The Scottish cup has been good to both hearts and Celtic in recent | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
seasons. They have lifted the trophy nine times in the last 15 years | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
between them. Celtic have won on six occasions in that spell. Neil Lennon | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
was captain in 2007 and Gary Locke got his hands on the trophy in 1998. | :00:44. | :00:50. | |
The teams are at opposite ends of the Premiership table with Hearts | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
desperate for an end to their financial troubles. But Celtic are | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
only too aware of the challenge that Hearts can present, with recent | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
memories of being knocked out at Hampden Park. Hearts went on to win | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
the cup two seasons ago with an emphatic victory over their biggest | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
rivals. But Celtic are the holders, as they look to replicate last | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
season's league and cup double. Party time for Celtic! | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
Young Hearts are already looking forward to a League Cup semifinal. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Premiership survival has to be their number one aim, but they have the | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
chance to set off on a Scottish cup run as well, but the degree of | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
difficulty could not be much greater today. Celtic don't just plan to win | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
this one. They want another helping of Hampden Park glory. They want to | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
hold on to this Scottish Cup. 11 teams through to the fifth round of | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
the competition, including Aberdeen. 1-0 winners at Partick | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
Thistle. Cons are dying got the only goal of that game. We will give you | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
more details of that match and then our main attention turns to | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
Tynecastle with live coverage of Hearts against Celtic in the company | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
of former Hearts midfielder Michael Stewart and former Celtic striker | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
Mark McGhee. Let's give you the team news. And it is a Hearts side | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
showing one change from the team which drew here with Ross County | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
last Saturday. David Smith is starting on the right side and he | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
replaces Callum Tapping for Gary Locke. Four changes to the team | :02:40. | :02:47. | |
which lost in the Champions League at home to Milan midweek. Scott | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
Brown, Anthony Stokes and Joe Ledley returning to the team with Nir Biton | :02:56. | :03:07. | |
starting as well. Georgios Samaras is on the bench. Big game for | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
Hearts, but the big issue, the much bigger issue for our supporters, is | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
the safeguarding of the future of the club. How confident are you that | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
that is close to being settled? Obviously the proceedings on Friday | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
have gone in favour of Hearts. It is a step forward. It is a difficult | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
situation that the club finds themselves in. It is still very much | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
an unsure future, but what happened on Friday has taken the club one | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
step further to trying to secure the future. I am pretty confident that | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
it will not go down the liquidation route. There will be a resolution | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
and the Foundation of Hearts will take control of the club. A big game | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
facing Hearts today. What does Celtic's European exit mean for this | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
game? It was interesting to hear Neil Lennon talking about moving on | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
from that, regardless of how the pundits might see it. Any criticism | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
they may have had regarding their run in Europe and their failure to | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
qualify, they feel as if they have done fantastically well to be there | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
through a very difficult set of qualifying games. And they are just | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
going to move on from that. I expect Celtic to be back at full pelt and I | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
don't expect them to lose any ground. It will be a really | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
difficult game for Hearts. The Scottish Premiership table | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
underlines the scale of the challenge facing Hearts today. Minus | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
three for them plus 33 for Celtic. On paper, the home team have no | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
chance here. Of course. It is well documented, the situation that | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Hearts find themselves in. It is not a pretty one. But regardless of what | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
the table says, anybody that has played the game will tell you that | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
when it comes to cup competitions, it is just what happens on the day. | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
At Tynecastle, the games that I have seen for Hearts this season, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
especially at home, they have never been overrun too much. They always | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
manage to make themselves fairly in touch. The game today against the | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
champions, Celtic, will be as big a test as they have had this year. I | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
do think that Celtic are going to be the strong favourites, but it will | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
not be a trouncing, identity. Let's get the full story of what happened | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
earlier with Partick Thistle and Aberdeen. A fifth minute headed goal | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
from Andrew Consett iron was enough to get this cup tie. -- Considine. | :05:42. | :05:54. | |
Fox turned away a volley and a deflected Ryan Jack shot was stopped | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
as well. Partick Thistle were better in the second half but they could | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
not get past a solid Aberdeen defence to get an equaliser. The | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
goal hero Considine showed his defensive qualities blocking a late | :06:11. | :06:19. | |
effort from Isaac Osbourne. When Aberdeen have beaten Partick Thistle | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
previously in the cup, they have gone on to win. Will this happen | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
this year? The highlights of that match on Sportscene tonight along | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
with the highlights of this one and all the goals from yesterday's | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
matches and Friday night in the William Hill Scottish Cup. An | :06:39. | :06:48. | |
interesting Celtic team selection because Charlie Mulgrew is so strong | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
for his club and for his country. But the combination of Joe Ledley | :06:55. | :07:05. | |
and his partner could squeeze them out. I think this is the strongest | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
pairing in the Premiership and for the national team at the moment. How | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
is he doing as a player? He has found a new level of maturity as a | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
guy. He has grown up. We see him taking responsibility. Even this | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
season, as the season progresses, and we are not even at Christmas | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
yet, we have seen an improvement and he is now a proper player, enjoying | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
playing in midfield, and a great player for Scotland. So influential | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
for Celtic. They are great with each other and they have done so well | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
with Celtic. The natural progression is to the national team, which has | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
been a revelation. Let's look at a couple of key players for Hearts | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
today. Obviously it is really important how they defend. They have | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
to get that part of it right. So much responsibility for Danny | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
Wilson. Has his game suffered because he is having to look after | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
younger players round about him? Possibly. It is always more | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
difficult when you drop down. It is easier to play with better players. | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
Danny Wilson is only a youngster, only 21, I think. Identity is a | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
natural leader. Talking about his character, he is not a natural | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
leader, but Ryan Stevenson is more energetic and in people's faces. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
Possibly that is what Hearts need. Somebody to grab the game by the | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
scruff of the collar. And when it. I think maybe Danny Wilson's game has | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
suffered but Ryan Stevenson is very important for Hearts. Gary, it has | :08:50. | :08:58. | |
been a massive week for this club off the field. Is there a new-found | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
optimism after that CV was agreed in principle? Yes, I think it gave | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
everyone a huge boost. We have still got a long way to go, but it was | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
great to get a bit of good news for a change. Let's talk on the pitch. A | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
massive game today. Yes, a fantastic game for everyone. Although they are | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
young side, what an occasion to play against the champions, the cup | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
holders, at Tynecastle. They will go out and enjoy the occasion and | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
express themselves and if they do that, hopefully we will get the | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
right result. Pressure off? For me the pressure is on Celtic because | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
everyone expects them to win. The boys can go out and enjoy it and if | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
we are disciplined and play well, then we have players that can cause | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
them problems. Thank you. Have you had a job lifting your squad after | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
the disappointment of Tuesday? Not really. I don't think they have | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
anything to be down about. They competed at the highest level and | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
that is where I want them to compete. We picked up where we left | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
off domestically. It is a competition we are defending and | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
wants to play as strong as we can today. A win against Hearts in the | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
Scottish Cup would provide the perfect tonic anyway. Yes, it is a | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
big ask to qualify in a group as tough as that in the Champions | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
League. We played a play in large parts of it, and that is a positive, | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
and we want to get out there as quick as we can next year and sample | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
it all again. Yes, it is a competition we would dearly love to | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
win. A difficult time away from home but the players will be really | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
