:00:23. > :00:27.Good evening. Nearly four months into the season, the difference is
:00:27. > :00:32.only 14 points between top and bottom. Talking of bottom of the
:00:32. > :00:37.league, the Dundee captain joins me in the studio. We will start at the
:00:37. > :00:46.top, and Celtic's attempt to put an end to the recurring theme of the
:00:46. > :00:47.Celtic with the throw. Hoping to get off a good start. They have had
:00:48. > :00:57.get off a good start. They have had their problems after their European
:00:58. > :01:02.
:01:02. > :01:12.opened up well. Wanyama battled hard for it. An easy save in the

:01:33. > :01:43.layback from Hooper. Foran throwing themselves and Tudur-Jones comes
:01:43. > :01:53.forward. Shinnie goes himself. Caley Thistle's top scorer taking
:01:53. > :02:06.
:02:06. > :02:16.trick against St Johnstone in the League Cup. Just went too quick
:02:16. > :02:25.
:02:25. > :02:28.goal. It is Lustig who sends it wide. All credit to the full back
:02:28. > :02:38.for coming up in support. He perhaps should have left that for

:02:51. > :02:55.Motherwell ended a nine-game have the lead at Celtic Park with
:02:55. > :03:05.64 minutes played and Billy MacKay gets on the end of a lovely pass
:03:05. > :03:07.
:03:08. > :03:17.He took both out with that touch. And the touch on for Mackay. He was

:03:36. > :03:43.
:03:43. > :03:48.it did hit Raven that is a good is off the post by Warren. That is
:03:48. > :03:58.a vital interception. Gets the break, that it came off the post.
:03:58. > :04:29.
:04:29. > :04:36.to the joy of the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper came. It was knocked
:04:36. > :04:43.away. That is another free kick. Here come I Inverness Caledonian
:04:43. > :04:51.Thistle. The move forward. Billy Mackay is inside him. With a chance
:04:51. > :04:55.for two. Aaron Doran, no! That should have been 2-0. Initially off
:04:55. > :05:00.the bar by Billy McKay. He wanted all day and they should have been
:05:00. > :05:03.two head. Nobody could begrudge two head. Nobody could begrudge
:05:03. > :05:06.Terry Butcher his celebration at Celtic Park after words. We all
:05:06. > :05:12.remember the Scottish Cup but this is their first ever league win at
:05:12. > :05:15.Celtic Park. Sometimes when there's an away win at Celtic Park it gets
:05:15. > :05:19.forgotten because Celtic didn't play well, but I think for someone
:05:19. > :05:22.like Terry, seven games into the season may have not won a game. It
:05:22. > :05:30.was difficult for them. Many people thought he might be looking for a
:05:30. > :05:35.new job. It has been a dramatic turnaround. Is from four, Billy
:05:35. > :05:39.McKay, Andrew Shinnie, a lot of talent. They have certainly caused
:05:39. > :05:43.problems. Some people wondered how Inverness would react to being
:05:44. > :05:47.beaten by Motherwell. That is probably one of the best games they
:05:47. > :05:52.could have gone into on the back of that result. Going to Parkhead,
:05:52. > :05:57.there is no pressure on you. It is easy to lift yourself for that game.
:05:57. > :06:01.Taking nothing away from them, they go and beat the champions. I was at
:06:01. > :06:07.the game for Radio Scotland and Celtic were susceptible to counter-
:06:07. > :06:11.attack in the second half. The game became stretched, and Billy Mackay
:06:11. > :06:19.got the goal. That is what happens. When you have your chances you need
:06:19. > :06:27.to take them. When Neil Lennon looks back, he'll realise this is a
:06:27. > :06:32.bad one to lose. Charlie Mulgrew plays him onside. The game opened
:06:32. > :06:36.up. That suits Inverness. They can play counter-attacking football.
