With Hallowe'en only hours away, there is no disguising the pressure

:00:28.:00:33.

mounting around the Scottish football scene. SDL action coming

:00:33.:00:38.

your weight and the thought of the Scotland manager. Rangers are were

:00:38.:00:43.

at Pittodrie yesterday. Alan McCoist's team homing in on another

:00:43.:00:51.

away win in the SPL and on the brink of becoming record-breakers.

:00:51.:01:01.
:01:01.:01:01.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:01:01.:01:44.

roadshow are already without Ryan Rangers a unbeaten S Pill record

:01:45.:01:54.
:01:55.:02:20.

wasn't the best of challenges. It was quite a nasty one but Naysmith

:02:20.:02:30.
:02:30.:02:42.

seems to have come off worse. No distress what nobody near him. It

:02:42.:02:49.

looks like bad news for Rangers. He just collapses in apparent agony.

:02:49.:02:56.

This is not a pleasant sight for the Rangers bench. He has been one

:02:56.:03:06.
:03:06.:03:06.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:03:06.:03:46.

Sasa Papac saw it late and he waves away the protests. Craig

:03:46.:03:56.
:03:56.:04:14.

Brown is furious. The not a lot of with a sense of purpose that it was

:04:14.:04:24.
:04:24.:04:39.

not there in the first half. It Kyle Lafferty on as a substitute.

:04:39.:04:42.

Rangers have been knocking on the door in the second half and

:04:42.:04:51.

eventually the pressure pays off. Richard Foster slipped, perhaps

:04:51.:05:01.
:05:01.:05:05.

crucially. Gonzalez beaten at last. Confidence flowing through the

:05:05.:05:13.

Rangers ranks. Penalty for Rangers! Mac t cannot believe it. There was

:05:13.:05:22.

no doubt in the referee's mind. Just a yellow card for Mackie. Not

:05:22.:05:28.

an obvious goalscoring opportunities. Sasa Papac wins his

:05:28.:05:38.
:05:38.:05:38.

side a penalty. Jelavic, straight down the middle! It looks very much

:05:38.:05:43.

like an their 100% record on the road is going to remain intact.

:05:43.:05:49.

Plenty to think about now for the Aberdeen manager. Richard Foster

:05:49.:05:57.

picks this up. An attempt on goal and he has found it! What a blunder

:05:57.:06:03.

by the goalkeeper. He is berating his defence, but only he can be

:06:03.:06:11.

blamed for this one. It is a decent enough strike by Richard Foster.

:06:11.:06:16.

Rangers concede on the road in the S P L. The first time he has made a

:06:16.:06:25.

mistake this season. He has had plenty of good saves as well. It is

:06:25.:06:31.

a straight red for Rory Fallon. He had already been booked, but that

:06:31.:06:37.

is a straight red card. The goal -- referee has obviously seen what he

:06:38.:06:43.

believes to be an elbow. A victory at a cost, because that

:06:43.:06:45.

does not look good for Steven does not look good for Steven

:06:45.:06:50.

Naismith? Unfortunately, it looks a very much like a cruciate ligament

:06:50.:06:55.

problem. And little bit late with a challenge here and I think this is

:06:55.:07:00.

where he twists his knee. I think where he twists his knee. I think

:07:00.:07:07.

his studs catch in the shin. Milsom is injured as well? There has been

:07:07.:07:17.

a shift to have torn his cruciate. It is very similar, I have done it

:07:17.:07:21.

plenty of times. When you have done it, you feel you can get up and run

:07:22.:07:26.

because it does not feel so bad. It is very loose and unstable and he

:07:26.:07:36.

went down. I wouldn't like to say what the problem is. I hope I am

:07:36.:07:42.

wrong. But it does not look great. He would be a big miss for Rangers?

:07:42.:07:47.

And for the Scotland national team because his improvement in the last

:07:47.:07:52.

couple of years has been phenomenal. I feel for him. I know he did have

:07:52.:07:56.

a problem previously when he missed a lot of matches. The last couple

:07:57.:08:02.

of years he has got him back into the Rangers team and a regular in

:08:02.:08:05.

the Scotland team. Clinical finishing is what Rangers do at the

:08:06.:08:12.

moment. They did not have too many chances at Tynecastle last weekend,

:08:12.:08:21.

and it seemed the same at Pittodrie? I have watched Kyle

:08:21.:08:26.

