:00:24. > :00:28.45 minutes of festive football coming up as we pull together for
:00:28. > :00:33.you all the Boxing Day action from the SPL. In the studio two, former
:00:33. > :00:38.team-mates with a little bit of an age difference between them who
:00:38. > :00:43.have both scored in this Kilmarnock-Rangers game from August
:00:43. > :00:50.2000, yes, it was 12 years ago. That was his first goal for Rangers,
:00:50. > :01:00.but White Caps striker Kenny Miller is with us in the studio. Billy and
:01:00. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:26.I were last night seeing a game. We scoop behind by Douglas. A great
:01:26. > :01:28.
:01:28. > :01:38.cross in. Charlie Mulgrew. Delivery is good. That's caused problems,
:01:38. > :01:48.
:01:48. > :01:58.over the bar. Up and over, didn't flicked across, good save by the
:01:58. > :02:09.
:02:09. > :02:19.goalkeeper Samaras. A great finish, lashed it into the net. It was a
:02:19. > :02:24.
:02:24. > :02:31.Samaras, opens himself up, and it's a finger-tip save from Douglas,
:02:31. > :02:41.almost the second of the night for the Greek. A good finish, a great
:02:41. > :02:47.
:02:47. > :02:52.ball, Conroy stops the action, and John Baird - Kevin Wilson was
:02:52. > :03:02.running alongside him. He had been pulling at him, and we have not
:03:02. > :03:03.
:03:03. > :03:12.heard the last of that. McBride on to Lockwood, Con roy. Nish with the
:03:12. > :03:16.save, Wilson away. This is a great ball. He could not have made that
:03:17. > :03:24.any sweeter, pushed away by the goalkeeper. Dundee were almost
:03:24. > :03:30.level. There's McAlastair, Dundee, starting to find their rhythm, a
:03:30. > :03:36.ball to the middle. Nish wanted it. It was knocked away, Gary Irvin.
:03:36. > :03:46.Nish gets back up. On to John Barens, much, much better from
:03:46. > :04:01.
:04:01. > :04:10.Forestieri, plenty of Dundee players back who will have to
:04:10. > :04:20.defend this cross if it comes - a fine save, and Baird picks it up
:04:20. > :04:30.
:04:30. > :04:33.and clears. Douglas put down some and getting involved Benedictus
:04:33. > :04:40.with Hooper. I don't think the Dundee centre half liked the way
:04:40. > :04:50.his legs came up. He felt the right leg was leaning into him. A little
:04:50. > :04:56.
:04:56. > :05:01.bit of afters - the referee Hooper has finished. 19 minutes to
:05:01. > :05:05.play - it's the second for Celtic, and it's sublime from Gary Hooper.
:05:05. > :05:10.The central defenders were not aligned as control killed the ball.
:05:10. > :05:18.His finish has killed off Dundee. That's brilliant from Gary Hooper.
:05:18. > :05:27.Clinical and deadly, and he lifts Celtic, you would think now, to all
:05:27. > :05:37.three points. Every picture tells a story. Celtic
:05:37. > :05:45.
:05:46. > :05:55.forced out. He's doing what he does best, keeping opponents at bay.
:05:56. > :05:59.
:05:59. > :06:03.really good save from him. Gary Hooper trying to come inside on the
:06:03. > :06:07.channel. That's a fine save. It's beginning to look pretty ominous
:06:07. > :06:11.for the rest of the SPL. Celtic's current run of form - six straight
:06:11. > :06:15.wins. It's increased their advantage at the top and has also
:06:15. > :06:18.taken them to the last 16 of the Scottish Cup and more prestigiously
:06:18. > :06:22.the last 16 of the Champions' League. How impressed are you with
:06:22. > :06:26.your old team? Yes, it's fantastic achievement for them to make the
:06:26. > :06:29.last 16 of the Champions' League, and you see now they've dispatched
:06:29. > :06:31.that, now they've got that out of the way because they worked well in
:06:31. > :06:35.the League at home and in particular when the Champions'
:06:35. > :06:38.League was going on, but now they've put a fantastic run of
:06:38. > :06:43.early results together in the League now. Like you say, they're
:06:43. > :06:46.moving clear at the top. You and I were there last night. Celtic had a
:06:46. > :06:51.succession of first-half corner kicks. It was only matter of time
:06:51. > :06:55.before they broke through. Yeah, they had a distinct advantage. You
:06:55. > :07:00.see Ambrose there over Dundee. You can see it highlighted there - all
:07:00. > :07:05.matched up. You don't drop runners. They drop Ambrose, then the theme
:07:05. > :07:10.continued. You see there again dropping runners, and the next one
:07:10. > :07:17.you will see - it comes to War. He's peeled away. The finish was
:07:17. > :07:22.sublime. It's just one of those ones that fly in the top of the net.
