:02:53. > :02:54.

:02:54. > :03:02.Samson. MacGowan goes through. The referee says penalty. If that is a

:03:02. > :03:06.penalty, Zaliukas is of. The referee goes for the back pocket.

:03:06. > :03:16.His last involvement in the match is to take down Paul McGowan. Great

:03:16. > :03:18.

:03:19. > :03:21.ball through from Kenny Maguire and -- Kenny MacLean. MacGowan takes

:03:21. > :03:31.the penalty. Am Paul McGowan equalises. His 6th goal of the

:03:31. > :04:06.

:04:06. > :04:15.season. Steven Thompson has scored. 18 minutes gone. Really good header.

:04:15. > :04:25.What a goal. He is so capable of doing things like this. Was there

:04:25. > :04:29.

:04:29. > :04:35.are push in? Nestled in the corner. What a romance this has been. Same

:04:35. > :04:45.Mirren come forward again. Thomson thinks there should be a corner.

:04:45. > :04:47.

:04:47. > :04:55.There will be a goal kick. Readies Gatt will Carroll said. Hearts have

:04:55. > :05:03.gone ahead. They had been dominated by St Mirren in the second half,

:05:03. > :05:13.but the throw-in allowed Hearts to get the ball in. Seen Mirren were

:05:13. > :05:13.

:05:13. > :05:23.shell-shocked here. -- St Mirren. Hearts press again. Hearts have the

:05:23. > :05:32.

:05:32. > :05:42.lead. He can shoot. He has! He has scored his second hat-trick for

:05:42. > :05:47.

:05:47. > :05:53.Hearts. Craig Samson warned be happy at this. -- will not be happy.

:05:53. > :06:03.Incredible game. Danny Lennon must be wondering how the score can be

:06:03. > :06:07.

:06:07. > :06:17.like this. St Mirren's frustrations continue. Stretched to ten men.

:06:17. > :06:17.

:06:17. > :06:24.Thomson could not trouble the goalkeeper. Sampson gathers. That

:06:24. > :06:30.could be a pass back. The referee says yes. He was caught after words,

:06:30. > :06:40.but it was a pass back. Hearts have a chance. Seven on the line at

:06:40. > :06:42.

:06:42. > :06:52.plaster goalkeeper. That is the 5th for Hearts at Tynecastle, despite

:06:52. > :06:53.

:06:53. > :07:02.for Hearts at Tynecastle, despite being down to ten men.

:07:02. > :07:09.Were you worried when you were 2-0 down and Salyut is it was sent off?

:07:09. > :07:13.At that moment, you think that anything can happen. -- Zaliukas.

:07:13. > :07:19.We had to change our strategy and the position on the pitch. We had

:07:19. > :07:22.to find solutions to fight for the results. It is possible it is not

:07:22. > :07:27.for the first time that happens that a team with one man down wins

:07:27. > :07:33.the game. At that moment, I was very focused and speaking with my

:07:33. > :07:39.assistant about what we do to try to change this situation for us.

:07:39. > :07:45.is that something you can practise? Being down to ten men? Of course.

:07:45. > :07:50.Sometimes we have people who cannot attend training sessions. Sometimes

:07:51. > :07:59.we try to recreate situations as a well. Readies Tatchell is a

:07:59. > :08:02.terrific player. Three strikes on his left foot from outside the

:08:02. > :08:12.his left foot from outside the penalty box. There is no doubt. He

:08:12. > :08:23.

:08:23. > :08:30.has the capacity to shoot. He is one of my maybe best players. I

:08:30. > :08:38.accept that today, of course, we have to speak about the old team,

:08:39. > :08:48.but I am pleased for him. -- the whole team. Their defensive work

:08:49. > :08:50.

:08:50. > :08:56.and the responsibility that he takes. He made a fantastic job

:08:56. > :09:02.yesterday. It is easy to see and talk about a player, but I never

:09:02. > :09:07.talk about a player, but I never liked to do that. Everybody does

:09:07. > :09:11.this job on the pitch. It is for all of the team, even those who did

:09:11. > :09:16.not play yesterday that the credit should go to. Of course, you have

:09:16. > :09:26.to speak about Rogalski tell because he scored three fantastic

:09:26. > :09:27.

