Penalties in the SPL last weekend and two out of three featured Jim | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
good win, who will talk us through the Christmas Eve action. Rangers | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
received a couple of cards they could have done without in Paisley | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
and suffered defeat which cut their advantage at the top of the league | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
to a single point. It was October 2008 and Stephen | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
McGinn scored the only goal of the game. | :01:34. | :01:44. | |
St Mirren this time recalled a defender and Alan Mooy, which was a | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
good shout. Hasselbaink was on the bench. | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
Hafr at this available after illness, Lee McCulloch started as | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:04. | ||
Rangers will be top of the tree in the SPL at Christmas, but by how | :02:04. | :02:14. | |
:02:14. | :02:40. | ||
to get themselves ahead. Lafferty Rangers goal and Wallace gets | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
:02:50. | :03:17. | ||
the box and prodded the ball passed whistle goes before the ball gets | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
:03:27. | :03:27. | ||
into the penalty pox. Carey, it's a red card for Lee McCulloch. | :03:27. | :03:37. | |
:03:37. | :04:05. | ||
The midfielder sent off for that 44 minutes and St Mirren get what | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
they feel they deserve at the end of the first half, it is a | :04:09. | :04:19. | |
:04:19. | :04:36. | ||
Inside stoppage time, it is the last kick of the first half. St | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Mirren have turned this game around against Rangers. Great timing on | :04:41. | :04:50. | |
:04:51. | :05:18. | ||
here. Gary Teale's free-kick. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
McAusland with a chance he wasn't expecting. | :05:23. | :05:33. | |

:07:43. | :07:43. | ||
Tating. It's not the finest moment in my | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
career. I should know better, not to get involved. If you had known | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
you were going to get a ban, would you have given a better ban Joe. | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
It was a delight to get the goal at the time. It was a very deserved | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
point. Let's look back at key moments in the match on Saturday | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
much the red card for Lee McCulloch, Rangers will appeal. Did it all | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
stem, do you think, from that Carey's challenge which earned him | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
a yellow? Yes, Graham does catch ma cull oak with his leg and probably | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
deserved the booking. It so happens that Graham was designated | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
McCulloch for corners. I was there last week, in the heat of the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
moment. As soon as he throws the elbow out, he realises he shouldn't | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
have done it. I think he's made the right decision. The appeal allows | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
McCulloch to play on Wednesday night. And also on the 2nd. Is what | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
Rangers are doing, does it make them believe this is worthy of an | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
appeal? Looking at those pictures there, it is obviously to see Steve | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
McLean in the matter other than to show him the red card. You can say | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
it is manipulating the system. McCulloch is an important player | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
for Rangers. They want one of their main players available for | :09:27. | :09:37. | |
Wednesday night. Were these yellow cards any different? No, I think | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
Gary Teale shows a great ability there to knock it through his legs. | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
Goian knows he's passed him and he pulls him back. | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
Both instances are identical and I think the referee is left with no | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
other option but to show him a second yellow. Paul MacGowan has | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
said he reckons, another red card for Rangers Lafferty booked for | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
that, could that have been a dismissal? I have seen players sent | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
off in the past for that, but on this occasion a yellow card was | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
sufficient. A lot was made of the comments after the game, but I | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
don't think he meant to highlight it as much as it has come out. A | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
yellow card for Lafferty there seems fair. There was some football | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
played, good football played in the first half particularly by your | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
team. Mooy hasn't featured that much. He looksed a player. | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
Fantastic young talent. He shows terrific individual skill to create | :10:49. | :10:59. | |
