East Kilbride v Celtic

:00:00. > :00:15.Good evening and welcome to sports scene. Oh, it's unbelievable.

:00:16. > :00:26.Unbelievable! Spectacular opening goal in the Derby. It is an absolute

:00:27. > :00:48.beauty! Is this a bit of history? It is! It's there! This is history!

:00:49. > :00:54.East Kilbride all over you this will play Celtic.

:00:55. > :00:59.Just to prove dreams can come true, East Kilbride have earned a

:01:00. > :01:05.lucrative Scottish Cup tie against Celtic. Just so delighted to be in

:01:06. > :01:12.the next round with Celtic, it feels so good to say that. Gregor, lovely

:01:13. > :01:22.ball for Griffiths! Who does what he does! And he's in amongst the goals

:01:23. > :01:26.again! Playing against Celtic, the whole town is going mental about it.

:01:27. > :01:31.They will come out all guns blazing, trying to put us under pressure, but

:01:32. > :01:39.we will be ready. Days as good a chance as everybody else. They will

:01:40. > :01:45.be up for it. Its Celtic, isn't it? It's the day of their dreams for

:01:46. > :01:51.little East Kilbride. I think you can see it written all over these

:01:52. > :01:55.faces. Billy Ogilvy, a taxi driver, leads his team off the bus. And here

:01:56. > :02:02.comes Robbie Dale and Scott Brown and Celtic with something to prove

:02:03. > :02:07.after back-to-back defeats for them -- here comes Ronny Deila. It is the

:02:08. > :02:11.day football fantasy turns into reality. For East Kilbride from the

:02:12. > :02:15.lowland Lee, they've only been in existence for a little over five

:02:16. > :02:21.years. Today they are up against the 36 times Scottish Cup winners,

:02:22. > :02:25.Celtic, here at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie. Live on the BBC

:02:26. > :02:29.in the company of these two, who between them have won the Scottish

:02:30. > :02:36.Cup seven times. Might just be for-3 Miller. Got to be Mission impossible

:02:37. > :02:41.for East Kilbride, surely? Absolutely, yeah. Celtic are huge

:02:42. > :02:45.favourites. Looking at the team, very strong starting line-up. The

:02:46. > :02:50.bench is strong as well, so I think Ronny Deila has given a huge amount

:02:51. > :02:54.of respect to the opposition. Anything other than a Celtic victory

:02:55. > :02:56.is unthinkable. Looking forward to this one we have to look back from a

:02:57. > :02:59.Celtic perspective. This time last this one we have to look back from a

:03:00. > :03:04.Sunday here is what was happening at Hampden Park. The treble dream was

:03:05. > :03:09.going up in smoke against Ross County in the League Cup semifinal,

:03:10. > :03:12.after the dream start with Gary Mackay-Steven scoring inside 27

:03:13. > :03:18.seconds. Then it started going horribly wrong. And after that

:03:19. > :03:22.start, this was the penalty, of course, once he gave the foul, Efe

:03:23. > :03:28.Ambrose was off the pitch. It was the reaction of the players after

:03:29. > :03:33.that probably. Especially when they went 2-1 down. There was no real

:03:34. > :03:36.fight. You see the goal here, and once Ross County got in front, you

:03:37. > :03:41.could not cease to coming back, that was the disappointing thing from

:03:42. > :03:47.that perspective -- you could not seek Celtic coming back. And then

:03:48. > :03:51.the next game was the Aberdeen game, getting beaten in that game, a

:03:52. > :03:55.disappointment. So they need a reaction, they need a good

:03:56. > :03:58.performance and plenty of goals. That's right, Celtic look like they

:03:59. > :04:02.have a title challenge on their hands as well, on the back of this

:04:03. > :04:07.game at Pittodrie in midweek, and Aberdeen's winning Perth yesterday.

:04:08. > :04:12.They certainly do, Aberdeen are putting in a very good challenge.

:04:13. > :04:16.For Celtic, they will be disappointed with the performance at

:04:17. > :04:20.Pittodrie. Fabulous goal from Jonny Hayes to break the deadlock, and

:04:21. > :04:25.then to lose the second goal from a set piece, I'm

:04:26. > :04:27.then to lose the second goal from a be disappointed. But the second half

:04:28. > :04:32.performance wasn't particularly good, didn't show enough fight right

:04:33. > :04:35.until the death, really, Leigh Griffiths. We know he can do

:04:36. > :04:40.something special and he did. It was a very well taken goal for him. But

:04:41. > :04:45.the second-half performance was not particularly good. Not good enough

:04:46. > :04:49.from Celtic's point of view. The fans were disappointed. Two defeats

:04:50. > :04:54.in a row, doesn't mount which manager you are, what your name is,

:04:55. > :04:56.you are under pressure. We saw them missing out on the chance of a cup

:04:57. > :05:01.final, fair missing out on the chance of a cup

:05:02. > :05:05.Kilbride's cup final. By the time they played this game against lowly

:05:06. > :05:09.of his or, they knew what the prize was. Not sure if you can hear me,

:05:10. > :05:13.but they knew what the prize was, game against Celtic live on the BBC.

:05:14. > :05:18.They knew exactly what they had to do, and what a brilliant night for

:05:19. > :05:21.them, the players, the manager, the fans, their families. You can see it

:05:22. > :05:26.in the build-up to this game. We saw them coming off the bus, it is

:05:27. > :05:30.definitely their cup final. We've been to a few ourselves and it is a

:05:31. > :05:36.special occasion when you get to a cup final. Away overnight, in a

:05:37. > :05:39.hotel, fantastic. I'm sure they've been able to get tickets for their

:05:40. > :05:44.families as well, in front of a crowd like this, some of these

:05:45. > :05:49.players will never in their lifetime get this again. Figuring you've

:05:50. > :05:55.stopped speaking because your lips have stop moving, I can't hear a

:05:56. > :05:57.thing over the PA. Part one was at Tynecastle, the Edinburgh derby,

:05:58. > :06:04.hearts against Hibs, this was the story. He Durnian celebrate a quite

:06:05. > :06:10.unbelievable comeback in a poll stating Scottish Cup tie at

:06:11. > :06:16.Tynecastle. Paul Hanlon was the man in injury time who earned them a

:06:17. > :06:20.replay after Jason Cummings had brought Hibs back into the match.

:06:21. > :06:28.They looked dead and buried at 2-0 down at half-time. Sam Nicholson had

:06:29. > :06:32.put Hearts in front at the break. Hibs pressed for a goal to get them

:06:33. > :06:38.back into the match. Alan Stubbs's side late on found themselves back

:06:39. > :06:46.in the game when Jason Cummings looped a header over Neil Alexander.

:06:47. > :06:51.It was quite astonishing when, in the dying seconds, Paul Hanlon

:06:52. > :06:55.scrambled an equaliser to send Hibs fans into raptures and earn their

:06:56. > :06:57.side a replay at Easter Road. A fascinating Edinburgh derby finished

:06:58. > :07:04.2-2. You will want to see highlights of

:07:05. > :07:08.that one, and you will want to see highlights of this one as well, and

:07:09. > :07:11.you can do tonight as well as the best of that St Johnstone Aberdeen

:07:12. > :07:19.game we have been speaking about as well from the SPF L Premiership.

:07:20. > :07:24.10:50pm tonight BBC One Scotland. Let's get the team use for this one,

:07:25. > :07:28.East Kilbride against Celtic, and firstly the team selection from

:07:29. > :07:32.Billy Ogilvy. Here's what he's put together to face the very much

:07:33. > :07:36.odds-on favourites. Three changes from the team which won in the last

:07:37. > :07:41.round of the competition. Chris Gebbie is out, Sean Winter of course

:07:42. > :07:44.is on holiday in Australia. Good timing from him, the Celtic

:07:45. > :07:50.supporter. Ross Smith out of the team as well. In comes Craig Cowie.

:07:51. > :07:55.Gavin Macklin and Fraser Johnston. And this is what they will face.

:07:56. > :08:03.Five changes for Celtic from the team beaten at Pittodrie in midweek.

:08:04. > :08:11.Craig Gordon is out. Mikael Lustig also out. Efe Ambrose, return for

:08:12. > :08:18.Charlie Mulgrew, James Forrest and Colin Kazim-Richards plays up front.

