0:01:03 > 0:01:07St Johnstone lost 4-0 to Celtic earlier. Tomorrow, Hearts against
0:01:07 > 0:01:16Kilmarnock at Murrayfield. In the Championship, Brechin City and
0:01:16 > 0:01:26Dumbarton is 0-0.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32To McDiarmid Park, where Celtic were hoping to break their 100-year-old
0:01:32 > 0:01:38British record for the most domestic matches unbeaten. They were 62 not
0:01:38 > 0:01:45out before facing St Johnstone, so what happened?
0:01:45 > 0:01:49This victory was the embodiment of Celtic under Brendan Rodgers,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52clinical and dominant performance. Another Scottish opponent put to bed
0:01:52 > 0:01:56in spectacular fashion. Sinclair gave them the lead in the first
0:01:56 > 0:02:00half, and they didn't look back. Armstrong teed up Dembele for the
0:02:00 > 0:02:06second before the interval. The pick of the bunch was number four, this
0:02:06 > 0:02:11century-old record was smashed at the venue of their last defeat. 63
0:02:11 > 0:02:15stick games unbeaten is quite an achievement, as the British
0:02:15 > 0:02:23benchmark was eclipsed. A 51st league game unbeaten,
0:02:23 > 0:02:29league game unbeaten, Rodgers's side have scored 54 goals. The recordss
0:02:29 > 0:02:33keep on coming. Thick. The Saints, five defeat in six without scoring a
0:02:33 > 0:02:38goal. Much to ponder as the champions wallow in yet another
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Rodgers record.We will hear from our experts shortly, but let's hear
0:02:43 > 0:02:47from the managers. Brendan Rodgers delighted to break that century-old
0:02:47 > 0:02:54British record.You look back to the team that will you marry had. I had
0:02:54 > 0:03:01grown up and been aware of players from that era. That tells you the
0:03:01 > 0:03:06level of the team, the quality of that team. To break that record,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10that was the point I said to the players before the game, we want
0:03:10 > 0:03:15three points, but it is also, we have equalled our record that
0:03:15 > 0:03:18another team has set, and it is important for our ambition that we
0:03:18 > 0:03:22can get out on our own. The only way to do that is to win today, and we
0:03:22 > 0:03:26want nothing more than a win. It means everything. It's an incredible
0:03:26 > 0:03:30feat by the players. I have got to be disappointed,
0:03:30 > 0:03:37conceding from a corner. We wanted to keep it 0-0 for as long as
0:03:37 > 0:03:41possible, and I thought we weathered the early storm. The first two
0:03:41 > 0:03:47goals, we got caught, and probably the second goal, we shouldn't go
0:03:47 > 0:03:53tight when it is a two against one situation in the area. They have
0:03:53 > 0:03:56better players, and they are better all over the park, and icon to be
0:03:56 > 0:04:01too critical of my players. For a manager, they worked hard and gave
0:04:01 > 0:04:07me everything. Celtic record breakers. Brendan
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Rodgers describing it
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Celtic record breakers. Brendan Rodgers describing it as a great
0:04:10 > 0:04:16feat.Phenomenal, do have that level of consistency, to keep the standard
0:04:16 > 0:04:19high, that is the most impressive thing for me, to keep the levels
0:04:19 > 0:04:25high. It was for such a long time. Phenomenal. I saw the team he
0:04:25 > 0:04:31picked, he picked a shoreside to win the game.Should our Bucharest, 104
0:04:31 > 0:04:34games is the world record.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38That
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Link and read in school 88 games unbeaten.Unrivalled knowledge at!
0:04:50 > 0:04:57Stuart, remarkable, but a redneck for the rest of Scottish football.I
0:04:57 > 0:05:02don't know about that. In order to assess how good an achievement this
0:05:02 > 0:05:06is, and I agree with Steven, it is the nominal, none of us have any
0:05:06 > 0:05:11real insight into how good the Celtic team that set the record had
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Dean, because it was an era before media and televised football. We can
0:05:15 > 0:05:21only guess they were a decent team. Even Brendan Rodgers, who is a
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Celtic fan, knew very little about the team, and knew them by
0:05:24 > 0:05:27reputation. Measuring it by those criteria, they have done something
0:05:27 > 0:05:31that no one else has achieved in Britain, and that has to be good for
0:05:31 > 0:05:38Scottish football, and good for Celtic.Will Brendan Rodgers set his
0:05:38 > 0:05:44sights on the Bucharest record?What a great goal, the first goal, 18
0:05:44 > 0:05:51goal.They didn't look as if they were in top gear today, all were
0:05:51 > 0:06:00vague?Come on! They broke the record.The first half was a bit
0:06:00 > 0:06:08stuffy, but no supplies that St Johnstone didn't score.This is
0:06:08 > 0:06:10relentless, brutal... are you allowed to intimate and bully
0:06:10 > 0:06:18people...Sam Johnstone, it has not been the best spell for them Cash St
0:06:18 > 0:06:25Johnstone.I think we set that bad record of six games defeated way
0:06:25 > 0:06:30back in 2011, and obviously, this is asked equalling our own bad record,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34but that being said, where the problem has been is that there is
0:06:34 > 0:06:39not a goal in the team just now. I have watch St Johnstone home and
0:06:39 > 0:06:43away over the last few weeks, it is pretty depressing. There isn't an
0:06:43 > 0:06:49awful lot going on there at all. A lot of things have happened to the
0:06:49 > 0:06:55club, firstly, Steven MacLean, one of our great players, historically.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00Maybe he is ageing, he is less, kind of, alert than he has been before,
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Graham Cummins, our striker, hasn't scored at all significantly this
0:07:05 > 0:07:13season. O'Halloran is the top scorer, but he is going into a
0:07:13 > 0:07:17period of poor form just now. He is a midfielder or wing are more than a
0:07:17 > 0:07:22central striker. We have struggled. Usually, St Johnstone's midfield,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26whether that is Davidson, whether it is Liam Craig, or David Wotherspoon,
0:07:26 > 0:07:32they are good for four or five goals, but none are scoring. If your
0:07:32 > 0:07:35midfield are not scoring, or your strikers, you won't score a lot.
