:00:21. > :00:25.Just 119 goals this weekend in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
:00:25. > :00:35.Action from all six matches coming up and we have a gaggle of
:00:35. > :00:48.
:00:48. > :00:53.goalkeepers in the studio. He saved It is a sport seen glove affair
:00:53. > :01:03.tonight. Craig Gordon and Pat Bonner are here. We will start with
:01:03. > :01:12.
:01:12. > :01:17.the second Dundee derby of the Watson with a diving header after
:01:17. > :01:26.17 minute, and Dundee United are 17 minute, and Dundee United are
:01:26. > :01:36.ahead.. Great run, centred across goal and Douglas, threw his cap
:01:36. > :01:50.
:01:50. > :02:00.and Steven Milne knows it. Nodded back across to him, opened up the
:02:00. > :02:11.
:02:11. > :02:16.foot and skyed it. Smith can't strike. And up and over the top by
:02:16. > :02:26.Rab Douglas. He scored once this afternoon Watson. Douglas did
:02:26. > :02:36.
:02:36. > :02:46.behind Johnny Russell. Great ball in from Barry Douglas, ahead of
:02:46. > :03:19.
:03:19. > :03:25.this season for him. Played against Ross County. Drove that into Rab
:03:25. > :03:31.Douglas. A mistake by Brian McLean. Baird sends it across, that is off
:03:31. > :03:36.MacLaine's hands. They are claiming for a penalty. The referee said no.
:03:36. > :03:40.This appeared to strike the arm of Brian McLean and Dundee will feel
:03:40. > :03:50.they should have a spot kick. The referee was well positioned and he
:03:50. > :04:02.
:04:02. > :04:12.couldn't get the rebound. That was poor defending. Bad choice, Joby
:04:12. > :04:39.
:04:39. > :04:43.Russell almost made his pay. -- Rab Douglas. The advantage appear
:04:43. > :04:50.Sweeney Todd been given. But the referee much to the disgust of
:04:50. > :04:56.Dundee has given a spot kick. And he was clipped but John Daley got
:04:56. > :05:02.the shot away. The whistle didn't sound until the shot had been
:05:02. > :05:09.struck, and Dundee will feel hard done by. They felt the advantage
:05:09. > :05:18.had accuse cue -- accrued. This is the chance for 2-0. Simply struck
:05:18. > :05:21.by John Daley. And the United captain celebrates in style. He got
:05:21. > :05:31.a hat-trick in a friendly before the start of the season. He scores
:05:31. > :05:42.
:05:42. > :05:48.couldn't keep him out. A cruel deflection on what has been a cruel
:05:48. > :05:53.afternoon for Dundee. Came off Benedick us the. It is a bit harsh
:05:53. > :06:03.on Dundee, Flood will take the credit. Rab Douglas couldn't move
:06:03. > :06:06.
:06:06. > :06:09.his feet in time. Flood makes it 3- 0. Dundee United win this one.
:06:10. > :06:12.Dundee reckoned big decisions went against them. Is it about quality
:06:12. > :06:18.against them. Is it about quality of players that desighed that
:06:18. > :06:22.match.. Of course, Dundee United have got the quality of player,
:06:22. > :06:26.especially some of those, young Armstrong, Russell. All good
:06:26. > :06:30.players, but I watched the game and for the first 15 minutes Dundee was
:06:30. > :06:34.right in this game. They will be disappointed. Yes, it is about
:06:34. > :06:41.quality, but I thought Dundee really worked really hard, and put
:06:41. > :06:44.a lot of pressure on Dundee United. That final ball, down the right
:06:44. > :06:48.hand side. Nicky Reilly? different class, but he had no
:06:48. > :06:53.final ball. That is probably the difference between stepping up to
:06:53. > :06:58.the top league, and, but I think Barry will be very disappointed in
:06:58. > :07:02.not getting something out of this game. Even though the result was 3-
:07:02. > :07:06.06789 you think Dundee United won this game handsomely, they didn't.
