Tonight and tomorrow night will tell the story of 16 teams with

their sights set on lifting the Scottish Cup and parading it around

hand and on the last Sunday in May. It is a magical competition in

:00:28.:00:38.
:00:38.:00:44.

Football history in the making. anticipation of something like

:00:44.:00:54.
:00:54.:01:07.

60,000. Its attraction, its allure Dundee United have won the Scottish

:01:08.:01:17.
:01:18.:01:42.

Will come to the Scottish Cup final. Four different names have been

:01:42.:01:44.

inscribed on this famous piece of silverware and the last four

:01:44.:01:49.

seasons, so who is next? 10 teams were today begin to book a place in

:01:49.:01:53.

the quarter-finals and move a step closer to hand and. All the action

:01:54.:01:58.

coming your way in the company of Pat Nevin and Owen Coyle. The first

:01:58.:02:04.

game of the day was Dundee United against Rangers who, because of a

:02:04.:02:10.

boycott, only had a few hundred fans there. So it was a totally

:02:10.:02:16.

tangerine Tannadice. Arguably the most eagerly

:02:16.:02:20.

anticipated tie of the fifth round. Not just of what may or may not

:02:20.:02:23.

happen on the pitch, but because of what has been said between these

:02:23.:02:28.

clubs before the draw was made, and what has been written since. There

:02:28.:02:32.

is no love lost between Dundee United and Rangers these days,

:02:32.:02:39.

thanks mainly to United's vocal opposition of the Ibrox's

:02:39.:02:46.

application for top-flight position last summer. Jackie McNamara's

:02:46.:02:47.

last summer. Jackie McNamara's first team selection for Dundee

:02:47.:02:52.

United is the same as Peter Houston's last one. Their top

:02:52.:02:59.

scorer continues up front with equally exciting youngsters

:02:59.:03:09.
:03:09.:03:15.

Armstrong and MacKay Stephen there. Lee Wallace continues as captain.

:03:15.:03:25.
:03:25.:03:25.

He is in Gordon Strachan's first Jackie McNamara replaced Scottish

:03:25.:03:29.

Cup winning boss Peter Houston on Wednesday and has only had a couple

:03:29.:03:36.

of training sessions. He won twice as a Celtic player and captained

:03:36.:03:46.
:03:46.:03:48.

So, Jackie McNamara in place having left Partick Thistle where he was

:03:48.:03:53.

doing such a fine job alongside Simon Donnelly who followed him up

:03:53.:03:59.

to Tannadice. Times have changed for this fixture these days. Dundee

:03:59.:04:08.

United heavy favourites. Johnny Russell looks to get in and the

:04:08.:04:13.

opening seconds, and he scores in the opening seconds! It is a dream

:04:13.:04:19.

start for Dundee United, for Jackie McNamara and the Johnny Russell.

:04:19.:04:29.
:04:29.:04:40.

It's his 15th goal of the season. Scottish 5th round tie. Rangers

:04:40.:04:45.

haven't even touched the ball yet. It dropped down to Johnny Russell,

:04:45.:04:51.

barged his way through, and Neil Alexander could do nothing about it.

:04:51.:04:58.

The start to a football match you dream of. Johnny Russell put Dundee

:04:58.:05:05.

in front inside 15 seconds. Rangers looked to respond through Little!

:05:05.:05:11.

He wasn't far away. He is claiming it should have been a corner kick.

:05:11.:05:15.

He is not going to get that. This is a decent response from Rangers,

:05:15.:05:23.

having gone behind so early in the game. Andy Little has been in

:05:23.:05:27.

decent form and the Third Division this season. But he missed the

:05:27.:05:37.
:05:37.:05:48.

nearly two. The bid from Sheffield United was around �400,000 for

:05:48.:05:51.

Johnny Russell on deadline day. United feel he is worth more than

:05:51.:06:01.
:06:01.:06:19.

that, and he has proved it time and better start to life as Dundee

:07:37.:07:44.

side with a header. Johnny Russell hit the woodwork as well, in what

has been a dominant display by the SPL side against the Third Division

United player, and on the touchline, McNamara was not happy with the

:14:09.:14:14.

initial challenge, and then they came together. It is a yellow for

:14:14.:14:24.
:14:24.:14:41.

