Sunday night football for you. Highlights of the two SPL matches | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
played today and four from yesterday. 20 goals to show you. | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Lots to talk about. And these two can do lots of talking. Steven | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Thompson and Pat Bonner. At Celtic Park this afternoon, it was top | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
against bottom. Coach Ray Farningham picking the Dundee team | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
after the sacking of manager Barry Smith with interim replacement John | :00:36. | :00:46. | |
:00:46. | :01:06. | ||
Brown watching from the stand. Al his hands as interim manager. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Harkins tried to find his way back into the back of the net. There's | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
:01:20. | :01:39. | ||
into the back of the net. Not a good moment for the former Celtic | :01:39. | :01:49. | |

Lennon is a contented man these Forrest. Gary Hooper goes down, | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
penalty kick. Matt Lockwood is in big over here. Three minutes after | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
being introduced as a substitute, Lockwood's game is at an end. James | :03:38. | :03:47. | |

the season for McGeoch true. Look Anthony Stokes just allowed to pick | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
:05:18. | :05:34. | ||
his past. Ledley sweeps into the smashers it. Celtic are cruising! | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
5-0 up. Another tremendous goal, both in the build-up and the | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
execution. Gary Hooper, 23rd goal It was a tough day for Dundee. You | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
remember Barry Smith from his early days. Were you surprised about the | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
timing of his sacking? Yes, he was a young lad when I was there. He's | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
done remarkably well. I was shocked at the timing of it. If they were | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
going to do it, they'd do it last January, that period when they were | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
talking about it. What is John Brown going to do in this next | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
period? Maybe the Cup games coming up, maybe they hope he's going to | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
do something for that final. I think Barry has done remarkably | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
well during a difficult period for the club. Then having to come in | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
without any preparation time, I thought it was a period they were | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
doing OK. They started off bad, struggled, then a nice period. I | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
know they are 15 points adrift now but they should be thinking about | :06:40. | :06:47. | |
next year. What are they thinking about? Tom Brown, has he been | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
brought in to win the Dundee derby next weekend, keep them in the SPL | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
or take them into the First Division? It's a big ask to keep | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
them in the SPL. I can't believe how badly treated Barry Smith has | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
been by Dundee. He's been a magnificent servant for them. It's | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
been shocking really. John is one of the many managers and coaches | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
who are out of a job and desperate to get a job. Nothing against John. | :07:17. | :07:25. | |
But Barry, they've won seven games now, almost on the bounce. You guys | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
would need to lose all of your sport to have any chance of staying | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
in this division. They've got to be thinking about next year. When you | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
sack a manager, he's a far better manager at this point and he was | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
last year. And he's got the players back in as well. They really liked | :07:42. | :07:48. | |
working under him. It's another big transition for them in what has | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
already been a really difficult season. They played a lot of good | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
football in the first half at Celtic Park, and they could have | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
been ahead inside five or six Fraser got off the hook a little | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
bit here. He was slow to react. Yes, technically offside. The ball was | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
very tight. But I would expect Forster to react quicker. The | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
difference now with the cross coming into those areas, you've got | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
almost give up on the far post and cover that near post. Brilliant | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
vision from Harkins. I think the goalkeeper was sleeping. It's so | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
tight. Some marginal. It's really interfering with him because he's | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
been caught. Technically he is offside, but if there's a run down | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
the line and suddenly the ball ends up in your area and you offside, | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
then you are offside. But they were unlucky. That would have been a | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
