0:00:17 > 0:00:27Believe it or not, we're ten weeks into the season. For us it has gone
0:00:27 > 0:00:38
0:00:38 > 0:00:45Stokes doesn't miss it. Now that's a finish. Jim Jefferies is no
0:00:45 > 0:00:55longer the manager of Hearts. Lafferty is back. McKay and it's in
0:00:55 > 0:01:05the back of the net! Derby delight for Hearts. That is impettious.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09
0:01:09 > 0:01:13That is unorthodox. First blood for Rangers. He has found it. So ten
0:01:13 > 0:01:20weeks gone and Celtic went to Tynecastle ten points behind
0:01:20 > 0:01:27Rangers. Hibs assistants manager Billy Brown was back to watch the
0:01:27 > 0:01:31game. For Neil Lennon, last season going there was grim and never dull.
0:01:31 > 0:01:37Black thinks about the shot. Deflected goal. Ledley that, that
0:01:37 > 0:01:42could be a bad tackle. The referee goes to his pocket and it is a
0:01:42 > 0:01:47straight red. A perfect ball and a perfect finish or the Templeton. It
0:01:47 > 0:01:52looked like a hand. It is Neil Lennon's turn to take the walk up
0:01:52 > 0:01:58the tunnel. Hooper, 1-0. It should have been a red card. He's done it
0:01:58 > 0:02:08again. Great skill, great goal, but a second yellow for Commons. He is
0:02:08 > 0:02:21
0:02:21 > 0:02:26off. Here is the Hearts team Celtic return of Kris Commons, and El
0:02:26 > 0:02:33Kaddouri. The best of the match with Paul Mitchell. Black sends it
0:02:33 > 0:02:40through and Stevenson is in and forces a save from Forster. He was
0:02:40 > 0:02:46played onside. Majstorovic gave him a yard and Stevenson almost made
0:02:46 > 0:02:54Celtic pay. Back at Tynecastle, back on the touchline. Hamill
0:02:55 > 0:03:04swings it in. Zaliukas and almost touched in by tempson. Ki makes the
0:03:05 > 0:03:06
0:03:06 > 0:03:16block. -- Templeton. Not sure if Templeton got a touch. Ki blocked
0:03:16 > 0:03:22
0:03:22 > 0:03:32he got the power on the header that he was looking for. Granger
0:03:32 > 0:04:04
0:04:04 > 0:04:14presented it to Forest. Forest with ball. Majstorovic stretching out
0:04:14 > 0:04:28
0:04:28 > 0:04:38there. The chairman watching on to make the save. The ball goes
0:04:38 > 0:04:43
0:04:43 > 0:04:49behind. It is a good save from the in the SPL without conceding. But
0:04:49 > 0:04:55they're on the back foot here. Commons from his left on to his
0:04:55 > 0:05:05right and parried by Macdonald. Kris Commons comfortable to strike
0:05:05 > 0:05:07
0:05:07 > 0:05:17with either foot. This time the right. Bangura with the shot. For
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Hearts fortunately it goes over the top. Bangura controlled it well.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Mel grew against Stevenson. The ball goes for a goal kick. There
0:05:27 > 0:05:37was an appeal for hand ball. Stevenson had his back to him. The
0:05:37 > 0:05:47
0:05:47 > 0:05:57ball simply hit his hand. No great 15 minutes gone. The hero is Skacel.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03Celtic didn't deal with the high ball. Templeton tumped it down and
0:06:03 > 0:06:12Skacel diswatched -- touched it down and Skacel dis batched --
0:06:12 > 0:06:17dispatched the ball. Commons has gone over the top and he is off.
0:06:17 > 0:06:27What an easy decision for the referee Kris Commons was sent off
0:06:27 > 0:06:41
0:06:41 > 0:06:51here in the 3-0 win in May goes down to ten men with the departure
0:06:51 > 0:07:01
0:07:02 > 0:07:07of Kris Commons. And Stokes Stevenson, past the keeper and in.
