:02:30. > :02:42.
:02:42. > :02:49.seems to have come off worse. No distress what nobody near him. It
:02:49. > :02:56.looks like bad news for Rangers. He just collapses in apparent agony.
:02:56. > :03:06.This is not a pleasant sight for the Rangers bench. He has been one

:03:06. > :03:46.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:03:46. > :03:56.Sasa Papac saw it late and he waves away the protests. Craig

:04:14. > :04:24.Brown is furious. The not a lot of with a sense of purpose that it was
:04:24. > :04:39.
:04:39. > :04:42.not there in the first half. It Kyle Lafferty on as a substitute.
:04:42. > :04:51.Rangers have been knocking on the door in the second half and
:04:51. > :05:01.eventually the pressure pays off. Richard Foster slipped, perhaps
:05:01. > :05:05.
:05:05. > :05:13.crucially. Gonzalez beaten at last. Confidence flowing through the
:05:13. > :05:22.Rangers ranks. Penalty for Rangers! Mac t cannot believe it. There was
:05:22. > :05:28.no doubt in the referee's mind. Just a yellow card for Mackie. Not
:05:28. > :05:38.an obvious goalscoring opportunities. Sasa Papac wins his
:05:38. > :05:38.
:05:38. > :05:43.side a penalty. Jelavic, straight down the middle! It looks very much
:05:43. > :05:49.like an their 100% record on the road is going to remain intact.
:05:49. > :05:57.Plenty to think about now for the Aberdeen manager. Richard Foster
:05:57. > :06:03.picks this up. An attempt on goal and he has found it! What a blunder
:06:03. > :06:11.by the goalkeeper. He is berating his defence, but only he can be
:06:11. > :06:16.blamed for this one. It is a decent enough strike by Richard Foster.
:06:16. > :06:25.Rangers concede on the road in the S P L. The first time he has made a
:06:25. > :06:31.mistake this season. He has had plenty of good saves as well. It is
:06:31. > :06:37.a straight red for Rory Fallon. He had already been booked, but that
:06:38. > :06:43.is a straight red card. The goal -- referee has obviously seen what he
:06:43. > :06:45.believes to be an elbow. A victory at a cost, because that
:06:45. > :06:50.does not look good for Steven does not look good for Steven
:06:50. > :06:55.Naismith? Unfortunately, it looks a very much like a cruciate ligament
:06:55. > :07:00.problem. And little bit late with a challenge here and I think this is
:07:00. > :07:07.where he twists his knee. I think where he twists his knee. I think
:07:07. > :07:17.his studs catch in the shin. Milsom is injured as well? There has been
:07:17. > :07:21.a shift to have torn his cruciate. It is very similar, I have done it
:07:22. > :07:26.plenty of times. When you have done it, you feel you can get up and run
:07:26. > :07:36.because it does not feel so bad. It is very loose and unstable and he
:07:36. > :07:42.went down. I wouldn't like to say what the problem is. I hope I am
:07:42. > :07:47.wrong. But it does not look great. He would be a big miss for Rangers?
:07:47. > :07:52.And for the Scotland national team because his improvement in the last
:07:52. > :07:56.couple of years has been phenomenal. I feel for him. I know he did have
:07:57. > :08:02.a problem previously when he missed a lot of matches. The last couple
:08:02. > :08:05.of years he has got him back into the Rangers team and a regular in
:08:06. > :08:12.the Scotland team. Clinical finishing is what Rangers do at the
:08:12. > :08:21.moment. They did not have too many chances at Tynecastle last weekend,
:08:21. > :08:26.and it seemed the same at Pittodrie? I have watched Kyle
:08:26. > :08:30.Lafferty recently score a number of goals from similar positions. And a
:08:30. > :08:34.stake in the Aberdeen defence but he gets a good body position and
:08:34. > :08:40.that driven first time across the goalkeeper, I think it is a
:08:40. > :08:45.trademark. This, I think Sasa Papac has been very clever. He put his
:08:45. > :08:50.right foot across in front of the defender. Because of that, there is
:08:50. > :08:56.no doubt there would be contact. Put away very easily. Then we have
:08:56. > :09:02.this of course. Quite uncharacteristic for the goalkeeper.
