:03:16. > :03:22.landed the trophy in 2010. Rangers versus Dundee United. It is just
:03:22. > :03:28.about as difficult a tie as Rangers could have wished for. 23 years
:03:28. > :03:37.have passed since they last beat Dundee United in the Scottish Cup.
:03:37. > :03:45.They met them in the 1994 final. United lifted the trophy for the

:04:57. > :05:05.had to deal with in August when he lost David Goodwillie to the
:05:05. > :05:15.Premier League in England. It is a situation the big two have to deal

:05:42. > :05:51.think he has got to go for it. I think it is at the TEC. It was
:05:51. > :05:57.eventually pop then but I think it was a let off. Craig Levein was
:05:57. > :06:07.here for a league match not long after his team shipped a good
:06:07. > :06:18.
:06:18. > :06:26.player. Wallace is away on the left-hand side. Giving it to Aluko.
:06:26. > :06:34.Wallace has certainly got the legs. That was a little lay-off from
:06:34. > :06:40.Healey. It was worth a shot. Just of target. Dixon has got a good
:06:40. > :06:46.left foot and MacGregor needed to save. I am not sure if that was on
:06:46. > :06:54.target but MacGregor took no chances. He has to deal with it
:06:54. > :07:03.with his left hand. It was the finger tips on it. The resulting
:07:03. > :07:12.corner comes in to hide. Rankin. Good ball. MacGregor clod that one
:07:12. > :07:16.away. It is a goal for down the United! You have to say that they
:07:16. > :07:24.deserve that one. Gavin Gunning is sense the United fans into raptures.

:07:29. > :07:38.MacGregor does not really know how to deal with it but Rangers were
:07:38. > :07:46.never organised. They never got themselves sorted. The big man took

:07:52. > :08:02.season. He was in the team who lost the final to Celtic. He has put
:08:02. > :08:05.
:08:05. > :08:15.down the United in the lead here at Ibrox. Alan McCoist feels like he
:08:15. > :08:16.
:08:16. > :08:26.is not getting help from his board, that can be so, so tough. Papa it.

:09:40. > :09:45.
:09:45. > :09:48.ball because he does the business. -- Sone Aluko. Scott Robertson. We
:09:48. > :09:57.can see Scott Robertson getting an extended run in the Dundee United
:09:57. > :10:03.team. He has been sought intriguing with injuries over the past few
:10:03. > :10:13.seasons. He has been out for lengthy periods. Russell, watch
:10:13. > :10:17.
:10:17. > :10:27.this space, 2-0! Dundee United double up. The lead 2-0. We talked
:10:27. > :10:29.

:11:20. > :11:31.
:11:31. > :11:40.final third. Davies. In four or Berkeley. -- in four or Bartley.
:11:40. > :11:46.Aluko. Rangers will need to get something back before the interval.
:11:46. > :11:54.Here is Kyle Bartley. Russell is about to meet him. He has got to
:11:54. > :11:58.the corner. There will not be any stoppage time. This is probably the
:11:58. > :12:08.last chance for Rangers to get something back into the game before
:12:08. > :12:10.
:12:10. > :12:17.half-time. The keeper did not have to think about it. It was cleared.
:12:17. > :12:23.It looks as though Dundee United take best to have time at 2-0.
:12:23. > :12:32.Indeed it is. The half-time whistle. You can hear what de Rangers fans
:12:32. > :12:42.make of that. BOOING. At half-time at Ibrox it is Rangers Snell,
:12:42. > :13:08.
:13:08. > :13:18.Dundee United 2. -- a Rangers 0, a Tannadice the replay right now.

:13:32. > :13:35.
:13:35. > :13:45.Dundee United. Robertson, Edu. Sone Aluko. Ansdell, he has got the
:13:45. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :13:58.corner. Sone Aluko was trying to work it. Good defending from Rankin.
:13:58. > :14:08.An awkward bounce for Robinson. That is good play from Scott
:14:08. > :14:10.
