:00:43. > :00:50.When it comes to this stage of the Scottish Cup, it is a hard task to
:00:51. > :00:56.guess what the outcome will be. It is 2-1 Aberdeen! Last year's
:00:57. > :01:05.runners-up, Hibernian is, did not expect to fall flat against Raith
:01:06. > :01:10.Rovers. And lead to's Albion Rovers continue to defy expectations.
:01:11. > :01:16.Albion Rovers scored a second. And today, Dundee United last tasted
:01:17. > :01:21.Scottish Cup success in 2010, but Jackie MacNamara makes sense his
:01:22. > :01:27.young sparks produced more against St Mirren at this stage, with all
:01:28. > :01:33.cards on the table, anything is possible when it comes to the magic
:01:34. > :01:39.of the Scottish Cup. Good evening, we are dealing with a
:01:40. > :01:44.double dose of Scottish Cup sports scene -- programme Krug on and
:01:45. > :01:50.tonight is no different. But Nevin and Steven Thompson joining us. And
:01:51. > :01:54.his side would round up this weekend with a showdown against Dundee
:01:55. > :01:59.United. The side Dundee United famously beat last playing the
:02:00. > :02:02.Scottish Cup seven years ago. And the team from the east is not
:02:03. > :02:07.lacking in support. They are at the far end, these other bodies. It goes
:02:08. > :02:20.to Ferguson. And there it goes, St Mirren have
:02:21. > :02:26.won the Cup. Jubilation of the St Mirren players and their
:02:27. > :02:36.supporters. They are overjoyed. The underdogs have done it.
:02:37. > :02:37.With history repeat itself or with United emerge victorious?
:02:38. > :02:48.Commentator Paul Mitchell. All four divisions being
:02:49. > :02:52.represented. Two top division sides so far, there's guaranteeing about
:02:53. > :02:58.and with either competition is unfolding, would expect an extra
:02:59. > :03:03.spring in the step. United want to prove they can dazzle after shining
:03:04. > :03:07.so brightly with a stunning November and early November, St Mirren need
:03:08. > :03:11.more players to shoulder the goal-scoring burden shouldered by
:03:12. > :03:21.Steven Thompson. Dundee United held by Partick Thistle 21-1. Farid El
:03:22. > :03:27.Alagui steps onto the bench as Ryan Gauld returns.
:03:28. > :03:33.John McGinn was booked in both games against Queen of the South than
:03:34. > :03:41.suspended. Paul McGowan, Kenny McLean and Eric Djemba-Djemba makes
:03:42. > :03:46.his St Mirren debut. And stop with the Paisley Saints,
:03:47. > :03:51.his agenda may be to secure a World Cup place with Cameron, but his
:03:52. > :03:57.dreams may propel St Mirren pass Dundee United today. And at a time
:03:58. > :04:02.for Ryan Gauld, two substitution appearances in his last three, back
:04:03. > :04:10.in the starting line-up. And Steven Thompson, 13 goals so far this term.
:04:11. > :04:12.Certainly the danger mark. Craig Thomson is this afternoon's man in
:04:13. > :04:24.the middle. In the last three matches, the
:04:25. > :04:30.victorious team have found the net four times.
:04:31. > :04:39.The request is more of that, please. And bouncing off the boot their
:04:40. > :04:47.Jason Naismith. Mark Wilson will come across this left-hand side to
:04:48. > :04:53.take the first corner of the match. Gary Mackay-Steven had started a
:04:54. > :05:01.run. A solid header away by McAusland. A good sliding challenge
:05:02. > :05:24.by Paul Paton. Safety first from Darren McGregor.
:05:25. > :05:32.Thompson, taking it down, but Cierzniak putting it away.
:05:33. > :05:46.Almost a decent ball, but Gauld did not get there. Steven Thompson was
:05:47. > :05:58.onside. And came through and tested the fingers and hands of Cierzniak.