fantastic start for them. Unfortunately, it went against them. | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
Then, of course, they end up losing a goal. This was the moment the | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
game disappeared for Dundee. Start of the second half. Lockwood is | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
just on and he's just off. When you go to Parkhead and you've got 11 | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
men, it's very difficult. With 10 men it is nigh-on impossible. | :09:11. | :09:17. | |
Defending was poor here. You could say the full-back, what does he do? | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
Does he allow proper to sneak him in the box, or does he have to make | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
an effort to do something about it? Unfortunately he pulls him down. We | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
talked about this triple punishment, penalty against two, a player sent | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
off and now he's going to be suspended for the next game. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
pointed out, packed, that even though Lockwood was sent off and | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Dundee were down to 10 men, there was a better tempo about Celtic at | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
the start of the second half. They played a lot of good football with | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Ledley being the star man. Yes, I thought at half-time Neil wanted to | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
get him in. They did up the tempo. Ledley, he got his goal, the first | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
goal. Again, not great defending. But throughout the game Joe was a | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
different class. You see him running beyond the strikers. He's | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
superb at it. His almost all the time and marked when he makes these | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
runs. This was a fantastic or by another player who did | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
exceptionally well, Stokes. But he is Joe Ledley now. This is a great | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
example for young players to watch. He wins the ball almost in the | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
left-back position here. They break up the pitch, counter-attack and | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
McGeoch gets the ball from the right-hand side. He runs the full | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
length of the pitch here. That shows desire, commitment. Here he | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
comes into the picture. Stokes picks him out and he finishes | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
superbly. Stephen, you remember him well from your time at Cardiff. | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
when I was there he was just 20, 21. He had an awful lot of potential. | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
He really is fulfilling his potential at Celtic. He's got the | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
attributes to be a top midfielder. He's got a lovely left-foot, he's | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
very fit. Use clever, he keeps the ball well. I think he can go on to | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
be an even bigger star. And developing in international | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
football as well. He's a very Dundee United were winners at Fir | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
Park on Tuesday night and were chasing back-to-back victories in | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
the afternoons Tannadice meeting with Hibs. He is the action with | :11:31. | :11:41. | |
:11:41. | :11:57. | ||
score. It was played back to his right foot. His best side. Took too | :11:57. | :12:07. | |
:12:07. | :12:07. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :12:07. | :12:49. | |
long. Williams got his goal. It's Watson. You can see he got the ball | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
but how he got the ball is the problem. Definite free-kick. | :12:55. | :13:02. | |
Griffiths, McPake is up. Griffith swings it in. Hibs are level. The | :13:02. | :13:10. | |
goalkeeper came for it. Cierzniak couldn't get there. The header came | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
in from McPake. Then brushed the gloves of the goalkeeper. It goes | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
:13:25. | :13:35. | ||
in at the post and Hibs are level netting, a good hit from Leigh | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
:13:45. | :13:55. | ||
the goalkeeper. A good build up from Hibernian. Griffiths with | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
plenty of pace and the goalkeeper getting a finger Pip to turn it | :14:00. | :14:10. | |
:14:10. | :14:25. | ||
right -- fingertip to turn that into the back of the net and heads | :14:25. | :14:33. | |
have the lead. -- Hibernian had the lead. The goalkeeper was standing | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
in the centre of his goal as Leigh Griffiths let fly. As good as the | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
:14:48. | :15:11. | ||
three this term already. -- throws saved from Williams. Good play from | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:32. | ||
a united, getting better in the cross, but John Daly could not put | :15:32. | :15:42. | |
:15:42. | :15:55. | ||
it on target. Hibernian having to ball through. Inside the final five | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
:16:05. | :16:19. | ||
was a penalty. The challenge was outside the box. He meant the trip, | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
did not mean to concede a penalty. And Johnny Russell joins a very | :16:24. | :16:34. | |
