:00:57. > :01:05.Good evening. The game of football is all about goals. Tonight we bask
:01:05. > :01:09.in their glory on a weekend in which most of us basked in a late dose of
:01:09. > :01:13.summer weather. And tonight we have two veritable rays of sunshine with
:01:13. > :01:17.us in the studio, Craig Levein and Pat Nevin. We start at Kilmarnock's
:01:17. > :01:20.Rugby Park. A scene of discontent of late with fans protests against
:01:20. > :01:24.chairman Michael Johnston. Add to that, the team were without a win so
:01:24. > :01:25.far this season. Add to that, the visitors yesterday were Celtic.
:01:25. > :01:38.There for us was Liam Mcleod. Kilmarnock have not won at home
:01:38. > :01:44.since February. A good line-up from Alan Johnston. It is just about the
:01:44. > :01:49.stronger Celtic team that Neil Lennon could have sent out.
:01:49. > :01:53.Barcelona is on the back burner. Georgia some rest starts. --
:01:53. > :02:01.Georgios Samaras starts. Kilmarnock make the brighter start
:02:01. > :02:39.at Rugby Park. It is 1-0! It is a horror story for
:02:39. > :02:48.Craig Samson, the Kilmarnock goalkeeper. Georgia Samra Scott away
:02:48. > :02:57.from the command at right back. -- Georgios Samaras got away. Despite
:02:57. > :03:10.Kilmarnock with a bright start, it is Celtic to lead. ! Wonderful!
:03:10. > :03:20.Within a couple of minutes, Celtic have gone to to the good. Georgios
:03:20. > :03:28.Samaras! What about that for a finish from the Greek. To reflect.
:03:28. > :03:34.-- to rhetoric. Alan Johnston will be rubbing his eyes in disbelief.
:03:34. > :03:45.Georgios Samaras has teed it up! It is three goals! A stunning six
:03:45. > :03:51.minutes for Celtic! From 0-0 all the way to 3-0 in the blink of an eye,
:03:51. > :04:03.just about! Georgios Samaras the architect and the finisher. It was
:04:03. > :04:06.set up for him by Kris Commons. This controversy has done nothing to ease
:04:06. > :04:15.relations between Michael Johnson and the supporters who are not
:04:15. > :04:21.inside, but outside protesting. A free kick here for Kilmarnock. A man
:04:21. > :04:31.on loan from Dundee United. Has looked lively today. It is Sammy
:04:31. > :04:37.Clingan. It is one back! A fine free kick from Sammy Clingan. The man
:04:37. > :04:41.from Belfast out of boxing Fraser Forster there. -- outfox Singh
:04:41. > :05:02.Fraser Forster. it is game on again! Celtic came
:05:02. > :05:07.from 3-0 down famously a few weeks ago to get a 3-3 draw. Scarcely
:05:07. > :05:12.could you imagine that Kilmarnock would get back into this a few
:05:12. > :05:22.minutes ago? ! They have pulled it back to 3-2. A much brighter start
:05:22. > :05:30.to the second half for Celtic than they had in the first half.
:05:30. > :05:56.Kilmarnock reduced the arrears from 3-0 down.
:05:56. > :06:03.Charlie Mulgrew to take the free kick. Georgios Samaras is there!
:06:03. > :06:13.That is the hat-trick! Wonderful free kick from Charlie Mulgrew, in
:06:13. > :06:17.four Georgios Samaras. A bit of pushing and shoving inside the
:06:17. > :06:26.penalty area, but the Greek striker scores the first hat-trick. An ideal
:06:26. > :06:30.boost for Georgios Samaras and for Celtic ahead of Barcelona on
:06:30. > :06:35.Tuesday. This might be getting even better for them. Spencer Stokes is
:06:35. > :06:42.waiting! You does not need it! It is five goals! Celtic restorer there
:06:42. > :06:54.are three goal lead that they had in the first hour. -- Celtic go on to
:06:54. > :06:58.restore their 3-goal lead. Whatever performance reproduced today, to
:06:58. > :07:06.lose five goals is unbelievable. We play week in week out. We win a lot
:07:06. > :07:12.of games. The second half, we were very, very good. Clinical. The
:07:12. > :07:16.forwards can take a lot of credit from the way they played away.
