:00:07. > :00:18.This could be something quite sensational. It is outstanding. An
:00:19. > :00:44.absolute beauty. Oh, yes! Right here, right now this is
:00:45. > :00:48.history. After the Scottish cup excitement the Ladbrokes premiership
:00:49. > :00:54.is back. Lots of great play, great goals and the odd red card. Scott
:00:55. > :01:04.Macdonald might have a few of that along with Stephen Thompson. The
:01:05. > :01:14.current Celtic signed he called... Watching at Celtic Park photos.
:01:15. > :01:22.Problems up Rodber Celtic. Two plays it is out from knee and calf
:01:23. > :01:31.injuries. Armstrong is replaced by Callum MacGregor as Celtic look to
:01:32. > :01:39.become record breakers. New signing has a five strain. -- acai strain.
:01:40. > :01:40.has a five strain. -- a ai strain. Hearts have only two away wins in
:01:41. > :02:14.the premiership so far. I look at the officials, Bjorn
:02:15. > :02:17.Johnsen. Here come Celtic. Options, one of them is Callum MacGregor.
:02:18. > :02:28.CHEERING . He wasn't meant to be starting
:02:29. > :02:33.today. But he is pushing Celtic ever closer to that record. Colour
:02:34. > :02:41.MacGregor's third goal of the season. A smart counter attacking
:02:42. > :02:48.move by this side. Lovely first touch by McGregor. The second was in
:02:49. > :02:56.the. Celtic league again. -- lead again. Coming just after this when
:02:57. > :03:06.Bjorn Johnsen was challenged. The other player did dive in on that
:03:07. > :03:19.tackle. Full. Billy McNeill, the legendary former Celtic skipper who
:03:20. > :03:26.hoisted a cup in 1967. Not the west the livery, either. It is heading
:03:27. > :03:31.just over the bar. -- not the worst delivery either. Celtic have
:03:32. > :03:32.dominated this first half. Close to a leveller just before the half-time
:03:33. > :03:48.whistle. James Forrest get a break of the
:03:49. > :03:56.ball. In the number two. A fabulous recovery by Liam Smith. Two mythic
:03:57. > :04:07.defending. You put your mortgage in James Forrest making it to them. --
:04:08. > :04:12.two mythic defending. -- wonderful defending. The shout box and ball.
:04:13. > :04:20.The manager has his arm stretched as well. It is difficult but anything
:04:21. > :04:22.to be done about that. The Celtic supporters are celebrating the
:04:23. > :04:33.greatest moment in their club's history. Can he make it happen the
:04:34. > :04:39.Herts? This was saved by Craig Gordon. Isa Penny make it happen the
:04:40. > :04:44.Hearts? This is a big opportunity for Hearts.
:04:45. > :04:53.Better to go to the top right corner. That is a big opportunity
:04:54. > :05:01.for Hearts. They might not get another. Celtic are looking to make
:05:02. > :05:09.them pay. Here is Kieran Tierney. He has cut it across. And Scott
:05:10. > :05:15.Sinclair cannot make it to. -- cannot make a two. That would have
:05:16. > :05:25.been just like Celtic, let off on one end and sport up the other end.
:05:26. > :05:35.That doesn't stay up the second time of asking, Scott Sinclair wraps up
:05:36. > :05:42.the points that Celtic, surely. Scott Sinclair's 14 of the season
:05:43. > :05:48.will surely down Hearts. Great boiling by Kieran Tierney. Jack
:05:49. > :06:07.Hamilton with a saving from his own man. He was alive to the situation.
:06:08. > :06:24.Robert's lovely flick. Here is Kieran Tierney again. It is three
:06:25. > :06:30.and easy for the record breakers. Brendan Rodgers' Celtic will move
:06:31. > :06:37.ahead of the club's greatest ever side in an unbeaten start to this
:06:38. > :06:47.domestic season. It will move now on 227 games. Nobody can get the better
:06:48. > :06:52.of them in Scottish bubble. -- in Scottish football. Scott Sinclair
:06:53. > :06:58.has Henderson to his right. Celtic are looking for the fourth here but
:06:59. > :07:03.it is blocked. This doesn't look good. Hearts can only hope that this
:07:04. > :07:09.won't be long-term, but it does not look good and they have used all
:07:10. > :07:13.their subs. Four minutes of injury time is about to start and here come
:07:14. > :07:27.Celtic, McGregor who got them under way. Celtic have a penalty. He went
:07:28. > :07:32.in on the challenge. And Hearts' afternoon is going from bad to
:07:33. > :07:37.worse. Scott Sinclair has a chance to round things off. A chance to ice
:07:38. > :07:43.the cake. Which he truly does! CHEERING
:07:44. > :07:50.Was it ever really in any doubt? It is party time the Celtic. They will
:07:51. > :07:52.have to wait a while longer before they are crowned champions yet
:07:53. > :08:06.again, but this will do for now. 202 days on from the shop, they have
:08:07. > :08:13.opened the Rodgers' in there. He history has been made, their 17th
:08:14. > :08:22.league win on the bounce. Moves them ahead of the greatest team Celtic
:08:23. > :08:27.produced. It finishes Celtic for, Hearts zero. They before they well.