:08:19. > :08:25.Let's get the views of the two managers now, we'll hear from Ronny

:08:26. > :08:29.Deila, but first Billy Ogilvy. The dream is about to become a reality,

:08:30. > :08:35.how do you and your players feel? We are feeling very positive. We are

:08:36. > :08:48.well prepared. It's been four weeks since the draw was made and it was

:08:49. > :08:51.either us or Lothian Thistle. I said to the players they have acted so

:08:52. > :08:55.professional, with the Celtic game hanging over us. They have trained

:08:56. > :08:59.well, coped well with everything, the media and TV. They've been so

:09:00. > :09:04.professional. And now they just can't wait to get on the pitch. Dare

:09:05. > :09:10.you dream further than this? My dream is for my boys to give a good

:09:11. > :09:16.account of themselves. To show the Scottish football public how good a

:09:17. > :09:20.football team we are, and why we are at this late stage in the Scottish

:09:21. > :09:24.Cup. Do you expect to compete with Celtic today? Of course we do. We

:09:25. > :09:32.expect to make it extremely difficult for Celtic. We expect to

:09:33. > :09:36.enjoy the game. We expect to get limited time on the ball, but we

:09:37. > :09:40.want to enjoy being in possession, and we expect to take as much as we

:09:41. > :09:47.can of the game to Celtic. Thank you and good luck. It's been a tricky

:09:48. > :09:50.week for Celtic. You named a strong side this afternoon, indication you

:09:51. > :09:55.are not taking any chances today? Of course. We want to win the game,

:09:56. > :09:59.that is the most important thing. We want to have a good performance as

:10:00. > :10:04.well. We had a tough week and we want to get back on track and today

:10:05. > :10:10.is a good game to show a good performance and get the victory. In

:10:11. > :10:15.a sense, Celtic can't really win today, you are expected to win and

:10:16. > :10:19.win comfortable it. What would be an acceptable outcome? Hard to say, we

:10:20. > :10:22.have to see the performance. And going through is the most important

:10:23. > :10:26.thing. Charlie Mulgrew is back, what does he bring you that you have been

:10:27. > :10:31.missing? He is a good football player, he has been out for a long

:10:32. > :10:35.time. He played last week in the under 20 side. Good for him to get a

:10:36. > :10:40.game, some experience. He is somebody that can be important for

:10:41. > :10:46.us. Thank you and good luck. Thank you. What is the connection between

:10:47. > :10:49.the 1992 Scottish Cup final and East Kilbride? Andy Smith scoring a

:10:50. > :10:57.consolation goal for Airdrie Way back then, and check out the family

:10:58. > :11:01.likeness. That is Jack Smith, who will be the most attacking thing

:11:02. > :11:05.about East Kilbride today, does he look familiar? He certainly does.

:11:06. > :11:09.And let's hope he gets an opportunity up front to show what

:11:10. > :11:13.he's made of, certainly. His father knew the right way to goal.

:11:14. > :11:16.Hopefully East Kilbride get the opportunity to put Celtic under a

:11:17. > :11:21.little bit of pressure. I think it will be very difficult for them.

:11:22. > :11:25.Good players back, Charlie Mulgrew is back, important player for

:11:26. > :11:30.Celtic. That is significant, mole group comes back. Celtic missed him

:11:31. > :11:34.badly. I was surprised he was back, it was a shock when I looked at the

:11:35. > :11:37.team lines and he was in the team, but great to have him back.

:11:38. > :11:43.Important player, not just for Celtic but for Scotland also. On the

:11:44. > :11:47.surface like this, maybe a wee bit of a chance. When you come back to a

:11:48. > :11:51.game like this, you'll have plenty of the ball coming he will knock the

:11:52. > :11:56.ball around, we know he can pass the ball. Probably just getting him into

:11:57. > :12:00.the team is important. Big day for Charlie Mulgrew making his

:12:01. > :12:04.first-team return. What a day it is for East Kilbride. A football fairy

:12:05. > :12:08.tale, East Kilbride against Celtic for a place in the Scottish Cup

:12:09. > :12:13.quarterfinals. Just about all set to go. Teams in the tunnel here. Let's

:12:14. > :12:21.join the commentators. COMMENTATOR: Thank you. Chilly

:12:22. > :12:26.afternoon in Airdrie for what is the ultimate shot at glory. Possible

:12:27. > :12:31.once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the biggest of minnows. Has there

:12:32. > :12:38.ever been such a lopsided match up in a competitive Scottish football

:12:39. > :12:43.game? The rankest of outsiders, East Kilbride football club, of the

:12:44. > :12:50.Scottish Lowland league, dreaming of pulling off one of sport's greatest

:12:51. > :12:54.ever upsets, you would have to say. Standing in the not even

:12:55. > :12:59.six-year-old club's way is the club that has won this competition more

:13:00. > :13:05.times than anyone else. A Celtic side who have not had their troubles

:13:06. > :13:11.to seek in recent times, but they surely cannot and will not slip up

:13:12. > :13:12.against the part-timers. Craig Paterson is joining me

:13:13. > :13:17.against the part-timers. Craig today. What is going through the

:13:18. > :13:22.minds of those East Kilbride players as they walk out onto the park with

:13:23. > :13:25.Celtic to their right? Not sure about their minds but adrenaline

:13:26. > :13:29.flowing through their bodies like it never has before. Because this is

:13:30. > :13:33.the biggest game of their lives. They worked so hard to get here,

:13:34. > :13:36.they dream of doing something special, but they really want to

:13:37. > :13:39.give a good account of themselves this afternoon. And that means

:13:40. > :13:43.coming here and trying to get in the face of Celtic, trying to knock them

:13:44. > :13:48.off their stride. And from there if they could score a goal it would be

:13:49. > :13:51.wonderful, but for the first ten or 15 minutes, if East Kilbride can

:13:52. > :13:55.stop Celtic scoring, get their team into the game, they might just start

:13:56. > :14:01.to enjoy it. I have to say the early part of the game is absolutely vital

:14:02. > :14:05.for the Lowland league side, if they don't get through that early-stage

:14:06. > :14:12.unscathed, it could be a long, long afternoon for them.

:14:13. > :14:25.-- the captain knows about cup shocks, he plays in the side,

:14:26. > :14:29.19-year-old Craig Howie, Martin McBride in midfield commutes between

:14:30. > :14:32.London and Lanarkshire to play at the weekend, beside him, Frazer

:14:33. > :14:36.Johnstone is on loan from Airdrie, Ninos displays pretty well, we were

:14:37. > :14:45.focusing on him a moment ago, the son of Andy Smith. He scored in the

:14:46. > :14:52.first game against Rangers, playing up front for Adrian and 1990s. Ronny

:14:53. > :14:56.Deila has picked a strong line-up, there were those who thought he may

:14:57. > :15:01.give the fringe players they run out, but Colin Kazim-Richards starts

:15:02. > :15:06.for the first time, he was a substitute in the week. Charlie

:15:07. > :15:10.Mulgrew has missed most of the season, he is back. In goal, Logan

:15:11. > :15:16.Bailly, as he did in the last round, at Stranraer. Ryan Christie and

:15:17. > :15:19.Scott Allan have to make do with the Celtic bench again, salesman Liam

:15:20. > :15:25.Gormley was a youth player at Celtic, name checks for defender

:15:26. > :15:28.Smith who is injured, and Sean Winter, sunning himself in

:15:29. > :15:34.Australia, having scored in the last round. And the referee, former

:15:35. > :15:39.Scotland cricket captain George Salmond, 46-year-old, looked after

:15:40. > :15:45.Dumbarton's victory over Queen of the South. The number ten for East

:15:46. > :15:48.Kilbride, John Brady, 22 today, what a birthday! He gets a chance to pit

:15:49. > :15:55.his wits against the Scottish champions. Billy Ogilvie, East

:15:56. > :16:02.Kilbride head coach, taxi driver by trade. He was joking that he may

:16:03. > :16:07.have two line up a string of black cabs across the six yard line to

:16:08. > :16:07.have two line up a string of black keep Celtic out today. What a day

:16:08. > :16:11.for East Kilbride football club. keep Celtic out today. What a day

:16:12. > :16:17.would surely be the daddy of all Scottish Cup shocks if Celtic were

:16:18. > :16:21.to slip up here. They would eclipse Clwyd, it would eclipse county in

:16:22. > :16:23.2010, and the headline making victory by Caledonian Thistle in

:16:24. > :16:28.2000, you would also be able to victory by Caledonian Thistle in

:16:29. > :16:29.treat it well above Berwick Rangers and Hamilton against Rangers, East

:16:30. > :16:35.five against Hibs, Dumbarton against hearts, Stenhousemuir against

:16:36. > :16:43.Aberdeen, and more recently, Albion Rovers against Motherwell. -- East

:16:44. > :16:47.Fife. To damaging defeats which could have serious repercussions in

:16:48. > :16:50.the months ahead. The, today it is all about getting through to the

:16:51. > :16:54.quarterfinal draw. CO-COMMENTATOR: The league will take care of itself,

:16:55. > :16:58.level with Aberdeen, real challenge, they must stay in this cup and do it

:16:59. > :17:02.in style, Celtic have come here to put on a show, they want to get the

:17:03. > :17:07.ball down and not get about and they want to score goals, you want to ask

:17:08. > :17:10.questions of East Kilbride, it is down to the amateurs to get

:17:11. > :17:14.themselves into the match, not stand back and admire Celtic. They may be

:17:15. > :17:18.your heroes you are playing against but today you have got to try to

:17:19. > :17:23.rough them up, knock them off their stride. Russell has conceded the

:17:24. > :17:31.first corner of the afternoon which comes in the second minute. Six.