:09:02. > :09:07.Almost thinking, it is straight at me and I will catch this. And then
:09:07. > :09:13.he is on to the next move. It is an error. Nobody needs to tell him
:09:13. > :09:18.that. Maybe we draw a line under these mistakes by Allan McGregor
:09:18. > :09:28.because they don't happen very often? He is quality, and if he
:09:28. > :09:31.
:09:31. > :09:36.does make a mistake, he is not doing them often. Rory Fallon sent
:09:36. > :09:41.off, but he was shown a straight red card which adds to his crime
:09:41. > :09:47.count over the season. It upset Craig Brown. Do you feel for him
:09:47. > :09:53.here? A little bit, but when you raise your elbow above head height.
:09:53. > :09:58.When you put your arm on the player's shoulders to gain momentum
:09:58. > :10:03.to jump, with the elbow being so high, I think you leave yourself
:10:03. > :10:07.open to that type of thing happening. I don't think there was
:10:07. > :10:12.any malicious intent, but it was still a bit obvious with his arm
:10:12. > :10:15.being raised so high. You got a pat on the back in your day when you
:10:16. > :10:21.did that rather than a red card? You cannot compare what happened in
:10:21. > :10:25.the physical nature of football to what is happening now. Some ways it
:10:25. > :10:31.is for the better, but in other ways, it takes some of the blood
:10:31. > :10:38.and guts out of the game, which is part of the Scottish game. Just a
:10:38. > :10:43.word about Rangers's phenomenal record this season? Yes, until it
:10:43. > :10:49.was mentioned, I did not realise the run had extended into last
:10:49. > :10:53.season. Alastair is doing a wonderful job. They looked solid.
:10:53. > :10:57.It does not look like they will lose a lot of goals. Every time
:10:57. > :11:02.they make a chance they seem to be hitting the target or something
:11:02. > :11:06.coming from it. And there is a solid feel about them. Motherwell
:11:06. > :11:16.have to win in Inverness to make sure they kept hold of second place.
:11:16. > :11:16.
:11:16. > :11:23.Caledonian Thistle desperate to get out of bottom spot.
:11:23. > :11:30.It would be a good start for the side bottom of the S P L. Davis
:11:30. > :11:39.with a 12 at the edge of the box with Shinnie. The strike coming in
:11:39. > :11:46.the 4th minute. -- 1-2. A cold wet afternoon in Inverness would get
:11:46. > :11:51.even more miserable for Motherwell. Stevie Hammell chopped down,
:11:51. > :11:56.whether a terrible challenge and the Inverness defender escaped with
:11:56. > :12:00.the yellow card. But it was game over for Hammell who was
:12:00. > :12:10.stretchered off. There has been plenty of enterprise with Inverness
:12:10. > :12:15.
:12:15. > :12:19.this season. The goalkeeper was tested. But, six minutes before
:12:19. > :12:23.half-time from a corner, Tom Hateley got another chance to cross
:12:23. > :12:30.the ball. His second attempt at finding the head of Shaun
:12:30. > :12:35.Hutchinson, who almost got his head ripped off in the celebrations. 1-1
:12:36. > :12:40.the score. Inverness unable to keep the back door shut at this season.
:12:41. > :12:46.Suddenly it was Motherwell on top. Jamie Murphy spinning the ball in
:12:46. > :12:52.from my left. This would have been some goal. The ball striking the
:12:52. > :13:02.bar, but at 1-1 is how it finished at half-time. This game would have
:13:02. > :13:04.
:13:04. > :13:09.a bit of everything, a one to two between Shinnie and Andrew tardy,
:13:09. > :13:15.saw them back to the crossbar. From a corner, the Frenchman found the
:13:15. > :13:18.ball at his feet in the box. A great save from the goalkeeper and
:13:18. > :13:26.the Motherwell defence scrambled it's clear it in desperate fashion
:13:26. > :13:31.to say the least. Jonny Hayes was introduced and the No. 7 was
:13:31. > :13:38.involved as Inverness took the lead once again. Shinnie weaving into
:13:38. > :13:44.the box and finding the finish. The goal coming in the 76th minute and
:13:44. > :13:49.Caley Thistle suddenly in sight of the winning line. But, there was
:13:49. > :13:52.still a lot of football to be played. A good tackle from Shaun
:13:52. > :13:55.Hutchinson gave Keith Lasley the chance to power forward for
:13:55. > :14:05.Motherwell and the midfielder unleashed a shot which deceived
:14:05. > :14:10.
