Celtic end a five-week wait to get Celtic end a five-week wait to get | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
:00:34. | :00:34. | ||
their hands on Scottish football's big prize. It is silver where they | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
for the champions at Celtic Park. A three-month wait ends for Rangers | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
fans as they hear from the man who's taken over the club. Two | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
headline stories to reflect on as the SPL season comes to a close. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
All the final weekend action coming up and expert analysis from Craig | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
Paterson. First the crisis at Rangers could be coming to an end. | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
So says Charles Green, the front man for an international consortium | :01:01. | :01:11. | |
:01:11. | :01:11. | ||
which has done a deal to buy the It is Etude club and the group of | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
people putting money together to take this thing forward are an | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
international group. Some are from the Middle East. We have investors | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
from Singapore, Indonesia and China. Basie the name, the reputation of | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
taking that brand and that product outside of the UK. Also, the | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
ambition to play every season in Champions League can be delivered | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
with Rangers in a properly financed and properly structured manner. And | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
really, they cannot be any other leads way you could go, take a club | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
of this reputation and of course we do not want to look back at all but | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
if this club had been correctly managed over the last ten years, | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
there would be no chance that my group could buy it but there is an | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
opportunity here to take that club forward and we have seized the | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
opportunity. We have looked at the books. We have been involved behind | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
the scenes for a long time and people have asked me a number of | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
times, how come we did not hear of your grip? Perhaps while people | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
were paraded in front of cameras, they should have spent more time | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
putting the deal together. We have already spent more time and money | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
to come into the exclusive position and this is a bid now that will sit | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
with the creditors to decide what the way forward is, God willing the | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
creditor meeting will approve it and we can take Rangers then on a | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
very firm financial footing. This club will never have debts again. | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
His plans to revive Rangers. Charles Green then took a seat at | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
McDiarmid Park to watch Rangers end their season in Perth again St | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
Johnstone. St Johnstone's bid to reach EU | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
repair League qualifiers dollars boosted by Eric Turner are Sandaza | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
or after a three-month ban. Rangers' nightmare season ended | :03:14. | :03:24. | |
:03:24. | :03:24. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :03:24. | :04:04. | |
Johnstone to apply themselves. right, the man said to be this | :04:04. | :04:14. | |
:04:14. | :04:36. | ||
Charles Gray and impassive but we will not see her too many goals -- | :04:36. | :04:46. | |
:04:46. | :05:08. | ||
Charles Green impassive but we will the very least. The Spaniard has | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
:05:18. | :05:18. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :05:18. | :06:04. | |
lead there. A great cross from Sone in planting this one past the | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:14. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :06:14. | :07:02. | |
from Rangers. Picked out so against Sandaza up. It will not | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
count. He thought he baked a goal back against his former suitors, | :07:08. | :07:18. | |
:07:18. | :07:47. | ||
putting on the Rangers shirt. Will he be at the club next season? That | :07:47. | :07:57. | |
:07:57. | :08:15. | ||
looking for another coal but it looks as if he will have to settle | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
There is a lot of hard work to be done. We are not anywhere near out | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
of the winceyette. There is a lot of work to be done for the deal to | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
