:44. | |
plate for him. Did not take it. Linking well. Away from Payton. | :27:45. | :27:54. | |
Chance for Ross County. Second great chance they have had to take the | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
lead. Spurned the first one... Jake Jervis Bay and is that one well | :28:01. | :28:02. | |
over. Payton... Pushed away by the goalkeeper. Good | :28:03. | :28:16. | |
play from Dundee United, the pass from Payton, and first time in, | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
Rankin. Gary Mackay-Steven... Cutting through, punched straight | :28:21. | :28:29. | |
on... 2-1, United! Four minutes remaining. Dundee United back in | :28:30. | :28:30. | |
front. Great match, a lot of energy. Two | :28:31. | :28:47. | |
teams looking to attack. Having scored the first goal we are | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
disappointed to lose the equaliser on the break when we were pushing | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
forward, but I thought it was a good match. Overall, performance wise, | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
delighted, it has been a defeat, it has been hard to take, because of | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
the way that we played at times. Great for Dundee United to bounce | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
back after the defeat against Celtic. Great moment for Chris | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
Erskine. Yes, needed the same thing at Pittodrie the other day, couple | :29:12. | :29:13. | |
of weeks ago. The goalkeeper needs to take a look | :29:14. | :29:28. | |
at himself. Take it down on the half volley, superb. Jackie McNamara has | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
a great problem, he has a lot of talent in the midfield areas to | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
choose from. After losing Ryan Gauld, an opportunity for Chris | :29:37. | :29:41. | |
Erskine. Chris Erskine is challenging. The goalkeeper has two | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
looked at himself there. He has plunged it into the ground. Derek | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
Adams talked about how United stole the game. County passed up their | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
chances. They did. Creating their opportunities. County were in the | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
same position last year. But they won't win games of the goalkeeper | :30:03. | :30:05. | |
does things like that, anywhere but do that. This one for me, is | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
fantastic play. I know what you are going to say. You have to do side | :30:12. | :30:20. | |
footed of the net. Just open your foot up and guide it into the net | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
but he tried to put the laces through it. How do you feel about | :30:25. | :30:31. | |
Dundee United facing St Mirren next weekend? It will be a difficult | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
game. The one criticism of them last year was they did not keep a lot of | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
clean sheets but this year they have a new left-back and two new centre | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
halves and I think they're looking good defensively and they are a | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
threat going forward. It will be tough. Stevie May was on the | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
scoresheet yesterday but sadly for St Johnstone fans it was for his new | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
club, Sheffield Wednesday. The big question in Perth is how St | :30:56. | :30:58. | |
Johnstone will cope without his goals. They faced a stern test | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
yesterday, Aberdeen at McDiarmid Park. Rob MacLean was there for us. | :31:03. | :31:12. | |
COMMENTATOR: Gary MacDonald and Lee Croft brought into the starting | :31:13. | :31:19. | |
line-up for St Johnstone. Aberdeen club captain Russell Anderson is | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
back in action on grass having stayed away from Camara's artificial | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
pitch. He replaces Taylor in central defence. -- from Kilmarnock's | :31:29. | :31:33. | |
artificial pitch. In from what the spoon. Gary MacDonald with a near | :31:34. | :31:38. | |
post header. It flashed wide of target. | :31:39. | :31:52. | |
That backpass is not finding Jamie Langfield. Steven MacLean with a | :31:53. | :32:00. | |
golden chance for the opening goal. He can't quite believe he hasn't | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
taken the opportunity here. What was Jonny Hayes thinking? Steven MacLean | :32:05. | :32:13. | |
clips the out side of the post. Steven MacLean lining up for the | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
shot. Langfield spills it and Gary MacDonald... He must have thought he | :32:18. | :32:24. | |
was scoring here. Poor goalkeeping from Langfield. Should have been | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
punished. St Johnstone miss another chance. In from Logan. Consett dine. | :32:28. | :32:36. | |
A thumping header so close to putting Aberdeen ahead. -- | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
Considine. They could have been 1-0 in front. | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
Miller's packs. Lee Croft threads it through for Steven MacLean in a good | :32:48. | :33:00. | |
position. There is both Halloran. The shot was blocked by Andy | :33:01. | :33:07. | |
Considine. St Johnstone are screaming penalty, claiming handball | :33:08. | :33:08. | |
against the Aberdeen defender. Chris Miller was bundled over by | :33:09. | :33:16. | |
Ryan Jack. Free kick quickly taken. Will Halloran looks to make | :33:17. | :33:31. | |
something happen for Steven MacLean, and he does fact or! Steven MacLean | :33:32. | :33:43. | |
strikes against his old team. Sharpshooting. Not picked up. He | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
started the move and he finishes it. A yellow card which doesn't wipe the | :33:50. | :33:58. | |
