:07:40. > :07:47.looking at the defence, it is not a great defending, but it is all
:07:47. > :07:52.about the quality of the cross. Because this was right across the
:07:52. > :07:57.six-yard box, with pace, the defenders do not want to touch him.
:07:57. > :08:02.It will put it in the net. It was a great start with Dunfermline.

:08:16. > :08:21.goal, and an awareness once he gets there. He spots the runner, and it
:08:21. > :08:26.is unlucky for Dunfermline. You can click it into his chest and he is
:08:26. > :08:32.strong. I do not think it was a free kick, that which led to the
:08:32. > :08:39.goal. He is aware, knows what is around him. Was to do, Lee
:08:39. > :08:44.McCulloch, but he catches that one. Real presence about him. As I say,
:08:44. > :08:49.it is on the deck, it is in the air that you go to score goals. He has
:08:49. > :08:54.such an awareness. You see here, strength, braces team into play. He
:08:54. > :08:58.is everything they were missing against Dundee United. He has
:08:58. > :09:03.played as a striker before, but in the situation he was -- in the
:09:03. > :09:08.situation Rangers are in, he is a great find. What a flick this is.
:09:08. > :09:12.This is what allowed -- this is what allows Davies to do something
:09:12. > :09:18.he has not done in a few weeks, perhaps months, get himself up the
:09:19. > :09:21.pitch. He finds himself a goal threat. Now Rangers have options.
:09:21. > :09:25.Perhaps this league title is not over. Many people think it is, I
:09:25. > :09:32.think there was a big response from Rangers yesterday. Should he have
:09:32. > :09:36.been called into action last Sunday at Ibrox? You see when Ally McCoist
:09:36. > :09:41.look at that, whoever has come up with the thought and put him in the,
:09:41. > :09:46.the havoc he has caused, maybe have options. Now they have McCulloch
:09:46. > :09:49.and Lafferty coming back, they have cousin, they have Healey, something
:09:49. > :09:55.I said a few more weeks ago, where a Rangers could to get the goals
:09:55. > :10:00.from? Now they have options few map -- they have options. Daniel Cozens
:10:00. > :10:06.will be in action soon. This is what he was capable of at his first

:10:11. > :10:16.There is no doubt he has quality, this was his best game for Rangers.
:10:16. > :10:21.He believes Celtic that day. He has quality and strength, you just
:10:21. > :10:28.wonder who they will pair with whom, will it be McCulloch and cousin?
:10:28. > :10:32.Will it be silly and McCulloch? Lots of options. I said a few
:10:32. > :10:37.months ago, cousin was not a great signing. The predicament traders
:10:37. > :10:42.are in, it was a great decision. can Rangers hang in there? A they

:10:46. > :10:50.things are not great, but you can only look at the response they got

:11:37. > :11:45.same team we scored four against Hearts in midweek. Daniel
:11:45. > :11:50.Majstorovic took over four at the regular. The central defensive pair

:12:47. > :12:54.The header flicked to Hooper. Matthews. For Brown. First time for
:12:54. > :13:01.James Forrest. This looks promising. Very promising! Old Firm match
:13:01. > :13:07.winner Joe Ledley strikes again. His seventh goal of the season.
:13:07. > :13:16.After Brown's pass played in, a forest, and at the end a tap in for
:13:16. > :13:22.Joe Ledley. 16 minutes gone, 1-0. Charlie Moore grew, a good strike.
:13:22. > :13:32.Him -- Charlie Mulgrew. There was a lot of movement on the
:13:32. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:39.ball. Good work from Joe Ledley. James Forrest shifting through the
:13:39. > :13:48.tears. Charlie will groom with the strike.
:13:48. > :13:58.That was late. -- Charlie Mulgrew. It looked inviting, but he was
:13:58. > :14:15.
:14:15. > :14:25.looking for the shot at goal. Quite the way by Essen. Lots of pressure
:14:25. > :14:33.
:14:33. > :14:38.from Celtic. Looking for goal Williams. There is Mulgrew. Sliding
:14:38. > :14:47.in, Steve Williams. Free kick given. He seemed to get the ball and it is
:14:47. > :14:55.going to be a yellow card as well. Bemused, I think is the look.
:14:55. > :15:03.Powerful and pacy and it took to Celtic players to stop him. To
:15:03. > :15:07.allow last-ditch challenge and it will be a red card. Judge not to