:07:16. > :07:22.Georgios Samaras was world-class. I do not care what level you are
:07:22. > :07:25.playing at, to put in a performance like that is world-class. I do not
:07:25. > :07:30.think we played well in the first half. I tried to help my team-mates
:07:30. > :07:37.to get in the game. I think we scored three goals, then we started
:07:37. > :07:41.to do some mistakes. I do not know why. We panicked. The second half, I
:07:41. > :07:49.think we balanced everything, the team, and I think in the end, the
:07:49. > :07:53.result is good. A big morale booster of a result for Celtic ahead of
:07:53. > :07:59.Barcelona on Tuesday night. Calling Georgios Samaras world class, Craig,
:07:59. > :08:06.is world-class a worthy label for him, do you feel? It must have
:08:06. > :08:11.been, because Neil Lennon thought his performance was world-class. For
:08:11. > :08:15.me, I would not use the word in this flippant way. For me, world-class
:08:15. > :08:21.players that perform a consistent, top-notch level week in week out.
:08:21. > :08:24.The accusation against Georgios Samaras is that he can be
:08:24. > :08:30.world-class, as we have seen from here, but it doesn't happen often
:08:30. > :08:39.enough for me to consider him a world-class player. Not world-class
:08:39. > :08:42.defending? No, but you can say that is Georgios Samaras is an
:08:42. > :08:47.international standard striker, when he is on his best. This striker,
:08:47. > :08:53.coming in from the left, he is fantastic. He has got a big, big
:08:53. > :08:59.role to play for Celtic. For the big games, he quite often turns up. And
:08:59. > :09:02.they want to be at his best on Tuesday night. Defensively, great
:09:02. > :09:09.from Celtic coin forward, defensively, signed the frailty
:09:09. > :09:14.against Kilmarnock? Frailty could be one way to put it. Easily beaten,
:09:14. > :09:21.but they need to get back. Eight typical left full-back is to go with
:09:21. > :09:26.his right foot. The good thing I will say, if you look at Scott Brown
:09:26. > :09:30.and look at van Dijk, and what on earth was that all about? The reason
:09:30. > :09:35.being, they know that they have got to be much better than bad, not only
:09:35. > :09:39.against Kilmarnock, but the better games. They will be. The focus on
:09:39. > :09:42.Tuesday night would be totally different, it is much more different
:09:42. > :09:49.playing against Barcelona than Kilmarnock. One thing the Celtic
:09:49. > :09:54.defence will not add to content with is Lee another messy. He is out for
:09:54. > :09:58.three weeks with an injured thigh. -- one thing that Celtic will not
:09:58. > :10:04.have to content with is Lionel Messi. That would be good news for
:10:04. > :10:08.Neil Lennon. He will pick his best team. It is a great boost to know
:10:08. > :10:13.that Lionel Messi, the bass player in the world, is not playing against
:10:13. > :10:21.you. No matter how good they are playing, what one moment, he is the
:10:21. > :10:25.best place to win. Celtic's record against Barcelona makes interesting
:10:25. > :10:30.reading. Four wins for Barcelona out of those eight meeting. Two wins for
:10:30. > :10:38.Celtic. When you look at the score lines, there has never been any
:10:38. > :10:42.thrashings in there. That gives me great encouragement, even looking at
:10:42. > :10:46.that as a Celtic player, that is encouraging. These games have been
:10:46. > :10:49.tight. The recent victory is fresh in their mind, and I saw that Neal
:10:49. > :10:55.was warning their players to refresh their memories against Barcelona the
:10:55. > :11:00.last time. If taken do that, as similar type of thing. Celtic's win
:11:00. > :11:04.over Kilmarnock meant that Inverness would need to win by three clear
:11:04. > :11:07.goals to keep their place at the top of the premiership. Hibs were the
:11:07. > :11:12.visitors. Commentary on this one comes from Rob Mclean.
