:07:23. > :07:25.bounce back, and think about getting out of the Scottish Cup, after their
:07:26. > :07:35.continental adventure came to an abrupt end on Wednesday. -- it would
:07:36. > :07:43.be an thinkable to go out of the Scottish Cup. I come looking at
:07:44. > :07:48.Celtic's permission, but they would go with a 4-4 -1, but a diamond in
:07:49. > :07:57.the field Mulgrew dropping off, with Brown in plain of them -- play in
:07:58. > :08:02.front of them. Comments gives a wonderful goal for Celtic. Hearts
:08:03. > :08:08.ripped open here in the opening few minutes. Celtic take a big step

:08:33. > :08:42.into that far corner, wonder. For Celtic. -- a wonderful start for
:08:43. > :08:48.Celtic. Celtic might have had a bad hangover
:08:49. > :08:54.after Tuesday. The good thing for Hearts, despite losing the early
:08:55. > :08:55.goal, not looking too rocky. They have created a couple of other
:08:56. > :09:16.opportunities. Apologising there,
:09:17. > :09:26.through some dodgers there. Just does not get it on target.
:09:27. > :09:41.A Celtic free kick. They are taking it quickly. Kris Commons making it
:09:42. > :09:52.two. Celtic take out their insurance policy in the capital. It is Kris
:09:53. > :09:58.Commons with a double. It is 2-0 to Celtic. Game over already? You would
:09:59. > :10:10.think so. Experience shows. Maybe someone talking to them. Commons was
:10:11. > :10:16.to the right. Only six or seven yard dark from Kris Commons, but when he
:10:17. > :10:25.gets there, he is showing the left boot. But Hearts completely switch
:10:26. > :10:36.off all stop --. Kris Commons into double figures for the season.
:10:37. > :10:43.That would have been some way to get the hat-trick for Kris Commons. It
:10:44. > :10:50.is movement getting himself between centre half and right full-back.
:10:51. > :10:58.Once he gets this full-back, you can see the awareness, where McDonald
:10:59. > :11:04.is. A decent save from him. Dundee United manager, and assistant
:11:05. > :11:19.manager coach, two former Celtic players, of course.
:11:20. > :11:29.Mulgrew was trying to play in Stokes. Growing making it three, and
:11:30. > :11:37.Celtic surely now through to the fifth round! Just beyond the
:11:38. > :11:44.half-hour mark at Tynecastle. It is the Celtic captain, Scott Brown, and
:11:45. > :11:52.it is 3-0 to the holders. It is that area. From stalks, -- Stokes. That
:11:53. > :11:59.movement is killing Hearts. Even though McGee is young, he has to be
:12:00. > :12:03.more aware. He hits the shot, deflected into the post from Joe
:12:04. > :12:11.Ledley, then it falls to the ones that Hearts fans did not wanted to
:12:12. > :12:15.fall to, Scott Brown, with the easiest of tap ins, and it really is
:12:16. > :12:28.game over, you would think. We do not want this to be a
:12:29. > :12:38.trouncing. But it looks to be that way. Just a little tight, giving go
:12:39. > :12:41.again, gets its debt, probably from Stokes, just wraps the food around
:12:42. > :12:48.it. That is the deepest Kris Commons has
:12:49. > :13:05.been in play today. An early ball, and the fourth
:13:06. > :13:11.arrives! Joe Ledley, who scored in last season's final, ensures that
:13:12. > :13:16.Celtic are taking a Sunday stroll down easy Street in this fourth
:13:17. > :13:21.round tie. 4-0, not even have time. Working from left-to-right, out to
:13:22. > :13:27.Nir Biton. The fullbacks going forward. What a ball that was. A
:13:28. > :13:33.forward thinking midfielder, or forward, getting a tap in, and Joe
:13:34. > :13:43.Ledley does exactly that. Brilliant again from Celtic. What a ball!
:13:44. > :13:52.The Celtic fans will be absolutely loving this. As a Hearts fan in
:13:53. > :13:58.particular, it is tough viewing. And there was the fifth, and what affect
:13:59. > :14:07.it was from Mikael Lustig, an absolute stunner, putting Hearts to
:14:08. > :14:11.the sword! Hearts were caught on the park there, a few coming forward, we
:14:12. > :14:17.talked about that, but Mikael Lustig breaks forward into the centre area,
:14:18. > :14:22.cuts in the central area, with Stokes making the run, but not using
:14:23. > :14:35.him, hitting it from 25 yards, and it flies over McDonald. A great
:14:36. > :14:43.side, isn't it? -- great strike. You feel for Hearts, 5-0 down, young
:14:44. > :14:52.manager, we do they go from here? -- where do they go? Some great play
:14:53. > :14:59.there from Jamie Walker. Not even getting the bonus of a consolation.
