This could be something quite
sensational! | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
What a goal!
That is outstanding! | 0:00:10 | 0:00:18 | |
What a brilliant strike that is!
Oh! Yes! | 0:00:18 | 0:00:29 | |
Oh! Yes!
Oh, it's unbelievable! Unbelievable! | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
What a finish | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
Oh, it's unbelievable! Unbelievable!
What a finish! The season of their | 0:00:39 | 0:00:40 | |
dreams. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
With the international break
out of the way, | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
it's all about the chaotic countdown
to Christmas now. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
A bulging fixture list,
challenges aplenty for every side | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
in the Ladbrokes Premiership. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
And speaking of challenges,
we're joined by these two. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
As always, poised and ready
to upset the apple cart - | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
Steven Thompson and Michael Stewart. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:57 | |
We start at Ibrox. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Hamilton Academical without a win
there in the league since 1926. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
Rangers interim boss Graeme Murty
looking for a third win in a row | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
since taking the reigns
for a second time. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
Commentary comes from John Barnes. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
COMMENTATOR: Rangers make one in
forced change from the side that | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
beat Partick Thistle a fortnight
ago, Declan John is ill, so Lee | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Hodson comes in to take his place.
Hamilton manager Martin Canning | 0:01:23 | 0:01:28 | |
sticks by the same starting line-up
that drew with Aberdeen last time | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
out as they look to extend a
three-game unbeaten run. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:37 | |
Warm reception for the former
Rangers player Fernando Rixon as he | 0:01:37 | 0:01:44 | |
takes his place inside the stadium.
He is still battling motor neuron | 0:01:44 | 0:01:54 | |
He is still battling motor neuron
disease -- Fernando Ricksen. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
Kenny Miller through to Windass. A
good delivery for Morelos. He really | 0:01:56 | 0:02:07 | |
should have scored there. He got the
header all wrong. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:13 | |
Windass looking very lively. Another
powerful run releases Morelos. Still | 0:02:13 | 0:02:25 | |
Alfredo Morelos... I think Gary
Woods got a fingertip to that one. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
Denying the Colombian striker. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
Rangers looking to make it three
league wins in a row for the first | 0:02:35 | 0:02:40 | |
time since last December. Alex Scott
ditch -- Gogic getting a yellow | 0:02:40 | 0:02:47 | |
card. A bit of pulling on Morelos.
Bit of a soft one. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:58 | |
Candeias with the corner. Way by
Woods. Morelos... And back off the | 0:02:58 | 0:03:09 | |
bar! McCrorie can't not in the
rebound. Another glorious chance for | 0:03:09 | 0:03:15 | |
Rangers. Two chances, in fact. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
McCrorie, he didn't look up. His
past is intercepted by David | 0:03:21 | 0:03:27 | |
Templeton, and he rounds the
goalkeeper. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:35 | |
goalkeeper. The former Rangers
player David Templeton scores for | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
Hamilton Accies three games in a
row. His fourth of the season. He | 0:03:38 | 0:03:44 | |
was composed as he rounded
Foderingham. And despite the efforts | 0:03:44 | 0:03:50 | |
of Hodson, he couldn't prevent it
going in. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
Mackinnon. In towards Templeton,
he's having another pop... He | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
certainly is lively this afternoon,
David Trimble done. He certainly | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
regains his fitness from the start
of the season. -- David Templeton. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:16 | |
Tavernier, in towards Candeias. Here
is Morelos... And away at the back | 0:04:20 | 0:04:28 | |
post. Morelos didn't get enough
contact on the back | 0:04:28 | 0:04:36 | |
contact on the back flick. Taking a
chance, Kenny Miller putting it | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
through to Morelos with a chance...
Another glorious opportunity wasted | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
by the Rangers striker. He seemed to
get right underneath that one. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:53 | |
Jack with the cross in. Hamilton
happy to get it clear. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:04 | |
happy to get it clear. Here's
Bingham, holding it up well for Greg | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
Docherty. Getting away from
Tavernier. In towards Lyon! 2-0 to | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
be Accies! On the counterattack, the
sucker punch. Darren Lyon's first | 0:05:12 | 0:05:20 | |
goal of the season. He was one time
in the youth ranks at Rangers. This | 0:05:20 | 0:05:27 | |
afternoon, he is delivering for
Accies's senior team. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
Still won't turn for Herrera.
Candeias to Tavernier. Header at the | 0:05:33 | 0:05:45 | |
back post from Windass. Touched away
by Woods. Superbly saved. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:54 | |
Another corner for Rangers. The
header from Wilson! And it's off the | 0:05:54 | 0:06:00 | |
crossbar again! It's just not
Rangers's day. Jack with the effort | 0:06:00 | 0:06:08 | |
from the rebound, and a frustrating
afternoon for Graeme Murty and his | 0:06:08 | 0:06:15 | |
team. Here is a chance for Herrera.
Blocked by the boot of Gary Woods | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
this time. The Accies defence stands
firm. Tavernier, Hardie tripped by | 0:06:20 | 0:06:31 | |
Gogic. It's going to be a second
yellow card for the Accies defender, | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
and that means red. Reduced to ten
men in stoppage time. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:44 | |
WHISTLE
That is full-time, and the | 0:06:46 | 0:06:56 | |
That is full-time, and the boos ring
around, Hamilton Accies celebrate as | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
they picked up their first league
win at Ibrox the 91 years. Rangers | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
0- two Hamilton. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:04 | |
Hamilton's first win over Rangers in
1987, how much of a support is was | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
was that? When you talk about so
many years since | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
was that? When you talk about so
many years since they have beaten | 0:07:17 | 0:07:18 | |
Rangers and 91 years since they have
won at Ibrox, you think, yes, but | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
when you have players of the quality
of David Gordon, you see Rangers | 0:07:23 | 0:07:29 | |
making the stakes. They are
architects of their own downfall. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
David Templeton has so much quality.
He leaves Templeton the dead. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
Fortunate that Hodson... He doesn't
know he is getting back. Great | 0:07:37 | 0:07:41 | |
composure to round the keeper like
that and slide it in against his | 0:07:41 | 0:07:46 | |
former club. When you have players
of that quality, you always have a | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |
chance, and the desire. Look at the
desire from Hamilton Accies. Doherty | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
is up in support, driving forward.
Lyon at the back post, the desire to | 0:07:55 | 0:08:01 | |
get in and score the goal,
unfortunately for Rangers yesterday, | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
it was lacking in their performance.
For Hamilton, they had it in spades. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
Brilliant counterattacking | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
For Hamilton, they had it in spades.
Brilliant counterattacking football. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:13 | |
Hamilton have not had the best of
seasons, but never write off the | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
Accies. They have been decent of
late, especially yesterday. Great | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
result for them. In terms of Graeme
Murty, it had been going well for | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
him in terms of being made into ring
boss at Rangers, but Rangers had | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
plenty of chances yesterday.
Morelos hasn't | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
plenty of chances yesterday.
