:15:27. > :15:31.He looked trouble that one point. He it, self-inflicted. But neither
:15:31. > :15:35.did we. It was a poor game and sometimes when you get a poor game
:15:35. > :15:38.there some events in it that make it more interesting, but this game
:15:38. > :15:44.did not have anything in it and I was disappointed for the spectators
:15:44. > :15:48.that travelled all the way up. They want to see some action and it
:15:48. > :15:55.didn't happen and the quality of play, our distribution was not good.
:15:55. > :16:05.Having said that, it is good to come away having watched them again
:16:05. > :16:10.
:16:10. > :16:16.What about the penalty appeal from your team here, which might have
:16:16. > :16:22.been upheld for handball? I would not like it given against us. He
:16:22. > :16:26.has pulled his hand away in a way which he might be trying to
:16:26. > :16:31.camouflage that he has handled it, but he pulls away after the
:16:31. > :16:36.contract. But I don't think it is a penalty. Pulling it away makes it
:16:36. > :16:41.look worse. It is not an unnatural position, and him pulling it away
:16:41. > :16:46.makes it look worse. Were you getting excited about the challenge
:16:46. > :16:49.on Roddy Mackenzie at the edge of the box? I don't think there was a
:16:49. > :16:59.decision given. It was influenced by the fact that this player had
:16:59. > :17:07.already been booked. This was the best angle. Just give the free kick,
:17:07. > :17:12.don't send him off. Sometimes they can feel duty-bound. It is a
:17:12. > :17:17.shooting position. It warrants a yellow, and the kid has to go. We
:17:17. > :17:23.don't want to see that happening. Rory Mackenzie is a promising
:17:23. > :17:26.youngster. So is Matthew Kennedy, who has moved on to Everton. We
:17:26. > :17:32.picked him out in the first weekend of the season. You obviously know
:17:32. > :17:37.all about him. Kilmarnock spent a lot of time and money on bringing
:17:37. > :17:46.him through the system. How happy are you that he moves on at age 17,
:17:47. > :17:51.and you get about �200,000? Well, you really want to do what is best
:17:51. > :18:01.for the boys. Personally, I think for Matthew to go into years' time
:18:01. > :18:04.when he is 19 Alnwick experienced a lot of SPL football would be ideal.
:18:04. > :18:09.If you draw parallels and make comparisons with the other players
:18:09. > :18:15.that have gone to the English Premier League, 95% of them had a
:18:15. > :18:20.spell in the SPL first. Steven Fletcher, the two lies at Hamilton,
:18:20. > :18:26.Steven Naismith. They all had time and served their apprenticeship in
:18:26. > :18:33.the SPL. Then it is down to the majority of each individual. I
:18:33. > :18:36.would have liked Matthew just day and get some more proper
:18:36. > :18:41.development here, rather than throwing him to the rigours of the
:18:42. > :18:45.English Premier League where hopefully, he can succeed. I really
:18:45. > :18:52.want the boy to do well. The must love looking back on the League Cup
:18:52. > :18:58.success of last season, but is it a double-edged sword? When you win a
:18:58. > :19:02.trophy, the fans expect something of the same next season. It is
:19:03. > :19:06.important that you have got realism. Our supporters are not daft. They
:19:06. > :19:13.know what has happened during the summer and how we have been
:19:13. > :19:17.affected by it. They understand. We do have to take a hit. In terms of
:19:17. > :19:22.the players and the budget. But most of the other clubs are the
:19:22. > :19:30.same. So I do not want to harp on about that, but we are affected
:19:30. > :19:36.worst of all the SPL clubs. We have talked about Kilmarnock, but Ross
:19:36. > :19:42.County deserved massive credit as well. 39 games unbeaten. Parallels
:19:43. > :19:46.have been drawn with the Celtic record. That was done at a high
:19:46. > :19:52.level of football, but to go unbeaten for that length of time,
:19:52. > :20:02.this was the only goal conceded in the last season. It is incredible.
:20:02. > :20:06.Everybody says it is incredible at any level. But not to lose a
:20:06. > :20:11.Premier League game and keep that going is testament to them. It is
:20:11. > :20:17.all about teamwork, effort, keeping clean sheets, not losing many goals.
