:02:03. > :02:04.action, Steven Thompson Rangers' new manager
:02:05. > :02:25.Pedro Caixinha in the stands. James Forrest back after injury for
:02:26. > :02:28.Celtic, straight into the starting line-up, replacing Gary
:02:29. > :02:32.Mackay-Steven. Otherwise it is the team which played in the Scottish
:02:33. > :02:53.Cup semifinals. Danny Wilson comes in. Lee Hodson comes in. Toral
:02:54. > :03:01.missing out. Barrie McKay, outside the Right foot. Snapshot from
:03:02. > :03:12.Waghorn, kept alive on the byline. Wallace prodding a pass. Suddenly
:03:13. > :03:22.Brown charging forward. Sinclair against Hodson. Scott Sinclair in
:03:23. > :03:28.the end runs out of room. First chance for the 18 goals Sinclair to
:03:29. > :03:36.stretches legs. Shut up pretty effectively. Brendan Rodgers hoping
:03:37. > :03:48.his team can make it 23 straight Premiership wins. Wilson in trouble.
:03:49. > :03:54.Dembele had the chance. He likes a goal against Rangers. Five already.
:03:55. > :04:04.Wilson struggled. The opportunity opened up for Moussa Dembele.
:04:05. > :04:16.Through for Waghorn. Is it the opening goal? Great save Craig
:04:17. > :04:23.Gordon. What a chance for Waghorn, he gets the second opportunity on
:04:24. > :04:27.the end of Tavernier's Russ. What an opportunity. Suddenly Waghorn could
:04:28. > :04:39.see the Whites of Craig Gordon's eyes. What a big save this is from
:04:40. > :04:56.Craig Gordon. Waiting in the wings for Rangers, the new manager.
:04:57. > :05:02.Wallace getting his head to it. Flattered in central midfield. James
:05:03. > :05:07.Forrest emerging with a really good run down the middle. Clint Hill's
:05:08. > :05:15.challenge punished with a free kick. Right in front of goal. So difficult
:05:16. > :05:24.to stop James Forrest. When he opens up like that. That was off-the-ball,
:05:25. > :05:32.as he made his move. Stuart Armstrong. Clipping the outside of
:05:33. > :05:42.the post. Was there a touch from Wes Foderingham? Lots of action on the
:05:43. > :05:50.ball, taking a deflection of Nir Bitton. James Forrest twisting one
:05:51. > :05:54.way and then the other. Wilson was late. Might well be carded for that.
:05:55. > :06:07.Advantage play. Kieran Tierney lets rip. Good
:06:08. > :06:10.strike, not too far away from the top corner, this. Little backflips.
:06:11. > :06:30.Some strike. -- backlift. James Forrest, to Armstrong. Great
:06:31. > :06:38.strike from Stuart Armstrong. The Old Firm opener. All he needed was
:06:39. > :06:57.the glimmer of a chance. He rifled that in. The deadlock broken at
:06:58. > :07:06.Celtic Park. The mistake from Holt severely punished. The shot fizzing
:07:07. > :07:11.past Wes Foderingham, inside the post. The runaway leaders on track
:07:12. > :07:24.for their fifth win of the season against Rangers.
:07:25. > :07:45.Martyn Waghorn could be in. Stumbling at the crucial moment. He
:07:46. > :07:53.would not quite full for Waghorn. Armstrong making himself available.
:07:54. > :08:02.Holding off the challenge from Tavernier. The cutback for McGregor.
:08:03. > :08:12.Lovely skill from the 19-year-old, see you later. McGregor could have
:08:13. > :08:16.made more of the cutback. Kieran Tierney, opening up for the
:08:17. > :08:29.full-back. Flicking it wide instead for Sinclair. Jinking onto the right
:08:30. > :08:34.and left. Celtic are probing as Rangers again. Looking for the
:08:35. > :08:46.all-important second goal. Armstrong. Threatening again, Stuart
:08:47. > :08:56.Armstrong. Really good save. Might just have the narrowing in the post.
:08:57. > :09:03.Kieran Tierney again. Danny Wilson, another clumsy touch from him.
:09:04. > :09:22.Dembele threatening. Did not quite catch the shot. Scuffing it in the
:09:23. > :09:30.end, Moussa Dembele. Dembele. Armstrong, invited to shoot, you and
:09:31. > :09:37.he does. Flying save from Wes Foderingham. Dangerous looking
:09:38. > :09:46.challenge by Tavernier on Dembele. Wes Foderingham called into action.
:09:47. > :09:51.As the ball ran to the byline, was there a clip by Tavernier on
:09:52. > :10:07.Dembele? Did he trip himself up. Kenny Miller, turning the ball in
:10:08. > :10:15.for Waghorn. Craig Gordon out to make the save. Celtic seems to
:10:16. > :10:20.switch off for a moment that was the Celtic goalkeeper had to look sharp
:10:21. > :10:31.there. Getting there in the nick of time. Martyn Waghorn passing up
:10:32. > :10:38.another chance to score. Kieran Tierney gives it away, not too often
:10:39. > :10:47.you use those words. Tavernier. Waghorn gives chase. Bumped into by
:10:48. > :10:57.Dedryck Boyata. Shoulder to shoulder, the two of them. The
:10:58. > :11:03.crosses curled in. Flicked on by militants opportunity for Josh
:11:04. > :11:11.Windass. Won back by Holt. Jason Holt with the curling effort,
:11:12. > :11:22.bouncing just why. -- just wide. Lunging challenge. Winning the ball.
