:00:54. > :00:59.Hello. It has been a weekend of staggering financial figures. The
:01:00. > :01:03.death of a genuine Scottish football legend. Plus, the small matter of
:01:04. > :01:06.six matches in the Scottish Premiership, each of them with a
:01:07. > :01:09.real edge. It is turning into a hugely exciting and dramatic end to
:01:10. > :01:12.the season. With us to review the latest
:01:13. > :01:15.instalment, Pat Nevin and the former Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon.
:01:16. > :01:18.And it is the Edinburgh derby we start with. A huge match, this.
:01:19. > :01:21.Hearts already relegated, but arguably the form team of the bottom
:01:22. > :01:26.six, and desperate to drag Hibs closer to the play-off spot. Not
:01:27. > :01:29.outwith the realms of possibility that the next Edinburgh derby could
:01:30. > :01:31.take place in the Championship, particularly given the contrasting
:01:32. > :01:41.fortunes since the last meeting four weeks ago.
:01:42. > :01:54.A derby win for Hearts. 30 years in the top flight is officially over
:01:55. > :01:55.for Hearts. The future of Hearts appears more
:01:56. > :02:02.secure at a major step The future of Hearts appears more
:02:03. > :02:06.entering into Administration. We are 90% of the way. Somebody has
:02:07. > :02:12.lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.
:02:13. > :02:18.Hibs or moving on to nine games without a win.
:02:19. > :02:25.We will fight. We have a big derby. Terry Butcher rings in the changes
:02:26. > :02:33.as Hearts look to bounce back from several defeats in a row.

:02:48. > :02:49.Applause for Margo MacDonald, MSP, and for Hearts legend Sandy
:02:50. > :03:02.Jardine. A terrible run of results for
:03:03. > :03:13.Hearts, it is not happening for them -- for Hibs. Cummins has yet to
:03:14. > :03:16.score for the club, the 18-year-old. Hearts or in great form, they could
:03:17. > :03:23.score for the club, the 18-year-old. be the spoilers of the bottom six. A
:03:24. > :03:29.header for Callum Paterson, a stunning moment towards half-time as
:03:30. > :03:37.Hearts go in front and Callum Paterson sends Hibs into even more
:03:38. > :03:46.bother. A 500th goal in an Edinburgh derby for Hibs. Hibs have had the
:03:47. > :03:52.better chances but they find themselves behind yet again and that
:03:53. > :04:03.is a free kick. That was harsh. Nicholson was all over his back. And
:04:04. > :04:13.in again by Callum Paterson! It is scarcely believable! Hibs have had
:04:14. > :04:16.the better opportunities and Callum Paterson has scored two in
:04:17. > :04:20.the better opportunities and Callum minutes before half-time and the
:04:21. > :04:27.Hibs funds are heading for the exit. Surely not a third before the break?
:04:28. > :04:33.-- fans. That is a free kick to Hibs. Hearts shouting for handball
:04:34. > :04:52.against Craig. Good play by Thomson. That has gone
:04:53. > :05:01.for a corner. He does not score many, Kevin Thomson. A drop of the
:05:02. > :05:04.shoulder. Still a lead for Hearts. Quickly done. This is the
:05:05. > :05:20.substitute. Jordon Forster, it is game on!
:05:21. > :05:29.Jordon Forster gives a lifeline to Hibs. In the Edinburgh derby. That
:05:30. > :05:35.is a fantastic header, it shot past MacDonald. Hopes have been raised
:05:36. > :05:47.for Hibs. Stanton. Danny Rose and did enough. Hearts
:05:48. > :05:54.are in trouble. Collins! That should be 2-2. It has come to him very
:05:55. > :05:57.quickly, James Collins, he is not expecting it. But he has to do
:05:58. > :06:07.better than that! Just a couple of points separating
:06:08. > :06:19.them, seventh and 11th, it is so tight. Ryan Stevenson, this would
:06:20. > :06:32.kill it. No! And still Hibs art alive. They thought Stevenson was
:06:33. > :06:40.offside! -- are alive. He played on, but it stays at two. Stoppage time.
