00:00:30Welcome to the Football Show on PLZ Soccer's YouTube channel.

00:00:34I'm Peter Martin, Alan Ruff, Tammy McManus are here with me in the studio.

00:00:38Thank you to you for showing your support over the course of last season and into this new season.

00:00:50There's lots to talk about. There's the results from the Premier Sports Cup over the weekend.

00:00:54This is how it all panned out.

00:00:56Did your favourite team go through at the end of it?

00:01:00There were lots of games looking forward to over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

00:01:04Celtic comfortably easing past Falkirk.

00:01:07Rangers eventually 4-2 over Allowa.

00:01:10Greenock, Morton 0-1, Aberdeen 3.

00:01:12Partick Thistle 2, United 0-1.

00:01:14St Johnston 0-1.

00:01:16St Mirren 1, Hearts 1.

00:01:17It was Saints who go through in the penalty shootout.

00:01:19Livingston 0-0, Hibs 2 and Killy 2, Dundee United 1.

00:01:24A couple of those games went to extra time.

00:01:26Ruffie, I don't know about you, but I would do away with extra time.

00:01:29I think we should go straight to penalties.

00:01:31Yeah, I don't see why the home team should get an extra 30 minutes at home.

00:01:35You know, I think it would be right to go straight to penalties.

00:01:38I think it would be more even that way.

00:01:41But again, you know, the guys that took the penalty kicks I saw at the weekend were absolutely superb.

00:01:47Yeah, how do you feel about that?

00:01:48I mean, I did ask Derek McInnes, he says, oh no, no, extra time.

00:01:51A couple of the players said traditionalists, but I don't see the point, Tam.

00:01:54I mean, apart from anything else, I mean, and it's not because the journalists think,

00:01:58come on, come on, we want to go out on Saturday night.

00:02:01I mean, in mid-week up at Tarraday, I think I got home at 1 o'clock in the morning.

00:02:06But I don't see the point of it.

00:02:07Yeah, I don't know if I agree, Peter.

00:02:11You can't beat somebody in 90 minutes, Tam.

00:02:12Just go on a penalty shootout.

00:02:13Well, listen, I think everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I quite like it.

00:02:18Extra time.

00:02:19Yeah?

00:02:19I like extra time, Peter.

00:02:20I think.

00:02:21Why?

00:02:21I just think it's an extra half an hour football for people to watch, fans.

00:02:25That's the only reason.

00:02:26What about a player's perspective?

00:02:28Well, from a player's perspective, you're going to retire.

00:02:32But I would keep it as it is, Peter.

00:02:35I agree with Ruffey.

00:02:35I thought the penalty shootout of Hearts against St Myrne, there's only one.

00:02:39I think the first St Myrne penalty, the goal they should have saved.

00:02:41But by that, St Myrne's penalties were outstanding.

00:02:43So I think there's a skill and an art to that.

00:02:45But I have no problem with extra time and an extra bonus half an hour football for supporters.

00:02:49I think it gives the big teams more an advantage with a bigger pool.

00:02:54You know, an extra 30 minutes you throw on your players off the bench, where the other

00:02:58teams that haven't got that strongest pool are going to struggle even more.

00:03:02Yeah.

00:03:02Okay.

00:03:02Give us your thoughts.

00:03:03Would you do away with extra time and go straight to penalties?

00:03:06Or do you like that extra half hour, 15 minutes each way to see if you can get some kind of

00:03:13resolution from it?

00:03:14We'd love to know.

00:03:15Managers and players are always bleating on about there's too many games, there's too

00:03:19much asked of players.

00:03:21Does that apply when you're talking about Scotland and the likes of the Premier Sports

00:03:24Cup?

00:03:25We'd love to hear from you on it.

00:03:26Before we get into the meat and bones of each game and give us your thoughts on it, we'd

00:03:31love to hear from you.

00:04:12Two guys are here with me, Celtic Ease Through Comfortably in the end.

00:04:174-1 with Maida, Johnson, Dane Murray and sadly for Liam Henderson and OG.

00:04:23Keelan Adams hit a good one for Falkirk.

00:04:26Overall, Brendan Rodgers happy to get that one comfortably out of the way on the Friday

00:04:31and maybe focus all his thoughts now on Kyrat Almaty, Ruffey.

00:04:35Yeah, you can see by the team selection.

00:04:37I think there was only four first-team regulars in the start of the 11.

00:04:41Most of the fringe players got a game and as you said, they controlled the game very well.

00:04:46You know, it was a good goal for the Falkirk boy but I think on the whole, it just shows

00:04:50you the strength and depth that they've got and it'll keep a lot of the fresh ones for

00:04:55the midweek.

00:04:56Yeah, quite a scathing group of people who watched the live part of our programme.

00:05:00For those who listen to podcasts, they're quite relaxed.

00:05:03They're maybe walking the dog.

00:05:04They're maybe just having a wee saunter about in the house, Tam, with some earphones on.

00:05:08And for those who watch it on YouTube at a later time, they could scream at some of

00:05:14the points that are made on our live section.

00:05:17Paul Brady's quite scathing.

00:05:18He says, Tam, you'd have been subbed before extra time.

00:05:21You're dreaming.

00:05:23I'm doing it, Ruff.

00:05:25I've never actually thought about that.

00:05:28Also, Robert says he would prefer extra time.

00:05:32It just depends on what you like, what you're used to.

00:05:36Maybe the younger generation would like to get to the excitement of penalties right away.

00:05:40Give us your thoughts on that.

00:05:42One rumour that hasn't gone away, I know it's on the back page of the Sun newspaper.

00:05:47He's got 24 hours before the kick-off, which is tomorrow, up until tomorrow, Brendan Rodgers

00:05:54can bring in two players.

00:05:56So, the rumour is Jamie Vardy.

00:05:59What do you make of that chat, Ruffie?

00:06:01Well, I think down through the years, he's been fantastic, particularly Leicester.

00:06:05I think he was a top goalscorer for a few years.

00:06:08Obviously, he's got a lot of experience.

00:06:10You would like to think that coming up here in our domestic league, he wouldn't be playing

00:06:16against the same calibre of player as what he's been playing against down in England.

00:06:19So, we saw some of the guys that have come up to Celtic who have done particularly well.

00:06:23Bellamy, he had a good time when he came up, scoring goals for fun.

00:06:28Yeah?

00:06:29Robbie Keane, do you know what I think?

00:06:30Both of them lost the title.

00:06:31Yeah.

00:06:32Oh, well.

00:06:33Yeah.

00:06:34I just want to know how you two judge success.

00:06:39No, I'm just saying I think he's got enough quality in his game.

00:06:42He's still fit enough.

00:06:43He's still banging in the goals.

00:06:45So, it'll be interesting to see, you know, obviously the connections with Brendan Nodgers.

00:06:50That is the big thing.

00:06:52But I wouldn't imagine him signing him tomorrow and throwing him into that game.

00:06:57No.

00:06:59He says he's fit.

00:07:00Yeah, I think he'd be great signing Peter.

00:07:02I think he's still got a lot to offer.

00:07:03I think you've seen him in a team that struggled last season in Leicester.

00:07:07You know, he's still got his share of goals.

00:07:08He's still looked sharp.

00:07:09He's still looked fit.

00:07:10You know, he doesn't look as if he's lost any pace.

00:07:12And I think he's got the character and the personality play for Celtic.

00:07:16I think they would lap it up, the pressure of old firm games and Champions League games,

00:07:20hopefully from a Celtic point of view.

00:07:21So, yeah, there's a few that have come up and haven't done too well.

00:07:25But I look at him, I think he's still got the hunger and determination to come up and do really well for Celtic.

00:07:29I think he'd be a great signing.

00:07:30Yeah.

00:07:32Maestro says Ian Wright and Freddie Lundberg.

00:07:34Yeah.

00:07:34Well done.

00:07:35Dion Dublin.

00:07:36What?

00:07:37Dion Dublin.

00:07:38Was Dion Dublin a failure?

00:07:40I don't remember him.

00:07:40I think he scored in the League Cup final.

00:07:42Ian Wright.

00:07:44Ian Wright.

00:07:45You know, players that come up.

00:07:47Big names.

00:07:48No, I don't think they produced what we thought they were going to produce.

00:07:51No.

00:07:51We've got a bargain with Dion Dublin, but...

00:07:53Yeah, absolutely.

00:07:54Well, I mean, the kitchen.

00:07:55I mean, this will need a new kitchen.

00:07:56And the hallway's a disgrace.

00:07:59So, I love that when he's standing in what can only be described as something like...

00:08:04A hole.

00:08:05Yeah, and it's just an absolute nightmare.

00:08:07And he goes, they might need to do that toilet up.

00:08:09Really?

00:08:10I love it when they go back and they say, how much did you spend?

00:08:13Two grand.

00:08:14Yeah.

