The championship's is Celtic's for the third successive season. What a | :00:44. | :01:01. | |
terrific shot that is. A great goal. What the chance. Terry Butcher | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
cannot believe it. Good evening and welcome to Sportscene with me | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Jonathan Sutherland. Tonight, we give thanks to the play-off spot, | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
which is making the bottom half of the Premiership an exciting an | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
uncertain place. And it looks like going down to the wire. Plus it | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
gives our pundits, Michael Stewart and Billy Dodds, plenty to talk | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
about. Not that they normally need much help on that front. This had | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
the makings of a decisive weekend in the Premiership story. Could Hearts | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
stave off relegation once again? For that to happen, second bottom St | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Mirren needed to lose to Motherwell while Hearts had to beat Partick | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
Thistle at Firhill. Paterson heads it down. Caddick | :01:41. | :02:18. | |
cannot get there. It could be a chance for Kris Doolan. A fine | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
finish. Kris Doolan, that to back calls for him. Scorers after five | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
minutes. It is a cracking finish. The pace of Kris Doolan did what was | :02:31. | :02:50. | |
needed. The great ball through from Higginbotham. Hearts again and the | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
two centre half is struggling. Nice corner. Robinson. A good save from | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
Paul Gallacher. What a terrific header. That is a great save for the | :03:05. | :03:13. | |
goalkeeper. Stevenson, Caddick, King has made a run. Billy King. Trying | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
to move away and it is wide. Mellon was tracking him back. Good | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
acceleration from Billy King but dragged it wide. That is it back | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
again. Billy King turns. Beaten away by Paul Gallacher and knocked away | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
by Taylor-Sinclair. Pushing for an equaliser here. A long throw into | :03:43. | :03:53. | |
the ball. Head tennis going on. Caddick got it down, what's he | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
bumped? The referee says no. One minute until half-time. Jamie Hamill | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
sends it forward. It could be a chance for Billy King. Up against | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
the ruling. There is the equaliser! It has come from Dale Carrick. Billy | :04:18. | :04:30. | |
King setting him up. It is 1-1. Hearts would need to get the win to | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
survive and they needed St Mirren to lose to Motherwell. | :04:37. | :04:59. | |
Kenny McLean's corner. A big chance. Saved by the Nielsen. It was a good | :05:00. | :05:12. | |
one. No-one could do anything on the rebound. Early pressure from the | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
home team and what an opportunity this was for McGregor to score. | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
Lansley under pressure. The long ball from McManus. And Mirren caught | :05:26. | :05:36. | |
out, no offside flag. It is 1-0. A switch off at the back from St | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
Mirren and they are badly caught out here. The goalkeeper came charging | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
of of his line which made up the mind of Lionel Ainsworth. He just | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
knocked the ball into the middle and Anier scored again. In those | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
Goodwin. It is pinball. No Anier. Steven Hammell. John Sutton scorers | :06:02. | :06:13. | |
and it is the 2-0 lead. Inside 27 minutes in Paisley. Not the start St | :06:14. | :06:21. | |
Mirren were looking for. Motherwell are two goals up. It is John | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
Sutton's 20th goal of the season and few have been easier. In from | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
McLean. Kept alive by McGregor. Steven Thompson has seems back in | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
the Game three minutes before half-time. -- St Mirren back in the | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
game. It is relief among the warm support that they can indeed get | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
something from this game. You could see the effort that Gary Locke wants | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
from his team. Stevenson hits off of Caddick, onto Billy King. A great | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
goal from Billy King. Hearts are ahead. They need to win today. Paul | :07:11. | :07:21. | |
Gallacher with no chance. Concern for Alan Archibald. It came with the | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
corner. Stevenson's header. Hearts are ahead. He had not scored since | :07:28. | :07:44. | |
November. A great glancing header. Hearts are leading here by 3-1. In | :07:45. | :07:56. | |
