A super Sunday in the SPL turned into a sensational Sunday. The full | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
story will unfold before your eyes over the next 45 minutes. All the | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Saturday action as well. And Kilmarnock manager, Kenny Shiels, | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
:01:23. | :01:31. | ||
A disappointing draw in Europe for Celtic in midweek. But Neil | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
Lennon's team were looking today to prolong a winning start to their | :01:34. | :01:43. | |
title challenge at home to struggling St Johnstone. | :01:43. | :01:52. | |
On the back of a goalless night in On the back of a goalless night in | :01:52. | :02:02. | |
:02:02. | :02:16. | ||
On the back of a goalless night in perfect start to this campaign. | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Brian Winter has awarded a penalty. It is in the opening minutes. | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Stokes got the shot away and then he goes down under a common's | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
challenge. It will be Chris Collins with a chance from 12 yards. - | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
:02:43. | :03:19. | ||
outset. Only inches wide from Stokes. Celtic knocking at the St | :03:19. | :03:29. | |
:03:29. | :04:07. | ||
stranded. Celtic attacking in waves. St Johnstone holding out, but for | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
how much longer? Terrific bit of goalkeeping. It looks like Stokes | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
:04:24. | :04:33. | ||
was around him. Good movement from former Celtic man with a chance to | :04:33. | :04:43. | |
:04:43. | :04:53. | ||
it was a cross the line but the goalkeeper had his body behind it. | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
:05:03. | :05:26. | ||
Collins did well to dig this one took a deflection on its way | :05:26. | :05:36. | |
:05:36. | :05:54. | ||
force are now trying to get back into the game. It was another | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
:06:04. | :06:04. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds | :06:04. | :06:57. | |
survive. What does Celtic have to do to score? It is a charmed life | :06:57. | :07:07. | |
:07:07. | :07:15. | ||
That was St Johnstone's first win at Celtic Park since 1999. And Neil | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
Lennon did not take it well. He said there were too many players | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
today who wanted to do their own thing. Can you understand that | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
frustration? Yes I can, having looked at the highlight. I'm sure | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
he is frustrated, but sometimes in football you have to say it is not | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
your day. We cannot take credit away from St Johnstone. I was not | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
at the game that they were resilient, tough and hard to beat. | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
They will feel they earned that results. They played two upfront? | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
If you played two up front, it is the depth of the midfield will | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
:08:05. | :08:07. | ||
determine if it is positive. You have to give them credit. Should | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
:08:17. | :08:17. | ||
this have been given as a penalty? I cannot see the penalty, I cannot | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
see it being a penalty. He gets the shot away? He did his bit, got over | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
the keeper but he is not going to catch that ball. It does not look | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
like a penalty to me. Chris Collins lost his footing but I think it is | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
going there anyway. It was a good save by the goalkeeper? He was | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
tremendous, he made some fantastic saves, that is what the goalkeeper | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
is therefore. The old cliche, the goalkeeper has to do well at Ibrox | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
and Celtic Park and he did? What a result, to go there and keep a | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
clean sheet and to get a result as well. It will give them a | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
tremendous lift. They could have scored before they did and it was a | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
former Celtic player, Sheridan he was almost on the end of this, | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
agonising? I think he was distracted in his peripheral vision | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
and felt he was going to run into the post. He made a good run to the | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
back. Hefty deflection on that from Mackay, not that he was bothered? | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
don't think it was going in, I don't want to take anything away | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
from him, but it took a deflection. Neil Lennon thought his players | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
were wasteful in front of goal. He said the fund six were a real let- | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
down and as you can see from this, Celtic had loads of pressure and | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
had loads of chances in the game? By the looks of it, Celtic have | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
lost the ball. They got into some good areas and the frustration as a | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
manager is you keep missing most chances. But St Johnstone earned | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
