The shot is an absolute beauty. A goal of true quality. That is

understand believable. Sensational. What a strike. What a finish. Right

here, right now. This is history. Welcome to Sportscene. Four games

from yesterday, two from today and plenty of action and for Pat and

Steve to pick apart. We start in the hidings, with Celtic trying to bury

the Nou Camp nightmare against invess Cal done -- Inverness

Caledonian Thistle. Greg Tansey scored when Inverness

last beat Celtic in the Scottish Cup. Celtic look to recover from

their Barcelona humbling. In it comes and Celtic go in front.

It is Rogic and they will feel better now. Misery in Barcelona and

a lead in the Highlands after 17 minutes. A tidy finish. Really good

work by Tierney. Outside of the boot ball and Caley Thistle 0, Celtic 1.

Business resumed. King, what a goal that is.

Absolutely stunning from Billy King. That is why Ritchie Foran brought

him here. Should De Vries have kept this out? It is well hit by King. De

Vries did get a touch. But it evade him. King finds the top corner and

it is Inverness 1, Celtic 1 after 28 minutes. Draper is in on goal. A

huge chance. Down goes the No 8 who is waved back to his feet by Don

Robertson, the referee. A big decision and a big moment in the

game. McGregor was caught short. Sviatchenko right on the edge of the

box. The refer ee was in a good position. Sinclair goes himself and

scores yet again! Six domestic games, six goals for Scott Sinclair.

It was sloppy from Inverness, who had only been level for just over

five minutes. And Scott Sinclair with a lovely finish. As the

champions are back in the driving seat. Lovely finish. Opened up the

right foot. Finds the corner. And it is Inverness 1, Celtic 2.

A good save by Fon Williams. This was a decent effort from Dembele. An

equally good save. Ritchie Foran felt Sviatchenko should have been

sent off and Inverness a penalty in that first half.

Lovely play by Tierney. Another terrific save by Fon Williams. How

good is this? From the young Scotland defender.

McGregor! So very nearly 3-1. Has Fon Williams got a touch to this? If

he has, it is a hat-trick of outstanding saves in the second

half. Fon Williams for the fourth time in

this second half to keep Caley Thistle in the game. Sinclair was

looking for his second. It wasn't quite in the corner. It allowed Fon

Williams to make another save. Celtic's tenth corner of the match.

In for Sviatchenko. Hung up well by Lustig. Draper was keeping the

pressure on. Rogic. Roberts is still in and still!

Celtic just can't put this game to bed.

It was sloppy at the back from Inverness. The first block by

Meekings. Good play by McGregor. Guess who is

there again? It is a one-man mission. Owen Fon Williams is doing

well here. Clever idea by McGregor. Another chance goes abeging for

Celtic. He has had a couple of today, Tierney. He got loads behind

this. Tansey flights it in. Two minutes

left. Doran's effort just goes past. It is a corner. It is still alive

for the Highlanders. The first real attempt on goal in this second half

though. Comes from Doran. Tansey second chance. It is an

equaliser! It is Fisher. It is sensational. He strikes and might

just have given Caley Thistle an unlikely point. That is quite

amazing. Football continues to amaze.

Fon Williams holds on. The ref is allowing that to continue. Celtic

launch one final raid. The performance first half was terrific.

Second half we struggled to get the ball back. But Celtic can do that to

team. But we kept going. I said to the boys, believe it, we will get

one more chance and we did and big Alex took it. We should win that

game court fort Iaway -- comfortably. But it is always in the

balance at two one. We were disappointed not to defend the set

piece better. Frustrated, but on the back of a tough week, coming to a

tough place, if we can't take the three points, one will have to do.

Plenty of talking points, for Celtic, what a week it has been. How

would you sum up the week? The start of week against Rangers it was

joyous. That was fantastic for them and painful obviously at Barcelona.

Until the 89th minute, I think you end up saying it is not a bad week,

it is a good week. Because you weren't probably going to win in

Barcelona. OK, it is a hiding, but you weren't going to way. The way

Brendan Rodgers has reacted was sensible. They played brilliantly.

