Rangers - the most successful team left in the competition lifted the | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
last of the first 33 Scottish Cups back in 2009 and they are favourited | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
to progress to the last four. They cruise into round six with a 4-0 | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
thumping of dun firm lin. -- Dunfermline. Standing in the way | :01:00. | :01:06. | |
are Albion rovers, who knocked out Motherwell along the way. It is an | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
all-Premiership affair at the Caledonian stadium. | :01:12. | :01:23. | |
Dundee United keep the lead. Dundee United tasted glory in 2010 | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
and will be desperate to repeat that in May. Before they can entertain | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
those thoughts, they will look to join Aberdeen and St Johnstone. | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
What a goal! The semi-finals at Ibrox beckon for | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
the winners of this weekend. Good evening. Welcome to Sportscene. | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
Albion rover's best effort came in 1920. Today they take on Rangers. | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Highlights coming up. We will bring you the action from today's other | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
quarter-final as Inverness Caledonian Thistle took on Dundee | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
United. Plus, all the action from yesterday. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
With me in the studio Pat Nevin and a very happy St Johnstone assistant | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
manager. We start at Ibrox. Rangers and Albion rovers may only be 16 | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
league places apart. In turns of fan base they occupy very different | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
worlds. Rangers cruised through as the bookie's expected, or would the | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
romance come for Rovers. 50 miles separates these clubs. One | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
division between them. All other aspects, they are worlds apart. | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
Rangers have reached the final of this competition 51 times. Albion | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
rovers are one of nine clubs to have reached and played in the Scottish | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
club final without tasting ultimate success. One resides in luxury, the | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
other will take the gate receipts of this tie. Together, they have both | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
earned the right to be in the quarter-finals. Rangers win agains | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
last weekend could be described as cool. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
Shiels and Dallas may be hard to stop. | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
Three changes for Albion rovers. Donnelly has played in the | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
competition. Wallace makes the chase. Wallace | :03:32. | :03:55. | |
just keeps it in. Templeton swings it and a header! | :03:56. | :04:09. | |
Just right from Dallas. Dallas has -- Daley has been such a | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
threat. A service like that, he was almost | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
number 24. McCoist is watching on. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
His side cannot afford any slip-ups today. | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
The corn ser a decent one. And Albion rovers have scored! | :04:35. | :05:01. | |
Donnelly has scored. Rangers conceded the Scottish Cup | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
for the first time this season. Albion rovers have yet to concede. | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
They are ahead again. They are ahead at Ibrox. What a moment for | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
Donnelly! Well the corner was deep, it was | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
delivered. The header across by McCulloch. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
That is the sweetest moment yet. Donnelly pokes the ball home. There | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
was nothing that Bell could do. I think the chairman is happy! | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
He's got a smile on his face. Daly with the run. | :05:41. | :05:52. | |
Daly moves it away. Templeton - easily away from him. | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
What a drag back. A little drag-back to the keeper, on | :05:56. | :06:07. | |
the right foot. Got it away from Law. | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
Either very calm or very mad! Ibrox remains hushed. | :06:14. | :06:25. | |
Relatively unconcerned. Here's Foster. | :06:26. | :06:37. | |
Turned away by Dunlop. They are throwing at themselves all over the | :06:38. | :07:03. | |
place, Albion rovers. There's llace. They scored after the 13th minute. | :07:04. | :07:08. | |
They have kept Rangers at bay since. The bad news for Albion Rovers, they | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
have another 45 to come. Dunlop again! | :07:13. | :07:22. | |
Well Dunlop has been the Man of the Match so far for Albion Rovers. A | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
good save from Parry. Dunlop was the man who was there. | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
Well McCoist had a few words at half time. | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
Daly that time! Good save from the goalkeeper. Turned away before Law | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
could get there. Albion Rovers continue to keep | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
Rangers at bay. The 41-year-old is enjoying. This came with hope. | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