:15:29. > :15:37.tapped into the side net. Inverness with their one-man advantage are
:15:37. > :15:47.looking to make it count. A disappointing finish, this one.
:15:47. > :15:49.
:15:49. > :15:59.Adam mates on the set-piece. -- Matthews. Stuck on the goal-line by
:15:59. > :16:09.Williams. It will be a second yellow card for at the Inverness
:16:09. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:31.defender. He is off. Besides are neck Ross. -- Nick Ross. The
:16:31. > :16:41.youngster hangs his head. A real opportunity for a late equaliser.
:16:41. > :16:42.
:16:42. > :16:49.Brown. One of those mesmerising runs. Terrific play. All it lacked
:16:49. > :16:57.was the finishing touch. It looks as though one call is going to have
:16:58. > :17:02.to be enough to extend Celtic's Celtic wondering if they will
:17:02. > :17:06.appeal against that red card. I am not sure they have an awful lot of
:17:06. > :17:12.the TV evidence here to back them up. Be coverage is nothing to do
:17:12. > :17:16.with us, we should point out, although we do broadcaster. Johnny

:17:22. > :17:26.think they have conclusive evidence if he has the ball. I think if he

:17:49. > :17:53.felt his team did not turn up. This time, did it meant we did turn up.
:17:53. > :17:56.They were much more competitive. They had a fair bit of the ball.
:17:56. > :18:00.When the chances came their way, and there were a couple of them,
:18:00. > :18:03.they did not make the most of it. He will be pleased it was the
:18:03. > :18:09.better performers. Look at the bodies in the box, you do not
:18:09. > :18:13.always get those time and the chances. This one, Nick Ross, the
:18:13. > :18:17.one thing I'll say about both chances is that you have to hit the
:18:17. > :18:20.target. If you have options in the box, you have to goal across the
:18:20. > :18:24.goalkeeper or pick them out, but you must hit the target. Terry
:18:24. > :18:29.Butcher will be pleased with the performers. Celtic did not play
:18:29. > :18:35.well. It was better than last week. Celtic, we have spoken about
:18:35. > :18:39.Rangers winning the title, the do not always play well. When you're
:18:39. > :18:45.not playing well and you are still getting the three points, that has
:18:45. > :18:55.also taken do is to keep winning games. That is 100 up for NEWLINE
:18:55. > :19:25.
:19:25. > :19:30.and since he took over. -- Neil Lennon. It has not always gone
:19:30. > :19:37.smoothly but he has turned it round. As I had said, they have had their
:19:37. > :19:41.heard moments and he has had to turn around. He has turned it all
:19:41. > :19:45.around and nothing but credit for him. Eight he should be pretty
:19:45. > :19:50.happy with his record, but he does not want any more slot. A those are
:19:50. > :19:54.the goals that took Celtic to the League Cup final, last season's
:19:54. > :19:59.Scottish Cup final, a comprehensive defeat of Motherwell and Neil
:19:59. > :20:03.Lennon with his hands on silverware for the first time as manager. You
:20:03. > :20:08.do wonder, don't you, whether he might just have his hands on
:20:08. > :20:11.another three trophies this season. Certain has opportunities. What
:20:11. > :20:16.ended up at slip ups is the key games, the finals, the semi-finals,
:20:16. > :20:19.the key games like Inverness in the last game, the one that they lost
:20:19. > :20:23.the championship in the last season, that is the ones that he will not
:20:23. > :20:28.want any more slip-ups in. It is impressive reading his records are
:20:28. > :20:35.for. Motherwell were planning on holding their -- strength in the
:20:35. > :20:44.hold on for a place at. -- restaurant in the hold on third
:20:44. > :20:49.sides Swinney last met in December and so it proved again. Steven
:20:49. > :20:55.Thompson will think he should have done better with his early effort.
:20:55. > :21:03.The striker was on form but after a cross, he just could not trouble