0:07:07 > 0:07:13Ryan Stevenson will wrap up the points for Hearts. Well he looked
0:07:13 > 0:07:19offside, but it will be a different phase of play. Clever from
0:07:19 > 0:07:25Templeton and calm from Stevenson. Mulgrew threw up an arm. But
0:07:25 > 0:07:31Templeton's clever back heel. And Hearts lead by 2-0. Misery for
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Celtic. There noise point in getting carried away, because we
0:07:35 > 0:07:41beat -- there is no point in getting carried away because we
0:07:41 > 0:07:45beat Celtic. We played well. But we can't just play like that today and
0:07:45 > 0:07:51then in two weeks not apply ourselves in the same manner.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56conceded a poor goal when we were on top. After half time we had
0:07:56 > 0:08:03control of the game. My biggest bug bear about today is... The amount
0:08:03 > 0:08:06of good chances we missed. We were flagrant in front of goal and away
0:08:06 > 0:08:12from home, the longer the game is 0-0, you give the opposition
0:08:12 > 0:08:16encouragement. I thraugts if we had got a goal it would have opened up
0:08:16 > 0:08:22Heart. But the first goal changed the nature of the game and then we
0:08:22 > 0:08:26lost our discipline. Or one player did. And let us down badly.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29happy doesn't quite cover it for happy doesn't quite cover it for
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Neil Lennon. That was your first time being back at Hearts since
0:08:35 > 0:08:40being sacked by Hearts, did it feel strange? Yes I didn't think I would
0:08:40 > 0:08:44be back as quick. We play Hearts in the League Cup and it was part of
0:08:44 > 0:08:48my job to go there. It was Prebble better to get it over with. Does it
0:08:49 > 0:08:52feel, do you feel better about going into the League Cup tie than
0:08:52 > 0:08:59you would have done a couple of week ago, because of Celtic's
0:08:59 > 0:09:03situation and Hibs? There has been a progression in our performances.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09We looked good yesterday, although we got beat, it was a good step up
0:09:09 > 0:09:13and every game we have got better. It gives you heart to take on
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Celtic. Because you know, they're not doing as well as what they were
0:09:18 > 0:09:27and we're on an upward climb. confirms that Celtic don't ring as
0:09:27 > 0:09:32well. This was -- aren't doing as well. This was -- aren't doing as
0:09:32 > 0:09:38well. This was an awful build up. Why master vich -- Majstorovic
0:09:38 > 0:09:45didn't led that out of way. As soon as it drops to Skacel, he is a good
0:09:45 > 0:09:48striker of the ball, there was only one place it would ends up in the
0:09:48 > 0:09:54end. Stevenson may have been offside. But I think it is
0:09:54 > 0:09:59clutching at straws for Celtic. He finished it well. Yes I don't think
0:09:59 > 0:10:05Ryan, you can't blame the linesman for not getting I right. But great
0:10:05 > 0:10:12play from Templeton and a great firn. Templeton's got that in his
0:10:12 > 0:10:19locker. He's really good player. At that stage, much deserved. That
0:10:19 > 0:10:24will do Paolo sench owe a lot of good. The Hearts -- Sergio a lot of
0:10:24 > 0:10:29good. The Hearts fans think he has not set the place alight.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34beating Celtic is a big result and he was under pressure today. When
0:10:34 > 0:10:40you're at Heart and Hibs, you're under pressure to get results and
0:10:40 > 0:10:44it will do him a power of good and he can maybe increase his lease on
0:10:44 > 0:10:51his flat. Kris Commons made an impact for obvious reasons. But
0:10:52 > 0:10:56early in the game, you saw why he brings Celtic to life at times.