A level of expectation now. Fostz fost inside on to -- Foster | :08:08. | :08:26. | |
inside on to on to Black. Rangers, every time he scores, they | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
could do with him finding the net. 24 points clear of Dumfermline in | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
the league. They have pressing concerns here at | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
I prox. Here's Foster. Play -- at Ibrox. Here's Foster. Plays it in. | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
Back on to Foster from Little. To Little it goes. Off the crossbar | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
by Templeton. No touch from the goalkeeper. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Rangers denied by the wood work. Well worked by Rangers. A good ball | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
in by Foster. Credit Templeton, getting across the defender. Not | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
been beaten too often this afternoon. A touch of the bar. | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
On to Daly. Really of had his chance to get | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
things moving. It's on to Aird. A touch behind by Dunlop. If he meant | :09:21. | :09:30. | |
that, I suspect he should play at the World Cup in Brazil. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
Rangers, whose unbeaten run stands at 33 games. They have won 31. They | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
have drawn against Stranraer. The ball ends up in the back of the | :09:44. | :10:04. | |
net and the referee. Has he given the goal or not? | :10:05. | :10:12. | |
Jim Beathard has given the -- John Beaton has given the goal. | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
The goalkeeper remains down and Albion Rovers are furious. It was | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
Templeton who played it in. Lifted it in. | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
The near-side assistant saw nothing wrong with it. Rangers are level. 13 | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
minutes to play. Did it come off the arm of Mohsni? | :10:43. | :10:55. | |
Albion Rovers unhappy at the circumstances. Those fans might be | :10:56. | :11:11. | |
dance dancing! So is the mind of Ally McCoist. | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
Templeton and Mohsni - created Rangers' equaliser. Almost got | :11:23. | :11:33. | |
Rangers ahead. I am not sure I would be prepared to get that cold! | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Mohsni - fur riffous with himself. He had a free header. | :11:38. | :11:44. | |
Of it has been shared by many a Rangers' player this afternoon. Just | :11:45. | :11:45. | |
couldn't rise enough. Of Little for the by-line. The low | :11:46. | :11:57. | |
ball across. Mohsni is there. Foster and Templeton. It is Templeton I's | :11:58. | :12:04. | |
all over! Albion Rovers get a draw at Ibrox. They have drawn here | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
before, but never under these circumstances. They were given a | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
chance. What a display for the men in red this afternoon! It has | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
finished. It is some cup tie. Rangers, one, Albion of Rovers, one. | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
When the subs came on, had to adjust it. Thought David would come on. | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
Were excellent. The effort was absolutely brilliant. I think | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
everybody was brilliant today. I am so disappointed it was 1-1. I am | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
gutted he got Man of the Match. I have to ask the Man of the Match one | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
thing - the one you tapped past the post r - did you mean it? I meant | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
it. It is one of those you stick out your foot and hope for the best. You | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
know? It is tough for the referee. Sometimes you get them, sometimes | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
you don't. It would be interesting to see if of that event let us 2-0 | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
up. It would be interesting to see the decision. We will not take it | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
away. It is a great effort from the boy. They can be proud of. That | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
there is a replay to be played. I will not focus on the goal that was | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
lost because that would takeaway from the immense effort they have | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
put in. I am so proud of them and they deserve everything that they | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
get in terms of plaudits from everybody. We will now focus on that | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
re-play. It was a fantastic result for Albion | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
Rovers. Unbelievable in some ways. Edge of the seat stuff. Given the | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
way the match panned out Albion Rovers - will they be feeling | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
gutted? Possibly. Let's be honest - Rangers for the better side. They | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
had loads more of the ball and more chances. They were the better side. | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
They deserved - in that way - they deserved to get another bite at the | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
cherry. However, are they basing how good they are against Albion Rovers. | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
Should they not be looking up a bit? Massive sympathy for Albion Rovers. | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
They were brilliant! The character in the game was tremendous. They got | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
