The SPL season is over. We will show you to ride as we give you the | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
final weekend's action how the final European place was won and | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
:00:43. | :00:45. | ||
lost. And reflections From Our reporters. Deal Lennon was named | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
Manager of the Year. Leigh Griffiths was voted Player of the | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
Year and Young Player of the Year it was Dundee United's Stuart | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
Armstrong. There was another big prize up for grabs earlier in the | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
day, a place in the Europa League qualifiers. Firstly, Inverness in | :01:05. | :01:15. | |
:01:15. | :01:23. | ||
Inverness Caley Thistle. They will clinch a place in the European | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
football for the very first time and have an opportunity to take an | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
:01:37. | :01:38. | ||
early lead. This corner kick. It has been a great season for both | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
these sides. It is Caley Thistle and doing the early pressing. What | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
a chance for divine. Caley Thistle will not get too many better than | :01:50. | :02:00. | |
:02:00. | :02:06. | ||
that. It will surely be the opening goal. This is a chance for Ross | :02:06. | :02:15. | |
County. And it is worried. He should have hit the target. -- | :02:15. | :02:25. | |
:02:25. | :02:33. | ||
worried. -- wide. Possibly went at it with the wrong foot. He nearly | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
went all the way. This man is on his final appearance with Inverness | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
Caley Thistle. He is moving to Kilmarnock. It is a poor clearance. | :02:51. | :03:01. | |
:03:01. | :03:05. | ||
It falls. The keeper had to look lively to see it wide. Terry | :03:05. | :03:15. | |
:03:15. | :03:24. | ||
Butcher not entirely delighted by the way things are going. Grateful | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
:03:35. | :03:43. | ||
to see the ball wares by the outside of the post. -- whizz by. | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
What a strike. What away to open your Ross County goalscoring | :03:49. | :03:59. | |
:03:59. | :03:59. | ||
account. This is an absolutely fabulous finish. And again for | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
Inverness Caley Thistle. Ross County have certainly been the | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
better side in this final Highland derby of the season. That did not | :04:14. | :04:21. | |
really test the keeper. A yard or two to either side and it might | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
have been a different story. Inverness Caley Thistle really have | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
to buck up their ideas in this second half if European football is | :04:32. | :04:42. | |
:04:42. | :04:45. | ||
to be a reality. The anxiety in the faces of the fans is clear for all | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
:04:55. | :04:56. | ||
to see. The ball clipped them. It falls back. And a shot! That was | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
close to an equaliser from a Billy McKay. These calls are all sorts | :05:04. | :05:14. | |
:05:14. | :05:22. | ||
important for a Terry Butcher's side. Well taken. That was bound | :05:22. | :05:32. | |
:05:32. | :05:33. | ||
for the bottom corner. Sutherland picking up from Raven. Trying to | :05:33. | :05:43. | |
bring about a leveller. Paul Gallagher has not had too much to | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
trouble them all game. The seconds are slipping away for Inverness | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
Caley Thistle as the Ross County seemed destined for their first | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
Highland derby winner of the season. A lovely strike. So close to a | :06:06. | :06:14. | |
A lovely strike. So close to a second goal. Derby defeat for | :06:14. | :06:24. | |
Inverness. Now the story of the match that would be the decider for | :06:24. | :06:34. | |
:06:34. | :06:48. | ||
the top it went. Callum Davidson with a long throw. Hasselbaink. The | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
flag is up. It will not count. Very tight indeed. It was a good throw. | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
Hasselbaink did really well. He worked his man. If that was offside | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
it is only just. Now always a danger drifting inside. That is a | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
good ball back on to Davidson. Of the Post! Then turned behind. It | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
was Ramsden got it away. That would have been an absolute ideal time to | :07:28. | :07:38. | |
:07:38. | :07:39. | ||
score for that player. Plenty of Motherwell players tracking back. A | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
lovely dummy into Hasselbaink. They tried to carve their way through. | :07:49. | :07:58. | |
Good defending by Motherwell. Craig thinks about the strike and a power | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
:08:08. | :08:09. | ||
pace with precision. He fires St Johnstone ahead. The man who will | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
be playing for her hence the next term, that is certainly the way to | :08:14. | :08:24. | |
:08:24. | :08:35. | ||
do it. -- for Hibs. Not lacking confidence today. That was a little | :08:36. | :08:45. | |
stutter and got the short end. Steve Lomas on the verge of third | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