Morelos hasn't scored in nine games | 0:08:32 | 0:08:33 | |
now. He scored eight in his first
nine games. He has gone off the | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
boil. He has a confidence issue, if
you ask me. He does nothing | 0:08:37 | 0:08:41 | |
specifically good in terms of
movement. I think you have got to | 0:08:41 | 0:08:48 | |
hit the target. That is the one
prerequisite as a striker and you | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
four yards out with a header. Look
at the defending again from | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
Hamilton, Gogic shown away from
goal, he hesitates and allows them | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
to skip past him. You have two hit
the target. Morelos, again, his | 0:08:59 | 0:09:05 | |
opportunity at the back post, free
header. Kenny Miller is free as | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
well. They are going to a possession
and create opportunities. Xavier | 0:09:08 | 0:09:19 | |
Tomas watches it go past him. It
doesn't come off for Morelos. A | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
terrific defensive header from
Tomos. This was harder, he is under | 0:09:24 | 0:09:33 | |
pressure. As I have repeated 2-3
times, hit the target. He skips it | 0:09:33 | 0:09:37 | |
over. This is emblematic of Rangers'
day in terms of chances and missing | 0:09:37 | 0:09:42 | |
with the header. In the dying
seconds, Herrera with the spin. You | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
can't take anything away, yes,
Rangers were profligate, don't take | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
anything away from | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Rangers were profligate, don't take
anything away from Hamilton, a | 0:09:52 | 0:09:52 | |
remarkable performance and result.
Where does it leave us in the terms | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
of searching for a new Rangers
manager? Graeme Murty user, didn't | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
have a chance long-term, but he
wasn't helped by yesterday's result, | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
does this mean Rangers speed up the
process? The need for the board to | 0:10:04 | 0:10:11 | |
act, they are in transition, they
need leadership, Rangers, but I an | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
surprise they have waited a month.
In the meantime, what we have got is | 0:10:16 | 0:10:23 | |
Ibrox used to be a fortress for
Rangers, that is not the case any | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
more. Looking at the start, the
calendar year, 2017, six games out | 0:10:25 | 0:10:33 | |
of 16 won, not what you expect from
a home form for | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
of 16 won, not what you expect from
a home form for Rangers. It shows | 0:10:37 | 0:10:38 | |
you that as we said, they have | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
a home form for Rangers. It shows
you that as we said, they have been | 0:10:42 | 0:10:43 | |
without a leader. There hasn't been
enough real direction and grit at | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
the top end of the club. Pedro
Caixinha, we know that wasn't as | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
excess. We have got to make sure
that the next appointment is the | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
right one. The gap between them and
Celtic is big, and they had to get | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
the right man in charge if they want
to try to close that. OK. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:07 | |
Next weekend, Motherwell take
on Celtic in the League Cup Final. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
This weekend they'd warm
up away to Aberdeen. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
COMMENTATOR: Aberdeen have Graeme
Shinnie suspended. Considine comes | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
in and skippers the side. Adam
Rooney also starts as Greg Stewart | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
and Stevie Meade dropped to the
bench. Motherwell revert to a back | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
four with Richard Tait moving to
right back, Liam Grimshaw makes his | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
first start of the season, Ryan
Bowman returns to partner Louis | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
Moult in attack.
Aberdeen have won the last five | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
league meetings with Motherwell.
Here comes Dunn. Aimed towards the | 0:11:38 | 0:11:45 | |
back post for Roman. It was
Considine that managed to get his | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
head on that one. Bowman was waiting
to pounce. | 0:11:50 | 0:12:01 | |
to pounce. Arneson with the Aberdeen
free kick. Considine. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:11 | |
Here is Considine. Christie did well
to regain composure to get that | 0:12:11 | 0:12:17 | |
cross in. Rooney with the little
flick at the near post. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:24 | |
Motherwell, of course, with the
League Cup in my phonics we can. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
Here is Ryan Christie for Aberdeen.
Driving forward there. Just not | 0:12:31 | 0:12:39 | |
enough power in the shot to beat
Trevor Carson. Grimshaw to Moult. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:49 | |
Now Tait. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
Here's Bowman, using his strength to
hold off Considine. Grimshaw with | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
the shot. Turned away by Joe Lewis.
Grimshaw was in there. Trying his | 0:13:00 | 0:13:06 | |
luck with the shot. Signed from
Preston in the summer. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:13 | |
Here's Dunn. In towards Moult.
Grimshaw's there. Rose with the | 0:13:14 | 0:13:25 | |
shot. Lewis making the save. Andy
Rose off his right foot there. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:32 | |
Grimshaw again. McHugh picking it
up. Aberdeen can't get it clear at | 0:13:32 | 0:13:42 | |
the moment. The wind is not helping
them either. Louis Moult teeing it | 0:13:42 | 0:13:49 | |
up for Rose. Lewis had to make the
save again. Andy Rose has had a | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
couple of efforts in the last few
minutes, but the Aberdeen keeper's | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
up to the task. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:06 | |
up to the task.
Here's McLean. Given the break still | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
going, McLean. Too high with that
effort. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:14 | |
A wee bit of good fortune favouring
Kenny Mclean. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:24 | |
Here's Tansey under pressure from
Grimshaw. A handball from Andy | 0:14:24 | 0:14:30 | |
Considine. An opponent was trying to
get away from him. That will be a | 0:14:30 | 0:14:36 | |
yellow card for the Aberdeen skipper
for the day. Here's Richard Tait. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
It's Louis Moult... | 0:14:42 | 0:14:48 | |
It's Louis Moult... It's 1-0
Motherwell! It's that man Louis | 0:14:48 | 0:14:49 | |
Moult again! Rising unchallenged.
The long, diagonal free kick, and | 0:14:49 | 0:14:59 | |
Moult picked his spot. His 13th of
the season. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:06 | |
Tait finding Cadden, up against
McKenna. Still Chris Cadden. Into | 0:15:08 | 0:15:16 | |
Moult... That's brilliant!
Outstanding finishing from Louis | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
Moult! It's a double for the
Motherwell marksman. He was the | 0:15:20 | 0:15:31 | |
scourge in the League Cup earlier
this season, and he is delivering | 0:15:31 | 0:15:34 | |
again this afternoon. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:43 | |
Steve May has two harbours, looking
for support. No one arrive in quick | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
enough. Here is Mackay-Steven. The
Aberdeen fans claiming for a | 0:15:47 | 0:15:55 | |
penalty. They felt it came off an
arm, but I think we will fight it | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
did come off the chest of the
Motherwell full-back. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:05 | |
McHugh in there. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:14 | |
McHugh in there. Here's Kenny
Mclean. Looking for Wright. The | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
substitute delivering it. Stevie
May. Turned away by Trevor Carson, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:24 | |
good handling by the Motherwell
keeper. Positive stuff from | 0:16:24 | 0:16:30 | |
Aberdeen, but they can't find the
breakthrough. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:32 | |
The standard the play is set in
terms of performance work today. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
They are aware of that. We spoke at
length after the game in the | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
dressing room, and sometimes you
have a bad day, that was a bad day | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
today and we need to pick the bones
of that and make sure we are better | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
for the next performance, and make
sure we are more competitive. We | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
have do make sure we can hopefully
impose our game plan on opposition, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
which we didn't do today.