They were the best team by a country mile and look at the statistics of

possession, 65 to 35, they're unlucky not to get three points. It

started brightly for Celtic. Yes, a well taken goal. A well taken finish

and a perfect start. You're thinking they will go on and probably win

comfortably. But they allowed Inverness back into the match. An

incredible come back from Inverness. You were critical of the

goalkeeping, but a fantastic strike from Billy King. Yes, the strike is

unbelievable. Cutting inside on to his right foot. He has power and it

has everything. But the keeper does get a touch on it. He probably could

have got more on his touch. But this is poor from Celtic. Losing the

ball. This is the one they were furious about. It is a foul and it

is just outside the box and it is taken into the box. I'm not sure.

Freeze it here. I think it looks like a penalty when we did freeze it

there. Look at him there. If Draper runs straight, if his leg goes at an

angle, he has thrown his leg out looking for the hit. He throws his

right leg out F the referee sees that and thinks, wait, he has tried

to do it, there is a few players who do it. Do you think the ref got it

right. Do you know what, had I been in that position and I was watching

it there, I would have given a penalty. That is what I would have

done. From that angle, but can I see the referee's argument. Steven in

terms of Scott Sinclair, he has been a revelation in Scottish football.

We saw how important he is to Celtic. Six goals and he has scored

in every league match. Inverness back off, but a beautiful finish.

Inverness need to try and get, Meekings needs to put pressure on

the ball. But a great finish. You probably expect Celtic to see it

out. It shows how much Inverness deserve. Everyone knows if it is

2-1, you need one chance. They had a couple. They put the ball in the

box. If they have a strength that they had to use, the power and if I

seek they have got. They kept on playing to the end and showed a good

spirit. They have got to be delighted with a point. Because

Celtic were buy bia -- by a distance the better side. Celtic will be

disappointed with the defending. We talked about the week for Celtic,

how would you sum it up? A brilliant start to their week and then... A

very disappointing result in Barcelona. Today, they were good,

they deserved to win, but ultimately didn't. To Ibrox and there was only

one man making the headlines this week. # Extra, extra # Read all

about it! Joey was Barton was told by Rangers to stay away from the

club until Monday after an altercation. How would the rest of

squad get on with Ross County the visitors at Ibrox, this is how it

turned out. Ross County would Liam boys. Boyce

-- Liam Boyce. Windass. Works the one-two but up

goes the offside flag before he could tuck that past fox. He was one

of the pluses for Rangers against Celtic, no doubt about that,

Windass, back after injury. Windass on the move again. Streaking

away from Davis. He has run Fox. Back goes Paul Quinn to clear that

off the line. What a goal that would have been, had Windass been able to

apply the finishing touch. Woods, on the free kick, up went

Quinn. It is Schalk, what a save forth. Could have found themselves

in front here. Good effort Schalk, what a stop.

That is Windass. The block by Quinn, and he tries again, it is all about

Windass for Rangers at the moment. And that has taken a deflection and

flashed wide of target. Off Fraser. Holt. Locking to make up for lost

time, having been out injured. Lee Wallace looking to create, great

ball in for Taffer in. And somehow, -- Tavernier, somehow he fails to

core. Credit to Gardyne for the challenge which maybe put him off

adds he buzzing the trigger. Mackay. Works the one-two, he was

cleaned out by van der Weg's challenge. It was on the line, but

the referee seeing no infringement at all there.

Holt. And Windass. Waghorn. On to the left foot. Great save Scott Fox.

Flying across the County keeper, to deny Waghorn. Rains jers here being

continually frustrated. In for Hill, and off the line by

Martin Woods. Right place, right time to stop Hill making the

breakthrough. Back from Davis. Cleared by Fox.

Tavernier's touch. Wind adds with that change of pace. -- so elusive,

gets Yea from woosds and a great ball in and it is a thumping header,

back off the crossbar. -- Woods. From Michael O'Halloran.

Just a fraction away from getting Rangers in front. Denied by the

frame of the goal. That is Halliday. And Hill.

And Wallace. And county pressing. It is Chow, breathing down his neck

and he wins possession for Ross County. And it is Woods and it is

beaten away by Foderingham. It was a fierce strike by the Ross County

midfielder. Looking anxious as well he might,

Mark Warburton, and there is Hill. And it is another great save by Fox.

What a show of resistance this has been from Ross County.