:11:12. > :11:16.Terry Butcher's first change was to leave Ed Gary Warren and his second
:11:16. > :11:20.is to recall the central defender for this one. No place in the
:11:20. > :11:34.Hibernian team for Abdullah Gul. Nick Ross, he was caught late by
:11:34. > :11:58.Stevenson. Billy McKay open the scoring. Inside
:11:58. > :12:02.11 minutes for Inverness. What a mix-up for the central defender and
:12:02. > :12:10.the goalkeeper, and Billy McKay is the man to take full advantage. His
:12:10. > :12:17.aid goal of the season. -- eighth goal.
:12:17. > :12:25.Billy McKay comes in again. Touches a bit wide this time. What an escape
:12:25. > :12:30.Hibernian. They keep giving the ball away and Vincent is supplying Billy
:12:30. > :12:37.McKay, and you would expect this to be nestling in the net.
:12:37. > :12:43.Flicked on for Heffernan, no flag. Paul Heffernan, right through on
:12:43. > :12:49.goal, he misses the target completely. They have been poor,
:12:49. > :12:54.Hibernian, but what a chance to get the game all square. It came off
:12:54. > :12:55.Josh Meekings by the look of it, which explains the lack of an
:12:55. > :13:12.offside flag. The cross is missed by Williams. Off
:13:12. > :13:19.the crossbar, and flicked away by Robertson. It is buried in the top
:13:19. > :13:26.corner by Richie Foran. 2-0, Inverness, inside the hour. The
:13:26. > :13:30.goalkeeper was lost completely here. The Richie Foran shot was flicked up
:13:30. > :13:33.from Hanlon and into the net. There may already be no way back for
:13:33. > :13:49.Hibernian at 2-0 down. David Raven! That was dangerous.
:13:49. > :13:52.Dean Brill in goal hasn't had too much to do in this match, and he
:13:52. > :14:03.would not been expecting that I don't think.
:14:03. > :14:09.Looking for room, finding it, and scoring! It is another brilliant
:14:09. > :14:17.finish from Billy McKay! Nine goals in nine games for Caley Thistle's
:14:17. > :14:24.top goal-scorer. Nobody got close enough, and that is what he does.
:14:24. > :14:40.Spinning away from Hanlon. And the shot was arrowed away from Williams.
:14:40. > :14:49.This just about sums things up today for Hibernian. This was struck with
:14:49. > :15:02.no conviction. Inverness are attacking as they
:15:02. > :15:10.please. The cross bounces off the crossbar. Yet again, Ben Williams
:15:10. > :15:12.losing all sense of where he was in the six yard box, and again, this
:15:12. > :15:27.was dangerous. Pressure from green Hallamshire and
:15:27. > :15:41.getting the better of Louis Stevenson. That could so easily have
:15:41. > :15:42.number four. Credit to Paul Hanlon for flinging himself in the way of
:15:42. > :16:01.all. -- we have the goal. The flashing header from Holland 's.
:16:01. > :16:11.It is to be no call for Hibs it seems. The players were terrific
:16:11. > :16:19.today. It was great to bounce back from last week. It's terrific. There
:16:19. > :16:24.was a lack of desire to date which is annoying. We have got good
:16:24. > :16:32.players but you have got to be able to, and scrap. We did not do that
:16:32. > :16:37.today. Another two goals for Billy McKay. His goal-scoring tally makes
:16:37. > :16:43.for an impressive reading this season. Last seasons he had nine
:16:43. > :16:49.calls out of 19 domestic matches, this season he has got bangles out
:16:49. > :16:56.of nine domestic matches so far. He is in line to be classed season's
:16:56. > :17:08.portal. What makes him such an impressive striker? -- total. It is
:17:08. > :17:18.a very simple thing, he is a natural. He gets himself between the
:17:18. > :17:23.posts all the time. I remember a striker once saying to me do not
:17:23. > :17:34.think about it, hope where the defenders are not. One thing is, as
:17:34. > :17:39.soon as he gets the ball he turns around and gets it towards the two
:17:39. > :17:50.posts. That's all, it is not complicated. You played with them?