:14:10. > :14:19.Robertson. The Romanian will be booked. We have seen that a few
:14:19. > :14:29.times already. That man has got so much pace. He is always getting to
:14:29. > :14:30.
:14:30. > :14:35.the ball. A great opportunity for Dundee United. Can they get the
:14:35. > :14:42.finish? They did not. MacGregor holds on. That could be a huge
:14:42. > :14:50.moment in this cup tie. That was a moment of opportunity to tell it.
:14:50. > :15:00.Absolutely. Of what a chance. are putting the pressure on again
:15:00. > :15:13.
:15:13. > :15:22.the visitors. Dixon to Dili. Great delivery again from Dixon. Sony
:15:22. > :15:32.Aluko. Just looking for something to grasp on to in this Scottish Cup
:15:32. > :15:36.
:15:36. > :15:42.tie. As it came across from Sone Aluko his team-mate was waiting
:15:42. > :15:49.just on the edge of the six-yard box and he scooped it over the bar.
:15:49. > :15:55.We just need to find as bark from somewhere. It has been lacking all
:15:55. > :16:00.afternoon for Rangers. They have to do something on the pitch to give
:16:00. > :16:06.the fans a lift. It is a flat performance which means nothing is
:16:06. > :16:16.coming from the stands. Just 13 minutes to go now and it looks like
:16:16. > :16:16.
:16:16. > :17:12.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:17:12. > :17:17.have come to Glasgow and they have beaten Rangers!. They are through
:17:17. > :17:27.to the quarter-finals. They have knocked the Ibrox side out of the
:17:27. > :17:31.Scottish Cup. It really is the end to a horror week for Rangers. They
:17:31. > :17:41.lost their top scorer and they have dominated the back pages of the
:17:41. > :17:49.
:17:49. > :17:55.newspapers. Dundee United are in tomorrow's draw. No-one can deny it
:17:55. > :18:01.the victory. We performed well in the first half. I was disappointed
:18:01. > :18:08.that we did not get the third goal. Delighted with the players's
:18:08. > :18:16.efforts. We always go into a game believing we can get something.
:18:16. > :18:21.Rangers played well. We were brilliant in the first half, but it
:18:21. > :18:24.fell away in the second half slightly. We know Rangers have been
:18:24. > :18:34.having their problems on and off the field. Didn't expect more from
:18:34. > :18:35.
:18:35. > :18:45.them? A didn't. In the second half, they were the better team. -- I
:18:45. > :18:45.
:18:45. > :18:52.didn't. He is a great manager and he will turn them around. Is it is
:18:52. > :18:57.not easy to come to Ibrox. We will take massive confidence from this.
:18:57. > :19:07.A little celebration perhaps tonight? I don't know about that,
:19:07. > :19:10.
:19:10. > :19:18.John Rankin is with us. Because of the week it has been for Rangers,
:19:18. > :19:22.did you go there today with big expectations? Yes. Inside the club
:19:22. > :19:32.this week there has been a confidence that they could go to
:19:32. > :19:37.
:19:37. > :19:47.Ibrox and get something. 17,822 inside Ibrox. Was it a strange
:19:47. > :19:54.
:19:54. > :19:58.atmosphere. Yes, because there were so many empty seats towards the end.
:19:58. > :20:03.Billy, you started your playing career with Rangers. How did it
:20:03. > :20:13.feel? The events of the last few weeks are in people's mind. It is
:20:13. > :20:18.
:20:18. > :20:22.very unsettling. There was an eerie situation about the stadium today.
:20:22. > :20:31.The you must wonder now what the rest of the season will hold for
:20:31. > :20:39.Rangers. A lot of people watching today and will probably thinking of
:20:39. > :20:49.Jelavic has gone, he hasn't been replaced, what is happening?
:20:49. > :20:55.
:20:55. > :21:05.However, let us get this straight, it was only one game. Saying that,
:21:05. > :21:10.