To a man, we were terrific. The | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
energy, we played a different way
today. They bought into it, I can do | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
whatever I want technically, but if
they do apply and put their minds to | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
it, it is worth nothing. We were
excellent today. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
A big win for Motherwell. Steven
Thomson, you were there, was a | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
deserved? Yeah, it was deserved. As
poor a performance from Aberdeen, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
but full credit to Motherwell, they
started with a surprise | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
but full credit to Motherwell, they
started with a surprise formation, | 0:17:25 | 0:17:26 | |
4-4-2 diamond formation. It had them
flummoxed in the opening 20 Mehmet. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
They created a number of chances,
Motherwell. A decent snapshot. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:38 | |
Aberdeen were completely at sea the
15-20 minutes. They change their | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
formation. Rose and the keeper don't
know much about it. They changed | 0:17:41 | 0:17:47 | |
their formation to deal with how
much they were under siege, they | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
went to a back three. It helped them
stemmed the flow a wee bit. Another | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
save from Joe Lewis. Aberdeen made
the | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
save from Joe Lewis. Aberdeen made
the change and it stemmed the tide a | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
wee bit, but Aberdeen were so, so
poor. Motherwell outstanding. The | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
perfect warm up for the League Cup
final for Motherwell. Full Louis | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
Moult in this kind of | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
final for Motherwell. Full Louis
Moult in this kind of form, will | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Motherwell beat Celtic? They
certainly have a guy that knows | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
where the back of the net is in
Louis Moult. We have do analyse this | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
goal, Ocon not looking at the ball,
in-flight. It is the first time he | 0:18:19 | 0:18:26 | |
checks to see where it was, it is on
top of him. He loses Louis Moult and | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
it is a fantastic finish to drop
over the top of Joe Lewis. This one | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
as well, this is a really great
finish. When the ball makes contact, | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
it's behind him. To scoop that
around and find the top corner, that | 0:18:37 | 0:18:43 | |
it's behind him. To scoop that
around and find the top corner, that | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
is a fantastic goal. Unbelievable.
Will they have a chance against | 0:18:44 | 0:18:47 | |
Celtic? I don't think they will be
them. I think Celtic will win it, | 0:18:47 | 0:18:53 | |
but with Louis Moult in the team,
anything is possible. 50 goals in 95 | 0:18:53 | 0:18:58 | |
appearances. I will chuck a stab at
you. What went wrong for Aberdeen? | 0:18:58 | 0:19:03 | |
Everything. They were poor
defensively, their passing was | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
Everything. They were poor
defensively, their passing was so | 0:19:07 | 0:19:07 | |
slack, they were toothless in
attack. The delivery from wide areas | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
was a problem for them. In the wide
areas, it was his weaker foot, but | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
kicks it over the bar. This one
coming in from Chez Logan, again | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
hitting the first man. Low quality
in the delivery. That was the story | 0:19:19 | 0:19:24 | |
of the day. Ryan Christie, he had
4-5 corners that hit the first man. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:29 | |
This would into the second half,
Considine, his weaker foot, but it | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
goes out for a throw in. It shows
you examples of wide area | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
opportunities, the crossing is so
bad. You look at Bees does guys, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
Niall McGinn and Johnny Hayes, that
is pinpoint. Real desire to get in. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
The second one, Hayes to McGinn,
there was talk of him potentially | 0:19:46 | 0:19:53 | |
going back to Aberdeen. There is no
doubt, with two of them out of the | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
doubt, with two of them out of the
team, it has weakened them, that | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
they are second in the table. They
have found a way to win games. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:06 | |
McGinn is the biggest assist maker
in the league, Niall McGinn | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
converted most of the chances from
Johnny Hayes. They have lost those | 0:20:10 | 0:20:14 | |
players, a big miners, but they are
finding ways to get results, which | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
is a positive. We have spoken a lot
about Derek McInnes in recent weeks, | 0:20:18 | 0:20:22 | |
especially with the speculative
linking him with the register. You | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
love this question, doing the post
match interview, it was Doherty | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
instead, it is it unsettling things
Aberdeen? Iden think so. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:41 | |
Aberdeen? Iden think so.
You can't put the poor performance | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
down to being asked that question.
Is he still going to get it? Is he | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
still going to get it? I am not as
confident as I was, but it that way. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
He might not be the next Rangers
manager. Backtracking! He is | 0:20:50 | 0:20:56 | |
reversing, it is official. Nobody
knows! Using adamant a few weeks | 0:20:56 | 0:21:01 | |
ago. I was spectating, all right?!
Let's wrap it for the moment. | 0:21:01 | 0:21:06 | |
A terrible run for St Johnstone. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
Six games without a goal
as they headed to take on Hibs. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
The Easter Road side flying,
on a run of four straight wins. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
COMMENTATOR: Hibs looking for the
fourth considered of win, making one | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
change to the side that beat Dundee
a couple of weeks back. Incomes | 0:21:20 | 0:21:22 | |
Anthony Stokes. St Johnstone are in
contrasting form, six games without | 0:21:22 | 0:21:29 | |
a victory, three changes, income
Davidson, O'Halloran and Liam Craig. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:38 | |
O'Halloran steps away from David
Gray. Looked like he was taken down, | 0:21:38 | 0:21:45 | |
the referee saw nothing. It gives
Hibs a chance to come forward. Boyle | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
lays it into the path of Anthony
Stokes. That was an opportunity for | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
Hibernian. Anthony Stokes knows it.
Always rising. Neil Lennon trying to | 0:21:53 | 0:22:00 | |
get some instructions on as his side
have a bit of defending to do. Liam | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
Craig, former Hibs player. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:10 | |
Craig, former Hibs player.
O'Halloran, Austin takes over and | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
tries to feed it O'Halloran. All a
bit scrappy. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:22 | |
bit scrappy. Back to O'Halloran, and
it is off the crossbar! Fabulous | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
save from Marciano to deny Liam
Craig, who is still in possession. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:32 | |
Eventually Martin Boyle gets the
challenging. Fantastic reactions | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
here from Ofir Marciano to keep out
Liam Craig's shot. Barker has looked | 0:22:36 | 0:22:42 | |
right in the opening exchanges.
Wraps the likeliest player to create | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
something for Hibs. There is Martin
Boyle with a swerving shot. , | 0:22:46 | 0:22:54 | |
forcing is on the club into a say. A
lot of movement on the ball -- | 0:22:54 | 0:22:59 | |
perhaps the likeliest player. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:00 | |
Still looking for a first goal in
seven games, Steven Anderson | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
climbing, breaks back to him. The
volley cleared off the line by John | 0:23:08 | 0:23:16 | |
McGinn, it was. Great defending from
the centre-back. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:24 | |
the centre-back. McGinn's pars is
blocked. St Johnstone might threaten | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
here on the counterattack. It's
Forster. He has O'Halloran. Men in | 0:23:26 | 0:23:33 | |
the middle, goes for gold himself
and Marciano forced to make the | 0:23:33 | 0:23:37 | |
save. It was a tight angle, but he
hit the target, O'Halloran. Neil | 0:23:37 | 0:23:45 | |
Lennon and code trying to plot a way
through. Martin Boyle with an | 0:23:45 | 0:23:51 | |
opportunity, breaks for Ambrose...
Good save, is on the Clark! He saw | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
that one late, it went through the
legs of Simon Murray. He may have | 0:23:55 | 0:24:00 | |
just got a touch on it. Clerks
picking out a boot. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
Ambrose giving it away. Steven
MacLean is in. Is this the goals and | 0:24:07 | 0:24:11 | |
Johnstone have been waiting for?
Still, it won't come. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:19 | |
Still, it won't come. O'Halloran
now, Maclean to gay heavy first a | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
chair. Forcing it wide. Getting a
shot away. St Johnstone have carved | 0:24:22 | 0:24:30 | |
out the better opportunities in the
match. Here is Maclean. Foster now. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:36 | |
Flights it towards the back post.