:10:59. | :11:01. | ||
that opportunity for the striker. He is a great asset to the team. | :11:01. | :11:11. | |
:11:11. | :11:12. | ||
MacGowan the Man of the Match? Absolutely. A great pass from there. | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
:11:22. | :11:23. | ||
Papac, a great goal, great composure from MacGowan. Four | :11:23. | :11:29. | |
points for St Mirren against Rangers this season. This was a | :11:29. | :11:38. | |
fantastic goal. Is there a concern that you get up for games like this | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
and other games you find more difficult getting motivated? I am | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
not sure it is a lack of motivation. Playing against the Old Firm team | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
it doesn't take much motivation. We have a really tough task again on | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
Wednesday night at home to Dundee United and we need to show the same | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
commitment we showed on Saturday against Dundee United on Wednesday. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
We shouldn't be too surprised that Hearts beating have lots of | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
experience of dealing with distractions. Paul Mitchell was at | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
:12:25. | :12:44. | ||
figures for Motherwell this season. His first season for the club of | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
:12:54. | :12:54. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds | :12:54. | :14:17. | |
where this was going. Came off the David Templeton is having a fine | :14:17. | :14:27. | |
:14:27. | :15:05. | ||
match and Stephen Elliott helps David Templeton and the youngster | :15:05. | :15:15. | |
:15:15. | :15:52. | ||
can smile, he nearly scored MacGowan looking for Hirst first | :15:52. | :16:02. | |
:16:02. | :16:02. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds | :16:02. | :17:31. | |
monkeys, dusting off the crisis headlines for the Tynecastle team | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
but they have a lot of good players and they are capable of a good | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
performance and a good result, which beating Motherwell is. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Motherwell have a tremendous away record this season. Hearts had to | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
be at their best to beat them. It shows tremendous character for the | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
Hearts players. To go out and play as well as they did on Saturday and | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
get a much needed three points was terrific for them. Templeton was | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
all over the match. You wonder whether all the disruption at | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
Hearts demote vaits players but I guess the other side is they are | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
potentially in the shop win der, they are selling themselves for | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
January? Absolutely. Templeton had a great season last year. This | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
season they have been inconsistent from what he is capable of but | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
shows what he is capable of doing there on Saturday, involved in both | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
goals and had a terrific all round afternoon. I guess looking at it | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
from a Motherwell point of view, a bad day at the office covers it for | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
them and they have to look at the big picture. What a first half of | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
the season they have had. Like you say they have had a bad day and | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
they will roll their sleeves up and get back to work on Wednesday. | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
St Johnstone ended their three match losing run with a three | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
pointer at East End Park. Dunfermline have gone through the | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
first half of the SPL season without a home win. The best of the | :19:06. | :19:16. | |
:19:16. | :19:22. | ||
Dunfermline. Barrowman's long range effort, left the goal gaping | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
narrowly off target. Not for the first time in recent weeks, | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
Enckelman in nos bleed territory, getting away with it this time. | :19:32. | :19:41. | |
That was as cheery as Christmas Eve got for McIntyre. Dunn fernl Lynn's | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
goalkeeper punched the ball into his own net. 1-0 Saints, not the | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
best way to mark your first game of the season. | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
From this point on it was pretty much of the St Johnstone show. | :19:56. | :20:05. | |
Craig testing Smith. Sandazza got the ball off across the crossfire. | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
Sandazza and Craig a constant menace to the defence. They really | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
should have scored. This should have been the chance | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
for Chris Smith to shine but after his first half, a shot from Haber | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
and Sandazza pounced to put St Johnstone into a 2-0 win. The | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