:21:10. > :21:15.there was no fear factor for the Dundee players. You need that
:21:15. > :21:25.because if you don't, teens or just attack you. Look as -- let us look
:21:25. > :21:31.
:21:31. > :21:41.at the goal from Gunning. An excellent cross. It was. I crossed
:21:41. > :21:43.
:21:43. > :21:51.it and McGregor missed it. Shambolic defending? Well, I think
:21:51. > :21:56.the pace from Papac is disappointing. Also, the aggressive
:21:56. > :22:03.marketing -- marking, it doesn't always work. Papac should be doing
:22:03. > :22:13.better. The second is great from your point of view, but were you
:22:13. > :22:13.
:22:13. > :22:23.surprised about how easily you got through? I didn't. We had some
:22:23. > :22:33.
:22:33. > :22:38.great passers and we have got some great finishers. Even at that stage,
:22:38. > :22:48.or were you thinking, where his Rangers's response? It never really
:22:48. > :22:55.
:22:55. > :23:00.came. Bocanegra stays central and he did not come across. You cannot
:23:00. > :23:10.give good players that amount of time. This is just about one of the
:23:10. > :23:13.
:23:13. > :23:18.best chances Rangers had, and there weren't too many of them. Yes. You
:23:18. > :23:28.can see the backspin in the ball there. That is what you get from
:23:28. > :23:30.
:23:30. > :23:40.class players. That is another very good save. He did expect an
:23:40. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:51.onslaught of chances, but it didn't happen. This was the best chance
:23:51. > :23:52.
:23:52. > :23:57.for Little. He said there was also won over the bar. There was grit
:23:57. > :24:02.defending and a desire to win. Against that, there were quite a
:24:02. > :24:09.few chances for Dundee United to have really shunted raiders out of
:24:09. > :24:15.the equation. Very much so. I think he will be disappointed with
:24:15. > :24:25.himself. This is a great ball in. He was just unlucky. Another good
:24:25. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:38.chance. This tremendous shot from ranking there. I did fancy my
:24:38. > :24:44.chances. I thought I would just give it a go. That was a pretty
:24:44. > :24:52.comfortable second half for you, wasn't it? It could have been more
:24:52. > :25:00.comfortable. I could have been more composed, we awkward. Let us have a
:25:00. > :25:08.look at the changing face of Ally McCoist during the match. Well, it
:25:08. > :25:14.probably didn't change at all. He look -- looked down in the dumps
:25:14. > :25:22.throughout the match. When he threw on Kerkar, was that him saying that
:25:22. > :25:26.was all he had? He has said all along it is time for everyone to be
:25:26. > :25:32.together and all a manager can do is work with the resources he has.
:25:32. > :25:39.He will do the best he can and the staff and players will continue to
:25:39. > :25:44.work very hard. I'll Rangers serious competition for Celtic?
:25:44. > :25:49.There is plenty of football left. Great credit to Dundee United. I
:25:49. > :25:55.put professionally today, they were excellent. The work ethic was first
:25:55. > :26:05.class. Raiders were better in the second half, but they did not have
:26:05. > :26:06.
:26:06. > :26:14.too many chances, but you have got to give Dundee United their dues.
:26:14. > :26:24.We are persona at long Rutter, but all we can do is look on the wires
:26:24. > :26:34.to see what Alan a crisis saying. - - and a McCoist is saying. -- we
:26:34. > :26:42.
:26:42. > :26:52.We know the finances are on their. People are fearful for Rangers
:26:52. > :26:53.
:26:53. > :27:03.because that's what is not be enough. -- that's what is not be
:27:03. > :27:14.
:27:14. > :27:18.Alan McCoist has to perform miracles. Last word on Dundee
:27:18. > :27:26.United - considering all the big names that vanished at the end of
:27:26. > :27:31.last season, what a rebuilding job Peter Houston has done. He has done
:27:31. > :27:41.very well. He has obviously done his homework with the players he
:27:41. > :27:41.
