The story coming up the third last weekend of the SPL season and going | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
into it with the title already won two big issues still to be settled. | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
The league last European place and relegation. My guests join me | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
tonight. Before we go any further, the first individual awards of the | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
season are being handed out by the Scottish personal footballers | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
Association in Glasgow. They have not been handed out, but what has | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
been decided at this stage is Manager of the Year and it is Queen | :00:53. | :01:01. | |
of the South Allan Johnston. He took the second division title by 25 | :01:01. | :01:11. | |
:01:11. | :01:11. | ||
points. -- the team. Excellent. I must congratulate him. They beat a | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
lot of big teams into the bargain. There will be people who moan as | :01:16. | :01:23. | |
usual. It happens. We must congratulate him. Are you surprised | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
when you looked at the other shortlist was? Congratulations to | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
him, it is superb. I had Stuart McCall or Terry Butcher down. They | :01:35. | :01:42. | |
had fantastic seasons. You need to look at Neil Lennon and what Celtic | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
have achieved. I am being very diplomatic! It was not bad for a | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
Scottish manager? He was the outstanding candidate for me. The | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
timing of it is not quite right but I would have on-board kneeled | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
Lennon. They have won the league, the last 16, he was the outstanding | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
candidate, but it was not to be stop they all did well and they deserve a | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
mention. We will have more news on the awards later on. To the weekend | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
action and Dundee's determination has seen them stable relegation. St | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
Mirren's miserable run of results has helped. Since they bond the | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
league cup... If you are only going to win one game in two months, you | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
would want it to be that one. Their lack of league points has kept them | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
:02:54. | :02:55. | ||
in the drop zone. Could they see the SPL status Western Mark -- could be | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
:03:05. | :03:05. | ||
SPL status Western Mark -- could be sealed the SPL status? It is an | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
:03:15. | :03:15. | ||
early test for Craig Samson. Good played by Hearts. Good first touch. | :03:15. | :03:23. | |
Gary Locke watches on. Thomson wins the header and it is knocked over | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
the header and it is knocked over the header and it is knocked over | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
:03:38. | :03:42. | ||
the top. Hearts trying to build again but St Mary and get there. | :03:42. | :03:52. | |
:03:52. | :03:53. | ||
Walker shows the inside. A great strike from Jamie Walker. He had his | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
pocket picked and Jamie Walker sticks it inside. He cracks it away | :04:00. | :04:10. | |
from Craig Samson. That is his first at Tynecastle. Walker is there | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
:04:20. | :04:23. | ||
again. He has done it again and now he is going to go himself. Good play | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
from Jamie Walker. Up and over the top and the referee says it is a | :04:30. | :04:39. | |
free kick. That is a Sorbonne! He will go with the strike and Hearts | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
:04:49. | :04:59. | ||
are two ahead. I goal for Kevin McHattie. He gets the break and it | :04:59. | :05:09. | |
:05:09. | :05:14. | ||
is a good save by Jamie MacDonald. This is better from Saint Mirren. It | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
is knocked out wide. Play on says the referee. Steven Thompson is | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
:05:33. | :05:36. | ||
furious. The question is was there at tug? It is off the line and away. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
Steven Thompson continues to complain but his side are almost | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
back in the match. He talks too welcome but he talks too often for | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
:05:57. | :06:09. | ||
the referee's liking and it is a card. Coming through the middle and | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