short list of players are, so often Ben Williams the hero, but not able | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
to do anything about that from Ben Williams is having a great | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
season, but a major blunder for the first goal. When you share the | :16:47. | :16:57. | |
:16:57. | :17:00. | ||
I think that was a bad pass through the midfield up. -- midfielder. | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
Look at the defenders, surely they have to give him an angle to pass | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
the ball out to them? That is the way not to play. He is walking away. | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
A simple pass to the right hand side and the danger is gone. | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
have to get a credit to closing down the goalkeeper. You are giving | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
credit to the strikers. So his first stop the career, he should be | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
pleased with that. What about the equaliser? Should he have come for | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
that free kick? That is a fantastic free kick all played into a | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
dangerous area. He comes, does not get there, and it is a goal. | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Sometimes you question staying in, but I am one of those old-fashioned | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
people who thinks goalkeeper EU should come across. I think he is | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
probably at falls there. I would have to agree. I would love to see | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
it from back of the goal, because it looks like he's due saved that. | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
If he stands up straight, and get a couple of hands behind the ball, he | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
can beat it away, but he almost died so back with the ball. With | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
the modern game, Ball's move quicker. I do not think that one | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
dead. He knew could argue that, but you cannot see from the camera | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
angle. I think the goalkeeper is at fault for that. He should have | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
saved that. It seems like we will get goal-line technology, maybe 18 | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
yard line technology as well, because this was clearly outside. | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
shocking decision. When the attack happened, his feet outside the box, | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
both officials can see that. referee gives a penalty, and he is | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
outside the box, so that cannot be a penalty. Pat Fenlon must be very | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
angry. But a fantastic penalty, Ben Williams having no chance for that. | :19:00. | :19:10. | |
:19:10. | :19:26. | ||
hold of this second spot when to begin with. Keith Lasley on the | :19:26. | :19:36. | |
:19:36. | :19:39. | ||
edge of the area. Blocked by Quinn. It will be a corner for Motherwell. | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
Keith Lasley, the captain, back in the side after suspension. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
Motherwell corner, flicked on. It is cleared off the line by Iain | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
Vigurs. Motherwell have it, until County get it to safety through | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Richard Brittain. It looked like a well-practised move off the | :19:55. | :20:05. | |
:20:05. | :20:10. | ||
training ground. Motherwell cannot quite break through. A great goal | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
for County. It is a Ivan Sproule yet again. The County fans love him. | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
He has just arrived from Hibernian, of course. He robs Francis-Angol, | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
gone back on to the ball, and this is a Ivan Sproule's bed game in | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
five goals -- better ball in six games. The 32-year-old still has | :20:32. | :20:42. | |
:20:42. | :21:20. | ||
all the difference, getting in but debate play from Lawson into | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
the penalty area. They had done enough to see off Ivan Sproule. A | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
great atmosphere at this stadium. Motherwell fans in fine voice, but | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
County on the attack. A call for a penalty there. Sam Morrow went down | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
on a chance from Shaun Hutchinson. Coming together of the players, but | :21:44. | :21:54. | |
:21:54. | :22:06. | ||
County on their way to three points once again. Great play from Ivan | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
Sproule, picking out Richard Brittain, showing composure, and | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
what a finish from Richard Brittain, his eighth goal of the season. Some | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
return from the man destined to move to St Johnstone. Time ticking | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
away, this game very much over for Motherwell. The points will be with | :22:25. | :22:34. | |
county. Iain Vigurs, and it is 3-0, and the points are safe, and | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
another great victory for Ross County, it has to be said. Great | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
play down the right. This will be a sixth win in eight games for Ross | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
:22:56. | :22:57. | ||
County. They race up that SPL table. The season just get better. | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
