:00:48. > :00:55.It's this massive fixture. I think it is a game to relish. Rangers and
:00:56. > :00:59.Celtic will play their first league match in four years when they meet
:01:00. > :01:08.at Celtic Park. A colossus on the calendar. I think it generates
:01:09. > :01:15.interest and wealth and coverage. It is all a sideshow. The main event is
:01:16. > :01:21.this match. The build-up, the Gamer, the passion. Something is going to
:01:22. > :01:52.happen here. All things are going to happen.
:01:53. > :01:58.Welcome to Sportscene. I think we can safely say it's been the most
:01:59. > :02:02.seismic weekend in the premiership season so far. All be top-flight
:02:03. > :02:07.action coming up, plus reaction, comment, an analysis of all the
:02:08. > :02:12.major talking point in what has been an eventful weekend. Year to bring
:02:13. > :02:17.some order to the chaos, Steven Thompson and Michael Stewart. And so
:02:18. > :02:23.to the first old firm derby in the league for four years. A week of
:02:24. > :02:31.mammoth build-up and a fascination all of its own. Robert McLean is
:02:32. > :02:36.your match commentator. Celtic will start without Leigh Griffiths, who
:02:37. > :02:46.is still struggling with a hamstring injury. Moussa Dembele leads the
:02:47. > :02:57.attack and Philippe Senderos will be straight into the firing line.
:02:58. > :03:19.Hail, Rossiter, and Forrester are out. Moussa Dembele.
:03:20. > :03:28.And the warning bells were sounding. As Scott Sinclair made about darting
:03:29. > :03:38.run in behind. Wes Foderingham did well in goal. Upping the ante here.
:03:39. > :03:46.A corner kick. And there is the opening goal by Moussa Dembele. The
:03:47. > :04:03.20-year-old Frenchman is in dreamland. 33 minutes gone and he
:04:04. > :04:10.kisses the inside of the post. The marking was none too clever and the
:04:11. > :04:12.set piece, but it is a cowering header from Moussa Dembele. 1-0 to
:04:13. > :04:33.Celtic. That pass was very poor. Moussa
:04:34. > :04:38.Dembele turns away from Senderos. A double for Dembele on Old Firm date
:04:39. > :04:50.at Celtic Park. It is a brilliant bit of finishing. And Celtic are two
:04:51. > :04:59.heads. It all started with the poor pass from Kiernan. Suddenly, Dembele
:05:00. > :05:04.in on goal. He did not need the help of Scott Sinclair alongside him. All
:05:05. > :05:11.at the composure and quality you would look far inside the penalty
:05:12. > :05:18.box as he shot the ball away from Wes Foderingham and the Premiership
:05:19. > :05:21.leaders have 82 goal advantage now against Rangers. What a day for
:05:22. > :05:47.Dembele. Windass on the outside. A useful
:05:48. > :05:57.volley for Kenny Miller and Rangers have eight goal back. Joe Garner
:05:58. > :06:06.gets his first goal for the club. And breathes new life into Rangers.
:06:07. > :06:13.Just ahead of half-time. How badly did they need this? The cross
:06:14. > :06:18.knocked back across the goal by Kenny Miller and it was the former
:06:19. > :06:27.Preston striker Joe Garner who applied the finishing touch. It is
:06:28. > :06:39.2-1. Joey Barton looking to pull the strings. That is out wide. It was
:06:40. > :06:47.only as far as Barry McKay. And he was not far away from getting it
:06:48. > :06:59.into the top corner. The man who scored in spectacular style. In that
:07:00. > :07:03.Scottish Cup semifinal. Armstrong. Finding Dembele. He is on a
:07:04. > :07:09.hat-trick as he read the ball through. Scott Sinclair. He might
:07:10. > :07:15.just have tied up all three points for Celtic. With an hour gone in the
:07:16. > :07:25.Old Firm match. Sinclair strikes again. Five goals already for Celtic
:07:26. > :07:31.and this could be the one that means there is no way back for Rangers.
:07:32. > :07:37.Two goals for Dembele and now an assistant and it is a critical
:07:38. > :07:59.finish from Sinclair. In the inside the post. Celtic three, Rangers one.
:08:00. > :08:11.Between Senderos and Dembele. A yellow on his debut for the Swiss
:08:12. > :08:24.defender. As the officials combine to decide that was a "Up -- that was
:08:25. > :08:37.a booking. So much in control and they continue to threaten. It is
:08:38. > :08:44.Armstrong. A good save. He has looked impressive, Armstrong, since
:08:45. > :08:46.stepping off the bench. Producing this flying save from the Rangers
:08:47. > :09:15.goalkeeper and Sinclair was offside. A red card for Philippe Senderos.
:09:16. > :09:20.And it is the nightmare debut for the Swiss defender. Rangers are down
:09:21. > :09:24.to ten men. The hand ball as the bouncing ball deceived them. And he
:09:25. > :10:00.had to go. Armstrong. Sinclair. Dembele.
:10:01. > :10:18.Looking for an Old Firm treble. And divide at the near post by Wes
:10:19. > :10:29.Foderingham. Armstrong. For Roberts. Full steam ahead. It is a great ball
:10:30. > :10:38.in for Dembele. It is an Old Firm hat-trick for Moussa Dembele. And it
:10:39. > :10:46.is the icing on the cake for Celtic. It's 4-1 against Rangers. The former
:10:47. > :10:55.Fulham striker hits the target again. Lustig the supplier and it is
:10:56. > :11:08.a clinical finish from the Frenchman.
