:00:28. > :00:33.The SPL season is over. We will show you to ride as we give you the

:00:33. > :00:43.final weekend's action how the final European place was won and

:00:43. > :00:45.

:00:45. > :00:49.lost. And reflections From Our reporters. Deal Lennon was named

:00:49. > :00:53.Manager of the Year. Leigh Griffiths was voted Player of the

:00:53. > :00:59.Year and Young Player of the Year it was Dundee United's Stuart

:00:59. > :01:05.Armstrong. There was another big prize up for grabs earlier in the

:01:05. > :01:15.day, a place in the Europa League qualifiers. Firstly, Inverness in

:01:15. > :01:23.

:01:23. > :01:27.Inverness Caley Thistle. They will clinch a place in the European

:01:27. > :01:37.football for the very first time and have an opportunity to take an

:01:37. > :01:38.

:01:38. > :01:45.early lead. This corner kick. It has been a great season for both

:01:45. > :01:50.these sides. It is Caley Thistle and doing the early pressing. What

:01:50. > :02:00.a chance for divine. Caley Thistle will not get too many better than

:02:00. > :02:06.

:02:06. > :02:15.that. It will surely be the opening goal. This is a chance for Ross

:02:15. > :02:25.County. And it is worried. He should have hit the target. --

:02:25. > :02:33.

:02:33. > :02:42.worried. -- wide. Possibly went at it with the wrong foot. He nearly

:02:42. > :02:51.went all the way. This man is on his final appearance with Inverness

:02:51. > :03:01.Caley Thistle. He is moving to Kilmarnock. It is a poor clearance.

:03:01. > :03:05.

:03:05. > :03:15.It falls. The keeper had to look lively to see it wide. Terry

:03:15. > :03:24.

:03:25. > :03:34.Butcher not entirely delighted by the way things are going. Grateful

:03:35. > :03:43.

:03:43. > :03:49.to see the ball wares by the outside of the post. -- whizz by.

:03:49. > :03:59.What a strike. What away to open your Ross County goalscoring

:03:59. > :03:59.

:03:59. > :04:06.account. This is an absolutely fabulous finish. And again for

:04:06. > :04:14.Inverness Caley Thistle. Ross County have certainly been the

:04:14. > :04:21.better side in this final Highland derby of the season. That did not

:04:21. > :04:27.really test the keeper. A yard or two to either side and it might

:04:27. > :04:32.have been a different story. Inverness Caley Thistle really have

:04:32. > :04:42.to buck up their ideas in this second half if European football is

:04:42. > :04:45.

:04:45. > :04:55.to be a reality. The anxiety in the faces of the fans is clear for all

:04:55. > :04:56.

:04:56. > :05:04.to see. The ball clipped them. It falls back. And a shot! That was

:05:04. > :05:14.close to an equaliser from a Billy McKay. These calls are all sorts

:05:14. > :05:22.

:05:22. > :05:32.important for a Terry Butcher's side. Well taken. That was bound

:05:32. > :05:33.

:05:33. > :05:43.for the bottom corner. Sutherland picking up from Raven. Trying to

:05:43. > :05:51.bring about a leveller. Paul Gallagher has not had too much to

:05:51. > :05:58.trouble them all game. The seconds are slipping away for Inverness

:05:58. > :06:06.Caley Thistle as the Ross County seemed destined for their first

:06:06. > :06:14.Highland derby winner of the season. A lovely strike. So close to a

:06:14. > :06:24.A lovely strike. So close to a second goal. Derby defeat for

:06:24. > :06:34.Inverness. Now the story of the match that would be the decider for

:06:34. > :06:48.

:06:48. > :06:57.the top it went. Callum Davidson with a long throw. Hasselbaink. The

:06:57. > :07:03.flag is up. It will not count. Very tight indeed. It was a good throw.

:07:03. > :07:12.Hasselbaink did really well. He worked his man. If that was offside

:07:12. > :07:20.it is only just. Now always a danger drifting inside. That is a

:07:20. > :07:28.good ball back on to Davidson. Of the Post! Then turned behind. It

:07:28. > :07:38.was Ramsden got it away. That would have been an absolute ideal time to

:07:38. > :07:39.