:09:27. > :09:37.goals. His contract is up in a fortnight. Can you keep them for

:09:37. > :09:37.

:09:37. > :09:41.the rest of the season? Of course we want to keep him. I think he

:09:41. > :09:45.wants to stay here as well. Sometimes you can read things in

:09:45. > :09:48.the newspaper because it is someone's job to write that. But I

:09:48. > :09:52.believe he will stay with us. believe he will stay with us.

:09:52. > :09:59.You're not happy about the yellow card shown to Ian Black in the game

:09:59. > :10:06.yesterday. He tried to trap the player, didn't he? We can see the

:10:06. > :10:13.player is still playing. He does not arrive to make a fault as I

:10:13. > :10:15.think it is too much for a yellow card for that. I was angry with

:10:15. > :10:21.that because this yellow card takes Ian Black from an important game

:10:21. > :10:26.Ian Black from an important game for us, the one against Celtic.

:10:27. > :10:30.Maybe he is paying because he has some kind of reputation. But if it

:10:30. > :10:37.happens right now, that does not allow me to do my job and tried to

:10:37. > :10:41.change the situation. Try to change M? Tried to change them. I think he

:10:41. > :10:47.is improving the lot. In the last six games, he has had no yellow

:10:47. > :10:52.cards. He is focused on football. I believe he can be very useful for

:10:52. > :10:57.their national team, so why give him this reputation when I am

:10:57. > :11:04.trying to change this. It is hard for me and it is hard for him. It

:11:04. > :11:09.is unfair. I was angry with that. But the referee spoke with me and

:11:09. > :11:15.he was fantastic when he did that because I was screaming wife. I

:11:15. > :11:22.have to accept them and I respect him. But I suspect -- that I

:11:22. > :11:30.believe that was a mistake and that is hard for him -- hard for us and

:11:30. > :11:35.the team because Ian Black will miss an important game. You said he

:11:35. > :11:37.has been good in the last six games. You have had a great run of results

:11:37. > :11:40.You have had a great run of results with lots of things happening off

:11:40. > :11:49.the pitch which could be distracting you from the main thing.

:11:49. > :11:55.But look at these results. You are up to third place in the lead now.

:11:55. > :12:02.I am not too concerned about third place. I know that St Johnstone and

:12:02. > :12:10.mother well have played less games than ours. -- mother well. But I am

:12:10. > :12:20.not concerned about that. When we had problems three months ago, we

:12:20. > :12:21.

:12:21. > :12:25.were improving a lot. We beat Celtic at home. We lost against

:12:25. > :12:32.Rangers at home, but I believe we should have won that game. We

:12:32. > :12:37.played well. In that moment, the problems started to happen every

:12:37. > :12:44.day. The first impact of all of those problems was very hard to

:12:44. > :12:49.deal with. We tried to put things together and people believed that

:12:49. > :12:59.things can change in the future. So we took some time to react. Now we

:12:59. > :13:04.

:13:04. > :13:14.have the same problems, but I think Do you ever know what is going to

:13:14. > :13:17.happen next, as Hearts manager? never know. I am positive and I

:13:17. > :13:25.believe that the people managing Hearts are responsible people and

:13:25. > :13:31.they know they have to put things in place. Sometimes I read in the

:13:31. > :13:39.newspapers that lots of people are seeing it is a sad situation and

:13:39. > :13:45.this may be helps to bring people together. I cannot agree with that.

:13:45. > :13:51.The situation is bad. The way we deal with that is what makes the

:13:51. > :13:56.difference. Sometimes even that credit people want to take from us,

:13:56. > :14:05.from the group, from the players and technical staff. The people who

:14:05. > :14:09.work with us every day, it is our credit to get results. Meanwhile,

:14:09. > :14:15.we are living with these kind of problems. You can say nothing

:14:15. > :14:19.different about that. How much good the squad change do you think, by

:14:19. > :14:29.the end of January? Are you worrying about what that might mean

:14:29. > :14:29.