the goal and put their bodies on the line. They gave everything for the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
manager. It was over 1,000 there. It was fantastic. They were unfortunate | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
not to sneak it. They get another chance in a couple of weeks' time. | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
It is a really, really great effort. It was a fantastic moment for | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
Donnelly. A moment he'll never forget, undoubtedly, as he gave | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
Albion Rovers the lead. What were your thoughts on the goal? | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
No doubt he'll be of delighted with himself. A good nod-down. I think | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
centre-forwards head-on there. If you are a smaller team, you put the | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
bodies in there. They looked dangerous when they were getting set | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
pieces tall way through. That is the moment, in the history of Scottish | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
football, if they managed to keep that 1-0 and they lj did. That will | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
be the moment that Ward would have dreamt about last night. Definitely. | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
You can tell, he had his head in his hands when the goal went in. Albion | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
rovers had to take a chance and they did. He'll remember that goal for a | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
long time. Absolutely! Rangers equalised through Mohsni. A bit of | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
debate about this goal. That is for sure! It stood. What is your view of | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
it? I can not remember another game in the last 15-20 years where a goal | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
would be allowed to stand. I think Mohsni is jumping for the ball. He's | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
got one eye on the goalie. The question is whether there was | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
contact with the goalie before he catches it? Does he catch with his | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
right arm? Here's the moment. For me Mohsni Has challenged the keeper | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
before it was reached. I don't think you are allowed to do it. Whether | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
you are looking at the ball or whether you are not, you have gone | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
and challenged before the ball has reached you. You have to hit the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
ball first. It is a close decision. In actual fact, it very rarely, you | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
get them. So often you see the referee protecting the goalkeeper. | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
You think that goal was fair and square? I think so n the end. I | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
think Mohsni has gone for the ball. I think the goalkeeper, he'll be | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
disappointed he was not stronger there. | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
I have seen, most of the time they are given, yeah, I do agree with | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
that. How can he be stronger? He's static! He's gone backwards. Mohsni | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
has all the momentum. I am struggling to blame the keeper at | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
all. A brilliant day. He was fab louss. It is just a real difficult | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
one. You see these decisions. -- fabulous. I think the comment from | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
the lad there, when they said, would they have got it up the other end? | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
To be honest, at the big clubs you generally don't. Albion rovers - | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
some -- Rovers, some last ditch tries. Trying to figure out who I | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
would put as Man of the Match. Russell was fantastic today. | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
That header - that was Dunlop. The two had been fantastic all the way | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
through. How about that! You can't do that! | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
A great bit of skill. And this is the one, you feel it is | :17:43. | :17:54. | |
going to be your day. That was my favourite moment of the | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
whole day - his smile when he turned around, as if to say - got away with | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
that one! You have to get away with those ones if you get through or get | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
to the next bit. Rangers still favourites to get through. Talk | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
about the replay possibly on Monday, 24th. We will see. If Rangers go on | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
and lift the Scottish Cup Duke of Yorks they have what it takes to | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
beat Premiership opposition? Vy problem with Rangers' performance | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
today. -- I have a problem with Rangers' performance today. Straight | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
to the keeper. Of long, into the book. Entered the box. This is not | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
sophisticated stuff and they did it time and time again. The reason they | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
are doing it is because it works at the lower levels. Do you know what - | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
when you get to higher levels you will not get away with that. McCoist | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