:07:40. > :07:49.score for that player. Plenty of Motherwell players tracking back. A

:07:49. > :07:58.lovely dummy into Hasselbaink. They tried to carve their way through.

:07:58. > :08:08.Good defending by Motherwell. Craig thinks about the strike and a power

:08:08. > :08:09.

:08:09. > :08:14.pace with precision. He fires St Johnstone ahead. The man who will

:08:14. > :08:24.be playing for her hence the next term, that is certainly the way to

:08:24. > :08:35.

:08:36. > :08:45.do it. -- for Hibs. Not lacking confidence today. That was a little

:08:45. > :08:51.stutter and got the short end. Steve Lomas on the verge of third

:08:51. > :08:57.place if things go his way. A good header by Hebden and over the top

:08:57. > :09:07.it goes. Motherwell come close to the equaliser. It was Michael

:09:07. > :09:09.

:09:09. > :09:15.Higdon, clear of the year that got it three. Hasselbaink turns his man.

:09:15. > :09:24.A good finish! Two minutes into the second catheter is 2-04 St

:09:24. > :09:34.Johnstone. Hasselbaink worked this himself. A great finish. The

:09:34. > :09:39.

:09:39. > :09:45.defender in behind him but he was strong. Davidson waited for it. It

:09:45. > :09:51.rattled the crossbar. It is not away yet. On to Maclean. Davidson

:09:51. > :10:01.is there again. He just stumbles over the ball. Davidson back to

:10:01. > :10:02.

:10:03. > :10:12.Craig. They are persistent. He goes for apparel! Well, they have

:10:13. > :10:16.

:10:16. > :10:23.pressed and pressed all afternoon. That was a great effort. Onto

:10:23. > :10:30.Hasselbaink who has already turned once to good effect. Liam Craig!

:10:30. > :10:35.The two goalscorers combining almost four at St Johnstone's third.

:10:35. > :10:45.The fans all want the whistle. Trying to find just a consolation

:10:45. > :10:52.

:10:52. > :11:02.goal. He then bought them back on to Wasley. That is deflected.

:11:02. > :11:05.

:11:05. > :11:11.And this was full-time. St Johnstone have qualified for Europe.

:11:11. > :11:16.They did it last season and have qualified again. Right up until the

:11:16. > :11:21.last week or two I did not think they would be there. They have got

:11:21. > :11:26.a good group of players together. Keeping it going right to the end,

:11:26. > :11:33.they have had a long, long season. To finish it strongly just shows

:11:33. > :11:39.you. Their season in European football started in mid July and

:11:39. > :11:44.possibly it could do so again for them. The lose the likes of Liam

:11:44. > :11:50.Craig who got the first goal today against Motherwell. They will have

:11:50. > :11:56.to rebuild again. They have done well in terms of building a squad

:11:56. > :12:02.without no real Budget. It is a difficult thing to do. They might

:12:02. > :12:07.lose a couple of players. They seemed to pick up players with SPL

:12:07. > :12:11.experience which I think is the secret behind their success. They

:12:11. > :12:17.have had a very successful season. Finishing third again is brilliant

:12:17. > :12:27.for them. The ecstasy force and Johnston's his agony for Inverness

:12:27. > :12:30.

:12:30. > :12:35.but Terry Butcher and did not look to be in any sort of worry when he

:12:35. > :12:40.held up for fingers to show where the finish in the league. It has

:12:40. > :12:48.been a fantastic season. He put together a fantastic group. I think

:12:48. > :12:55.he can be really, really proud of it. Billy McKay in dreamland this

:12:55. > :13:00.season. For those watching him this season, 27 goals. What an

:13:00. > :13:04.achievement that is in any week and for any team but to do that with

:13:04. > :13:08.Inverness. If anybody said at the start of the season Inverness would

:13:08. > :13:14.finish in 4th place I do not think many would have believed you. It

:13:14. > :13:22.has been fantastic for him. We were worried when Inverness failed to

:13:22. > :13:30.when the home game last week we worried if that was the problem. To

:13:30. > :13:34.do it against their big rivals today was always going to be tough.