their three points. Chris Collins hit the post last week against | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
Dundee United, same again. Can you put it down as one of those days? | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
That is exactly what it was from Celtic's perspective. They had lots | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
of the play and they cannot seem to get it in the net. A great cross | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
from Chris Collins. On another day, they might have scored three? | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
product, that is what it is all about in football. And this summed | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
it up at the end. Stokes denied again. A great reaction from the | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
goalkeeper. A great result for St Johnstone. It's not unusual to | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
watch the league leaders at Fir Park. It is when it's Motherwell, | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
even after only four games of the SPL season. Today brought their | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
biggest test so far - Rangers. biggest test so far - Rangers. | :10:54. | :10:55. | |
The Motherwell manager kept change The Motherwell manager kept change | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
to a minimum, as you do when you are top of the table. Lafferty | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
returned after suspension and Ross Forbes was on the bench. Rangers | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
:11:13. | :11:25. | ||
defending champions. It looks good on paper this one. It is Motherwell | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
coming forward. Murphy testing the goalkeeper. The Rangers No. 1 was | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
equal to it. It is an early test. Jamie Murphy has started the season | :11:38. | :11:46. | |
well. Rangers really want to bounce back from their disappointment in | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
the Europa League. They have a chance here. Lafferty denied by | :11:51. | :12:01. | |
:12:01. | :12:28. | ||
real live wire. Into the net it although he does not know much | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
:12:39. | :13:13. | ||
about it. Motherwell conceding for could not keep that down. Stuart | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
McCall, former Rangers midfielder. It broke for Murphy, but it won't | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
:13:31. | :14:03. | ||
count. Handball. It bounced up onto Lafferty is back. A frustrating | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
injury-hit start to this season for Lafferty. But that is superbly done. | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
It is a nightmare for a team when you concede right on the half-time | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
whistle. Especially when it is the second. Steven Naismith looking for | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
the third. He scored two belters at that end, the South Stand End last | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
:14:36. | :14:45. | ||
season. A 5-0 win on their way to soon. That is the woodwork. Chris | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Humphrey has not been able to free himself of Wallace too often in his | :14:50. | :15:00. | |
:15:00. | :15:26. | ||
If Rangers get a third goal, they will probably see all this. The | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:56. | ||
third is just not coming at the go the way here. And he does, that | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
is a tremendous! And that will settle it. Rangers will go to the | :16:03. | :16:11. | |
summit of the SPL and immediately after this. A fine finish to a | :16:11. | :16:21. | |
great performance from the 11 first-team players missing for | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
Rangers, so to win so convincingly against the league leaders is a | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
great result. I am sure you cannot blame them for feeling smug tonight | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
because there has been a lot of criticism cannot unfair criticism, | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
of not bringing in players and signings, and he has promoted from | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
within. It is great he has done that, he has brought in the three | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
kids who performed really well and he must be feeling pretty good. | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
was doing the radio commentary but it is -- and I realised it is only | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
when you see the pictures you see the part played unwittingly by | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
Steven Naismith. Amazing, I do not think he knows anything about it, | :17:04. | :17:12. | |
he does not. It comes across Nikica Jelavic and the Motherwell defender, | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
Naismith did not know much about it. He knew afterwards, he was claiming | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
it! Of course, it is his goal! Motherwell were frustrated when | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
they got the goal in the net, it was Jamie Murphy who put the ball | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
away and it was a fantastic training ground move. The movement | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
and good disguise run and the step over the ball, he has inadvertently | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
off... You need to understand if they bring out the ratings of this | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
game and the referee has to stick to the director. Does the ball play | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
the hand? I do not think so. I think it bounced up and was | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