knows that. They have got into a hant of doing that. They will -- | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
into a habit of doing that. If they do that they have to stop relying on | :18:53. | :19:03. | |
it. Of earlier today inn and Dundee United went head -- Inverness | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
Caledonian Thistle and Dundee United went head-to-head. | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
Feelings are still raw, particularly for a United side, beaten on the | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
night. Inverness Caledonian Thistle have gone to the League Cup. This | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
time next week it will almost be show time for them. Minds cannot | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
drift to their first final. Four-four-two again today. The | :19:30. | :19:41. | |
difference is wingers have been brought infor this tie. Watson and | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
Doran are in from the start. United have the advantage in this | :19:45. | :20:40. | |
quarter-final. For me, they are in all sorts of | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
trouble. It was a back-four. Shouldn't be coming. Caught high up | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
the pitch. There was only one winner. He's got | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
pace. We know he can score goals. Meekings cannot get across. What a | :20:56. | :21:07. | |
finish! Take nothing away from Shinnie. | :21:08. | :21:16. | |
-- from Ciftci. Oh, it's a bad one! | :21:17. | :21:32. | |
It looked like it was there to be won. I think that's a clash. He goes | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
for the ball. No real intent there. Tansey scored in the... Oh, headed | :21:36. | :22:06. | |
across for McKay. No doubt Inverness are getting the | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
big guys up there. McKay tries to get it over. | :22:12. | :22:25. | |
Stuck to his line. Dillon's clearance. | :22:26. | :22:43. | |
Didn't catch it cleanly. Have to be careful! | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
Oh, and that comes back towards the goal. | :22:53. | :22:58. | |
What a horrible goal from an Inverness point of view. | :22:59. | :23:08. | |
I don't know what the Inverness defence are thinking. | :23:09. | :23:21. | |
I am fearing for them here. It's not your day. Brill doesn't catch it | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
properly. Back off Meekings. Ciftci has his | :23:27. | :23:39. | |
easiest task. A Dundee United free kick. | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
Paton takes the free kick. A big moment for Dundee United. | :23:50. | :23:59. | |
Watson could have put this tie to bed there. | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
Ran ran... -- Rank... It is a penalty. | :24:06. | :24:22. | |
Have a look at it. I think he's all the way down before | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
Shinnie gets there. It's in the box. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Calls it on the spot. A penalty kick. All the way against Inverness. | :24:31. | :24:39. | |
Have put Dundee United into the last four. Not even at half time here. | :24:40. | :24:51. | |
Emphatic penalty. Goal-scoring form. Smashes it to the middle of the | :24:52. | :24:52. | |
goal. Brill - no chance. It is going from bad to worse here | :24:53. | :25:19. | |
for Caley Thistle. Down to ten! Naughty! | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
I don't know where John Hughes will start with his team talk! You cannot | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
do that and expect to stay on the pitch. Sorry! | :25:28. | :25:55. | |
Here comes Shinnie. It's a good run from him. | :25:56. | :26:08. | |
He tests Cierzniak. It is the second time Shinnie gets involved in a | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
tackle on Armstrong. Cierzniak does well. | :26:16. | :26:23. | |
Armstrong... This is the danger! Caley Thistle trying to get back. It | :26:24. | :26:31. | |
's four! Wonderful counter attack from Dundee | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
United! And a higher lander! Surely now put them through! | :26:40. | :26:51. | |
Halfway line, run, running, never catching him. | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
Through the legs of Cierzniak. Nice and easy for United now. A | :26:59. | :27:10. | |
really good quarter-final record Dundee. Won three out of the last | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
four. Dundee were beating Rangers in 2010. Aberdeen, five years before | :27:17. | :27:23. | |
that, they lost out in 2012 and in the semi-finals last season. It's | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
Armstrong and it is five! They are making it look very, very | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
simple! Last year Young Player of the Year - | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
Stuart Armstrong, with his eighth goal of the season. A wonderful ball | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
in by Keith Watson. Inverness have lost | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
five goals for the second successive match. | :27:51. | :27:59. | |
It's red again! Of Caley Thistle down to nine men. | :28:00. | :28:13. | |
Watkins is off! I thought he makes a genuine attempt | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
for the ball. Dundee United's hopes of reaching a | :28:17. | :28:48. | |
tenth final very alive and kicking. They will go and ex exchange | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
handshakes. A five-star show from the Tangerines. | :28:56. | :29:02. | |
They will focus on the League Cup final. They will take Aberdeen on at | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
Celtic Park. Dundee United will go to Ibrox next month for the William | :29:08. | :29:11. | |
Hill Cup semi-finals. We have some young play yerps in the | :29:12. | :29:29. | |
dressing -- players in the dressing room. We get the chance to play, we | :29:30. | :29:38. | |
do it properly. Of I don't know what the rules are these days! Did | :29:39. | :29:48. | |
