This could be something quite sensational. Right out of the top

:00:11.:00:29.

draw. The shot is an absolute beauty. Oh, yes. True quality.

:00:30.:00:37.

Absolutely sensational. What a strike. Right here, right now, this

:00:38.:00:39.

is history. Weekend four of the Premiership

:00:40.:00:41.

season and finally we've 6pm, Sunday nights,

:00:42.:00:44.

BBC Two Scotland, the new regular With us tonight - before

:00:45.:00:48.

we take a breather for the international break -

:00:49.:00:53.

Steven Thompson and Michael Stewart. No doubt about the game

:00:54.:00:56.

of the weekend. The sides who'd finished first

:00:57.:01:00.

and second in both of the last two 22 straight league defeats

:01:01.:01:03.

for Aberdeen in the east end COMMENTATOR: Is that the goal which

:01:04.:01:42.

gives Aberdeen the win against Celtic? Griffiths. They cannot seem

:01:43.:01:51.

to topple the champions in Glasgow. That is about the strongest Celtic

:01:52.:01:59.

line-up you will see, despite the exertions. Derek McInnes as spent

:02:00.:02:07.

the week are trying to stem a book. He is without captain Jack Pallett.

:02:08.:02:24.

Wes Burns has gone for glory himself. He could have pulled back

:02:25.:02:29.

here. 22 straight defeats in the league

:02:30.:02:41.

for Aberdeen at Celtic Park. It is a horrendous record. Two wins since

:02:42.:02:43.

1993 here. In the top-flight. The goalkeeper was beaten all ends

:02:44.:02:53.

up. What I hit that was. James Forrest is a man reborn this

:02:54.:03:07.

season. How good was that for Leigh

:03:08.:03:16.

Griffiths? It is a poignant tribute to Kieran

:03:17.:03:30.

McDade, the 13-year-old who passed away tragically playing football for

:03:31.:03:34.

his school team. And this was scored on the 13th minute. A special

:03:35.:03:37.

moment. Anthony O'Connor looks to be a real

:03:38.:03:43.

shrewd signing by Derek McInnes. Rooney, one apiece. Amazing! The

:03:44.:04:02.

debut keeper couldn't keep out Adam Rooney. The poacher supreme, very

:04:03.:04:10.

much against the run of play, ties things up at Parkhead. The dons have

:04:11.:04:18.

been so far out of this game. To be on level terms...

:04:19.:04:35.

A superb finish, and the Celtic league is restored two minutes shy

:04:36.:04:39.

of the break by James Forrest. Shanked. Celtic will go up at

:04:40.:05:01.

half-time in the lead and deservedly so. -- Celtic will go off. Last

:05:02.:05:07.

season's top two. 15 point of a difference between them in the end.

:05:08.:05:11.

Celtic looking to continue this start to the season.

:05:12.:05:18.

Celtic have been so much better today than they were in Israel on

:05:19.:05:31.

Tuesday. They could barely string three or four passes together. Not

:05:32.:05:34.

that it mattered. Celtic have been streets ahead,

:05:35.:05:54.

certainly in the first half. The Dons have been better in the second

:05:55.:05:56.

period. The Aberdeen captain in the absence

:05:57.:06:27.

of Ryan Jack with an opportunity to level things again, Graeme Shinnie.

:06:28.:06:45.

He knew exactly what he was doing, the Aberdeen defender, and he gets a

:06:46.:06:58.

yellow card. Tom Rogic has given Celtic a fresh appearance since

:06:59.:06:59.

coming off the bench. Didn't quite catch it. He has made

:07:00.:07:15.

such an impression since arriving from Aston Villa.

:07:16.:07:27.

Sinclair was giving Logan a hard time. It is a penalty and Reynolds

:07:28.:07:37.

will be ordered off. If this goes on... A confirmation of the second

:07:38.:07:42.

yellow sees Reynolds off and this will surely end the match as a

:07:43.:07:46.

contest, going into the final stages. Sinclair will take this

:07:47.:07:47.

himself. 3-1! Game over! Scott Sinclair

:07:48.:07:52.

scores again. Aberdeen are going to have to go

:07:53.:08:05.

back home and think again. Graeme Shinnie can't believe it, a

:08:06.:08:18.

free kick for that. Celtic maintaining this 100% start

:08:19.:08:35.

to their title defence. Roberts takes it and scores it. Aberdeen are

:08:36.:08:39.

complaining the referee had not blown his whistle, but that is just

:08:40.:08:44.

applying some serious gloss to the scoreline. A terrific free kick by

:08:45.:08:54.