:06:36. > :06:42.They could have had a second. That would have been harsh many, but
:06:42. > :06:45.they were well worthy of getting something from the game. Normally
:06:46. > :06:51.when you go to Celtic Park they dominate possession. You need to
:06:51. > :06:56.ride your luck. Things need to go your way. It certainly went their
:06:56. > :07:01.way. Going into the midweek matches, Inverness could go joint top of the
:07:02. > :07:05.league. It is very impressive for a team like that to be in that
:07:05. > :07:09.position. More impressive is they have scored probably the most
:07:09. > :07:13.amount of goals in the league, but they have conceded a lot as well.
:07:13. > :07:18.To be in the position they have been for conceding so many goals is
:07:18. > :07:21.testament to the players. They are obviously scoring goals. That is
:07:21. > :07:31.seven games out of 14 in the league this season in which they have
:07:31. > :07:31.
:07:31. > :07:37.The home matches that have meant lost points, strayed on the back of
:07:37. > :07:41.Champions League games.And will be looking for a reason why. The
:07:41. > :07:46.Champions League takes a lot out of players, it's not an excuse, it's a
:07:46. > :07:51.fact. It is the manner they are giving goals away. That will
:07:51. > :07:56.frustrate him. As much as that is a great finish, it is from a set-
:07:56. > :08:01.piece. Celtic have lots of big players, you can win those balls.
:08:01. > :08:06.Celtic giving away possession cheaply. They give the opposition a
:08:06. > :08:10.left. If you do that, you struggle. The last thing Celtic want to do
:08:10. > :08:17.his chase the game. That does not suit them. Here is another
:08:17. > :08:27.individual mistake. Celtic have usually been defensive. The only
:08:27. > :08:28.
:08:28. > :08:34.conceded 21 goals last season. Already they conceded 13. When you
:08:34. > :08:39.going to Parkhead as the opposition. When you go there, you need to keep
:08:39. > :08:42.it tight, the fans can quickly turn if you get the first goal. I would
:08:42. > :08:47.imagine it's hard enough playing in front of 5,000 fans turning against
:08:47. > :08:53.you, when you have 44,000 turning against that must be difficult.
:08:53. > :08:57.These players should be able to handle it. A couple fans did turn
:08:57. > :09:02.against Neil Lennon. Are they not happy with beating Barcelona?
:09:02. > :09:06.know, it's amazing how one result changes things. Expectations are a
:09:06. > :09:12.lot higher. I think Neil Lennon is just asking for a bit of patients.
:09:12. > :09:17.They are still in all the cups, last 16 of the Champions League,
:09:17. > :09:25.top of the SPL and did not hit top form. He's looking for a bit of
:09:25. > :09:30.patience. Enjoy the football. You cannot win every game. Steven was
:09:30. > :09:35.not quite ready for his comeback yesterday. Could Dundee continued
:09:35. > :09:40.their recent revival? Ahead of kick-off, the Brummie a point
:09:40. > :09:50.behind St Mirren and the gloves were off. -- Dundee were a point
:09:50. > :10:08.
:10:08. > :10:18.behind. It is brilliant. Motherwell are on the ropes. We will stay in
:10:18. > :10:19.
:10:19. > :10:24.this division this year. It's a fight for survival. Second round.
:10:24. > :10:26.St Mirren and Dundee squaring up to each other. John McGinn to take the
:10:26. > :10:29.each other. John McGinn to take the corner kick. Steven Thompson met
:10:29. > :10:37.that at the near post and struck it off the upright. St Mirren almost
:10:37. > :10:40.taking an early lead. Riley will latch onto the end of that pass.
:10:40. > :10:48.It's a good cross, Stevie Milne with the chance, and St Mirren
:10:48. > :10:58.managed to hack it clear. Really good opportunity here for Milne.
:10:58. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:10.bad challenge by Colin Nish! Willie Collum, that's a straight red for
:11:10. > :11:20.Colin Nish. It did look like a nasty challenge. Dundee's task is
:11:20. > :11:30.
:11:30. > :11:33.round the goalkeeper. There's Steven Thompson coming in, St
:11:33. > :11:43.Mirren in front in the basement battle! Terrific passing from St
:11:43. > :11:56.