United. They will be the first through to the last eight. It is

:14:41.:14:51.
:14:51.:14:54.

Johnnie Russell again! Johnny Russell could easily have been

:14:54.:14:57.

playing his football elsewhere this afternoon. A Sheffield United bid

:14:57.:15:06.

was turned down. That was a greater interchange between Jon Daly and

:15:06.:15:16.
:15:16.:15:29.

the back of the net -- there was only one place it was going, the

:15:29.:15:39.
:15:39.:15:45.

back of the net. There was a late tackle on Willo Flood by Kal

:15:45.:15:55.
:15:55.:16:09.

Naismith. He is off! He thundered into Willo Flood. Rangers' day goes

:16:09.:16:19.
:16:19.:16:24.

from bad to worse. Ian black with the challenge birth. Rangers are

:16:24.:16:32.

going down to nine men! A Ian Black has put himself about, like he

:16:32.:16:42.
:16:42.:16:58.

is away. Dundee United are through to the quarter-finals of the

:16:58.:17:04.

Scottish Cup. We knew that a while ago. Stacks do not get much better

:17:04.:17:14.
:17:14.:17:17.

than that for Jackie McNamara, the manager. Jon Daly scored with a

:17:17.:17:27.
:17:27.:17:31.

backward header to make it 2-0 before half-time. He put it home

:17:31.:17:41.
:17:41.:17:49.

and Anita Neil Alexander. It It was a fantastic start for us.

:17:49.:17:53.

What is your take on the match as a whole? I think the first half was a

:17:53.:18:00.

bit dangerous. The second half, I thought they were slightly better.

:18:00.:18:08.

There were few problems in terms of position. Have used a quicker goal

:18:08.:18:17.

then that one? I do not think so. You cannot get a better start.

:18:17.:18:27.
:18:27.:18:32.

us through it. I just tried to keep my shot low, and I managed to score.

:18:33.:18:36.

It must have been difficult for you coming in on Wednesday and not

:18:36.:18:41.

having much chance to work with the players. Did that make it more

:18:41.:18:51.
:18:51.:18:52.

difficult for you? I think so. You do not want to change too many

:18:52.:19:02.
:19:02.:19:07.

things because it might confuse them. I think it worked well.

:19:07.:19:11.

Johnny Russell, two goals today. You must have been delighted not to

:19:11.:19:18.

lose him! I was delighted. He is a tremendous talent. I was so

:19:18.:19:27.

delighted he did not move on just now. Canice Dundee United team won

:19:27.:19:36.

the Scottish Cup, do you think? Ashe can at this Dundee United team

:19:36.:19:46.
:19:46.:19:50.

win. I do not see why not. thing I have about Rangers is, they

:19:50.:19:55.

are not going to be the Rangers of old. It was quite obvious today

:19:55.:19:59.

they are a distance away from that. They have some players that are

:19:59.:20:03.

capable of playing at that level, but it is a very unbalanced group.

:20:04.:20:10.

Most of them did not play particularly well today. It is very

:20:10.:20:20.
:20:20.:20:24.

unbalanced. Half of that team have experienced SPL experience.

:20:24.:20:32.

Aviemore would have been important today was a good performance. They

:20:33.:20:41.

do have some very good players. When you lose a goal at 15 seconds,

:20:41.:20:51.
:20:51.:20:57.

it is difficult to get back in the game. The there in the first moment,

:20:57.:21:07.
:21:07.:21:11.

Jon Daly gets that header. It was a lovely touch. For Neil Alexander is

:21:11.:21:21.
:21:21.:21:27.

a good goalkeeper -- Neil Alexander is a good goalkeeper. You want to

:21:27.:21:35.

make a good start to the game. The it was a breathless that to their

:21:35.:21:45.
:21:45.:21:45.

game. This may have knocked confidence it out of United. It was

:21:45.:21:55.
:21:55.:21:56.

a decent effort. The 60 seconds into the game! The rest of the

:21:56.:22:05.

first half, that was it for me. It totally belonged to Dundee. Dundee

:22:05.:22:15.
:22:15.:22:17.