:17:32. > :17:37.Gary Mackay-Steven... Headed past by the returning Charlie Mulgrew. There

:17:38. > :17:42.is a problem straightaway, first ball into the box, decent ball in,

:17:43. > :17:49.Charlie Mulgrew up ahead of his marker, decent header, just wide,

:17:50. > :17:52.set pieces could be key for Celtic. That would have been one way to

:17:53. > :17:56.announce your arrival back in the team, just one appearance since the

:17:57. > :17:59.game at Pittodrie in September for Charlie Mulgrew, it was brief.

:18:00. > :18:03.Substitute against I X, in East Kilbride slipped 25 points

:18:04. > :18:11.Europa League. -- East Kilbride slipped 25 points

:18:12. > :18:16.behind the dominant East Kilbride slipped 25 points

:18:17. > :18:25.leaders, Edinburgh city, yesterday. Sitting fifth. Beating Preston

:18:26. > :18:29.athletic, 4-1, yesterday, well on top

:18:30. > :18:30.athletic, 4-1, yesterday, well on league. Colin Kazim-Richards wants

:18:31. > :18:49.Expect a lot of the play to be a way it. -- Lowland League.

:18:50. > :18:56.to our right, Gary Mackay-Steven... to our right, Gary Mackay-Steven...

:18:57. > :19:03.Ambrose at right back. Gifts possession.

:19:04. > :19:17.Out to Stevenson. The roar from the supporters, as Jacques Smith made

:19:18. > :19:20.Out to Stevenson. The roar from the going to be a long afternoon for

:19:21. > :19:25.Jacques Smith, chasing lost causes, I cannot see him getting great

:19:26. > :19:35.Jacques Smith, chasing lost causes, service, he has got to work away

:19:36. > :19:42.manfully up there. -- Jacques Smith. -- Jack Smith.

:19:43. > :19:51.Celtic scored inside 27 seconds last week against Ross County, at Camden.

:19:52. > :20:10.-- Hamden. -- Hampden. Erik Sviatchenko, the

:20:11. > :20:25.new signing from Denmark. -- Hampden. Erik Sviatchenko, the

:20:26. > :20:38.Kazim-Richards... Ambrose... Runs into his man... Frazer Johnstone...

:20:39. > :20:50.Court late, play on. Leaves it for Ambrose. Whistle in the right place.

:20:51. > :20:59.Will defend good refereeing. Having a word. Committed a challenge on the

:21:00. > :21:01.edge of the box. Good advantage. East Kilbride do well to get that

:21:02. > :21:15.behind for the corner kick. Erik Sviatchenko! That is a

:21:16. > :21:18.brilliant save from Matt McGinley. Certainly a good hit from Erik

:21:19. > :21:25.Sviatchenko, the goalkeeper sees it late... A lot of players in front of

:21:26. > :21:28.him... Great save. That will do the PE teacher the world

:21:29. > :21:31.him... Great save. That will do the corner comes in. Right back to Gary

:21:32. > :21:40.Mackay-Steven. Resolute from the corner comes in. Right back to Gary

:21:41. > :21:48.hosts. Opening five and a half minutes. McGinley was also at Albion

:21:49. > :21:58.Rovers, the same time Barry Russell was when he had that terrific run to

:21:59. > :22:00.the last eight. Did not play in the famous games against Motherwell, for

:22:01. > :22:11.the Ibrox side. Great to see Charlie Mulgrew back,

:22:12. > :22:16.frustrating campaign it has been for him. Fighting for a new deal. One is

:22:17. > :22:25.out of contract at the end of the him. Fighting for a new deal. One is

:22:26. > :22:41.campaign. Next up for Celtic, Erik Sviatchenko. Colin Kazim-Richards...

:22:42. > :22:53.Good skill from Gary Good blog... Right inside the six

:27:17. > :27:38.off the ball. Very breezy, not easy for

:27:39. > :27:52.goalkeepers in this kind of situation. Griffiths is eyeing it

:27:53. > :27:55.up. The goalkeeper is happy to see that the past. Not one of the best

:27:56. > :28:01.from Leigh Griffiths. We have watched him score from further out

:28:52. > :28:53.the game because at the moment, you are always under pressure as the

:29:53. > :29:58.well, the other evening, Wednesday up front on his own. Went up pretty

:29:59. > :30:00.evening, there was not as much pressure on the Aberdeen defence as

:30:01. > :30:12.-- there to be. Ronny Deila would have liked their

:30:13. > :30:19.Break take from Leigh Griffiths. Was that... Just outside the box. Superb

:30:20. > :30:23.skill from Leigh Griffiths. Wonderful skill, absolutely

:30:24. > :30:29.magnificent. The touch and then the flick over. Unfortunately for Craig

:30:30. > :30:35.Kelly, I think this has earned him a yellow card. One more mistake and he

:30:36. > :30:40.could be off the park, he will have to be careful. But wonderful skill

:30:41. > :30:48.from Leigh Griffiths. Quite a young East Kilbride defence. How

:30:49. > :30:57.from Leigh Griffiths. Quite a young has forced his way into

:30:58. > :30:58.from Leigh Griffiths. Quite a young Craig Ronny Deila is first into the

:30:59. > :31:08.book. And if East Kilbride get Craig Ronny Deila is first into the

:31:09. > :31:11.through, and that is a big if, he will miss the next round. I don't

:31:12. > :31:17.think that will concern him now. There is a long way to go. If East

:31:18. > :31:23.Kilbride were to go down to ten men, that would be. Just taken a knock,

:31:24. > :31:29.around the knee area. Didn't think that would be. Just taken a knock,

:31:30. > :31:38.it looked too serious. I think Leigh Griffiths is going to run this off,

:31:39. > :31:43.no problem. Big chance for Celtic, when all is said and done. 15

:31:44. > :31:58.minutes in, still stalemate. It's Charlie Mulgrew. Anti-climax for the

:31:59. > :32:02.Scottish champions. I don't think there's much wrong with that ball

:32:03. > :32:09.in. I know you are looking for it to be fist towards the back post.

:32:10. > :32:15.Charlie Mulgrew certainly got that night, a bit of depth. But nobody

:32:16. > :32:23.into the back post area -- got back on it, a bit of

:32:24. > :32:37.McBride, has he found Hastings? He has. Slip from Ambrose. Good skill

:32:38. > :32:47.by Hastings, but Ambrose recovers. That won't do Craig Hastings any

:32:48. > :32:53.harm. Came out second best eventually. But one or two of these

:32:54. > :33:08.East Kilbride players showing good confidence. Scored one in each half

:33:09. > :33:13.in the last round against Lothian Thistle. Jack Russell scoring the

:33:14. > :33:56.pick of those. Forward it comes again. Here is

:33:57. > :34:05.Hastings. He fancies taking on Ambrose, which is clear. Ambrose

:34:06. > :34:11.coming out on top, though. Here comes Griffiths. Looks like he's

:34:12. > :34:13.moving reasonably freely. Get it back from Mackay-Steven. Can't

:34:14. > :34:29.control. Leigh Griffiths, I said he was

:34:30. > :34:33.moving reasonably freely, he was when he was on the ball, but he's

:34:34. > :34:37.struggling a little bit just out of picture. He doesn't look

:34:38. > :34:41.comfortable. The position Celtic are in, with the championship up for

:34:42. > :34:49.grabs, they are not going to risk him. I think the manager will take

:34:50. > :34:52.him off pretty quick if he is genuinely struggling. He is the one

:34:53. > :35:00.man Celtic cannot take any risks over. 48 goals in just over a season

:35:01. > :35:04.and a half. Smashed through the 50 barrier in the recent game at

:35:05. > :35:11.Tannadice against Dundee United. Here is Charlie Mulgrew in a good

:35:12. > :35:16.bit of space. The goalkeeper was certainly flailing at that.