:15:00. > :15:04.He keeps his clean sheet. A great touch from Fraser Forster. A fine
:15:05. > :15:10.distinctive save. Walker again, positive one, gets through. He
:15:11. > :15:15.wanted a penalty, but good effort from him.
:15:16. > :15:22.And it is half-time and, Hearts will be gutted that it is not full time,
:15:23. > :15:29.they want this game over and done with. We have an under believable --
:15:30. > :15:36.we have an unbelievable scored line of 5-0 to Celtic. And that is Brad
:15:37. > :15:40.Mackay, defender, replacing David Smith, who is playing on the right
:15:41. > :15:47.of midfield in that first half. We shall get to Billy's. In a second.
:15:48. > :15:53.-- we shall get to Billy's thinking on that in a second. The biggest
:15:54. > :15:57.loss for Hearts was a 7-0 lost on New Year's Day 1973 against
:15:58. > :16:02.Hibernian, a at Tynecastle. They will look to salvage some pride
:16:03. > :16:20.from proceedings tonight. Try to work it back to the big Dutch
:16:21. > :16:33.man, who likes to get forward when he can. How does it look Hearts are
:16:34. > :16:36.going? Just trying that defensive mid-field.
:16:37. > :16:55.To set and protect and try and get a hold of the Celtic movement.
:16:56. > :17:01.Commons - Stokes comes back to Ledley, who fires it across. Back to
:17:02. > :17:06.Commons agains. It is a penalty kick and Celtic too have the chance for a
:17:07. > :17:12.sixth. You with bet Commons will try and find this ball. He'll want the
:17:13. > :17:19.hat trick. Just rubbing it in, isn't it? We'll get a look at it. Ledley
:17:20. > :17:27.could have had the strike. Back to Commons. I cannot believe
:17:28. > :17:40.that, to be honest. His hands are down - it is not a natural... It
:17:41. > :17:47.could be Commons' day. Celtic looking for a sixth.
:17:48. > :17:53.And they have it! And he has his hat trick!
:17:54. > :17:58.That's clinical from Commons. Don't expect anything else with the day
:17:59. > :18:03.he's having. Even when MacDonald goes the right way, there's no
:18:04. > :18:06.chance he's stopping that. Wonderful from Commons, right into the bottom
:18:07. > :18:12.corner. And they got this penalty because of
:18:13. > :18:18.this handball from Wilson. What can Wilson do there? He's tried to get
:18:19. > :18:24.his hand behind his back. Commons is only two yards away.
:18:25. > :18:28.Celtic are winning 6-0. But individually you have to look at
:18:29. > :18:35.that goal. It is a poor, poor decision. How hearts heart -- Hearts
:18:36. > :18:41.would love to have that man. He's scored twice in the final against
:18:42. > :18:47.Hibs. He's a legend, in his first spell, let alone the second. He
:18:48. > :19:01.scored in the 2006 time as well on penalties. Could have made a
:19:02. > :19:08.difference today? No! Hamill! Almost. A good strike. We talked
:19:09. > :19:32.about the this. Gets his shot away. MacDonald.
:19:33. > :19:38.Stokes clipping it in. Yes - seven!
:19:39. > :19:45.Hearts are heading just now for a record defeat, it seems. Brown
:19:46. > :19:52.leathers home Celtic's seventh. It is seventh heaven for the holders!
:19:53. > :19:57.That was a good save from MacDonald, right away - it comes through, was
:19:58. > :20:03.it, I think McKay's legs. Brown has the strike. Takes the deflection.
:20:04. > :20:11.MacDonald had gone the wrong way. Going for you, going for you - a
:20:12. > :20:22.decent strike. Good technique from Brown. And the deflection. Gets them
:20:23. > :20:26.the seventh. Boerrigter comes on to replace Commons. List on the the
:20:27. > :20:38.ovation this man is about to receive. Quite rightly so.
:20:39. > :20:49.Gets it back from Stokes. It has found Boerrigter. Celtic
:20:50. > :20:54.corner. That deflection nearly got him that
:20:55. > :21:04.hat trick. A lovely cross. Knocked down by Boerrigter. Celtic's eighth
:21:05. > :21:15.nearly. He will be... Ledley. And now
:21:16. > :21:20.Ambrose. And there is the final whistle.
:21:21. > :21:28.Celtic celebrate a magnificent victory and a magnificent victory to
:21:29. > :21:33.celebrate Neil Lennon's 200th game in charge of the club. From the
:21:34. > :21:39.third minute they did not look back. Commons completed his hat trick.