:07:06. > :07:11.I thought there was a period where Dundee United get a foot on the
:07:11. > :07:16.ball and they were getting bullied out of it. They should have hat a
:07:16. > :07:21.penalty surely. Yes, I think he probably loses it in the sun. It
:07:21. > :07:25.looks like an awkward attempt to play the ball and it strikes his
:07:25. > :07:30.hand. The referee excuse I can give him it is behind the defender,
:07:30. > :07:34.maybe he doesn't see what it has hit. It is a penalty. He is
:07:34. > :07:38.standing watching it. He looks as if he is bloing to blow and doesn't
:07:38. > :07:46.do it. That is a big moment in this game for Dundee. There has been
:07:46. > :07:53.talk about advantage for the Dundee penalty. She didn't signal it. He
:07:53. > :07:57.is taking a moment to make the decision he. You can hear a whistle.
:07:57. > :08:02.That is two-and-a-half seconds after that foul he says is a fou.
:08:02. > :08:06.We don't think it is. I don't think so I don't have any problem with
:08:06. > :08:09.him taking his time, I have no problem with him going back and
:08:09. > :08:13.giving a penalty. But I don't think that is a foul. I think he has
:08:13. > :08:19.played the cross in, the defender is going to try and block the ball.
:08:19. > :08:23.I don't think that is a foul. agree. I certainly think, I don't
:08:23. > :08:27.think you give advantage or wait to see what is going to happen. It is
:08:27. > :08:32.a penalty or it is not. You blow right away. And then, to say, well,
:08:32. > :08:36.you know, three seconds later, and, if you are a manager and the player
:08:36. > :08:42.doesn't go, doesn't go for the ball and tries to block it, then you
:08:42. > :08:45.would be asking questions, we don't think it is a penalty, and that is
:08:45. > :08:50.what changes the game. Dundee can and will harbour a sense of
:08:50. > :08:53.injustice, but they have to defend better, haven't they in set piece
:08:53. > :08:57.situations? Yes of of course, this is the first game. If you look at
:08:57. > :09:02.it and first, you would be saying Dundee, it was a great run across,
:09:02. > :09:08.there is a player. He is a forward. He is Staning in no man's area, you
:09:08. > :09:12.look at it here, there is a huge space. Those two players, McBride
:09:12. > :09:17.who is way off the front post for whatever reason, Milne, is it Milne,
:09:17. > :09:22.the strike e he is standing and he looks and sees him. You can see the
:09:22. > :09:26.other player high -- highlighted in orange. That is the problem for the
:09:26. > :09:32.keeper. He runs across him, and that should be defended better me
:09:32. > :09:36.it should be defended better. No chance for the keeper. In is the
:09:36. > :09:40.keeper's union uniting here. Somebody has to be in that front
:09:40. > :09:46.area and that is a defensive mistake. Somebody has to be in
:09:46. > :09:51.there regardless of what is going on, what runs are coming across,
:09:51. > :09:53.there should be designated to that area. It is bad positioning, if you
:09:53. > :09:59.don't get that right and that is the difference between staying in
:09:59. > :10:04.this league and not. You will give away goals and Dundee cannot afford
:10:04. > :10:08.have that bad defending, you know, they are not creating chance, but
:10:08. > :10:12.if they don't defend properly you have no chance, that is what again,
:10:13. > :10:18.a big point in game. Another derby defeat for Dundee. Inverness
:10:18. > :10:24.cleaned up in the monthly SPL awards. Terry Butcher and Aaron
:10:24. > :10:32.Doran picking up a prize. Could Doran picking up a prize. Could
:10:32. > :10:40.they maintain momentum at Hibs? Cally Thistle on a tremendous run
:10:40. > :10:45.of form, one defeat in the last 14 matches. A foul on Shinnie by
:10:45. > :10:51.Maevery, and Cally Thistle will have the chance from a free-kick
:10:51. > :11:00.taken by Graeme Shinnie, unmarked. Ross Draper. And Cally Thistle move
:11:00. > :11:06.in front. Just 13 minutes on the clock, their marking was non-
:11:06. > :11:16.existent. Draper was allowed to just direct the header, beyond Ben
:11:16. > :11:18.