:21:10. > :21:17.Jennings. Stuart McCall will be asking why the former Rangers man
:21:17. > :21:21.was left unchallenged. His man on the post saved the day. The home
:21:21. > :21:31.side's hopes were up and they pressed on. And Gary Teale and
:21:31. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:38.burial are delivered. -- newly delivered. He sure it may well have
:21:38. > :21:47.been deflected, but run-off was alert to tip over. Mother will have
:21:47. > :21:52.the first a claim for a penalty dismissed. Some good build-up play.
:21:52. > :21:57.But we are going down more in hope than expectation. Stuart McCall

:22:29. > :22:33.there will, and was a tap-in at the? It was close range, not a
:22:33. > :22:36.badge out. The referees is no. Peter and drabs by a sense of

:22:41. > :22:45.Taurean winner was pulling the strings and pulling the trigger.
:22:46. > :22:50.Fantastic fit work, Sampson again equal to the task. It would be one

:23:12. > :23:15.Since beating Rangers on Christmas Eve, they have not won. It is
:23:15. > :23:18.frustrating because they are playing such good football and
:23:18. > :23:21.moving it around and the expectation is good and then when
:23:21. > :23:24.they get there, they are not getting enough calls. When you
:23:24. > :23:29.getting at emitter of play and removing it slightly, you want
:23:29. > :23:38.something at the end of it. They are not getting that. The strikers
:23:39. > :23:42.are top quality -- strikers that get the goals will cost money. You
:23:42. > :23:47.need someone that is up their scoring regular it. That is why
:23:47. > :23:52.some barren have failed to pick up more points. Could they be
:23:52. > :23:57.vulnerable on Tuesday night in the Scottish Cup replay. They have lost
:23:57. > :24:01.up there before, so they will not be looking for to that trip. They
:24:01. > :24:06.would have liked to get it over and done with. They will be glad to be
:24:06. > :24:10.in it, but it is a dodgy place to go to get a cup result. We spotted
:24:10. > :24:13.in the coverage what looked like a good turnout from the mother will
:24:13. > :24:17.fans and it should be, because of the results that they had been
:24:17. > :24:21.having. Doing well in the League, playing some good football. Not far
:24:21. > :24:25.to travel. I was quite pleasantly surprised to see a good mother will

:29:00. > :29:03.must look at the progression of the team. I was worried for my old team
:29:03. > :29:07.at the start of the season. Craig Brown is getting together some good
:29:07. > :29:12.players. He suddenly turned the game around. They are unbeaten

:40:31. > :40:36.chasing, another mistake in the St Johnstone defence, and a tap-in for

:41:34. > :41:38.He has an awareness and is so intelligent. One about this?
:41:38. > :41:47.would break my ankles if I tried that. It is amazing. It is up there
:41:47. > :41:52.with Eden bt D. If he plays like this, you just wonder, how long can
:41:52. > :41:58.you hold on to him? He has every attribute. He was two years at
:41:58. > :42:01.Liverpool. I think he had a hit in today problem at the time was held
:42:01. > :42:05.him back. If you're at Liverpool in the first place, you have something
:42:05. > :42:11.special. Yes, and sometimes you do not fulfil your potential until
:42:11. > :42:16.later years. At 22, he has really come to the fore. You see his
:42:16. > :42:19.delivery last week at Ibrox and that wonderful skill yesterday, the
:42:19. > :42:24.cross is that he is picking out and the goals that he is going, the
:42:24. > :42:28.complete package. Talking of top deliveries, have Dundee United
:42:28. > :42:32.given up hope of keeping Paul Dixon's contract? They would do
:42:32. > :42:36.well to hold on to him. If they were going to, they would do would
:42:36. > :42:42.have been done by now. They have realised he will go on to bigger
:42:42. > :42:46.things. He set up one of the goals at Ibrox last week. Another top
:42:46. > :42:53.prospect. St Johnstone must best back from that. They have a cup
:42:53. > :42:58.replay against Hearts on Tuesday. Well the goalkeeper be lost? I feel

:43:32. > :43:36.Before we go, you would radically still bad Premier League. Four