:14:29. > :14:36.to the squad? It is a very, very tough month. For me January is like

:14:36. > :14:44.90 days because it never ends. I believe we can lose two or three

:14:44. > :14:48.players by the end of the month. People can come with the money and

:14:48. > :14:54.we will lose the players because we need to sell and everybody knows

:14:54. > :15:01.that. We need to sell but we are not just going to give the players

:15:01. > :15:07.away. We need to sell because we need the money. The will not be

:15:07. > :15:12.giving them away for free? course, some people might think

:15:12. > :15:18.they can come in on the last day of the transfer window with a little

:15:18. > :15:26.bit of money and think they can take when they want. No chance?

:15:26. > :15:36.That's right. The player who turned down Rangers' pre-contract offer

:15:36. > :15:40.

:15:40. > :15:50.then turned out against them at its Rangers were minus their injured

:15:50. > :15:52.

:15:52. > :15:58.goalkeeper. They did have one man back after suspension. The headline

:15:58. > :16:05.man. He has been in the papers all week. He has slipped through but it

:16:06. > :16:15.is off side. That was a good run by the Spaniard. A bit too early. Well

:16:15. > :16:25.off. He finished it well, though. Davies. That has come right through

:16:25. > :16:25.

:16:25. > :16:34.to Healy. Healey scored in each of his last couple of Rangers games.

:16:34. > :16:42.He was not expecting that. Anderson lost flight of it. It goes Rangers

:16:43. > :16:50.way. Here is Aluko. Jelavic to his left, the this to his right.

:16:50. > :16:57.Jelavic! There is the breakthrough for Rangers! St Johnstone are

:16:57. > :17:04.raging. Rangers took a quick free- kick. It was Davies who took it

:17:04. > :17:10.initially. Aluko scampering forward. Jelavic is of side there, Callum

:17:10. > :17:14.Davidson playing him on. David Healy was in an offside position.

:17:14. > :17:24.It is the quickness of the free- kick that St Johnstone are not

:17:24. > :17:26.

:17:26. > :17:36.happy about. It is 1-0 to the champions. Aluko. Good skill by

:17:36. > :17:38.

:17:39. > :17:48.Aluko. Jelavic. That is Enckelman. Callum Davidson is involved. This

:17:49. > :17:49.

:17:49. > :17:59.is a good move by Aluko initially. Jelavic denied. A local having such

:17:59. > :18:02.

:18:02. > :18:07.an inconsistent game. The this. He is going to get the corner. The

:18:07. > :18:13.referee is changing his mind after originally giving an goal kick.

:18:13. > :18:23.That is off the line by Robertson. Good skill by Aluko. He is

:18:23. > :18:28.

:18:28. > :18:36.ambitious. David Robertson, there he was. Nice hat! It is Liam

:18:36. > :18:44.Craig's ball. It is then! And out of nothing! St Johnstone are back

:18:44. > :18:54.in the game. Ocker Mecca From B Liam Craig cross turned end to his

:18:54. > :19:22.

:19:22. > :19:27.own net by the USA international Aluko. Healey. That is Winkleman.

:19:27. > :19:37.Wallace did not go anywhere it Hearts. Had he done so, Rangers

:19:37. > :19:41.

:19:41. > :19:47.could have been back where it hurts. It is a free-kick to Rangers. I

:19:47. > :19:54.challenge on Jelavic. McCoist knows that Rangers cannot afford to drop

:19:54. > :20:04.any more points. Jelavic is the air! Rangers are back in front left

:20:04. > :20:05.

:20:05. > :20:15.tend to goal. What a save it was from England to be fair but he

:20:15. > :20:22.

:20:22. > :20:29.The Rangers substitute. This is for Jelavic. Shouts for a penalty, but

:20:29. > :20:39.he has not getting an. Blocked by Craig. Mackie will clear. No spot-

:20:39. > :20:40.

:20:40. > :20:43.kick, says the referee. Davies. Worth the effort. That would have

:20:43. > :20:51.made the points absolutely safe, if made the points absolutely safe, if

:20:51. > :20:55.they are not already. Rangers were 15 points ahead of

:20:55. > :21:00.Celtic in early November, now they are two points behind. Are you

:21:00. > :21:10.surprised by the big change at the top of the table? It is not normal

:21:10. > :21:11.