:11:18. > :11:22.Williams. This is a real chance for the eek liedser. -- equaliser. Fine
:11:22. > :11:28.save by the Spaniard. He gets meekens out of jail here, the
:11:28. > :11:38.defender didn't deal with that at all well. Really good save. Doran,
:11:38. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:57.was blocked by Hanlon, still the danger, not entirely cleared.
:11:57. > :12:02.Shinnie still going forward, for Draper. He was looking for his
:12:02. > :12:12.second goal of the afternoon, but Williams was there to prevent it.
:12:12. > :12:16.
:12:16. > :12:22.Good sustained pressure from the home side. Can they find an ease
:12:23. > :12:27.liezer. Doyle has -- equaliser. Aguero gets a hand to it and it is
:12:27. > :12:35.cleared by Raven. Hibs might have made a bit more of this when it
:12:35. > :12:41.came off the goalkeeper. No-one waiting to pounce. Shinnie picks up
:12:41. > :12:50.on the throw in. Back to Raven again, he has done well. Room for
:12:50. > :12:57.the cross for Raven, it is 2-0! Cally Thistle have been pushing for
:12:57. > :13:07.a second goal for a long time. And eventually, with 40 minutes
:13:07. > :13:19.
:13:19. > :13:26.remaining it has come. And that mates to come up and support.
:13:27. > :13:33.Decent cross from Doran as there is McKay again. An emphatic victory
:13:33. > :13:43.rounded off by Billy McKay. A fifth goal in four games for the onfire
:13:43. > :13:43.
:13:43. > :13:49.striker. 11 for the season. Cally Thistle are rampant. Surely there
:13:49. > :13:59.is not another late goal for Terry Butcher's men. Aaron Doran might
:13:59. > :14:05.
:14:05. > :14:08.opportunities to score, they have opportunities to score, they have
:14:08. > :14:13.taken three of them. I don't imagine the fans can see the SPL
:14:13. > :14:16.league table often enough. Second to Celtic, 28 point, they had a
:14:16. > :14:19.total of 39 points in the whole of last season, and when you think
:14:19. > :14:26.they took on the five from their first seven games of the season, I
:14:26. > :14:29.make that 23 from the last ten matches. Instuff. Yes, the
:14:29. > :14:33.confidence is running through them at the moment. They have had a
:14:33. > :14:37.fantastic run. Even when they are not winning, they are picking up
:14:37. > :14:40.draw, it has been a fantastic run. They are a good side to watch. They
:14:40. > :14:46.are quick on the break. Getting forward and scoring a lot of goals
:14:46. > :14:49.into the top scorers in the league. Everything points to them having a
:14:49. > :14:54.successful season. Up at the front end they have Billy McKay who has
:14:54. > :14:57.five in his last four, 11 for the season. He looks a player
:14:57. > :15:03.transformed. Absolutely incredible. He will be knocking on the door of
:15:03. > :15:08.a senior cap at Northern Ireland. But he has scored goals and
:15:09. > :15:12.different types, which is great for a manager to see. That was a
:15:12. > :15:16.fantastic strike, a really good strike. Here again, he gets in the
:15:16. > :15:22.box, and you know, that is the one that you want, get in there where
:15:22. > :15:26.it hurts. It is the timing of his run, he is not coming in at the
:15:26. > :15:34.back and geting on end of thing, he is just arriving at the right time.
:15:34. > :15:39.That is the sign of a player full of confidence. This is the goal at
:15:39. > :15:49.Celtic Park. Alongside McKay you have Foran and Doran and Andrew
:15:49. > :15:50.