:17:50. > :18:00.He was in the youth team at Leicester, I taught him everything
:18:00. > :18:07.he knows. He got the result they wanted from the side, Terry Butcher.
:18:07. > :18:11.It is remarkable. It is no coincidence for me that Terry
:18:11. > :18:16.Butcher has been in the job for a long PD differential time, he has
:18:16. > :18:27.been able to build his team. I'm delighted for him and for Inverness.
:18:27. > :18:35.-- long PD dog time. After a fast recovery from injury, Ryan Stevenson
:18:35. > :18:43.found a place on the bench. Hearts opponents were Dundee United. The
:18:43. > :18:55.story of this game comes from Jeanne Willis. There were two controversial
:18:55. > :19:05.moments. More of that later. Jason Holt tested the visitor's
:19:05. > :19:12.goalkeeper. This free kick was dealt with well. It was not all about
:19:12. > :19:21.Hearts, Dundee United were doing the bit. This exchange almost like to
:19:21. > :19:25.call. While that shot was well over, the Hearts goalkeeper had to look
:19:25. > :19:35.lively as the seam duo combined again. Some words of encouragement
:19:35. > :19:44.from the dugout. David Goodwillie was Tina lysed for a push which led
:19:44. > :19:59.to this call being disallowed. -- penalised. From almost going a goal
:19:59. > :20:05.behind, Hearts rallied. Jamie Hamill unleashed an effort which required a
:20:05. > :20:08.great save. There were too controversial moments, this is the
:20:08. > :20:14.second, arguably the main talking point. It looks as though a simple
:20:14. > :20:19.tap in had looked Hearts in front but the celebrations were
:20:19. > :20:26.short-lived. This leaf from the Hearts manager amid claims of up to
:20:26. > :20:30.show Dundee United goalkeeper. The goal was disallowed after the death
:20:30. > :20:38.was alerted by his linesman. Hearts were not happy. -- the referee was
:20:38. > :20:44.alerted. All that was still in the first half. It was time for another
:20:44. > :20:53.Dundee United assault on goal. Keith Watson tried his luck, as did
:20:53. > :20:59.Stewart Armstrong. This second half was not quite so incident packed.
:20:59. > :21:06.This man tried to win it for Dundee United. Jamie MacDonald got down
:21:06. > :21:12.well to stop the midfielder. He came closer in the 65th minute. This long
:21:12. > :21:25.ball dealt with well by Stuart Armstrong. This time the post kit
:21:25. > :21:29.out the strike. -- kept out. The points were shared that Tynecastle
:21:29. > :21:35.but Hearts possibly the more aggrieved after the disallowed goal.
:21:35. > :21:40.It is important to take the right amount of peer going forward. We had
:21:40. > :21:47.a post and a few other chanters but I don't think we were clinical
:21:47. > :21:52.enough. For a time they looked dangerous on the counterattack. That
:21:52. > :22:01.decision in the first-half, I'm standing here is thinking we should
:22:02. > :22:09.have won 1-0. What was your take on the phantom goal? The goal that
:22:09. > :22:17.never awards for Hearts? I think the fight of the ball was miss read. The
:22:17. > :22:26.goalkeeper tried to recover and did not get the. Any infringement here?
