Just 119 goals this weekend in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.

:00:21.:00:25.

Action from all six matches coming up and we have a gaggle of

:00:25.:00:35.
:00:35.:00:48.

goalkeepers in the studio. He saved It is a sport seen glove affair

:00:48.:00:53.

tonight. Craig Gordon and Pat Bonner are here. We will start with

:00:53.:01:03.
:01:03.:01:12.

the second Dundee derby of the Watson with a diving header after

:01:12.:01:17.

17 minute, and Dundee United are 17 minute, and Dundee United are

:01:17.:01:26.

ahead.. Great run, centred across goal and Douglas, threw his cap

:01:26.:01:36.
:01:36.:01:50.

and Steven Milne knows it. Nodded back across to him, opened up the

:01:50.:02:00.
:02:00.:02:11.

foot and skyed it. Smith can't strike. And up and over the top by

:02:11.:02:16.

Rab Douglas. He scored once this afternoon Watson. Douglas did

:02:16.:02:26.
:02:26.:02:36.

behind Johnny Russell. Great ball in from Barry Douglas, ahead of

:02:36.:02:46.
:02:46.:03:19.

this season for him. Played against Ross County. Drove that into Rab

:03:19.:03:25.

Douglas. A mistake by Brian McLean. Baird sends it across, that is off

:03:25.:03:31.

MacLaine's hands. They are claiming for a penalty. The referee said no.

:03:31.:03:36.

This appeared to strike the arm of Brian McLean and Dundee will feel

:03:36.:03:40.

they should have a spot kick. The referee was well positioned and he

:03:40.:03:50.
:03:50.:04:02.

couldn't get the rebound. That was poor defending. Bad choice, Joby

:04:02.:04:12.
:04:12.:04:39.

Russell almost made his pay. -- Rab Douglas. The advantage appear

:04:39.:04:43.

Sweeney Todd been given. But the referee much to the disgust of

:04:43.:04:50.

Dundee has given a spot kick. And he was clipped but John Daley got

:04:50.:04:56.

the shot away. The whistle didn't sound until the shot had been

:04:56.:05:02.

struck, and Dundee will feel hard done by. They felt the advantage

:05:02.:05:09.

had accuse cue -- accrued. This is the chance for 2-0. Simply struck

:05:09.:05:18.

by John Daley. And the United captain celebrates in style. He got

:05:18.:05:21.

a hat-trick in a friendly before the start of the season. He scores

:05:21.:05:31.
:05:31.:05:42.

couldn't keep him out. A cruel deflection on what has been a cruel

:05:42.:05:48.

afternoon for Dundee. Came off Benedick us the. It is a bit harsh

:05:48.:05:53.

on Dundee, Flood will take the credit. Rab Douglas couldn't move

:05:53.:06:03.
:06:03.:06:06.

his feet in time. Flood makes it 3- 0. Dundee United win this one.

:06:06.:06:09.

Dundee reckoned big decisions went against them. Is it about quality

:06:10.:06:12.

against them. Is it about quality of players that desighed that

:06:12.:06:18.

match.. Of course, Dundee United have got the quality of player,

:06:18.:06:22.

especially some of those, young Armstrong, Russell. All good

:06:22.:06:26.

players, but I watched the game and for the first 15 minutes Dundee was

:06:26.:06:30.

right in this game. They will be disappointed. Yes, it is about

:06:30.:06:34.

quality, but I thought Dundee really worked really hard, and put

:06:34.:06:41.

a lot of pressure on Dundee United. That final ball, down the right

:06:41.:06:44.

hand side. Nicky Reilly? different class, but he had no

:06:44.:06:48.

final ball. That is probably the difference between stepping up to

:06:48.:06:53.

the top league, and, but I think Barry will be very disappointed in

:06:53.:06:58.

not getting something out of this game. Even though the result was 3-

:06:58.:07:02.

06789 you think Dundee United won this game handsomely, they didn't.

:07:02.:07:06.