motivated. Hard to say the pressure is on Celtic. Do you agree? I don't | :10:41. | :10:54. | |
think I have ever been involved in a game without pressure so it will | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
make no difference to the players. The noise level is beginning to | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
rise. A great venue for any football match. Lots of memories? Yes, Celtic | :11:00. | :11:05. | |
scored a few times here. Always a great place to come and play and a | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
place that you knew you could be beaten, no doubt about it. You | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
always had to be on your game because you were in for a tough | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
match. The fans are fantastic, sticking by the club the way they | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
have. They generate a terrific atmosphere. It is one of the games | :11:21. | :11:37. | |
that they enjoy, Celtic coming here. It has the makings of a great game. | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
Michael, realistic hopes of a cup upset? As I said earlier, as a cup | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
match, there is always an opportunity. A difficult game for | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
Hearts to get anything from, but there is always the opportunity of | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
getting something. We spoke about the Celtic team selection and there | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
is only one change for Hearts. There are not many changes from Gary Locke | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
because there is not much you can do. It is a thankless task at times. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
If guys have dropped in form a little bit, he has got no one to | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
come in and injuries as well. Things that naturally happen through the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
course of the season. Very little to Mitch and Max the team -- very | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
little to mix and match the team. We are all set for an intriguing | :12:20. | :12:27. | |
Scottish Cup tie. The chance to reach the last 16 with coverage | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
coming up from Billy Dodds and our commentator Liam McLeod. | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
The last two winners of the famous trophy going head to head at | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
Tynecastle in the standout tie of this year's fourth round. Heart of | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
Midlothian have bigger battles to fight off the pitch. That will | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
mentally boost that led to stay in the top flight and provide them with | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
a financial return. The problem is they are up against a Celtic side | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
hurting from the midweek European exit. Since their defeat at the | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
hands of Hearts in the semifinals the season before last, they have | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
cantered to victory each time they have come here. Scoring 11 in just | :13:08. | :13:19. | |
three games. The defeat by AC Milan will have also sparked determination | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
from their manager. The least they can do now is retain their league | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
and Scottish Cup double. We are into December, the fourth | :13:26. | :13:40. | |
round of the Scottish Cup, the last of the fourth round ties to be | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
played this weekend. Still something to be sorted out at a later date. | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
Aberdeen getting their place in tomorrow's draw by leading Partick | :13:52. | :13:52. | |
Thistle in the early kick-off today. The players could not ask for better | :13:53. | :14:08. | |
conditions for the game. The pitch looking good and the skies above | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
blue. Floodlights beginning to come on as well. As with all Scottish Cup | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
ties this weekend, there will be a minute's silence observed as a mark | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
of respect for those who lost their lives and those in injured | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
conditions in hospital following the helicopter crash in Glasgow on | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
Friday evening. Gary Locke has a small squad to | :14:31. | :15:57. | |
choose from. But he has decided to start young David Smith on the | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
right, with Ryan Stevenson supporting Callum Paterson. McDonald | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
in goal is the only man in that line-up who started the 2012 | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
Scottish Cup final. Robinson came on as a late sub. | :16:10. | :16:33. | |
There is no one over the age of 20 on the Hearts bench. The King | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
brothers are on it, with Tapping left out from the start. Pukki has | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
two goals for the club, one of those came on his debut here. | :16:46. | :17:05. | |
Positive news on Friday emanating from here. The company voluntary | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
agreement was conditionally agreed for Hearts. There is still work to | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
be done on that front, with a meeting in Lithuania at the end of | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
January. Heart of Midlothian could have been closed during that meeting | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
on Friday. It's a massive, major step in the right direction. This is | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
normally a keenly fought contest, is it not, Billy Dodds? Absolutely. | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
It's going to be really tough. After the result yesterday in this | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
wonderful competition, Rovers knocked out, you wouldn't put | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
anything against Hearts to do something. | :17:50. | :18:03. | |
Celtic really do need to bounce back. Going out of the Scottish Cup | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
is unthinkable to their supporters, after their continental adventure | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
came to an abrupt end on Wednesday. The pre-0 defeat at home to a C | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Milan. A one horse title race will not | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
suffice for them between now and May. | :18:25. | :19:16. | |
Commons gives them it. Wonderful goal from Celtic. Kris Commons had | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
the pleasure of finishing it off, but Hearts have been ripped open in | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
the opening few minutes at Tynecastle, as Celtic take a big | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
step towards the fifth round already. That was the start that | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
Hearts dreaded. Absolutely brilliant play from Kris Commons and Joe | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Ledley. Hearts not in a bad position there. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
You get that start, you can see Neil Lennon absolutely loving it right | :19:45. | :20:28. | |
away. There's a bit of pressure on this game after the result midweek. | :20:29. | :20:34. | |
You can't get a better start than that. He realises that with that | :20:35. | :20:35. | |
celebration. It was too hyper Stokes, Lustig was | :20:36. | :21:27. | |
there. Brown involved in that move, the Celtic captain back in the | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
team. He has now served his suspension in Europe, missed three | :21:33. | :21:33. | |
Champions League matches. A clash of heads between Stevenson | :21:34. | :21:57. | |
and van Dijk. How do Hearts react to this? Just stay in the game. Make | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
sure they don't lose the next goal. It's a hard one for Hearts to take. | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
Young squared, in squad. Make sure they don't lose that | :22:07. | :22:34. | |
second goal. Stevenson has been in good form for Hearts this season. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
Kris Commons has been good, by and large, for Celtic. | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
Wilson have got to try and cover that cross but the shot is already | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
away by then. The last time they met in this competition was the | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
semifinals in 2012. Craig Beattie with a last-minute penalty. | :23:06. | :23:25. | |
It is top of the SPL Premiership against bottom. | :23:26. | :23:44. | |
Hearts pressure -- thing a high line. You've got to be careful what | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
line you hope. He's won the free kick. This is a | :23:51. | :24:36. | |
kind of situation that Hearts need to take advantage of. It's really | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
good for Walker. Once the ball was Biton, he comes in from Charlie | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
Mulgrew. The arm comes out, pulling him back. Too much contact. Really | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
good play, good response from Hearts. Ideal opportunity. | :24:55. | :25:15. | |
It wasn't great, but it's still in there. Hearts fans wanted a penalty | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
there. It almost worked out for Hearts | :25:24. | :25:36. | |
there but the delivery wasn't great. When you put it low like that, | :25:37. | :26:00. | |
there's no problem for him there. It's a free kick this time. Hearts | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
had a penalty shout a couple of seconds ago. You have to use your | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
upper body in the game. Jordan McGhee is just 17 years of | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
age. Celtic came flying out of the | :26:20. | :27:45. | |
traps, they scored inside three minutes to lead this cup tie. | :27:46. | :28:13. | |
As a dear knocking the ball into the middle. -- Izaguirre. Hearts just | :28:14. | :28:28. | |
trying to stay in this game. Joe Ledley, had he found Brown, that | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
might have been a free shot on goal for the Celtic captain. It was | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
brilliant from McGowan, the first header. Stokes was in behind him for | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
a tackle. Turned over by Biton. You can see | :28:42. | :29:11. | |
David Smith just switches off, facing the ball. That allows Biton | :29:12. | :29:12. | |
just to get in behind him. I think Hearts are struggling to get | :29:13. | :29:43. | |
this Celtic system. They may have to allow Hammill to drop onto Kris | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
Commons. Get Stevenson on Charlie Mulgrew. | :29:48. | :29:52. | |
This will be the third time Hearts have had an opportunity to get the | :29:53. | :30:07. | |
ball in. They haven't taken full advantage of the free kick chances | :30:08. | :30:09. | |
they've had already. David Smith, who played against | :30:10. | :30:19. | |
Celtic for Raith Rovers on loan last season, takes the corner. | :30:20. | :30:44. | |
The ball looped up the left channel. There you go. Just that half hourly | :30:45. | :30:56. | |
yard -- half a yard, we are talking about. Celtic played the same four | :30:57. | :31:02. | |
along the six yard box. And we saw this excess AC Milan had in that | :31:03. | :31:14. | |
area. They could not handle it. The two goals from AC Milan came from | :31:15. | :31:16. | |
corners. It looked like Dylan McGowan was | :31:17. | :31:26. | |
going to try and divert the target. The second goal they got was headed | :31:27. | :32:23. | |
right across and they stuck to the back post but nobody reacted from | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
Hearts. The first header was far too easy again for Celtic. | :32:30. | :33:02. | |
Danny Wilson, the Hearts captain this season. He won the Scottish Cup | :33:03. | :33:12. | |
with Rangers. He is the captain but it is sometimes easy to forget that | :33:13. | :33:18. | |
he is only 21. He has done a lot in his young career so far. Rangers, | :33:19. | :33:33. | |
Liverpool alone, then back up here. We know what Ryan Stevenson can do. | :33:34. | :33:42. | |
Celtic won here earlier this season 3-1. Hearts seem to be holding their | :33:43. | :33:55. | |
own. Just seven minutes after they equalised in that game, Anthony | :33:56. | :34:04. | |
Stokes got a late one. He is flagged again. The good thing for Hearts, | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
from their point of view, despite losing the early goal, they have not | :34:09. | :34:21. | |
looked to Rocky. They -- have not looked to Rocky. | :34:22. | :34:40. | |
Jamie Hamill has had a couple of goals this season in the cup. | :34:41. | :34:54. | |