it goes. Stevenson! Hearts are four - one ahead. It is a double for | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
Stevenson. Robinson across, a great little spin and turn and he popped | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
it in the corner. The substitutes are combining. Jordan McMillan. | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
Running forward and he has got the chance. That is his first Artic | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
Thistle goal. He does not really stop to celebrate. With two minutes | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
to play Jordan McMillan pulls one goal back for Partick Thistle. A | :08:30. | :08:36. | |
lovely move. The substitutes involved. Hearts will still take all | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
three points you would suspect. They have been impressive having gone one | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
goal down. Back it came onto Steven Lawless. The substitute came in, | :08:51. | :08:58. | |
so, too, James Craigen. Plenty of venom in that short. A good save | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
from the keeper. Hearts would have gone to relegation. The referee | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
picked up an injury. He was replaced by the fourth official. McLean did | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
well to get that in. Thompson with a diving header. They played so well | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
to get the cross in. Goodwin. Josh Magennis. Jason Naismith. Working | :09:28. | :09:40. | |
the 1-2 with Goodwin. Gets himself in and around. Skill from the | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
goalkeeper. Thompson could not quite get to that rebound. McLean | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
delivers. Thompson gets turned and the shot on goal is kept away by the | :09:56. | :10:07. | |
goalkeeper. Trying to angle that towards the far corner. It is left | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
for Lionel aims worth. A good strike and tipped over the top by the | :10:15. | :10:22. | |
goalkeeper. It might just be game over here. They are giving it | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
everything, St Mirren, to try to get something. There is Thompson with | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
the knocked down. It came off of Stephen McManus and the referee says | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
handball and penalty. He looks to have got that badly wrong. It has | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
come off of the face of McManus. Kenny McLean to square the game | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
which he does. Four minutes from time it is two goals each and the | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
coolest man on the pitch was Kenny McLean. | :11:02. | :11:20. | |
The Stephen Thomson has scored! From behind, Saint Mirren are now 3-2 in | :11:21. | :11:31. | |
front. What an incredible much, and this could be a hugely significant | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
result. And that is how it finished, a dramatic win for Saint Mirren, and | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
despite Hearts' victory at Partick diesel, the Tyneside side were | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
relegated on an afternoon of high emotion. | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
After the sloppy goal in the first 50 minutes, probably our best | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
performance of the season. I thought we caused Partick all sorts of | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
problems. For 20 minutes we dominated and were creating chance | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
after chance. Something tripped a switch and they stopped doing so | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
well and Hearts got into the game. I have tried to remain as positive as | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
I can be. We have had knocks but I am positive we will get this deal | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
done and Hearts of Midlothian will be back at the top of the table. We | :12:24. | :12:33. | |
will have to pick up towards the end of the season by shoving our | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
character. There are only a few points separating five teams and I | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
concede is going all the way to the wire. It hit him full in the face. | :12:41. | :12:49. | |
The linesman was looking and did not give it. The referee gave it from 30 | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
yards away on the other side. It was an importing -- appalling decision. | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
We need to start with that pivotal handball decision from the referee | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
on Stephen McManus in the Saint Mirren -Motherwell match. The | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
referee's position does not help. I can understand why he thought it was | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
a penalty. He is miles away at the wrong angle. It hits his face. It is | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
never a penalty. Anyone watching this, rewinding and having a look, | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
every bit of the footage that week showed, the referee is standing to | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