:27:41. > :27:51.brought in. But the ethic of the squad has stayed the same. They had
:27:51. > :27:57.
:27:57. > :28:01.made me feel very welcome. -- they have. We will sort you out with the
:28:01. > :28:11.best bits from yesterday after Aberdeen at struggle against Queen
:28:11. > :28:31.
:28:31. > :28:40.of the goal. There was to be no repeat of that famous semi-final
:28:40. > :28:50.win of four years ago. Scott Vernon's 11th goal was enough to
:28:50. > :28:54.
:28:54. > :29:04.own the site every play. The Dons might have won it later run, but
:29:04. > :29:14.Mitchell's composure deserted him at the crucial moment. Motherwell 1
:29:14. > :29:14.
:29:14. > :29:20.at a canter. It was from another corner that the second goal arrived.
:29:20. > :29:30.The header was well saved, but Jamie Murphy was first on the
:29:30. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:43.rebound. And guess who provided the third goal for Motherwell? Hutchins
:29:43. > :30:21.
:30:21. > :30:31.and doing what he does best. -- Motherwell eased off the gas. --
:30:31. > :30:39.
:30:39. > :30:43.Motherwell. Still a day to forget Motherwell fancy their chances for
:30:43. > :30:53.the Cup. They were quite unlucky against Celtic, but I'm sure they
:30:53. > :30:56.will get back their confidence from their 6-1 win yesterday. And the
:30:56. > :31:06.Queen of the South probably think they can finish the job as well?
:31:06. > :31:13.
:31:13. > :31:18.Yes. It was a good match. Those four words, Queen of the South,
:31:18. > :31:25.bring back bad memories for Aberdeen fans. The whole thing
:31:25. > :31:29.about Aberdeen it really are the mistakes they have made. They
:31:30. > :31:39.cannot go into the second leg without anything other than a
:31:40. > :31:53.
:31:53. > :31:58.perfect attitude. Next, let us see Hearts versus St Johnstone.
:31:58. > :32:05.Johnstone beat Hearts for the first time in the competition last season
:32:05. > :32:15.thanks to one goal. Hearts are seeking a change of fortune this
:32:15. > :32:25.afternoon. The changes from the side who lost to Inverness last
:32:25. > :32:37.
:32:37. > :32:47.The St Johnstone are lost to Motherwell last weekend, just one
:32:47. > :32:52.change. Robertson returns to the starting line-up today. Skacel
:32:52. > :33:02.while being the top goalscorer has not scored in this competition
:33:02. > :33:04.
:33:04. > :33:12.since playing in the Cup final against Gretna. This man was a
:33:12. > :33:22.transfer target for Rangers but he remains with this theme for now.
:33:22. > :33:45.
:33:45. > :33:54.The FE this afternoon is Craig can -- Templeton. The ball is
:33:54. > :34:04.forward. No one in the box. An easy clear and but not a good one. It
:34:04. > :34:12.
:34:12. > :34:22.goes on to David son who fancies his chances. -- Davidson. Davidson
:34:22. > :34:32.has two Scottish Cup goals in his career. That was too far in advance
:34:32. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:50.of David Robertson. St Johnstone won here two goals to one in
:34:50. > :35:00.September. He scores! A great goal for Templeton. He scores for the
:35:00. > :35:02.
:35:02. > :35:08.first time in the Scottish Cup as a Hearts player. That was a
:35:08. > :35:18.nonchalant ball up the inside. There was a gap at the post. He
:35:18. > :35:26.
:35:26. > :35:34.struck it then. -- strutted 10. There was enough power in it. --
:35:34. > :35:41.struck it in. Good control, he brings it down. A lovely touch with
:35:41. > :35:50.the left foot. It is cut across. A great ball from Andy Webster. David
:35:50. > :36:00.Robertson sliding in. That is another good clearance away by Andy
:36:00. > :36:05.