:20:17. > :20:20.They could do with scoring a few more. But bringing that level of
:20:20. > :20:26.football to the Premier League and continuing in that run is
:20:26. > :20:30.phenomenal. I would just like to add to that, because when you get
:20:30. > :20:37.to the ground, there is an ambience about the place and the people are
:20:37. > :20:41.so friendly. Roy MacGregor and boys like that one to show you what they
:20:41. > :20:48.have. They have great pride, and that emanates onto the pitch. And
:20:48. > :20:54.the players are the same. They have a great atmosphere and spirit.
:20:54. > :20:59.grow to love that part of the world. Let's get action from the other two
:20:59. > :21:06.SPL games are played yesterday, St Johnstone in against Dundee United
:21:07. > :21:12.and Aberdeen versus then Mirren. Aberdeen's previous two home league
:21:12. > :21:17.games have ended 0-0. Earlier, it was suggested that that would not
:21:17. > :21:23.be the outcome against St Mirren, Donny hes coming close here. Johnny
:21:23. > :21:29.Hayes then turned provider. Osborne took the shot on as the bombs
:21:29. > :21:35.continued to create chances. And from another corner came another
:21:35. > :21:39.opportunity. Just me Dennis this time with the header. At first, it
:21:39. > :21:44.seemed a good save by Greg Samson, but at second showing, you can see
:21:44. > :21:50.the ball crashing off the post. St Merryn did not create too many
:21:50. > :21:59.chances in the first half. This was certainly a decent build up. A
:21:59. > :22:03.great ball in, nicely flicked on by Steven Thomson. Johnny Hayes was in
:22:03. > :22:07.the thick of things for much of this match. The summer signing
:22:07. > :22:13.showed why Craig Brown wanted him at the club. A great delivery for
:22:13. > :22:19.Cammy Smith, only for the woodwork to deny the 17-year-old. Hayes was
:22:19. > :22:25.full of tricks. A lovely ball in, and that would have been some way
:22:25. > :22:30.to mark your first appearance for the club this season. Aberdeen
:22:30. > :22:37.pressed for the winner. Mark Reynolds' free kick created a
:22:37. > :22:45.chance for Scott Vernon. But still, they couldn't score. The ball fell
:22:46. > :22:51.for Vernon. Rapid -- that is Aberdeen's third 0-0 draw at home
:22:51. > :22:57.this season. Both teams were hoping to bounce
:22:57. > :23:01.back from last weekend. Dundee United with the opening, the ball
:23:01. > :23:04.nicely teed up by John in Russell, who could have been Huddersfield
:23:04. > :23:12.bound on deadline day edge. St Johnstone have not won in the SPL
:23:12. > :23:21.since the end of March. Dundee United were without Gary Mackay
:23:21. > :23:25.Stephen. In came Stuart Armstrong. Great play, but his opponent was
:23:25. > :23:35.equal to his job. There was not much to get excited about in this
:23:35. > :23:43.
:23:43. > :23:49.one. But watch Nigel Hasselbaink. He clearly felt differently. The
:23:50. > :23:54.Frenchman tried his luck. Peter Hooton apologised for the lack of
:23:54. > :23:58.entertainment on show yesterday, as another penalty claim came and went.
:23:58. > :24:02.Davison's arm was up as he jumped for the ball, no but no handball
:24:02. > :24:12.offence, according to the left. The aforementioned Castlebeck could
:24:12. > :24:17.
:24:17. > :24:26.With the score lines are still at 0-0 and the chances few and far
:24:26. > :24:34.between, perhaps the next incident was more born out of frustration. A
:24:34. > :24:37.bit of afters. And that resulted in Dylan and Anderson being booked.
:24:37. > :24:42.After who's done's comments on lack of entertainment, there was
:24:42. > :24:47.something slightly amusing about this. No penalty given.
:24:47. > :24:50.Interestingly, no yellow either for the Frenchman as the teams shared
:24:50. > :25:00.the spoils. Peter has done described that match
:25:00. > :25:01.