:08:28. > :08:32.They deserve the result today. Of course it takes them out on their
:08:33. > :08:36.own in terms of domestic league with an unbeaten record. A huge
:08:37. > :08:41.achievement. If you think of the great history of Celtic, they do
:08:42. > :08:46.have a big history over hundred and 29 years to be the team that goes
:08:47. > :08:50.out on its own. The blaze can be hugely proud. We were OK in the game
:08:51. > :08:55.and improved second half. Asthma with the players can be hugely
:08:56. > :09:01.proud. We had some good possession. We had a bit of control. We had a
:09:02. > :09:05.moment. In these games and in the stadiums with good teams you have to
:09:06. > :09:10.step up and live in that moment. We didn't do that today and we suffered
:09:11. > :09:18.some consequences from that. And so Brendan Rodgers' Celtic signed break
:09:19. > :09:23.that Lisbon Lions record. Huge congratulations but then 27 domestic
:09:24. > :09:30.matches an break him. It has been a nominal them said Bart these other
:09:31. > :09:36.statistics. -- it is been a fantastic season for them so far,
:09:37. > :09:41.here are the statistics... Can this Celtic side go unbeaten all season?
:09:42. > :09:48.Abramoff Mott called beat. I was asked in November and wasn't sure.
:09:49. > :09:57.In February and wondering who is keen to stop them. They had seven
:09:58. > :10:01.players that would normally start. They didn't go and beat one of the
:10:02. > :10:07.better teams in the league, bought - zero. I didn't see it happening,
:10:08. > :10:10.anyone stopping them. Can anybody in Scotland? It would take a big
:10:11. > :10:19.performance and on the day a couple of decisions to go you are way. --
:10:20. > :10:25.to go your way. To make seven changes and still win shows the
:10:26. > :10:33.depth of the squad. They had to bring game Callum McGregor, and he
:10:34. > :10:38.scored. He had McGregor. He travelled the length of the pitch,
:10:39. > :10:49.but the Hearts player didn't track the run. Sinclair does the rest,
:10:50. > :10:56.wide area. The player doesn't make the ball go wide, and McGregor goes
:10:57. > :10:59.to an scores. Sinclair started as an emergency centre forward but they
:11:00. > :11:03.moved him out the left and that was the difference. He performed well
:11:04. > :11:10.from there. That is an excellent passing and a good finish as well
:11:11. > :11:18.from McGregor. A question, if one player is valued at 30 million, how
:11:19. > :11:25.much is Kieran Tierney Web? Just as much. He is the best young player in
:11:26. > :11:28.Scotland, possibly in decades, that is not an understatement. A
:11:29. > :11:35.fantastic ball, he should have scored. Here is the any making that
:11:36. > :11:41.one down the left-hand side. An unbelievable ball across the face,
:11:42. > :11:48.causing panic. He should play this with his right rather than his left.
:11:49. > :11:54.Well done Sinclair. Almost a carbon copy, not sure about the field back.
:11:55. > :11:59.He is just such an outstanding talent, I don't see him having any
:12:00. > :12:03.weaknesses. We have seen these attacking clips, but defensively is
:12:04. > :12:08.very good. He pounds his challengers really well. He has impressed me
:12:09. > :12:15.this season. -- he timed his challengers. We don't want away, he
:12:16. > :12:18.seems committed to Celtic. He is living the dream, he Celtic through
:12:19. > :12:23.and through. He celebrates every single goal and he enjoys it. He's a
:12:24. > :12:31.dream that the club and the fans. They love their money gets bums on
:12:32. > :12:35.seats. Badly for Hearts. How did you rate that overall hearts
:12:36. > :12:43.performance? Average at best. But Ian Cathro, four points from 18
:12:44. > :12:47.available which makes Wednesday night even bigger, they play Rangers
:12:48. > :12:52.and that becomes a massive game for Hearts. Did you learn anything today
:12:53. > :12:57.about Hearts that you didn't know already? Not particularly, it is
:12:58. > :13:02.told to go to Celtic Park. Especially this year, Celtic being
:13:03. > :13:05.on the unbeaten run that they are. The first half was disappointing,
:13:06. > :13:10.there was nothing in the game then Celtic went ahead. I think Martin
:13:11. > :13:14.had a great chance to make it 1-1, and you never know, but Celtic are
:13:15. > :13:20.that strong that when they go up the event it is game over. Celtic Manor
:13:21. > :13:26.is clear at the top. He is Aberdeen with the chance to go second if they
:13:27. > :13:32.can see Dundee. They are looking for ever ten to form after crashing out
:13:33. > :13:39.of Scottish court. -- the Scottish cup. Common green and an changed
:13:40. > :14:09.Aberdeen sign. Neatly into the path. He was gone
:14:10. > :14:16.for the shot. It is dumped clear by Mark Reynolds.