0:10:56 > 0:11:05He's good player. You know he is dangerous and got a good shot. He
0:11:05 > 0:11:11has not played in the last few weeks. But today he did well. But I
0:11:11 > 0:11:16mean what he did here, after his team going 1-0 down is crazy. And I
0:11:16 > 0:11:23thought Neil summed it up well, he has let his team mates down. There
0:11:23 > 0:11:30is 25 minutes to go and thrair well in the game at the time. After that,
0:11:30 > 0:11:35they have no chance. There was a rare sighting of the Hearts owner,
0:11:35 > 0:11:43I take its you were over exchanging pleasantrys with him. No, I never
0:11:43 > 0:11:47had much to do with him when I was there and I don't intend to have
0:11:47 > 0:11:51much to do with him now I have left. He was catching his private jet
0:11:51 > 0:11:58back to Lithuania. I love the look on the face of security officer
0:11:58 > 0:12:04there. The fear of doth was in her eyes. How sore are you about being
0:12:04 > 0:12:09sacked by Hearts? I am not sore now. These things help you. Jim and I
0:12:09 > 0:12:14done very well there. I showed Hearts a lot of loyalty in both
0:12:15 > 0:12:20periods frplts I have been sacked there twice. In the crunch I got no
0:12:20 > 0:12:25loyalty back. I'm not hurt about it. I was offered a good job with an
0:12:25 > 0:12:32equally big club and I have got a burning desire to do well there.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37And you know everyone's set up to do well. Rangers set out yesterday
0:12:37 > 0:12:43to stretch their SPL run to nine in a row. But it was a visit to Ibrox
0:12:43 > 0:12:52a year ago that gave Colin Calderwood his first win as Hibs
0:12:52 > 0:13:02Calderwood his first win as Hibs manager. That is a peach into the
0:13:02 > 0:13:03
0:13:03 > 0:13:07top corner. Colin Calderwood has an unlikely first victory as Hibs
0:13:07 > 0:13:17manager. Hibs were back to face a Rangers change showing one change
0:13:17 > 0:13:19
0:13:19 > 0:13:29from the win against Kilmarnock. A first start for bedo I ya. --
0:13:29 > 0:13:38
0:13:38 > 0:13:47to Wylde. Stack came to meet him. It is the first sights of goal that
0:13:47 > 0:13:57Rangers have had in the game. The last time Hibs came here, they one
0:13:57 > 0:14:12
0:14:12 > 0:14:22game so far. Rangers have one man down. Heads are playing on ASDA has
0:14:22 > 0:14:22
0:14:22 > 0:14:32been no was all. Sproule! -- Hibernian are playing on as there
0:14:32 > 0:14:35
0:14:35 > 0:14:42was no whistle. Stack was the hero. Great ball from Kyle Lafferty right
0:14:42 > 0:14:51through to the Croatian. Good first touch. Lafferty can certainly hit
0:14:51 > 0:15:00them from here. Stack get rid of it. Didn't look as though it had that
0:15:00 > 0:15:08much power in it. It is a slippy surface. Davies. Another great ball
0:15:08 > 0:15:13through for Lafferty. Penalty! Stack was the offender. He has
0:15:13 > 0:15:21denied Rangers a couple of times in the first half. In stoppage time of
0:15:21 > 0:15:29the first half, he concede a penalty. It is Whitaker. Over!
0:15:29 > 0:15:39Chance missed for Rangers right on the interval. In from Scott. He
0:15:39 > 0:15:40
0:15:40 > 0:15:50will get a second goal. Still plenty to head. Hanlon! Unlucky.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55
0:15:55 > 0:16:05Should have got that on target. Side net. This is all,. Onside.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07
0:16:07 > 0:16:13Saved by MacGregor. Chance of the game for Hibernian. He scored
0:16:13 > 0:16:23against St Johnstone midweek. He could not finish it today. Chances
0:16:23 > 0:16:26
0:16:26 > 0:16:36like that don't come along too long in Glasgow for a visiting side. The
0:16:36 > 0:16:45
0:16:45 > 0:16:55flag is up. The assistant referee says it does not count. Papac.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56
0:16:56 > 0:17:03Hibernian are defending well. Gregg Wylde. Good ball in. Lafferty! 1-0
0:17:03 > 0:17:10to Rangers. Moving into the final quarter of the game, nerves have
0:17:10 > 0:17:19settled thanks to Lafferty's second of the season. Terrific ball from
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Graeme wild. -- Greg Wilde. Rangers hoping to move 10 points clear of
0:17:24 > 0:17:33Celtic. Looking for a second goal here that would surely clinch it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:43This is Lafferty. Still plenty options there for him. Davies. Good
0:17:43 > 0:17:44
0:17:44 > 0:17:52save by Stack. We have seen that several times throughout the match
0:17:52 > 0:17:59for Graham Stack who has kept Rangers at bay. Not too clever that
0:17:59 > 0:18:09time from Hibernian. Jelavic did not quite catch the shot as he
0:18:09 > 0:18:11
0:18:11 > 0:18:19would have liked. Still does the one-goal advantage. -- just. Lively
0:18:19 > 0:18:29from Gregg Wylde. Now Davies. Good ball. Jelavic is wanting to cut
0:18:29 > 0:18:35
0:18:35 > 0:18:39ball. Jelavic is wanting to cut Losing 1-0 can probably never be a
0:18:39 > 0:18:44great outcome, but can Hibernian take some encouragement from that?