:21:11. > :21:21.to lose such a big difference and so quickly. Rangers have lost that

:21:21. > :21:22.

:21:22. > :21:31.advantage from Celtic. They have lost such an influential player in

:21:31. > :21:41.Steven Naismith. He plays very well. Also, he has a special spirit which

:21:41. > :21:41.

:21:41. > :21:43.he shares with his team mates. I think it was a great loss for them.

:21:43. > :21:48.The St Johnstone manager was not The St Johnstone manager was not

:21:48. > :21:52.too happy about the first goal for Rangers. He reckoned that the free

:21:52. > :21:57.kick was taken from the wrong place and the referee should have called

:21:57. > :22:03.it back. What do you think? First of all, I should say that I don't

:22:03. > :22:12.like to do that. The referee has to take decisions in the moment. And

:22:12. > :22:18.we sit here and watch the replay, it is easy for us. It is in front

:22:18. > :22:25.of them. He has control of everything. I think the players

:22:25. > :22:28.have lost their focus in that moment. Then the lost a goal.

:22:28. > :22:32.Jelavic scored both goals for Rangers yesterday. How important is

:22:32. > :22:41.Rangers yesterday. How important is it that they keep them? The very

:22:41. > :22:51.important. A team that wants to fight for titles should not lose

:22:51. > :22:51.

:22:51. > :22:55.players like Jimmy Smith or Jelavic. -- players like Steven Naismith or

:22:55. > :23:02.Jelavic. A were the lucky that they did not have a player sent off

:23:02. > :23:11.did not have a player sent off yesterday? Did this look like

:23:11. > :23:14.another yellow card for obstruction? Like I say, it is

:23:14. > :23:19.unfair to the referee to make these kinds of analysis. But compared to

:23:19. > :23:29.the other one he had before, I think this one is worse than the

:23:29. > :23:36.

:23:36. > :23:39.other. If he had a yellow card last It was not exactly a relegation

:23:39. > :23:45.eliminator at East End Park yesterday but there was certainly

:23:45. > :23:52.the potential to make a difference in the drop zone. It was shaping up

:23:52. > :23:56.to be a straight fight between the two teams to escape relegation.

:23:56. > :24:06.Yesterday's Head to Head was high stakes. Alastair Lamont has the

:24:06. > :24:07.

:24:07. > :24:17.highlights. Joe Cardle will be the man to put this one into the

:24:17. > :24:20.

:24:20. > :24:30.Hibernian box. The keeper is beaten! Dunfermline have the lead!

:24:30. > :24:30.

:24:30. > :24:38.The Hibs defence stood and watched. Jim MacIntyre will be delighted.

:24:38. > :24:48.Martin Hardie Corals one. Brown hurled himself to be left to keep

:24:48. > :24:54.

:24:54. > :25:00.that one out. -- curls one. A good block there. Griffiths! And it is

:25:00. > :25:08.an equaliser for Hibernian. Leigh Griffiths with his 6th goal of the

:25:08. > :25:18.season. That might have confused the defender. Leigh Griffiths

:25:18. > :25:18.

:25:18. > :25:28.fairly a rifle this one past Ian Turner. -- rifled. Barrow man goes

:25:28. > :25:34.

:25:34. > :25:44.down. He felt he was shoved the air. -- shove there. This man has shown

:25:44. > :25:54.good energy throughout. He takes on the short, that is a good effort. -

:25:54. > :25:54.

:25:54. > :26:03.- the shot. Griffiths with a neat turn. He did not really get hold of

:26:03. > :26:09.that shot but it is good skill. He has looked lively throughout.

:26:09. > :26:19.Cardle will keep at one end. He goes for the shot when he might

:26:19. > :26:23.

:26:23. > :26:31.have been better served putting in across. -- a cross. It is bowled

:26:31. > :26:40.out to Callum Booth. Griffiths for Garry O'Connor. And it is Garry

:26:40. > :26:44.O'Connor with a 12th goal of the season. Lovely link up play between

:26:44. > :26:54.Griffiths in the corner and no chance for Turner to keep that one

:26:54. > :27:01.

:27:01. > :27:08.out. Hibs have turned around here. That man was completely unmarked.

