0:00:40 > 0:00:48Good evening. A record-breaking programme tonight, all the action
0:00:48 > 0:00:52from the Ladbrokes Premiership and dedication in abundance from these
0:00:52 > 0:00:56two, believe it or not, Steven Michael with us, to try and make
0:00:56 > 0:01:00sense of the never-ending Scottish football story. We start with St
0:01:00 > 0:01:12Johnstone against Celtic. Remembrance Sunday week today. With
0:01:12 > 0:01:15no matches next weekend, and minute's silence held before this
0:01:15 > 0:01:19match and others across Scotland.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37WHISTLE
0:01:41 > 0:01:53And injure -- injury ravaged St Johnstone. Brendan Rodgers has been
0:01:53 > 0:01:58known to shake things up for the occasional league match but he's got
0:01:58 > 0:02:02a side that started against Bayern Munich in the Champions League
0:02:02 > 0:02:06midweek. Moussa Dembele hit a hat-trick in his last visit here.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12This scene Celtic's last domestic defeat. The champions made short
0:02:12 > 0:02:20work of St Johnstone here last season. Here is Dembele. Winning
0:02:20 > 0:02:25that treble in a 5-2 victory on their last trip here. One of them
0:02:25 > 0:02:31was a goal of the season contender. Dembele from Tierney. Scott
0:02:31 > 0:02:40Sinclair. Nice little pirouettes. He has hit back from Dembele. Clarke
0:02:40 > 0:02:44helped snuff it out. Beautiful play between Scott Sinclair and Moussa
0:02:44 > 0:02:51Dembele. Saints on a run of just one win in nine games and it doesn't get
0:02:51 > 0:02:55any easier for them. This perhaps not the fixture they would have
0:02:55 > 0:03:01liked to get back on track. Scott Sinclair Aragon. Celtic beginning to
0:03:01 > 0:03:08pepper Zander Clark's goal. Good movement by James Forrest. Got it
0:03:08 > 0:03:12back from McGregor. Sinckler's effort, smothered. Boyatta getting
0:03:12 > 0:03:24it through to Armstrong. It goes over at the expense of a corner. His
0:03:24 > 0:03:30former Dundee United team-mate, Armstrong, lobbed it in. It is a low
0:03:30 > 0:03:33one and it is 1-0 Celtic!
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Well, cleverly worked by Stuart Armstrong and finished by Scott
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Sinclair, his 11 of the season. Tommy Wright will not be happy with
0:03:45 > 0:03:49the ease with which Celtic have been able to take the lead here. Joy for
0:03:49 > 0:03:58Sinclair. Celtic eyeing up that record, which this team said 100
0:03:58 > 0:04:06years ago. You wouldn't be betting against them now. Here is Armstrong.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Once on himself, and Zander Clark knocks it behind for another corner.
0:04:11 > 0:04:18-- he wants on himself. He's attempt by Armstrong, hoping to impress the
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Scotland interim coach, Malky Mackay, watching an ahead of the
0:04:21 > 0:04:27Netherlands game. Craig Gordon gathers, eventually. Not easy for
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Craig Gordon in this first half. The sunshine causing problems.
0:04:36 > 0:04:42Celtic's last defeat, 543 days ago right here, before Brendan Rodgers
0:04:42 > 0:04:51took over. Knocked off the line by Aaron Comrie. The header from
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Boyata.
0:04:55 > 0:05:02WHISTLE Paul Payton and Scott Brown
0:05:02 > 0:05:07clashing. That will be a yellow card for the Saints man. Bobby Madden was
0:05:07 > 0:05:18in a good position to see this. He clattered into him. Here the Saints.
0:05:18 > 0:05:26A rare foray forward. Foster's header. They got a good 1-1 draw at
0:05:26 > 0:05:30Celtic Park, could have won that game in August. Saints haven't
0:05:30 > 0:05:35scored a goal since the 23rd of September against Hamilton, in their
0:05:35 > 0:05:42last win. Tierney. Armstrong. Dembele! That is brilliant!
0:05:42 > 0:05:48Sometimes there is just no answer. When Celtic want to turn it on, as
0:05:48 > 0:05:56they did there. Tierney to Armstrong, to Dembele. 2-0. And
0:05:56 > 0:06:03another record is about to go. This team played two games in one day in
0:06:03 > 0:06:16their run of 62. Celtic heading for 63. Dembele. Gone off Anderson. No
0:06:16 > 0:06:20doubt about where the points are going, and what the headlines will
0:06:20 > 0:06:23scream in the morning.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31They have set so many benchmarks last season, Celtic, and continuing
0:06:31 > 0:06:40to surpass beyond Brendan Rodgers's wildest expectations when he took
0:06:40 > 0:06:51the job. Dembele, Scott Sinclair, Dembele... Ntcham. Number four.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56They've arguably saved the best for last. If you're going to break the
0:06:56 > 0:07:01century-old record, you may as well do it with a moment of brilliance
0:07:01 > 0:07:08like that. A fabulous goal to write things for the champions.It means
0:07:08 > 0:07:13everything, and incredible feat by the players and a wonderful example
0:07:13 > 0:07:17of professionalism, of playing and creating high standards every single
0:07:17 > 0:07:20day, and we faced everything, they faced everything as football
0:07:20 > 0:07:24players.They've got better players, better all over the park and I can't
0:07:24 > 0:07:29be too critical of my players. Did they work hard enough for me, did
0:07:29 > 0:07:34they give everything? I think they did. We probably lacked that... A
0:07:34 > 0:07:38couple of good opportunities in the second half where the final pass let
0:07:38 > 0:07:44us down, and that has been happening when we've been dominant in games as
0:07:44 > 0:07:48well, against other teams. We still have to rectify that.It's huge for
0:07:48 > 0:07:52the club, for the lads, for everyone to be perfectly honest throughout
0:07:52 > 0:07:55the club, and how hard everyone has worked together since the gaffer
0:07:55 > 0:07:58came in. I don't think in wildest dreams we could believe this would
0:07:58 > 0:08:06happen.How much further can you go? Myself?Yourself on the squad?I
0:08:06 > 0:08:10feel just as fit as I ever have done, 32, coming up to 33 in the
0:08:10 > 0:08:14summer and I want to push it as long as I can.In terms of the unbeaten
0:08:14 > 0:08:22run, how far can you go?One game at a time, it's an old cliche but it
0:08:22 > 0:08:25has to be done. You take your eye off the ball for a minute and you
0:08:25 > 0:08:28don't know what can happen. It was hard coming here, the pitch made it
0:08:28 > 0:08:31difficult as well, but we've played football the best we possibly could
0:08:31 > 0:08:35do on the pitch.Huge congratulations to Celtic. They
0:08:35 > 0:08:40equalled the record last weekend and break it this weekend. The question
0:08:40 > 0:08:49now is what next for Brendan Rodgers' invincible is?A good
0:08:49 > 0:08:53question... A double trouble? Ten in a row.A remarkable record.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59Undefeated all season.Something will happen, they'll lose against
0:08:59 > 0:09:03applying will beat them? I don't know.There are no circumstances
0:09:03 > 0:09:10they haven't looked at...I'm not trying to downplay it in anyway, I'm
0:09:10 > 0:09:13saying it's an amazing achievement. To have those levels of consistency
0:09:13 > 0:09:13are incredible.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15To have those levels of consistency are incredible.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16To have those levels of consistency are incredible.I don't understand
0:09:16 > 0:09:20where you see Celtic losing this season, domestically.Scott Brown
0:09:20 > 0:09:23was talking about taking their eye off the ball, if they don't do that,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27they might do it this season. There's no evidence they are going
0:09:27 > 0:09:32to do that!I know, just speculating.No letup from Celtic
0:09:32 > 0:09:39yesterday Michael, you were there?A wonderful performance from Celtic. A
0:09:39 > 0:09:42training ground goal.Brilliant goal, look at the block here from
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Boyata.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46goal, look at the block here from Boyata. Referees are letting these
0:09:46 > 0:09:50go a lot these days. For me this is a foul on
0:09:50 > 0:09:50go a lot these days. For me this is a foul on.