:14:10. > :14:15.crazy in the air and the 32-year- old with his 4th goal of the season
:14:16. > :14:23.has -- this Gornell, 2-2. The pace of Jamie Murphy came into play. The
:14:23. > :14:30.striker brought down by a player on the edge of the box. The referee
:14:30. > :14:37.decided Hogg had been the last man. Debatable, to say the very least.
:14:37. > :14:44.But out came the red card. As if that was not bad enough for Terry
:14:44. > :14:48.Butcher, from the resultant free kick come up stepped Tom Hateley.
:14:48. > :14:52.3-2 to Motherwell with three minutes to play. Victory for
:14:52. > :14:58.Motherwell. Another infuriating day for Inverness boss Terry Butcher.
:14:58. > :15:06.Caley Thistle stubbornly refusing to budge but off the bottom of the
:15:06. > :15:10.A lot of talking points about decisions having been made one way
:15:10. > :15:20.or another. This was Josh Meekings, the young right-back for Inverness
:15:20. > :15:20.
:15:20. > :15:27.he went in, Steven Hammell stretchered off. A yellow card. Was
:15:27. > :15:33.that the right ruling? Oh dear, I get confused. He hasn't gone in
:15:33. > :15:40.with two feet so it is not a two- footed challenge. But could you say
:15:40. > :15:45.it was reckless? Possibly. Possibly. I don't think he got the ball. It
:15:45. > :15:54.is hard. I honestly don't know what constitutes a red card these days.
:15:54. > :15:58.He certainly lunch, not with two feet but Wonford. -- lunched. Let's
:15:58. > :16:02.say he got away with it, shall we say? He got away with that one. The
:16:02. > :16:07.yellow card, it could have been red. Chris Hogg did not get away with
:16:07. > :16:12.this. Judge, clearly, to be an obvious goalscoring opportunity. It
:16:12. > :16:15.is nothing to do with the last man, it is an obvious goalscoring
:16:15. > :16:20.opportunity and Hogg was adjudged to have stopped that for Jamie
:16:20. > :16:23.Murphy. It is arguable. Even stopping an obvious goalscoring
:16:23. > :16:28.opportunity, would somebody have made a challenge before they had a
:16:28. > :16:32.chance to shoot? I don't know. I thought it was a little bit harsh.
:16:32. > :16:37.I did not see that as an obvious goalscoring opportunity. I thought
:16:37. > :16:41.a covering player might have stopped him from getting a shot.
:16:41. > :16:47.Again, it is extremely difficult for me tonight. It is like
:16:47. > :16:54.Crimewatch. One thing after another, all of them about red cards and
:16:54. > :16:58.such. It was slightly harsh -- harsh. We will stops like --
:16:58. > :17:02.shining delighted you're right! You did not want to be near Terry
:17:02. > :17:06.Butcher yesterday because he was liable to keep you and he felt his
:17:06. > :17:10.luck had deserted him at this point. The free kick had been given, it
:17:10. > :17:15.comes off Johnny Hayes and maybe it was going wide, had it not hit him.
:17:15. > :17:20.I like to have a stable wall. What happens there is there is an added
:17:20. > :17:25.factor, Johnny Hayes joining the end of the ball. It does not help
:17:25. > :17:29.the goalkeeper. The Motherwell player moves towards the end of the
:17:29. > :17:34.wall and it catches him as he is on his way into the wall. I think you
:17:34. > :17:40.are right, it was going wide of the goal. It is an added factor that
:17:40. > :17:44.the goalkeeper did not have a chance to adjust. That is
:17:44. > :17:48.unfortunate. Terry will be thinking to himself, maybe it was harsh
:17:48. > :17:53.getting a player sent off and the goal from the deflection. He was
:17:53. > :17:56.upset. Maybe the referee's supervisor was having a fake --
:17:56. > :18:01.finger wagged towards him. Let's look at how the season has panned
:18:02. > :18:06.out for Motherwell. 26 points from 13 games, they have never been
:18:06. > :18:10.lower than third. When you look at those three defeats, two would
:18:10. > :18:18.worry against a Old Firm teams. If you take that out, it is losing one
:18:18. > :18:20.out of 11. Quite remarkable. Since Stewart has gone in there, he has
:18:20. > :18:24.steadied the ship initially and there has been a definite
:18:24. > :18:30.improvement. Like a lot of the teams, I speak to Kenny Black
:18:30. > :18:34.fairly regularly, they have quite a strong squad, you feel, but they do
:18:34. > :18:38.not have a big squad, if that makes sense. If they have any serious
:18:38. > :18:42.injuries to some key players. Havel. The that is the type of
:18:42. > :18:47.thing I am talking about. He will hope it is not too serious and he
:18:47. > :18:52.is back in the team as quickly as possible. Celtic played Hibernian
:18:52. > :18:57.for the second time in four days and it was after the League Cup
:18:57. > :19:05.come back on Wednesday night. Mulgrew missed the match in
:19:05. > :19:15.Edinburgh but he was fit to return at Celtic Park. He has made four
:19:15. > :19:25.