the left side of the penalty area. He is miles away. Exactly the same. | :13:39. | :13:46. | |
There is one clip where you notice he points to his ear as if to say he | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
has been told, but his position was not right at all. Stephen Thomson, | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
friend of Sportscene, at the double. Is this the end of the season -- | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
highlight of the season so far for Saint Mirren? | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
It was a massive result for Saint Mirren. Very similar, almost to the | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
last season, where they were getting chased down and started to panic a | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
bit. They have managed to get the result there. It was inevitable | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Hearts would get relegated but they are looking further ahead and trying | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
to drag the other teams into the play-off spot. I was at Saint Mirren | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
yesterday and it was a deafening roar when the goal went in at the | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
end. So many people had pencilled in Saint Mirren for the second bottom | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
slot. Yes, we have said that, we could not see how they were going to | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
get out of it that they were capable of a win. -- but they were capable | :14:57. | :15:04. | |
of a win. Hearts are of course now relegated. This was the first time | :15:05. | :15:12. | |
they had scored four goals in one game this season, ironically. | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
How would you sum up the manager's season? It has been disappointing on | :15:18. | :15:27. | |
so many fronts. The pressure has been taken of the young players' | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
shoulders. PC Billy King 's -- you see Billy King setting one up and | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
scoring another one. I was at the game in the week against Aberdeen | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
and credit to Gary Locke, he made a tactical change at half-time and it | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
made a big difference, but over the course of the season, too many | :15:50. | :15:50. | |
repetitive mistakes. It has been difficult all mine for | :15:51. | :16:02. | |
everyone at the club. I would have to say until you get a shot and a | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
fair chance as a manager by getting your own players and better tools to | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
work with, no disrespect to the young boys, I think you should be | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
judged on that and I know first hand he is a top coat and a modern coach. | :16:17. | :16:25. | |
He is passionate and until he gets a fair crack at it... -- he is a top | :16:26. | :16:35. | |
coach. The administrators meet to discuss Hearts in Lithuania | :16:36. | :16:47. | |
tomorrow. How worried should Hearts fans bitter night? It is just the | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
same situation as it has been all season. There is a lot of | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
brinkmanship going on at the moment. They are trying to force the hand of | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
the day the radiance to hurry up and get the deal done. Worrying times | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
but if things will happen... You can hear Gary Locke being positive about | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
it and when that happens, the people who care about the club in Scotland | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
can build the future for it. Tomorrow is a pivotal day. | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
Absolutely, the fans have been tortured enough. They would like a | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
good result out of this tomorrow. I think it will be good news. I hope I | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
do not get egg on my face but for the sake of Scottish football, we | :17:35. | :17:46. | |
need the big clubs safe and secure. Of all the sides in the play-off | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
mix, Kilmarnock looked the healthiest going into this weekend. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Last Saturday they'd beaten Motherwell with a late goal from | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Craig Slater. The midfielder was in the starting line-up again. And of | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
course they had Kris Boyd up front. 19 goals and counting for the | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
season. St Johnstone the visitors at Rugby Park, already sure of their | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
top-six place. They went with almost the same side that drew 1-1 with | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
Partick Thistle last weekend. Just the one change - David Wotherspoon | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
starting in place of Michael O'Halloran. | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
Kris Boyd got the shaft and Alan Manus got the Parry. 18-year-old | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
Muirhead with just his second Killie. St Johnstone are made of | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