0:18:44 > 0:18:50Without doubt. You can go to these places and the goalkeeper has to
0:18:50 > 0:18:54play well to start with. In general, the team played fairly well. They
0:18:54 > 0:19:00played with passion and pass the ball a lot. Rangers had some
0:19:00 > 0:19:04chances, but they always will. We were really happy with yesterday.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09You should not be happy getting beat, but this was a good
0:19:09 > 0:19:16progression and the team played well. The goalkeeper has to play
0:19:16 > 0:19:20well and Graham Stack certainly dead. If he does not play well at
0:19:21 > 0:19:26Ibrox, you are in trouble. He did exceptionally well yesterday and
0:19:26 > 0:19:31made some vital stops. Rangers will always have chances the way that
0:19:31 > 0:19:39they play, getting the ball in the box a lot. 0 complaints about the
0:19:39 > 0:19:44penalty? No. I was surprised about Whitaker, though. Complaints about
0:19:44 > 0:19:50the defending? At that period in the game, we were getting deeper
0:19:50 > 0:19:58and deeper. We knew that Gregg Wylde's left the would clots --
0:19:58 > 0:20:02caused us a problem. We were under pressure. No complaints about the
0:20:02 > 0:20:07goal at all for. You have to be pleased about the chances you
0:20:07 > 0:20:17created at the other end. Good chances to score before they did.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22We could have gone 1-0 up. MacGregor had some good saves. It
0:20:22 > 0:20:26was a good header. Maybe we should have scored there. They have had a
0:20:26 > 0:20:31lot of chances as well. I think Junior should have taken that
0:20:31 > 0:20:35earlier than what he did. Decent save by the goalkeeper. At the end
0:20:36 > 0:20:40of the day, Rangers probably deserved to win the game. We were
0:20:40 > 0:20:45not unhappy with the performance. Losing at Ibrox is not a big deal
0:20:45 > 0:20:55unless you are hammered and, but -- confidence is affected. Results
0:20:55 > 0:21:00like the midweek one were probably more significant. You put three
0:21:00 > 0:21:03goals past St Johnstone in their only away defeat this season.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09Ian Johnston are a good team defensively. Hearts could not score
0:21:09 > 0:21:17against them last week. Garry O'Connor can score a good cause.
0:21:17 > 0:21:23Tell me about the dive. I know Derek McInnes was unhappy. He has
0:21:23 > 0:21:28every right to be unhappy. It was a dive. He got a break there. It
0:21:28 > 0:21:32proved to be the winning goal and that made Derek match. I would have
0:21:32 > 0:21:36been the same for all stop there is a lot of talk about whether Garry
0:21:36 > 0:21:42O'Connor should be back in the Scotland squad. Kenny Miller is
0:21:42 > 0:21:47about. Can you understand why Craig Levein has not put him in that
0:21:47 > 0:21:53squad? Certainly. Craig has been in touch and spoken to Gary. He has
0:21:53 > 0:21:56come up here and is doing ever so well. Maybe he should just be left
0:21:56 > 0:22:01at the minute. Whether he has to call him in if there are injuries,
0:22:01 > 0:22:07I think he is there to do that. Let's just let him play, score the
0:22:07 > 0:22:11goals you scoring and get his confidence back. He is doing that.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14As the season goes on, I am sure he will come into contention for the
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Scotland squad. Inverness were bidding to escape
0:22:17 > 0:22:27bottom spot in the SPL. St Mirren were in the Highland capital.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30
0:22:30 > 0:22:37Jonathan Sutherland can tell us was matched only by equally
0:22:38 > 0:22:47atrocious finish as Inverness squandered an early chance to take
0:22:48 > 0:22:48
0:22:48 > 0:22:55the lead. Andrew Shinnie set up Goran Messina. He would get another
0:22:55 > 0:22:59chance here. Faint cries for handball, but nothing doing. Danny
0:22:59 > 0:23:09Lennon hoping for a St Mirren chance to brighten up his rainy day.