:27:08. > :27:18.Fortunately for Hibs they had a defender on the line to turn it

:27:18. > :27:20.

:27:20. > :27:28.away. Willis took Buchanan at the back post and it is an equaliser.

:27:28. > :27:33.It is Liam McCarron the substitute. Dunfermline have plugged away and

:27:33. > :27:43.they have earned that second goal this afternoon. It is all to play

:27:43. > :27:44.

:27:44. > :27:50.for at East End Park. A lovely cool finish from Buchanan. How will Hibs

:27:50. > :27:57.respond to the loss of that equaliser? Here is Griffiths. The

:27:57. > :28:03.shot is away and it has gone past Ian Turner. A disaster for the

:28:03. > :28:13.Dunfermline goalkeeper. A second goal of the afternoon for Griffiths.

:28:13. > :28:23.Hibs immediately respond to take the lead once more. Can Dunfermline

:28:23. > :28:31.

:28:31. > :28:37.somehow clawed their way back into the game? -- clot their way -- claw.

:28:37. > :28:42.Hibs looking for what would surely be at teller 4th goal. Garry

:28:42. > :28:49.O'Connor may well be the man to provide it. He is up against Potter.

:28:49. > :28:56.He goes down in a heap and he is going to be booked for that. Potter

:28:56. > :29:06.leaves his leg trailing. He did go down rather dramatically, I am not

:29:06. > :29:09.

:29:09. > :29:19.sure that did him any favours. That was a big win for Hibs, I know that

:29:19. > :29:25.might not be great for anyone from Hearts? I do not have enemies in

:29:25. > :29:35.football. It is a sport so everybody should be in it to win

:29:35. > :29:37.

:29:37. > :29:45.but we respect our opponents. I want Hibs to be a strong side.

:29:45. > :29:53.it help Hearts F Hibs are a strong side? We want to beat them but when

:29:53. > :29:58.we play against them we do not want them to be weak. We want to beat

:29:58. > :30:08.them because we are stronger and better but I think Hibs is a good

:30:08. > :30:11.

:30:11. > :30:21.team. Hibs have good players. and rivalry is an important thing?

:30:21. > :30:21.

:30:21. > :30:29.Of course. It is so important. The Old Firm, the rivalry between us

:30:29. > :30:34.and Hibs. Aberdeen and Dundee, it is fantastic and people enjoy this.

:30:35. > :30:44.Aberdeen at home to Kilmarnock, Jonathan Sutherland can talk us

:30:44. > :30:50.through it. Let's be honest, this was not a classic at Pittodrie.

:30:50. > :30:59.Kilmarnock had the edge in terms of chances. This shot was just guided

:30:59. > :31:08.over the goalkeeper. The creativity on show resided mainly with the

:31:08. > :31:13.away side. This handling was not pristine. Not the greatest

:31:13. > :31:20.defending from the new Aberdeen club captain. Aberdeen were looking

:31:20. > :31:30.to continue and up turn in club fortunes. Into the second half and

:31:30. > :31:31.

:31:31. > :31:41.Kilmarnock continued to look the more likely. This man has been

:31:41. > :31:49.racking up the goals of late and he almost managed to continue that

:31:49. > :31:55.here. With two goals from his last four games he was clearly confident.

:31:55. > :32:03.Aberdeen almost scored thanks to away would header from this man.

:32:03. > :32:12.But the keeper was alert to the danger. The more clear cut chances

:32:12. > :32:19.were coming Kilmarnock's way. This perfect pass did not lead to a

:32:19. > :32:29.perfect shot. Not the most perfect game of all time. 0-0 the final

:32:29. > :32:30.

:32:30. > :32:40.Before the game, minutes signed -- and minutes' silence for Bill

:32:40. > :32:45.

:32:45. > :32:50.Dickie could died on Tuesday. -- Sometimes all at effort to keep the

:32:51. > :33:00.ball in is not worth it. Omar Daley took full advantage here. Ryan

:33:01. > :33:06.

:33:06. > :33:16.Esson made the save. From Tom Tay Lee's corner, Ryan SM Cos some of

:33:16. > :33:19.