stern stuff but they are not immune to mistakes. James done with the | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
errant header, Eremenko with a typically audacious effort. Not far | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
away from 2-0, what a difference that might have made because just | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
after the half hour mark, St Johnstone equalised. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Frazer Wright got a bullet header at the near post. And just before | :18:55. | :19:03. | |
half-time, it was 2-1. Frazer Wright's central defensive partner | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
Anderson with a goal off a superbly executed backheel. St John's and | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
deservedly in front. Tommy Wright's side rarely phone in their | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
performances. In the second half, Frazer Wright's looping header | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
almost found a way in at the back post with Stevie me lurking. -- | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
Stevie me. And after their decent start, Killie went backwards in | :19:33. | :19:42. | |
this. David Wotherspoon would get his chance to try from 20 yards. | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
Just wide of the post. Frazer Wright's crunching but fair tackle | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
was the catalyst as St Johnstone mounted yet another attack. David | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Wotherspoon once again with the opportunity. In the end, this was | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
the perfect way for St Johnstone to limber up for their Scottish Cup | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
semifinal. Wotherspoon assessment ball into the box almost found | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
McLean. But St Johnstone deserving of all three points. | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
We started brightly but then to lose a goal from a corner, really | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
disappointing. Then they scored another goal from a corner. Two | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
quality balls in and two great runs and Frazer really showed | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
determination. Pleased for them two and pleased for the lads as well | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
because that shows how far we can get up the top six. | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
A fantastic away win from St Johnstone, both goals from corners. | :20:58. | :21:06. | |
Neither of you is enamoured by the Kilmarnock and in? -- defending? | :21:07. | :21:18. | |
It is a bit confusing. Kris Boyd was standing on the six yard box. I do | :21:19. | :21:27. | |
not know what his role was. You heard Allan Johnston they're saying | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
they did not look a threat from set pieces yet they have conceded two | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
themselves as well. Set pieces are a big thing these days and their own | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
looked confusing. I have seen Marvin Andrews do that Kris Boyd role for | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Rangers. He used to... If he comes in that area and you are in the | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
middle of the six yard box, you go and attack it. That does not say | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
much for Killie have Kris Boyd as your main header off the ball. One | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
thing I think we should point out is, if this was Neymar scoring the | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
goal as Steven Anderson does... It is a backheel. If it had gone | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
YouTube it would have gone viral by now. It was not an easy chance to | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
take but if there was someone on the front post there, they would have | :22:28. | :22:38. | |
easily not wrapped away. Could Dundee United still crash the | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
party for second place in the Premiership? | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
They faced a tall order taking anything against the champions, | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
Celtic. At Tannadice for us was Liam Macleod. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
The Tangerines are looking to improve on a miserable record | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
against their visitors. Samaras' first start since the beginning of | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
the February. Kris Commons will take this free kick for Celtic. | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
Samaras! That is brilliant. Back in the team and back in the goals. Is | :23:15. | :23:22. | |
the Greece International... His first strike for the club since the | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
consolation goal in Barcelona and it was expertly taken. Just two wins in | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
57 for Dundee United against Celtic, a dreadful record. Not bad. | :23:33. | :23:41. | |
On his wrong foot, which did not help the cause. Four goals this | :23:42. | :23:53. | |
season, cunning. No Griffiths in the starting line-up, Neil Lennon saying | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