:07:22. > :07:28.But it's highlighted three Dundee players, three Celtic players, and
:07:28. > :07:34.they still got one in. They had to truck runners, and they didn't.
:07:34. > :07:38.it inevitable Kevin Wilson is going to be hearing from Lummi at the
:07:38. > :07:43.Scottish FA? No, we see here the running - I was going to say leave
:07:43. > :07:47.it to Kenny, but he was going to join Baird, but Kevin Wilson, the
:07:47. > :07:51.one thing you can do is lash out. No-one likes to see players getting
:07:51. > :07:54.suspended, but that is a clear elbow there. Like I said, he'll be
:07:54. > :07:58.hearing from somebody about that. The point I am making is Wilson was
:07:59. > :08:03.saying you were pulling me but it doesn't just mean to say you can
:08:03. > :08:06.give them one of them, so I think he could be in trouble. Colin Nish
:08:06. > :08:09.you know well. Despite the fact this was a terrific save from
:08:09. > :08:15.Forestieri, he'll be pretty disappointed he didn't tuck this
:08:15. > :08:25.chance away at a point in the game when Dundee were doing well. That
:08:25. > :08:27.
:08:27. > :08:31.was a fantastic save. He headed it pretty much straight at him. Kevin
:08:31. > :08:38.Pietersen -- Forest of Deaner will be glad he had the chance.
:08:38. > :08:42.Particularly when you're on top you don't get too many chances against
:08:42. > :08:51.rp -- against Celtic. What was puzzling me at that point in the
:08:51. > :08:58.game is why Dundee didn't start the first half like that. Celtic were
:08:58. > :09:02.in midfield. I don't know if it was a combination in the second half. I
:09:02. > :09:09.know it's a silly thing - maybe the manager getting in telling them to
:09:09. > :09:13.get five yards closer, trying to squeeze up against them in midfield.
:09:13. > :09:20.Dundee had the lad's chunk in the second half. They were unlucky to
:09:20. > :09:28.go 2-0 behind. They had the combination of failing to take
:09:28. > :09:31.their chances and defensive mistakes. That's a fabulous move.
:09:31. > :09:37.It's a fabulous touch for Gary Hooper, and he's matched up with
:09:37. > :09:40.the run, the touch and the perfect finish. Again, it's very
:09:40. > :09:48.disappointing for Dundee because it is a straight ball, again, what a
:09:48. > :09:53.finish. Two great goals from Celtic. We're not denying that, but we're
:09:53. > :09:59.saying Benedictus shouldn't have given the goal away. Taking nothing
:09:59. > :10:06.away from Gary Hooper, the tough, the awareness - he had everything.
:10:06. > :10:16.Motherwell is back at the top end SPL, came to an end in Paisley.
:10:16. > :10:25.
:10:25. > :10:31.They were looking to get kick and Jonny Hayes. There's
:10:31. > :10:41.Shaughnessy - Randolph and the second attempt is missed by Niall
:10:41. > :10:42.
:10:42. > :10:52.McGinn again, and he certainly hasn't missed much of late. Flicked
:10:52. > :11:10.
:11:10. > :11:14.away by Michael Fallon. It bounced Murphie - a good ball and 1-0,
:11:14. > :11:18.Hateley. Inside the ninth minute, Motherwell ahead. He doesn't score
:11:18. > :11:28.too many headers, Hateley. His old man Mark would have been proud of
:11:28. > :11:35.
:11:35. > :11:45.Gavin Rea picks out Fallon, well struck. Was probably never going to
:11:45. > :11:51.
:11:51. > :12:01.find its way in, but it had to be Motherwell. Here is Ojamma, a burst
:12:01. > :12:02.
