Scottish Cup Fourth Round Highlights - Sunday Sportscene

COMMENTATOR: This could be something quite sensational! Right out of the

top drawer. The shot is an absolute beauty! Oh yes! It's unbelievable!

Unbelievable. What a finish. Time to hear Rose. It is not a dream, it is

reality! -- heroes. STUDIO: We've got all the goals from

yesterday. A very good evening. It's day two of

the William Hill 's Scottish Cup fourth round weekend. So much to get

through this evening. Pat Nevin and Scott McDonald are poised and ready.

Could Albion Rovers produced one of the greatest Scottish Cup shocks of

all time against Celtic? Beside a huge favourite at the Excelsior

Stadium. COMMENTATOR: This is about as close as it gets to David and

Goliath. Celtic got a run of 18 successive wins domestically, head

and shoulders above Albion Rovers, seventh in League 1. It shouldn't

really be a contest. Don't tell that to Rovers, they won their last two

games and beat Queen of the South to get here. They look to cause a shock

of seismic proportions. Celtic's last game was at Rangers. A return

from injury for Kieran Tierney after an absence of three months and only

his second game of the season for Boyota. That's a good save from

Stewart. The first time he's been called into action. He shows he is

up to the test, Armstrong. Forward comes Celtic on the counterattack.

Scott Sinclair with a bit more room... Here he is on the edge of

the box. Dembele couldn't take it in his stride. It might have been in

for the opener. A lovely return pass. He was onside but he couldn't

take control of the ball, Sinclair. Here is Dembele now, the Sinclair. A

good save from Stewart. High up into the air, still. A goalkick,

eventually. This was a chance, Dembele into the feet of thing

Claire. That is a really good save from Stewart. Tierney is the

Sinclair, keep on moving. He's lost none of his sharpness in the time

he's been out. A real chance. What a fantastic goal from Scott Sinclair.

It's going to take something special to break through the Albion Rovers

defence. Scott Sinclair has provided that. With half an hour gone, Celtic

finally hit the front. It's Scott Sinclair's 13th goal this season. He

found room and that is just about perfect from Scott Sinclair. No

stopping that one. Celtic, who are looking for their first domestic

treble since 2001 take a step closer to advancing in the Scottish Cup.

Albion Rovers have stuck it out for half an hour but they can do nothing

about that. Feeding it into the feet of Armstrong. Gets it back once more

to the Celtic captain. Closed down by Ferry.. The flag is up, it's a

fine finish from Sinclair but the offside flag is up. But would have

been a good goal. The past is was excellent. The run was very good.

Half a yard offside. The assistant getting it right.

Lustig uses pays to get past. He's done brilliantly, Sinclair. Forrest

gets the shot away, another good save from Stewart. Three really good

saves from Stewart, now. Forrest did well to written. -- to gather it in.

Quickly off his line and rolling the ball out to Scott Sinclair who puts

the afterburners on, and Jets forwards. Into the feet of Dembele.

Armstrong for Forrest, just behind Forrest. That's only a whisker away

from Celtic's second goal. Frustration the Stewart Armstrong.

Whipping the ball towards the far post. Stewart beaten on that

occasion. Just over from Armstrong. It's a decent effort. Gamboa was in

an advanced position, lovely turn but drags the shot just a couple of

yards wide. There is an interested onlooker.

Forrest trying to take on Turnbull. Got the space for the cross. Again

Dembele meeting with a head. Once more, his effort is off target. If

he gives him chances like this, he's going to take one sooner or later.

Stewart on that occasion is untroubled. Dembele... It's a decent

shot but a good save again from Ross Stewart on his near post. It have

been disappointed to be beaten from that angle. The keeper got plenty

behind it. Karl McGregor, a chance to come forward. It's a deep cross.