United were a constant attacking threat. I think Rangers should

:22:17.:22:23.

probably have got a goal where, on any other day. That could very

:22:23.:22:33.
:22:33.:22:33.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:22:33.:23:33.

the I take nothing away from Jon Daly. He was superb. It was very

:23:33.:23:43.
:23:43.:23:44.

special. It is a flick down and an aim. They were at the top of their

:23:44.:23:53.

game. A comeback from Rangers never looked likely. To force your way

:23:53.:23:59.

back into the game, it is difficult, and there were not enough in the

:23:59.:24:02.

Rangers team who could play at that level. They do have some good

:24:02.:24:12.
:24:12.:24:14.

players. It never materialised. looks OK to like Dundee United took

:24:14.:24:24.
:24:24.:24:26.

their foot off the gas a bit. A sometimes, when there is a 1-0 lead,

:24:26.:24:32.

do you go for it? Some team say, we will hold back. You can then go to

:24:32.:24:42.
:24:42.:24:47.

panic stations. Stevens was brilliant in the first half.

:24:47.:24:56.

Russell was as well. Rangers certainly held their own for 20

:24:57.:25:02.

minutes. De Gaulle which removed any doubt about the outcome was

:25:02.:25:12.
:25:12.:25:14.

Johnnie Russell's second. -- the goal which removed any doubt.

:25:14.:25:23.

was a composed finish. Rangers had an opportunity to win that. United

:25:23.:25:29.

seemed to arrive first on the ball. They won the second, they dictated

:25:29.:25:39.
:25:39.:26:17.

That was bordering on assault, that. This one was slightly tighter. The

:26:17.:26:22.

latter is getting a bit annoyed. I do nothing he did much wrong there.

:26:22.:26:32.
:26:32.:26:33.

-- Black is getting a bit annoyed. No, I agree. I do not want to see

:26:33.:26:42.

players getting sent off. It is hard to take. That rounded off a

:26:42.:26:52.
:26:52.:26:55.

Thomson was in the middle. He went on the rampaged down the right.

:29:00.:29:10.
:29:10.:29:14.

Stephen Thompson did well to get that away. Esmael Goncalves is

:29:15.:29:24.

going away. Perhaps he was wanting to tempt the challenge. I wonder if

It was straight to the goalkeeper. nearly worked. He has been

:33:32.:33:37.

frustrated by his finishing today. He picked this one up well, and

:33:38.:33:47.
:33:48.:34:22.

almost out of nothing, it was Craig, though I think is going to

:34:23.:34:32.
:34:33.:34:58.

Goncalves holds up and finish is brilliantly! Four goals in two

:34:58.:35:08.
:35:08.:35:22.

Frazer Wright, too. Goncalves finds the corner. He puts St Merryn

:35:22.:35:32.
:35:32.:35:56.

firmly on course for a place in the terrorising Frazer Wright in the

:35:56.:36:06.
:36:06.:36:26.

Thompson should have been on the scoresheet. Great play from Gary

:36:26.:36:36.
:36:36.:36:41.

Teale. Stephen Thompson will be disappointed he didn't get that

:36:41.:36:51.
:36:51.:37:06.

as he brushed past him. It was Gary Teale, and they were shouting on

:37:06.:37:13.

him to shoot. He looked to be lining up, but he sent it away. It

:37:13.:37:23.
:37:23.:37:32.

:38:16.:38:49.

the shot away, but it broke on to I think the fans were thoroughly

:38:49.:38:52.

entertained today. Craig Samson was incredible and the first half and

:38:52.:38:59.

very much kept a Senate. It is not about the saves all the time for

:38:59.:39:03.

the goalkeepers. You have just got to have a good kicking, good

:39:03.:39:08.

concentration, and help the team out with the odd cross. It is the

:39:08.:39:14.

other things for a goalkeeper that keep you ticking over. There were a

:39:15.:39:24.
:39:25.:39:26.

lot of chances, and unfortunately we didn't take hours. Nobody could

:39:26.:39:35.

have complained. That is him got four goals in three games, so

:39:35.:39:40.