:12:02. > :12:10.of pace from Nicky Law. It's Jamie Murphie - make that 2-0. 31 minutes
:12:10. > :12:20.on the clock. Langfield is beaten again. And Motherwell are two goals
:12:20. > :12:20.
:12:20. > :12:30.in front. He reached out with the left hand, Langfield, but he
:12:30. > :12:36.
:12:36. > :12:44.Aberdeen back in the game. Just three minutes after Motherwell took
:12:44. > :12:54.a two-goal lead, Aberdeen peg them back, and Randolph was not going to
:12:54. > :13:04.
:13:04. > :13:10.stop that one, a sweet strike from youngster Frank Lampard -- Frances,
:13:10. > :13:15.Jamie Murphie, great composure, great goal. It's 3-1 Motherwell on
:13:15. > :13:20.halftime two, goals for Jamie Murphie. It's the fourth time this
:13:20. > :13:23.season he's been at the double, and this one puts the home team in a
:13:23. > :13:31.really strong position looking for revenge for their Scottish Cup
:13:31. > :13:37.defeat here. A good take by Darren Randolph, and Motherwell are
:13:37. > :13:47.quickly on the move with Nicky Law looking to catch out Aberdeen.
:13:47. > :13:47.
:13:47. > :13:53.Henrik Ojamaa beaten Reyes as if he isn't there. Three players around
:13:53. > :14:01.him, still has it, brilliant from Ojamma, and there's number four ten
:14:01. > :14:06.minutes after the restart, and that surely must be game over. It's
:14:06. > :14:10.Michael Higdon, but it was all about Ojamma, the little estonian
:14:10. > :14:16.unplayable when he's on this sort of form, and he had Aberdeen tied
:14:16. > :14:26.in knots, and the cut-back was skilfully bit away in the end by
:14:26. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:35.Ojamaa has a chance. Down he goes, and that's a penalty. Tripped by
:14:35. > :14:45.Clark Robertson, who gets a yellow card just to compound the misery,
:14:45. > :14:53.not too much doubt about it. Jamie Murphie on the hat-trick. Oh,
:14:53. > :15:01.that's a really poor effort. What an opportunity for a hat-trick from
:15:01. > :15:07.Murphie, but it was tame. A lovely flick from Ojamma. Nicky Law in
:15:07. > :15:11.goal - there's Ojamma, touched around the post by Langfield, could
:15:11. > :15:16.so easily have been number five for Motherwell, but they'll settle for
:15:16. > :15:19.4-1. I mentioned revenge there for Motherwell losing to Aberdeen in
:15:19. > :15:22.the Scottish Cup. That was a thumping win against a team of
:15:22. > :15:28.Aberdeen's quality, wasn't it was, especially Aberdeen going in
:15:28. > :15:32.there beating them in the Scottish Cup. I was in London last week.
:15:32. > :15:36.They said the first goal was all- important. It would be difficult
:15:36. > :15:43.getting behind them, but he said if we score first, which Aberdeen did,
:15:43. > :15:47.that's the game wrapped up. Jamie Murphie caught the eye. He has been
:15:47. > :15:51.doing it a lot recently - he finds room, and he can finish. He finds a
:15:51. > :15:55.position. He's at the heart of pretty much all that was good in
:15:55. > :16:00.Motherwell yesterday. And if you see him moving, he fixes it behind.
:16:00. > :16:06.He checks. He's constantly moving, and again, he comes - the goal side
:16:06. > :16:10.of the ball, takes a fantastic touch and a great finish. His
:16:10. > :16:14.movement was fantastic all day. That's good playing and a great
:16:14. > :16:18.goal, but he scored against Aberdeen in the Cup up there. Maybe
:16:18. > :16:25.Langfield - Verny should be doing more on his left foot, and he
:16:25. > :16:29.wouldn't have scored that goal. I think he's getting bored with the
:16:29. > :16:33.transfer talk. It's not yet happened. He's maybe wondering in
:16:33. > :16:39.the team time is right That's it. When you're playing well and
:16:39. > :16:44.scoring goals, you're always gob going to attract attention. On that,
:16:44. > :16:48.he's had a fantastic game. It's always going to bring attention to
:16:48. > :16:52.you. That penalty may have done him out of that move. We're not trying
:16:52. > :16:57.to talk players out of Motherwell but Ojamma is another - the Polish
:16:57. > :17:00.team are interested in him at the moment. He's a 21-year-old Estonian.