incredible story and Europe looming for them, which could happen. I | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
think they have been feeding or what Inverness has been doing. The | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
two up in that part of the world. You know the fans. Both go to each | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
other's games, with a great rivalry, but friendly rivalry, wanting both | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
teams to do well. Having a remarkable season, needing to | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
establish themselves, strong defensively, but now kicking on and | :23:29. | :23:35. | |
starting to school chorus. -- score goals. Interesting looking at | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
Motherwell, all about collision at the start of the season, and Ross | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
County yesterday, the home team playing all sorts of expansive | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
football. Ivan Sproule has been an inspiring signing. We are all very | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
organised, hard to break down, but five goals in five games, giving | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
them an outlet, one of the fastest players. He is obviously really | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
confident. He has been a big signing for them. Yes occurred | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
setting up the goal. A lovely car finish. -- you see him setting up | :24:09. | :24:16. | |
the goal. Ross County probably got some unjust criticism for being | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
defensive. But they have won six of their last eight games. You cannot | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
criticise them too much. I would not bet too much and Motherwell. | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
They are so up and down, quite incredible, one last week, beaten | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
this week. Some contracts. Two teams at Tynecastle yesterday in | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
desperate and these stash in desperate need of a win. Three | :24:40. | :24:50. | |
:24:50. | :24:53. | ||
matches since Hearts came out on a chance for Hearts and Andy | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
Webster. It came to him from Danny Wilson. Andy Webster yet to score | :24:58. | :25:08. | |
this season. Saw it come down to him, but clipped it up and over. | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
Doran trying to go past Webster. A free kick. Hearts captain taking | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
him down. Referee on call to give the decision. Driving in here, Alan | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
Doran. The right leg of Andy Webster. Doran clips it in, and | :25:25. | :25:33. | |
Gary Warren! That is 1-0. Hearts cannot defend. Gary Warren, after | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :25:43. | ||
50 minutes, gives Caley Thistle the lead. It is his third of the season. | :25:43. | :25:52. | |
-- fifth. At the back post! The man who opened the scoring in the | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
Scottish Cup Final for Hearts really should have tapped that in | :25:55. | :26:05. | |
:26:05. | :26:11. | ||
for it. Lovely individual skill. Hearts are level thanks to the | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
right foot of Jason Holt. Darren Barr played him in with the | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
challenge from Draper. Look how quickly he wrapped his right foot | :26:22. | :26:32. | |
:26:32. | :26:34. | ||
around the wall and dispatched that scored! He brushed off Callum | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
Tapping. Billy McKay on the scoresheet here. A simple ball in, | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
headed across by Draper. Somehow Hearts failed to mark a man who has | :26:47. | :26:53. | |
been the top scorer for Inverness Caley Thistle all season. 22 goals | :26:53. | :27:00. | |
for the season for Billy McKay. The difference so far. Warren trying to | :27:00. | :27:09. | |
see it out. A corner kick. Warren none too happy. He flicked it back | :27:09. | :27:19. | |
:27:19. | :27:28. | ||
off his heel and the assistant level. Andy Webster missed a good | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
chance in the first half. Brings Hearts level with 16 minutes to | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
play. A wicked deflection, comes off Danny Devine. Ryan Esson had no | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
chance to move. Four goals in the match. These sides have drawn three | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
times this season. They are level again. Terry Butcher seeking | :27:48. | :27:58. | |
:27:58. | :28:05. | ||
clarification from the referee effort, too, from Jamie Walker. The | :28:05. | :28:15. | |
:28:15. | :28:18. | ||
Warren is up. That was too easy. Gary Warren, just three minutes | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
after Hearts drew level, has restored the Caley Thistle lead. | :28:21. | :28:25. | |
His second of the afternoon. They run under the ball and Gary Warren | :28:25. | :28:35. | |
:28:35. | :28:42. | ||
through for one more chance. Solomon to put the game to bed. | :28:42. | :28:49. | |
Instead hits the ball high in the stands. Quick on the break down, | :28:49. | :28:59. | |
:28:59. | :29:07. | ||
They've been brilliant. They'd gone off the boil in January. After the | :29:07. | :29:10. | |
match, they'd been asked by the pressed, would be pleased to get | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
the win after their wobble in January? He said, what war all, we | :29:15. | :29:23. | |
are sitting clean second. They've been superb. They had an | :29:23. | :29:29. | |
indifferent spell. I fully expect them to kick on again now. With | :29:29. | :29:36. | |