Kranjcar. Picks out Windass. Van der Weg. And now County looking to

spring a big shock. It is Curran. And it is Tony Dingwall, and it is

into the side net. Well, Rangers have lost to Celtic, drawn with

Dundee and Hammelled on the and more dropped points here. So 0-0 it

finished. Steven, no doubt about the big story of the week. Joey Barton,

has he played his last match for Rangers? No, he will have clear the

air talks tomorrow. It has been a unique situation, I have never seen

a player suspended from a club, he speaks his mind, he is probably

taken it too far, has definitely taken it too far, he is probably

frustrated at his own performance, he can turn it round, he is a

quality player and he will play for Rangers again. The manager has faced

a few test, how big a test is this? Of his man management skills? A

massive test he has got. Look, the pressure is going to come. He is the

manager, that is what happen, you take it, there will be very deep

lows and highs a we, but he has to come out looking the strongest man,

he can't come out looking weak against Joey Barton. There is two

problem, I will chat to Joey about freedom of speech, I don't mind, I

will do that all day long, it doesn't matter, do you pose what

does matter, keep it in house. This is most important. If you don't, see

people say Sir Alex Ferguson, if you were Beckham, if you were Roy Keane,

you took it outside the group, he has to apologise fully. And so using

that logic can Warburton bring back Joey Barton, without it undermining

the manager? Exactly, it puts that point I am putting across exactly.

He can come back, it would be good to see him back, he is a very good

player but it has to be an apology, there can't be caveats, he has to

say I was out of order, I will come back and work hard. This was Ross

County's first visit to Ibrox, that I will be happy with a point? Yes,

it is brilliant. They defended ever so well, we look at them here, they

have done their homework, they were doubling up because we know how

Rangers like to overlap and underlap. But they were dogged. The

track and runner, they were making it difficult for Rangers to bring

them down. They created a lot of opportunities in the match. Here we

see it again, two players going on. Barrie McKay trying to go past, good

defending, get the blocking challenge in in the end and winning

the ball back eventually. Rangers enin the match probably created

enough chances to win three match, but you know, they didn't, and rots

country have obviously prepared for the match very well. That is the

thing. Mark Warburton, you see the players here throwing themselveses

in the way of the ball. They will come away with a point. The manager

said it was our best performance of the season yet it finished 0-0. He

is looking for positives. ? It was the first clean sheet in the league

this season. The midfield three had better chemistry, but in the end,

the Rangers fans want and demand result, as a Rangers player and

manager you are expected to win every game, they are not getting the

results now. Time for an interesting stat. You have to go back to 2010

more the last time Hearts managed a league win away to St Johnstone.

Would it be a change of Hearts this time in Perth? A big blow inform

Danny wan son hasn't made it, having scored twice in the League Cup

victory over Hearts, the more experienced Cummins coming in for

Kane, Davidson replacing Miller. Nielson hands a first start to born

son. Nicholson is restored to the line up. The latter are among the

subs as the Jam Tarts aim for the top of table. Nicholson corner which

Clark comes for. What and blocked on the line. It's a

good job Foster was there otherwise Watt would have looked like he was

putting Hearts in front here. This is Watt. He is spreading it through

for Nicholson, he has them waiting in the middle. Great save from

Clark. Rares are was waiting left-hand side

of the box and Clark justifying why he is in the team right now.

A fabulous ball by Paton. Cummins.

MacLaine is in the middle. Cummins goes down on the edge of the box,

the ref is going into his pocket. What is the decision? It is yellow

for the St Johnstone striker. And in a week where Watt had a

booking rescinded, for simulation, the referee decides this is a dive

by the Irishman Cummins. Watt, still coming. Here is Walker.

Another wonderful piece of goalkeeping by Clark. It is Walker

again. Twiets now, Clark -- twice now Clark

has not looked favourite but twice now he has pulled off a fabulous

save. Tony Watt and Don Cowie conspire over this free kick. Cowie

leaves the scene, it is Watt. It is Clark again. Kept his eye on this

free kick, Watt going for the top corner there.

Harte want to go top today. Rossi.

And that was Clark. With his fourth goal saving intervention.

They riding their luck a bit, St Johnstone. Rossi, a couple of goals

already this season, he thought he had his third again here. Again,

Clark, keeping Hearts at bay. MacLaine. He has got it to Foster,

who has three in the middle, in blue shirts. This is Liam Craig. It is

touched on by Cummins and there is no flag. St Johnstone have the lead.

Against Hearts. Given to them by Graham couplen, second of the

season. -- Cummins, brilliant work down the

right-hand side, Liam Craig possibly going for goal himself there. There.