:05:59. > :05:59.Paul Paton, working towards Gary Mackay-Steven, and effective from
:06:00. > :06:23.Conor Newton. A chance, but a good hold, Stuart
:06:24. > :06:26.Armstrong breaking through at the edge of the box. Robertson has
:06:27. > :06:27.already is there not as he will cause problems down the left-hand
:06:28. > :06:51.side. -- has already served notice. Great tracking back, taken by Marian
:06:52. > :06:56.Kello. Eric Djemba-Djemba, already one, might get a quiet word as he
:06:57. > :07:04.wants fast. Great play into the box, and a terrific recovery challenge. I
:07:05. > :07:07.wonder if you will be happy enough, Danny Lennon, and his Cowdenbeath
:07:08. > :07:11.side against Dundee United in the League Cup, Cowdenbeath on the wrong
:07:12. > :07:27.side of a 5-1 scoreline. Ciftci across, straightened by Ryan
:07:28. > :07:34.Gauld! -- Street in. Dundee United take the lead after 21 minutes.
:07:35. > :07:47.Djemba-Djemba could not fear the challenge, he feared a yellow card
:07:48. > :07:53.coming. Good acceleration by Nadia Nadim G, and Ryan Gauld was another
:07:54. > :07:58.head of the defender, the first goal for Ryan Gauld here, his seventh of
:07:59. > :08:11.the season. -- good acceleration by Nadir Ciftci.
:08:12. > :08:22.A penalty has been given. He was right behind the challenge, Paton
:08:23. > :08:29.and Wilson look at each other. Kenny McLean into the box, and the two
:08:30. > :08:35.challenges together may have been innocuous on their own, but Mark
:08:36. > :08:39.Wilson certainly comes across with a bump and St Mirren have a perfect
:08:40. > :08:47.chance to get back in the match. Kenny McLean has been successful
:08:48. > :08:51.from the spot once season. -- this season. Steps up, cool as you like.
:08:52. > :08:57.The goalkeeper the wrong way, the penalty into the right place and St
:08:58. > :09:02.Mirren are level, 26 minutes gone. That is how to take a penalty kick.
:09:03. > :09:17.He was turning away before the ball. Dawn into the corner. -- gone into.
:09:18. > :09:26.Wonderful control, good save, Marian Kello. He had to look lively here,
:09:27. > :09:31.great ball in to Gary Mackay-Steven, decent control, ball into the
:09:32. > :09:33.ground, always making it difficult for a goalkeeper, but Marian Kello
:09:34. > :09:48.saving it well. Great touch, sliding in was John
:09:49. > :10:03.Souttar. That is a great ball, and a
:10:04. > :10:06.wonderful save as well, Ciftci doing the right thing, back across the
:10:07. > :10:13.goalkeeper, but Marian Kello realised it to, a clip all in, and a
:10:14. > :10:18.good wave from Marian Kello. Armstrong putting the ball across,
:10:19. > :10:30.the held up -- the header as well was delicate, but denied.
:10:31. > :10:43.The first have to comes to a close. Ryan Gauld got the final touch to
:10:44. > :10:47.steer United ahead after 21 minutes. The penalty calmly tucked away to
:10:48. > :10:58.bring St Mirren level. It is level at half-time.
:10:59. > :11:05.And at the start of the second half, Dundee United have reached the water
:11:06. > :11:10.finals in each of the last four seasons, twice into the semifinals
:11:11. > :11:13.pages against the Mirren, who have been at the quarterfinals in five of
:11:14. > :11:21.the last six seasons, will something give this afternoon and go to a
:11:22. > :11:24.replay? St Mirren, something of the replay experts, seventh of the last
:11:25. > :11:33.11 Scottish Cup dies ending with replay is. -- replays.
:11:34. > :11:44.Rankin with a good run, but Marian Kello guarding his post. Quickstart
:11:45. > :12:00.to second half Dundee United. Rankin causing the problems down the left.