:14:17. > :14:29.McGinn's corner. That is way off the line. Great control here by Mark
:14:30. > :14:40.Reynolds. Steadying himself. Aberdeen continued to press. Logan
:14:41. > :14:47.makes the run. That is a great ball. Doesn't get a touch. Ryan Jack, will
:14:48. > :15:03.be happy to try and shepherd this away. Shinnie. Great play, nobody
:15:04. > :15:15.got a touch. Aberdeen are still pushing haze. McGinn scoring
:15:16. > :15:19.himself. Adam Rooney withdrew his head, realised he wasn't getting
:15:20. > :15:32.there and it's nearly snuck in. Good goalkeeping. McGinn is the obvious
:15:33. > :15:38.threat. Exactly to be expected. The Dundee goalkeeper was certainly
:15:39. > :15:48.dropping in. McGinn and Hayes, it is hazy swings it in that time. -- it
:15:49. > :15:54.is hazy swings it in that time. McGinn taking on Russ he's going to
:15:55. > :16:03.drag it back again. Lovely ball. Aberdeen make the breakthrough at
:16:04. > :16:08.the 20 mine -- after 29 minutes. And it is Ryan Jack, his first goal in
:16:09. > :16:24.over 23 months. Great cross over and Ryan Jack. He sends it long. That is
:16:25. > :16:34.beautifully through. A brilliant first touch. That second put is on
:16:35. > :16:42.target and brilliant from Rooney. The first touch killed it. Shot away
:16:43. > :16:54.with the second. Centre long. That is brilliant, again. That is
:16:55. > :17:03.brilliant from Niall McGinn. That is a wonderful strike. Scott Bain had
:17:04. > :17:11.no chance. Goal of the season. Don't be caught again. Chance for Maclean.
:17:12. > :17:18.A quick throw from Rooney and no wonder Scott Bain is frustrated.
:17:19. > :17:29.Simply in behind the full-back and Bain to the rescue again. McGinn and
:17:30. > :17:35.Hayes, twin tormentors this evening. That comes back onto Shinnie. It
:17:36. > :17:41.came back very quickly. Don't be again have their goalkeeper to
:17:42. > :17:51.thank. -- Dundee again have their goalkeeper to thank. Beat it with
:17:52. > :18:00.the thought that time. A better finish was deserved. That is a
:18:01. > :18:15.lovely little ball forward. Hayes looks across. 3-0 Aberdeen. It is a
:18:16. > :18:21.doesn't of the season, now. The tormentors have done Aberdeen's
:18:22. > :18:25.said. Aberdeen are on course for their biggest win against Dundee for
:18:26. > :18:30.more than a decade. The ball was over the top, brilliantly timed, the
:18:31. > :18:37.power was in the cross. 3-0 Aberdeen. Once we made the
:18:38. > :18:40.breakthrough I thought we brought some real quality and I didn't think
:18:41. > :18:47.that we looked anything other than that we were going to win the game.
:18:48. > :18:51.We can't do the basics properly, the third goal sums it up. The ball
:18:52. > :18:55.comes into the box and is nobly within five yards. The make, we have
:18:56. > :19:01.to try make it as difficult as possible. We didn't do that. It's
:19:02. > :19:07.not so much the contract offer, it is maybe weighing up what he wants
:19:08. > :19:11.to do next. Whether we want to stay for a bit longer and we hope that if
:19:12. > :19:17.the case, whether we want to trace of ink did then and he is within his
:19:18. > :19:22.rights and we respect that. A win would put Aberdeen up to second on
:19:23. > :19:26.Friday night. The transfer window slammed shut on Tuesday night. How
:19:27. > :19:36.vital is it that Aberdeen that they keep hold of Niall McGinn? I think
:19:37. > :19:42.him and Niall McGinn. -- I think him and Hayes. As we see Niall McGinn
:19:43. > :19:46.gets it and he is really strong out and these wide areas. The defender
:19:47. > :19:56.doesn't show him down the line Anier 's bags of pace. -- and he has bikes
:19:57. > :20:02.of pace. Ryan Jax had a fantastic header. Yes seven goals in eight
:20:03. > :20:07.games. He has fantastic form. -- Ryan Jack had a fantastic header. It
:20:08. > :20:14.looks like he's doing to beat his record from last year. What a
:20:15. > :20:20.delivery, he has pace he frightens defenders and he scores goals. A
:20:21. > :20:25.really nice cushioned header. He was outstanding on Friday night about
:20:26. > :20:29.five wins on the bounce but Aberdeen. They have real momentum
:20:30. > :20:34.will stop going into Wednesday's night at Celtic Park they have
:20:35. > :20:44.formed. Briefly, they brought in Ryan Christie, as well. He is going
:20:45. > :20:47.back to is tried and trusted team. And it is working so although Ryan
:20:48. > :20:54.Christie has been brought in, I wouldn't be attempted Rhyl tempted
:20:55. > :20:59.to throw in because the team gel in. They are looking to inspiration,
:21:00. > :21:10.they almost had it with this player. -- I would be tempted to throw them
:21:11. > :21:15.in. Dundee get the tales of and have something to defend. It wasn't the
:21:16. > :21:25.case but fantastic effort all the same. Such a fantastic. ... They
:21:26. > :21:28.haven't come out of this winter break well, it wasn't a surprise
:21:29. > :21:34.because they haven't beating Dundee in the league since 2004. A great
:21:35. > :21:37.win for Aberdeen. Good ranges reclaim second spot on the Saturday
:21:38. > :21:47.lunchtime match with Motherwell. The second time in a week they have met.
:21:48. > :21:51.Kenny Miller with the goals. Common green Scott Macdonald comes into the
:21:52. > :21:56.starting 11 but apart from that it was the team that lost at Ibrox.
:21:57. > :22:04.Three times they feel they should have taken some think there is a
:22:05. > :22:11.first start for American International he
:22:12. > :22:38.That is as Halloran, will -- that Isabel Halloran with a terrible
:22:39. > :22:48.looking challenge. The man who was linked with alone to Motherwell has
:22:49. > :22:54.deservedly in ordered off here for that challenge. Motherwell take a
:22:55. > :23:05.lot of motivation and inspiration from that. There is another very
:23:06. > :23:17.poor challenge, this time by Rob Canin. He is shown a yellow for that
:23:18. > :23:30.one. 15 years since Motherwell last beat Rangers in the league. That is
:23:31. > :23:42.a wonderful ball in and McDonald should have put Motherwell in front.
