Good afternoon and welcome to the results show. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
Not even the top division's winter shutdown can shut us up. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
We have reporters at all of today's Championship matches bringing us | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
We also have two of the nation's most eminent championship-ologists | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
in the studio to educate, inform and entertain. | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
They are Craig Paterson and Alan Preston. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
Let's find out what's happening, shall we? | :00:39. | :00:50. | |
Dumbarton are at home to the championship leaders, Hibernian. | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
Over to Richard Wilson. The first half, the goal from Kris Commons was | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
in front of Dumbarton but they are plucky homicide. 1-0. Tannadice, | :01:04. | :01:10. | |
Dundee United are at home to Queen of the South. Brian McLaughlin is | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
there. They head through Marie after four minutes but Queen of the South | :01:17. | :01:25. | |
are at three - one. They look -- Dundee United look to end at three | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
match losing run. Mid-table Dunfermline at all to St Mirren. A | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
nice day for Gary MacKenzie, he conceded a careless penalty, Kallum | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Higginbotham converting to give Dunfermline and half-time lead. | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
McKenzie made amends with a thumping header in the first minute after the | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
interval. Fourth against ninth place, John Barnes watching Falkirk | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
and Ayr United. Gary Harkins giving Ayr United the lead in the 24th | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
minute but after Falkirk had a penalty save, the effort from John | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
Baird from the 12 yard mark turned away from Fleming. 1-1. Charlie Mann | :02:04. | :02:15. | |
is watching Morton against Raith Rovers. The long unbeaten run for | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
Morton looks like being extended. 2-0 against Raith Rovers. Forbes | :02:24. | :02:33. | |
with the first and 2-0 up on 67 minutes thanks to Cairney. Let us | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
work our way down the country. Hibernian, looking good? Kris | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
Commons, this could be his last goal? His emergency loan deal runs | :02:46. | :02:52. | |
out tomorrow? Great goal against Falkirk. A couple of weeks ago. The | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
top of -- type of player who can win this championship. The fans will | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
hope we can stay until the end of the season. He followed that with a | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
good win against Dundee. It is important they don't slip up today. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
There were no what is happening at Tannadice. If Hibs when they could | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
find themselves nicely clear at the top of the table. Dundee is | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
struggling. Queen of the South will get all three points. Also, great | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
result for Gary Naismith and Queen of the South, winning last week | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
against St Mirren, Tannadice is a tough place to go, two signings in | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
the January window and they have scored today. A disastrous run for | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
United, three defeats in a row. Can they kick on and hang on to the | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
coat-tails of Hibernian? It doesn't look like it. Modern, by contrast, | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
our glorious run and on course for another win today? That would draw | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
them to within 34, just down four points behind United with a game in | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
hand important. They are the team on the rise, it has been going on for | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
months, losing just one out of 12 today, unbeaten at home, Morton, I | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
think people will find them quite strongly. They have been struggling | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
a little bit. A lot of draws, very few wins. Martin looked likely to | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
take all three points. And Jim Duffy's Mendel put another three | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
points on the board and make it very interesting. And they will pull away | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
from Falkirk. It would stay the same. Falkirk last week against | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
Raith Rovers but very good. 4-1. Still some time to go. They can get | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
back in there. But a draw at home at this moment is not good enough, they | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
need to get up there and maintain that run and get up with Dundee | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
United, getting up with Morton, they need to push up. Draws at home, not | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
good enough. Ayr United need some points? Try to get away from St | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
Mirren? They need as much distance between themselves and St Mirren but | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
also put pressure on the clubs above. On the last ten games, five | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
defeats and five draws, they are picking up a few points but they | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
really need to win, they got the lead today and could not hang onto | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
that. Playing away to Falkirk? Falkirk on a good team at home, | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
great point for Ayr United, St Mirren looked like picking up | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
something. Tentatively. They have not lost any ground. Their United | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
have to look ahead and not behind. not lost any ground. Their United | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
St Mirren away to Dunfermline would be a great return given the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
fantastic form Dunfermline have been in. They are the in form team in the | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
division? Scoring a lot of goals. St Mirren, they looked like turning | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
things around, a couple of wins and a draw but last week was | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
disappointing against Queen of the South, going down. The manager | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
having the altercation with the fans. It wasn't what the day that | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
they take something but Dunfermline are not good run and they will be | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
chasing the wind. St Mirren would settle for one point. Let is kept | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
reporters grafting again. More detailed accounts of what is | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