probably not controlled properly and he has inadvertently controlled | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
the ball and put it away. I would like to ask the referees what they | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
think. What killed Motherwell today was two week for counter-attacks | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
from Rangers. This in stoppage time when Motherwell looked as though | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
they might square the game. horrible time to concede. But Kyle | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
Lafferty pulls off to the back of Defence and this is a brilliant | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
finish. He have not much margin to put it in and he pulled off the | :18:28. | :18:37. | |
:18:38. | :18:41. | ||
back -- he did not have. a ball over the top from a Steven | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
Davis and game over for Motherwell. He goes over the keeper and he is | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
in. I do not think Motherwell had conceded before and that is it. | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
conceded before and that is it. conceded before and that is it. | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Well done. Let's see now how Kenny's Kilmarnock fared at home to | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
Hearts today. They had Edinburgh opposition last weekend as well and | :19:04. | :19:14. | |
:19:14. | :19:19. | ||
Kilmarnock! It is an own goal! | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
:19:29. | :19:37. | ||
Paul Mitchell was at Rugby Park -- Hearts. | :19:37. | :19:46. | |
Robinson has got some space. Not the greatest shot from Robinson. | :19:46. | :19:56. | |
:19:56. | :20:03. | ||
But it is an early test for Cammy for Paul Heffernan, he goes across | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
and chips it in. Too much weight on it. Plenty of support inside the | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
box. The striker kept himself onside despite the protests. He | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
:20:26. | :20:31. | ||
clipped this too much. Taken well by Manual Pascali. That is a free | :20:31. | :20:41. | |
:20:41. | :20:42. | ||
kick. A bit heavy that time to the back of Stephen Elliott. Almost | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
catching out Cammy Bell! He took an extra step to his left hand side, | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
he expected Moore's work on it. And he seems delighted to the opening | :20:53. | :21:00. | |
of the season made by his side come under pressure here. The header | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
deflected away here. Well picked up, it did hit the chest of the last | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
:21:16. | :21:35. | ||
-- 4 Hearts. And Manual Pascali gets it away before Scott Robinson. | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
Head down, looked up and saw the target. Cammy Bell was beaten by | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :21:55. | ||
the Bar! And inside chance for Gary Harkins. He sent it spiralling over | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
the crossbar. A great start to the second half for Killie, a great | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
football! A look of concern from the Hearts manager. That was a bit | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
soft, he just seemed to be standing behind him and went to ground. | :22:18. | :22:27. | |
Danny Grainger t take it. Good save, and away from Manual Pascali! What | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
a free kick from Danny Grainger, plenty of power, pushed away by the | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
:22:42. | :22:54. | ||
goalkeeper. Manual Pascali saved sit over his own crossbar. -- foul- | :22:54. | :23:03. | |
up. Who will take the corner? That comes wide. That hit Stephen | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
Elliott inside the six-yard box and may will have been played onside | :23:08. | :23:18. | |
had it been deflected on target. Hearts have not had a win in the | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
last eight SPL games, looking for the opening goal. Elliott is | :23:24. | :23:33. | |
offside and it will not count! Eight minutes to play, the | :23:33. | :23:43. | |
:23:43. | :23:43. | ||
assistant holding up the flag. It is a common perception it you | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
have continued a footballing philosophy, but I think it was | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
yours. I think it was combined. Can I say something about the attacks | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
of Kilmarnock? It is funny when you reflect on the game and you look | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
back in the afternoon and say that it was a decent game of football. | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
We tried to entertain as much as we can and we were not as potent as | :24:15. | :24:23. | |
last week, but there were two mine saids today. Kilmarnock were coming | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
off a 4-1 victory and did not seem to click today. Hearts of coming | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
off a 5-nil- defeat against Tottenham and got a lot of unfair | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
criticism and were resolute and worked hard and shut down our space. | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
Sometimes it was physical. Debate dish it out today, Hearts? -- did | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
they. They did and if you do it in the letter of the law it is all | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
right. They picked up a few bookings, and not from me, but I do | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
think they did over-indulge. But the referee did his job and it | :25:01. | :25:10. | |