:15:50. > :15:55.They move around. It allows your full-backs to get forward, and
:15:55. > :15:59.Graeme Shinnie, who are like, the left-back, gets forward. They have
:15:59. > :16:05.a nice mobility and the two centre halves and the two big guys sitting
:16:05. > :16:10.in the middle of the pitch, in a nice, square defensive square. They
:16:10. > :16:14.are doing well. They deserve to be where they are in the lead because
:16:14. > :16:18.of that movement of -- up front. They have grown into the lead now
:16:18. > :16:22.and are able to build a game a band with that movement up front, if you
:16:23. > :16:27.have guys who can get crosses in, you can score goals and they are
:16:27. > :16:30.proving it. Hibs fans will be relieved they do not talk about
:16:30. > :16:34.them shocking defending in that match but we are looking at the
:16:34. > :16:38.save of the weekend from you two, may be thinking you know what you
:16:38. > :16:44.what talking about. This is the first we are talking about, Reguero
:16:44. > :16:47.from Griffiths. A reasonable say, you would expect him to save it. He
:16:47. > :16:52.is not expecting the defender to miss that. His position has to
:16:52. > :16:56.change quickly. He has to get back towards his life. He got caught out
:16:56. > :17:00.of position, it is a nice height but he stood up well and got a nice
:17:00. > :17:05.touch of the ball. A decent save. Not bad, but it will not win it.
:17:05. > :17:09.Motherwell have been clawing their way up the league table, but not
:17:10. > :17:19.with the help of too many home wins, just one yesterday. The best of the
:17:20. > :17:49.
:17:49. > :17:54.cracker. Rocco Quim, after 70 minutes, gives Ross County the lead.
:17:54. > :18:04.They sat back of him and he really cracked that past Hollis.
:18:04. > :18:24.
:18:24. > :18:28.Unstoppable, gave the goalkeeper at Fir Park and it is Michael
:18:28. > :18:38.Higdon, their top goalscorer. A promising move, a good block from
:18:38. > :18:38.
:18:38. > :19:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds
:19:38. > :19:48.the goalkeeper. A perfect cross in, penalty. This is good goalkeeping
:19:48. > :19:48.
:19:48. > :20:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds
:20:38. > :20:48.again. It is a second goal of the for the skipper, eight minutes to
:20:48. > :20:51.
:20:51. > :21:01.play. Motherwell have re- lovely finish. -- calm into the
:21:01. > :21:09.
:21:09. > :21:17.it was his header. Great reaction save. McManaman out onto the side
:21:17. > :21:22.Motherwell are back in the third, where they should be in the league.
:21:22. > :21:25.What went wrong in the middle? watched a couple of games, I went
:21:25. > :21:30.out to Celtic in late September. I thought they were all over the
:21:30. > :21:39.place. Their shape, they did not know how to deal with being in a
:21:39. > :21:43.hall, they were playing passes. Haiti went into a big spaces. It
:21:43. > :21:47.was all over the place. Their confidence was dented, they did not
:21:47. > :21:51.get a lot of support for Higdon, he was isolated up front. That is a
:21:51. > :21:58.problem, when you don't get the support to him. It becomes a
:21:58. > :22:02.problem for them. But I think they have stepped up again. I think
:22:02. > :22:06.their confidence is back up there. It showed, they scored goals,
:22:06. > :22:09.Higdon scored a fantastic goal yesterday, powerful. If he is
:22:09. > :22:13.getting crosses and the box and they are making chances, he is an
:22:13. > :22:18.important player for them. That is the difference. I have been
:22:18. > :22:25.impressed with Murphy, he stepped up a little bit. I thought he was
:22:25. > :22:31.stronger. They are getting results from him. They have a great
:22:31. > :22:34.goalkeeper. Pout difficult is it for Hollister fill his gloves?
:22:34. > :22:39.has made a few saves, it is an eventful afternoon. He makes a good
:22:39. > :22:43.save from a tight angle. This one, it may have got a flick in front of
:22:43. > :22:47.him so it is a reasonable saved. He spills this. He is lucky to get
:22:47. > :22:53.away with it. He takes the striker before the ball. He gets away with
:22:53. > :22:58.it. He rides his luck. A great save. He has generated power on that.