0:07:35 > 0:07:43First for a bounce around the grounds. I will tell you what is
0:07:43 > 0:07:48happening in Rangers against Partick this or at Ibrox. Rangers were
0:07:48 > 0:07:55cruising to victory, 3-0 up against Partick Thistle. Graeme Murty's
0:07:55 > 0:07:57second as interim manager. McCrorie getting the scoring up and running
0:07:57 > 0:08:04today. Candeias getting the second, Windass putting Rangers 3-0 up a
0:08:04 > 0:08:08couple of minutes into the second half. Let's hear from Jonathan
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Sutherland, he is watching Hamilton against second placed Aberdeen, New
0:08:11 > 0:08:21Douglas Park, it is definitely Jonathan Sutherland.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Jonathan Sutherland.1-1, but Hamilton could be 3-0 up. They took
0:08:23 > 0:08:31a lead through Dougie Imrie, a free kick, left foot, flashing past Lewis
0:08:31 > 0:08:35in the Aberdeen. Hamilton going close here in... What a great chance
0:08:35 > 0:08:37for Darren Lion, he rounded Joe Lewis, but fires into the side
0:08:37 > 0:08:44netting. Aberdeen have had the better of it, but Hamilton could be
0:08:44 > 0:08:503-0 up after the Dougie Imrie goal. Two great chances, the first was a
0:08:50 > 0:08:54lobbed effort, which Joe Lewis saved. The second was even better, a
0:08:54 > 0:08:57quest from Greg Docherty, Templeton decided to volley it first time,
0:08:57 > 0:09:02when he could have taken a touch, that blazed it wide. Hamilton
0:09:02 > 0:09:05regretted that almost immediately as Ryan Christie played through Greg
0:09:05 > 0:09:13Stewart, who over the keeper to make it 1-1. Entertaining stuff at the
0:09:13 > 0:09:17super Seal Stadium, New Douglas Park, if you prefer, Hamilton 1-1
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Aberdeen. Glancing out of the corner of my eye
0:09:22 > 0:09:26on that, my impression is Hamilton were unfortunate not to be ahead.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32They have missed the few big opportunities.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35opportunities. Templeton especially has missed three massive chances.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The goal they scored was a good free kick from Dougie Imrie, but there
0:09:39 > 0:09:43could have been a foul in the wall. Who is the new striker they have
0:09:43 > 0:09:52signed? Nudging into the side of the war, it might have been a foul, but
0:09:52 > 0:09:57it was a good free kick. Shinnie was good for Aberdeen's goal, but it has
0:09:57 > 0:10:01been a good game to watch.Time to hear from Jane Lewis, she is
0:10:01 > 0:10:07watching Ross County against Motherwell. Good afternoon Ross
0:10:07 > 0:10:13County 3-1 Motherwell.Ross County haven't exactly been all over
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Motherwell in the first half, but they have put away their chances.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21They have been clinical, they welcome back their captain for this
0:10:21 > 0:10:25one. He played a pass for the opening goal, Michael Gardyne made
0:10:25 > 0:10:29it 1-0 after 12 minutes. Motherwell were trying to get back into the
0:10:29 > 0:10:34match, Peter Hartley's header from a free kick clipped the bar, Alan
0:10:34 > 0:10:41McCrary was kept busy in goal. Ross County added to their tally. A lot
0:10:41 > 0:10:49has been talked about Keeler done, he made it 2-0 before half-time. The
0:10:49 > 0:10:53rebound fell to guard dying, who grabbed his second of the afternoon.
0:10:53 > 0:10:59Motherwell made changes, and the half-time team talk would have been
0:10:59 > 0:11:06a roasting, two changes, Eliot Freedman Ryan Bowman came on, and
0:11:06 > 0:11:11what a difference they make. Eliot Freedman setup bowman, who headed
0:11:11 > 0:11:14in, putting Motherwell back in the game. Still a mountain to climb,
0:11:14 > 0:11:19they still trail 3-1, so are they back in or will Ross County hold on?
0:11:19 > 0:11:26That is the question. Are Motherwell back in?
0:11:26 > 0:11:31They were excellent in the opening period, Michael Gardyne was
0:11:31 > 0:11:35unplayable.Bowman coming off the bench has got them back in the game.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38I think Ross County will score again. They have been so much on
0:11:38 > 0:11:42top.Plenty of entertainment for the home fans, that is where they had
0:11:42 > 0:11:46been struggling.He will be delighted with the way they have
0:11:46 > 0:11:48played today, they have been excellent. It should have been five
0:11:48 > 0:11:56or six.There has been another goal at Easter Road 's. John Barnes.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Hibernian are now 2-1 in front. That goal coming in the 63rd minute.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Simon Murray with his 13th of the season, unlucky for Dundee, who came
0:12:06 > 0:12:12back into this game. They lost a goal after 63 seconds. Martin Boyle
0:12:12 > 0:12:18scoring when he picked up the ball, just ten yards inside his own half,
0:12:18 > 0:12:22mazy run, feeble challenges from the opposition, firing low into the
0:12:22 > 0:12:28bottom right-hand corner of the net, not the start Dundee wanted with
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Elliot Parish between the sticks, the former Aston Villa trainee,
0:12:32 > 0:12:40taking the plays of Scott Bain, a decision Neal McCann, he would not
0:12:40 > 0:12:44discuss it. Apparently, he would not pay a fine after a bust up with his
0:12:44 > 0:12:47manager after the match with Hamilton last week. Dundee was
0:12:47 > 0:12:52bonded to going behind early, because they got back on level
0:12:52 > 0:12:56terms, Marcus Haber in the two 81st minute with a fine header after a
0:12:56 > 0:13:01good cross from the right-hand side by Roarie Deacon. Early in the
0:13:01 > 0:13:07second half, a terrific save by Marciano kept out El Bakhtaoui. A
0:13:07 > 0:13:11skirmish in the middle of the park, a couple of bookings, Anthony Stokes
0:13:11 > 0:13:14was booked, Ryan Porteous was booked, both those players started
0:13:14 > 0:13:20on the bench. There was a challenge in the middle of the park in the
0:13:20 > 0:13:25second period, and they got a yellow card. A few seconds ago, Simon
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Murray popping up, lovely ball in from Stokes on the left, Murray was
0:13:29 > 0:13:33there to volley it into the bottom right-hand corner of the net. Hibs
0:13:33 > 0:13:402-1 up against Dundee. A star performer dropped because of
0:13:40 > 0:13:44dressing room disco, not what you want when you are bottom of the
0:13:44 > 0:13:49table.Certainly not. There are issues there. One of the issues I
0:13:49 > 0:13:53feel about that, and I have never been a professional footballer, and
0:13:53 > 0:13:57the guys know more about this than me, I don't like the idea of someone
0:13:57 > 0:14:02being fined two weeks wages. I don't mind a system of discipline, or what
0:14:02 > 0:14:07ever. It seems to be the wrong way to go around punishing someone for a
0:14:07 > 0:14:12perceived misdemeanour.Can you do that in this day and age?Yeah, you
0:14:12 > 0:14:16can. Football is a law unto itself, and you can find them two weeks
0:14:16 > 0:14:20wages, Scott Bain is appealing it, and that story has a long way to go.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24We have a long way to go as well, we will break up the Premiership action
0:14:24 > 0:14:28by heading to the Championship, Dundee United at home to St Mirren
0:14:28 > 0:14:32this afternoon. Jim Spence is on tenterhooks at Tannadice to tell us
0:14:32 > 0:14:36what is happening. It is tenterhooks, the game is
0:14:36 > 0:14:43raging from end-to-end. St Mirren trailing 1-0. A free kick into the
0:14:43 > 0:14:48box from Fraser, Craig Samson seem to be amused. It was running wide of
0:14:48 > 0:14:53his right-hand post, but the ball nestled inside the post. That is how
0:14:53 > 0:14:58it stands at the moment. Dundee have dominated the last 10-15 minutes of
0:14:58 > 0:15:03the first half, 7-1 up in corners, but no group to goal. No clear-cut
0:15:03 > 0:15:09chances.