happening. Richard Wilson is watching Dumbarton against | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
Hibernian? Hard work for Hibs today, Dumbarton have worked hard and | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
created a number of chances. The only moment of quality delivered the | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
only goal, as early as the 15th minute. The cross from Humphrey | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
headed into the penalty area and a Kris Commons carefully steered | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
volley into the corner of the net. Since then, Hibs have had to work | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
hard defensively. Last-ditch tackles and blocks, Laidlaw had to save from | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
Lewis Vaughan and Thompson in the first-half and the second he had to | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
rush off the line. Captain David Gray had to head the ball from the | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
goal-line as well. Hibs to dig in if they are to keep control of this but | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
it is still 1-0. Tannadice and we can hear from Brian, watching Dundee | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
United against Queen of the South. Queens on course? They certainly | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
are, 3-1. They could have been so different for United, taking the | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
lead after four minutes with a wonderful goal, Simon Murray, | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
recalled to the side this afternoon, hitting the ball over Dowie and into | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
the right back of the net. Huge set off for the visitors whenever the | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
shirt of Thomas Nicholson appeared to be targeted by Dowie. It was | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
missed by the officials, to the dismay of home support. They took | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
advantage through Stephen dobby. His 18th goal of the season and seven | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
minutes into the second-half, Dobbie providing the wonderful reverse pass | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
into the path of Thompson, who went between the legs of Bell. Wonderful | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
third goal, Thomas, 25 yards out, into the roof of the net. The Queens | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
fans are singing here at Tannadice this afternoon. 30 minutes of the | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
second-half and it is 3-1. Who is singing at East End Park? Davey can | :08:20. | :08:29. | |
tell us. 1-1. You can see where the problems stem from, they looked | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
vulnerable every time Dunfermline get at them. They have kept one | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
clean sheet all season and that was against freefalling Raith Rovers. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
They conceded a careless one, Gary MacKenzie, it looked like he had | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
conceded a penalty earlier for that foul on Moffat. And he did not get | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
away with that in the second time. The penalty kick dispatched behind | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Jamie Langfield. Recalled because of an injury to Scott Gallaher. He has | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
really turned the clock back with a wonderful save in the second-half to | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
keep scoreline level to deny Nicky Clark. Gary MacKenzie then redeemed | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
himself, but the header against the post from the Stephen Mallon corner. | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
And within seconds of the restart, another thumping header from the | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
same source, the goalkeeper saved. Some encouragement from the way they | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
are a shrug of the on loan striker Rory Loy has been playing. And the | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
young midfielder on loan from Aberdeen, Craig story. Signs of | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
encouragement but they will have to hold out for this Dunfermline | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
onslaught for the last few minutes. Queen of the South heading for three | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
points at Tannadice? Debbie Knox. I said they wear. They only need 3-2. | :09:54. | :10:01. | |
Wonderful strike by Scott Fraser, it was a lost cause chased by the | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
substitute. Volley from 12 yards out, Robinson rooted to the | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
goal-line. 12 minutes left and it is 3-2. Falkirk Stadium, taking on Ayr | :10:16. | :10:25. | |
United. John Barnes? Still 1-1. 31 minutes played in the second half. | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Falkirk went behind in the 24th minute. Courtesy of a goal from Gary | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
Harkins. Hesitation in the Falkirk defence, Harkins that and he blasted | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
that into net. Falkirk Spring into action. There was a volley wide of | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
the white hand post and in stoppage time at the end of the first half, | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Falkirk awarded a penalty. McHugh bundle to the ground by McKenna. The | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
spot kick turned around the right-hand post by Greg Fleming. | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
From the corner, Mark Kerr swinging that in. And a brilliant header into | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
the back of the net from Grant. Not many clear-cut chances in the second | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
period. A couple of efforts have gone close from Nisbet. Another | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
curling shot wide of the left-hand post. The latest scoreline, 1-1. | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
curling shot wide of the left-hand two goals with Morton against Raith | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Rovers. Charlie? Two goals for the home side, Morton have not been | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
unbeaten in repeating here since March last year. And that team was | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Raith Rovers. But no sign of that happening this afternoon. Forbes | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
putting the home side in front. He's always dangerous. Cutting in from | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
the right-hand side. Short with left foot. It looked like he was aiming | :11:57. | :12:04. | |
for Fleming. It ended up in the back of the net to put the home side one | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
and Forbes scoring his latest. Mike Russell created another, running | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
down the left-hand side, good cross into the box and Cairney on his | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
debut for Morton heading the ball past the goalkeeper for his fifth | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
goal of the season. Four of them for St Mirren earlier on. Raith Rovers | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