:23:43. > :23:51.What an opportunity that is. Ranges are enjoying a better little spell
:23:52. > :24:00.here. Here is McDonald who was left out of the starting of the Scottish
:24:01. > :24:08.cup. McDonald is off as well. It is ten against ten. Scott has McDonald,
:24:09. > :24:15.a poor torch that made his mind up to go in with a lunge. -- a poor
:24:16. > :24:22.touch. Rangers were beginning to come into the game just before
:24:23. > :24:29.McDonald were sent off. They are bossing things now. A good save from
:24:30. > :24:40.Samson. Looking for a goal on his first start for the Ibrox club.
:24:41. > :24:58.He has got it back that was clever. Samson saves from Miller. Here is
:24:59. > :25:05.Miller. He has snuck it through. A big chance here. It is Wallace. How
:25:06. > :25:11.on earth did that stay out? Pick the bones out of that. Lee Wallace,
:25:12. > :25:27.Samson got something on it and it came off.
:25:28. > :25:43.Ranges are threatening here. Craig Samson preventing the Spaniard from
:25:44. > :25:47.giving Rangers the lead. Three times Motherwell have lost to Rangers this
:25:48. > :25:52.season, twice in the last minutes of game. They also deal they should
:25:53. > :26:01.have taken something way back in the summer. Wallace, missed, not by
:26:02. > :26:10.Miller, though. The scourge of Motherwell has done it again. He
:26:11. > :26:18.probably should have scored himself, but Rangers Mr dependable is there
:26:19. > :26:32.again against Motherwell. Eight but the season full Miller. Here is
:26:33. > :26:35.again, this time it is Forrester. A good second-half performance by
:26:36. > :26:43.Craig Samson. A couple of saves in the second half, as well. A red card
:26:44. > :26:56.to Scott McDonald. That was crucial to the way this game has played
:26:57. > :27:01.itself out. 2-0, game, set and match, Rangers. They again to go
:27:02. > :27:12.back into second place. Hyndman is best for the club. -- is first. We
:27:13. > :27:18.played some good stuff at the time. It wasn't all bad. I would say that
:27:19. > :27:25.we didn't make enough chances when we're down to ten men. What was your
:27:26. > :27:30.view of the red cards? I am not docking it, but the first one was
:27:31. > :27:38.too far away, there were a lot of bodies and I couldn't be sure. I
:27:39. > :27:42.looked over Scott McDonald, I think it will get switched. He said the
:27:43. > :27:46.ball got away from him anywhere it he went for the ball he didn't mean
:27:47. > :27:56.to hurt Kenny Miller. If it was maybe a little bit over then he has
:27:57. > :28:00.made the decision and I stand by it. We are privileged to have the actual
:28:01. > :28:06.accused here in the dock. Thanks for coming in. I should have bought my
:28:07. > :28:14.shin pads. In terms of the sending-off... Lets get the easy one
:28:15. > :28:21.out of the way. 100% a red card. We know that O'Halloran is not a dirty
:28:22. > :28:30.player. But he caught the player very high up. Definitely a red card.
:28:31. > :28:36.A sore one. Now, Scott McDonald. I think this first angle here... The
:28:37. > :28:46.referee called as you saw it. I'm disappointed with it. I went into
:28:47. > :28:51.Kenny. That view is terrible. It doesn't look good. In terms of where
:28:52. > :28:58.the referee is, I did to win the ball, a lunge in I take the ball and
:28:59. > :29:05.as the impact is braced I'd bent my leg. It I had had a straight leg he
:29:06. > :29:11.would have been in a world of trouble. There is no bad intent
:29:12. > :29:16.there. I couldn't keep my butt in that position, I had to lift my
:29:17. > :29:21.thought or it would go to ground. -- I couldn't keep my foot in that
:29:22. > :29:25.position. I can understand that, but at the end of the date you have
:29:26. > :29:27.caught Kenny Miller high with your studs and that is dangerous play.
:29:28. > :29:37.For me it is a red card. They are a dime a dozen every week.
:29:38. > :29:42.When you slide in, is anyone ever in full control when they grow into
:29:43. > :29:47.ground? What was your view of this one, Scott? He's coming from a
:29:48. > :29:56.further distance, the player can see it. But he's out of control, when he
:29:57. > :30:04.goes to ground. Should it have been a red card? It's a possibility. This
:30:05. > :30:09.is more... It's a yellow card. I think mine was a yellow card. That
:30:10. > :30:18.the argument. We'll see another one, later in the game. Will you appeal?
:30:19. > :30:24.I haven't had the chance to speak to the manager or anyone else in the
:30:25. > :30:30.club. It was a good win for Rangers. Emerson Hyndman, what was he like?
:30:31. > :30:36.It was excellent and Rangers themselves dominated the past. He
:30:37. > :30:49.picks the ball up, looks forward and Rangers against Motherwell last
:30:50. > :30:53.time. Can I play a forward pass? Yes. A lovely little touch. He
:30:54. > :30:58.should have hit this with his left, tries on the outside of his right
:30:59. > :31:02.but brilliant from Hyndman. Two games, two assists and a goal and
:31:03. > :31:06.this is fantastic. Where can I play the killer pass? Are weighted ball
:31:07. > :31:11.perfectly. He was excellent. Why corn should have scored. He is in
:31:12. > :31:16.the right place at the right-hand why corn should have scored.