0:09:50 > 0:09:57Two handed push but away nothing from the goal. The goals had a lot
0:09:57 > 0:10:01of quality about them, around the corner from Dembele and look at them
0:10:01 > 0:10:05burn off Anderson. The desire to get in the box. He had a really good
0:10:05 > 0:10:08game yesterday, Dembele. A lovely one touch finish. If you look at
0:10:08 > 0:10:14Stuart Armstrong's contribution for the goal as well, you wonder why St
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Johnstone and winning games... Look at his desire to overlap Kieran
0:10:18 > 0:10:23Tierney here. He's 22 yards ahead when he crosses it for the goal.
0:10:23 > 0:10:31Celtic were devastating. This goal is up there. Look at this, lovely
0:10:31 > 0:10:35one touch bubble. You have to get closer to him. Take nothing away
0:10:35 > 0:10:38from him, a decent finish and a well-deserved victory for Celtic.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Michael,
0:10:39 > 0:10:40well-deserved victory for Celtic. Michael, down
0:10:40 > 0:10:42well-deserved victory for Celtic. Michael, down the left-hand side...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Down the left-hand side, Celtic were phenomenal yesterday, but you have
0:10:45 > 0:10:50to give a lot of credit to the manager. That linkup between Aaron
0:10:50 > 0:10:58Comrie and Scott Sinclair. The space left by the right. Aaron Comrie and
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Foster, the combination they had against Celtic at Celtic Park.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Again, Stuart Armstrong getting into the gap that is left by Scott
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Sinclair drifting inside. That leads to the goal, back corner kick.
0:11:08 > 0:11:13Again, Aaron Comrie and Sinclair out of position. Tierney
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Again, Aaron Comrie and Sinclair out of position. Tierney against Boston.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Those two did so well at Celtic Park, look at the movement from
0:11:17 > 0:11:24Dembele, to drag Anderson away. The reason I'm saying that is good play
0:11:24 > 0:11:28from Brendan Rodgers, they did so well at Celtic Park nullifying them,
0:11:28 > 0:11:34but they got in other players exploiting the gap. This is Dembele
0:11:34 > 0:11:41getting a strike off. Stewart Armstrong pulling in the gap, Scott
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Sinclair... Again, Scott Sinclair dragging Aaron Comrie in fielding
0:11:45 > 0:11:53getting Dembele on a one-on-one. Great play from the players to
0:11:53 > 0:11:57execute on the part, but Brendan Rodgers will have seen what St
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Johnstone did to them at Celtic Park and found another way to go and
0:12:00 > 0:12:04exploit the gap that they were creating.Steven is having about 104
0:12:04 > 0:12:05exploit the gap that they were creating.Steven is having about 104
0:12:05 > 0:12:06is the world record.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10creating.Steven is having about 104 is the world record. Can Celtic
0:12:10 > 0:12:14break that?Why not? When you talk about what's next for this team and
0:12:14 > 0:12:18The Invincibles they have put together, the run they have so far,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21it's things like that that you aim for. But to do that, Scott Brown
0:12:21 > 0:12:32says, you have to take it in bite-size bites.546 matches, some
0:12:32 > 0:12:37record.This was a combination of what I thought was a bit slack in
0:12:37 > 0:12:37defence from
0:12:37 > 0:12:40what I thought was a bit slack in defence from Celtic. This is
0:12:40 > 0:12:44probably the best move from St Johnstone. It was a combination of
0:12:44 > 0:12:49good play from... Sorry, not being able to finish off the opportunities
0:12:49 > 0:12:54that were passed up or given to them by Celtic. Again here, Steven
0:12:54 > 0:13:03Maclean, he allowed it to roll out for a corner. Look at the slack play
0:13:03 > 0:13:10from McGregor. Again, trying to have a quick pop shot. And this pass back
0:13:10 > 0:13:17from Nir Biton, he's not thankful for that. There's no real desire,
0:13:17 > 0:13:22there's no real belief from St Johnstone. That they're going to go
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and do something. Celtic and said, with a bit slack of times but the
0:13:25 > 0:13:29way we will get away with it is St Johnstone don't look like they're
0:13:29 > 0:13:32going to go and score a goal at the moment.Heaps away when they come
0:13:32 > 0:13:33back from the international break.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35moment.Heaps away when they come back from the international break.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36It
0:13:36 > 0:13:37back from the international break. It doesn't get any easier, they've
0:13:37 > 0:13:40lost six of the last eight games, the international break comes at a
0:13:40 > 0:13:45good time for them.Hamilton next and they are without a win in their
0:13:45 > 0:13:52last five home games. Dennis McGinnis's side looking to keep the
0:13:52 > 0:13:55pressure on Celtic at the top of the table.