:11:57. > :12:05.makes himself a little bit of room. That's a fine shot and a really
:12:05. > :12:15.good save by Rab Douglas. He keeps the score at 1-0. Lovely skill by
:12:15. > :12:17.
:12:17. > :12:22.young John McGinn. So nearly found advantage. It falls for Kenny
:12:22. > :12:31.McLean. Douglas doing just enough to turn around the post. Kenny
:12:31. > :12:37.McLean, we've seen him score from distance already this season. Riley
:12:37. > :12:42.running at the St Mirren defence. Craig Samson has beaten that one
:12:42. > :12:52.away. He didn't fancy trying to hold on to it. Safety-first from
:12:52. > :12:55.
:12:55. > :13:01.Steven Thompson, good save by Rab Douglas! He really has kept his
:13:01. > :13:07.side in the match, the big keeper. Headed on by Gallagher, Stevie
:13:07. > :13:12.Milne. Claims for handball. It looked like Willie Collum was going
:13:12. > :13:15.to signal for the corner but he's given a penalty kick. He shows why,
:13:15. > :13:21.Jim Goodwin had his hands in the air. Stevie Milne whacked it off
:13:21. > :13:31.them. A chance for Dundee to equalise through Ryan Conroy. He's
:13:31. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:42.done it! Dundee right back in this have drawn level. It is all to play

:13:55. > :14:03.
:14:03. > :14:06.Mirren. Gary Teale will be the man to deliver. Curled towards the
:14:06. > :14:16.front post, it's Steven Thompson once more! A double for Thompson,
:14:16. > :14:19.
:14:19. > :14:24.Thompson. He just managed to angle the ball forwards. Danny Lennon's
:14:24. > :14:34.side have the advantage once more. Gary Teale's corner almost found
:14:34. > :14:41.
:14:41. > :14:49.Gary Teale, but it was missed by chase. Imrie looking to make the
:14:49. > :14:53.points safe, and he has! Three minutes to go and a third goal for
:14:53. > :15:02.the home side. It's the substitute, Dougie Imrie, always looking to
:15:02. > :15:12.turn back onto his favoured left the slightest deflection off Conroy
:15:12. > :15:13.
:15:13. > :15:23.second goal himself. Plays it across goal, and Gallagher doing
:15:23. > :15:28.
:15:28. > :15:38.well to put that somehow over his since you played. What is the
:15:38. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:44.It's been a three month problem. It is not an viry. It is more a
:15:44. > :15:49.medical condition that caused inflammation to go through my body.
:15:50. > :15:56.It was a difficult one to diagnose. But I'm on medication for it now
:15:56. > :15:59.and I'm on top of it and hopefully I will be back soon. You have had a
:15:59. > :16:05.groin problem too. But you're training and hoping to be back soon.
:16:05. > :16:11.I hope to be in training this week and see thousand rest of my body is
:16:11. > :16:16.-- how the, the rest of my body is fine. I have a groin problem. I
:16:16. > :16:21.will see if can I get back N it has been a frustrating three months.
:16:21. > :16:25.How painful was yesterday to watch, having got to close to St Mirren in
:16:25. > :16:29.seven out of nine game and losing that one. Yes, it was a big chance
:16:29. > :16:34.to go there and come off the bottom of the table. It is a hard one to
:16:34. > :16:38.take. Now we go from being one point behind to four. But we have
:16:38. > :16:43.got to take the positives. We went for so long with ten men and
:16:43. > :16:50.managed to compete well. And obviously, now we are four points
:16:50. > :16:54.we have proved that coming from eight points, that we can take
:16:54. > :16:59.confidence even yesterday. ending off of McNish was a big
:16:59. > :17:03.moment. This a case for the defence? Obviously I'm biased and
:17:03. > :17:08.defence? Obviously I'm biased and try to defend them. Having spoken
:17:08. > :17:13.to him, I know he is not malicious, I don't think he has went to thurt
:17:13. > :17:18.boy. But can I understand why the refees sent him off. I don't think
:17:18. > :17:24.that is most difficult red card I have seen. You can defend him, but
:17:24. > :17:30.the evidence is there. Colin's lost the ball and he has went and tried
:17:30. > :17:35.to get it back. If he play the ball he can get away with it. Because
:17:35. > :17:40.the foot goes over the top. Its not the spwepbts. But the rules are if
:17:40. > :17:44.you go in and raise your studs and it is dangerous, then you're off
:17:44. > :17:49.that. Changes the dynamics of game. You were in the game. We didn't
:17:49. > :17:53.start great, but that was just as we were coming into the game. So we
:17:53. > :18:00.had to then readjust and I think we lost the first goal after that.
