Good evening and welcome to Sportscene. We have highlights from | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
the weekend's three Premiership games, and reaction from today's Old | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Firm League Cup final today. In the company of Steven Thompson and Scott | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
McDonald. We begin in Perth for the Tayside derby between St Johnstone | :00:59. | :00:59. | |
and Dundee. COMMENTATOR: Sam Johnstone looking | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
to bounce back from defeat against Kilmarnock last weekend. David | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
Wotherspoon starting in preference to Blair Alston. | :01:16. | :01:31. | |
Lovely flick, great touch and a chance for McGowan to create for | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
Teijsse. What a chance, what a mess. Paul Hartley is jumping around in | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the technical area in frustration. You don't get opportunities to much | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
better than this to open the scoring. But 1- to between | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
Wotherspoon and Foster. Hope made the challenge. Still alive for | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
Davidson. Skewing that across goal. Just behind Chris Cain. There looked | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
to be a bit of contact there in the box between Holt and Maclean. The | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
pair got tangled up. Steven MacLean didn't make a great deal of fuss | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
about it. This looks promising. Down goes | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
Murray Davidson with little contact involved. That is how it seemed from | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
here. Yellow forcing elation is the charge against Davidson. There did | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
not seem an awful lot of reason for Murray Davidson for hitting the deck | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
here. No way past Hateley. St Johnstone do | :02:43. | :02:58. | |
have the ball now. Great skill from Swanson, lovely nutmeg, and plenty | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
behind the strike. There is the nutmeg of McGowan. The shot, | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
although well struck, straight at Bain. Diving header from Foster. | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
Wotherspoon looking for the 1-2. Davidson, and a free kick will be | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
given for the late challenge on Murray Davidson. | :03:24. | :03:35. | |
Swirling in at the back post, Steven Anderson strikes for St Johnstone! | :03:36. | :03:49. | |
In the 62nd minute, it is his third goal of the campaign. Following in | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
the free kick from Craig. It was delivered into a good area. Steven | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
Anderson was completely unmarked. Chris Cain. Foster, good ball in. | :03:59. | :04:15. | |
Down goes Steven MacLean, penalty. It is a yellow card for Kevin Gomis. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
It is a chance for the Perth team, you would imagine at this stage, to | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
make the points safe. It was all a bit obvious. It is Danny Swanson, | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
and it is half a dozen successful penalties for him this season. His | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
ninth goal of the campaign. And that could be the goal, you would | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
imagine, that means there is no way back for Dundee, the goal which will | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
keep the dark Blues at the bottom of the Premiership, and hoist St | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Johnstone up to a share of third place. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
Steven MacLean, and now Swanson. This looks threatening. Lovely ball | :05:01. | :05:14. | |
in. Back off the bar from Michael Coulson. Delicious go from Danny | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
Swanson. The looping header bounces back off the bar. | :05:21. | :05:31. | |
Teijsse, was there a push? Yes, there was. Penalty given. A chance | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
for Dundee to at least get a goal back. It was fairly obvious, wasn't | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
it, from Steven Anderson. It is Rory Loy, and it is 2-1. A fourth goal of | :05:47. | :05:57. | |
the campaign for Rory Loy. Injecting late hoping to this for Dundee. I am | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
really pleased with how we played and moved the ball. We worked all | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
week on it. Moving the ball quick, getting the full-backs involved in | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
the game, getting them high up the pitch. Delighted to win, but I | :06:13. | :06:19. | |
wouldn't like to have the last 2-3 minutes again, because we put | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
ourselves in a position that we shouldn't have been in. We are in | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
the position where we are having a fight right now. We haven't got | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
enough points. It is not good enough. We had to take | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
responsibility, and do our talking on the pitch. STUDIO: Sam Johnstone | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
back to winning ways at another defeat. Did the referee get this | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
right? He got one right and got one wrong. I don't think there is an | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
awful lot of content between Gomis and Steven MacLean. The goalkeeper | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
is cited. A note in the back? It is soft. I'd like one of those every | :07:04. | :07:12. | |
week. This one is slightly more obvious. Steven Anderson here, two | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
armed push in the back. Clearly a penalty kick. It is a blatant push. | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
Just the two hands. The referee is in a perfect position to see that | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
one as well. It will be a good win in the end forcing Johnstone, but | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