be totally flinch but will obviously a step nearer that and it | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
is a step that had to happen. -- totally clinched. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
He was not love their Sheffield United as chief executive. There | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
are obviously suspicions around what he says. He sounded convincing | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
BET. Mainly because what we have lived through with Rangers. Yes, so | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
many false dawns for the club and the fans. He seems to have the | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
backing of people who apparently have money but it is like | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
everything else. His time at Sheffield United, I think he had to | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
go in, there were problems, he had to sell players. They are big | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
decisions but the fans do not like seeing good plans -- good players | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
going. You want to be positive. The last thing you want to do is come | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
in, settle things down and then sell by Allan McGregor, Steve | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
Davis... You have to encourage fans to buy season tickets. You need | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Ibrox full if you are going to stop printing money in and getting the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
club moving. It will be a difficult balancing act but the fans realise | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
the decisions will have to be made. He claims he is more than willing | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
to do it. That is the question, what sort of team will Rangers had | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
next season with the transfer embargo sticks? If their appeal | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
against it is unsuccessful. Alan McCoist needs to know now | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
because they have to plan pre- season training. Are they going to | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
go away somewhere? If you have got the under 19 stook play that is | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
pointless. Pre-season will revolve around watch quality of players he | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
has. It is important for Rangers to be in the SDLP and to be | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
competitive. -- the SPL. It is difficult for the manager to do | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
anything does now until he knows exactly what his but it is and what | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
players he will be working with. Will Sone Aluko still BA Rangers | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
player next season, we heard from the commentator. 12 poles in 19 | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
starts. The nominal. I watched him in Aberdeen and on occasion when a | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
full player put his finishing is clinical. These finishes, a lot of | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
players has put their foot through the ball and cripple the best but | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
he is the week in and week out. -- and hope for the best. He wants to | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
score goals. Anything that comes into the box, he seems to be the | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
armed -- seems to be on the end of. Sone Aluko has been a shining light | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
for Rangers and to score a hat- trick today after a difficult place | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
like McDiarmid Park is brilliant. They are hoping that Hearts win the | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Scottish Cup next weekend and they too can get into European football. | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
Ann Begg begins the problems for Steve Lomas. How do you get 13 | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
players and where you find the money to sign these kind of guys? | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Most clubs are cutting back. It will be a short summer holiday for | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
Steve Lomas. He has to get in the market quickly, try to cherry-pick | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
the right sort of players. St Johnstone have finished poorly at | :11:52. | :12:02. | |
:12:02. | :12:04. | ||
the end of the season but they Today was the day, five weeks after | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
clinching the title, that Celtic picked up their prize as champions. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
That was after they had played their last game of the season at | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
:12:20. | :12:22. | ||
home to Scottish Cup finalists, change the other seven ahead of | :12:22. | :12:32. | |
:12:32. | :12:36. | ||
finish the season playing like champions. They want to end this in | :12:36. | :12:46. | |
:12:46. | :13:13. | ||
