:00:36. > :00:46.The perfect start. Celtic. They are enjoying themselves this afternoon.
:00:46. > :00:46.
:00:46. > :00:55.They couldn't have witnessed anything better. What a strike for
:00:55. > :00:57.Watson. He's going for it. What a goal that is! Brilliant. Oh, that's
:00:57. > :01:00.something else. It's that time of the season,
:01:00. > :01:05.Celtic are champions but there are still European places and
:01:05. > :01:09.relegation to be sorted over the next three weeks. All the latest
:01:09. > :01:12.SPL action coming your way in the company of Dundee United skipper
:01:12. > :01:14.and Player of the Year nominee Jon Daly. United fans would have
:01:14. > :01:17.thought you were having a laugh by suggesting they might be in the
:01:17. > :01:22.draw for next season's Champions League qualifiers, but they are in
:01:22. > :01:28.the mix and, having lost to Aberdeen last time out, they were
:01:29. > :01:33.bidding to get back on track against Perth. It's a McDermott
:01:33. > :01:41.Park fixture with a recent record for goals.
:01:41. > :01:51.Back in August, it was 3-3 between this pair. And in February, United
:01:51. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:07.He's played for Hibs and Celtic but Riordan hadn't played for St
:02:08. > :02:14.Johnston until yesterday. Four other changes for the team. Dundee,
:02:14. > :02:20.despite ending a six match win went with the same players in a bid to
:02:20. > :02:26.with the same players in a bid to relaunch their European charge.
:02:26. > :02:32.Champions League football beginning in earnest here. An early free kick
:02:32. > :02:42.won in a very good area. The debutant Riordan is over it. What a
:02:42. > :02:43.
:02:43. > :02:47.start in the opening minute. Sheridan hits the woodwork. St
:02:47. > :02:53.Johnston almost making a dream start here. Opening stages of the
:02:53. > :03:03.game, Derek Riordan, one of his first touches as a Saints player.
:03:03. > :03:10.
:03:10. > :03:20.Daly. Back out. Good ball. It's been spilt. Not a renowned goal
:03:20. > :03:22.
:03:22. > :03:32.scorer, Flootd -- flood. Saints getting it away. Flood. Good ball.
:03:32. > :03:37.
:03:37. > :03:41.Dal. The man of the moment. -- Daly. Almost 22 goals of the season for
:03:41. > :03:46.him there. It was more hope than anything es.
:03:46. > :03:54.Daly putting the pressure on. St Johnston. Bodys in the way. That's
:03:54. > :03:59.going to come to Robertson. 1-0. Dunn due United.
:03:59. > :04:04.St Johnston couldn't get it clear. Strong play from Daly, Rankin and
:04:04. > :04:09.then Robertson, back to Rankin, Robertson with the finish. It's a
:04:09. > :04:19.fine finish from the midfielder. Kept his run going across the
:04:19. > :04:20.
:04:20. > :04:27.goalkeeper. Just a point separating these two teams in the SPL. Saints
:04:27. > :04:37.in fourth, Dundee United fifth. A booking for the challenge there. He
:04:37. > :04:41.
:04:41. > :04:47.was trying to get away from the scene. Sandaza. Hearts were awarded
:04:47. > :04:56.that late penalty against Celtic by this referee. Stpeef Lomas has don
:04:56. > :05:02.a fine job -- Steve Lomas. The referee spotted something off the
:05:02. > :05:06.ball. A straight red for Francisco Sandaza. He's done so much right
:05:06. > :05:11.this season, the former Dundee United striker. Red carded now.
:05:11. > :05:20.He's getting involved now with the Dundee United players. And now his
:05:20. > :05:30.own players as well. McKay is the skipper and he's pushing Sandaza
:05:30. > :05:37.
:05:37. > :05:42.off the park. A kick at Dylan there. Dixon. Good ball. Still alaif. --
:05:42. > :05:52.still alive. As the ball came in here, there was a slight shout for
:05:52. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:05.a penalty kick. There was a hand up. You would feel it would be the
:06:05. > :06:15.killer one. Robertson has the only goal of the game so far. It's all
:06:15. > :06:15.