0:15:09 > 0:15:16Brian is watching the Falkirk versus Dunfermline.Yes, it's an absolute
0:15:16 > 0:15:21cracker as well. Falkirk one, Dunfermline one. A brilliant match
0:15:21 > 0:15:25in front of a crowd of around 6000, including 1500 fans who have made
0:15:25 > 0:15:32their way across the river to the Falkirk Stadium. The visitors are in
0:15:32 > 0:15:38front after just 28 minutes. Coming from the penalty spot, Kallum
0:15:38 > 0:15:46Higginbotham. He received a yellow card from referee Craig Thompson
0:15:46 > 0:15:52after he clipped his heels of the Falkirk defender John Magee. He was
0:15:52 > 0:15:58very lucky not to be shown a red card in the first half. Into the
0:15:58 > 0:16:02second half, Falkirk were much more dominant and they still are. They
0:16:02 > 0:16:05were given a lifeline when Higginbotham received his second
0:16:05 > 0:16:09yellow card of the afternoon. Dunfermline were then down to ten
0:16:09 > 0:16:14men. The equaliser came from Jordan Magee, a magnificent free kick from
0:16:14 > 0:16:2122 yards, took one bounce and ended up in the back of the net. It is a
0:16:21 > 0:16:27cracker here at the Falkirk Stadium. We have played 65 minutes.Off we go
0:16:27 > 0:16:36to Livingston now. Kenny Crawford is at the stadium.70 minutes gone and
0:16:36 > 0:16:41it is 0-0. The two conclusions I have drawn is that this is not a
0:16:41 > 0:16:45classic and that I should have brought a hat, because it is
0:16:45 > 0:16:55absolutely bolting it down. But I do have the long johns on.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57have the long johns on. A win to Livingston would mean they go first
0:16:57 > 0:17:05in the league, but they don't look 18 worthy to be there at the moment.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09They only had one chance in the first half which went wide of the
0:17:09 > 0:17:27post. At the moment, the two teams are cancelling each other out.
0:17:27 > 0:17:35are cancelling each other out.Two of your former teams, Stephen.
0:17:35 > 0:17:41of your former teams, Stephen. Did you want to commentate? You made a
0:17:41 > 0:17:47mess last time you tried it. I think I know where your allegiances lie,
0:17:47 > 0:17:54but it is tight.It is tight at the top. St Mirren's form has been poor
0:17:54 > 0:17:58recently. They drew the last two games and today they are struggling
0:17:58 > 0:18:02in Dundee. You would expect Dundee United to be challenging. Livingston
0:18:02 > 0:18:09have been the surprise package for me. You said four different teams
0:18:09 > 0:18:16could be top of the league.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17could be top of the league.One of the other things, I have always
0:18:17 > 0:18:25called it Alcatraz about that division. Season after season, it
0:18:25 > 0:18:29breeds intense and sometimes inexplicable rivalries that only the
0:18:29 > 0:18:32fans fully understand. The media are absolutely focused on the top
0:18:32 > 0:18:36league, so you don't understand why people dislike each other as badly
0:18:36 > 0:18:48as they do. It is a fantastic league football.But hold on.
0:18:48 > 0:18:55football.But hold on. 6500, Brian was saying, were attending.I know
0:18:55 > 0:19:03Paul has been struggling. Ellis put his name in the ring for the Dundee
0:19:03 > 0:19:08United job.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13United job. This could be another great result for him.The only team
0:19:13 > 0:19:20without a win in that division is wrecking city.