it is a penalty. It was Kenny Maclean with a challenge. Saint | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
Byrne are furious. If that is a goalscoring opportunity, Kenny | :06:20. | :06:30. | |
:06:30. | :06:31. | ||
Maclean will see red. Injury time for Saint Mirren. His first goal in | :06:31. | :06:41. | |
:06:41. | :06:55. | ||
almost 14 months. Hearts go three ahead after 54 minutes. Paul McGann | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
one tries to get away and it is good save I Jamie Hamill. -- Paul McGann | :07:02. | :07:11. | |
:07:12. | :07:22. | ||
one. Adam Barr was there. Here is a chance for Walker. Forces a book | :07:22. | :07:32. | |
:07:32. | :07:40. | ||
from Craig Samson. -- forces a save. It is Jamie Hamill who gets | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
across. Good work from Steven across. Good work from Steven | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
Thompson. Dundee were handed the chance for a | :07:56. | :08:05. | |
great escape bid and they had to great escape bid and they had to | :08:05. | :08:12. | |
great escape bid and they had to meet Aberdeen at dens Park. | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
Nicely through and it is deflected! They were desperate for the opening | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
goal and they have it through Jim McAllister. A lovely piece of | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
playing. Take and pass to Jamie Langfield. But the first time this | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
season, Dundee have the lead against Aberdeen. Not a great ball and | :08:41. | :08:48. | |
McAllister closes him down. A chance for Gary Harkins. The save from | :08:48. | :08:58. | |
:08:58. | :09:03. | ||
Jamie Langfield. They scramble to get it clear. Gary Harkins would | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
:09:13. | :09:19. | ||
normally tuck them away. It is a good ball into the middle. The ball | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
:09:29. | :09:35. | ||
is deflected and comes up... Good save! That took horrible bounce up. | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
Ballon was there and McBride was on the ground, trying to get it away. | :09:41. | :09:49. | |
It was a wicked deflection off the ground. Gary Harkins, that is | :09:49. | :09:58. | |
superb. The ball comes through. It was a delightful touch from Gary | :09:58. | :10:08. | |
:10:08. | :10:13. | ||
Harkins and came off use. Dundee are attacking again. The referee was | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
close. He said no penalty. The Dundee players continued to appeal. | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
Jim McAllister felt it was a penalty. It was driven into the box | :10:24. | :10:32. | |
and Osborne came across. They did not look to be much in it. -- there | :10:32. | :10:42. | |
:10:42. | :10:44. | ||
did not look. It comes on to Peter Pawlett the corner and is just wide. | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
Excellent play from Peter Pawlett. Just turned away and fired the shot | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
in. It has made a difference. The ball is into the middle and -- and | :11:00. | :11:08. | |
Dundee have one man down. The flag is up. He is being comforted by | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
Lewis Toshney. Rory Fallon is being called over and he is about to see | :11:14. | :11:22. | |
red. It is an off the ball incident. Dundee's man was felled and Rory | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Fallon made no complaint about going off. Dundee's men have responded | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
well. The ball is turned away and Peter Pawlett goes after it. That is | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
a dive and it is a penalty. Alan Muir has pointed to the spot. Alan | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
Muir has got but well -- got that wrong. Peter Pawlett seemed to come | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
up and over. Aberdeen have a penalty and Dundee will be distraught. From | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
the penalty spot, scores! Aberdeen are level and the ten men have come | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
back. He rushes across and tolerance the Dundee fans. One or two are | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
trying to come onto the pitch. The stewards are rushing across. He | :12:14. | :12:24. | |
:12:24. | :12:25. | ||
deservedly gets a yellow card. McBride plays to Lockwood and puts | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
the ball into the middle. There is too much in it. Dundee continued to | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
play into the middle. Brian Easton comes across and sets it up but stop | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
McAllister with header. That is a great save from Jamie Langfield. | :12:43. | :12:53. | |
:12:53. | :12:56. | ||
Good played brand Dundee. The ball was cleared. -- good lay by Dundee. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
The referee walks up and picks up the ball and there is the full-time | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
