Good afternoon. Happy New Year. And welcome to the results show. It is | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
not a repeat or a Best Of, it is the first live show of 12 Mac and | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
that is a manic Monday with five games in the SPL. Inverness against | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
St Johnstone was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch. You to | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
bring in a new year with us are the best pundits available, willing to | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
work on a public holiday! You Murray, and Pat Nevin. Let's find | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
out how the surviving lunchtime match went, it was the Edinburgh | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
derby at Easter Road, Hibernian against Heart of Midlothian. It is | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
nine Edinburgh derbies without a victory for Hibernian. The visitors | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
dominated the first half. And should have been ahead at the | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
interval. Ian Black took a penalty and Graham Stack save it. Hibernian | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
were better than the second half, chasing and harrying, but wet | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
behind with Ryan McGowan heading in despite a possible offside against | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
Elliott. The game exploded into life as Galbraith equalised for | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
Hibernian a minute later. It looked like being a draw at that point, | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
but Andy Webster and Rudi Skacel blasted home late on in front of | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
their fans as past continue to belie their off-field problems. The | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
on-field problems continue for Hibernian, who visit Dunfermline | :01:46. | :01:54. | |
next. But it was a happy new year for the maroon half of Edinburgh. | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Hibernian's next League matches against Dunfermline on the 14th and | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
the match away to Cowdenbeath in the cup next week. Would you and | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
your fellow supporters be concerned about that? They might have scored | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
19 goals in the League in 21 games. Not scoring enough goals. I cannot | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
recall a shot on target apart from the goal. The lack of effort and | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
fight, and bake, which is putting it politely, because Hibernian was | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
my getting in about Ian Black. When it came to 1-1, Hibs had more of a | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
foothold in the game. But they did not have that little striker up | :02:47. | :02:56. | |
front. Problems for Pat Fenlon. Hearts seemed to be enjoying a | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
revival, despite players not being paid the of December salaries. Or | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
almost perversely, because of that. Perhaps they on the shop window | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
because the transfer window is open. Hearts players have showed a lot of | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
spirit, four games unbeaten and only lost one goal in those games. | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
I thought pass deserved to win. It was strange it took them so long to | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
score in the second half -- I thought Hearts deserved to win. The | :03:25. | :03:33. | |
players are due enormous credit, and the manager who has adapted, he | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
has adapted to the game in the SPL and is picking more appropriate | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
teams and tactics and that is paying Op. But Hearts have got good | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
players. The squad, as it is, is the third best in the country. That | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
is overlooked, given the chaos in the background. Them going on a | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
decent one should not be that much of a shop. Sue Celtic are going | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
further 10 successive victory today, the table toppers going to the | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
bottom club, Dunfermline. Let's see how it is going. Celtic will on | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
their way to their 10th victory in a row, here at Dunfermline. It is a | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
massive crowd and a good day out for the visiting celtic supporters. | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
Antony Stokes put Celtic ahead in the 18th minute. He looked up, from | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
20 yards, and sent it beautifully past Chris Smith for his 12th of | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
the season. Then a Charlie Mulgrew free kick floated into the heart of | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
the defence and Victor Wanyama was in the right place at the right | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
time with a great half wally for a second goal of the season. Second | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
half quieter, but the best goal of the game came and 68 minutes from | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
Charlie Mulgrew, a brilliant free kick from 25 yards out. The ball | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
simply flew past Chris Smith in the Dunfermline goal for Charlie | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
Mulgrew's 4th goal of the season. The only good point for Dunfermline, | :04:57. | :05:03. | |
their biggest home crowd of the season, and that its core warheads. | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
That the crowd is going to be cold comfort of Dunfermline fans. | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
Watching the match or in the studio, it is a fairly routine victory for | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
Celtic. The Dunfermline are working hard but when Celtic went 2-0 up | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
they were in cruise control after that. The wonderful thing about | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
Celtic, going away from home, they a plane or-2-4, playing four | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
strikers. And all those players are capable of creating more scoring | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