:11:23. > :11:24.Patrick Roberts reckoned this was a sure-fire free kick. The referee
:11:25. > :11:43.thinking otherwise. Holt went close. Quick and slick from Celtic. Dembele
:11:44. > :11:49.this on the left foot, screws it wide. Moussa Dembele, looking for
:11:50. > :12:09.another Old Firm goal. Celtic win it. Leigh Griffiths.
:12:10. > :12:13.Slicing the effort way wide. Well capable of scoring from here, as we
:12:14. > :12:22.well know. Off-balance that time. Never really set for the shot.
:12:23. > :12:35.Tavernier's delivery. Second chance, James Tavernier. Great save, Craig
:12:36. > :12:48.Gordon. Forced in by Clint Hill. 1-1. Clint Hill's fifth goal for
:12:49. > :12:55.Rangers. The new manager is Carmen the exterior. He will have enjoyed
:12:56. > :13:02.that moment. Like every Rangers fan inside Celtic Park. Gordon made a
:13:03. > :13:14.really good save. Powerless to do anything about the loose ball. Clint
:13:15. > :13:18.Hill getting there first. Our Rangers going to deny Celtic their
:13:19. > :13:23.fourth Old Firm win of the season? For only the second time, taking
:13:24. > :13:30.points in the Premiership against the runaway leaders. Celtic going
:13:31. > :13:37.Route one in search of the late winner. The Challenger Leigh
:13:38. > :13:42.Griffiths. And again. Down goes the substitute. No penalty. Big decision
:13:43. > :13:48.for Bobby Madley. The question is, did Clint Hill get a touch on the
:13:49. > :13:58.ball. Did he go through Leigh Griffiths first? Celtic suddenly in
:13:59. > :14:05.search of a late winner. In four Dembele. Deflected shot from Leigh
:14:06. > :14:14.Griffiths. Almost poking up for Moussa Dembele. Scrambled clear.
:14:15. > :14:25.Finding the heart Yard for the shot at goal. -- the heart
:14:26. > :14:37.. Scott Sinclair was foiled. There goes the final whistle. For the
:14:38. > :14:49.first time this season, Rangers get something against Celtic, courtesy
:14:50. > :14:56.of Clint Hill's late leveller. Craig Gordon saving from Emerson Heineman.
:14:57. > :15:06.Stuart Armstrong firing Celtic in front. It finishes, at Celtic Park,
:15:07. > :15:11.Celtic 1-1 Rangers. First half, we were not as fluid, did not have the
:15:12. > :15:15.control of the game we wanted. Passing backwards instead of
:15:16. > :15:19.forwards. We made a change at half-time. I thought we had a much
:15:20. > :15:24.better control in the second half, always looking like the threatening
:15:25. > :15:31.team. We concede a goal, we are disappointed with. The second phase,
:15:32. > :15:38.we leave a gap. The boy gets a shot in, they score from the rebound.
:15:39. > :15:43.Then we do not get a clear penalty, talking to the referee after the
:15:44. > :15:47.game. Clint Hill said on the pitch to me after the game, he got away
:15:48. > :15:53.with that. Disappointed between the four officials they do not see it,
:15:54. > :16:07.looked a clear penalty. Lots to talk about after
:16:08. > :16:14.that, Graeme Murty city with the spirit. Did Rangers deserved a
:16:15. > :16:18.point? For me, they did. Started the game of a real intensity. Going
:16:19. > :16:24.4-4-2, pressing Celtic high up the pitch. Barrie McKay is the trigger.
:16:25. > :16:29.He knows not to sell himself, or commit. Waiting to see what Craig
:16:30. > :16:34.Gordon does. Again Rangers working really well in the opening stage, in
:16:35. > :16:41.terms of the pressing. Kenny forcing Dedryck Boyata out for the throw in.
:16:42. > :16:47.Graeme Murty deserves a lot of credit into the high press. Celtic
:16:48. > :16:54.escaping it to an extent. Comes out wide, but Rangers for Celtic back up
:16:55. > :17:05.the pitch. They started with a real intensity that a lot of people did
:17:06. > :17:16.not expect. It is a hard one, Martyn Waghorn in on the keeper. Bright
:17:17. > :17:21.start from Rangers. If they managed to score at that point. They could
:17:22. > :17:25.have converted the dominance they had early on. Which is what they
:17:26. > :17:30.would have been looking for. Brendan Rodgers speaking about them passing
:17:31. > :17:35.the ball back too much. Rangers need credit, they deserve credit. Stuart
:17:36. > :17:40.Armstrong argued the best player on the pitch. Should you be in the
:17:41. > :17:46.Scotland squad tomorrow? No doubt he should be in the Scotland squad.
:17:47. > :17:50.There is a claim he should be in the starting team in the form he is in.
:17:51. > :17:55.Good first touch, to find the bottom corner, disappointing clearance from
:17:56. > :18:01.Jason Holt. Armstrong is so quick to latch onto it. One touch out of his
:18:02. > :18:04.feet, balance well. What a strike. A lot of strikes on goal today were
:18:05. > :18:11.superb. Burned-out player on the pitch. He had the little injury,
:18:12. > :18:14.coming back again. Top, top player. It would be astonishing if he was
:18:15. > :18:19.not in the squad. Real shout for him to be in the starting XI. Gordon
:18:20. > :18:25.Strachan at the game today. We will get into this later, Celtic knot on
:18:26. > :18:32.top of their game entirely. Rangers, to their credit, they came back into
:18:33. > :18:38.it in style. Too many of the Celtic performers did not reach the level.