:17:00. > :17:04.He has some impact, a bit like Jamie Murphie. With the two of them
:17:04. > :17:09.on form, no wonder Aberdeen are in trouble. Everybody expected him
:17:09. > :17:12.because when he first came he, scored a lot of goals, but he's not
:17:13. > :17:17.natural goal scorer, but he's got so much about him, so much energy,
:17:17. > :17:21.very direct and brings so much to the team. You see the service there
:17:21. > :17:27.- Michael Higdon has got there has done great and Jamie Murphie. It's
:17:27. > :17:31.a striker's dream, two players like that creating chances for you.
:17:31. > :17:38.Aberdeen under-achieving, Billy, when you look at the quality
:17:38. > :17:41.they've got in the squad? I think they have a few injuries. They have
:17:41. > :17:45.a few injuries. I think they've still got a good team. I think
:17:45. > :17:50.they'll finish up there this season. I think they'll come through it,
:17:50. > :18:00.just a sticky patch at this moment in time. The action stretched on
:18:00. > :18:07.
:18:07. > :18:12.for the best part of ten hours must up league win in the August
:18:12. > :18:16.and Gavin Gunning got a bar to the power but stopped. The applause
:18:16. > :18:23.with free kick Andy Gunning be earmarked getting things all his
:18:23. > :18:29.own weight. With the gull coming to just two minutes there was plenty
:18:29. > :18:34.of Ortega constant you get back into the match. The Dundee United
:18:34. > :18:43.keeper had to go arctic from another crack at that. But teams
:18:43. > :18:48.were coming into this one of the back of defeats. The hounds died
:18:48. > :18:55.were enjoying plenty of possession continued to quit chances. There
:18:55. > :19:05.have the Highlands looked. While this doesn't goalkeeper was busy,
:19:05. > :19:14.
:19:14. > :19:22.so, to his opposite number. Getting it it'd be up. There are a bit
:19:22. > :19:32.McCracken also it looked as burning was mucking. The second half
:19:32. > :19:41.
:19:41. > :19:47.started as it has triggered a goal. the ball hit into his own net.
:19:47. > :19:54.After the equaliser, the visitors almost grabbed another, a run down
:19:54. > :20:04.the wing, clever from McLean to set the goal up, but chess kneeac threw
:20:04. > :20:10.
:20:10. > :20:19.himself at the shot. It was more to the Dundee United manager, what
:20:19. > :20:26.he'd have given for Gunning to get another, but Craig cleared well. At
:20:26. > :20:30.the other end, MacKay set up a St Johnstone chance, his ball nicely
:20:30. > :20:34.flicked on. Tady powered through but the keeper kept out his shot.
:20:34. > :20:38.Dundee United mid table at the moment. I know you don't watch an
:20:38. > :20:41.awful lot of Scottish football in Canada, but are they a team you
:20:41. > :20:46.would expect to be further up the table? Definitely. I think if you
:20:46. > :20:54.look at the players they've got, the forwards they've got are always
:20:54. > :21:01.amongst the goals and I think they must - miss MacKay. I have seen him
:21:01. > :21:05.a lot over the last year-and-a-half. He's a great supply for them.
:21:05. > :21:10.you see the tightly packed league table, both of those with a run of
:21:10. > :21:14.wins would put themselves up there. I think there's a lot of teams in
:21:14. > :21:17.the league that could run - really fly up the league. I think Dundee
:21:17. > :21:27.United - I have to say I think they're struggling to get the best
:21:27. > :21:33.
:21:33. > :21:43.When there exists, get Twitter back in the meeting up the signals to up
:21:43. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:52.its affecting the again as a whole. To go at they are going to get
:21:52. > :22:02.going to village. Gavin Gunning could have had a hat-trick of
:22:02. > :22:06.
:22:06. > :22:16.headers of. Five goals six chances. He a big sulk free. Low at this. It
:22:16. > :22:24.