:12:01. > :12:14.Nice play. Djemba-Djemba had a little nibble, and I'd yellow card
:12:15. > :12:17.-- a yellow card. Jim Goodwin trying to can someone down, but
:12:18. > :12:30.Djemba-Djemba just backing into Robertson.
:12:31. > :12:38.John Rankin taking too long, breaking out wide, and Gary
:12:39. > :12:54.Mackay-Steven thundered across. United camped in the area. Turned
:12:55. > :13:00.away again by Marc McAusland. And up temples start to the second half
:13:01. > :13:11.Dundee United. -- up temp. Got the crowd right into this game.
:13:12. > :13:20.Kenny McLean missing at the first thing, like to play in a second. --
:13:21. > :13:31.at the first time, getting to play a second.
:13:32. > :13:43.It was pressure, pressure and more pressure and eventually Dundee
:13:44. > :13:48.United find a way through! And Nadir Ciftci, with just one goal in his
:13:49. > :13:51.last 12, strong with the header, an absolute onslaught from Dundee
:13:52. > :13:59.United, and in Mirren simply could not clear the lines. Ciftci down to
:14:00. > :14:09.Gauld, deflection across, and Gary Mackay-Steven bladed up and Nadir
:14:10. > :14:13.Ciftci did the rest. Out to Gary Mackay-Steven was fortuitous, the
:14:14. > :14:18.header simply powerful, Dundee United back ahead, Nadir Ciftci the
:14:19. > :14:26.scorer. Not the start to the second half Danny Lennon imagined. Once
:14:27. > :14:32.more from his side now. -- wants more. The pressure is telling again.
:14:33. > :14:45.Ryan Gauld almost finishing this type of -- finishing this off.
:14:46. > :14:57.Always looks to be in control, and Marian Kello, important fingertips.
:14:58. > :15:13.United continue to look like you are -- looked the likelier.
:15:14. > :15:23.Led by Marian Kello. He drew the defender. A wonderful chip across. A
:15:24. > :15:41.bit more height, who knows? The free kick will go against Gary
:15:42. > :15:43.Mackay-Steven. He will have to be careful, they are starting to mount
:15:44. > :16:02.up, the fouls that he has conceded. Denied by the diving figure of
:16:03. > :16:08.Radoslaw Cierzniak. A great delivery from Gary Teale. Steven Thompson's
:16:09. > :16:19.header had power. The goalkeeper flung himself to the side. Paul
:16:20. > :16:21.Paton is furious with the decision. Just enough to bowl over the player,
:16:22. > :16:44.Kenny McLean. Just driven wide by Darren McGregor.
:16:45. > :16:48.He is a centre-half with silky skills, he brought it down
:16:49. > :17:07.beautifully. Plenty of power. A bit unlucky.
:17:08. > :17:17.He ran into Darren McGregor, there was nowhere for the defender to go.
:17:18. > :17:27.The Dundee United fans think it should have been a penalty.
:17:28. > :17:35.Great action at the end of the match. Dundee United wanted a
:17:36. > :17:42.penalty, did not come. It opened up for Ryan Dow, but Marian Kello keeps
:17:43. > :17:46.St Mirren in the tie. John Rankin goes down, but there is nowhere for
:17:47. > :17:56.Darren McGregor to go. If that is given, it is harsh. It will be an
:17:57. > :18:05.interesting quarterfinals, all four divisions represented.