before the game that he is resting a slight knock. Magnificent from | :23:59. | :24:06. | |
Celtic. The build-up play, the finish as well. A little 1-2 between | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
Commons and Stokes in the age of the box. A fantastic goal for Celtic. | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
They are two to the good after the first quarter. John Rankin. So | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
crucial that Dundee United scored the next goal in the game. | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
He is over but he certainly has plenty behind the right foot shot | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
there. Frustrated with himself. United were denied the famous | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
victory at Celtic Park early in the season. Dow is offside. It is not | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
going to count. No doubt be half-time introduction of Gary Mckay | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
Stephen has made a difference to the hosts. | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
There is the former Celtic Blake in the stands. He looks after a Dundee | :25:03. | :25:11. | |
United Tracker. -- striker. It is wide from Watson. Might have | :25:12. | :25:31. | |
done better, Keith Watson here, teed up nicely. Just tried to guide it | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
into the far post. Samaras got things started for Celtic very early | :25:38. | :25:46. | |
on, with the fifth minute opener. An awkward one for Dylan and he missed | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
judged it. Unlucky. Good save. Unlucky. I think he claims he took a | :25:49. | :26:18. | |
touch. Lee Griffiths has made the headlines all week, trying to make | :26:19. | :26:19. | |
headlines of a different kind there. A good 1-to that between the centre | :26:20. | :26:31. | |
half and Stokes. He cannot finish it. | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
One defeat for Celtic this season in the lead. They are heading for | :26:38. | :26:51. | |
another victory but Dundee United might yet have something to say. | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
Mckay Stephen's effort saved well by Forster. Reasonably harmless and it | :26:58. | :26:58. | |
was originally it I Mckay Stephen. Not decisive. Hoisted away. Then | :26:59. | :27:12. | |
hoisted back in. Ambrose heads clear. United fans wanted a free | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
kick for a push there. Forster is called into action once again as it | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
is busted towards goal by Armstrong. I thought our second-half play was | :27:23. | :27:47. | |
very good. I thought we got nervous, a bit at times. The second half we | :27:48. | :27:54. | |
were better with more energy and had a few chances which was pleasing. I | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
just thought it was a bit too late will stop Billy, you were impressed | :27:59. | :28:16. | |
by the interplay upfront? They did what Dundee United have been doing | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
two teams all season. Interchanging. You see Kris Commons here on the | :28:22. | :28:28. | |
left. Their move meant was absolutely excellent. Samaras. All | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
fees and they have been excellent. You see Stokes again, he is the one | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
who drops, this time Kris Commons comes in. The finishing and the pace | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
was excellent. They did that all game. They were comfortable. The | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
Celtic story has moved on today with the SFA, the police and Celtic | :28:53. | :29:00. | |
themselves investigating footage of Leigh Griffiths apparently singing | :29:01. | :29:04. | |
offensive songs about the former hearts midfielder Rudi Scutt shall. | :29:05. | :29:12. | |
Neil Lennon has said in the past that any player involved in this | :29:13. | :29:21. | |
kind of behaviour would be sacked. -- Rudi Satchel. I do not see the | :29:22. | :29:31. | |
club sacking him. Neil Lennon has been put in an horrendous edition by | :29:32. | :29:44. | |
the actions of Leigh Griffiths. I think people deserve a second chance | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
but I would be making sure he realises this sort of behaviour is | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
not acceptable. They could even suspend him to the end of the | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
season. They have won the league, they are not in the cup, they could | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
do something like that to put a strong message out there but I do | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
not see them sacking him. This player has put him in an impossible | :30:10. | :30:16. | |
situation. It is almost impossible but I am sure they can come up with | :30:17. | :30:25. | |
something. They could put him on the transfer list, I do not think they | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
will sack him, I think they will try to spin it another way because he is | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
doing so well but they cannot be seen to be doing things like that. | :30:35. | :30:39. | |
Neil Lennon is in a difficult situation. It will be difficult to | :30:40. | :30:47. | |
see how he handles the situation. OK. Always plenty riding on the | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