:06:41. > :06:45.Collins! What a save from Donald! There was a flag. This will not
:06:46. > :06:51.register as a save but tremendous goalkeeping.
:06:52. > :06:55.We had to dig in because Hibs put us under pressure, they got up on
:06:56. > :07:00.second balls and made it hard. But you saw the team spirit, everybody
:07:01. > :07:06.was fighting and putting their heads in and that is why we got three
:07:07. > :07:09.points. A good effort from the players, hard work this week and in
:07:10. > :07:16.the game today, the players were committed. We had two slack pieces
:07:17. > :07:19.of marking that cost us dearly in a game we should have got something
:07:20. > :07:26.from. Craig, you and every other Hearts
:07:27. > :07:35.fan must have loved that. It was good, they are fighting to the end.
:07:36. > :07:43.There is still plenty to fight for and they are trying to finish less
:07:44. > :07:47.than 15 points behind Hibs, a good motivational factor until the end of
:07:48. > :07:53.the season, so another good day. Callum Paterson. You used to be a

:08:03. > :08:10.looks natural in the air, and there was a comfort at the start. -- used
:08:11. > :08:14.to be. At the start, Hibs were the better
:08:15. > :08:20.side but you need to want to defend. It is a great ball and header, but
:08:21. > :08:25.he wants it more than the defenders and on both occasions, it comes into
:08:26. > :08:30.an area where if you do not win the ball, you have to take something.
:08:31. > :08:37.They were clean headers. Hibs do not score many but Jordon Forster took
:08:38. > :08:41.it well. Yes, Hearts is all over the place and he has two stop the
:08:42. > :08:42.it well. Yes, Hearts is all over the and that leaves a hole in the
:08:43. > :08:45.middle. De she has to stop. and that leaves a hole in the

:08:53. > :08:58.Hibs cannot score one winner.
:08:59. > :09:03.that. This is Collins. He can take this round the keeper.
:09:04. > :09:05.that. This is Collins. He can take confident, he does not do that and
:09:06. > :09:09.he is losing confidence like a confident, he does not do that and
:09:10. > :09:13.of the players. If you have players like Anthony Stokes, he scored the
:09:14. > :09:20.goal. That is the difference, it is two goals in 10.5 hours for Hibs and
:09:21. > :09:27.both of those have come from losses so it is scary times. There was a
:09:28. > :09:31.minute's Applause for Margo MacDonald and Sandy Jardine.
:09:32. > :09:38.How well did you know him? You would meet him at Ibrox but remembered my
:09:39. > :09:44.first meeting for Sandy Jardine, I played for Clyde and he was a great
:09:45. > :09:48.player. City football and he put his arm round my shoulder and gave me
:09:49. > :09:54.technical advice about why I should get closer to to him because if I
:09:55. > :10:00.turned him, he would not get back. Why was he telling me that? Because
:10:01. > :10:05.he was a classy guy, a classy player. He said, you have to be
:10:06. > :10:09.going down South quite soon anyway, he wanted the best full Scottish
:10:10. > :10:15.football. It did not matter if you were Hearts, a gentleman of the game
:10:16. > :10:18.who cared about everybody else. A class act. Ross County began the
:10:19. > :10:22.weekend second bottom in the play-off place. Anything other than
:10:23. > :10:25.victory over Kilmarnock would see them stay there. And probably fair
:10:26. > :10:29.to say most neutrals hoping for a County win, to further Stoke the
:10:30. > :10:38.excitement at the bottom end of the table. There for us was Rob Maclean.
:10:39. > :10:45.Ross County without the injured (. And a return after suspension. The
:10:46. > :10:51.same Kilmarnock team that lost last weekend at home to Partick Thistle.
:10:52. > :11:00.This buoyed looking to add to the goals he has called already this
:11:01. > :11:03.season. -- Kris Boyd. A powerful run from Jordan Slew, still going and
:11:04. > :11:07.season. -- Kris Boyd. A powerful run held back by Jeroen Tesselaar.