:22:26. > :22:33.I cannot see anything that would merit a free kick. Your right to say
:22:33. > :22:38.goalkeeper goes too far forward. Have the clear not been on him, with
:22:38. > :22:45.the goalkeeper have dealt with this definitely? I do not think so. I
:22:45. > :22:50.think Hearts I really am lucky. That is the second week in a row they
:22:50. > :22:58.have in unlucky. I do not necessarily think they deserve to
:22:58. > :23:04.have won the game. And should this have stood? I do not think it was
:23:04. > :23:09.for a push, as much for the handball. You were not too many
:23:09. > :23:14.complaints about it. It was a clear handball. Jackie McNamara has
:23:14. > :23:19.actually built a really good team again. Every year we would can in
:23:19. > :23:27.the United and every year deal boosted players but it is a really
:23:27. > :23:32.good team he has built its all well. -- every year at the those good
:23:32. > :23:37.players. We thought Ryan Stevenson was going to be out in fifth team
:23:37. > :23:49.weeks but he came back in seven. How do you say things in terms of Hearts
:23:49. > :23:53.off the field? You are involved in the campaign at the moment to try to
:23:53. > :24:03.keep Hearts in an even keel financially. It is great to have him
:24:03. > :24:06.back, Hearts do not have a lot of experienced players. As the season
:24:06. > :24:14.progresses the chances are that the fraud -- squad, in the aid already,
:24:14. > :24:26.will base stretched. -- being fed beer already will be stretched. --
:24:26. > :24:34.not having a lot of good players already, they will be stretched.
:24:34. > :24:41.Hopefully everything will be well. Reasons to be cheerful for the jam
:24:41. > :24:54.boats? It could he great result. In the end 13,000 people watched that
:24:54. > :25:02.game. It was fantastic for Hearts. It will be heads against Hearts for
:25:02. > :25:14.last place in the week up. -- had their name against Hearts. -- the
:25:14. > :25:19.league cup. Next to Motherwell who have been quietly building up a
:25:19. > :25:33.steady momentum. A five match unbeaten run. Four of those were Vic
:25:33. > :25:39.today's. -- victories. Motherwell are unbeaten in five and Stewart
:25:39. > :25:42.McCall brings back several players from the team that knocked
:25:42. > :25:54.Livingston out of the league cup midweek. Ross County have threats in
:25:54. > :26:04.the wider years. They look for the first-ever win at Fir Park. -- wide
:26:04. > :26:12.area is. Sutton. It is the first real question asked of Mark Brown.
:26:12. > :26:19.The Motherwell goalkeeper had to get down low to save. McCall will be
:26:19. > :26:21.happy with the way his team are playing at the moment. Very
:26:21. > :26:41.consistent. Sutton, Brown. There was a clash tween Sutton and
:26:41. > :27:07.Brian McLean. -- between. It has gone in, off McManus. After
:27:07. > :27:12.soaking up the early pressure it is Ross County who beat at for Park. --
:27:12. > :27:26.who read. -- who got the first goal. Britain and Quinn. A nice elbow up.
:27:26. > :27:53.-- build up. The short rises into the DV Cooper
:27:53. > :28:05.stand. -- this short. -- DV Cooper. This is a very good area for this
:28:05. > :28:11.deal meant. -- the Steelmen. It is Sutton. The goalkeeper has got a
:28:11. > :28:22.touch on that. It is a corner to Motherwell. A curling effort from
:28:22. > :28:32.John Sutton. The corner and Sutton. It is 1-1. John Sutton is settling
:28:32. > :28:42.back nicely. The goalkeeper could not keep out the header. Sutton.
:28:42. > :28:50.Here's not just you'd in the box but he is good out of it as well. That
:28:50. > :28:57.was a really good cross. Great ball. Kettlewell. He has a space to
:28:57. > :29:04.operate in. Quinn and back with Kettlewell. This safe. -- this eve
:29:04. > :29:36.from Hollis. Motherwell have come from behind to
:29:36. > :29:47.beat. -- to take the lead. It is 2-1 to Motherwell.