:11:09. > :11:31.Shifting it from side to side. Tierney gets in behind and the
:11:32. > :11:43.pull-back from Armstrong. It is a famous five for Celtic on old friend
:11:44. > :11:48.Dave. -- on Old Firm 's day. Armstrong wraps it up for Brendan
:11:49. > :11:56.Rodgers's team. A comprehensive victory. Against ten man Rangers as
:11:57. > :12:01.they were picked apart one more time and it is a clinical bit of
:12:02. > :12:08.finishing from the substitute who has looked in confident mood since
:12:09. > :12:22.coming off the bench. And he rounds of a memorable day for Celtic. 5-1.
:12:23. > :12:30.Long ball for Waghorn. It would not have been much consolation in any
:12:31. > :12:33.case. Even if that had gone in. It is a heavy beating for Mark
:12:34. > :12:40.Warburton's Rangers. He disappears down the tunnel. As Brendan Rodgers
:12:41. > :12:52.celebrates the most emphatic of winds. Hat-trick from Moussa
:12:53. > :12:58.Dembele. We thought we were very dominant in every area of the game.
:12:59. > :13:04.Defensively, or organisation to press the game was at a very high
:13:05. > :13:09.level. Also, when we couldn't win it back, we were able to drop in and
:13:10. > :13:14.the second goal came from that. I'm happy for the team and for us that
:13:15. > :13:21.we got three points and for the fans and for me. Since the day I signed
:13:22. > :13:28.for Celtic, I was looking forward to playing my first Old Firm game.
:13:29. > :13:33.Defensively, we never really had any problems. Outstanding performance
:13:34. > :13:36.and result. It would be tough to beat us and if we keep going like
:13:37. > :13:40.this, I don't think that anything can cope with that and we have to
:13:41. > :13:48.keep working hard and keep showing what we are all about.
:13:49. > :13:54.Dominant from Dembele. Celtic imperious. Rangers hammered. There
:13:55. > :13:58.is no other way of putting it. Stephen, you were there. Mark
:13:59. > :14:03.Warburton said that there was no major gulf between the sides. I
:14:04. > :14:07.think he is wrong. There is a big gulf between the sides. Rangers had
:14:08. > :14:12.a couple of spells where they were OK but Celtic outclassed them and
:14:13. > :14:17.ultimately embarrass them. Michael, huge credit to Celtic as an
:14:18. > :14:19.attacking force. Week after week, we have covered these Rangers defensive
:14:20. > :14:26.deficiencies and again, huge evidence of it yesterday. Yes. It is
:14:27. > :14:31.a recurrent theme here. Set plays. We looked at Celtic's last game
:14:32. > :14:34.against Aberdeen which was what we expect Rangers's management team
:14:35. > :14:37.would have done as well, and they only have five men in the box and I
:14:38. > :14:41.think that has caught Rangers off-guard. As we look at these clips
:14:42. > :14:46.here, you see this is the first corner before the Dembele goal and
:14:47. > :14:50.they are man for man up against the five men but Dembele is free. They
:14:51. > :14:54.have been caught off guard. That is 20 minutes before the goal, so you
:14:55. > :14:58.could forgive them for being caught off on that one. This is the goal.
:14:59. > :15:03.Somebody has got to have recognised that Dembele was free. Again,
:15:04. > :15:07.Dembele is free. Joe Garner has got to be the man that goes touch time
:15:08. > :15:10.and picked him up because if he does that, Dembele does not score.
:15:11. > :15:13.Whether that is the management team that saw that or whether that is
:15:14. > :15:19.somebody as a player recognising it and doing it. The management team
:15:20. > :15:23.could not have seen it because if they did, it would be corrected. You
:15:24. > :15:27.do not get two bites at the cherry. The warning was the first one in the
:15:28. > :15:32.second one, it is schoolboy defending. The manager is ultimately
:15:33. > :15:36.responsible. Of course, he is. If I am the manager, you set up a set
:15:37. > :15:39.plays before the game. Your first corner comes in and you make sure
:15:40. > :15:50.everybody does what you want. How they did not see that Dembele is
:15:51. > :15:53.free there is really worrying be managed from the pitch as well.
:15:54. > :15:55.Whether it is a goalkeeper on an experienced centre-half, whether
:15:56. > :16:02.ever there is a spare man, you're usually told about it quite quickly.
:16:03. > :16:05.Rangers like a defensive leader. It was a great day for Moussa Dembele.