Lafferty recently score a number of goals from similar positions. And a

:08:26.:08:30.

stake in the Aberdeen defence but he gets a good body position and

:08:30.:08:34.

that driven first time across the goalkeeper, I think it is a

:08:34.:08:40.

trademark. This, I think Sasa Papac has been very clever. He put his

:08:40.:08:45.

right foot across in front of the defender. Because of that, there is

:08:45.:08:50.

no doubt there would be contact. Put away very easily. Then we have

:08:50.:08:56.

this of course. Quite uncharacteristic for the goalkeeper.

:08:56.:09:02.

Almost thinking, it is straight at me and I will catch this. And then

:09:02.:09:07.

he is on to the next move. It is an error. Nobody needs to tell him

:09:07.:09:13.

that. Maybe we draw a line under these mistakes by Allan McGregor

:09:13.:09:18.

because they don't happen very often? He is quality, and if he

:09:18.:09:28.
:09:28.:09:31.

does make a mistake, he is not doing them often. Rory Fallon sent

:09:31.:09:36.

off, but he was shown a straight red card which adds to his crime

:09:36.:09:41.

count over the season. It upset Craig Brown. Do you feel for him

:09:41.:09:47.

here? A little bit, but when you raise your elbow above head height.

:09:47.:09:53.

When you put your arm on the player's shoulders to gain momentum

:09:53.:09:58.

to jump, with the elbow being so high, I think you leave yourself

:09:58.:10:03.

open to that type of thing happening. I don't think there was

:10:03.:10:07.

any malicious intent, but it was still a bit obvious with his arm

:10:07.:10:12.

being raised so high. You got a pat on the back in your day when you

:10:12.:10:15.

did that rather than a red card? You cannot compare what happened in

:10:16.:10:21.

the physical nature of football to what is happening now. Some ways it

:10:21.:10:25.

is for the better, but in other ways, it takes some of the blood

:10:25.:10:31.

and guts out of the game, which is part of the Scottish game. Just a

:10:31.:10:38.

word about Rangers's phenomenal record this season? Yes, until it

:10:38.:10:43.

was mentioned, I did not realise the run had extended into last

:10:43.:10:49.

season. Alastair is doing a wonderful job. They looked solid.

:10:49.:10:53.

It does not look like they will lose a lot of goals. Every time

:10:53.:10:57.

they make a chance they seem to be hitting the target or something

:10:57.:11:02.

coming from it. And there is a solid feel about them. Motherwell

:11:02.:11:06.

have to win in Inverness to make sure they kept hold of second place.

:11:06.:11:16.
:11:16.:11:16.

Caledonian Thistle desperate to get out of bottom spot.

:11:16.:11:23.

It would be a good start for the side bottom of the S P L. Davis

:11:23.:11:30.

with a 12 at the edge of the box with Shinnie. The strike coming in

:11:30.:11:39.

the 4th minute. -- 1-2. A cold wet afternoon in Inverness would get

:11:39.:11:46.

even more miserable for Motherwell. Stevie Hammell chopped down,

:11:46.:11:51.

whether a terrible challenge and the Inverness defender escaped with

:11:51.:11:56.

the yellow card. But it was game over for Hammell who was

:11:56.:12:00.

stretchered off. There has been plenty of enterprise with Inverness

:12:00.:12:10.
:12:10.:12:15.

this season. The goalkeeper was tested. But, six minutes before

:12:15.:12:19.

half-time from a corner, Tom Hateley got another chance to cross

:12:19.:12:23.

the ball. His second attempt at finding the head of Shaun

:12:23.:12:30.

Hutchinson, who almost got his head ripped off in the celebrations. 1-1

:12:30.:12:35.

the score. Inverness unable to keep the back door shut at this season.

:12:36.:12:40.

Suddenly it was Motherwell on top. Jamie Murphy spinning the ball in

:12:41.:12:46.

from my left. This would have been some goal. The ball striking the

:12:46.:12:52.

bar, but at 1-1 is how it finished at half-time. This game would have

:12:52.:13:02.
:13:02.:13:04.

a bit of everything, a one to two between Shinnie and Andrew tardy,

:13:04.:13:09.

saw them back to the crossbar. From a corner, the Frenchman found the

:13:09.:13:15.

ball at his feet in the box. A great save from the goalkeeper and

:13:15.:13:18.

the Motherwell defence scrambled it's clear it in desperate fashion

:13:18.:13:26.

to say the least. Jonny Hayes was introduced and the No. 7 was

:13:26.:13:31.

involved as Inverness took the lead once again. Shinnie weaving into

:13:31.:13:38.

the box and finding the finish. The goal coming in the 76th minute and

:13:38.:13:44.