0:13:58 > 0:14:08A couple of changes from the 3-1 win against Dundee. Aberdeen, just one
0:14:08 > 0:14:13change from the win over Ross County, Gary Mackay-Steven replacing
0:14:13 > 0:14:20Wright. Aberdeen captain Graeme Shinnie plays the ball up toward
0:14:20 > 0:14:25Stevie May. Christie has lost it. David Templeton taken down right on
0:14:25 > 0:14:32the edge of the box by Scott McKenna. This is a really good
0:14:32 > 0:14:37opportunity for Hamilton Academical just outside the box. Templeton...
0:14:37 > 0:14:46What a finish from Imrie. Hamilton have the lead! Tremendous free kick
0:14:46 > 0:14:58from the skipper. A slight nudge and Lewis couldn't reach it.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Doherty, looking for Templeton... He has found him! And he could not lift
0:15:04 > 0:15:13it over. The outstretched arm of Joe Lewis. The Aberdeen keeper prevents
0:15:13 > 0:15:22his team from going two behind. It's a really good tussle... He comes out
0:15:22 > 0:15:27on top, and it's Doherty, picking out the cross... Templeton! What a
0:15:27 > 0:15:35chance for Hamilton Accies's second. David Templeton, for the second time
0:15:35 > 0:15:47in the match, passing up the opportunity. Shinnie picking up...
0:15:47 > 0:15:51On goal, lifting it over the goalkeeper, and Aberdeen have the
0:15:51 > 0:15:56equaliser! It is Greg Stewart's first league goal for Aberdeen, and
0:15:56 > 0:16:03what a timely one it is. A cute finish from the former Dundee man.
0:16:03 > 0:16:12The Guinness's side on level terms again. A scramble in the penalty
0:16:12 > 0:16:16area... Hamilton Accies pleading for the ball. Nothing is given by the
0:16:16 > 0:16:24referee, Nick Walsh. A better view of it here. It's Arnason, trying to
0:16:24 > 0:16:30clear. It hits his arm but you cannot give those. Graeme Shinnie...
0:16:30 > 0:16:39He almost picked out Che Logan. -- he almost picked out Shaleum Logan
0:16:39 > 0:16:44but he couldn't get anything on the cross here. Well picked out by
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Graeme Shinnie, Logan should score here... Stevie May, to take the
0:16:48 > 0:16:54corner kick. Arnason met it, you feel he should have hit the target.
0:16:54 > 0:17:01Just getting underneath this one. The Icelandic defender. Stevie May
0:17:01 > 0:17:09with a delivery... Greg Stewart, and it's a good save from Wurz, almost
0:17:09 > 0:17:18Greg Stewart's second of the game. Stevie May sends in a delivery.
0:17:18 > 0:17:29Hamilton can break here. Templeton racing away, he is on the pass of
0:17:29 > 0:17:35Antonio Rojano. Templeton goes for the goal and drags it wide. He's had
0:17:35 > 0:17:39chances today, Templeton. He has been lively but he hasn't found the
0:17:39 > 0:17:52net. Greg Doherty threads at three... Darren Ryan! It goes
0:17:52 > 0:18:01against him. A more wily player may have found a way to go down there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:08The site have only dropped points once on the road this season.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Arnason metes out and puts Aberdeen in front for the first time in the
0:18:12 > 0:18:19game. Gary Woods covering himself in glory here, as Arnason met with the
0:18:19 > 0:18:31header. After all that hard work, Hamilton find themselves behind. The
0:18:31 > 0:18:38ball finds Redmond, the substitute. Templeton picking up committee goes
0:18:38 > 0:18:43for the gold... He finds it at last! David Templeton get his reward for
0:18:43 > 0:18:47plugging away. It's a really fine finish, perhaps the most difficult
0:18:47 > 0:18:53of all of the chances that he has had. Hamilton Accies are quickly
0:18:53 > 0:19:01back on terms, 2-2.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08Hamilton may fancy a winner, they beat their opponents twice here last
0:19:08 > 0:19:14season. Was that a handball? Greg Docherty certainly think so. But
0:19:14 > 0:19:18it's debatable, certainly.We created good chances, I think before
0:19:18 > 0:19:23the game he would take a point against Aberdeen given their form
0:19:23 > 0:19:26but on the basis of the game and the chances creating, I think we
0:19:26 > 0:19:30deserved more than we got but what is pleasing is that we go to- one
0:19:30 > 0:19:35down which we have done at different points, and we've not been able to
0:19:35 > 0:19:40find a way back into the game. That goal was the least that we deserve.