0:19:20 > 0:19:26wrecking city. -- Wrekin City. Obviously, they are largely a
0:19:26 > 0:19:28part-time club with limited budgets, even by comparison with some of the
0:19:28 > 0:19:33teams we have been talking about like Dunfermline and Falkirk.They
0:19:33 > 0:19:37have a much smaller fan base to draw on, so it is not surprising that
0:19:37 > 0:19:41they are bottom of the league. But I would not rule out a loss teams
0:19:41 > 0:19:47here. Inverness and Falkirk started the season poorly. It would be a mug
0:19:47 > 0:19:55that would rule either of them out at this stage.Goal, Aberdeen.That
0:19:55 > 0:20:00is why we pay you the big bucks. What happened?It looked like poor
0:20:00 > 0:20:09defending.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13defending. Somebody asked to describe it better than me.His name
0:20:13 > 0:20:17is John Sutherland. What actually happened?It was no challenge at
0:20:17 > 0:20:23all. A fantastic attempt from Stephen Thompson and an even better
0:20:23 > 0:20:28attempt from Arneson. Fantastic header from the Icelandic
0:20:28 > 0:20:34international. He has given Aberdeen the lead in this match. Hamilton
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Accies will be kicking themselves. They had chances in this match to
0:20:37 > 0:20:43take the lead against Aberdeen. They haven't taken them. Martin Canning
0:20:43 > 0:20:48will be furious about that. But great character shown by Aberdeen.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Stuart was accusing us of being cruel earlier when talking about St
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Johnstone, so I am going to give him a treat and squeeze in some English
0:20:55 > 0:20:59football by finding out how today's lunchtime match in the English
0:20:59 > 0:21:03Premier League went, Stoke at home to 11th place Leicester City. It was
0:21:03 > 0:21:08watched for us by John Murray.It was good and entertaining. Leicester
0:21:08 > 0:21:13twice in front, Stoke twice drawing level and Zouma nearly won it for
0:21:13 > 0:21:18them with a header that Schmeichel saved at the end of the match. There
0:21:18 > 0:21:25was a fine save from Butland, but Shaqiri levelled before the break.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30Mahrez edged Leicester back in front. But the evergreen Peter
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Crouch, 36 years old, arrived at a substitute to equalise with a very
0:21:34 > 0:21:39good header from a corner. And so for a third season in a row, Stoke
0:21:39 > 0:21:45City versus Leicester City finished 2-2.Stephen Thompson, striker
0:21:45 > 0:21:51extraordinaire, how old are you?39. Three years older than Peter Crouch,
0:21:51 > 0:21:59and he is still doing it. He said he has not retired from international
0:21:59 > 0:22:04football, but I think England have a lot of irons in the fire.He has had
0:22:04 > 0:22:15a fantastic career. He always scores goals.
0:22:15 > 0:22:21goals.You were eulogising English football.Goal for Hamilton! It was
0:22:21 > 0:22:31a good goal this time. That was better commentary.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34better commentary.Jonathan, Hamilton versus Aberdeen?That was
0:22:34 > 0:22:37good from Stephen Thompson, actually. Templeton squandered
0:22:37 > 0:22:41chances in this match. Hamilton Accies could have been 3-0 up if he
0:22:41 > 0:22:46had taken two of his chances in the first half, but he has made amends
0:22:46 > 0:22:50to some degree here at the SuperSeal Stadium. Aberdeen had just taken the
0:22:50 > 0:22:56lead, but Templeton has made it 2-2. It is game on here and it is
0:22:56 > 0:23:03fantastically entertaining stuff.He is a terrible reporter. Commit to a
0:23:03 > 0:23:09screen, it was 21-2! Do not adjust your sets, it is 2-2.If you saw
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Martin Canning's reaction to that goal going in, I have never seen a
0:23:14 > 0:23:17manager celebrating with such relief.He is probably feeling
0:23:17 > 0:23:24pressure.Let's head up north again, Ross County and Motherwell.No more
0:23:24 > 0:23:31goals to speak of. Ross County still lead 3-1. Motherwell have made two
0:23:31 > 0:23:35changes which we talked about, with Elliott Frear and Ryan Bowman coming
0:23:35 > 0:23:45on. Bowman scored with the early second half shot. The game has died
0:23:45 > 0:23:49down a bit. Ross County are in no hurry to see this one out. They are
0:23:49 > 0:23:55happy to hold onto that lead. If anything, Motherwell are pressing
0:23:55 > 0:23:59forward and creating more chances. As yet, those chances have come to
0:23:59 > 0:24:08nothing.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13nothing. As I say that, someone was making a run, but the danger was
0:24:13 > 0:24:23snuffed out.Still 2-1 at Easter Road, Hibs and Dundee.Hibs are on
0:24:23 > 0:24:34top at the moment.
0:24:39 > 0:24:46It has changed to a back three in the second half. He has altered it
0:24:46 > 0:24:54in the middle of the park as well. And they got their reward with that
0:24:54 > 0:25:04goal from Simon Murray.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07goal from Simon Murray. We have played 76 minutes here.Plenty more
0:25:07 > 0:25:11to come from our reporters, but now we will take a wee break and took
0:25:11 > 0:25:14about the international football. There is no results show next week
0:25:14 > 0:25:20because of that international break. The Scots have a friendly against
0:25:20 > 0:25:24another team that Celtic will fight, the Netherlands, at Pittodrie,
0:25:24 > 0:25:29through the week. The SFA's performance director is in charge as
0:25:29 > 0:25:32interim manager, taking over from Gordon Strachan. I spoke to
0:25:32 > 0:25:38yesterday and asked if he wanted the job on a permanent basis.If a
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Scottish manager is asked to be the manager for their country, there are
0:25:41 > 0:25:49few that would say no. But I have an important job at the moment. But for
0:25:49 > 0:25:53the next month, I am delighted to be involved.So it is not at the back
0:25:53 > 0:25:58of your mind, thinking, this could be my audition for the manager's
0:25:58 > 0:26:03job?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07job?No, honestly. Right now, it is about preparing the group for next
0:26:07 > 0:26:11weekend. There is a short period of time between Gordon leaving and this
0:26:11 > 0:26:17game happening. So that has been my full focus for the last couple of
0:26:17 > 0:26:25weeks.Dundee United are 2-0 up now. Alan, that was not a no. Does that
0:26:25 > 0:26:37mean it is a yes?I think if he was offered it, he would take it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39offered it, he would take it. If he walks away, it then brands it
0:26:39 > 0:26:46worthless in my opinion.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50worthless in my opinion.And the target for project brave is the
0:26:50 > 0:26:58start of next season.But the real project is to deliver, not just get
0:26:58 > 0:27:01it up and running. We want to see the next generation of Scottish
0:27:01 > 0:27:10talent coming through into the full international team. Often, people
0:27:10 > 0:27:15get confused. In this case, I am not even sure that the -- SFA should
0:27:15 > 0:27:20offer him the job. If they do, it means they are not sure what they
0:27:20 > 0:27:24were doing in the first place. That is something the SFA do regularly.