Caley Thistle suddenly in sight of the winning line. But, there was

:13:44.:13:49.

still a lot of football to be played. A good tackle from Shaun

:13:49.:13:52.

Hutchinson gave Keith Lasley the chance to power forward for

:13:52.:13:55.

Motherwell and the midfielder unleashed a shot which deceived

:13:55.:14:05.
:14:05.:14:10.

crazy in the air and the 32-year- old with his 4th goal of the season

:14:10.:14:15.

has -- this Gornell, 2-2. The pace of Jamie Murphy came into play. The

:14:16.:14:23.

striker brought down by a player on the edge of the box. The referee

:14:23.:14:30.

decided Hogg had been the last man. Debatable, to say the very least.

:14:30.:14:37.

But out came the red card. As if that was not bad enough for Terry

:14:37.:14:44.

Butcher, from the resultant free kick come up stepped Tom Hateley.

:14:44.:14:48.

3-2 to Motherwell with three minutes to play. Victory for

:14:48.:14:52.

Motherwell. Another infuriating day for Inverness boss Terry Butcher.

:14:52.:14:58.

Caley Thistle stubbornly refusing to budge but off the bottom of the

:14:58.:15:06.

A lot of talking points about decisions having been made one way

:15:06.:15:10.

or another. This was Josh Meekings, the young right-back for Inverness

:15:10.:15:20.
:15:20.:15:20.

he went in, Steven Hammell stretchered off. A yellow card. Was

:15:20.:15:27.

that the right ruling? Oh dear, I get confused. He hasn't gone in

:15:27.:15:33.

with two feet so it is not a two- footed challenge. But could you say

:15:33.:15:40.

it was reckless? Possibly. Possibly. I don't think he got the ball. It

:15:40.:15:45.

is hard. I honestly don't know what constitutes a red card these days.

:15:45.:15:54.

He certainly lunch, not with two feet but Wonford. -- lunched. Let's

:15:54.:15:58.

say he got away with it, shall we say? He got away with that one. The

:15:58.:16:02.

yellow card, it could have been red. Chris Hogg did not get away with

:16:02.:16:07.

this. Judge, clearly, to be an obvious goalscoring opportunity. It

:16:07.:16:12.

is nothing to do with the last man, it is an obvious goalscoring

:16:12.:16:15.

opportunity and Hogg was adjudged to have stopped that for Jamie

:16:15.:16:20.

Murphy. It is arguable. Even stopping an obvious goalscoring

:16:20.:16:23.

opportunity, would somebody have made a challenge before they had a

:16:23.:16:28.

chance to shoot? I don't know. I thought it was a little bit harsh.

:16:28.:16:32.

I did not see that as an obvious goalscoring opportunity. I thought

:16:32.:16:37.

a covering player might have stopped him from getting a shot.

:16:37.:16:41.

Again, it is extremely difficult for me tonight. It is like

:16:41.:16:47.

Crimewatch. One thing after another, all of them about red cards and

:16:47.:16:54.

such. It was slightly harsh -- harsh. We will stops like --

:16:54.:16:58.

shining delighted you're right! You did not want to be near Terry

:16:58.:17:02.

Butcher yesterday because he was liable to keep you and he felt his

:17:02.:17:06.

luck had deserted him at this point. The free kick had been given, it

:17:06.:17:10.

comes off Johnny Hayes and maybe it was going wide, had it not hit him.

:17:10.:17:15.

I like to have a stable wall. What happens there is there is an added

:17:15.:17:20.

factor, Johnny Hayes joining the end of the ball. It does not help

:17:20.:17:25.

the goalkeeper. The Motherwell player moves towards the end of the

:17:25.:17:29.

wall and it catches him as he is on his way into the wall. I think you

:17:29.:17:34.

are right, it was going wide of the goal. It is an added factor that

:17:34.:17:40.

the goalkeeper did not have a chance to adjust. That is

:17:40.:17:44.

unfortunate. Terry will be thinking to himself, maybe it was harsh

:17:44.:17:48.

getting a player sent off and the goal from the deflection. He was

:17:48.:17:53.