:18:00. > :18:05.Which probably is why. This was Thompson getting the opening goal.
:18:05. > :18:11.Obviously, at this point it is difficult to get back. Yes it is.
:18:11. > :18:15.It is hard enough away from home, with eleven men, you go down to ten
:18:15. > :18:20.it is difficult. But loads of positive. In the highlights it
:18:20. > :18:26.looks as if St Mirren have battered us, but I felt we were comfortable.
:18:26. > :18:30.And we actually get back in the game and probably if we hold on for
:18:30. > :18:35.another five minute we may get a point. We shouldn't ignore the two
:18:35. > :18:40.sides of the coin. Your old team, St Mirren, it is a massive result.
:18:40. > :18:44.Yes, going into the game on the back of six defeats. If they had
:18:44. > :18:49.lost yesterday it could have had ramifications for the manager and
:18:49. > :18:54.players. They now look above themselves and they have a four
:18:54. > :18:58.point gap and they go to Dingwall and if they can win that, they are
:18:58. > :19:03.closing on to the top six. But it was important the players showed
:19:03. > :19:08.what they were about. That Isola the younger players and the fans
:19:08. > :19:13.needed. You have a veteran goalkeeper, he will love me for
:19:13. > :19:18.referring to him that as' - as that. But he has been great. Yes you
:19:18. > :19:24.don't play at the level he has played at without being a very good
:19:24. > :19:28.keeper. It is not, in this game he has pulled off two good saves at
:19:28. > :19:38.times when we needed them. But he has done that all season. Are the
:19:38. > :19:41.
:19:41. > :19:48.players in good spirits about comeling -- spirits about coming
:19:48. > :19:54.back? Yes I feel they have found their feet. And yesterday, six or
:19:54. > :20:00.seven games ago if we had gone down to ten men we may have gone down.
:20:00. > :20:06.But now it is a lot beer the. the Derby soon, how good a fixture
:20:07. > :20:12.this a to play in? As long as I play it is good. You played in this
:20:12. > :20:15.one. It was a great occasion. You have seen it us with a full house
:20:15. > :20:20.at Tannadice. The result wasn't great for us, but a great fixture
:20:20. > :20:25.to be involved in. There is Mr Nasty. It is just a wee stretch
:20:25. > :20:29.more than anything. I think that was worse, Ritchie Ryan there.
:20:29. > :20:36.looked miserable at the time. It was understandable being shown a
:20:36. > :20:42.red card. But it was wiped from your record. Yes. No Mr Nasty.
:20:42. > :20:52.Celtic losing, Hix had the chance to reclaim top spot if they could
:20:52. > :21:03.
:21:03. > :21:06.He was looking for the back post. Aberdeen's top goal scorer. The
:21:06. > :21:16.Dons looking to bounce back from defeat at Celtic last week. Hibs of
:21:16. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:36.Doyle beat Jamie Langfield from a similar kind of area at Pittodrie
:21:36. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:57.in the match earlier in the season knew little about it. Came off the
:21:57. > :22:13.
:22:13. > :22:22.Jamie Langfield another question. It was Doyle earlier, Griffiths
:22:22. > :22:26.this time, the SPL's top goal scorer. That is good skill. Didn't
:22:26. > :22:36.quite get behind that one as he would have liked. He's scored 13
:22:36. > :22:54.