:18:06. > :18:15.They will not have time to take the throwing, it is joy for Jackie
:18:16. > :18:18.McNamara and Dundee United. It was the onslaught at the start of the
:18:19. > :18:24.second half that for the difference. Dundee United win on the day and
:18:25. > :18:27.take their place in the quarterfinal of the Scottish Cup. It finished
:18:28. > :18:36.2-1. We had enough chances to kill the
:18:37. > :18:43.game, some good chances in the first half, and Marian Kello made a couple
:18:44. > :18:49.of key saves, you are maybe thinking the worst, but I am delighted to be
:18:50. > :18:59.in the next round. They click a bit more in the final third. In terms of
:19:00. > :19:02.the football we have played, we had a feud that failed to bring that
:19:03. > :19:09.level of performance today. Unfortunately, it is such an
:19:10. > :19:15.important game, and you do not get a second opportunity. It is not an
:19:16. > :19:20.easy draw, no matter where we go. Stranraer, it will not be an easy
:19:21. > :19:30.place to go, they will make it tough for us. Inverness, we would be
:19:31. > :19:33.looking for revenge. It is a cup tournament, if you want to win the
:19:34. > :19:40.cup, you have to beat everybody in front of you. I do not care who
:19:41. > :19:45.comes, we just have to beat them. A fantastic result for Dundee
:19:46. > :19:52.United, they through to the quarterfinals for a fifth season in
:19:53. > :19:59.a row. Commiserations, what was your summary? We had a poor first half,
:20:00. > :20:04.we were too worried about Gary Mackay-Steven and Stuart Armstrong.
:20:05. > :20:13.We were dropping deep to cover them and we let John Rankin and Paul
:20:14. > :20:17.Paton dictate the match. Andrew Robertson and Gary Mackay-Steven had
:20:18. > :20:21.a field day. In the second half, they put us under immense pressure
:20:22. > :20:27.for the first ten minutes, and you could tell the golf was coming.
:20:28. > :20:33.Then, they scored, we were under such pressure. In the last 20
:20:34. > :20:37.minutes, we brought Gary Teale on, excellent to get him back, we
:20:38. > :20:44.thought we might create something, but too little, too late. We did not
:20:45. > :20:58.deserve anything. Were Dundee United he deserved winners? Buy a decent
:20:59. > :21:05.distance. Whether they would get it back, or when they would get it
:21:06. > :21:11.back, they got it back today, up until 75 minutes, they were the
:21:12. > :21:18.better side. Ryan Gauld went away, but he came back. The dear city
:21:19. > :21:26.drifted around, both of them involved.
:21:27. > :21:32.They got to the byline so many times. It is the willingness to get
:21:33. > :21:40.forward. We talk about the Dundee United players, Ryan Gauld needed a
:21:41. > :21:46.lift of confidence after his difficult times, and that is a
:21:47. > :21:53.brilliant goal. It is a great front post run, he had a good match. St
:21:54. > :21:59.Mirren got back into the game with a penalty kick. You disagree about the
:22:00. > :22:05.merits or otherwise! For me, it is a clear penalty. The referee is in a
:22:06. > :22:12.wonderful position, Kenny McLean is driving with the ball, and Marc
:22:13. > :22:18.Wilson hangs out a leg. That is where the hit happens. He has
:22:19. > :22:24.already passed it. Has he brought him down in the box? He has run
:22:25. > :22:29.directly into the player. It is a tough one, the referee was in a
:22:30. > :22:37.brilliant position. He did get in the right position. But have a close
:22:38. > :22:46.look. He placed the ball, he makes the pass. A quarter of a second
:22:47. > :22:54.later, he is brought down. I concede your point, but I think he runs into
:22:55. > :22:59.a group of defenders. I do not blame the referee for giving that. They
:23:00. > :23:10.will call it a score draw! We mentioned now the seat -- Nadir
:23:11. > :23:17.Ciftci, he has become an important player. Yes, they are all very good
:23:18. > :23:21.footballers. I was worried about him beforehand, they were losing
:23:22. > :23:28.confidence, but not here, the confidence was great. I am sure
:23:29. > :23:33.about the cross. As a striker, you love that cross coming in. But you
:23:34. > :23:39.are going to talk about defenders. It is the ideal pass, Sean Kelly
:23:40. > :23:46.could have defended a bit wetter, opened his body up, and put Nadir
:23:47. > :23:50.Ciftci of, but for me, I would have done the same, you get on top of the
:23:51. > :23:57.fallback, you do not let him have the opportunity to jump, and it is a
:23:58. > :24:01.simple goal. Before Christmas, we raved about Dundee United, they went
:24:02. > :24:05.on a fantastic run of form, then after Christmas, it fell apart.