:16:06. > :16:11.The first player to score a hat-trick in an Old Firm league
:16:12. > :16:16.match in 50 years. Celtic really countered on Rangers well. Brendan
:16:17. > :16:22.Rodgers topped about that. -- talked about that. In central midfield,
:16:23. > :16:27.that is where you have got to give depth and cover. Joey Barton is
:16:28. > :16:32.caught ahead of Moussa Dembele and does not recognise him and then
:16:33. > :16:37.takes over. Senderos died in. He should not have done that. His
:16:38. > :16:42.composure is unbelievable. He flicks it into the net. He was outstanding
:16:43. > :16:51.yesterday. It is the perfect hit trick. Three goals. Everyone was
:16:52. > :16:58.asking if Dembele could fill the void left by Griffiths. He clearly
:16:59. > :17:01.did. Such an enjoyable day for Celtic fans. No Leigh Griffiths but
:17:02. > :17:12.Moussa Dembele stepped into his shoes. Celtic can go into their next
:17:13. > :17:18.match full of confidence. Barcelona lost in La Liga yesterday. It will
:17:19. > :17:22.be a very different game. They have to enjoy it. They have worked hard
:17:23. > :17:25.to get to the Champions League. It is what the fans want and they
:17:26. > :17:30.should just go and enjoy it and I don't think the result matters too
:17:31. > :17:34.much to them. Michael, after yesterday's showing, what is your
:17:35. > :17:42.judgment on Rangers? Where will be finish in the league? I never
:17:43. > :17:47.expected them to challenge Celtic. A lot of questions needing answered
:17:48. > :17:50.from Mark Warburton and he is under pressure. Let's move on. The last
:17:51. > :17:54.couple of seasons, Aberdeen have come closest to Celtic but they lost
:17:55. > :17:58.to the champions 4-1 in their last game. Can they find their mojo
:17:59. > :18:02.against Caley Thistle? Richie Foran's side went to meet them with
:18:03. > :18:13.optimism. Players get nervous and supporters
:18:14. > :18:23.get nervous, the longer we are out there. St Johnstone back on level
:18:24. > :18:35.terms. What a sweet strike. A score in stoppage time. Sets us up nicely
:18:36. > :18:39.for Aberdeen. Aberdeen are boosted by the return of Jonny Hayes. He has
:18:40. > :18:47.been missing since the Europa League tie. Mark Reynolds is out through
:18:48. > :18:50.suspension. Inverness give former St Johnstone defender Brad Mackay his
:18:51. > :19:01.debut. The new signing comes in to take the place of Lewis Horner, who
:19:02. > :19:08.is on the bench. Switching that one and picking out Billy King. That is
:19:09. > :19:14.a good delivery to the back post. And Polworth with the shot. The
:19:15. > :19:29.closest we have come to a goal in this first half. Off the top of the
:19:30. > :19:37.bar. Polworth with the challenge. Here is begin.
:19:38. > :19:49.Trying to get away. And he has fired that one in and Aberdeen are in
:19:50. > :19:55.front. The Caley Thistle players are incensed. They feel there should
:19:56. > :20:04.have been a free kick. Burns with a little trip on Polworth. Went
:20:05. > :20:11.unpunished. But that one was delivered into the back of the net
:20:12. > :20:23.in fine form. Caley Thistle incensed. Can they get themselves
:20:24. > :20:28.back into this game quickly? A good breaking run. This by Wes Burns. Can
:20:29. > :20:36.he finish it? What a goal that would have been. Two horrific surging run
:20:37. > :20:49.from the midfield there by Burns. The only thing missing was the
:20:50. > :20:53.execution. Warren is under pressure. Adam Rooney is trying to curl it as
:20:54. > :21:00.well. Williams up to the task this time. Rooney was looking to add to
:21:01. > :21:08.his four goal tally so far for this season. In with the challenge there
:21:09. > :21:26.and both players seem to pick up a knock. Here go Aberdeen. Try to
:21:27. > :21:42.strike. Did save. The Caley Thistle keeper keeps the scoreline still at
:21:43. > :21:49.1-0. Brad Mackay with the through. Aberdeen struggling to get it clear.
:21:50. > :21:59.What a strike that is! Brilliant goal! It is his fifth goal of the
:22:00. > :22:02.season, his first in the league, and we have seen that before from that
:22:03. > :22:20.trusted left foot. The modern player from Norwich
:22:21. > :22:32.getting so close to getting his first goal for Aberdeen.
:22:33. > :22:42.Aberdeen trying to get players in the box. Looking for the winner. And
:22:43. > :22:49.it just won't go for the Dons. It was a good blocking challenge there.
:22:50. > :22:54.I put the approach in the second half was excellent. We started being
:22:55. > :23:01.far more aggressive, more positive. We were passing better and causing
:23:02. > :23:04.them problems. Scored a brilliant goal and we had two or three
:23:05. > :23:11.opportunities. I thought we were really on the front foot then but I
:23:12. > :23:14.do feel that we allowed the equaliser to come. I am
:23:15. > :23:19.disappointed, to be honest. I got Aberdeen were there for the taking.
:23:20. > :23:26.I thought defensively in preparation we were magnificent. We were the
:23:27. > :23:30.poorest we have been in attacking. Maybe in some hours or a day or two,
:23:31. > :23:37.I will be happy with the point, but at the moment, I am not.
:23:38. > :23:43.Stephen, are you surprised by the slow start to the season for
:23:44. > :23:49.Aberdeen? Yes, a little bit. It has been a slow start. Jonny Hayes is a
:23:50. > :23:52.pivotal player for them. They were not happy with the first-half
:23:53. > :23:56.performance but it improved in the second half and it is early days and
:23:57. > :24:01.I am sure the consistency will come. Caley Thistle were upset because
:24:02. > :24:05.they thought there was a foul. I would agree. I think they have every
:24:06. > :24:10.right to feel aggrieved, but after that, it was a magnificent finish.