:25:01. > :25:07.as brutal, which is worse than awful. Gary Stephen is out for six
:25:07. > :25:15.weeks, and he makes things happen for them. He is a very good player,
:25:15. > :25:19.yes. He is still struggling with his injuries. He is exciting, one
:25:19. > :25:25.you like to watch as long as he is not playing against you. But they
:25:25. > :25:34.are a big club. To have one player missing is not... They have other
:25:34. > :25:38.good players as well. Would you expect them to be best of the bunch,
:25:38. > :25:46.with Celtic at the end of the season? Or is there a lot of
:25:46. > :25:50.competition in that area? Behind Celtic, certainly. You have your
:25:50. > :25:55.Aberdeens, your Hearts. Motherwell are just waiting for their bubble
:25:55. > :26:04.to burst, and it never does. Those teams will be battling it out for
:26:04. > :26:13.second place. You also have to mention Hibs. Whether they can
:26:13. > :26:18.sustain it is another question, but fair play to them. The St Johnstone
:26:18. > :26:28.starts, and some choose to use them. It is 14 competitive games since
:26:28. > :26:29.
:26:29. > :26:37.they won. It is a bit early to be getting carried away. It is unfair.
:26:37. > :26:43.It is easy to put statistics up there because last season, there
:26:43. > :26:48.were tough games. They were playing against teams who were going for
:26:48. > :26:51.Europe, and St Johnstone were a bit beyond the European thing. Those
:26:51. > :26:56.teams were highly charged. They had quite a few injuries as well by the
:26:56. > :27:02.end of the season. It is easy to put statistics up there. Against
:27:02. > :27:08.him, they were unlucky. It is confidence. You get into the habit
:27:08. > :27:14.of not winning, it is hard to get out of it. But they had a big squad.
:27:14. > :27:22.They have loads of strikers. I think they will come good, but they
:27:22. > :27:31.have to start showing it sooner. was a familiar theme for Aberdeen
:27:31. > :27:41.fans. They are creating plenty, and not scoring. 30-0 scores at home. -
:27:41. > :27:54.
:27:54. > :27:58.-03 0-0 scores at home. Vernon missed a chance. He will come good.
:27:58. > :28:02.He needs a couple of goals. His confidence is so low that he is
:28:02. > :28:08.missing those sorts of chances. Michael Higdon scored a hat-trick
:28:08. > :28:11.today. Then the confidence oozes out of you. Stuart McCall was with
:28:12. > :28:15.us here last Sunday night, and his Motherwell team can hold their
:28:15. > :28:25.heads high after losing only one goal to Spanish side Levante in
:28:25. > :28:50.
:28:50. > :29:00.Valencia on Thursday night. Today really difficult. Good save. It is
:29:00. > :29:00.
:29:00. > :29:10.1-0! In the 11th minute. No one could get him away of this. The

:29:42. > :29:42.
:29:42. > :30:29.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 47 seconds
:30:29. > :30:34.Caledonian Thistle were back in the game. But that is 28 minutes gone
:30:34. > :30:44.and suddenly the scoreline seems a whole lot better for Caledonian
:30:44. > :30:54.
:30:54. > :31:02.The second attempt is well off target and that is an elite
:31:02. > :31:08.defender. The long ball down the middle and Richie Foran had net in
:31:08. > :31:18.behind the defender. He was taken out there and Inverness are furious
:31:18. > :31:20.
:31:20. > :31:30.that no free kick was given there. Dangerous, could be very dangerous!
:31:30. > :31:31.
:31:31. > :31:41.It is 3-1. A howler from the full- back, who has gifted Motherwell
:31:41. > :31:57.
:31:57. > :32:07.after call false up SPL football A spectacular attempt there by the
:32:07. > :32:12.
:32:12. > :32:22.defender. Trouble here for Inverness again. It is a brilliant
:32:22. > :32:22.
:32:22. > :32:32.finish. It has been at finishing master casts from Michael Higdon. -
:32:32. > :32:33.
:32:33. > :32:39.- masterclass. Tom Hateley's back pass is dangerous. He is trapped
:32:39. > :32:43.and Inverness Caledonian Thistle have a penalty. It will not change
:32:43. > :32:53.the outcome of the match but it is disappointing for Motherwell, if
:32:53. > :32:54.
:32:54. > :33:04.they're going to concede right that the end. The penalty is St! The
:33:04. > :33:06.