Davidson arriving. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:46 | |
Davidson arriving. They have waited
so long. The 23rd of September, they | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
last scored, Murray Davidson got
that one. Here he is again at Easter | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
Road to make the breakthrough. | 0:24:54 | 0:25:01 | |
A bit of the game to go as McGinn
flashes one in. That was not far | 0:25:04 | 0:25:10 | |
away. Getting a better look at it
here. Inches wide from McGinn. Still | 0:25:10 | 0:25:17 | |
Hibs press. Pressing for an
equaliser, trying to preserve an | 0:25:17 | 0:25:24 | |
unbeaten run that stretches back
four games. This is Boyle. Was he | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
taken down there? It is a penalty
kick, Craig Thomson indicating a | 0:25:28 | 0:25:33 | |
handball by Joe Shaughnessy. It was
rushed in, the ball came off his | 0:25:33 | 0:25:41 | |
arm, it may look harsh, but Hibs
have a chance to score the equaliser | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
in injury time. Hibs now have surely
salvaged a point. Anthony Stokes's | 0:25:44 | 0:25:51 | |
ninth goal of the season, coolness
personified. St Johnstone denied a | 0:25:51 | 0:25:57 | |
victory. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
It looked like they were going to
end that winless streak. Here we go. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:06 | |
They might yet have the opportunity
to come back. O'Halloran running at | 0:26:06 | 0:26:11 | |
Stephenson. The cross and Davidson
again. Steven MacLean surely! He has | 0:26:11 | 0:26:18 | |
won it for Saints! Incredible scenes
at Easter Road. Marciano kept out | 0:26:18 | 0:26:26 | |
the first effort, couldn't do it
again. And Steven MacLean wins it | 0:26:26 | 0:26:30 | |
for St Johnstone. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
A Paul Golding concede with the last
kick of the game. We need to be more | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
streetwise. We have shown a lot of
it this season, there was a flatness | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
today, and I understand it is a
momentum break. St Johnstone know | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
how to play the game. Streetwise,
like I said before the game. We | 0:26:45 | 0:26:50 | |
didn't take them lightly, but there
was a lack of urgency about us in | 0:26:50 | 0:26:55 | |
the final third.
Great team performance and I am | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
really proud of them. We have had a
tough few weeks. It | 0:26:58 | 0:27:07 | |
tough few weeks. It is the case that
people doubt you on those runs, but | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
surely come I never doubted them,
and the staff have never doubted | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
them. Overall, we probably deserved
it. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:20 | |
620 minutes of goalless football
finally comes to an end for St | 0:27:20 | 0:27:24 | |
Johnstone. The drought is over.
Yeah. It was a marked | 0:27:24 | 0:27:30 | |
Johnstone. The drought is over.
Yeah. It was a marked difference | 0:27:30 | 0:27:30 | |
yesterday from St Johnstone. It was
only just before the international | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
break we were talking about the lack
of conviction in the final third. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
This is a chance that eventually
Liam Craig hits of the crossbar. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
Look at the bodies. Five bodies in
the box as he strikes that. They | 0:27:41 | 0:27:46 | |
weren't getting bodies forward. They
worked on getting bodies forward. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:51 | |
Look at that, six players desperate
to get up and attack and counter on | 0:27:51 | 0:27:59 | |
Hibs. Michael O'Halloran has the
strike. The desire to get forward | 0:27:59 | 0:28:06 | |
and put Hibs under pressure, it was
noticeable all afternoon. Steven | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
MacLean, and Cummins as well, they
get the ball, but it is a poor touch | 0:28:11 | 0:28:16 | |
from Steven MacLean. Normally, you
expect him to get that under control | 0:28:16 | 0:28:19 | |
quickly. At that point, it was still
0-0. Just watch Murray Davidson | 0:28:19 | 0:28:25 | |
here. We have tagged him. He makes
the deep lying run into the box, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:30 | |
times it really well to get on the
end of it, but Marciano has got to | 0:28:30 | 0:28:34 | |
come and clean that out. He has got
his hands to deal with that. As I | 0:28:34 | 0:28:39 | |
said, all afternoon, the hunger and
desire to get forward, look at that. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:42 | |
Four bodies inside the box. This is
the last minute. Murray Davidson | 0:28:42 | 0:28:49 | |
again, and Steven MacLean, just
after being pegged back to 1-1 in | 0:28:49 | 0:28:53 | |
injury time. St Johnstone weren't
going to settle for the point | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
injury time. St Johnstone weren't
going to settle for the point away | 0:28:56 | 0:28:57 | |
from home. They wanted to get that
win. And a marked difference from a | 0:28:57 | 0:29:00 | |
couple of weeks ago. Full credit to
them, because it takes character to | 0:29:00 | 0:29:04 | |
do that. We don't mind speculative
on the show, as we demonstrated with | 0:29:04 | 0:29:09 | |
the Derek McInnes chat early on, but
good timing, this victory for St | 0:29:09 | 0:29:14 | |
Johnstone. The Northern Ireland job
might be coming up, should Michael | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
O'Neill decide to join us in
Scotland? Do you want me to say | 0:29:17 | 0:29:22 | |
Tommy Wright will get it? If he was
asked, I don't think he could say | 0:29:22 | 0:29:26 | |
no. It would be a massive honour for
him. Would you go along with that? I | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
think so. He has done a wonderful
job at St Johnstone. He said | 0:29:30 | 0:29:36 | |
himself, it is a dream job, and if
offered it, I would be surprised if | 0:29:36 | 0:29:40 | |
he knocked it back. I go back to the
point, St Johnstone were pegged back | 0:29:40 | 0:29:48 | |
with the penalty to make it 1-1 late
on, but | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
with the penalty to make it 1-1 late
on, but they had the desire. Let's | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
look at this. Was it a penalty? Not
for me. Not for me. Craig Thomson | 0:29:52 | 0:29:59 | |
signals handball. There is no way he
can get out of the way. Look at the | 0:29:59 | 0:30:05 | |
tackle. Are you saying the referee
got it wrong but it is still a | 0:30:05 | 0:30:10 | |
penalty? He got it wrong but got it
right. I think that is a penalty for | 0:30:10 | 0:30:14 | |
the challenge that Shaughnessy goes
in with his hybrid. It is not a | 0:30:14 | 0:30:20 | |
handball Ben? Definitely not. I
think it is a penalty for the | 0:30:20 | 0:30:25 | |
challenge. A | 0:30:25 | 0:30:26 | |
think it is a penalty for the
challenge. A flat performance from | 0:30:26 | 0:30:27 | |
Hibs? Neil Lennon touched on it, the
international break came at a bad | 0:30:27 | 0:30:30 | |
time. The opposite can be said for
St Johnstone. The international | 0:30:30 | 0:30:35 | |
break gave them time to work on
things that were wrong. They put it | 0:30:35 | 0:30:40 | |
into practice yesterday with a
determined professional performance. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:44 | |
Next to Dens Park. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:44 | |
Five straight defeats for Dundee, | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
Neil McCann desperate to stop
the rot against a Kilmarnock side | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
unbeaten in their last
five away matches. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
Dundee playing in their third kit.
Three changes made by Neil McCann | 0:30:54 | 0:30:59 | |
after the loss at Easter Road. | 0:30:59 | 0:31:07 | |
after the loss at Easter Road.
Kilmarnock name an unchanged side | 0:31:07 | 0:31:08 | |
from the team that won at
Murrayfield. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:14 | |
Out to Kammy curve. Battling for it
with Deacon. Forward onto Jordan | 0:31:19 | 0:31:26 | |
Jones. Got good acceleration. Jones,
with one thing on his mind. Inside | 0:31:26 | 0:31:32 | |
two players. Lifts it over the bar
of parish. A couple of goals this | 0:31:32 | 0:31:37 | |
season, Jordan Jones very quick.
Have to cut back inside on the right | 0:31:37 | 0:31:42 | |
peg, away from O'Hara. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
Onto Deacon, good linkup play from
Dundee. Deacon against Burke, back | 0:31:48 | 0:31:56 | |
inside to Kamara. Kamara lifts it up
well. | 0:31:56 | 0:32:04 | |
well. Interesting lift of the foot
there. Decent header from Haber. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:09 | |
Kilmarnock with the long ball, not
dealt with by O'Dea. Stephen | 0:32:14 | 0:32:21 | |
O'Donnell, linking again with Jones.