:36:05. > :36:15.Webster. The Hearts manager still lives in Edinburgh. Robertson clips
:36:15. > :36:28.
:36:29. > :36:37.it back. A chance. He said Robertson up and then the swipe.
:36:37. > :36:47.Create a sense it down the line, it was not out. -- Creek Saines it
:36:47. > :36:54.
:36:54. > :37:04.down. -- Craig sends it down. That was clever. He is cutting inside.
:37:04. > :37:12.Embleton plays at a cross. Robertson! Templeton will be taking
:37:12. > :37:22.up a good position. He decides to come inside. Anderson returns. It
:37:22. > :37:24.
:37:24. > :37:33.is just out of play. Hearts have their first corner of the match.
:37:33. > :37:43.Ian Black gets set. The half-time whistle goes. No one could get on

:38:34. > :38:44.Johnston lost away in the Scottish Cup. -- St Johnstone. In common. As

:38:58. > :39:05.the ball back to his keeper. Now it through on to Cillian Sheridan.
:39:05. > :39:13.Hooked across. Almost the perfect start to the second half! A wasted
:39:13. > :39:23.chance! It is played through. He has his head in his hands and I am
:39:23. > :39:24.
:39:24. > :39:28.not surprised. He looked certain to score a but he hit the crossbar.
:39:28. > :39:38.The top goal scorer this season. He should have had St Johnstone on
:39:38. > :39:39.
:39:39. > :39:49.equal terms. Liam Craig, Craig tries the shot. It was a hard one
:39:49. > :39:56.
:39:57. > :40:06.to take. The keeper reached it. As the ball gets played in there is a
:40:07. > :40:12.
:40:12. > :40:22.shout for hand ball. The referee shout for hand ball. The referee
:40:22. > :40:24.
:40:24. > :40:34.said No. Anderson, on the angle, on side. For Croft. My gamin going
:40:34. > :40:49.
:40:49. > :40:59.India. He will concede the corner. -- McGowan going in there. Skacel.
:40:59. > :41:09.Was he bowled over? Yes he was. Mackay has talked his way into deep
:41:09. > :41:26.
:41:26. > :41:36.get in for him David Templeton. Arguably Hearts' best play of the
:41:36. > :41:36.
:41:37. > :41:42.second half. The shot was cracked across goal but no takers. David
:41:42. > :41:49.Templeton was caught. Plea on. The referee gave the decision against
:41:49. > :41:58.Dave Mackay. Dave Mackay is going off. It is a red card. He had high
:41:58. > :42:08.feet. The man who won a penalty here in December is red-carded. He
:42:08. > :42:14.
:42:14. > :42:20.will feel hard done by but the boot was up. A chance for 1-1! He could
:42:20. > :42:29.not get it through at all. They have linked up well in the second
:42:29. > :42:33.half but the striker has not been able to finish his work. Cillian
:42:33. > :42:43.Sheridan is on side, he has glanced at the far side. He finishes in
:42:43. > :42:45.
:42:45. > :42:53.style! St Johnstone are back in this Scottish Cup tie. Hearts beat
:42:53. > :43:03.the ball away and boy, did St Johnstone meet then pay! -- make
:43:03. > :43:04.
:43:04. > :43:14.them pay. It was just enough. Cillian Sheridan Poots St Johnstone
:43:14. > :43:15.
:43:16. > :43:25.level. It is a finish that is hard to argue West. -- argue with. There
:43:26. > :43:27.
:43:27. > :43:34.is a chance here for Croft. This could be a chance here for Croft.
:43:34. > :43:44.And what a chance it was. He just could not pick up the ball. The
:43:44. > :43:54.
:43:54. > :44:00.last defender was on his way. David Templeton. He is being held back.
:44:00. > :44:09.Into the box. Turned away well. Here comes Ian Black. Templeton
:44:09. > :44:19.with a chance. He has given his all this afternoon. Callum Davidson
:44:19. > :44:24.