:24:11. > :24:14.Here is the clip. I think the referee might just be a little bit
:24:15. > :24:23.unsighted when the file is made. Then when the ball comes wide, it is
:24:24. > :24:27.all about McGinn. They had possession and then they lost it
:24:28. > :24:33.again. They had so many bodies back. I am not sure of that was a shot. He
:24:34. > :24:38.was perhaps just trying to stand inside the box. It seemed to go into
:24:39. > :24:41.slow motion. Disappointing for them not to get the free kick, but I
:24:42. > :24:46.think they have enough bodies back there that they should be dealing
:24:47. > :24:49.with that better. Richie Foran felt that his players were a bit
:24:50. > :24:55.toothless. He is looking at bringing in some more free agents. When the
:24:56. > :24:59.goal came, it it was some strike. In a similar vein, talking about
:25:00. > :25:02.Inverness been disappointed with the way they defended, Aberdeen will be
:25:03. > :25:04.really disappointed they have not dealt with this better. They have a
:25:05. > :25:15.lot of bodies back there that does fail to clear the lines and then
:25:16. > :25:18.some quality players. Real quality. And you heard Richie Foran saying he
:25:19. > :25:22.is disappointed to only get one point. I think in a couple hours or
:25:23. > :25:29.perhaps now, he will be quite happy with that. If you get a point there,
:25:30. > :25:33.you will take it. We spoke about it before, this lack of goal threat
:25:34. > :25:38.from Inverness. It was in evidence yesterday. It has to be a worry.
:25:39. > :25:42.They need to get somebody in. They do. They started the season with
:25:43. > :25:46.Scott Boden. He has not found his way to the goal. They seem to be
:25:47. > :25:50.struggling to find the right balance, certainly in the centre
:25:51. > :25:56.forward area. OK. Hearts have been building momentum in the past few
:25:57. > :26:00.weeks. Two wins and a draw. Could they be the side to push Celtic in
:26:01. > :26:10.the league this season? Hearts have the opportunity to go
:26:11. > :26:17.second with a victory this afternoon. Jamie Walker is included,
:26:18. > :26:23.the only change. Ahead of Sam Nicholson. The captain has a knee
:26:24. > :26:37.injury and is replaced in central defence by Dan Seaborn. Tony Watt
:26:38. > :26:42.has done very well. He had his shorts pulled. He goes down and that
:26:43. > :26:47.will be a booking for diving. They just made the most of it. He looked
:26:48. > :26:53.like he might well have been touched, but he was so overelaborate
:26:54. > :27:04.with his dive that you made Craig Thomson's mind up for him. That
:27:05. > :27:08.might work out. And he gets the shot away, just eight few inches wide of
:27:09. > :27:13.the post. I don't think you necessarily meant to leave that, but
:27:14. > :27:25.it almost worked out beautifully. Dougie Imrie. Manages to get the
:27:26. > :27:31.ball back to the left-hand side where Gillespie picks up up against
:27:32. > :27:35.Paterson. A great goal for the visitors and no surprise that it is
:27:36. > :27:43.Ali Crawford back on the scoresheet Hamilton. It is therefore of goal of
:27:44. > :27:54.the season. A terrific delivery here. And Jack Hamilton was left
:27:55. > :28:02.with absolutely no chance. Jamie Walker could be in here. Goes for
:28:03. > :28:08.goal. So unlucky! Deflection takes the ball into the arms of Matthews
:28:09. > :28:09.and Jamie Walker hugely unfortunate not to have grabbed the equaliser
:28:10. > :28:23.there. Can he find a cross, Sam Nicholson?
:28:24. > :28:29.He has done. It's a good header. And it's in from Jamie Walker. Hearts,
:28:30. > :28:35.at last, are on the scoresheet. Third goal of the season for Jamie
:28:36. > :28:39.Walker, his second in the league. And Jamie Walker is able to plant
:28:40. > :28:49.that beyond Remi Matthews who really should have got a stronger hand to
:28:50. > :28:53.it. It's a deep one, headed back in. Hamilton just can't get it away.
:28:54. > :29:13.There goes Rossi, looking for the penalty kick. Played into the feet
:29:14. > :29:18.of Rossi. John Souttar... Must be a penalty this time. Indeed it is.
:29:19. > :29:23.Craig Thomson has been under pressure to award a spot kick and at
:29:24. > :29:28.last he points to the spot. Hamilton feel Sam Nicholson went over to
:29:29. > :29:31.easily. Craig Thomson having turned down two or three penalty appeals
:29:32. > :29:36.simply couldn't turn another one away. There was definitely contact.
:29:37. > :29:42.Sam Nicholson might have embellished that. But a penalty kick it was.
:29:43. > :29:49.There will be a chance now for Jamie Walker to score his second of the
:29:50. > :29:56.afternoon. Cool as you like from Walker, sending Matthews the wrong
:29:57. > :30:03.way. And it's four for the season now for Jamie Walker. It's a good
:30:04. > :30:12.ball for Imrie. Imrie bursting into the penalty area. Imrie goes down,
:30:13. > :30:28.looking for a penalty. Well, Accies incensed once more. Here comes
:30:29. > :30:34.Robbie Muirhead looking to just ensure Hearts take the three points.
:30:35. > :30:42.Ooh, it's a fine goal from Sam Nicholson to wrap things up!
:30:43. > :30:52.Terrific strike. That's a beautiful hit from Sam Nicholson. It's all
:30:53. > :31:03.over bar the shouting, now. And the full-time whistle sounds. And a bit
:31:04. > :31:08.of afters, there, between Crawford and Kitchen in the closing stages.