:35:17. > :35:18.Certainly get in early. No takers in the central area for Celtic. Think

:35:19. > :35:49.he does the right thing. Could have put his boot through

:35:50. > :35:57.that, you might live to regret not doing so, Coll. Out for another

:35:58. > :36:01.corner. Interesting diving header at the front post. The important thing

:36:02. > :36:06.is you make sure you get the ball out for the corner. Would have been

:36:07. > :36:11.easier just to kick it out. Celtic's fourth of the match. Oh, it hasn't

:36:12. > :36:17.been cleared off the line! And Celtic have poked it home! Boyata

:36:18. > :36:24.and Griffiths both claim. Griffiths was right on the line. Celtic,

:36:25. > :36:27.finally, on 20 minutes, make the breakthrough against the lower

:36:28. > :36:32.league side, who couldn't keep it out. Undone by the set piece, and

:36:33. > :36:39.the touch is definitely off Griffiths. Leigh Griffiths, the ace

:36:40. > :36:44.predator, in the right place at the right time. Right on the line. The

:36:45. > :36:52.touch comes back, you just make sure it goes over the second time. 29 for

:36:53. > :36:57.the season, now. Boyata headed for the line. They were desperate to

:36:58. > :37:01.keep it out. Leigh Griffiths was in the right place at the right time,

:37:02. > :37:06.as he always is. And it is 1-0 to Celtic. Great strikers score an

:37:07. > :37:10.awful lot of goals that very way, park yourself in front of the

:37:11. > :37:20.goalkeeper, one of your players wins ahead and knocks it goalwards, just

:37:21. > :37:24.flick it into the back of the net. Not saying Ronny Deila would have

:37:25. > :37:25.felt a bit edgy but he will certainly be feeling a lot better

:37:26. > :37:29.now. Now he's got to certainly be feeling a lot better

:37:30. > :37:30.team to pick up the pace, start doing things that little bit

:37:31. > :37:40.sharper. Griffiths will be eyeing doing things that little bit

:38:10. > :38:14.that touch. Foul on Smith. Definitely hit him on the hand. Not

:38:20. > :38:32.have spotted that. If the referee sees that, that goal is chalked off,

:38:33. > :38:35.it was a definite handball. He got away with it, and it's not going to

:54:17. > :54:25.clever. Cuts inside, not mix the next one, just gets away, and good

:54:26. > :54:30.backtracking. Great defending by the midfielder. Celtic continue to crank

:54:31. > :54:47.up the pressure. Offside. Charlie Mulgrew may have been level,

:54:48. > :54:58.possibly just offside. The linesman was in a good position. He will be

:59:35. > :00:12.Could not get through. Lovely touch from James Forrest. Not

:00:13. > :00:13.so, the shot. Never seemed quite set, first touch was good, moved on

:00:14. > :00:42.to his strongest side. Nice bit of linkup play. Doesn't

:00:43. > :00:47.matter who you are playing, what competition, Scott Brown will be

:00:48. > :00:59.combated. Works in a bank, does Fraser John -- JOhnstone. A little

:01:00. > :01:04.opening, here. Maybe didn't have the opening product.

:01:05. > :01:14.-- the end product. Very clever play down the right to engineer the

:01:15. > :01:22.opening, but you've got to get the ball into the danger area. East

:01:23. > :01:27.Kilbride corner, as we go into one minute of added time at the end of

:01:28. > :01:31.the first half. If East Kilbride were to score here, it

:01:32. > :01:33.the first half. If East Kilbride quite something. Fraser Johnstone

:01:34. > :01:40.had ago. Here come Celtic on the counterattack. Griffiths. First time

:01:41. > :01:51.for Forrest. Going to leave it for his keeper. First thoughts? I think

:01:52. > :01:55.East Kilbride will be absolutely delighted, the way things have gone.

:01:56. > :02:00.They haven't been pressed back, they haven't been stuck camped in and

:02:01. > :02:07.around the own goal. On a couple of occasions the past has been half

:02:08. > :02:11.decent. Certainly a job well done. Albeit, McGinley the keeper has made

:02:12. > :02:18.seven saves to prevent Celtic being in a much more handsome position.

:02:19. > :02:36.Certainly been the man of the first half. Half-time in Airdrie. Lower

:02:37. > :02:41.league East Kilbride have stemmed the flow of Celtic in that first

:02:42. > :02:45.half. It has not been the romp that many thought it would be. But Celtic

:02:46. > :02:50.are leading at the interval thanks to guess who? Leigh Griffiths with

:02:51. > :02:57.his 29th strike of a goal laden season for him. He's hoping it will

:02:58. > :02:58.end with a silver lining. At half-time it is lowland league East

:02:59. > :03:14.Kilbride 0- one Celtic. Well what the first half that has

:03:15. > :03:15.been from East Kilbride. Really impressive and organised

:03:16. > :03:20.performance. impressive and organised

:03:21. > :03:29.only the wants, and it is 1-0 impressive and organised

:03:30. > :03:34.Celtic, halfway through. Place in the quarterfinals at stake. Yes,

:03:35. > :03:40.Celtic are on track for the latter stages of the competition. What a

:03:41. > :03:45.performance from the lowland league team. Absolutely. Defended well. The

:03:46. > :03:51.goalkeeper been excellent throughout. More than that, they've

:03:52. > :03:56.shown composure, whenever they've had the opportunity, they've done it

:03:57. > :04:02.well, particularly in midfield. Not had too many opportunities. I think

:04:03. > :04:11.generally their compote has been really good. -- their compote. The

:04:12. > :04:16.fact it is only 1-0, they will be pleased with that.

:04:17. > :04:19.fact it is only 1-0, they will be Celtic have blown their chances,

:04:20. > :04:25.they've had the odd opportunity. The goalkeeper has been in fine form

:04:26. > :04:30.generally, shown a lot of good composter under a fair bit of

:04:31. > :04:34.precious. What will Ronny Deila be saying at half-time and what will he

:04:35. > :04:38.think of the Celtic first half? He will be wanting them to pass the

:04:39. > :04:43.ball much quicker, don't take too many touches, get it out to the wide

:04:44. > :04:47.men and get them taking it on, lots of space for Gary Mackay-Steven on

:04:48. > :04:51.one side and James Forrest on the other. They need to get to the

:04:52. > :05:02.byline quicker and more often than they have been doing. The set piece

:05:03. > :05:05.that this quote from, -- that they scored from.

:05:06. > :05:11.that this quote from, -- that they many of them. The keeper has played

:05:12. > :05:20.well. The longer the game goes on, the more tired he will get but they

:05:21. > :05:24.have to keep going, don't panic. Some of the key moments from the

:05:25. > :05:31.first half a little later. We will also look at some of the big

:05:32. > :05:37.Scottish Cup moments. For now let's look back on the game played earlier

:05:38. > :05:39.which had a place in the quarterfinals at stake for the

:05:40. > :05:47.Edinburgh pair. Hearts quarterfinals at stake for the

:05:48. > :05:52.with ten minutes to go, it finished 2-2. We can hear from the managers.

:05:53. > :05:59.I suspect that was a very satisfying ending to the match? Yeah, it was. I

:06:00. > :06:01.thought it was the least we deserved, and all. I thought the

:06:02. > :06:07.contribution that we made to the game, if we would have lost the

:06:08. > :06:12.contribution that we made to the reflection of the game. And the lads

:06:13. > :06:15.have showed great character again. And you

:06:16. > :06:19.have showed great character again. to them all along is, they believe

:06:20. > :06:20.in themselves. When you have the team spirit and the camaraderie that

:06:21. > :06:25.they've got, anything is possible. team spirit and the camaraderie that

:06:26. > :06:30.And I was glad for them. I said to them at half-time, you didn't

:06:31. > :06:34.deserve to be 2-0 down but you are. I said the next goal is going to be

:06:35. > :06:39.hugely important. I felt as if we could have got a result. Luckily

:06:40. > :06:44.enough it turned out to be that way. I suspect having been two goals that

:06:45. > :06:49.was a disappointing end? It was, after being in such good position.

:06:50. > :06:56.The second half we hand initiative to Hibs. And to lose two bad goals

:06:57. > :07:00.at the end. But it is a replay, another moneyspinner for both teams,

:07:01. > :07:05.another huge game to be involved in and one that we look forward to. Do

:07:06. > :07:10.you feel you are invited to Hibs on to you a bit much in the second half

:07:11. > :07:17.trying to preserve the lead? Yes, we had the injury and a substitution,

:07:18. > :07:23.and we had Nicholson and Juno carrying knocks.

:07:24. > :07:35.But look, it was a great game. It was a competitive match, a lot of

:07:36. > :07:40.action. Great Scottish Cup tie, maybe not at the moment if you are a

:07:41. > :07:44.Hearts fan. But a second chance at Easter Road. Highlights from

:07:45. > :07:49.Tynecastle at 10:50pm, and the best of this one. You will see highlights

:07:50. > :07:55.on that programme as well of St Johnstone against Aberdeen in Perth

:07:56. > :08:01.yesterday. The match which took Aberdeen into a share of the lead.