Sends it through for McKenzie. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:25 | |
McKenzie had to get it back. Kris
Boyd was running it well. The | 0:32:25 | 0:32:30 | |
acknowledgement all it could have
been. Again, decent play, down the | 0:32:30 | 0:32:34 | |
right-hand side from Kilmarnock.
Dundee scored only three goals in | 0:32:34 | 0:32:40 | |
their last five games. Finding it a
struggle to find the back of the | 0:32:40 | 0:32:45 | |
net. That looked very heavy and
O'Dea will see the yellow card, | 0:32:45 | 0:32:52 | |
unsurprisingly. Taking out Brophy.
The yellow card, he needs to be | 0:32:52 | 0:33:01 | |
checked as well. Brophy took it
well. Shoulder into the chest. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:07 | |
O'Donnell, good trade. Aurtenetxe
reads it well and goes on the drive. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:18 | |
Very experienced player in the La
Liga, trying to make something | 0:33:18 | 0:33:25 | |
happen for the home side. That's a
great little ball, very quick off | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
his line was MacDonald. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:36 | |
his line was MacDonald. Aurtenetxe,
great little pass in and that's a | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
great block from the keeper. The
corner, easily dealt with. Miss read | 0:33:38 | 0:33:45 | |
by Kamara. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:51 | |
by Kamara. Erwin is through, this is
the opportunity that they wanted. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
Kilmarnock with a chance. Well,
Elliott Parish came out to present | 0:33:54 | 0:34:00 | |
the target and did just enough, but
Jones played through Lee Erwin and | 0:34:00 | 0:34:05 | |
this is the kind of chance you want
and you have to say at the very end | 0:34:05 | 0:34:10 | |
it was pretty tame. He knew it.
McKenzie has made a great run. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:17 | |
That's going to be a red card. He's
been booked already. It's a second | 0:34:17 | 0:34:23 | |
yellow. The red card for O'Dea, sent
off with seven minutes to go. Second | 0:34:23 | 0:34:28 | |
red card of the season. Sent off
against St Johnstone with seven | 0:34:28 | 0:34:34 | |
minutes to go, as he takes down
number seven, which is not lucky for | 0:34:34 | 0:34:38 | |
him, and Dundee are down to ten. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:45 | |
him, and Dundee are down to ten.
Alan Power, had a little bit of it | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
but too straight, and easy takes for
Elliott Parish. Dundee seeking their | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
first clean sheet in the league this
season. Under pressure now. McKenzie | 0:34:51 | 0:34:58 | |
plays it in, Brophy, hits the
crossbar and Gordon Greer goes up. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:03 | |
The goalkeeper yelling for it to be
cleared. Brophy almost winning it | 0:35:03 | 0:35:07 | |
for Kilmarnock. Henry is furious
that the defending. He got himself | 0:35:07 | 0:35:14 | |
free, but rattled the frame. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
that the defending. He got himself
free, but rattled the frame. Today | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
gave us a good point against a side
that have gone away from home to | 0:35:18 | 0:35:22 | |
some of the biggest grounds that
we've got to offer and picked up | 0:35:22 | 0:35:25 | |
points, so I'm pleased with it.
Always want three points, but I | 0:35:25 | 0:35:29 | |
can't be too harsh on them,
particularly when you are down to | 0:35:29 | 0:35:32 | |
ten men and they are pushing, so
overall it's uneven night. The first | 0:35:32 | 0:35:37 | |
half was pretty much a nonevent. The
second half opened a bullet orbit | 0:35:37 | 0:35:41 | |
and obviously we're disappointed
that we missed one great 111 near | 0:35:41 | 0:35:46 | |
the end and Brophy came off the
bench and had a good header that hit | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
the crossbar. We may be feeling a
bit hard done by, that we could have | 0:35:49 | 0:35:53 | |
mixed the three points. I like to
talk up Scottish football but | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
probably the worst game I've seen so
far this season. Neil McCann won't | 0:35:57 | 0:36:00 | |
care because after five straight
defeats he finally gets a point. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:05 | |
Yeah, it wasn't a classic but they
can take positives from the game. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:08 | |
They got a clean sheet and stopped
the rot and after losing five | 0:36:08 | 0:36:21 | |
the rot and after losing five games
in a row, any point will do, no | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
matter how you get | 0:36:23 | 0:36:24 | |
in a row, any point will do, no
matter how you get it. | 0:36:24 | 0:36:24 | |
in a row, any point will do, no
matter how you get it. Brophy and | 0:36:24 | 0:36:24 | |
the substitutes almost made the day.
You heard Steve Clarke saying there | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
will be a little bit disappointed
but keep an eye on the Erwin that | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
wins the header at the near post and
he drives all the weight of the | 0:36:30 | 0:36:33 | |
park. No challenge whatsoever from
the Dundee players. Scott Allan | 0:36:33 | 0:36:37 | |
eventually tracks it back. Get the
good first touch. A little bit of | 0:36:37 | 0:36:40 | |
composure, slide in between the
legs. This is literally after that | 0:36:40 | 0:36:46 | |
move, he then gets a second chance,
but he chokes his shot a little bit. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:51 | |
Right after the sending off, there
is a meant Brophy with the chance. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:55 | |
He's marked here, Kammy care gets
blocked off by runners. He has to do | 0:36:55 | 0:37:05 | |
better. It doesn't get any easier
for Dundee. The | 0:37:05 | 0:37:09 | |
better. It doesn't get any easier
for Dundee. The next match is at | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
home to Rangers. Admittedly Rangers
lost this weekend but stalled off | 0:37:11 | 0:37:14 | |
and there's a huge on the McGann's
hands. Exactly, but they will fancy | 0:37:14 | 0:37:20 | |
themselves against Rangers at home.