Tom Rogic. The Dons are putting their pace. Your map is a difficult

:08:55.:08:57.

the players because the travel and everything they have put into it. It

:08:58.:09:05.

gathers emphasis for the final half hour of the game and it was really

:09:06.:09:09.

good. To end up scoring four goals against a very good side and late

:09:10.:09:13.

on, it really shows the mental and physical fitness of the players,

:09:14.:09:16.

that they are relentless at the moment. It has been a near-perfect

:09:17.:09:24.

start. If we don't lose a goal, it is fine, but if we lose a goal and

:09:25.:09:27.

have to change and then we changed and I thought we went toe to toe and

:09:28.:09:33.

gave a very good account of ourselves. We showed that we are a

:09:34.:09:41.

team who are confident coming here. Until 2-1 when a couple of decisions

:09:42.:09:48.

went against stores... Leigh Griffiths had an absolute

:09:49.:09:53.

blockbuster of a goal and a fitting tribute to the 13-year-old fan who

:09:54.:09:59.

died. An emphatic win. No one in Scotland can live with the attack.

:10:00.:10:03.

On that evidence, it is hard to disagree. Gower modest lead to say

:10:04.:10:07.

that. They have everything, pace. You look at Sinclair, Tom -- Tom

:10:08.:10:19.

Rogic. Griffiths is at the heart of everything. You couldn't get it in

:10:20.:10:27.

the top corner any more. He has been a drastic. His seventh goal already

:10:28.:10:33.

this morning. -- this season. -- seventh goal already. A great finish

:10:34.:10:41.

on this goal. Virtually the same as last week. He favours the outside of

:10:42.:10:46.

his foot. It is strange, but you have to take your hat off. It only

:10:47.:10:51.

takes the goalkeeper by surprise. Another player who has a resurgent

:10:52.:10:57.

under Brendan Rodgers. Any doubts over the Scott Sinclair penalty?

:10:58.:11:06.

From Aberdeen's perspective, and the manager was disappointed, when you

:11:07.:11:10.

see here it being flicked on, it is that infamous run from Sinclair,

:11:11.:11:15.

getting in between the lines of the Aberdeen defence. There is enough

:11:16.:11:20.

contact when you see the close-up. There is a coming together. When you

:11:21.:11:24.

are running at such pace, it doesn't take a lot to knock you off your

:11:25.:11:29.

stride. He did well, got in front of the player. I think it is a penalty.

:11:30.:11:35.

I can see why he has given it. I don't think it is a penalty. They

:11:36.:11:39.

have lost balance and fallen over. There wasn't great contact, and any

:11:40.:11:43.

contact was outside the box. They both fall into the box on the

:11:44.:11:47.

ground. Out of bounds for me. I don't think it is a penalty. When

:11:48.:11:51.

you run at that pace, it doesn't take a lot to knock you off your

:11:52.:11:57.

balance. That was a fair call from the referee. Craig Gordon, usually

:11:58.:12:01.

respected in Scottish football. Is his time up? Celtic's number one. It

:12:02.:12:12.

was a big call yesterday and I do feel sorry for Craig Gordon. He has

:12:13.:12:16.

made one or two high-profile mistakes, but he has also made some

:12:17.:12:22.

really big saves, as well. Yesterday, we look at Celtic's

:12:23.:12:25.

build-up play. Brendan Rodgers wants the departed from the back. There is

:12:26.:12:32.

nothing Craig can do. He doesn't do anything Craig can't do. It is

:12:33.:12:35.

simple passing. At this minute, Aberdeen didn't work them in terms

:12:36.:12:42.

of his goalkeeping. If Craig Gordon made this mistake yesterday he would

:12:43.:12:45.

have been crucified. Aberdeen should have scored. : Tory gets him out of

:12:46.:12:58.

trouble. Another slack one. If Craig Gordon made 's mistakes, the focus

:12:59.:13:02.

would be on that. Now that Brendan Rodgers had made that change, I

:13:03.:13:09.

would be astonished if he reverts back. Who will be in goal for the

:13:10.:13:17.

Rangers game? Barrister agrees. He has made his decision. Ryan Jack was

:13:18.:13:29.

missing for them. For me, the fact that Brendan Rodgers has installed a

:13:30.:13:34.

fear factor at Celtic Park. Teams going there are fearful of the front

:13:35.:13:40.

four. Was a lot to do with the players picked.

:13:41.:13:41.

Could Hearts mount a challenge at the top of the table this season?

:13:42.:13:44.

They finished third last season, they demolished

:13:45.:13:46.

This weekend they were in Glasgow to play Partick Thistle.

:13:47.:13:49.

Alasdair Lamont was at Firhill for Sportscene.

:13:50.:13:58.

COMMENTATOR: The home side are looking to get back to winning form

:13:59.:14:02.

following last weekend's defeat at Aberdeen. Outgoing suspended Sean

:14:03.:14:11.

Welsh and David Amoo also. Parts of little reason to change the team

:14:12.:14:17.

that beat beat Inverness last Saturday and Robbie Neilson fields

:14:18.:14:20.

the same starting 11 as he looks for a similar performance.

:14:21.:14:36.

He should have picked out team-mate. It looks like he was trying to find

:14:37.:14:42.

the top corner. Did so well to get past Callum Paterson. That would

:14:43.:14:47.

have been some finish if he had squeezed that into the top corner.