00:08:14And the place is like Palace.

00:08:17You know, Rafi, I actually wonder about that.

00:08:19I always say to myself, how the heck can they get it for that in four days?

00:08:23But nevertheless, Celtic comfortably through.

00:08:26Will they get a signing in?

00:08:27Do they need a signing?

00:08:29It's one of those things where, again, Brendan's being clever when he's asked the question.

00:08:34But do they need signings to get past Kair at Almaty?

00:08:37That's the big question.

00:08:39And is it a massive gamble here, Tam, that could end up with, you know, a real bit of what I would call aggro if they were not to qualify?

00:08:49I think it is a big gamble, Peter.

00:08:51I think that the Celtic board and the Celtic directors are looking at the tie and going, you know, we've got enough as it is to beat them and get into the Champions League.

00:09:00But if it, you know, if it don't go through, there's going to be, the Celtic fans are going to be raging.

00:09:04There's going to be a big outpouring of anger towards the board and the guys that run the club.

00:09:09So I think Celtic will go through.

00:09:11I think they've got more than enough to beat Kair at Almaty.

00:09:13But they are taking a bit of a punt.

00:09:16They are taking a bit of a punt that they'll go through.

00:09:18And I think they would need to take maybe a two or three goal lead over there.

00:09:21Because it's a long trip and Celtic have not traditionally done well over there.

00:09:25So I think that they need to go and win two or three nothing at home and then they can kind of cruise through.

00:09:29Yeah.

00:09:29What's the longest trip you've ever made as a professional footballer, Ruffy?

00:09:34Brazil.

00:09:35Yeah.

00:09:35Rio de Janeiro.

00:09:36Yeah.

00:09:37It was horrendous.

00:09:38In what respect?

00:09:39It was horrendous coming back, you know, because we were first class going up in the big bubble of the Qantas.

00:09:46Coming back, we were all the back.

00:09:49All the back.

00:09:50So really a kind of a political statement there from you.

00:09:55You're social class.

00:09:56Is that fair, Tam?

00:09:57You know, I want to be first class because I'm somebody from Knightswood that deserves it.

00:10:03And then going back the way, I'm not happy because I'm not getting home.

00:10:07I had a good one when my wife Maggie was doing the travel piece for the paper and we got invited to Cuba, which is a fair old shout.

00:10:17But that was business class going.

00:10:20And after our trip on the way back, we were coming onto the plane and the stewardess said, Mr. Ruff?

00:10:26And I said, yes, because Maggie wrote the piece with my name.

00:10:30Yes.

00:10:31Okay.

00:10:31So the stewardess said, Mr. Ruff, I see you're doing a piece on our aeroplane for your paper.

00:10:35And I went, yes, I am.

00:10:37I'd like to upgrade you to the first class.

00:10:40I said, well, thanks very much.

00:10:41I said, what about my wife?

00:10:42She went, no, she's not getting there.

00:10:44Maggie had to sit upstairs in the business class and then the stewardess come back and she said, Mr. Ruff, you're allowed guests for an hour, if you'd like, because you have a whole bar, you have a whole bar run about you.

00:10:59So I said, could you ask the lady in seat Jai 3 to come down if she's like.

00:11:04Is that Maggie?

00:11:04Maggie.

00:11:09No way you get Maggie to.

00:11:12Hi, Jenny.

00:11:14After an hour, after an hour and she drank all my brandy.

00:11:19Stewardess says, I'm sorry, madam, but you have to go back to your seat.

00:11:21Yeah, because there's no drink left.

00:11:25Brilliant, Ruffie.

00:11:26Anyway, I think comfortable enough.

00:11:30Is it a roll of the dice?

00:11:31Yep.

00:11:31If they get it in the neck, if they don't make it.

00:11:33That's what I'm saying.

00:11:33The point you're making, then, who gets it in the neck more than the other?

00:11:36Ah, the board.

00:11:38Absolutely.

00:11:39What about all the people who Brendan says don't like them?

00:11:42I'm sure they'll direct a lot of that.

00:11:44No, no, no, that.

00:11:46Well, I said last week, Ruffie, just discard that.

00:11:49Brendan doesn't need to care who likes and doesn't like him.

00:11:51You know, really, when you're a grown man and some people don't like you or don't like you,

00:11:55then you don't think about it.

00:11:56You're paid well.

00:11:58You've got to go and do a job.

00:11:59Yes, you want two or three quality players.

00:12:02I think he will get them.

00:12:04But unfortunately for the Celtic fans, they just have to suck it up nowadays and say,

00:12:09listen, you can moan all you want.

00:12:11You're getting them late.

00:12:12And here are the reasons why.

00:12:15And if they get into the group stages, then you have to applaud the board and say,

00:12:19well, you rolled the dice.

00:12:21Now you've got 100 million in the bank.

00:12:23You've got another 60 million coming.

00:12:25So, Brendan, here's your three quality players.

00:12:28On you go.

00:12:30Yes, I agree with you, Peter.

00:12:31I think they will bring three in.

00:12:32I think they'll bring two wingers and a striker in.

00:12:36Whether that's Vardy and another two wingers, I don't know.

00:12:37But they're linked to a lot of clubs.

00:12:38And Celtic have always been a club that wants value for money.

00:12:42Peter Lawwell, Michael Nicholson, the board, they want value for money.

00:12:45And they're prepared to play clubs poker, you know, in terms of the fees.

00:12:50And towards the end of the window, they'll maybe up it a little bit.

00:12:52But I think there's a lot of that going on just now.

00:12:55You know, they're waiting to see who's available, what sort of fees they're looking for.

00:12:59But I think that Celtic will eventually bring players in.

00:13:02But I don't see it before, obviously, this tie.

00:13:06Yeah, I'd be surprised if they brought even one player in before this tie.

00:13:12The other thing which was nice to see was the boy Dane Murray,

00:13:15who's had a tough time getting himself a goal

00:13:17and had a chance to maybe resurrect his career

00:13:20and maybe put himself at the forefront of the manager's thoughts.

00:13:24Yeah, I think he's very highly rated by Brendan Rodgers.

00:13:26I think he's given him opportunities.

00:13:28He played them down at Aston Villa on the Champions League last.

00:13:31He don't know if they did a great game.

00:13:31I think he might have come on and conceded a sloppy goal.

00:13:36But I think Brendan Rodgers really rates him.

00:13:38He speaks highly of him.

00:13:39I think he's trying to bleed them into games like that.

00:13:42It was a perfect opportunity.

00:13:43You know, playing Falkirk at home.

00:13:44You know, they're going to have a lot of the ball.

00:13:46So, listen, there's a lot of centre-halves.

00:13:49There is a lot of centre-halves at Celtic at the minute.

00:13:51You still need a left-back as cover.

00:13:53Yeah, I think they need a left-back as cover for Cairn Tierney,

00:13:56who was outstanding there.

00:13:58You can see him getting fit and stronger every game.

00:13:59Peter, I just think he needs minutes on the pitch.

00:14:01And you'll see the real Cairn Tierney back.

00:14:04But, yeah, Celtic win the game comfortably.

00:14:07Falkirk came and opened up and tried to make it a game,

00:14:10which is great.

00:14:11You know, made it an entertaining spectacle.

00:14:12But Celtic looks sharper in the night, particularly first half.

00:14:15And they're running out of comfy winners.

00:14:17Here's a good question for you,

00:14:18which has just come out of my head there.

00:14:20And some people might think it's a rotten question,

00:14:21but I'll try my luck.

00:14:23If you were only allowed to sign one left-back

00:14:26from all the other Scottish teams for Celtic

00:14:29because they're looking for cover,

00:14:31who would you sign out of all the other clubs?

00:14:33Is there somebody in your mind, Ruffey,

00:14:38that you would think would be...

00:14:41For Celtic?

00:14:41Yeah.

00:14:41Probably Nicky Carden.

00:14:43Yeah.

00:14:43That's what I was thinking for a forward,

00:14:46you know, curling.

00:14:47Injury's a problem,

00:14:48but he's certainly the best crosser of the ball.

00:14:51Yep.

00:14:52Anybody that you can think of, Ruffey?

00:14:54No, Carden, obviously.

00:14:55I like the boy that St Myrne brought back in,

00:14:59Bacchus.

00:15:00I like him.

00:15:01Yeah, he's not a left-back,

00:15:02he's a midfielder.

00:15:03Yeah, no, but if he's got a left foot,

00:15:05Julie can put him there.

00:15:07Yeah, but he's right-footed.

00:15:08Rangers try to do that with Bailey Rice

00:15:09and have any work out to him.

00:15:10Yeah, absolutely.

00:15:11So, Ruffey can't think of anybody

00:15:12for that left-back.

00:15:14You mentioned Harry Mullen,

00:15:15who you raves about.

00:15:16Yes.

00:15:16Yeah, what about Harry?