upset. Maybe the referee's supervisor was having a fake --

:17:53.:17:56.

finger wagged towards him. Let's look at how the season has panned

:17:56.:18:01.

out for Motherwell. 26 points from 13 games, they have never been

:18:02.:18:06.

lower than third. When you look at those three defeats, two would

:18:06.:18:10.

worry against a Old Firm teams. If you take that out, it is losing one

:18:10.:18:18.

out of 11. Quite remarkable. Since Stewart has gone in there, he has

:18:18.:18:20.

steadied the ship initially and there has been a definite

:18:20.:18:24.

improvement. Like a lot of the teams, I speak to Kenny Black

:18:24.:18:30.

fairly regularly, they have quite a strong squad, you feel, but they do

:18:30.:18:34.

not have a big squad, if that makes sense. If they have any serious

:18:34.:18:38.

injuries to some key players. Havel. The that is the type of

:18:38.:18:42.

thing I am talking about. He will hope it is not too serious and he

:18:42.:18:47.

is back in the team as quickly as possible. Celtic played Hibernian

:18:47.:18:52.

for the second time in four days and it was after the League Cup

:18:52.:18:57.

come back on Wednesday night. Mulgrew missed the match in

:18:57.:19:05.

Edinburgh but he was fit to return at Celtic Park. He has made four

:19:05.:19:15.
:19:15.:19:25.

Celtic and Rangers. They know they need to try and get back into this

:19:25.:19:35.
:19:35.:19:48.

squirmed away from him. Look at the reaction after do the 17th minute

:19:48.:19:58.
:19:58.:20:20.

start. They lost four goals to the got on the scoresheet -- on

:20:20.:20:30.
:20:30.:20:50.

Forrest was the scourge of Hibs at did not seem to be too much bother

:20:50.:21:00.
:21:00.:21:00.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:21:00.:21:55.

from Hibs, particularly from Leigh was beaten. Forrest lets fly.

:21:55.:21:59.

Celtic have struggled to get going today. They may be about to pay a

:21:59.:22:09.
:22:09.:22:39.

that flash past. It was well wide three behind Motherwell with a game

:22:39.:22:42.

in hand. The defending has been heavily criticised already this

:22:42.:22:46.

season. Yesterday the problem seemed to be cutting edge. Yes,

:22:46.:22:52.

that has not been a problem for them. It was good play, a good

:22:52.:22:56.

combination play between the strikers. Hooper has been out for a

:22:56.:23:01.

while, a little bit rusty ethic. But I think in this game a lot of

:23:01.:23:06.

credit has to be did great shock from James Forrest, who has been on

:23:06.:23:13.

fire recently. -- great shot. are about to mending -- mentioned

:23:13.:23:17.

are defending. But killed -- particularly at Celtic Park, if

:23:17.:23:21.

this is the best of the chances that Hibs have done a fantastic job.

:23:21.:23:25.

Particularly after what happened in the cup tie midweek, when they got

:23:25.:23:29.

a bit of a chasing at home. That would have heard them. In all

:23:29.:23:34.

credit to Kit Hibs, they have come out and defended very solidly by

:23:34.:23:37.

the looks of things and I'm sure Colin will be very happy with that.

:23:37.:23:41.

It has already a tough situation for Celtic to be and there may even

:23:41.:23:44.

this early in the season. Being Celtic manager I would imagine can

:23:44.:23:48.

be a great job when things are going well but at the moment for

:23:48.:23:51.

Neil Lennon, he is looking for answers and maybe at times everyone

:23:51.:23:54.

reckoned they known better than he does. I tell you, he will be

:23:54.:23:59.

frustrated, that is for sure. I have not seen every minute of every

:23:59.:24:03.

Celtic match this season but what I have seen as a team who were a bit

:24:03.:24:07.

Jekyll-and-Hyde. Sometimes they play fantastically well. Other

:24:07.:24:13.

times they struggle to get going. At times within the same game. They

:24:13.:24:16.

are very unpredictable. I spoke earlier on about Rangers having

:24:16.:24:22.

this kind of solid feel to them, being very clinical in their

:24:22.:24:26.

finishing and Celtic for me at this time do not have that same solidity

:24:26.:24:32.

to them. That is evident by their league position and points and such

:24:32.:24:37.

like just now. Dundee United have tonight given a vote of confidence

:24:37.:24:40.

manager Peter Houston. There has been lots of speculation about his

:24:40.:24:47.

future on the back of United's shock defeat in a league Cup

:24:47.:24:57.
:24:57.:25:00.