have not won since October. That will not change. Bold prediction | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
from Charlie. You will be delighted to hear Richard say it is hard work | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
for Hibs? Hanging on four points? They find it tough at Dumbarton in | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
the past but they are a quality side and those signings. With Commons. | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
And the winner from Preston, and those signings. With Commons. | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
Humphrey. Out never sent but taken off today. That will be a great | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
result. In the changing room, if they find at Dundee are losing and | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
end up losing the points, that would be atrophied day of work for Neil | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
Lennon. United not out of this at Tannadice but looking at the scorers | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
for Queens, you have Thomas and Thompson, two players that Gary | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Naismith has brought in. Last week John Rankin was outstanding. He has | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
manoeuvred well in the transfer market? I like Gary Naismith, every | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
time you hear him, working for the BBC, really knowledgeable, really | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
keen and wanted a bigger job. At least five, working away but some | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Tansey had to keep playing himself. He didn't have any more players. He | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
is playing with a club that has a squad, he is allowed to spend money | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
on wages, bring in some loan players, great result last week and | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
they can follow it up with another three points, that gives them | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
something to build upon. Dunfermline and St Mirren... Higginbotham, that | :13:49. | :13:55. | |
penalty takes some bravery? Two in the space of a minute earlier in the | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
season? More penalties at home than any other side in Britain. He scored | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
today and to give St Mirren credit, they pulled this off at home last | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
week, Dunfermline are flying just nine. If they can something, good | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
result. They have to go on a run of games. You don't want them slipping | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
away and being isolated at the bottom, if St Mirren go down again | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
into division one, what a disaster for them. Falkirk and Ayr United, | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
Peter Grant on the scoresheet? You would extolling the virtues of | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
camera earlier? Island defenders who want to defend. They are going to | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
play the ball if they can. They have to clear lines and when those | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
headers and if you can add an odd goal he run there, going up set | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
pieces, decent ball into the box, brave and determined, he has got | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
pieces, decent ball into the box, Falkirk back. Another team, the last | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
six games, two wins, two draws, two defeats, Falkirk need to start | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
getting it together. Peter says the guys have to leave before they can | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
get any strength? So many managers find themselves in that position, | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
for somebody to come in, a piece of the jigsaw has to move away and you | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
replace them because that frees up the wages. Very few teams in the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
transfer window are spending any money on transfer fees. It is | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
strictly on loan players. Jordan Howe find a square peg for a square | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
hole with Cairney coming from St Mirren. He is up to third place | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
Morton, joining them and banging in the goal on his debut. That is what | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
strikers are all about, it is great he has done that again. A square peg | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
in a square hole was Jim Duffy. Every week we go on about this. What | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
a job. He would be rivalling Brendan Rodgers for manager of the? | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
Absolutely. If Brendan Rodgers wins the trouble, that would be that. Jim | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
Duffy at Morton, what he is doing is fantastic and they believe they can | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
catch Dundee United. The game in hand at Raith Rovers, can they get | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
up into second place? That would be unbelievable. If they keep | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
expanding, he will get Morton into the cup? The first season in the | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
championship under him and they are up there, looking like play-off | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
qualifiers. They have started to build last season, the only team to | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
win at Easter Road, one of only two teams that took anything from Ibrox | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
against Rangers last season so you know they were capable but | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
consistency was not there and another manager he knows the league | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
and what kind of players to add and all of a sudden you bringing three | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
of them in the right places and the draw started turn into winning and | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
they are on a magnificent run. Another three points today. A lovely | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
position. If you look at what Jim Duffy has done, terrific. | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
They have a cushion there, five points between them and Ayr United | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
in the relegation play-offs. It's worrying. It is worrying. They | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
brought in Stevenson and Hardy to bolster the squad and give them | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
freshness. I watched them last week. They were 1-0 up. Stevenson got an | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
injured. They play Hearts in the Cup, that will be a big thing, him | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
ex-Hearts manager. It it is a big thing. They need to get their league | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
form sorted out. They are slipping down the league. If the likes of Ayr | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
United and Dumbarton and St Mirren go on a run they could find | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