00:15:17Yeah, he should have went there

00:15:19before he went to Harps.

00:15:20Yeah.

00:15:20I saw a lot of promise in him at Thistle.

00:15:22I couldn't believe the money

00:15:24that they let him go for.

00:15:25I thought it was a snip.

00:15:27So, Harry Mullen.

00:15:28Oh, definitely.

00:15:29Yeah.

00:15:29As a backup, off.

00:15:30Yeah.

00:15:31I think what we've got to do nowadays,

00:15:33as life goes on, Tam,

00:15:34is we've got to put the thought in his head

00:15:36and then he'll agree with us.

00:15:37Aye, aye.

00:15:37Is that fair?

00:15:37Yeah.

00:15:38He doesn't come up with anything yourself now.

00:15:39Yeah, he's right.

00:15:40His brain's turning much...

00:15:41He actually didn't give me much time.

00:15:43Yeah.

00:15:43Well, I'll be fair to you.

00:15:44Tons of time.

00:15:45I'll be fair to you, Ruffey.

00:15:46I did actually just...

00:15:46We'll come up with something else then.

00:15:47Yeah.

00:15:48We'll come up with an obvious one.

00:15:50I'll beat her.

00:15:51It happens.

00:15:51Yeah, exactly.

00:15:53I thought you might say that.

00:15:54Anyway, it's worth a shout.

00:15:56Can you think of somebody in Scotland

00:15:57who'd be worth a punt?

00:16:00Give us your thoughts on that.

00:16:01Celtic 4, Falkirk 1

00:16:03and it's Cairat Almaty up on the Wednesday.

00:16:06Give us your thoughts.

00:16:07What do you think?

00:16:08Will Celtic get a player in?

00:16:09Will Celtic have enough to get through that?

00:16:12And who gets it in the neck if they don't?

00:16:15Give us your thoughts.

00:16:16We think they'll get through.

00:16:18Now we move on.

00:16:19Rangers 4-2.

00:16:20It was a wee bit of a harem scarem moment

00:16:22when there was an equaliser, Ruffey,

00:16:24but in the end,

00:16:25and I don't know if you're noticing in the background,

00:16:28Russell Martin, with the help of the board,

00:16:30are effectively shunting out

00:16:32some of the people who are just not up to it.

00:16:34Jephty will be the latest one to say goodbye to them.

00:16:37Yilmaz, another shortly.

00:16:40They've managed to get in, I think,

00:16:43on a loan from Brentford.

00:16:44Rangers have managed to bring in a player,

00:16:47and I will just give you his name now,

00:16:48which is completely not Jadon,

00:16:50something or other,

00:16:52that's just come into my head, Tam,

00:16:54which is doing my nut.

00:16:55And yeah, there it's there.

00:16:56I've written it down.

00:16:57Jadon Magoma,

00:16:58on loan from Brentford,

00:16:59on a left-back role.

00:17:02So clearly,

00:17:03you know, they're starting to.

00:17:05You only have to look and see

00:17:06the type of player that they're getting rid of,

00:17:09that every one of us has been analysing

00:17:11and criticising,

00:17:12and fairly so over a period of time.

00:17:14I mean, Russell Martin,

00:17:14slowly but surely,

00:17:16is getting rid of the people

00:17:17that have caused the club

00:17:18so much pain over the last two or three years.

00:17:20Yeah, I think you can see him.

00:17:22He's trying to bring his own team in,

00:17:23his own players,

00:17:25and I think that ultimately

00:17:26he's going to be judged on

00:17:27when it is his own team.

00:17:29What rumours about Nico Raskin,

00:17:30who was excellent for Rangers last season?

00:17:32You know,

00:17:32he's been out of the team.

00:17:35You know,

00:17:35I wonder if Rangers

00:17:35will be looking for a big fee for him.

00:17:36So,

00:17:37yeah,

00:17:38I think he's got to be allowed time

00:17:39to bring his own players in.

00:17:40He's doing that.

00:17:42But they've got to put in better performances

00:17:43than they've done at the weekend,

00:17:44Peter.

00:17:44I thought, again,

00:17:45I thought they were poor against Alloa.

00:17:47And

00:17:4710 minutes to go,

00:17:493-2,

00:17:50they get the goal

00:17:50to make it 4-2

00:17:51to clinch it.

00:17:52but

00:17:52a real

00:17:53against slow performance,

00:17:55Peter,

00:17:56you know,

00:17:56in that final third,

00:17:57trying to walk the ball in at times,

00:17:58not doing any

00:17:59real tempo on the team.

00:18:00I think that's the two elements

00:18:02of the team

00:18:03that are

00:18:04the real problem for them.

00:18:06The one is the glaringly obvious one

00:18:08is the back line.

00:18:09The back line is not up to it.

00:18:11I mean,

00:18:11that back four,

00:18:12and I include all of them

00:18:14in that back four

00:18:15until they start to shut up shop.

00:18:17But that whole back four

00:18:19is not right.

00:18:20So there's your first element

00:18:21that needs to be sorted out.

00:18:23And the second one,

00:18:24Tom's just touched on,

00:18:25I think they're too slow enough.

00:18:27You know,

00:18:27they want the ball

00:18:28to take a touch

00:18:29to control it.

00:18:29There's very rarely

00:18:31you see them,

00:18:31you know,

00:18:32quick one pass move.

00:18:33It's, you know,

00:18:34put the team...

00:18:34One pace.

00:18:35Yeah, it really is at times.

00:18:36But Russell Martin came in

00:18:37and said it's going to be

00:18:38his style of play.

00:18:39That's the way he's going to do it.

00:18:40Now, I don't know if that's

00:18:41his style of play.

00:18:43Well, he's certainly not

00:18:44buying the players

00:18:44that ain't suit his style

00:18:45if they're not implementing

00:18:46what he's teaching them to do.

00:18:48I think the biggest problem

00:18:49for Rangers is,

00:18:50OK,

00:18:50Rangers were the same

00:18:51as Celtic the weekend.

00:18:53They had only four

00:18:53first-team players

00:18:54on the team.

00:18:55But the people who come in

00:18:57didn't affect the game at all.

00:18:59I mean,

00:18:59I'm sure at the end

00:19:00of the game

00:19:01he would be sitting there

00:19:02going,

00:19:03well,

00:19:03did any of them impress me

00:19:04that come on?

00:19:05And I thought the answer

00:19:06would be no.

00:19:07You know,

00:19:07so the problem he's got

00:19:08is he might have

00:19:09eventually got a right

00:19:10good 11 on the park,

00:19:12but what is coming on

00:19:14don't have the same effect

00:19:16as what the Celtic

00:19:17players that come on do.

00:19:19Well,

00:19:19I would,

00:19:20slightly disagree with you

00:19:21on the basis

00:19:22that this is a work

00:19:23in progress

00:19:24at Rangers.

00:19:26Brendan's is a tweak

00:19:27to try and increase

00:19:28the quality.

00:19:28There's a difference

00:19:29here in the game

00:19:30of the manager

00:19:32Russell Martin

00:19:32in the game

00:19:33that Brendan Rodgers

00:19:34is building a side

00:19:36and saying,

00:19:36I want three quality players

00:19:37because,

00:19:37you know,

00:19:38Celtic are going to be

00:19:39playing Champions League

00:19:40football at group stages,

00:19:41so he knows

00:19:42that jumping level,

00:19:44so he wants

00:19:44that level of player.

00:19:46Russell Martin

00:19:47wants a team

00:19:48that can beat

00:19:48all the other clubs

00:19:50other than Celtic

00:19:51to prove that

00:19:51they're in a title race

00:19:53which they haven't

00:19:54been able to do

00:19:55at the moment,

00:19:55Tam,

00:19:56and secondary to that,

00:19:57you look,

00:19:57Bayrami scored a great

00:19:58goal at the weekend,

00:19:59an absolute peach.

00:20:01You've got the boy

00:20:01Mikey Moore

00:20:02who's desperately hoping

00:20:03for 17 years of age

00:20:04he's got a point

00:20:05to prove up here,

00:20:06can really start

00:20:08to put himself

00:20:08at the forefront

00:20:09of Spurs' mind

00:20:11when he's on loan here

00:20:13and Finlay Curtis,

00:20:15Emmanuel Fernandes

00:20:16gets his first goal,

00:20:17so I think Russell Martin,

00:20:19while there is

00:20:19this kind of

00:20:20a background noise

00:20:21of unrest,

00:20:24there is

00:20:24positivities

00:20:25that the manager

00:20:25are looking,

00:20:26okay,

00:20:26you're okay,

00:20:28you're for the future,

00:20:29this is good,

00:20:30we've got past them,

00:20:31we now know

00:20:32what's coming

00:20:32in the next round,

00:20:33you know what I mean,

00:20:34it's Hibs

00:20:35in the next round,

00:20:36so he's slowly

00:20:38but surely

00:20:38on the run

00:20:40and trying to

00:20:41block out the noise,

00:20:42he's slowly

00:20:42but surely

00:20:42seeing some positives.