:19:25. > :19:35.Celtic and Rangers. They know they need to try and get back into this
:19:35. > :19:48.
:19:48. > :19:58.squirmed away from him. Look at the reaction after do the 17th minute
:19:58. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:30.start. They lost four goals to the got on the scoresheet -- on
:20:30. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :21:00.Forrest was the scourge of Hibs at did not seem to be too much bother
:21:00. > :21:00.
:21:00. > :21:55.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:21:55. > :21:59.from Hibs, particularly from Leigh was beaten. Forrest lets fly.
:21:59. > :22:09.Celtic have struggled to get going today. They may be about to pay a
:22:09. > :22:39.
:22:39. > :22:42.that flash past. It was well wide three behind Motherwell with a game
:22:42. > :22:46.in hand. The defending has been heavily criticised already this
:22:46. > :22:52.season. Yesterday the problem seemed to be cutting edge. Yes,
:22:52. > :22:56.that has not been a problem for them. It was good play, a good
:22:56. > :23:01.combination play between the strikers. Hooper has been out for a
:23:01. > :23:06.while, a little bit rusty ethic. But I think in this game a lot of
:23:06. > :23:13.credit has to be did great shock from James Forrest, who has been on
:23:13. > :23:17.fire recently. -- great shot. are about to mending -- mentioned
:23:17. > :23:21.are defending. But killed -- particularly at Celtic Park, if
:23:21. > :23:25.this is the best of the chances that Hibs have done a fantastic job.
:23:25. > :23:29.Particularly after what happened in the cup tie midweek, when they got
:23:29. > :23:34.a bit of a chasing at home. That would have heard them. In all
:23:34. > :23:37.credit to Kit Hibs, they have come out and defended very solidly by
:23:37. > :23:41.the looks of things and I'm sure Colin will be very happy with that.
:23:41. > :23:44.It has already a tough situation for Celtic to be and there may even
:23:44. > :23:48.this early in the season. Being Celtic manager I would imagine can
:23:48. > :23:51.be a great job when things are going well but at the moment for
:23:51. > :23:54.Neil Lennon, he is looking for answers and maybe at times everyone
:23:54. > :23:59.reckoned they known better than he does. I tell you, he will be
:23:59. > :24:03.frustrated, that is for sure. I have not seen every minute of every
:24:03. > :24:07.Celtic match this season but what I have seen as a team who were a bit
:24:07. > :24:13.Jekyll-and-Hyde. Sometimes they play fantastically well. Other
:24:13. > :24:16.times they struggle to get going. At times within the same game. They
:24:16. > :24:22.are very unpredictable. I spoke earlier on about Rangers having
:24:22. > :24:26.this kind of solid feel to them, being very clinical in their
:24:26. > :24:32.finishing and Celtic for me at this time do not have that same solidity
:24:32. > :24:37.to them. That is evident by their league position and points and such
:24:37. > :24:40.like just now. Dundee United have tonight given a vote of confidence
:24:40. > :24:47.manager Peter Houston. There has been lots of speculation about his
:24:47. > :24:57.future on the back of United's shock defeat in a league Cup
:24:57. > :25:00.