0:23:09 > 0:23:09
0:23:09 > 0:23:15Although it came from the head of a defender, St Mirren's first attempt
0:23:15 > 0:23:19on goal was unable to be kept out by the goalkeeper. With just over
0:23:20 > 0:23:29half an hour played, Inverness equalised with a well-worked goal.
0:23:30 > 0:23:30
0:23:30 > 0:23:36Andrew Shinnie finish things off here. -- finished. The former
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Rangers player with his first goal of the campaign and things level.
0:23:40 > 0:23:46It was a man of the match performance from Andrew Shinnie.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52Hitting the post here with the help of a deflection off Lee Mair.
0:23:52 > 0:24:02Andrew Shinnie's shot here went into the net together Inverness the
0:24:02 > 0:24:08
0:24:08 > 0:24:13lead, 2-1. And out of sorts St Mirren did have the ball in the
0:24:14 > 0:24:19back of the net. A fine finish from Paul McGowan was ruled out for
0:24:19 > 0:24:23offside. Danny Lennon later admitted some bearing did not
0:24:23 > 0:24:33deserve a share of the points. Inverness get their second SPL when
0:24:33 > 0:24:41
0:24:41 > 0:24:47I am not sure if he will score more goals. What do you think? He is
0:24:47 > 0:24:52running of the ball and that is great. His finishing leaves a bit
0:24:52 > 0:24:57to be desired. I think the goal that he got was really just his
0:24:57 > 0:25:03distance. It came off his knee. It is all right combinations. If
0:25:03 > 0:25:08somebody beside him complain of his running power, then Terry Butcher
0:25:08 > 0:25:12will be even happier with him. He is doing all right. I think you
0:25:12 > 0:25:15call that a right place, right time. Five I think so.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18It is one thing starting the season strongly. It is another maintaining
0:25:18 > 0:25:28momentum. That is what Motherwell wanted to do at Tannadice yesterday
0:25:28 > 0:25:52
0:25:52 > 0:26:02against Dundee United. Paul options in the box. Lovely cutback.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06
0:26:06 > 0:26:16Flood. Hayden has at chance for a second. The shot goes through the
0:26:16 > 0:26:20
0:26:20 > 0:26:25goalkeeper. Michael Higdon gets gifted this one. Michael Higdon
0:26:25 > 0:26:30still had plenty work to do. The keeper fumbles this threw his arms.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Right on the stroke of half-time, United have a lot better have
0:26:34 > 0:26:41really given Motherwell all the encouragement they needed. That is
0:26:41 > 0:26:51poor for the goalkeeper. United trying to find a way back into this
0:26:51 > 0:26:53
0:26:53 > 0:26:58match. Decent cross from Garry Kenneth. Some shouts for handball.
0:26:58 > 0:27:07The referee is in a good position. Jamie Murphy brings it away from
0:27:07 > 0:27:17Motherwell. Murphy against floods. Great run. The goalkeeper comes out.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19
0:27:19 > 0:27:26He spotted the pass brilliantly. United were appealing for a penalty.
0:27:26 > 0:27:36Motherwell still controlling the match. Gary Kenneth trying to see
0:27:36 > 0:27:38
0:27:38 > 0:27:42the ball out. Penalty. That is an easy call for Steven MacLean. Gary
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Kenneth trying to use his size and strength to keep it away and has
0:27:47 > 0:27:55conceded the spot kick. He had cover behind him. Michael Higdon
0:27:55 > 0:28:01with a chance. An aborted dive by the goalkeeper. He knew he had gone
0:28:01 > 0:28:11the wrong way. Simple penalty from Michael Higdon after 64 minutes.