0:27:24 > 0:27:31We have had another goal.Yes, a goal at Dingwall. Let's find out
0:27:31 > 0:27:46about it from Jane.I wonder if it is game on. It was a delicious goal.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47is game on. It was a delicious goal. Moments before that, Ross County had
0:27:47 > 0:27:51a couple of fine efforts, but Motherwell have been the better of
0:27:51 > 0:27:55the sides in the second half and Louis Moult grabbed his second of
0:27:55 > 0:28:00the afternoon.
0:28:00 > 0:28:11the afternoon.If Louis Moult was Scottish, would he be in the squad?
0:28:11 > 0:28:18Scottish, would he be in the squad? Yeah gentleman,
0:28:18 > 0:28:24Yeah gentleman, we only have two strikers left.Christie, is he a
0:28:24 > 0:28:36striker?No.
0:28:45 > 0:28:53I think Robertson will play left-back.
0:28:53 > 0:28:59left-back.Or Robertson could be the wingback. Plenty of fresh blood.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04Shinnie is unlucky that he is playing left-back.He can play
0:29:04 > 0:29:13midfield he can.Ryan Christie has been arguably the best player. He
0:29:13 > 0:29:22has been brilliant.Is the talent being recognised, or is there an
0:29:22 > 0:29:26element of cynicism about it because tickets have to be sold? They
0:29:26 > 0:29:30deserved to be in the squad this week, but not last week.They have
0:29:30 > 0:29:37deserved to be in the squad for a long time.If Malky Mackay were to
0:29:37 > 0:29:44be interested in the job, if he making a statement by saying, I am
0:29:44 > 0:29:48bringing in fresh blood, this is the future?That is the way it has to
0:29:48 > 0:29:53go. We can all sit here and pontificate.But he ultimately has
0:29:53 > 0:30:01to decide who comes in and who doesn't. McGregor was not involved
0:30:01 > 0:30:09in the last campaign until the end, which was shocking.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13which was shocking.I feel that is the right thing to do as I football
0:30:13 > 0:30:18nation, to look at the best talent that has come through in what is
0:30:18 > 0:30:20still a relatively competitive league, albeit Celtic are the
0:30:20 > 0:30:27dominant team. The spine of the Celtic team are in there and good
0:30:27 > 0:30:30players have come through from Aberdeen as well. I think it is a
0:30:30 > 0:30:34good thing that he has done that, but we need someone who will be
0:30:34 > 0:30:42there for the long haul and sort out the performance manager thing.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Malky Mackay has added a bit on, if he walks out, it will be someone
0:30:46 > 0:30:53else, turning into a farce, for me. Me, too.The game against the
0:30:53 > 0:30:59Netherlands, a top team that didn't make it to the World Cup.Much like
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Scotland, this will be Dick Advocaat's last game, and they are
0:31:03 > 0:31:09looking for a manager. They have been underperforming for years. It
0:31:09 > 0:31:14will give an opportunity to look at players like Christie, like
0:31:14 > 0:31:18McGregor, I hope McGinn starts, he has been fantastic. It is a good
0:31:18 > 0:31:26chance for players to get in.Eraso many good players down in England,
0:31:26 > 0:31:31the young lad that left Rangers to go to Nottingham Forest, John Fleck
0:31:31 > 0:31:34is flying with Sheffield United.Is there anyone that has not made it in
0:31:34 > 0:31:39this time that should be there? McGee has been outstanding. He has
0:31:39 > 0:31:47performed better than Ryan Jack. Rangers with Ryan Jack.You are
0:31:47 > 0:31:54trying to take me in... Yes! Causing me greater grief, I have not seen
0:31:54 > 0:31:59enough of him this season, but he has a propensity to get sent off.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04Sometimes actually in friendlies and things like that. I don't think that
0:32:04 > 0:32:09speaks well, but there were people talking for him to be capped when he
0:32:09 > 0:32:12was at Aberdeen, so they can't now flip it and say he shouldn't be
0:32:12 > 0:32:16capped.It should be based on current form. Somebody to cheer and
0:32:16 > 0:32:20somebody do have a go at.Shades of Ian Blackford!
0:32:22 > 0:32:26We will head back around the grounds, starting in Hamilton,
0:32:26 > 0:32:32Accies at home to Aberdeen, still 2-2.The last five minutes of what
0:32:32 > 0:32:37has been a hugely entertaining match here this afternoon. Dougie Imrie
0:32:37 > 0:32:43gave Accies the lead with a fantastic free kick, Stewart
0:32:43 > 0:32:48equalised with his first Premiership goal for Aberdeen. Carrie Arneson
0:32:48 > 0:32:53with the header to make it 2-1. David Templeton then scored to
0:32:53 > 0:33:00equalise.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04equalise. It could go either way in this game, very, very even indeed,
0:33:04 > 0:33:12and it remains Hamilton 2-2 Aberdeen.Ross County still ahead by
0:33:12 > 0:33:17a single goal?They do have a slim lead against Motherwell. Motherwell
0:33:17 > 0:33:22are pushing forward to grab an equaliser. What a turnaround that
0:33:22 > 0:33:26would be. In the first half, Ross County, although they didn't have
0:33:26 > 0:33:32the lion's share of the game, they weren't overly in great position
0:33:32 > 0:33:35against Motherwell, but were clinical in front of goal, and
0:33:35 > 0:33:44deservedly had a 3-0 half-time lead. The first goal was scored by Ryan
0:33:44 > 0:33:51Bowman for Motherwell. Ryan Moore scored a second with 11 minutes to
0:33:51 > 0:33:57go. The clock ticks on. Motherwell are pushing forward, trying to get
0:33:57 > 0:34:03an equaliser. At the minute, Ross County, as I said last time, are
0:34:03 > 0:34:07holding on.To Easter Road to hear from John Barnes, Hibernian against
0:34:07 > 0:34:12Dundee. Hibs still would be upper hand?They are looking for a third,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15coming forward in droves at times in the late period, less than five
0:34:15 > 0:34:28minutes left to play. A flicked effort to the back post, corner kick
0:34:28 > 0:34:34prevented Dundee going 3-1 down. A dink around one defender set up for
0:34:34 > 0:34:40Simon Murray on the right-hand side of the box. He cut it straight back
0:34:40 > 0:34:44to McGinn, who was flying into the box. A low delivery and it would
0:34:44 > 0:34:50have been put away. But it was high and wide, to the frustration of the
0:34:50 > 0:34:55Hibernian midfielder. It remains Hibs 2-1 Dundee.No change there,
0:34:55 > 0:35:01and no change at Ibrox between Rangers and Partick this all.