00:20:44Yeah he is,

00:20:45but I'm not sure

00:20:46the range of supporters

00:20:47are Peter,

00:20:47that's the problem,

00:20:48you know,

00:20:48Russell Martin...

00:20:49Well it's 4-2,

00:20:50they're through,

00:20:50what's the problem?

00:20:51They are through,

00:20:51but it wasn't a good

00:20:52performance,

00:20:53Peter again,

00:20:53they've lost two goals

00:20:54at home to Alava,

00:20:55no disrespect to them,

00:20:56you know,

00:20:57they're losing goals,

00:20:57they're losing chances,

00:20:58they're ropey at the back,

00:21:00I think they're very,

00:21:02very slow in their build-up

00:21:04to go and open up teams

00:21:05as well,

00:21:05so I haven't been

00:21:07really impressed with them

00:21:07and listen,

00:21:08the acid test is coming

00:21:09tomorrow night,

00:21:10this will be the best

00:21:11club they've played

00:21:12against so far,

00:21:13Club Brouge,

00:21:13they've got a two-legged

00:21:14game against Aime,

00:21:15they've got a game

00:21:15away at St Myrne,

00:21:17you know,

00:21:17they've got a cup tie

00:21:18at home to Hibs,

00:21:19they've got Celtic

00:21:20at home on the horizon,

00:21:20they've got Hartzell home,

00:21:21they've got a real

00:21:22tough run of games

00:21:23and that's all before

00:21:24the window closes,

00:21:25so I think the Rangers

00:21:27are obviously one,

00:21:28the most important thing

00:21:29is getting through

00:21:29but I think the Rangers

00:21:30supporters will be

00:21:30looking at the team

00:21:31and going,

00:21:31we need to be better

00:21:33than we're shown.

00:21:34Well I think you're right,

00:21:35this is a huge test

00:21:36and Alison McConnell

00:21:37was out there today

00:21:38to get the thoughts

00:21:39of Russell Martin

00:21:41at Ibrox ahead of the

00:21:42game against Club Brouge.

00:21:44Russell Martin was in

00:21:45relaxed mood as he

00:21:47faced the media here

00:21:48this afternoon prior

00:21:49to tomorrow night's

00:21:50massive Champions League

00:21:51play-off tie against

00:21:53Club Brouge at Ibrox.

00:21:54He's told his players

00:21:56they need to embrace

00:21:56the pressure,

00:21:57find the joy of

00:21:58playing for Rangers

00:21:59and enjoy the challenge

00:22:01that comes with

00:22:01pleasing a very

00:22:02demanding crowd.

00:22:03They've felt those

00:22:04demands across

00:22:05recent games,

00:22:06dropped points to

00:22:07Motherwell,

00:22:08dropped points to

00:22:08Dundee and a fairly

00:22:10chaotic defensive

00:22:11performance against

00:22:12Aloha in the Premier

00:22:13Sports Cup at the

00:22:14weekend so it's not

00:22:15been entirely convincing

00:22:16however Martin has

00:22:18insisted that he needs

00:22:19time to get it right

00:22:20here at Ibrox.

00:22:21Whether or not he

00:22:22gets that time

00:22:23remains to be seen

00:22:24but certainly a big

00:22:25part of buying that

00:22:26would come with

00:22:27qualification to the

00:22:28Champions League

00:22:29and the riches that

00:22:30that would bring.

00:22:31Cyril Dessers is

00:22:32touch and go for that

00:22:33one whether or not he

00:22:34makes an appearance

00:22:35tomorrow at night at

00:22:36some point remains to

00:22:37be seen however what

00:22:39he did say was that

00:22:40Nico Raskin will most

00:22:41certainly be in the

00:22:42squad for this clash

00:22:43against Bruges.

00:22:45Yeah no he's been

00:22:45really good so we

00:22:47analysed his clips

00:22:47me and him together

00:22:48from Tuesday so yeah

00:22:51no I've not heard

00:22:52anything up not at all

00:22:53so he's been he's

00:22:54been brilliant and I'm

00:22:55pretty sure Kevin and

00:22:56Patrick and the gang

00:22:57would have told me if

00:22:58we'd had heard that

00:22:59sooner.

00:23:00I think he's got better

00:23:01and better I think he'll

00:23:02get better and better

00:23:03he was only not in the

00:23:04squad on Saturday for a

00:23:06rest he picked up a kick

00:23:07on on Tuesday but he's

00:23:08trained really well and I

00:23:11think yeah I think we he's

00:23:13going to be a big player

00:23:14for us I said that from

00:23:14the beginning but I also

00:23:16said obviously it's been a

00:23:17difficult summer for him

00:23:18and all that but I've

00:23:18really the last few weeks

00:23:20I've loved the energy that

00:23:21Nico's brought and he's

00:23:23going to be really

00:23:23important for us.

00:23:24Jadon Meghoma will also

00:23:26be in the squad for

00:23:27tomorrow night's game

00:23:28after the left back

00:23:28arrived from Brentford

00:23:30he's going straight in as

00:23:32a wild card after being

00:23:33added to the squad list

00:23:35and Martin has said that

00:23:36although Rangers faced

00:23:38Club Bruges earlier in

00:23:39the season as part of the

00:23:40pre-season preparations

00:23:42that he doesn't anticipate

00:23:42that there will be too

00:23:44many similarities between

00:23:45those games tomorrow night

00:23:47he spoke of the fact that

00:23:48both squads already look

00:23:49very different to what

00:23:51they did back in July and

00:23:52also stressed that the

00:23:53atmosphere and the

00:23:54tension particularly with

00:23:55what's at stake will also

00:23:57be very different so

00:23:58interesting to see how

00:23:59this one goes tomorrow

00:24:01evening here at Ibrox

00:24:02that's a massive test for

00:24:04Russell Martin interesting

00:24:05to see how he comes

00:24:06through this one.

00:24:08Yeah Alison out there at

00:24:10Ibrox six wins out of

00:24:11seven for Bruges sitting

00:24:13nicely in third place in

00:24:15the Belgian league and

00:24:17certainly on the evidence

00:24:18of what they produced last

00:24:19year I thought they were a

00:24:20tidy side played really

00:24:21quick and at times at

00:24:23Celtic Park I think the

00:24:24Celtic fans acknowledged

00:24:25how good a side they were.

00:24:27Yeah I think they were a

00:24:28really impressive team

00:24:29Peter I thought they were

00:24:30probably the best team I'd

00:24:31seen at Parkour last

00:24:32season in a one-inch draw

00:24:33I think Celtic scored late

00:24:34to get a point out of the

00:24:36game but I thought Bruges

00:24:37were superb and they had a

00:24:39couple of great results

00:24:40I think they beat Atlanta

00:24:41last season as well so I

00:24:42think they're a huge step

00:24:44up from the calibre of

00:24:45teams that Rangers have

00:24:45been playing.

00:24:46Panathinaikos, Victoria

00:24:47Pilsen.

00:24:48I think Club Bruges are an

00:24:49established Champions League

00:24:50team.

00:24:50You've seen them in the

00:24:51group stages often.

00:24:53I think they got pipped

00:24:54obviously to the league

00:24:55last season with USG but

00:24:57I think they'll come and

00:24:59be favourites.

00:25:00I'm surprised that they're

00:25:01not favourites in this

00:25:02game.

00:25:02I think Rangers are slight

00:25:03favourites with the

00:25:04bookies but I think over the

00:25:05two legs they'll have too

00:25:06much for Rangers.

00:25:07Yeah Ruffey you want to

00:25:10look for the positives and

00:25:11the positives are quite

00:25:12simply that Rangers have to

00:25:15I think take one possible

00:25:18I think they need two goals

00:25:20of a lead to go over to

00:25:22Belgium.

00:25:22I mean this is Bruce who

00:25:23knocked out Salzburg in the

00:25:25last round as well so I

00:25:28think he needs a really big

00:25:29night at Ibrox.

00:25:30The crowd roaring them on

00:25:31got to keep it tight and

00:25:33they'll know that they're

00:25:34going to have to play the

00:25:35ball quickly because I

00:25:36think they'll be closed

00:25:37down very quickly if they

00:25:38don't get their act

00:25:38together.

00:25:39I think the most important

00:25:40thing is scoring the first

00:25:41goal.

00:25:42I think if they score the

00:25:43first goal it'll get

00:25:44everybody off their seats

00:25:45to keep the momentum

00:25:47going in the stadium.

00:25:48They lose the first goal

00:25:49we saw what kind of

00:25:50reaction some of the

00:25:52Rangers players have when

00:25:53they go behind when the

00:25:54fans are 100% behind

00:25:56them.