0:19:40 > 0:19:47We were far better in the second half but Hamilton asked questions of
0:19:47 > 0:19:50you, they test your organisation and get your ball forward. They are
0:19:50 > 0:19:55organised, we spoke about that. Sometimes you do not deal with the
0:19:55 > 0:20:01first ball up and sometimes space opens up for these boys.The gaffer
0:20:01 > 0:20:11said to me to apologise to the lads, but keep going, I would get another
0:20:11 > 0:20:16one and hopefully I would put the next one away and thankfully, I did.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20It's a good result for Hamilton Accies, they could have won the
0:20:20 > 0:20:24match even Templeton in particular? It was really entertaining,
0:20:24 > 0:20:30Templeton had big chances in the game. These chances came from
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Aberdeen's set plays. Joe Lewis is 6-foot seven inches so you need to
0:20:33 > 0:20:38get it higher than that. It's a different opportunity. There is
0:20:38 > 0:20:42acres of space Paire and you must hit the target. It's a good
0:20:42 > 0:20:51connection but get it low, get it on target. -- space Paire. On the back
0:20:51 > 0:20:56line, when he gets into the final decision here, he has two options
0:20:56 > 0:21:01and I think he picks the wrong one, going for the shot. I would have
0:21:01 > 0:21:05taken McKinnon, he drags his shot into the post. But you've got to
0:21:05 > 0:21:13keep going, keep trying. He's right, it was the most difficult
0:21:13 > 0:21:16opportunity in the match but he did well. Hamilton were really good in
0:21:16 > 0:21:22their match.Technically, he's a really good player, not to let him
0:21:22 > 0:21:27off but none were glaring misses. That one on the back post, he could
0:21:27 > 0:21:33have taken a touch.On those volleys.. I take the point that he
0:21:33 > 0:21:37is finding his feet...There are positives.It's not like he's one
0:21:37 > 0:21:41yard out and put it over the crossbar, they are not glaring
0:21:41 > 0:21:44opportunities, there are chances. You had in there he was disappointed
0:21:44 > 0:21:49that it was a good finish in the end.You were impressed with Graeme
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Shinnie yesterday, he has a chance to be in the Scottish team?He was
0:21:53 > 0:22:00outstanding, this is outstanding, playing through Graham Stuart --
0:22:00 > 0:22:07Greg Stewart.Does Iniesta play left-back?No, he doesn't, he plays
0:22:07 > 0:22:11in the centre... But he could? He could but he is in the Scotland
0:22:11 > 0:22:15squad, at left-back, he cannot play because they have a problem with too
0:22:15 > 0:22:21many. This should have been scored by Logan. He has played most of his
0:22:21 > 0:22:29football for Aberdeen in the central midfield area.He is long overdue.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32You are right, he should have been in the squad a long time ago. His
0:22:32 > 0:22:36drive and energy in the middle of the park is a positive for Aberdeen.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40We need to talk about Derek McInnis, there is always speculation about
0:22:40 > 0:22:45Rangers. In two weeks' time, Aberdeen are at
0:22:45 > 0:22:49home to Motherwell. They could still have the Aberdeen manager come that
0:22:49 > 0:23:00match?I don't know, I'm not Nostradamus.You your tuned?I don't
0:23:00 > 0:23:03know, but if he does leave Aberdeen and that was his last game, he's
0:23:03 > 0:23:10left them in a very healthy position and he can be very satisfied. I
0:23:10 > 0:23:14haven't changed my mind, I still think he will!I'm only speculating.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19We will see. Just how much pressure was the Dundee boss Neil McCann and
0:23:19 > 0:23:27as he take his side to face!? Four wins in a row whereas Helps try and
0:23:27 > 0:23:35get four wins on the bounce... -- take his side to face Hibs.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40So top scorer Simon Murray leading the attack, Anthony Stokes is on the
0:23:40 > 0:23:44bench again. Goalkeeper Scott Bain is the subject of an internal
0:23:44 > 0:23:48disciplinary matter, so Elliot Parish makes his debut, one of five
0:23:48 > 0:23:58changes with El Bakhtaoui returning to the team. Hibernian with a run of
0:23:58 > 0:24:03three wins in a row, three clean sheets as well. Here is Martin
0:24:03 > 0:24:18Boyle. Getting away from homes... Boyle! It's an early opener for
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Hibernian after 63 seconds. Boyle with terrific pace, and the accuracy
0:24:24 > 0:24:28from the shot as well, his third goal in three matches, his fifth of
0:24:28 > 0:24:35the season. Not the start that Neil McCann was looking for from this
0:24:35 > 0:24:44side. Still sat at the bottom of the table. Here is McGinn, with David
0:24:44 > 0:24:49Gray at the back... Simon Murray with the effort. Not enough on the
0:24:49 > 0:24:54header. It was knocked back across the vice captain. Elliott Parish was
0:24:54 > 0:25:00happy to pick that one up. El Bakhtaoui. Looking for Roarie
0:25:00 > 0:25:14Deacon. Up against Lewis Stevenson. Still, Deacon... And Dundee are on
0:25:14 > 0:25:21level terms! Marcus Haber with his first goal of the season. But the
0:25:21 > 0:25:27accuracy of the header into the corner, Paul Hanlon trying to clear
0:25:27 > 0:25:36it on the line, could not get the proper connection. It is 1-1.
0:25:36 > 0:25:57Deacon... Support behind coming from Ker... El Bakhtaoui... A brilliant
0:25:57 > 0:26:04save from Ofir Marciano. Brilliant goalkeeping to get that one away.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Still Paul Hanlon... And in toward Stokes! The flag is raised, and its
0:26:09 > 0:26:17offside again against Anthony Stokes. That is tight. He looks on.
0:26:17 > 0:26:27Stevenson... Hibernian battling hard... A challenge there with
0:26:27 > 0:26:35McGowan. John McGinn is getting involved, the referee has a card in
0:26:35 > 0:26:43his hand. It is all kicking off. Stokes is involved. Jack Hendry has
0:26:43 > 0:26:53gone to ground. Now, the assistants are on the park as well. Stokes, and
0:26:53 > 0:26:56an instant there with Jack Hendry. The referee says it is a yellow card
0:26:56 > 0:27:04for the pair of them. Anthony Stokes again... Through towards Simon
0:27:04 > 0:27:13Murray. That certainly warmed the fingers of Elliott Parish, on a cold
0:27:13 > 0:27:19afternoon in Easter Road. Simon Murray, 12 goals so far for this
0:27:19 > 0:27:27season. Dundee, they haven't won in their last nine league visits to
0:27:27 > 0:27:36Easter Road. El Bakhtaoui... Taking advantage of the past from Ambrose.
0:27:36 > 0:27:43The goalkeeper isn't too happy with the defender giving it away.
0:27:43 > 0:27:53Stevenson... Over to Hanlon. Murray tries to turn... He did well and
0:27:53 > 0:27:59initially but could not get the accuracy in his shots. Simon Murray.
0:27:59 > 0:28:09Causing all kinds of problems for the Dundee defence. Stokes... In
0:28:09 > 0:28:20towards Simon Murray... ! Hibs are back in front. Simon Murray with his
0:28:20 > 0:28:27birdieth goal of the season. It is three in his last four matches --
0:28:27 > 0:28:3813th goal of the season. Stokes, still going... The pass finds
0:28:38 > 0:28:45Hanlon. Driven it across more of a sharp, coming back a little bit.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48There was a chance for Murray on the back post. Hibernian looking to
0:28:48 > 0:28:55increase their lead.The second half performance was... More than I could
0:28:55 > 0:28:59have expected from the team in the circumstances. I thought at times
0:28:59 > 0:29:03that they were breathtaking, especially in the last 30 minutes.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06They thoroughly deserved the win and I'm really pleased with not only the
0:29:06 > 0:29:13effort and commitment of the team but the quality of football as well.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17The second goal was such basic defending, we worked on it again
0:29:17 > 0:29:24this week, touching on it. It is so angering, we have not neglected it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29It has killed us. I'm more angry about a guy crossing the ball who
0:29:29 > 0:29:34should not be on the pitch. He points it to the defender between
0:29:34 > 0:29:37the legs, the fourth official says he sees it and is dealing with it in
0:29:37 > 0:29:43the melee but they deem it not violent conduct that it is a closed
0:29:43 > 0:29:49fist where it hurts. The player goes down and it should be a red card.