:18:39. > :18:42.From 70 minutes onwards, the defender is meandering back in.
:18:43. > :18:45.Another smart stop from Craig Gordon. When Rangers got to 80
:18:46. > :18:52.minutes, you felt they were going for it. That is a horrendous tackle.
:18:53. > :19:00.Yellow card, fowl, the referee does not see it. Rangers building
:19:01. > :19:05.momentum. These three players, you would want them to rotate.
:19:06. > :19:11.Unfortunately you have McGregor and Roberts in there. They drift out of
:19:12. > :19:14.position, creating the hole Brendan Rodgers spoke about. Emerson
:19:15. > :19:24.Heineman with the shot across Gordon, good save. Good credit from
:19:25. > :19:30.Hill. He's not tracked in. Well done, Clint Hill, getting there.
:19:31. > :19:37.Brendan Rodgers landing Clint Hill in it, regarding the penalty appeal.
:19:38. > :19:43.You are not convinced, Stephen? This is a free kick outside the box. As
:19:44. > :19:47.they go in, it sits high. Understand why the battery has not given it.
:19:48. > :19:52.Seize the ball move. Definite touch from Clint Hill. Watching from this
:19:53. > :19:57.angle, the anyway Clint Hill can get that ball, does not matter what the
:19:58. > :20:03.anglers, he has to go through Leigh Griffiths. He has two foul him. The
:20:04. > :20:08.argument about where he is, and the ankle, is irrelevant. Because the
:20:09. > :20:13.ball sits up, gives Clint Hill the opportunity to get his foot in. Yes
:20:14. > :20:23.he does, he has two foul the player first. I do think he did. That is
:20:24. > :20:26.relevant. Wherever the referee is, the Borders on the left-hand side of
:20:27. > :20:32.Leigh Griffiths, he is on the right committee has two foul Leigh
:20:33. > :20:36.Griffiths. Not a big enough out. He has touched him. I think it is
:20:37. > :20:42.crazy. Brendan Rodgers talks about refocusing for the semifinal.
:20:43. > :20:46.Disappointed obviously. Really gives Bell at the start of the second
:20:47. > :20:49.half. Armstrong was good. Too many of the biggest players did not show
:20:50. > :20:55.up. Dembele, Sinclair, James Forrest. This semifinal is
:20:56. > :21:00.absolutely massive. Celtic are desperate for the treble. Rangers
:21:01. > :21:03.showed today they are capable of causing an upset. What of the new
:21:04. > :21:10.coach make of it. In the stands today? Any manager appointment comes
:21:11. > :21:13.an element of a gamble. In terms of the fact he does not have a great
:21:14. > :21:18.deal of knowledge of Scottish football. We don't know a great deal
:21:19. > :21:23.about him. Time will tell whether he turns out the right appointment. Big
:21:24. > :21:28.overhaul needed in the summer to make Rangers more competitive. Time
:21:29. > :21:32.will tell, whether the funds will be there to do that.
:21:33. > :21:34.Hearts still hoping to catch Rangers, but Ian Cathro's side
:21:35. > :21:38.They'd lost their last three games ahead of the match with Hamilton.
:21:39. > :21:46.But the Accies without a win at Tynecastle in 40 years.
:21:47. > :21:58.Jamie Walker is back foot Hearts. Two changes from the team Bscanty
:21:59. > :22:04.ten days ago. Five changes for Hamilton after losing 6-0 at Ibrox.
:22:05. > :22:16.McKinnon is suspended. Barry gives backing goal. -- Barry Gibbs backing
:22:17. > :22:24.goal. Flying save from Gary Woods. That is missed by McMahon. What an
:22:25. > :22:47.opportunity for gun -- Goncalves, knows he should be
:22:48. > :22:56.scoring. Redmond give it away. Hamilton on the back foot. Good
:22:57. > :23:12.strike from Mickelson. Shaping up as a busy afternoon for Woods. Walker,
:23:13. > :23:20.finding space. Goncalves. Another stop from Woods. He had to adjust,
:23:21. > :23:32.to claw the subway. Under pressure, Hamilton. Cowie's corner kick, off
:23:33. > :23:39.the training ground. Good effort, juggled, finally felled by Gary
:23:40. > :23:52.Woods. Maybe more off the laptop than the training ground. Walker, a
:23:53. > :23:59.quick hit. Quick reactions from Woods, to keep this out. Being in.
:24:00. > :24:27.Bingham. It is Gary Woods against Hearts at the moment. Lovely pass
:24:28. > :24:37.from Novak. Cut back. Walker. Finally Hearts in front. Taken until
:24:38. > :24:47.first-half stoppage time. For the home team to get what they deserve.