:14:48.:15:00.

Terrific entertainment, moving from end to end. The

:15:01.:15:07.

allowed Partick Thistle to get back and get the block in. Sam Nicholson

:15:08.:15:16.

to take the corner. 15 minutes gone at the ground. Hearts, can they find

:15:17.:15:20.

the breakthrough? Headed triumphantly. Callum Paterson

:15:21.:15:32.

just gets so far above Liam Lindsay there. Nobody could get there to

:15:33.:15:42.

stop it. A wonderful header from Callum Paterson. Robbie Neilson is

:15:43.:15:45.

keen to keep hold of Callum Paterson.

:15:46.:15:59.

The keeper knew where that one was going and was able to get across and

:16:00.:16:03.

turn it behind will Chris Dillon with a shot and again

:16:04.:16:20.

Jack Hamilton gets down well and gets plenty behind it. Again, a

:16:21.:16:28.

lovely delicate pass from Steven Lawless.

:16:29.:16:48.

Their skin is beginning to look in the mood -- Chris Erskine looking in

:16:49.:16:56.

the mood. Partick Thistle are level. It looked

:16:57.:17:08.

like Liam Lindsay's had it may well have crossed the line, but that is

:17:09.:17:14.

definitely over the line, Daniel Divine following up there. The

:17:15.:17:17.

initial header from Liam Lindsay looked across the line.

:17:18.:17:36.

Ziggy Gordon was vociferous. The assistant referee signals only for a

:17:37.:17:44.

throw in. Definitely comes off the arm. You can see why Thistle were

:17:45.:17:47.

asking the question. Good save, completed clearance by

:17:48.:17:59.

Steven Lawless. Walker shot from a tight angle,

:18:00.:18:10.

pushed away. That could have been a winner for

:18:11.:18:40.

Thistle. It's gone in! Tony Watt has won it

:18:41.:19:01.

for Hearts. In the final minute of the 90, Tony Watt's first goal for

:19:02.:19:09.

Hearts stuns the home crowd. Thomas Cerney wondering how he was heated.

:19:10.:19:16.

-- Tomas Cerny wondering how he was beaten.

:19:17.:19:22.

I thought we created a number of chances in the first. We were

:19:23.:19:26.

unlucky to go a goal down, but actually got back into a good set

:19:27.:19:30.

play. We had a lot of good opportunities. Got in good areas. A

:19:31.:19:37.

lot of possession but we couldn't break them down. We found it

:19:38.:19:41.

difficult. Eventually got through will stop we've spoken about

:19:42.:19:48.

possibly changing the shape, but I didn't want to do that. I wanted to

:19:49.:19:53.

give them opportunities to create something. A last gasp winner. Tale

:19:54.:20:01.

of two strikers for Hearts. Michael, you have had your doubts over Connor

:20:02.:20:08.

Sammon. Is that changing? You're correct, I'm not overly convinced,

:20:09.:20:11.

but if he keeps performing like you did yesterday, he is certainly going

:20:12.:20:15.

the right way. You see what he was doing yesterday is what you want and

:20:16.:20:20.

expect from a guy that is going to lead the line. Energetic, putting

:20:21.:20:23.

defenders under pressure. But not just that, linking up well. We saw

:20:24.:20:27.

it last week as well, when he linked up well with Don Cowie. Linking up

:20:28.:20:34.

well, holding it, but then making the movement and giving the guys

:20:35.:20:38.

that are supporting him options. This man, Tony Watt, I have no

:20:39.:20:42.

doubts about him. A real success for Hearts since he has joined. A good

:20:43.:20:55.

foil for Callum salmon. Height keep the pressure on. Great little turn.

:20:56.:21:01.

-- Connor Sammon. You think the goalkeeper needs to do better. That

:21:02.:21:05.

slight deflection but passive. You had Robbie talking about maybe

:21:06.:21:10.

changing the formation, changing the guys up top because they couldn't

:21:11.:21:15.

break them down. They have options. Massive options. The take-off Sam

:21:16.:21:18.

Nicholson and Connor Sammon and bring on strikers, they have

:21:19.:21:23.

options. That contributed to them winning the game. Celtic look ahead

:21:24.:21:27.

of most of the other sides in the division at this moment. That is

:21:28.:21:31.

there to say. They beat Hearts at Tynecastle at the start of the

:21:32.:21:34.

season, but how far away do you feel Hearts are. Tony Watt has got his

:21:35.:21:39.

first goal. How much of the challenge can the present this

:21:40.:21:42.

season? There was progress made last season. No doubts, finishing third

:21:43.:21:47.

in the first season, it will be hard for them to compete at the top end

:21:48.:21:54.

with Celtic, but they a team that they have expectation level to be up

:21:55.:21:59.

there challenging. A lot of interesting Callum Paterson. How

:22:00.:22:02.

important is it they hold onto them? Wigan athletic have been trying to

:22:03.:22:09.

him. He is important, no doubt. In young Liam Smith varies a

:22:10.:22:14.

replacement if he were to go. Hearts are in a comfortable position and it

:22:15.:22:17.

has to be a good feed. They are talking 700,000. You can double that

:22:18.:22:22.

to even get negotiations started. Chris Erskine looking impressive.