And a wonderful tribute to Dave Mackay, who announced his retirement

this week. The Scottish Cup winning captain. That is a poor clearance by

Jack Hamilton and Liam Craig, it, Hamilton! It went over to Jack

Hamilton. A moment of real drama, that looked like it was going to

spill in over the line. Hamilton got there just in time, but he was far

from decisive. John beaten, speaking there.

He trapped the hearts manager into the stands, by the look of things.

Yeah. He has had to much to say.

Comes Nicholson again. Patterson. Good work this time and

then then it is from Nicholson, is that as close as Hearts will come to

equalising? Hearts have scored late goals this

season. How they need one now. Final minute of injury time, is just bon

us. It is Paterson, Sammon is there as well, Paterson knocks it past. He

has had two brilliant chances in the closing stages of this game, hitting

the bar with a header and stabbing wide there. We are trying to build a

young teem that is hungry. And can come up with this, but request have

to try and dominate it first, we couldn't quite get the win that we

deserved. I have seen couplen, and spoke to the referee, he said there

is contact but he exaggerated the contact on him. If I think that the

referee is spot on, the players will be fine hand is what we do here. I

thought it was really good. The fourth official thought I was

clapping sarcastically at the referee, he has his wires crossed a

bit. We talk about dive gate at Tyne castle, more dine gate this time,

involving St Johnstone player, this time both players booked, for

simulation Steven. First up Cummins, did the referee get this right. Was

it a dive. No, we will see here, there is contact, you know, the

referee's positioning isn't the best. When we get there, the slo-mo

replay you can see that the knee comes out and hits the thigh of

couplen, he is maybe a touch theatrical but there is contact.

Incredibly harsh for that. No, it is, I understand the referees want

to get on top of it because it is becoming a problem, but that is not

the problem, the problem when you dive when there is no contact and

they are deliberately trying to feign it. So he doesn't face a fine.

The next one is this Not guilty. The referee's three feet away from it,

when he makes the decision, it is similar to the first one again, it

is the knee that comes out across, when he cuts inside on to these

thigh, again, contact right in front of the referee and it's the wrong

decision. Does he get fined? He is a wee bit closer but gets away with

it. Like the game we were talking about before, it was after the

contact. Players are getting used to it now. They are beginning to throw

their bodies into player, you should run directly, that is the... The

Irony the manager talked about the Hearts players before the match

maximising situation, Hearts, it has to be said, missing out on the

chance to go top of the table yesterday, another great result for

St Johnstone, against Hearts. And Clark very much in fine form. Htss

Hearts created a lot of opportunities, but this man, St

Johnstone can thank him for the three points. The team themselves

defended well. But his performance was brilliant. It is not just the

saves, well done, he was fantastic. We have watched three games, Celtic

were mimes ahead with -- miles ahead and Rangers the same and Hearts get

nothing out of it. It has been a strange few games. A lot of managers

will be unhappy with the points, but happy with the performances. Plenty

of great football to come, including Dundee at home to Aberdeen.

After a strong start to the season, Motherwell found themselves without

a win in five. A Derby match with Hamilton had the fans in optimistic

mood. You know a derby, it is a better atmosphere. Without a

striker, so many games have upset it. Our squad looks stronger. I'm

optimistic. We owe Hamilton a beating!

Mark McGhee recalls moult in a three-pronged attack.

Hamilton welcome back their captain, Devlin. Just one win in ten between

those two. Nothing like a Derby to reignite a season though. There is

moult with the header! But the celebrations are cut short. The flag

is up for offside against moult. And it is very tight.

Samson will look long. Moult is in again here. This time the flag stays

down. And how much are Motherwell loving having Louis Moult back? He

scored for the second week in a row. It is Mark McGhee's men who have the

early lead in the Lanarkshire Derby. Hennagan felt he was pushed there.

It is Moult again. And two goals in the space of five minutes. Louis

Moult at the double on Derby day. It is a fine header to beat Matthews.

Tait's cross was perfect. Motherwell have a two-goal lead.

There is Moult! And perfect execution on the volley. We have

only played 21 minutes and Louis Moult has completed a 13-minute

hat-trick. Incredible stuff. The poise to control the volley, to keep

it down. And fire into the back of the net. Motherwell 3, Hamilton 0.