:24:48. > :24:57.Finally Gary Woods beat, 1-0. Down went Walker. Looking for the free
:24:58. > :25:02.kick. McMahon, back to Woods. This will be a free kick for handling the
:25:03. > :25:13.backpass. Gary Woods claiming he heard the whistle. Craig Thomson
:25:14. > :25:24.says no. Big opportunity for Hearts. Goncalves. Dumping it in. Ten
:25:25. > :25:30.minutes after the interval, two goal advantage for Hearts. Controversial
:25:31. > :25:43.ruling. No way back it would seem for Hamilton. Walker is away. Taken
:25:44. > :25:51.out. That will be yellow. Very inviting free kick opportunity for
:25:52. > :25:57.Hearts. Walker, that is brilliant. Right out of the top drawer from
:25:58. > :26:03.Jamie Walker. Any doubts about the outcome at Tynecastle are removed
:26:04. > :26:12.now. Two goals in little more than a minute. Given away again. Donati
:26:13. > :26:23.this time. Gary Woods found a way of keeping this out, unconventional,
:26:24. > :26:39.but it worked. The free kick is given. Close call, this. Might have
:26:40. > :26:45.been a penalty. They scored number four. Gary Woods has been battered
:26:46. > :26:51.into submission. This one going right through him. Our job is to win
:26:52. > :26:55.games, get enough points to stay in the league. If we perform like that,
:26:56. > :27:00.we won't, because that is not enough. If we look at other teams
:27:01. > :27:04.about us, talking about not playing well, but we're not bottom of the
:27:05. > :27:08.league. We created a lot of attacks, good play on the sides. Through
:27:09. > :27:18.that, we managed to stop Hamilton from having any real prolonged phase
:27:19. > :27:21.of pressure around our box. Being strong, the right decisions, leading
:27:22. > :27:28.to press, get ourselves high up the pitch as much as we could. Strong
:27:29. > :27:33.performance defensively. Fantastic victory for Hearts after a poor run
:27:34. > :27:38.of form. A tale two halves for the Hamilton Academicals' goalkeeper,
:27:39. > :27:45.Gary Woods. A number of good saves in the first half. Good save. This
:27:46. > :27:49.one download, managing to get it past the post, wonder. And this
:27:50. > :27:55.bizarre incident ten minutes into the second half. Looks like team
:27:56. > :28:00.stops. I don't understand why he does not just stop it with his foot.
:28:01. > :28:07.A bit of uncertainty. Not under any real pressure, getting close down.
:28:08. > :28:14.Look where they take it from 60 yards away. Bigger target for
:28:15. > :28:20.Goncalves de hit. No chance for Woods on that one. That is terrible.
:28:21. > :28:26.Terrible attempt at saving it. The wall is lined up poorly. At least
:28:27. > :28:31.one man outside the post, to make it difficult to bend it around. A clear
:28:32. > :28:38.gap. Pour from the goalkeeper. Hearts creating a lot of chances.
:28:39. > :28:46.How much can this be a springboard for them? A lot of criticism. They
:28:47. > :28:49.will hope it is a springboard. Typical fixtures, Aberdeen away,
:28:50. > :28:55.Celtic at home. Going to be a tough run. They have been in a number of
:28:56. > :28:58.games against teams in the bottom half of the league, not picking up
:28:59. > :29:05.on the points. They will hope this 4-0 win against Hamilton gives them
:29:06. > :29:13.some confidence. They will not be judged by a home game against
:29:14. > :29:17.Hamilton. Hearts need higher expectations. Not getting any easier
:29:18. > :29:21.for Hamilton. They have tough fixtures, they have been through a
:29:22. > :29:25.tough set of fixtures. Losing ten goals in the last two games, they
:29:26. > :29:27.are Ibrox next week. Worrying period.
:29:28. > :29:31.St Johnstone still very much in the European hunt, but they'd
:29:32. > :29:52.St Johnstone lost the Ibrox last time out. No Anderson. Enforced
:29:53. > :30:10.change from Paul Hartley from the side that lost to Partick Thistle.
:30:11. > :30:26.Olsen has plenty of power. Out wide to Maclean. Cummings, too straight.
:30:27. > :30:32.Throws his hands up in horror. He wanted to put that either side of
:30:33. > :30:44.the goalkeeper. That is just kept in. No doubt about the clearance.
:30:45. > :30:56.Options left and right for Clarke. Foster outside goes long. Cummings,
:30:57. > :31:05.Paul Paton makes the run. Great midfield run. Scores for St
:31:06. > :31:12.Johnstone for the very first time. 12 minutes gone. Simple header, back
:31:13. > :31:23.across, he wanted it more. Foster. McLean. Cummings playing it back to
:31:24. > :31:27.Swanson. Going for the top corner. The dominance of the match
:31:28. > :31:34.continues. Real pressure on this Dundee back four. St Johnstone
:31:35. > :31:43.losing their last three home matches. In better fettle today.
:31:44. > :31:52.Blair Olsen beating Nicky Brett the near post. Cummings clipping it on.
:31:53. > :31:56.Taking it in his stride. There was pace in that. The goalkeeper
:31:57. > :32:02.certainly looking to be at fault. Dundee falling two behind.
:32:03. > :32:10.Yet to see Dundee as a serious attacking threat. Not going to do
:32:11. > :32:14.so. Here comes Swanson. McLean making a great run. A chance for a
:32:15. > :32:19.third. Touched over the top by Scott Bain. The thumbs up from Steve
:32:20. > :32:23.Maclean. A great little ball. Didn't have to break stride. Not the
:32:24. > :32:33.cleanest of shots, as he fell away. Reflective off Craig. -- deflected
:32:34. > :32:38.off Craig. Paul Paton away. Mark O'Hara returns to the danger area.
:32:39. > :32:43.Headers into the path of James Vincent. Good save from Zander
:32:44. > :32:47.Clark. It will not fall Dundee's way in the box. James Vincent, 22nd
:32:48. > :32:58.appearance for Dundee today. Looking for his first goal. It nearly came.