place if things go his way. A good header by Hebden and over the top | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
it goes. Motherwell come close to the equaliser. It was Michael | :08:57. | :09:07. | |
:09:07. | :09:09. | ||
Higdon, clear of the year that got it three. Hasselbaink turns his man. | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
A good finish! Two minutes into the second catheter is 2-04 St | :09:15. | :09:24. | |
Johnstone. Hasselbaink worked this himself. A great finish. The | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
:09:34. | :09:39. | ||
defender in behind him but he was strong. Davidson waited for it. It | :09:39. | :09:45. | |
rattled the crossbar. It is not away yet. On to Maclean. Davidson | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
is there again. He just stumbles over the ball. Davidson back to | :09:51. | :10:01. | |
:10:01. | :10:02. | ||
Craig. They are persistent. He goes for apparel! Well, they have | :10:03. | :10:12. | |
:10:13. | :10:16. | ||
pressed and pressed all afternoon. That was a great effort. Onto | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
Hasselbaink who has already turned once to good effect. Liam Craig! | :10:23. | :10:30. | |
The two goalscorers combining almost four at St Johnstone's third. | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
The fans all want the whistle. Trying to find just a consolation | :10:35. | :10:45. | |
:10:45. | :10:52. | ||
goal. He then bought them back on to Wasley. That is deflected. | :10:52. | :11:02. | |
:11:02. | :11:05. | ||
And this was full-time. St Johnstone have qualified for Europe. | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
They did it last season and have qualified again. Right up until the | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
last week or two I did not think they would be there. They have got | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
a good group of players together. Keeping it going right to the end, | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
they have had a long, long season. To finish it strongly just shows | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
you. Their season in European football started in mid July and | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
possibly it could do so again for them. The lose the likes of Liam | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
Craig who got the first goal today against Motherwell. They will have | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
to rebuild again. They have done well in terms of building a squad | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
without no real Budget. It is a difficult thing to do. They might | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
lose a couple of players. They seemed to pick up players with SPL | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
experience which I think is the secret behind their success. They | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
have had a very successful season. Finishing third again is brilliant | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
for them. The ecstasy force and Johnston's his agony for Inverness | :12:17. | :12:27. | |
:12:27. | :12:30. | ||
but Terry Butcher and did not look to be in any sort of worry when he | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
held up for fingers to show where the finish in the league. It has | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
been a fantastic season. He put together a fantastic group. I think | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
he can be really, really proud of it. Billy McKay in dreamland this | :12:48. | :12:55. | |
season. For those watching him this season, 27 goals. What an | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
achievement that is in any week and for any team but to do that with | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
Inverness. If anybody said at the start of the season Inverness would | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
finish in 4th place I do not think many would have believed you. It | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
has been fantastic for him. We were worried when Inverness failed to | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
when the home game last week we worried if that was the problem. To | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
do it against their big rivals today was always going to be tough. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
Again for or Ross County it has been a great season. There is an | :13:35. | :13:42. | |
argument to say Ross County are having a great season. I think what | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
they have done in the last two seasons is off the scale. We know | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
the limited resources. They have had good cup wins as well. Add it | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
all together and I think that the end of the day as been who would be | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
Manager of the Season a lot of people have said theirs. There is a | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
difficulty trying to keep people like them. We talk about players | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
but trying to keep that manager will be very tough for any length | :14:13. | :14:23. | |
:14:23. | :14:37. | ||
second season. It was Motherwell who got closest to Celtic and maybe this | :14:37. | :14:47. | |
:14:47. | :14:47. | ||
underlines the scale of difficulty that Stuart Hall house. These have | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
all gone during Stuart McCall's time in management. That is the | :14:55. | :15:04. | |
difficulty. As you say, there is the possibility that McFadden may not | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