:31:17. > :31:23.Blaze a nice pass out but doesn't want to stop. A good touch and a
:31:24. > :31:27.really strong hit into the back. All round, very impressive performance.
:31:28. > :31:31.Very impressive defence as well from Scott McDonald on his own behalf.
:31:32. > :31:35.Kangaroo court! LAUGHTER You've not been so impressed by
:31:36. > :31:40.Motherwell's decent run of form? They have struggled. One win in
:31:41. > :31:43.eight. They've got a very tough couple of games coming up. Starting
:31:44. > :31:50.on Tuesday night at Ross County. No easy games. That stat looks, you
:31:51. > :31:54.know, worse than what we would think in the changing room. Going off the
:31:55. > :31:59.back of the winter break, we had four points out of six. Comeback,
:32:00. > :32:03.first league game we've lost, we're not looking as far back eight games.
:32:04. > :32:09.No question that Ross County is a big game on Tuesday night. Fair play
:32:10. > :32:13.to you for coming. Thank you. A tough week for Kilmarnock fans,
:32:14. > :32:18.painful last-minute exit from the Scottish Cup and their top scorer
:32:19. > :32:20.sold to an Egyptian side. How would Lee Clark's side respond against
:32:21. > :32:29.Ross County? COMMENTATOR: Lee Clark made a couple
:32:30. > :32:36.of changes to this side that lost to Hamilton Accies. Stevie Smith, the
:32:37. > :32:40.captain comes back in. Boyd starts up front. No real surprise that the
:32:41. > :32:44.Ross County manager, Jim McIntyre, stays with the same team that
:32:45. > :32:47.started the 6-2 cup win over Dundee United, having not lost for more
:32:48. > :32:51.than three years at their home ground.
:32:52. > :32:58.The Marnoch get us under way. Ross County have beaten them the last
:32:59. > :33:07.seven meetings but here's an early chance for Kris Boyd. Fantastic
:33:08. > :33:16.opening and with just ten seconds on the clock, Kris Boyd has put, like
:33:17. > :33:17.head. A deft finish from Boyd. Gary Dicker put him through on goal and
:33:18. > :33:32.Boyd pouncing. A chance for the equaliser. Good
:33:33. > :33:39.goalkeeping by Woodman, his first league appearance for Killie since
:33:40. > :33:56.joining from Newcastle. He did well to block Shop's effort. Away from
:33:57. > :34:03.his marker. Taking over. The equaliser for Ross County. It is,
:34:04. > :34:10.but quickly. Third goal in two games for County. They want behind for
:34:11. > :34:14.long. Good interchanging, setting up the Frenchman to level the score
:34:15. > :34:26.line and satisfy his manager, no doubt. No corner headed onto the
:34:27. > :34:30.bar. Rangers still not clear! Having fallen behind so early on, they are
:34:31. > :34:35.now in front. BOOING The home fans voiced their
:34:36. > :34:41.displeasure. County have turned things right around. It is Alex
:34:42. > :34:59.Schalk who has put them ahead. Just about keeping that one in. Gets
:35:00. > :35:05.it back. Another chance for County. Tim Chow couldn't get there.
:35:06. > :35:07.Threatening to put this game beyond Kilmarnock before half-time. Looking
:35:08. > :35:18.so dangerous at the moment, the visitors. Wilson forward to Boyd. A
:35:19. > :35:25.neat pass from the striker. Taylor. Boyd gets on the end of it but a
:35:26. > :35:29.good save from Fox in the end. He has to make sure of that one. Good
:35:30. > :35:40.move from Kilmarnock who started the second half a bit more brightly.
:35:41. > :35:45.Clips the corner kick in. It took a deflection on its way over.
:35:46. > :35:53.Kilmarnock press for the equaliser and Boyd is looking for his second
:35:54. > :35:59.of the match. Good block in the end. Something on the end for Dicker.
:36:00. > :36:01.Kilmarnock have been threatening that equaliser since half-time and
:36:02. > :36:10.finally they get it through Gary Dicker. Well deserved for the home
:36:11. > :36:13.side. Boyd with the assist this time, role reversal. As Kilmarnock
:36:14. > :36:27.draw level. So much room. With his goal-scoring
:36:28. > :36:29.prowess, you would have expected him to do better. Away from his marker,
:36:30. > :36:42.Wilson. Just managing to keep that in when
:36:43. > :36:51.he has lost out and then he lunges in on Jordan Jones. McEveley. It was
:36:52. > :37:02.a high tackle. But just a yellow card for McEveley. O'Brien. His
:37:03. > :37:06.fellow substitute, Gardyne. Side netting only had a few of the County
:37:07. > :37:17.fans behind that goal thought he had just managed to get this inside the
:37:18. > :37:30.near post. Fraser slightly slack with the past. Couldn't get there,
:37:31. > :37:36.Chow. Kilmarnock from nothing, back in front. They went ahead so early
:37:37. > :37:41.in this match. They've gone back in front so late on. Surely no chance
:37:42. > :37:44.for County to come back. The boys showed great character coming back
:37:45. > :37:52.from 2-1 behind. We took our chances. You mentioned earlier there
:37:53. > :37:54.was a worry about goals. You have the leading goal-scorer in the
:37:55. > :37:59.dressing room and we are now starting to get goals from midfield
:38:00. > :38:03.as well. It's all positive, today. Credit to Kilmarnock. They were
:38:04. > :38:08.putting us under a lot of pressure. For our side of things, we felt it
:38:09. > :38:12.was coming from us being slack in possession. I can't actually
:38:13. > :38:17.remember what happened. I haven't seen what happened. It was a long
:38:18. > :38:20.punt up the pitch. I don't know who won the header but the next thing I
:38:21. > :38:24.found myself through on goal. I thought I was offside for some
:38:25. > :38:29.reason at first as well. It was a great start. We got sloppy for maybe
:38:30. > :38:34.ten minutes. We paid the price because Ross County were excellent
:38:35. > :38:39.for ten minutes. But we showed great determination today. Got back and a
:38:40. > :38:43.great result. A great win for Kilmarnock. And a great moment for
:38:44. > :38:50.Kris Boyd. It has to be quite ironic he is has the fastest goal in
:38:51. > :38:55.Premiership history and it you have criticised his lack of pace. How he
:38:56. > :38:59.made it into the 18-yard box in ten seconds is one of life's mysteries.