:32:59. > :33:06.Graham Cummins have had a good game. Swanson back towards Cummings. Into
:33:07. > :33:13.McLean. It's a beautiful backheel onto Paton. That's wonderful
:33:14. > :33:16.football again from St Johnstone. Brilliant little backheel and Paul
:33:17. > :33:26.Paton just opened his body up. That was meant for the top corner.
:33:27. > :33:32.They are struggling to get goals at this level. Just two so far this
:33:33. > :33:37.season. It doesn't give the Dundee fans anything to shout about here.
:33:38. > :33:42.Good technique initially, dragged it well wide. A disappointing
:33:43. > :33:52.afternoon. Williams with a free kick. It's deflected off Forster for
:33:53. > :33:56.the corner. Beautiful delivery. Credit the striker for giving the
:33:57. > :34:01.strike away. I thought we were excellent from the first whistle and
:34:02. > :34:04.it was more like the type of performance we have had at home in
:34:05. > :34:08.the past, but maybe not too often this year. The tempo we played from
:34:09. > :34:12.the first to the last was excellent and that's with or without the ball.
:34:13. > :34:17.The flattest performance of the season for us. We were right off the
:34:18. > :34:24.pace. St Johnstone were more determined than is and it was a poor
:34:25. > :34:27.performance for us. A good home victory for St Johnstone. They will
:34:28. > :34:32.have enjoyed that. Blair Alston arrived from Falkirk in the summer.
:34:33. > :34:38.What have you made of his overall development at St Johnstone? He's
:34:39. > :34:40.doing well. He was a standout performer at Falkirk. It's taking
:34:41. > :34:45.him time to get used to the Premiership. He brings energy to the
:34:46. > :34:47.team and can bring goals. He's a dynamic player. The thing that
:34:48. > :34:52.impressed me most yesterday was the timing of a lot of his runs. He was
:34:53. > :34:56.linking up with the front two very well and running beyond them on
:34:57. > :35:03.occasions. Again, another effort on goal. He was a standout yesterday.
:35:04. > :35:05.How poor is the defending from Dundee? The goalkeeper was beaten
:35:06. > :35:09.from the front post. Alston has taken time to settle and I would
:35:10. > :35:13.expect to hit him -- hit the ground running. He was talking about the
:35:14. > :35:20.performance full of tempo. That's something that Blair Alston brings
:35:21. > :35:26.to the side as well. It was the flattest performance of
:35:27. > :35:30.their season? Defensively it didn't look great. They've had an
:35:31. > :35:34.up-and-down season. It looked as if they will struggle to get into the
:35:35. > :35:39.top six. That's where Dundee have got to be aiming. If they finish in
:35:40. > :35:42.the bottom six it hasn't been a successful season. They need to
:35:43. > :35:47.realise there's only a certain number of points above the play-off
:35:48. > :35:51.place and they play Celtic and Aberdeen next. They are tough games.
:35:52. > :35:56.You can get dragged down so quickly. Why are they so hot and cold? A
:35:57. > :36:00.great question, I'm sure Paul -- Paul Hartley is scratching his head
:36:01. > :36:06.and wondering. It's a concern for him. To get caught in the bottom
:36:07. > :36:07.six, it is up in the air in terms of who will finish in the play-off
:36:08. > :36:10.spot. The last time Motherwell went
:36:11. > :36:12.to Aberdeen they were on the end of a 7-2 mauling and Mark McGhee
:36:13. > :36:15.became a social media sensation. A lot can change in
:36:16. > :36:18.the space of a few weeks. McGhee gone, Steve Robinson
:36:19. > :36:30.in caretaker charge this time. Ryan Jack is back earlier than
:36:31. > :36:34.expected. There is a start but oh, in defence in place of the suspended
:36:35. > :36:41.Andrew Considine. Motherwell are without their top scorer but jewel
:36:42. > :36:44.has made it, as Stephen Robinson looks to build on last week's
:36:45. > :36:51.encouraging win at Kilmarnock. Stephen Robinson, only recently
:36:52. > :36:56.returned to the club. Certainly in the box seat as far as the job is
:36:57. > :37:01.concerned here at Motherwell. The header from Heneghan goes into the
:37:02. > :37:09.side net. That's Motherwell's first real opportunity.
:37:10. > :37:20.I shake of the head from the referee at Nial McGinn, keeping it alive.
:37:21. > :37:27.Rooney. A fabulous save by Samson. This is instinctive. By the Scotland
:37:28. > :37:34.squad keeper, to keep out Adam Rooney, who didn't know much about
:37:35. > :37:40.it. I find challenge their, by O'Connor on McDonald. Scott McDonald
:37:41. > :37:49.Mr the 7-2 defeat here. Mark McGhee's final act. It's Nial
:37:50. > :37:54.McGinn. Relatively comfortable, that time, for Samson. Nial McGinn loves
:37:55. > :38:13.a strike from outside the box. Jack. McGinn. He'll fancy a game. And
:38:14. > :38:21.that's why. He was denied by Partick Thistle last week. Now again, Craig
:38:22. > :38:25.Samson is keeping him out this time. Craig Clay has given it straight to
:38:26. > :38:36.Jack. Here's McGinn. Heneghan comes to meet him. Squeezes it over. They
:38:37. > :38:48.want a penalty. Gives it back. Zach Jules was in the way. He feels he
:38:49. > :38:52.was impeded by McHugh. Taylor, Aberdeen looking for an eighth
:38:53. > :38:56.successive home victory. They haven't managed that since the
:38:57. > :39:02.Ferguson era. It's a wonderful ball in by McLean. He might have expected
:39:03. > :39:06.one of his strikers to turn round. He's been in fabulous form, Kenny
:39:07. > :39:12.McLean and knocking on the Scotland door.