0:28:11 > 0:28:11
0:28:11 > 0:28:21Motherwell are thrilled. 3-0 lead for Motherwell. How do United's
0:28:21 > 0:28:29respond? Smile on the face of the goalkeeper. I think he has faced
0:28:29 > 0:28:36several of these in training. Stephen two decks and. That could
0:28:36 > 0:28:45come back for Jon Daly. Jon Daly squeezes it in. Bringing Dundee
0:28:45 > 0:28:55United back to life. Dixon always good at these times of runs. Good
0:28:55 > 0:29:08
0:29:08 > 0:29:17finish. With 13 minutes to go, it runs off the face of clany. One or
0:29:17 > 0:29:21two shoots for hand ball. Seemed to two shoots for hand ball. Seemed to
0:29:21 > 0:29:28come off his body. Higdon was getting stick from the Motherwell
0:29:28 > 0:29:34boo brigade, so those goals will do him some good. I think this one was
0:29:34 > 0:29:39gift wrapped from Pernis. Good keeper errors I would say. One with
0:29:39 > 0:29:45the boot and one with the hand. Higdon he is a regular for a team
0:29:45 > 0:29:50that is third in the league and the Motherwell supporters will be a bit
0:29:50 > 0:29:55harsh on him. They will be harsh on you if you call them third in the
0:29:55 > 0:29:59league. They're second at the moment? He did that regularly for
0:29:59 > 0:30:06St Mirren and maybe with more confidence he will weigh in with
0:30:06 > 0:30:11the goals? We watched him a few times, we were going to go for him
0:30:12 > 0:30:17or John Sutton. But we picked Sutton. He is a big strong striker,
0:30:17 > 0:30:23he is difficult to mark and he is scoring. I'm sure Stuart's very
0:30:23 > 0:30:26happy with him. Ten games, 19 points, Motherwell and your next
0:30:26 > 0:30:30opponents after the international break. Yes we played them the other
0:30:30 > 0:30:36week in the League Cup at Fir Park and it was an exciting game. It
0:30:36 > 0:30:41could have been a game that ended in 6-6. I don't think defences were
0:30:41 > 0:30:46on top. When you look at a lot of games this season, there have been
0:30:46 > 0:30:50chances missed and you know we got through that night. And it gave us
0:30:50 > 0:30:54confidence. And obviously they're playing well and I have seen them a
0:30:54 > 0:31:00few times, they're a good side. So we will have to continue our
0:31:00 > 0:31:05progress. Peter Houston said they didn't deserve anything from the
0:31:05 > 0:31:10game. But they should have had a penalty. It was a ppblty, when you
0:31:10 > 0:31:17consider the penalty St Mirren got against Kilmarnock last week and
0:31:17 > 0:31:22they're denied that. Peter likes a pie or three after the game, but
0:31:22 > 0:31:28that would have dented his appetite. At Rugby Park the meeting 06
0:31:28 > 0:31:38Kilmarnock and St Johnston who have had most of their success on the
0:31:38 > 0:32:05
0:32:05 > 0:32:10had most of their success on the Stephen aner e Der son was
0:32:10 > 0:32:18Pennellised -- Anderson was penalised for holding back the
0:32:18 > 0:32:24player. This could be an opportunity. It is knocked behind.
0:32:24 > 0:32:34Dave Mackay has taken a sore one in the process. Shiels didn't look
0:32:34 > 0:32:41favourite to get there, but he did and forced the save from Enckelman.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Pace from Sheridan and a good shot. A fine save and a block from
0:32:45 > 0:32:55Craig's effort. That was confident play from Sheridan. Almost the
0:32:55 > 0:33:02
0:33:02 > 0:33:10and it has gone St Johnston's way. A fine finish from a man in form.