00:25:57It's a hard watch so I

00:25:59think getting the first

00:26:00goal would help them on

00:26:02their way.

00:26:03Like you I don't think

00:26:04one goal will be enough

00:26:05I think they've got goals

00:26:07in them at home so I'd

00:26:09like to see them win

00:26:10and there's no doubt

00:26:10about that but I can see

00:26:13a draw but I can't see

00:26:14a win.

00:26:14Yeah Paul says Celtic

00:26:16done well to get the

00:26:17draw with Bruges.

00:26:19They were a good side

00:26:20and there's no doubt

00:26:21about it.

00:26:22Can Russell Martin

00:26:23somehow not only work

00:26:24out the way they're

00:26:25going to play but get

00:26:27his side to step up to

00:26:28the plate?

00:26:28There are still worries

00:26:29there from what they

00:26:30produced against Alawa

00:26:32as well and when you

00:26:33look at the start of the

00:26:34season it hasn't been

00:26:36enthralling for the

00:26:37Rangers supporters

00:26:38and certainly looking at

00:26:39it and waiting for some

00:26:40of the bits of the

00:26:41jigsaw to click and

00:26:42he's still got a few

00:26:43players that he'll want

00:26:44to bring in as well

00:26:46but this is a massive

00:26:47one and I think

00:26:49financially the

00:26:49implications are massive

00:26:51because when you're

00:26:53going through a

00:26:54building process of

00:26:55trying to get certain

00:26:56players in it's a

00:26:58different conversation

00:26:59that Russell Martin

00:27:00has with the Rangers

00:27:01board if suddenly they

00:27:03say by the way we've

00:27:04knocked Bruges out

00:27:05we're in the group

00:27:06stages of the

00:27:06Champions League.

00:27:07suddenly they can say

00:27:08here's an extra

00:27:0910 million or here's

00:27:11an extra something.

00:27:13Yeah, no absolutely

00:27:13Peter, I think they'll

00:27:14possibly have two lists

00:27:15one if they get in the

00:27:16Champions League and the

00:27:17quality of players that

00:27:18they could maybe go for

00:27:18and then one for the

00:27:20Europa League if Bruges

00:27:21knocked them out so I

00:27:23think if you're right in

00:27:24the early stages of

00:27:25Rangers rebuild under the

00:27:27new owners I think if

00:27:27they can get in the

00:27:29Champions League get that

00:27:29money it happens faster

00:27:31you get closer to Celtic

00:27:33faster.

00:27:34If you don't then you're

00:27:35in a different market

00:27:36for players you're no

00:27:37banking that money so

00:27:38as I said you never

00:27:40bet against Rangers in

00:27:42European football but

00:27:42what I've seen so far

00:27:44of Rangers in Europe

00:27:44and domestically I'd be

00:27:46pretty surprised if they

00:27:47put out a club of

00:27:48Bruges calibre over two

00:27:50legs.

00:27:50Ruffy, give us your

00:27:52prediction on both of

00:27:53them then because it's

00:27:55Rangers against Bruges

00:27:57first of all and then

00:27:58I'll get your Celtic

00:27:59Kaira Almaty.

00:28:01Yeah, I think it's

00:28:02important Rangers win

00:28:04this game tomorrow night

00:28:05they've got to take

00:28:06something to Bruges

00:28:07they've got to put them

00:28:08on the back foot a wee

00:28:09bit and hopefully they

00:28:10can keep them at bay for

00:28:12maybe 40 minutes

00:28:13something like that so

00:28:14their fans don't get on

00:28:15top of them but you've

00:28:16got to expect the way

00:28:17Rangers are defensing

00:28:18the way just now they're

00:28:20going to lose a goal

00:28:20so I think it's important

00:28:23if they are going to go

00:28:24through it has to be two

00:28:25goal lead.

00:28:26Two goal lead and what's

00:28:27your prediction?

00:28:28One each.

00:28:29Yep, I think one each.

00:28:30Tam?

00:28:31I'll go for 2-1 to

00:28:32Bruges tomorrow.

00:28:33Okay, give us your

00:28:34thoughts on it.

00:28:35Give us your prediction

00:28:36as well.

00:28:37We'd love to hear from

00:29:25So, that's all to look

00:29:27forward to.

00:29:28We've discussed Celtic and

00:29:29Rangers.

00:29:29Kairat Almaty, Ruffy, what

00:29:30are you going for?

00:29:31Well, they got beat at the

00:29:32weekend, 3-2.

00:29:34That's encouraging for

00:29:35Celtic.

00:29:36We'll have to wait and see

00:29:37the quality that comes.

00:29:39I would like to think that

00:29:40Celtic could take maybe a

00:29:41three-goal advantage over

00:29:42there.

00:29:443-0?

00:29:45Yeah, I think so.

00:29:45They've proved at home

00:29:46going forward.

00:29:48They're very difficult to

00:29:50stem and I would like to

00:29:51think they could do that.

00:29:52Okay.

00:29:54Celtic comfortable as

00:29:55well.

00:29:55I think they're a

00:29:56different level from

00:29:57Kairat.

00:29:57Yeah, I'll go for 3-0 as

00:29:58well with Celtic.

00:29:59Okay, I'll go too.

00:30:01Give us your thoughts on

00:30:02that as well.

00:30:03Elsewhere in the Premier

00:30:04Sports Cup, before we look

00:30:05at the draw, just a quick

00:30:06reflection on some of

00:30:08those games.

00:30:09Aberdeen, Nielsen,

00:30:10Yenge and I'll tell you

00:30:11what, Clarsson's flick for

00:30:14his goal was just Gallus.

00:30:16It was brilliant and in the

00:30:17end they won comfortably

00:30:18against Morton.

00:30:19Yeah, I think they need

00:30:19that, Peter.

00:30:20I think they've had a

00:30:20tough start to the season.

00:30:22Obviously finishing last

00:30:23season on such a high

00:30:24when the Scottish Cup

00:30:25the expectations were

00:30:26really high this season

00:30:26with Jimmy Tallinn.

00:30:27Spent a lot of money.

00:30:29You know, they've

00:30:29signed, you know, they've

00:30:30spent a lot of money,

00:30:31a couple of million

00:30:32quid they've spent and

00:30:33that's big money for a

00:30:34club the size of Aberdeen.

00:30:35So, David Cormack has put the

00:30:41money in and you need to see

00:30:44results for that.

00:30:45So, it was a comfortable

00:30:46win.

00:30:47Yenge gets the goal as well,

00:30:48Peter.

00:30:48I think he was written off.

00:30:49He's lethal for a yard.

00:30:50Yeah, I think he's been

00:30:50written off pretty quickly

00:30:52with a lot of people after

00:30:52two games.

00:30:54Did you not write him off

00:30:55last week?

00:30:55Yeah, I thought he'd been

00:30:57poor the first two.

00:30:57I don't think he's rotten,

00:30:59but I think he has been

00:31:00crap in the first two games.

00:31:01But like any striker, that

00:31:03goal will give him

00:31:03confidence and you'd like to

00:31:04see him going and scoring

00:31:05a few more for Aberdeen.

00:31:06But comfortable victory

00:31:08in a place which can be

00:31:10tricky.

00:31:11I said it at the weekend,

00:31:12it can be tricky in

00:31:12December and January

00:31:13in the capital.

00:31:14You know, pissing the rain

00:31:15and a wet park.

00:31:17But summer, nice surface.

00:31:19Aberdeen would do

00:31:20and they enjoyed it

00:31:20and won comfortably.

00:31:22Ruffy?

00:31:22Yeah, I think so.

00:31:23I'm surprised the wee boy

00:31:24Clarkson hasn't played

00:31:25more.

00:31:26I think he's a wonderful

00:31:27wee player.

00:31:28I think he's got great

00:31:28technique.

00:31:30Again, you know, I think

00:31:31it was last year he scored

00:31:32on an absolute screamer

00:31:33top corner for a free

00:31:34kick.

00:31:35So he's got it in him.

00:31:36He uses the confidence.

00:31:38I think he'll get more

00:31:39game time now after that

00:31:40performance that he had.

00:31:41But Aberdeen needed to

00:31:42win that.

00:31:43They needed to win it

00:31:44because of some of the

00:31:44results they'd had.

00:31:45Yeah, OK.

00:31:46And I'll tell you, we need

00:31:48every team in European

00:31:50football.

00:31:51I'm really rooting for

00:31:52Aberdeen and Hibbs as well.

00:31:55But they've got FCSB.

00:31:56I love the way they

00:31:57abbreviate their names.

00:31:58Just call them Stour-Bucarrest

00:32:00and give us peace, will you?

00:32:03Europa League.

00:32:04Desperately hope the

00:32:05Dons can do it.

00:32:06Well, fortunately, it's

00:32:07not that Stour-Bucarrest

00:32:08was a long time ago when

00:32:10they won the European Cup.