:39:13. > :39:18.Motherwell desperate for a clean sheet. They haven't managed one in
:39:19. > :39:23.the league in a year. Away from home. That was scooped over by
:39:24. > :39:31.Shinnie. Yet another terrific goal by McLean.
:39:32. > :39:39.Christie, not long on as a sub. Aberdeen hunting down a winning
:39:40. > :39:50.goal. It's McGinn, again, denied by Samson, again. And impacted by
:39:51. > :39:59.Christie. Stolen away from Q. -- from McHugh. Unexpected Pittodrie
:40:00. > :40:06.crowd. -- and expectant Pittodrie crowd. A wonderful home record,
:40:07. > :40:10.Aberdeen. This is Ryan Christie. The clock though continuing to tick
:40:11. > :40:18.down. Any McLean. There's Craig Samson. Who is on a one-man mission
:40:19. > :40:23.to make amends for that last visit here.
:40:24. > :40:37.Here's Hayes. Good jinking play by Hayes. That's Nial McGinn, and Dave
:40:38. > :40:44.won it! They have won it, right at the death! You can't say they don't
:40:45. > :40:49.deserve it. The Dons players disappear up the tunnel in
:40:50. > :40:55.celebration, as Nial McGinn once again proves his worth to Aberdeen
:40:56. > :40:58.Football Club. It just shows you the spirit of the side. They never know
:40:59. > :41:04.when the beaten. Today was an of that. There was only one team here
:41:05. > :41:08.to win the game and one team to try and spoil it and we got what we
:41:09. > :41:11.deserved. It took as until the last two minutes but that's what the
:41:12. > :41:15.dressing room is all about, fighting until the end and getting a result.
:41:16. > :41:20.We matched them every step of the way and we frustrated them. They had
:41:21. > :41:24.possession in areas that would not hurt us. We defended well. I asked
:41:25. > :41:30.the boys for desire and commitment and they were organised. I can't ask
:41:31. > :41:36.for more from them. We got punished from switching off once. The players
:41:37. > :41:41.enjoyed that and can -- went off for what can only be described as a
:41:42. > :41:45.huddle in the tunnel, very odd. Enjoyable for them. Kenny McLean, a
:41:46. > :41:48.standout performer. We were talking about Stuart Armstrong and being in
:41:49. > :41:52.the Scotland squad, should Kenny McLean be in the Scotland squad
:41:53. > :41:56.tomorrow? I think he should. He has come into form of late. That's a
:41:57. > :42:01.wonderful cross with his right foot, a nice take on turn. Here, you see
:42:02. > :42:13.the different aspects of his game. This is a wonderful crossfield pass,
:42:14. > :42:16.pinpoint accuracy. I think he finds Adam Rooney with it in the end. Look
:42:17. > :42:19.at here. This is a really fantastic cross, right over the back of the
:42:20. > :42:22.defence. A great chance. He's got so many different sides to his game.
:42:23. > :42:24.This is a driving run. He gets a free kick from it. You talk about
:42:25. > :42:28.Stuart Armstrong. The one difference is that Stuart Armstrong has that
:42:29. > :42:32.finishing touch. He is scoring more goals than Kenny McLean. If he wants
:42:33. > :42:36.to step up to the next level, if you can add more goals to his game, he
:42:37. > :42:42.would be a certainty in the Scotland squad. You are going to create more
:42:43. > :42:52.chances. Stuart Armstrong's goals are not particularly scored from
:42:53. > :42:54.chances that are laid on to him. He's scoring more from strikes.
:42:55. > :42:57.Kenny McLean is capable, no doubt. He has improved in the last month
:42:58. > :42:59.and is performing better now than when he broke into the Scotland
:43:00. > :43:01.squad previously. I'd be disappointed if he wasn't in the
:43:02. > :43:06.squad. Aberdeen becoming experts at scoring late goals. They certainly
:43:07. > :43:10.are, to win 12 of the last 14 games is frightening, but 11 of the goals
:43:11. > :43:13.they have scored these seasons in -- have come in the last ten minutes of
:43:14. > :43:17.matches. They never know when they are beaten and keep going until the
:43:18. > :43:22.end. Yesterday was another game. Motherwell were stubborn, had a game
:43:23. > :43:27.plan. They had to get it right. The last two times they have conceded
:43:28. > :43:34.ten goals and they had to defend, but they find ways to beat teams and
:43:35. > :43:37.they did. When you tear -- here Tony Docherty in the interview, you can
:43:38. > :43:41.see how delighted he was they got the win and it speaks volumes for
:43:42. > :43:45.the character of the side. As for Motherwell, they have a short list
:43:46. > :43:50.of five, including Stephen Robinson, to be the full-time manager. What
:43:51. > :43:56.sort of manager do Motherwell need? A good one! A manager that is going
:43:57. > :43:59.to get results for them, because they are down in the mire there as
:44:00. > :44:03.well and as we've spoken about in respect of Dundee, you end up in the
:44:04. > :44:06.bottom six and it's all up in the air in terms of who will get in the
:44:07. > :44:07.play-offs. They need someone to steady the ship and get some
:44:08. > :44:10.results, quickly. This weekend last year,
:44:11. > :44:13.Ross County won the League Cup. This weekend, they took
:44:14. > :44:15.on a Kilmarnock side still being led by interim boss Lee
:44:16. > :44:17.McCulloch. A hamstring injury in the pre-match
:44:18. > :44:38.warm up means Scott Fox misses out. For Kilmarnock, Gori Dicko and Rory
:44:39. > :44:45.McKenzie drop out after the defeat might Motherwell. -- defeat by
:44:46. > :44:53.Motherwell. Jason Naismith with a cross. Almost caught out Freddie
:44:54. > :44:56.Woodman in the Kilmarnock goal. Nearly a freakish opener. For the
:44:57. > :45:10.fullback. Child find the ball towards the back
:45:11. > :45:17.post. Paul Quinn is there. He couldn't hit that one on target.