:21:40. > :21:44.Scott Brown got the third on 32. Ledley scored the fourth. A stun
:21:45. > :21:50.stunner right on half time made it 5-0 before the interval. Commons
:21:51. > :21:55.adding the sixth just shy of the hour mark, before Brown volleyed
:21:56. > :21:59.home after a deflection to make it seven.
:22:00. > :22:03.Scott Brown goes up the tunnel. Two goals himself today. He's got his
:22:04. > :22:06.eye on the double himself this season. It finished incredibly here
:22:07. > :22:14.at Tynecastle. Is that about as close to perfection
:22:15. > :22:18.as you could have asked for this afternoon? It is the best
:22:19. > :22:23.performance I've had in my time as manager. You always look for me, but
:22:24. > :22:27.in terms of Utopia it is as good as it gets. It is as we've tried to
:22:28. > :22:31.build this team. That is the way we want them to play and the way we
:22:32. > :22:35.want Celtic team to play. It was everything I could have asked for.
:22:36. > :22:41.Is that an afternoon to forget or to learn a hard lesson from? We have to
:22:42. > :22:46.get it out of the system as quickly as possible. There is a lot to learn
:22:47. > :22:50.from it. We did miss out in the game. We lost a poor goal and you
:22:51. > :22:57.know sometimes you have to hold your hands up. We're a young side, but we
:22:58. > :23:02.got out-classed today. The players around me make me the player I am.
:23:03. > :23:06.Without being slipped in from Charley and the others I am useless,
:23:07. > :23:12.but I am blessed with playing with such a good group of players. Did
:23:13. > :23:18.you have the shooting boots on today? It has been a long time since
:23:19. > :23:22.I last scored. Take them as they come. It is the hardest I have
:23:23. > :23:24.scored ever. A tap in and a deflection for the second. I'll take
:23:25. > :23:33.them all. A brilliant performance today. Great
:23:34. > :23:40.reaction following the European disappointment. Fulsome praise from
:23:41. > :23:43.Neil Lennon as well - it is massive praise when you consider some of the
:23:44. > :23:49.praise they've had during that time. To what extent were Celtic excellent
:23:50. > :23:55.and Hearts were awful? We have to analyse it like that. Celtic were
:23:56. > :24:00.brilliant. They were immense. They can only beat what is put in front
:24:01. > :24:04.of you. Celtic did that - their movement, their interchanging and
:24:05. > :24:09.you know, we have to look at it as well and say there was some poor
:24:10. > :24:13.defending from Hearts as well. Take nothing away from Celtic. They were
:24:14. > :24:17.clinical on the day. How impressed were you - especially given their
:24:18. > :24:25.disapointment mid-week? It is part of it. I think there's a reaction
:24:26. > :24:29.from the Celtic players that is what Neil Lennon wanted. The quick
:24:30. > :24:32.passing, good appreciation of the passes as well. And also the
:24:33. > :24:37.movement was great right from the first minute. They adapted to the
:24:38. > :24:40.new adapted system. They were playing, really, really well. From
:24:41. > :24:44.the start, it was great. We will talk about how poor Hearts were and
:24:45. > :24:49.reasons for. That but take nothing away from the Celtic performance.
:24:50. > :24:53.Neil Lennon is right to say it was a brilliant display. Probably no
:24:54. > :24:56.Celtic player reacted better than Commons, who was pretty much
:24:57. > :25:01.outstanding throughout the afternoon. The passing and the
:25:02. > :25:07.movement was great. I mentioned before there. It is a great finish.
:25:08. > :25:11.It is a difficult angle. Have a look here in the centre of the pitch. The
:25:12. > :25:18.normal thing is to go towards the ball, but no, he goes intelligently
:25:19. > :25:21.wide, to where the space is. The full back does help by diving in
:25:22. > :25:27.there. That is intelligent movement. Not the obvious place to go.
:25:28. > :25:32.The finish is superb. Everything they had done was superb. You see
:25:33. > :25:37.here again we could talk about the defending. He's just - it is an
:25:38. > :25:41.eight-yard run. He's in and he's run for it and he's put it in the far
:25:42. > :25:46.corner. So much game intelligence. Just head down there, but he knows
:25:47. > :25:50.where the goalkeeper is. He seals his day - it was a fine day for him
:25:51. > :25:54.with that penalty on the side net. He's got so much quality. He was
:25:55. > :25:58.great. At times Celtic were unstoppable.