Hamilton beat them, so there's no | 0:37:20 | 0:37:24 | |
reason they can't go and win the
game. As for Kilmarnock, they are on | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
a great run. We've raged about -- we
have raved about Steve Clarke's | 0:37:28 | 0:37:33 | |
changes. His only defeat has been at
home. He's had five games, four away | 0:37:33 | 0:37:41 | |
from home. It's an historical
problem that Kilmarnock had, that | 0:37:41 | 0:37:46 | |
they've not been able to pick up
enough points at home and I'm pretty | 0:37:46 | 0:37:49 | |
sure that's something he will be
desperate to overturn in the next | 0:37:49 | 0:37:53 | |
few games he has at Rugby Park. One
thing you've say about Kilmarnock, | 0:37:53 | 0:37:58 | |
they have had this good run of form
and they have a very subtle starting | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
XI. That will help them. It did,
they looked very organised, clean | 0:38:02 | 0:38:07 | |
sheet for them is a bonus in the
last 15 or 20 minutes they looked | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
the more likely team to score. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:16 | |
Now to the match that
kicked the weekend off. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:18 | |
The Celtic bandwagon
rolling into Dingwall. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
Could Owen Coyle's Ross County
do anything to resist | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
Brendan Rodgers' invincibles? | 0:38:22 | 0:38:23 | |
Commentary from Liam McLeod. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
Commentary from Liam McLeod. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
Ross County were made to sweat. Owen
Coyle more than content to send out | 0:38:27 | 0:38:33 | |
the same team. Same again for
Celtic, two is the aim in the Uefa | 0:38:33 | 0:38:41 | |
domestic chart, in what would be a
64th successive match without loss. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:47 | |
Up towards Dembele, who hit a
hat-trick for Lee Fitch's U21 side | 0:38:47 | 0:38:53 | |
during the break against their
Slovenian counterparts. Here's | 0:38:53 | 0:38:59 | |
Keilor-Dunn, a nice little ball
through. The former Celtic trainee | 0:38:59 | 0:39:05 | |
trying to get on it, made Gordon
looked lively. Just one Ross County | 0:39:05 | 0:39:12 | |
win in 19 league meetings, with
Celtic. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:19 | |
Celtic. It's Keilor-Dunn. Not the
worst effort in the world. Could | 0:39:19 | 0:39:26 | |
potentially have taken a touch here. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
A lovely ball. Callum McGregor. It
is taken away from him, just as he | 0:39:38 | 0:39:44 | |
was pulling the trigger. Not too
many appeals for a penalty, though | 0:39:44 | 0:39:51 | |
McGregor is having a word with the
referee here. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:58 | |
referee here. Routers with the final
touch on the Celtic player and he | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
may feel hard done by -- | 0:40:02 | 0:40:03 | |
Celtic of won all six of their away
Premiership matches so far. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
Conceding just once, Alexander
Gogic, a consolation goal for | 0:40:10 | 0:40:17 | |
Hamilton. Dembele putting pressure
on McCarey. Adomah Carey was | 0:40:17 | 0:40:23 | |
deceived by its, got no man's land,
that's for sure. In four McGregor | 0:40:23 | 0:40:31 | |
and its loose. Helped end 60 years
of Italian World Cup qualification | 0:40:31 | 0:40:42 | |
at the weekend, with Sweden. No
advantage given by Nick Walsh. It's | 0:40:42 | 0:40:49 | |
Dembele and it's comfortable for
McCarey. Dundee were the last team | 0:40:49 | 0:40:55 | |
to keep Celtic out domestically, a
0-0 draw on the 5th of April, 2016. | 0:40:55 | 0:41:02 | |
Owen Coyle at the moment is doing a
fine job of frustrating the | 0:41:02 | 0:41:05 | |
champions. It's Routis with the free
kick. Easy enough for Craig Gordon. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:12 | |
Gardyne, a nice flick away. He's
chipped it through here for Schalk. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:30 | |
There was a controversial spot the
last time these two men met here. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:36 | |
The clock continuing to kick down.
Armstrong is tripped by O'Brien and | 0:41:36 | 0:41:43 | |
Celtic have a free kick in a very
testy position. It's Griffiths. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:53 | |
Griffiths | 0:41:53 | 0:41:59 | |
Griffiths like -- Griffiths! Just
when Celtic needed a touch of class, | 0:41:59 | 0:42:04 | |
Leigh Griffiths provides it, with a
trademark free kick. Shades of | 0:42:04 | 0:42:10 | |
England in June. And it's 1-0 to the
champions. McGregor must have | 0:42:10 | 0:42:20 | |
thought his team was going to pull
something out of the bag. Suddenly, | 0:42:20 | 0:42:25 | |
Celtic were going to finish this
off. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:32 | |
off. I mentioned Dembele's hat-trick
against Slovenia, Olivier Ntcham | 0:42:32 | 0:42:38 | |
scored a free kick for the French
team in the other match. County just | 0:42:38 | 0:42:44 | |
can't keep clean sheets. Haven't
managed one at home yet this season. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:50 | |
Scott Sinclair. He's going to get it
back. They haven't been at their | 0:42:50 | 0:43:00 | |
free-flowing best, Celtic. It looks
as though it's going to be enough. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:05 | |
Brendan Rodgers will soon turn his
attention to the Paris St-Germain. | 0:43:05 | 0:43:18 | |
attention to the Paris St-Germain.
Olivier Ntcham got the flick onto | 0:43:18 | 0:43:20 | |
it. Can count Ji conjure up an
equaliser? Defensively, they deserve | 0:43:20 | 0:43:29 | |
it, but they've not really
threatened Craig Gordon about the | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
other end. Celtic have lost the
ball. I shout for hand ball against | 0:43:31 | 0:43:38 | |
Boyata. Nick Walsh has turned a
blind eye to it. | 0:43:38 | 0:43:42 | |
Boyata. Nick Walsh has turned a
blind eye to it. We performed ever | 0:43:42 | 0:43:44 | |
so well during the game, tactically
very disciplined and they are | 0:43:44 | 0:43:51 | |
wonderful team, carrying all before
them, but we had a very good shape | 0:43:51 | 0:43:54 | |
against the ball and when we broke
out we carried the thread. We feel | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
disappointed not to have had a point
from the game and it's taken, let's | 0:43:58 | 0:44:04 | |
be honest, a bit of magic to beat
us. When you come back after an | 0:44:04 | 0:44:07 | |
international break it's never going
to be what you would like and the | 0:44:07 | 0:44:12 | |
conditions, the pitch and what of,
it was a difficult pitch today. It | 0:44:12 | 0:44:16 | |
made that fluency in the game not as
good as what we have been in a lot | 0:44:16 | 0:44:21 | |
of our games, however you have to
get a result and you have to get out | 0:44:21 | 0:44:25 | |
of performance and I thought the
players did that today and that bit | 0:44:25 | 0:44:29 | |
of magic and quality came through in
the end. The big question for all | 0:44:29 | 0:44:33 | |
the other sides in the Premiership,
how do you solve a problem like | 0:44:33 | 0:44:37 | |
Celtic? How did you rate Ross
County's approach? I thought they | 0:44:37 | 0:44:42 | |
were excellent, tactically when they
went on position they looked very, | 0:44:42 | 0:44:45 | |
very good I is. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:46 | |
went on position they looked very,
very good I is. They made it hard | 0:44:46 | 0:44:47 | |
for Celtic to break them down. They
kept small gaps in the defence and | 0:44:47 | 0:44:51 | |
midfield and whenever Celtic got the
ball in the final third they were | 0:44:51 | 0:44:54 | |
put under massive pressure. They
pressed extremely well. A number of | 0:44:54 | 0:44:58 | |
examples. This is early on in the
game. The amount of bodies that Ross | 0:44:58 | 0:45:02 | |
County have back behind the ball in
the final third, here you see Celtic | 0:45:02 | 0:45:06 | |
probing for gaps, Dembele once it
but Andrew Davis, as it's rolled | 0:45:06 | 0:45:11 | |
down, he's right on top of him, note
space, no time, that's good | 0:45:11 | 0:45:15 | |
defending. Another example, Dembele,
give me it, I'll get it on the half | 0:45:15 | 0:45:20 | |
term, as soon as he takes the
stretch those three of them on him. | 0:45:20 | 0:45:24 | |
They did it ever so well throughout
the whole game. Celtic lacked a bit | 0:45:24 | 0:45:29 | |
of wit and imagination. Because the
middle lane was so crowded they | 0:45:29 | 0:45:33 | |
needed the overlapping wide player,
to force it in the middle with a | 0:45:33 | 0:45:36 | |
number of bodies and eventually a
lot of attacks fizzled out because | 0:45:36 | 0:45:40 | |
of how difficult and compact Ross
County were making it for them. | 0:45:40 | 0:45:44 | |
That's Lustig, the right back, he
has to give summary players from | 0:45:44 | 0:45:49 | |
Ross County, they want them to try
and go down the middle and they kept | 0:45:49 | 0:45:53 | |
trying that and Ross County set up
really well. A lot of credit to Ross | 0:45:53 | 0:45:57 | |
County, that takes concentration and
when you get tired you expect | 0:45:57 | 0:46:01 | |
eventually Kent Iqbal open up and
they didn't. It was from set play. | 0:46:01 | 0:46:07 | |
Credit to Celtic, | 0:46:07 | 0:46:08 | |
they didn't. It was from set play.