00:32:11I love the fact that

00:32:13you're just looking at it

00:32:14as a start, Ruffy.

00:32:15Did you see that

00:32:15Stour-Bucarrest team?

00:32:17Not the team.

00:32:18They won one nothing,

00:32:19didn't they?

00:32:19Barcelona beat in the

00:32:20final.

00:32:20They won in a penalty

00:32:21shootout.

00:32:22They would bore the

00:32:22arse off you.

00:32:23They were the worst

00:32:24team to win the

00:32:24Europe.

00:32:24Did they beat?

00:32:25Barcelona.

00:32:26With, I think,

00:32:28Steve Archibald was in

00:32:29the side.

00:32:301987, if my memory

00:32:32says.

00:32:32Who was their big

00:32:33striker?

00:32:34Their main striker.

00:32:35Big name.

00:32:36For Stour-Bucarrest?

00:32:37I can't remember,

00:32:38Ruffy.

00:32:39Lacketis?

00:32:40No.

00:32:40You're just pulling

00:32:41out any Romanian

00:32:42that you remember.

00:32:43Batch of Warnley,

00:32:44Batch.

00:32:45No.

00:32:47I was trying a

00:32:47Gordon Smith on you.

00:32:49By the way, they did

00:32:51have a star player.

00:32:52Yeah, they did.

00:32:54I'm trying to think

00:32:55who it was.

00:32:55Would it have been

00:32:56Prozenechi?

00:32:58No.

00:32:58I'm not sure, but

00:32:59I'll tell you one

00:33:00thing.

00:33:00It was a

00:33:00Richovic.

00:33:01He played for

00:33:02a great star.

00:33:03He was a good

00:33:03player.

00:33:04But in the end,

00:33:06Ruffy, I thought,

00:33:07you know, listen,

00:33:09we're against Aberdeen

00:33:10and you're right,

00:33:10it's not the same

00:33:11quality that gets

00:33:12the European Cup.

00:33:13No, but this is a

00:33:14year when, obviously,

00:33:15Tam's already touched

00:33:16on it.

00:33:17They've brought in a

00:33:17lot of quality.

00:33:19They've spent a lot

00:33:19of money.

00:33:20The disappointment

00:33:20every year in Europe,

00:33:23year on year,

00:33:24has been basically

00:33:25them getting beat

00:33:26with lesser teams.

00:33:27You would think

00:33:28this year they'd

00:33:28learnt the lesson,

00:33:29you know, of

00:33:30European style of

00:33:30football and hope

00:33:32that they can get

00:33:33a result to get

00:33:33through because,

00:33:34as you say,

00:33:34we need every one

00:33:35of them.

00:33:35Do you fancy

00:33:36them?

00:33:40It's a hard one,

00:33:40you know, I think

00:33:41it's going to be

00:33:41really, really tight.

00:33:42Really tight.

00:33:44Yeah.

00:33:44I do fancy them,

00:33:45Peter, I think they

00:33:45could have got a

00:33:46harder draw than

00:33:46that.

00:33:47I think Hearts

00:33:48will be kicking

00:33:48themselves a couple

00:33:49of seasons ago,

00:33:50they had a real

00:33:50opportunity to get

00:33:51into the Europa

00:33:51League and it's

00:33:53not really a no-lose

00:33:54game but you're

00:33:54guaranteed the

00:33:55Conference League

00:33:55group stages so

00:33:56you can go and

00:33:56have a real go

00:33:57and Starry

00:33:59Bucharest will be a

00:34:00decent team

00:34:00technically but I

00:34:02think if Aberdeen

00:34:02played their

00:34:03potential they can

00:34:03get through that,

00:34:04time.

00:34:05Yeah, I'm just

00:34:05looking here to

00:34:06try and get the

00:34:07names.

00:34:08So the Starry

00:34:09Bucharest side from

00:34:101987, 86 was the

00:34:13final against

00:34:13Barcelona.

00:34:14I was a year out,

00:34:15sorry for that and

00:34:16I'm giving you my

00:34:18full apologies,

00:34:19Lakatush is in

00:34:20there.

00:34:21Tom, I'm giving

00:34:22you my full.

00:34:22There you go.

00:34:23Yeah, absolutely.

00:34:25Was he the man?

00:34:27Yeah.

00:34:28Do you know

00:34:28what, Tom?

00:34:28I'm going to bow to

00:34:30your knowledge there

00:34:31of that and offer

00:34:32you my full apologies,

00:34:33Lakatush is the

00:34:34star man in that

00:34:36side.

00:34:36Jordan Escu, come

00:34:37on, he was another

00:34:39well-known Romanian

00:34:39player but honestly

00:34:40that means Steve

00:34:43Archibald was playing

00:34:44for the side that had

00:34:45Bernd Schuster in it

00:34:46as well and they had

00:34:49a really good team but

00:34:50unfortunately couldn't

00:34:51get past them,

00:34:52ended up going to a

00:34:53penalty shootout,

00:34:54Stoia Bucharest won

00:34:55it.

00:34:56Aberdeen, are you

00:34:57fancying them to win

00:34:58it?

00:34:58Yeah, I'm going to

00:34:58stick with them.

00:34:59I'm going to stick

00:35:01with them to get a

00:35:01narrow lead, 1-0.

00:35:03Aye?

00:35:03Yeah.

00:35:04I think they won.

00:35:04I'll go for 2-1.

00:35:052-1, yeah.

00:35:06If you're a Don's

00:35:07fan, what do you

00:35:09make of it?

00:35:10Yeah, thanks

00:35:10Roderick who says

00:35:111986, Stoia won it.

00:35:13Yeah, 1986,

00:35:14absolutely unbelievable

00:35:16and the other thing I

00:35:18was going to say is

00:35:20that, you know,

00:35:21somebody says,

00:35:22Peter, you're going

00:35:23to give a mention

00:35:23to our southern

00:35:24friends at Newcastle

00:35:26and Sunderland.

00:35:28I'm not quite sure

00:35:28what that's all about

00:35:29by the way.

00:35:30We do mention every

00:35:31team in this football

00:35:32show, believe me.

00:35:34Aberdeen, we want to

00:35:35get them through,

00:35:36hopefully against

00:35:37Bucharest.

00:35:38Give us your

00:35:38thoughts on that.

00:35:39Are we going to

00:35:40have four teams in

00:35:40European competition?

00:35:42I'll tell you one

00:35:42thing, I know I keep

00:35:43battering on about

00:35:43the money, Ruffy.

00:35:44Wouldn't it be great

00:35:45if they got that

00:35:455, 6, 7, 8

00:35:48million extra?

00:35:49Yeah, well what

00:35:50happened?

00:35:50I mean, football

00:35:51teams at the

00:35:52beginning of the

00:35:52season are going to

00:35:53have a meeting and

00:35:53they talk about

00:35:54budgets and the

00:35:55manager is always

00:35:56saying,

00:35:56what are you giving

00:35:57me?

00:35:57And they obviously

00:35:57say, well if you do

00:35:58particularly well

00:35:59we'll get you a wee

00:35:59bit extra.

00:36:00So he knows at the

00:36:01end of the day if

00:36:02he's got the

00:36:02loyalty between the

00:36:04people who own the

00:36:05club, if he does

00:36:06well he can go and

00:36:07sharp the door and

00:36:08say, here I've

00:36:09produced the goods

00:36:10for you, what are

00:36:10you giving me?

00:36:12Okay, we'll talk

00:36:13about Hibs in Europe

00:36:14in a moment.

00:36:15Party Thistle 2

00:36:15here, United 0.

00:36:16Ruffy, you're

00:36:17a great result.

00:36:18The only downside

00:36:19for me was it was

00:36:20a drawing to play

00:36:22at home, which

00:36:23revenue I would like

00:36:24to think at this

00:36:25moment in time.

00:36:25I don't think

00:36:26Partick Thistle

00:36:27would expect to

00:36:27beat Celtic, but

00:36:28if you can go into

00:36:29that game and

00:36:29maybe come out

00:36:30with maybe 100,000

00:36:32if it had been at

00:36:32Parkhead, it would

00:36:34have been 100,000.

00:36:35I don't know how

00:36:36they're going to carve

00:36:37it up with the crowd

00:36:38because Celtic

00:36:39supporters will want

00:36:40to go there, but

00:36:41so will the Thistle

00:36:41supporters as well.

00:36:43I hope it's a full

00:36:44house and I'm sure

00:36:45Thistle will give a

00:36:46good account of

00:36:47themselves.

00:36:47And a wee bit

00:36:48wide of Tony Watt

00:36:49trying to claim the

00:36:49goal when Chalmers

00:36:50hits it, I think

00:36:51he'll come off his

00:36:51back ankle.

00:36:53As a striker, Pete,

00:36:54you try and claim

00:36:54Everton, I've done

00:36:55that myself.