:39:00. > :39:06.I have been critical of,, they haven't scored a goal within eight
:39:07. > :39:10.games. Kris Boyd put that right. Not a good celebration. But the perfect
:39:11. > :39:14.start for Kilmarnock for this game. Good finish from Boyd, as you would
:39:15. > :39:19.expect, Scott? Of course, he's been doing it for years. The big man is
:39:20. > :39:23.breaking records, fastest goal, now, leading all-time scorer in the
:39:24. > :39:26.league. A fantastic servant for Kilmarnock and good to see him back
:39:27. > :39:31.on the scoresheet. He enjoyed it despite the fact that he couldn't
:39:32. > :39:36.remember much about it. This great Kilmarnock comeback, it was
:39:37. > :39:38.fantastic for them, they haven't scored many goals this season but
:39:39. > :39:41.Ross County didn't help themselves in terms of the defence. Two Paul
:39:42. > :39:48.goals to lose. A corner and then van der Weg has Boyd but Decker leads
:39:49. > :39:54.him to help Boyd. Three or four yards on marked. A decent finish for
:39:55. > :39:57.him. This one is the last minute of the game. Fraser put it up the line,
:39:58. > :40:04.he goes inside and you can see it here. Chow Doesn't want it. He
:40:05. > :40:08.leaves it. There's an opportunity to get your body into a position to
:40:09. > :40:14.stop this past but he doesn't do that. Not lay-off from Tyson. A
:40:15. > :40:18.decent finish. Great entertainment at Rugby Park and a well-deserved
:40:19. > :40:21.win from Kilmarnock. A tough week for Kilmarnock and a home win was
:40:22. > :40:24.very welcome for the home fans. A theme developing this evening in
:40:25. > :40:34.terms of questionable challenges, Scott. McEveley, should this have
:40:35. > :40:41.been a red card? Yes. I will let Stephen answer this. No, Scott, you
:40:42. > :40:46.want answered? He clearly doesn't get the ball. Look, you want
:40:47. > :40:50.consistency. Again, I don't like calling, you know, should be a red
:40:51. > :40:53.card innit or a yellow card but he gets a yellow for that. -- red card
:40:54. > :40:59.but he gets a yellow for that. -- red or a yellow card. At least you
:41:00. > :41:05.got a bit of the Blixt he doesn't get any of the ball. -- a bit of the
:41:06. > :41:08.ball! Let's talk about Kilmarnock for a second. You were critical of
:41:09. > :41:13.them during the weekend they have seen so many players in the starting
:41:14. > :41:19.XI this season. Last weekend, 35 players in that starting XI. Is it
:41:20. > :41:22.working? Is Lee Clark panning for gold in finding gems? It might be
:41:23. > :41:26.that the Newcastle youngsters look very good. I was critical of the
:41:27. > :41:30.fact they weren't scoring goals, only one in the last six games
:41:31. > :41:34.before yesterday's match but three yesterday and the signs are
:41:35. > :41:39.positive. Up to joint sixth place as well. No choice to sell their top
:41:40. > :41:43.scorer. ?800,000. You need to bite the hand for that. Good for
:41:44. > :41:48.Kilmarnock. Kris Boyd scored and he will be a big player in the lead up
:41:49. > :41:52.to the end of this season. If they can get him scoring goals, they will
:41:53. > :41:58.be fine. The surprise result of the weekend? Yes. McDiarmid Park, St
:41:59. > :42:01.Johnstone versus Hamilton Accies, two sides are readily punching above
:42:02. > :42:05.their respective weights, who can land a knockout blow? COMMENTATOR:
:42:06. > :42:16.Six Changes For St Johnstone. Hamilton are without suspended Mikey
:42:17. > :42:38.Devlin. Anderson's header away. Collected by
:42:39. > :42:46.Crawford. That is Danny Redmond. McKinnon. Decent strike. In the
:42:47. > :42:55.first half of the few highlights, this at least produces a save from
:42:56. > :43:04.Clark. Danny Swanson gets himself into trouble. Out comes a yellow
:43:05. > :43:15.card from the referee. After this foul on Redmond. It is Crawford and
:43:16. > :43:17.it is not quite close enough. Just skimming the roof of the net from
:43:18. > :43:23.the Hamilton midfielder on its way over.