whistle. It has been one season in the SPL and the players are not | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
happy with the officials. The penalty decision has hurt but they | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
have early-season form to blame for have early-season form to blame for | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
:13:27. | :13:29. | ||
have early-season form to blame for exiting the SPL. | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
John Brown has done an incredible job since taking over at Dundee. He | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
has galvanised the players. There are born has been incredible and it | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
is a shame that with two games left, they have hit an iceberg! | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
has kept his powder dry a long time for that, haven't you? You have been | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
player and assistant manager at Dundee? How big a blow is this to | :13:59. | :14:07. | |
them? What league will they be in? He probably knew his team at some | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
point were going to go down, even after they have that fantastic fight | :14:12. | :14:21. | |
nearly to the end. There is no doubt why he cited, he knows it is the | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
difference between 50 grand and 300 grand, and it could be massacre. | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
They put up as show. They nearly pulled it off. Scott Gardner must be | :14:32. | :14:41. | |
gutted tonight. How does that feel when this is the incident which | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
sends you back to the first division? John Brown has a right to | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
be furious. It is cheating. It is a blatant dive. I wonder if the | :14:52. | :15:00. | |
referee from his angle, it might have been slightly different? | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
should be embarrassed watching that, the young lad. He has got to stop | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
it. It has happened time and again this season and that one will be | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
highlighted because that is the one that has effectively sent Dundee | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
down. Peter Pawlett has previous convictions, because here they are! | :15:20. | :15:27. | |
Both for Aberdeen and St Johnstone. It is the same technique, isn't it? | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
It is like he is being fired out other Canon. If you do at once, | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
there are not. It is as if he is diving into a swimming pool. It is | :15:39. | :15:49. | |
:15:49. | :16:02. | ||
premeditated. It is something he No matter where the referee and a | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
sister and Wear, was it not fairly obvious? We did not have a camera | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
angle for where the referee was but we do not have a defence. At the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
end of the day it was pretty embarrassing for him. At times we | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
have blamed it on foreign players bringing bad different football | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
culture to our country, we cannot do that in this case. It has not | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
been evident for years. I cannot remember anybody I have played with. | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
The good thing is, he is young but he has got style. He has got great | :16:43. | :16:50. | |
place. -- great pace. Everybody knows his style now. He has got a | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
chance, he is a good young player. That was not clever from Peter | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
Pawlett, I suppose it worked. This was not too smart from Niall McGinn | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
to run to the Dundee fans after scoring. Especially with the | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
magnitude of the game and what it meant. His own fans are behind the | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
goal he scored end. It was a stupid thing to do and he was right to get | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
booked. He is mad going beer. He is a lovely guy though I do not know | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
if he had been getting pilfers from that end. My advice to him is if he | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
ever plays at Dens Park again not to go near that end. A bad decision, | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
a diabolical decision that cost than D two D. It is not all terms | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
of that. It is about making disaster is defensive mistakes. | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