:33:19. > :33:24.his own problems. However, the ball ended up over the bar. Next up, a

:33:24. > :33:31.moment of possible embarrassment for this defender. Calls for a

:33:31. > :33:41.handball. The Spanish defender remains poker-faced. Johnny Hayes

:33:41. > :33:43.

:33:43. > :33:48.was the captain. He tested Darren Randolph. The average age of the

:33:48. > :33:58.Inverness players was just 22 years old. The more experienced

:33:58. > :34:01.

:34:01. > :34:09.Motherwell side... Motherwell chance their arm with another shout

:34:09. > :34:18.for handball. The fingers were pointing at Kenny Shiels a. --

:34:18. > :34:28.Gillet. The referee waved the claims away. Gregory tardy was

:34:28. > :34:38.looking for his 8th goal of the season. -- Gregory Tade. What I

:34:38. > :34:40.

:34:40. > :34:44.call this was. -- a goal. Victory call this was. -- a goal. Victory

:34:44. > :34:48.for Inverness. Motherwell slipped to 4th.

:34:49. > :34:53.As soon as you finished with the game against St Mirren yesterday,

:34:53. > :34:58.do you start thinking about Inverness next week two yes. That

:34:59. > :35:03.is the way we work. After one game, you think about the next one. We

:35:03. > :35:13.have to work a lot to get ready to go there and make a good result. It

:35:13. > :35:16.

:35:16. > :35:20.is always the same story. I have to listen to everyone who is talking

:35:20. > :35:24.these things that I can't understand. People talk about

:35:24. > :35:28.Inverness being hard and it is frozen. It is this and that. That

:35:28. > :35:34.is the first thing we have to change in terms of mentality.

:35:34. > :35:43.Playing in Inverness should be the same as playing at Tynecastle. It

:35:43. > :35:52.is one pitch, one referee, 1 ball, two teams. I believe they are a

:35:52. > :35:58.strong side. They have a team with a strong spirit. They are people

:35:58. > :36:05.who will fight for every metre of the pitch. We have to be ready for

:36:05. > :36:15.that. After that, if we are able to do that, every single game, in the

:36:15. > :36:16.

:36:16. > :36:26.end... That courage and that spirit and this philosophy should be there.

:36:26. > :36:30.

:36:30. > :36:33.and this philosophy should be there. I hope we can do that next week.

:36:33. > :36:36.Rangers' lunchtime win in Perth yesterday took them back to the top

:36:36. > :36:42.of the SPL. From 3pm, Celtic had the chance to reclaim pole position

:36:42. > :36:48.if they could win at home to Dundee United.

:36:48. > :36:58.Eight Robbie Neilson returned after injury for Dundee United. Armstrong

:36:58. > :37:04.

:37:04. > :37:11.was on the bench. Back out wide from Rankin. Good ball in. Garry

:37:11. > :37:21.Kenneth had the shot. Which produces a great shave -- a great

:37:21. > :37:32.

:37:32. > :37:40.save from the goalkeeper. A couple of chances for Dundee United. Gary

:37:40. > :37:50.Hooper! It is his 16th goal of the season. Celtic ahead after 12

:37:50. > :37:52.

:37:52. > :37:59.minutes. You had the feeling that was how this was going to end up.

:37:59. > :38:09.The shot curled past the goalkeeper. Peter Houston serving a touchline

:38:09. > :38:18.

:38:18. > :38:24.ban. Decent ball in. Safety-first from a Garry Kenneth. Short corner.

:38:24. > :38:34.United have switched off. Victor Wanyama makes it two. His third

:38:34. > :38:44.goal for Celtic, this 20-year-old. He was completely unmarked here.

:38:44. > :38:50.

:38:50. > :39:00.Two goals in four minutes. Celtic are cruising. Now Brown. Anthony

:39:00. > :39:02.

:39:02. > :39:08.Stokes! Great strike. Plenty behind that one. Their goalkeeper is happy

:39:08. > :39:14.to tat that one over the top. Missed by Samaras and Kenneth. Free

:39:14. > :39:24.kick given against what could not have been much more than and nudge

:39:24. > :39:24.