Koren again today, Forum's in Drew was a big blow to them. But they | :29:36. | :29:41. | |
got their goal, albeit from set- pieces, which parts will not be | :29:41. | :29:51. | |
:29:51. | :29:52. | ||
This is a case of how much do you want to head the ball? At the very | :29:52. | :29:58. | |
last second, Warrener shows a bit more desire. The other big lad, the | :29:59. | :30:07. | |
big striker, he goes in there but He just played the ball into the | :30:07. | :30:17. | |
:30:17. | :30:24. | ||
He gets in his road. Instead of clearing the ball, they just bang | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
into each other and that's the end of that. This is a spying mission | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
for you because you got Hearts midweek and then in the League Cup | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
final. Anyone seeing them defending like that with set pieces are going | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
to give them a goal. Yes, we'll be looking at that. I certainly did | :30:39. | :30:42. | |
think that Hearts defence of the world one of the strongest units in | :30:42. | :30:48. | |
the league. Certainly the pairing of Webster and Zaliukas, he's a big | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
mess, he's an inspirational player for them. But they've lost McGowan | :30:51. | :30:55. | |
at right-back. Now the defence isn't looking as strong as it used | :30:55. | :31:01. | |
to. Two home games in five days for St Johnstone. Number one went well. | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
Tuesday night's 1-1 draw. This was part two. St Mirren the opponents | :31:05. | :31:15. | |
:31:15. | :31:19. | ||
sides at start of play. St Johnstone with dreams of finishing | :31:19. | :31:29. | |
:31:29. | :31:37. | ||
second, St Mirren are currently off. The striker looking nonplussed | :31:37. | :31:42. | |
with his Evatt. The St Johnstone boss, Steve Lomas, called for | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
composure from the home side and they did begin to create chances. | :31:46. | :31:50. | |
When McLean went down in the box, the St Mirren defender was adamant | :31:50. | :31:56. | |
there had been no contact. What we got was the referee booking a | :31:56. | :32:03. | |
player for diving. In the second half even more controversy. St | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
Mirren defender McCausland and Goodwin convinced the final touch | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
of the ball had come from the heel of Rowan Vine. But a corner was | :32:12. | :32:22. | |
:32:22. | :32:28. | ||
Samson, the ball was fired home by eight Rowan Vine. His goal | :32:28. | :32:33. | |
celebration would commemorate his recently deceased dog. Moses the | :32:33. | :32:40. | |
dog remembered and St Johnstone 1-0 in front. Given the dubious merits | :32:40. | :32:47. | |
of the corner, grounds for a disgruntled feeling. Frazer Wright | :32:47. | :32:57. | |
:32:57. | :33:18. | ||
hassle bank was also a thorn in the Have St Mirren switched off since | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
reaching the League Cup final? they had a really good run of form. | :33:22. | :33:27. | |
Last week, poor against Hibernian. Yesterday, I thought the first half | :33:27. | :33:32. | |
was really even. The pitch was really poor. We didn't get any | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
fluency and our passing game. When that happens to us we often | :33:35. | :33:40. | |
struggle to adapt. The same thing happened yesterday. We lost an | :33:40. | :33:44. | |
extremely poor goal from a set- piece. Then we were kind of | :33:44. | :33:47. | |
throbbing ourselves into the game. That's why we left ourselves | :33:47. | :33:55. | |
exposed. We did have chances that you didn't show. He looked a real | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
prospect. He's very raw. He's very direct. When he gets his head down | :34:01. | :34:05. | |
and dribbles that the ball, he's a real threat. He was unlucky not to | :34:05. | :34:13. | |
score yesterday. Should it have been a corner kick? Mark McCausland | :34:13. | :34:19. | |
had said at the time it comes off Rowan Vine. Definite corner. | :34:19. | :34:25. | |
from the footage you would probably say so. The referee probably gave | :34:25. | :34:31. | |
it from his angle. This is poor. They think he takes a swipe at it | :34:31. | :34:41. | |
:34:41. | :34:41. | ||
with his foot. After that, the Could you not have dealt with it in | :34:41. | :34:45. | |
the six-yard box? It's four points in five days for St Johnstone, this | :34:45. | :34:51. | |
was their equaliser against Celtic. Very similar gold one early in the | :34:51. | :34:57. | |
season. Rowan Vine scored it. Exact same position. Cole's it around the | :34:57. | :35:04. | |
goalkeeper. He's done well. He looks quick, sharp and can score | :35:04. | :35:08. | |
goals. How impressed are you with St Johnstone? Bats them up to | :35:08. | :35:12. | |
fourth place. They are really good defensively, they don't concede a | :35:12. | :35:19. | |
lot of goals. They've got a vast array of different strikers. | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
Powerful and fast. McLean has been doing a great job for them. I | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
played with him at Cardiff and his tremendous at linking the play with | :35:26. | :35:31. | |
the midfield. And Rowan Vine as well. They deserve to be where they | :35:31. | :35:36. | |
are in the league. The return of record-breaking goalscorer Kris | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
Boyd at: it goes down as one of the surprises of the season so far. His | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
signing was seen - at sealed just before the home game against | :35:43. | :35:53. | |
:35:53. | :36:08. | ||
impact. There's Rory Fallon. He opening stages. How did that stay | :36:08. | :36:14. | |
out of the net? Cammy Bell with a crucial touch. It looked odds-on | :36:14. | :36:24. | |
:36:24. | :36:35. | ||
strike! He may not be the most prolific of goalscorers, but when | :36:35. | :36:42. | |