:22:23.:22:28.

They are creating chances, just not taking them. We watched him last

:22:29.:22:33.

weekend creating a lot of opportunities. Yesterday, Archie was

:22:34.:22:35.

talking about the front for being good. They created a lot of chances.

:22:36.:22:40.

A good opening game, but they are not turning the chances into goals.

:22:41.:22:42.

That is stopping them. Now, if you enjoyed the first

:22:43.:22:45.

installment of Scotland's Game this week, you do not want to miss

:22:46.:22:47.

episode two at 9 o'clock on Thursday By the turn-of-the-century, the

:22:48.:23:01.

beautiful game had become big business. This showdown will be

:23:02.:23:06.

watched around the globe. So how did Scottish football get it so wrong in

:23:07.:23:09.

a quest for club glory? We have entered into commercialism, made a

:23:10.:23:14.

deal with the devil. Commercially, a disaster. It was a con of the worst

:23:15.:23:20.

kind. And you can recap on the Scottish

:23:21.:23:26.

success from the Rio Olympics with Scotland at the Games -

:23:27.:23:28.

that's tomorrow on BBC1 Scotland. And you can recap on the Scottish

:23:29.:23:31.

success from the Rio Olympics with Scotland at the Games -

:23:32.:23:34.

that's tomorrow on BBC1 Scotland. Bottom of the table without a point

:23:35.:23:37.

and suddenly nothing at all ballistic about Inverness Caley

:23:38.:23:40.

Thistle. New manager Richie Foran looking

:23:41.:23:41.

to end a run of 4 straight defeats. They were at home to a St Johnstone

:23:42.:23:44.

side looking to bounce back Three changes to the team from last

:23:45.:24:26.

week. Murray Davidson drop tabs to make way for Chris Kane. Those of

:24:27.:24:30.

the two changes from the team beaten by Celtic.

:24:31.:24:42.

Ross Draper was not picked up and that was a chance. That came off the

:24:43.:24:54.

head of Anderson. Bursting onto the loose ball was Draper.

:24:55.:25:03.

Big opportunity, this, for Saint Johnstone. Put off by those bodies

:25:04.:25:33.

diving in front of them. Are really dangerous ball across

:25:34.:25:57.

goal. Liam Polworth was entitled to be thinking that someone should have

:25:58.:26:00.

tried a bit harder to get on the end of it.

:26:01.:26:13.

Alex Fisher Mr big opportunity there. Ian Varga is pulling the

:26:14.:26:45.

strings. Smart goalkeeping from Alan Mannus.

:26:46.:27:05.

Very quickly off his line here when he sensed the danger. Inverness are

:27:06.:27:13.

the only team so far pointless in the premiership. Nearly one hour

:27:14.:27:16.

gone, still goalless. That is the breakthrough. Lots of

:27:17.:27:33.

pace on the delivery and Draper showing real desire to get on the

:27:34.:27:34.

end of it. Murray Davidson had the opportunity.

:27:35.:27:53.

Off the bench to make an impact for the Perth team. Should have hit the

:27:54.:27:54.

target. What a sweet strike! The equaliser

:27:55.:28:20.

for Saint Johnstone and it is a foster's first goal for his new

:28:21.:28:25.

team. He might never strike a better one. 1-1. Little bit happier now,

:28:26.:28:30.

Tommy Wright. Inverness try to edge themselves in

:28:31.:28:47.

front again, another great save from Alan Mannus. Draper is having a big

:28:48.:28:55.

say in this match. It was always going to be difficult

:28:56.:29:10.

here for the substitute, Bowden, to squeeze that at such a tight angle.

:29:11.:29:23.

-- Boden. Josh Meekings has scored in stoppage time, right at the end

:29:24.:29:27.

of the match. Not the prettiest goal you will ever see, but Inverness

:29:28.:29:33.

Caledonian Thistle have their first premiership points of the season and

:29:34.:29:41.

they have got all three. The longer it goes without a point on the table

:29:42.:29:46.

the players might get nervy, supporters get nervy. It is great to

:29:47.:29:50.

get three points. It was been a massive four us, I am delighted,

:29:51.:29:54.

looking forward to heading off to Aberdeen in a couple of weeks.

:29:55.:29:58.

Disappointing. We could try to let Inverness back into it after we got

:29:59.:30:05.

back to one each. But then for the last four minutes, five minutes, we

:30:06.:30:09.

let them back in the game. A massive victory for Inverness

:30:10.:30:20.