Off the crossbar, how unlucky. Almost a second Celtic goal. Boyota

close to doubling Celtic's advantage. They don't come much

closer than that. Back to Sinclair again on the

left-hand side Celtic. Conflict between the legs and cleared off the

line. To the dismay of Simunovic, Albion Rovers had a man on the line.

The keeper out. Roberts, probably the last man

Albion wanted to see coming on. Into the net! Eventually Celtic have

doubled their advantage, surely now they have booked a place in the

quarterfinals. Mousa Dembele will clear that goal, it looked like it

might have been heading in already from Scott Brown. It was definitely

Mousa Dembele's goal. Squared across goal from Brown. The easiest of

goals for Mousa Dembele. At last Albion Rovers resolve is completely

broken. Armstrong gets it back from

Sinclair. Good save from Ross Stewart to deny him. It would have

been a fine goal. He reacted well. Roberts dropping the shoulder,

trying to get the cross in. He's done really well, Patrick Roberts.

There is the third from Celtic and Stewart Armstrong does get his goal.

It's all thanks to Roberts. Pace and skill here from Roberts. Just

tremendous. The poised to pick out the path left by thing Claire and

hammered home by Stewart Armstrong for his ninth goal of the season --

left by Sinclair. Celtic make that scoreline look more emphatic. Our

tempo and professionalism was very good today. We had good

concentration. As the game went on, particularly in the second half, I

thought our tempo was very good. It very pleasing performance. Maybe we

could have tried to keep the ball a wee bit better but with the guys

they are up against, they are under pressure so quickly. You are trying

to keep the ball and making it back. It's some quality they've got. We

are in every single competition to win it. Every game we play we want

to win. Whatever competition. This was our next game. We've had a good

win, a good professional performance, move on to Wednesday

night. It will be a tough game for us but we look to maintain this

momentum and keep bringing the victories and good performances.

STUDIO: Giant-killing, comfortable in the Enver Brendan Rodgers 's

side. A moment of brilliance with that goal, wasn't it? It's great to

see Tierney back, as if he hasn't been away. That's a wonderful

finish. You can see, he thinks the goal is going wide. Even us, we

thought it was going well over the bar. We were looking for a

deflection or something. When he hits it off that surface, he manages

to get underneath the ball, it takes a dramatic dip. Fantastic finish.

Patrick Roberts came on, he was just a fantastic presence in terms of the

creativity. One player you don't want to see coming on if you are an

Albion Rovers player, that's for sure. He's showing great skill to

get by someone. It's a great link to Dembele. There are three players

around him, there. It's a skill that gets him by. On this surface it's

hard to do. You guys are critical of this surface. That time you use

skill. There's three players around him again. This time it's just

blistering pace. That was the problem is Albion Rovers all the way

through the game. That was a brilliant piece of skill, there. He

looks absolutely upfront. You need to do it against the top teams like

that. All the way through the game, not just when he came on, complete

and utter control by Celtic. It's no real surprise but they managed to

keep it down to 2-0. I think Albion can walk away quite proud of

themselves. Who can stop Celtic winning the trouble? We seen it

before with big teams, some decisions go against you in these

big games. It is a possibility that obviously they are going to go for

the trouble. There are still a lot of good teams in this cup ready to

take it often. In terms of Albion Rovers, it wasn't their day. This

was a chance to have a day in the sun. Celtic such a tough

proposition. What are their ambitions? On the day, they didn't

want to be embarrassed. We all know in Scottish Cup day in the earlier

rounds, if you, pay -- if you, against a big team can be a cricket

score. That didn't happen. They can walk away with no embarrassment and

say, we gave them a bit of a game. Let's concentrate on the leak. It's

a cliche because it is true. And they made a bit of cash, too. Raith

Rovers were looking for a Scottish Cup shock as they took on Hearts.

COMMENTATOR: Raith Rovers stick largely with the team of last week

at Capel. Another former Hearts player, no fewer than four debutants

in the starting XI. That's as close as anyone has come.

Should have hit the target, the delivery is superb. It's a free

header. Get it on target. It's a goal.