Martin canning's game plan has completely unravelled here. They

look to get some sort of a foot hold in the game. Crawford! It is a fine

finish from Crawford and Hamilton are on the scoreboard. You have to

say it is a brilliantly worked goal. What a fine finish. The first time

effort from Crawford, who scores for the fifth time this season and

perhaps this one isn't over just yet.

Brophy bundled over by McManus. Noo hesitation from -- no hesitation

from Willie Collum in awarding the free kick. It hits the post again,

but this time it comes straight back out and to Sarris, who had a tap in

to make it 3-2. This looks ominous and Bowman goes

down. Lyon clipped the shins of Bowman and it is a penalty. Moult

scored from ten yards last week and he has done it again. His day and

Motherwell's day just gets better and better. It is a four-goal haul

for Louis Moult. Mark McGhee surely will be registering their first home

league win of the season. It is nicely done by Bingham though.

Crawford's in the middle and Crawford has done it again. There is

still 26 minutes to play. Crawford doing his very best to try and keep

pace with Motherwell and Moult. He has scored twice. The deficit is

back to two goals. Bingham! And Bingham's header

cleared off the line. Gillespie then slashes it wide. Imrie's cross and

Bingham got a firm header on it. But it was Hennagan on the line to knock

clear. We won a hard fought game. So it is good to get in with the three

points. But the bragging rights for the supporters and I'm delighted it

is our supporters. It starts from the first minute and we didn't. We

had a slight change and then we were excellent and created a lot of

opportunities and how Motherwell managed to score two, I don't know.

A couple of weeks out o', to get back in, thankful to the gafer and

hopefully I have repaid. Him all the boys have put a message on the ball.

I will be busy reading that. It was four goals he got and Stephen, it

could have been five for him. What a performance. Yes, should have been

five. His goal that was chalked off was wrongly chalked off. He is half

a yard or a yard onside and it is a good finish. Five would have been

outrageous. But he had a magnificent match. Even goals in four

appearances. And he has been out for eight weeks. Last year he scored 18

goals. He's big player for Motherwell. The manager has puts the

pressure on saying he wants 20 by Christmas. He was fantastic. I love

this one. All right the players have not got close to him. That volley,

for most players it is going into top stand. For me, yeah! He has

shown great pace and everything about his game was perfect. At this

point in time I feel rotten for Ali Crawford. He had two brilliant goals

and he has had, he is still playing brilliantly and he will not gate

headline, because Moult gets them. We saw a great strike from him.

Martin Cannings said we didn't play well. But he changed it. Yes it

wasn't work. It is a disappointing day for them. They got back into the

match and got two goals and probably should have got another. But it was

too little, too late. Time for another interesting stat, Partick

Thistle won both their away matches against Kilmarnock last season by a

7-2 scoreline on aggregate. Lee Clark has been looking for

continuity and he has got it. For the first time this season as he

fields the same starting line up for the second successive week.

Doolan. He wasn't farm away with that effort. Good wing play by Amoo.

Smith looking for Boyd. Coulibaly, good save from Scully. But Coulibaly

up to his acrobatic antics again. On the chest and then the overhead

hook. That cape off the head of Gordon.

That was one straight off the training ground. And Dicker close to

getting the opener. Kris Boyd! Three players around him.

And Kilmarnock are in front in the 17th minute. Boyd on the score sheet

for the third time this season. He got a lucky break off the shins of

Booth and the Killie striker takes full advantage.

Erskine is work hard in the middle of the park, setting up that

opportunity. It was the right boot of McDonald that came to the

Kilmarnock rescue. Thistle's last away win was here on 7th May.

Lawless. Excellent finish by Stephen Lawless. Thistle back on level

terms. Good wing play by Amoo. Look at the touch by Lawless. First on

the left foot and the execution with the right was perfect to beat

McDonald. Erskine screaming for it in the

middle and Booth taking it on himself and McDonald did well to

Parry that one away. Coulibaly. Good touch by Ryan

Scully. Coulibaly determined to get on the score sheet, trying his luck

from the set piece. Erskine with a lovely run. Tyson

sliding in there. Lawless is looking for the penalty. Andrew Dallas says

no. Was there contact between the players?