:43:24. > :43:34.. Helped over by Watson. Being's touch. Anderson in trouble. What's
:43:35. > :43:42.your virginity for Craig Watson. Should have been scoring here.
:43:43. > :44:01.Popped up so invitingly. Redmond for Hamilton. Loses out to Alex D'Acol
:44:02. > :44:05.D'Acol. What a miss! Want a chance for Crawford to make it ten goals
:44:06. > :44:12.for the season and get the Accies ahead.
:44:13. > :44:22.Cummins helping it along. . A chance for St Johnstone. That was heading
:44:23. > :44:25.in. Danny Swanson with the corner.
:44:26. > :44:40.Cummins! 1-0! Cummins at muscling everyone in the
:44:41. > :44:46.six yard box. -- out muscling. Just a couple of minutes after Crawford's
:44:47. > :44:52.glaring miss St Johnstone make no mistake.
:44:53. > :44:59.Cummins making a nuisance of himself.
:45:00. > :45:08.Taking it out wide but keeps it alive. Cummins strikes again.
:45:09. > :45:15.Doubling his goals total for the season. It is two for the St
:45:16. > :45:19.Johnstone striker in not much more than five minutes. And even at this
:45:20. > :45:28.early stage, you would imagine there is no way back for Hamilton. Imrie.
:45:29. > :45:35.MacKinnon trying to muscle his way in. Bingham's shot deflected. Danny
:45:36. > :45:44.Redmond. Big opportunity but the shot blocked by Anderson. He took
:45:45. > :45:48.far too long. I am sure the manager agrees. Initially, on his left foot,
:45:49. > :45:56.his stronger foot, switched it to the right. A real opportunity gone
:45:57. > :45:59.to get Hamilton back in the game. Three points will take St Johnstone
:46:00. > :46:09.level on points with hearts in fourth spot. Cummins. He holds it
:46:10. > :46:20.up, he rolls it back for Brian Easton. Davidson! Game over.
:46:21. > :46:26.Davidson strikes. Not picked up, as he made his move into the Hamilton
:46:27. > :46:29.penalty box. That makes it 3-0. Lovely ball in from eastern
:46:30. > :46:41.defending. -- from Brian Easton. Crawford with the free kick. That
:46:42. > :46:44.just about sums things up today. Both for Crawford and Hamilton.
:46:45. > :46:53.WHISTLE I thought Hamilton played very well,
:46:54. > :47:00.particularly first half and that 2-0 they had a great chance to make it
:47:01. > :47:05.back to 2-1. We played better and lost. Ultimately, we got the job
:47:06. > :47:09.done. When you go through one-on-one we need to put the ball in the back
:47:10. > :47:12.of the net and had we gone one up we would have deserved it. We were the
:47:13. > :47:15.better team until that point. It has been the case for so many games this
:47:16. > :47:20.season we have been comfortable in the game, controlling the game,
:47:21. > :47:26.feeling that the opportunities will come for us. And we do. And we don't
:47:27. > :47:30.take them. And we get on dawn. A good win for St Johnstone, they draw
:47:31. > :47:34.level on points with hearts. Not good for Hamilton Accies. Could have
:47:35. > :47:43.been a different game. Crawford with this chance. Most definitely. As we
:47:44. > :47:46.see here, Martin said in his interview if they score this and go
:47:47. > :47:50.one up the game is different and in the balance. It is unlike him. He
:47:51. > :47:56.possibly could have taken the first time as well. He decides to take his
:47:57. > :48:00.touch and you always fancy Crawford from this area. He is a key player
:48:01. > :48:03.for Hamilton. If they are to do well, this second half of the
:48:04. > :48:06.season, he will have to be firing. It was a good chance. As is often
:48:07. > :48:10.the case with St Johnstone, they find a way to win the match and they
:48:11. > :48:14.did it resoundingly. They are so good at doing this and they are so
:48:15. > :48:20.professional. They get the ball. This is where they are strong in
:48:21. > :48:23.these errors, great header from Cummins. Putting the ball in the box
:48:24. > :48:27.is a massive strength of their -- strong in these areas. They are a
:48:28. > :48:31.bit all over the place. You think at this point the ball has gone to wide
:48:32. > :48:35.with this touch. They get away with it, they get bodies back. Even that,
:48:36. > :48:42.they will be hugely disappointed that they don't clear that. Second
:48:43. > :48:45.goal for Cummins. Really bad. This is the pick of the bunch. Davidson
:48:46. > :48:49.doing what he does time and time again. He doesn't come into the
:48:50. > :48:54.frame and tell quite make that his timing from his run into the box is
:48:55. > :48:59.superb. -- until quite late. A sensational header. That is their
:49:00. > :49:05.strength. He knows that ball is coming in. That's a wonderful thing
:49:06. > :49:08.to have. For a striker or in midfielder making late runs like
:49:09. > :49:12.that, as soon as the wide man gets it, put it in the area and it is a
:49:13. > :49:16.fantastic header. How worried should Hamilton Accies fan speed? There is
:49:17. > :49:22.talk of a boycott. We look at their run of form, they won a match in the
:49:23. > :49:28.league since October. It is incredible. It is incredible. Joint
:49:29. > :49:31.bottom of the table. They are really struggling, joint bottom of the
:49:32. > :49:35.table with Inverness who they actually play on Tuesday night. That
:49:36. > :49:39.becomes a massive game. Whoever wins is going to leave the other three
:49:40. > :49:42.points adrift at the bottom of the league. It is a huge game. The
:49:43. > :49:47.graphic shows the form has been there were good enough for Hamilton.