:25:00. > :25:05.Falkirk. He takes it. Falkirk are in the second -- to the final of
:25:05. > :25:10.the League Cup. Dundee United looking to bounce
:25:10. > :25:13.back. Both these sides have been sliding
:25:13. > :25:18.down the table in recent weeks, Dundee United making the early
:25:18. > :25:24.running here. Paul Dixon, what a hit from the full-back. The
:25:24. > :25:28.visitors have an early breakthrough. On the half volley that is a
:25:28. > :25:38.screamer from Dixon and two absolutely no chance for the
:25:38. > :25:51.
:25:51. > :25:56.lead. Dixon clearly full of confidence took this shot from
:25:56. > :26:06.distance and it broke so kindly for Dalla Valle. Claims of handball but
:26:06. > :26:31.
:26:31. > :26:41.Mason. It was a straight leg with have come more game to scoring.
:26:41. > :27:03.
:27:04. > :27:13.surprise it is Andy Kirk Hill has got it. They do get a bit of luck
:27:14. > :27:20.
:27:20. > :27:26.there but the ball comes right into back of the net. United restored
:27:26. > :27:30.two goal lead. The goalkeeper could not gather around the acrobatic
:27:30. > :27:40.effort from Russell has United back in command and surely the three
:27:40. > :27:54.
:27:54. > :27:59.Russell. Twice he fails to add a 4th for United. The Dunfermline
:28:00. > :28:09.management team tries to plot a way back into the match. It will not
:28:10. > :28:27.
:28:27. > :28:34.fall for them in the box. It is a Mackay-Steven with the finish. The
:28:34. > :28:44.substitutes adds to Dunfermline's woes. Excellent play on the break.
:28:44. > :28:51.
:28:52. > :28:56.The sliced finished -- finish it past Paul Gallagher.
:28:56. > :29:01.You obviously Peter's predecessor. Can you understand were all this
:29:01. > :29:06.fuss has come from? It is ridiculous. I am a bit angry
:29:06. > :29:10.because Dundee United should have come out before now and dismiss
:29:10. > :29:18.this nonsense. Somebody behind the scenes has been briefing the press.
:29:18. > :29:25.It is disgraceful. Peter Houston has had a difficult job this last
:29:25. > :29:29.season. When I was there, we have to start again and build the team.
:29:29. > :29:33.He has to start again almost. He has had a his wage bill cuts, he
:29:33. > :29:39.has lost his best players and bringing young players through. The
:29:40. > :29:46.club should have come out and said, we are going through a traditional
:29:46. > :29:51.bash macro transitional period. Could there have been irreparable
:29:51. > :29:56.damage in terms of Peter's relationship with the board? I do
:29:56. > :30:00.not know that. It is hard enough being a football manager these days,
:30:00. > :30:04.particularly when you have the kind of record Peter has got an for
:30:04. > :30:08.people to question you when you lose your best players. I feel very
:30:08. > :30:13.strongly about it. I am glad to see there has been a statement made,
:30:13. > :30:19.but it should have been made earlier. I know you have a question
:30:19. > :30:25.about refereeing decisions. Gary Mason saw the red card for his
:30:25. > :30:33.challenge on Johnny Russell. Was it harsh? A very harsh. To reach that
:30:33. > :30:39.ball, his leg had to be straight. It is impossible to tackle when you
:30:39. > :30:43.have a straight leg, he is at ground height, he has got to the
:30:43. > :30:47.ball first. I think it is very harsh. We looked at some of those
:30:47. > :30:53.challenges earlier on when people went to over the top of the ball
:30:53. > :30:57.and lunging the two feet or what ever. It might be questionable if
:30:57. > :31:04.he has gone quite hard for the ball, but to be sent off for that, I
:31:04. > :31:14.think it is very harsh. Dunfermline will appeal it. There is no
:31:14. > :31:18.
:31:18. > :31:28.replacement for Derek McInnes. As well as having lost their manager,
:31:28. > :31:29.
:31:29. > :31:34.it's Derek McInnes, they have lost their goalscoring mojos. The shot
:31:34. > :31:44.going out for a throw-in. Danny Lennon it was keeping the officials
:31:44. > :31:44.
:31:44. > :31:52.sweet. They have a young midfielder, McLean does. He is a touch of class
:31:52. > :32:01.and only kept at bay here from and good save. St Johnstone had their
:32:01. > :32:11.chances. Sheridan kept doubts by a combination of Craig could win and
:32:11. > :32:16.