0:35:01 > 0:35:08Rangers scorers, McCrorie and Conde is, Windass increasing the lead in
0:35:08 > 0:35:14the second half. Partick yet to score in that match. A minute left.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Well, gents, Neal McAdam, I was reading, it in the paper am saying
0:35:18 > 0:35:23there is no need to panic, but this will be their fifth straight defeat.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28It looks like they are going to be. It is a real problem for them. There
0:35:28 > 0:35:33is unrest in the camp, as we heard early on, not scoring goals, leaking
0:35:33 > 0:35:37at the back, a recipe for disaster. If you weeks ago, it was Alan
0:35:37 > 0:35:44Archibald under pressure, and it has shifted to Neil McCann.A second
0:35:44 > 0:35:51victory for Graeme Murty as interim manager, talk of Derek McInnes,
0:35:51 > 0:35:55should they consider keeping him on in that job?No. He did
0:35:55 > 0:35:58fantastically well, he did well last time he was interim manager. It is
0:35:58 > 0:36:03great on his CV. He can organise a team, we can see that. But Rangers
0:36:03 > 0:36:06can't afford to have a rookie manager as their manager, they have
0:36:06 > 0:36:13to get this appointment right, and I don't think it will be Graeme Murty.
0:36:13 > 0:36:22Interim Manager of the Month?A new category!
0:36:22 > 0:36:26category! I think St Johnstone are playing
0:36:26 > 0:36:32them next week.They get a week off next week.Yeah, the week after.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36That they have definitely brought something quite special to the mix,
0:36:36 > 0:36:43because they are a decent team, I am a romantic, so I am a fan of Simon
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Murray, because his football background is not a conventional
0:36:46 > 0:36:50one. It is good to see him doing well, scoring and whatever. I was
0:36:50 > 0:36:55intrigued about the guys talking about Dundee's Neil McCann. It is
0:36:55 > 0:36:59easier to be a football pundit on the telly and it is to be a football
0:36:59 > 0:37:06manager.Alan has done it.It is difficult to be a manager. I was up
0:37:06 > 0:37:09early to write things down, and I would be up for the rest of the day.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13When you are a player and you look after yourself, you are the manager
0:37:13 > 0:37:18and you look after the whole club. Neil is finding that now.He says
0:37:18 > 0:37:23there is no pressure on him.It is a results driven industry.The other
0:37:23 > 0:37:28thing is, it is an area of life where you have two the a superb man
0:37:28 > 0:37:31manager are all people manager, rather than necessarily also being a
0:37:31 > 0:37:37good analyst of the game. In the dressing room, there are so many
0:37:37 > 0:37:42dynamics, so many different human beings and personalities. I don't
0:37:42 > 0:37:47think it will work out well for the McCann.The job has evolved.It has,
0:37:47 > 0:37:51and everything else that goes with it, video technology comes, and the
0:37:51 > 0:37:55scrutiny on you all the time. It is not something I would like to do it
0:37:55 > 0:37:59again. I didn't enjoy it.We said last week he wasn't finding pressure
0:37:59 > 0:38:08with the job.Stuard was talking about how Martin Carney had
0:38:08 > 0:38:13celebrated that equalising goal at New Douglas Park, 2-2 there, that
0:38:13 > 0:38:19would be a good return. They are on a decent run.They are on a decent
0:38:19 > 0:38:23run. It has been a brilliant game to watch, it really has. Aberdeen
0:38:23 > 0:38:26putting them under pressure in the last five minutes, but they have
0:38:26 > 0:38:31been on a good run. They were rock bottom, struggling, but is nice they
0:38:31 > 0:38:42have come back. They always manage to come back.A wee bit of a frack
0:38:42 > 0:38:48are.You are putting the words in the same sentence.He was acting as
0:38:48 > 0:38:53the Peacemaker, that is good to see. That game, Ross County against
0:38:53 > 0:38:59Motherwell County, running down the clock, I had to say, I don't like to
0:38:59 > 0:39:02see it.Taking the ball to the corner, three added on minutes to
0:39:02 > 0:39:08go. It would be a great result, but it is a game of two Haas, God I'm in
0:39:08 > 0:39:13the first half, played well. But a couple of changes got them back in
0:39:13 > 0:39:19the game. It will be difficult, and what a 3-pointer that will be for
0:39:19 > 0:39:24Ross County.They have had a revival of late.They have not beaten
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Rangers since 1993, I wasn't expecting them to get anything out
0:39:29 > 0:39:32of it, Partick.Alan Archibald was under pressure a while ago, it has
0:39:32 > 0:39:37moved off him.He just shifts week to week. So little between the
0:39:37 > 0:39:43bottom of the league, there really is.Who is in danger at the moment?
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Dundee, eight points.Dundee are in the worst form. I like to Chuck
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Hamilton in there, but they played well today.Full-time in Hamilton
0:39:52 > 0:39:59Accies against Aberdeen, Jonathan, all square.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01all square.Hamilton 2-2 Aberdeen, a wonderfully competitive and
0:40:01 > 0:40:04entertaining match, it shows the Scottish Premiership in its best
0:40:04 > 0:40:11light tonight this afternoon. Dougie Imrie lit the place up with a
0:40:11 > 0:40:15fantastic left foot free kick, flashing past Joe Lewis into the net
0:40:15 > 0:40:22to make it 1-0 to Accies. David Templeton lobbed Joe Lewis, but he
0:40:22 > 0:40:28made a good save. Greg Docherty with a cross to Templeton, he could have
0:40:28 > 0:40:32taken a touch, and then taking a more controlled effort, he chose to
0:40:32 > 0:40:36volley first time and blazed wide. Immediately after, Hamilton would
0:40:36 > 0:40:40regret that moment as Greg Stewart burst through to equalise for
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Aberdeen. 1-1 at half-time, loads of chances in the second half for both
0:40:45 > 0:40:50sides. Carrie Anderson bundled the ball over to make it 2-1 to
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Aberdeen. In the end, Templeton would make amends for his earlier
0:40:52 > 0:40:58misses by equalising for Hamilton, 2-2, and a deserved point for the
0:40:58 > 0:41:06home side. It finishes Hamilton 2-2 Aberdeen.Full-time in the
0:41:06 > 0:41:16Championship match, late drama?It has
0:41:16 > 0:41:18has finished 2-1, United hauling themselves level with St Mirren at
0:41:18 > 0:41:23the top. Matt Dunn scoring the first, Stanton adding the killer
0:41:23 > 0:41:31second. St Mirren had possession, but couldn't finish. Scott Fraser's
0:41:31 > 0:41:39free kick on 12 minutes was saved.