00:36:56He said it was a

00:36:58back heel volley.

00:37:00He's trying to claim

00:37:01it, but just judging

00:37:02on the highlights,

00:37:03Thistle looked well

00:37:04on top in that

00:37:05game.

00:37:06I think they've got

00:37:06a few injuries and

00:37:08they're struggling a

00:37:08wee bit at the

00:37:09minute, but as

00:37:10Ruffie said, great

00:37:11tie for them

00:37:11financially.

00:37:12Partick Thistle,

00:37:12well documented,

00:37:13struggling a wee bit

00:37:14financially this

00:37:15season.

00:37:16It'll be interesting

00:37:17to see if they look

00:37:17after their own

00:37:18fans or they bow to

00:37:20the green and

00:37:21white pound and

00:37:23give Celtic the

00:37:24majority of the

00:37:25stadium.

00:37:25I'll tell you

00:37:26what they do,

00:37:26they give Celtic

00:37:27the majority of the

00:37:27stadium.

00:37:28You need to be

00:37:28off your nut not

00:37:29to.

00:37:30Come on,

00:37:30Ruffie.

00:37:31Next season tickets,

00:37:32you're talking

00:37:32about 2,500.

00:37:33Are you kidding

00:37:33me?

00:37:34This is a club

00:37:34that needs money.

00:37:35I mean,

00:37:35you give Celtic

00:37:36fans three sides

00:37:37and you take all

00:37:39the money.

00:37:39Are you daft?

00:37:39I think there

00:37:40might be a bit

00:37:40of health and

00:37:41safety with the

00:37:42old stand and

00:37:42I think the

00:37:42police will be

00:37:44the ones that

00:37:44decide because

00:37:45they don't like

00:37:45segregation.

00:37:47There's not

00:37:47enough room in

00:37:48that stand to

00:37:49segregate two

00:37:50sets of

00:37:51supporters.

00:37:51What would you

00:37:51do if you were

00:37:52on the board

00:37:52again like a

00:37:53yo-yo?

00:37:53Remember those

00:37:53days?

00:37:54I'd give

00:37:54them a season

00:37:55ticket.

00:37:56First choice.

00:37:56I wouldn't

00:37:57have wanted to

00:37:57move them out

00:37:58of their seat.

00:37:59They're the ones

00:37:59that have been

00:38:00loyal.

00:38:01Okay.

00:38:03What would

00:38:04you do,

00:38:04Tam?

00:38:06I'd take the

00:38:07money.

00:38:07Yeah,

00:38:08absolutely.

00:38:08I don't think

00:38:09there's any

00:38:09hope in hell

00:38:09that's

00:38:10half of

00:38:10this will

00:38:10beat Celtic

00:38:11so take as

00:38:12much money as

00:38:13you can and

00:38:13use it to try

00:38:14and come up

00:38:14this season.

00:38:15Faddinger scored

00:38:16for Motherwell

00:38:16they knocked

00:38:17out St.

00:38:17Johnson.

00:38:17It took

00:38:18extra time

00:38:18though,

00:38:19Tam.

00:38:19Yeah,

00:38:19extra time.

00:38:20Motherwell might

00:38:21have been out

00:38:21if it went

00:38:21straight to

00:38:22penalties.

00:38:23So,

00:38:24well done

00:38:25extra time

00:38:25for Motherwell.

00:38:26Yeah,

00:38:26absolutely.

00:38:27I don't give

00:38:28out.

00:38:29Motherwell

00:38:29does have

00:38:30to win.

00:38:30It could

00:38:31have went

00:38:31near it.

00:38:32I mean,

00:38:32the boy

00:38:32Holt should

00:38:33have buried

00:38:33it.

00:38:34The ball

00:38:34had come

00:38:35across it.

00:38:36So,

00:38:36Johnson had

00:38:37chances more

00:38:38than they

00:38:39thought they

00:38:39would have

00:38:39got but

00:38:40the game

00:38:40just swung

00:38:41back forward.

00:38:42By the way,

00:38:42can I just

00:38:43say,

00:38:43I know people

00:38:43are going

00:38:44to give

00:38:44me a

00:38:44tight because

00:38:45I'm

00:38:45saying

00:38:45extra time

00:38:46but I

00:38:47was up

00:38:47at

00:38:48Tanadice

00:38:48on Thursday

00:38:49night and

00:38:50it goes

00:38:50to extra

00:38:51time and

00:38:52I'm thinking

00:38:52oh come

00:38:53on.

00:38:54Is it

00:38:54up and

00:38:54down the

00:38:54road?

00:38:55Well,

00:38:56the point

00:38:57I was

00:38:57saying was

00:38:58you've

00:38:59played 90

00:38:59minutes in

00:39:00the away

00:39:01ground for

00:39:02Dundee

00:39:03United and

00:39:04they're now

00:39:04subjected to

00:39:05playing 90

00:39:05minutes in

00:39:06Dundee

00:39:07United's

00:39:07ground.

00:39:08So,

00:39:08that's fair.

00:39:09You go

00:39:10straight to

00:39:10penalties.

00:39:11If the two

00:39:11you can't

00:39:12beat each

00:39:12other in

00:39:12the 90

00:39:13minutes within

00:39:14the regulated

00:39:14time at

00:39:15each ground,

00:39:16don't give

00:39:16anybody the

00:39:17advantage of

00:39:18going to

00:39:18all the

00:39:19United fans

00:39:20going,

00:39:20woo,

00:39:20not that it

00:39:20mattered because

00:39:21it didn't

00:39:21really matter

00:39:22anyway.

00:39:22But I

00:39:23would go

00:39:24straight to

00:39:24penalties and

00:39:25say,

00:39:25right,

00:39:25you've

00:39:25played your

00:39:2690 minutes,

00:39:27home and

00:39:27away,

00:39:28straight to

00:39:29penalties,

00:39:30bish bash.

00:39:30Would you

00:39:31not just

00:39:31after the

00:39:3290 minutes,

00:39:32if it was

00:39:33still a tie

00:39:33in the

00:39:33second leg,

00:39:34Peter,

00:39:34would you

00:39:34not just

00:39:34say,

00:39:35right,

00:39:35that's the

00:39:35game finished

00:39:36and you

00:39:36play the

00:39:36next 30

00:39:37minutes in

00:39:37Switzerland

00:39:37to the

00:39:38neutral

00:39:38venue?

00:39:39Right,

00:39:39now you're

00:39:40just ripping

00:39:40the arse out

00:39:41of it.

00:39:41What about,

00:39:42I don't know

00:39:43if you know,

00:39:43me and

00:39:43Tam played in

00:39:44America.

00:39:45Yeah,

00:39:46I'd heard that.

00:39:46I didn't

00:39:49take part

00:39:50in them,

00:39:50but I've

00:39:50seen them.

00:39:51I thought

00:39:51that's good.

00:39:53The

00:39:54penalty kick's

00:39:55too easy.

00:39:57That'd be

00:39:57brilliant for you.

00:39:58The excitement

00:39:58of somebody

00:39:59coming for the

00:40:00halfway line

00:40:00and having to

00:40:01get to the

00:40:0218-yard line

00:40:02before he

00:40:03shoots.

00:40:03Can I tell you

00:40:04something though,

00:40:04Ruffy,

00:40:05can I ask you

00:40:05this,

00:40:05and again,

00:40:06we just

00:40:06slightly digress,

00:40:07but I think

00:40:07it's a good

00:40:08point you make.

00:40:09If it was

00:40:10me with that

00:40:12situation,

00:40:13I would run

00:40:14as fast as I

00:40:15could,

00:40:15because I know

00:40:15the goalkeeper

00:40:16then his

00:40:17objective is

00:40:18to come out

00:40:19and narrow

00:40:19the angles

00:40:20for you.

00:40:21Then at that

00:40:21point,

00:40:22Ruffy,

00:40:22I would flick

00:40:22the ball up

00:40:23and just

00:40:23launch it

00:40:23over his

00:40:24head.

00:40:25Did that

00:40:25happen?

00:40:26I suppose

00:40:27it did,

00:40:27but you've

00:40:27got to have

00:40:28the confidence

00:40:28of your

00:40:28ability to

00:40:29do it.

00:40:30And remember

00:40:30the organs

00:40:31playing in

00:40:31the background.

00:40:32Ah,

00:40:32yeah,

00:40:32the organs

00:40:33are dead.

00:40:33Well,

00:40:33you're dead.

00:40:35Dead,

00:40:35dead,

00:40:36dead,

00:40:36dead.

00:40:36It just keeps

00:40:38going faster.

00:40:39Yeah,

00:40:40I didn't know

00:40:40that bit,

00:40:40Ruffy.