I thought there was a period where Dundee United get a foot on the

:07:06.:07:11.

ball and they were getting bullied out of it. They should have hat a

:07:11.:07:16.

penalty surely. Yes, I think he probably loses it in the sun. It

:07:16.:07:21.

looks like an awkward attempt to play the ball and it strikes his

:07:21.:07:25.

hand. The referee excuse I can give him it is behind the defender,

:07:25.:07:30.

maybe he doesn't see what it has hit. It is a penalty. He is

:07:30.:07:34.

standing watching it. He looks as if he is bloing to blow and doesn't

:07:34.:07:38.

do it. That is a big moment in this game for Dundee. There has been

:07:38.:07:46.

talk about advantage for the Dundee penalty. She didn't signal it. He

:07:46.:07:53.

is taking a moment to make the decision he. You can hear a whistle.

:07:53.:07:57.

That is two-and-a-half seconds after that foul he says is a fou.

:07:57.:08:02.

We don't think it is. I don't think so I don't have any problem with

:08:02.:08:06.

him taking his time, I have no problem with him going back and

:08:06.:08:09.

giving a penalty. But I don't think that is a foul. I think he has

:08:09.:08:13.

played the cross in, the defender is going to try and block the ball.

:08:13.:08:19.

I don't think that is a foul. agree. I certainly think, I don't

:08:19.:08:23.

think you give advantage or wait to see what is going to happen. It is

:08:23.:08:27.

a penalty or it is not. You blow right away. And then, to say, well,

:08:27.:08:32.

you know, three seconds later, and, if you are a manager and the player

:08:32.:08:36.

doesn't go, doesn't go for the ball and tries to block it, then you

:08:36.:08:42.

would be asking questions, we don't think it is a penalty, and that is

:08:42.:08:45.

what changes the game. Dundee can and will harbour a sense of

:08:45.:08:50.

injustice, but they have to defend better, haven't they in set piece

:08:50.:08:53.

situations? Yes of of course, this is the first game. If you look at

:08:53.:08:57.

it and first, you would be saying Dundee, it was a great run across,

:08:57.:09:02.

there is a player. He is a forward. He is Staning in no man's area, you

:09:02.:09:08.

look at it here, there is a huge space. Those two players, McBride

:09:08.:09:12.

who is way off the front post for whatever reason, Milne, is it Milne,

:09:12.:09:17.

the strike e he is standing and he looks and sees him. You can see the

:09:17.:09:22.

other player high -- highlighted in orange. That is the problem for the

:09:22.:09:26.

keeper. He runs across him, and that should be defended better me

:09:26.:09:32.

it should be defended better. No chance for the keeper. In is the

:09:32.:09:36.

keeper's union uniting here. Somebody has to be in that front

:09:36.:09:40.

area and that is a defensive mistake. Somebody has to be in

:09:40.:09:46.

there regardless of what is going on, what runs are coming across,

:09:46.:09:51.

there should be designated to that area. It is bad positioning, if you

:09:51.:09:53.

don't get that right and that is the difference between staying in

:09:53.:09:59.

this league and not. You will give away goals and Dundee cannot afford

:09:59.:10:04.

have that bad defending, you know, they are not creating chance, but

:10:04.:10:08.

if they don't defend properly you have no chance, that is what again,

:10:08.:10:12.

a big point in game. Another derby defeat for Dundee. Inverness

:10:13.:10:18.

cleaned up in the monthly SPL awards. Terry Butcher and Aaron

:10:18.:10:24.

Doran picking up a prize. Could Doran picking up a prize. Could

:10:24.:10:32.

they maintain momentum at Hibs? Cally Thistle on a tremendous run

:10:32.:10:40.

of form, one defeat in the last 14 matches. A foul on Shinnie by

:10:40.:10:45.

Maevery, and Cally Thistle will have the chance from a free-kick

:10:45.:10:51.

taken by Graeme Shinnie, unmarked. Ross Draper. And Cally Thistle move

:10:51.:11:00.

in front. Just 13 minutes on the clock, their marking was non-

:11:00.:11:06.

existent. Draper was allowed to just direct the header, beyond Ben

:11:06.:11:16.
:11:16.:11:18.