themselves in danger. Dunfermline are on this run, they are level on | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
points, they have are not far away from that relegation zone? When you | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
look at momentum, Raith's momentum is going in reverse. Dunfermline are | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
the opposite. They are winning. Because they have the confidence the | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
games can't come around quick enough. Raith Rovers are looking | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
after a decent start to the season, they are looking for more mission or | :17:56. | :17:59. | |
tactics that will bring them back to winning ways. It's not easy. The | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
squad will be thin at Raith Rovers. Not a lot to spend. They have to mix | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
and match and come up with a winning formation. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
While we're waiting for events to unfold in the Championship, | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
let's take a wee nosy at the English Premier League | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
and in particular the lunchtime kick-off pitting Tottenham Hotspur | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
Here's the story of the game from Jonathan Pearce. | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
COMMENTATOR: Tottenham 4, West Bromwich Albion 0. What a week for | :18:25. | :18:36. | |
Harry Kane. The came was over after 25 minutes. Spurs with free-flowing | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
football. After 11 minutes Eriksen made it two with a deflected shot, | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
15 minutes later. Kane had one touched on the post. Will i had a | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
goal disallowed. Cain rammed in Walker's cross and slipped home a | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
bring Alli dink threw ball to make sure of victory what the striker | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
called Tottenham's best performance of the season. West Bromwich Albion | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
didn't have a shot on target. Kane the daddy of White Hart Lane. You | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
are taking issue with the naming of Harry Cain's daughter. Ivy is a | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
lovely name. They should have called her Sugar Kane. Terrific for him. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Hat-trick today. Wonderful week for his family. Spurs are a really good | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
side. Top team. Sweet for Spurs today, that takes them into second | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
and Kane is on fire. Chelsea are having issues with their star | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
striker, maybe the title race isn't over? A good time to be in-form. | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
They are on the up and up just now. Somebody on the up and up, are they, | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
a goal Dundee United and Queen of the South? United, equalised two | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
minutes left. Ball played into the box. At the back post was Murray who | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
knocked the ball into the back of the net. Can United, who looked dead | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
and buried 10 minutes ago claw the game back. It's now 3-3. That | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
cheered you. Up a little bit. It could stop the rot. Murray is a good | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
Young player, valuable goal. Can they win it? A massive three points | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
for them. When you are 3-1 down you would settle for a point. There was | :20:33. | :20:42. | |
a bit of booing earlier. Fans are an in-patient breed, United, I was | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
speaking to Ray who said he was ahead of schedule. We are rebuilding | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
this club. Folk have to be patient? It's a new team. You look for them | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
to gel as quickly as possible. When they do and you put points on the | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
board, you think carry on. It speaks well of their character, after | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
losing the games then going 3-1 easy to pack away the tools and say we | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
will be back to it next week. It looks like they pulled up their | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
sleeves and might dig out a point or maybe more. He is handing Queen of | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
the South points before the game is done. That is what he does. The he | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
has done a wonderful job. The play-offs would be realistic. Hibs | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
are the favourites. When I saw the squad, Neil Lennon, off the back of | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
the Scottish Cup victory. If they can finish in the play-offs, I'm | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
sure they will. Hibs are budgeting to go? If they don't go up. It will | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
be serious. The Cup runs brought in money. They are playing good wages, | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
the fans are backing them, 16,000 against Dunfermline, 18,000 against | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
Dundee United they are showing ambition. Getting Chris Commons and | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
trying to keep him, things are going well at eastern Road. It's | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
full-time, another three points. Morton winning against Raith Rovers? | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
Yes. Another big result for Jim Duffy's Morton. They have been the | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
surprise package of the Championship so are far. The play-offs are | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
looking more and more a possibility. A big part has been their home form. | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
Not beaten here since March last year. Raith Rovers won that day, | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
they did not look like repeating that exercise here this afternoon. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
Two goals, one in the first half, one in the second for Morton. First | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
on 27 minutes, Ross Forbes seventh goal of the season. He is always | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
dangerous, he tried a cross shot, it evaded the goalkeeper and ended up | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
in the back of the net. Raith Rovers started the second-half way. Russell | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
with a great run down the left hand side, cross into the box, Shankland | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
made his debut for Morton and headed the second past the goalkeeper for | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
his fourth, fifth goal of the season, four of those coming for St | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
Mirren, Morton's rivals. Terrific result for Morton. They have | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
consolidated third place. They must be looking upwards from here. Thank | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