:22:58. > :23:02.There is no pace on the ball and he has flicked it. A good save. Is it
:23:02. > :23:07.a contender for save of the weekend? It is up there. We will
:23:07. > :23:11.leave it until the weekend but it is up there. Hollis has come into
:23:11. > :23:15.the team, been given an opportunity and it was a big game for him. He
:23:15. > :23:19.did very well. It is one of those, whether he stays in the team, I
:23:19. > :23:23.doubt it, but he will be living on that for a while and players were
:23:23. > :23:27.all over him at the end which is great to see. Another big turnout
:23:27. > :23:32.at Tynecastle yesterday, as Hearts fans continue to do their bit to
:23:32. > :23:42.secure the club's future. They wanted a win to go with the fund-
:23:42. > :23:44.
:23:44. > :23:54.raising. Aberdeen were the Hearts in eight matches against the
:23:54. > :24:14.
:24:14. > :24:24.well, the first league start since the 2nd September. Craig Brown
:24:24. > :24:47.
:24:47. > :24:52.would have been happy with the It is a corner. Johnny Hayes with a
:24:52. > :24:59.trio of chances in the first half. This time it is MacDonald denying
:24:59. > :25:07.him. They lost 4-0 to Celtic here, a week and a half ago before the
:25:07. > :25:10.Edinburgh derby defeat. Hearts had a penalty. Yellow for Josh Magennis.
:25:10. > :25:19.He has tried Brian McGowan to the deck, according to the match
:25:19. > :25:26.official. -- tract. It will not have done him any favours.
:25:26. > :25:36.Stevenson to take. A brilliant penalty. That is good, -- that is
:25:36. > :26:15.
:26:15. > :26:25.as good a spot kick as you are Finally there is a goal at
:26:25. > :26:55.
:26:55. > :27:05.teed up by Smith. Paterson lashed Vernon for this season for one
:27:05. > :27:26.
:27:26. > :27:30.the youngsters who has been so We have had controversial decisions
:27:30. > :27:35.to debate tonight, I don't think this is one of them, Magennis on
:27:35. > :27:40.the Gower. Incredible, I don't know what he was doing. His hands were
:27:40. > :27:46.all over him, as you will see from the treaty. He is pulling him. I
:27:46. > :27:52.don't think he realises the referee is standing behind him. Awful. A
:27:52. > :27:56.great finish from the penalty. That was poor defending. Hearts have
:27:56. > :28:00.such an amazing record, it is nearly three years since Aberdeen
:28:00. > :28:05.beat Hearts. This was a 3-0 win from the start of last season, in
:28:05. > :28:09.which Sutton scored a couple of goals. Does this play on your mind
:28:09. > :28:14.when you lose against them for so long? I think it does. I think you
:28:14. > :28:20.eventually get into that mindset where it is a problem team. Pitt is
:28:20. > :28:25.going to take a lucky win to scrape want to get you started. It is
:28:25. > :28:28.quite incredible. They a two top teams, normally in the top half of
:28:28. > :28:33.the lead fighting it out for European places. The one to have
:28:33. > :28:37.such an advantage over the other is quite unusual. The Hearts fans are
:28:37. > :28:41.bemused as to why the sudden does not -- feature more often from the
:28:41. > :28:46.start. He is experienced, they are struggling with strikers. I am not
:28:46. > :28:50.sure that Paterson is a striker, he is better on the right but they are
:28:50. > :28:53.forced to put him up there. They are trying him out, he is young and
:28:53. > :28:57.made develop into a good striker. But Sutton has proved in other
:28:57. > :29:02.clubs who can score goals. He is big and strong. He has not got pace,
:29:02. > :29:08.maybe that is why they are not going with him. Brian Fraser of
:29:08. > :29:11.Aberdeen has refused apparently an extension to his contract, so it is
:29:11. > :29:14.up at the end of this season. It seems the one to move on. Are you
:29:14. > :29:21.surprised, for a guy who has started and finished only two
:29:21. > :29:24.games? He is entitled to do what he wants. You never know with somebody
:29:24. > :29:29.may be whispering in his ear that there are better things available
:29:29. > :29:35.for him. He has come on very well this season. He has looked to make
:29:35. > :29:41.an impact in games and it is unusual for a youngster. It is a
:29:41. > :29:45.big debate, I seek Craig in the paper saying that FIFA should step
:29:45. > :29:48.in to help them hang on to young players but at the end of the day,
:29:48. > :29:53.if you are looking at young players, you have to get them signed up. It
:29:53. > :29:57.is the club's responsibility. Signed them up early. He should be
:29:57. > :30:02.on a long-term contract if he has potential. Maybe he is asking for
:30:02. > :30:09.too much money. They will lose him, they need a new player, a better
:30:09. > :30:15.player to come in and they have lost money. He is good to watch.