Caley Thistle and it looked like the players were rallying. They had to

:30:21.:30:26.

show a reaction after last week's performance and I think there were

:30:27.:30:29.

rumours there was an meeting with the players this week, without the

:30:30.:30:34.

manager, the senior players working out what is going wrong but it

:30:35.:30:40.

seemed to work. The desire and the spirit of the team were back and I

:30:41.:30:44.

think that is what the result was built on. They also had Alex Fisher

:30:45.:30:51.

upfront. He put in a real shift upfront. He is a big boy at six foot

:30:52.:31:00.

three and a good target man to have and he was impressive yesterday and

:31:01.:31:05.

does well to cut inside and put a shot over the bar but he held the

:31:06.:31:13.

line well, and this was emblematic of Inverness's performance, winning

:31:14.:31:19.

tackles, looking hungry to show a reaction from Hope they have been

:31:20.:31:26.

and Alex Fisher stood out. If you're talking about players not performing

:31:27.:31:31.

and wanting to get back to basics, this highlights it perfectly,

:31:32.:31:37.

charging about. I'm not sure Tom has ever charged about as much as that.

:31:38.:31:44.

He probably runs the same distance, some managers tell you not to run

:31:45.:31:49.

about like a headless chicken but he is being affected, it forces St

:31:50.:31:53.

Johnstone back but where are your team-mates to support you? That clip

:31:54.:32:00.

did epitomise what that game was about and you heard Richie Foran

:32:01.:32:05.

talking about it, it was more about the energy than the style, you could

:32:06.:32:10.

argue that was wasting your energy but that was so much running he was

:32:11.:32:14.

doing that it almost embarrassed the team into following suit. So it was

:32:15.:32:22.

good? In a perverse way. But you wouldn't have done that. As for St

:32:23.:32:27.

Johnstone, Tommy Wright disappointed. Lessons were not

:32:28.:32:34.

learnt from the first set. The first one was a fantastic ball from Tansey

:32:35.:32:39.

but they don't deal with the second one from Draper. There are two

:32:40.:32:45.

defeats after what was a bright start to the season.

:32:46.:32:46.

With three wins from their last four games, Ross County were motoring

:32:47.:32:49.

along pretty well as they motored down the A9 for their match

:32:50.:32:52.

A mixed start to the season for Accies, who could be higher

:32:53.:32:56.

up the table, according to player-manager Martin Canning.

:32:57.:33:06.

Ali Crawford twits away and scores. Kilmarnock have turned right around

:33:07.:33:17.

here. What a strike that his. Aberdeen back level. We should be

:33:18.:33:24.

seven points and we are sitting on to. Hamilton without Ali Crawford,

:33:25.:33:31.

who received a concussion during training on Friday, Ross County have

:33:32.:33:41.

come looking for in their fifth successive league win against the

:33:42.:33:55.

Accies. Mark Woods with a corner. Davies, it's a decent header off the

:33:56.:34:04.

bar, flicked away by Dublin. Franks, come across the goalkeeper, he

:34:05.:34:08.

allowed it to bounce. Remi Matthews knew what he was doing. A powerful

:34:09.:34:17.

header from Andrew Davies. Woods, backend side, battling for it.

:34:18.:34:28.

Massimo Donati, play on says the referee. It is set up nicely for a

:34:29.:34:37.

Dougie Imrie. A great pass from Darian MacKinnon. Could start to the

:34:38.:34:44.

season for us County. It didn't take it cleanly. That is a

:34:45.:35:10.

good effort from Accies, they are breaking well. Accies with just one

:35:11.:35:27.

win in ten home games. McKinnon makes the run. Just couldn't put it

:35:28.:35:37.

on target. Nice passing play again from Accies, Imrie at the heart of

:35:38.:35:50.

it. Still awaiting the breakthrough. Danny Redmond is in. Didn't see the

:35:51.:36:01.

subject. -- substitute. The fact it was so high in the air, almost

:36:02.:36:04.

perfectly laid on for Redmond. Brophy looks across, let the chips.

:36:05.:36:22.

The referee says it is a corner. Credit to the goalkeeper. It is good

:36:23.:36:29.

from Fox, he had started to celebrate. That is a great ball

:36:30.:36:38.

across. Matthews with the save. A great chance there for County.

:36:39.:36:53.

Could be a chance, it is! Dougie Imrie, his first league goal since

:36:54.:37:01.

he scored against Ross County in February. Brophy has made a

:37:02.:37:09.

difference, both left and right since he came on, and the ball held

:37:10.:37:15.

up on the Astroturf, a clever finish from Dougie Imrie. Hamilton Accies

:37:16.:37:26.

ahead. The header, great save from Matthews. Off the bench for the

:37:27.:37:36.

fourth time this season, he has played well. Might be in the

:37:37.:37:45.

starting XI soon. Ross County repelled once more. Redmond on to

:37:46.:37:54.