you. It's full-time at East End Park. They got their first point in | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
three attempts against St Mirren thank you to that header from | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
McKenzie at the start of the second-half. His second goal of the | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
season. Redemption for him having given away a careless penalty | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
converted by Higginbotham. He got away with a push a few minutes | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
before that. The referee wouldn't let him get away with a second one. | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
It was a confident conversion by Higginbotham. No more than | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
Dunfermline deserved at that point. Them dominated the game in terms of | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
attacking threat and St Mirren, as you would expect from a team at the | :24:11. | :24:13. | |
bottom of the division, looked vulnerable every time they were | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
attacked from pace and movement, particularly from Nicky Clarke. The | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
goalkeeper made a couple of blocks in the first half and a dazzling | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
save in the second-half from a net-bound Nicky Clarke header as | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
Dunfermline pushed forward to extend their winning run at the start of | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
the new year. The There was dogged defending by the St Mirren backline. | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
A free-kick went inches wide of the target. Clarke, two minutes into | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
stoppage-time, with a header that went past. Encouraging signs for | :24:55. | :25:02. | |
Jack Ross particularly of his on-loan midfielder, Craig Storey. | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
They are trying to get a partnership going up front which will improve | :25:09. | :25:11. | |
the more they play together. Nine points from the last seven games for | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
St Mirren, their best run of the season. They are seven points adrift | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
at the bottom. Dunfermline move into sixth place on goals scored. It | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
finished 1-1. Full-time now in Dumbarton. Over to Richard. This | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
wasn't a vintage performance from Hibs. That will make all three | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
points seem more precious for the League leaders. Commons scored in | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
the first half. Volley from inside the area,. Neil Lennon will want to | :25:44. | :25:55. | |
keep him. The goalkeeper had to make a save in the first half. Gray | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
headed off the line after the break. Smith also cleared off his line. | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
Dumbarton will wonder how they didn't equalise at the end of the | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
game. It was a hard-fought and potentially important 1-0 win for | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
Hibs at um Dumbarton. Now to Dundee United and Queen of the South. 6,156 | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
here. They received their money's worth this afternoon. A chilly | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
afternoon here at Tannadice. 3-3. Murray opened the scoring after just | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
four minutes. Lovely through ball. The shot went into the roof of the | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
goal. Queens took possession of the game. Dobbie with his 18th of the | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
season, equalising before Yeo Thomson and aened woerful strike | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
from Dominic thom mass set up Queens. They took control of the | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
game and looked set for the back-to-back wins for the first time | :26:58. | :27:09. | |
since September. However a couple of substitutions, they set up Fraser. | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
He made a volley from 12-yards out into the back of the net. With less | :27:15. | :27:24. | |
than 90 seconds left on the clock Simon Murray was alone at the back | :27:25. | :27:33. | |
post. Queens came close with a header. Fantastic game here. 3-3. | :27:34. | :27:43. | |
Fantastic game. Heartening the size of the crowd, 6,000 at that one, | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
East Can end Park. Very good. Over 10,000 | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
at these two games. United are a big club. When they are flying they will | :27:54. | :28:00. | |
get fans coming around. Dunfermline are up to six, above their local | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
rivals Raith Rovers they will come back. A lot of big clubs in that | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
division? Yes. At the start of the season the smart money was Hibs and | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
Dundee United would the next best squad. Raith had a great run. Morton | :28:16. | :28:26. | |
have being going well all season. Top two are favourites for one and | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
two, but battle for the other places. I listened to Jack Ross who | :28:30. | :28:35. | |
said, we came in and not lost any ground, but another game is gone. | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
Today is the same. That's another ground, but another game is gone. | :28:38. | :28:41. | |
game gone. They have won two games this season. Seven points adrift. | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
Equivalent of three games they have to win to overtake the teams above | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
them. He has to get players in. He needs help from the Board. He needs | :28:51. | :28:56. | |
to get new faces. Join an old face now. Full-time, John Barnes, | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
Falkirk. It's Falkirk 1, Ayr United 1 is how it finished here. Harkins | :29:04. | :29:11. | |
opened the scoring after 24 minutes. That cancelled out in stoppage-time | :29:12. | :29:14. | |
at the end of the first half by Peter grant. That came seconds after | :29:15. | :29:23. | |
Baird missed a penalty for Falkirk. Baird blasted the penalty low to the | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
goalkeeper's right. Fleming turned it around the post from the corner. | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
Grant was on the end of the delivery. In the second-half there | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
was a lack of chances for Falkirk in the early changeses. Nesbitt had a | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
couple of goods efforts which was saved and another curling effort | :29:45. | :29:55. | |
wide of the post. There were chances toward the end. A shot was blocked | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
on the line. Gallagher was up for a set-piece. He crashed a header which | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
came back off the crossbar. In the end good defensive display by Ayr | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
United, for sure. Good on the break, too. It's a couple of points dropped | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
as far as Falkirk are concerned. 1-1. Sounds like a good display from | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