Falkirk. He takes it. Falkirk are in the second -- to the final of

:25:00.:25:05.

the League Cup. Dundee United looking to bounce

:25:05.:25:10.

back. Both these sides have been sliding

:25:10.:25:13.

down the table in recent weeks, Dundee United making the early

:25:13.:25:18.

running here. Paul Dixon, what a hit from the full-back. The

:25:18.:25:24.

visitors have an early breakthrough. On the half volley that is a

:25:24.:25:28.

screamer from Dixon and two absolutely no chance for the

:25:28.:25:38.
:25:38.:25:51.

lead. Dixon clearly full of confidence took this shot from

:25:51.:25:56.

distance and it broke so kindly for Dalla Valle. Claims of handball but

:25:56.:26:06.
:26:06.:26:31.

Mason. It was a straight leg with have come more game to scoring.

:26:31.:26:41.
:26:41.:27:03.

surprise it is Andy Kirk Hill has got it. They do get a bit of luck

:27:04.:27:13.
:27:14.:27:20.

there but the ball comes right into back of the net. United restored

:27:20.:27:26.

two goal lead. The goalkeeper could not gather around the acrobatic

:27:26.:27:30.

effort from Russell has United back in command and surely the three

:27:30.:27:40.
:27:40.:27:54.

Russell. Twice he fails to add a 4th for United. The Dunfermline

:27:54.:27:59.

management team tries to plot a way back into the match. It will not

:28:00.:28:09.
:28:10.:28:27.

fall for them in the box. It is a Mackay-Steven with the finish. The

:28:27.:28:34.

substitutes adds to Dunfermline's woes. Excellent play on the break.

:28:34.:28:44.
:28:44.:28:51.

The sliced finished -- finish it past Paul Gallagher.

:28:52.:28:56.

You obviously Peter's predecessor. Can you understand were all this

:28:56.:29:01.

fuss has come from? It is ridiculous. I am a bit angry

:29:01.:29:06.

because Dundee United should have come out before now and dismiss

:29:06.:29:10.

this nonsense. Somebody behind the scenes has been briefing the press.

:29:10.:29:18.

It is disgraceful. Peter Houston has had a difficult job this last

:29:18.:29:25.

season. When I was there, we have to start again and build the team.

:29:25.:29:29.

He has to start again almost. He has had a his wage bill cuts, he

:29:29.:29:33.

has lost his best players and bringing young players through. The

:29:33.:29:39.

club should have come out and said, we are going through a traditional

:29:40.:29:46.

bash macro transitional period. Could there have been irreparable

:29:46.:29:51.

damage in terms of Peter's relationship with the board? I do

:29:51.:29:56.

not know that. It is hard enough being a football manager these days,

:29:56.:30:00.

particularly when you have the kind of record Peter has got an for

:30:00.:30:04.

people to question you when you lose your best players. I feel very

:30:04.:30:08.

strongly about it. I am glad to see there has been a statement made,

:30:08.:30:13.

but it should have been made earlier. I know you have a question

:30:13.:30:19.

about refereeing decisions. Gary Mason saw the red card for his

:30:19.:30:25.

challenge on Johnny Russell. Was it harsh? A very harsh. To reach that

:30:25.:30:33.

ball, his leg had to be straight. It is impossible to tackle when you

:30:33.:30:39.

have a straight leg, he is at ground height, he has got to the

:30:39.:30:43.

ball first. I think it is very harsh. We looked at some of those

challenges earlier on when people went to over the top of the ball

:30:47.:30:53.

and lunging the two feet or what ever. It might be questionable if

:30:53.:30:57.

he has gone quite hard for the ball, but to be sent off for that, I

:30:57.:31:04.

think it is very harsh. Dunfermline will appeal it. There is no

:31:04.:31:14.
:31:14.:31:18.

replacement for Derek McInnes. As well as having lost their manager,

:31:18.:31:28.
:31:28.:31:29.

it's Derek McInnes, they have lost their goalscoring mojos. The shot

:31:29.:31:34.

going out for a throw-in. Danny Lennon it was keeping the officials

:31:34.:31:44.
:31:44.:31:44.

sweet. They have a young midfielder, McLean does. He is a touch of class

:31:44.:31:52.

and only kept at bay here from and good save. St Johnstone had their

:31:52.:32:01.

chances. Sheridan kept doubts by a combination of Craig could win and

:32:01.:32:11.
:32:11.:32:16.