:29:47. > :30:06.The Ross County defence just stop for a split second. They could meet
:30:06. > :30:19.2p. -- they could be made to the. -- pay. McCue turns ten. The points are
:30:19. > :30:31.staying right here. An excellent header.
:30:31. > :30:40.Not too far away from his hat-trick. An excellent performance.
:30:40. > :30:45.It was good for us before he left. He certainly didn't want to go, but
:30:45. > :30:56.financial matters in his favour. You can see why he would want to do
:30:56. > :31:00.leave. I thought going behind was a bit harsh for us today, but we
:31:00. > :31:06.thought we would get chances and we made the most of them. It is only
:31:06. > :31:09.difficult if you allow it to be. He is a striker that get his body in
:31:09. > :31:20.front of the defenders, and he has done well today, but I am sure that
:31:20. > :31:24.he would be man of the match. John Sutton, the star of the show. How
:31:24. > :31:31.difficult a striker would he be to handle? He is obviously. One of his
:31:31. > :31:36.strengths is that when the ball comes into the box, he is a real
:31:36. > :31:39.handful. He is gaining confidence. He has come back from Hearts read
:31:39. > :31:50.things didn't particularly go well for him. Now he has settled back in
:31:50. > :31:58.at Motherwell. Why was it harder for him at Tynecastle than it is at for
:31:58. > :32:03.park? Some players feel more relaxed at different clubs. The more relaxed
:32:03. > :32:09.you are, the better you play. Just the style of it, his crosses have
:32:09. > :32:13.angle, it is pacey, he is crossing all the time. They have got players,
:32:13. > :32:19.they build the team around his style. Stuart McCall is seen what he
:32:19. > :32:25.has got and adapted the style. He really has helped John Sutton. Pat
:32:25. > :32:28.you have got links with Motherwell, he has shipped out a lot of players,
:32:28. > :32:36.shipped in a lot of players, he has got players playing quite attractive
:32:36. > :32:39.football. I like the positivity. I like that you mentioned the links,
:32:39. > :32:44.three of those players that are starting were actually team-mate of
:32:44. > :32:49.mine. That is stunning. One of those players, I often talk about, Keith
:32:49. > :32:54.Lasley, he has improved all the way through his career. He has been
:32:54. > :32:58.told, go for it, Keith, you are a great player. He had a great free
:32:58. > :33:02.kick last week. He is getting positive mental attitude from all of
:33:02. > :33:07.those players, and attacking mindset, and it works for everyone
:33:07. > :33:11.when you bring it. Keith Lasley feeling very old at the moment
:33:11. > :33:15.actually possibly! So a good win for Motherwell. Next
:33:15. > :33:34.week will be a test, as they travel to face the champions.
:33:34. > :33:39.That is next weekend. Finally to McDiarmid Park. St
:33:39. > :33:42.Johnstone had been slipping down the table of late. They welcomed a
:33:42. > :33:45.Partick Thistle side who'd impressed us mightily this season with their
:33:45. > :33:51.swashbuckling brand of attacking football. Your match commentator on
:33:51. > :33:56.this one is Paul Mitchell. St Johnstone, victorious midweek
:33:56. > :33:59.against Hamilton. Two changes with Gary McDonald and Nigel Hasselbaink
:33:59. > :34:10.giving way to Weatherspoon and Davidson. For changes to Partick
:34:10. > :34:23.Thistle. A first start in goal for the experienced Paul Gallacher.
:34:23. > :34:38.It is in! Frazer Wright was back! Steven Anderson went down. He
:34:38. > :34:41.slipped and hurt his hand. Doolan past the goalkeeper. I am not sure
:34:41. > :34:47.if Frazer Wright thought this was off target. A mental slip from
:34:47. > :34:54.Frazer Wright who did not cut it out. Partick are still ahead after
:34:54. > :34:56.six minutes. Anderson certainly appears to be in some pain. He will
:34:56. > :35:07.need some attention. A good save again here for Paul
:35:07. > :35:24.Gallacher. A nice lay-off to make. Was that a shoulder or a barge? Just
:35:24. > :35:41.a shoulder charge. Stephen O'Donnell, delivers so well.