Highland derby. Ross County in need of points to escape the play-off | :30:55. | :30:56. | |
place scramble. Tremarco. He miss controlled and | :30:57. | :31:35. | |
then followed through. The referee comes over. This is going to be a | :31:36. | :31:44. | |
yellow card. He led with the leg and did not get it down, that could have | :31:45. | :31:51. | |
been read. Here is Greg Tanzi. 20 of power on that. Back onto Aaron | :31:52. | :32:02. | |
Doran. The wonderful goal! The goalkeeper could do nothing about | :32:03. | :32:14. | |
this. Trying to move away from Raven. He steps inside. A nice | :32:15. | :32:24. | |
little ball across. It is then! An overhead kick. Caley Thistle players | :32:25. | :32:34. | |
think his boot is a little high. This man will be credited with the | :32:35. | :32:41. | |
equaliser. It is driven in. A good blog from Boyd. An opportunity | :32:42. | :32:47. | |
moving forward. That is the shout for a penalty. It is a strong one, | :32:48. | :32:54. | |
too. Here they come again. The header. That seemed to get played | :32:55. | :33:07. | |
into the head. Liam Shinnie is going to get a yellow card. If you have | :33:08. | :33:14. | |
given a foul inside the box it is a penalty. Inverness Caley Thistle. | :33:15. | :33:23. | |
Tremarco. Back onto Aaron Doran. Billy McKay is available again. It | :33:24. | :33:30. | |
breaks again. Billy McKay is the man again for Caley Thistle. It has been | :33:31. | :33:38. | |
hard-fought. It continues to be hard-fought. Billy McKay trying to | :33:39. | :33:43. | |
get away from Boyd. It is delightful. For the crossbar. What a | :33:44. | :33:51. | |
finish that would have been to the game for Billy McKay. What skill. It | :33:52. | :33:58. | |
keeps as on the shirt tails of Dundee United. I think there were | :33:59. | :34:06. | |
two sendings-off in the game. Tremarco and Shinnie. There should | :34:07. | :34:14. | |
also have been a penalty in the game. I feel really hard done to | :34:15. | :34:21. | |
tonight. Let's have a look at those incidents. Tremarco with the first | :34:22. | :34:29. | |
one. I think in the modern game when you go like that and the studs are | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
going I think you are running the risk of a red card. For this one, | :34:35. | :34:42. | |
there is no contact on that. He is rolling about there but it is not | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
the booking for me because there was no contact. This one is the bizarre | :34:48. | :34:52. | |
situation all around. It is clearly inside the box but you can see here, | :34:53. | :34:59. | |
he kicks the ball. His book is high. The head is down. Anywhere else you | :35:00. | :35:05. | |
would get a free kick but it is not a booking so it should have been a | :35:06. | :35:13. | |
penalty. I have never seen a ball being played like that. Because the | :35:14. | :35:27. | |
referee thinks it is a foul. I am not sure of the distance at the | :35:28. | :35:34. | |
should have given the penalty but I do not think it was a penalty | :35:35. | :35:41. | |
because the guy had his head low. I just cannot believe that. I am just | :35:42. | :35:49. | |
confused about this. John Hughes did not make much of this. I suppose his | :35:50. | :35:57. | |
side won the game in the end. When you look at this and you see this | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
year. Meetings with the head bandage. I think that could have | :36:02. | :36:10. | |
easily been a free kick. Penalty? No chance. There is not enough contact. | :36:11. | :36:23. | |
I think a little short talk is not a lot of contact but it is enough to | :36:24. | :36:31. | |
put you off balance. There is no momentum, or contact to pull him | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
down, he could have stayed on his feet. If that was me and that big | :36:36. | :36:42. | |
centre half was in there I am going to go down. You were not impressed | :36:43. | :36:48. | |
by some of the formations use from Ross County. I have not been | :36:49. | :36:55. | |
impressed. Now he plays a diamond and all night long Inverness had | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
freedom in wide areas. John Robertson and I were talking about | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
it. You see it played wide. Look at the room they have. It is the | :37:07. | :37:13. | |
strange formation to set up against Inverness. If you have not got any | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
white men supporting the fullbacks it will cause trouble. It is a great | :37:20. | :37:30. | |
goal, do not get me wrong. He is in a wide area. It was evident all | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
night long and he did stick it we well. He had the freedom of the | :37:36. | :37:43. | |
pitch. Now let as look at the premiership table as it stands. St | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
Mirren cannot be caught so it looks like the championship next season | :37:49. | :37:57. | |
for hearts. Partick Thistle now in the second bottom spot. Kilmarnock a | :37:58. | :38:05. | |
point behind Hibernian and Hibernian take on Aberdeen tomorrow night at | :38:06. | :38:14. | |
Easter Road. Hibernian are in a terrible run of form. One win in | :38:15. | :38:24. | |
their last 13 matches. Billy, can you see them getting anything from | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
Aberdeen? You need a result from somewhere. They need inspiration. | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
They are in by far the poor run of form out of any of the bottom four | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