nightmare before Christmas for Chris Smith and Thompson seemingly | :20:37. | :20:47. | |
:20:47. | :20:56. | ||
easy in the end for the Saints. Sandazza at the centre of things as | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
well. He thinks St Johnstone should be aiming to finish third in the | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
SPL. Hibs might be able to to spend their way out of this and | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
Dunfermline don't have that sort of money. Yes, the financial situation | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
at Dunfermline has been well docks umented, but I am sure McIntyre and | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
his assistant have worked hard in recent weeks to try and sort out | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
the defensive problems, but from a manager's point of view it is | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
difficult for them for some of the individual errors that have been | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
costing them. You don't have to be a football technician to look at | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
this series of defensive lapses from recent games and see where it | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
is all going wrong. Absolutely. Gallagher, a terrific goalkeeper, | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
he was missing on Saturday through through injury, but there is only | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
so much a goalkeeper can do. He hasn't been getting a lot of | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
protection this year year That indecision can spread through | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
defence. Confidence is key. When you are near the bottom, everything | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
seems to go against you and for Dunfermline they don't seem to be | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
getting any breaks. Inverness are ending the year by edging away from | :22:22. | :22:32. | |
:22:32. | :22:36. | ||
the bottom of the SPL after a home win against Aberdeen. | :22:36. | :22:42. | |
Inverness were creating their own problems early on. The goalkeeper | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
was tested by George ma again is. Aberdeen captain Richard foster a | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
bit more exposed. Inverness midfielder day lis took full | :22:54. | :23:04. | |
:23:04. | :23:04. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds | :23:04. | :23:58. | |
director's box and Inverness went and then they carved a chance for | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
Aberdeen to hit back. Fallon struck it home to give them some hope with | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
14 minutes of the match left to play. | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
Aberdeen looking to keep their good Russ of run of form going. | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
The Dons Threw it all forward for an equaliser. | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
Inverness held on for their third home win of the season. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Inverness scored both goals from corners. Craig Brown wasn't happy | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
because he wants a man on each post at corner kicks. Jason Brown | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
started off here, before the corner was taken and there is a man on | :24:47. | :24:57. | |
:24:57. | :25:01. | ||
each post. By the time it is taken by Hays that's changed. Sod's law. | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
I am sure Craig Brown will have a lot to say. This was number two. | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
:25:17. | :25:19. | ||
This shot sneaks in again nobody on the back post. The goalkeeper does | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
move people around a lot. Sometimes an extra man comes into the box and | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
you need to take somebody off the post. Inverness beginning to find | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
their rightful position in the table, do you think? Absolutely. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
Inverness for a long time have been near the bottom, but unjustly I | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
feel. Some of their performances have been terrific. Ibrox last | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
weekend, probably should have won the game or got something from the | :25:45. | :25:55. | |
:25:55. | :25:57. | ||
game. They have terrific young players. If Tade gets some goal- | :25:57. | :26:07. | |

are very keen to turn things around Armstrong gave it away. A terrific | :27:28. | :27:37. | |
goal from Griffiths. He's been giving belters for the | :27:37. | :27:47. | |
:27:47. | :27:59. | ||
fans. He gets his fourth of the He's wanting a corner. | :27:59. | :28:09. | |

Stephen and Armstrong. Suddenly united are in the mood. | :29:41. | :29:51. | |
:29:51. | :30:06. | ||
That turns things round. United are 2-1 up. | :30:06. | :30:16. | |

It's been all about their second three points and it will be four | :30:58. | :31:05. | |
defeats in a row for Hibs. John Daly seldom misses this kind | :31:05. | :31:15. | |
:31:15. | :31:46. | ||
can reshape his squad next month. I would imagine Lee Griffiths is one | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
to hold on to. He would like to hold on to Griffiths, that is on | :31:51. | :31:56. | |
going between Hibs and Wolves at the moment. Hibs want him personal | :31:56. | :32:01. | |