Forster made his England debut in the international friendly | :34:55. | :34:56. | |
double-header, in the game against Chile. England lost that one 2-0, | :34:57. | :35:03. | |
with Sanchez getting both. The referee allowing the advantage | :35:04. | :35:15. | |
for Celtic here. Celtic undefeated in the league this | :35:16. | :35:49. | |
season. One tie is the only time they have dropped points. | :35:50. | :36:12. | |
Virgil van Dijk looked the most impressive of the summer signings | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
brought in by Neil Lennon. He has been a good replacement for Wilson. | :36:19. | :36:26. | |
Big shoes to fill, but bigger issues were Victor and Gary Hooper. | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
Neil Lennon trying to find the right mix up front has had to rotate his | :36:34. | :36:42. | |
front man week by week every month. Trying to find the players that will | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
bring them the kind of goals that Gary Hooper brought them and Anthony | :36:47. | :36:53. | |
Stokes has brought them in the past. Celtic free kick. They have taken it | :36:54. | :37:06. | |
quickly. Kris Commons makes it two! Celtic take out their insurance | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
policy in the capital and it is Kris Commons with a double. It is Hearts | :37:11. | :37:18. | |
zero, Celtic two, so is the game over already? You would think so. | :37:19. | :37:30. | |
You can see Kris Commons to the right. The others switch off. Kris | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
Commons puts it in, but when he gets there, he is showing a ready left | :37:38. | :37:44. | |
foot. That was for the first goal. Right foot for that one. Hearts just | :37:45. | :37:50. | |
switch off. Kris Commons into double figures this season. Hearts are | :37:51. | :38:00. | |
breaking at Tynecastle. All in the opening quarter of this fourth-round | :38:01. | :38:10. | |
tie of the Scottish Cup. And a card for Charlie Mulgrew as well. Hearts | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
get the free kick. It is a long way back now for Hearts. | :38:18. | :38:44. | |
Doesn't matter that inexperience. You must communicate. There is no | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
talking. No communication. No awareness. They could have been | :38:50. | :38:57. | |
telling each other it was on the right shoulder. One quick pass and a | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
seven yard run and he sticks it away. | :39:02. | :39:19. | |
The boys will pick the bones out of it. But you cannot work it away from | :39:20. | :39:29. | |
Celtic. Plenty to talk about if you are Hearts supporter. | :39:30. | :39:39. | |
Defensive mistakes has been a problem for them this season. They | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
are very young squad and they have bigger issues to contend with just | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
now, but the goals they have lost in the league games this season have | :39:51. | :39:58. | |
come from switching off. That inconsistency with young lads. A few | :39:59. | :40:06. | |
great performances this season and then they switch off. That is what | :40:07. | :40:16. | |
has happened in this game. Closing the gap to 12 points, is it? Yes, 12 | :40:17. | :40:26. | |
now. The minus 15 points that they started with as a result of going | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
into administration. They have got back up to minus three. | :40:31. | :40:38. | |
They simply cannot concede another one. Hearts need the next goal. Good | :40:39. | :40:46. | |
run from Stephenson to his right and he did not spot it. He just does not | :40:47. | :40:58. | |
get ahead. That upper body strength we were talking about. Paterson is | :40:59. | :41:05. | |
on the right-hand side and one good password have them through | :41:06. | :41:06. | |
one-on-one. Seven defeats and a draw is all they | :41:07. | :41:19. | |
had to show for their efforts between Aberdeen matches in November | :41:20. | :41:20. | |
and August. Ryan Stevenson did not catch that | :41:21. | :41:49. | |
one but he had no other options. Good run. Nobody in front and he | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
have to take on the shot. Very difficult at the moment to see | :41:54. | :42:48. | |
how Hearts can get back into this. Comments went for the chip and it | :42:49. | :43:14. | |
would have been some way to get a hat-trick. -- Kris Commons. Thee is | :43:15. | :43:22. | |
not the quickest, but once he gets the ball back, you can see the | :43:23. | :43:28. | |
awareness of where McDonald is. Decent save. Brilliant from Kris | :43:29. | :43:35. | |
Commons. Hearts are getting a chasing now. | :43:36. | :43:52. | |
Hibernian are already through. Dundee United, Caledonian Thistle, | :43:53. | :44:04. | |
St Johnstone and Aberdeen as well, who defeated Partick Thistle earlier | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
in the day to get through. Eight teams, four replays, including Queen | :44:09. | :44:17. | |
of the South, St Mirren. Dundee United, Jamie McNamara and assistant | :44:18. | :44:24. | |
manager and coach Darren Jackson, two former Celtic players of course. | :44:25. | :44:30. | |
Wonderful form that they are in just now. 5-2 victory against Kilmarnock. | :44:31. | :44:36. | |
I enjoyed it. They must be having a day off today. Two quick goals just | :44:37. | :44:46. | |
after the break. Never write them off. They keep going at you. | :44:47. | :45:45. | |
They are just weaving tapestries outside the Hearts penalty area, | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
trying to get that defends open again. They are shifting the Hearts | :45:51. | :46:00. | |
formation about so well. Commons coming off, Ben Stokes. Brown will | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
step in there. That's what I'm talking about, they have to | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
communicate. It's pretty difficult when Celtic are shifting about the | :46:09. | :46:09. | |
way they are. Paterson was strong against van | :46:10. | :46:26. | |
Dijk, he was unfortunate there. Van Dijk scored a couple in the recent | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
victory in Dingwall against Ross County. His first two for the club. | :46:31. | :47:18. | |
Celtic could do with a winter break, they are not getting one this year. | :47:19. | :47:44. | |
That was great play by Jamie Walker, driving it back. Ambrose is there. | :47:45. | :48:03. | |
Hearts need something to grasp onto. Better from Walker. He's been a | :48:04. | :48:34. | |
bright spark so far in terms of getting forward, couple of runs. | :48:35. | :49:21. | |
Good first touch from Anthony Stokes. This is on. Celtic are | :49:22. | :49:29. | |
surely now through to the fifth round. We are just beyond the | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
half-hour mark at Tynecastle. It is the Celtic captain, Scott Brown. It | :49:35. | :49:41. | |
is 3-0 to the holders. It's that every again. He's got him, and then | :49:42. | :49:50. | |
he's not. He is onside, but that movement is killing that. Even | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
though he is young, McGhee, he's got to do more here. Hit the shot, | :49:54. | :49:59. | |
deflected onto the post from Joe Ledley and then it just falls to the | :50:00. | :50:03. | |
one that Hearts fans just didn't want it to fall to, Scott Brown. It | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
really is game over. Young McGee is getting killed down | :50:07. | :50:13. | |
that side, isn't he? Hearts are absolutely stunned. | :50:14. | :50:34. | |
Little wonder. It was always going to be a massive challenge for them | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
to knock Celtic out this afternoon. You look at the time and the | :50:39. | :50:42. | |
scoreline. You can fear for them now. | :50:43. | :51:10. | |
The Celtic captain celebrating being back in the team after that European | :51:11. | :51:13. | |
suspension. There were plenty Hearts supporters | :51:14. | :51:34. | |
making for the exits there. I think the game is a bogey. | :51:35. | :51:57. | |
A huge mental test for this young Hearts team. | :51:58. | :52:06. | |
You do not want this to be a trouncing. | :52:07. | :52:22. | |
He raps a foot around it, get it set. There you go. | :52:23. | :52:42. | |
Celtic were in Amsterdam when the draw was made. The day before they | :52:43. | :52:49. | |
played Ajax in Amsterdam and the draw was made. He is shaking his | :52:50. | :52:55. | |
head a little bit in the media box when he was asked about the draw and | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
his reaction. He acknowledged how difficult he thought it was going to | :53:01. | :53:02. | |
be. The last time they met in the | :53:03. | :53:23. | |
Scottish Cup at Tynecastle, it was pre-see that Celtic won by in | :53:24. | :53:29. | |
February 2004. Martin O'Neill's team. Paul Hartpury and Alan Maybury | :53:30. | :53:38. | |
were both sent off late on in that game. | :53:39. | :53:57. | |
You feel for the Hearts young lads. It's a tough one for them. Here is | :53:58. | :54:07. | |
this movement again from Celtic, threatening through by Ledley. They | :54:08. | :54:14. | |
are 3-0 down, it might just be damage limitation for Gary Locke. | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
You would think at some point they would open out a little bit. But if | :54:20. | :54:27. | |
they open out... Celtic might just find more room. You worry about | :54:28. | :54:30. | |
Hearts because Celtic look like they can just cut through them when they | :54:31. | :54:32. | |
want. It doesn't get any easier for | :54:33. | :54:50. | |
Hearts. The weekend they go to inform Dundee United in the | :54:51. | :54:51. | |
Premiership. Celtic go to Motherwell on Friday | :54:52. | :54:57. | |
night. A challenge across from Kevin | :54:58. | :55:27. | |
McHattie. Last season, Kevin McHattie made | :55:28. | :55:35. | |
that back left slot his own. We've talked about the movement from | :55:36. | :56:53. | |
the Celtic front players and the midfield players, but you've got | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
these two fullbacks bombing forward at will. So hard to communicate, | :56:58. | :57:04. | |
talks, switch about, realise who is where in the park. | :57:05. | :57:15. | |
What do you do with five minutes to half time? What do you do at | :57:16. | :57:22. | |
half-time for Gary Locke in this situation? The only thing that will | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
get them back is getting the next goal. To do that, you've got your | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
work cut out. You feel that Celtic have just ripped them apart. | :57:33. | :57:35. | |
Sometimes you just have to say damage limitation. It's a hard one | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
for him, he's a young manager as well, he's got young players out on | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
the pitch. They have to try and get back in the game. Try and match up, | :57:43. | :57:51. | |
maybe even play a diamond so that the inexperienced boys out there... | :57:52. | :57:53. | |
They know what they are doing, it's a basic job, they will see where | :57:54. | :57:56. | |
they go. The fourth arrives. Joe Ledley, who | :57:57. | :58:31. | |
scored in last season's final, ensures that Celtic are taking a | :58:32. | :58:35. | |
Sunday stroll down on easy Street in this fourth-round tie. 4-0, not even | :58:36. | :58:37. | |
half-time. Talking about those fullbacks | :58:38. | :58:48. | |
getting forward, Lustig, what a ball that was. Just throwing yourself in | :58:49. | :58:53. | |
there to get a tap on it. Ledley does exactly that. Brilliant again | :58:54. | :58:55. | |
from Celtic. It was the Welshman who added the | :58:56. | :59:10. | |
cherry to the top of the kick in the final win over hip Ernie and in May. | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
-- Hibernian. The Celtic fans will be absolutely | :59:16. | :59:23. | |
loving this. And that's the fifth! What a fit it | :59:24. | :59:52. | |
was from Lustig! That is an absolute stunner! | :59:53. | :00:03. | |
Lustig breaks forward in a central area, get in this right, cutting | :00:04. | :00:13. | |
into the central area. He has Stokes making the run. He's not using | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
Stokes, he's hitting it from 25 yards. It flies over MacDonald! A | :00:18. | :00:27. | |
great strike. You fear for Hearts, you really do. Young manager, young | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
players, all over the place will stop where can they go from here? I | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
don't think there are many managers have to face this. Unbelievably | :00:36. | :00:51. | |
Celtic find themselves doing high-fives before the interval. The | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
Hearts fans have spent the last year and a half enjoying five goals when | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
they beat Hibernian 5-1 in the final. A taste of their own medicine | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
in this cup tie. The quality of the majority of the goals were sent it | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
-- for Celtic have been exquisite. There was a concern for Hearts that | :01:18. | :01:35. | |
there would be a backlash from Celtic's point of view because of | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
what happened in the Champions League on Tuesday. The nightmare is | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
reality here. Brown looking for Celtic's six and | :01:45. | :02:01. | |
nearly finding it. He gets himself round the back. On a sixpence. The | :02:02. | :02:12. | |