goals. No surprise that Celtic have their tails up just now. If they | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
can keep everyone fit and keep players such as Gary Hooper, | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
despite interest from the Premier League. No home victories for | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Dunfermline this season and it did not look like that was when they | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
changed day. We have been talking about heads, who would be in | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
trouble of Dunfermline to stop shipping goals and find the defence. | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
-- about Hibernian. Week after week, Dunfermline concedes of course, and | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
that will be their undoing at the end of the season if they do not | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
find some decent defenders this month. We're having technical | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
problems getting Chip Young to report back from Ibrox, we have | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
tried carrier pigeons and everything! It is now 3-0 to | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
Rangers, with the own goal from Stephen Craigan, a goal from Sone | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
Aluko and the goal from David Healy. At Tannadice, Dundee United are at | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
home to Aberdeen. Dave Donaldson is there, with no technical problems. | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
It took Dundee United six minutes to silence the huge any support. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
The corner from the right was not clear properly and Jon Daly, the | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
United captain, smack in a low shot from 12 yards. Dundee United | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
dominated possession and had a strong claim for a penalty turned | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
down. In the second half, Craig Brown put on more Hamann Chalali. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
And with his first touch she headed it into the back of the net. | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
Aberdeen should have gone in front but John Milsom managed to direct | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
his header wide of the post. I had been reminiscing about the good old | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
days of the new firm. We have come a long way from those days. | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
seems like that was a cracker of a goal for Muamba Chalali. They have | :07:45. | :07:54. | |
not lost many games in this period, so well done to them. Up until now, | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
Aberdeen had been relying on Craig Berman scoring the goals. So much | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
has handed Chip Young a megaphone at Ibrox, and he is going to shout | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
as loud as he can with this Match report. It has been a very | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
comfortable afternoon for Rangers. Nikica Jelavic had failed a fitness | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
test, so they started with David Healy and Kyle Lafferty up front. | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Kyle Lafferty got injured. David Healy scored the first goal just | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
before half-time to put Rangers 1-0 up, then Sone Aluko scored a fine | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
goal with some great passing from Rangers. Then a few moments ago, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
Lee Wallace, with a thought, as the ball swung in from the right Hansie, | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Lee Wallace met it right at the goal posts. I think it was Lee | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
Wallace who got the touch. Rangers, 3-0 up, and cruising. Going on at | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
the start of the New Year with three points. And it is a fine | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
afternoon and to under 44,890 be here at Ibrox. It does not sound | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
like a fine afternoon for Motherwell and their fans. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
Motherwell's record against Rangers is abysmal. Interesting that | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
Jelavic does not play, Lafferty injured, Ally McCoist once a | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
striker. Whether Jelavic leaves will not bow stop David Healy on | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
his own up front. They need more support than that. It shows you why | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Rangers need to supplement that forward Lennon January. Off to | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
Rugby Park, Kilmarnock against St Mirren, is it a mid-table cracker? | :09:41. | :09:50. | |
Let's find out., no one, St Mirren, one, at a cold and damp Robbie Park. | :09:50. | :10:00. | |
:10:00. | :10:04. | ||
-- Kilmarnock 1. -- Robbie Park. Graham Carey what degree in | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
swinging corner onto the head of Lee Mair, who scored his first goal | :10:06. | :10:15. | |
for the club. That made it 1-0 to St Mirren. Kilmarnock equalised | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
with Craig Sams in saving a shot from Dean Shiels, but Paul | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
Heffernan drove home the rebound after an almighty scramble in the | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
St Mirren bourse. Just before half- time, St Mirren had a good penalty | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
claim with the way by the referee after Steven Thompson was bundled | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
over in the box. The second half has not taken off the were the | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
first half it. Dean Shiels had a free kick to Mark Kennedy, who | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
blasted over. Both teams have tried to play good football. You deal | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
with the type of football and these conditions, that there could still | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
be a winning goal. It shows you the character of both these sides that | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
that is a match that everyone looks forward to, the purists like | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
yourselves. I thought Kilmarnock were the better side against Celtic | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
recently. St Mirren have played it very well. Always impressed going | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