:30:15. > :30:25.All Saints -- all seats taken at Paisley, St Mirren against St
:30:25. > :30:30.
:30:30. > :30:35.Johnstone. It was not short of their last ten vits but St Mirren
:30:36. > :30:40.looked good from early on. -- visits. Despite a bright start for
:30:40. > :30:47.the home side St Johnstone took the lead is a minutes in. It was made
:30:47. > :30:53.and finished in the name of Davidson. Helped on by Liam Craig
:30:53. > :31:00.and Davidson heading in. And the visitors went looking for more,
:31:00. > :31:07.Steven MacLean having a go from 25 yards. But Craig Samson produced a
:31:07. > :31:13.fabulous save. Leading 1-0 thins were to take a turn for the worse
:31:13. > :31:20.for St Johnstone. Anderson stop ed a player in his tracks and the
:31:20. > :31:25.referee showed him a straight red for his efforts. Kenny McLean took
:31:25. > :31:29.the resulting free-kick but what a terrific save from the keeper. With
:31:29. > :31:37.Lomas banned from the dug out assistant Tommy Wright was making
:31:37. > :31:42.himself herd. McAusland should have done better as the danger wasn't
:31:42. > :31:52.cleared. St Mirren continued to create plenty of chances as they
:31:52. > :31:57.searched for the equaliser. That yellow would prove costly. 20
:31:57. > :32:01.minutes later Miller was off as he prevented another surging run by
:32:01. > :32:10.McGinn. The 18-year-old frustrated as he was floored. And St Johnstone
:32:10. > :32:15.down to nine men. The free-kick led to the equaliser, well eventually,
:32:15. > :32:20.the ball coming to Kenny McLean who unleashed a wonderful shot. Mannus
:32:20. > :32:26.kept it out but could do nothing about the follow up. The acrobatic
:32:26. > :32:31.save a good one. With just over 20 minutes to go, the home side tried
:32:31. > :32:41.to win this one. McGinn again involved. Great control but his
:32:41. > :32:43.
:32:43. > :32:48.effort just wide. Sam Parkin teed up Thompson. Wright did his job
:32:48. > :32:58.really well. A frustrating day for St Mirren but relief for the nine
:32:58. > :33:03.
:33:03. > :33:09.St Mirren but relief for the nine 18-year-old John here, he was the
:33:09. > :33:13.highlight of the match. Just a young raw player. Look at him.
:33:13. > :33:17.Fresh faced and fantastic, he looked a different class. It was a
:33:17. > :33:21.great strike and he created the opportunity for himself too, and
:33:21. > :33:25.hit the cross bar and Jack will be very proud of his Grandison here. I
:33:25. > :33:31.was speaking to him two weeks' ago and he was heading off to see him
:33:31. > :33:36.play. He was, he seemed to be roved in everything. That was the yellow
:33:36. > :33:40.card that got Chris Miller sent off. He nearly won the game here. We
:33:40. > :33:44.talked about Ryan Fraser. Similarities in he is very direct.
:33:44. > :33:48.He has created a few opportunity, he looked exciting. We watched the
:33:48. > :33:52.game through. I didn't see it live but I saw it tonight when we
:33:52. > :33:57.arrived. He looked to have a good impact. Creating chances and almost
:33:57. > :34:05.taking a few himself as well. tension is mounting for a save of
:34:05. > :34:09.the weekend. We have our final two contenders what do you think Pat?