only man in that six yard box for Celtic. It could have been six, you | :02:13. | :02:21. | |
are right. He doesn't look too happy that he will be ecstatic, Neil | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
Lennon. One minute of stoppage added onto | :02:27. | :02:37. | |
the end after that great play from Jamie Walker. Nearly consolation | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
before the interval. A great shot saved well but he keeps his clean | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
sheet. A great shot from Forster. Not the best of times recently. Good | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
effort. And it is half-time and from | :02:54. | :03:07. | |
Hearts's point of view they will be gutted it is not full-time. They | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
want this game over and done with an Celtic looked to have done it | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
already. Kris Commons with a double. This was the opener, with Joe Ledley | :03:17. | :03:25. | |
finding him. The second arrived after a quick free kick that found | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
Kris Commons, 2-0. The third came from the former Hibernian midfielder | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
Scott Brown after Joe Ledley's efforts deflected off the post. Joe | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
Ledley himself got on the scoresheet at 42. The ball coming in with | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Mikael Lustig finding the back post. They just before half-time, the pick | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
of the bunch from Mikael Lustig, the Swedish international, and we have | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
an unbelievable scoreline at half-time of heart of Midlothian | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
nil, Celtic five. I think we can safely assume that the name of | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
Celtic is in tomorrow's draw for the fifth round of the William Hill | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
Scottish Cup. And already embarrassing scoreline could get | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
considerably worse before we finish. Let's hear from Michael Stewart, | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
former Hearts midfielder, and former Celtic striker Mark McGhee. What a | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
performance from the lemon's team. -- from Neil Lennon's team. After | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
they lost to AC Milan, they have changed the shape completely, going | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
to a diamond, and the way they have executed it is textbook. The | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
movement, the exchange of play and positions, as just bamboozled | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
Hearts. You could see how they wanted to put Celtic under pressure | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
but they could not get near them and Celtic have picked them. Celtic have | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
been amazing. You work on most in training. They would not have even | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
got the goals that they have got here today. They have shaped like a | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
diamond at I did not think it would be a trouncing before the game but | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
it well and truly has turned into one. They have picked the Hearts | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
off. All credit to Neil Lennon and the coaching staff because Hearts | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
have not been able to live with Celtic with that diamond in | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
midfield. What can they do? It is very difficult. You talk about them | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
matching up, or the Hearts fullbacks trying to engage with the Celtic | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
fullbacks, but then you are opening up and offering gaps and holes. We | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
have seen so far in the first half that Celtic exploited every hole | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
that Hearts offered to them. The Hearts players will be in there, | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
talking about it, saying someone had to pick up the right midfield | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
player. And Hearts will be saying, who is the right midfield player? | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
One minute Joe Ledley is over there, Mikael Lustig is over there, and the | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
interchange is just... You cannot draw the position is that the Celtic | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
players have played in because they have interchanged so much. It is so | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
difficult. Then at the end of it, as individuals, they have played well. | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Control has been good, they have been strong on the ball, they have | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
played well. They have played very well. Hearts in the second half, | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
well, they have a big job on. We will talk more about this match | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
shortly. Hearts fans might want to disappear! Let's recap what happened | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
in the other Scottish Cup tie which was played at Firhill at 12:45pm. | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Andrew Considine got the only goal of the game for Aberdeen and they go | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
through to the last 16 of the competition. You can see highlights | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
of that one and this one as well and the best of Friday and Saturday in | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
the Scottish Cup tonight. Games are so often about setting the tone from | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
kick-off. Celtic could not have done it any better. They were slick, | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
quick, and so effective. And ahead after two minutes and 21 seconds. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
They did not want Celtic to get an early goal because it confirms | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
everything they have been working on. It gives them confidence, spring | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
in their step, the platform to go on and win the game. You could see | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
Hearts wanting to step on and get close to Celtic. Already the | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
movement and positions that they took up with Hearts trying to work | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
out who was playing well. Really difficult. Celtic passing the ball, | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
making lots of passes. Everybody wanting the ball, everybody taking | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
everybody on the move. You do not see a Hearts player getting within | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
two yards off the ball. Getting into the final third and showing that bit | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
of quality, it is just textbook stuff from Celtic. And the finish | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
was fantastic. Right across the goalkeeper. And it is clipping the | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
post. It could not have been better place. No chance for the goalkeeper. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
There is no pressure on the ball because of the movement and the work | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
that Celtic are dimming. It does not allow Hearts any opportunity to get | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
anywhere near. Going one goal behind after three minutes is bad enough. | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
Hearts could not afford to switch off, but they did. Massive credit to | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
Celtic for switching on at this moment when the free kick was | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
awarded but Hearts could not afford to switch off. When they get a free | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
kick, you have to switch on, the opposite. You can see the two Hearts | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
players looking at where the free kick will be taken, with their backs | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
to the player. Then he makes his run. You can't be doing that. You | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
have to have an urgency, regrouping, calling people, facing | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
the ball, getting Hearts players in front of the ball. The referee goes | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
to tell him to take it quickly, they turn away and he scores. This | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
epitomises the character that he is full Celtic, the exact opposite of | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
everything we have spoken about from a Hearts perspective. He is switched | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
on. He has taken the ball, take on it, walking forward. He is already | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
looking and thinking what can I do? Straight on the ball, boom. Celtic | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
have been so clinical today. I think the build-up to goal number three | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
underlines the difficulties that Hearts are having in coping with the | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Celtic system. Yes. We spoke about it for the first goal as well. He | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
starred in the left back position. Over to the right, there is no | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
pressure on the ball, they have all the time in the world. You have | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
quality players like that. Great control from Anthony Stokes. Then it | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
lands at Scott Brown's feet. The Tynecastle crowd are devastated. But | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
there is no pressure from Hearts on the ball because of the movement | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
that Celtic have been making in the middle of the pitch. The movement | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
has been fantastic. When you have got quality, you cannot be affording | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
that time and space because you will be punished and Celtic have done | :10:27. | :10:34. | |
that so well today. 3-0 with Scott Brown scoring there. But worse to | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
come for Hearts. It is gratifying for a football team when what you | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
work on on the training ground comes to fruition on match day. This may | :10:42. | :10:52. | |
be exemplifies that, number four. Gary Parker and the staff must be | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
looking at this. It could not have gone as well as it has. It has been | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
off the training ground. The quality as well. This ball across, that is | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
just inviting the ball to be put in the net. That was about my distance! | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
Fantastic bit of play. From the foot. The previous goal when it was | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
switched from right to left, and then the diagonal, and onto Anthony | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
Stokes. This switch in play. Charlie Mulgrew at the centre. A fantastic | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
cross. A lot of Celtic players have come into that, through the middle, | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
which is attracting the Hearts players into the middle. Then the | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
Celtic fullbacks have given them whip at the top. Emilio Izaguirre | :11:44. | :11:53. | |
came into Mikael Lustig. They have punished them as well because Kevin | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
McHattie was too far over. There has been no margin for error for Hearts. | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
Every time they have made a mistake, they have been punished. In this | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
one, Mikael Lustig drove forward and then planted one in off the | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
crossbar. It is a ridiculous shot that gives the keeper no chance. It | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
is borne out of confidence. The full-back does not score a lot but | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
he has a pop because anything can happen today. The effort stuns | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