butt goal of the season. Gary to get that out of the danger zone, | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
the keeper, didn't and that is what Gary Hooper does. Does strip the | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
manager -- Hearts struggling to cope in these early stages not | :13:27. | :13:36. | |
:13:37. | :13:48. | ||
helped by giving the ball a way as Benny eight -- 2-0. Only eight | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
:13:58. | :14:30. | ||
took Andy Webster. All in all, much did that ball move? Looks a | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
bit shocked at the opening to the game, Paulo Sergio. Not | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
:14:45. | :14:47. | ||
Celtic to go though their head. They challenge he did not need to | :14:47. | :14:57. | |
:14:57. | :15:10. | ||
make. -- a chance for a Celtic to for Celtic. They have won this game | :15:10. | :15:20. | |
:15:20. | :15:20. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :15:20. | :16:09. | |
A chance to get one back and it has gone well wide. That just about | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
sums things up for this side who sums things up for this side who | :16:13. | :16:23. | |
:16:23. | :16:23. | ||
sums things up for this side who are turning in a shadow performance. | :16:23. | :16:33. | |
Commons with the ball. It is set up, it Gary Hooper scores again. His | :16:33. | :16:43. | |
:16:43. | :16:43. | ||
50th Celtic goal in two sensational seasons. It is four on the day from | :16:43. | :16:53. | |
Gary Hooper. He rounded MacDonald and as he does he is running riot | :16:53. | :17:03. | |
:17:03. | :17:06. | ||
here. 4-0. Matthews. Samaras. It could not possibly be five, could | :17:06. | :17:16. | |
:17:16. | :17:20. | ||
it? Yes, it did! Five goals from Gary Hooper. 29 for the season. | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
Hearts are taking a heavy beating here ahead of the Scottish Cup | :17:25. | :17:35. | |
:17:35. | :17:35. | ||
final. Celtic are turning on the style. Hearts will have the full- | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
time whistle any time you fancy. That is a free-kick. I'm the Hearts | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
manager, get me out of fear, that might be his theme tune at the | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
moment. Celtic have won emphatically on the final day of | :17:54. | :18:02. | |
the SPL season. It has been a one- man show. Areas the trophy. Celtic | :18:02. | :18:09. | |
are about to take delivery of it. Five weeks after the title was | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
clenched at the Rugby Park with that 6-0 win. Just the five today. | :18:16. | :18:26. | |
:18:26. | :18:26. | ||
Neil Lennon takes the acclaim from the support. Celtic are champions. | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
17 wins in a row helped them on their way. 15 points behind in | :18:33. | :18:43. | |
early November. 20 ahead in mid-May. It is a great privilege to be the | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
manager of this football club. It is very special to me obviously. | :18:49. | :18:57. | |
Our aim was to win the title. We came so close previously and we | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
managed it this year. The supporters have been magnificent in | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
the two years I have been in charge. Today is for you. Enjoy it. | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
dead debt in style, Celtic. What an individual performance from Gary | :19:16. | :19:25. | |
Hooper. -- they did it in style. is just one of these guys who seems | :19:25. | :19:33. | |
to be in the right place at the right time. Storks and hem it were | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
a great partnership. Today Samaras and him look like they were a great | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
hearing. They just knew where to be and when to be there. The timing is | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
:19:55. | :19:56. | ||
great. He did not cost a great deal of money. He is a player to keep. | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
Southampton wanted to get hold of him. Others are going to be looking | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
for Gary Hooper as well, can Celtic hold on to him? I think they have | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
to. Having won the leak they now want to go into Europe and for that | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
they need their best players. Neil Lennon will be desperate to keep | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
them but the kind of money generated in England is hard to | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
ignore it and if somebody comes up with the right kind of offer Celtic | :20:24. | :20:34. | |
:20:34. | :20:36. | ||
might have to consider. There will be a lot of talking going on | :20:36. | :20:42. | |
between Neil Lennon and his board, are they trying to when -- build a | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
squad to win the SPL again or to go into the Champions League? As I | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
would say the Champions' League. Rangers are struggling just now but | :20:52. | :20:58. | |
if they invest just now they can put distance between the two clubs. | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