That is a poor one. This might be the opening for hearts, there it is.

Jamie Walker does it again. 11th goal of the seriously profitable

season and that will relieve some nerves. The frustrating thing for

Raith Rovers is it is self-inflicted. Mistake in midfield.

Fantastic pass through to Jimmy Walker for his 11th of the season.

This pass here from Cali. No more than hearts deserve you would say.

Quick throw. Gets the break of the ball. Big opportunity. Stewart

spurns it. What a mess. I do not think he can quite believe he's

missed. McHattie does ever so well. Make the right decision. How

dizziness it? Three yards out. Incredible miss. If Raith Rovers do

not somehow call themselves back into this time Mark Stewart is not

sleeping the night. Another opportunity. Handball? Hamilton

makes a save. They have Hearts on the ropes. Fantastic save in the

end. Turning it around for the corner. Incomes the corner. Still

alive. Raith Rovers have live here. Hamilton again. The last five or ten

minutes for Raith Rovers have been their best of the match by a

distance. This time it is Ian Davidson denied. Martin will take

the corner. They wanted a penalty, nothing

doing. Not a good delivery it has to be said and I did think he was

pushed to the ground. Benedictus all over him. Mvoto. Backed up by

Benedictus. They will accept the corner. Not done yet. They have

caused problems with their set plays so far. Certainly they have a height

advantage. They will take the replay. They would snap off your arm

for a replay right now. Benedictus. Wouldn't you just know it! Wouldn't

you just know it?! Hearts appealing but Raith Rovers have levelled.

McManus got the final touch. From the Skacel effort. One more in the

final minute of the 90. Really decent hit from Skacel and I'm not

sure if he is offside. He is on. Definitely on. In the second half

they really have been the better side by a large margin. They deserve

to come out of this match with a draw. Huge moment potentially here.

Mvoto up, Hamilton saves and Hearts player. Mvoto causing absolute panic

in the defence. I do not think Hamilton knew much about it. How

difficult is that to take? It is OK. It is this situation... How is it

difficult, what is difficult? We just had to beat them again. Did you

pay the price perhaps for not putting it to bed in the second

half? Possibly, possibly. Maybe we could have apply more pressure, more

chances. But we didn't and I have just been informed we will play in

midweek so we need still with that. We have had wee bit last few games.

-- wee blip. Great bunch of boys in addressing and they work ever so

hard so I'm delighted their effort is awarded. On another day we have

the chances to win the game. Very interesting game, in the end Raith

Rovers almost winning. It would have been a shock, the Hearts players

some of them vociferous in their complaints about the goal that he

was definitely on-site. They will not speak vociferous after they see

this. Well done to Rudi Skacel keeping that down. The technique is

brilliant. Most players take it from there and it goes over the crossbar

but when it comes in there, still on side and he is well on side. There

is not even a question. Good call from the officials? Not easy as well

because it looks as if he is well offside. Good call in particular

Martin who was formerly the best player. But good timing from Skacel.

Skacel always has a say in this game. But Mark Stewart has to be the

most relieved man. He will be, would have had nightmares otherwise. We

have all been there. You have never been there. May be in training. Can

I save his flushes, probably not, he should score. If anything it is a

bit tight when it comes to him. I will give him the benefit of the

doubt. He will know like anyone else he should have scored. Such a

charitable individual. That interview there was very

interesting. What do you make of the fact he didn't know they will play

on Wednesday. That is the slight surprise that he is learning areas

of the position and maybe wasn't aware of that. But he won't make

that mistake again. It will be mentioned by a number of people.