nobody can ask more than that. bit of teasing in the dressing room

:39:40.:39:49.

that he wanted a hat-trick? We can tease him if we try it! Have the

boy has been treating you about a hat-trick? Should you have scored

:39:51.:40:01.
:40:01.:40:04.

three times? Yes, I lost two goals, I could have got another. We did

:40:04.:40:08.

have a block against Ross County, but my players have been

:40:08.:40:14.

outstanding in the last two months. It has been a very good working

:40:14.:40:19.

week, and it is great to see that the boys are getting their rewards

for their commitment and effort that they are putting in. Yes,

three important SPL. To get them further from the bottom earlier in

:40:31.:40:37.

the week, and now the last date of the Cup. We know who is going to

:40:37.:40:42.

get the headlines tomorrow, but I think St Johnstone played pretty

:40:42.:40:48.

well in the first half. But Craig Samson, all the way through the

:40:48.:40:54.

game, was absolutely fantastic. It is not just about strikers scoring

:40:54.:40:58.

goals with confidence. Everyone seems to have the confidence when

:40:58.:41:04.

that happens. And when you are confident, you get lucky because

:41:04.:41:08.

confident, you get lucky because you are confident. This is a pure

:41:08.:41:16.

reaction save. Goalkeepers then go jittery when they make a mistake

:41:16.:41:19.

and things go against them, and that is when the cameras are loving

:41:19.:41:25.

it, anyway. He is getting himself and the right position and getting

:41:25.:41:29.

noticed by everyone. He is making good looking saves, but he is

:41:29.:41:34.

making the ugly ones as well. was also the Steven MacLean mess.

:41:35.:41:39.

Do you feel for old team and for Steve Lomas that it might have been

:41:39.:41:44.

their day? I don't think there were any doubts that St Johnstone were

:41:44.:41:50.

the better side in the first half. He will be disappointed, Maclean,

:41:50.:41:56.

because he is a good player. Goals change games, and if you don't take

:41:56.:42:00.

your chances, you leave yourself open to being hit on the counter-

:42:00.:42:05.

attack. Whenever the ball gets anywhere near Esmael Goncalves, you

:42:05.:42:11.

feel that something is about happen. This is a great header for goal

number one. It is something I don't have a great knowledge of generally.

:42:15.:42:20.

He is very strong. He often has to were three players around him when

:42:20.:42:27.

the ball comes to him, and it makes no effect whatsoever. And remember

:42:27.:42:36.

the winner there, putting in the quality ball. MacKay Stevens, Daly

:42:36.:42:45.

and Russell, they are also good players. But he looks a bit special.

:42:45.:42:54.

He it looks a little like Didier Drogba. This was number two today,

:42:54.:43:04.
:43:04.:43:05.

strength in the box, awareness. besiege he has got to a halt, --

:43:05.:43:15.
:43:15.:43:17.

physique to hold, he is buffeted by other players, but he turns. They

:43:17.:43:20.

will always have a chance of winning games now with that threat

:43:20.:43:25.

at the top end of the pitch. And he is getting reminders of what the

:43:25.:43:35.
:43:35.:43:37.

dressing room is all about. He will need to learn to take wind-ups. He

:43:37.:43:41.

can shove off all these players at the same time, and the fact that he

:43:41.:43:47.

is also interchangeable as well. He started left on previous games, but

:43:47.:43:54.

he looks more settled now centrally. But if you have got two players of

:43:54.:44:01.

that kind of physique, you don't need great balls up to them. Out of

:44:01.:44:07.

nothing, he created that. You need players who can create goalscoring

:44:07.:44:15.

chances from little sense. He looks a really exciting player, no doubt

:44:15.:44:20.

about it. It is four goals in three different competitions in seven

:44:21.:44:26.

days, starting with this one last week. He was hanging about in the

:44:26.:44:30.

right place, almost static Lee on the penalty spot when the ball

:44:30.:44:35.

started coming in. That is where strikers want to live, and he

:44:35.:44:40.

naturally gets himself into position. This is my Didier Drogba

:44:40.:44:48.

moment for him. He doesn't panic. That is what you want to see from a

:44:48.:44:58.
:44:58.:45:02.

striker. Coming from a different country and culture, playing in a

:45:02.:45:06.

huge game, and you score a goal early in the game, the confidence

:45:06.:45:13.

goes right through. He is obviously a talented kid. He could have

:45:13.:45:16.

scored four or five goals today, such were the positions he was

:45:16.:45:26.
:45:26.:45:37.