He will see this as an opportunity for Celtic to move onwards. With | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
:21:13. | :21:23. | ||
the right kind of investment money comes back end. -- back in. Was it | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
a great idea to have that back for a torn to shreds today for Hearts | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
ahead of Camden? And I do not think so. You do not want to be thumped | :21:38. | :21:45. | |
today going end to Hampden. Celtic tore them apart but the players | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
will dust themselves down and will be up for it when they meet | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
Hibernian. At fir Park today it was a meeting between Motherwell and | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
Dundee United. Both of them have qualified for Europe next season. | :22:02. | :22:12. | |
:22:12. | :22:36. | ||
Russell. That was a great move from Dundee United. Armstrong struck | :22:36. | :22:46. | |
again. He pushed it across. A save was forced from the goalkeeper but | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
:22:56. | :22:56. | ||
he only got a touch. It was poked home. Russell has got plenty of | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
pace. Off he goes. He has Armstrong in the middle. Rankin coming in. It | :23:05. | :23:13. | |
is off the post. Russell is the one causing the problems yet again. | :23:13. | :23:23. | |
:23:23. | :23:36. | ||
That was almost squeezed end. -- in. Loughgall was correct. That was | :23:36. | :23:46. | |
flying with the left foot. Searching for the equaliser. It is | :23:46. | :23:56. | |
:23:56. | :23:56. | ||
a bit lost to United this season. What son turns it behind. That was | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
a good position. I think it came off the United defender last. Dixon | :24:04. | :24:14. | |
:24:14. | :24:22. | ||
to take this one. That was a really good pet. -- hit. That is the | :24:22. | :24:32. | |
danger with Michael Higdon. He is the air using his height. Rye and | :24:32. | :24:42. | |
:24:42. | :24:49. | ||
hits this one. Again it is a decent test. -- Ryan. Tommy Hateley tries | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
:24:59. | :25:16. | ||
his luck. It is a good side. Johnny Russell moving in. United. Rankin | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:35. | ||
and delay. A great save. -- Daly. It is a decent ball through. Dixon | :25:35. | :25:45. | |
:25:45. | :26:00. | ||
is there. Robertson. Lasley. Rankin. Jennings. Another shot at goal. | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
:26:11. | :26:14. | ||
Just wide of the post. Robertson. That advance run is lovely. A | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
chance here, flicked up and it is then! It is Jon Daly. United's top | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
goal scorer scores on the final day of the SPL season to bring his | :26:29. | :26:39. | |
:26:39. | :26:40. | ||
tally to 22. It went inside and Jon Daly beat Randall. United looked | :26:40. | :26:50. | |
:26:50. | :26:52. | ||
set to take all three points. A shot! Deflected over the top. The | :26:52. | :27:01. | |
substitution has been dangerous. At his son around the back. Up with a | :27:01. | :27:11. | |
:27:11. | :27:11. | ||
left foot. He was off target. You were there today. Cut prices, 7,500 | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
there. Is that sending a message to other SPL clubs? I think it is. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
Motherwell are always good at trying these sorts of things. It | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
just shows you, people want to go to the football and they want to | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
enjoy it. I think the players sob a great atmosphere. Motherwell fans | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
were there to celebrate. Dundee United qualified for Europe. They | :27:39. | :27:49. | |
were two decent sides but the big crowd make a difference. | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
goalscorers today, Johnny Russell and Jon Daly, they are going to be | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
targets over the summer, are they not? Yes, I could not do it | :28:01. | :28:11. | |
continually as an manager. David Goodwillie, you top goal scorer. He | :28:11. | :28:18. | |
produces a side that produce good football. But they will be | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
decimated yet again. You keep finding players who can produce | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
this kind of football but with diminishing resources it is a very | :28:26. | :28:35. | |
difficult task. Peter Houston has done a really, really good job. | :28:35. | :28:40. | |
this man is going to become a media tart. They will miss them around | :28:40. | :28:50. | |
:28:50. | :28:50. | ||
the place. His leadership qualities. A lot of players you do not realise | :28:50. | :28:58. | |
what they do for the younger lads. The look so much better playing | :28:58. | :29:06. | |
with a magician. He is that kind of player, he is a voice and the | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
learned on deep park. I think he will be missed in the dressing room. | :29:10. | :29:16. | |
He played today for 79 minutes and did not look out of place at all | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
but he has just said that the aches and pains are starting to worry | :29:20. | :29:30. | |