nent. But he is a terrific forward. I can see why they want to keep him | :32:01. | :32:11. | |
:32:11. | :32:15. | ||
there. He is a lively striker. He shows determination, he doesn't | :32:15. | :32:23. | |
give up, he presses the goalkeeper. John Daly took his team's tally to | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
12. He creeps up unnoticed sometimes with his goals. You know | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
him well from your time together at Stockport. He is one of the best in | :32:32. | :32:37. | |
the league, no doubt about that. Very clever there, good movement. | :32:37. | :32:41. | |
Managing to get across in the last second. What I like about him is | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
he's willing to miss chances and he does miss them at times, but it | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
doesn't seem to bother them because he comes back for more. He is in | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
the right place to miss them. He picks himself up, gets on with it | :32:55. | :33:01. | |
and inevitably finds the net. real presence, John Daly. Celtic's | :33:01. | :33:09. | |

His second goal of the afternoon. What a strike from Racchi. | :38:07. | :38:12. | |
They just have a few minutes left on the clock. Kilmarnock are back | :38:12. | :38:22. | |
:38:22. | :38:22. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds | :38:22. | :39:03. | |
in it. This is a terrific day for cheer for Celtic. Saturday a big | :39:03. | :39:08. | |
day for them, bearing in mind what happened in Paisley. Samaras was | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
the star man. Did he rediscover his form against your team in this | :39:13. | :39:17. | |
game? He scores against us here obviously. Samaras in the past has | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
come in for a lot of stick for inconsistency but I think along | :39:22. | :39:27. | |
with Forest he's been one of the Celtic's most influential players | :39:27. | :39:32. | |
of recent weeks. Really attacking of the goal to score the header, | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
something he's not been associated with of late. This is a good finish | :39:36. | :39:43. | |
as well. At times Samaras when he is on form he can be incredible. | :39:43. | :39:49. | |
Absolutely. He has that ability that he can go either way, he can | :39:49. | :39:54. | |
go left or right. He has power and gets divo important goals for | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
Celtic to keep their winning streak going. Celtic had to set off on | :39:58. | :40:05. | |
this winning run and they really have delivered in style. Absolutely. | :40:05. | :40:10. | |
They showed great character as a team. It hasn't been pretty a lot | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
of the time. That will please Neil Lennon that they have been able to | :40:15. | :40:20. | |
show strength and character to see games out. Even Saturday's game, I | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
don't think they played particularly well but managed to | :40:24. | :40:31. | |
keep the winning run going and keep the momentum going until Wednesday. | :40:31. | :40:37. | |
James forest chipped in with a few, the goals have been spread around | :40:37. | :40:45. | |
the team as well. Yes. Hooper, Samaras, stokes, but it is | :40:45. | :40:51. | |
important for all the good teams to score goals from all over the park. | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
Celtic have done that. It has been an incredible swing in the last | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
seven weeks. When you look back to the early days of November, when at | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
one point it got to 15 of a difference and now it is back to | :41:04. | :41:09. | |
one. That is called momentum for Celtic. Yes, Celtic have gone from | :41:09. | :41:16. | |
strength to strength and Rangers have had a bit of a blip in form. | :41:16. | :41:26. | |
:41:26. | :41:27. | ||
The loss of Stephen Naismith has affected Celtic greatly. | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
mention Naismith. He scored twice in the first Old Firm match of the | :41:31. | :41:37. | |
season. When you relive this, this might have little or no relevance | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
to what happened on Wednesday night but it probably does underline what | :41:42. | :41:48. | |
Naismith offers for Rangers. Yes. Obviously we know how important is | :41:48. | :41:54. | |
to Rangers but I don't think they realised how important Naismith was | :41:54. | :41:59. | |
until now. His energy and he was a very clever player. He plays | :41:59. | :42:05. | |
between the lines very well and he has been a huge loss. Celtic are, | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
the team have great momentum, but their form goes out the window in | :42:10. | :42:15. | |
these big games and it is all about the team who are hungry on the day. | :42:15. | :42:22. | |
It will be an interesting one to see what the outcome is. If you | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
offered Rangers a one point lead going into this second Old Firm | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
match they would have taken it but not in these circumstances where | :42:29. | :42:35. | |
they had such a big advantage and whittled down to a single figure. | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
There's a number of people maybe thinking that the league title was | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
over in October. Full credit to Celtic, they have kept going, they | :42:44. | :42:47. | |
have done everything that has been asked of them and Rangers have | :42:47. | :42:53. | |
slipped up along the way. It makes for an Dr Encounter on Wednesday | :42:53. | :43:03. | |