:31:09. > :31:17.Frustrating at half-time for the players. We said the game is not won
:31:18. > :31:25.over 45, its 90 minutes. And with the patients that we had and for the
:31:26. > :31:29.fans as well. To go 1-0 up, their goal, the first one, Walker has a
:31:30. > :31:34.free header. The second one I don't think is a penalty, having seen it
:31:35. > :31:38.back. From what the boys are saying, the player said he was off balance
:31:39. > :31:43.and had no option but to go down. It's frustrating when those go
:31:44. > :31:49.against you. Hearts second in the table on ten points, three wins in a
:31:50. > :31:53.row. Growing sense of belief? Inevitably off the back of three
:31:54. > :31:58.wins there is going to be. To be honest the three games they've won
:31:59. > :32:02.our games you would expect Hearts to win, Inverness, Partick Thistle and
:32:03. > :32:06.Hamilton. Those are the games they have got to win. Fair credit, they
:32:07. > :32:10.have gone and done that. Hamilton Accies took the lead again in this
:32:11. > :32:16.match. They reject things with Massimo Donati. They did. Hearts
:32:17. > :32:21.started more lively and were I far the better team. Hamilton made a
:32:22. > :32:25.substitution, and Massimo denied he dropped back into a sweeper role,
:32:26. > :32:31.like a Frans Battenberg role, almost. You don't see many folk
:32:32. > :32:35.doing that nowadays. It meant that they had an extra man back there.
:32:36. > :32:40.He's a comfortable player and reads the game well. Swept up and cleared
:32:41. > :32:46.up a lot of trouble for Hamilton. Hearts played a lot of the game too
:32:47. > :32:49.narrowly. I just think it's that instinct as a midfielder where you
:32:50. > :32:54.can see the game in front of you, makes it easier. He did really well,
:32:55. > :32:57.but this was the man that made the difference. Sam Nicholson came on
:32:58. > :33:02.and really turned the game on its head. First goal, great bit of wind
:33:03. > :33:13.play, gets to the byline and things out a great cross. -- digs out. When
:33:14. > :33:18.the Hearts wide men play well, they invariably get a good performance.
:33:19. > :33:21.Topping it off with this goal, great touch and a fantastic finish into
:33:22. > :33:28.the corner. He made a difference when he came on. Do we have another
:33:29. > :33:35.diving scenario at Tynecastle? This was a penalty. At the time I thought
:33:36. > :33:41.it looked a bit theatrical, but there is contact on his right shin.
:33:42. > :33:46.100% a penalty. And Lee Thompson is only five yards away. If Tony Watt
:33:47. > :33:51.doesn't make such a meal of the dies after contact I think he gets a
:33:52. > :33:56.penalty. Is this a dive? This is a dive for me. Craig Thomson's
:33:57. > :34:00.position is excellent. But this is a dive, there is no contact, and when
:34:01. > :34:04.you see the slow Misha and replay, you see Sam Nicholson's lead, he
:34:05. > :34:11.leaves it hanging, hoping something hits it. I'll be honest, at the
:34:12. > :34:15.game, to me at real-time that was a penalty. The angle Craig Thomson has
:34:16. > :34:20.got, you would expect to see that there was no contact. But Massimo
:34:21. > :34:26.Donati just ran across his line of vision at that point, probably the
:34:27. > :34:32.reason Hearts got the penalty. 15 matches in the league last year, one
:34:33. > :34:36.of the major reason they ended in the bottom six -- Dundee drew 15
:34:37. > :34:42.matches last year. Kilmarnock were the visitors.
:34:43. > :34:56.COMMENTATOR: Ed Davey for weightlifter Dundee, back in
:34:57. > :35:06.Scotland three years away. Craig Wighton is the other change. There
:35:07. > :35:09.is a debut for Scott Boyd. Rory McKenzie returns. William Boyle on
:35:10. > :35:26.to the bench. Mark O'Hara goes up. It might fall
:35:27. > :35:34.for Craig Wighton. Ojha are playing in the advanced role. Sitting up for
:35:35. > :35:44.Craig Wighton. Free kick in, white and with a dummy, and a goal! It's
:35:45. > :35:50.his first four Dundee! Lovely play from Wighton with the dummy. High
:35:51. > :36:00.into the net. It's his fifth appearance for Dundee, his first
:36:01. > :36:08.goal. O'Hara enjoying playing against his former team-mates. Good
:36:09. > :36:15.ball in, O'Hara with a flick. Couple of Dundee goals already. So full of
:36:16. > :36:33.confidence. Lovely ball in, audacious little flick. Frizzell
:36:34. > :36:37.comes short. That's a deep cross. Coulibaly with a stunning equaliser!
:36:38. > :36:42.The exuberant celebration of Salomon Kalou ballet.
:36:43. > :36:47.Won't have surprised his team-mates come he does it in training all the
:36:48. > :36:58.time. It will have caught out Dundee. It's a stunning finish. Rory
:36:59. > :37:07.McKenzie, out for a couple of games with a thigh injury. Back battling
:37:08. > :37:11.today. It's a great pass, ooh committees taken a touch, then get
:37:12. > :37:17.the shot away. Might have been tempted to hit first-time. Yet to
:37:18. > :37:25.score this season. Would have been the 12th Dundee player to do so.
:37:26. > :37:30.Paul McGowan on to Wighton, good save from McDonald's, and again.
:37:31. > :37:34.Double stop from the goalkeeper. Craig Wighton denied. You see
:37:35. > :37:38.goalkeepers in training all the time saving a shot, getting back up to do
:37:39. > :37:48.another. And here is practised definitely making perfect. Dundee
:37:49. > :37:54.have drawn the last couple of games. O'Hara gets it through to Cameron
:37:55. > :37:58.Kerr, looking for the breakthrough. Back onto O'Hara. Can't get the shot
:37:59. > :38:12.away, El-Bakhtaoui. Dundee applying the
:38:13. > :38:23.pressure, just can't quite get the clean shop they were hoping for.