:44:25. > :44:34.played it away. It was just not good enough to get across the
:44:35. > :44:59.
:44:59. > :45:09.Scottish Cup is impressive. They have not lost since the 2006. It is
:45:09. > :45:20.
:45:20. > :45:26.all over. It is Hearts' first draw of the season. Cillian Sheridan
:45:26. > :45:36.replied to David Templeton's 10th minute strike. They will do it all
:45:36. > :45:37.
:45:37. > :45:43.over again in the replay. Hearts 1, St Johnstone 1. Even in the first
:45:43. > :45:53.half I believed we could do better. We did well in some periods of the
:45:53. > :45:57.
:45:57. > :46:07.game but in the next periods not so I thought we deserved to draw. Some
:46:07. > :46:17.
:46:17. > :46:27.parts of the second half I thought penalty. I cannot praise my boys
:46:27. > :46:30.
:46:30. > :46:40.highly enough today. I get the feeling that the only positive is
:46:40. > :46:52.
:46:52. > :46:58.that Hearts are still in the I watched the game anyone and they
:46:58. > :47:02.were impressive. Sheridan is a major threat. Billy, you have been
:47:02. > :47:08.working down south for a while, but I guess you have been keeping an
:47:08. > :47:18.eye on what has been going on at Hearts. Yes. It is difficult to see
:47:18. > :47:21.
:47:21. > :47:31.what is happening, but the players and staff have handled things well,
:47:31. > :47:39.
:47:39. > :47:46.despite what has been happening. has been at said that there are
:47:46. > :47:50.financial worries when it comes to buying players and transfers.
:47:50. > :48:00.is the same for everybody. Templeton was great today. Great
:48:00. > :48:06.
:48:06. > :48:11.balance. He is fearless as well. He will make defenders make decisions.
:48:11. > :48:21.Excellent first touch there. He shows Excellence Gill. He would be
:48:21. > :48:23.
:48:23. > :48:33.a player, you would imagine, other managers would be looking at?
:48:33. > :48:38.
:48:38. > :48:48.Definitely. The record for Mackay form some -- a record for Mackay
:48:48. > :48:48.
:48:48. > :48:54.for some bookable offences. If very unfortunate. -- vary. He is angry
:48:54. > :49:02.and he has tried to hold himself back. This one, I'm not convinced
:49:02. > :49:12.he knows at all. He is looking at the ball, he goes to clear it
:49:12. > :49:12.
:49:12. > :49:17.upfield. He did not kick the player in the head. Referees need to use a
:49:17. > :49:21.bit more common sense. If the player is going for the ball, OK,
:49:21. > :49:31.his foot is higher, but talk to him. Tell him the next time he will be
:49:31. > :49:37.
:49:37. > :49:47.in trouble. On that occasion, a sending off was not necessary.
:49:47. > :49:49.
:49:49. > :49:59.Cillian Sheridan, he made a difference. Definitely. He is
:49:59. > :50:05.
:50:05. > :50:11.amazing. Sandaza is very good as well. That is a good enough goal,
:50:11. > :50:18.and when you see it from this angle. He knows exactly what he is doing.
:50:18. > :50:27.Their partnership will continue for the rest of the season. Sandaza is
:50:27. > :50:37.an ex United player, doing a great job for St Johnstone. He has got a
:50:37. > :50:43.
:50:43. > :50:53.lot of light. His finishing is great. He had some great chances
:50:53. > :50:53.
:50:53. > :51:03.today. His movement as well. He is also good at bringing other players
:51:03. > :51:07.
:51:07. > :51:15.into the game. Do you think he tried a bit too hard today? Maybe.
:51:15. > :51:25.Naturally he puts them away every day of the week. He is the sort of
:51:25. > :51:31.player Rangers could do with. McCoist is looking for a striker of
:51:31. > :51:41.quality, but in the short term, he would have held the numbers epi put
:51:41. > :51:43.