Hearts. Four was bad enough but then five in off the crossbar is getting | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
beyond. Very difficult. How worried is Gary Locke in the dressing room | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
about this taking an record-breaking proportions? Very worried. There is | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
no sign of an improvement in the first half. It is not as though in | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
the last five minutes they seemed to be on top of the game. A very | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
inexperienced team and we were talking about this during the first | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
half. It is not as if it is a team of experienced guys who know what is | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
going on. There is no one who can say, right, this is what we need to | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
do to shore things up. An inexperienced team will get | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
overwhelmed and does not know how to come back. Gary Locke will be | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
anxious in the changing room to get the message over about how to stop | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
this dominant performance from Celtic. It has not been difficult | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
pulling together the Hearts shots on target because there were not many. | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
This one from Paterson was never going to find its way past Fraser | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Forster. They have ventured over there rarely. Up until the second | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
goal, if you edited out the first goal, Hearts were up for it. They | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
were trying to secure whatever plan they had. Trying to get the Celtic | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
back four under pressure. It was terrific play there. Unlucky not to | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
end up as a goal. It will be a consolation, whatever they get. The | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
manager has now got a difficult task. He have to change the shape or | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
make some allowance for the shape that Celtic are playing. He also | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
have to convince his players. Look at the Celtic team and what we are | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
at the moment. You are a group of young guys. He have to give them | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
something, something to feel better about, something to give it a go in | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
the second half and have some pride. They are entitled to do that because | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
if you look at the difference between the teams, Celtic are the | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Champions League team, the Champions League players are melting, -- | :14:31. | :14:39. | |
emerging. I think the manager has got to forgive them and send them | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
out with a little bit of help, as it were, to go into the second half and | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
give it a go. Discount the first half. It is gone. Now work on the | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
second half performance. It is 5-0 at half-time. Let's recapture rest | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
of the story this weekend in the fourth round of the William Hill | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
Scottish Cup. Dundee United had a difficult time against Kilmarnock | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
but came through in the end. Scoring for fun at the moment. 5-2 winners. | :15:10. | :15:43. | |
Hibs, Terry Butcher's first winners manager there. | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
We will show you some of the key moments from some of those other | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
games a little bit later on. Its eyes down for the second half of | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
this one at Tynecastle. Is it all about what Celtic want to do, do | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
they want to score another five? How many times have we been in a game | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
like this where rates five at half-time? Celtic didn't want that | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
game to end, they will have wanted to keep playing and playing and get | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
as many goals as they possibly could. They have to pick it up again | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
now. It will be interesting to see if Celtic can maintain that | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
performance. Is a damage limitation for Hearts? It's got to be. You've | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
got to get some sort of pride out of the game. That will come from almost | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
discarding the first half, looking at it starting 0-0. The Celtic crowd | :16:48. | :16:55. | |
want to get the same score in the second half. There's been some sort | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
of tactical change from the Hearts manager here. They had to do | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
something. They couldn't have gone out and carried on the way they did | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
in the first. Halfway through, Celtic are five goals in front. Here | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
is the second half with Billy Dodds and Liam McLeod. | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
Hearts, it was a 7-0 loss to hip Ernie, that match on New Year's Day | :17:19. | :17:38. | |
in 1973, here at Tynecastle. They will be looking to salvage some | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
kind of pride from proceedings tonight. Dusk has fallen on | :17:47. | :17:54. | |
Edinburgh. It is van Dijk for Celtic, who go hunting a sixth goal. | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
How does it look as though Hearts are going second half, Billy? Brad | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
McKay has gone into the right centre half and they pushed McGowan into | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
midfield. Trying to get a defensive midfield, protect, try and get a | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
hold of this Celtic movement. Paterson has come to the right hand | :18:19. | :18:25. | |
side as well. No changes for Celtic at the | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
interval. They are onto the back four again. | :18:35. | :19:14. | |
Lustig, just getting himself high up the pitch. It's another quality | :19:15. | :19:20. | |
cross. Nobody on the end of that one. | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
This is the 25th time they've been drawn together in the Scottish Cup. | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
Including repays -- plays, it's the 30th meeting. | :19:34. | :19:41. | |
The first meeting was in the final in 1901. Hearts won at 4-3. | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
It was a lovely touch from Stevenson. | :19:52. | :21:08. | |
Just make sure they don't lose this second-half, get some pride back. | :21:09. | :22:17. | |
Gary Locke had so many injuries as a player. He was suited up for that | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
final. He has Brown on his right shoulder | :22:23. | :23:15. | |
but realises the cross is going to the front post area. | :23:16. | :23:27. | |
We know how dangerous the left foot of Charlie Mulgrew is. | :23:28. | :24:07. | |
This is as good as Celtic have zipped the ball about all season. | :24:08. | :24:33. | |
Gary Locke will stick this on the analysis and go through what Hearts | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
could have done. You need to teach young lads, make sure they know not | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
to switch off. It is the only way you will learn as a youngster. | :24:46. | :24:57. | |
Apart from three players, everyone is 22 or younger in the heart | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
line-up. -- heart line-up. I mentioned there were a lot of | :25:02. | :25:19. | |
Hearts fans leaving in the wake of the fourth and fifth goals. But | :25:20. | :25:20. | |
there are plenty who have stayed. Jamie Walker is a talent. Kevin | :25:21. | :25:41. | |
McHattie was one of the players who came in last season when they did | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
have a bigger squad. Jamie Walker is another. The Hearts Young Player of | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
the Year is in. -- season. McGowan, his brother, Ryan, scored | :25:51. | :26:21. | |
in the Scottish Cup final of 2012. Dylan won't be repeating that feat | :26:22. | :26:39. | |
this season. He has hurt himself. I don't know if | :26:40. | :26:56. | |
he has landed awkwardly, holding the ankle. He was on his way out for the | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
header. It was from a long way out as well. | :27:01. | :27:10. | |
An awkward one for McHattie to defend, the way it was zipped in. | :27:11. | :28:41. | |
You want to be positive but sometimes you learn better with a | :28:42. | :28:48. | |
negative. Neil Lennon celebrating his 200th game in charge of Celtic | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
this afternoon. If you think back to one of his first in this | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
competition, when he lost to Ross County in the semifinals, it has | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
been a turnaround. A couple of Champions League adventures as well | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
in the midst of all that. OK, it hasn't gone as well as he would have | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
liked it to have gone this season in that very, very challenging group. | :29:08. | :29:13. | |
But to get there, having come through three qualifiers as well, | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
he'll be quite happy with that when he looks back at this season, even | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
happier if he's got two pieces of silverware to go with it again. | :29:21. | :29:57. | |
It's a penalty kick. Celtic do have the chance for a sixth. You can bet | :29:58. | :30:04. | |
Kris Commons will try and find this ball. He will want his hat-trick. | :30:05. | :30:11. | |
It's just rubbing it in, isn't it? Ledley could have had the strike. | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
Mulgrew could have taken himself, goes back to Commons. That is | :30:16. | :30:21. | |
harsh. I can't believe he has given that. His hand is down, it's the | :30:22. | :30:30. | |
Poor decision. -- poor decision. There should be no sympathy. That's | :30:31. | :30:36. | |
not a penalty. He's only a yard away, kicks off him, hand down. When | :30:37. | :30:44. | |
it's not your day it's your day. It could be Kris Commons' day. A chance | :30:45. | :30:46. | |
for his hat-trick. Celtic looking for their sixth, and | :30:47. | :31:04. | |
they have it. That is clinical from Collins, I didn't expect anything | :31:05. | :31:10. | |
else on the day he is having. There was no chance of stopping that. A | :31:11. | :31:18. | |
wonderful free kick from him, right into the bottom corner. And they got | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
this penalty because of the handball from Danny Wilson. Individually you | :31:23. | :31:41. | |
have got to look at that goal. It is a poor decision. Celtic making a | :31:42. | :31:58. | |
change. What Hearts don't want to see is a midfielder being replaced | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
by a striker. This is a chance for the substitute | :32:05. | :32:34. | |
to get some confidence. Neil Lennon is desperate for him to get on the | :32:35. | :32:36. | |
scoresheet. Celtic are getting plenty of | :32:37. | :33:17. | |
opportunities so I wouldn't put it past him to score. Celtic are going | :33:18. | :33:26. | |
into a situation where they have league fixtures coming up, but they | :33:27. | :33:28. | |
need to be in contention to stay up. Celtic trying to keep the pressure | :33:29. | :34:06. | |
on here. Kris Commons taking his tally to 11 | :34:07. | :34:38. | |
this afternoon. I think that sums up the way things are going for him | :34:39. | :34:40. | |
right now, a little slip in the box. Celtic have been hungry this | :34:41. | :35:41. | |
afternoon, they want more. Hearts, sending everyone back to defend. | :35:42. | :35:51. | |
Ledley. Another break of the ball goes Celtic's way. | :35:52. | :36:00. | |
That will be a goal kick. It is all or nothing from him, and Commons not | :36:01. | :36:23. | |
happy, as you can see. He quit the national team in May, Commons. We | :36:24. | :36:36. | |
have seen this season the Kris Commons we saw when he first arrived | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
at Celtic. He was a star for them in the second half of that season. | :36:43. | :37:08. | |
Still Celtic come, and Ledley to McDonald. How Hearts would love to | :37:09. | :37:19. | |
have that man in the maroon shirt once again. He scored twice in the | :37:20. | :37:30. | |
final against Hibs. He scored in the 2006 final as well in penalties. You | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