ended up as a zero goals. James Staton was a real handful -- James | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
Dayton. Two of the four yellow card were against him. Most were broken | :25:16. | :25:26. | |
:25:26. | :25:28. | ||
justified reason, and sometimes they get away with it. The | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
referee's remit is to let the game flow and develop fly, but that was | :25:32. | :25:40. | |
not the case today. That was a talented kick. It was not given. | :25:40. | :25:50. | |
:25:50. | :25:55. | ||
Some days, you do not get them and Hibs, four goals to them, but you | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
said this was not your best seasons. I think we worked hard last season | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
and this was a tough game. This was a great finish, one cross from the | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
left-back and the other scored by Paul Heffernan was from the right | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
back which we encourage. Great skill from James Dayton. I said | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
Paul Heffernan, if he does not make that run, we do not score again. | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
The full-back was fouled at outside the box. -- outside. Great ball in | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
and brilliant movement from Paul Heffernan. Kilmarnock are still | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
unbeaten this season, but the bad news for you and Ryan alia re is he | :26:38. | :26:48. | |
:26:48. | :26:49. | ||
has picked up a bad injury on his It is a cruciate injury which is | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
six-months. He has had a couple of injuries in his career and has | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
worked his way back. Psychologically, he was up for this | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
season and now we have to try and manage his coping strategies and | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
had to do with this. James Dayton will be a big help to him. Be close | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
he has been through it? Yes, last season. -- because he has been | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
through it. The rehab is so tough. We have a great background staff to | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
deal with that. We hope you will make a good and four recovery. -- | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
he will make. We've shown you the best of Sunday | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
in the SPL. The Saturday games are next. | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
The Thompson Twins take centre stage in Edinburgh. A big hand for | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
Paul Gallacher, who's helping Dunfermline settle into the SPL. | :27:37. | :27:46. | |
And B for Butcher, B for Brown and B for Bottom of the league. | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
At Pittodrie yesterday, the meeting of two teams who had still to get | :27:49. | :27:55. | |
their show on the road. Jonathan Sutherland sets the scene. | :27:55. | :28:02. | |
A pretty rubbish start to the SPL for Aberdeen, it has all been a bit | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
Mark McGhee, dare I say it! Inverness can score goals, but | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
points are proving harder to pick up. It has been a hard look story | :28:12. | :28:21. | |
for Caley Thistle, with that change at Pittodrie? Once he was a | :28:21. | :28:31. | |
:28:31. | :28:31. | ||
goalkeeper, now George McGuinness of the season, to the relief of the | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
home crowd. That first Aberdeen goal had | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
finally arrived in the first game of the SPL season, and about time! | :28:43. | :28:50. | |
As a footballer, and you do not want to make a mistake here. New | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
signing Roman Golobart caught on the ball, Scott Vernon showed no | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
mercy. Two goals to Aberdeen. A shocking place to make a mistake | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
and a bad start to the 19-year-old Spanish defender newly arrived on | :29:05. | :29:11. | |
loan from Wigan. And it was not going Caley Thistles away. The | :29:11. | :29:17. | |
referee allowed play on and then blew as the ball found Jonny Hayes, | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
very frustrating. Nelson was the star player for Aberdeen, his free | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
kick bouncing all the way through and off the post. In the second | :29:27. | :29:35. | |
half, a mistake from the Aberdeen defender led to this. An angry | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
Terry Butcher had been breaking things in the dressing room at | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
half-time and it seemed to rouse his players who should have done | :29:42. | :29:50. | |
better from this position. Jonny Hayes and Richie Foran again foiled | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
by last-minute defending. Aberdeen were not be totally spent force in | :29:54. | :30:02. | |
the second half, this goal was denied. A shot from Nelson blocked. | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
But over all, Inverness were dominant in the second half. 21- | :30:07. | :30:12. | |
year-old Gavin Morrison with this that was well saved by David | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
Gonzalez. Then with 11 minutes to play, another Inverness attack, | :30:17. | :30:25. | |
another mistake and Richie Foran finally pulled a goal back. The | :30:25. | :30:32. | |
goal deserved and a slightly unorthodox 1-2. On balance of | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
chances, it could have finished event, David Gonzalez with a fine | :30:37. | :30:47. | |
:30:47. | :30:47. | ||