come back next season. Who knows? To finish in that position, he has | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
played well in that. Motherwell have been a joy to watch this season. It | :15:16. | :15:26. | |
:15:26. | :15:28. | ||
is pacey that all they have scored a lot of goals. It has been fantastic. | :15:28. | :15:38. | |
:15:38. | :15:38. | ||
He is maybe the most naturally classical striker. He has power and | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
he uses it. I am a massive fan of everything he has done. It will be | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
difficult for Motherwell to hold onto him. It has been a great season | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
onto him. It has been a great season and he is an old-fashioned Usually | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
his strikes are on target. It could be difficult for Motherwell to hold | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
onto him. The league season probably could not relevant earlier not for | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
these teams. Here is the bottom six action from Rugby Park and firstly | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
action from Rugby Park and firstly action from Rugby Park and firstly | :16:13. | :16:22. | |
Pittodrie. Andy Webster is watching Pittodrie. Andy Webster is watching | :16:22. | :16:32. | |
this closely. Dylan McGowan did really well to get back there. Josh | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
Magennis is bidding Andy Webster in all sorts of trouble. -- putting | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
all sorts of trouble. -- putting Andy Webster. Jamie Langfield deals | :16:48. | :16:57. | |
with the deflection. Hearts are on the break. The deflection came of | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
:17:07. | :17:11. | ||
Isaac Osbourne. The Hearts defenders are cross. That is a really good | :17:11. | :17:21. | |
:17:21. | :17:29. | ||
save by Jamie MacDonald! Jonny Hayes deflected away from goal. Aberdeen | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
are enjoying a good period of dominance. Again it is Jamie | :17:35. | :17:45. | |
:17:45. | :17:47. | ||
MacDonald with a fingertip save. What a game Jamie MacDonald is | :17:47. | :17:55. | |
happening in goal. But for him, Aberdeen could quite easily be three | :17:55. | :18:05. | |
:18:05. | :18:08. | ||
or four up. Cammy Smith again. He sees his effort pushed away. Ryan | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
Stevenson and Hearts have the lead! They may have been outplayed for | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:32. | ||
periods of this match but they're marking was terrible. That header | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
takes it into the path of Jonny Hayes and it is in! It is an | :18:37. | :18:47. | |
equaliser. McManus celebrates. It will go down as an own goal. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
Aberdeen do not much care about that. The main thing for them as | :18:52. | :19:02. | |
:19:02. | :19:04. | ||
they have would level. -- they have cooled level. Aberdeen are back in | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
:19:14. | :19:18. | ||
the match. That has been pushed away by Langfield who is taking no | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
:19:28. | :19:28. | ||
chances. Coalminer cad a slim hope of | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
finishing the season in seventh spot but things did not get off to the | :19:32. | :19:42. | |
:19:42. | :19:44. | ||
stop -- the start they hoped for. When these teams met at Rugby Park | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
back in September, Commander came back on top and they were soon back | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
in this match. Some need build-up play and a wonderful pass. Boyd got | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
the better of the goalkeeper who will be playing but coalminer next | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
season. We'll Boyd still be with the Ayrshire club? It is more than | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
likely that some players will leave Saint Mirren. They come bind well | :20:12. | :20:22. | |
:20:22. | :20:24. | ||
here but McGowan shots well over. This was another opportunity, Anita | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
shot with Conor Newton who was next to try his luck. Gulmarg had | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
:20:39. | :20:44. | ||
chances. Boyd was almost in. -- Gulmarg. It allowed Anton Brady to | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
race through and it was left to Lee Ashcroft to try and stop him. He | :20:51. | :21:00. | |
did, but not without giving away a penalty. Paul McGowan stepped in and | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
it was almost his last goal for the Paisley side. The coalminer keeper | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
is heading to pastures new and it looked like he would be tested | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
again. It was good work from Conor Newton on the wing. But it was | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
another debutant who got under his shots. Since Beren have not won | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
since the league cup win in March but with a few minutes remaining | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
:21:34. | :21:38. | ||
babe wrapped up the season on a positive note. -- St Mirren. Newton | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
will be missed as he heads back to Newcastle but he helped St Mary and | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
the season on our high. Come amid the season on our high. Come amid | :21:48. | :21:58. | |
:21:58. | :22:00. | ||