Brophy, Brophy accelerates. It's short. Providing good pace and again

:37:55.:38:08.

afraid to give him a dig. Ross County may win three straight league

:38:09.:38:13.

games, something they didn't do last season. Hamilton almost gave the

:38:14.:38:21.

visitors an equaliser. You pray it goes wide and your prayers were

:38:22.:38:28.

answered. If our performance levels continue to be at that level I have

:38:29.:38:31.

no doubt we will start winning games, if we continue to work in

:38:32.:38:40.

that matter. They scored, the keeper has made a great save and we don't

:38:41.:38:47.

deal with it, we have a chance, we make the wrong decision and Hamilton

:38:48.:38:50.

punished us. So I can use will. He will be

:38:51.:39:07.

disappointed with the performance but happy about the league knowledge

:39:08.:39:14.

we have had that they have not gone on to pick up points, so you see how

:39:15.:39:21.

important the midfield three of Donati, Doherty and McKinnon, who

:39:22.:39:27.

walked all over the midfield and over the team of Ross County,

:39:28.:39:32.

filling in gaps and when you look at the fact that going to that part is

:39:33.:39:39.

not the easiest, you heard Jim McIntire saying the team didn't get

:39:40.:39:44.

up to the speed of things quickly enough, and when you face a team

:39:45.:39:49.

that her up and battered, not giving you a chance to think, that is why

:39:50.:39:54.

Hamilton have picked up the three points yesterday and those midfield

:39:55.:40:01.

three or central to that result. I don't know about you but that is not

:40:02.:40:08.

the easiest place to go. And when you have those guys up and add to it

:40:09.:40:13.

is difficult. Ross County struggled to get to grips with that game. They

:40:14.:40:20.

had a decent start to the season but last season it wasn't all there.

:40:21.:40:24.

They won't want that to creep in this season. Last season they

:40:25.:40:30.

finished top sex so they were had a successful season. After two wins in

:40:31.:40:35.

a row, they were scoring goals, looking between. You expect voice to

:40:36.:40:43.

score every week. The performance level wasn't there, they looked

:40:44.:40:49.

lacklustre, it wasn't a Ross County performance and I think Jim will be

:40:50.:40:51.

disappointed. Next up for the champions,

:40:52.:40:52.

the clash with Rangers Mark Warburton's side began

:40:53.:40:55.

the weekend top of the table, and they kicked things off on Friday

:40:56.:40:59.

night away to a Kilmarnock team with Lee Clark has made six changes to

:41:00.:41:14.

his Kilmarnock side from last week. Jonathan Byrne returned to central

:41:15.:41:25.

defence. Danny Wilson was injured in the warm up, so Hill has been given

:41:26.:41:37.

the call-up. Here is Barton. Finding Lee Willis in behind the full-back.

:41:38.:41:43.

Tried to lob that one in. Jamie MacDonald took it cleanly. There was

:41:44.:41:51.

a collision there. Rangers fans had the first chance to see Joe Garner,

:41:52.:41:59.

a new signing on the bench. That was driven in by Frizzell and it looked

:42:00.:42:09.

to come off the arm. Kevan Clancy has ignored appeals for a penalty.

:42:10.:42:16.

Kiltie chipping it in, looking for board. Here is Gary Decker! An

:42:17.:42:26.

impressive start by the home team. The midfielder going close but this

:42:27.:42:32.

was the incident that Dodo seem to injure himself as he felt and he

:42:33.:42:36.

will take no further part in the game. That means the new signing,

:42:37.:42:44.

gardener, will come in to take the applause of Rangers supporters.

:42:45.:42:54.

Chris Boyd, usually so lethal from that distance, he just didn't get a

:42:55.:42:59.

proper connection there to turn it beyond Foderingham.

:43:00.:43:09.

Forrester with a corner. In goes gardener. -- Joe Garner. As he tried

:43:10.:43:20.

to swing that effort in, Barton was also grounded by Gary Decker. It

:43:21.:43:27.

looks like a bit of rustling in the penalty spot. Barrie McKay I trying

:43:28.:43:33.

to thread it through, good interception by Byrne. The route for

:43:34.:43:40.

Chris Boyd, and Kilmarnock are in front. It is a former Rangers

:43:41.:43:46.

striker delivering for his present club. We have seen him do this so

:43:47.:43:53.

often onside and he drilled it beyond Foderingham. Excellent finish

:43:54.:44:04.

and Kilmarnock are 1-0 to the good. His 101st goal for the club. Nice

:44:05.:44:17.

little flick by Tavernier. James Tarver near, always adventurous

:44:18.:44:30.

coming forward but he couldn't provide the finish. It is turned

:44:31.:44:39.

well away from Boyle, Joe Garner again, no penalty, says the referee.

:44:40.:44:46.

It looks like Joe Garner made the most of that one. Tavernier, away by

:44:47.:44:57.

Smith. A challenge there from Hop Shaw, sliding in on McKay. He claims

:44:58.:45:04.

he got the ball. This is James Tarver near's range. What a strike

:45:05.:45:11.

that is from the Rangers full-back. His second goal of the season. Jamie

:45:12.:45:18.