:33:06. > :33:10.story of the day for them as mother They could have been going for
:33:10. > :33:20.excuses after running about in Valencia this week but they just
:33:20. > :33:28.seem to get on with business. have gone two matches this season
:33:28. > :33:32.at Motherwell and the crowds continue to give them stepped. He
:33:32. > :33:36.got his hat-trick there, Michael Higdon, and he is certainly a big
:33:36. > :33:43.player for Motherwell. There is more than harm and they have done
:33:43. > :33:51.very well. This was fantastic from Chris Humphrey but the hat-trick
:33:51. > :33:56.just at top quality finishing. Sometimes Chris Humphrey does not
:33:56. > :34:02.give you the end product but the movement, just a couple of yards,
:34:02. > :34:06.and Terry Butcher would not want to see that one! He still get so much
:34:06. > :34:13.to do. He narrows the angle of good Cup lasted through his legs but to
:34:13. > :34:19.get his foot round it and place it in the corner. You see this and
:34:19. > :34:26.when you are on song and confident, that is exactly what happens. When
:34:26. > :34:30.we played mother where luck couple of weeks ago, we gave them a goal.
:34:30. > :34:37.It was a bad back-pass. All the Johnson get away goals up Murphy
:34:37. > :34:42.had a lot of work to do and he did it really well. If you have players
:34:42. > :34:48.like Michael Higdon, it takes a lot of weight up. The pictures showed
:34:48. > :34:53.as he is not a happy man. Is he ever? The last four goals to Celtic
:34:53. > :34:57.last week. Another four goals to date. They're making lots of
:34:57. > :35:03.defensive errors and that is any idea of the game he will want to
:35:03. > :35:06.improve on sharpish. If you're giving away goals, you want to
:35:06. > :35:09.score them. I know Terry Butcher and he will be out on that
:35:09. > :35:15.training-ground making sure they are working on it and getting
:35:15. > :35:18.across the pitch, closing down gaps and keeping the gaps in midfield
:35:18. > :35:23.picked as well. There is no doubt they will work on that but they
:35:23. > :35:27.have to improve quickly or it will be a long season for them. Up
:35:27. > :35:37.another funny old week fire at Hearts. They sold David Templeton
:35:37. > :35:54.
:35:54. > :36:01.to Rangers on Friday and had a I yellow-card has shown to the
:36:01. > :36:11.Hearts captain. There was a pool on his shirt and the referee says a
:36:11. > :36:12.
:36:12. > :36:22.penalty goals up than they are run the bought far this SPL season! A
:36:22. > :36:34.
:36:34. > :36:44.perfect penalty. McDonald when the he has a good right fit! Callum
:36:44. > :36:47.
:36:47. > :36:51.Patterson seeking his first goal for Hearts. Patterson is close to
:36:51. > :36:56.him. Klutz at inside and that is on to my gown who put it inside
:36:57. > :37:02.MacGregor. He goes down and it's a penalty! It is going to be a yellow
:37:02. > :37:12.cards close up it was Neil MacGregor who committed the offence,
:37:12. > :37:13.
:37:14. > :37:23.number five. He has missed this one, it is a safe. A fine save by a wrap
:37:24. > :37:33.
:37:33. > :37:40.up lists of up -- by Rab Douglas. Away their by Webster. Date where I
:37:40. > :37:48.Pattison close-up onside and on to his left out. It is his weaker foot
:37:48. > :37:58.but good to see him having a goal. Patterson with the run to get away
:37:58. > :38:29.
:38:29. > :38:39.by Rab Douglas. Good save. Hearts coming forward again. A good shot.
:38:39. > :38:48.
:38:48. > :38:56.Rab Douglas looking not to be and it got away will stock Hearts
:38:56. > :39:01.are still looking at her in equaliser will start McAllister
:39:01. > :39:11.almost in their but loses out to Webster. A chance here for Ryan
:39:11. > :39:13.
:39:13. > :39:23.Stevenson. He goes through on the right foot and again, Rab Douglas
:39:23. > :39:23.
:39:23. > :39:33.provides the cover. Stephenson, Opaline by a Ryan Conroy and the
:39:33. > :39:43.
:39:43. > :39:47.goalkeeper gets at the way it, and across. The defender could have
:39:47. > :39:57.knocked it past his own goalkeeper and he knew there was danger. Slips
:39:57. > :39:58.
:39:58. > :40:08.at a late. A last chance here far harps. -- for Hearts. Good and
:40:08. > :40:11.