Coulibaly! And Kilmarnock are in front. How he enjoys celebrating a

goal! Coulibaly with his sixth of the season. And how did the striker

climb above the two Thistle defenders? Time is runening out for

Partick Thistle. Erskine it came off the post and there is Lindsay. He

may well have clinched a point for his side. Quick reactions from the

big centre-back. that is a yellow card for the

Partick Thistle captain. Mechanic McKenzie was getting --

McKenzie was getting free. Boyd. Coulibaly has had his chances

from set pieces. Kris Boyd trying his luck, not having much

successful Hawkshaw. McKenzie. Grounded with that

challenge and will be a second yellow card for the Partick Thistle

captain. And Osman is sent off with two minutes remaining.

The key is we have to start keeping clean sheets. We are a big threat at

the other end of the pitch, we know we scored two today, we could have

had a couple of more, we have strikers in form, A terrible

performance last week. It stoppeds the rot. We are delighted to get

back in the points tally. More spring in the Kilmarnock step

than others predicted at the Saturday of the season. How much

progress do we think which have seen under Lee Clark. A lot of people

doom and gloom the way they recruited in the summer, and of

course they didn't get a win against at Partick Thistle last season. Is

frightenings to see that amount of changes happen at the same time and

lot of youngsters coming through, it's a tough one for the fans to

take onboard. It wasn't going that well. Listening to Lee Clark talking

about it is quite good. When it hits together, if it does, it could be

special, but it will not happen overnight. It takes a little while.

They squandered two Led yesterday. That is true. I thought they were

pretty good goals. I, we were talking about Lawless's goal. If you

are ahead and at home squandering the lead is not the thing to do. I

think that first touch with the left foot is magnificent. You miss it

because it happens so quick. It is left foot and his right foot. And

great for Partick Thistle to take chance, that is something they have

not been doing very much so far this season. No, I have to say I still

think, I mean, we will find they are getting close to the bottom, if not

at the bottom. It's a tough time for them. They will have to be brave and

keep going, I keep looking at Partick Thistle. I have watched

almost every game this season, they have created chances. It is a good

point for them. It will be disappointed for Kilmarnock to be in

the lead twice and throw it away twice. But they are looking good

going forward. In terms of this strike partnership you could call it

between Kris Boyd and Coulibaly, what is your views on this? Well,

first you hope that they have an understanding with each other, and

again, it is another thing, it doesn't always happen overnight but

they get close to each other, the fact the two of them are big strong

men helps, they are looking for each other. You often find single sceptre

forwards don't want to work with anyone else. Boyd is showing the

twinkle-toes there, it is not a great header to Coulibaly but you

know they are looking for each other, they want it to be a

partnership. The biggest thing, both are scorers. And both are big and

strong and both are willing to work for the cause. It won't always work

or work perfectly well. I see a willingness, you see the beginnings

of something that could be special, you need Boyd to get them in the

back of the net like he did yesterday. It was 2004 the last time

Dundee beat Aberdeen in the league at Dens Park. The sides met this

lunchtime in city of discovery. Aberdeen looking to find the best

form this season. Would they all come together in this happy hunting

ground? Dundee are without their suspended defender.

Maddison is on loan from Norwich and makes his first start for Aberdeen.

Burns is the man who drops out. The Dons looking for their own second

Premiership win of the season. Maddison with the corner kick, up

went to a corner and it is O'Dea with that clearance on the goalline

for the home team. Good leap from the central

defenders, the looping header dealt with.

Right in the centre of the midfield McGowan alongside him nick Ross.

Now, Danny Williams. McGowan again. Neat toss from Ross. Holt, drills in

the opening goal. Aberdeen have dominated the opening exchange, but

it is Dundee who hit the front. Lovely build up. And Lewis wasn't

going to be stopping that, it is a clinical finish. Lots to enjoy for

Dundee. Not much enjoyment for Aberdeen as they look to respond

with McGinn. Sting taken out. That is poor from Holt. Logan.

Maddison. Turns away from Hateley. Maddison has his first Aberdeen

goal. It has gone right through the Dundee goalkeeper, Scott Bain,

conceding against his old team. Maddison's first start for the Don,

his first goal and it is 1-1. Etxabegruren. William, great

challenge, O'Connor. El Bakhtaoui trying to curl that one

in. Maddison. Loses out to Hateley. And

Dundee on the move. Ross running into trouble. Hayes was there.

Shinnie, great strike, what a stop that was.

From Bain. Who gets hiss finger tips to a brilliant strike from Shinnie.