:24:06. > :24:11.There were signs today that they have got the flow back. The players
:24:12. > :24:21.getting confidence, and one of the best ways is to play one and two
:24:22. > :24:28.touch football between each other. One touch, two touches, quick. The
:24:29. > :24:33.defenders have not done anything wrong, and it is a great tackle to
:24:34. > :24:39.stop it. When they were doing that, that is them back to their best. The
:24:40. > :24:44.speed of the break is fantastic, they are coming at you from a dozen
:24:45. > :24:50.different angles. Nadir Ciftci's movement is excellent. It is a
:24:51. > :24:57.wonderful save. He is doing that week in, week out. How did this
:24:58. > :25:02.affect the way St Mirren played? We were awfully deep, and when we got
:25:03. > :25:04.forward, we did not have any numbers forward, because we were
:25:05. > :25:12.concentrating on stopping the quality players. That is a wonderful
:25:13. > :25:15.pass, and another great save. They are all good footballers, they all
:25:16. > :25:21.have good vision and touches, at their best. We allowed them to play
:25:22. > :25:27.today. In the last game against them, we did not allow them to
:25:28. > :25:33.play. There was a chance for a St Mirren equaliser, it hit your head.
:25:34. > :25:39.I knew I had made a good connection. It is a good height for the
:25:40. > :25:44.goalkeeper. I would try to head that down into the ground. I got the
:25:45. > :25:50.first bit right, but I needed another foot or so lower, and it
:25:51. > :25:54.might have sneaked in. It was flat cap Sunday for a lot of St Mirren
:25:55. > :26:01.fans, Eric Djemba-Djemba arrived in a storm of publicity with the fact
:26:02. > :26:07.cap. St Mirren fans decided to copy his style. How was his debut? As a
:26:08. > :26:14.former Manchester United player, you will get attention. He is lucky.
:26:15. > :26:22.Have a look at where the ball is when he makes the tackle, five yards
:26:23. > :26:30.away. He is not 100% fit, he was not moving quick enough. It is tough,
:26:31. > :26:39.though. To get shoved into a top game, he did look off the pace. He
:26:40. > :26:43.has got obvious quality. He is not match fit, he has not played a game
:26:44. > :26:49.in a couple of months, he has only had three or four days training. The
:26:50. > :26:59.sartorial choices have made a huge impact, have you got a flat cap?
:27:00. > :27:07.Unfortunately not, but Pat does. Does it affect his nickname in the
:27:08. > :27:19.dressing room? Not yet. Is everything nickname? We need to come
:27:20. > :27:26.up with something. You were a St Mirren fan when they last won the
:27:27. > :27:33.cup. This could be your last season, maybe next season. The most
:27:34. > :27:40.frustrating thing, when Celtic were put out, it becomes wide open.
:27:41. > :27:46.Anybody in the quarterfinals can win it, as we proved last year with the
:27:47. > :27:50.League Cup. It was an opportunity to put ourselves in the quarterfinal,
:27:51. > :27:56.but we did not bring enough to the game today. It was a fantastic day
:27:57. > :28:02.yesterday, the magic of the cup very much in evidence. We start with the
:28:03. > :28:09.Premiership sides, and there were one or two scalps along the way.
:28:10. > :28:15.Celtic were unbeaten in their last 18 against Aberdeen, but they have
:28:16. > :28:25.not beaten them in the Scottish Cup at Celtic Park since 1951. Not the
:28:26. > :28:27.type Aberdeen wanted, the toughest one on paper, but not the one Celtic
:28:28. > :28:36.wanted either. A brilliant goal from Anthony
:28:37. > :28:39.Stokes! A wonderful touch, he battled the ball in. Celtic have the
:28:40. > :28:57.initiative. It is parity at Celtic Park, Celtic
:28:58. > :29:00.have finally ceded a goal, and his Russell Anderson who volleys
:29:01. > :29:15.Aberdeen back on level terms. It is to cut -- it is 2-1, Aberdeen,
:29:16. > :29:22.he too bored to the game on its head. A wonderful finish. What a
:29:23. > :29:33.pass to open it up for Peter Pawlett. In off the woodwork.