:22:54. > :23:04.times so far, Lee Griffiths. Hibs between the two at the start of
:23:04. > :23:04.
:23:04. > :23:49.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 45 seconds
:23:49. > :23:51.second half. Spectacular effort It's not happening for him - the
:23:51. > :24:01.now Scotland international. He did get Hibs' consolation against
:24:01. > :24:02.
:24:02. > :24:05.Dundee last week to keep his own fine form going. Oh Fallon! He
:24:05. > :24:15.scored a stunner against Hibs in the Scottish Cup semi-final between
:24:15. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:33.the teams last season, the half are in front. Very much against the
:24:33. > :24:37.run of play. But the Dons fans - who are here in their numbers again
:24:37. > :24:40.- don't care about that. They care that their team are 1-0 up and
:24:40. > :24:50.heading towards second in the league. Niall McGinn's eighth goal
:24:50. > :25:12.
:25:12. > :25:16.but it was always rising from the not given. Caldwell's shot blocked
:25:16. > :25:26.by Reynolds. It came down off Stevenson, Hanlon's flick doesn't
:25:26. > :25:27.
:25:27. > :25:34.Hibs are feeling sore about how much they had of the game only to
:25:34. > :25:39.lose. But it is a bonus for Aberdeen when you have soak up so
:25:39. > :25:44.much pressure and McGinn gets the goal. Yes Aberdeen can go from
:25:44. > :25:51.defence to midfield. They have pace and energy. They're more dynamic
:25:51. > :25:56.and they have a final product. Yes, then done OK in certain areas and
:25:56. > :26:01.defend well. Now with McGinn on form, they look a threat. They a
:26:01. > :26:04.team that could go top of the league in midweek, do you like what
:26:04. > :26:12.you see in Aberdeen? Yes to be honest, the fact they have went to
:26:12. > :26:16.Hibs and won without big players for them like Rae and Hughes, and
:26:16. > :26:21.Fraser. That is testament to them to go to Hibs, a hard place to go,
:26:21. > :26:26.and win with three key players. When we look at how busy Jamie
:26:26. > :26:32.Langfield was in game tells us Langfield was in game tells us
:26:32. > :26:37.about the pressure Hibs had. I read in the paper about Russell Anderson
:26:37. > :26:44.saying how pleasing it was to not play well and get a result. So
:26:44. > :26:48.they're hung Troy get clean sheets. One thing for Hibs, if you watch
:26:48. > :26:56.the highlights, it is all about Griffiths and if he is not scoring,
:26:56. > :26:59.Hibs look soft up front. Vy -- every good bit of play it all about
:26:59. > :27:05.Griffiths and teams realise if you can stop his threat, you can beat
:27:05. > :27:11.them. Craig Brown spoke about it and said they had a big job f they
:27:11. > :27:17.could stop Griffiths, they could win. He was with you at Dundee. How
:27:17. > :27:20.much has Lee Griffiths improved? lot and he has matured a lot. He
:27:20. > :27:25.used to get involved in things off the ball and interacting with fans.
:27:25. > :27:29.You don't see that from him now. And everything he touches now turns
:27:29. > :27:36.either a goal or a chance and he is a good player to have in your team.
:27:36. > :27:40.The Hibs fans were getting excited about a penalty claim against
:27:41. > :27:44.Anderson. I think even they will realise it is his chest. I think
:27:44. > :27:50.the word desperation comes to mind. Because they had done so well, it
:27:50. > :27:55.is their last attack. You can see the ball changes direction and puts
:27:55. > :27:58.Russell off and he moves his hands back. It is more desperation in
:27:58. > :28:03.trying to get something. Because of the bad performance at Dundee, they
:28:03. > :28:08.were looking to bounce back and get a result. I think they got a good
:28:09. > :28:18.performance, but the result was not good. There was just a point
:28:19. > :28:39.
:28:39. > :28:45.between St Johnstone and Kilmarnock they were down to ten men. Pascali
:28:45. > :28:52.was sent off. It loobd like he got the ball, but the referee produced
:28:52. > :28:55.a red card. The Kilmarnock manager was less than impressed with that
:28:55. > :29:00.decision and after contesting another, he was sent from the dug

:29:08. > :29:14.match. This game didn't lack talking points at first chance.