smile off his face. A miscue by Scobey. David Goodwill E is in here | :33:59. | :34:03. | |
with a shot that rebound is off the chest of McManus. In a game of | :34:04. | :34:09. | |
precious few opportunities for Aberdeen, that was half a chance for | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
the substitute to strike. Aberdeen chasing an equaliser. | :34:13. | :34:26. | |
Robson's pass. Down goes Peter Pawlett. That will be a yellow card | :34:27. | :34:33. | |
for diving. There was a brush therewith Scobey 's not enough to | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
knock over Peter Pawlett and he's booked for that. At the very least | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
we should be the moaning the fact it was 0-0. But we lost a poor goal and | :34:46. | :34:52. | |
we were chasing it from there on in. We had a couple of opportunities | :34:53. | :34:55. | |
ourselves. We should maybe do better. We got into decent areas but | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
were not convincing in the final third. A poor afternoon's work for | :35:00. | :35:06. | |
others. We emphasise the importance of starting the game. If you don't | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
start the game well it is so difficult in this league. We started | :35:14. | :35:16. | |
well and were competitive from the first whistle and that helped build | :35:17. | :35:22. | |
the overall performance. Great win for St Johnstone. Steven MacLean has | :35:23. | :35:25. | |
three goals already. He had 11 last season. Could he get anywhere near | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
the Stevie May total of 27? The onus is on him to get more goals, I think | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
you can get more than 15. It is not just his goals, his intelligence. | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
After the free kick he has space to run into. It is not the Aberdeen | :35:42. | :35:48. | |
midfield's job to track him but they switch off. He runs onto the back | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
watch row. He gains the yard, and that intelligence, that is what gets | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
him away. I think Russell Anderson's eyes were taken off the | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
run of Macdonald when he comes into the box. They contested finish and | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
he's a good player. Did Peter Pawlett deserve his yellow card? It | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
is a bit like Christie at Inverness. It is theatrical, not a natural | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
fall. I think she gets lent on a little bit. You can see why he | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
wasn't given the penalty. I think yellow card is harsh. He has been | :36:25. | :36:30. | |
blocked so me times before for diving. He has gone down | :36:31. | :36:34. | |
theatrically. I don't think it's a penalty kick. It's hard to give | :36:35. | :36:39. | |
yellow but Craig Thomson produces it. Controversial. Were Aberdeen | :36:40. | :36:45. | |
below par? Are other teams raising their game against them? Definitely. | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
Aberdeen with their performances last year, winning the cup. We | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
tipped them to be second. But they are now a scalp for other teams and | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
they will have to handle that as other teams raise their game. We | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
finish with St Mirren against Dundee. Could Paul Hartley's side, | :37:02. | :37:10. | |
Dundee, build on the positive signs of their return to the top flight? | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
COMMENTATOR: Tommy Craig makes two changes to the side that lost to | :37:16. | :37:19. | |
Hamilton ten days ago. Jim Goodwin returns from suspension and bears a | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
home debut for Adam Drury who joined midweek from Manchester City on | :37:25. | :37:30. | |
loan. McBride comes in for Simon Ferry who was injured in the warm up | :37:31. | :37:36. | |
for Dundee. Teenage striker Craig Whiten replaces Peter MacDonald | :37:37. | :37:37. | |
upfront. Good ball to Maclean. He cuts it | :37:38. | :37:54. | |
back. Adam Drury with the effort but cleared by the Dundee defence. The | :37:55. | :38:01. | |
shot comes in by Naismith. Cleared away by the Dundee defence. | :38:02. | :38:09. | |
Naismith, the goalkeeper got a hand to the ball to push it away. Long | :38:10. | :38:13. | |
throw cleared but Adam Drury on the volley. What a debut that would have | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
been for Adam Drury. On the volley from 12 yards out. But high over the | :38:20. | :38:27. | |
crossbar. Paul McGinn, former St Mirren player, tackled by Jim | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
Goodwin. A long ball through to Whiten. Good chances for Dundee as | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
they have men forward. Harkins is all alone at the back post but it | :38:39. | :38:42. | |
was a poor first touch which allows the St Mirren defence to get back | :38:43. | :38:47. | |
again. Harkins, a great chance at the back post. Acres of space. His | :38:48. | :38:52. | |
first touch took the ball too far away and it gives the defence time | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
to get back. Maclean's Corner punched away by the goalkeeper. Good | :38:57. | :39:05. | |
cross deep to the back post, knocked back. Naismith with the shot but it | :39:06. | :39:10. | |
is cleared away. It was Kevin McBride putting his body on the | :39:11. | :39:11. | |
line. is cleared away. It was Kevin | :39:12. | :39:17. | |
McBride putting his Naismith from just eight yards out. Good ball | :39:18. | :39:25. | |
again. Maclean. Adam Drury at the back post. If you can find him... He | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
does but again his shot goes over the top of the crossbar. What a | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