:38:24. > :38:35.This one into the stands. Adams goes in, and so does Gomis. That could be
:38:36. > :38:39.a red card. He is hurt. Charlie Adam takes a sore one. The referee is
:38:40. > :38:42.standing with card in hand. Little complaint from the Frenchman and
:38:43. > :38:50.Dundee will play the remainder of the game with ten. Adam's foot was
:38:51. > :39:00.down, Gomis's foot wasn't, and he's off. Dundee trying to come again.
:39:01. > :39:02.Frizzell, El-Bakhtaoui. Room to shoot. Comes close again. He's been
:39:03. > :39:12.a bundle of energy all day. I'm a little bit disappointed, I
:39:13. > :39:21.felt after we went one down we done really well. Missed opportunities.
:39:22. > :39:25.Just felt that we didn't push on further in the second half. I know
:39:26. > :39:29.we were playing against ten men but it was only for eight or nine
:39:30. > :39:33.minutes or so but we didn't move the ball quick enough when we had a man
:39:34. > :39:37.extra. Any other time we'd be happy with a point but a little
:39:38. > :39:44.disappointed. I think frustration is the word that we are looking for. We
:39:45. > :39:49.started the first half-hour bright, get the goal, but maybe not clinical
:39:50. > :39:55.enough. Their goal was a fantastic strike and we couldn't do much about
:39:56. > :40:00.it. But overall I'm disappointed. STUDIO: There you have it, surprise,
:40:01. > :40:05.surprise, a match involving Dundee ends in a draw. Paul Hartley
:40:06. > :40:09.disappointed. There's no doubt. He referenced the fact that too many
:40:10. > :40:13.draws was what kept them out of the top six last year. One thing that
:40:14. > :40:18.will not please him is the fact his striker El-Bakhtaoui has got off the
:40:19. > :40:25.scoresheet. The patron saint of people who get sent off. You feel
:40:26. > :40:32.Kevin Gomez was unlucky? I do, it was not a two-footed tackle. When
:40:33. > :40:36.you slide in, it is physically impossible for your foot and the
:40:37. > :40:42.studs to be looking at the ground. That is a sending off all day long,
:40:43. > :40:46.his foot is high. It's not high. Of course it's high! It's barely off
:40:47. > :40:51.the ground. Oh, come on. The only problem is he's marginally late. His
:40:52. > :40:55.studs are showing comedies caught him in the knee, red card all day
:40:56. > :41:00.long. Just because I did things like tackling is banned in the game yet,
:41:01. > :41:04.is it? It's not. It's only one foot, the studs are showing. Michael knows
:41:05. > :41:10.what he's talking about when it comes to red card. And a lot of them
:41:11. > :41:14.were rescinded! For me it is a red card all day. Our thoughts very much
:41:15. > :41:18.with Kris Boyd after the sad loss of his brother during the week. He took
:41:19. > :41:22.the decision to play, brave decision, you'd have to say, as
:41:23. > :41:34.well. The Kilmarnock strike was a great goal from Coulibaliy.
:41:35. > :41:38.Unbelievable bicycle kick, technically brilliant. He has
:41:39. > :41:42.obviously got the sort of goal in the locker. He knows exactly what
:41:43. > :41:45.he's going to do, watching it coming out of the air and the technique to
:41:46. > :41:51.deliver that skill is perfection. Great goal to watch. If you've been
:41:52. > :41:52.enjoying Scotland's game, make sure you don't miss the final chapter
:41:53. > :42:04.this Thursday on BBC One. As the sole of Scottish football
:42:05. > :42:08.hangs in the balance. We need to change, do things differently. Can
:42:09. > :42:12.we find answers? Lets get people into the gates. That would be
:42:13. > :42:15.fantastic for Scotland. Scotland's game concludes Thursday at 9pm.
:42:16. > :42:23.STUDIO: St Johnstone have been hardy top six perennials these past few
:42:24. > :42:30.seasons but a strange work of fate meant they lost their last four
:42:31. > :42:31.encounters with Partick Thistle, would that change at Firhill
:42:32. > :42:56.yesterday? One change to the Partick Thistle
:42:57. > :43:02.team which lost at home to Hearts. Sean Welsh is back from suspension
:43:03. > :43:04.and replaces Edwards. Illness put Alan Mannus among the subs with
:43:05. > :43:15.Zander Clark taking over. Chris Millar and Liam Craig edged out
:43:16. > :43:18.Blair Alston and David Wotherspoon. That Danny Devine, and Stevie
:43:19. > :43:24.Lawless spinning away from Swanson, and a dangerous ball in. Saved by
:43:25. > :43:28.Zander Clark. It was a shot at goal from Lawless. Ended up with the
:43:29. > :43:53.perfect assist for Kris Doolan. Abdul Osman, Kris Doolan had a
:43:54. > :44:00.swing. Off the head of the Daniel Devine. Twice involved on the set
:44:01. > :44:08.piece. And finally the stand-in goalkeeper did well to get in the
:44:09. > :44:15.way of this. Chris Millar, the Saints skipper. That's Richard
:44:16. > :44:23.Foster. Danny Swanson. Good run made by Foster. Back for Stephen MacLean.
:44:24. > :44:27.Decent strike from Stephen MacLean, had he kept this down he might well
:44:28. > :44:29.have been scoring. At a decent height for the goalkeeper. Tomas
:44:30. > :44:41.Cerny made the save. Swanson's cross, Stephen Anderson!