:06:15. > :06:21.Dundee United against the ten men. Rankin. United looking to ice the
:06:21. > :06:26.cake and they have! No doubt where the points are going now. Rankin
:06:26. > :06:31.seals them for Dundee United. Houston celebrating on the touch
:06:31. > :06:37.line. United will go above St Johnston in the SPL now into fourth
:06:37. > :06:40.place and it's a terrific finish from Rankin. Unsung hero this
:06:40. > :06:45.season for the Tangerines. Peter Houston was getting excited on the
:06:45. > :06:49.touch line. Was there a feeling of relaunching your bid to nail down a
:06:49. > :06:53.European place for Aberdeen? Yes, the gaffer said before the game
:06:53. > :06:57.that St Johnston were probably lacking at it as the biggest game
:06:57. > :07:00.of the season and that's how we had to look at it. St Johnston had to
:07:00. > :07:05.beat us yesterday, it was a massive three points for us and great to
:07:05. > :07:10.keep a clean sheet. Three midfielders got the goals, taking
:07:10. > :07:18.the pressure after off you. And the guys have a habit of scoring in the
:07:18. > :07:23.same game? Yes, maybe three or four games supported there. Yes, ranks
:07:23. > :07:29.did that there and Robbo's kept his cool. He's got lucky here, bounced
:07:29. > :07:34.back to him and it's a great finish. Persistence. Rankin, took him a
:07:35. > :07:42.while to get his first goal and now he's got a few. Maybe he has 60 or
:07:42. > :07:47.70 shots before he scored his first. A great header from Ryan. Clever
:07:47. > :07:51.header into the space. Once he gets on the left peg, only one outcome.
:07:51. > :07:56.Dundee United must be the best team many the country at the moment in
:07:56. > :08:01.form when you lack at the last ten games. You have lost only one, won
:08:01. > :08:05.eight in the process, it's great momentum? Yes, definitely. Winning
:08:05. > :08:12.eight from the last ten, I think a big plus for us is all the clean
:08:12. > :08:19.sheets that we have. A llt of credit has to go to the boys at the
:08:19. > :08:22.back, Gavin has been immense and the full backs as well. I feel like
:08:22. > :08:25.I'm in the presence of greatness tonight because you have been
:08:25. > :08:32.nominated in the PFL Scotland player of the year awards. There
:08:32. > :08:39.you are, top corner, Steven Davies, Dean Shiels, Charlie mull grau.
:08:39. > :08:44.It's this kind of form obviously, the goals that's grabbed people's
:08:44. > :08:49.attention. -- Mulgrew. Why is this your best season so far? I think
:08:49. > :08:52.I've probably steered clear of injury this year quite a lot and
:08:52. > :08:56.the boys have been brilliant. I put it all down to my team-mates. I
:08:56. > :09:01.think my tape of game, I'm not going to get the ball and beat
:09:01. > :09:07.three or four players and score a goal, I need quality service there
:09:07. > :09:14.and I've had it all season -- my type of game. Is that you thanking
:09:14. > :09:18.all your team-mates, the acceptance speech? Yes, but the likes of Paul
:09:18. > :09:23.Dixon has been immense and Gary and Johnny Russell laying on goals. I
:09:23. > :09:28.have to be thankful to them. What's the goal celebration about? We have
:09:28. > :09:33.seen plenty of it? It was a YouTube clip that I was shown by Paul Reid
:09:33. > :09:38.at the club and he taulgt me to do it one day and I did it after the
:09:38. > :09:44.Aberdeen game one day and I just took off -- taught me. You must
:09:44. > :09:50.take a lot of pride from the SPL charts that show you up against
:09:50. > :09:56.Gary Cooper. You must be chuffed when you look at that and the
:09:56. > :10:01.chance to be the first Dundee United player since Andy Grey to
:10:01. > :10:05.finish top player? Yes, Hooper is a fantastic striker but again, it's