how big are the defensive problems for Dundee? St Johnstone played very | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
well, but Dundee did not defend well. They are trying to hold the | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
line. Darren O'Dea drops, and for a player of his experience, he will be | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
disappointed. Darren O'Dea knows how to defend. You can see Michael | :07:52. | :07:59. | |
Coulson makes a run into the box. Unbelievable skill from Swanson, and | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
a header coming back. Problems for Dundee defensively. Here again, | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Gomis is deeper than the rest of the players. When the ball is played in, | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
he goes to sleep. Watch this. If Steven MacLean headed back across | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
goal, it is a tap in. There are problems defensively. Paul Hartley | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
admits there is a fight on their hands, bottom of the table, five | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
straight defeats, how much pressure is he under? Massive pressure. Five | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
straight defeats, no wins in nine, three points from 27. Massive | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
pressure. The game on Wednesday becomes a huge game against Partick | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
Thistle. If they can win, it could be a catalyst for them. Good three | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
points for St Johnstone. They churn them out. That is them up to third. | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
Level on points with Hearts. Was Murray Davidson lucky to stay on the | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
pitch? I think he was. He was booked for a dive here. He is arguing with | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
a couple of Dundee players that he accidentally fell over. As we see | :09:02. | :09:10. | |
here, it is probably a nine. He gets booked for that one. He is on a | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
booking. In this challenge. You can see it is definitely dangerous play. | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
The referee lets get away with this one. Ouch. Not where you want to get | :09:20. | :09:29. | |
kicked. Definite yellow, maybe even a read. He was lucky Tuesday on. | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
Neither Partick this'll all Ross County have managed a win in their | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
last 13 league matches combined. Yesterday provided a fresh start. | :09:37. | :09:48. | |
Not the best start to the season. We need goals. We are lacking | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
confidence. We will finish sixth or seventh. Fifth, maybe. Top ten if we | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
are lucky. This'll change shape. A couple of | :10:01. | :10:18. | |
changes for Ross County after heavy defeat from Aberdeen. | :10:19. | :10:27. | |
This all doing all the early pressing in this match. This is as | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
these against Andrew Davies. Davies sticking to his task. Giving away a | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
corner kick. Sean Welsh's one. Down goes Kris | :10:39. | :10:51. | |
Doolan and a penalty has been awarded. The referee spotted | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
something amiss. He had no hesitation as the corner was swung | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
in. The ball flicked on there and Doolan goes down under the tackle of | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
Ryan Dow. Sean Welsh, coolly taken. The dominance of the match so far | :11:09. | :11:27. | |
has merited this. Welsh with a third goal of the season to give his side | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
the advantage. County will be looking to do much better in the | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
second period. They haven't been at the races so | :11:36. | :11:44. | |
far. A chance here. There is current. So close to the equaliser. | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
The chance might still be on. Into the arms of the grateful Ryan | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
Scully. Curran coming closest. Partick this'll will want to add to | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
their lead. They are always susceptible to that kind of mood. | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
The challenge from Osman. A free kick goes Thistle's way. Into the | :12:12. | :12:24. | |
feet of Azeez. He goes down looking for the penalty kick. The referee, | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
in fact, has awarded a free kick against him. It will be a booking | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
for Azeez. Paul Quinn not happy with Aziz going to ground. They yellow | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
card shown to the Thistle striker forcing elation. He rather frozen | :12:42. | :12:50. | |
self to the ground -- for simulation. Can Ross County create | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
something here? The ball comes all the way through to the certitude. -- | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
to the substitute. Here goes Azeez. He is through on | :13:03. | :13:15. | |
goal and is clipped. Just a yellow card. County not happy at all that | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
they were denied a penalty. The cross came in from van der Weg. It | :13:24. | :13:33. | |
is a clumsy challenge. A let off for Thistle. | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
Ziggy Gordon backing, allowing but a shot at goal. An injury time | :13:41. | :13:50. | |
equaliser for Ross County. They had barely been in the game until the | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
last few minutes. Again, Partick Thistle have conceded late. They did | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
so last week against Hamilton Accies, and they were punished | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
thereby Chris Burke. His first goal for Ross County. A late leveller | :14:04. | :14:13. | |
from Chris Burke. Is there time for a Ross County winner? The visiting | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
fans in the main stand will be hoping so. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
A fine save by Ryan Scully from Ryan Dow. That could so easily have been | :14:21. | :14:33. | |
the three points for the visitors. I can't keep feeling sorry for | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