:34:09. > :34:12.Again, a decent build up. I think this was a great sai. It is bent
:34:12. > :34:17.round and he has to dive. You look at the dive. He can't see it
:34:17. > :34:24.properly from here, it is a good hand and plays it away from goal.
:34:24. > :34:29.He has to dive square. I think it is a good save. He is not trying to
:34:29. > :34:33.guess where it is going, he waits until it has been kicked. He is
:34:33. > :34:36.still able to readjust his position and get a strong hand on it. He is
:34:36. > :34:40.in the middle of the goal. He has to get that wide. That is fantastic.
:34:40. > :34:46.Would you not have held that one? don't know. He might have. Not me.
:34:46. > :34:49.I know it for sure. That is a very good save. What a week it has been
:34:49. > :34:53.for Celtic qualifying for the Champions League last 16, and
:34:53. > :34:59.hoping the hangover would wear off in time for the game against
:34:59. > :35:06.in time for the game against in time for the game against
:35:06. > :35:10.Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. A month - and-a-half ago when these two sides
:35:10. > :35:20.last met. Kilmarnock winning. Celtic is on the offensive. Hooper
:35:20. > :35:23.
:35:23. > :35:28.trying to tee up Brown. He is after a European game this season.
:35:28. > :35:32.Certainly in the last three SPL games that have come off the back
:35:32. > :35:39.of Champions League games, Celtic have dropped points. They here come
:35:39. > :35:45.and it is Brown and it is 1-0. That is why he is still in the operation.
:35:45. > :35:55.He is a massive role to play in this Celtic side. And Scott Brown
:35:55. > :35:57.
:35:57. > :36:01.scores his first goal of the season. Despite the best efforts of Bell.
:36:01. > :36:05.It was the '60s last time Kilmarnock managed back-to-back
:36:05. > :36:09.wins against Celtic, they are behind here, with it all to do.
:36:09. > :36:19.That was Sheridan. He got the first at Celtic Park just before
:36:19. > :36:52.
:36:52. > :36:57.start to the second half. It is mull grew. Massive opportunity for
:36:57. > :37:07.Kilmarnock, right at the start of the second half. Heffernan will
:37:07. > :37:19.
:37:19. > :37:29.Brilliant from Matthews. Hooper. Bell was there. Celtic turning on
:37:29. > :37:47.
:37:47. > :37:56.the style again. Matthews has been and. It is just his second of the
:37:56. > :38:06.season. Ledley gives Celtic an insurance policy at Rugby Park. Got
:38:06. > :38:32.
:38:32. > :38:42.there ahead of Fowler. Brown who Matthews. Samaras is waiting here.
:38:42. > :38:45.
:38:45. > :38:49.And there it is. Game, set and match. In Ayrshire. Matthews
:38:49. > :38:57.playing always as a wide midfielder today. He has been terrific. Brown
:38:57. > :39:04.involved. Matthews with the SEC second assist of the afternoon. --
:39:05. > :39:11.second assist of the afternoon. Good stuff from Killie but we are
:39:11. > :39:16.into stoppage time. Sheridan. Consolation. That is all it will be
:39:16. > :39:21.for Kenny shields side. It has not been a good day after the office
:39:21. > :39:26.for them. -- shields. But they finished on a high note. They are
:39:26. > :39:30.finished on a high note. They are losing this game. That was an
:39:30. > :39:34.impressive performance from Celtic, but this was an important moment in
:39:34. > :39:39.the match. Because at 1-0 down Kilmarnock could have equalised
:39:39. > :39:44.here. Heffernan with a chance and Mulgrew with the block. Fantastic
:39:44. > :39:50.block from Mulgrew, but there was such a hole in the defence, for
:39:50. > :39:53.Celtic, as they went forward, which normally happens because he gets
:39:53. > :39:58.himself forward and he doesn't track back that well at times, but
:39:58. > :40:01.that was a fantastic block. That could have changed the game.