finish in ninth spot. They needed that win, their first in some time. | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
If you are a simpler and fan and you start the season when someone says | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
you will be in the bottom happen. You take the cup every time, don't | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
:22:23. | :22:24. | ||
you? They will lose very good players. But you will probably be | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
happy with the season because any season you have sold over, you will | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
look back and think that was a great year. Harmonic will look back on | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
inconsistency, will they? They are capable of having big results at | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
Celtic Park. At the other end of the scale, they failed to make the top | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
six when they have the chance to do so. They tried to play that all the | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
right way but they have at times this season let themselves down. | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
They like to try and keep the ball and when that is not working, they | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
put themselves under pressure. It is the way they like to play, it is a | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
high risk game. In some of the big games it comes off and looks good | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
but it can leave them vulnerable. Derek McInnes is as unbeaten as the | :23:16. | :23:25. | |
manager. They have done a great bit of business and keeping an eye. | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
There is the rest of the team to put together. The Aberdeen fans realise | :23:32. | :23:40. | |
they have the most important man signed up. If you are the manager | :23:40. | :23:50. | |
:23:50. | :23:51. | ||
you get rid of the dead wood or what you consider to be the deadwood. It | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
has fallen slightly into his lap that a lot of people are coming to | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
the end of their contracts and he is getting the opportunity to do that. | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
He has got good contacts down in England so he will bring in new | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
players and there will be no excuses. He will be expected to | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
start well next season. The cynics would say that they have heard that | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
before. But you have to look at it positively. They have consolidated | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
over the last few years and have not been in any trouble. They are | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
looking now to try and spring forward and get into that top six | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
more regularly. They are hoping to become a force in Scottish but all. | :24:35. | :24:45. | |
:24:45. | :24:45. | ||
-- Scottish football. We will hope to see them move forward. We will | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
speak about your own team, Hearts. They are sailing towards massive | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
problems of the pitch. There is a massive board meeting tomorrow to | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
consider the financial predicament of the parent company. How would you | :24:59. | :25:06. | |
read it at the moment? They are hopeful of avoiding a pence -- | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
points penalty. We will not have the full facts of everything that is | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
going on and whether there has been caught a person Lithuania. -- court | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
papers. I do not know what the outcome of the meeting tomorrow will | :25:26. | :25:36. | |
be. I am sure the meeting tomorrow will not find that much out. | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
there was a points deduction, it could potentially take the club down | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
further? You do not want to see the phrase I don't know, but you do not. | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
Nobody does. I suspect the people at heart do not know the legal | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
:26:04. | :26:12. | ||
position. -- the people at Hearts football club. There are different | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
rules and numerous suggestions. I think the Scottish Premier League | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
will be wary of making decisions that will send Hearts down until | :26:25. | :26:32. | |
they have the full facts in front of them. A great adventure under | :26:32. | :26:42. | |
Vladimir Raman of or a total nightmare? A bit of both actually. | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
:26:52. | :26:53. | ||
-- Vladimir Romanov. The debt is about the same as when he took over. | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
If things had been managed differently haps we could have been | :26:57. | :27:07. | |
:27:07. | :27:13. | ||
looking at a different scenario now. -- perhaps we. You just couldn't let | :27:13. | :27:23. | |
:27:23. | :27:28. | ||
it lie, could you? I could not. it lie, could you? I could not. | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
it lie, could you? I could not. it lie, could you? I could not. | :27:31. | :27:41. | |
:27:41. | :27:43. | ||
we turn to another match. Kris Commons with a free kick. He | :27:43. | :27:53. | |
:27:53. | :27:55. | ||