:11:08. > :11:08.season. -- Kris Boyd. A powerful run He clearly polled at his shirt which
:11:09. > :11:16.the thistles -- the officials He clearly polled at his shirt which
:11:17. > :11:24.missed. -- pulled. The offence is clearly outside the box. Chasing the
:11:25. > :11:34.goal, such an important day for both teams. That is Jordan Slew. And
:11:35. > :11:39.Filip Kiss! He opens the scoring. For Ross County. His sixth goal for
:11:40. > :11:44.the team. This could be very significant. The game needed a touch
:11:45. > :11:54.of class and this was it. Guided in significant. The game needed a touch
:11:55. > :12:01.by Filip Kiss. 1-0. A lovely pass from Graham Carey.
:12:02. > :12:02.Ben Gordon. Richard Brittain. And the referee is pointing to the
:12:03. > :12:08.penalty spot. Got this wrong, the referee is pointing to the
:12:09. > :12:14.young centre back. A knee the referee is pointing to the
:12:15. > :12:19.moment in Ross County's season. And Richard Brittain gets the job done.
:12:20. > :12:32.2-0, Ross County. The substitute. Headed away. In four
:12:33. > :12:37.are McKenzie, missed by Scott Boyd. -- in from. Not missed by Kris Boyd
:12:38. > :12:39.who has scored again against Ross County and it brings the game back
:12:40. > :12:46.to life for County and it brings the game back
:12:47. > :12:56.from time. McKenzie's cross was misjudged. Kris Boyd in for 2-1. Can
:12:57. > :13:03.Allan Johnston's team strike again? A corner. A free header. It is
:13:04. > :13:14.turned around the post by the keeper, Mark Brown. The up and under
:13:15. > :13:22.from Richard Brittain. Turns away from Ashcroft. The shot is
:13:23. > :13:30.deflected! A great save, Ross County would love a third goal. It looks as
:13:31. > :13:38.if 2-1 will be enough. That final pass was missing today.
:13:39. > :13:44.Polity crosses in the box -- quality crosses. Lacking that. We have shown
:13:45. > :13:46.we can play big games and give big performances and today was a big
:13:47. > :13:58.game and a big performance. A great win for Ross County. Jordan
:13:59. > :14:06.Slew is interesting, he has got no goals, 17 appearances, but he does
:14:07. > :14:10.make things happen. Yes, he seems quite unpredictable and quite
:14:11. > :14:13.ungainly at times. He is a big presence and awkward to play
:14:14. > :14:20.against. He has travelled a long way and he gets a couple of shots and
:14:21. > :14:26.should have got a foul, just outside the box. He plays a nice pass here
:14:27. > :14:31.so he is contributing to the team. He is setting up goals, that is a
:14:32. > :14:40.good strike, so definitely contributing in other areas.
:14:41. > :14:49.A much-needed result for Ross County, how worried should
:14:50. > :14:56.Kilmarnock fans be? In the end it is Kris Boyd, if he scores and keeps on
:14:57. > :15:01.scoring goals they have a good chance to get out of it. Fortunately
:15:02. > :15:08.they have got Kris Boyd because they are other teams who do not have
:15:09. > :15:15.goal-scorers. He is capable of dragging them to where they need to
:15:16. > :15:21.be, but only just. I'd macro a very tense and wet evening at Firhill in
:15:22. > :15:39.Glasgow. Both sides with a spring in their steps.
:15:40. > :15:53.The Lisney Smith. Back with Higginbotham. -- there is me Smith.
:15:54. > :15:59.Kris Doolan. He heads Thistle in front with his 10th goal of the
:16:00. > :16:05.season. He will be first to acknowledge what Higginbotham did.
:16:06. > :16:16.He was audacious and managed to get himself away from his marker to head
:16:17. > :16:23.the ball in. It is 1-0. Kelly's cross helped on by Thomson. Indigo
:16:24. > :16:30.'s Naismith, down goes me Smith, penalty given. This will not happy
:16:31. > :16:37.with Calum Murray but he reckoned there was enough of a push from
:16:38. > :16:44.Higginbotham on me Smith to award the spot kick right on half-time. It
:16:45. > :16:48.is Kenny McLean and he stayed high school to side foot in his seventh
:16:49. > :16:52.goal of the season. It school to side foot in his seventh
:16:53. > :16:58.important for St Mirren who have school to side foot in his seventh
:16:59. > :17:05.that they will go in in the interval all is we are. Josh Magennis
:17:06. > :17:14.powering his way forward. It is McQueen and it is off the post.