Oddly enough I think when you look at what he looks at in the game,

first half they were the better team, third in the Senate after they

were second best by the distance. He is just delighted he is not out of

the cup and he only has one thing on his mind, he has another shot. I

don't care when it is. Hibs beat Rangers in the final last season,

and last season 's finest began the campaign yesterday, Rangers up

against Motherwell the first Hibs took on Bonnyrigg Rose at

Tynecastle. , set step away by Andrew Shinnie, it has gone in. That

is a nightmare for Michael Rogers. That is the kind of thing when

Michelangelos went to bed last night he would have dreaded. Keatings. My

fancy a go. Why not. Why not indeed? -- Andrews. Stevenson. The

goalkeeper has spilt it. Humphrey gets there. Now, penalty. Not much

context to be fair to Jordan Foster. Bonnyrigg Rose reduce the arrears.

Brilliant finish. Chance for Stevenson. Hibs enjoying themselves

when Lewis Stevenson scores a goal. Sixth, great save, Cummings is

there. Keatings, seven. Free kick. It is eight, it is eight! The fairy

tale dream on Bonnyrigg Rose turning into a nightmare. On the Fulford

work, down under the challenge of Hammell and Rangers had a shout for

a penalty. Into the middle, his 30th goal, his 60th appears and it has

Motherwell ahead at Ibrox. Kenny Miller with the header. Stunning

goal romp Kenny Miller. All to play for. Chance for them, virginity back

to McDonald's. Wes Foderingham with the save. Given away by McManus.

Chance for Kenny Miller to win the match, he has! Rangers have come

from behind to win at Ibrox. STUDIO: Scott, are you feeling today after

watching that? Obviously gutted. Quite distraught after the game, we

put a lot into that game and frustrated Rangers for big parts.

They didn't really have many shots on goal until obviously we scored.

We probably dropped off a little bit that take nothing away from Kenny

Miller, 37 years of age and still producing the goods. Even more so

this one, excellent finish under pressure. To concede that late on,

that is twice at Ibrox this year and that has happened to us. Sorloth

McManus with a pass again, what was the general feeling in the dressing

room? Just distraught really, there wasn't much so I think the manager

said it all after the game. How disappointed he was. The were

exactly the same. The cult once again goes missing. In the fourth

round. For another season. We will have to put an end to that at some

point. Hopefully we can do that next time. Shocks are the lifeblood of

the cup, time to see which permission clubs came a cropper. --

Premiership clubs. On paper this looked like a banker home when and

how they found the net instead of the posted may well have been. Saint

Mary, the bottom side in the Championship, grateful of any gifts

and it psych Dundee defending allowed John Sutton to open the

scoring. -- slack. Five minutes after the break they made it safe.

Again some defending to infuriate Paul Hartley with Stevie Mallon

allowed to tee up Jack Beard. This one in Dingwall had to pass a

couple of pitch inspections, Kevin Clancy seeing enough through the

gloom to give it the thumbs up and it didn't disappoint. COMMENTATOR:

Good ball, what a finish from Christopher Ritchie.

There he goes. Two County Brezovan, cross in and what a finish from

Andrew. Good effort. And on the rebound from Paul Quinn and they are

back in front. He continues on his own. Across the face of goal. It

breaks for the third Ross County goal. Boys on the right-hand side.

Inside his man, Lillian Boyce sliding in there for. That is some

gold from the boys. Really slack, Tony Andrew... He has tucked it

away. Can he finished the match

altogether? Great save but on the rebound... Boyce. Lovely feet. Jim

O'Brien. To round things off in terrific fashion for Ross County. It

is a long bus journey and the Highland league side had barely got

the fresh air in their lungs before they found themselves behind at

Firhill. Chris Erskine shining brightest to open the scoring. Touch

of offside about the second. The visitors certainly thought so.

Stephen Moore was not hanging around on punishing the defence as they

waited for the whistle that never came. The Martin taught a lesson in

the dangers of playing out from the back. No questioning Chris Erskine's

mind as to what he would do with this little gift. The goal-scoring

was rounded off by the captain. More holes in the Martin defence, Osman

the man to exploit and put the finishing touches on a comfortable

afternoon for Partick. Safely through to the next round.