:29:14. > :29:22.Tesselaar hees challenge on McLean looked a bad one. The referee was
:29:22. > :29:28.well placed, no yellow, and another look indicates that was a good call.
:29:28. > :29:38.And so on to other matters, such as goals and St Johnstone took
:29:38. > :29:38.
:29:38. > :29:46.advantage of having an extra man. Davidson was set up. Tay day may
:29:46. > :29:53.have scuffed the shot, but Davidson grabbed his fifth of the season. In
:29:53. > :30:00.the second half, Killie's peserverance paid off. Dayton with
:30:00. > :30:03.the ball into the area and Nelson rose well for the equaliser. A
:30:03. > :30:10.point apiece may have been a fair result. Kilmarnock played most of
:30:10. > :30:16.the game with ten men and fought back. But in the last minute, Vine
:30:16. > :30:26.grabbed the winner. It was cruel for Kilmarnock, St Johnstone's late
:30:26. > :30:31.
:30:31. > :30:36.winner saw them stretch their allowed to say things about St
:30:36. > :30:46.Johnstone that a nice, but it's a good season for them. Yes, good
:30:46. > :30:47.
:30:47. > :30:50.character in the team to come back from a bad start to the season.
:30:50. > :30:55.players and the manager were under a bit of pressure, so to go on the
:30:55. > :31:00.run they have gone his credit to them. They have Caldwell of
:31:00. > :31:07.absentees. Sometimes I meet him at games, the manager, and he always
:31:07. > :31:13.says he wants another player. If you look at the front four, every
:31:13. > :31:21.manager in the SPL would like them. Craig Beattie has not played yet.
:31:21. > :31:27.Yes. He has built a good squad. Murray Davidson is starting to get
:31:27. > :31:30.more goals. He was always threatening that but the site as a
:31:30. > :31:35.really good balance. Sometimes when you play against a side that goes
:31:35. > :31:41.down to ten men it becomes difficult. The players go back a
:31:41. > :31:46.bed and try and slow the game down. Ten men try a bit harder. So to
:31:46. > :31:51.concede a goal and then get the winner, a great character. What did
:31:51. > :31:55.you make of the sending off of Manuel Pascali? Similar to last, an
:31:55. > :32:00.easy decision. I find it hard as a player to say it's a sending off
:32:00. > :32:04.because he catches the ball clearly and he doesn't work the player. By
:32:04. > :32:10.the loss of the game, the referee is well within his right to send
:32:10. > :32:16.him off. -- by the rules. Kenny Shiels was saying the other manager
:32:16. > :32:22.was in the year off the referee. He was explaining his view. Between
:32:22. > :32:27.them, they went for the red card. He was not happy about it. Was that
:32:27. > :32:31.the right decision? If the 4th official is involved, that's fine.
:32:31. > :32:36.But the officials need to help the referee make decisions. The fact
:32:36. > :32:39.that Kenny did the press conference right after the game, losing it in
:32:39. > :32:44.the last minute coupled with the sending off, he's very animated,
:32:44. > :32:51.passionate. He loves football, lots speaking about it. When he sees
:32:51. > :32:56.that back and sits down, if you go with two feet, inevitably it is a
:32:56. > :32:59.sending off. Manuel Pascali have to understand you cannot go in a bad
:32:59. > :33:03.ball city and make that kind of tackle. Kenny Shiels explained he
:33:03. > :33:08.could not sit down in the stands because of his piles. That was
:33:08. > :33:11.probably too much detail. Dundee United seem to have a habit of
:33:11. > :33:21.going a goal down before the kick into gear. Yesterday they played
:33:21. > :33:25.
:33:26. > :33:33.league matches at home, but Dundee United threatened early on. An
:33:33. > :33:43.understanding between Jon Daly and John Russell. Peter Houston wanted
:33:43. > :33:47.