:25:59. > :26:05.We'll talk more about that shortly. In terms of Hearts, how culpable
:26:06. > :26:08.were they in their own downfall A full circumstance wl the back to the
:26:09. > :26:15.ball. Maybe Wilson could come across. With the ball where it was
:26:16. > :26:23.rolled, it was rolled and they will show them this. Materially... This
:26:24. > :26:27.is a big problem. They played a high line a lot of the time. As well,
:26:28. > :26:32.play a high line and you leave a lot of space for a guy on the ball. They
:26:33. > :26:36.will always cause problems. It's not obvious that is what the initial
:26:37. > :26:41.problem is. He's scratching his head a little bit there. He'll know if
:26:42. > :26:46.you play have the high line, get tight every time with the
:26:47. > :26:51.mid-fielders. If you don't, they will destroy defence. Uncomfortable
:26:52. > :26:59.for Hearts' fans. I don't think we'll have many Hearts' viewers
:27:00. > :27:03.tonight, it is fair to say. Mesmerising. It was not the
:27:04. > :27:13.interchanging and the mid-field to the front ones. It was the - this
:27:14. > :27:22.goal sealed it for me. That's a ball that You love on the
:27:23. > :27:25.end of it. It is lovely. But this is another one. Here is your problem
:27:26. > :27:28.with the defence. Now they are scared to go out because they are
:27:29. > :27:33.caught behind it. You cannot give that much space and
:27:34. > :27:38.when you do, someone eventually has to go and nobody goes. Again it is
:27:39. > :27:44.just this naivety they have got. This inexperience they've got. They
:27:45. > :27:48.didn't know whether to come or go. Sometimes it was Commons, sometimes
:27:49. > :27:53.it was Stokes coming back there as well. They had no idea who to pick
:27:54. > :27:57.up. Celtic did not need a helping hand today, but they got it in the
:27:58. > :28:01.second half. You were very clear about your thoughts about this
:28:02. > :28:08.penalty. I don't suppose it has changed much. Cruel! As I said - and
:28:09. > :28:17.I stand by it - if we analyse Hearts and Celtic. Of look at the picture -
:28:18. > :28:28.eight yards away. Look at Wilson' arm, it is behind his back. It is
:28:29. > :28:34.cruel when you are 5-0 down. Has to be deliberate handball. Be
:28:35. > :28:39.serious... That is nowhere near deliberate. There's a psychological
:28:40. > :28:43.difference between six and seven. One thing about Hearts, they did
:28:44. > :28:47.keep on trying - particularly in that second half. By this point,
:28:48. > :28:50.Celtic have not taken their foot off the gas, but they are not playing as
:28:51. > :28:55.well. They are still playing well enough to get another couple of
:28:56. > :29:00.goals. Scott Brown becoming a goal machine, it seems. It seems cruel to
:29:01. > :29:04.talk in this way about Hearts, given all the problems they obviously have
:29:05. > :29:08.in the league and off the field - it is well documented - but that result
:29:09. > :29:12.has to be crushing in terms of their morale, you would imagine. Next
:29:13. > :29:16.weekend they are away to Dundee united in the Scottish premiership.
:29:17. > :29:21.How do they bounce back from this? It will be tough. You know, they
:29:22. > :29:27.have got a lot to fight for. They are fighting that relegation period.
:29:28. > :29:33.The festive period is coming up. Down to six points. They'll have toy
:29:34. > :29:38.wait that. They will be wiping it with Lock. You have to teach young
:29:39. > :29:42.lads. He'll tell them what he wanted from them. If they do that and get
:29:43. > :29:44.it out of their system and look forward to that relegation battle,
:29:45. > :29:55.then that is a way forward. I've had a 7-0 myself. It is how you
:29:56. > :30:00.fight back. A tough day. The fourth round of the
:30:01. > :30:04.Scottish Cup is a special time, for some clubs, et cetera specially
:30:05. > :30:09.those in the lower echelons. Sometimes, just sometimes we catch
:30:10. > :30:15.that illusive glimpse of the romance of the cup.
:30:16. > :30:25.Due to fire damage, Albion Rovers moved there match against Motherwell
:30:26. > :30:27.to New Douglas Park. They were vastly outnumbered by their
:30:28. > :30:31.Premiership opponents, and the chance for a class at shop, when
:30:32. > :30:42.Gary Phillips got his chance and did not miss. -- classic shock. It was
:30:43. > :30:52.almost cut short, but a missed chance, and it meant Albion Rovers
:30:53. > :30:56.have Dell Scottish Cup giant-killing scalp. A real moment to savour for
:30:57. > :31:02.the club where success has never come easy. It has to be the best,
:31:03. > :31:10.cannot compare it to anything, scoring a goal and a great Cup like
:31:11. > :31:17.that. The Stranraer captain led his side
:31:18. > :31:22.out at Clyde, after working through the night at the Glasgow helicopter
:31:23. > :31:26.crash. Thoughts go out to the friends, relatives and staff. A
:31:27. > :31:32.moment of silence, making you reflect, and I suppose it is things
:31:33. > :31:38.into perspective. We are still in the heart, probably lucky, I thought
:31:39. > :31:50.Clyde came out of the straps -- came out of the traps quickly. The second
:31:51. > :31:58.half, we were definitely better. A stunning free kick from Lee Currie
:31:59. > :32:03.looked like it might set the wee Rangers on their way, but Dumbarton
:32:04. > :32:14.bounce back, on the way to a 3-1 victory.