:45:18. > :45:27.County pressing for the opening goal.
:45:28. > :45:36.Sharp will have a chance to go for goal. It's deflected just over the
:45:37. > :45:41.crossbar. Sharp has had a few efforts. That might have been
:45:42. > :45:49.testing the goalkeeper. Long throw-in. It falls for Sammon, who
:45:50. > :45:54.slides it home. Kilmarnock, who have had so little in the way of
:45:55. > :46:00.attacking play, move in front. Boyd causing the problems, Conor Sammon
:46:01. > :46:07.with a second goal in three games. It might break for Gardyne. Instead,
:46:08. > :46:11.he lays it off for Schalk. Back for Gardyne. Didn't get hold of that.
:46:12. > :46:17.It's a really good save from Woodman, to keep his side in front.
:46:18. > :46:24.County will be stung by Kilmarnock having taken the lead. They've
:46:25. > :46:28.really dominated most of this match. There's boys, it's deflected over.
:46:29. > :46:36.County must be wondering what they have to do to score. Liam Boyce, his
:46:37. > :46:44.shot deflected over by the former Koeman, Scott Boyd. Van der Weg.
:46:45. > :46:56.That's current, back for Boyce. He got hold of that. A deserved
:46:57. > :47:02.equaliser for Ross County full. Liam Boyce's first league goal this year.
:47:03. > :47:06.Gardyne does well to find room for the cross. That was Naismith, coming
:47:07. > :47:12.into the back post. Woodman felt he had to touch it round the post. It
:47:13. > :47:17.might well have been heading wide in any case, but the keeper taking no
:47:18. > :47:21.chances. Jim McIntyre must feel his side can go on and take all three
:47:22. > :47:27.points. Sharp with a chance to put them ahead. Again, he's not too far
:47:28. > :47:34.away and again, it's a good save from Woodman. Dipping free kick.
:47:35. > :47:43.It's Quinn, getting on the end of that and Van der Weg, so close. So
:47:44. > :47:52.close to putting County in front for the first time in the match.
:47:53. > :48:00.Kristoffer Ajer hacks it away, Fraser returns it. County pick up
:48:01. > :48:06.possession. It's Schalk. Woodman on this occasion couldn't hold it.
:48:07. > :48:11.Schalk has had at least half a dozen efforts on goal himself.
:48:12. > :48:23.Hendry. Kilmarnock pick up once more. Wilson, with a hopeful ball.
:48:24. > :48:28.Boyd might just get on the end of that. He has. And would you believe
:48:29. > :48:32.it, Chris Boyd, with just five minutes remaining, looks like he's
:48:33. > :48:38.given Kilmarnock all three points. Something of a smash grab act. Not
:48:39. > :48:46.really defended by Ross County here. The predatory Boyd does what he does
:48:47. > :48:53.best. Today was a real kick in the teeth for us because we deserved,
:48:54. > :48:56.with the amount of the game we had, we deserved more, but we've also got
:48:57. > :49:00.to show the quality when we get into those areas and punish teams.
:49:01. > :49:05.Equally Cod Army our concentration levels, which for long periods of
:49:06. > :49:09.time is in the game were very good and we defended stoutly but the
:49:10. > :49:12.goals we are giving away our criminal, really poor. It's a
:49:13. > :49:19.fantastic result for us, for the players, the way they dug in. The
:49:20. > :49:23.second half, Ross County had probably the better half chances,
:49:24. > :49:28.hit the bar a couple of times. But we had a game plan, stuck to the
:49:29. > :49:31.game plan, and I felt it worked today. A really good win for
:49:32. > :49:38.Kilmarnock and Stephen Kris Boyd breaking records again. Yes, what
:49:39. > :49:41.can you say? He was born to score goals. That's 100 goals for two
:49:42. > :49:44.different clubs, the first player to do that in Scottish football. It's a
:49:45. > :49:49.phenomenal record from a player who has had an outstanding career. Lee
:49:50. > :49:53.McCulloch is in a good position to potentially get the job full-time
:49:54. > :49:57.and he recognises how influential Chris Boyd is to the Kilmarnock
:49:58. > :50:05.side. I think he actually said that Kris Boyd was worth his weight in
:50:06. > :50:09.gold after. That's a lot of gold! In all seriousness, he will be
:50:10. > :50:13.delighted to have a guy of Chris Boyd's type in the side because of
:50:14. > :50:17.the looking to get in the top six, which is realistic, having someone
:50:18. > :50:21.who is capable of scoring goals is a big positive. Is for Ross County,
:50:22. > :50:26.just three points above the play-off spots. Should they be doing better?