think he could have made a difference today? No. | :37:38. | :37:45. | |
Almost! That was a really good strike for him. That was a good | :37:46. | :38:11. | |
strike for Hamill. Earlier today, Aberdeen going through against | :38:12. | :38:27. | |
Partick Thistle, Andrew concert -- Concerdine with the goal. | :38:28. | :39:20. | |
Kris Commons looking more like himself and Izaguirre looking more | :39:21. | :39:32. | |
like himself at times as well. This will be the second change for | :39:33. | :40:04. | |
Hearts, Ryan Stevenson being warmly applauded by the supporters, most of | :40:05. | :40:07. | |
whom have stayed to watch this horror movie that is playing out in | :40:08. | :40:11. | |
front of them on their home patch. Good play from Celtic again, they | :40:12. | :41:10. | |
have been passing the ball well all day. Ledley involved there. He is | :41:11. | :41:18. | |
still to sign the contract that is on the table with Celtic if he wants | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
it. Will he stay or will he go? It just gets over his head, a let | :41:23. | :42:03. | |
off for Hearts. Celtic looking for cup number 37 this season, nobody | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
has won it more. Used a little touch, a little Bohm, | :42:10. | :42:19. | |
coming together. It is a free kick. What can Hearts make of this? Trying | :42:20. | :42:43. | |
to put some kind of respect on the scoreline. | :42:44. | :42:54. | |
Here is Stokes. Four team-mates with their arms stretched, asking, "where | :42:55. | :43:10. | |
is the past? " -- pass. Fisher will be on for Celtic in a | :43:11. | :43:40. | |
moment. Celtic will wait until this corner kick is defended. Jamie | :43:41. | :43:58. | |
Walker giving Celtic of physical advantage in the penalty area. | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
Trying to keep this alive, the hosts. | :44:03. | :44:14. | |
Fair play to Hearts, they have continued to fight for the cause. | :44:15. | :44:35. | |
Hearts, claiming an arm. It is going to be a Celtic goal kick. Nothing | :44:36. | :44:57. | |
there. Nothing doing. Here is the change, it is like for like. Lustig | :44:58. | :45:11. | |
off, Fisher on. That was a great save by MacDonald. | :45:12. | :46:44. | |
Still alive, though. Brown! That's seven! Hearts are heading for a | :46:45. | :46:54. | |
record defeat. Scott Brown leather is home Celtic's seventh. It is | :46:55. | :46:57. | |
seventh heaven for the holders! It was McKay's legs, Brown just had | :46:58. | :47:13. | |
to strike. Takes a deflection, MacDonald had gone the wrong way. | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
He's going for it. Celtic have been brilliant. | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
It's been a horrible afternoon for Hearts. We keep going back to it, | :47:23. | :47:59. | |
they have got a bigger fight on their hands. They will know more | :48:00. | :48:02. | |
about the future of the club come January. Boerrigter, about to come | :48:03. | :48:10. | |
on for Celtic. The foundation of Hearts, they can't | :48:11. | :48:30. | |
-- third bidder, will hopefully take control of the club then. | :48:31. | :48:41. | |
It doesn't matter how many Celtic put past them today, that is | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
obviously more important to them long term. But this will hurt. | :48:48. | :49:01. | |
Boerrigter comes on to replace Kris Commons. Listen to the ovation this | :49:02. | :49:31. | |
man is about to receive. Quite rightly so. His finishes are | :49:32. | :49:38. | |
excellent. The first two, one left foot, right in the corner, and then | :49:39. | :49:41. | |
a right foot finish as well, and then gets a hat-trick with a | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
penalty. It's a great day for Kris Commons. | :49:46. | :50:34. | |
May be as good a performance he has seen domestically away from home | :50:35. | :50:37. | |
since he took the reins. Final change for Hearts. They are | :50:38. | :51:36. | |
going to bring an Adam King. He has been in and around the first team | :51:37. | :51:37. | |
for a wee while now. He is replacing Jamie Hamill. Not a | :51:38. | :51:46. | |
good day for Jamie Hamill and cold. It's a debut for Adam King. Not | :51:47. | :51:54. | |
ideal. As easy game Celtic have had here at | :51:55. | :52:21. | |
Tynecastle, it means so titanic tussles between these two clubs at | :52:22. | :52:27. | |
Tynecastle in particular over the years. This never threatened to be | :52:28. | :52:34. | |
one of them. Anthony Stokes has still not scored today. | :52:35. | :52:48. | |
The 2012 winners have been well beaten by the 2013 winners. | :52:49. | :53:37. | |
Hearts don't want to be the team that goes into the record books 8-0 | :53:38. | :54:13. | |
defeat. We know that van Dijk has been | :54:14. | :55:48. | |
watched by the Dutch national side scouts. | :55:49. | :56:38. | |
The one thing you have to say is that Hearts, their players, they've | :56:39. | :56:44. | |
kept trying. It's not like they've thrown in the towel. Can they take | :56:45. | :56:52. | |
anything from the second half? That is professionalism, that pride we | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
were talking about. Call it what you like. | :56:57. | :57:05. | |
The midfielders have come to the fore for Celtic today. | :57:06. | :57:29. | |
Already through to tomorrow's drawer, Hibs, Alloa, Albion Rovers, | :57:30. | :57:54. | |
Raith Rovers, Inverness, St Johnstone and Aberdeen. Celtic about | :57:55. | :57:56. | |
to join them. Celtic corner. That deflection | :57:57. | :58:20. | |
nearly got him that hat-trick. Celtic have been insatiable, | :58:21. | :58:45. | |
rampant. They just want to go home now, | :58:46. | :59:21. | |
Hertfordshire. You tend to forget these lads, especially with the | :59:22. | :59:25. | |
17-year-old, it's a lovely run from him, good ball by Carrick, delivers | :59:26. | :59:27. | |
a wonderful cross. When you think back to the size of | :59:28. | :59:39. | |
the Hearts squad from a few years back, their years under Vladimir | :59:40. | :59:43. | |
Romanov, at the different nationalities that were here as | :59:44. | :59:48. | |
well. When you look at the back of today's match day programme and you | :59:49. | :59:52. | |
looked at the players, all but one are Scottish. Dylan McGowan is the | :59:53. | :59:54. | |
exception, the Australian. With the wages being thrown about | :59:55. | :00:01. | |
them as well. What a task Gary Locke has had this | :00:02. | :00:20. | |
year. MacDonald has missed that time. Swept away by McGee. | :00:21. | :00:39. | |
Izaguirre. Is it going to get worse for Hearts? | :00:40. | :01:26. | |
Celtic fans would happily watch this all night. Still stringing the | :01:27. | :01:49. | |
passes together. I heard a whistle, he doesn't agree with the decision. | :01:50. | :02:18. | |
It is a Hearts free kick. Well into the 90th minute. We are about to | :02:19. | :02:35. | |
find out how much longer Gary Locke will have to suffer. They will have | :02:36. | :02:42. | |
two grams up their players when they go into training next. | :02:43. | :02:52. | |
One minute being added on to the end. A bit of sympathy from the | :02:53. | :03:02. | |
match officials, you feel. But they had to prioritise, Gary Locke will | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
tell them to try and forget about it. He will show them a few things | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
that can make them better players but they have a few games coming up | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
over the festive period so they have a few games that can put them back | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
into that relegation battle and close the deficit. Sadly, one of | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
those games is against Celtic in Glasgow. Well into the final minute | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
now. There is the final whistle, that | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
torture is over for Hearts. Celtic celebrate a magnificent victory, and | :03:47. | :03:56. | |
Neil Lennon's 200th game in charge of the club. | :03:57. | :04:10. | |
It was 5-0 before the interval! A wonderful performance from Celtic, | :04:11. | :04:26. | |
but this equals the worst ever result for Hearts, they lost 7-0 | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
against him Bernie and in January 1973. Now they have lost 7-0 in the | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
fourth round of the William Hill Scottish cup. Scott Brown goes up | :04:41. | :04:46. | |
the tunnel, two goals himself today. He has his eye, double | :04:47. | :05:00. | |
himself. -- his eye on the double. Conclusive, emphatic... You can come | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
up with your own objective to describe that crushing defeat for | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Hearts. Celtic through to the fifth round of the William Hill Scottish | :05:16. | :05:22. | |
cup. How good, Mark McGhee, were Celtic? I thought they were | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
brilliant. Their movement, if you could have watched it from above the | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
pitch you would have seen a variety of movement, interchange of play, | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
quality of passing, good decisions and fantastic finishing. The Hearts | :05:39. | :05:50. | |
team were exposed. Maybe it could have been three, four, five, not | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
seven, but they have to put this aside. Kris Commons is pitch side. | :05:57. | :06:16. | |
It is good to get confidence from this, and now onwards and upwards. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
There was always that feeling that you could slip up. Know, every time | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
we are playing we are expected to win and when we put our minds to it | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
we are match for anyone inside Europe. Is that as good as you have | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
played in a Celtic jersey? I think the whole team performance in the | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
first half was outstanding and it is the players around me that make me | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
the player I am. Without Charlie and the other players I am useless but I | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
am blessed with a group of good players around me. You have your | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
shooting boots on today. Yes, it is the hardest one that I have ever | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
scored, the tap in, and the deflection for the second one, but I | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
will take them all. How difficult was it to bounce back from the | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
disappointment of Tuesday? We had faith in ourselves, and the tempo we | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
set was incredible. Is there a feeling within the squad but when it | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
clicks for this side, it really clicks? Yes, I think it is the same | :07:33. | :07:44. | |
for every side. The lads are on fire and hopefully it will continue. | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
Obviously there is no one you would fear in the draw, is there anyone | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
you would like? We will see what happens. The most important thing is | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
that we try to retain this cup. Thank you, well done. | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
Five goals between them, seven in total for Celtic. How do you | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
describe that from a Hearts viewpoint? Extremely disappointing. | :08:10. | :08:17. | |
In the grand scheme of things, it is a result that was possible because | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
there is a huge gulf in class and experience of the two teams. Celtic | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
were on top form today and Hearts were way below par but goals change | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
games, and we saw the first goal after two minutes and 20 seconds | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
which really set the tone and emphasised the difference in the | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
teams, in what went on to be a theme through the day. A great interchange | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
in the movement from Celtic and Hearts hardly got anywhere near the | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
ball. There were five goals in the first half. Yes, they were blown | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
away. I think they would have prepared well for this game, they | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
would have been talking about Celtic and their shape, and then I think | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
their shape would have been a surprise to them. Before they had | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
chance to get to grips with their shape, they found themselves two | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
goals down and it is difficult to make the change while it is | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
happening. This is a real self-inflicted goal. The other | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
ones, great play from Celtic obviously. We spoke about Hearts not | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