Derek McInnis has made no secret of his desire to add more silverware to

the trophy room. And they got up and running, here. With any fears of a

potential cup shot delayed, Aberdeen were able to attack in waves. Nile

McGinn striding through to supply number two. Stranraer struggled to

handle the step up in quality. This handball was the last thing that

they needed. Rooney made no mistake from the spot. A landmark goal for

the striker, his 70th in Aberdeen colours. The final word would go to

McGinn, the Northern Ireland international curling home number

four as other gene marched confidently into round five --

Aberdeen. The Saints showed there was no rustiness as they sealed the

win before half-time against their League 1 visitors. Stephen McClane

all on his own with time to pick a spot. The number nine then

demonstrated he is just as dangerous as a provider as he is a

goal-scorer. A bit of cheek in the process, Blair Alston with a goal to

continue their Scottish Cup charge. Two teams who probably wouldn't mind

forgetting about the pressures of the Premiership basement battle for

a day, kill Marnoch handed debuts to five new players, Freddie Woodman

called into action by Ali Crawford. Perhaps first game nerves were to

blame for a rush of blood to the head from Osborne in second-half

stoppage time. Rakish Bingham brought down the curtain on the

Scottish Cup campaign from the penalty spot. All points north,

Elgin City took an Inverness Caledonian Thistle. The real Derby

buzz about this match there for us was Ellie Barber. Boro breaks, the

most northerly Football League ground in Britain. 12 and a half

thousand supporters crammed in here as Elgin City became the first and

last Highland league club to make it to the Scottish Cup quarterfinals in

1968. The ground hasn't changed much over the years. That was then, this

is now. Today Borough Briggs hosts top-flight opposition for the first

time in 45 years as city welcome Inverness Caledonian Thistle. A

fierce local rival from the past. There's a years of rivalry between

Elgin City and the two Inverness clubs. Today it will be quite

special in that it is the first visit to Borough Briggs for

Inverness. Obviously there's a bit of jealousy that someone local has

done a bit better than you. On the whole the fans are happy to see the

lads doing well. It goes way back to the 60s when they withered to top

teams in the high land league. Obviously they made massive strides.

It's great to get an opportunity to take them on again. We've got a

manager who has really brought another level of professionalism to

the club. His tremendous, and his assistant, they brought it to

another level. That's why instead of languishing at the bottom, we are

competing for a play-off place. We've done really well. When I took

the job here, the chairman stressed to me, if you get the team doing

well and winning, the support will come out in their numbers. They are

doing that today and I'm just looking forward to the start of the

game and seeing the crowd. I'm sure that will give us extra incentive,

the players will rise to that. It's the romance of the Cup. You never

know what might happen. Elgin have Shane Sutherland in their ranks, no

one in the British Football League setup has scored more goals this

season. Something to look forward to, no pressure on us really, with

them being a top-level team. There's an added motivation to do well being

an ex-player. It's got that feeling, it's going to be a big crowd, here.

We've got a week off, the lads of refreshed mentally and physically,

we are raring to go. We are looking hungry. We've got to produce a

performance. First half of the season you're looking to get

performance is right, second half is all about results. Today is about

results. Win at all costs. I don't care how we do it, as long as we

upgrade to the next round. Win at all costs would have to be winning

from behind, not pleasant viewing. A chance perhaps to try out a training

ground move. Mark Nicholson, the home hero. Borough Briggs, on its

feet. Losana Doumbouya with the level, not quite. This allowed by

the referee. No question about this effort, though. Larnell Cole dancing

through, delight for those in red and blue. Doumbouya causing

problems. Again, denied. Brilliant from keeper Mark Waters. Would it be

third time lucky for Doumbouya? But his afternoon would bear fruit.

Inverness in front for the first time. Would there be another twist

in this tale? It was written Shane Sutherland, but against his former

side, it wasn't to be. Shock avoided for the Premiership club. Plenty of

positives for the Highland neighbours. It's so pleasing for me.