:32:15. > :32:20.Since taking over as Alloa manager, he is hotly tipped to take over the
:32:21. > :32:27.vacant managers job at Inverness. He masterminded their Cup progress.
:32:28. > :32:37.Graeme Holmes amongst the goals for Alloa, Graham Weir for Stirling
:32:38. > :32:42.Albion, but merely a consolation. Another league one side through to
:32:43. > :32:46.the last 16, Stenhousemuir progressing at the expense of
:32:47. > :32:59.Highland League said Fraserburgh. Ross McNeil have the double as
:33:00. > :33:06.Stenhousemuir ran out 3-0 winners. A crackling, dear I see it, Stormy
:33:07. > :33:13.Angus derby, three red cards, two red cards, we can sell you --
:33:14. > :33:18.Brechin City 1-0 in front, but Martyn Fotheringham equalised,
:33:19. > :33:30.sending them into Cup replay fever. Dunfermline athletic, in light blue,
:33:31. > :33:38.at Somerset Park, taking the lead through Andy Geggan. But 1-1 is
:33:39. > :33:51.hybrid with the news, Kevin Kyle with the knock-down, and Michael
:33:52. > :33:56.Donald with the equaliser. At the Falkirk Stadium, David
:33:57. > :34:02.McCracken's sending-off would be pivotal, as Rangers eventually find
:34:03. > :34:07.a route into the next round. The biggest moment of the game so far,
:34:08. > :34:11.and it is saved, Nicky Law with the effort, and it goes into the net,
:34:12. > :34:19.but the offside flag is up on the near side. Nicky Law puts Rangers
:34:20. > :34:28.surely into the fifth round of the Scottish Cup! They are definitely
:34:29. > :34:35.through now, David Templeton, in second-half stoppage time!
:34:36. > :34:40.No doubt, Albion Rovers, what an incredible result from them, and
:34:41. > :34:46.great to get that kind of shock. What will it mean for the club like
:34:47. > :34:51.Albion Rovers to put out Motherwell? Absolutely massive, David Ward
:34:52. > :34:58.there, Goodlad, I did my badges with him. He works away at small clubs
:34:59. > :35:01.and then gets his reward. It is hard graft working with small clubs, but
:35:02. > :35:08.they will enjoy every moment. You can just be it. It is so much joy
:35:09. > :35:14.for them. Seemed like an emotional moment for him as the manager, but
:35:15. > :35:19.the Gary Phillips, personal trainer, going back to the scene of his glory
:35:20. > :35:26.tomorrow, it must be magic. It must be magic. A fantastic moment for
:35:27. > :35:32.them. What does it mean to Albion Rovers? Talk to the bank manager.
:35:33. > :35:36.That is for sure. After a good start to the season, party this all have
:35:37. > :35:42.gone off the boil, in fact losing their last four matches, one of
:35:43. > :35:46.which was a 4-0 defeat to Aberdeen, facing them today. -- Partick
:35:47. > :35:57.Thistle have gone off the boil. It is advantage Aberdeen. They have
:35:58. > :36:00.scored the oven and conceded nine in two league meetings. If you are
:36:01. > :36:10.looking for or mince, when the teams have met, Aberdeen have lifted the
:36:11. > :36:20.trophy. Looking for omens. Thistle beset by problems. Some changes by
:36:21. > :36:25.Aberdeen, bringing back Barry Robson in the middle of the park. And Gregg
:36:26. > :36:33.Wylde replacing an injured Jonny Hayes on the wing. The match referee
:36:34. > :36:39.is Bobby Madden. A decent sized crowd. Inside Firhill for this
:36:40. > :37:23.match. And we are underway. Ballot -- Balatoni under some
:37:24. > :37:56.pressure there. Oswald in charge of the intervention.
:37:57. > :38:05.Throw well dealt with by Balatoni. The first corner kick of the match
:38:06. > :38:12.goes Aberdeen's way. Barry Robson to deliver this one. We will know what
:38:13. > :38:18.he is capable of in terms of delivery. That wand of a left foot.