being able to get to grips with their shape, but their second goal, | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
a quick free kick, that is one that will irk the Hearts management. You | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
felt the roof really fell in for Hearts. The Celtic shape caused them | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
to switch off, they were already feeling sorry for themselves, and | :10:09. | :10:21. | |
when Charlie McGrew took his free kick, several of them were already | :10:22. | :10:35. | |
walking away. This happened right through the game, the two fullbacks | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
were up the pitch for Celtic, exploiting the narrowness of the | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Hearts defence, which have been caused because of Celtic's shape. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
This was a wonderful goal and it is because of the confidence flooding | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
through the team. They think, "I am going to have a pop and anything can | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
happen. " how much was this Celtic making a | :11:01. | :11:14. | |
statement? We wondered if they would have any hangover from going out of | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Europe, if they would be feeling sorry for themselves. We heard that | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
that would not be the case, and that they wanted to win the cup and win | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
the league, so I think they have put down a marker. Everybody knows they | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
are the team to beat. They have shown huge intent because everybody | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
knows Celtic are going to win the league, but going out of Europe it | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
falls on the Scottish cup and there is an incentive to make the season a | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
success because if they only win the league it is fairly disappointing | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
season for Celtic. They need to do the double again to emphasise having | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
a successful season and today they really showed that they are going | :12:00. | :12:07. | |
all guns blazing to do double again. There was certainly no sympathy vote | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
from the referee in the award of the penalty, which we will get two in a | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
moment, but let's get more reaction from downstairs. We have heard from | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
Kris Commons, and Scott Brown scored twice as well. We will hear from him | :12:23. | :12:32. | |
shortly with Gary Locke, but now Neil Lennon. It is the best | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
performance I have had in my time as manager. In terms of Utopia, that is | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
as good as it gets. That is the way we want them to play and the -- it | :12:45. | :12:54. | |
was everything I could have asked for. People getting the ball, | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
getting in the box, the passing, it was all there in evidence today and | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
it wouldn't have mattered who we played today in that form. Right | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
from the start, it really clicked today. Yes, obviously I wanted a | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
reaction from them after Tuesday night but they are great team, some | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
great players, and they showed that today. There is no shame in going | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
out of the Champions League, they were competing at the highest | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
level, and now they have put down a marker for the rest of the season. | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
You must have been pleased that even 5-0 ahead at the end of the first | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
half, they still pushed. We asked them to play the game as if it was | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
0-0, and like I said we couldn't have asked for any more. It has been | :13:50. | :13:58. | |
an all-round fantastic day. Do you feel it was a statement after | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Tuesday? Yes, there has been a lot of criticism, some justified, some | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
unjustified, but we wanted to let everybody know that we are still an | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
excellent side. The players have set the bar high, haven't they? Yes, I'm | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
not expecting them to play like that every week, but particularly the | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
first 45 is as good as I have ever seen and it could have been more. | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
Everything you want from your team, I got today. Not a bad way to | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
celebrate 200 games in charge. Yes, it is a nice milestone, a great | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
privilege being in the manager 's' club. A lot of managers first time | :14:52. | :14:59. | |
round don't see 50 games, so it is very pleasing but I want longevity | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
in the job and 200 is a nice marker to hit. No one would have hurt more | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
than him at Celtic's campaign in Europe ending during the week. You | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
can sense a warm glow of satisfaction about today. He's right | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
what he said. I'd be surprised if they played, in terms of the purist | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
sense, the football they played in the first half. He talked about the | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
Speed, the fitness, quality of touch of the team. It all came together. | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
It was a sensational performance. You look at the opposition, you have | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
to look at it and wonder about the quality. I don't doubt they would | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
have beaten anybody today, whether it would have been seven against a | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
better side, I don't know. You can't take anything away from Celtic | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
today. They certainly didn't need any help, did they get some from the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
referee? It was an extremely harsh decision. Apart from the fact it is | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
point-blank close range. You see here in the close-up that Danny | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
Wilson's arms are effectively behind his back almost. It's not as if what | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
people talk about an unnatural position. Just down by his side. A | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
yard at best. I think he could have given himself a second and realised | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
that it is a harsh penalty and, given the fact that Celtic five up, | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
he should maybe have just let that one go. That is not taken away from | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
Kris Commons, who got his hat-trick with that. It was a sublime finish | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
right in the corner great penalty. A keeper has no chance of saving a | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
penalty like that. That was 6-0 Celtic, that scoreline pretty | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
quickly became 7-0. Goals are fairly rare commodities, maybe becoming a | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
bit more regular of late, a double, he will be celebrating that one. | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
With his left foot at well. It comes after a decent pass. We looked at | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
how quickly Hearts reacted to the save. Stokes reacts first. Big | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
deflection. You expect Hearts, even at this stage in the game, you do | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
expect them to react better to that. They don't really go to it. They | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
allow him to cross the ball. You expect Hearts to have someone flying | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
in to try and prevent the cross. Hearts lost a goal last weekend at | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
Ross County and they had nine players around the box with nobody | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
closing the ball down. Very similar to that. Ross County got the ball | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
and put it back in, broke to the edge of the box and that was very | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
similar to the goal there from Scott Brown. MacDonald makes a fantastic | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
save, breaks Anthony Stokes on the byline. He's got ten yards of space | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
but he's not quick enough. They are too slow to react. They don't get | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
out into Scott Brown's face and make it difficult for him. He has still | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
got two yards before anyone is on him to get a left foot shot off him. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
That is just not good enough. Bike back row the home dressing room door | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
is still bolted shut. We will hopefully get a word before the end | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
of the programme with Gary Locke. You've been a manager of a team | :18:26. | :18:39. | |
dismantled, destroyed by Celtic. You will have some sympathy for him. A | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
huge amount. I hope he is in there not slaughtering these young lads, | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
I'm sure he's not, I'm sure he's trying to convince them, as Michael | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
rightly said, the gulf between this Champions League team and this young | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
Hearts team is huge, and this result was possible. At no point did that | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
Hearts team today throwing the towel. They weren't beaten 7-0 | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
because they didn't try. They get a grips with Celtic's shape. I think | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
he has to go in there and explain that to them, to give them a | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
justification. Why they can go out next week and expect to win. They | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
are not playing Celtic will stop Dundee United are in great form but | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
they are not the Celtic team they played today. They kept running in | :19:19. | :19:26. | |
the game, they need to take that to the next game. Let's hear from Gary | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Locke. An afternoon to forget or want to | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
learn a hard lesson from? A bit of both. We need to try and get it out | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
of our system as quickly as possible, though we've got a lot to | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
learn from it. We lost a two goal at the start of the game. We are young | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
side but we were completely outclassed today. Was it basically | :19:52. | :19:59. | |
down to naivete? I don't think so. If you have world-class players and | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
you give them a lot of time on the ball they will hurt you. We did not | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
get close to them at all. I know they passed the ball well and moved | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
quickly from side to side and in and around the box, but we've got to do | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
better. As much as trying to get closer to people. The writing was on | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
the wall early on. As a coach, did you have your head in your hands? | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
I've said all along, one of my worries this season was having such | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
a young side, we knew we were going to be on the end of a result like | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
that. One of the things is we've got to learn from it, pick ourselves up. | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
We are out of the cup, but we will try and stay in the league. It was a | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