:32:16. > :32:26.John Samson. He the ball was rifled home and have nine minutes from
:32:26. > :32:26.
:32:26. > :32:33.time. McLean. Steven Thompson with the knock-down and none of the St
:32:33. > :32:40.Johnstone players picking up the teenager's runs. He almost got two.
:32:40. > :32:47.The suicidal defending from Stephen Andersson. McLean with the shot,
:32:47. > :32:51.but at least the goalkeeper saved this one.
:32:52. > :32:58.Kenny McLean is a name that comes up a lot when you ask people about
:32:58. > :33:04.promising players. He is 19 and obviously you know a lot about him?
:33:04. > :33:13.Billy knows more about him than I do, but he is one we have got our
:33:13. > :33:17.eye on. The position he plays in makes it much more difficult. I'm
:33:17. > :33:21.talking about the national team, it is difficult for midfield players
:33:21. > :33:25.to get into the team. But if he keeps doing that type of thing, it
:33:25. > :33:31.is not long before he will be knocking at the door. I would love
:33:31. > :33:37.to see Scottish teams giving young Scottish players a chance. At
:33:37. > :33:41.Dundee United the young guys coming through. That is happening right
:33:41. > :33:47.across Scottish football. It is encouraging for the national team.
:33:47. > :33:57.Hearts fans had come to dread the visit of Kilmarnock. They want to
:33:57. > :34:16.
:34:16. > :34:26.complete a hat-trick of wins. hearts and Kilmarnock with Paul
:34:26. > :34:43.
:34:43. > :34:52.a year. Bash macro has not scored. He is taken out later by Ian Black
:34:52. > :34:56.and the referee has given a red card. And no hesitation. Dean
:34:56. > :35:02.Shiels got the ball and put it away and Ian Black followed through with
:35:02. > :35:06.his left leg. And Ian Black for the second time this season is sent off.
:35:06. > :35:16.He was offering his jersey to the 4th official because he does not
:35:16. > :35:21.
:35:22. > :35:31.need it any more after that they have continued to press and
:35:32. > :35:37.
:35:37. > :35:41.make the running in this match. -- Hearts. Up it was a shout for
:35:41. > :35:51.handball. The referee is not interested. Kilmarnock bring it
:35:51. > :35:51.
:35:51. > :36:31.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds
:36:31. > :36:37.captain. This is a great reaction a chance for Hearts and four Skacel
:36:37. > :36:47.to start the second half perfectly. Stevenson flick it on, it was
:36:47. > :36:54.
:36:54. > :37:00.nearly four -- really Goal macro -- now. He seemed to take an age.
:37:00. > :37:03.Zaliukas not to him in the back, it was enough to send him down.
:37:03. > :37:06.Zaliukas certainly stick caught the striker and he should go off but it
:37:06. > :37:16.is only yellow, not a goalscoring opportunity according to the
:37:16. > :37:19.
:37:19. > :37:29.referee. Dean Shiels will have a take the lead after 54 minutes and
:37:29. > :37:50.
:37:50. > :37:54.Dean Shiels straight down the referee. Paulo Sergio is being sent
:37:54. > :37:59.off and he is furious. He is telling the referee he should spend
:37:59. > :38:05.the time in the stand. Paulo Sergio may have to be escorted out of here,
:38:05. > :38:15.the Hearts boss sent to the start dance. Dashed to the stand. He has
:38:15. > :38:24.
:38:24. > :38:33.from Silva. Yet to score this season, came close. Looking on,
:38:33. > :38:43.Paulo Sergio. He would love Hearts to get an equaliser. Concern for
:38:43. > :38:46.
:38:46. > :38:56.Shiels. Kilmarnock should have had What a finish to the match that
:38:56. > :39:02.
:39:02. > :39:06.would have been. In stoppage time, of Gary Mason. I don't think Hearts,
:39:06. > :39:13.although with Hearts you never know, taking the same course of action
:39:13. > :39:16.from Ian Black. He us, that was silly. I can understand Gary Mason
:39:16. > :39:22.going to win the ball, he does when the ball, his eyes are on the ball.