Nerd does not see the best a reaction between Falkirk and Forfar

:45:37.:45:47.
:45:47.:46:01.

-- and let's seat the best action goal. Falkirk are delighted the

:46:01.:46:08.

transfer window is now closed. 60 seconds after, Forfar had the

:46:08.:46:18.
:46:18.:46:19.

chance to get right back into this match. Stephen Kingsley tripped

:46:19.:46:29.
:46:29.:46:31.

somebody, giving a chance. Iain Campbell did what he usually does,

:46:31.:46:35.

and tee with the very real chance of making a claim for a place in

:46:35.:46:44.

the quarter-finals of the Scottish cop. Midway through the second half,

:46:44.:46:53.

Stewart Murdoch scored. Like every goal hunger striker, Lyle Taylor

:46:53.:46:59.

claimed it was actually he then got the goal. The state of the pitch

:46:59.:47:08.

was getting no better. With 15 minutes to go, another goal. David

:47:08.:47:18.
:47:18.:47:35.

rounded the keeper. It looked certain to be 4-1, but the

:47:35.:47:42.

goalkeeper rescued his side here. By this time, the Falkirk challenge

:47:42.:47:50.

was all but over. In the 83rd minute, it really was all over. Now

:47:50.:48:00.
:48:00.:48:19.

Alford loss of three is to pass the ball -- our philosophy is to pass

:48:19.:48:26.

the ball. We stood by our beliefs and philosophy. In the end, we take

:48:26.:48:36.
:48:36.:48:54.

them out and wore them down. A very the goalkeeper here. Jonathan

:48:54.:49:04.
:49:04.:49:06.

ravage somehow failed to score. -- Jonathon Routledge. It looked like

:49:06.:49:16.
:49:16.:49:22.

it might not be Hamilton's day. The attack floundered to nothing. The

:49:22.:49:28.

long-haired striker on loan is on good form. He would have his moment.

:49:28.:49:38.
:49:38.:49:51.

Six minutes into the second half, after his fresh air shot. What

:49:51.:49:58.

about Jonathon Routledge after his miss? He would score as well. He

:49:58.:50:08.
:50:08.:50:26.

defeat in a row. It just was not their day. Andy Kirk there.

:50:26.:50:33.

Dunfermline were out. Hamilton a bathroom, for the first time since

:50:33.:50:43.
:50:43.:50:52.

That is a big blow. Dunfermline were fragile, financially. It is a

:50:52.:50:57.

big bloke in just about every way you can imagine. -- it is a big

:50:57.:51:07.
:51:07.:51:10.

blow. He they will probably have counting that money, and they need

:51:10.:51:16.

that money. They could have been three or four goals today, quite

:51:16.:51:26.
:51:26.:51:35.

clearly. He Hamilton defended well. Steven May, he has real talent.

:51:35.:51:45.
:51:45.:52:04.

Lyle Taylor scored two, he reckoned he scored three, and I can sense

:52:04.:52:10.

sympathy from view. I do not think it is sympathy, I think he has

:52:10.:52:15.

scored three. He definitely touch that all! You can see from his

:52:15.:52:25.
:52:25.:52:33.

reaction. He knows that is coming from the striker. They have picked

:52:33.:52:41.

up a good player in Lyle Taylor, haven't they? A yes, and still very

:52:41.:52:51.
:52:51.:52:52.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:52:52.:54:04.

young. They have brought some Ross Draper in midfield. He could

:54:04.:54:14.
:54:14.:54:34.

well be Kilmarnock's greatest goal afternoon. Off we go. The Scottish

:54:34.:54:44.

Cup Fifth round. Kilmarnock are in their new strip. That wasn't every

:54:44.:54:54.
:54:54.:55:20.

That was a terrific block. Kilmarnock keep the pressure on.