0:29:49 > 0:29:57We will get to the unmentionable moment soon. Start of a match that
0:29:57 > 0:30:02summed up the situation of both clubs.Neil McCann talked about is
0:30:02 > 0:30:05defending last week not being good enough and they worked on it this
0:30:05 > 0:30:10way, so disappointed to concede a goal so early. An individually good
0:30:10 > 0:30:15goal.Nothing you can really say about the defending specifically.
0:30:15 > 0:30:24And this one, from Anthony Stokes, he has too much space. Look at the
0:30:24 > 0:30:28movement from Simon Murray, drifting behind Hendry. Look at that cross.
0:30:28 > 0:30:33Wonderful. Neil McCann is going on about basic defending, not good
0:30:33 > 0:30:37enough. Sometimes you have to take your hat off and a great attacking
0:30:37 > 0:30:41play. For Hibs, four wins out of four. Before there was a lot of
0:30:41 > 0:30:44praise but not being get in the result, now they are starting to
0:30:44 > 0:30:48score goals. The last four goals they have won they have scored
0:30:48 > 0:30:52inside the first 30 minutes. Three inside the first ten minutes.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Getting that early goal changes the dynamics of the game and
0:30:56 > 0:31:01performances were already at a high-level.Looking strong.Next
0:31:01 > 0:31:08moment that needs to be delicately handled.Why does he come over to
0:31:08 > 0:31:16get involved? Taking him round the back of the neck, and then a wee
0:31:16 > 0:31:25punch.You think it's a punch?Yes. Surely it's a red card.Neil McCann
0:31:25 > 0:31:28said a closed fist, if it was a red card I don't think Anthony Stokes
0:31:28 > 0:31:32would have a lot to complain about. I think a yellow card sufficed. It
0:31:32 > 0:31:38wasn't a closed fist, so it wasn't a punch.Surely it is unacceptable in
0:31:38 > 0:31:45the workplace.Is there something in the rule book about that part of the
0:31:45 > 0:31:51anatomy?I don't know, but for me it was a red.How much pressure is on
0:31:51 > 0:31:54McCann and?A lot of pressure, lost five games in a row, at the bottom
0:31:54 > 0:31:59of the league. They have already -- we've already lost a third of our
0:31:59 > 0:32:03managers, so I hope he's given time to stop you can't legislate for good
0:32:03 > 0:32:07quality goals like Hibernian scored on Saturday. I think Dundee put in a
0:32:07 > 0:32:12better performance on Saturday at Easter Road.Will he be given time?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15You would hope so. Dundee when out of their way to make sure they got
0:32:15 > 0:32:21Neil McCann as a manager. But it is a real concern, the form they are
0:32:21 > 0:32:24on, the performances maintain themselves.When you concede as many
0:32:24 > 0:32:30goals as Dundee are, and the issue of them not getting goals... Clearly
0:32:30 > 0:32:37a bit of an rest with Scott Bain. Overall, I think a bit of concern
0:32:37 > 0:32:44with what is going on Sunday.An excellent run. . Still no permanent
0:32:44 > 0:32:48manager at Rangers, could the interim boss make it two wins out of
0:32:48 > 0:32:55two? Partick Thistle the visitors at Ibrox. COMMENTATOR: Bruno Alves back
0:32:55 > 0:33:02to fitness and available again for Rangers but the manager sticks with
0:33:02 > 0:33:06Ross McCrory and Wilson in defence. Alan Archibald picks an unchanged
0:33:06 > 0:33:09team for Partick Thistle for the first time since March. These are
0:33:09 > 0:33:13the 11 that started last weekend was on a Mac win against St Johnstone.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19Rangers looking to improve on a pretty disappointing home record so
0:33:19 > 0:33:25far this season. They have won only one out of five. This is Ryan Jack,
0:33:25 > 0:33:33threatening early on. Thomas Tierney got the blood to that but not the
0:33:33 > 0:33:43most consent -- convincing save. There is room here for Tavernier. A
0:33:43 > 0:33:48great cut out by Jordan Turnbull. Found himself with a lot of room
0:33:48 > 0:33:50here.
0:33:53 > 0:34:02Paul McGinn has given it away. Kenny Miller. Ryan Jack racing away,
0:34:02 > 0:34:08trying to set something up. But the cutback goes astray. Intended for
0:34:08 > 0:34:12Josh Windass. It was a great opportunity for Rangers to make the
0:34:12 > 0:34:14breakthrough.
0:34:18 > 0:34:29The second time in charge for Graham McMurtry. And the breakthrough on
0:34:29 > 0:34:35the half-hour. His first top tier goal for Rangers. The 19-year-old
0:34:35 > 0:34:47not picked up. Kept in by McGinn. Miles Storey. Paul McGinn's cross,
0:34:47 > 0:34:53the glancing header away by McCrorie and Connor Syme and lost his footing
0:34:53 > 0:34:58at the key moment. --,
0:35:02 > 0:35:13Jason Holt. The challenge and Morelos. Play goes on. Driving
0:35:13 > 0:35:24forward... A great run, a great save by the goalkeeper but Daniel
0:35:24 > 0:35:29Candeias makes it 2-0. Daniel Candeias didn't have too much time
0:35:29 > 0:35:32to think about this, a good finish.
0:35:36 > 0:35:47Flicked on by Sammon and away by Wilson. Turnbull's header sets up
0:35:47 > 0:35:53Josh Windass, and that surely is game over. Just two minutes into the
0:35:53 > 0:35:58second half, it's a shocking decision by Turnbull. Tried to find
0:35:58 > 0:36:03his goalkeeper, it was never reaching, and Windass makes it two
0:36:03 > 0:36:17goals in two games. Spittal gets another chance. Wilson's header
0:36:17 > 0:36:21away. Steven Lawless, Edwards. It was always on the rise for Edwards,
0:36:21 > 0:36:27he reckons there was a deflection on this, as it flew over the top.