That left them in a position. damage was done in the first half | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
of be season. It took them a while to adjust to the SPL. Defensively | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
they were poor. They were disorganised at times. They started | :18:17. | :18:26. | |
a 4-4-2. At times 4-4-1. Then they were open at the back. John Brown | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
found them a personnel and a sheep. Defenders kept them solid. It was | :18:34. | :18:41. | |
too little, too late. It is relief for you, of course. I had not given | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
it a lot of thought but it was in the forefront of my mind that be | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
were now at having a problem a. What has gone wrong in the last | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
couple of months? In the last few games we had been poor. We played | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
well and had a series of draws. We have been inconsistent. We should | :19:05. | :19:12. | |
have been around the top six. We just do not have consistency. When | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
we are on top in a game we do not close the game out. This is | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
something that the manager and Tommy Craig will look at over the | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
summer and will address. We need to correct that going into next season. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
How good was Jamie Walker, aged 19? How good was Jamie Walker, aged 19? | :19:37. | :19:43. | |
I was very impressed by him. He has got real pace. This is a goal | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
caused by ourselves. He is taking too long on the ball. He is so far | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
out he wins the ball. He drives. He comes too far. It is that | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
magnificent finish. Here I think David thinks it will go out. I do | :20:05. | :20:12. | |
not think he is the air. His pace takes him into the area. He tries | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
to go near post. It is a good save from Sammy. Hearts, at a time when | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
they have a dark cloud over them financially, have an awful lot to | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
be pleased with going forward. Stephen mentioned Kevin McCarthy, | :20:32. | :20:41. | |
another 19-year-old who scored this free kick. He should have held his | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
hands up and he might have saved it. We at the position he gets into | :20:48. | :20:58. | |
:20:58. | :21:04. | ||
here. Kenny was 100% sure he touched the ball, as was Sammy. | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
From this angle I think he touched the ball. The challenge looks | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
clumsy. I can see why the referee has given it. I think it might not | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
have been a penalty. Would that be an appeal? A They might appeal I | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
think in terms of the season being over the might not. Could there be | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
an assault charge for this challenge on UWE which went | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
unpunished? At the time I got booked for protesting and that was | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
wrong of me for going over the top but it is a blatant penalty, I was | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
furious. It is so obvious. There is a lot of guiding in this programme | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
tonight! Come on!That is certainly not one of them. I think you were | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
unlucky not to get a penalty. furious. Inverness Caley Thistle | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
were working on the basis they would have to beat Motherwell. It | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
:22:20. | :22:23. | ||
was some game, plenty action for Al La Moneda. -- Alistair last month. | :22:23. | :22:33. | |
:22:33. | :22:40. | ||
Thistle here early on. It will be The AM shinny. A poor effort though | :22:40. | :22:49. | |
from him. There is Billy McKay to pork it into the net. Only three | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
minutes in and Calais this will have made the breakthrough. -- | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
:23:06. | :23:10. | ||
Caley Thistle. There was the predatory Mackay. Almost a second | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
for Caledonian Thistle. What a start they have made to this game. | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
Motherwell have had it all their own way against Caledonian Thistle | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:30. | ||
this season, it is not looking that way this time around. Shot! It is a | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
second goal for Caledonian Thistle and it is Andrew Shinnie somehow | :23:34. | :23:43. | |