does not want to leave Tannadice on the back of an own goal. Skipper Jon | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
Daly lunges in. He was not happy with the award but it was | :27:58. | :28:08. | |
:28:08. | :28:10. | ||
inevitable. Kris Commons over the set piece. And he fires a Celtic in | :28:10. | :28:16. | |
front yet again! How many times has he scored the opening goal for | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
Celtic? I reckon that is into double figures. One high than zero inside | :28:21. | :28:31. | |
:28:31. | :28:39. | ||
11 minutes. -- one hyphen zero. It is diverted onto the post. Paddy | :28:39. | :28:48. | |
McCourt makes a rare start for Celtic. Giorgio samurais cuts in and | :28:48. | :28:58. | |
:28:58. | :29:04. | ||
that is to hyphen zero. Celtic are cruising at Tannadice. It cruises | :29:04. | :29:14. | |
:29:14. | :29:14. | ||
into the corner. Dundee United are looking to respond. That is a really | :29:14. | :29:24. | |
:29:24. | :29:26. | ||
good save from Fraser Forster. That is beaten away by the Celtic keeper. | :29:26. | :29:32. | |
It is a big opportunity here. He tries to take it around Foster up | :29:32. | :29:40. | |
there is no joy. In from Kris Commons. Charge your summer as | :29:40. | :29:49. | |
strikes again. Two goals in ten minutes and it is well inside the | :29:49. | :29:59. | |
:29:59. | :30:16. | ||
house our work Celtic are three Pedder was spearheading end to the | :30:16. | :30:26. | |
:30:26. | :30:28. | ||
top corner before the keeper's intervention. Chested down by | :30:28. | :30:35. | |
Russell for her daily. United keep it alive for a Stuart Armstrong and | :30:35. | :30:43. | |
it is at double save from the Celtic keeper. First from our | :30:43. | :30:49. | |
rasping volley from Dili and the second time around it was Armstrong | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
with the drilled a shot which again had Forster at full stretch. | :30:56. | :31:03. | |
Samaras stretches his legs. Two goals already. Threatening again. | :31:03. | :31:13. | |
It is a great ball in. Drops for a brown. Again the keeper is kept | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
busy. Another has saved here to limit the damage for at Dundee | :31:17. | :31:27. | |
:31:27. | :31:32. | ||
United. The skipper looked to add to the Celtic total. A short corner. | :31:32. | :31:39. | |
Stokes shot end of for a number for a! It is another deflection which | :31:39. | :31:46. | |
takes it back the keeper. This time it came off Armstrong. The keeper | :31:46. | :31:55. | |
was helpless. Celtic have their 4th goal. Celtic in great shape for the | :31:55. | :32:05. | |
:32:05. | :32:06. | ||
Cup final but before we talk about that here is Hibs against them be. | :32:06. | :32:16. | |
:32:16. | :32:22. | ||
-- Dundee. It is beaten a wave. He is more than capable from India. | :32:22. | :32:28. | |
Leigh Griffiths has been given lots of Player of the Year accolades and | :32:28. | :32:38. | |
:32:38. | :32:42. | ||
rightly so. Leigh Griffiths again. The keeper is equal to them at. | :32:42. | :32:49. | |
Still alive for Hibernian. He wants a hand ball against Gary Irvine. | :32:49. | :32:57. | |
Nothing doing for Hibernian. Another downbeat man causing his | :32:57. | :33:07. | |
:33:07. | :33:19. | ||
old team all kinds of problems. -- Dundee man. He is going to get the | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
ball back. Expertly done. His effort was straight at the | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
goalkeeper the law. He really has impressed since he broke into the | :33:29. | :33:39. | |
:33:39. | :33:48. | ||
team. Mid Devon. He was dropped. This is Baird. It is a wonderful | :33:48. | :33:58. | |
:33:58. | :34:17. | ||
football next season, we do not know what is going to happen with | :34:17. | :34:25. | |
Hearts. Colwell are still has had us as an option on the right. He | :34:25. | :34:31. | |
went himself. A lot of confidence from Ross Caldwell just now after | :34:31. | :34:41. | |
:34:41. | :34:46. | ||
his Tynecastle Derby winner last weekend at Tynecastle. He goes | :34:46. | :34:52. | |
through and it goes past. A few times this game they have managed | :34:52. | :34:58. | |
to find this man in behind the defence. Hibernian continue to bang | :34:58. | :35:07. | |
on the Dundee Dora. This man has only ever scored a once for a | :35:07. | :35:13. | |
Hibernian. He should have made it two with this one. It still stays | :35:13. | :35:23. | |
:35:23. | :35:27. | ||
at 0-0. Then the already relegated, just trying to finish the season on | :35:27. | :35:36. | |
some kind of high. That is flashed across the face of goal. The | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
reaction suggests he feels he should have hit the target with | :35:40. | :35:50. | |
:35:50. | :35:55. | ||
that. Not too far away. Wotherspoon! A terrific header. 1- | :35:55. | :36:03. | |
02 Hibernian. They are building up to next week's Scottish Cup Final | :36:03. | :36:13. | |
:36:13. | :36:16. | ||
very nicely. It is relegation for Adam de Comer are of the left | :36:16. | :36:22. | |
thinking I wonder if we had brought in John Brown a little bit earlier? | :36:22. | :36:29. | |
Yes, and considering how much was raining down on the board when they | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
did that. He has got the players doing as well as he could possibly | :36:33. | :36:38. | |
do. He is really unlucky in the end not to get it to the last game of | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
the season. There is some hope going forward but in the end it is | :36:43. | :36:49. | |
what we expected. We did not know if they would be in the league. It | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
is no surprise that they find themselves down there. I think they | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
have a guy who deserves at least a season and possibly a bit of time | :36:57. | :37:07. | |
:37:07. | :37:10. | ||