:29:30. | :29:33. | ||
them. This chair will be available for him. Best of the bottom six | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
ended up a two-horse race. Kilmarnock at Dunfermline coming up | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
after St Mirren's match in Aberdeen. Jonathan Sutherland pulls it all | :29:39. | :29:47. | |
together. After 14 years and 69 goals this was Darren Mackie's | :29:47. | :29:56. | |
final game in an Aberdeenshire. He was denied and then was sniffing | :29:56. | :30:05. | |
around again but the keeper kept the ball. Another old time or | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
almost got his name on the scoresheet. Russell Anderson West | :30:10. | :30:18. | |
Affleck from the corner. -- with Affleck from the corner. This ball | :30:18. | :30:28. | |
:30:28. | :30:41. | ||
Emery, who fluffed it. Aberdeen do like a long throw. The ball like a | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
bouncing ball into the penalty box. It is not pretty and neither was | :30:45. | :30:53. | |
the finish from Darren Mackie. But the loyal servant has always been a | :30:53. | :30:59. | |
willing worker and it was his ball into the path of Ryan Fraser which | :30:59. | :31:02. | |
resulted in a massive deflection off Darren McGregor which Sampson | :31:02. | :31:09. | |
had to slam to save it. The ball swung the once more put a header it | :31:09. | :31:19. | |
:31:19. | :31:39. | ||
East End Park had the better of the first half and they took the lead | :31:39. | :31:46. | |
through Paul Willis in the 20th a minute. Dunfermline's freight by | :31:46. | :31:53. | |
now pretty well known but still hoping to go out on a high. -- fate. | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
But in the second half, at Kilmarnock took control. James | :31:57. | :32:05. | |
Fowler with the tenacious run. Saved by the feet of Berrada | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
Fernandez. Plenty of bluster from Kilmarnock thought Jill Jefferies | :32:10. | :32:20. | |
:32:20. | :32:34. | ||
and go to ensure it. -- 4 Jim a bit off. The but a swift move | :32:34. | :32:40. | |
down the right-hand side sorted things out for Kilmarnock. This | :32:40. | :32:48. | |
cross, or the ball -- the ball deflected and the score was now a | :32:48. | :32:54. | |
1-1. Some quick abrasive action from the referee and Kelly with a | :32:54. | :33:01. | |
smart finish. But Dunfermline were determined to exit the SPL with | :33:01. | :33:06. | |
some pride intact. David Brehme with the Cross, Andy Kirk with a | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
header and Martin Hardy with the fish. But it was rolled out for | :33:10. | :33:16. | |
offside. And then in the 89th a minute, Kilmarnock cut Dunfermline | :33:16. | :33:20. | |
opened and the right hand side and Winchester pulled the trigger to | :33:20. | :33:30. | |
:33:30. | :33:35. | ||
make it 2-1 and win the match for farming. Kilmarnock finished the | :33:35. | :33:45. | |
:33:45. | :33:47. | ||
season in seventh place. -- the Back down to the First Division | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
fought and vermin. Jim Jefferies wants to take them back up. If you | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
can keep all your good players and at some think, you can go back up. | :33:58. | :34:04. | |
That is not going to happen when your budget is slashed. If you have | :34:04. | :34:09. | |
a good squad and keep them fit and healthy you can run away with it. | :34:09. | :34:12. | |
The manager will know what is required. It is just where they he | :34:12. | :34:17. | |
has the finance. You are looking for young players like Paul Willis | :34:17. | :34:23. | |
to thrive. He scored his first SPL goal yesterday. This is the future | :34:23. | :34:33. | |
:34:33. | :34:34. | ||
for yen players. They bring talent and it says clubs a fortune. | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
Importantly for Jim Jefferies, young players means you do not have | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
to go and bring people in. If you have young lads good enough to play | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
at back level you can bring them in. And Winchester, off the bench | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
scoring the winner for Kilmarnock yesterday. Chris Johnston much | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
livelier. Ros Barber started the match. Three teenagers in the team | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
and made before Kilmarnock under Kenny Shiels bat will be the way he | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
wants to develop things as well. think he will be forced to. | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
Kilmarnock are in a similar position to Dunfermline. They do | :35:07. | :35:12. | |
not have money to spend. They will get the chance to play the game in | :35:12. | :35:21. | |
a right manner. If these lads can fit into that they will be good. | :35:21. | :35:27. | |
saw the game at petard tree. A Midge Ure bowl -- we saw the day at | :35:27. | :35:34. | |
petard tree. A miserable season for... Danny Lennon will figure | :35:34. | :35:39. | |
what could have been. 16 draws. The most in the league. He has turned | :35:39. | :35:42. | |
four are going to be to this. They would have been in the top six. | :35:42. | :35:47. | |
That is the target for St Mirren next year. Hibs' season could end | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