John Samson. He the ball was rifled home and have nine minutes from

:32:16.:32:26.
:32:26.:32:26.

time. McLean. Steven Thompson with the knock-down and none of the St

:32:26.:32:33.

Johnstone players picking up the teenager's runs. He almost got two.

:32:33.:32:40.

The suicidal defending from Stephen Andersson. McLean with the shot,

:32:40.:32:47.

but at least the goalkeeper saved this one.

:32:47.:32:51.

Kenny McLean is a name that comes up a lot when you ask people about

:32:52.:32:58.

promising players. He is 19 and obviously you know a lot about him?

:32:58.:33:04.

Billy knows more about him than I do, but he is one we have got our

:33:04.:33:13.

eye on. The position he plays in makes it much more difficult. I'm

:33:13.:33:17.

talking about the national team, it is difficult for midfield players

:33:17.:33:21.

to get into the team. But if he keeps doing that type of thing, it

:33:21.:33:25.

is not long before he will be knocking at the door. I would love

:33:25.:33:31.

to see Scottish teams giving young Scottish players a chance. At

:33:31.:33:37.

Dundee United the young guys coming through. That is happening right

:33:37.:33:41.

across Scottish football. It is encouraging for the national team.

:33:41.:33:47.

Hearts fans had come to dread the visit of Kilmarnock. They want to

:33:47.:33:57.
:33:57.:34:16.

complete a hat-trick of wins. hearts and Kilmarnock with Paul

:34:16.:34:26.
:34:26.:34:43.

a year. Bash macro has not scored. He is taken out later by Ian Black

:34:43.:34:52.

and the referee has given a red card. And no hesitation. Dean

:34:52.:34:56.

Shiels got the ball and put it away and Ian Black followed through with

:34:56.:35:02.

his left leg. And Ian Black for the second time this season is sent off.

:35:02.:35:06.

He was offering his jersey to the 4th official because he does not

:35:06.:35:16.
:35:16.:35:21.

need it any more after that they have continued to press and

:35:22.:35:31.
:35:32.:35:37.

make the running in this match. -- Hearts. Up it was a shout for

:35:37.:35:41.

handball. The referee is not interested. Kilmarnock bring it

:35:41.:35:51.
:35:51.:35:51.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 43 seconds

:35:51.:36:31.

captain. This is a great reaction a chance for Hearts and four Skacel

:36:31.:36:37.

to start the second half perfectly. Stevenson flick it on, it was

:36:37.:36:47.
:36:47.:36:54.

nearly four -- really Goal macro -- now. He seemed to take an age.

:36:54.:37:00.

Zaliukas not to him in the back, it was enough to send him down.

:37:00.:37:03.

Zaliukas certainly stick caught the striker and he should go off but it

:37:03.:37:06.

is only yellow, not a goalscoring opportunity according to the

:37:06.:37:16.
:37:16.:37:19.

referee. Dean Shiels will have a take the lead after 54 minutes and

:37:19.:37:29.
:37:29.:37:50.

Dean Shiels straight down the referee. Paulo Sergio is being sent

:37:50.:37:54.

off and he is furious. He is telling the referee he should spend

:37:54.:37:59.

the time in the stand. Paulo Sergio may have to be escorted out of here,

:37:59.:38:05.

the Hearts boss sent to the start dance. Dashed to the stand. He has

:38:05.:38:15.
:38:15.:38:24.

from Silva. Yet to score this season, came close. Looking on,

:38:24.:38:33.

Paulo Sergio. He would love Hearts to get an equaliser. Concern for

:38:33.:38:43.
:38:43.:38:46.

Shiels. Kilmarnock should have had What a finish to the match that

:38:46.:38:56.
:38:56.:39:02.

would have been. In stoppage time, of Gary Mason. I don't think Hearts,

:39:02.:39:06.

although with Hearts you never know, taking the same course of action

:39:06.:39:13.

from Ian Black. He us, that was silly. I can understand Gary Mason

:39:13.:39:16.

going to win the ball, he does when the ball, his eyes are on the ball.

:39:16.:39:22.

But this, I don't know what he's thinking of here. You can't when

:39:22.:39:29.

that ball. Can't win it. He goes over the top. The referee thinks --

:39:29.:39:33.