:17:15. > :17:15.powering his way forward. It is Kenny McLean could have turned this
:17:16. > :17:23.game completely on its head. Kenny McLean could have turned this
:17:24. > :17:33.Wonderful technique, just off target. Kelly, Higginbotham, cleared
:17:34. > :17:42.by McCausland. Straight back for Gary Fraser. In four peeler. On side
:17:43. > :17:54.and that is back off of the bar. The looping header almost catching out
:17:55. > :17:58.the goalkeeper. It was a very soft penalty. He had maybe nudged him. I
:17:59. > :18:06.have got penalty. He had maybe nudged him. I
:18:07. > :18:12.praise to my players in terms of going one goal down away from home
:18:13. > :18:16.and in terms of the character to get back in the game speaks volumes of
:18:17. > :18:26.the team spirit there is at the moment.
:18:27. > :18:38.Just two points separate the teams fighting the play off spots. Let's
:18:39. > :18:46.look at the last six results in terms of those sides. Hearts are
:18:47. > :18:51.very much the boring team in care of those results and Hibernian are at
:18:52. > :19:00.the very bottom. Can you see Hibernian finishing second bottom?
:19:01. > :19:07.Yes. They are not scoring goals, they are -11 for the last seven
:19:08. > :19:13.games. It does not look very good for them at all. They can only hope
:19:14. > :19:21.that somewhere along the line they can pick up a point to pool
:19:22. > :19:27.something out of the bag. Let's look at those last remaining games. It
:19:28. > :19:36.does make for interesting reading. Will it go all be read to the wire?
:19:37. > :19:41.I will be surprised. If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago I
:19:42. > :19:47.would have said look at the 10th of May, Partick Thistle and Ross
:19:48. > :19:51.County. I am now looking at Hibernian and Kilmarnock. Hibernian
:19:52. > :20:08.do not have any momentum just now. The two teams with the coolest form
:20:09. > :20:15.in the last couple of games, I am almost certain it will be down to
:20:16. > :20:22.the last week. It is not happening for Hibernian at the moment, I will
:20:23. > :20:33.be get out of it? The manager says he is confirmed -- convinced they
:20:34. > :20:40.will stay up but are you? I am not. The negative is that there is no
:20:41. > :20:46.great creativity in the team and no obvious goal-scorer, those are two
:20:47. > :20:53.things you need at this stage of the season. They are the team who do not
:20:54. > :21:03.seem to have one player to get them out. Let's get away from all this
:21:04. > :21:11.doom and gloom and talk awards. They were held this evening in Glasgow,
:21:12. > :21:18.the ones voted for by the players and managers in the Scottish senior
:21:19. > :21:27.game. The player of the year is Kris Commons. 26 goals this season. The
:21:28. > :21:35.young player of the year was Andrew Robertson. Playing at amateur level
:21:36. > :21:42.with Queens Park and then the United, making his Scotland debut.
:21:43. > :21:47.And this is the manager, his team may well finish second in the
:21:48. > :22:02.Premiership this season. There was a merit award for Frank McEwan, he is
:22:03. > :22:08.the firefighter. The race for Europe remains very much alive. Aberdeen
:22:09. > :22:16.still with plenty to do to seal their place as runners up in the
:22:17. > :22:22.Premiership. They have just one win in their last six games but St
:22:23. > :22:31.Johnstone have a sturdiness around them just now.
:22:32. > :22:45.They have won five out of their last six matches. Robertson has given it
:22:46. > :22:53.straight to Stevie May, a chance force and Johnston and Stevie May
:22:54. > :22:59.does not miss that. Eight minutes played, St Johnstone in front and
:23:00. > :23:08.Stevie May punishes Clark Robertson with his 27th goal of the season.