:55:20.:55:30.
:55:30.:55:50.

the advantage. Inverness will have the free kick. Aaron Doran to

:55:50.:56:00.
:56:00.:56:18.

Gary Warren's waiter landed on him. It looks like Richie Foran's game

:56:18.:56:28.
:56:28.:56:30.

is finished. That is a blow. Roberts is a good replacement, but

:56:30.:56:40.
:56:40.:56:44.

Richie Foran is a key player. Andrew Shinnie. That was then

:56:44.:56:54.
:56:54.:57:03.

from Andrew Shinnie. A David Raven just could not get sufficiently

:57:03.:57:13.
:57:13.:57:48.

will look back on that and think he should have done much better. Even

:57:48.:57:56.

the faintest of touches might have taken that into third goal. -- into

:57:56.:58:06.
:58:06.:58:09.

hamstring. Further bad news for Inverness, having already lost

:58:09.:58:15.

Richie Foran to injury. They do not want to lose Andrew Shinnie. Such a

:58:15.:58:25.
:58:25.:58:31.

players in the first half -- Inverness have lost two key players

:58:31.:58:41.
:58:41.:58:41.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:58:41.:59:27.

sides this far. Philip Roberts with Sheridan. Again, headed away. Caley

:59:27.:59:33.

Thistle creating the better chances for the moment. That was a wicked

:59:34.:59:43.
:59:44.:59:50.

ball in, and well met, but Sheridan Kilmarnock. What a mess from

:59:50.:00:00.
:00:00.:00:28.

Injury worries for Kilmarnock. He looks to be holding his hamstring

:00:28.:00:33.

much as Andrew Shinnie was earlier. His team-mate put the ball out of

:00:33.:00:39.

play, and now Kilmarnock will have to replace an injured player. He

:00:39.:00:49.
:00:49.:00:56.

was just out muscled full-ball -- to replace him. So deadly last

:00:56.:01:06.

whistle. It has been as much a story of the walking wounded as

:01:07.:01:17.
:01:17.:01:17.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:01:17.:02:05.

anything else. Kilmarnock 0, early goal. It seemed to come off

:02:05.:02:15.
:02:15.:02:15.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:02:15.:03:12.

unguarded, and the home side break Doran. A great block their by

:03:12.:03:22.
:03:22.:03:57.

Ross, and Aaron Doran, with the shot, but he blocks its second time

:03:57.:04:07.
:04:07.:04:07.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 77 seconds

:04:07.:04:47.

Warren climbed highest to test the saved well. Warren completes the

:04:47.:04:57.
:04:57.:05:09.

Heffernan! A second goal for Kilmarnock. And surely now they are

:05:09.:05:14.

heading into the quarter-finals of the William Hill Scottish Cup! A

:05:14.:05:21.

beautiful play from the striker. Ross Barber's shot may or may not

:05:21.:05:29.

have been heading towards the goal. But it found the back of the net.

:05:29.:05:35.

And time has been called. There is the hero of the afternoon, Paul

:05:35.:05:43.

Heffernan. He has made the day of the Kilmarnock fans. They will see

:05:43.:05:47.

their side progressed to the quarterfinal of the Scottish Cup

:05:47.:05:57.
:05:57.:06:01.

for only the third time since they Delighted with the two goals, and

:06:01.:06:06.

delighted I got through to the next round. It was a shame for Cillian

:06:07.:06:13.

Sheridan and his hamstring. We got the result in the end, but it was

:06:14.:06:22.

hard, hard work. Losing Richie Foran and Andrew Shinnie, it

:06:22.:06:29.

probably harmed their chances. didn't score, which was unusual,

:06:29.:06:33.

but we got in good positions and had a lot of opportunities to shoot

:06:33.:06:39.

and cross. The final third has been our strength this season. It is

:06:39.:06:43.

hard, but if you look at the injuries and the programme we have

:06:43.:06:48.

had this week and the travelling, that hasn't helped. The last eight

:06:48.:06:54.

of the Scottish Cup, anything can happen. We had a bit of success

:06:54.:06:58.

last year, so we definitely want to do it again.

:06:58.:07:03.