managing to get the shot in. Caledonian Thistle have that two- | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
goal cushion. Caledonian Thistle certainly have their tails up now. | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
There is that I again. Unbelievably, Caley Thistle gawk two goals up. | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
Two goals in the space of about three minutes in the home side. | :24:02. | :24:12. | |
:24:12. | :24:13. | ||
Heatley. McFadden. Motherwell have a goal back. Big fat and does not | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
:24:23. | :24:28. | ||
need asking twice to take aim at from that kind of distance. It is a | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
penalty kick. Motherwell have a chance to get themselves right back | :24:34. | :24:42. | |
into this game. Michael Higdon against Antonio Romero. No surprise. | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
Michael Higdon comes out on top. That is the 20th for the season for | :24:48. | :24:58. | |
the striker. It falls for or ya map. This time the decision goes Caley | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
Thistle's way. A booking for simulation. No real complaints from | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
:25:14. | :25:19. | ||
the Estonian. He then, bringing law into it. That was lovely football | :25:19. | :25:29. | |
:25:29. | :25:31. | ||
from Motherwell. Godden has a 360. Forward goes Nick Ross. Down he | :25:31. | :25:41. | |
:25:41. | :25:43. | ||
goes and a penalty is given. There is not a great deal in that. Billy | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
McKay for the hat-trick. Denied! A rueful shake of the head. It was | :25:50. | :26:00. | |
:26:00. | :26:04. | ||
not a good penalty from Billy McKay. Andrew Shinnie. Make that then! And | :26:04. | :26:14. | |
:26:14. | :26:14. | ||
Motherwell has come back. They are level from three goals down. | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
Tremendous fightback from Motherwell. Billy McKay. Through on | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
:26:33. | :26:37. | ||
goal. Shone Hutchison did just enough to put him off to hear. That | :26:37. | :26:45. | |
is ahead the touch. He is going to call off here. As second yellow | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
card and an inevitable red. Motherwell down to ten men. The it | :26:55. | :27:03. | |
was an obvious and easy decision for Willie Collum. And he kicks. | :27:03. | :27:13. | |
:27:13. | :27:14. | ||
Randolph parries. There is no carry. -- Billy McKay. Motherwell claims | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
for offside but they are in been. We have been talking Scottish PFA | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
awards tonight, how is Billy McKay feeling about not been nominated? | :27:26. | :27:33. | |
That is 20 goals for the season. This guide scores mostly from in | :27:33. | :27:41. | |
the box but even more of them in the six-yard box. It is incredible. | :27:41. | :27:50. | |
I had no pace. That is the first time that has ever been said. This | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
guy is a natural. He is a predator. Always in the right place at the | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
right time. What a transformation in a player. There were times he | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
could not hit a barn door. He goes into every match thinking he will | :28:08. | :28:18. | |
:28:18. | :28:22. | ||
score. Just two or three yards movement gives in the space. Diving | :28:22. | :28:32. | |
:28:32. | :28:40. | ||
is a recurring theme in the show. That was a similar thing or Pollock. | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
This one is a silly lunch. If you are on a yellow you do not go for | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
that tackle. You do not go near it. That is the type of player he is. | :28:52. | :28:58. | |
He is always trying to make tackles and he works very hard but it is a | :28:58. | :29:06. | |
definite sending off. Two penalties given, both OF collapsible legs? | :29:07. | :29:16. | |
:29:17. | :29:18. | ||
think so. It is just too easy. The defender has to try and stay away. | :29:18. | :29:28. | |
:29:28. | :29:28. | ||
It is collapsible legs before the player gets to them. He falls to | :29:28. | :29:34. | |
the ground without any great contact. I do not think either of | :29:34. | :29:41. | |
them have penalties. Just a quick word about diving. Refereed | :29:41. | :29:46. | |
decisions get criticised regularly on a Sunday night, usually rightly | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
so but players behaving like that do not help. I have not been aware | :29:51. | :29:56. | |
of it as a player. It is not something I would have highlighted | :29:56. | :30:05. | |
myself. This week we have had a couple. Perhaps it is creeping into | :30:05. | :30:09. | |
the game a little bit but it is something we do not want. Players | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
have got to take most of the blame, the referees have to take a little | :30:14. | :30:24. | |
:30:24. | :30:35. | ||