Credit to Celtic, they always find a | 0:46:08 | 0:46:09 | |
way. It seems recently we were
cheering Leigh Griffiths, those last | 0:46:09 | 0:46:15 | |
free kick goals, until yesterday.
He's a master at these free kicks, | 0:46:15 | 0:46:23 | |
30 yards out. The thing that
impressed me was the depths he got | 0:46:23 | 0:46:27 | |
on it. The highest point of the ball
is around, if it ever rolls in, | 0:46:27 | 0:46:32 | |
yeah, 12 beat in the air. It dips.
It doesn't have a lot of pace on it | 0:46:32 | 0:46:37 | |
but it dipped. That is technique, a
lot of dip. How high are the goals? | 0:46:37 | 0:46:46 | |
Eight feet. Fantastic. It's a big
week for Celtic, pretty much full | 0:46:46 | 0:46:51 | |
strength side against Ross County.
They have Paris St-Germain, midweek, | 0:46:51 | 0:46:55 | |
and the League Cup final next
weekend. Presumably he will play his | 0:46:55 | 0:46:59 | |
strongest side in always matches.
That is the thing they have got, | 0:46:59 | 0:47:03 | |
they've got a fantastic starting XI,
but also strength and depth and | 0:47:03 | 0:47:06 | |
that's been shown at the weekend.
Leigh Griffiths has lost his | 0:47:06 | 0:47:10 | |
starting place, comes on and Bruce
is worth. They've got a great squad | 0:47:10 | 0:47:14 | |
and that's what they need for all | 0:47:14 | 0:47:25 | |
these big games coming up. It will
be a gruelling week. No doubt about | 0:47:33 | 0:47:36 | |
it. Paris St-Germain and a Cup
Final, it's hardly gruelling! How | 0:47:36 | 0:47:38 | |
fresh will they be? They will want
to give a good account of themselves | 0:47:38 | 0:47:41 | |
in Paris. What more could you want
as a player? How much trepidation | 0:47:41 | 0:47:44 | |
would you feel is a fan? I think the
game at Celtic Park, Paris | 0:47:44 | 0:47:47 | |
St-Germain, it's probably one of the
best performances I've ever seen. I | 0:47:47 | 0:47:49 | |
think they will be a real challenger
for the champions title. Of course | 0:47:49 | 0:47:52 | |
it's going to be difficult. There's
no doubt about it. But that's why | 0:47:52 | 0:47:56 | |
Brendan Rodgers has to come up with
a game plan, to mitigate the | 0:47:56 | 0:48:00 | |
strengths of PSG. I would prioritise
my selection for Sunday's game | 0:48:00 | 0:48:05 | |
rather than the midweek game. For me
it's nothing game in the Champions | 0:48:05 | 0:48:09 | |
League, whereas Sunday... Nothing
game? I thought you said it was | 0:48:09 | 0:48:15 | |
mouthwatering. You don't want an
embarrassing result. Winning the | 0:48:15 | 0:48:17 | |
home game, it's the one we need to
do, even drawing that to qualify for | 0:48:17 | 0:48:24 | |
the Roper, where as if they win on
Sunday I would suggest a Cup Final. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:28 | |
Now to today's match at Tynecastle. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:30 | |
After all the doubt and speculation,
the safety inspection was passed | 0:48:30 | 0:48:32 | |
and the new main stand unveiled. | 0:48:32 | 0:48:34 | |
A new era for a great old stadium. | 0:48:34 | 0:48:36 | |
Would it see a Hearts victory
over Partick Thistle? | 0:48:36 | 0:48:38 | |
Commentary comes from Liam McLeod. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:40 | |
The old place has had a makeover, a
safety certificate finally arrived | 0:48:44 | 0:48:48 | |
late yesterday evening and after
months of graphed the new £12 | 0:48:48 | 0:48:53 | |
million Main Stand is ready and it's
an impressive stand. A real step | 0:48:53 | 0:48:57 | |
forward for Heart of Midlothian. Who
bring back veteran Alan Hughes | 0:48:57 | 0:49:02 | |
today, after becoming Brittain's
most capped defender during Northern | 0:49:02 | 0:49:06 | |
Ireland's play-off heartbreak. There
is a welcome return for Diouf as | 0:49:06 | 0:49:09 | |
well in the middle. Chris Erskine
returns from injury for the Jags and | 0:49:09 | 0:49:13 | |
replaces Conor Sammon, who can't
play against his training club. This | 0:49:13 | 0:49:17 | |
will have an won here since 2014. --
Partick Thistle haven't won here | 0:49:17 | 0:49:24 | |
since 2014. A bit too much pressure
from the Portuguese and Hearts have | 0:49:24 | 0:49:30 | |
free kick in a very promising area.
Lafferty and Goncalves are over it. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:40 | |
A comfortable save for Cerny. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:43 | |
Just one Thistle win in the last
eight meetings between these two | 0:49:49 | 0:49:52 | |
sides. If it comes from Brandon.
Here's Lafferty. He had his back to | 0:49:52 | 0:50:03 | |
goal, he got the shot away. Perhaps
just lost his bearings a bit there | 0:50:03 | 0:50:10 | |
did Lafferty, who played Northern
Ireland's first leg, Aaron Hughes | 0:50:10 | 0:50:14 | |
played the second. A clean sheet but
ultimately the point in Switzerland. | 0:50:14 | 0:50:21 | |
ultimately the point in Switzerland.
-- ultimate disappointment in | 0:50:21 | 0:50:22 | |
Switzerland. That's Berra's header,
off the line but referee wasn't | 0:50:22 | 0:50:29 | |
happy with the clambering of
Christophe Berra. And Adam Bogdan. | 0:50:29 | 0:50:37 | |
Christophe Berra. And Adam Bogdan.
-- Barton will stop a late goal | 0:50:37 | 0:50:41 | |
denied this all the points in their
last visit here at the end of April. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:46 | |
Lafferty losing out, a bit of afters
which is going on out of vision | 0:50:46 | 0:50:51 | |
right now. Hearts want it back. Mrs
Milinkovic. In he goes. -- this is | 0:50:51 | 0:51:00 | |
Milinkovic. In he goes. He's been
brought into the starting XI for | 0:51:00 | 0:51:04 | |
Hearts today. Goncalves. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:13 | |
Hearts today. Goncalves. Away by
Devine. Hughes has lost sight of it | 0:51:13 | 0:51:15 | |
and here goes Storey. Not quite.
Aaron Hughes heaves a big sigh of | 0:51:15 | 0:51:21 | |
relief. Miles Storey has pasted
back. He didn't have the finish to | 0:51:21 | 0:51:27 | |
match though. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:28 | |
Hearts know a win would take them
back into the top six. | 0:51:34 | 0:51:44 | |
back into the top six. It's a boost
to have a Cameroonian back. It's | 0:51:44 | 0:51:48 | |
Gonsalves, it's into the far corner
and the new Main Stand feeds its | 0:51:48 | 0:51:54 | |
first goal, scored by the man who
scored at the old stand at the end | 0:51:54 | 0:52:01 | |
of last season and perhaps that is
fitting, as Gonsalves scores a goal | 0:52:01 | 0:52:08 | |
similar to the one he scored against
Kilmarnock. A couple of defeats | 0:52:08 | 0:52:13 | |
across the railway at Murrayfield,
before returning to their spiritual | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
home. A hand ball by Adam Barton,
who has already been booked. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:24 | |
Deliberate hand ball, right in front
of the referee. He clearly gave the | 0:52:24 | 0:52:28 | |
free kick for that offence. Barton
perhaps can feel a little fortunate | 0:52:28 | 0:52:36 | |
that the referee hasn't booked him
for that one as well. In from Cowie. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:44 | |
The Jags managed to spoon it away.