Williams. This is a real chance for the eek liedser. -- equaliser. Fine

:11:18.:11:22.

save by the Spaniard. He gets meekens out of jail here, the

:11:22.:11:28.

defender didn't deal with that at all well. Really good save. Doran,

:11:28.:11:38.
:11:38.:11:50.

was blocked by Hanlon, still the danger, not entirely cleared.

:11:50.:11:57.

Shinnie still going forward, for Draper. He was looking for his

:11:57.:12:02.

second goal of the afternoon, but Williams was there to prevent it.

:12:02.:12:12.
:12:12.:12:16.

Good sustained pressure from the home side. Can they find an ease

:12:16.:12:22.

liezer. Doyle has -- equaliser. Aguero gets a hand to it and it is

:12:23.:12:27.

cleared by Raven. Hibs might have made a bit more of this when it

:12:27.:12:35.

came off the goalkeeper. No-one waiting to pounce. Shinnie picks up

:12:35.:12:41.

on the throw in. Back to Raven again, he has done well. Room for

:12:41.:12:50.

the cross for Raven, it is 2-0! Cally Thistle have been pushing for

:12:50.:12:57.

a second goal for a long time. And eventually, with 40 minutes

:12:57.:13:07.
:13:07.:13:19.

remaining it has come. And that mates to come up and support.

:13:19.:13:26.

Decent cross from Doran as there is McKay again. An emphatic victory

:13:27.:13:33.

rounded off by Billy McKay. A fifth goal in four games for the onfire

:13:33.:13:43.
:13:43.:13:43.

striker. 11 for the season. Cally Thistle are rampant. Surely there

:13:43.:13:49.

is not another late goal for Terry Butcher's men. Aaron Doran might

:13:49.:13:59.
:13:59.:14:05.

opportunities to score, they have opportunities to score, they have

:14:05.:14:08.

taken three of them. I don't imagine the fans can see the SPL

:14:08.:14:13.

league table often enough. Second to Celtic, 28 point, they had a

:14:13.:14:16.

total of 39 points in the whole of last season, and when you think

:14:16.:14:19.

they took on the five from their first seven games of the season, I

:14:19.:14:26.

make that 23 from the last ten matches. Instuff. Yes, the

:14:26.:14:29.

confidence is running through them at the moment. They have had a

:14:29.:14:33.

fantastic run. Even when they are not winning, they are picking up

:14:33.:14:37.

draw, it has been a fantastic run. They are a good side to watch. They

:14:37.:14:40.

are quick on the break. Getting forward and scoring a lot of goals

:14:40.:14:46.

into the top scorers in the league. Everything points to them having a

:14:46.:14:49.

successful season. Up at the front end they have Billy McKay who has

:14:49.:14:54.

five in his last four, 11 for the season. He looks a player

:14:54.:14:57.

transformed. Absolutely incredible. He will be knocking on the door of

:14:57.:15:03.

a senior cap at Northern Ireland. But he has scored goals and

:15:03.:15:08.

different types, which is great for a manager to see. That was a

:15:09.:15:12.

fantastic strike, a really good strike. Here again, he gets in the

:15:12.:15:16.

box, and you know, that is the one that you want, get in there where

:15:16.:15:22.

it hurts. It is the timing of his run, he is not coming in at the

:15:22.:15:26.

back and geting on end of thing, he is just arriving at the right time.

:15:26.:15:34.

That is the sign of a player full of confidence. This is the goal at

:15:34.:15:39.

Celtic Park. Alongside McKay you have Foran and Doran and Andrew

:15:39.:15:49.
:15:49.:15:50.

They move around. It allows your full-backs to get forward, and

:15:50.:15:55.