Aberdeen desperately wanted that win, their first of the season. | :30:47. | :30:50. | |
McGuinness played a part in that goal. And don't know what the | :30:50. | :30:59. | |
Spanish centre half was doing. He looked up, got his head up. I don't | :30:59. | :31:09. | |
:31:09. | :31:10. | ||
know what happened that he went to ground. If that was bad, but the | :31:10. | :31:15. | |
player on loan from Wigan, this was even worse, letting in Scott | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
Vernon? Here made an horrendous mistake. He is looking for movement | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
and there is no movement to play out. He dwelt on it, and I think he | :31:25. | :31:32. | |
slipped. Inverness at the bottom of the SPL with just one point. They | :31:32. | :31:36. | |
have played a lot of good football this season, I see them creating | :31:36. | :31:41. | |
lots of chances every Sunday night on this programme. Yesterday's game | :31:41. | :31:48. | |
pretty similar. This was chalked off and was brought back for the | :31:48. | :31:52. | |
foul. They are having a lot of bad luck at the moment. There are so | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
many things that happen, you get the trend in football were you hit | :31:56. | :32:01. | |
a spell and nothing goes right. This is a perfect example of it | :32:02. | :32:08. | |
again. It affects the confidence and you are unlucky to be beaten | :32:08. | :32:14. | |
and you feel the whole world is against you. I had a report on | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
yesterday's game, Inverness, they gave a good account and they | :32:18. | :32:23. | |
finally got a goal back. But it is too little, too late. What you're | :32:23. | :32:27. | |
saying is true, you can only be unlucky for so long and then it | :32:27. | :32:33. | |
begins to play on people's minds? Exactly. I'm sure Terry is starting | :32:33. | :32:40. | |
to wonder if he has run over a black cat! Most of the games, I | :32:40. | :32:47. | |
watched them against Motherwell, up until half-time Motherwell went in | :32:47. | :32:54. | |
and won the game 3-0. But it was not as clean cut as that. I feel | :32:54. | :32:59. | |
over the season you will get you look and it will come and go and it | :32:59. | :33:04. | |
ebbs and flows like that. It would change for them. Are as long as it | :33:04. | :33:12. | |
does not change next weekend when you are Inverness. I will be spying | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
on them for the League Cup. At the next week, I don't mind. | :33:17. | :33:20. | |
survival is still a long way off for newly promoted Dunfermline but | :33:20. | :33:23. | |
they're certainly off to an encouraging start. They won at St | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
Johnstone last weekend and returned to Tayside yesterday to play Dundee | :33:25. | :33:35. | |
:33:35. | :33:35. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 52 seconds | :33:35. | :34:28. | |
expect him to at least test the ball in from Rankin. - - test the | :34:28. | :34:38. | |
:34:38. | :34:49. | ||
It was quick thinking from Dixon and also Paul Gallagher. What a | :34:49. | :34:59. | |
:34:59. | :35:04. | ||
stunning save to keep the scoresheet blank. He must have seen | :35:04. | :35:14. | |
:35:14. | :35:25. | ||
this lake. Good technique from great run from Rankin. A glancing | :35:25. | :35:35. | |
:35:35. | :35:39. | ||
of possession and in efforts on goal. Here they come again. Rankin | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
gets a shot away. Gallagher was sprawling to his left, don't know | :35:44. | :35:54. | |
:35:54. | :36:12. | ||
if he was getting there. Ranking better spell. United conceding the | :36:12. | :36:22. | |
:36:22. | :36:26. | ||
throw in. It has been a bit better potentially the winning goal with | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
only six minutes remaining. Dunfermline make the breakthrough. | :36:30. | :36:37. | |
Almost out of nothing. Terrific drive by Burns. A great technique, | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
head down and shot past the goalkeeper. The United fans do not | :36:42. | :36:48. | |
think there is a way back. Do the players had the belief to pull | :36:48. | :36:58. | |
:36:58. | :37:15. | ||
just hasn't been United's day in front of goal. | :37:15. | :37:16. | |
front of goal. 34 League games left for | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
Dunfermline. It is a good start and it takes a little bit of pressure | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
off now they have newly arrived back in the SPL. They have the | :37:25. | :37:30. | |
momentum, what a result that it was. To come away with three points, not | :37:30. | :37:36. | |
many teams can do that. Since January, they have won a lot of | :37:36. | :37:42. | |
games at hammered eyes. A brilliant result for the manager, he has done | :37:42. | :37:47. | |
fantastically well. Two big moment in the match, the ball off his hip, | :37:47. | :37:55. | |
but Paul Gallagher's goalkeeping, that saved his fantastic. What a | :37:55. | :38:01. | |
save that is. Dundee United will be wondering where they were going to | :38:01. | :38:08. | |
get the goal. He has saved two penalties as well this season. I | :38:08. | :38:12. | |
think it is instinct. Surely he cannot see that ball coming through | :38:12. | :38:18. | |
so many bodies. This is 85 minutes. Dunfermline might have been holding | :38:18. | :38:24. | |
on for a point at that stage, they wanted all three? Paul Burns, he | :38:24. | :38:32. | |
played for Queen Of The South last season. What a brilliant finish. | :38:32. | :38:37. | |
Making a forward run so late in the game. Great result. A win away from | :38:38. | :38:43. | |
home this weekend, and a home last weekend against St Johnstone their | :38:43. | :38:48. | |
one as well. Six out of six. These points are like gold dust at this | :38:48. | :38:53. | |
stage? A watch Dunfermline in the first game against St Mirren. I | :38:53. | :38:58. | |
think the manager would admit they did not look too clever that night. | :38:58. | :39:03. | |