:13:35. > :13:42.Again for or Ross County it has been a great season. There is an

:13:42. > :13:48.argument to say Ross County are having a great season. I think what

:13:48. > :13:54.they have done in the last two seasons is off the scale. We know

:13:54. > :14:00.the limited resources. They have had good cup wins as well. Add it

:14:00. > :14:05.all together and I think that the end of the day as been who would be

:14:05. > :14:10.Manager of the Season a lot of people have said theirs. There is a

:14:10. > :14:13.difficulty trying to keep people like them. We talk about players

:14:13. > :14:23.but trying to keep that manager will be very tough for any length

:14:23. > :14:37.

:14:37. > :14:47.second season. It was Motherwell who got closest to Celtic and maybe this

:14:47. > :14:47.

:14:47. > :14:55.underlines the scale of difficulty that Stuart Hall house. These have

:14:55. > :15:04.all gone during Stuart McCall's time in management. That is the

:15:04. > :15:10.difficulty. As you say, there is the possibility that McFadden may not

:15:10. > :15:16.come back next season. Who knows? To finish in that position, he has

:15:16. > :15:26.played well in that. Motherwell have been a joy to watch this season. It

:15:26. > :15:28.

:15:28. > :15:38.is pacey that all they have scored a lot of goals. It has been fantastic.

:15:38. > :15:38.

:15:38. > :15:44.He is maybe the most naturally classical striker. He has power and

:15:44. > :15:49.he uses it. I am a massive fan of everything he has done. It will be

:15:49. > :15:54.difficult for Motherwell to hold onto him. It has been a great season

:15:54. > :16:00.onto him. It has been a great season and he is an old-fashioned Usually

:16:00. > :16:07.his strikes are on target. It could be difficult for Motherwell to hold

:16:07. > :16:11.onto him. The league season probably could not relevant earlier not for

:16:11. > :16:13.these teams. Here is the bottom six action from Rugby Park and firstly

:16:13. > :16:22.action from Rugby Park and firstly action from Rugby Park and firstly

:16:22. > :16:32.Pittodrie. Andy Webster is watching Pittodrie. Andy Webster is watching

:16:32. > :16:38.this closely. Dylan McGowan did really well to get back there. Josh

:16:38. > :16:48.Magennis is bidding Andy Webster in all sorts of trouble. -- putting

:16:48. > :16:57.all sorts of trouble. -- putting Andy Webster. Jamie Langfield deals

:16:57. > :17:07.with the deflection. Hearts are on the break. The deflection came of

:17:07. > :17:11.

:17:11. > :17:21.Isaac Osbourne. The Hearts defenders are cross. That is a really good

:17:21. > :17:29.

:17:29. > :17:35.save by Jamie MacDonald! Jonny Hayes deflected away from goal. Aberdeen

:17:35. > :17:45.are enjoying a good period of dominance. Again it is Jamie

:17:45. > :17:47.

:17:47. > :17:55.MacDonald with a fingertip save. What a game Jamie MacDonald is

:17:55. > :18:05.happening in goal. But for him, Aberdeen could quite easily be three

:18:05. > :18:08.

:18:08. > :18:14.or four up. Cammy Smith again. He sees his effort pushed away. Ryan

:18:14. > :18:24.Stevenson and Hearts have the lead! They may have been outplayed for

:18:24. > :18:32.

:18:32. > :18:37.periods of this match but they're marking was terrible. That header

:18:37. > :18:47.takes it into the path of Jonny Hayes and it is in! It is an

:18:47. > :18:52.equaliser. McManus celebrates. It will go down as an own goal.

:18:52. > :19:02.Aberdeen do not much care about that. The main thing for them as

:19:02. > :19:04.

:19:04. > :19:14.they have would level. -- they have cooled level. Aberdeen are back in

:19:14. > :19:18.

:19:18. > :19:28.the match. That has been pushed away by Langfield who is taking no

:19:28. > :19:28.

:19:28. > :19:32.chances. Coalminer cad a slim hope of

:19:32. > :19:42.finishing the season in seventh spot but things did not get off to the

:19:42. > :19:44.