bit of the blame. St Johnstone kept St Johnstone When at Tannadice. | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
Early on it looked as though Dundee United were keen to make them wait | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
longer. You get the feeling here that Armstrong felt he should have | :30:45. | :30:49. | |
done better. With hopes of European football next season since Johnston | :30:50. | :30:59. | |
:31:00. | :31:04. | ||
felt they could not afford any problems. Et hic off Bryan | :31:04. | :31:14. | |
:31:14. | :31:34. | ||
MacLean's arm but the referee was coming into this game. One goal up | :31:34. | :31:36. | |
coming into this game. One goal up coming into this game. One goal up | :31:36. | :31:45. | |
their pressed forward. Davidson's ball to fine resulted in an effort | :31:45. | :31:55. | |
:31:55. | :31:55. | ||
that needed a smart save. The ball certainly was goal bound and the | :31:55. | :32:01. | |
Dundee United keeper made a great save. From the resulting corner, | :32:01. | :32:09. | |
defender Sean Dillon and Fraser Wright tangled. The home side could | :32:09. | :32:17. | |
breathe easy again. Another attack was quick to follow but it was met | :32:17. | :32:27. | |
:32:27. | :32:29. | ||
with more resistance. The shot from Stephen Maclean was blocked. I won | :32:29. | :32:35. | |
five and zero when it was with St Johnstone just a point of third | :32:35. | :32:45. | |
:32:45. | :32:45. | ||
Johnstone just a point of third spot. Next they made Celtic. Another | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
part in the back due for St Johnstone for that result. It looks | :32:49. | :32:56. | |
like Inverness against St Johnstone, but do not count on it. You would | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
think that looking at the fixtures. You think they could take care of | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
that but St Johnstone, after yesterday's performance, what they | :33:06. | :33:11. | |
did was knock your socks off. The way they celebrated at the end, they | :33:11. | :33:18. | |
want this European spot so badly. Steve Lomas with the team behind, | :33:18. | :33:24. | |
the team did the business for him yesterday. Jacking McNamara was not | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
celebrating because his team's season looks as if it is telling but | :33:28. | :33:35. | |
the moment? He is talking about making big changes. -- Jackie | :33:35. | :33:44. | |
McNamara. He had a makeshift act for yesterday. He has been talking about | :33:44. | :33:54. | |
:33:54. | :33:58. | ||
making changes. -- makeshift back four. It is the financial side at | :33:58. | :34:03. | |
Dundee United. It is all right talking making changes. Can they go | :34:03. | :34:10. | |
out and buy as many as Jackie once? Celtic's season is all about Hampden | :34:10. | :34:15. | |
and trying to rub up the league and Scottish Cup double. They were on a | :34:15. | :34:19. | |
revenge mission at Dingwall today, having only taken a point there. | :34:19. | :34:27. | |
having only taken a point there. having only taken a point there. | :34:27. | :34:34. | |
They played Ross County. Ross | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
Ross County are trying to catch Inverness Caledonian Thistle in | :34:36. | :34:42. | |
Inverness Caledonian Thistle in third place. It was a needless | :34:43. | :34:52. | |
concession of a corner. Kris Commons will deliver. Celtic have the early | :34:52. | :35:02. | |
:35:02. | :35:15. | ||
advantage. Appeals for a penalty. Michael Fraser pushes it away and | :35:15. | :35:25. | |
:35:25. | :35:26. | ||
there is no Celtic player on hand. A good combination there. On another | :35:26. | :35:34. | |
day that might have ended up in the back of the net. Headed away by | :35:34. | :35:44. | |
:35:44. | :35:46. | ||
Wilson. Pressure being kept on the Celtic backline. There is a man down | :35:46. | :35:51. | |
in the penalty area and it will be a free kick. Britain is down and we | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
can see him being grappled to the ground by Wilson. It might have been | :35:55. | :36:01. | |
a penalty at the referee had spotted it. As it is, it is just a free | :36:01. | :36:11. | |
:36:11. | :36:16. | ||
kick. It will be a free kick to Celtic. Good save by the goalkeeper. | :36:16. | :36:22. | |
Ross County are still on the search for an equaliser. Taken down by | :36:22. | :36:29. | |
Ambrose just outside the box. Not too much doubt about that. Richard | :36:29. | :36:37. | |
written can happen from here. What a strike by Ian Vipers to draw Ross | :36:37. | :36:47. | |
:36:47. | :36:54. | ||
County level. -- Ian bikers. Ian bikers draws Ross County level. Paul | :36:55. | :37:04. | |
:37:05. | :37:09. | ||
Lawson to deliver the corner kick. Back out to Lawson again. Just | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
behind for a goal kick in the end. Some uncertainty in the Celtic | :37:13. | :37:23. | |
:37:23. | :37:33. | ||
defence. It is not going to camp though, the assistant on the far | :37:33. | :37:43. | |
:37:43. | :37:52. | ||
side has his flag raised. -- it is not going to count. Fraser decides | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