:22:24. > :22:28.was not just Giggsy he broke. He scored one, could have reaped five
:22:28. > :22:38.or six to Frances Cary the match. What de Boer spin Johnston, they
:22:38. > :22:41.
:22:41. > :22:46.could do with a win? They were a bit lucky. United by Barepot. Steve
:22:46. > :22:52.Lomas de, there is a positive, we won a have. There have been too
:22:52. > :22:57.many draws for strokes to know but they are playing up. Hearts were
:22:57. > :23:07.looking to extend their three-match unbeaten run at Kilmarnock
:23:07. > :23:09.
:23:09. > :23:16.yesterday it. Kilmarnock and aspirations as well.
:23:16. > :23:24.Kilmarnock drew here against any and at the weekend. The kitchen are
:23:24. > :23:29.up and dignity, there are on the air here. Up hold on. There was a
:23:29. > :23:39.foul as well according to the ref riba. It will be a free kick
:23:39. > :24:02.
:24:02. > :24:09.up. A wave from the FA Cup, away from Nelson. James Dixon. Always is
:24:09. > :24:19.that he won a penalty. Here is Eguren will challenge go Andy
:24:19. > :24:19.
:24:19. > :24:26.Webster. Not after Giggs rates ASDA t. Liam Kelly, who has been Denly,
:24:26. > :24:36.from the Distin isn't. Continues to grip. Back in the track, a free up
:24:36. > :24:39.
:24:39. > :24:49.suspension a back arm the middle. That was a good opportunity
:24:49. > :25:07.
:25:07. > :25:16.met this. This is a good opportunity. Driver again - seen
:25:16. > :25:26.plenty of the ball in this game. That's Sutton, poked away. There
:25:26. > :25:29.
:25:29. > :25:36.was a penalty here for Hearts. Touil, a former player of
:25:36. > :25:42.Kilmarnock, of course. Driver. He fancied this himself here. Bell's
:25:42. > :25:52.equal to it. He's having another good season, Cammy Bell. That's
:25:52. > :26:00.
:26:00. > :26:05.Smith. Cammy Bell is taking a really sore one. He was committed
:26:05. > :26:11.to at least trying to win the ball back. John Sutton goes into the
:26:11. > :26:16.book. Bell's going to be OK, thankfully. Hearts will feel
:26:16. > :26:21.aggrieved to be behind in the scheme. They put plenty into it and
:26:21. > :26:31.are continuing to do so with Paul McGowan. Away by Nelson. Touil!
:26:31. > :26:31.
:26:31. > :26:39.Bell again. The danger is snuffed out. It was the little Moroccan on
:26:39. > :26:47.the left peg. Shiels in the stand - well documented and on the phone as
:26:47. > :26:50.well. Jimmy Nickel in the fore- picture there urging his troops on.
:26:50. > :26:56.Kilmarnock continuing to lead, but they've got a big problem here.
:26:56. > :27:01.It's Callum Patterson in own-goal, and that is an anti-climax. A bit
:27:01. > :27:06.of afters as well between Fowler and Patterson, but what an
:27:06. > :27:12.opportunity this was - could put it away from Nelson having robbed
:27:12. > :27:18.Sosoko. He needed to go around the goal keeper, and he didn't. That's
:27:18. > :27:26.poor from Zalkiukas. Down goes Heffernan. It is a free kick and
:27:26. > :27:29.Zalkiukas off here. Steven McClain pulling him over - yellow only, and
:27:29. > :27:32.presumably that's because Jimmy McDonald had dealt with the
:27:32. > :27:36.situation. Lots of supporters of lots of teams
:27:36. > :27:39.will be dreading the transfer window and wondering which of their
:27:39. > :27:44.stars will be departing, maybe Hearts more than most because they
:27:44. > :27:47.probably need the money more than most. You see Andy Driver playing
:27:47. > :27:53.there. He's a player that's linked with speculation over the last two,
:27:53. > :27:59.three years. He's had a fantastic game. He's had crosses and things.