:19:44. > :19:48.stop -- the start they hoped for. When these teams met at Rugby Park

:19:48. > :19:56.back in September, Commander came back on top and they were soon back

:19:56. > :19:59.in this match. Some need build-up play and a wonderful pass. Boyd got

:19:59. > :20:06.the better of the goalkeeper who will be playing but coalminer next

:20:06. > :20:12.season. We'll Boyd still be with the Ayrshire club? It is more than

:20:12. > :20:22.likely that some players will leave Saint Mirren. They come bind well

:20:22. > :20:24.

:20:24. > :20:29.here but McGowan shots well over. This was another opportunity, Anita

:20:29. > :20:39.shot with Conor Newton who was next to try his luck. Gulmarg had

:20:39. > :20:44.

:20:44. > :20:51.chances. Boyd was almost in. -- Gulmarg. It allowed Anton Brady to

:20:51. > :21:00.race through and it was left to Lee Ashcroft to try and stop him. He

:21:00. > :21:07.did, but not without giving away a penalty. Paul McGowan stepped in and

:21:07. > :21:10.it was almost his last goal for the Paisley side. The coalminer keeper

:21:10. > :21:17.is heading to pastures new and it looked like he would be tested

:21:17. > :21:21.again. It was good work from Conor Newton on the wing. But it was

:21:21. > :21:24.another debutant who got under his shots. Since Beren have not won

:21:24. > :21:34.since the league cup win in March but with a few minutes remaining

:21:34. > :21:38.

:21:38. > :21:43.babe wrapped up the season on a positive note. -- St Mirren. Newton

:21:43. > :21:48.will be missed as he heads back to Newcastle but he helped St Mary and

:21:48. > :21:58.the season on our high. Come amid the season on our high. Come amid

:21:58. > :22:00.

:22:00. > :22:06.finish in ninth spot. They needed that win, their first in some time.

:22:06. > :22:13.If you are a simpler and fan and you start the season when someone says

:22:13. > :22:23.you will be in the bottom happen. You take the cup every time, don't

:22:23. > :22:24.

:22:24. > :22:28.you? They will lose very good players. But you will probably be

:22:28. > :22:33.happy with the season because any season you have sold over, you will

:22:33. > :22:37.look back and think that was a great year. Harmonic will look back on

:22:37. > :22:45.inconsistency, will they? They are capable of having big results at

:22:45. > :22:50.Celtic Park. At the other end of the scale, they failed to make the top

:22:50. > :22:57.six when they have the chance to do so. They tried to play that all the

:22:57. > :23:01.right way but they have at times this season let themselves down.

:23:01. > :23:06.They like to try and keep the ball and when that is not working, they

:23:06. > :23:11.put themselves under pressure. It is the way they like to play, it is a

:23:11. > :23:16.high risk game. In some of the big games it comes off and looks good

:23:16. > :23:25.but it can leave them vulnerable. Derek McInnes is as unbeaten as the

:23:25. > :23:32.manager. They have done a great bit of business and keeping an eye.

:23:32. > :23:40.There is the rest of the team to put together. The Aberdeen fans realise

:23:40. > :23:50.they have the most important man signed up. If you are the manager

:23:50. > :23:51.

:23:52. > :23:54.you get rid of the dead wood or what you consider to be the deadwood. It

:23:54. > :24:01.has fallen slightly into his lap that a lot of people are coming to

:24:01. > :24:04.the end of their contracts and he is getting the opportunity to do that.

:24:04. > :24:08.He has got good contacts down in England so he will bring in new

:24:08. > :24:12.players and there will be no excuses. He will be expected to

:24:12. > :24:20.start well next season. The cynics would say that they have heard that

:24:20. > :24:25.before. But you have to look at it positively. They have consolidated

:24:25. > :24:29.over the last few years and have not been in any trouble. They are

:24:29. > :24:35.looking now to try and spring forward and get into that top six

:24:35. > :24:45.more regularly. They are hoping to become a force in Scottish but all.

:24:45. > :24:45.