:23:09. > :23:18.The corner breaks away. A solid chance from Adam Rooney. The date
:23:19. > :23:27.for Ryan Jack. Back to Anderson. Willo Flood. Chris Millar. He has
:23:28. > :23:34.given Willo Flood. Chris Millar. He has
:23:35. > :23:47.the chance for an equaliser. Another defensive mistake proves costly,
:23:48. > :24:06.this time for the visitors. Bruni accepts the opportunity. -- Bruni.
:24:07. > :24:20.-- Rooney. The Gtech and there is McManus. He had to deal with that
:24:21. > :24:27.one. He's again with the corner. Clark Robertson up for the set piece
:24:28. > :24:36.trying to make amends for his earlier error. Logan. Reynolds
:24:37. > :24:46.decides to go back the way. Jamie Langfield! Dear oh dear, what the
:24:47. > :24:52.howling mistake by Langfield, almost allowing it to run into his own net.
:24:53. > :25:07.Croft with the corner and Steven Anderson this time up there going
:25:08. > :25:11.Croft with the corner and Steven close. Robson. No Logan. Is this the
:25:12. > :25:24.chance for a winner? It is he is. Nick Manas again there to keep out
:25:25. > :25:36.the home side. Acrobatics there from Jonny Hayes. The ball nearly went in
:25:37. > :25:45.and there was a great header almost hitting the back of the net but
:25:46. > :25:51.overall a draw was a fair result. It was not our best performance but it
:25:52. > :25:59.is important to pick up points. That might well prove to be a big point
:26:00. > :26:03.for us going forward. I am not sure we can blame the North Sea are for
:26:04. > :26:18.those terrible back passes in the game. What goes through your mind
:26:19. > :26:22.when you see passes like that? When Jonny Hayes gets into that position
:26:23. > :26:31.you are expecting him to hit the back of the net. I am not sure if
:26:32. > :26:41.Adam Rooney had looked around him but you do not see many finishes
:26:42. > :26:52.like that. The good things here is he got wide of his post. That was
:26:53. > :26:56.one hell of a bobble. I think goalkeepers are getting nervous.
:26:57. > :27:05.They are under pressure. To be honest, there were two great through
:27:06. > :27:15.balls during that game. Who would you have gone for in the manager of
:27:16. > :27:20.the year? I think Neil Lennon is doing fantastic for Celtic. I think
:27:21. > :27:27.he will be disappointed. At the same time, Derek has got the best out of
:27:28. > :27:36.Aberdeen and got the cup they have waited so long for. I think it would
:27:37. > :27:42.have been close between those two. The Young player of the year has
:27:43. > :27:51.been fantastic, playing for Queens Park and Scotland. Surprise that
:27:52. > :27:56.Stevie May did not win it? I am. Certainty that Stevie May had to be
:27:57. > :28:02.in the running. I think when the votes came he was having a dip. He
:28:03. > :28:10.can count himself unlucky and Kris Commons, no surprise there. For
:28:11. > :28:13.Motherwell to improve their chances yesterday they had to do something
:28:14. > :28:21.they had not managed all week and beat in the United. -- then the
:28:22. > :28:51.United. There is applause for a member of
:28:52. > :29:01.the Dundee United Hall of Fame who has passed away. Hamill has given
:29:02. > :29:11.the ball away. Check G, Armstrong, away from McManus. He opens up to
:29:12. > :29:19.Cifci. Nadir Ciftci. Armstrong set it up,
:29:20. > :29:36.Nadir Ciftci finished. United are flowing at the moment.
:29:37. > :29:44.Nadir Ciftci. Outrageous, a chance. The goalkeeper is out muscled. Nadir
:29:45. > :29:46.Ciftci rightly gets a lot of press and coverage for his goals but his
:29:47. > :29:59.passing is wonderful. Motherwell cannot link up, Stuart
:30:00. > :30:08.Armstrong. Nadir Ciftci to the side. A chance for Nadir Ciftci. Nielsen
:30:09. > :30:19.with a save. Armstrong and Nadir Ciftci working their magic again
:30:20. > :30:22.almost. A chance for Motherwell. That has rolled out onto Keith
:30:23. > :30:32.Watson to start the attack. A little short. Watson might get it back. Out
:30:33. > :30:39.wide, chasing it is Armstrong, into the middle. Nadir Ciftci! 2-1.