Graeme Shinnie, who are like, the left-back, gets forward. They have

:15:55.:15:59.

a nice mobility and the two centre halves and the two big guys sitting

:15:59.:16:05.

in the middle of the pitch, in a nice, square defensive square. They

:16:05.:16:10.

are doing well. They deserve to be where they are in the lead because

:16:10.:16:14.

of that movement of -- up front. They have grown into the lead now

:16:14.:16:18.

and are able to build a game a band with that movement up front, if you

:16:18.:16:22.

have guys who can get crosses in, you can score goals and they are

:16:23.:16:27.

proving it. Hibs fans will be relieved they do not talk about

:16:27.:16:30.

them shocking defending in that match but we are looking at the

:16:30.:16:34.

save of the weekend from you two, may be thinking you know what you

:16:34.:16:38.

what talking about. This is the first we are talking about, Reguero

:16:38.:16:44.

from Griffiths. A reasonable say, you would expect him to save it. He

:16:44.:16:47.

is not expecting the defender to miss that. His position has to

:16:47.:16:52.

change quickly. He has to get back towards his life. He got caught out

:16:52.:16:56.

of position, it is a nice height but he stood up well and got a nice

:16:56.:17:00.

touch of the ball. A decent save. Not bad, but it will not win it.

:17:00.:17:05.

Motherwell have been clawing their way up the league table, but not

:17:05.:17:09.

with the help of too many home wins, just one yesterday. The best of the

:17:10.:17:19.
:17:20.:17:49.

cracker. Rocco Quim, after 70 minutes, gives Ross County the lead.

:17:49.:17:54.

They sat back of him and he really cracked that past Hollis.

:17:54.:18:04.
:18:04.:18:24.

Unstoppable, gave the goalkeeper at Fir Park and it is Michael

:18:24.:18:28.

Higdon, their top goalscorer. A promising move, a good block from

:18:28.:18:38.
:18:38.:18:38.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds

:18:38.:19:38.

the goalkeeper. A perfect cross in, penalty. This is good goalkeeping

:19:38.:19:48.
:19:48.:19:48.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 60 seconds

:19:48.:20:38.

again. It is a second goal of the for the skipper, eight minutes to

:20:38.:20:48.
:20:48.:20:51.

play. Motherwell have re- lovely finish. -- calm into the

:20:51.:21:01.
:21:01.:21:09.

it was his header. Great reaction save. McManaman out onto the side

:21:09.:21:17.

Motherwell are back in the third, where they should be in the league.

:21:17.:21:22.

What went wrong in the middle? watched a couple of games, I went

:21:22.:21:25.

out to Celtic in late September. I thought they were all over the

:21:25.:21:30.

place. Their shape, they did not know how to deal with being in a

:21:30.:21:39.

hall, they were playing passes. Haiti went into a big spaces. It

:21:39.:21:43.

was all over the place. Their confidence was dented, they did not

:21:43.:21:47.

get a lot of support for Higdon, he was isolated up front. That is a

:21:47.:21:51.

problem, when you don't get the support to him. It becomes a

:21:51.:21:58.

problem for them. But I think they have stepped up again. I think

:21:58.:22:02.

their confidence is back up there. It showed, they scored goals,

:22:02.:22:06.

Higdon scored a fantastic goal yesterday, powerful. If he is

:22:06.:22:09.

getting crosses and the box and they are making chances, he is an

:22:09.:22:13.

important player for them. That is the difference. I have been

:22:13.:22:18.

impressed with Murphy, he stepped up a little bit. I thought he was

:22:18.:22:25.

stronger. They are getting results from him. They have a great

:22:25.:22:31.

goalkeeper. Pout difficult is it for Hollister fill his gloves?

:22:31.:22:34.

has made a few saves, it is an eventful afternoon. He makes a good

:22:34.:22:39.

save from a tight angle. This one, it may have got a flick in front of

:22:39.:22:43.

him so it is a reasonable saved. He spills this. He is lucky to get

:22:43.:22:47.

away with it. He takes the striker before the ball. He gets away with

:22:47.:22:53.

it. He rides his luck. A great save. He has generated power on that.