as far as Falkirk are concerned. Ayr United? Great point. It really | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
is. Falkirk is a tough place to go. They train on 3G every day. It's an | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
advantage to them. I don't care what anyone says, if you are on it every | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
day, you get used to it. We have Tony Gallagher, 17, attracting a lot | :30:37. | :30:40. | |
of attention. He may go in the January window. He wants to bring in | :30:41. | :30:48. | |
another striker. They scored 19 goals. Less than one a game. Not | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
that easy? No. You look at the other teams. Dobbie will get goals, Nicky | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
Clarke will get goals. Cummings will score goal. Murray on target for | :30:59. | :31:03. | |
Dundee United. Everybody has a go to player when you need goals, Ayr | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
United need somebody like that, somebody who will get 12-18 goals. A | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
good performance and a good point. Falkirk is not an easy place to go. | :31:12. | :31:18. | |
United brought a striker in on-loan. They are after another one. You are | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
don't hold great store on the stats, United 14 shots. They scored three. | :31:23. | :31:26. | |
They are greating the chances, not sticking them away? They are. Murray | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
can hopefully do them. They need someone who will get them 15 to 20 | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
goals. Dobbie is not far from doing it at Queen of the South. If they | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
had one of them they will be up. Creating 14 chances but scoring | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
three. It's a decent ratio but they might have won it if they had a | :31:47. | :31:52. | |
descent striker. It's Scottish Cup next week, the bosses have time to | :31:53. | :31:58. | |
recruit. Who do you think... Which areas do specific teams need to | :31:59. | :31:59. | |
striken. We spoke about Campolo is if Hibs can keep Commons, | :32:00. | :32:10. | |
that would be a big statement, his long run side today. That would be | :32:11. | :32:17. | |
very big if they could keep him, that would be important. What is | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
your intuition? I think Neil Lennon... I think Celtic have got | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
31st-team players and he does not Lennon... I think Celtic have got | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
feature. We can drop into League One. Airdrieonians at home to East | :32:29. | :32:35. | |
Fife, on a good run this afternoon. Kenny Crawford was at the stadium. | :32:36. | :32:43. | |
It finished 2-2. And a better point for Airdrie and free East Fife, | :32:44. | :32:46. | |
before this match Airdrie will on the two-game winning run. Their | :32:47. | :32:51. | |
first point of the New Year, East Fife on a brilliant six-game winning | :32:52. | :32:57. | |
run in all competitions and Barry Smith's first experience of not | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
winning as the new manager. Airdrie had a great start on 26 minutes, | :33:02. | :33:05. | |
Andy Ryan scoring with a clinical finish from the far post with his | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
15th of the season. Jason Carey headed home from the corner to make | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
it 1-1. Right on the stroke of half-time. His fifth of the season. | :33:15. | :33:20. | |
They take control, the visitors, in the second half, Ross Brown meeting | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
across from Kevin Smith with a header into the bottom left-hand | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
corner. Beyond Ferguson in the Airdrie goal. It looked like East | :33:29. | :33:31. | |
Fife would get their seventh win in a row in all competitions but Jack | :33:32. | :33:36. | |
Leach, son of Scott H, popped up in the 89th minute to tuck in from the | :33:37. | :33:42. | |
near post from the cutback from Jack Mackay. 2-2. The story of that match | :33:43. | :33:49. | |
from Kenny Crawford Texas nicely to the classified results. -- takes us. | :33:50. | :37:10. | |
Let's have a look at the league tables, in the Scottish | :37:11. | :37:17. | |
Championship... Hibernian seeding of the top. Six points over Dundee. | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
Martin Offiah five behind United in third. Falkirk in fourth, despite | :37:23. | :37:29. | |
picking up one point today. At the bottom, St Mirren and Ayr United | :37:30. | :37:33. | |
picked up points. Dumbarton lost at home to Hibs. Seven Between St | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
Mirren and Ayr United. The top of League One. There was no | :37:37. | :37:47. | |
game for Livingston today. Alloa athletic lost, Airdrieonians picking | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
up the point. At the bottom, the win for Stenhousemuir over Stranraer | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
means both sides swap places. In League Two... Forfar athletic five | :37:57. | :38:03. | |
clear at the top. Elgin City going well. Berwick Rangers dropping to | :38:04. | :38:10. | |
ninth place. The top of the English Premier League. Chelsea play | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
Leicester this evening. Spurs go into second spot, Arsenal in third. | :38:18. | :38:21. | |
Liverpool play Manchester United tomorrow. Interesting stuff at the | :38:22. | :38:27. | |
bottom of the table. Swansea City at the foot of the table, level with | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
Sunderland. And Hull City, third bottom. One point better off and | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
level on points with Crystal Palace. Here comes the English championship. | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
Rathfriland Hove Albion at the top. Two clear from Newcastle United. -- | :38:46. | :38:54. | |
Brighton and Hove. At the bottom of the table, Rotherham six points | :38:55. | :38:57. | |
adrift of Wigan. Blackburn Rovers the other team in the bottom three. | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
More details of the goings on in the Premier League downside. We can | :39:04. | :39:08. | |
start at the Liberty Stadium in Wales, Swansea born at home to | :39:09. | :39:14. | |
Arsenal. Arsenal not to be outdone by Spurs on the day. As defeats go | :39:15. | :39:21. | |
Swansea, as bad as gets. Arsenal barely getting beyond third gear and | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
winning comfortably after an early wave of Swansea pressure. After | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
Olivier Giroud scored from close range, the Swansea confidence | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
drained. A little bad luck as well, Jack Cork and Kyle Naughton | :39:34. | :39:40. | |
defending. Alexis Sanchez followed the fourth and trudged off to be | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
substituted. Paul Clements might have signed up for Mission | :39:45. | :39:50. | |
Impossible. Jackie was watching West Ham against Crystal Palace. It has | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
finished three nil. Three shots on target from West Ham, three goals | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
and a hat-trick of assists. Hennessy rounded on the edge of the area. | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
Across the left found Andy Carroll with a stunning overhead kick. Ant | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
Man Cini but the ball beautifully overhead. Crystal Palace created | :40:14. | :40:22. | |
very little else and are still in freefall, just one win in 16. | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