We spoke about three wins and a week for St Merryn, three defeats

:07:03.:07:11.

in a week for Inverness. Terry was annoyed, after a couple of games,

:07:11.:07:15.

people said they were not playing so well, but I think they played

:07:15.:07:25.

well today. They created a lot of chances. Both managers felt that

:07:25.:07:30.

they could have won, but the difference was that one side had a

:07:30.:07:35.

player putting the ball in the net. There was always going to be a

:07:35.:07:40.

period in every season where it got tough, and this was it. Kilmarnock

:07:40.:07:45.

have firepower. They won the League Cup last season. Will they won the

:07:45.:07:50.

other cup this time around? I think a number of teams will be trying to

:07:50.:07:54.

suggest that they don't, but when you have goalscorers, you always

:07:54.:08:03.

have the chance. It probably summed up Inverness's luck today that

:08:03.:08:07.

Cillian Sheridan was off injured, Paul Heffernan came on and turned

:08:07.:08:13.

out to be the match-winner. He is looking now as if he is coming back

:08:13.:08:21.

to himself, and he will always be a threat at the top end of the pitch.

:08:21.:08:25.

There were almost shades of Tannadice with close to a goal

:08:25.:08:30.

inside 15 seconds. It was poor inside 15 seconds. It was poor

:08:31.:08:34.

defending at Tannadice. This was high comedy. I don't know what

:08:34.:08:41.

happened here. It was Keystone cops. So there could have been this

:08:42.:08:48.

incredible start, and that would have opened the game out. The game

:08:48.:08:52.

got better and better. But that would have livened it right from

:08:52.:08:58.

the start. As a manager, you must remember this. Steady at the back

:08:58.:09:02.

at the start, try and go forward quickly. I think that is the thing

:09:02.:09:08.

from a manager's point of view. You want to get a good start, focused,

:09:08.:09:13.

concentrated, and you see that there. Rangers lost a goal early in

:09:13.:09:16.

the game at Tannadice, and as much as you are teaching the same things

:09:16.:09:20.

to the players, they have to accept that responsibility when they go

:09:20.:09:26.

onto the pitch. They switched off, and that could have been dangerous.

:09:26.:09:31.

The story of the first half was all about in this -- injury and

:09:31.:09:41.
:09:41.:09:41.

substitutions. Terry was saying and has been a tough time. You know it

:09:41.:09:48.

is here that Richie Foran goes to his left leg. That is not a good

:09:48.:09:57.

sign, hamstring. On comes Taylor, and didn't have as much of an

:09:57.:10:04.

effect. I think Sheridan has had a very good season, but him coming

:10:04.:10:07.

off and Paul Heffernan coming on actually work in their favour

:10:07.:10:13.

brilliantly, just as Owen was saying there. None of these things

:10:13.:10:19.

were planned, but it worked brilliantly for Kilmarnock. Paul

:10:19.:10:22.

Heffernan would have wanted to come back, because he has been

:10:22.:10:31.

unfortunate with injuries. I loved his first goal. There was a bit of

:10:31.:10:35.

bad fortune in the way it was conceded, but Paul Heffernan is a

:10:35.:10:42.

natural-born goalscorer. He knows where he is putting it, in the

:10:42.:10:48.

bottom corner. There was a bit of bad luck, but you can say nothing

:10:48.:10:55.

against the striker, that was a good finish. The first touch is

:10:55.:11:00.

sublime, and he sets himself up. spoke about awareness earlier on

:11:00.:11:04.

and taking chances from close-in. This is what the second goal for

:11:04.:11:10.

Paul Heffernan was all about. effortless. He knows exactly where

:11:10.:11:15.

the Gaullists. Sometimes it is just about redirecting the ball towards

:11:15.:11:25.
:11:25.:11:26.

the goal. It is almost caressed around the corner. The pace is all

:11:26.:11:30.

in the ball, he knows where the goals are, he knows where the six-

:11:30.:11:40.

yard boxes, and that is such a I have to say, if you get van

:11:40.:11:45.