Maddison. Taken out by O'Hara. And the referee will come back, and

administer the yellow card. Flicked on for Rooney. Out for McGinn.

Maddison is in here again. Bain makes a really important save for

Dundee, it was Maddison's first touch, he was onside, but that touch

let the ball get away from him and that allowed Bain to make the save.

Off comes Rooney. On comes the one time Bournemouth striker Stockley.

And Burns as well. Cross field from O'Connor. Neat

touch from Hay, he is off and running, he is away from Holt. A

great ball in for stockry, -- Stockley, hand is what you call

instant impact. Off the bench, to turn this game on

its head. What a run from Hayings, it was such an inviting cross. But

that is a booming header from Stockley to make the score 2-1.

McGowan's Herd, drops for Burns. Burn, making the run for the buy

line. Penalty given. Well, Dundee are furious, Etxabegruren protesting

he got the ball. Well worth a second look. At full stretch and he does

get that right boot on the ball, McQuinn has awarded Aberdeen a

penalty. It is McQuinn. And it is 3-1. Just.

Big sigh of relief for the Aberdeen midfielder, that struck the

underside of the crossbar twice, but surely now no way back for Dundee.

3-1 down. Well, whoen by Shinnie who powers

down the flank, he is taken out by O'Hara. And he will be red carded

here. And he knows it. The minute he made that mistimed

challenge, he knew he was heading down the Dens Park tunnel. Dundee

3-1 down and now a man down. That looks better in the league

table, you shouldn't look at them until the first round. You can't

help yourself, and have been up there are for the last wee while, it

was a similar start to a couple of years ago, and glad to win the game,

three points are so important and it makes a hell of a difference to

everybody. Supporters go away singing, and that is why we are

here. I thought we were good today. Didn't think the score line was a

recollection on how we paid. I thought we were excellent second

half. We scored a good goal. We lose a poor goal. I don't think it was a

3-1 score line. You get the feeling that was a big

result for Aberdeen but it wasn't all plain sailing as Dundee took the

lead. They did. To be honest I am not sure they deserved to be up in

the first half. I think the better side Aberdeen was in the first half.

He holds the ball up, he is under pressure for a bigger stronger man,

his willingness to take the ball and play the right pass, he develops the

place so well. He is a joy to watch, OK. I will be biassed with that type

of player. I get it. But he is a very special player. Holt leaves

that ball. I love this play. Look that the that was fantastic. OK,

there is a lot of space there, but those little flick balls are top

player. How good a goal is it, can you criticise the defend something

Maybe he could have been tucked in a bit more, there was ten passes in

the lead up from when they win to ball to going in the net, it was

brilliant. Aberdeen fans will be glad to see their skied scoring a

few goals, Hayes, second match back, and can I stop cup being

embarrassed. I thought that is Tommo. I would have loved to have

played with Hay, he makes a difference for them. The last stage

of the match Stockley came on, he was powerful, and that was a

powerful header and a brilliant goal. It was a penalty, I foe you

are patron saint of lost cause, there is no way this was a penalty.

He gets the ball. From the referee's position, what does he see? If you

go to ground there at that angle, it is a tough one. A great tackle. He

gets the ball. He was raging after it, Etxabegruren. But you need to

know if you go to ground you are not thinking... The referee has a good

view of it. You can see he has touched it. To be fair the game is

finished, and Aberdeen, it is undeserved because 2-1 was probably

the right result. It was probably right. If you have players like

Stockley, if you have Maddison coming on, not bad. Aberdeen have

Rangers next weekend, how do you see that going? ? It will be a Brill

rant game. I remember the atmosphere being superb, I think the atmosphere

backbench outstanding. Two teams on the same points. Is a massive game.

Alex reign and David tar rehave left St Mirren football club. People will

look at you a former player and think maybe, will you throw your hat

in the ring. I won't throw my hat in the ring. It is disappointing for

then. This season has not been acceptable, they are bottom of the

Championship, they have had five managers in the last three year,

they need stability. They need to keep a manager. Time for a look at

the Ladbrokes Premiership table. Celtic lead the way.

The bottom doesn't make pretty reading for fans of Partick Thistle.

That is it for tonight, we are banished until next weekend. Thank

to you for watch, until next time, from all of us on the Sportscene

team, thanks for staying up with us, the tennis took longer than we

thought but it that hay a good night for football. Good night.