with silverware next weekend but their leek campaign has been | :35:50. | :36:00. | |
:36:00. | :36:08. | ||
miserable. It ended yesterday last week at him Bennion with | :36:08. | :36:18. | |
:36:18. | :36:18. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :36:18. | :37:21. | |
brought Caley Thistle this from Greg Tansey. The Scouser has | :37:21. | :37:31. | |
:37:31. | :37:43. | ||
his Hibs debut in the goal, could docketed. Inverness have a penalty | :37:43. | :37:53. | |
:37:53. | :38:09. | ||
what looks like his last appearance at the Caledonian Stadium. Good | :38:09. | :38:19. | |
:38:19. | :38:29. | ||
moment for him. Sending the keeper with this clash. The All Edinburgh | :38:29. | :38:36. | |
Cup final to come next weekend. Doherty on loan from balls. To be a | :38:36. | :38:46. | |
:38:46. | :38:52. | ||
part of their line-up, could be. -- Jerry Hayes scores what many reckon | :38:52. | :38:58. | |
was his last goal for Inverness. Lots of clubs queueing up for him. | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
Will it be a trip down to the Championship? I hope it is the SPL. | :39:03. | :39:10. | |
He makes things happen. He excites crowds. Hibs have been interested. | :39:10. | :39:14. | |
Aberdeen have been quiet. Why was speaking to Terry Butcher after the | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
game at the weekend and Khalid Thistle are now in a position | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
whereby this is what we can afford. We make the players the best offer | :39:22. | :39:27. | |
we can and because our fingers and hope they accept. Something new and | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
exciting for the SPL next season of course is the island Derby for the | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
first time at a higher level in Scottish football. It will be | :39:35. | :39:41. | |
interesting to see what kind of crowds they get. Brand-new, first | :39:41. | :39:45. | |
Times, Your biggest rivals. A lot of players who left to end the best | :39:45. | :39:55. | |
:39:55. | :39:58. | ||
and when to join Ross County coming Celtic at the top. Dundee United | :39:59. | :40:05. | |
and Hearts into Europe. Kilmarnock top of the bottom half of the table. | :40:05. | :40:12. | |
Hibs survived and Dunfermline do not. And all Edinburgh, Scottish | :40:12. | :40:16. | |
Cup final. A pretty refreshing end to the football season. It has not | :40:16. | :40:24. | |
It has created interest in the Edinburgh area like no other game | :40:24. | :40:29. | |
for a long while. It is two great rivals going head-to-head. It has | :40:29. | :40:34. | |
got absolutely everything. Hearts are the favourites. Unbeaten in the | :40:34. | :40:40. | |
last ten Edinburgh derbies. Hibs just avoided relegation. Hibs are | :40:40. | :40:44. | |
looking at the league thinking, yes, but look at the away. We have won | :40:44. | :40:50. | |
six games, Hearts had only won fault. Hibs do better on the road | :40:50. | :40:54. | |
and Hearts. Everyone is trying to work out why their team has the | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
edge but it will be down to who plays best on the day. A lot of | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
players were arrested at the weekend. They should be ready to go. | :41:01. | :41:11. | |
:41:11. | :41:12. | ||
The fans are nervous. -- a lot of players were rested. The bookies | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
did not think an all Edinburgh final was going to happen. No, the | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
smart money said Aberdeen against Celtic in the final. But Hibs | :41:20. | :41:26. | |
produced the goods on the day. Garry O'Connor and leek-growers | :41:26. | :41:36. | |
:41:36. | :41:38. | ||
fears -- Lee Griffiths responsible. There were Hibs fans who wanted to | :41:38. | :41:45. | |
play Celtic because if you lose to them it is not the same thing. The | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
clamour for tickets, everything. This game is absolutely huge. | :41:49. | :41:55. | |
Everybody is looking forward to it but fingernails will be chewed | :41:55. | :42:00. | |
Darren when this game starts because it is the biggest game that | :42:00. | :42:08. | |
I can remember. I have seen some big games between Hibs and Hearts. | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
This is the chance to go down in history as one of your club's best | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
ever teams because you beat Hearts in the final or they beat Hibs in | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
the final. It really is one to look forward to. Hearts have finished a | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
lot higher in the league than Hibs, which makes them favourites. Yes, | :42:27. | :42:31. | |
but Hibs are solid, they can make it difficult. On the day it is | :42:31. | :42:37. | |
about who plays. Can you can't the nerves? Do not get carried away. It | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
is not brave to go out and keep people on final day. It is brave to | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
get on the ball. That is it for this SPL season. This show is | :42:46. | :42:52. | |
available again on the iPlayer. We are at Hampden on Saturday for that | :42:52. | :43:02. | |
:43:02. | :43:09. | ||
The league campaign began 289 days ago and we are off and running | :43:10. | :43:18. |