Persie doing that, they talk about it all week. That is a great

:11:45.:11:49.

technique, and that striker's awareness of where the goal is is

:11:49.:11:54.

wonderful. It is a great result for Kilmarnock, but Inverness have to

:11:54.:11:58.

bounce back and relaunch what they are doing in the league. It is one

:11:58.:12:03.

of those things where I do think he has picked a great squad. There are

:12:03.:12:09.

players who have worked hard all season. But have they got a good

:12:09.:12:14.

enough squad to stay right at the top, go for the cup and challenge

:12:14.:12:22.

for the lead? I don't think they have. They know that their chances

:12:22.:12:32.
:12:32.:12:34.

of silverware were there. That is the only way to look at it for them.

:12:34.:12:38.

The story of the fifth round of the William Hill Scottish Cup continues

:12:38.:12:45.

tomorrow lunchtime with our live match on the BBC. Race Rovers

:12:45.:12:53.

against Celtic. Live coverage begins at 12.25. There are two

:12:53.:13:00.

other fifth-round ties to be played tomorrow. Extensive highlights of

:13:00.:13:08.

all three for you tomorrow night from 10.25 on BBC One Scotland.

:13:08.:13:12.

Celtic bounced back with their league performance, four goals

:13:12.:13:22.
:13:22.:13:25.

against Kilmarnock. But Raith will look towards what St Merryn did. --

:13:25.:13:33.

St Mirren. They had the character to bounce back during the week.

:13:33.:13:40.

They want to win the Scottish Cup, and it was a tough venue. It will

:13:40.:13:44.

be a great day, a big crowd, but they don't want that to be the end

:13:44.:13:53.

of it. They would love that, and particularly Hooper has been

:13:53.:14:01.

fantastic. They are delighted that he is going to stay at Celtic.

:14:01.:14:09.

Certainly going forward into the Champions' League against Juventus.

:14:09.:14:15.

It is tough to replace his sort of goals. He is a top player, and one

:14:15.:14:18.

to look out for tomorrow. They have nothing to lose and might as well

:14:18.:14:24.

have a go. They just seem to know where to go. Norwich were throwing

:14:24.:14:32.

some good money at it. They were trying to entice Celtic to sell him.

:14:32.:14:36.

But they did the right thing, I think, in keeping a quality player

:14:36.:14:42.

and giving themselves every chance. But goals change games. The Celtic

:14:42.:14:46.

had scored the penalty, they could have gone on to win that game last

:14:46.:14:56.
:14:56.:14:57.

week. That financial lure of a big fee for Hooper was big, but they

:14:57.:15:03.

are focused on continuing in the Champions' League here. We hope

:15:03.:15:13.
:15:13.:15:23.

that familiarity doesn't breed They have not left a lot of goals

:15:23.:15:33.
:15:33.:15:39.

in. They might as well get out and go for it. Many other obliques, --

:15:39.:15:48.

many other week, it would have been different. There has been good

:15:48.:15:58.
:15:58.:15:59.

games today. It takes you away from the weekly grind of the Premier

:15:59.:16:07.

League. They missed a chance to win a trophy. -- there is a chance to

:16:07.:16:17.
:16:17.:16:27.

win a trophy. Your moment of the day? I think it was that quick goal,

:16:27.:16:35.

Dundee United. For Jackie McNamara to start at his new club, the work

:16:35.:16:43.

between the strikers was fantastic. I thought Russell was fantastic. To

:16:43.:16:53.
:16:53.:17:05.

start with that! How important that Russell stayed with Dundee. Esmael

:17:05.:17:12.

Goncalves, I think that was your special moment. Absolute they. His

:17:12.:17:18.

first goal was terrific. For me, the second goal, the Strand, the

:17:18.:17:26.

awareness and technique. The awareness to put it in the corner,

:17:26.:17:34.

it was sensational. When will you get back to work? That is a crucial

:17:34.:17:44.

question to end with! We all know who the bosses. I am enjoying the

:17:44.:17:49.

break at the moment. I have had a few offers. If it is the right job,

:17:49.:17:57.

I will take it tomorrow. Time will tell. I have had three or four

:17:57.:18:02.

offers. I feel it has got to be the right job, the right people with

:18:02.:18:12.
:18:12.:18:14.

the right ambitions. Good to have you with those. Thanks to patter as

:18:14.:18:21.