Watkins go over the ball? No. Have I seen guys? No. | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
He is wearing studs, but his foot is at the back of the ball, trying to | :29:54. | :29:59. | |
do no damage. The Dundee United boy kicked the soul of his foot - so it | :30:00. | :30:09. | |
is disappointing. That is Dundee United were good. We made it easy | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
for them. Every game in the semi-final is always difficult. | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
You know, we are determined to go... The semi-finals last year, | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
disappointed from that. Hopefully we can learn from that, and kick on. An | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
extraordinary match. Rankin gets the ball. He has to | :30:28. | :30:41. | |
close him down. There is a massive gap p inside | :30:42. | :30:49. | |
there. It is easy to go and find that space | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
there. When he finds the space and puts it through, you are in massive | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
trouble. I think the line of the back-four is | :31:00. | :31:04. | |
good there. One stays and one goes. It makes it | :31:05. | :31:14. | |
easy for Ciftci. I did feel slightly sorry for him. | :31:15. | :31:21. | |
The one thing about Dundee United, they started fighting. That is the | :31:22. | :31:26. | |
difference with them. And the second goal for Dundee United as well, it | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
came from Inverness being on the attack. I know. I don't want to go | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
on about all the problems they have in defence. We will go on to the | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
nice things in a minute. They are attacking, trying to get back into | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
the game. Here we have four - he's got to get there to give some cover. | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
That header should be out of play. It is OK, there were only two | :31:48. | :31:51. | |
mistakes. That pass-back should be... I mean, it is mistake, after | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
mistake, after mistake. Usually one mistake you will get away with. If | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
you make four in a row and one little move, you've no chance. I | :32:02. | :32:06. | |
think John Hughes will be disappointed. Inverness have been | :32:07. | :32:09. | |
strong. We've played them up there and they | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
were tre men douss. A different class. We couldn't break them down. | :32:13. | :32:18. | |
There, they were dis-- tremendous. A different class. We couldn't break | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
them down. There, they were disappointing. With as a defender | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
what, was your view of the penalalties? A difficult one -- | :32:27. | :32:34. | |
penalties? A difficult one, I think. I don't think Shinnie has seen him. | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
There's contact there. The question for me is, would bit a foul? The | :32:40. | :32:46. | |
looking at that angle, you would probably say, yes. A hard one to | :32:47. | :32:50. | |
give. I have given a few penalties like that. You have looking at the | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
ball. You don't know what's coming from behind you. It with us a isn't | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
it lating display from Dundee United on the hole. Are they back to what | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
oh -- on the whole. Are they back to what they were like? They have to | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
learn some lessons. The confidence has come back. The confidence has | :33:10. | :33:17. | |
come back. You see of Armstrong - they have a strut and a belief about | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
their play just now. Those two, with the pace they have got and the fact | :33:22. | :33:27. | |
they can keep real control - that was a great pitch today. A real run, | :33:28. | :33:33. | |
great pace. OK, you are against fewer men. A neat finish as well. I | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
think that belief is back now. If you go and they destroyed Hibs the | :33:39. | :33:44. | |
other night there, it was three, going on five stroke six. | :33:45. | :33:54. | |
Armstrong - a class player to. Me, that was a fantastic goal. Of all | :33:55. | :34:02. | |
the players at Dundee United I think Mandela may right Stuart the | :34:03. | :34:08. | |
highest. There was plenty of controversy in this match as well. | :34:09. | :34:17. | |
Should he have got away with this? It was horrible. We thought the | :34:18. | :34:25. | |
commentary, wait a minute, is that reckless or not? That, for me is a | :34:26. | :34:31. | |
straight leg and reckless. The referee is in a good position there. | :34:32. | :34:36. | |
He's quite close to it. He's close to every one of the incidents. | :34:37. | :34:44. | |
A red for Tansey - is that the right decision? What you can see, | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
obviously we are slowing this down. When it is in real time... Does that | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
make it worse? In real time it looks worse. The referee has nailed the | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
position. I didn't agree. I thought it was wrong on that occasion. I | :35:00. | :35:03. | |
thought he was too quick with his card. I take nothing from the | :35:04. | :35:05. | |
referee getting into the right position. But I am like John here, | :35:06. | :35:10. | |
if you make a tackle and try and get to the ball, he's going for the | :35:11. | :35:15. | |
ball. And you could argue that it is dangerous that he's off his feet,. | :35:16. | :35:22. | |
The I have seen the tackles and I think they are genuine, they are | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
just going for the ball. Nothing in it. The second didn't come off the | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