and a couple of quid to try to get They would have to restructure | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
financially accordingly would they not? I do not know. The players | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
will be there whether they are in the First Division or in the | :37:19. | :37:24. | |
Premier League. I think the ad in a good place to come back up, they | :37:24. | :37:27. | |
will go into next season as favourites to come back up, I think | :37:28. | :37:37. | |
they can do it. Obviously, in Stuart Armstrong, he has been voted | :37:37. | :37:41. | |
the Young Player of the Year, he has got a real talent. They have | :37:41. | :37:51. | |
:37:51. | :37:57. | ||
got a few real talents up there. From midfield up to the attack and | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
saying that some ways it is a bit disappointing for Dundee United | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
this season. Perhaps this has been a bit of a disappointment but once | :38:06. | :38:11. | |
again the new manager who is in and has a chance to put his impact on | :38:11. | :38:21. | |
the team. They could be a very strong force next season. Stuart | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
Armstrong is almost an elder statesman compared with some of the | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
dies in the United team at the moment. It is a feature of the SPL | :38:30. | :38:35. | |
at the moment, young players getting the chance. Everybody is | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
trying to cut back on wages, younger players are going to get a | :38:39. | :38:45. | |
chance. That can only be good for the national game, for the Scotland | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
manager, that these boys are getting a chance to come in and | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
hold on to their skills and get competitive football at some -- | :38:54. | :39:04. | |
:39:04. | :39:10. | ||
such a young age. 28 goals from this man. Yes, obviously they have | :39:10. | :39:17. | |
several players who have scored well. His general standard of | :39:17. | :39:24. | |
strength this season is off the scale. It is painful for every Hibs | :39:24. | :39:30. | |
fan that he has got one game left. There is great maturity about the | :39:30. | :39:36. | |
player. And part of the Celtic plan for the Cup final next weekend has | :39:36. | :39:42. | |
got to be stopping him. Yes, he creates chances for himself. It is | :39:42. | :39:51. | |
not dependent on anyone. Even from the Ed Balls he has agreed strike | :39:51. | :39:57. | |
on him. It will be difficult to keep him quiet. Celtic will have a | :39:57. | :40:04. | |
plan to do that. The football writer's Manager of the Year will | :40:04. | :40:14. | |
:40:14. | :40:24. | ||
have a plan to stop benefits. -- Griffiths. I am delighted for Neil | :40:24. | :40:31. | |
Lennon, he deserved an award. You have got to go and do it. Celtic | :40:31. | :40:38. | |
have come back from European games and they have done enough. He has | :40:38. | :40:42. | |
organised that team and got the best out of them. They have played | :40:42. | :40:50. | |
in an attacking style. He will add goals and also a bit of creation. | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
Yes, he deserved to win it. You still have to go out there and do | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
it but in the end it comes back to Europe and Barcelona. That is the | :41:00. | :41:08. | |
thing that will stick in their minds. That night against Barcelona. | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
And Gary Cooper, we saw question- marks about his future at Celtic. | :41:12. | :41:17. | |
Like all the teams in the SPL there is that uncertainty about who will | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
be in the squad come the start of next season. Because they have done | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
so well in Europe and the have that experience now, teams in the | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
Premier League and SPL will start to look at that. Barcelona has | :41:32. | :41:39. | |
really turned a few heads and they deserve credit for that. The | :41:39. | :41:45. | |
manager has risen this season. If they do not win the Cup there will | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
be a tinge of disappointment, but if they do that, they are | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
favourites to do that, to finish the job and get the domestic double, | :41:52. | :41:58. | |
I think that would really make it a wonderful season for them. Let's | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
look at the final placings in the look at the final placings in the | :42:02. | :42:08. | |
Premier League. The final winning margin is 16 points. Well done to | :42:08. | :42:14. | |
Inverness and the Ross County. Hibernian in Europe finish top of | :42:15. | :42:21. | |
the bottom six. Next up ate his eyes down for the Scottish Cup | :42:21. | :42:31. | |
:42:31. | :42:38. | ||
final next Sunday and we will be I still get nervous today. Jonathan | :42:38. | :42:44. | |
has an identity crisis on the road to Camden. Pat Nevin predict how | :42:44. | :42:50. | |
the game will be won and lost. We hear from the men on both sides. | :42:50. | :42:58. | |
When I was growing up Kenny Dalglish was the man to beat. | :42:58. | :43:02. | |
Celtic's Welsh connection and the manager was my dream of the double. | :43:02. | :43:10. | |
It is a showcase and B game we are dealing with here. And this man has | :43:10. | :43:12. | |
plans to pocket a Cup winner's plans to pocket a Cup winner's | :43:12. | :43:22. | |
:43:22. | :43:29. | ||
For now, that is it from me and the teams here as the SPL season comes | :43:29. | :43:36. | |
to applause. Celebration time before a ball is get in earnest. | :43:36. | :43:46. | |