:10:05. > :10:08.down to the service and quality of the delivery of geting it into the
:10:08. > :10:12.box and the boys have been great and thankfully we have been in
:10:12. > :10:16.there to put them away. Some of your team-mates are on the honours
:10:16. > :10:24.list this season as well for Young Player of the Year. Forest of
:10:24. > :10:28.Celtic there, McKay, Russell and McLean as well. They've both been
:10:28. > :10:34.terrific. Firstly, Russell came alive in the course of the season,
:10:34. > :10:39.didn't he? Yes, he did. This is the game I remember where he scored a
:10:39. > :10:43.couple of goals before this, he had a dip in form and the manager left
:10:43. > :10:47.him out and then he came off the bench that day when we were
:10:47. > :10:52.struggling and scored two and set us up for victory. This was
:10:52. > :11:02.special? A great goal, yes. His force touch was brilliant. To beat
:11:02. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:13.a few players and slot it away was bad thing about this lad, such a
:11:13. > :11:18.nice lad and down-to-earth, the type of guy that you would like to
:11:18. > :11:24.see go all the way. It tells you a lot about his confidence. Is this
:11:24. > :11:30.known as the Gaz get-away? Yes, and he's informed me that he has a GMS
:11:30. > :11:36.as well, so I'm waiting to see that one.
:11:36. > :11:39.And one on the plate for you? he showed us that he doesn't go on
:11:39. > :11:44.the outside all the time. He comes down the inside and puts a great
:11:44. > :11:48.ball in for me to put away. Talking of nominations, what about Peter
:11:48. > :11:53.Houston for no more nations of the season. Neil Lennon's taken Celtic
:11:53. > :11:57.to the Championship and Stuart McCall for Motherwell, but
:11:57. > :12:00.Houston's almost completely rebuilt Dundee? He has and the pressure at
:12:00. > :12:04.the start of the season when we didn't start so well, you know,
:12:04. > :12:10.he's turned it round and I wouldn't be surprised if his name was in
:12:10. > :12:14.there when it comes around. Celtic's last trip to Fir Park
:12:14. > :12:18.sparked a turnaround. The fixture today was much more important you
:12:18. > :12:24.would have thought to a Motherwell team chasing a Champions League
:12:24. > :12:34.dream. Motherwell were minus suspended
:12:34. > :12:50.
:12:50. > :12:57.pair. Some back after their bans playing like champions. The title
:12:57. > :13:04.clinched in their last league game. Got a touch. Goes wide. He's
:13:04. > :13:14.looking for a penalty. O'Reilly waving his claims away. Having his
:13:14. > :13:14.
:13:14. > :13:22.shirt tugged by Hamill. Higdon. Humphrey. Good effort. Good save.
:13:22. > :13:32.Lucas. Sprang to his right and threw out a glove to push this
:13:32. > :13:39.
:13:39. > :13:42.start something far Celtic. A big chance, it's gone wide! He has had
:13:42. > :13:52.precious few opportunities to shine in the Celtic first team. A golden
:13:52. > :13:53.
:13:53. > :13:56.chance. He did not tackle this with any great conviction at all. Celtic
:13:56. > :14:06.manager Neil Lennon is banned from the touchline so he is in
:14:06. > :14:11.
:14:11. > :14:18.communication from the directors' box. That was a great cut back. He
:14:18. > :14:28.has tucked it wide. Celtic unable to make the most of this
:14:28. > :14:44.
:14:44. > :14:54.goalkeeper's legs but he got enough on it to again frustrate Celtic's
:14:54. > :15:09.
:15:09. > :15:18.Polish striker. It is still up his mind. In the end, he neither
:15:19. > :15:28.she did or cut it back. What a big moment for this 18-year-old, his
:15:29. > :15:41.
:15:41. > :15:51.great ball in. Tony Watt scores on his debut! What a moment for the
:15:51. > :16:01.teenager. A brilliant finish. Lots to do beyond the back post foster
:16:01. > :16:12.