:08:02. > :08:06.So half-time in the William Hill Scottish Cup tie here at the

:08:07. > :08:12.Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie. Let's have a look at the opening goal of

:08:13. > :08:18.the game so far, scored by Leif Griffiths -- by Leigh Griffiths. His

:08:19. > :08:20.29th of the season. Touch of controversy about this because

:08:21. > :08:28.clearly there is a handball, should it have counted? Looks here,

:08:29. > :08:33.Griffiths was on the goal-line, played into the box, Efe Ambrose, it

:08:34. > :08:36.just looks as if it came off his hand. Whether he meant it or not

:08:37. > :08:41.will be the question. Just come off the side of his hand and then

:08:42. > :08:45.dropped for him to put it in the back of the net. The goalkeeper

:08:46. > :08:50.didn't get there. That was the Achilles heel for East Kilbride in

:08:51. > :08:55.the game. They are not the biggest team and they were putting those

:08:56. > :09:00.balls into the danger areas. Little handball as it came down, don't know

:09:01. > :09:05.whether he meant it. As a former referee, would you have given that?

:09:06. > :09:09.It has hit his hand and he's got the benefit of the doubt. A lot of

:09:10. > :09:14.bodies in there as well. Whether the officials have a clear view of it,

:09:15. > :09:18.difficult to say. It is a poacher's goal, in the right place at the

:09:19. > :09:22.right time. Goalkeeper maybe a little bit stranded. Yes, getting

:09:23. > :09:29.blocked a bit. I don't think it was a free kick but he might have done a

:09:30. > :09:33.little better. He's had a good game. Probably the one negative moment for

:09:34. > :09:37.Matt McGinley, because he made a string of really good saves. He has

:09:38. > :09:43.enjoyed his base so fast blue he has. And we expected

:09:44. > :09:51.goes through a lot of players, good hands knocking it away, away from

:09:52. > :10:01.the goal area. No, he has played well. He has been on his game. Can't

:10:02. > :10:07.see that one, actually. Back to the edge of the box. Great block by the

:10:08. > :10:14.defendant. Got great blocks in around the near post and areas. His

:10:15. > :10:22.position is good, isn't it? Very decent strike. He is very lively to

:10:23. > :10:31.get to it. Good save from Mackay-Steven a bit later. Coming

:10:32. > :10:34.out off his line. That's where you've got to be brave, strong,

:10:35. > :10:42.getting in there, he gets away with it, brilliant. I think it is about

:10:43. > :10:45.position as well. This is the Mackay-Steven strike he hit it

:10:46. > :10:50.extremely well. Maybe a little bit too straight at the goalkeeper.

:10:51. > :10:54.Difficult to take, but at the second attempt he is right on top of it.

:10:55. > :10:57.He's had a good afternoon. We've been having fun among the East

:10:58. > :10:59.Kilbride supporters, they've been having fun in the first half,

:11:00. > :11:06.they've had plenty to be proud about. We've been in close behind

:11:07. > :11:09.Billy Ogilvy the manager, watching how he reacts. He's very cool and

:11:10. > :11:14.calm and I think his players are reflecting that as well. It comes

:11:15. > :11:17.across in the players. When they get the ball down, not it around, that's

:11:18. > :11:25.what he was talking about before the game. They finished the half really

:11:26. > :11:28.well, they got their corner, very calm. You can see his reaction with

:11:29. > :11:35.the fans behind the goal also, getting them going. 1-0 down at

:11:36. > :11:42.half-time. He will be absolutely delighted. Been a fantastic first

:11:43. > :11:45.half for them. Let's reflect, then, on the story of this Scottish Cup

:11:46. > :11:52.fifth round so far. All the results built into our equation. Of course a

:11:53. > :11:59.few replays to come. Morton are through having won 4-1 today. Replay

:12:00. > :12:04.coming a week on Tuesday between Dundee and Dumbarton. Dundee United

:12:05. > :12:13.getting the only goal of the game at Tannadice. Goalless draw at Ibrox

:12:14. > :12:15.between rages and Commander, that will be a week on Tuesday at Rugby

:12:16. > :12:31.Park. So let's pick our way through a few

:12:32. > :12:34.of the key moments from yesterday in the Scottish Cup. The holders march

:12:35. > :12:39.on to the next phase the Scottish Cup. The holders march

:12:40. > :12:42.competition. Inverness Caledonian Thistle have done it. Lots of credit

:12:43. > :12:48.here in the opening goal for the cutback, going in off Stephen

:12:49. > :12:53.McManus. But Motherwell came back to equalise. Heading into stoppage time

:12:54. > :12:57.they probably thought they were going to get a replay out of this as

:12:58. > :13:02.well. I'm sure they did. A bitter blow for Mark McGhee. After getting

:13:03. > :13:12.themselves back into the game. McManus getting the touch for the

:13:13. > :13:18.equaliser. And what a goal this is. Jordan Roberts, after so many

:13:19. > :13:22.problems with injury, stepping off the bench. You could pick holes in

:13:23. > :13:25.the defensive performance here, but what strikes top blue brilliant

:13:26. > :13:31.strike. There was some controversy before that, could have been a foul.

:13:32. > :13:39.What a fantastic strike, going past a couple of players. I think he will

:13:40. > :13:44.be looking back and saying it was pouring off defending. Dundee United

:13:45. > :13:49.could do with some good news, and they got yesterday, they go through

:13:50. > :13:52.to the quarterfinals, beating Partick Thistle at Tannadice. What a

:13:53. > :13:57.lovely bit of composure inside the penalty box from Scott Fraser.

:13:58. > :14:02.Absolutely, picked his spot, set up well for it. But there is a lot of

:14:03. > :14:06.work still to be done. Sees a little gap and curls it into the far

:14:07. > :14:11.work still to be done. Sees a little corner. Good composure and excellent

:14:12. > :14:16.execution. So East Kilbride are having their day in the sun, well, I

:14:17. > :14:20.wish it was. But they are certainly enjoying it here in Airdrie.

:14:21. > :14:24.Linlithgow Rose had a special day, the junior team, yesterday, up in

:14:25. > :14:28.Dingwall, against Ross County from the Premiership, of course. I guess

:14:29. > :14:40.you feared for the junior team when they went behind so early on. Paul

:14:41. > :14:45.can't stop scoring just now, can he? This was the freakish goal, and look

:14:46. > :14:49.at that reaction from the Linlithgow fans. Nice for them to score. I know

:14:50. > :14:59.it wasn't their goal, but nice to actually get a goal and celebrate.

:15:00. > :15:04.But Ross County was always going to win. Brian Graham, Alex Schalk

:15:05. > :15:08.scored as well. This was the goal that made it from 3-1 to 3-2.

:15:09. > :15:13.MacLennan scoring following this go Rose. At this point Ross County

:15:14. > :15:17.thinking, we could be in some bother. This was a fantastic goal,

:15:18. > :15:23.all the way from the goalkeeper, all the way up the pitch. It really took

:15:24. > :15:29.Ross County to respond and they did. Good finish from the big striker.

:15:30. > :15:29.Lets get your reaction to that Edinburgh derby earlier

:15:30. > :15:35.Lets get your reaction to that that will feel like a win for Hibs.

:15:36. > :15:41.We were watching it before we came on air, 2-0 down, you expect Hibs to

:15:42. > :15:45.go on and win, but it shows the fight in the Hibs team. Alan Stubbs

:15:46. > :15:50.has got something going with that team. Hearts, big, strong team. But

:15:51. > :15:54.a wonderful performance to come back from being 2-0 down, and it sets

:15:55. > :16:01.them up now, no matter what happens, that is a brilliant result for them.

:16:02. > :16:08.What you expect, you think that East Kilbride can maintain what they have

:16:09. > :16:11.shown so far? I think it will be very difficult for them, Celtic have

:16:12. > :16:17.put them under a lot of pressure. From a Celtic point of view, they

:16:18. > :16:20.need to lift the tempo, when they get an opportunity, they have got to

:16:21. > :16:24.try to take advantage of that. As far as is Kilbride is concerned,

:16:25. > :16:32.more of the same, keep it as tight as they possibly can for as long as

:16:33. > :16:38.they can. This is the story so far, this amazing Scottish Cup match-up,

:16:39. > :16:48.at the Excelsior Stadium, it is 1-0, Celtic, and Leigh Griffiths as the

:16:49. > :16:50.only goal so far. -- has. Handball is clear to see but the ball ended

:24:33. > :24:39.with. Now perhaps Celtic will turn on the style.