MacDonald tried to get across, he got our hands to it but couldn't

:45:19.:45:22.

keep it out. An outstanding effort from Tavernier and Rangers are back

:45:23.:45:36.

on level terms. Charging forward, it's Frizzell, a lunging challenge

:45:37.:45:44.

from Greg Taylor and a red card. It was a wild tackle from the

:45:45.:45:51.

Kilmarnock teenager on Joey Barton. He caught with the studs on the

:45:52.:45:59.

shin. Very dangerous. Will it be Halliday with the free or Tavernier?

:46:00.:46:05.

It is Tavernier again. An outstanding save eight Jamie

:46:06.:46:16.

McMahon, up to the task this time. McCague trying to get beyond Hendry.

:46:17.:46:22.

Touch the wave I Jamie MacDonald. Fine goalkeeping again by the

:46:23.:46:35.

Kilmarnock number one. I thought we were excellent, when you get down to

:46:36.:46:40.

a team like Rangers, we have only been pegged back by a world-class

:46:41.:46:46.

free kick so I thought we were real value at half-time and I thought the

:46:47.:46:52.

performance was very good. A good point for Kilmarnock, terrible

:46:53.:46:57.

tackle on Joe we Barton, questions still remain over this Rangers side.

:46:58.:47:03.

New additions that our Rangers better than last season? I think

:47:04.:47:09.

they have that players and more options but the chemistry is wrong.

:47:10.:47:15.

The balance last year was better and I think last year's was a better

:47:16.:47:21.

team. Does that mean they? Over their recruitment? There have been

:47:22.:47:28.

better players acquired but that balance has not even sorted so only

:47:29.:47:34.

balance will tell if recruitment has been a success or not. When they

:47:35.:47:40.

have spent so much money on Joe Garner upfront, with that's not have

:47:41.:47:45.

been better Orna Young centre-half with pace. When Mike Warburton went

:47:46.:47:51.

into the club he was quick to get rid of Garin McGregor, a fast

:47:52.:47:59.

athletic defender, this is something I spoke about last, full-backs

:48:00.:48:04.

attacking the ball, a centre-half has to deal with that. This is how

:48:05.:48:11.

it should be, Rob Kidd gets dropped due to the ball, Tavernier is in no

:48:12.:48:18.

man's land and Kris Boyd should have scored. You can see he was furious

:48:19.:48:25.

and Kiltie here runs past Joey Barton as if he's not here, the

:48:26.:48:31.

timing of this run is textbook, finishing for his 250th goal but his

:48:32.:48:37.

biggest concern me is Chris Boyd running away from your centre

:48:38.:48:44.

halves. You could imagine Kiltie driving past midfield, it could be a

:48:45.:48:49.

Forest or a Sinclair and that is what he lives off, that space in

:48:50.:48:54.

behind and these are the things Rangers will have to combat and

:48:55.:48:59.

limit those chances for Celtic. That is the big question, the match with

:49:00.:49:08.

Celtic a week on Saturday. It is still send us the answer? I'm not

:49:09.:49:17.

convinced he is, you look at those small individual things that if they

:49:18.:49:20.

get nailed down in training that would help but I'm not sure that is

:49:21.:49:25.

of utmost importance to Rangers. How do you see the match with Celtic to

:49:26.:49:34.

win? All eyes will turn to the game. I'm unconvinced by Rangers this

:49:35.:49:37.

season. In fits and starts they have played well but they have not

:49:38.:49:43.

dominated. Celtic have dominated every game and have looked so

:49:44.:49:48.

convincing in forward areas and Rangers do not look great

:49:49.:49:52.

defensively. We have to give credit to Kilmarnock, for a large parts of

:49:53.:49:59.

the match they controlled it, a part that Mark Warburton referred to as

:50:00.:50:03.

the worst Rangers performance in his reign. You have to attribute that to

:50:04.:50:08.

that Kilmarnock's performance was top drawer but they have to carry

:50:09.:50:13.

that into other games because their season will be defined by the games

:50:14.:50:19.

against teams around them at the bottom of the table.

:50:20.:50:21.

It had been three straight defeats for Motherwell as they prepared

:50:22.:50:23.

Two of the defeats had come to Celtic and Rangers.

:50:24.:50:27.

Dundee still looking for that magic formula up front.

:50:28.:50:29.

Mark McGhee opts for the same line-up that suffered a dramatic

:50:30.:50:45.

defeat at Ibrox. The Ford line-up will again provide the threat. Three

:50:46.:50:53.

changes following defeat to Hamilton Academical. Charmers, to Scott

:50:54.:50:58.

McDonald. Johnson's header, charmers has

:50:59.:51:13.

continued forward but he couldn't hit the target. It was an awkward

:51:14.:51:20.

effort from the left-back and it drifted over the top.

:51:21.:51:27.

It's the long ball, looking for the pace of Faissal El Bakhtaoui. He

:51:28.:51:38.

gets the shot away, and an important block. Although look at Michael

:51:39.:51:46.