That's Brandon. He's got it in | 0:52:44 | 0:52:51 | |
forward, the Gonsalves. It's three
defeats on the bounce for Hearts | 0:52:51 | 0:52:56 | |
right now. The derby across the city
before the defeats at the home of | 0:52:56 | 0:53:04 | |
Scottish rugby. Desperate for three
points. A hand ball. Against | 0:53:04 | 0:53:11 | |
Stockton. | 0:53:11 | 0:53:14 | |
In towards the final five minutes of
the game at Tynecastle. Thistle try | 0:53:17 | 0:53:25 | |
and smell out a point. Doolan! And
it's 1-1! | 0:53:25 | 0:53:32 | |
This all really need a goal, it's
normally Kris Doolan vaped turn two | 0:53:38 | 0:53:42 | |
and you can see why -- when Partick
Thistle need a goal. So deadly in | 0:53:42 | 0:53:48 | |
and you can see why -- when Partick
Thistle need a goal. So deadly in | 0:53:48 | 0:53:49 | |
that kind of position. I'm
disappointed, obviously out like to | 0:53:49 | 0:53:52 | |
have won the match today. I thought
we did enough to win it without | 0:53:52 | 0:53:56 | |
being brilliant. Then when I got
back in afterwards and saw the goal | 0:53:56 | 0:54:00 | |
was offside and also it's a hand
ball, then that makes me feel even | 0:54:00 | 0:54:04 | |
more miserable. I thought we'd get
another chance, we have the best | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
chance in the first half. I felt the
starting position was very good and | 0:54:07 | 0:54:15 | |
cut a lot of things out, but we kept
them at arm's links for most of the | 0:54:15 | 0:54:20 | |
game. After all the build-up about
this game, safety inspections, all | 0:54:20 | 0:54:23 | |
the rest of it, the match itself was
a bit of a damp squib? I think the | 0:54:23 | 0:54:31 | |
romantic notion of them being
returned to Tynecastle and | 0:54:31 | 0:54:33 | |
everything being Rosie fell flatter
bit, it was a chance to go sixth in | 0:54:33 | 0:54:37 | |
the league if they'd won and it was
a pretty uninspiring performance. It | 0:54:37 | 0:54:41 | |
was pretty uninspiring and suddenly
a goal | 0:54:41 | 0:54:44 | |
was pretty uninspiring and suddenly
a goal for Hearts, but should it | 0:54:44 | 0:54:46 | |
have stood? It's a wonderful finish
from Gonsalves as he cuts in here, | 0:54:46 | 0:54:51 | |
but I think Kyle Lafferty is just
slightly offside and he's in | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
front... You can understand how the
officials don't give it, totally, | 0:54:54 | 0:55:02 | |
because it's so tight, but he's in
front of Cerny, so is he offside? | 0:55:02 | 0:55:08 | |
Marginally, but completely
understandable why it wasn't given. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:10 | |
That's the last three games,
Hearts's goals have come from | 0:55:10 | 0:55:17 | |
moments of magic. It's not as if
they are opening teams up and | 0:55:17 | 0:55:20 | |
creating lots of chances, but they
are scoring very good goals, but you | 0:55:20 | 0:55:24 | |
can't expect that every week. Still
initially the style of play. The | 0:55:24 | 0:55:29 | |
game was pretty poor, no doubt about
that and everything is not going to | 0:55:29 | 0:55:33 | |
just fix itself by going back to
Tynecastle. More fundamental... I | 0:55:33 | 0:55:38 | |
the pitch, nobody should be on that
pitch. The pitch looked dodgy. There | 0:55:38 | 0:55:43 | |
were a couple of lines on it but
Tynecastle now is a fantastic | 0:55:43 | 0:55:48 | |
stadium. It looked tremendous and
once the stadium is fully finished | 0:55:48 | 0:55:51 | |
they've got a tremendous home,
Hearts. Let's talk about Hearts more | 0:55:51 | 0:55:57 | |
in a second, what about the
equaliser, Kris Doolan's goal? | 0:55:57 | 0:56:02 | |
Hearts are going to feel aggrieved,
you heard Craig Lavigne talking | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
about a potential hand ball. It is
difficult to say definitively what | 0:56:05 | 0:56:09 | |
happens. There are so many players
looking at off but it looks as if it | 0:56:09 | 0:56:14 | |
comes off Devine's elbow. It's a
wonderful finish. I don't think you | 0:56:14 | 0:56:21 | |
knows anything about it, if the ball
is going to break in the box. A | 0:56:21 | 0:56:25 | |
great point for Partick Thistle, a
much better point for them than for | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
Hearts. A string of matches coming
up at Tynecastle for Hearts but no | 0:56:28 | 0:56:33 | |
immediate bounce in terms of this
Tynecastle effect but I suppose | 0:56:33 | 0:56:37 | |
everybody at Hearts was looking for.
You would hope that you get a number | 0:56:37 | 0:56:41 | |
of games at home, that things will
pick up but I've seen it before, if | 0:56:41 | 0:56:46 | |
the football is so poor and you are
not creating chances than it could | 0:56:46 | 0:56:50 | |
actually be the reverse, where a
nervousness from the stands that | 0:56:50 | 0:56:54 | |
feeds on the park. Hearts are not in
a great position at the moment on | 0:56:54 | 0:56:58 | |
the pitch. Off the park things are
going fantastic. They need | 0:56:58 | 0:57:06 | |
going fantastic. They need to get a
better style, some more results on | 0:57:06 | 0:57:08 | |
the pitch. I don't experienced a
week in | 0:57:08 | 0:57:10 | |
the pitch. I don't experienced a
week in Scottish football where so | 0:57:10 | 0:57:11 | |
much attention is focused on on
safety expections! How much of a | 0:57:11 | 0:57:14 | |
farce has this been? It seems as if
Altima cleaves been left up to the | 0:57:14 | 0:57:18 | |
council and Hearts and they are
quite happy to leave it as long as | 0:57:18 | 0:57:22 | |
possible, they want the game on. --
it seems as if ultimately it's been | 0:57:22 | 0:57:26 | |
left up to the Council of hearts.
The lead should have -- the league | 0:57:26 | 0:57:32 | |
should have stepped in, it seemed to
drag on and on. The game has gone | 0:57:32 | 0:57:37 | |
ahead. 15 minutes late. 15 minutes
late but when you look at the bigger | 0:57:37 | 0:57:42 | |
picture it's a great stadium, the
game has gone ahead and that's the | 0:57:42 | 0:57:46 | |
most important thing. Why didn't
Partick Thistle play in yellow and | 0:57:46 | 0:57:52 | |
red? You did say why were they
wearing... Mischief maker! And you | 0:57:52 | 0:57:58 | |
very much indeed. | 0:57:58 | 0:58:02 | |
All that leaves the Ladbrokes
Premiership table looking like this. | 0:58:02 | 0:58:04 | |
Celtic extend their lead at the top
of the table to six points. | 0:58:04 | 0:58:07 | |
Motherwell two points
behind Rangers. | 0:58:07 | 0:58:09 | |
Dundee remain bottom of the table. | 0:58:09 | 0:58:16 | |
The football story never ends. | 0:58:16 | 0:58:17 | |