:22:53.:22:58.

There is no pace on the ball and he has flicked it. A good save. Is it

:22:58.:23:02.

a contender for save of the weekend? It is up there. We will

:23:02.:23:07.

leave it until the weekend but it is up there. Hollis has come into

:23:07.:23:11.

the team, been given an opportunity and it was a big game for him. He

:23:11.:23:15.

did very well. It is one of those, whether he stays in the team, I

:23:15.:23:19.

doubt it, but he will be living on that for a while and players were

:23:19.:23:23.

all over him at the end which is great to see. Another big turnout

:23:23.:23:27.

at Tynecastle yesterday, as Hearts fans continue to do their bit to

:23:27.:23:32.

secure the club's future. They wanted a win to go with the fund-

:23:32.:23:42.
:23:42.:23:44.

raising. Aberdeen were the Hearts in eight matches against the

:23:44.:23:54.
:23:54.:24:14.

well, the first league start since the 2nd September. Craig Brown

:24:14.:24:24.
:24:24.:24:47.

would have been happy with the It is a corner. Johnny Hayes with a

:24:47.:24:52.

trio of chances in the first half. This time it is MacDonald denying

:24:52.:24:59.

him. They lost 4-0 to Celtic here, a week and a half ago before the

:24:59.:25:07.

Edinburgh derby defeat. Hearts had a penalty. Yellow for Josh Magennis.

:25:07.:25:10.

He has tried Brian McGowan to the deck, according to the match

:25:10.:25:19.

official. -- tract. It will not have done him any favours.

:25:19.:25:26.

Stevenson to take. A brilliant penalty. That is good, -- that is

:25:26.:25:36.
:25:36.:26:15.

as good a spot kick as you are Finally there is a goal at

:26:15.:26:25.
:26:25.:26:55.

teed up by Smith. Paterson lashed Vernon for this season for one

:26:55.:27:05.
:27:05.:27:26.

the youngsters who has been so We have had controversial decisions

:27:26.:27:30.

to debate tonight, I don't think this is one of them, Magennis on

:27:30.:27:35.

the Gower. Incredible, I don't know what he was doing. His hands were

:27:35.:27:40.

all over him, as you will see from the treaty. He is pulling him. I

:27:40.:27:46.

don't think he realises the referee is standing behind him. Awful. A

:27:46.:27:52.

great finish from the penalty. That was poor defending. Hearts have

:27:52.:27:56.

such an amazing record, it is nearly three years since Aberdeen

:27:56.:28:00.

beat Hearts. This was a 3-0 win from the start of last season, in

:28:00.:28:05.

which Sutton scored a couple of goals. Does this play on your mind

:28:05.:28:09.

when you lose against them for so long? I think it does. I think you

:28:09.:28:14.

eventually get into that mindset where it is a problem team. Pitt is

:28:14.:28:20.

going to take a lucky win to scrape want to get you started. It is

:28:20.:28:25.

quite incredible. They a two top teams, normally in the top half of

:28:25.:28:28.

the lead fighting it out for European places. The one to have

:28:28.:28:33.

such an advantage over the other is quite unusual. The Hearts fans are

:28:33.:28:37.

bemused as to why the sudden does not -- feature more often from the

:28:37.:28:41.

start. He is experienced, they are struggling with strikers. I am not

:28:41.:28:46.

sure that Paterson is a striker, he is better on the right but they are

:28:46.:28:50.

forced to put him up there. They are trying him out, he is young and

:28:50.:28:53.

made develop into a good striker. But Sutton has proved in other

:28:53.:28:57.

clubs who can score goals. He is big and strong. He has not got pace,

:28:57.:29:02.

maybe that is why they are not going with him. Brian Fraser of

:29:02.:29:08.