ourselves. We drew the match, which feels like a defeat. We have to | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
stand up and be counted, no one else will help. We have been in this | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
position before a number of times. I feel Partick Thistle dominated the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
first half. They came out of the traps far better than us. So we | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
changed things in the second half. I thought we were far better in the | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
second half and finished the game really strong. After eight hours of | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
golf free football, Ross County finally find the back of the net -- | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
gold free football. Lacking cohesion in the final third. They are playing | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
well, but in the final third, they are making poor choices. Azeez | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
should give them something. Maybe make a run across the defenders, but | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
does neither. It has to come out wide. Ross County are getting | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
numbers back and the attack fizzles out. It was indicative of how | :15:29. | :15:30. | |
Partick played yesterday. Azeez makes this run well, but they | :15:31. | :15:46. | |
do not give it to him. He has options, decides to shoot, poor | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
choices. We see Elliot breaking down the right-hand side. Azeez just | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
rocks, does not really make a run. Perfect opportunity to play it on | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
the inside. They will be screaming, saying, get out the box. | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
The poor referees are under the microscope tonight. In this match, | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
did he get it right? For the first one, definitely. In my eyes, it is a | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
complete penalty. He gets the to the ball, did not see too many | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
complaints from the players. I can see why this one was not given, it | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
could easily have been given as well. But this one here, the context | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
mac contact is made. But he takes another touch and then tumbles. It | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
is a definite penalty. It is more a penalty than it is not, but I can | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
see why the referee has chosen not to give it. | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
I cannot believe there were not more clubs interested in him. | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
Inverness and Kilmarnock began the weekend level | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
on points as they met at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium. | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
Kilmarnock aiming to build on that away victory | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
Caley Thistle hoping to pick themselves back up after that | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
Inverness bring back Meekings to central defence. Jonathan Byrne was | :17:14. | :17:35. | |
injured early in the win overseen Johnson. | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
Anderson knocking it high. Here is McKenzie. | :17:44. | :17:57. | |
He is looking for Kula Bali -- Coulibaly. It's Coulibaly himself. | :17:58. | :18:18. | |
And he picked it home. Williams seemed to get a hand to it but could | :18:19. | :18:28. | |
not keep it out. McKay, cotton possession nearby Jones. No Tyson. | :18:29. | :18:39. | |
Jones continues his run. It was Coulibaly beer, and he should have | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
done better, and he knows it. It was good play in the flank from Tyson. | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
But it came off the side of Coulibaly and into the keeper. | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
McKay. Anderson's header, going the wrong way. In towards Doumbouya. | :18:57. | :19:14. | |
Inverness trying to maintain a good run of home form. They have only | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
suffered one defeat in the last four, and that was to last weekend. | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
-- to Rangers last weekend. Here is Jones, he is giving McKay a hard | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
time of it so far in this first half. It's Coulibaly's shot blocked | :19:34. | :19:42. | |
the. It looked like Meekings was the man who made the stop. Kilmarnock | :19:43. | :19:53. | |
have not had a win in their last nine visits here. | :19:54. | :20:04. | |
That was creeping in at the post, but for the arrival of Jamie | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
McDonald. -- MacDonald. And it is off the post. Kris Boyd, | :20:11. | :20:36. | |
whose old me on the park for a couple of minutes as a substitute, | :20:37. | :20:46. | |
takes a deflection. -- who is only on the park. | :20:47. | :21:00. | |
And that is the equaliser. Four minutes from the end. And it is | :21:01. | :21:11. | |
Doumbouya with a second goal for Inverness. And he may well have | :21:12. | :21:20. | |
denied Kilmarnock the three points. Kilmarnock could not get it clearer | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
and the striker took full advantage. Is there still time for a | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
Kilmarnock? Here is Taylor. McKenzie was thinking about the short, it | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
came off the post. It just will not go for the visitors. One piece is | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
how this might finish. It can be tough to get the players | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
going again, but I have to ask whether my passion and the team talk | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
was good enough. Have a look at yourself before you look to blame | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
other people. A disappointed dressing room, we will dust | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
ourselves down. It is an indication to people that we are strong team. | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
We have got quality we can battle. The points are shared between them. | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