0:36:30 > 0:36:47McCrorie. Lovely touch from Candeias and no one is catching him. Another
0:36:47 > 0:36:52chance goes begging for Rangers' number nine.
0:36:55 > 0:37:01A day of little joy for Partick Thistle. Never really be in this.
0:37:01 > 0:37:11Good work from Miles Storey, just a flicker of an opportunity for
0:37:11 > 0:37:17Partick to get a goal back. Doolan off the bench and off target.
0:37:21 > 0:37:35Lawless with the header. Looking for Spittal. Takes it back but drags it
0:37:35 > 0:37:41wide. A miserable afternoon for Partick Thistle, 3-0, Rangers.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45A three victory for Rangers. What is the story with Ross McCrory?
0:37:45 > 0:37:51LAUGHTER He's a fantastic player, he really
0:37:51 > 0:37:55is. He impressed me when they played Celtic earlier in the season at
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Ibrox, he was outstanding and I thought he was yesterday. His
0:37:58 > 0:38:02positional sense is excellent for a young player. It was a big call for
0:38:02 > 0:38:08Graeme Murty yesterday not to put Bruno Alves back into the side. He's
0:38:08 > 0:38:10a big earner, an international player but he kept a young McCrorie
0:38:10 > 0:38:14on the side and he had an excellent game. Brilliant to see a young
0:38:14 > 0:38:19Scottish centre-half doing well and playing. Hopefully he will get a
0:38:19 > 0:38:23consistent run. Look at his positional sense, he has strength,
0:38:23 > 0:38:29and his passing and composure on the ball...Simple.Yes. His first goal.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33His desire to attack the ball. A memorable moment and I think he
0:38:33 > 0:38:37would turn into a top-level stop the big thing for
0:38:37 > 0:38:37would turn into a top-level stop the big thing for
0:38:37 > 0:38:38would turn into a top-level stop the big thing for me is, his positional
0:38:38 > 0:38:43sense. For somebody so young, that is impressive. He stops things that
0:38:43 > 0:38:48source because he is in the right position. Not last-ditch tackles, in
0:38:48 > 0:38:51position and can easily defend from there.Rosicky Bruno Alves out of
0:38:51 > 0:38:58the team?They have won two games without him so why change it? At the
0:38:58 > 0:39:04moment he is in possession of the Jersey.I agree.Graeme Murty, do I
0:39:04 > 0:39:07detect a bandwagon forming behind him as potential Rangers manager?
0:39:07 > 0:39:11They can't give it for a rookie, can they?They can't, they can't afford
0:39:11 > 0:39:15to get this decision wrong. As much as I like Graeme Murty, as interim
0:39:15 > 0:39:20player he has the respect of the players, he has the respect of the
0:39:20 > 0:39:24team and it will look good on his CV but no.He's doing a good job at the
0:39:24 > 0:39:30moment. Perhaps whoever comes it would look to use Graeme Murty as
0:39:30 > 0:39:34part of the backroom staff. I think when you saw him an interim charge
0:39:34 > 0:39:38previously as well, he did relatively well.Got a result
0:39:38 > 0:39:42against Celtic. As for Partick Thistle, the mini revival ends.Not
0:39:42 > 0:39:47much of a surprise? No, they've taken seven points from nine in the
0:39:47 > 0:39:51last three but haven't beaten Rangers since 1993 so I didn't hold
0:39:51 > 0:39:57out much hope.You love that start. I use every time I can!Motherwell
0:39:57 > 0:40:01are unbeaten in their last four visits to Ross County. County boss
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Owen Coyle looking for his second home victory.
0:40:08 > 0:40:18The Ross County skipper is back. Jamie Lindsay on the bench. Three
0:40:18 > 0:40:21changes for Motherwell.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39The free kick aimed at Andrew Davies. Here is Gardyne and Ross
0:40:39 > 0:40:48County are in front! Carson got a hand to it but couldn't keep it out.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Already looking straightforward for Ross County. Gardyne hasn't scored
0:40:52 > 0:41:02this season. He netted last weekend at Pittodrie and now it is two in
0:41:02 > 0:41:08two. Owen Coyle in action against one of his old teams. WHISTLE
0:41:08 > 0:41:15Craig Tanner with the free kick. Peter Hartley's header was very
0:41:15 > 0:41:21close to levelling things up. He's been quite a prolific marksman, the
0:41:21 > 0:41:29defender, so far for Motherwell. Helped on by Dann and away by
0:41:29 > 0:41:47Hartley. In goes Jim O'Brien. Tenacious play from him. Gardyne...
0:41:47 > 0:41:52And Kellior-Dunn makes it 2-0. It's all happening for Kellior-Dunn. 20
0:41:52 > 0:41:58on Thursday, just signed an extended contract with County and this is his
0:41:58 > 0:42:08second goal for the first team. Blasted home to make it 2-0. Steven
0:42:08 > 0:42:13Robertson banned from the dugout but not far away. Jim O'Brien,
0:42:13 > 0:42:22Kellior-Dunn. Tried to re-divert that. Another opportunity for County
0:42:22 > 0:42:34to make it three. A lovely touch from O'Brien. The cross from
0:42:34 > 0:42:43Gardyne. Davis, Draper, O'Brien. Off the line... Gardyne scores again!
0:42:43 > 0:42:53And it is 3-0 to Ross County, three minutes away from half-time. The
0:42:53 > 0:43:01pressure is off for the home team. It looked as if the keeper could
0:43:01 > 0:43:09have got himself in the way of that Gardyne shot but it flew past him.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Now a 3-goal advantage for Owen Coyle's team.
0:43:17 > 0:43:31Moult. Flickers of hope here for Motherwell three minutes into the
0:43:31 > 0:43:39second half. Off the bench comes Ryan Bowman and makes an immediate
0:43:39 > 0:43:46impression. The glancing header from the cross and it is 3-1.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Draper.
0:43:52 > 0:44:10Here goes Kellior-Dunn. And O'Brien. Naismith, Draper! A chance for
0:44:10 > 0:44:17another one for County. Great build-up but not the finish.