forward with Paul Heffernan and Dean Shiels. It is an impressive | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
team. There is a lot of good football being played by both sides. | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
You have been casting your eye over the big match in the First Division. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
What was going to not playing, you have to make sure that if you are | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
just end them, like Falkirk and Dundee, that you eat up the pace. - | :11:44. | :11:54. | |
:11:54. | :11:55. | ||
- just behind them. Higginbotham has booked them 2-1 up and they | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
need to win that game today. We will see if they can hold out, | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
Falkirk against Livingston. The early goal for Dundee against Raith | :12:05. | :12:15. | |
Rovers. Since they might have had a player sent off, things have not | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
gone well. So that is Hamilton holding on. The last one is Morton | :12:23. | :12:33. | |
against Ayr United, just above the drop zone, 1-0 up. A if you have | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
spent the festive season in a selection box and you might have | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
noticed there was an Old Firm match in between Christmas and New Year, | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
a result that could have a significant bearing on the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Championship, and a goal that never was. Jonathan will be furnishing us | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
with the wit and wisdom of the online community. Good luck with | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
:13:06. | :13:28. | ||
that. Here is a remembrance of Was it saved on the line? And some | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
of this has knocked it over the line, but the offside flag is up. - | :13:33. | :13:43. | |
:13:43. | :13:44. | ||
- Georgios Samaras has knocked it Just touched over by MacGregor from | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
:13:54. | :14:16. | ||
There is no getting away from it. That was a massive victory for | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
Celtic. So will pick for an Jim Keir 67 says it was probably the | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
easiest 1-0 victory I have seen, and by far the worst Rangers team I | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
have seen at Celtic Park in my lifetime. Rangers fan and no | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
surrender says that, had that header by Lee Wallace con in it | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
would have been a different game. We had chances but we did not take | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
any of them. The focus has shifted to Rangers manager Alan a cause. | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
One Celtic fan says he has great pattern, but he is obviously out of | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
his debt. To see a swing of 17. Is truly astonishing, and could get | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
worse for Rangers in January with continual transfer speculation over | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
top scorer, Croatian, Nikica Jelavic. Left out of the team today. | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
Nacho Novo link with a possible move back to Rangers. An absolute | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
joke if true, says one at you. And I imagine some sort of transfer fee | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:35. | ||
Let's tuck about the match. This went predictably with form. It did. | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
Celtic are the stronger squad. If they have all their players | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
available, Celtic should enjoy it, especially at home. I think Celtic | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
deserved the win. Even though it was a dreadfully windy evening, it | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
was a great advert for Scottish football because it was exciting, | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
the right kind of excitement. Everyone I talk to after the game, | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
all positives, no moaning about anything. The wind was a big | :16:07. | :16:16. | |
problem. Was it or was it not over the line? More on that later. Now | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
we go to Tannadice. It has gone away of the visitors. | :16:23. | :16:33. | |
:16:33. | :16:33. | ||
What a strike it was. It was from a full 30 yards. It hit the underside | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
of the bar and bounced the right side of the line for Aberdeen. | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
Talking about the Old Firm. That was Celtic's 9th win on the spin. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
It doesn't seem that long ago that Neil Lennon was saying he thought | :16:54. | :17:02. | |
his job was going to be gone! got players back from injury, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
players have found their form. It is all about momentum. Neil Lennon | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
always had faith in those players and they have repaid the faith with | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
the run they have been on. It would be wrong to say that they had been | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
sparkling in every game, but they are picking up results and momentum | :17:19. | :17:28. | |
is all-important. Let's go to Rugby Park. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
Unbelievable. Just when you think the game is going to fade out, | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
along kick up the park, the St Mirren defence failed to clear its, | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
the ball was clipped into the top corner of the net. | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
Talking about Rangers, they were in wonderful form until about mid- | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
November then the wheels did come off. Or could you put that down to? | :17:57. | :18:05. | |
A lot of things. They lost the Steven Naismith. I think a lot of | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
people felt that there was a core of their Rangers keen that they can | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
:18:19. | :18:20. | ||
do without hands Naysmith, Davies and yellow pitch. Losing those | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
players is massively important. Today was a massive day for Rangers. | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
Absolutely massive. Motherwell had been playing well, particularly | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