:50:27. > :50:30.They should. They've underachieved. Maybe this at the bar too high last
:50:31. > :50:34.year and they haven't got anywhere near that with the budget they have,
:50:35. > :50:36.they should be in the top six. They lose too many sloppy goals. The
:50:37. > :50:49.goals they lose our poor. Yesterday, for
:50:50. > :50:52.large spells in the game, they were on top. You spoke about this time
:50:53. > :50:54.last year they won the League Cup. Only Hamilton have picked up fewer
:50:55. > :50:57.points since then in the league. That's not good enough for Ross
:50:58. > :51:00.County. Budget, top six, and I look at the quality of the squad and they
:51:01. > :51:02.should be challenging to get in the top six, but they are languishing at
:51:03. > :51:05.the bottom and it's worrying times for Ross County. I think Jim
:51:06. > :51:08.McIntyre, the management and structure, recognise with what they
:51:09. > :51:11.have got they should be doing better. OK.
:51:12. > :51:12.There was disappointment for Partick Thistle last
:51:13. > :51:15.weekend, as they bowed out of the Scottish Cup at Aberdeen.
:51:16. > :51:17.But they'd won their last four games.
:51:18. > :51:19.They took on bottom of the table Inverness Caley Thistle.
:51:20. > :51:33.Partick Thistle changed to a back four. Danny Divine is injured.
:51:34. > :51:37.Stephen Lawless is back in the midfield.
:51:38. > :51:49.There's a three-man central defence. Draper is suspended. Henri Anier
:51:50. > :51:53.start. There's been three league wins in a row without conceding a
:51:54. > :52:00.goal. They are on the front foot early. Warren. Warren dispossessed
:52:01. > :52:05.by Lawless. Here's Callum Booth, in towards Dillon. Edwards with a
:52:06. > :52:17.follow-up come busting an over the top. -- blasting it over the top.
:52:18. > :52:30.Lindsay's head flick. Vigurs gets it out. Only as far as Edwards again.
:52:31. > :52:42.Battling hard. Players are appealing for a penalty. Warren. High
:52:43. > :52:48.delivery, finds Henri Anier. It's Henri Anier and Inverness take the
:52:49. > :52:58.lead, through Henri Anier. Or do they? They're flag is up. It's
:52:59. > :53:05.offside. Given against Billy McKay. Is he in line of sight with the
:53:06. > :53:13.goalkeeper interfering with play? It won't count. Inverness have only
:53:14. > :53:20.picked up one away league win this season, that was at Motherwell, back
:53:21. > :53:25.in October. Here's Doolan. Well, a fingertip save their bike Owain Fon
:53:26. > :53:41.Williams. Turning round the post. Getting away from Raven. He's done
:53:42. > :53:49.well. Warren knocks it away, only as far as Erskine. Here's proof. Wood
:53:50. > :53:55.-- here is booze. The pressure is on Inverness Cal Edison. Doolan knocks
:53:56. > :54:01.it in and Khalidiya Sillari in front after 56 minutes. It's Kris Doolan's
:54:02. > :54:06.tenth goal of the season, his fourth in his last five games. It was
:54:07. > :54:15.Edwards with the assist. Doolan with the finish, for his 99th goal for
:54:16. > :54:22.Partick Thistle. Doolan. Erskine, and need 1-2. Erskine again.
:54:23. > :54:27.Brilliant save by Owain Fon Williams. Almost an own goal.
:54:28. > :54:44.Excellent reactions. Raven, working a short corner with
:54:45. > :54:59.Tansey. Sony gets his hands to it. -- Kearney. Erskine, who has a man
:55:00. > :55:04.in the middle. Good breaking flavour by the Glasgow side. -- good
:55:05. > :55:08.breaking play by the Glasgow side but the effort was straight at the
:55:09. > :55:15.keeper. We are well into stoppage time now. Is there one last chance?
:55:16. > :55:21.King with the delivery. It's Warren and Inverness have earned a point,
:55:22. > :55:27.and it could prove vital in their battle to avoid relegation, in the
:55:28. > :55:35.second minute of stoppage time. Gary Warren claims his third goal of the
:55:36. > :55:39.season. In the driving seat with ten seconds to go, we have to stop the
:55:40. > :55:43.ball going in the box. It was disappointing. We deserved the three
:55:44. > :55:49.points, with the overall play. We made a couple of changes. It's a
:55:50. > :55:53.huge one today, a very close game. We played against a top four side
:55:54. > :55:57.today, they are excellent team, strong, aggressive, they can pass
:55:58. > :56:03.the ball. They have goal-scorers. It's a big point. Interesting
:56:04. > :56:06.comments from Richie Foran, as always, very late goal for Inverness
:56:07. > :56:10.Cal a Thistle. It could be an important goal in the final
:56:11. > :56:14.equation. And a disallowed goal? Is the correct decision. You can see
:56:15. > :56:20.Billy McKay gets in the way when the shop comes in from -- when the shot
:56:21. > :56:28.comes in from Henri Anier. It's the correct decision. The goalkeeper has
:56:29. > :56:31.to do well. He is impeded there. It's the correct decision. The
:56:32. > :56:35.officials have done well to call that right. What did you make a
:56:36. > :56:41.Richie Foran's comments describing this all as a top four side? They've
:56:42. > :56:45.been honoured fantastic run but I don't think they've been in the top
:56:46. > :56:50.four this season, there's no doubt, they haven't. It's a bit of a crazy
:56:51. > :56:54.comment. As you just said, that is potentially a really big point for
:56:55. > :56:58.Inverness, because it's very tight at the bottom and every point, ten
:56:59. > :57:02.seconds from the end, it will feel like a victory to them. They've come
:57:03. > :57:07.through a tough spell of fixtures. They will feel they are one point