0:44:19 > 0:44:36Lovely touch from Bowman. This is Chris Tanna. Moult! Moult makes it
0:44:36 > 0:44:433-2, with 11 minutes to go. His 12th goal of the season. Do Motherwell
0:44:43 > 0:44:50have a chance of getting something here? The League Cup finalists
0:44:50 > 0:45:00lifted by that Moult goal, from 3-0 to 3-2. Their hopes are renewed as
0:45:00 > 0:45:06they cut inside and try a shot at goal, to disappointment in the end,
0:45:06 > 0:45:10but they sense an opportunity here, Steven Robinson's team.
0:45:23 > 0:45:28A chance right at the end to rescue a point from Motherwell, it goes
0:45:28 > 0:45:32straight to Aaron McCarey.The execution was everything we were
0:45:32 > 0:45:37after, clinical today. As with Motherwell, they were two wonderful
0:45:37 > 0:45:40headers but I am delighted with the football we played and scoring the
0:45:40 > 0:45:46goals.We gave ourselves too much to do, you go 3-0 down anywhere in this
0:45:46 > 0:45:50league and you will struggle to get back into it. I think that was all
0:45:50 > 0:45:54we could do, that reaction. Give the travelling fans something to shout
0:45:54 > 0:46:00about and I think we did that in the second half but it was too much.A
0:46:00 > 0:46:07really good win for Ross County and a great display from Michael
0:46:07 > 0:46:14Gardyne, their all-time record scorer.This was his first goal, it
0:46:14 > 0:46:19was a great dummy from Jason Naismith, and Michael Gardyne with a
0:46:19 > 0:46:24great strike on target, but this was really bad defending from
0:46:24 > 0:46:30Motherwell, out of position, that gaping hole, but Gardyne finds
0:46:30 > 0:46:36killer done, young man who signed the contract earlier this week. A
0:46:36 > 0:46:42fantastic finish from the youngster -- Kellior-Dunn, the back three are
0:46:42 > 0:46:48dragged about a bit, Gardyne, he gets himself into the box with some
0:46:48 > 0:46:51interesting defending coming up! Why does nobody put him under pressure?
0:46:51 > 0:47:00Then, the goalkeeper is about six he just stands there and let it hit his
0:47:00 > 0:47:07chest! It comes off his head, and it is terrible defending.I think it's
0:47:07 > 0:47:11touches Gardyne's hand, he is claiming for something. I think it
0:47:11 > 0:47:17comes off his hand but as you say, he makes himself one foot shorter.
0:47:17 > 0:47:23Steven Robinson is forced to watch the match from the stands...
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Ridiculous! He may as well be sat in the dugout. It makes a mockery of
0:47:26 > 0:47:34it. He made two changes at half-time, changing the system, he
0:47:34 > 0:47:41put in Frear and Bowman, Frear here, this second cross that comes in is
0:47:41 > 0:47:46fantastic. As Owen Coyle said, two fantastic headers. It was top
0:47:46 > 0:47:54drawer. Bowman started to cause problems. They linked together well,
0:47:54 > 0:47:59Bowman and Moult. Bowman with a flick to Moult, and here, it comes
0:47:59 > 0:48:07around the corner, a flick to play the short end. Putting crosses into
0:48:07 > 0:48:12the box, asking questions of them again, Bowman is heavily involved, a
0:48:12 > 0:48:16lovely turning spin, as the ball comes into the box, it's a fantastic
0:48:16 > 0:48:19header from Louis Moult, pushing hard towards the end of the match,
0:48:19 > 0:48:24in the last ten minutes, to get the equaliser but the damage had already
0:48:24 > 0:48:28been done. On the balance of the game, Ross County definitely
0:48:28 > 0:48:34deserved a victory.I heard Keith Lasley saying that the League Cup
0:48:34 > 0:48:40final, it isn't a distraction but... Will it be?I don't think so.It is
0:48:40 > 0:48:45in the back of your mind.After the semifinal and they have tapered off
0:48:45 > 0:48:49slightly, you've got to give them games but their run coming up... It
0:48:49 > 0:48:53is Aberdeen, Celtic and hearts in the middle of that. It is a tough
0:48:53 > 0:48:57run and it will be a busy period. You are thinking about the cup
0:48:57 > 0:49:03final... As you approach it, it's in the back of your mind, believe me.
0:49:03 > 0:49:09Tough stuff. One game played today, the final match at Murrayfield, the
0:49:09 > 0:49:14commentary comes from Leah McLeod... Hearts final fixture at Murrayfield
0:49:14 > 0:49:20as they prepare to head across the railway, to their spiritual home.
0:49:20 > 0:49:2418-year-old Daniel Power debuts, and in defence, Cowie comes into the
0:49:24 > 0:49:35side. After Hibernian on Tuesday, Clark names the same starting XI.
0:49:35 > 0:49:48For 42 years, they beat Rangers with the beating heart of Stefano
0:49:48 > 0:49:54Salvatori. They nearly struck early, the jam tarts. It would have been
0:49:54 > 0:50:02quite the tribute, as Jefferies and Brown, in charge of Salvatori, they
0:50:02 > 0:50:06applaud. An emotional moment for the Hearts supporters, the Italian
0:50:06 > 0:50:15player dying at the age of only 49. A tragic passing. This is Hearts
0:50:15 > 0:50:20tenth competitive game at Murrayfield, winning only three of
0:50:20 > 0:50:28the nine that have come before -- 12. McLauchlin did well, after that
0:50:28 > 0:50:40deflection. This could have been awkward... Mackenzie's effort there.
0:50:40 > 0:50:44One win in 13 for Kilmarnock coming into this one. They have shown signs
0:50:44 > 0:50:49of improvement under Clark, that is for sure. After draws against
0:50:49 > 0:50:58Glasgow -- in Glasgow. Boyd! 1-0! Jon McLaughlin asks the questions
0:50:58 > 0:51:06but Kris Boyd comes up with the answer. One of Scottish football's
0:51:06 > 0:51:11most prolific marksman in recent times. The long ball by Broadfoot,
0:51:11 > 0:51:20finding the skipper and he drills at home. Looking for that first win,
0:51:20 > 0:51:35Steve Clarke, he fancies his chances now. In it comes, from Broadfoot...
0:51:35 > 0:51:40Taylor, with a goal kick all right. Greg Taylor up from the back of this
0:51:40 > 0:51:47corner, flicked back by Broadfoot initially, McKenzie with a swipe.