Nothing in 54 Allardyce, he freefall, just one win in 16. | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
desperately needs reinforcements. The Stadium of Light and details of | :40:33. | :40:35. | |
Sunderland versus Stoke City from Eilidh Barbour. This game was won in | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
the first half thanks to a subsidy the first half thanks to a subsidy | :40:40. | :40:41. | |
-- commendation of clinical finishing and horrible defending. | :40:42. | :40:47. | |
Arnautovic given too much space for his first and for the second you | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
went through a static Sunderland back line and the third was a gift. | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
Maloney flapping for the cross and Crouch taking advantage. Many | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
Sunderland fans left in their droves before the half-time whistle. | :41:01. | :41:03. | |
Jermain Defoe offered light relief for those that stayed. The first | :41:04. | :41:08. | |
ever Premier League win at the Stadium of Light for Stoke. For | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
Sunderland, very little in the way of positives. They were booed off by | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
the few that remained. Impressive debut when for the new Hull manager. | :41:17. | :41:24. | |
They have beaten Bournemouth 31 and this is a huge victory for Marcus | :41:25. | :41:30. | |
over. His first Premier League game as the boss. It started terribly. | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
Thanks to be Stanislaw penalty. And a break from Fernandez and an own | :41:36. | :41:41. | |
goal from Huddlestone gives Hull City the first win in ten league | :41:42. | :41:48. | |
games. We are staying up, the home fans are singing. They are off the | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
bottom and silver has given them hope. 3-1. I will give you | :41:54. | :42:00. | |
Rotherham, it was watching Watford against Middlesbrough. The result | :42:01. | :42:04. | |
doesn't do much for either side in terms of moving away from | :42:05. | :42:05. | |
doesn't do much for either side in relegation. There were chances, one | :42:06. | :42:11. | |
ruled out for offside from Middlesbrough, Watford getting the | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
best of the second half. Tom Cleverley hit the post later on. Not | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
so memorable on the pitch but this will be remembered for the emotional | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
tributes paid to Graham Turner, whose death will be felt for some | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
time in this Watford community. -- Graham Taylor. This report is | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
interesting. Burnley versus Southampton. The story comes from | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
Damian Johnson. Joey Barton scored on his Premier League return to | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
secure Burnley's eighth win, taking them into the top half of the table. | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
Largely forgettable match before his introduction from the bench. Burnley | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
winning a free kick, 25 yards out, Barton firing past Fraser Forster. | :42:58. | :43:00. | |
Southampton looked more like to break the deadlock before that. How | :43:01. | :43:13. | |
much twice going close. -- Tanic. Burnley stay on the rise and Joey | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
Barton is back. You could not make that up! You don't have to! He has | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
gone back, into the Premier League, and he got the winner. That could be | :43:24. | :43:28. | |
so valuable for Burnley, if they can stay up, that three points could | :43:29. | :43:32. | |
keep them in the league. Burnley have taken 25 out of 26 points at | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
home. They have picked up one point on the road, but at Turf Moor, they | :43:38. | :43:44. | |
are red-hot. Only Spurs and Chelsea have better home records. I let the | :43:45. | :43:47. | |
manager, Sean Dyche, I love listening to his gravelly voice. -- | :43:48. | :43:56. | |
I like listening. He has done a wonderful job, getting relegated, | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
they stick with him and bring him back. He's doing great. He knows how | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
to cope with Joey Barton and will get the best from him. That was not | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
cough medicine in that bottle! Let shows you. He is hero at Burnley. -- | :44:11. | :44:18. | |
that shows you. He was Player of the Year, getting them into the | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
Premiership, the fans knew what they were getting. Fair play, I thought | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
he would go down south and he was at Scottish football, Mickey Mouse, he | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
has gone there and is getting on with his job. Give it time! Another | :44:33. | :44:41. | |
hero, the name of Silva being chanted. Whole wedding over | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
Bournemouth? Great result. -- Hull. Winning. They have to keep | :44:47. | :44:54. | |
Snodgrass. ?5 million, the Chinese club has also come to take him away, | :44:55. | :45:01. | |
he is such a big part of them. Winning their first two games, Hull. | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
Two from 19 but the new manager, you start off with victory and that | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
gives them hope. It draws them level on points with Crystal Palace. Who | :45:11. | :45:17. | |
are in freefall. Serious. Five games, no wins. Confidence in short | :45:18. | :45:24. | |
supply. West Ham have struggled this season, the new stadium, the | :45:25. | :45:26. | |
atmosphere is different and have not scored many goals at home and have | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
run out comfortable winners. The Hammers have got the star man on | :45:32. | :45:38. | |
strike? He has downed tools but that is a great victory today. The new | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
stadium has affected them. Such a big stadium. There is no real | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
atmosphere and they are finding this difficult but that is a wonderful | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
result for them today. It is a pity for Watford not to win today? | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
Neutrals would say. Graham Taylor, he dragged them up? Tremendous. It | :45:57. | :46:04. | |
is unfortunate, his passing. What a man. Ridiculed as England manager | :46:05. | :46:07. | |
but what a great club manager. John treated him like a brother. A | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
wonderful man. A real pity that we have lost him. I loved him, the | :46:13. | :46:18. | |
style of football, but every cup of tea, he thought goals were scored by | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
getting the ball into the opposition box and he did that as quickly as he | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
could. He had big players up front, and they actually climbed very | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
quickly. Then it turned into an international manager and the | :46:33. | :46:34. | |
tributes and they will tell you what the fans think of him. Swansea, and | :46:35. | :46:40. | |
heavy defeat? Another club, they beat Crystal Palace last week and | :46:41. | :46:46. | |
can you build on that? Back to the normal, really struggling. The | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