:24:46. > :24:50.-- Scottish football. We will hope to see them move forward. We will

:24:50. > :24:56.speak about your own team, Hearts. They are sailing towards massive

:24:56. > :24:59.problems of the pitch. There is a massive board meeting tomorrow to

:24:59. > :25:06.consider the financial predicament of the parent company. How would you

:25:06. > :25:14.read it at the moment? They are hopeful of avoiding a pence --

:25:14. > :25:20.points penalty. We will not have the full facts of everything that is

:25:20. > :25:26.going on and whether there has been caught a person Lithuania. -- court

:25:26. > :25:36.papers. I do not know what the outcome of the meeting tomorrow will

:25:36. > :25:40.be. I am sure the meeting tomorrow will not find that much out.

:25:40. > :25:47.there was a points deduction, it could potentially take the club down

:25:47. > :25:54.further? You do not want to see the phrase I don't know, but you do not.

:25:54. > :26:04.Nobody does. I suspect the people at heart do not know the legal

:26:04. > :26:12.

:26:12. > :26:22.position. -- the people at Hearts football club. There are different

:26:22. > :26:25.rules and numerous suggestions. I think the Scottish Premier League

:26:25. > :26:32.will be wary of making decisions that will send Hearts down until

:26:32. > :26:42.they have the full facts in front of them. A great adventure under

:26:42. > :26:52.Vladimir Raman of or a total nightmare? A bit of both actually.

:26:52. > :26:53.

:26:53. > :26:57.-- Vladimir Romanov. The debt is about the same as when he took over.

:26:57. > :27:07.If things had been managed differently haps we could have been

:27:07. > :27:13.

:27:13. > :27:23.looking at a different scenario now. -- perhaps we. You just couldn't let

:27:23. > :27:28.

:27:28. > :27:31.it lie, could you? I could not. it lie, could you? I could not.

:27:31. > :27:41.it lie, could you? I could not. it lie, could you? I could not.

:27:41. > :27:43.

:27:43. > :27:53.we turn to another match. Kris Commons with a free kick. He

:27:53. > :27:55.

:27:55. > :27:58.does not want to leave Tannadice on the back of an own goal. Skipper Jon

:27:58. > :28:08.Daly lunges in. He was not happy with the award but it was

:28:08. > :28:10.

:28:10. > :28:16.inevitable. Kris Commons over the set piece. And he fires a Celtic in

:28:16. > :28:21.front yet again! How many times has he scored the opening goal for

:28:21. > :28:31.Celtic? I reckon that is into double figures. One high than zero inside

:28:31. > :28:39.

:28:39. > :28:48.11 minutes. -- one hyphen zero. It is diverted onto the post. Paddy

:28:48. > :28:58.McCourt makes a rare start for Celtic. Giorgio samurais cuts in and

:28:58. > :29:04.

:29:04. > :29:14.that is to hyphen zero. Celtic are cruising at Tannadice. It cruises

:29:14. > :29:14.

:29:14. > :29:24.into the corner. Dundee United are looking to respond. That is a really

:29:24. > :29:26.

:29:26. > :29:32.good save from Fraser Forster. That is beaten away by the Celtic keeper.

:29:32. > :29:40.It is a big opportunity here. He tries to take it around Foster up

:29:40. > :29:49.there is no joy. In from Kris Commons. Charge your summer as

:29:49. > :29:59.strikes again. Two goals in ten minutes and it is well inside the

:29:59. > :30:16.

:30:16. > :30:26.house our work Celtic are three Pedder was spearheading end to the

:30:26. > :30:28.

:30:28. > :30:35.top corner before the keeper's intervention. Chested down by

:30:35. > :30:43.Russell for her daily. United keep it alive for a Stuart Armstrong and

:30:43. > :30:49.it is at double save from the Celtic keeper. First from our

:30:49. > :30:56.rasping volley from Dili and the second time around it was Armstrong

:30:56. > :31:03.with the drilled a shot which again had Forster at full stretch.

:31:03. > :31:13.Samaras stretches his legs. Two goals already. Threatening again.

:31:13. > :31:17.It is a great ball in. Drops for a brown. Again the keeper is kept

:31:17. > :31:27.busy. Another has saved here to limit the damage for at Dundee

:31:27. > :31:32.

:31:32. > :31:39.United. The skipper looked to add to the Celtic total. A short corner.