:35:41. > :35:46.Doolan with a header. It was almost two. There would be very little Alan
:35:46. > :36:09.Mannus could have done about that. A great ball in.
:36:09. > :36:17.First premiership goal of the season past what appeared to be an
:36:17. > :36:22.unsighted Paul Gallacher. Got it down well onto Paddy Craig. A clever
:36:22. > :36:26.flick back and Alan Miller had just in the eye line of the goalkeeper.
:36:26. > :36:28.Three minutes to half-time and Steven MacLean curls one in. Third
:36:28. > :36:43.of the season. Murray Davidson claiming for a
:36:43. > :36:48.penalty after it went off the hand of your head. The ball into the
:36:48. > :37:06.defender, no penalty given. Not much of a challenge there, two
:37:06. > :37:23.Thistle players. That is not a penalty.
:37:23. > :37:29.Another good stop for Paul Gallacher. You give Chris Millar
:37:29. > :37:32.space at your apparel. More than capable of taking on that side and
:37:32. > :37:47.getting it on target. Here comes St Johnstone. It is to
:37:47. > :37:53.McClane. McCain has got support. He continues his run. Paul Gallacher
:37:53. > :37:58.gets the touch. Stevie May knows he should have buried it. The
:37:58. > :38:10.goalkeeper, just turning in time to turn it behind.
:38:10. > :38:21.Dave Mackay, into the ground! They have wasted a couple of chances to
:38:21. > :38:24.find the lead. We played enough chances, particularly in the second
:38:24. > :38:28.half. We worked Paul Gallacher quite a bit, but we just did not have that
:38:28. > :38:34.finishing touch to fill the game off. We missed a few chances. You
:38:34. > :38:40.always think you have got more chances than you had. Scott Fox was
:38:40. > :38:50.hindered which meant that Paul Gallacher went in goal instead. --
:38:50. > :38:59.was injured. A late call. As to get ready for it. I think the sun is in
:38:59. > :39:08.his eyes here, because he is lying on the ground. OK, that is a bad
:39:08. > :39:13.one! He had a really good game. That is the thing with goalkeepers.
:39:13. > :39:18.Younger ones... I think of it was a mistake earlier on. He said there
:39:18. > :39:25.wasn't. These essays look simple, but they are not. That is a really
:39:25. > :39:34.top-quality save. He is not that old! Just 34! Stevie May with a shot
:39:34. > :39:40.that Gallagher is saved, how made? He is one of those players that has
:39:40. > :39:43.had to graft. He has been on loan. He has progressed. He is getting
:39:43. > :39:50.opportunities on the team, which is great. Matt, where can he go with
:39:50. > :39:54.this career, do you feel? As far as you want to go with the right
:39:54. > :39:59.attitude. Someone that puts an effort and tries hard, and is
:39:59. > :40:05.nonstop, that is fine. You can go as far as you want, and it is all about
:40:05. > :40:10.having good players around you. That is it in terms of the action, let's
:40:10. > :40:19.have a look at what it has done to the table.
:40:19. > :40:26.Not much movement at the bottom of the table.
:40:26. > :40:31.The weekend isn't quite over, because St Mirren play Aberdeen
:40:31. > :40:37.tomorrow. We will talk about St Mirren shortly, obviously Danny
:40:37. > :40:42.Lennon's position under scrutiny, but let's talk about Aberdeen, they
:40:42. > :40:46.were rampant against Falkirk, Scott Vernon had a hat-trick to stop how
:40:46. > :40:52.impressed were you with this Aberdeen squad this season? They had
:40:53. > :40:56.a very strong score, a great manager. At the start of the season,
:40:56. > :41:00.I looked at the squad, I thought Aberdeen would have a great chance
:41:00. > :41:07.of finishing behind Celtic. Inverness have started really well.