ground. He's trying to control it. He's not going at pace, to me. He | :35:32. | :35:35. | |
kicks the ball as well. I think the both of them, the first and third | :35:36. | :35:39. | |
one, probably to me, the second one definitely was not a sending off. | :35:40. | :35:45. | |
Inverness Caley Thistle have their league final next weekend. They had | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
five goals today and in their last game. They have a mid-week game | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
against Hibs. That is a problem, how do you approach it? Do you rest a | :35:55. | :36:00. | |
lot of players? That will be a difficult consideration as well. | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
They've had a couple of bad days at the office. Look at the league | :36:06. | :36:07. | |
position. Right up there. They needs to get some players back | :36:08. | :36:15. | |
on form again. Working the defence, making sure they do the simple | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
things again. Time now for a quick look back at | :36:20. | :36:25. | |
the two cup quarter-finals yesterday. | :36:26. | :36:41. | |
What a goal from Cardle! Oh, that is special stuff! | :36:42. | :37:11. | |
From the winger... We just knew when he Caught sight of goal that the | :37:12. | :37:12. | |
shot was on. Oh, it was on! A great one from Hasselbaink. What a | :37:13. | :37:34. | |
goal! St Johnstone back in front! They do have that early goal again. | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
Croft with a corner kick. Anderson has crept in. Surely now St | :37:40. | :37:50. | |
Johnstone have booked their place in the semi-final. I have players who | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
work extremely hard this season. They are disappointed with the | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
performance p and result against -- performance and result against | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
Aberdeen. It is Robson with this corner. What | :38:01. | :38:08. | |
can he conjure up? And that relieves some of the | :38:09. | :38:26. | |
nerves! Almost two in two for Jack. | :38:27. | :38:50. | |
Much better from Aberdeen since they scored the goal! | :38:51. | :38:57. | |
If you fancied a pop from outside the box there, Hayes is one of them. | :38:58. | :39:15. | |
Fleming's ball. That was a massive chance for Dumbarton, with just two | :39:16. | :39:22. | |
minutes left. They deserve huge credit. Although | :39:23. | :39:31. | |
at times we were not great, we were always competitive. We can look | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
forward to the draw, the semi-final, but also have a good week in | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
preparation for next week. We know the semi-final draw. Here it is: | :39:42. | :39:55. | |
Are you pleased with that? They'll all be tough. It will be a tough | :39:56. | :40:02. | |
tie. You'll have to win your games to get to the final, so it is tough. | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
It is Aberdeen again. They beat news the semi-final. You have not beat | :40:08. | :40:14. | |
them this season? Thanks for remaining me! They are a strong | :40:15. | :40:17. | |
team. We know it will be a tough game. We have struggled against them | :40:18. | :40:22. | |
this season. What do you make of the draw? A complete neutral in the | :40:23. | :40:32. | |
draw. Nothing person personal - - stop shaking your head. Any | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
combination could still be very good as well. We have no idea how it will | :40:38. | :40:44. | |
go. We've seen some close games. Dumbarton could have got drawn in | :40:45. | :40:53. | |
the last last seconds against Aberdeen. They will not be tired at | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
the end of this season, like some they are. It was a windy day | :41:00. | :41:08. | |
yesterday. Your side took the wind out of their sails early on. It was | :41:09. | :41:11. | |
a good up the He scored with his foot, not his | :41:12. | :41:33. | |
head. A good cup tie. We are pleased to get through the semis. | :41:34. | :41:42. | |
Knock me down! You are all right! Sorry! | :41:43. | :41:49. | |
These records will be broken. Aberdeen through to the semi-finals | :41:50. | :41:55. | |
as well. Thanks to Rooney's goal. He has added another dimension for | :41:56. | :41:58. | |
Aberdeen. I cannot get my head around how | :41:59. | :42:11. | |
he... It is because of the curl on the ball. I think Robson and Flood | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
and other players in the team will provide good supply and good | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
chances. It makes it look a really, really good and well-structured | :42:21. | :42:25. | |
side. Another team that can make three or four substitutions in | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
games. They have four or five or six other players that I can bring in | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
and they don't look that much weakened. Who will win the cup? | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
Nelson. Positive. Of course. You can not think of it | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
any other way? No point in saying... So, Sir Johnston, definitely. | :42:47. | :42:54. | |
A toss up between Aberdeen and Dundee United. If all play to the | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
best of their abilities, it is a toss-up between those two. I would | :42:59. | :43:04. | |
like to see a final. Still makes an interesting competition whatever | :43:05. | :43:06. | |
happens. There were two Premiership matches yesterday. In a moment we | :43:07. | :43:12. | |
will show you the action. First up it is Kilmarnock who faced Hearts. | :43:13. | :43:34. | |
It took Hearts three minutes to respond. | :43:35. | :43:37. | |
Good pace and putting his body on the line to make it 1-0. | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
-- 1-1. In the second half, Boyd's dummy set | :43:42. | :43:54. | |
Kilmarnock on a route to goal. Boyd finished off to make it 2-1. | :43:55. | :44:04. | |
And just two minutes after that, another rampaging run from McKenzie. | :44:05. | :44:16. | |