0:51:47 > 0:51:55Two wily Foxes in the respective technical areas watching on there.
0:51:55 > 0:52:00Goncalves! And Jamie MacDonald, who won the Scottish Cup with Hearts,
0:52:00 > 0:52:08holding onto the ball for dear life. Celtic did that yesterday at
0:52:08 > 0:52:15McDiarmid Park. Randall... That is Kyle Lafferty... He goes down, he
0:52:15 > 0:52:21wants a spot kick but he isn't getting one! It was a combination of
0:52:21 > 0:52:30O'Donnell and Broadfoot, nothing doing there. Haddin hearts will be
0:52:30 > 0:52:34desperate to get back to Tynecastle, they played all of their games at
0:52:34 > 0:52:41home in the league this season of course. Lafferty is denied! Almost
0:52:41 > 0:52:51conjuring something from nothing there. Outfoxing Kilmarnock's
0:52:51 > 0:53:00defenders there, he was unlucky. Away by Gordon Greer... Goncalves,
0:53:00 > 0:53:09and that is fabulous! Absolutely wonderful from Goncalves! He scored
0:53:09 > 0:53:17the winner is when these two met in August. He would later be sent off,
0:53:17 > 0:53:23along with Broadfoot. This is a touch of class for the Portuguese.
0:53:23 > 0:53:33Hearts are level. Cowie and down goes Christophe Berra, denied a
0:53:33 > 0:53:38penalty earlier in the game, Lafferty hits the deck. They will be
0:53:38 > 0:53:45denied one too. Broadfoot involved, again. It goes through to Goncalves.
0:53:45 > 0:53:56Stockton and Goncalves again! Jamie MacDonald denies him this time.
0:53:56 > 0:54:01Getting into the next goal wins territory. Goncalves equalised for
0:54:01 > 0:54:09Hearts and is denied. Here they come, up the other end. That might
0:54:09 > 0:54:19just win it!
0:54:21 > 0:54:26Frizzell! Their second of the season, that might have just sealed
0:54:26 > 0:54:34those three points for Kilmarnock. A clever spin off Henderson. Hearts
0:54:34 > 0:54:381-2 Kilmarnock.And delighted to get my first as a manager, from a
0:54:38 > 0:54:42selfish point of view. It was important for the team, on the back
0:54:42 > 0:54:45of some really good performances coming into the club that we got
0:54:45 > 0:54:51that win. I think it was just about deserved.The fine margins are when
0:54:51 > 0:54:55things are going for you, you win the game and today we hit the post a
0:54:55 > 0:55:00couple of times. Denied good chances. We had a one-on-one with
0:55:00 > 0:55:04the goalkeeper, that is the fine line between coming away here saying
0:55:04 > 0:55:11it's a great recovery, and at half-time, being one down then. But
0:55:11 > 0:55:15that is football.STUDIO: A fantastic victory for Kilmarnock and
0:55:15 > 0:55:22a great game to watch, exciting to the end. Kris Boyd very much at the
0:55:22 > 0:55:25forefront?He gets the first goal in the game but there was a warning
0:55:25 > 0:55:31shot for Hearts, this was Daren Powell picking it up, look at the
0:55:31 > 0:55:36back line. That's the last thing you want. Michael Smith managed to pick
0:55:36 > 0:55:43it up. It's a carbon copy, look at the backline! A carbon copy. -- this
0:55:43 > 0:55:52was Alan Powell. He shifted onto his left putt to make sure that the
0:55:52 > 0:55:57defender doesn't get it.I wonder what he is referring to?Santa will
0:55:57 > 0:56:03be here in just over a month!And you were impressed by Power in the
0:56:03 > 0:56:11centre of the Kilmarnock midfield? Since the manager has come in, they
0:56:11 > 0:56:14have been fantastic. Alan Powell was composed and knitted things together
0:56:14 > 0:56:20well. That space is poor from Hearts, you cannot allow a player of
0:56:20 > 0:56:23that passing ability to give them the space. He will pick out the
0:56:23 > 0:56:28passes and he isn't happy to play two or three yard balls, he wants to
0:56:28 > 0:56:33play it forward. 50 yards, right onto McDonnell's toe. That plane
0:56:33 > 0:56:38made a difference by Alan Power.A thrilling finish to the match. You
0:56:38 > 0:56:43could see the joy in the faces of the Kilmarnock fans!Our graphics
0:56:43 > 0:56:50expert was going crazy!Hearts came back into the game, it was a
0:56:50 > 0:56:55wonderful goal from Goncalves. You could nearly sense that there was
0:56:55 > 0:56:59the steam building up. Then this opportunity from Goncalves again. A
0:56:59 > 0:57:02really good save and literally straight up the other end,
0:57:02 > 0:57:05Kilmarnock showing that they are not happy to settle for a point away
0:57:05 > 0:57:10from home. It would have been a good point but no, they want to get
0:57:10 > 0:57:15forward McKenzie with a wonderful driving run, the left-back showed an
0:57:15 > 0:57:20experience being dragged towards the ball but look at this finish from
0:57:20 > 0:57:24Frizzell, it's fantastic and for me, Kilmarnock deserved to win the game.
0:57:24 > 0:57:27They were the better side and that is a great finish. When you hear
0:57:27 > 0:57:31Steve Clarke saying they are good performances, they've now got the
0:57:31 > 0:57:37victory to back it up. He's made a huge difference to come on, no doubt
0:57:37 > 0:57:40about it. They have a smile on their face.
0:57:40 > 0:57:44Hearts with a few problems...Not great. Three straight defeats, it
0:57:44 > 0:57:48isn't great at all!And where is the problem?I don't know, they talk
0:57:48 > 0:57:52about getting back to Tynecastle and hopefully results will pick up, but
0:57:52 > 0:57:56if they play like that, Tynecastle will not help them pick up points at
0:57:56 > 0:57:59all.Let's leave it there for the time being.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02Thank you to both of you. All of that leaves the Ladbrokes
0:58:02 > 0:58:06Premiership table looking like this this evening...
0:58:06 > 0:58:10Celtic extending their lead at the top to three points. Hibernian
0:58:14 > 0:58:18in third place, one point ahead of Rangers. Dundee remain at the bottom