:27:59. > :28:05.I'm sure January can't come quicker. Liam Kelly is a fancied player as
:28:05. > :28:08.well. Trying to sell a few on this programme! They have talent in this
:28:08. > :28:13.country. That's why they're spoken about. These players you're talking
:28:13. > :28:19.about, Rob, they're showing it - Jamie Murphie, Kelly, players like
:28:19. > :28:24.that he has a lot going on in his life over the last year but
:28:24. > :28:31.certainly a good player. Scotland team-mate Andy Webster won't be too
:28:31. > :28:40.happy looking back on this. Yeah, a tricky winger running out of the
:28:40. > :28:45.box. It's a stonewall penalty, dispatched really well by Kelly.
:28:46. > :28:50.That's the position James Dayton puts you in, the way he plays. Are
:28:50. > :28:55.you surprised he doesn't start more for Kilmarnock? Yeah, I have been
:28:55. > :28:59.speaking of it to a few people. Kenny needs to be more consistent.
:28:59. > :29:03.Sometimes you get that with wingers, but James Dayton on form every game
:29:03. > :29:08.I have seen him has caused teams problems. I don't know why he
:29:08. > :29:11.doesn't get a more regular start. Hearts are very defensive with
:29:11. > :29:14.Zalkiukas in defence, but they struggle to get goals that seems to
:29:14. > :29:24.be a recurring problem. I don't think anybody scored more than four
:29:24. > :29:33.
:29:33. > :29:42.London what looked the lapped of gulls that day has up. That is a
:29:42. > :29:51.problem. The couple also ignore it expects. Paterson for that is what
:29:51. > :29:58.it away. Yes, 22 apiece. Greatest fear experienced a key wicket. Some
:29:58. > :30:03.body with pace does not think, getting caught. Maybe because he is
:30:03. > :30:12.not a natural striker but looking back, he is thinking, why did I
:30:12. > :30:22.hits it a lick? There was a Boxing Day batting at Easter Road. Once
:30:22. > :30:29.
:30:30. > :30:34.granted would have to be Hibs there was little in the wake of
:30:34. > :30:42.Christmas cheer. Bits delivery from the corner. The kids captain did
:30:42. > :30:46.not good enough on it. The first half was bereft of action. In fact,
:30:46. > :30:53.the game was almost an hour in when there was something to get extra to
:30:53. > :31:01.go back. These doctors to reduce Britain's the header past the
:31:01. > :31:11.keeper, Ben Williams. The captain low be pleased with insults. Were
:31:11. > :31:17.
:31:17. > :31:22.Ross County about to end there were average month could not keep his
:31:23. > :31:26.hair up. December that its box been a good month with Eastern we are
:31:26. > :31:36.equipped. While this game may have been a drop of, they were creating
:31:36. > :31:49.
:31:49. > :31:54.chance. He does go An Tiki but formerly of Hibs was tested Eggen.
:31:54. > :32:02.After pushing the... It into the path of Dail he was then beaten but
:32:03. > :32:10.the goal Bo was disallowed for our spirit. The referee raised the flak
:32:10. > :32:19.the gull was denied. Hibs continued to use it for the equaliser. There
:32:19. > :32:25.is to be easy take off. Another good degree Bournemouth and it not
:32:26. > :32:32.a great after minutes for Hibs. Russ Garrity t nine points clear
:32:32. > :32:42.are bottom spot. You do with hits. A great for us
:32:42. > :32:52.
:32:52. > :32:56.have our the season but telling off obviously if you go through spells
:32:56. > :33:06.like that, if you want to stay at the top of the league you're going
:33:06. > :33:08.
:33:08. > :33:13.to have to start winning games again. They have to keep him
:33:13. > :33:17.because of the goals he scored - Doyle is doing OK, like anybody
:33:17. > :33:21.going through the sticky patch, Hibs need a win. We were talking
:33:21. > :33:27.about how closely matched the teams are, but I think sometimes if you
:33:27. > :33:32.lose a couple, the confidence is down. If you win a couple, you have
:33:32. > :33:36.confidence. Hibs will go right back up again. Ritchie is not a player
:33:36. > :33:42.known for scoring header goals. was a fantastic header, whether he
:33:42. > :33:45.meant it or not is another question, but he found the space in the box,
:33:45. > :33:50.and when he's 18 yards out, he's pretty much trying to direct it
:33:50. > :33:54.towards the goal, and it turned out to be a fantastic finish. It ended
:33:54. > :33:59.a spell of nine matches - the win for Ross County in two months.