:16:12. > :16:19.the keeper got a hand to it but he Watt. He has scored again! It is
:16:19. > :16:23.the day of his dreams, a prolific scorer for Celtic's Under 19s but
:16:23. > :16:28.he scored within three minutes of coming on for the top team. He has
:16:28. > :16:35.only gone and done it again! chance of Stuart McCall's team
:16:36. > :16:42.getting anything from this game now are pretty slim. Celtic very much
:16:42. > :16:51.in control. One of their outstanding players today on the
:16:51. > :17:00.ball. Looking to do more damage. Finding room for the shot. Good
:17:00. > :17:10.save! Pickwick the shift and hit. Touched over the top by the
:17:10. > :17:10.
:17:10. > :17:18.Motherwell keeper. They measured pass out wide. -- at a measured
:17:18. > :17:24.pass. Having a look at what is on. There is Cha Du-Ri! He was not
:17:24. > :17:31.going to miss this time, the Korean. Timing it to perfection. Matching
:17:31. > :17:35.the ball in. Crashing a header in the to round things off what Celtic.
:17:35. > :17:39.3-0. Tony Watt scoring his debut 3-0. Tony Watt scoring his debut
:17:39. > :17:45.was memorable enough for him at the time. Something special today for.
:17:45. > :17:50.He was not hanging about and having an impact off the bench. The debut
:17:50. > :17:54.of his dreams. He has come on and of his dreams. He has come on and
:17:54. > :17:59.it is a great ball into the box. What I like is his movement to get
:17:59. > :18:04.a way from his marker. To score from there is a ridiculous finish.
:18:04. > :18:11.They're really nice touch. They couple of minutes later, they were
:18:11. > :18:16.set up for number two. He shows great confidence again. Just plays
:18:17. > :18:25.it 3 the defender's legs and across the keeper. A cracking finish. --
:18:25. > :18:29.plays it through. It is Grade was a thick are producing out of their
:18:29. > :18:33.youth academy -- it is great. Having the League wrapped up
:18:33. > :18:38.already, it is a great opportunity to bring fruit boys and give them
:18:38. > :18:42.some game times. Motherwell will be disappointed not to get anything
:18:42. > :18:48.from the game. You have picked up three points from them and now it
:18:48. > :18:51.Encouraging. I know you don't want to get incited but it is a good
:18:51. > :18:55.incentive to have. When you look at the fixtures and the fact that you
:18:55. > :18:58.are at home to Hearts before Motherwell play St Johnstone
:18:58. > :19:03.because of the goal difference in means that if you will that game,
:19:03. > :19:08.you will be third by the time they played. It could be a nice transfer
:19:08. > :19:14.of pressure. It is an opportunity to deploy pressure and I think
:19:14. > :19:18.Motherwell have been fantastic. It is going to be tough for us to get
:19:18. > :19:22.it but I think we are delighted to be within touching distance of them.
:19:22. > :19:28.The last fixture there against Motherwell away, if we are within
:19:28. > :19:34.touching distance then, it would be great. Are you under orders to keep
:19:34. > :19:40.a lid on expectations? I am just being honest. We are on great form
:19:40. > :19:46.at the moment but I look at the fixtures we have got. Hearts are a
:19:46. > :19:50.fantastic side, Rangers, Celtic, Motherwell. It is the top teams.
:19:50. > :19:57.interesting race for the third place in the S P R. It could not
:19:58. > :20:07.meet tougher times far -- in the best PR. It could not be tougher
:20:08. > :20:22.
:20:22. > :20:26.half. Celtic have drawn level at last. A penalty kick! The former
:20:27. > :20:36.Celtic striker up against Fraser for stuff. Finds the back of the
:20:37. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:46.net. Hearts are surely going to be back in the game. There was only
:20:46. > :20:55.one change the Hearts manager made to the starting line-up for
:20:55. > :21:05.yesterday's games. Rangers were minus their keeper. Stephen
:21:05. > :21:20.
:21:20. > :21:29.goes in the favour of Rangers. He wants a word with Andy Webster.