:39:24. > :39:32.from Dylan. On stalks. -- on Anthony Stokes. Early second half

:39:32. > :39:42.chance for Charlie Mulgrew. It is fumbled by the United keeper. That

:39:42. > :39:48.

:39:48. > :39:58.did not look too difficult. Uncertain hands. Samaras. Great run

:39:58. > :39:58.

:39:58. > :40:01.from Samaras. I could hit as well. Beaten away by the goalkeeper. A

:40:01. > :40:07.fierce straight from Samaras as Celtic looked to extend their

:40:07. > :40:17.advantage.And is conscious that his team needs another goal to make

:40:17. > :40:23.

:40:23. > :40:30.things safe. -- Neil Lennon is conscious. Great hit from 30 yards.

:40:30. > :40:40.A lot of movement on this away from Fraser Forster. Clipping the inside

:40:40. > :40:43.

:40:43. > :40:49.of the post. The complexion of the game changes. 2-1. Adam Matthews.

:40:49. > :40:55.Set off on our run. This looks really promising. Back for Brown!

:40:55. > :41:05.Anthony Stokes got in his way. The skipper is furious. This was a

:41:05. > :41:09.

:41:09. > :41:15.chance. All Celtic players collided. Down goes Matthews. That gives Paul

:41:15. > :41:25.Dixon a chance to get the Seine for Jon Daly! What a chance to make it

:41:25. > :41:27.

:41:27. > :41:36.2-2. Jon Daly must surely feel he should have scored here. What an

:41:36. > :41:44.opportunity to square things up. Ki Sung-Yeung. Four Matthews. There is

:41:44. > :41:47.Samaras! That could have tied things up. The diving header from

:41:47. > :41:53.Samaras. Which he could only direct Samaras. Which he could only direct

:41:53. > :41:56.straight at the goalkeeper. Celtic are top of the league. Did

:41:56. > :42:02.you look like the best squad in Scotland at the moment? At this

:42:02. > :42:08.moment, I think they deserve the position where they are. I think it

:42:08. > :42:10.is the fault of Rangers because is the fault of Rangers because

:42:10. > :42:15.they make lots of mistakes over the last few weeks. They have lost a

:42:15. > :42:22.lot of points. Celtic are playing very well. I think they deserve

:42:22. > :42:32.what they have at this moment. you like Victor Wanyama? Fantastic

:42:32. > :42:32.

:42:32. > :42:37.player. Only 20 years old. I think Celtic will win a lot of money with

:42:37. > :42:42.this young player. I guess everyone would like to find a player like

:42:42. > :42:47.this who is on the 20 years old. He is so strong. He does not play like

:42:47. > :42:54.he is 20 years old. He seems to be more mature by six years are

:42:54. > :43:00.something. He seems to have that experience. With all the power that

:43:00. > :43:06.he has, I believe Celtic has a very good player for the moment and a

:43:06. > :43:15.very good deal. Have you enjoyed your five months in Scottish

:43:15. > :43:21.football? Does it feel like five years? Absolutely. People make our

:43:21. > :43:28.problems. But we're fighting for that. I never have an easy job, so

:43:28. > :43:34.we fight. It is easy to quit and took to go home. Doing that, for me,

:43:34. > :43:44.that is for cowards. People in Edinburgh make my life very happy.

:43:44. > :43:49.We Portuguese people are always proud because we received people in

:43:49. > :43:54.our country very well. But after say the same for Scottish people. I

:43:55. > :44:02.feel very comfortable in Edinburgh. I have a lot of support. The Hearts

:44:02. > :44:05.fans are fantastic. Always behind us. I believe there will be at

:44:06. > :44:11.least 2,000 people there in Inverness supporting us. We

:44:11. > :44:15.appreciate that a lot. In a moment like this was all the troubles that

:44:15. > :44:22.we're living, all those problems, the support of our fans is so

:44:22. > :44:27.important for us. All people who work around me in that club and not

:44:27. > :44:37.even the players, but those whose names you don't even know, they

:44:37. > :44:47.make my life easier and I am very happy with that. I can say that

:44:47. > :45:08.

:45:08. > :45:11.five months for me does not feel We will have all that action for

:45:11. > :45:16.you next Sunday night at 10:45pm on BBC One. There are SPL highlights