:30:40. > :30:40.Brilliant again from Dundee United. They moved the ball
:30:41. > :30:46.Brilliant again from Dundee United. sweetly. Armstrong opened up the
:30:47. > :30:56.foot and trickled it into the corner and it is a double for Nadir Ciftci.
:30:57. > :31:04.A long throw. It will fall for Keith Lasley. It should have been 2-1.
:31:05. > :31:11.What a chance for Keith Lasley! To bring Motherwell back into the game.
:31:12. > :31:14.It is long, McManus has to be careful, that will not go back to

:31:34. > :31:43.Nadir Ciftci again. A chance for Armstrong! And he scores! He set up
:31:44. > :31:47.the first two goals and he helps himself to one here, he outpaced
:31:48. > :31:54.Shaun Hutchinson who has got good speed. Armstrong did the rest.

:32:26. > :32:30.looking for a hat. -- a hat-trick. Armstrong again. No answer to United
:32:31. > :32:33.this afternoon from Motherwell. A chance for four, it is four! They
:32:34. > :32:43.are slicing through Motherwell and with 18 minutes, a fourth goal of
:32:44. > :32:52.the season for this player. Great all to stop the pass. The
:32:53. > :32:56.goalkeeper, no chance. -- great ball. That came off Armstrong.
:32:57. > :33:02.Ainsworth, he ball. That came off Armstrong.
:33:03. > :33:10.Robertson. A chance here for Graham! It is five! Dundee United have five

:34:01. > :34:03.the back of a disappointing A very impressive Dundee United
:34:04. > :34:07.performance last week. The boys responded well in training this
:34:08. > :34:11.week. It is frustrating because we put in
:34:12. > :34:16.such a strong performance last week and the majority of the season. We
:34:17. > :34:20.were not good enough today. Every aspect of the game, they were far
:34:21. > :34:24.better. I get accused of gushing about
:34:25. > :34:27.Dundee United but they were superb yesterday and Motherwell cannot
:34:28. > :34:34.handle them. There are lots of reasons. Look at
:34:35. > :34:42.this, the ball comes up, Armstrong knows Nadir Ciftci is a good player
:34:43. > :34:45.and he keeps running. You know if there good players around you, you
:34:46. > :34:50.can take a chance they will do something special, and that was a
:34:51. > :34:56.special finish. Armstrong thinks, he is going to backheel that, I will
:34:57. > :35:00.get in there. Other teams, you are waiting to see what will happen.
:35:01. > :35:06.They trust their team-mates to have quality. When they played their
:35:07. > :35:10.best, they are unstoppable, it could have been six, seven.
:35:11. > :35:20.You feel Jackie McNamara is them freedom to play. Players like Nadir
:35:21. > :35:23.Ciftci, clearly enjoying themselves. He is the linchpin holding
:35:24. > :35:27.everything together. He is the main focal point. He allows so many
:35:28. > :35:32.others to get forward. That is him making the pass. He brings other
:35:33. > :35:37.people into play, it is not just goal-scoring, it is the support and
:35:38. > :35:42.pace, that is the reason Motherwell could not handle the pace. It could
:35:43. > :35:47.have been any score. Three Dundee United players
:35:48. > :35:54.nominated for the player of the year award today. Andrew Robertson won
:35:55. > :36:02.the award. A lot of young players have come and gone, are these the
:36:03. > :36:07.real deal? They can be but it is about what happens next. I really do
:36:08. > :36:12.hope. I understand a lot of people go down South like I did when I was
:36:13. > :36:18.18, 19, but they need to learn up here, get first team for all --
:36:19. > :36:23.first-team football. They will not be as wealthy but a well be better
:36:24. > :36:29.players. Too many players have left Scotland to early and they get lost
:36:30. > :36:34.down there. Still great players but a couple more years up here. Could
:36:35. > :36:40.you still see Motherwell finishing second?