to flick that around the post, he is taking no chances on this dodgy | :37:56. | :38:05. | |
surface. Derek Adams is perhaps surprisingly not among the | :38:05. | :38:12. | |
nominations for Manager of the Year. Ambrose claims the goal. It remains | :38:12. | :38:22. | |
:38:22. | :38:32. | ||
level. Richard Brittain was the man on the line. The man who won the | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
match the last time the sides met here should have put Ross County in | :38:35. | :38:45. | |
:38:45. | :38:50. | ||
front. That is a lovely ball. He could not quite get there. Another | :38:50. | :38:55. | |
chance goes begging for Ross County. A point may not be enough to help | :38:55. | :39:05. | |
them reach that European spot. A deep corner kick. Stokes just dumps | :39:05. | :39:11. | |
it clear. It is picked up by Lawson. He sets his sights on goal. | :39:11. | :39:20. | |
That was not too far away. If that had hit the back of the net, 20 of | :39:20. | :39:27. | |
had hit the back of the net, 20 of them behind that. Ross County are | :39:27. | :39:33. | |
still unbeaten against the champions. Ian bikers is out of | :39:33. | :39:40. | |
contract now. Her next? There will be a lot of odds -- a lot of clubs | :39:40. | :39:48. | |
looking at him. He is a talented player with a lovely left foot. | :39:48. | :39:55. | |
There is not much wrong with his right! He is at talented player. | :39:55. | :40:01. | |
seems have grown into the Scottish Premier League. He is so cultured. | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
This was his best goal and I saw him set up a goal against Dundee and | :40:07. | :40:14. | |
took Ivan Sproule just to knock it into the post. He is growing as a | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
player and will he still be there? He is out of contract so he could be | :40:19. | :40:28. | |
another one that they lose at the end of the season. They might have | :40:28. | :40:34. | |
been out of the reckoning completely in Europe. This was a prior decision | :40:34. | :40:40. | |
from the linesman. It is a perfect gold. Neil Lennon will be furious | :40:40. | :40:50. | |
:40:50. | :40:52. | ||
with that decision. -- it would assist in. There was a tragic | :40:52. | :40:57. | |
incident at Rugby Park which led to the match there being abandoned. | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
Camargue season-ticket holder was taken to hospital with a suspected | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
heart attack and sadly been used in night is that he has died. Football | :41:05. | :41:09. | |
has become an irrelevance within the greater scheme of things and our | :41:09. | :41:17. | |
thoughts are his family tonight. We wrap up the awards ceremony tonight | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
and the manager award went to Allan Johnston of Queen of the South. | :41:20. | :41:29. | |
Young layer of the year is Hebburn Ian Snipe -- striker Lee Griffiths. | :41:29. | :41:39. | |
:41:39. | :41:40. | ||
-- Hebburn Ian striker. He is a top player and deserves it. He was in | :41:40. | :41:50. | |
:41:50. | :41:51. | ||
the frame for the main award. Michael Higdon is a very intelligent | :41:52. | :41:56. | |
player and he is pivotal to the way that Motherwell played. I would not | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
mind seeing them as a partnership, the two of them. They have one | :42:00. | :42:05. | |
respected Player of the Year spot both of them are candidates... Sorry | :42:06. | :42:11. | |
Griffiths, was a candidate or both and was unlucky not to win both. | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
main award tonight or about scoring goals and it is unusual, when you | :42:16. | :42:21. | |
look at the Scottish Premier League scoring charts, to see no Celtic or | :42:21. | :42:28. | |
Rangers players. Gary Hooper has not made it into the top four. It is | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
testament to the quality of play this year. There has been a lot of | :42:33. | :42:42. | |
entertainment and that shows you. You will go back a long way before | :42:43. | :42:49. | |
you see that again. We had a go at Niall McGinn for his goal | :42:49. | :42:57. | |
celebration today but he deserves a big pat on the back. It just shows | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
you the consistency of the strikers this year, to get as many goals as | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
they have done and the way they go about it. The strikes from Mackay | :43:06. | :43:14. | |
and Griffiths. Higdon's game awareness has come on as well. It | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
could have been any one of them. It is unusual not to see a Celtic or | :43:19. | :43:27. | |
Rangers players there. Let us have a look at the Premier League before we | :43:27. | :43:37. | |
:43:37. | :43:43. | ||
go. Inverness are front runners for that third spot. Dundee's resistance | :43:43. | :43:51. | |
at the bottom has been broken. They will make a return trip to the first | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
division on this is restructuring during the summer. These are the | :43:54. | :44:04. | |
:44:04. | :44:13. |