harsh lesson for us today. Celtic were outstanding. There's a lot of | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
lessons to be learned. Only time will tell, but what do you think | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
this will do psychologically to that young side? It's not great for us. | :20:58. | :21:05. | |
One thing we can't do, we can't feel sorry for ourselves. It's important | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
that we learn from that. You have seen the way that Celtic passed the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
ball, the way they worked off the ball. They were playing with a lot | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
of confidence and have world-class players. But it's important that we | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
learn that harsh lesson today and respond in the might -- right man at | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
Tannadice next week. And I supposed evidence of how big a rebuild is | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
needed at this club when it finally gets on its feet. I'm not going to | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
stand here and make excuses. I can only apologise to the supporters for | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
that because they didn't deserve it. But we are where we are. We are a | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
young side, 14 outfield players, the average age of the team is 19. Even | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
with a really experienced side, they would have been up against it today | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
because Celtic played that well. There's nothing we can do about | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
that, but we can't feel sorry for ourselves. I've told the players | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
that. We come in tomorrow morning dust ourselves down and make sure | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
that we respond in the right manner next week. He doesn't hide away from | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
the grim reality. He faces the music. Is there a fear about damage | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
done to these young Hearts players? The time to evaluate that is at the | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
end of the season. There is a very real risk that there can be. I was | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
talking about, remember Gordon Strachan talking about when he was a | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
youngster at Dundee and had thought of himself as a top player. He came | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
against a really good Hibs team and got a doing. He said it took him two | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
years to get over it. Sometimes you can be affected as a youngster, you | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
are formed by your experiences. The risk is some of these youngsters, | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
who are undoubtedly good players, are going to have a lasting effect | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
from not just games like this, but throughout the season when they are | :23:03. | :23:33. | |
going to come up against it. That's the real risk that Hearts find | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
themselves with. There's nothing they can do about it, there's no | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
alternative. Gary Locke has got a really difficult task in terms of | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
trying to balance out not being too hard on them and trying to keep | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
their heads up, and make sure their futures are continuing to be bright. | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
The confidence of youth may be the best thing to have in these | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
circumstances. That ability to bounce back. That's an asset that | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
young player s bring. One of the things lacking in couple of | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
experienced players. If you had one or is a couple of experienced | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
players. If you had one or two that could pull it all togetherand it was | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
going wrong, pulling it on the pitch, they don't have that, they | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
are all out there as inexperienced players, they don't really know how | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
to change it out there. They really need a little bit of experience | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
brought in to help them. But they have any -- and they could go on to | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
have a decent season. 7-0 Celtic in that match. Let's have a look at | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
some of the key moments from other ties played across the weekend. What | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
a night they will have had last night. Albion Rovers from League | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
Two, knocking out Motherwell. Motherwell were one of the teams who | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
fancy themselves to possibly go all of the way. You would have thought | :24:31. | :24:39. | |
so. Gary Phillips with the goal. He is a personal trainer who works at | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
new Douglas Park. He knows the surroundings. Fantastic finish. | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
These are the moments that make the club so special. Not particularly | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
special for Stuart McCall, who understandably was saying after the | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
game he didn't want to go home, he was feeling embarrassed. But there | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
is the flip side, you see those guys will stop that is what makes it so | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
special and so enjoyable for everybody to watch. Manager James | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
Ward will need that smile surgically removed from his face! It's just a | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
shame that because of safety reasons that couldn't be played at | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
Cliftonhill. I think it will be surgically removed from his face if | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
tomorrow they draw Celtic, after today. They will be watching the | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
draw with interest. Even if it is a draw like that, Celtic at Parkhead | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
would be a fantastic draw for the likes of them. Queen of the S. | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
Knocked St Mirren out of the league cup. They've got a replay in the | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
Scottish Cup to come. It's going to be at Paisley. This was on the | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
artificial surface at Palmerston. Twice behind, Jim McIntyre's team, | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
twice they came back. The one thing we were talking about as well that | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
is quite intriguing to see, the number of games in the cup that are | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
on the artificial surfaces. This is another one here. Queen of the | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
South, they will be going to St Mirren park full of confidence. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
Disappointed to see a former colleague of mine, a really good | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
goalkeeper, disappointing to see him at fault there. That's a rare | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
mistake, he's been really good for St Mirren. This is a really good | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
goal from St Mirren. Nicely worked down the left. A good finish. A | :26:31. | :26:41. | |
horrendous moustache. How much is familiarity with an artificial like | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
that a factor in a result like this? Is a factor because they will train | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
on it more often. St Mirren and the other teams have come up against | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
this occasionally. Of course you need preparation for a game on a | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
surface like that, you have a couple of training sessions on it. But, | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
generally speaking, a lot of these teams will be playing on it all of | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
the time. It gives them an understanding of it will stop it | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
gives them confidence that teams who play on grass don't necessarily | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
have. Hibs threw at the first time of asking. They won in Dingwall | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
against Ross County. It was Terry Butcher's first win as Hibs manager. | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
Composed finish. A notable difference for Hibs is there is Liam | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
Craig, right on top of the ball in the box. Hibs have been accused of | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
not having enough do about them. That's something that wouldn't have | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
happened under Pat Fenlon. Winning the ball high up and sliding a good | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
ball through to Hanlon, who finished it well. This is the first yellow | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
card for Paul Kenny, for alleged time wasting. I think it was time | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
wasting. They were winning at the time. He clearly thought that... You | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
don't know how often in the game previously he's been guilty of it or | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
if he's been warned. I thought the referee was entitled to book him | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
there. It became significant because he was yellow carded again here with | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
this one. This is a great run. Really positive run, which is | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
another thing Hibs have been missing. I think it is harsh. Mark | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
Brown get enough of the ball that it's not a penalty, but that is one | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
of those instances where you can have an incident that is not a | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
penalty, the guy has gone down and it's not a yellow card. Mark Brown, | :28:34. | :28:37. | |
the ball deviates enough. But there has definitely been contact there. | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
What is not recommended is falling out with Terry Butcher. He came on | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
as a soap, then he was taken off. There was the reaction. The wagging | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
finger looked pretty serious from Terry Butcher. A difficult decision | :28:53. | :28:58. | |
for a manager. I once did it at Motherwell with Steve McGarry. We | :28:59. | :29:06. | |
had to make a change. It became light-hearted and I'm sure they will | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
deal with that. The boy will understand why the substitution was | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
made. Reflections on what has happened here today. A stunning show | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
from Celtic. It was. Gary Locke mentioned that even an experienced | :29:20. | :29:22. | |
Hearts team would have been up against it today because Celtic were | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
on top form. Neil Lennon said it was probably best that -- best he has | :29:27. | :29:34. | |
had under his stewardship. I don't think it would have been a 7-0 | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
school with an experienced team, but it could have been an easy win for | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
Celtic. Not surprised at all. I thought Celtic in the first half, I | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
was so pleased to be here. It was a brilliant performance, to see it up | :29:52. | :29:58. | |
close was fantastic. We will be rounding up all of the Sunday | :29:59. | :30:00. | |
Scottish Cup action for you tonight. We will be rounding up what happened | :30:01. | :30:13. | |
on Friday night and all of the Saturday matches as well. All in one | :30:14. | :30:19. | |
neat package. Hearts and Celtic are at opposite ends of the Scottish | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
Premiership, but the Scottish Cup holders were in a different league | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
today as they cruised through to the last 16. | :30:27. | :30:29. |