:38:19. > :38:33.Thistle have to be on their guard here. Aberdeen have the lead, Andrew
:38:34. > :38:38.Considine, inside five min! -- minutes! It has put Derek McInnes'
:38:39. > :38:46.side in front. Terrific delivery from Barry Robson, as we have come
:38:47. > :38:50.to expect. Considine lost his marker and hit it emphatically past Scott
:38:51. > :38:59.Fox. The early advantage goes Aberdeen's way. Just the start they
:39:00. > :39:00.would have wanted. Just the start Partick Thistle must have been
:39:01. > :39:15.dreading. Aberdeen enjoying plenty of
:39:16. > :39:25.possession. Bobby Madden had a look at that,
:39:26. > :39:41.nothing given, though. Peter Pawlett with the effort, and a
:39:42. > :39:46.brilliant save by Scott Fox. Still in play, as Calvin Zola tries to
:39:47. > :39:50.pick up the pieces. Really good goalkeeping by Scott Fox, who found
:39:51. > :39:52.himself off his line. Peter Pawlett with the effort. And a brilliant
:39:53. > :40:18.save by Scott Fox. A deflection and Scott Fox again.
:40:19. > :40:22.Alert enough to push that one away. Kicked in by Gregg Wylde. A wicked
:40:23. > :40:41.deflection. A chance for Gregg Wylde. And a wild
:40:42. > :40:52.shot off target. That should have been the second for Aberdeen. Wylde
:40:53. > :41:08.was clear of the Thistle defence. He shot and blazed well off target.
:41:09. > :41:19.Piccolo claiming he was court by Calvin Zola in that match up.
:41:20. > :41:28.Zola wins it, and should have scored. Just a foot too high. Again,
:41:29. > :41:30.it was too easy for Zola to win it. Does well to find this space, in
:41:31. > :41:51.fairness. It was Russell Anderson in the end
:41:52. > :41:53.getting it behind for a corner. Again, that could have been so much
:41:54. > :42:12.more for Partick Thistle. And the half-time whistle sounds,
:42:13. > :42:18.with Aberdeen utterly dominant, a goal in the fifth minute from Andrew
:42:19. > :42:22.Considine. It is 1-0 to Aberdeen. Partick Thistle really need to
:42:23. > :42:31.improve on that first half showing. No shots on target in the opening
:42:32. > :42:37.period. They really need to be seen as more of an attacking force. In
:42:38. > :42:44.this second half, as Bobby Madden gets us back underway.
:42:45. > :42:47.Thistle have a bit of work to do if they are to progress to the last
:42:48. > :43:08.extreme. -- last 16. Michael Hector of doing the
:43:09. > :43:16.defending there. Shapes to shoot, pushed away by Langfield. A good
:43:17. > :43:20.effort from Kyle Higginbotham. Langfield, who has had nothing to do
:43:21. > :43:25.all afternoon, manages to keep that one out. Thistle's first shot on
:43:26. > :43:35.target. Partick Thistle now looking for an
:43:36. > :43:38.equaliser. That is not too far away from Elliott. That was a really good
:43:39. > :43:56.effort. And Josh looking to tie that one up.
:43:57. > :44:00.A lovely back healed. -- heel. Niall McGinn goes down. Bobby Madden
:44:01. > :44:05.shakes the finger and says no penalty. This could have been game
:44:06. > :44:12.over. And certainly barged down by Piccolo there. He was trying to get
:44:13. > :44:16.in between him and Osbourne. Partick Thistle will have to find something
:44:17. > :44:24.special. Something they have not produced.
:44:25. > :44:29.Aberdeen looked likely to score there. So close to a second.
:44:30. > :44:35.Eventually, Thistle smashed it clear. It was a stunning strike from
:44:36. > :44:42.Aberdeen's top goal-scorer. It rattled back off the upright.
:44:43. > :44:45.Archibald's men are heading out the competition unless they can find
:44:46. > :44:47.something in these dying seconds. They just cannot get hold of the
:44:48. > :45:05.ball. And it was Osbourne all the way up
:45:06. > :45:18.there, trying to force it home. But the full-back was denied. He was
:45:19. > :45:25.denied at the near post. A corner comes own, not too far away, but it
:45:26. > :45:28.was left to lead, it seems, to start piling bodies and shots in on goal.