:41:07. > :41:10.Aberdeen will finish the season strong. Vernon obviously within the
:41:10. > :41:14.goals, four goals in the last two games, great to have a striker back
:41:14. > :41:19.amongst the goals. Some fantastic runs. Will not be surprised if he
:41:19. > :41:23.keeps on going. The important thing for Aberdeen is the fact that they
:41:23. > :41:30.did not lead to a lower league team. Things may have changed. Danny
:41:30. > :41:34.Lennon, does he have to win the match tomorrow to save his job? I
:41:34. > :41:39.hope not. He is a good manager and I would like to see the board being
:41:39. > :41:42.patient and give him a chance. Pat Fenlon was the subject of criticism
:41:42. > :41:46.and he managed to turn it around. That would be the big into moral,
:41:46. > :41:50.you can see highlights from midnight tomorrow night on the BBC sport
:41:51. > :41:56.website. The rest of the premiership highlights are already there. Before
:41:57. > :42:01.we leave you, let's have a look at the back pages for tomorrow. This is
:42:01. > :42:07.the Scotsman saying, bring on Barcelona, building up to the big
:42:07. > :42:10.match on Tuesday. That is the match with Celtic and Barcelona. And a
:42:10. > :42:23.similar theme with the Scottish Sun newspaper. And the Daily Mail goes
:42:23. > :42:29.with it as well. Lionel Messi is out for Barcelona. In terms of that
:42:29. > :42:35.match, Craig, and Tuesday nights, in a way, does it make it more tricky
:42:35. > :42:40.for Celtic, the fact that they beat Barcelona at Parkhead last season?
:42:40. > :42:44.No, I don't think so. I would be happier with that experience, going
:42:44. > :42:50.in with that under my belt. Is the Celtic squad weaker than last
:42:50. > :42:53.season, they lost three big players in the summer, they had that
:42:54. > :43:00.fantastic showing against AC Milan were they lost unluckily by two
:43:00. > :43:03.goals to nil. These are the test. With all due respect, these are the
:43:03. > :43:06.games you expect them to be winning in the Premier League. This is where
:43:06. > :43:11.they have excelled in recent seasons and I would love to see them do it
:43:11. > :43:16.again. Pat, in terms of Neil Lennon and what he has to do with his
:43:16. > :43:19.Celtic side, what do they have to do to face Barcelona? So much has been
:43:19. > :43:28.said about the players Barcelona will be missing, but they will be
:43:28. > :43:32.huge lead difficult? It has been said Neil Lennon fears to as a
:43:32. > :43:36.possibility they will be hammered, but I do not think in his heart he
:43:36. > :43:40.feels that. They have been fantastic in the past against Barcelona, and I
:43:40. > :43:44.think a lot to be both downsides were really harsh on Celtic when the
:43:44. > :43:49.draw was made and they have shown a real disrespect for Celtic. They are
:43:49. > :43:55.good side, a European side. Who has to be the main big players? The core
:43:55. > :43:59.of the team has to be good. I would like to see Stokes playing, he is
:44:00. > :44:03.holding the ball up well. I would hope that Georgios Samaras would
:44:03. > :44:08.play, because he can coax anyone in danger. For me, it is the central
:44:08. > :44:14.player. We've got van Dijk, big player, van Dijk, for me, Brown and
:44:14. > :44:23.Mulgrew, play at the best, Celtic have a chance. Quick prediction? I
:44:23. > :44:31.would say a draw, that would be a good result. I would say that also.
:44:31. > :44:34.That's it for tonight. Best of luck to Celtic on Tuesday night in the
:44:34. > :44:37.Champions League. We're back next weekend. It will be October then.
:44:37. > :44:40.After the sunshine of this weekend I'm predicting a howling gale. From
:44:40. > :44:44.Craig, Pat and myself goodnight.