:21:29. > :21:36.That is why the free-kick has been awarded. A lovely goal from Sone
:21:36. > :21:45.Aluko to open the scoring! He told her it out of the reach of Jamie
:21:45. > :21:55.McDonald. Tremendous strike from the winner. Rangers take the lead.
:21:55. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:08.Well-played by... A terrific save by the keeper. They thought they
:22:08. > :22:11.
:22:11. > :22:16.had doubled the lead. A tricky one for MacDonald to deal with. Randy
:22:16. > :22:26.little causing him some problems -- Andy Little causing him some
:22:26. > :22:27.
:22:27. > :22:36.problems. There is Andy Little. A second Rangers goal! It is Andy
:22:36. > :22:45.Little, the man who has got it. It fell kindly for him. He skipped it
:22:45. > :22:50.over and within five minutes Rangers have scored two goals.
:22:50. > :22:58.Hearts desperately need to get something from this match. The
:22:58. > :23:08.wrong side of the post as far as he is concerned. They are still not
:23:08. > :23:15.
:23:15. > :23:25.out of this. A good save. He got hold of that one well. They pushed
:23:25. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:59.a goal back. A lifeline for them. Against the crossbar from the man
:23:59. > :24:06.who was the hero from the penalty spot last weekend. Not so at
:24:06. > :24:15.Tynecastle and Rangers two-goal lead is preserved. He just could
:24:15. > :24:25.not get their. The Rangers fans and players breathe a sigh of relief as
:24:25. > :24:38.
:24:38. > :24:45.simple task of Andy Little to double his own tally and make it a
:24:45. > :24:53.third for Rangers. A terrific move. Andy Little could not miss from
:24:53. > :24:58.there. The run was perfectly timed. No question of offside. I suppose
:24:58. > :25:03.it was always going to be difficult after the height of last weekend to
:25:03. > :25:07.reproduce again it against the other half. Playing against Rangers
:25:07. > :25:13.who have been on good form lately and full of good players. It was
:25:13. > :25:19.always going to be a difficult game. The penalty missed was a key moment.
:25:19. > :25:26.The free-kick with a Sone Aluko. Sometimes you are looking for a
:25:26. > :25:30.badly placed goalkeeper. If you look at the movement on the ball,
:25:30. > :25:34.it is moving away from the keeper all the time. I do not really think
:25:34. > :25:37.there is an awful lot the keeper can do. Rangers in administration
:25:37. > :25:42.has created opportunities for fringe players to come in and show
:25:42. > :25:50.what they can do. It is good seeing Andy Little showing what he can do.
:25:50. > :25:53.He has scored 5 Rangers went into administration. He has had career-
:25:53. > :26:02.threatening injuries. But he is grabbing his chance, isn't he?
:26:02. > :26:06.is. It has given him an opportunity for another striker and his seems
:26:07. > :26:13.to be Andy Little... If you look at the goals he is scoring, he is
:26:13. > :26:19.scoring some cracking doubles. He follows the shot spin and finishes
:26:19. > :26:24.them. His contract is up at the end of the season consult -- the end of
:26:24. > :26:29.the season. There is no bad news if he is scoring goals at the moment.
:26:29. > :26:33.Rangers will want to hold on to him if he keeps scoring. Every time he
:26:34. > :26:39.has played against us, he has done well. How do you feel about Rangers
:26:39. > :26:43.at the moment? Will they be in the SDL next season? They are one of
:26:43. > :26:49.the biggest clubs in Scotland, even the UK. When you see a team like
:26:49. > :26:52.that struggling, it is not good. The best bits of this season for
:26:52. > :26:55.Inverness and Aberdeen will probably be the end of it. They
:26:55. > :27:05.went head-to-head this weekend and Jonathan Sutherland will talk us
:27:05. > :27:07.
:27:07. > :27:10.the sticks far Aberdeen for the first time since his life
:27:10. > :27:20.threatening brain seizure. It was great to see him back and he was
:27:20. > :27:22.