:36:41. > :36:43.It is looking more difficult. It is still possible but I cannot see
:36:44. > :36:47.Aberdeen dropping enough points to allow them back. But they have
:36:48. > :36:50.enough to keep going and they have to hope they can close the gap and
:36:51. > :36:58.for Aberdeen to throw it away. The last match of the show was also
:36:59. > :37:01.the last match of the weekend. The champions Celtic had wrapped up the
:37:02. > :37:04.title weeks ago, but Neil Lennon's side still hopeful of breaking the
:37:05. > :37:08.100-point barrier. As for Inverness, they still had faint hopes of a
:37:09. > :37:10.European spot, but the last time they were at Celtic Park, they were
:37:11. > :37:20.thrashed 5-0. Both these clubs drew last week.
:37:21. > :37:24.Three changes for Celtic and for Caledonian Thistle. Nick Ross makes
:37:25. > :37:41.his first start in eight games. Always a threat coming forward.
:37:42. > :37:48.Griffith initially thought there was a handball -- Leigh Griffiths. The
:37:49. > :37:58.ball breaks back, a good touch round the post. They will be leaving
:37:59. > :38:03.Celtic Park in the summer. Anthony Stokes, and the opening goal for
:38:04. > :38:09.Celtic. Anthony Stokes, five goals in his last five games. A simple
:38:10. > :38:14.header poorly defended by Caley Thistle. Jon Hughes will not be
:38:15. > :38:25.happy with the loss of the opening goal. -- John Hughes. A good save at
:38:26. > :38:28.the post ID in Braille. Adam Matthews in the last three games. --
:38:29. > :38:43.by Adam Rhyl. -- Brill. Good control, Stokes gets
:38:44. > :38:53.there! On the stroke of half-time, Celtic make it 2-0. Beautifully
:38:54. > :39:00.taken down by Leigh Griffiths. Commons could not get to it. Tucked
:39:01. > :39:04.away by Anthony Stokes. Leigh Griffiths showing his quality
:39:05. > :39:12.already. Anthony Stokes taking the chances.
:39:13. > :39:22.That was not easy. The referee says, penalty. Caley Thistle did not look
:39:23. > :39:29.to have much contact. The referee says it is a penalty. Looking for
:39:30. > :39:36.his second hat-trick of the season. Anthony Stokes. Not normally on
:39:37. > :39:37.penalty duties. But when a hat-trick calls, you do not pass up the
:39:38. > :39:45.chance. Caley Thistle, two wins in the last
:39:46. > :39:53.eight matches since they played Celtic. The challenge by Virgil van
:39:54. > :39:57.Dijk and the penalty has been given. Fraser Forster complains. Mackay
:39:58. > :40:06.moves away from goal, not much in it for me. A poor penalty. Credit to
:40:07. > :40:09.the goalkeeper for the save. It did not have pace or precision. It takes
:40:10. > :40:14.more than that to beat Fraser Forster.
:40:15. > :40:22.Virgil van Dijk, closed down. Billy McKay wants it in the middle, a
:40:23. > :40:28.chance for Caley Thistle. Fraser Forster has been there this season.
:40:29. > :40:35.Another decent save. Billy McKay hits this well, a good save. Celtic
:40:36. > :40:41.still unbeaten at home in the league this season. I want to get to 100
:40:42. > :40:51.points. Anthony Stokes wants it of golf. -- they want to get. That is a
:40:52. > :40:57.decent ball. -- Anthony Stokes once another goal.
:40:58. > :41:10.Stokes found space and he quipped it. Leigh Griffiths had all the time
:41:11. > :41:13.in the world. -- clipped it. Celtic have been impressive. Anthony
:41:14. > :41:23.Stokes with the hat-trick. He could set up Leigh Griffiths. 4-0. A
:41:24. > :41:26.hat-trick by Leigh Griffiths. And in the finish. He gives the credit to
:41:27. > :41:34.Anthony Stokes. A great run, ambitious. It worked for him.
:41:35. > :41:43.Position in the pass. The finish was perfect. -- precision.
:41:44. > :41:52.John Hughes is unhappy, he has every reason to be. The header from Efe
:41:53. > :42:01.Ambrose. Celtic get five. A great finish. A lovely somersault from Efe
:42:02. > :42:10.Ambrose! Kris Commons across it. Efe Ambrose tucked it in the corner.