:44:42. > :44:48.Scores from an almost impossible angle. Well, that's one for the
:44:49. > :44:58.scrapbook for the defender. How did he do that? Amused goalkeeper Thomas
:44:59. > :45:04.Sony couldn't quite believe that had gone in -- bemused goalkeeper Thomas
:45:05. > :45:19.Cheney. Now it's Chris Erskine I, through
:45:20. > :45:26.for Kris Doolan. Chris Erskine again missing the target. Story of the
:45:27. > :45:32.match so far for Partick Thistle. Playing some football that's really
:45:33. > :45:42.easy on the eyewitness went product. -- really easy on the eye, with no
:45:43. > :45:47.end product. In from Swanson, Brian Easton. That's Chris Kane!
:45:48. > :45:53.Spectacular effort from the striker. Just wouldn't quite dip quickly
:45:54. > :46:03.enough for him. Onto the top of the net, it went.
:46:04. > :46:15.Looking to make something happen. Not like that. Another chance for
:46:16. > :46:22.Thistle. Callum Booth, ooh, it's a great ball in for Ryan Edwards, who
:46:23. > :46:25.might just have seen Ziggy Gordon out of the corner of his eye,
:46:26. > :46:38.because this looked a decent chance to equalise. This cute pass goes
:46:39. > :46:46.straight to Swanson. Stephen MacLean terms and scores! Quality written
:46:47. > :46:53.all over that one for his fifth goal of the season. Stephen Anderson with
:46:54. > :47:00.the first, Stephen MacLean with the second. Unstoppable. The turn away
:47:01. > :47:11.from Daniel Devine, who got wrong side.
:47:12. > :47:22.Lawless tugs the shot wide. Nice build-up again from Thistle. But
:47:23. > :47:24.Zander Clark hasn't really had to many serious saves to make, and that
:47:25. > :47:41.tells a story. Gordon's throw flicked on by
:47:42. > :47:46.Edwards, away by Anderson. Steven Lawless had a wild swing at it from
:47:47. > :47:47.long range. Thistle stripping and sliding, it seems, to the bottom of
:47:48. > :47:58.the table. We didn't look as creative and sharp
:47:59. > :48:07.up front as we have done. Think that was down to individual battles. We
:48:08. > :48:11.deserved the win. We were not under real pressure for any sustained
:48:12. > :48:17.period in the game. They had a few half chances. In the main we
:48:18. > :48:21.controlled large parts of the game. STUDIO: St Johnstone get that
:48:22. > :48:26.Partick Thistle shaped monkey off they're back. Partick Thistle now
:48:27. > :48:30.bottom of the table. Steven Anderson, you were impressed by his
:48:31. > :48:36.goal-scoring prowess yesterday? Some is. Yeah, he was with me as a kid at
:48:37. > :48:39.Dundee United. He's been such a formidable player for St Johnstone
:48:40. > :48:46.over the years. He's a brilliant defender. He reads the game well,
:48:47. > :48:51.he's very competitive. And he is rightly the club legend. Obviously a
:48:52. > :48:58.cup winning hero as well. Did he pick up any goal-scoring tips from
:48:59. > :49:03.new? He must have done! He can't actually believe it himself, in the
:49:04. > :49:08.celebration, he's like, what just happened? Great finish from the
:49:09. > :49:14.angle for a player who deserves it. A bit like Stephen McManus. Exactly,
:49:15. > :49:19.he didn't learn it off him. It's been a topsy-turvy season for
:49:20. > :49:22.Partick Thistle thus far. Definitely. They started the season
:49:23. > :49:27.well with the League Cup, getting a lot of wins. But the league campaign
:49:28. > :49:31.has been disappointing. They'll be worried to be a wee bit adrift at
:49:32. > :49:34.the bottom of the table. They have a game in hand but it is against
:49:35. > :49:38.Celtic and it's difficult to see them getting points there. It's a
:49:39. > :49:43.position they'll be wanting to get out of quickly. Kilmarnock away
:49:44. > :49:48.next, how nervous should the Partick Thistle fans be? It's far too early.
:49:49. > :49:52.Having seen bits of their play they have not been playing badly but it's
:49:53. > :49:58.not quite clicking in the final third. Too early to be concerned.
:49:59. > :50:02.Motherwell recently lost when the Marvin Johnson who moved south, the
:50:03. > :50:11.remainder of the squad headed north to Ross County.
:50:12. > :50:23.Jim McIntyre has rewarded Alex Schalk's recent performances with a
:50:24. > :50:27.starting position. Motherwell no longer able to call upon Marvin
:50:28. > :50:32.Johnson. Ryan Bowman comes in to make his debut. Four games without a
:50:33. > :50:42.win for Motherwell, three defeats followed by a 0-0 draw against
:50:43. > :50:45.Dundee last time out. A deep one, looking for Christopher Cadden, it
:50:46. > :50:50.goes all the way across the face of goal. He was the Player of the Month
:50:51. > :51:00.for Motherwell for August. That got him into the Scotland U21 side.
:51:01. > :51:05.Eventually. Keith Lasley onto Craig Clay, who was clattered by James
:51:06. > :51:17.McEvilly. A rash challenge from the defender. Alan Newell comes out with
:51:18. > :51:24.an early booking for McEvely. It goes wide to Franks. Woods. Comes
:51:25. > :51:29.out to Michael Gardyne. Curling effort comes off the top of the bar.