We have seen doom and gloom for a Kilmarnock so far this season. | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
Things look more likely, Jones, someone that you knew at | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Middlesbrough. Another hot prospect from the Middlesbrough Academy. He | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
has always been seen as somebody with something different, that | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
little bit of talent. He was more of a central player, but he seems to | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
have found his position for him. He loves being direct, beating players, | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
he goes on to get into the box to try to get on the end of things. I | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
think Coulibaly should do better there. A lovely little trickier. -- | :23:00. | :23:12. | |
trick. It Israeli exciting for Kilmarnock to have a player like | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
that. He really quick. He has got pace to burn. He is a player that | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
gets fans after seats. It has come together. At the back, | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
was Addison competent? They do not know. He should have | :23:30. | :23:46. | |
been giving depth, but he goes and gets in a bit of a mess. When you | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
tried to recover, he comes into the picture, slips, tries to defend with | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
his head. I think John Terry did that a few years ago. He's in good | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
company. , And it will be disappointed, it is far too easy. A | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
ball into the box that is not dealt with immediately. Addison tries to | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
use his head to clear the ball. He would be better to get his body in | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
front of it. Strange defending. Kilmarnock and Inverness on the same | :24:20. | :24:33. | |
points. This league is crazy at the moment. We have talked about Paul | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
Hartley been under pressure, but there is only a few points between | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
him and the other teams. And after all that, | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
the Ladbrokes Premiership No change in the top three, | :24:45. | :24:46. | |
but St Johnstone now level Dundee bottom of the | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
table on six points. It's been huge weekend | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
of semi-finals in the Yesterday Aberdeen reached the final | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
after they beat Morton 2-0. Today it was all about | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
the Old Firm derby. Rangers and Celtic vying for a place | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
in the final. A showdown at Hampden | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
Park this afternoon. An absolutely fantastic semifinal | :25:08. | :25:23. | |
here which finishes with Celtic taking on Aberdeen next month. A | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
very clever late finish from Dembele, a man in serious form. Pat, | :25:30. | :25:38. | |
Celtic were superb on the day. The only difference between this game | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
and a 5-1 defeat in the league last month was the fact he did not take | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
all of their chances. They had their chances, in the last third day could | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
have done better on your decision-making. He will be | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
delighted to be in the final. It was a great game, I really enjoyed it. | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
Celtic had the class, Dembele's finish was superb. They had the | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
opportunity to bring on quality players who also created something | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
for Celtic. Brendan Rodgers was powering about his team after words | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
-- air. I think Rangers did their job tactically. I think if they had | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
gone with Wallace high and wide on one side and Leicester centre has | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
exposed, they could have been in trouble. -- and left the centre has | :26:37. | :26:46. | |
to fix posed. Tactically, nearly spot on for a Rangers but Celtic | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
have moved on to another level. They were fantastic today, they hit the | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
crossbar, perhaps one wrongly ruled out as well. Aberdeen beat Martin | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
2-0 yesterday in the League Cup final for the chance to lift the | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
first over where of the Scottish football season -- beat Greenock | :27:06. | :27:15. | |
Morton. Were Celtic deserved winners today? | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
Had you not think anyone could argue that they were not deserved winners | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
today. Had they taken their chances earlier on in the game, it could | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
have been a few more. Rangers, to their credit, stayed in the game. He | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
thought that the longer that it went on, they kid get it. Overall, Celtic | :27:33. | :27:42. | |
finally got that goal. It was absorbing stuff. Mark Warburton | :27:43. | :27:44. | |
suggesting afterwards that the gap had shrunk between Rangers and | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
Celtic, would you go on with that? No, the gap is still there. | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
Rangers's performances in recent weeks have improved. Tactically they | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
got it right today, but the gap remains. In terms of the final, what | :28:00. | :28:04. | |
would you see about that? Aberdeen against Celtic, mouthwatering. | :28:05. | :28:12. | |
Aberdeen are capable of getting a result against in the body. Yes, | :28:13. | :28:22. | |
Celtic could get the double, it would be great if Brendan Rodgers | :28:23. | :28:28. | |
could do it. And abridged Sportscene for you | :28:29. | :28:36. | |