:24:40. > :24:49.Looking a wee bit happier now. May begin looking at the bench, bringing

:24:50. > :24:57.people on, giving a little bit of extra zip to the attack. Ryan

:31:46. > :31:51.McGinley, but there is a flag. Goalkeeper doesn't know that. That's

:31:52. > :31:55.another terrific save. Kazim-Richards gets a forehead on

:31:56. > :32:00.this ball, bags of power. The goalkeeper does really well,

:32:01. > :32:04.download. Another good save. Good ball in, perfect for the striker. He

:32:05. > :32:15.is moving on to it. Good header, even better save. Man of many clubs,

:32:16. > :32:22.Kazim-Richards, started his career at Bury. He's played for Toulouse,

:32:23. > :32:30.Kazim-Richards, started his career Galatasaray, Feyenoord, among many

:32:31. > :33:05.others. Now off the mark for his new club.

:33:06. > :33:13.Lovely skill from Mackay-Steven. Sometimes it comes off for him, when

:33:14. > :33:19.it does, it is wonderful. Never good for the full-back to see that, you

:33:20. > :33:42.see these extra bits of skills that can confound defenders.

:33:43. > :33:52.Really brave goalkeeping, Mckay -- Mackay-Steven at the near post, he's

:33:53. > :34:03.got together the cutback, another quality save. Speaking to a couple

:34:04. > :34:08.of the local East Kilbride journalists earlier, who were

:34:09. > :34:11.talking about the game. I asked what would be a good scoreline for East

:34:12. > :34:16.Kilbride today. They reckoned anything south of 5-0. Well I

:34:17. > :34:21.couldn't disagree with that coming to the game. I did think back to the

:34:22. > :34:30.game a few years ago, 3-0. East Kilbride have been good this

:34:31. > :34:41.afternoon and they will fight right until the final whistle. Change

:34:42. > :34:55.coming for East Kilbride, Liam Gormley is going to come on.

:34:56. > :35:05.Hastings will be replaced. Started the game brightly enough, did

:35:06. > :35:14.Hastings. On comes Liam Gormley. May be as much to do with fresh legs.

:35:15. > :35:19.They can't afford any passengers at this stage, East Kilbride, they need

:35:20. > :35:25.everybody doing their job. He is a striker, Gormley. He's a salesman.

:35:26. > :36:07.Played part of his youth career at Celtic. There he is.

:36:08. > :36:28.Tierney. Kazim-Richards once the penalty, I think. He's not getting

:36:29. > :36:36.one. Griffiths, back out wide it goes. Stripped away by Stevenson,

:36:37. > :36:46.back in by Tierney. Blocked by Russell.

:36:47. > :36:53.We afternoon. In that situation he just

:36:54. > :36:55.spots the danger and gets himself into a good position, and makes yet

:36:56. > :37:27.another block. Gets it in, and a swipe from

:37:28. > :37:33.Griffiths. Hard today, but almost gets over it, almost gets on target.

:37:34. > :37:37.Here is the shout for the penalty. Kazim-Richards takes the ball under

:37:38. > :37:42.pressure. Just don't see the referee giving him a penalty there, at all.

:37:43. > :37:46.Here is our friend Barry Russell, doing what he's done all afternoon,

:37:47. > :37:55.being in the right place and getting his head on that. Terrific block.

:37:56. > :37:56.Difficult one for him to swallow when he left Albion Rovers, felt he

:37:57. > :38:16.deserved a new deal, there. Given the part he played in a couple

:38:17. > :38:17.of famous results for Albion Rovers that season, perhaps you can't blame

:38:18. > :38:30.him. Helped Albion Rovers to their first

:38:31. > :38:43.quarterfinal in the Scottish Cup since 1934.

:38:44. > :39:35.Celtic continuing a pretty good scoring record, only failed to score

:39:36. > :39:40.four times this season. Robbie Dale are taking charge of the club for

:39:41. > :39:45.the 102nd time today -- Ronny Deila taking charge of the club. They have

:39:46. > :39:50.only failed to score in 11 of those 102 games. Up the other end of the

:39:51. > :39:57.park has been the big problem, the big Achilles heel. Griffiths, lovely

:39:58. > :40:01.touch, and again. Just crowded out, desperately trying to get the ball

:40:02. > :40:11.out of his feet to get a look at the goal. Good touch, but can't get the

:40:12. > :40:13.ball out of his feet. Celtic are going to bring on Scott Allen in a

:40:14. > :40:33.moment. And Mackay-Steven going off going to bring on Scott Allen in a

:40:34. > :40:40.by the sounds of things. Scott Allan's old team Hibernian coming

:40:41. > :40:51.from 2-0 down to secure a replay against Hearts in the early kick-off

:40:52. > :41:02.today. Superb fightback. Cummins and Hanlon on the scoresheet.

:41:03. > :41:05.Sviatchenko just Hanlon on the scoresheet.

:41:06. > :41:07.going to nick the ball ahead of Jack Smith, you can see he made contact.

:41:08. > :41:11.Referee spot on with Smith, you can see he made contact.

:41:12. > :41:13.Scott Allen will come on to replace Smith, you can see he made contact.

:41:14. > :41:37.Mckay Stephen. -- Mackay-Steven. In tight areas he can produce a

:41:38. > :42:00.killer pass. Not the best touch in the world from

:42:01. > :42:05.keirin Tierney, who has done little wrong since forcing his way into the

:42:06. > :42:14.Celtic team. Left-back of choice at Celtic these days. Emilio Izaguirre

:42:15. > :42:19.is shivering on the bench, as he has Celtic these days. Emilio Izaguirre

:42:20. > :42:28.done most of the time in recent weeks. Martin McBride. First

:42:29. > :42:34.involvement for Allen. Free kick, obstruction. Fraser Johnstone, I

:42:35. > :42:44.think he will get away with a warning, here. Realised Scott Allen

:42:45. > :42:46.was goal side, had to stop him. Celtic fans would like to see more

:42:47. > :42:56.of Scott Allen. In fits and starts Celtic fans would like to see more

:42:57. > :43:00.he has shown he has ability. It would be good for him to get a run

:43:01. > :43:03.to show what he can do over the course of 90 minutes. You get the

:43:04. > :43:10.feeling that chance course of 90 minutes. You get the

:43:11. > :43:20.some point for him. Too good not to. And here is James Forrest. Tierney

:43:21. > :43:28.retrieves it, and well. Griffiths. Too

:43:29. > :43:56.Nicely played. They are loving this. Regardless of the scoreline today it

:43:57. > :44:00.was going to be a day they were never going to forget. It will

:44:01. > :44:07.certainly give them a first for more going forward. The new pyramid

:44:08. > :44:11.system we have in Scottish football allows clubs like East Kilbride,

:44:12. > :44:14.potentially, that opportunity. That's exactly why so many people

:44:15. > :44:18.want to join these leagues where there is the possibility of getting

:44:19. > :44:21.up into the professional ranks of the big leagues and doing this on a

:44:22. > :44:32.year in, year out basis. Edinburgh the big leagues and doing this on a

:44:33. > :44:34.these days. East Stirlingshire are currently the bottom

:44:35. > :44:38.these days. East Stirlingshire are 2, and would go into that play-off

:44:39. > :44:41.against the winners of the lowland highland matchup. Here come East

:44:42. > :44:52.Kilbride with their best attack of the second half. Jack Smith. Shot on

:44:53. > :44:55.target. Only just. Two on two. The Celtic defenders always looked to

:44:56. > :45:01.have them where they wanted them. One man each, they were not going to

:45:02. > :45:08.get caught with the ball between them. Simple save. Jack Smith's old

:45:09. > :45:23.man Andy in the beating Airdrie side against John Collins's Celtic.

:45:24. > :45:34.Kazim-Richards. Forrest to Allen. Stout defending again. Less than 18

:45:35. > :46:28.to play. They know that this is an area where

:46:29. > :46:32.they have struggled, even if you are not going to win the ball, just make

:46:33. > :46:40.sure you do not let Celtic get it on target. Even Jack Smith has come

:46:41. > :46:47.back to defend this one. That should be the goalkeeper's. Tries to

:46:48. > :46:52.punch... Looked away by Smith. -- hooked. Goalkeeper dealt with the

:46:53. > :46:58.corner kick. Passionate cup football. Almost

:46:59. > :47:08.found Brady. Passionate cup football. Almost

:47:09. > :47:43.Decent first touch. Left frustrated. As mismatches go, this is right up

:47:44. > :47:47.there. Still just 2-0. It proves that if you are organised, if you

:47:48. > :47:51.apply yourself, if you stick to the game plan, and everybody does their

:47:52. > :47:54.bit, you can make it very difficult for far superior players to break

:47:55. > :48:11.you down. Mixing it up well. Full-backs

:48:12. > :48:15.getting forward, in this case, centre-back getting forward as well,

:48:16. > :48:16.decent cut back. I'm lucky, trying to go back across the goal.