:18:42. | :18:45. | ||
away from home. Today was massive for them. Are we looking at Mason - | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
- nee Smith as a better player now that he is out? He had a fantastic | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
start to the season. It shouldn't be the case that a team can miss | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
one player and it has such an adverse affect. I think that | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
reflects badly on the other guys, to be blunt about it. Rangers need | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
to find a different way of playing. They used to have a really useful | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
knack of winning games but not playing well. There are players who | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
can do that. Naysmith it is significant, it is a factor, but it | :19:24. | :19:34. | |
:19:34. | :19:36. | ||
reflects badly on Rangers but it is such a factor, if that makes sense! | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
:19:46. | :19:50. | ||
I would love to see... those strikers for Celtic are so highly | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
rated that the Premiership want them. They will hope that they can | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
keep on to them. If Rangers get seven, 8, �9 million for them, that | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
could give them a good chance. If he could get some of that the to | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
spend, he could stamp his personality on the team, which he | :20:13. | :20:20. | |
has not really had the chance to do, Neil Lennon. I would like to see | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
them staying. The squads the way they are, on 2nd January, he would | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
Germany be on to be champions? Celtic. A significant be stronger | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
squad? I think that. In early November, but would have seemed | :20:37. | :20:47. | |
:20:47. | :20:48. | ||
like an nonsensical argument, but Celtic just looks stronger now. | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
Looking in the newspapers, the speculation is a people returning | :20:52. | :20:59. | |
flight Kris Boyd and Nacho Novo. But is not like-for-like? He is | :20:59. | :21:08. | |
going to score chorus - - a score goals in the Premier League, you | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
would have to say it would be Kris Boyd. He will score goals in the | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
:21:21. | :21:21. | ||
Premiership. Once again, I don't like to see very good players | :21:22. | :21:29. | |
leaving the Scottish game because I love watching him play. I think | :21:29. | :21:35. | |
we're getting more top players now. When Nielsen - - when Neil Lennon | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
was going through a sticky patch there were questions about his | :21:39. | :21:47. | |
leadership qualities. Now Rangers fans are questioning Ally McCoist's | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
suitability. I am aware of that and wrote a piece about it, but I think | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
it is out of line. No unexpected though. Absolutely. But I think you | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
need to give these guys at least this season. The problem with Ally | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
McCoist is that the players that Rangers have brought in are not of | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
the quality but they need. Is that the fault of Ally McCoist or | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
further up the Jehan? I don't know. I think it is ludicrous that so | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
soon a manager find an sup under pressure by his own supporters. | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
full-time results are coming in. We are off to East End Park. | :22:31. | :22:41. | |
It is all over here. Celtic moved to the 10th league win in a row. It | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
really showed, the difference between the quality of these two | :22:43. | :22:53. | |
sides. There was a terrific first goal from Anthony Stokes after 18 | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
minutes. From 20 yards out, he bent in a most beautiful shots for a | :23:01. | :23:11. | |
:23:11. | :23:13. | ||
goal. Five minutes from the interval Celtic scored again. It | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
was much quieter in the second half, but Celtic made it a thirds after | :23:19. | :23:26. | |
60 minutes from Charlie Mulgrew. From 25 yards out, he hammered it | :23:26. | :23:34. | |
past the goalkeeper. Celtic spurned a few more chances in the second | :23:34. | :23:42. | |
half, but a terrific win for Celtic were still - -. Points for | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
Dunfermline will come against other teams in the division. | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
This Hibernian against Dunfermline match coming up, it looked fixed - | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
- it looks like such a crucial game. It does that like a very important | :23:59. | :24:09. | |
:24:09. | :24:12. | ||
game. - - look like. I don't think these teams have much money to | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
bring in new players. This will be a big game, a huge game, and a very | :24:19. | :24:29. | |
nervous game. Now we head to Ibrox. Rangers fans might have been a | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
little concerned when they heard the team used because yellow pitch | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
:24:45. | :24:51. | ||
was out of this side. - - Nicky T Rangers went about their business | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
:25:01. | :25:06. | ||
in fine fashion. David Healy put them ahead after 35 minutes. A | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
second goal was a quality score. Stephen Craigan scored the third | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
for Rangers, it will go down as an own goal against the Motherwell | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
captain. A huge sigh of relief for Rangers from the support that | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
Rangers have started the new year with some intention. | :25:33. | :25:40. | |
What has Lee Wallace got to do to get a goal? A comfortable win for | :25:40. | :25:48. | |
Rangers. Very difficult after a wounding defeat on Wednesday, was | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
just important to win. It is just about getting to victory. They have | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
done that, so there is not an issue about spirit or morale. Full-time | :25:59. | :26:09. | |
:26:09. | :26:15. | ||