he does score it's inevitably a beauty. Cammy Bell just stood and | :36:42. | :36:52. | |
:36:52. | :36:52. | ||
Apology for the loss of subtitles for 92 seconds | :36:52. | :37:39. | |
just starting to claw their way back into this match, having played | :37:39. | :37:45. | |
been outplayed for the opening 20 minutes or so. Kris Boyd back where | :37:45. | :37:55. | |
:37:55. | :38:27. | ||
it all started for him, at Rugby the way of Kilmarnock for handball. | :38:27. | :38:37. | |
:38:37. | :38:46. | ||
It looked as though Sissoko might McGinn goes down. It's a booking | :38:46. | :38:52. | |
form again. Presumably for diving. Cammy Bell put himself in all sorts | :38:52. | :39:02. | |
:39:02. | :39:21. | ||
Bell. He really has been the difference today. Keeping his side | :39:21. | :39:31. | |
:39:31. | :39:51. | ||
I think this refereeing decision takes the biscuit. Absolutely. It | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
was an absolute Stonewall penalty. I couldn't believe he didn't give | :39:54. | :40:01. | |
It was a bad touch from the goalkeeper, then he goes and | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
books... It's astonishing. Looking at this on Monday morning, you've | :40:06. | :40:13. | |
got to be saying, why did you do this? In fairness to Cammy Bell, | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
when the ball was getting passed back to him, he does take a heavy | :40:16. | :40:20. | |
touch. If he lets me gained just take the ball, when he takes the | :40:20. | :40:27. | |
ball away he's going nowhere really. That wouldn't be on his mind. | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
Interestingly, this was Cammy Bell. That was a red card, which was | :40:31. | :40:36. | |
subsequently wiped from the record. I was on the programme the night we | :40:36. | :40:42. | |
did this. I think we said it was definitely a penalty. It was the | :40:42. | :40:49. | |
same referee? Maybe that was in his mind. Kenny had a bit of a goal in | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
the press about it. What are you suggesting? I'm just saying it | :40:54. | :40:59. | |
might have been in his mind. Maybe I'm out of order by saying it. I've | :40:59. | :41:02. | |
got to try and find some sort of reason why he didn't give that | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
penalty. No one has ever stopped you from saying what you like! | :41:06. | :41:13. | |
Cammy Bell was a bit fortunate but he made some great... He was the | :41:13. | :41:17. | |
difference between the two teams. He reminds me of that fantastic | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
goalkeeper that Rangers used to have. Same style, same build. Small, | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
not the biggest goalkeeper but he comes off his line so quickly. That | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
was a great save it. The second one as a double save. Fantastic. That | :41:30. | :41:39. | |
is what keeps the team in the game. He's an exception. He's not the | :41:39. | :41:42. | |
biggest, doesn't really deal with crosses in the box. You've got to | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
set your team up in a certain way for him to play and be effective, | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
but he certainly makes great saves. The Kilmarnock fans would love him | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
to stay longer up. They are justifiably excited at the moment | :41:53. | :41:59. | |
about the signing of this man, the record SPL goal scorer, Kris Boyd, | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
leading some impressive names in his wake. He signed with Qamar | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
Ahmed until the end of the season. He was sitting in the stand at | :42:06. | :42:10. | |
Rugby Park yesterday watching that 1-1 draw with Aberdeen. Bringing | :42:10. | :42:17. | |
back memories for Kilmarnock fans of this type of finish. He's a goal | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
machine, especially in the SPL. It's an inspired signing. | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
Kilmarnock have been skilfully working their way up the league and | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
are in a really good position now. One of a clutch of teams, there's | :42:27. | :42:32. | |
eight teams were been four points of 2nd. They will have their eye on | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
that. What a bonus it is to get a player of Kris Boyd's calibre. Just | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
when Heffernan is really coming into form as well. It's something | :42:40. | :42:49. | |
to think about. Playing balls into him, the width of the box, Viduka | :42:49. | :42:54. | |
was a typical type of player with that, play the ball into him, score | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
goals, finish. So he's going to be a real asset to Kilmarnock. James | :42:59. | :43:05. | |
McFadden has signed on. It's almost like a flashback from five or six | :43:05. | :43:10. | |
years. Again, two players, great for the profile of the SPL. | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
really hope he can get back to the level he was at previously. I think | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
he just needs games. He said really little much time. If he can get | :43:17. | :43:22. | |
back... That was always the problem for him, his fitness. But it's a | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
great bonus for Scottish football. In the last decade he's probably | :43:25. | :43:30. | |
one of the most exciting talents we've had. Ross County have | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
benefited from Ivan Sproule. Thomson is training with Hibs, I'm | :43:34. | :43:39. | |
Mucha if he can sign for them. It's such a tight league. They are all | :43:39. | :43:43. | |
looking for an edge. It's great to see two players, both of them are | :43:43. | :43:49. | |
29 years old. We are looking forward to seeing how they do. | :43:49. | :43:55. |