Aberdeen has refused apparently an extension to his contract, so it is

:29:08.:29:11.

up at the end of this season. It seems the one to move on. Are you

:29:11.:29:14.

surprised, for a guy who has started and finished only two

:29:14.:29:21.

games? He is entitled to do what he wants. You never know with somebody

:29:21.:29:24.

may be whispering in his ear that there are better things available

:29:24.:29:29.

for him. He has come on very well this season. He has looked to make

:29:29.:29:35.

an impact in games and it is unusual for a youngster. It is a

:29:35.:29:41.

big debate, I seek Craig in the paper saying that FIFA should step

:29:41.:29:45.

in to help them hang on to young players but at the end of the day,

:29:45.:29:48.

if you are looking at young players, you have to get them signed up. It

:29:48.:29:53.

is the club's responsibility. Signed them up early. He should be

:29:53.:29:57.

on a long-term contract if he has potential. Maybe he is asking for

:29:57.:30:02.

too much money. They will lose him, they need a new player, a better

All Saints -- all seats taken at Paisley, St Mirren against St

:30:30.:30:35.

looked good from early on. -- visits. Despite a bright start for

:30:36.:30:40.

the home side St Johnstone took the lead is a minutes in. It was made

:30:40.:30:47.

and finished in the name of Davidson. Helped on by Liam Craig

:30:47.:30:53.

and Davidson heading in. And the visitors went looking for more,

:30:53.:31:00.

Steven MacLean having a go from 25 yards. But Craig Samson produced a

:31:00.:31:07.

fabulous save. Leading 1-0 thins were to take a turn for the worse

:31:07.:31:13.

for St Johnstone. Anderson stop ed a player in his tracks and the

:31:13.:31:20.

referee showed him a straight red for his efforts. Kenny McLean took

:31:20.:31:25.

the resulting free-kick but what a terrific save from the keeper. With

Lomas banned from the dug out assistant Tommy Wright was making

cleared. St Mirren continued to create plenty of chances as they

:31:42.:31:52.

searched for the equaliser. That yellow would prove costly. 20

minutes later Miller was off as he prevented another surging run by

:31:57.:32:01.

McGinn. The 18-year-old frustrated as he was floored. And St Johnstone

:32:01.:32:10.

down to nine men. The free-kick led to the equaliser, well eventually,

:32:10.:32:15.

the ball coming to Kenny McLean who unleashed a wonderful shot. Mannus

:32:15.:32:20.

kept it out but could do nothing about the follow up. The acrobatic

:32:20.:32:26.

save a good one. With just over 20 minutes to go, the home side tried

:32:26.:32:31.

to win this one. McGinn again involved. Great control but his

:32:31.:32:41.
:32:41.:32:43.

effort just wide. Sam Parkin teed up Thompson. Wright did his job

:32:43.:32:48.

really well. A frustrating day for St Mirren but relief for the nine

:32:48.:32:58.
:32:58.:33:03.

St Mirren but relief for the nine 18-year-old John here, he was the

:33:03.:33:09.

highlight of the match. Just a young raw player. Look at him.

:33:09.:33:13.

Fresh faced and fantastic, he looked a different class. It was a

:33:13.:33:17.

great strike and he created the opportunity for himself too, and

:33:17.:33:21.

hit the cross bar and Jack will be very proud of his Grandison here. I

:33:21.:33:25.

was speaking to him two weeks' ago and he was heading off to see him

:33:25.:33:31.

play. He was, he seemed to be roved in everything. That was the yellow

:33:31.:33:36.

card that got Chris Miller sent off. He nearly won the game here. We

:33:36.:33:40.

talked about Ryan Fraser. Similarities in he is very direct.

:33:40.:33:44.

He has created a few opportunity, he looked exciting. We watched the

:33:44.:33:48.

game through. I didn't see it live but I saw it tonight when we

:33:48.:33:52.

arrived. He looked to have a good impact. Creating chances and almost

:33:52.:33:57.

taking a few himself as well. tension is mounting for a save of

:33:57.:34:05.

the weekend. We have our final two contenders what do you think Pat?

:34:05.:34:09.