I knew my players would give me everything they've got. The big

crowd, the fans got behind them and gave them that extra incentive they

needed. Getting the goal. Obviously I felt the first goal was important.

We didn't quite manage to hold onto it enough. Obviously we went a goal

behind. There was no panic or frustration in their play. There

were no fallouts on the park. Character was big for us, today.

STUDIO: Elgin are out but in a final look at the action from yesterday,

two leaked to clubs remain involved. Clyde manager Barry Ferguson boasts

an impressive Scottish Cup pedigree. His side fell behind early on. A

slight deflection helping this effort from Dylan Bikey find the

net. Separated by three points in the league to table, always promised

to be a tight affair. Peter McDonald levelled things up. At 36 years of

age, McDonald proves that age is no barrier to scoring goals. His second

here, his 16th strike of the season. And the veteran striker would be

presented with a chance for a hat-trick, when he was taken down in

the box. The Stirling keeper's superb save kept his side in the

Cup. Six minutes from time, Bikey swept home the equaliser and insured

his side will have to do it all over again at Broadwood on Tuesday the

31st. One of the goals of the round. Nicky Paterson with a moment to

remember to give East Fife the lead at Livingston. Nicky Cadden with a

free kick as Livingston searched the equaliser. A fine save from Mark

asked. Another save in the 89th minute.

No shortage of goals in this one and it was done firmly and who struck

first. Nicky Clarke giving them the perfect start. Only Paul McMullen

can tell us whether he was attempting a cross or a shot just

before the break. Either way his effort found its way into the net to

double their lead. By the hour mark, the job was just about done. Joe

Cardle smashing home the third. Allah were refused to crumble and

Stefan McCluskey marked his debut with the gold -- Alloa refuse to

crumble. Greig Spence's persistence was rewarded with a goal but the

rally from Alloa too late, Dunfermline were through. Falkirk

had a great chance to take but he made the save. Jamie Lindsay, unload

from Celtic, scoring. It wouldn't be the Scottish Cup without a pillar of

scaring a vital moment of action. The goal sealed by Ross Forbes as it

finished 2-0. A game of few chances at Somerset Park. This header from

Ryan McGeever about as close as either side would come to finding

the net. There was to be no breakthrough and a fourth-round

replay of weights them on Tuesday. The draw for the fifth round of the

Scottish Cup has been made and it was actually quite entertaining.

Thanks mainly to Rod Stewart, who certainly seemed to be enjoying

himself. I think he left SFA President hanging, that's the

technical term. All good fun. Here is the draw for the first round of

the William Hill Scottish Cup. As you can see, some juicy fixtures in

there, if Hearts can make it past Raith Rovers on Tuesday. That has to

be the tie of the round, doesn't it? They have to get by Raith Rovers

then Faith Kilbirnie in. If he can get through that he's an absolute

hero. It does push on the pressure a bit more but it looks to me by some

distance if they get through that, Hearts, then that's the tie of the

round. There are some other good ties. Ross County and Aberdeen, try

calling that one. Raith Rovers will have a say. Disappointing in a way

that Rangers and Celtic both with home draws? Everyone else looking at

it I would imagine so. I think the Dunfermline Hamilton game is a tough

tie for Hamilton to go there. I don't really like talking about it,

actually, because we aren't involved, it's rubbish! Some really

good ties. With that thing that always you, if you aren't in it. I

was dreading coming on! Should babe pic Rod Stewart the next year?

Absolutely, he was brilliant! -- should they book Rod Stewart for

next year. Sportscene is back next weekend. The Ladbrokes Premiership

returns. The summit was all an illusion, for

others it remains very real. Until next time, good night.

The Robshaws are going back in time again.

I feel a little bit overwhelmed at the moment.

How people did this every day I don't know.

Looks like they're going to need it. Calf's head...

Leave the teeth out of it, won't you?

It's incredible the changes that have occurred in just 50 years.