Duffy on the penalty spot, and Paul Hartley knows that was the better

:51:47.:51:51.

option for Faissal El Bakhtaoui. Now MacDonald, faced by Gomis, the new

:51:52.:51:57.

boy for Dundee, and he steps inside to the top corner, just inches too

:51:58.:52:06.

high. Opened the scoring against Rangers a week ago, almost doing the

:52:07.:52:14.

same here. Dropped back from taped to Hannigan and it's a fine ball

:52:15.:52:21.

over the top, looking for Chris Cadden, whose square ball was trying

:52:22.:52:27.

to pick out MacDonald. MacDonald's run was well trust, you just wonder

:52:28.:52:33.

if Chris Cadden could have taken a shot on there.

:52:34.:52:40.

Play on, says the referee, it comes to MacDonald, punched away but it

:52:41.:52:50.

drops at the feet of Marvin Johnson. Kevin Holt did enough to block the

:52:51.:52:58.

shot. He enjoys that position, just dropping deep off the front line. It

:52:59.:53:08.

is one back by Dundee and now Duffy from range. Michael Duffy, the

:53:09.:53:17.

Northern Irishman, on loan from salsa, looking for his first

:53:18.:53:23.

Premiership goal. -- from salsa -- Celtic. Breaks away from Faissal El

:53:24.:53:35.

Bakhtaoui. Head down now, comes up to survey his options. Faissal El

:53:36.:53:43.

Bakhtaoui took it nicely and fires in the effort. He did well to

:53:44.:53:51.

fashion the opportunity. But it was straight at Samson. There hasn't

:53:52.:53:58.

been a nil- nil draw in this fixture for 30 years but that is how it

:53:59.:54:03.

seems to be having. Here's MacDonald. Now aims worse trying to

:54:04.:54:12.

curl one towards the far corner. -- Lionel Innsworth. Scott Bain was

:54:13.:54:21.

equal to the effort. Paul Hartley will be pleased with the way his

:54:22.:54:27.

side have defended. They had gone nine games without a clean sheet, it

:54:28.:54:31.

is looking good for them and could be even better for them if Faissal

:54:32.:54:37.

El Bakhtaoui can pick out the corner of the net. Lloyd was asking for the

:54:38.:54:42.

pass, Faissal El Bakhtaoui took the shot. It comes off Andrew Dallas,

:54:43.:54:55.

the referee. Johnson, as Motherwell looked to find the winner that would

:54:56.:55:01.

deliver the three points. Clay, back to Johnson, it's well worked but the

:55:02.:55:08.

ball got caught under his feet a little and he couldn't find the

:55:09.:55:11.

power in the shot to beat Scott Bain.

:55:12.:55:19.

Satisfied, I think it was important we didn't lose going into this

:55:20.:55:25.

break, spent a whole week being distracted. We can relax a little

:55:26.:55:34.

bit, we have Stevie Hamill back, so we will come back hopefully in

:55:35.:55:37.

better fettle than the last few weeks. I was pleased, especially

:55:38.:55:43.

second half we were more on the front foot, a little bit wasteful in

:55:44.:55:48.

the past and I'm happy with the second half, I thought the players

:55:49.:55:51.

were No goals yet for Faissal El

:55:52.:56:03.

Bakhtaoui but I'm sure they will come at some point. Kevin Gomis, a

:56:04.:56:13.

big impressive defender, spent a lot of time with Nice. He obviously

:56:14.:56:27.

likes a tackle, as we saw here. No-nonsense defending and this is

:56:28.:56:33.

the most impressive, getting into that front post were all good

:56:34.:56:36.

defenders do and clearing the danger. We mention it last week, the

:56:37.:56:43.

draw syndrome, last week Paul Hartley was annoyed because they

:56:44.:56:48.

ended up in the box. That is what cost them, these are back-to-back

:56:49.:56:55.

draws, last time they had 15 draws and if you turn three of those into

:56:56.:57:00.

wins... They will not to make sure that doesn't happen this year

:57:01.:57:05.

because that is a big thing for Dundee to strive towards. Tricky

:57:06.:57:11.

going against Motherwell side full of quality. One player who has Sean

:57:12.:57:17.

for them in recent times is Chris Cadden and Mark McGhee said he was

:57:18.:57:22.

disappointed that he wasn't in the Scotland U21 squad. I can understand

:57:23.:57:30.

a club manager being disappointed not to have a player in the national

:57:31.:57:34.

squad, but Mark McGhee has to be careful because there is a dual role

:57:35.:57:40.

there and the manager needs to pick the team as he sees fit under Mark

:57:41.:57:47.

McGhee had a problem he should have spoken to Ricky privately, which I

:57:48.:57:52.

would be amazed if he hadn't come to them come out publicly and say

:57:53.:57:55.

something that he should take a step back and not mention it. Thank you

both for your contributions tonight. Tonight the Ladbrokes Premiership