:33:47. > :33:52.Radoslav she is the act did well to tip it over. -- Radoslaw Cierzniak
:33:52. > :33:56.early in the second half, he was beaten. The punch fell to Richie
:33:56. > :34:05.Britain. Really good work by the captain and Iain Vigurs scored a
:34:05. > :34:11.header to beat the keeper. A good ball in, and Iain Vigurs's glancing
:34:11. > :34:15.header caught out there Polish keeper. 1-0 up, but their manager
:34:15. > :34:21.looked relaxed. His mood may have changed, as that fire Dundee United
:34:21. > :34:26.up. Stuart Armstrong chased the long ball. Great work for men to
:34:26. > :34:30.set up Jon Daly. The finish was disappointing. Dundee United have
:34:30. > :34:36.shown they are capable of fighting back. They did it against
:34:36. > :34:39.Kilmarnock last weekend and Celtic this month. Erratic again. Michael
:34:39. > :34:47.Fraser tried to be Johnny Russell to the ball but Johnny Russell won
:34:47. > :34:57.the race. It was John Rankin with the long punt. It goal of the
:34:57. > :35:03.
:35:03. > :35:13.better. The ball to Jon Daly, who set up Stuart Armstrong for a
:35:13. > :35:17.
:35:17. > :35:22.Daly to have a shot at goal. The downward header to Armstrong was
:35:22. > :35:29.clever. That was his first goal of the season. He almost grab the
:35:29. > :35:37.second. The ball was cleared but straight to him. Fraser got to that
:35:37. > :35:41.one and Dundee United took all You started your career with Dundee
:35:41. > :35:46.United. They seem to like a challenge. Three times this month
:35:46. > :35:53.they have gone a goal behind before the start playing. It very
:35:53. > :35:57.difficult especially in the Premier League, when you call a goal down.
:35:57. > :36:03.I think they're getting away with that because of players like Johnny
:36:03. > :36:08.Russell. Gary Mackay Stephen, players that break at real pace. It
:36:09. > :36:15.is difficult to play against them. With daily up front they have
:36:15. > :36:19.Goals. It's not a habit Peter Houston well what his team to get
:36:19. > :36:26.into. He will be glad that when the team got behind they can get back
:36:26. > :36:34.into the game, but somewhere you become unstuck. You become stifled.
:36:34. > :36:38.They get caught on the counter- attack, but maybe it suits their
:36:38. > :36:42.type of player. Somewhere along the line they will come up against a
:36:42. > :36:48.defence that are difficult to break down. They are mid-table, will we
:36:48. > :36:53.be higher? I would have, and I expect them to be higher at the end
:36:53. > :36:58.of the season. If they cut out losing a goal, they have the
:36:58. > :37:05.players on their team that can make goals. They should be challenging
:37:05. > :37:13.at the top. You had a loan at Ross County, how much did you enjoy
:37:13. > :37:20.that? Really enjoyed it, everyone speaks about it in high regard.
:37:20. > :37:25.They probably came into the lead and adapted quicker than Dundee.
:37:25. > :37:29.They will be disappointed with the position they are in. A lot of the
:37:29. > :37:33.games, they have been in winning positions, again yesterday, they
:37:33. > :37:39.were a goal up. They have turned into draws from winning positions.
:37:39. > :37:49.They will be a bit disappointed. Motherwell went back into the top
:37:49. > :37:55.
:37:55. > :37:59.six with a win in Inverness. This with a victory at Fir Park, after a
:37:59. > :38:04.convincing win in Inverness. But it's Hearts on the attack through
:38:04. > :38:08.Jamie Walker. Through a trio of Motherwell players, then brought
:38:08. > :38:17.crashing to the ground. Shaun Hutchinson amongst the guilty
:38:18. > :38:20.parties there. A real chance for Hearts from the free kick. Grainger
:38:21. > :38:30.and Stevenson over it. It is Stevenson who goes for goal. Good
:38:31. > :38:46.