:45:29. > :45:37.Only seconds remaining. And it is all over. It is Aberdeen
:45:38. > :45:47.who progress, thanks to Andrew Considine's fifth minute header. In
:45:48. > :45:53.truth, Partick Thistle drop out of the Scottish Cup with a whimper,
:45:54. > :45:59.Aberdeen progress to the last 16 of the William Hill Scottish Kip,
:46:00. > :46:14.winning it here one - zero. -- Scottish Cup. They made it difficult
:46:15. > :46:17.for us, as we expected. It was all about getting through today. We've
:46:18. > :46:23.played better than we have in the second half. But a quality one as a
:46:24. > :46:26.game. We're just grateful that the opportunities that we did score
:46:27. > :46:31.under didn't come back and bite us A good victory for us. The first half
:46:32. > :46:37.I don't think we threatened them enough. We got closer, which he
:46:38. > :46:44.didn't do well enough in the first half. I thought we might get
:46:45. > :46:50.something at the end. Having one goal - it's not very safe. Managed
:46:51. > :46:55.to block it. It was quite an open game, you know. It was like we have
:46:56. > :47:00.a chance, they have a chance, sort of thing, the whole game. It was not
:47:01. > :47:06.very safe. We plugged away. Stat time. Before today's game,
:47:07. > :47:11.Aberdeen had knocked Partick Thistle out six times. On three occasions
:47:12. > :47:17.Aberdeen have gone on to win the Scottish Cup. Today potentially a
:47:18. > :47:23.good omen for Aberdeen. It was a fantastic start. The marking was not
:47:24. > :47:33.good enough. A decent bender - had a lot of
:47:34. > :47:38.power. Well done, he attacks it. But in the end the defending is not good
:47:39. > :47:44.enough. They changed it for this - changed a different marker. At that
:47:45. > :47:52.point it is too late. They never after that got back into the game.
:47:53. > :47:57.Good defending. Not the best defending. Partick
:47:58. > :48:02.Thistle have lost three times to Aberdeen this season. Partick did
:48:03. > :48:06.have their chances in this game. They had been a bit toothless at
:48:07. > :48:13.times and once again today. It is the story of the season - they play
:48:14. > :48:19.lovely football. For me, I really enjoyed watching
:48:20. > :48:27.them, genuinely up to the 18-yard line. Then after that, the finishing
:48:28. > :48:33.has not been great. Just the final ball - they played it to well,
:48:34. > :48:38.mid-field to front and you wonder why when they get up to this area,
:48:39. > :48:41.when they are coming, there are players getting up there to support
:48:42. > :48:45.and they might get on the end of that, but that's been the problem -
:48:46. > :48:50.the finishing, particularly at home - the lig ga believe and then
:48:51. > :48:55.obviously the final ball there and that starts to affect your
:48:56. > :49:05.confidence. A wee bit more clinical. It was such a promising start. How
:49:06. > :49:13.do they get their mo Joe back? There -- mojo back? They have lost 3-0 and
:49:14. > :49:19.on the odd occasion, but they have to make sure they get the box - the
:49:20. > :49:26.guy on the ball will be clinical and more decisive. It may work because
:49:27. > :49:30.their football is good. They are losing confidence each week they do
:49:31. > :49:35.that. There is not pressure on them to get a striker. They have to look
:49:36. > :49:41.over the period of the season and say they've done all right. Do you
:49:42. > :49:46.think Aberdeen should have won by a more convincing score line? Quite
:49:47. > :49:51.often they were long shots. The keeper was doing well here. They
:49:52. > :49:55.actually found themselves in a poor position to start with. He got
:49:56. > :50:00.himself back. In the end, you think if anybody is going to score here,
:50:01. > :50:03.particularly the first half - which wasn't bad, Derek was saying he
:50:04. > :50:07.thought the second half was frantic. I think that is being polite about
:50:08. > :50:12.it. I don't think it was any good. There was no passing. Any chances
:50:13. > :50:17.that were coming up were genuinely come from the Aberdeen players. This
:50:18. > :50:23.was the best one. They work it well and it's an excellent strike from
:50:24. > :50:30.McGinn. Could this be Aberdeen's year? We have said it for a long
:50:31. > :50:36.time. They've got themselves well on in two Cup competitions. Doing OK in
:50:37. > :50:42.the league. The Dons fans have been saying that for a lot of years now.
:50:43. > :50:46.The Aberdeen fans would abouts lightly love it. -- absolutely love
:50:47. > :50:51.it. Now a round up of the remaining
:50:52. > :51:03.games. The sunset on St Mirren's hope of
:51:04. > :51:08.maintaining the League Cup when they lost back in August. They got off to
:51:09. > :51:16.the perfect start as they aim for revenge.
:51:17. > :51:24.A header from Naismith. Newton deflected.
:51:25. > :51:26.A teasing ball. Back to Russell.
:51:27. > :51:39.Off the post and in. It is clever, on the Riley - that is
:51:40. > :51:45.even better. Thompson!