:40:01. > :40:05.Yesterday, Celtic were really up for the game, yesterday. I think
:40:05. > :40:10.coming off the result, on Wednesday night, everyone of those players
:40:10. > :40:15.wanted to play today. Led by their captain Scott Brown, who had scored
:40:15. > :40:19.and had a good game again yesterday, but no, it is an important moment
:40:19. > :40:24.for Celtic because nay have to kick on now, they have to show their
:40:24. > :40:29.fans they can concentrate and focus on the league and the cup coming up.
:40:29. > :40:33.They looked like a Champions League team, that hasn't always been the
:40:33. > :40:40.way. Their quality, they weren't quite playing at this tempo, but in
:40:40. > :40:43.is just so we can show the 21 passes, which led up to the Samaras
:40:43. > :40:46.goal. Yes it is great football. They are keeping the ball here.
:40:46. > :40:52.They are in the lead. They don't have to chase the game. They are
:40:52. > :41:00.keeping it and working their openings. They have three strikers
:41:00. > :41:02.up. Perfect. Then they have so many up. Perfect. Then they have so many
:41:02. > :41:07.men up the park to chase the ball it will leave the gap at the back
:41:07. > :41:11.and Celtic have the quality to pick and Celtic have the quality to pick
:41:11. > :41:17.them off on the counter attack. were at Tynecastle ten days ago for
:41:17. > :41:23.the 4-0 Celtic win so you had a close hand look at the keeper.
:41:23. > :41:25.has had a great season. I was at this match. That is not the best
:41:25. > :41:30.this match. That is not the best first save. The second save is a
:41:30. > :41:35.great reaction save, and, that was so important, because it was close
:41:35. > :41:38.at this stage. It was probably only one or two goals in it. This was
:41:38. > :41:43.second half. That was a fantastic save. He had that bit of movement.
:41:43. > :41:48.But what a great header. If it was in the corner he may not have saved
:41:48. > :41:53.it. This is what the fans want. This is the next step for him in
:41:53. > :41:58.his development. To come and take cross, he is six foot seven. He
:41:58. > :42:02.will do the penalty saves but the will do the penalty saves but the
:42:02. > :42:06.next phase is to dominate the box. He sums up the success Celtic have
:42:06. > :42:09.had with player recruitment, players whose value goes up. We
:42:10. > :42:14.were speaking about getting players on contracts and making sure they
:42:14. > :42:18.can't walk away for nothing and Celtic have done well at that.
:42:18. > :42:21.it has ban great acquisition for them. Already paid back the money
:42:21. > :42:24.they spent on him with his performances in the Champions
:42:24. > :42:30.League. The money the club will have made on the back of that in
:42:30. > :42:33.that competition alone, is more than paid for him already. Also the
:42:33. > :42:40.value of the players has gone up. Champions League football creates
:42:40. > :42:45.that. You have people knocking on the door for them. He is an England
:42:45. > :42:48.international and if he gets a game to or two, your value goes up.
:42:48. > :42:56.Celtic have done really well. can't take the tech shurpbgs what
:42:56. > :42:59.was the save of the weekend? For me Alan Mannus, for the save from the
:42:59. > :43:03.free-kick. The reaction, it is fantastic, the strength to get that
:43:03. > :43:08.round the post, and also the score line in the game as well. That
:43:08. > :43:12.keeps his team in the game and they end up getting a point out of it.
:43:12. > :43:17.You know, from having nine men they have done pretty well to ge get out
:43:17. > :43:22.with a point. That is a big reason why. I agree. Did you consult with
:43:22. > :43:26.your colleague or did you ignore him. We debated it for a long time.
:43:26. > :43:30.We came up wit. It was the best say. The thing about free-kicks, is that
:43:30. > :43:35.it is such a difficult situation for keepers, people in the wall and
:43:35. > :43:40.so on, and you describe it really well, he stayed really strong to
:43:40. > :43:50.almost the last second and he made that wonderful save. Great save.
:43:50. > :44:14.
:44:14. > :44:18.The Clydesdale Bank Premier League All that action for you next Sunday