:51:43. > :51:48.Sandaza on? -- if he port. Absolutely. He has got good
:51:48. > :51:58.movement, technical ability. He can certainly create goals as well as
:51:58. > :52:08.golden. It could have been 2-0 have they been given a penalty for Dave
:52:08. > :52:13.
:52:13. > :52:16.Mackay's Hamble. -- handball. feel when you jump, your arms
:52:16. > :52:23.should be at shoulder height and or higher. I would have given the
:52:23. > :52:33.penalty. Before we go, let us complete a round up of the Scottish
:52:33. > :52:43.
:52:43. > :52:53.unbeaten in 15 games and looked good to make it 16 when Stewart
:52:53. > :52:53.
:52:53. > :52:57.Kettlewell was felled in the box. Danny Lennon did not have long to
:52:57. > :53:04.wait for an equaliser. It was Steven Thomson who obliged with his
:53:04. > :53:12.9th goal of the season. The tight look to be heading for a replay
:53:12. > :53:21.when the former St Mirren man embarked on a solo run. Only to be
:53:21. > :53:31.brought down. But the pressure was too much for the county captain and
:53:31. > :53:35.
:53:35. > :53:45.more this season. It was the home side who first had the ball in the
:53:45. > :53:49.
:53:49. > :53:59.net. Gary O'Connor pleading his case. There was better luck for
:53:59. > :54:02.
:54:02. > :54:12.Hibs shortly afterwards. Doyle! That was well finished in
:54:12. > :54:19.
:54:19. > :54:26.the end. Kilmarnock had their chances. A good save. But it was
:54:26. > :54:36.Hibs who progressed. Celtic look to continue their
:54:36. > :54:40.
:54:40. > :54:49.winning streak. That was strong. The next threat
:54:50. > :54:59.came from a corner. Having survived those scares, it was Neil Lennon's
:55:00. > :55:01.
:55:02. > :55:10.men who went in front. What a goal! Delight for the
:55:10. > :55:20.manager and further cause for celebration in the second half.
:55:20. > :55:41.
:55:41. > :55:49.They had great momentum at the moment. And they will be aware of
:55:49. > :55:56.the other teams that could come through. There are some dangerous
:55:56. > :56:04.teams out there. Terry Butcher was possibly the angriest man in
:56:04. > :56:14.Scotland yesterday. I didn't see the game, but I felt it would be a
:56:14. > :56:15.
:56:15. > :56:25.difficult tie for Celtic the way it was described. Wind, snow, rain.
:56:25. > :56:34.But, I mean, Celtic capitalised on some of the errors. There was a
:56:34. > :56:40.resilience about Hibs, having gone ahead and holding on. To be feared,
:56:40. > :56:46.-- to be fair, let's not talk about the cup! Seriously, the changes
:56:46. > :56:56.were positive ones, particularly on the defence. John and I were
:56:56. > :57:06.
:57:06. > :57:11.talking about this before the game. The changes have been huge, but the
:57:11. > :57:19.fans are probably thinking it will be OK. Ross County will fancy their
:57:19. > :57:29.chances, but could have got the job done yesterday. They could have,
:57:29. > :57:32.
:57:32. > :57:36.but they missed a penalty. Ross County will be hoping for a big
:57:36. > :57:46.crowd. The at must there at Dingwall on a Tuesday night will
:57:46. > :57:46.
:57:46. > :57:56.certainly be good. Their manager will probably be faring the trip
:57:56. > :58:05.
:58:05. > :58:08.north. I'm not surprised. Seriously though, they play quality football.
:58:08. > :58:17.The four girls first will have to be played, I don't think any of
:58:17. > :58:23.them will be particularly easy to call. Falkirk played well, we watch
:58:23. > :58:33.them last week. It is a tough one to call at this point in time.
:58:33. > :58:33.
:58:33. > :58:43.would you fancy, John, in the last eight for Dundee United? anyone
:58:43. > :58:44.
:58:44. > :58:49.away from home. It will be difficult at this stage. You can