:38:46. > :38:50.save Darren Randolph. Well struck for Darren Barr. A deflection there,
:38:50. > :38:56.and Randolph collects and catches Paterson in the process. It looked
:38:56. > :39:06.a nasty one. Randolph does seem to flick out the leg on the follow-
:39:06. > :39:16.
:39:16. > :39:26.through. That looks a sore one for appears. Humphrey gets it back to
:39:26. > :39:30.
:39:30. > :39:34.Hateley. Henrik Ojamaa against Marius Zaliukas. Trying to find
:39:34. > :39:36.Hateley again. Breaks back for Humphrey. That's a good looking
:39:36. > :39:40.ball, Higdon rises.. MacDonald taking no chances, pushing it
:39:40. > :39:50.behind for the corner. Again, Higdon getting the better of the
:39:50. > :39:56.
:39:56. > :39:59.Hearts defenders in the air. Jamie ball. That's a lovely shuffle of
:39:59. > :40:03.the feet. Decent enough try, but Darren Randolph got everything
:40:03. > :40:09.behind it. Motherwell try to mount a quick counter-attack. Jamie
:40:09. > :40:12.Murphy moving apace. He tries to pick out Higton. Maybe a touch
:40:12. > :40:20.heavy with the pass. Higdon back for Murphy once more, deflected
:40:20. > :40:23.wide. Chances at both ends. Murphy leading the charge. Michael Higdon
:40:23. > :40:33.almost managing to get round the keeper. Jamie MacDonald doing well
:40:33. > :40:38.
:40:38. > :40:41.Chris Humphrey tries to do something about that. Again, given
:40:41. > :40:51.the chance to run at McGowan. Good try from Humphrey, MacDonald equal
:40:51. > :40:56.
:40:56. > :41:05.Higdon was there at the near post. He couldn't fashion a shot. Would
:41:05. > :41:08.have been trouble for Jamie feel he should have hit the target
:41:08. > :41:18.there. That was a really good there. That was a really good
:41:18. > :41:19.
:41:19. > :41:25.I thought year-old team would have won that one off the back a 5-1 in
:41:25. > :41:30.Inverness. It's been a frustrating time for them at home. Taking
:41:30. > :41:34.yesterday's game, they have not won at home for a while. All that was
:41:34. > :41:40.good last week, the from four, Chris Humphrey, Michael Higdon,
:41:40. > :41:45.Jamie Murphy, they were the catalyst. That meant Motherwell got
:41:45. > :41:48.a good victory. Yesterday, they were a bit flat. They did not
:41:48. > :41:56.breach the defence. They did not carry a threat. Ultimately the end
:41:56. > :41:59.up with a point. This is your first appearance. The latest case is the
:41:59. > :42:04.one against Darren Randolph, who did not get any card for this. Lots
:42:04. > :42:09.of Hearts fans are raging about this. When I see it, he can go by
:42:09. > :42:12.the player without touching him. Steven will probably disagree, but
:42:12. > :42:15.he kicks out and I don't like to say that players have led to
:42:15. > :42:21.deliberately hurt someone, and I don't think he really hurts him
:42:21. > :42:26.badly, but he could bowl -- he could go by him without kicking out.
:42:26. > :42:32.You will stick up for your path. was expecting it Patterson to catch
:42:32. > :42:37.him. I think he put his leg out for protection. The pictures bowl the
:42:37. > :42:44.Great, let's be honest. There was no intent to hurt her more kick him
:42:44. > :42:49.in the face. When he realises he's made contact, he pulls his leg in.
:42:49. > :42:59.Fortunately he did not get hurt. If he had done it, he would have
:42:59. > :43:02.
:43:02. > :43:08.kicked his head off. Dundee usually beat Hearts. Yes, we have been
:43:08. > :43:15.lucky. Hearts have one of the best defensive records in the league, a
:43:15. > :43:18.very experienced back four. They are very hard to break down. It is
:43:18. > :43:25.not at the defensive deficiencies that there at the bottom of the
:43:25. > :43:35.table. They are not scoring enough goals. It could not be tighter at