:48:17. > :48:37.Goalkeeper, just wide. Colin Kazim-Richards got the second

:48:38. > :48:42.goal for Celtic. On the edge of the box. Does get a touch on the bull by

:48:43. > :48:46.the look of things, whether he goes through the player to get there, you

:48:47. > :48:51.might argue, but the referee... I don't think it entered his mind to

:48:52. > :49:22.give a penalty. Looked like a good tackle.

:49:23. > :49:34.Foul on Brady, the birthday boy. When a defender is over pressure --

:49:35. > :49:41.under pressure... Why is Efe Ambrose making the challenge?

:49:42. > :49:50.Celtic change, I did not think that Charlie Mulgrew would play the

:49:51. > :49:55.entire match. He will be replaced, by near baton, usually a starter.

:49:56. > :50:02.The good news there, Charlie Mulgrew is back in the fold. Something to

:50:03. > :50:07.add. We coming to a really tense end of the season. Looking for a new

:50:08. > :50:16.deal as well. That often keeps players on their toes. -- near --

:50:17. > :50:23.Nir Bitton. First signing a Celtic manager, when you return. -- first

:50:24. > :50:33.signing as Celtic manager. Forest being chased.

:50:34. > :50:41.Two of the East Kilbride buyers are beginning to look a little bit

:50:42. > :50:46.leggy. It has been hard graft, they have been chasing all afternoon. --

:50:47. > :50:56.leggy. It has been hard graft, they East Kilbride players. 2-0 down,

:50:57. > :50:59.almost full-time. East Kilbride's next match is due to be at home

:51:00. > :51:04.against Dalbeattie Star, though this is the calm for the storm. The

:51:05. > :51:09.phrase after the Lord Mayor 's show is applicable. Fell by Colin

:51:10. > :51:11.Kazim-Richards, I think that he is going to claim that he won

:51:12. > :51:17.Kazim-Richards, I think that he is of strength but the referee was

:51:18. > :51:21.right on it and felt it was a foul. He will not lose too many battles of

:51:22. > :51:26.strength this season, Colin Kazim-Richards. Here he is again. 12

:51:27. > :51:54.remaining. Back to Ambrose it goes. Barry

:51:55. > :52:32.Russell tried the reverse.

:52:33. > :52:36.get a shot on target early in the second half, not too long ago, Jack

:52:37. > :52:40.Smith with it. One of these ones, the timing came to him, thought that

:52:41. > :52:45.the move had petered out, he decided to try his luck from the edge of the

:52:46. > :52:55.box, straight down the throat of the goalkeeper.

:52:56. > :53:09.-- never threatening Logan Bailly. They are having a great day, they

:53:10. > :53:11.will not forget it in a hurry. Celtic change. Ryan Christie will

:53:12. > :53:18.That strike in the first half, new come on for Leigh Griffiths.

:53:19. > :53:24.That strike in the first half, new scored again. Ryan Christie, arrived

:53:25. > :53:26.from Inverness Caledonian Thistle at scored again. Ryan Christie, arrived

:53:27. > :53:32.the tail end of the summer transfer window, immediately loaned back to

:53:33. > :53:40.Inverness. His time there at the club that he wrote through at. Ended

:53:41. > :53:44.because of injury. Big talent, Scottish Cup

:53:45. > :53:47.because of injury. Big talent, Thistle, last season. He would

:53:48. > :53:49.bet against him picking up back-to-back Scottish Cup medals

:53:50. > :54:03.should he be involved. Should they get there.

:54:04. > :54:17.Break here for East Kilbride. Only Brady in the middle. Goes down,

:54:18. > :54:19.looking for the free kick, which he is not going to get. Plain and

:54:20. > :54:54.simply outmuscled there. Lovely effort from Scott Brown.

:54:55. > :55:20.Don't see him do that much at Ibrox, that classic 2-2

:55:21. > :55:30.draw. Classic time. Went to the incredible replay. -- classic

:55:31. > :55:34.-- classic tie. Celtic went through, they won the cup, beating Motherwell

:55:35. > :55:39.in the final, they won the cup, beating Motherwell

:55:40. > :55:49.it, against the burning. Hibs still in a cup, thanks to a comeback

:55:50. > :56:00.earlier on in Edinburgh. -- still in the cup. -- against Hibernian.

:56:01. > :56:32.Brown coming oh so close to a goal. Hits it carefully, opens up his

:56:33. > :56:49.body, so unlucky. So important for body, so unlucky. So important for

:56:50. > :57:04.Coolly done by Barry Russell, Brady wins the free kick.

:57:05. > :57:09.Change being made by East Kilbride, Frazer Johnstone, we have not seen

:57:10. > :57:40.much of him in the game. The former captain of East Kilbride,

:57:41. > :57:48.the armband taken off him, by Barry Russell.

:57:49. > :57:57.Captained them to the South regional cup. Scoring a penalty in that one,

:57:58. > :58:01.against Gretna. One of the sites that make up the Lowland League. The

:58:02. > :58:15.new incarnation of Gretna, alongside teams such as Kilby.

:58:16. > :59:04.That just bobbled before they crossed.

:59:05. > :59:09.Christie will be delighted to get another appearance in the Celtic

:59:10. > :59:14.shirt, he will want to make an impression, I told you that his old

:59:15. > :59:19.man was here. The Caley Thistle legend, Charlie Christie, he had a

:59:20. > :59:26.spell at Celtic as well himself. Proud as he watched his son picked

:59:27. > :59:33.up the Scottish Cup last season. -- pick up. That result superseding

:59:34. > :59:39.Inverness's victory over Celtic in 2000, in which he played a big part.

:59:40. > :59:46.I think it is Man of the Match time. To whom does it go? I think it is a

:59:47. > :59:51.situation, it is all about East Kilbride, they have been terrific.

:59:52. > :59:55.Special mention for Barry Russell. I think he has led the team

:59:56. > :59:59.magnificently, strong all afternoon. He has done everything required, but

:00:00. > :00:02.in the first half, East Kilbride had to keep themselves in the game to

:00:03. > :00:06.give themselves a chance of producing this kind of result, I

:00:07. > :00:11.think the goalkeeper, Pat McGinlay, was the star man of the first 45, he

:00:12. > :00:14.was the difference, he set the standard, and East Kilbride have

:00:15. > :00:21.kept it going. My Man of the Match, Pat McGinlay.

:00:22. > :00:25.Celtic came up against an inspired young goalkeeper when they face

:00:26. > :00:44.Stranraer in the last round as well. East Kilbride's biggest day in their

:00:45. > :00:50.less than six year history. They want to watch with this scoreline,

:00:51. > :00:58.digging out historic results from the past, sure.

:00:59. > :01:11.Maybe even glanced at Arbroath's big win when they were doing so. Never

:01:12. > :01:14.really threatened to get anywhere close to the scoreline Celtic

:01:15. > :01:20.supporters had designs on today. It is a cup tie, it is getting through

:01:21. > :01:33.that is the main thing. Morton going through yesterday. Ross County were

:01:34. > :01:36.4-2 victors over Linlithgow Rose. Here come Celtic looking for

:01:37. > :01:46.another. Woeful cross from Efe Ambrose. The build-up was absolutely

:01:47. > :01:52.top drawer. Just asking for a ball into the centre. Off the shin, up

:01:53. > :02:05.and over the bar, and the chance has gone. Final change for East

:02:06. > :02:08.Kilbride, bringing on Gary Miller. Pretty good afternoon, Anthony

:02:09. > :02:12.Brady, he looked dangerous. -- bringing on Gavin Millar. What a

:02:13. > :02:20.moment this is for the youngster, albeit just one minute of normal

:02:21. > :02:24.play to go. He can still say he played against Celtic in a Scottish

:02:25. > :02:39.Cup tie, even if it was just for one minute.

:02:40. > :02:46.He is a former Celtic boys club player. Making his debut today.

:02:47. > :02:53.What a game to make your debut in. Don't know what level of football he

:02:54. > :03:01.will end up playing at, Gavin Millar. But he'll have to go some to

:03:02. > :03:11.get anywhere close the minute he has against the Scottish champions.

:03:12. > :03:19.Here is Ambrose. Celtic trying to get a third. Make the scoreline look

:03:20. > :03:24.a little bit more impressive. Forrest for Brown.

:03:25. > :03:36.Here is Barry Russell again. Three minutes being added on at the end of

:03:37. > :03:41.the game. Looking at the scoreline just now, it's obviously not an

:03:42. > :03:45.impressive scoreline as far as Celtic are concerned, will there be

:03:46. > :03:50.repercussions? Given the fact they have only scored two, and they were

:03:51. > :03:54.expected to score so many more? The critics I'm sure we'll pick on the

:03:55. > :03:59.fact that they should be doing better, scoring more goals against

:04:00. > :04:03.East Kilbride. I just don't think you can take away from this East

:04:04. > :04:08.Kilbride performance. Everybody to a man has been terrific. No

:04:09. > :04:14.passengers. Everybody has stuck to their job. That's why they are only

:04:15. > :04:24.2-0 down against a team of Celtic's quality. When you consider that

:04:25. > :04:27.Celtic scored four against Caledonian Thistle, six against

:04:28. > :04:33.Dundee, four against Ross County, eight against Hamilton Academical.