:29:34. > :29:39.It is a good ball in by blue to -- by blue -- by Van Dijk, but put
:29:40. > :29:58.away! Considine of the post, but it stays
:29:59. > :30:06.2-1. A glorious afternoon for Aberdeen, putting the holders out of
:30:07. > :30:10.the William Hill Scottish Cup. A famous success for Aberdeen and
:30:11. > :30:18.Derek McInnes, their second massive victory in the space of one week.
:30:19. > :30:24.Obviously, you have to respect every other team that is in it, and there
:30:25. > :30:27.will be seven other teams in that quarterfinal with the same
:30:28. > :30:38.aspirations, just good to be in the fight.
:30:39. > :30:42.Hibs continued their love, hate, mainly hate relationship with the
:30:43. > :30:51.Scottish Cup, but the fate of their travelling supporters would be
:30:52. > :30:58.rewarded. Superb breakthrough for Raith Rovers! Additives Kevin Moon
:30:59. > :31:05.who has got them off to a flying start extra mark --!.
:31:06. > :31:12.Striking from here, lovely, from Sam Stanton, and Hibs with a quick
:31:13. > :31:39.response to follow behind. The second Raith Rovers goal
:31:40. > :31:50.additives Dougie Hill that has put his side back in front! -- and it is
:31:51. > :32:00.Dougie Hill. He is up, Hibs level once more, and Michael Nelson!
:32:01. > :32:11.It is in the net, additives Grant Anderson -- and it is Grant
:32:12. > :32:15.Anderson! Wonderful delivery and a wonderfully improvised by Kedah --
:32:16. > :32:32.improvised back header! Everyone just what does that looked
:32:33. > :32:37.against the crossbar. And tremendous victory from the Championships died.
:32:38. > :32:40.Grandmotherly, the ex-Hearts of Midlothian man, steers his side into
:32:41. > :32:51.the quarterfinals. It looked like business as usual
:32:52. > :32:56.when Aaron Doran put Premiership Inverness Caley Thistle 1-0 up
:32:57. > :33:03.against Stranraer, but on the stroke of half-time, the League One side
:33:04. > :33:11.won themselves a penalty, and Martin Keighley and convicted, 1-1 at the
:33:12. > :33:15.break. -- and Martin Grehan converted. In the second half, it
:33:16. > :33:19.looked like another shock in their hands, Jamie Longworth with his
:33:20. > :33:23.second goal of the season and Stranraer on the verge of a famous
:33:24. > :33:29.win, but that feeling lasted about a minute, Billy McKay, who else, with
:33:30. > :33:35.the Inverness equaliser and a replay for Stranraer. A tough game, just
:33:36. > :33:43.one shot of beating the bigger teams, giving it one shot and we
:33:44. > :33:47.will give it another go. Forfar Athletic had claimed the
:33:48. > :33:52.League Cup scalp of Rangers at Station Park back in August, but
:33:53. > :34:01.Premiership side, St Johnstone, were too much for their hosts.
:34:02. > :34:13.Flexed in, and it is Stevie May! Good save, but Frazer Wright knocked
:34:14. > :34:38.it in! Tried this straight -- tried the
:34:39. > :34:48.strike, and a great effort, but off the bar.