chance that was. Possibly the best of the game for St Mirren. Great | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
ball by Maclean but not so good a finish by Adam Drury. A number of | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
former buddies in the Dundee line-up this afternoon. Here's one of them, | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
Gary Harkins. Long ball over the top cleared. A chance for Peter | :39:50. | :39:54. | |
MacDonald. Good save by the goalkeeper. The Saints defence, it | :39:55. | :40:01. | |
was Goodwin who cleared it. McDonald, he's only been on a few | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
minutes as substitute. That was a terrific stop by the former Hearts | :40:06. | :40:06. | |
keeper. A long, high ball. Macdonald has | :40:07. | :40:19. | |
beaten the offside trap. Great first touch and great finish from Peter | :40:20. | :40:20. | |
MacDonald to give Dundee the lead. It was the first touch by Macdonald | :40:21. | :40:32. | |
that made the goal. It took him away from the Saints' defence. The | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
goalkeeper with little chance. Great finish from the striker. | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
Maclean with the corner. Another chance. Cleared away once again. A | :40:44. | :40:52. | |
fantastic stop. Jason Naismith again. I thought we worked hard. We | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
competed in terms of possession and passing the ball. But we are away | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
from home. We had to grind out the result, had a few chances and the | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
keeper made some saves but we will take the three points. A solid start | :41:06. | :41:12. | |
so far. I want us to keep playing the way we are playing. I'm a firm | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
believer in what we are doing. I know the fans will be frustrated and | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
angry and they understand because they care about the club but overall | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
I think we did more than enough to win the game today. Good victory for | :41:24. | :41:28. | |
Dundee as their solid start to the season continues. Not St Mirren's | :41:29. | :41:34. | |
day yesterday. You had 27 minutes off the bench yesterday. Peter | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
MacDonald was the striker who stole the show. What do you make of his | :41:38. | :41:44. | |
goal? And tested. Poor from us defensively. -- fantastic. His | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
finish was excellent. He had a couple of efforts on goal and he | :41:50. | :41:52. | |
caused us problems when he came on as substitute. Whether he was | :41:53. | :41:59. | |
intending to go there, his first touch, he does not need a second and | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
he slots it home. Plenty of chances yesterday for St Mirren. You were | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
there but why couldn't they take those chances? I think it's | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
confidence. They have new players at the club and they need something to | :42:14. | :42:20. | |
happen for them. Jason Naismith had a lot of good opportunities in the | :42:21. | :42:23. | |
match and he didn't take them but I would be more worried if we were | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
looking disjointed and disorganised, weren't creating and passing, but we | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
are doing all of those things and playing well. We just need something | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
to drop for us which will be the catalyst for us to go on a run. This | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
was the pick of the bunch. Young Adam probably should have done | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
better. Jason had four attempts from right back yesterday. We are playing | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
well but are missing the final touch. Not hitting the panic button. | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
The McGinn brothers were up against each other. John against Paul. How | :42:54. | :43:00. | |
did you gauge that? I think John was apprehensive knowing he was playing | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
against his big brother. They are both great lads and they never | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
shirked any challenges. Both getting fired into each other. I thought | :43:09. | :43:11. | |
they both had good games. They were possibly more up for it because they | :43:12. | :43:14. | |
were against each other. This was the funniest. A little brotherly | :43:15. | :43:22. | |
love. Their mum can sort it out later when they get home. I think | :43:23. | :43:27. | |
Paul was going to apologise to John for tackling. I don't think Paul | :43:28. | :43:37. | |
Hartley was best pleased. Great victory for Dundee yesterday. Paul | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
Hartley is doing well so far. Three draws and a win, six points, that is | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
all you can ask for. They work hard. I thought St Mirren have the edge | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
yesterday and they were the team who looked like they might win. But the | :43:51. | :43:53. | |
hard work and endeavour got them that result in the end. At least one | :43:54. | :43:59. | |
substitute made an impact yesterday. Peter MacDonald was inspirational in | :44:00. | :44:03. | |
getting them that victory. Billy and Stephen, thank you very much will | :44:04. | :44:06. | |
stop six games this weekend, what does it mean in terms of the | :44:07. | :44:11. | |
Premiership table this evening? Inverness remained proudly on top | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
with ten points after that victory over Celtic. | :44:17. | :44:27. | |
There is a long way to go. The season has just started. We are back | :44:28. | :44:35. | |
next week. Until then, from all of us, good night. | :44:36. | :44:40. |