:51:46. > :52:03.Great move down the left-hand side as Thompson tucks it home!
:52:04. > :52:11.Ful A power failure at a substation meant the second half in Inverness
:52:12. > :52:15.was delayed by over 30 minutes. When the match did get back under way it
:52:16. > :52:21.was the home side who cruised through to the last 16.
:52:22. > :52:24.McKay with his first of the afternoon. He was not finished for
:52:25. > :52:27.the day. Doran setting up McKay for his 13th
:52:28. > :52:42.goal of the season. Another another striker in demand
:52:43. > :52:46.set St Johnstone on their way through.
:52:47. > :53:01.The trip north is one that butch butch butch knows well. -- Terry
:53:02. > :53:06.Butcher knows well. After two weeks in the job he's beginning to create
:53:07. > :53:11.history. This was their first ever victory
:53:12. > :53:34.against Ross County. The break through for Hibs.
:53:35. > :53:41.And a flashing header from Lukinson. Handling's control.
:53:42. > :53:53.A great run. Down he goes! And it's going to be a yellow card.
:53:54. > :53:58.It is his second and he's off. The drama was far from over.
:53:59. > :54:03.The substitute was replaced by Terry Butcher for tactical reasons.
:54:04. > :54:09.Terry's word and point were ringing in his ears.
:54:10. > :54:19.It is disappointing when that happens. Ross is a key player for us
:54:20. > :54:26.and one we like. This week's action began at Tannadice and Kilmarnock
:54:27. > :54:34.look looked in place for an upset. A strike from Johnson put the visitors
:54:35. > :54:44.2-1 up. Not for the first time this season United's youngsters bounced
:54:45. > :54:49.back and this rounded off the scoring for Kilmarnock. This
:54:50. > :55:02.weekend's what happened next question. Look away if you are from
:55:03. > :55:12.the blue half of Dundee! Only ir irirknows what -- only Irvine knows
:55:13. > :55:17.what went wrong. You are a coach of Queen of the South.
:55:18. > :55:23.Listen, we played well. We were unlucky. St Mirren had their
:55:24. > :55:26.chances. They started the first half well. We fought back. A good
:55:27. > :55:29.equaliser here and the second half as well.
:55:30. > :55:32.They could have killed off the game, but we had chances to win it as
:55:33. > :55:37.well. We were disappointed we didn't get through. Looking forward to the
:55:38. > :55:40.replay. It was a really good cup tie yesterday. Let's talk of goals of
:55:41. > :55:55.the round. Let's start with this. This is Lustig.
:55:56. > :56:07.He's absolutely nailed that one. A great goal. Helped by the defenders
:56:08. > :56:14.falling off a bit. A bit of space. This is Graham Weir. How do you rate
:56:15. > :56:22.this? Spectacular. You have to get the technique absolutely right. And
:56:23. > :56:26.Chris Johnston here. His wrong-foot, as it were.
:56:27. > :56:31.He's time to think about the top corner - an absolute beauty. Which
:56:32. > :56:36.was your favourite? Listen, all three are favourite. Chris Johnston
:56:37. > :56:42.because it is the wrong-foot, right in the top corner. Brilliant! I
:56:43. > :56:47.think the technique by Graham Weir is fantastic. To be honest if you
:56:48. > :56:52.ask me in five minutes' time I will probably say Lustig. We have covered
:56:53. > :56:58.them all. The fifth round draw will take place tomorrow.
:56:59. > :57:03.These are the steam teams that will be -- these are the teams that will
:57:04. > :57:10.be in the pot. As many League One sides as premier ship sides. That is
:57:11. > :57:16.the romance of the Cup. If anybody is going to draw an old firm, it
:57:17. > :57:20.could be Miller. It could be fate. Maybe that is why they choose him!
:57:21. > :57:26.This is special. I love playing in it, as a player. No doubt some of
:57:27. > :57:32.the teams - there could be some good teams as well. A chance to dream of
:57:33. > :57:38.the League One side as well. I want them to have a good run. Who will
:57:39. > :57:43.the manager be is another one.ly be in rovers. It could be a fantastic
:57:44. > :57:49.one. That is almost it for tonight. We are back next weekend of course.
:57:50. > :57:53.The Results Show is on Saturday afternoon at 4. 30pm. On Sunday, it
:57:54. > :57:56.is me, once again, with all the highlights of another weekend of
:57:57. > :58:00.Scottish Premiership action. That is it for tonight. We have drawn a line
:58:01. > :58:05.under the weekend action. Thanks to the guys. The draw is tomorrow. The
:58:06. > :58:09.battle lines will be drawn then. Will we get an Old Firm Derby? Good
:58:10. > :58:16.night!