:34:49. > :34:56.First start for Michael O'Halloran, his first goal and St Johnstone are
:34:57. > :35:20.at 3-0. Fantastic result for Aberdeen, and I
:35:21. > :35:28.do not think many people saw that coming, and the two water finals --
:35:29. > :35:33.two Cup finals will be at Celtic Park. I disappointing not to at
:35:34. > :35:38.least make it to the final? It is the fact they will not be in either
:35:39. > :35:41.Cup vinyl, and a real shame, because you think of the utter domination
:35:42. > :35:45.Celtic have of Scottish football at the moment and they will only have
:35:46. > :35:51.one of three major trophies at the end of this season, and quite
:35:52. > :35:55.surprising, and to be out so early, I was quite shocked by it. But the
:35:56. > :36:00.one team I thought who would have given them a game would have been
:36:01. > :36:03.Aberdeen, more than anyone else, and the teams put out before hand looked
:36:04. > :36:09.at Aberdeen and said they had a chance. One of the most memorable
:36:10. > :36:13.goals scored by Grant Anderson of Raith Rovers.
:36:14. > :36:20.What did you make of this? If he meant it, it is the nominal, not
:36:21. > :36:26.sure if he is heading it onto an area behind him, but off the back of
:36:27. > :36:31.his head, and if he meant it, it is wonderful. I greatly add to put it
:36:32. > :36:36.weird he put it, an orthodox, but well done. -- great to put it where
:36:37. > :36:40.he put it. Raith Rovers not the only club
:36:41. > :36:54.booking a place in the last once. There would be at least one
:36:55. > :36:57.part-time team in the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup and it would be
:36:58. > :37:02.Dumbarton who would edit over the Alloa Athletic wasps. Colin Nish
:37:03. > :37:07.with the only goal of the game as the sons of the rock reach the
:37:08. > :37:12.quarterfinal stage for the first time in 35 years. And it might have
:37:13. > :37:19.been even more convincing for the visitors when goalkeeper Scott Bain
:37:20. > :37:27.crumpled Chris Cain in the box, but Scott Bain would redeem himself,
:37:28. > :37:36.before painless experience. -- before pain was experienced.
:37:37. > :37:47.League One Rangers took on League One Dunfermline Athletic at Ibrox.
:37:48. > :37:53.A free kick for Templeton. Weird he is dangerous. It comes to Dean
:37:54. > :38:06.Shiels and Rangers have the early initiative! Club said in, additives
:38:07. > :38:11.two for Rangers and two for Dean Shiels! -- clips it in and it is
:38:12. > :38:22.two. That is a third! No doubt surely
:38:23. > :38:31.about the outcome of this earth round tie. Rangers come forward.
:38:32. > :38:36.Looking to steam-rollered Duncan at the start of the second half, which
:38:37. > :38:45.is what Lee Wallace is doing, Dean Shiels tells him to leave it and has
:38:46. > :38:50.his hat-trick! After they are spectacular,
:38:51. > :38:53.giant-killing of Motherwell in the previous round, Albion Rovers would
:38:54. > :38:57.get a spectacular stroke of luck against then house in Europe, Ross
:38:58. > :39:07.McMillan with a spectacular foul of an own goal -- against
:39:08. > :39:14.Stenhousemuir. And Gary Phillips put the league side firmly in control.