:27:22. > :27:30.busy straightaway. He has always been a good shot-stopper and he
:27:30. > :27:36.clearly has not lost it. A stab at goal but again he came to the
:27:36. > :27:39.rescue. Inverness defender Steve Williams has scored once already
:27:39. > :27:45.this season. He thought he had scored a second as he smashed the
:27:45. > :27:52.ball into the Aberdeen net but an offside flag kept the scoreline at
:27:52. > :28:02.0-0. Aberdeen would create very few chances themselves. This was one of
:28:02. > :28:03.
:28:03. > :28:09.them. The shot was wide of the post. A shrewd through-ball. Despite
:28:09. > :28:13.their limp attacking threat, Aberdeen would take the lead thanks

:28:28. > :28:35.good luck soon after went this shot cannoned off his arms. No penalty
:28:35. > :28:39.though. They then demonstrated how you cult a free-kick as Inverness
:28:39. > :28:45.set about finding an equaliser. The 20 year-old with no goals from what
:28:45. > :28:48.has been a frustrating injury- ravaged season. Then Shane
:28:48. > :28:53.Sutherland fashioned himself a chance from which he thought he
:28:53. > :28:58.should have done better. Do not be under any illusions from these
:28:58. > :29:07.highlights, this was humdrum end- of-season fare with a hapless
:29:07. > :29:12.moment still yet to come. In the 89th minute, they steamed through
:29:12. > :29:19.the middle of the Inverness defence, his shot was saved, but the ball
:29:19. > :29:29.was bundled into Deraa net. 2-0 took Aberdeen, to own goals for
:29:29. > :29:34.
:29:34. > :29:39.Inverness. Too much for the furious back after suffering that seizure.
:29:39. > :29:43.It must be fantastic for him to be back in action? Yes, he must be
:29:43. > :29:49.delighted to be playing again. When something like that happens, you
:29:49. > :29:54.must be thinking you will never play again. Lovely to see him keep
:29:54. > :29:57.a clean sheet and make a few saves. On form and back in the Aberdeen
:29:57. > :30:01.goal yesterday. Was I right to say about the teams that they'll
:30:01. > :30:04.probably be glad to get to the end of the season because it doesn't
:30:04. > :30:09.hold much excitement? Possibly. That can happen with the split
:30:09. > :30:12.sometimes. When the split happens, you can't go any further and they
:30:12. > :30:17.are both going to be safe so there's no threat of relgaition.
:30:18. > :30:24.They'll be looking forward to the summer break -- relegation.
:30:24. > :30:28.have to imagine that every match for Dunfermline has a scramble
:30:28. > :30:37.towards SPL safety. St Mirren now and Liam has the best of the action.
:30:37. > :30:42.There was plenty of it. Dunfermline find themselves seven
:30:42. > :30:49.points adrift at the bottom of the SPL. It's crucial they pick up
:30:49. > :30:59.points. Time is running out for them. It's seines on the ball
:30:59. > :31:04.though. McGowan. Hasselbaink. Good skill. St Mirren are in front!
:31:04. > :31:14.Hasselbaink rewarded for his tenacity and he slipped it under
:31:14. > :31:16.
:31:16. > :31:20.Smith. The former Saints goalkeeper. Dunfermline stirring down the
:31:20. > :31:27.barrel again. Need the find inspiration from somewhere. Graham.
:31:27. > :31:37.Off the post. This is a terrific effort from Graham. So unlucky.
:31:37. > :31:38.
:31:38. > :31:48.Graham. Another former St Mirren player. Macmillan. It's a great
:31:48. > :32:16.
:32:16. > :32:23.header. And St Mirren hit the wood work. Thompson could do nothing
:32:23. > :32:33.with the rebound. Really good deep delivery from Carey. The downward
:32:33. > :32:34.
:32:34. > :32:41.header from McGowan. Slack. Dunfermline. Hasselbaink who scored
:32:41. > :32:47.the first of the afternoon. Rem I Emre. Back to McLean. Carey is up
:32:47. > :32:52.for this attack as well. A great ball. 2-1 to St Mirren. Thompson
:32:52. > :33:02.their top scorer nods it back across the goalkeeper. That was all
:33:02. > :33:17.