Again, a decent build up. I think this was a great sai. It is bent

:34:09.:34:12.

round and he has to dive. You look at the dive. He can't see it

:34:12.:34:17.

properly from here, it is a good hand and plays it away from goal.

:34:17.:34:24.

He has to dive square. I think it is a good save. He is not trying to

:34:24.:34:29.

guess where it is going, he waits until it has been kicked. He is

:34:29.:34:33.

still able to readjust his position and get a strong hand on it. He is

:34:33.:34:36.

in the middle of the goal. He has to get that wide. That is fantastic.

:34:36.:34:40.

Would you not have held that one? don't know. He might have. Not me.

:34:40.:34:46.

I know it for sure. That is a very good save. What a week it has been

:34:46.:34:49.

for Celtic qualifying for the Champions League last 16, and

:34:49.:34:53.

hoping the hangover would wear off in time for the game against

:34:53.:34:59.

in time for the game against in time for the game against

:34:59.:35:06.

Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. A month - and-a-half ago when these two sides

:35:06.:35:10.

last met. Kilmarnock winning. Celtic is on the offensive. Hooper

:35:10.:35:20.
:35:20.:35:23.

trying to tee up Brown. He is after a European game this season.

:35:23.:35:28.

Certainly in the last three SPL games that have come off the back

:35:28.:35:32.

of Champions League games, Celtic have dropped points. They here come

:35:32.:35:39.

and it is Brown and it is 1-0. That is why he is still in the operation.

:35:39.:35:45.

He is a massive role to play in this Celtic side. And Scott Brown

:35:45.:35:55.
:35:55.:35:57.

scores his first goal of the season. Despite the best efforts of Bell.

:35:57.:36:01.

It was the '60s last time Kilmarnock managed back-to-back

:36:01.:36:05.

wins against Celtic, they are behind here, with it all to do.

:36:05.:36:09.

That was Sheridan. He got the first at Celtic Park just before

:36:09.:36:19.
:36:19.:36:52.

start to the second half. It is mull grew. Massive opportunity for

:36:52.:36:57.

Kilmarnock, right at the start of the second half. Heffernan will

:36:57.:37:07.
:37:07.:37:19.

Brilliant from Matthews. Hooper. Bell was there. Celtic turning on

:37:19.:37:29.
:37:29.:37:47.

the style again. Matthews has been and. It is just his second of the

:37:47.:37:56.

season. Ledley gives Celtic an insurance policy at Rugby Park. Got

:37:56.:38:06.
:38:06.:38:32.

there ahead of Fowler. Brown who Matthews. Samaras is waiting here.

:38:32.:38:42.
:38:42.:38:45.

And there it is. Game, set and match. In Ayrshire. Matthews

:38:45.:38:49.

playing always as a wide midfielder today. He has been terrific. Brown

:38:49.:38:57.

involved. Matthews with the SEC second assist of the afternoon. --

:38:57.:39:04.

second assist of the afternoon. Good stuff from Killie but we are

:39:05.:39:11.

into stoppage time. Sheridan. Consolation. That is all it will be

:39:11.:39:16.

for Kenny shields side. It has not been a good day after the office

:39:16.:39:21.

for them. -- shields. But they finished on a high note. They are

:39:21.:39:26.

finished on a high note. They are losing this game. That was an

:39:26.:39:30.

impressive performance from Celtic, but this was an important moment in

:39:30.:39:34.

the match. Because at 1-0 down Kilmarnock could have equalised

:39:34.:39:39.

here. Heffernan with a chance and Mulgrew with the block. Fantastic

:39:39.:39:44.

block from Mulgrew, but there was such a hole in the defence, for

:39:44.:39:50.

Celtic, as they went forward, which normally happens because he gets

:39:50.:39:53.

himself forward and he doesn't track back that well at times, but

:39:53.:39:58.

that was a fantastic block. That could have changed the game.

:39:58.:40:01.