:04:34. > :04:39.That means that this scoreline stands up beautifully, doesn't it?

:04:40. > :04:41.Everything about this competition. This is what it is about. It is

:04:42. > :04:46.about the fairy tale. Nobody This is what it is about. It is

:04:47. > :04:48.expected East Kilbride to win, but they came here to show they can

:04:49. > :04:53.expected East Kilbride to win, but and set down a marker for the league

:04:54. > :04:54.they play in. They have done exactly that. Huge

:04:55. > :04:57.they play in. They have done exactly manager for the performance they put

:04:58. > :05:12.up. Final minute of the injury time

:05:13. > :05:34.added on at the end by the referee. Kazim-Richards got Celtic's second.

:05:35. > :05:50.One last chance for Celtic to add a third. Doesn't look as though it's

:05:51. > :05:56.going to happen. It was a proud day for Billy Ogilvy anyway. His side

:05:57. > :06:06.have matched Celtic in many departments. He will be able to take

:06:07. > :06:12.plenty out of this. Fifth best team in the lowland league. They were

:06:13. > :06:18.second last season. It's Celtic who go through to the quarterfinals

:06:19. > :06:23.again, but the scoreline was far from impressive. Some Celtic

:06:24. > :06:29.supporters around asked not to happy with that aspect of it. On the day

:06:30. > :06:33.of their dreams, East Kilbride go out of the Scottish Cup. But they

:06:34. > :06:39.will get positive headlines tomorrow, for sure. They let nobody

:06:40. > :06:45.down. Leigh Griffiths scored Celtic's first, bundling home, it

:06:46. > :06:50.did come off his hand, though, just beforehand. Matt McGinley pulling

:06:51. > :06:57.off some wonderful saves. PE teacher at the local high school. Colin

:06:58. > :07:02.Kazim-Richards, the Turkey international, scored Celtic's

:07:03. > :07:10.second just after the interval. But it stayed at two. The main thing for

:07:11. > :07:13.Celtic, as the East Kilbride players look for some memento, some

:07:14. > :07:19.souvenirs of the occasion, is the fact that they have gone into the

:07:20. > :07:22.draw which will be made tomorrow, and they join Morton, Dundee United,

:07:23. > :07:31.Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Ross County in the pot for that

:07:32. > :07:37.drawer. For the last eight of the William Hill Scottish Cup. It

:07:38. > :07:45.finishes here lowland league East Kilbride 0- two Celtic.

:07:46. > :07:51.So it is Celtic who are in the draw. Monday tea-time for that. You will

:07:52. > :07:58.hear it on BBC radio Scotland sports. It is surely the lowland

:07:59. > :08:04.league side, East Kilbride, who take all the plaudits today. What a

:08:05. > :08:07.polished performance they turned in. Massive challenge for them. There is

:08:08. > :08:11.the Man of the Match, Barry Russell. The Celtic fan who has turned on the

:08:12. > :08:16.style against the team he loves. The Celtic fan who has turned on the

:08:17. > :08:21.there is that jersey tucked under his arm. Special moment for him.

:08:22. > :08:26.Matt McGinley the goalkeeper was superb. Getting a great reception

:08:27. > :08:32.from their fans, as they should. Because in many ways, East Kilbride

:08:33. > :08:37.were the winners today. Absolutely fabulous performance. They'll get a

:08:38. > :08:45.standing ovation, they thoroughly deserve it. Thought they might have

:08:46. > :08:47.wilted in the second half but they certainly didn't, composure was

:08:48. > :08:52.excellent. Took care of the ball extremely well. Credit to their

:08:53. > :08:57.town, credit to themselves, their family and their fans. Let's hear

:08:58. > :09:05.from Leigh Griffiths. It was a win but was it convincing enough? Year,

:09:06. > :09:08.it was. We didn't play our best. It was a fairy tale day for East

:09:09. > :09:13.Kilbride, and we've got to give them a lot of credit. But for us it is

:09:14. > :09:18.all about progressing. Given the gulf between the sides, should it

:09:19. > :09:23.have been more? It should have, yes. But like I say it's all about

:09:24. > :09:27.getting into the next round. The first one, did it hit your hand on

:09:28. > :09:32.the way in? I saw it at half-time, it did hit my hand. But we will take

:09:33. > :09:37.a bit of luck. Given the week it has been for this club, would you say

:09:38. > :09:40.you need to go on to win this competition as well as the league? I

:09:41. > :09:44.think the league is the most important thing. Aberdeen are going

:09:45. > :09:49.to push as all the way, we know that. But hopefully we get a good

:09:50. > :09:55.cup run and win it and it will end up a very good season for us. Thank

:09:56. > :10:01.you. Billy Ogilvy standing alongside me, now, you must be really proud of

:10:02. > :10:09.what happened here today. In many ways East Kilbride are the winners.

:10:10. > :10:14.You are right. The fitness level of our team today, the organisation, we

:10:15. > :10:19.knew we were equally as prepared and organised as Celtic. The bravery

:10:20. > :10:24.today on the ball. Just really got done by two set pieces, two corner

:10:25. > :10:29.kicks. Handball on the first one, what did you think of that? I just

:10:30. > :10:37.heard that, and that such a shame. Have a look at it now, there he is

:10:38. > :10:40.on the goal-line. Certainly a handball, just whether you chalk it

:10:41. > :10:48.off. These things happen in football. You take your luck when

:10:49. > :10:51.you get it. Two corners, and we were really wary of Celtic at corners

:10:52. > :10:54.because their delivery is excellent, they are such big and powerful

:10:55. > :10:59.because their delivery is excellent, footballers. But we are so pleased.

:11:00. > :11:05.Well done, enjoy the moment and the night, and let's hear from your

:11:06. > :11:09.goalkeeper and captain as well. Starting with yourself, Barry,

:11:10. > :11:17.everybody talking about East Kilbride, defeat, but does it feel

:11:18. > :11:26.like a win? Not really. We knew what we were up against. We just had to

:11:27. > :11:35.stick together and I think we did. Set pieces were always going to kill

:11:36. > :11:39.us. Charlie Mulgrew, a few big boys. When you set pieces would killers

:11:40. > :11:45.and write enough they did, but the boys should be proud of themselves.

:11:46. > :11:49.You were a very busy boy, what was it like playing against the Scottish

:11:50. > :11:54.champions? Brilliant. We knew when the tie was drawn that it would be a

:11:55. > :11:59.difficult afternoon. But the boys stuck together, first class all day.

:12:00. > :12:06.I will let you do the honours for the Man of the Match. Well done,

:12:07. > :12:10.chaps. Thanks a lot, cheers. As manager Billy Ogilvy said, East

:12:11. > :12:14.Kilbride have lost out today to two set pieces. We've seen the Leigh

:12:15. > :12:22.Griffiths goal, this was Colin Kazim-Richards in the second half.

:12:23. > :12:27.In around the six yard box, and I did say this was their Achilles

:12:28. > :12:32.heel. Celtic are big, strong men. Three or four other crosses in there

:12:33. > :12:33.and they got their heads on and they could have been exposed. Leigh

:12:34. > :12:40.Griffiths again trying to score, and Griffiths again trying to score, and

:12:41. > :12:46.All about East Kilbride, they defended well, the young goalkeeper

:12:47. > :12:52.gets his Man of the Match award, rightly so. Made some excellent

:12:53. > :12:57.saves in the game. They will be thinking about this for a long time

:12:58. > :13:03.to come. Two set pieces. Celtic struggled to create a lot of things.

:13:04. > :13:07.They had some half chances, but not what you would expect from Celtic.

:13:08. > :13:10.The performance was not there, but the big objective was getting

:13:11. > :13:15.through to the next round. Thank you both very much, it's been a special

:13:16. > :13:20.day at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie. Highlights tonight at

:13:21. > :13:25.10:50pm BBC One Scotland, this one and also a very special Edinburgh

:13:26. > :13:30.derby at Tynecastle. St Johnstone Aberdeen. David versus Goliath it

:13:31. > :13:34.certainly was. Celtic through to the quarterfinals but East Kilbride and

:13:35. > :13:36.he much at home, weren't they, in the land of the Giants? -- they were

:13:37. > :13:56.pretty much at home. # Every Goliath has its David

:13:57. > :14:01.# And I know kung fu # And I'm not afraid of you