at Tannadice. It was a lovely second goal but one of for Aberdeen. | :26:15. | :26:25. | |
:26:25. | :26:27. | ||
both sides had chances to win it, but Aberdeen snatched victory with | :26:27. | :26:37. | |
:26:37. | :26:41. | ||
four minutes to go with this superb strike from 30 yards. | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
Craig Brown was in the paper this week saying he wants supporters to | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
be proud of the team and not going home disappointed as they have done | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
so many times this season. didn't seem that long ago that we | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
were saying that Aberdeen could be in the relegation scrap. But there | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
a long way away now, 10 points above it. But as a good position to | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
be in. They can now start looking up rather than down. You want to | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
spread the goals around a bit more. For me, earlier on to were not | :27:13. | :27:22. | |
doing that well. They are showing a decent spirits. | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
Next up it is Rugby Park. There was a very dramatic finish | :27:29. | :27:36. | |
right at the end the kept the home fans very happy. Some Merrington | :27:36. | :27:46. | |
:27:46. | :27:47. | ||
believes as the results of the corner, lean air scored a header. | :27:47. | :27:56. | |
12 minutes before half-time Kilmarnock drew level. Paul | :27:56. | :28:06. | |
:28:06. | :28:12. | ||
Heffernan trawl home from 12 yards. Both teams made hard work of the | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
second half, both looking for a winner. The winning goal was a | :28:16. | :28:24. | |
great goal. It was a long kick up the park, from 18 yards out the | :28:24. | :28:34. | |
:28:34. | :28:35. | ||
ball was just clipped over that St Mirren goalkeeper. | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
That result for Kilmarnock will take them up the result a couple of | :28:38. | :28:48. | |
:28:48. | :28:48. | ||
places on goal difference. It is a very packed section of the league. | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
I thought: Margaret - - Kilmarnock would struggle this season, but | :28:51. | :29:01. | |
:29:01. | :29:02. | ||
they have surprised me. Now, over to the Barclays Premier League. | :29:03. | :29:12. | |
Blackburn versus strokes city - - Stoke City. Rover has managed to | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
beat Manchester United just a couple of days ago at Old Trafford. | :29:16. | :29:21. | |
Let's see how they fare today at home frumps - - at home playing | :29:21. | :29:29. | |
against book. Two goals from Peter Crouch saw off Blackburn. Both | :29:29. | :29:34. | |
neatly finished golds after taking control on the chest and firing | :29:34. | :29:44. | |
:29:44. | :29:44. | ||
past Blackburn. David Goodwillie gave Blackburn Rovers a lifeline in | :29:45. | :29:52. | |
the second half, registering his first Premier League goal. Steve | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
Kean was sent flying in his own technical area by Morten Gamst | :29:56. | :30:06. | |

tables. No change at the top, still two points between Celtic and | :33:45. | :33:53. | |
Rangers. Heart of Midlothian are up to 4th place after that victory | :33:53. | :34:03. | |
:34:03. | :34:12. | ||
At the bottom Dunfermline still one Falkirk and Dundee had a chance to | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
narrow the wood of Ross County because the game was postponed. | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
Falkirk now just three points behind Ross County with Dundee | :34:21. | :34:31. | |

three.S father of. -- three points further off. Cowdenbeath still | :34:35. | :34:41. | |
clear at the top from Arbroath. Stirling Albion have moved off the | :34:41. | :34:51. | |
:34:51. | :34:55. | ||

The Barclays Premier League, the big guns in action so far-day, | :35:08. | :35:14. | |
Arsenal kick-off their match at 5:30pm. Norwich City are to 9th | :35:14. | :35:24. | |
:35:24. | :35:31. | ||
place. Good victory for them, 2-1, Blackburn Rovers still in the | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
bottom three. Bolton Wanderers one point behind them with a game in | :35:35. | :35:45. | |
:35:45. | :35:48. | ||
I do not tell you how Wolverhampton Wanderers had got on, they were at | :35:48. | :35:57. | |
home to Chelsea. We have a Match report now from and the James. | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
glancing header from Steven Fletcher was turned over by Petr | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
Cech at the very end. It brought to an end again full of controversy | :36:05. | :36:12. | |
and incident. Chelsea's first three.S in five games having a | :36:12. | :36:17. | |
three draws and that defeat against Aston Villa. The analysis tonight | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
will be about whether Frank Lampard should have been on the pitch, to | :36:20. | :36:25. | |
score the winning goal for Chelsea. He was involved in an incident at | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
the start of the game, he got a yellow, and perhaps should have got | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
a red. Other Premier League players will be looking at it and thinking, | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
I have been sent off for less. Towards the end of the game, | :36:38. | :36:45. | |
Stephen Ward got an equaliser for Rolls. But within moments, from a | :36:45. | :36:50. | |
ball across the face of goal, Frank Lampard caught the finishing touch. | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
An orchestrated Chelsea goal celebration for that first goal, | :36:54. | :37:00. | |
from Ramires. But they have sneaked at 2-1 victory against Wolves, with | :37:01. | :37:08. | |
a winning goal from a player who should not have been on the pitch. | :37:08. | :37:14. | |
Let's see what our pundits think of those goings on. If you think I am | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
going to say Hearts should have won at Easter Road, Hearts have gone | :37:19. | :37:25. | |
nine and beat him now. Aberdeen have been poor away from home, so | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
that victory at Paradise when United have been going well, and | :37:29. | :37:38. | |
:37:39. | :37:39. | ||
that winning goal from Arnason, I am going to say that the result of | :37:39. | :37:44. | |
the day was that victory for Aberdeen at Paradise. Hibs have won | :37:44. | :37:51. | |
one game at home this season. But well done to Hearts for the victory. | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
Rangers needed to win today. And that was against Motherwell, who | :37:55. | :38:02. | |
are not bad away from home, so 3-0 Rangers, well done, that is the one. | :38:02. | :38:09. | |
You have probably had enough of was a chatting away. But I can take | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