:31:39. > :31:46.Stokes shot end of for a number for a! It is another deflection which

:31:46. > :31:55.takes it back the keeper. This time it came off Armstrong. The keeper

:31:55. > :32:05.was helpless. Celtic have their 4th goal. Celtic in great shape for the

:32:05. > :32:06.

:32:06. > :32:16.Cup final but before we talk about that here is Hibs against them be.

:32:16. > :32:22.

:32:22. > :32:28.-- Dundee. It is beaten a wave. He is more than capable from India.

:32:28. > :32:38.Leigh Griffiths has been given lots of Player of the Year accolades and

:32:38. > :32:42.

:32:42. > :32:49.rightly so. Leigh Griffiths again. The keeper is equal to them at.

:32:49. > :32:57.Still alive for Hibernian. He wants a hand ball against Gary Irvine.

:32:57. > :33:07.Nothing doing for Hibernian. Another downbeat man causing his

:33:07. > :33:19.

:33:19. > :33:24.old team all kinds of problems. -- Dundee man. He is going to get the

:33:24. > :33:29.ball back. Expertly done. His effort was straight at the

:33:29. > :33:39.goalkeeper the law. He really has impressed since he broke into the

:33:39. > :33:48.

:33:48. > :33:58.team. Mid Devon. He was dropped. This is Baird. It is a wonderful

:33:58. > :34:17.

:34:17. > :34:25.football next season, we do not know what is going to happen with

:34:25. > :34:31.Hearts. Colwell are still has had us as an option on the right. He

:34:31. > :34:41.went himself. A lot of confidence from Ross Caldwell just now after

:34:41. > :34:46.

:34:46. > :34:52.his Tynecastle Derby winner last weekend at Tynecastle. He goes

:34:52. > :34:58.through and it goes past. A few times this game they have managed

:34:58. > :35:07.to find this man in behind the defence. Hibernian continue to bang

:35:07. > :35:13.on the Dundee Dora. This man has only ever scored a once for a

:35:13. > :35:23.Hibernian. He should have made it two with this one. It still stays

:35:23. > :35:27.

:35:27. > :35:36.at 0-0. Then the already relegated, just trying to finish the season on

:35:36. > :35:40.some kind of high. That is flashed across the face of goal. The

:35:40. > :35:50.reaction suggests he feels he should have hit the target with

:35:50. > :35:55.

:35:55. > :36:03.that. Not too far away. Wotherspoon! A terrific header. 1-

:36:03. > :36:13.02 Hibernian. They are building up to next week's Scottish Cup Final

:36:13. > :36:16.

:36:16. > :36:22.very nicely. It is relegation for Adam de Comer are of the left

:36:22. > :36:29.thinking I wonder if we had brought in John Brown a little bit earlier?

:36:29. > :36:33.Yes, and considering how much was raining down on the board when they

:36:33. > :36:38.did that. He has got the players doing as well as he could possibly

:36:39. > :36:43.do. He is really unlucky in the end not to get it to the last game of

:36:43. > :36:49.the season. There is some hope going forward but in the end it is

:36:49. > :36:53.what we expected. We did not know if they would be in the league. It

:36:53. > :36:57.is no surprise that they find themselves down there. I think they

:36:57. > :37:07.have a guy who deserves at least a season and possibly a bit of time

:37:07. > :37:10.

:37:10. > :37:14.and a couple of quid to try to get They would have to restructure

:37:14. > :37:19.financially accordingly would they not? I do not know. The players

:37:19. > :37:24.will be there whether they are in the First Division or in the

:37:24. > :37:27.Premier League. I think the ad in a good place to come back up, they

:37:28. > :37:37.will go into next season as favourites to come back up, I think

:37:37. > :37:41.they can do it. Obviously, in Stuart Armstrong, he has been voted

:37:41. > :37:51.the Young Player of the Year, he has got a real talent. They have

:37:51. > :37:57.

