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 | :30:02. | :30:09. | |
player to come in and they have lost money. He is good to watch. | :30:09. | :30:15. | |
All Saints -- all seats taken at Paisley, St Mirren against St | :30:15. | :30:25. | |
:30:25. | :30:30. | ||
Johnstone. It was not short of their last ten vits but St Mirren | :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 | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
Lomas banned from the dug out assistant Tommy Wright was making | :31:29. | :31:37. | |
himself herd. McAusland should have done better as the danger wasn't | :31:37. | :31:42. | |
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 | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
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. | |