or five teams. Looking at current form I do not see them winning, they | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
will have to play a lot better than what they have been doing. And after | :38:47. | :38:54. | |
tomorrow night, Michael, there is a break next weekend because of the | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
Scottish cup but the next league game is against St Mirren and St | :38:59. | :39:04. | |
Mirren have just got to win. Their confidence will be high. They have | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
got to find something from somewhere. We have been saying there | :39:08. | :39:13. | |
are plenty of teams all them but if they do not win games they are in | :39:14. | :39:20. | |
trouble of getting pulled into that play-off spot. Rangers were | :39:21. | :39:31. | |
favourites up against Easter Ross. Rangers with a better chance. | :39:32. | :39:39. | |
Frustrations were taken out on the post. The post was then hit by this | :39:40. | :39:48. | |
short but it would be 0-0 after 90 minutes. Towards the end the expense | :39:49. | :39:52. | |
managed to get the chance for Raith Rovers. The Raith Rovers fans went | :39:53. | :40:00. | |
wild. The winners of the Ramsden's cup. Delhi, you were at this team as | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
well. Where Raith Rovers deserved winners? -- Willie. Yes, take | :40:07. | :40:15. | |
nothing away from Raith Rovers, we have to get them all the | :40:16. | :40:21. | |
compliments. I did not think Rangers fans could be tortured any more this | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
season. That was one of the worst performances I have seen. The really | :40:27. | :40:36. | |
proud moment for these players and for Kirkcaldy as a whole as they | :40:37. | :40:45. | |
went to collect the trophy. A fantastic evening for the players | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
and the supporters of Raith Rovers made all the more special for | :40:50. | :40:56. | |
beating a club the size of Rangers. They will be celebrating big time. | :40:57. | :41:05. | |
How surprised were you, Billy, that Rangers did not win it? I did not | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
think they would be pushovers. I was surprised however. Great stuff. And | :41:12. | :41:31. | |
so, a busy weekend of Scottish Cup action next weekend on Sportscene. | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
We've got highlights of the first semifinal between Rangers and Dundee | :41:35. | :41:46. | |
United on Saturday night. We have talked about how Rangers were today. | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
Then the United certainly have much better players and no disrespect to | :41:52. | :42:00. | |
Raith Rovers. It is not a good game. The gap has been bridged because of | :42:01. | :42:05. | |
the Rangers fans at Ibrox, the warm venue. It will be a good game but | :42:06. | :42:13. | |
Rangers have to play a lot better or Dundee United will wipe the floor | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
with them. Let's talk about that first semifinal first. You think | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
that the United are favourites going in against Rangers? I think they | :42:25. | :42:29. | |
probably are. The controversy around the tickets and the stadium, being | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
at Ibrox, I think when you see a poor performance from Rangers like | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
that and Dundee United being beaten against Celtic, Dundee United will | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
go in with the belief that they will get something out of it. They are | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
playing against Rangers from the third flight and if Rangers play | :42:49. | :42:54. | |
anything like they did today Dundee United will punish them. St | :42:55. | :43:02. | |
Johnstone yet to win any major silverware. And then on Sunday we're | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
live at Ibrox as St Johnstone take on Aberdeen. That will be a tight | :43:08. | :43:15. | |
one. The momentum behind Aberdeen this season, they have had such a | :43:16. | :43:28. | |
great year so far. The tips for manager of the year, still not sure | :43:29. | :43:35. | |
if they will finish second, still potentially fighting of Motherwell. | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
Does he need to do more to seal the deal in terms of manager of the | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
year? No, but I think they are favourites for the double. They have | :43:47. | :43:52. | |
got the monkey off of their backed by getting the cup final win against | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
Inverness. It will be closer than you think because St Johnstone | :43:58. | :44:02. | |
played better than what the score line suggested in the 4-0 game. They | :44:03. | :44:09. | |
would be due one but you have to fancy Aberdeen to go on and get | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
through to the final once more. Who is in the final for you? I think it | :44:15. | :44:21. | |
will be an Aberdeen versus Dundee United final. The focus next | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
weekend, the Scottish Cup. Thank you. The focus this weekend, the | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
relegation of Hearts after 31 years in the top flight of Scottish | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
football. From all of us here, goodnight. | :44:33. | :44:43. |