0:41:39 > 0:41:46free kick on 12 minutes was saved. United took the lead, a long ball
0:41:46 > 0:41:56trapped by Fraser, low past Samson by Stanton from 40 yards. From the
0:41:56 > 0:42:00left-hand side, 35 yards out, Eckersley hit a speculative shot,
0:42:00 > 0:42:04cracked over the head of the keeper, cracking of the bar and over the
0:42:04 > 0:42:12line. St Mirren down and out, Dundee United 2-1 St Mirren.Back to John
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Barnes at Easter Road, Hibernian against Dundee, full-time.Hibernian
0:42:15 > 0:42:18extend their winning run to four majesties is named third place in
0:42:18 > 0:42:24the Premiership. Martin Boyle getting the opening goal after only
0:42:24 > 0:42:3363 seconds. Dundee was bonded to get an equaliser through Marcus Haber.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37In the second half, Hibs or altered their formation. They went close on
0:42:37 > 0:42:40a couple of occasions through Simon Murray. Dundee themselves almost
0:42:40 > 0:42:48took the lead with El Bakhtaoui with a terrific shot, saved by Marciano.
0:42:48 > 0:42:55But 63 minutes, Simon Murray with a superb volley from Anthony Stokes
0:42:55 > 0:42:59made it 2-1 to Hibs, securing the victory in the end. For Dundee, a
0:42:59 > 0:43:03fifth straight defeat that leaves them bottom of the table.
0:43:03 > 0:43:13It is all over in Dingwall, Ross County holding on.Dingwall had been
0:43:13 > 0:43:18a happy hunting ground for Motherwell recently, but not today.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22Motherwell were better in the second half, Michael Gardyne got Ross
0:43:22 > 0:43:27County off the Mark. The ball in from skipper Andrew Davies, back in
0:43:27 > 0:43:30the starting line-up, God I'm finished off brilliantly. Motherwell
0:43:30 > 0:43:41had chances, God I'm turning provider, the effort smashed in. God
0:43:41 > 0:43:46I'm then make it 3-0 after Jim O'Brien's chance was cleared off the
0:43:46 > 0:43:47line.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53Motherwell made two changes at half-time, and it seems to have the
0:43:53 > 0:44:00desired effect on the substitutes combining well to get Motherwell
0:44:00 > 0:44:05back in the game and they made it 3-1. Motherwell looked livelier and
0:44:05 > 0:44:11with 11 minutes remaining, it was game on, a lovely header from Louis
0:44:11 > 0:44:19Moult. Motherwell went pressing for the equaliser, Adam McCreery in
0:44:19 > 0:44:28goalkeeping call as he kept a effort out with minutes to go. The
0:44:28 > 0:44:33Motherwell manager watched from the stands, not great viewing, but Owen
0:44:33 > 0:44:36Coyle, the Ross County manager, he will enjoy his night, he will enjoy
0:44:36 > 0:44:43this result. Ross County 3-2 Motherwell.Rangers supporters will
0:44:43 > 0:44:47enjoy this result, they Wing 3-0 at home against Partick Thistle was
0:44:47 > 0:44:51afternoon. Josh Windass scoring the third early in the second half,
0:44:51 > 0:44:58adding to the total. Conde us with the second. McCrorie with the first.
0:44:58 > 0:45:06A second win on the spin under Graeme Murty.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10Let him or from Brian McLoughlin, watching Falkirk against
0:45:10 > 0:45:16Dunfermline.It finished Falkirk one, Dunfermline one, the visitors
0:45:16 > 0:45:19ending the game with nine men on the pitch. They took the lead before the
0:45:19 > 0:45:26half-hour mark from the penalty
0:45:26 > 0:45:28half-hour mark from the penalty spot after Dunn bundled into Nicky Clark.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32Kallum Higginbotham sent the keeper the wrong way and have the perfect
0:45:32 > 0:45:37penalty.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42penalty. Just 19 minutes into the second half, he received his second
0:45:42 > 0:45:46yellow card and then a red card. Falkirk pushed more men forward and
0:45:46 > 0:45:51equalised through a wonderful free kick from Jordan McGee. It was end
0:45:51 > 0:45:55to end at that point. Anybody could have won. Falkirk pushed more men
0:45:55 > 0:46:00forward and with five minutes left to play, Dunfermline were reduced to
0:46:00 > 0:46:06just nine men, Declan McManus receiving his second yellow of the
0:46:06 > 0:46:15day. There was also a header in the last minute of stoppage time.
0:46:15 > 0:46:26Magnificent drama for the 5500 fans inside the stadium.I thought it was
0:46:26 > 0:46:346500 earlier! 1000 must have left early.
0:46:34 > 0:46:39early.0-0 with this match. I can't live up to the excitement that Brian
0:46:39 > 0:46:42just shared. Clean sheets for both sides and both keep up the good
0:46:42 > 0:46:47recent form as well. Livingston have only lost once in their last six
0:46:47 > 0:46:53games. Inverness haven't lost at all in their last six games, so after a
0:46:53 > 0:46:57shaky start, the Highlanders are now studying out. It was a poor game
0:46:57 > 0:47:07overall, very few chances.
0:47:09 > 0:47:16There was very little in all that Livingston had to offer. The main
0:47:16 > 0:47:19reason they will be disappointed will be that they could have ended
0:47:19 > 0:47:23the day to put the championship with a whimper, given that St Mirren have
0:47:23 > 0:47:27lost. They have not taken the opportunity, but it was still a good
0:47:27 > 0:47:30season for the West Lothian side who many would not have predicted that
0:47:30 > 0:47:38there would be up there at this point of the season.Alan, you were
0:47:38 > 0:47:41a manager at Livingston once upon a time. Would you have predicted that
0:47:41 > 0:47:53they would be so giddy early on?I don't think so.