:39:15. > :39:25.2-0 up and Albion Rovers stilted conceding they will -- still to
:39:26. > :39:30.concede a goal, and a chance to change that, but failing. Albion
:39:31. > :39:38.Rovers celebrating reaching the quarterfinals of the Scottish Cup
:39:39. > :39:42.for the first time in 80 years. They are favourites now, but again, we
:39:43. > :39:48.will take it as it comes, you want to dream big and why not? We will
:39:49. > :39:50.give it our best shot. The draw of the Scottish Cup finals was made and
:39:51. > :40:10.here it is... I am delighted to say, as if by
:40:11. > :40:15.magic, the manager of Albion Rovers has joined as in the studio,
:40:16. > :40:20.congratulations, thank you for joining us. What were celebrations
:40:21. > :40:24.like? You'll Hibs went on long into the night, judging by some of the
:40:25. > :40:31.text messages I got this morning. Everyone was ecstatic. What about
:40:32. > :40:36.this joy you have with Rangers at Ibrox? What does that mean to the
:40:37. > :40:40.club? Financially, are fantastic left in terms of what we can
:40:41. > :40:45.generate, and I looked at it from the footballing side of things, and
:40:46. > :40:48.my priority after the run we have been on is to get us in the best
:40:49. > :40:53.shape to get something from the game. You have not conceded a goal
:40:54. > :40:58.in your Scottish Cup run, unbelievable, and Gary Phillips such
:40:59. > :41:02.a star, getting that first goal against Motherwell to beat them,
:41:03. > :41:05.such a massive result for you guys, and he has followed it up yesterday
:41:06. > :41:13.with another strike which was really important. What is he like, how
:41:14. > :41:18.important has he been? He came from junior football, was playing with
:41:19. > :41:25.Largs the soul when we signed him and he had a season last year. --
:41:26. > :41:28.Largs Thistle. He is adjusting to playing professional football and
:41:29. > :41:32.you will get a series of games with his performance level is a certain
:41:33. > :41:37.level, such as against Motherwell, when he is performing well, and he
:41:38. > :41:41.is becoming more consistent, managing himself through games a lot
:41:42. > :41:46.better, and he has the ability to go further if he continues to develop.
:41:47. > :41:53.And the brass tacks, how much of a payday will this be for Albion
:41:54. > :41:58.Rovers at Ibrox? I will leave that to the chairman, but it will do a
:41:59. > :42:02.lot put us on a better fit. If that has a knock-on effect
:42:03. > :42:06.financially in terms of allowing me to bring in a British quality of
:42:07. > :42:09.player, then hopefully that is something we can benefit from next
:42:10. > :42:18.reason. At least six figures? Depends that
:42:19. > :42:28.you put the decimal point. You will play Rangers who beat Dunfermline
:42:29. > :42:33.4-0, a hat-trick from Dean Shiels, and how much of a challenge will
:42:34. > :42:37.this be? A massive challenge, we have played them before when not
:42:38. > :42:39.quite settled, but we are more organised and disciplined
:42:40. > :42:46.defensively and will make a much better game of it this time and make
:42:47. > :42:50.it more competitive. How much of an achievement is this for Albion
:42:51. > :42:55.Rovers, in League Two and in the final eight of the Scottish Cup?
:42:56. > :42:59.Brilliant, the message has to be go and enjoy it. Regardless of what
:43:00. > :43:05.happens at Ibrox, enjoy the occasion, and try to do your best,
:43:06. > :43:09.but a phenomenal achievement to get to the quarterfinal, brilliant to
:43:10. > :43:20.think they could get to the semifinal and win at Ibrox, and I am
:43:21. > :43:27.not sure whether or not--... It is a frame of mind, and we want to say
:43:28. > :43:30.anything is possible. There is one expectancy when it is a team won
:43:31. > :43:35.league above you, and anything is possible, and with the right mental
:43:36. > :43:41.attitude, we have a chance. The Scottish Cup being the most wide
:43:42. > :43:45.open for years. Astonishing, and even before the draw, this looked
:43:46. > :43:50.like a good Scottish Cup for Rangers, getting a draw that suits
:43:51. > :43:53.them, and this one does, if they can get past the mighty Raith Rovers to
:43:54. > :43:59.the semifinals, and a home game as well, looking good for them, but in
:44:00. > :44:03.the end, we are talking about money, but in the end, you are a football
:44:04. > :44:12.man, it your players will think of one thing only, and do a job. And
:44:13. > :44:16.there is a chance. Good luck, James. Thank you, and that is it, it is
:44:17. > :44:20.back to league duty next weekend with the results show on Saturday
:44:21. > :44:25.afternoon. And Premier ship highlights on Sunday night as well.
:44:26. > :44:32.If they are half as good as this weekend, we will do all right, 19 is
:44:33. > :44:38.remaining in the most open Scottish Cup for years, from here, good
:44:39. > :44:43.night. -- nine teams remaining.