Boyd was there to make it 3-1. The sixth goal of the season. 18 in | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
total. You might be forgiven for thinking it was all over at this | :44:21. | :44:22. | |
point. King set up Robinson. The pieces were gathered up | :44:23. | :44:40. | |
skillfully in the end by Tesselaar. Hearts did have this head header | :44:41. | :45:14. | |
from him. You have to go back to 2010 and the | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
Fir Park side were given a start. Sutton with a finish | :45:21. | :45:40. | |
Just before half time, Hibs pulled one back. | :45:41. | :45:50. | |
Hutchinson's header was cleared. The ball was sent back to the box | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
for Foster to head the ball into the roof of the net. | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
And early on, in the second half, Hibs came close to an equaliser. | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
Collins shot off the post, the rebound into the arms of Hollis. | :46:04. | :46:14. | |
Terry Butcher's side did get back on level terms. | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
This head header, deemed to be over the line by the referee. Hibs turned | :46:20. | :46:26. | |
the game on its head. Hibs on top for the first time of | :46:27. | :46:44. | |
the afternoon. Motherwell were keen for an equaliser. | :46:45. | :46:52. | |
Both sides with a point a piece. OK, after all of that, the big | :46:53. | :47:00. | |
winners were Kilmarnock. They have moved three points ahead of St | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
Mirren, down there in the play-off place. | :47:05. | :47:12. | |
Pat, impressed by Tesselaar. This is my favourite skill, arguably | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
of the season in Scottish football. Come on - a double-drag. | :47:18. | :47:25. | |
This is the angle. Slows it down. Drag, drag, drag, nutmeg through! | :47:26. | :47:33. | |
They will show it a dozen times and it is fabulous. You tell me you | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
couldn't do that in your day? I would have fallen off. You didn't do | :47:38. | :47:44. | |
those sort of tricks those days. That's great! Great to see that. It | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
has been a great weekend. Next weekend is much the same. It is the | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
League Cup final. Live with us on sports on 2pm, join us. | :47:54. | :48:00. | |
It should be fantastic. Highlights on BBC One, 10. 0.25pm. We will | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
bring you the Premiership highlights as well it is Inverness of Caley | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
Thistle's first appearance in a league final. | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
Of how do you see it going? I think it will be really tight. I know | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
inverness have conceded a few goals lately. They are strong at the back. | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
Aberdeen, very similar. They don't give many goals away. The first goal | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
will be so important in the final. I think Aberdeen - this is what they | :48:28. | :48:31. | |
want to achieve. They are bringing down 30,000-40,000 fans of the game. | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
This is what Aberdeen wants. They'll have a big, big support behind them. | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
If they can get a result against Hibs mid-week, will that make a | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
difference? Confidence will be at a low ebb with Inverness? I think so. | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
They will be disappointed after today. If they look at their overall | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
season, it has been remarkable. I don't think they should be too down. | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
The game during the week - a couple of suspensions. It is quite lucky in | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
a way. On the flip-side, that I are playing on Wednesday. They'll have | :49:03. | :49:06. | |
to recover well for the game. It is a cup final. I don't think there'll | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
be any tired legalings going into that -- legs going into that game. | :49:11. | :49:16. | |
Aberdeen 40,000 fans. Inverness just 7,000. They hope it will rise to | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
10,000. For you, for the way things are going, it all points to an | :49:21. | :49:23. | |
Aberdeen victory at the moment. Football is not that simple. No, it | :49:24. | :49:28. | |
is not that simple. Nobody is going to write off | :49:29. | :49:30. | |
Inverness. Looking at Aberdeen, the expectation | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
levels have gone through the roof. Not just in Aberdeen. They have | :49:37. | :49:42. | |
sky-rocketed in Aberdeen. The interest is incredible. Everybody in | :49:43. | :49:45. | |
Scottish football is looking, thinking you have made a mess if you | :49:46. | :49:50. | |
luds it out. That is un-- if you lose it nout. That is unfair on -- | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
if you lose it now. That is unfair on Aberdeen. I look | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
at the quality Aberdeen have in their side and the depth in the | :49:59. | :50:01. | |
squad they have as well. They will not talk about doubles. You know, | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
they must be thinking, somewhere in the back of their mind, before we | :50:06. | :50:10. | |
go, one last word. Of man of the day James Ward. What a | :50:11. | :50:16. | |
top man. It is Albion Rovers' day. Thank you very much. That is it. | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
Five teams remain. The story continues. Who will lift the old | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
trophy on May 17th. Until next time. From all of us here at Sportscene, | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
good night. | :50:29. | :50:34. |