:51:30. > :51:38.Franks now can drill one across. And Motherwell survive. Gardyne, head in
:51:39. > :51:44.his hands. Curling effort, so unlucky with the goalkeeper beaten.
:51:45. > :51:53.Franks trying to connect with the man in the middle. Here is Jonathan
:51:54. > :52:00.Franks. Right footed delivery. And it's Boyce who heads over the top.
:52:01. > :52:10.It's a delightful cross in from Franks. Boyce got there first but
:52:11. > :52:15.couldn't find the target. Cadden is up against McEvely. And he'll be
:52:16. > :52:22.camphor pace. He's got the strength to hold him off as well. -- he'll
:52:23. > :52:29.beat him for pace. Motherwell threatened once again. Bowman, the
:52:30. > :52:42.signing mean from Gateshead, looking for a goal on debut. Gardyne now.
:52:43. > :52:46.Dropped back for McEvely. Schalk, and here is Liam Boyce! And the
:52:47. > :52:51.Northern Irishman gives Ross County the lead with just over an hour
:52:52. > :53:02.played. He's so composed in front of goal. He has now emitted each of
:53:03. > :53:07.Ross County's last six goals. Franks, Schalk, driving at the
:53:08. > :53:15.defence. Boyce, teed up for Gardyne. Boyce again. Sampson saves, Schalk
:53:16. > :53:21.knocks into the back of the net at the offside flag is up against the
:53:22. > :53:32.Dutchman. Gardyne teeing up Boyce, it was well saved. Schalk had gone
:53:33. > :53:36.too early. McDonald finds space, comes away from the goalkeeper, down
:53:37. > :53:42.he goes. And Alan Newell points to the penalty spot. Scott Fox receives
:53:43. > :53:52.a yellow card and there are not too many complaints from the Ross County
:53:53. > :53:56.team. Lewis Moult is back and amongst the goals. Just seven
:53:57. > :54:05.minutes into his return. He's been out for six weeks. Moult flicks on
:54:06. > :54:08.for Scott McDonald, who got their redhead of McEvely. Could be in
:54:09. > :54:12.trouble here, she's already been booked. Alan Neal is straight
:54:13. > :54:19.across, a second yellow card for the left-back. And Ross County will play
:54:20. > :54:25.the remaining 20 minutes with ten men. There is still time to go but
:54:26. > :54:43.there hasn't been a draw here for two and a half years. 43 matches.
:54:44. > :54:51.Kenny Vander with the cross. Craig Curran was crying out to be set up.
:54:52. > :54:54.McDonald's ball in, Ainsworth is there. And it was a great
:54:55. > :55:00.opportunity to win the game for Motherwell.
:55:01. > :55:06.I thought it was a fairly even first half, didn't think there was a lot
:55:07. > :55:11.in the game. I think second half we started really well. Once we got the
:55:12. > :55:15.goal I thought we were well on top. Looked as though we'd go on and get
:55:16. > :55:19.the next one. But obviously the sending off just turned the game on
:55:20. > :55:24.its head in terms of our side of things and gave Motherwell a big
:55:25. > :55:28.lift. Regardless of the sending off, probably a draw was right. Both
:55:29. > :55:34.teams missed chances. If anything I felt we had to defend their chances
:55:35. > :55:38.and they didn't score because we defended them. I feel we missed our
:55:39. > :55:43.chances. In that respect maybe I felt we had a slight edge. But I'm
:55:44. > :55:54.absolutely content with a point. Let's get straight to the sending
:55:55. > :56:00.off of James McEvely, was it deserved? It is a wild tackle. He
:56:01. > :56:04.gets sent off for two yellow cards, that is a red card in itself. He
:56:05. > :56:09.clatters into him. You almost want to turn away. The referee is a yard
:56:10. > :56:14.away. I think this is slightly harsh. It is a clumsy coming
:56:15. > :56:18.together. I don't think that is too much of a yellow card. I think the
:56:19. > :56:23.referee is desperate to send him off because he knows he got it wrong.
:56:24. > :56:27.And McEvely knows that the first one he got away with, it was a straight
:56:28. > :56:31.red. In the end it's the right decision that he's been sent off.
:56:32. > :56:36.Identifying the second one was a yellow. You are in agreement this
:56:37. > :56:40.time? The first half should have been a straight red, horrendous
:56:41. > :56:46.challenge. I know you are a big fan of Jonathan Franks. I am indeed. A
:56:47. > :56:50.massive performance. He doesn't mess about when he gets the ball in wide
:56:51. > :56:55.areas. This one comes to nothing but when he gets the ball in these areas
:56:56. > :56:58.he doesn't mess about. He takes his touch, get it out of his feet and
:56:59. > :57:05.delivers. The sort of thing a strike at thrives on. He's direct. You know
:57:06. > :57:09.what he's going to do. You do, but you don't need to think twice as a
:57:10. > :57:13.striker. That's a decent ball into a good area. He did it all match
:57:14. > :57:19.yesterday and was impressive. Just get it out of your feet and deliver.
:57:20. > :57:23.That one should have led to a goal. Almost a carbon copy. Get it out of
:57:24. > :57:29.your feet, just make yourself half a yard, stick it in the box. Fitting
:57:30. > :57:31.we talk about a winter because Motherwell getting used to live
:57:32. > :57:38.without Marvin Johnson who is going to be a loss. Of course. He's a
:57:39. > :57:42.typical winger. He was hit and miss at times. For a club like Motherwell