:33:59. > :34:02.Really important he gets that nine- point gap in at the moment. To get
:34:02. > :34:07.that result is a huge bid of confidence for them. It didn't
:34:07. > :34:13.surprise me when they went in front and held on. That's when they had
:34:13. > :34:18.that 40-odd unbeaten run. When they went in the lead at Easter Road,
:34:18. > :34:28.that's what they did - soaked up the pressure and came away with a
:34:28. > :34:40.
:34:40. > :34:47.valuable three points. St Mirren McGowan has it right side up. He
:34:47. > :34:56.goes for goal, and that's to silence him. What a strike from
:34:56. > :35:06.Imrie. In the last SPL game of the season, and Dougie plants it in the
:35:06. > :35:11.
:35:11. > :35:21.goes. It's netted against Hearts and Dundee at that end. Craig
:35:21. > :35:32.
:35:32. > :35:35.comes in, drives the ball against Craig Sampson, another good save
:35:35. > :35:42.from the keeper. The Brisbane buddies - I think you're supposed
:35:42. > :35:52.to go to Australia for Christmas. He rattles the frame. Reguero was
:35:52. > :36:02.
:36:02. > :36:05.beaten here. It was a great effort should have scored. It was an
:36:05. > :36:15.excellent chance for Cally Thistle number eight. Four goals this term,
:36:15. > :36:16.
:36:16. > :36:21.should have been five. Jones towards Shinnie to MacKay. MacKay,
:36:21. > :36:26.Foran leads it off, good touch away, back to MacKay, a lovely ball
:36:26. > :36:36.across, the header - came from Doran, and again, protecting his
:36:36. > :36:49.
:36:49. > :36:55.post was Sampson. A great build-up It's Shinnie - to his brother and
:36:55. > :36:58.Shinnie escaped to Gary Teale. He hit it and hit it beautifully. The
:36:58. > :37:08.equaliser for Cally Thistle has been coming, and it comes to the
:37:08. > :37:15.
:37:15. > :37:22.boot of Shinnie, ever present this Teale clips it, and the header and
:37:22. > :37:27.Steven Thompson has scored, a purple cross from Gary Teale teal
:37:27. > :37:30.and Steven Thompson makes no mistake, ten minutes gone in the
:37:30. > :37:37.second half, and it's Steven Thompson with the perfect header.
:37:37. > :37:42.Reguero couldn't keep it out. A corner to cross. A couple of
:37:42. > :37:47.headers away. That could break on Doran. The shot - it's off the
:37:47. > :37:51.goalkeeper. Ritchie Foran with the header, 2-2. They have come from
:37:51. > :37:59.behind again with a quarter of the match left and Foran with the
:37:59. > :38:09.header. It was MacKay who left it, nearly took Foran's head off, a
:38:09. > :38:18.
:38:18. > :38:28.save, and it's clear. A lovely play, hit the one-two, it was almost
:38:28. > :38:33.
:38:33. > :38:38.perfect, and the goalkeeper getting Gary Teale. Saints looking to go
:38:39. > :38:47.ahead a third time. Guy. It's off the cross bar this time, and it's
:38:47. > :38:57.away - eventually by Alan Pardew -- Doran. Not once but twice it hits
:38:57. > :39:00.
:39:00. > :39:07.problems. That could fall on to Gary Teale - rattles it. It's
:39:07. > :39:11.offside. Lewis Guy is offside, but only just, disappointment for St
:39:11. > :39:21.Mirren. Gary Teale hits this, but he just takes a step into the yard
:39:21. > :39:25.
:39:25. > :39:30.one in, Reguero with the save, got it in the second attempt, and a
:39:30. > :39:34.good hit from Gary Teale. As you scan the SPL table in your
:39:35. > :39:38.luxury mansion accommodation in Vancouver you must be aware how
:39:38. > :39:42.Inverness have done in the season but maybe not too surprised about
:39:42. > :39:47.the prominent part - Shinnie is playing for them, having watched
:39:47. > :39:52.him as a youngster at Rangers. has been one of the main reasons
:39:52. > :39:55.for them doing well. I have always liked Andy as a player. He's very,
:39:55. > :40:00.very comfortable with the ball, plays intelligent club football.