But they have kicked on since then. I was unsure they have a lot about | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
them? I felt that, but having watched them they have started to | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
gel into the lead really well and they have the momentum. When you | :39:11. | :39:18. | |
sustain momentum, you do form good habits. And like your team, still | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
unbeaten. St Mirren have been good to watch so far this season | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
although they suffered their first defeat last weekend at home to | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
Motherwell. Could they bounce back against Hibs at Easter Road? | :39:27. | :39:37. | |
:39:37. | :39:52. | ||
against Hibs. And this cross almost set up Steven Thompson but he fired | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
into the side netting. What Hibs needed was enjoy after the misery | :39:56. | :40:02. | |
of the demolition at Kilmarnock last weekend. They got some. Garry | :40:02. | :40:07. | |
O'Connor proper team from a break of the ball and he finished with | :40:07. | :40:11. | |
styled to bag his third S Pill goal of the season. Perhaps now, it's | :40:11. | :40:19. | |
can get their season under way properly? They almost doubled their | :40:19. | :40:25. | |
lead. Ivan Sproule goal with a diagonal run followed by a diagonal | :40:25. | :40:29. | |
shot. Had this gone in we might have had a different game. Three | :40:29. | :40:34. | |
minutes before half-time and a mistake from Callum boots allowed | :40:34. | :40:41. | |
in the Dutch left back from St Mirren who laid the ball off | :40:41. | :40:51. | |
:40:51. | :40:56. | ||
selfishly -- unselfish laid it on would go into the break level, | :40:56. | :41:06. | |
:41:06. | :41:11. | ||
another Hibs mistake. Powder-puff defending. Steven Thompson was on | :41:11. | :41:17. | |
target this time. Two mistakes and Hibs 2-1 down. Could they turn it | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
round in the second half? The short answer was No, a lacklustre | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
response from Hibs, this drive off target about as good as it got. It | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
is the Edinburgh Derby next weekend and once again, the pressure is | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
mounting on the boss, Colin mounting on the boss, Colin | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
Calderwood. You were at that game yesterday Kenny. There is a | :41:41. | :41:45. | |
refreshing desire in the SPL with a few teams, including your own to | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
play attacking football and St Mirren are one of those? Singer and | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
have done the League proud the season. Danny has come in with | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
fresh ideas wanting to stimulate the way they played. He deserves a | :41:57. | :42:02. | |
lot of credit. I could see it yesterday, there were periods in | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
the first half when Hibs were on cruise control and they were | :42:06. | :42:12. | |
dominant. They got their goal and then they make two mistakes. St | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
Mirren in the second half were tremendous, they played well and | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
kept the ball. They were patient in their build-ups and I was very | :42:20. | :42:26. | |
pleased with them. I felt a bit, you know, at times they were | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
passing the ball and the movement was there and they were getting | :42:30. | :42:36. | |
shots off. There was penetration in their play also. He has made a big | :42:36. | :42:42. | |
contribution to their own downfall. Credit to Tessem on both goals, | :42:42. | :42:49. | |
first the Booth, following his corner kick, he gets it wrong? | :42:49. | :42:55. | |
came across, he is a very young player. The good thing long-term, | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
he will learn from this. He feels uncomfortable on his weaker side | :42:59. | :43:08. | |
and misreads the bounce. A great presence of mind, thanks very much. | :43:08. | :43:18. | |
I'm sure the Hibs fans know the second goal, they had a midfield | :43:18. | :43:24. | |
player at at right-back. It is a midfield situation, he loses his | :43:24. | :43:30. | |
concentration. Bingo, they have taken the lead within three minutes. | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
Hibs are struggling at the moment and Colin Calderwood would concede | :43:35. | :43:40. | |
that, not helped by your own team thumping them last week. Garry | :43:40. | :43:48. | |
O'Connor scored all three goals this season. They show what he is | :43:48. | :43:54. | |
capable of? It is instinct, he goes across the keeper. He is clinical | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
and he is a strong, a big player. This is a great finish, | :43:57. | :44:03. | |
improvisation. In off the far post. A great finish that was. | :44:03. | :44:08. | |
Determination, gets a couple of lucky bounces, the keeper over- | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
compensated by the near post, but really good finish. I do feel for | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
the manager because he works hard and he wants them to play the right | :44:16. | :44:23. | |
way. He is playing people out of position, a midfield player playing | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
right-back. He has lost Michael Hart through injury and he has not | :44:27. | :44:33. | |
been able to fill that position. Let's have a look at the Clydesdale | :44:33. | :44:43. | |
:44:43. | :44:55. | ||
Next weekend it is three games on Saturday, three games on Sunday. | :44:55. | :45:05. | |
:45:05. | :45:11. | ||
Rangers against Aberdeen, the first Edinburgh Derby of the season. | :45:11. | :45:14. | |
We'll be back next Sunday night, BBC One at ten twenty five. | :45:14. | :45:16. |