:33:18. > :33:24.about the cross of Carey. Fantastic have options. His second! St Mirren.
:33:24. > :33:34.That relegation trap door is ajar right now for Dunfermline. Two
:33:34. > :33:58.
:33:58. > :34:08.goals behind. St Mirren with a 3-1 Graham bursts in. Dunfermline have
:34:08. > :34:20.
:34:20. > :34:29.a lifeline, something to hold on to. Nobody in there for saints. Cardle
:34:29. > :34:34.robs. Thompson. Hat trick. Thompson who came to St Mirren in the summer,
:34:34. > :34:44.he's a fan. He would have dreamt of that. A hat trick for Saints' main
:34:44. > :34:47.
:34:47. > :34:57.man. 4-2 St Mirren. Scored four goals a couple of times this season.
:34:57. > :34:59.
:34:59. > :35:09.Defending now. Buchanan. It's a Dunfermline once again are back in
:35:09. > :35:24.
:35:24. > :35:28.the game. When they ought to be out It's in! 4-4! An incredible game.
:35:28. > :35:35.Dunfermline will celebrate the point. It may not even be enough
:35:35. > :35:37.but they've come back somehow into this match. St Mirren 4,
:35:37. > :35:41.Dunfermline 4. Steven Thompson should have been on
:35:41. > :35:45.the winning side. 15 goals for the season from him. On the six behind
:35:45. > :35:49.you, but three great finishes from him here? Yes, I think he's a great
:35:49. > :35:54.player, a great lad as well and he thrives on service like that. If
:35:54. > :35:59.you put the ball in the box like that, he'll score plenty. Two great
:35:59. > :36:03.headers there. The next one is a fantastic finish as well. Great
:36:03. > :36:07.pressure there and great first touch and rifles it into the top
:36:07. > :36:11.corner and it's a great hat trick. When you look at a couple from the
:36:11. > :36:14.other side of the coin, it's poor defending, switching off defending
:36:14. > :36:17.from Dunfermline and they can't afford that? Yes, they are trying
:36:17. > :36:22.to play out from the back and it's nice to do that sometimes but I
:36:22. > :36:26.think there's a time and a place for it and the last goal there that
:36:26. > :36:28.we seen, they should have dealt with that better. What was positive
:36:28. > :36:31.from Dunfermline's point of view was the fightback qualities they
:36:31. > :36:34.showed in this game. They were always on the back foot but they
:36:34. > :36:38.were always coming back? Yes, definitely. If they were going to
:36:38. > :36:42.have any chance of staying up, they are going to need to do that and
:36:42. > :36:52.not give up. This goal here is great, well worked and great one
:36:52. > :36:57.
:36:57. > :37:00.touch football in the edge of the box, a great finish. They'll be
:37:00. > :37:05.hoping this could be an important point for them? Yes, to come back
:37:05. > :37:07.from 4-2 down to get a point is a massive point. Before the game,
:37:07. > :37:13.they obviously would have been lacking at getting the telepoints
:37:13. > :37:17.but the way the game panned out, they'll take a point. What was
:37:17. > :37:22.looking like a forgettable season for Hibs could have a memorable
:37:22. > :37:32.ending, on course for SPL survival and last weekend reached the
:37:32. > :37:47.
:37:47. > :37:53.Scottish kun final -- Cup Final. Joud standing. That may be the goal
:37:53. > :38:03.that takes them to the Scottish Cup final. Scored by Lee Griffiths.
:38:03. > :38:12.
:38:12. > :38:22.The best of the action by Paul Hibs. Been a positive start to the
:38:22. > :38:25.
:38:25. > :38:31.match. Griffiths dropped the shoulder, opened up. A decent save.
:38:31. > :38:37.Griffiths wide. Chance for him. Fabulous tackle from O'Leary. Cost
:38:37. > :38:44.his side problems and came back to dig them out of the hole. O'Connor
:38:44. > :38:51.looked up, knew where Lee Griffiths was. Griffiths couldn't take him
:38:51. > :39:01.out as he wanted. Great clearance.. Wide. Dangerous on the right hand
:39:01. > :39:06.