:40:00. > :40:05.That's a great strike. He worked it great into position before that and
:40:05. > :40:09.obviously he's flourishing getting regular first-team football now.
:40:09. > :40:14.got bored from picking out MacKay every week scoring out so many
:40:14. > :40:18.goals, Shinnie especially - he went through a spell he wasn't scoring.
:40:18. > :40:22.Now he's back. In Dundee as well. He's always one of those guys who
:40:22. > :40:27.gets in the box. Sometimes when they get in the boxes they don't
:40:27. > :40:30.take much part in it. But he's got so much game awareness, he's always
:40:30. > :40:33.getting involved, a little one-two, finding himself in the box.
:40:33. > :40:37.Yesterday's goal and other ones were showing he can certainly
:40:37. > :40:41.finish. If you're a keeper playing Inverness at the moment you know
:40:41. > :40:46.you're going to be busy and Sampson certainly rose to the challenge.
:40:47. > :40:50.Yeah. They're 1-0 up here, and he's made a great save there from
:40:50. > :40:55.distance. He's had another few saves as well, which at the time
:40:55. > :40:58.kept his team with a 1-0 lead. Here, again, that's a fantastic save.
:40:59. > :41:02.It's close range and a great reaction save from him. He's got
:41:02. > :41:06.himself into the Scotland squad. That's heightened his belief in
:41:06. > :41:11.himself, Billy. Of course it has. I think both of them - you're talking
:41:11. > :41:15.about - Shinnie and Sampson, I worked with them both, really pro's,
:41:15. > :41:19.boys who wanted to do well, a little bit of maturity and
:41:19. > :41:23.experience playing games has brought them on tonnes, and in the
:41:23. > :41:27.international set-up for the two of them has just capped it off for
:41:27. > :41:30.them. It was a game either of the two teams could have gone on to one
:41:30. > :41:34.because those were Inverness shot at goal. These were St Mirren
:41:34. > :41:38.efforts, three of them back off the frame. This was Graham Kenny's free
:41:38. > :41:43.kick. That would have put them 2-0 up at the time, very unfortunate
:41:43. > :41:47.for them. He's got a fantastic set piece delivering there, again, the
:41:47. > :41:52.keeper's up there. This is Lewis Guy hitting the post, then the bar
:41:52. > :41:58.a few seconds later. I thought Inverness would win this yesterday,
:41:58. > :42:03.but I think St Mirren looking at this have been unlucky. Ronald had
:42:03. > :42:09.the last free kick, then Lewis Guy had the cross bar, counting
:42:09. > :42:14.themselves extremely unlucky. second one, he did fancy a score.
:42:14. > :42:19.Looking back on it, he had it on target, then the header - seeing
:42:19. > :42:24.that back he would have thought I should have scored. St Mirren were
:42:24. > :42:28.a team your name was being linked with in terms of a possible loan
:42:28. > :42:31.move from Vancouver. That a starter? No, to be honest, there
:42:31. > :42:35.has been no contact between any club and my club. There has been a
:42:35. > :42:39.little bit of speculation, but again, that's something I would be
:42:39. > :42:42.interested in, but I think there's got to be some kind of deal and
:42:42. > :42:46.link with Vancouver and some kind of contact, but there has been
:42:46. > :42:51.nothing in it at all. How is Vancouver going for you so far?
:42:51. > :42:56.Sounds like heaven to me. It's a great place to live. For me, it was
:42:56. > :43:00.a pretty average kind of three, four months for me, like, with the
:43:00. > :43:05.football. I was coming off the back a long, close season with a season
:43:05. > :43:08.finish with Cardiff, and I never really got going. I think we only
:43:09. > :43:12.had ten, 12 games to go. At the time, I was maybe just getting
:43:12. > :43:15.going, the season was finished. For me, it was a disappointing -
:43:15. > :43:19.personally, a disappointing three, four months. Hopefully we can put
:43:19. > :43:23.that right this year. Will you keep on playing for Scotland? I hope so,
:43:23. > :43:29.as long as the new manager picks me, whoever that is that is going to
:43:29. > :43:39.come in in the next few months. Hopefully, I'll be selected because
:43:39. > :44:14.
:44:14. > :44:19.I have quite a bit to offer the next Sunday night, back at our