:42:11. > :42:15.The sides last met in March, 5-0 today. Celtic come forward today
:42:16. > :42:22.again. And he gets on the scoresheet! Celtic get six. On
:42:23. > :42:25.course for the biggest league win of the season. Not
:42:26. > :42:33.course for the biggest league win of the league itself. He put that away.
:42:34. > :42:38.When you give the ball away cheap, big put you wide open and that is
:42:39. > :42:42.what happened. You have to learn from it, it is not acceptable,
:42:43. > :42:49.bitterly disappointed, but we have games coming up that we can get act
:42:50. > :42:53.to winning ways. Some people have individual targets,
:42:54. > :43:01.Anthony Stokes for 20 goals. Kris Commons, 30. 91 goals this season.
:43:02. > :43:06.They are still putting in the effort for that.
:43:07. > :43:07.A superb somersault from Efe Ambrose. Neil Lennon talking about
:43:08. > :43:18.targets. A great hat-trick today. Ambrose. Neil Lennon talking about
:43:19. > :43:21.These are big shoes to fill. Along with the understanding he is getting
:43:22. > :43:25.with Leigh Griffiths, there was a great understanding with him and
:43:26. > :43:31.Anthony Stokes. Kris Commons as well. Slightly less pressure on them
:43:32. > :43:33.that their well. Slightly less pressure on them
:43:34. > :43:38.screw holes. So you do not need to well. Slightly less pressure on them
:43:39. > :43:44.score over time. -- score goals. That helps, Leigh Griffiths will
:43:45. > :43:48.remember that. He could have had a shot and he could have been greedy
:43:49. > :43:53.but he played the correct ball, he has been super this season.
:43:54. > :43:56.Difficult for Inverness. A sense they have tailed off slightly but
:43:57. > :44:02.have they exceeded expectations this season?
:44:03. > :44:07.Yes, they have done all right. It is a transitional period. John Hughes
:44:08. > :44:11.is trying to change their style of play to play out from the back, they
:44:12. > :44:16.got caught today and they will learn from that. Hopefully it will stand
:44:17. > :44:22.them in good stead for next season and they can use the experienced of
:44:23. > :44:26.the last couple of weeks for next season. -- the experience.
:44:27. > :44:32.Neil Lennon was nominated for manager of the year. Reports today
:44:33. > :44:36.he was on the short list for the Norwich City job. How would you see
:44:37. > :44:40.that? I cannot imagine he would imagine
:44:41. > :44:46.going to Norwich if they go down and there is a good chance of that. I
:44:47. > :44:50.think Neil Lennon can get a really good job in England. What has
:44:51. > :44:55.happened to David Moyes has had a negative effect. Why leave Celtic
:44:56. > :45:00.just now? I do not think you should because there are other things they
:45:01. > :45:05.can do. There is a really good argument he has done so well this
:45:06. > :45:11.season, and 72 is the goal difference. Maybe at least one more
:45:12. > :45:13.season Neil Lennon has to stay and he was in the running for manager of
:45:14. > :45:21.the year but he did not get it. And after that stonking win, Celtic
:45:22. > :45:24.very much keep alive their hope of finishing the season with over 100
:45:25. > :45:29.points. They could also hit the 100-goals total!
:45:30. > :45:34.The race for the second and third European spots remains alive, after
:45:35. > :45:37.Aberdeen could only draw with St Johnstone and Motherwell were
:45:38. > :45:41.thumped by Dundee United. And we have already had a look at the
:45:42. > :45:43.bottom six, but how tight is that? Two points separating five teams.
:45:44. > :45:48.It promises to be a fantastically dramatic end to the Scottish
:45:49. > :45:51.Premiership season. But sometimes, football needs put in perspective.
:45:52. > :45:54.Sandy Jardine was a true legend of the Scottish game. He will be hugely
:45:55. > :46:01.missed. From all of us here, goodnight.
:46:02. > :46:16.Sandy Jardine has had the match of his life!
:46:17. > :46:36.One each! Sandy Jardine! You've become an Eeyore.
:46:37. > :46:41.And you've got to be a Tigger.