:39:06. > :39:16.side. The referee says goal kick.. And he's furious. He thinks there
:39:16. > :39:20.
:39:20. > :39:30.was contact here. Stevenson. Hibs skipper coming close to his first
:39:30. > :39:38.
:39:38. > :39:46.goal for Hibs. Stevenson. Wide on the left. Just off target. Harkins
:39:46. > :39:51.needs support. Gordon. Nice ball into Kelly. Down by Claros, penalty
:39:51. > :40:01.kick. Thompson standing just two or three yards away simply pointed to
:40:01. > :40:05.
:40:05. > :40:13.the spot. Can he do this for Killie? He certainly can. She'lls,
:40:13. > :40:21.who refuses to celebrate in any great style puts Killi ahead --
:40:22. > :40:31.Shiels. Griffiths opens up. Deflect off O'Leary. Couldn't get the power
:40:32. > :40:46.
:40:46. > :40:51.he wanted. Kilmarnock get away on this. Claros. First of all, the
:40:51. > :40:56.Haim for the penalty. Dayton hits it off himself. That would have
:40:56. > :40:59.been harsh. Great control by Claros. We were speaking about that point
:40:59. > :41:03.for Dunfermline and suddenly when Hibs get nothing in a home game
:41:03. > :41:08.against Kilmarnock, it's a better point for Dunfermline isn't it?
:41:08. > :41:13.course it's a massive point. Only a couple of games left to go so they
:41:13. > :41:16.need to start turning those points into three points. Could be
:41:16. > :41:20.interesting because Hibs and Dunfermline play each other at some
:41:20. > :41:24.point in the next three weeks which could be crucial. Dunfermline need
:41:24. > :41:28.to get back another three points and they are level? If Dunfermline
:41:28. > :41:35.can win the next game and Hibs get beat, they are three points behind
:41:35. > :41:41.going into the next game. The next game is massive. It's a funny old
:41:41. > :41:46.end to Hibs -- old end to the season for Hibs isn't it? They
:41:46. > :41:50.can't rest players until they are guaranteed safety in the SPL. It
:41:50. > :41:57.would be nice to give a few boys a rest leading up to the Scottish Cup
:41:57. > :42:02.final, but until they are secured their safety, they can't do that.
:42:02. > :42:08.Three penalty shouts today, one given. What did you make of this
:42:08. > :42:13.one? Good defending, if I'm honest. If you see here, Dayton goes down
:42:13. > :42:19.easily and gets his arm across him but it's good defending. Claros on
:42:19. > :42:24.Kelly, it wasn't a tough decision? You can see by the reaction of his
:42:24. > :42:30.team-mates that it's a definite penalty. Shiels puts it away well.
:42:30. > :42:34.One of your rivals for player of the year. Dayton off his arm. He
:42:34. > :42:40.didn't know much about it did he? think the ref got all three
:42:40. > :42:43.decisions correct there. If it's given against you, you would feel
:42:43. > :42:45.quite aggrieved. Kilmarnock don't have much to play for but it
:42:45. > :42:49.doesn't matter for the rest of the season because they've won the
:42:49. > :42:55.League Cup, maybeing a massive difference? Yes, definitely. To win
:42:55. > :42:59.a cup is fantastic and the way they went out in the final was brilliant.
:42:59. > :43:03.They've not got a lot to play for but I think everyone down there
:43:03. > :43:07.will be pushing for that spot. it a refreshing end to the season
:43:07. > :43:11.for Scottish football that will be the first Edinburgh Derby since
:43:12. > :43:17.1896? You know well what the Scottish Cup was all about having
:43:17. > :43:20.got a winners' medal in 2010? it's a great day out for the club
:43:20. > :43:25.and great for Edinburgh to have two teams in the final and the
:43:25. > :43:35.atmosphere will be fantastic. check on the Clydesdale bank