defensive record is the worst in the Premiership. You cannot have that. | :46:51. | :46:53. | |
But that statistic, you will be far too near the bottom. I'm not saying | :46:54. | :46:59. | |
this because not been fun but next week, I promise, will be even | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
better. Why? It is the fourth round weekend in the William Hill Scottish | :47:05. | :47:06. | |
Cup. The Premiership clubs enter weekend in the William Hill Scottish | :47:07. | :47:09. | |
competition and on the back of a two-week break, Q so memorable | :47:10. | :47:11. | |
moments. COMMENTATOR: They have beaten | :47:12. | :47:32. | |
Hamilton. It's a dream strike! Glory. Rangers have pulled off the | :47:33. | :47:42. | |
seemingly unthinkable. In goes the goal from David Gray grey. Hibs have | :47:43. | :47:47. | |
won the Scottish Cup. Cup weekend also means | :47:48. | :47:56. | |
a Saturday shift for Tune in at 10.30am on BBC One | :47:57. | :47:57. | |
Scotland next week for the best Then on Sunday we have live coverage | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
of Raith Rovers versus Hearts. Championship versus Premiership, | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
that's from 1.00pm. Highlights of all that and more | :48:07. | :48:07. | |
at 6.15pm on BBC Two. As you can see, repeated at 11. 40pm | :48:08. | :48:22. | |
as well. Gents it's one of the big Wyked in the Scottish football | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
calendar. One of the highlights. We picked out a few ties to spot. | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
Craig, we will start with this one, it involves two clubs which you | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
enjoyed great you can is sells, Rangers against Motherwell Saturday | :48:37. | :48:42. | |
12.30pm at Ibrox. Rangers are slightly the better on how they are | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
in the league. Motherwell started well. They are close games. The | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
poacher getting into the box. Not the most difficult goal they will | :48:51. | :48:55. | |
score. Rangers showed a bit of metal. They stick with their style. | :48:56. | :49:04. | |
They get the equaliser. Kenny Miller has been a revelation. Talking about | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
a new contract. I thought Kenny would have been on the bench in | :49:09. | :49:11. | |
terms of coaching. He has been worth his weight in goals to the club. | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
That was the last-minute goal to take Rangers through. I think that | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
will be a close one. It will be a really good game. What do you fancy | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
with that one? The home advantage for Rangers, they will do it. | :49:24. | :49:26. | |
Momentum will be with them. Only lost once this season at Ibrox | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
against Celtic. You can lose to Celtic anywhere. It will be a tough | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
game for Motherwell. They will set their stall out and hit Rangers on | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
the break. I expect Rangers to be too strong. This other one we | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
highlighting is two clubs you signed for. I didn't know this prior to the | :49:44. | :49:53. | |
show. I did sire with the view of going junior before I got a game I | :49:54. | :50:01. | |
signed for Hibs. My first game was 15 years. They are a difficult team | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
to get a team for. Dumbarton found it give difficult against them. They | :50:06. | :50:08. | |
knocked the Championship team out in the last round. Championship | :50:09. | :50:10. | |
knocked the Championship team out in opposition again. The Cup holders, | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
at a big stadium. A different kettle of fish. 12,000 tickets have been | :50:15. | :50:21. | |
sold. It will be a wonderful occasion. All the tickets have gone. | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
Hibs are the holders. They will want to defend their trophy if they can. | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
It will be a big ask, they are the holders, rightly. So they won the | :50:31. | :50:32. | |
Cup in unbelievable fashion last year. Last-minute goal after so many | :50:33. | :50:35. | |
years, over 100 years of waiting, they have it, they have milked it. | :50:36. | :50:41. | |
They enjoyed it. Are you enjoying it? Not at all. Good luck to them. | :50:42. | :50:47. | |
Wonderful achievement. I have a lot of Hibs fans, all my friends, they | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
are still going on. Hearts are away to Raith Rovers, we are covering | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
that live. That is intriguing as well? It is. Raith Rovers are not in | :50:56. | :51:01. | |
great form. They had three weeks off to prepare his team. That is the | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
problem I have, the last time we had a break the amounts of team from the | :51:06. | :51:11. | |
Premier League the first game back was the Scottish Cup and they got | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
knocked out. They can't be complacent. Hearts have been here | :51:18. | :51:20. | |
with their new manager. That is important. Valuable three weeks. | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
Hearts there has been more exits than in comings. They need more | :51:26. | :51:30. | |
players in. Is Raith Rovers are in a troubled vain of form? Put that | :51:31. | :51:37. | |
aside this is the Cup. Everyone is up for it. They wants Raith Rovers | :51:38. | :51:40. | |
aside this is the Cup. Everyone is to get back on track with a victory | :51:41. | :51:46. | |
in this game. The Cup can give you revenue. The further you get, more | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
money comes in. Alan and I were talking about, the last four | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
Scottish Cups, Celtic, St Johnstone, Inverness and Hibs have knocked | :51:58. | :52:00. | |
Raith Rovers out on their way to the final. Can you see surprises in the | :52:01. | :52:09. | |
fixture list? I can't. Elganv Inverness, is it a bridge too far? I | :52:10. | :52:15. | |
think it is. You would expect the bigger teams to go through. Ross | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
County v Dundee United could be close. You would expect the Premier | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
League teams to go through. Can you see any surprises in that, Craig? | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
No, not so much. I'm sure there will be somewhere. It's very difficult to | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
see. You are looking at the teams who are not going well. Accies are | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
struggling for a win. Inverness struggling for a win. They have to | :52:36. | :52:39. | |
use the last couple of weeks to get some kind of form. To get on the | :52:40. | :52:44. | |
training ground and build team spirit, these will be difficult | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
games. Morton and Falkirk looks good to me? Morton at home, they haven't | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
lost at all in the league. They are a really strong side. Falkirk away | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
from home are capable of beating anybody. I would have to say it's | :52:57. | :52:59. | |
one that will be very difficult to call. Lots to look forward to next | :53:00. | :53:01. | |
week. As for this week, | :53:02. | :53:14. | |
I'm afraid time is almost up. Let's take a quick look | :53:15. | :53:17. | |
at the results in the Oh, and don't forget Stuart and Tam | :53:18. | :53:19. | |