0:33:10 > 0:33:20Just poked through by Robertson and slotted beyond Bell. Pascali just
0:33:20 > 0:33:23
0:33:24 > 0:33:29committed himself and exposed the needed to be on the line. Or else
0:33:29 > 0:33:39they may have had an equaliser. Enckelman not covering himself in
0:33:39 > 0:33:40
0:33:40 > 0:33:46glory there. Kilmarnock stepping up the search for an equaliser. What a
0:33:46 > 0:33:55tkperoshes effort that was. -- ferocious effort that was. This one
0:33:55 > 0:34:04didn't look on, but Enckelman wasn't getting there. Kilmarnock
0:34:04 > 0:34:13looking far more positive now. Heifer Nan deflected wide. --
0:34:13 > 0:34:23Heffernan deflected wide. Purposeful play by the striker. St
0:34:23 > 0:34:28
0:34:28 > 0:34:36Johnstone have barely been in it wrists there by the keeper. Once
0:34:36 > 0:34:42again Heffernan denied. It loops over the defender and away and
0:34:42 > 0:34:47Kilmarnock do have the equaliser. Pascali claims it. I think this
0:34:47 > 0:34:53will go down as an own goal off Steven Anderson. Nothing Craig
0:34:54 > 0:35:00could do about it on the line. Enckelman too stranded. That is an
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Anderson own goal. Heffernan is a thorn in the side of the St
0:35:05 > 0:35:14Johnstone side. He may have been better taking that first time on
0:35:15 > 0:35:18
0:35:18 > 0:35:25his left. Enckelman saved well. Kilmarnock picking up where they
0:35:26 > 0:35:35left off at the end of the first half. There is Fowler. He may feel
0:35:36 > 0:35:36
0:35:36 > 0:35:42he should have lit the target. It was a great block from Davidson.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47Neatly by the Kilmarnock front men. Enckelman again equal to it. He has
0:35:47 > 0:35:57got eight for the season Heffernan. What does he have to do to make it
0:35:57 > 0:36:08
0:36:09 > 0:36:14from Bell. Poor marking, good header. Enckelman taking no chances.
0:36:14 > 0:36:21Sissoko takes one and he lets St Johnstone in. Sheridan, can he
0:36:21 > 0:36:30score? He can and St Johnstone back in front. And Sheridan makes it
0:36:30 > 0:36:40four goals in three games. A cool finish after Sissoko's error. And
0:36:40 > 0:36:48
0:36:48 > 0:36:53the Saints lead at Rugby Park. save by Cammy Bell. Almost his
0:36:53 > 0:36:59save by Cammy Bell. Almost his second of the afternoon. BT A lot
0:36:59 > 0:37:03has been made of the SAS partnership and they do link well
0:37:03 > 0:37:08together. I think Derek has been looking for a partnership for a
0:37:08 > 0:37:14while and I have seen them twice in the last week and they have been a
0:37:14 > 0:37:19handful both times. Good movement, both strong. Both got good skill
0:37:19 > 0:37:24and scoring goals. Appreciated by the management. The connection
0:37:24 > 0:37:30between two goals were they were both from defensive errors, but the
0:37:30 > 0:37:36finishing was clinical. It I like Gary Connor's finish against Dundee
0:37:36 > 0:37:42United on his left from a bad angle. But he has done well there. He got
0:37:42 > 0:37:48the goal against Heart and he is in good form. It is four in three for
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Sheridan and those are good raish owes. When you have a good
0:37:51 > 0:37:57partnership, while one is occupying the defence, the other is stealing
0:37:57 > 0:38:02in to score. Yes it works. At the end of the season, St Johnstone
0:38:03 > 0:38:07were struggling to score. Against us the other night they could have
0:38:07 > 0:38:12scored another two or Three goals and so could we. But they're
0:38:12 > 0:38:17dangerous and lively. There demois panic listen they get into a
0:38:17 > 0:38:22scoring -- tr is -- there is no panic when they get into a scoring
0:38:22 > 0:38:28position. Ian Murray was there and I don't think he would be happy
0:38:28 > 0:38:34with that. Nor with that. A dodgy bit of facial hair. That is why the
0:38:34 > 0:38:38centre halfs are keeping away from him. St Johnstone happy with a
0:38:38 > 0:38:43share of fourth. 11 of their points have come on the road. Yes I think
0:38:43 > 0:38:47on Wednesday it was the first goal they had lost away from home at
0:38:47 > 0:38:53Easter Road. They're a good side and play good football. I have
0:38:53 > 0:38:57watched them two or three times and they're a hard team to may against.