:49:48. > :49:51.Is Martin Canning under real pressure? It doesn't seem that way.
:49:52. > :49:57.Even though there is talk of a boycott. They want everybody pulling
:49:58. > :50:01.in the same direction. He doesn't seem to be under that much pressure
:50:02. > :50:04.from the club board? He is experienced at this, now. There were
:50:05. > :50:10.people putting pressure on him last season. He managed to come through
:50:11. > :50:15.with that and kept the club adrift of relegation, once again. It is
:50:16. > :50:21.difficult, with the budgets they live upon. Martin Canning is doing
:50:22. > :50:24.his best. Only six points between bottom and six. You would have to
:50:25. > :50:30.put every manager under that category. Ritchie was talking about
:50:31. > :50:34.finishing top six. Still very tight and there is still quite a distance
:50:35. > :50:38.to go. A couple for you, St Johnstone finishing above Hearts? It
:50:39. > :50:42.is going to be interesting. Celtic win the league and then the battle
:50:43. > :50:44.for second between Rangers and Aberdeen but interesting between St
:50:45. > :50:54.Johnstone and Hearts for that fourth place. Yes, I think they will. I
:50:55. > :50:56.know you love a curve. Finally, the battle of the jags, Inverness Caley
:50:57. > :51:02.Thistle versus Partick Caley Thistle. John Barnes does the
:51:03. > :51:08.commentary. COMMENTATOR: Henry Anya gets his first start as they beg for
:51:09. > :51:17.a change in form. Raven returns after a three-month absence. Ross
:51:18. > :51:26.Draper is back in midfield. My appeal and gets his debut. -- Ryan
:51:27. > :51:29.Keown. Horrendous run for them as far as the league is concerned. No
:51:30. > :51:39.wins in the last ten league fixtures. This all trying to move
:51:40. > :51:46.forward -- Thistle. Edwards trying a colour. William is alert to that
:51:47. > :51:47.danger. The Australian finding that space for the shot but it could well
:51:48. > :52:07.have gone wide. Raven. Swinging its deep to the back.
:52:08. > :52:12.Tremarco. The left full-back is in good form, joint top scorer for
:52:13. > :52:20.Caley Thistle six goals this campaign. Close to number seven,
:52:21. > :52:38.there. He was looking for three wins out of three. They will have to to
:52:39. > :52:45.defend at the moment. Good ball in. A brilliant save from Williams. How
:52:46. > :52:49.did he get a hand to that one? What a touch that was from the goalkeeper
:52:50. > :53:03.did not get onto the crossbar. And deny Azeez an opener.
:53:04. > :53:18.Partick Thistle are moving quickly. A fine nutmeg on Ross Draper from
:53:19. > :53:25.Sean Welsh. Azeez, holding it up. Erskine touched away by Williams.
:53:26. > :53:27.Erskine scored a double last week against United and desperate to get
:53:28. > :53:39.on the scoresheet with that effort. Still pushing forward again. There's
:53:40. > :53:45.Azeez. Couldn't find the target with that effort this time.
:53:46. > :54:08.Forward. Looking for a free but not getting it. A chance for Caley
:54:09. > :54:11.Thistle. Draper towards Polworth. Good running but could not get a
:54:12. > :54:14.proper connection with the shot, though.
:54:15. > :54:28.Cleared. It breaks to Tremarco, again. You can see why he is joint
:54:29. > :54:37.Trot score for Caley Thistle, always in defensive positions -- joint top
:54:38. > :54:49.scorer. -- in offensive positions. Welsh getting out to Lawless. Azeez!
:54:50. > :54:54.It does not look like it will be Azeez's afternoon. Another good
:54:55. > :54:55.opening. Caley Thistle have not won in the league at home since
:54:56. > :55:06.September. Early on the park a couple of
:55:07. > :55:09.minutes, the substitute. Is this the chance? He has failed to take it. He
:55:10. > :55:17.curls it wide of the left hand post. No relegation fight, too early to
:55:18. > :55:21.talk about that. Top six still, six points away from the top six and I
:55:22. > :55:24.believe we will get there. We need a couple of players coming in to win
:55:25. > :55:29.their shirts which we are working hard on in the areas we need. We are
:55:30. > :55:34.good to go, it is positive. This team were desperate to win the game.
:55:35. > :55:39.We are a bit disappointed not getting a victory and not going
:55:40. > :55:43.clear of them. We have a platform to build on. This match wasn't a thing
:55:44. > :55:46.of beauty but the point is shared between the sides. It was must win
:55:47. > :55:51.according to the Inverness manager Richie Foran before the game.
:55:52. > :55:55.Obviously, he didn't win it. He did say that and paradoxically said he
:55:56. > :55:59.was happy with a point. It's a better point for Partick than
:56:00. > :56:02.Inverness who are desperate for points at this stage and Inverness
:56:03. > :56:08.haven't lost a goal in the last four trips. They haven't lost to
:56:09. > :56:11.Inverness in the last few games. They are in decent form and they
:56:12. > :56:16.dominated this match yesterday. A fine line between a great save and
:56:17. > :56:20.maybe a lucky block and Fon Williams came to the fore in these next few
:56:21. > :56:26.clips? It will be delighted. Seeing the highlights last week, he won't
:56:27. > :56:35.be wanting to see them back. 41 he didn't say. This is a big miss. --