0:47:53 > 0:48:02don't think so.Between first and fifth, two points.
0:48:02 > 0:48:08fifth, two points. It is close. It is the international break next
0:48:08 > 0:48:15week, so maybe they will get a chance to regroup.They need to. A
0:48:15 > 0:48:23wee break just what they need.We talk about the new boss bounce. It's
0:48:23 > 0:48:30such a phenomenon emerging?Well, it would appear so, because there was
0:48:30 > 0:48:35one at Rangers and there is one here as well. I just feel there is
0:48:35 > 0:48:40something about this league that becomes almost impossible to call,
0:48:40 > 0:48:46because only a few weeks ago, a lot of people were wondering about
0:48:46 > 0:48:50Inverness. Suddenly, they put a wee string of results together and they
0:48:50 > 0:48:58are not far off. It is quite an incredible league.I am going to put
0:48:58 > 0:49:01a longer string of results together, because it is time for the
0:49:01 > 0:49:07classified round-up.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11classified round-up. No, I didn't like that link either, chaps. We
0:49:11 > 0:49:22start with the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership.
0:51:14 > 0:51:23managers in the Premier League after all of today's
0:51:26 > 0:51:38Let's have a look at the league tables.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40There are four pages of results. So, significant results today in the
0:53:40 > 0:53:48Premier League, Celtic opening of a points gap over Aberdeen at the top.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51That was fairly predictable. At the start of the season, I said I don't
0:53:51 > 0:53:55think they can go the whole season unbeaten again. I think they will
0:53:55 > 0:54:00lose, but they are just so consistent. Today was a fantastic
0:54:00 > 0:54:03result, with some individually brilliant goals.Aberdeen will be
0:54:03 > 0:54:08disappointed to drop points away to Hamilton.They have always struggled
0:54:08 > 0:54:24there. You would not battle against Hamilton at any stage.
0:54:24 > 0:54:27Hamilton at any stage.They thumped us up at Perth eventually. I thought
0:54:27 > 0:54:37it was a close game than the result.
0:54:37 > 0:54:42it was a close game than the result. One thing is interesting is that if
0:54:42 > 0:54:48you look at the top of the English Premiership, I only look at it when
0:54:48 > 0:54:53I have a point that proves that Scotland is better! And that is that
0:54:53 > 0:54:58people talk about Celtic running away with it, but actually, Celtic
0:54:58 > 0:55:03are pegging back much closer to Hibernian and Aberdeen, with Rangers
0:55:03 > 0:55:07coming up. If you look at the top of the English Premiership and you look
0:55:07 > 0:55:12at Man United and Man City, Man City are running away with it.You are
0:55:12 > 0:55:16right, that was interesting. See if David Templeton can say anything
0:55:16 > 0:55:24more interesting. He spoke after the draw with Aberdeen.David,
0:55:24 > 0:55:29congratulations on the dole. How competitive was a?As a fan, it
0:55:29 > 0:55:32would have been a good game to watch. There were loads of chances
0:55:32 > 0:55:38at both ends. For myself in the first half, I had a couple of great
0:55:38 > 0:55:43chances. I should have scored. I think I scored the hardest out of
0:55:43 > 0:55:47this with three of them. After the two I missed, I think you could see
0:55:47 > 0:55:56I was happy with it.So he scored one, but he could have scored a few.
0:55:56 > 0:56:02He should have scored a hat-trick.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05He should have scored a hat-trick. Next, it is the Ross County manager
0:56:05 > 0:56:10Owen Coyle, celebrating a 3-2 win over Motherwell.You will be happy
0:56:10 > 0:56:15with that.I am delighted. We knew it was going to be a tough
0:56:15 > 0:56:22challenge.
0:56:22 > 0:56:25challenge. The club have already played them twice, so it was
0:56:25 > 0:56:29important that we set about the game as we did. We got a good lead to
0:56:29 > 0:56:33take into half-time. It was disappointing to allow Motherwell
0:56:33 > 0:56:39back in the game. They scored two wonderful headers. But there is no
0:56:39 > 0:56:46doubt that we deserved the three points.
0:56:46 > 0:56:51points. We have to make sure we don't allow Motherwell back in. But
0:56:51 > 0:56:56if somebody had offered you that before the game, I would have
0:56:56 > 0:57:03grabbed it with both hands, so absolutely delighted. It shows a
0:57:03 > 0:57:11very good turnaround.They are creeping up that table. They are up
0:57:11 > 0:57:17to eighth now.
0:57:17 > 0:57:21to eighth now.You were already pre-empting the Hearts versus
0:57:21 > 0:57:28Kilmarnock game, are you?We have to see what happens.They have done
0:57:28 > 0:57:35well. It is their home form that has changed things.It seems to have
0:57:35 > 0:57:39reenergised things.I think they have stepped up. They almost threw
0:57:39 > 0:57:46it away at the end, but they deserved to win the match.There is
0:57:46 > 0:57:49a personal performance by Gardyne, who was outstanding in the first 45
0:57:49 > 0:57:56and faded away a bit in the second. But a really good performance.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59Hearts tomorrow at Murrayfield, and attitude run of home games at
0:57:59 > 0:58:04Tynecastle.It is not a neutral venue any more, and that is what
0:58:04 > 0:58:13Hearts need. There is no advantage to Hearts playing there.They have a
0:58:13 > 0:58:20long run of home games.Very much so.Chaps, we have run out of time
0:58:20 > 0:58:24for another week. The best of the Premiership action can be viewed in
0:58:24 > 0:58:28its glory tomorrow at six o'clock on BBC Two Scotland. Stephen and his
0:58:28 > 0:58:34on-screen family will be here for that. No results show next week.
0:58:34 > 0:58:37Console yourselves in the knowledge that Stuart Cosgrove will not let
0:58:37 > 0:58:41you down. He will be on the hour with off the Ball Saturday
0:58:41 > 0:58:46supplement. Get your nominations in 14 of the day. Thanks to Stephen,
0:58:46 > 0:58:49Alan and Stewart for sharing the experience with us and see you soon.
0:58:49 > 0:58:59Take care.