:39:22. > :39:29.But this, I don't know what he's thinking of here. You can't when
:39:29. > :39:33.that ball. Can't win it. He goes over the top. The referee thinks --
:39:34. > :39:37.I don't think has any choice. Renault Hearts are upset but in all
:39:37. > :39:41.honesty, particularly the way the game is going nowadays, I think it
:39:41. > :39:46.was the sending of. Hearts looking for a penalty here. The first time
:39:46. > :39:50.I saw it I thought, no, I watched it again and it looks as if it is a
:39:50. > :39:54.misplaced header that might be going through to Skacel. I just
:39:54. > :39:59.wonder whether it was a reaction by the defender to knock the ball away
:39:59. > :40:03.with his hand. This was a penalty given against Zaliukas on her for
:40:03. > :40:08.them. It might have been a red card as well, possibly. Hirvonen does
:40:08. > :40:13.well because he cuts across and Zaliukas. Zaliukas grabs hold of
:40:13. > :40:18.him outside the box. The mistakes he make his keeping hold of her
:40:18. > :40:24.inside the box and that allows him to go to ground. Paulo Sergio was
:40:24. > :40:30.getting a bit angry about one or two decisions that have happened.
:40:30. > :40:34.Yes, we blurred the register because lip readers out there would
:40:34. > :40:37.have sensed exactly what he was saying to the officials and might
:40:37. > :40:43.get some worse punishment on the back of what has happened already.
:40:43. > :40:48.He is due up on Thursday for his criticism of the riots. Hearts'
:40:48. > :40:55.disciplinary problems mount up, don't they? Yes, I have sympathy,
:40:55. > :40:58.one thing after another, they were not solely to blame for that. But
:40:58. > :41:03.the situation there, I can understand his frustration but in
:41:03. > :41:09.all honesty I would be angry at Ian Black for leaving the team to fight
:41:09. > :41:13.on with ten players and make a reckless challenge like that.
:41:13. > :41:17.Sometimes it is the easy option to target the official. I have done it
:41:17. > :41:21.myself! I do understand his frustration. I thought it might
:41:21. > :41:24.have had a penalty. There was possibly an intention by the
:41:25. > :41:30.Kilmarnock player to handle the ball after he realised he misplaced
:41:30. > :41:34.the set-up, so there is a degree of frustration. Losing at home to
:41:34. > :41:39.Hearts is difficult, they never liked to lose at home. You have not
:41:39. > :41:49.always been a friend of the SFA. Let's look at the Premier League
:41:49. > :42:26.
:42:26. > :42:32.to go to Cyprus on Tuesday. Will Jordan Rhodes of Huddersfield be in
:42:32. > :42:37.it? Yes, he will be. His record recently is phenomenal. He has
:42:37. > :42:40.improved enormously over the last couple of years. Some very
:42:40. > :42:46.instinctive finishes. He comes alive around the penalty box. His
:42:46. > :42:53.game has improved an awful lot outside the box as well. He is a
:42:53. > :42:58.strong lad. He has got an eye for goals. Many are one-touch finishes
:42:58. > :43:02.which tells you he is getting himself in great positions. At the
:43:02. > :43:08.game here, he shifts the ball from left to right, stroked the ball
:43:08. > :43:13.home. Yes, for me come again in the right position, he hits the target
:43:13. > :43:19.invariably. He has scored some ridiculous 13 goals in five games
:43:19. > :43:23.in recent times. He will come with us, although I have to mention that
:43:23. > :43:27.there is an important match on Monday night in Holland, the Under
:43:27. > :43:31.21 heroes come as a Jordan will possibly play some time against
:43:31. > :43:34.Cyprus and then fly to Holland. ticket you can't wait to get on
:43:34. > :43:39.with the series of friendlies leading up to qualification, which
:43:39. > :43:43.starts in about 11 months for the World Cup? Yes, the friendlies I
:43:43. > :43:46.have discovered as you go along, you discover a lot of things can
:43:46. > :43:49.have a friendly family important to get players together, to work on
:43:49. > :43:54.things in the training ground and also to have the opportunity to
:43:54. > :43:59.bond them and get them thinking together as a team, so Cyprus is a
:43:59. > :44:02.good one. They will have a game in February and also we are away for a
:44:02. > :44:06.week at the end of the season as well. I'm determined to get the
:44:06. > :44:15.boys together as of -- as often as possible. That match will be live
:44:15. > :44:19.on the BBC, in Larnaca, Cyprus. We have more Scottish football action