Yesterday, Celtic were really up for the game, yesterday. I think

:40:01.:40:05.

coming off the result, on Wednesday night, everyone of those players

:40:05.:40:10.

wanted to play today. Led by their captain Scott Brown, who had scored

:40:10.:40:15.

and had a good game again yesterday, but no, it is an important moment

:40:15.:40:19.

for Celtic because nay have to kick on now, they have to show their

:40:19.:40:24.

fans they can concentrate and focus on the league and the cup coming up.

:40:24.:40:29.

They looked like a Champions League team, that hasn't always been the

:40:29.:40:33.

way. Their quality, they weren't quite playing at this tempo, but in

:40:33.:40:40.

is just so we can show the 21 passes, which led up to the Samaras

:40:40.:40:43.

goal. Yes it is great football. They are keeping the ball here.

:40:43.:40:46.

They are in the lead. They don't have to chase the game. They are

:40:46.:40:52.

keeping it and working their openings. They have three strikers

:40:52.:41:00.

up. Perfect. Then they have so many up. Perfect. Then they have so many

:41:00.:41:02.

men up the park to chase the ball it will leave the gap at the back

:41:02.:41:07.

and Celtic have the quality to pick and Celtic have the quality to pick

:41:07.:41:11.

them off on the counter attack. were at Tynecastle ten days ago for

:41:11.:41:17.

the 4-0 Celtic win so you had a close hand look at the keeper.

:41:17.:41:23.

has had a great season. I was at this match. That is not the best

:41:23.:41:25.

this match. That is not the best first save. The second save is a

:41:25.:41:30.

great reaction save, and, that was so important, because it was close

:41:30.:41:35.

at this stage. It was probably only one or two goals in it. This was

:41:35.:41:38.

second half. That was a fantastic save. He had that bit of movement.

:41:38.:41:43.

But what a great header. If it was in the corner he may not have saved

:41:43.:41:48.

it. This is what the fans want. This is the next step for him in

:41:48.:41:53.

his development. To come and take cross, he is six foot seven. He

:41:53.:41:58.

will do the penalty saves but the will do the penalty saves but the

:41:58.:42:02.

next phase is to dominate the box. He sums up the success Celtic have

:42:02.:42:06.

had with player recruitment, players whose value goes up. We

:42:06.:42:09.

were speaking about getting players on contracts and making sure they

:42:10.:42:14.

can't walk away for nothing and Celtic have done well at that.

:42:14.:42:18.

it has ban great acquisition for them. Already paid back the money

:42:18.:42:21.

they spent on him with his performances in the Champions

:42:21.:42:24.

League. The money the club will have made on the back of that in

:42:24.:42:30.

that competition alone, is more than paid for him already. Also the

:42:30.:42:33.

value of the players has gone up. Champions League football creates

:42:33.:42:40.

that. You have people knocking on the door for them. He is an England

:42:40.:42:45.

international and if he gets a game to or two, your value goes up.

:42:45.:42:48.

Celtic have done really well. can't take the tech shurpbgs what

:42:48.:42:56.

was the save of the weekend? For me Alan Mannus, for the save from the

:42:56.:42:59.

free-kick. The reaction, it is fantastic, the strength to get that

:42:59.:43:03.

round the post, and also the score line in the game as well. That

:43:03.:43:08.

keeps his team in the game and they end up getting a point out of it.

:43:08.:43:12.

You know, from having nine men they have done pretty well to ge get out

:43:12.:43:17.

with a point. That is a big reason why. I agree. Did you consult with

:43:17.:43:22.

your colleague or did you ignore him. We debated it for a long time.

:43:22.:43:26.

We came up wit. It was the best say. The thing about free-kicks, is that

:43:26.:43:30.

it is such a difficult situation for keepers, people in the wall and

:43:30.:43:35.

so on, and you describe it really well, he stayed really strong to

:43:35.:43:40.

almost the last second and he made that wonderful save. Great save.

:43:40.:43:50.
:43:50.:44:14.

The Clydesdale Bank Premier League All that action for you next Sunday