0:38:57 > 0:39:03They're going to do well this season. I think we can assume
0:39:03 > 0:39:08Aberdeen are fans of Friday night football after what happened
0:39:08 > 0:39:14football after what happened against Dunfermline at Pittodrie.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19And so the Friday Night Project begins and there will be plenty of
0:39:19 > 0:39:24applause from the crowd at Pittodrie. Vernon putting the home
0:39:24 > 0:39:30side ahead in the sixth minute. Foster with the cross, poor
0:39:30 > 0:39:37defending and Vernon's header too strong for Paul Gallagher. It was
0:39:37 > 0:39:46one way red coloured traffic and Dunfermline had a header wide. But
0:39:46 > 0:39:54Foster would terrorise the Pars all night. So would Vernon. All
0:39:54 > 0:40:01Gallacher keeping Aberdeen out. A long throw was partially repelled,
0:40:01 > 0:40:06but his follow up cross found Vernon with the final touch,
0:40:06 > 0:40:13probably from an offside position. But it stood and Aberdeen 2-0 in
0:40:14 > 0:40:19front. Foster and Vernon combined to set up Fraser Fyvie for his
0:40:19 > 0:40:28first goal since returning from injury. Aberdeen 3-0 up on the
0:40:28 > 0:40:35stroke of half time. Friday night football not doing down so well for
0:40:35 > 0:40:44Jim McIntyre. In the second half the one way traffic continued.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49Arnson hit the post. And Fallon should have scored. A John porter
0:40:49 > 0:40:54mistake then let in Vernon for his hat trickment but Gallagher
0:40:54 > 0:40:59produced a fine save. And then there was ver none to claim his hat
0:40:59 > 0:41:04trick. Give whran the season has served up -- given what the serve
0:41:04 > 0:41:10has serve up so far, a remarkable has serve up so far, a remarkable
0:41:10 > 0:41:16four nil victory. Are you a fine fan of Friday night football, or
0:41:16 > 0:41:19will it interfere with your drink. Well if it gets a crowd in, it is
0:41:19 > 0:41:24worth trying. I don't know if Dunfermline will vote for it. We
0:41:24 > 0:41:31proposed it at Kilmarnock, but I don't think the police were happy
0:41:31 > 0:41:35about it. I don't know if Friday night rates come in for over time.
0:41:35 > 0:41:41Anything is worth trying. If we can improve the number that come to the
0:41:41 > 0:41:47games. I think we should have a go. Myself, you're right, that is my
0:41:47 > 0:41:51only night out. Aberdeen are behind it, that was an important win you
0:41:51 > 0:41:56would imagine. And for Scott Vernon who has scored for them last season
0:41:56 > 0:42:00with Maguire as a partner. And this is what he does so well. I think if
0:42:00 > 0:42:06you play him up front on his own, it doesn't suit him. He is not the
0:42:06 > 0:42:13quickest F you get the ball in the box and get it in the air, he will
0:42:13 > 0:42:19attack them. And he is dangerous. You know, I think he needs a
0:42:19 > 0:42:24partner beside him. So threfr signed Fallon and we have been
0:42:24 > 0:42:28talking about partnerships, maybe that is giving him more freedom.
0:42:28 > 0:42:36Yes I lope they don't click too well. They're in the same position
0:42:36 > 0:42:40as us in the league. Not wishing anything afternoony and Craig, I
0:42:40 > 0:42:47hope they're not as good. reality dawning for Dunfermline?
0:42:47 > 0:42:51They are a point off the boot Tom - ebottom. It will be tough. But
0:42:52 > 0:42:55maybe it will be tight as well? whole league is tight. There is not
0:42:56 > 0:42:59lot between the teams. They have lost eight goals in two games. I
0:42:59 > 0:43:04think that, I was talking to Jim today and they could have lost more
0:43:04 > 0:43:09goals on Friday. I think their keeper had four saifrs. So I mean
0:43:09 > 0:43:12it was always going to be tough. You come up a league and you don't
0:43:12 > 0:43:22sail into it. But they have got a lot of lad there is a will fight
0:43:22 > 0:43:52
0:43:52 > 0:43:57for them. I think they will do OK. You can see SPL highlights online
0:43:57 > 0:44:01any time on our web-site. You can watch this show again on the