:37:57. > :38:01.got a few real talents up there. From midfield up to the attack and

:38:01. > :38:06.saying that some ways it is a bit disappointing for Dundee United

:38:06. > :38:11.this season. Perhaps this has been a bit of a disappointment but once

:38:11. > :38:21.again the new manager who is in and has a chance to put his impact on

:38:21. > :38:25.the team. They could be a very strong force next season. Stuart

:38:25. > :38:30.Armstrong is almost an elder statesman compared with some of the

:38:30. > :38:35.dies in the United team at the moment. It is a feature of the SPL

:38:35. > :38:39.at the moment, young players getting the chance. Everybody is

:38:39. > :38:45.trying to cut back on wages, younger players are going to get a

:38:45. > :38:49.chance. That can only be good for the national game, for the Scotland

:38:49. > :38:54.manager, that these boys are getting a chance to come in and

:38:54. > :39:04.hold on to their skills and get competitive football at some --

:39:04. > :39:10.

:39:10. > :39:17.such a young age. 28 goals from this man. Yes, obviously they have

:39:17. > :39:24.several players who have scored well. His general standard of

:39:24. > :39:30.strength this season is off the scale. It is painful for every Hibs

:39:30. > :39:36.fan that he has got one game left. There is great maturity about the

:39:36. > :39:42.player. And part of the Celtic plan for the Cup final next weekend has

:39:42. > :39:51.got to be stopping him. Yes, he creates chances for himself. It is

:39:51. > :39:57.not dependent on anyone. Even from the Ed Balls he has agreed strike

:39:57. > :40:04.on him. It will be difficult to keep him quiet. Celtic will have a

:40:04. > :40:14.plan to do that. The football writer's Manager of the Year will

:40:14. > :40:24.

:40:24. > :40:31.have a plan to stop benefits. -- Griffiths. I am delighted for Neil

:40:31. > :40:38.Lennon, he deserved an award. You have got to go and do it. Celtic

:40:38. > :40:42.have come back from European games and they have done enough. He has

:40:42. > :40:50.organised that team and got the best out of them. They have played

:40:50. > :40:55.in an attacking style. He will add goals and also a bit of creation.

:40:55. > :41:00.Yes, he deserved to win it. You still have to go out there and do

:41:00. > :41:08.it but in the end it comes back to Europe and Barcelona. That is the

:41:08. > :41:12.thing that will stick in their minds. That night against Barcelona.

:41:12. > :41:17.And Gary Cooper, we saw question- marks about his future at Celtic.

:41:17. > :41:22.Like all the teams in the SPL there is that uncertainty about who will

:41:22. > :41:28.be in the squad come the start of next season. Because they have done

:41:28. > :41:32.so well in Europe and the have that experience now, teams in the

:41:32. > :41:39.Premier League and SPL will start to look at that. Barcelona has

:41:39. > :41:45.really turned a few heads and they deserve credit for that. The

:41:45. > :41:48.manager has risen this season. If they do not win the Cup there will

:41:48. > :41:52.be a tinge of disappointment, but if they do that, they are

:41:52. > :41:58.favourites to do that, to finish the job and get the domestic double,

:41:58. > :42:02.I think that would really make it a wonderful season for them. Let's

:42:02. > :42:08.look at the final placings in the look at the final placings in the

:42:08. > :42:14.Premier League. The final winning margin is 16 points. Well done to

:42:15. > :42:21.Inverness and the Ross County. Hibernian in Europe finish top of

:42:21. > :42:31.the bottom six. Next up ate his eyes down for the Scottish Cup

:42:31. > :42:38.

:42:38. > :42:44.final next Sunday and we will be I still get nervous today. Jonathan

:42:44. > :42:50.has an identity crisis on the road to Camden. Pat Nevin predict how

:42:50. > :42:58.the game will be won and lost. We hear from the men on both sides.

:42:58. > :43:02.When I was growing up Kenny Dalglish was the man to beat.

:43:02. > :43:10.Celtic's Welsh connection and the manager was my dream of the double.

:43:10. > :43:12.It is a showcase and B game we are dealing with here. And this man has

:43:12. > :43:22.plans to pocket a Cup winner's plans to pocket a Cup winner's

:43:22. > :43:29.

:43:29. > :43:36.For now, that is it from me and the teams here as the SPL season comes

:43:36. > :43:46.to applause. Celebration time before a ball is get in earnest.

:43:46. > :43:53.