:40:11. > :40:21.directed on target. Sense that Dundee back in the SPL, was it
:40:21. > :40:21.
:40:21. > :40:24.worth it? You have to say, yes, it was worth it. The big reservation
:40:25. > :40:29.is Hearts had most of the possession of the ball and I do not
:40:29. > :40:37.think a bit much wrong. What pleases me about Hearts is the
:40:37. > :40:47.freshness John McGlinn has brought. He is putting young players and. He
:40:47. > :40:55.is not just putting them on the bench but hitting them in the team.
:40:55. > :40:58.He is putting them in. At he deserves a lot of credit for that.
:40:59. > :41:05.Sometimes there is no choice because that is all you have both
:41:05. > :41:09.up people have to be patient. Dundee have added a bit of street
:41:09. > :41:15.wise up front. That was what one in the early penalty goals up there
:41:15. > :41:20.was not much in it but that is what you get sometimes. If he is trying
:41:20. > :41:26.to gain an advantage by putting him up balance -- off balance, he is
:41:26. > :41:29.right to go down. At their three points. They probably rode their
:41:29. > :41:36.luck in terms of chances and possession but when you work hard,
:41:36. > :41:46.sometimes you deserve the three points. Rolling back the years is
:41:46. > :41:56.the phrase we tend to use when somebody like Rab Douglas pops up
:41:56. > :42:00.
:42:00. > :42:07.with a performance like that. was an inspiration today. He was,
:42:07. > :42:15.brilliant. Full of enthusiasm and what is he, 53? A very good say it
:42:15. > :42:21.also up the that is the youngster, Patterson, you're talking about.
:42:21. > :42:26.Full of energy and he never stops working. He will have enjoyed that
:42:26. > :42:32.today, what he? It is good to see the young players playing and
:42:32. > :42:39.deputting on a lot of pressure. Andy got the goal and sat in there
:42:39. > :42:44.and Hearts to call the pressure. They were desperate for three
:42:44. > :42:48.points and what a huge boost that is for them and the effect for
:42:48. > :42:55.survival. David Templeton played on Thursday night and today he played
:42:55. > :42:58.against Elgin as a Rangers player. What did you think of his decision?
:42:58. > :43:02.He has effectively ruled himself out of being an international for
:43:02. > :43:09.the next couple of years but it Rangers get back into the Premier
:43:09. > :43:14.League, and he is playing like that... He was good today and she
:43:14. > :43:17.had some good finishes. He got more confident as the game went on and I
:43:17. > :43:22.think he could be a top player for Rangers but it is a few years
:43:22. > :43:32.before we could see him playing for Scotland of up acrimonious
:43:32. > :43:41.
:43:41. > :43:49.No-name at the bottom up that statement but it has Vladimir
:43:49. > :43:53.Romanov all over it. You cannot say at Clear switches off because there
:43:54. > :43:57.is another player looking. When you cross that white line you want to
:43:57. > :44:07.play football, and you can see that in him. David Templeton lost to
:44:07. > :44:10.
:44:10. > :44:14.take players on and he loves the game and you can see that.
:44:14. > :44:22.supportive where you up his decision to join Rangers? In the
:44:22. > :44:26.future, immediately, it means playing football in the Third
:44:26. > :44:31.Division. He is 37 now and tears at the stage of his life where he has
:44:31. > :44:37.to think about his future because he has sacrificed money for quite a
:44:37. > :44:40.bit that his football career. January, he decided to go back to
:44:40. > :44:46.England. He hung on quite a bit through the summer to see if
:44:46. > :44:51.something could come up and he was staying up a loyal to Kilmarnock in
:44:51. > :44:56.case we could get something for him but we were not able to do that.
:44:56. > :45:02.Then Rangers came in. The options where Ukraine in Switzerland and
:45:02. > :45:06.countries like that where he could have gone. He has got back into
:45:06. > :45:11.Scotland with his Scottish wife and their settled here and that had a
:45:11. > :45:18.big impact. He is financially secure so that is the main thing.
:45:18. > :45:20.We wish him well. SPL football returns in two weeks' time. That's
:45:20. > :45:23.after Scotland kick off their World Cup campaign and we'll have
:45:23. > :45:26.extensive highlights of both matches - at home to Serbia at