I don't think has any choice. Renault Hearts are upset but in all

:39:34.:39:37.

honesty, particularly the way the game is going nowadays, I think it

:39:37.:39:41.

was the sending of. Hearts looking for a penalty here. The first time

:39:41.:39:46.

I saw it I thought, no, I watched it again and it looks as if it is a

:39:46.:39:50.

misplaced header that might be going through to Skacel. I just

:39:50.:39:54.

wonder whether it was a reaction by the defender to knock the ball away

:39:54.:39:59.

with his hand. This was a penalty given against Zaliukas on her for

:39:59.:40:03.

them. It might have been a red card as well, possibly. Hirvonen does

:40:03.:40:08.

well because he cuts across and Zaliukas. Zaliukas grabs hold of

:40:08.:40:13.

him outside the box. The mistakes he make his keeping hold of her

:40:13.:40:18.

inside the box and that allows him to go to ground. Paulo Sergio was

:40:18.:40:24.

getting a bit angry about one or two decisions that have happened.

:40:24.:40:30.

Yes, we blurred the register because lip readers out there would

:40:30.:40:34.

have sensed exactly what he was saying to the officials and might

:40:34.:40:37.

get some worse punishment on the back of what has happened already.

:40:37.:40:43.

He is due up on Thursday for his criticism of the riots. Hearts'

:40:43.:40:48.

disciplinary problems mount up, don't they? Yes, I have sympathy,

:40:48.:40:55.

one thing after another, they were not solely to blame for that. But

:40:55.:40:58.

the situation there, I can understand his frustration but in

:40:58.:41:03.

all honesty I would be angry at Ian Black for leaving the team to fight

:41:03.:41:09.

on with ten players and make a reckless challenge like that.

:41:09.:41:13.

Sometimes it is the easy option to target the official. I have done it

:41:13.:41:17.

myself! I do understand his frustration. I thought it might

:41:17.:41:21.

have had a penalty. There was possibly an intention by the

:41:21.:41:24.

Kilmarnock player to handle the ball after he realised he misplaced

:41:25.:41:30.

the set-up, so there is a degree of frustration. Losing at home to

:41:30.:41:34.

Hearts is difficult, they never liked to lose at home. You have not

:41:34.:41:39.

always been a friend of the SFA. Let's look at the Premier League

:41:39.:41:49.
:41:49.:42:26.

to go to Cyprus on Tuesday. Will Jordan Rhodes of Huddersfield be in

:42:26.:42:32.

it? Yes, he will be. His record recently is phenomenal. He has

:42:32.:42:37.

improved enormously over the last couple of years. Some very

:42:37.:42:40.

instinctive finishes. He comes alive around the penalty box. His

:42:40.:42:46.

game has improved an awful lot outside the box as well. He is a

:42:46.:42:53.

strong lad. He has got an eye for goals. Many are one-touch finishes

:42:53.:42:58.

which tells you he is getting himself in great positions. At the

:42:58.:43:02.

game here, he shifts the ball from left to right, stroked the ball

:43:02.:43:08.

home. Yes, for me come again in the right position, he hits the target

:43:08.:43:13.

invariably. He has scored some ridiculous 13 goals in five games

:43:13.:43:19.

in recent times. He will come with us, although I have to mention that

:43:19.:43:23.

there is an important match on Monday night in Holland, the Under

:43:23.:43:27.

21 heroes come as a Jordan will possibly play some time against

:43:27.:43:31.

Cyprus and then fly to Holland. ticket you can't wait to get on

:43:31.:43:34.

with the series of friendlies leading up to qualification, which

:43:34.:43:39.

starts in about 11 months for the World Cup? Yes, the friendlies I

:43:39.:43:43.

have discovered as you go along, you discover a lot of things can

:43:43.:43:46.

have a friendly family important to get players together, to work on

:43:46.:43:49.

things in the training ground and also to have the opportunity to

:43:49.:43:54.

bond them and get them thinking together as a team, so Cyprus is a

:43:54.:43:59.

good one. They will have a game in February and also we are away for a

:43:59.:44:02.

week at the end of the season as well. I'm determined to get the

:44:02.:44:06.

boys together as of -- as often as possible. That match will be live

:44:06.:44:15.

on the BBC, in Larnaca, Cyprus. We have more Scottish football action

:44:15.:44:19.