00:40:41Yeah,

00:40:42but listen,

00:40:43I don't

00:40:43fancy the

00:40:46confident

00:40:46enough if

00:40:47you were

00:40:47there and

00:40:49you're

00:40:49playing for

00:40:49your team,

00:40:50male or

00:40:51female,

00:40:52it doesn't

00:40:53matter what

00:40:54gender of

00:40:55football it

00:40:56is,

00:40:56could you

00:40:57run from

00:40:57the halfway

00:40:58line with

00:40:59the old

00:40:59piano and

00:41:00the organ

00:41:01going and

00:41:01the clock,

00:41:02the fans

00:41:03cheering in

00:41:03the background,

00:41:04could you

00:41:04hold your

00:41:04nerve and

00:41:05beat the

00:41:06goalie in

00:41:06that?

00:41:06Would you

00:41:07prefer that?

00:41:07Do you think

00:41:07that's more

00:41:08exciting?

00:41:09A wee bit

00:41:09of American

00:41:10razzmatazz,

00:41:11as Ruffy has

00:41:12mentioned.

00:41:13I'm not too

00:41:13sure.

00:41:14Anyway,

00:41:14straight from

00:41:15extra time

00:41:15at

00:41:16Taradise,

00:41:16I go to

00:41:17St Mirren's

00:41:17ground and

00:41:18we're on to

00:41:19extra time

00:41:20again.

00:41:21It was

00:41:21probably just

00:41:22two games

00:41:22where I

00:41:22looked at

00:41:23and I

00:41:23thought,

00:41:23you know,

00:41:24just go to

00:41:25penalties,

00:41:25what's the

00:41:26point?

00:41:26They both

00:41:26cancelled each

00:41:27other out over

00:41:28the 15

00:41:28minutes of

00:41:29each half

00:41:30again and

00:41:31then it

00:41:31went to

00:41:31penalties and

00:41:32by the way,

00:41:33St Mirren were

00:41:34really,

00:41:35really,

00:41:35really good

00:41:36penalties that

00:41:37they took.

00:41:38I think the

00:41:38first one,

00:41:39Peter,

00:41:39I think

00:41:39Rander Clark

00:41:40should save.

00:41:41Yeah?

00:41:41I think that

00:41:42was a poor

00:41:42penalty,

00:41:43he should have

00:41:43saved that and

00:41:43then our

00:41:44four were

00:41:44tremendous.

00:41:45Four were

00:41:45top corner.

00:41:45Yeah,

00:41:46the next four

00:41:46after that.

00:41:49Unfortunately

00:41:49for Hartz,

00:41:50that's the

00:41:50treble at the

00:41:50window.

00:41:51Yeah,

00:41:51I noticed that

00:41:54you noised

00:41:55everybody up

00:41:56after my

00:41:56tweet,

00:41:57which caused

00:41:58a fair bit

00:41:59of consternation.

00:42:00Well,

00:42:00with the clicks.

00:42:01Well,

00:42:02not only that,

00:42:02I knew right

00:42:03away you

00:42:03thought you'd

00:42:04thrown your

00:42:04usual incendiary

00:42:05device in and

00:42:06then ran

00:42:07away.

00:42:08But,

00:42:08yeah,

00:42:10treble's gone,

00:42:10but,

00:42:11tongue-in-cheek

00:42:12from Tam,

00:42:14I thought

00:42:14first half

00:42:15St Mirren were

00:42:15great,

00:42:16Ruffy,

00:42:16and I think

00:42:17you cannot

00:42:18compliment him.

00:42:20Hard to beat

00:42:20at that stadium,

00:42:21you really are.

00:42:22And this is,

00:42:22you know,

00:42:23listen,

00:42:24this is what

00:42:24Stephen Robinson

00:42:25and Derek

00:42:26McKenna's had

00:42:26to say.

00:42:29I just felt

00:42:30one or two,

00:42:31I don't think

00:42:31anybody on our

00:42:32team set up

00:42:34with intention

00:42:35to just set up

00:42:35a penalty,

00:42:36because I didn't

00:42:36look at that,

00:42:37but I just felt

00:42:37maybe one or two

00:42:38could just give

00:42:39a bit more,

00:42:39just drag

00:42:40yourself in,

00:42:41make the

00:42:42difference.

00:42:43Coach St Mirren

00:42:43hemmed in

00:42:44at times,

00:42:46where shape

00:42:46was good

00:42:46against their

00:42:47shape,

00:42:47I felt,

00:42:48in that extra

00:42:48time period,

00:42:50and you're

00:42:50just looking

00:42:50for somebody

00:42:51to step up,

00:42:51and we never

00:42:52quite managed

00:42:53to do that,

00:42:54and then it

00:42:55plays out

00:42:55into penalties,

00:42:56which,

00:42:56you know,

00:42:56can happen,

00:42:57but disappointed

00:42:58to exit the

00:42:58Cup,

00:42:59congratulate

00:42:59St Mirren,

00:43:00they've won

00:43:00a tight tie

00:43:01on penalties.

00:43:02Yeah,

00:43:02we've done

00:43:03it three

00:43:03seasons in a row

00:43:04where we've

00:43:04defied the odds.

00:43:07Football isn't

00:43:07played on a

00:43:08fine hunt sheet,

00:43:08it certainly

00:43:09helps,

00:43:09it certainly

00:43:10helps you

00:43:10sign more

00:43:11ready-made

00:43:12players,

00:43:12but what it

00:43:13can't give you

00:43:13is a heart

00:43:14and a desire

00:43:14that we have,

00:43:15and we have

00:43:16an abundance,

00:43:17but you've

00:43:17also seen our

00:43:17quality first

00:43:18half,

00:43:18some really,

00:43:19really good

00:43:19football.

00:43:20We just

00:43:20lacked a

00:43:21little bit

00:43:21of composure,

00:43:22we looked

00:43:22tired in the

00:43:23second half,

00:43:23which made

00:43:24the game

00:43:24harder than

00:43:25we thought,

00:43:26and it's

00:43:26not for me

00:43:26to concentrate

00:43:27on hearts,

00:43:27I'm just

00:43:28looking at my

00:43:28team,

00:43:29ever so proud

00:43:30of each

00:43:30individual,

00:43:31and hopefully

00:43:32we get a

00:43:33bit of a

00:43:33lock in the

00:43:33draw.

00:43:34I think

00:43:35you should

00:43:35be proud

00:43:36of them,

00:43:36because in

00:43:37that first

00:43:37half,

00:43:37they defended

00:43:39well,

00:43:40I like the

00:43:41boy Killian

00:43:41Phillips,

00:43:42he's a

00:43:43player,

00:43:45and Bacchus

00:43:46was great,

00:43:46he looked as

00:43:47if he'd

00:43:47never been

00:43:48away,

00:43:48fitted in,

00:43:49really good

00:43:50play,

00:43:51second half

00:43:51hearts,

00:43:52made three

00:43:52big changes,

00:43:54and started

00:43:55to really get

00:43:55a grip on

00:43:56the game,

00:43:57but just

00:43:57lacked that

00:43:58wee bit of,

00:43:59I think there's

00:43:59still something

00:43:59missing from

00:44:00them,

00:44:00I think they

00:44:00need another

00:44:01option,

00:44:02other than

00:44:03Shanklin.

00:44:03No,

00:44:04I think you've

00:44:04given all the

00:44:05credit to

00:44:05St Mirren,

00:44:06I think

00:44:06St Mirren are

00:44:07now turning

00:44:08into a team

00:44:09that other

00:44:09teams don't

00:44:10want to go

00:44:10and play

00:44:10at their

00:44:10ground,

00:44:11you know,

00:44:12you get a

00:44:12team,

00:44:13you don't

00:44:13have no

00:44:13fans that

00:44:13go in

00:44:14there,

00:44:14they always

00:44:14make it

00:44:14hard for

00:44:15you,

00:44:15I think

00:44:15St Mirren

00:44:16are now

00:44:16that team

00:44:17that nobody

00:44:18likes going

00:44:18there,

00:44:18because they

00:44:19know they're

00:44:19going to be

00:44:19in for a

00:44:20battle,

00:44:21if they're

00:44:22going to get

00:44:22it in,

00:44:23they're going to

00:44:23fight right

00:44:24until the

00:44:24end,

00:44:24and that's

00:44:25what they

00:44:25do,

00:44:25I thought

00:44:26the free

00:44:26kick was

00:44:27well worked,

00:44:28they'd obviously

00:44:28worked on it,

00:44:29everybody's waiting

00:44:30and the curler

00:44:31coming in and

00:44:32he plays it

00:44:32wide,

00:44:33which shifted

00:44:33a lot of

00:44:34people and

00:44:35left a big

00:44:35room for

00:44:36Gogic,

00:44:36it was

00:44:37fantastic.

00:44:37You know what

00:44:37was great

00:44:38about Gogic,

00:44:38Tom,

00:44:39see at times

00:44:40in the back

00:44:40line,

00:44:41he's a

00:44:41calming

00:44:42influence,

00:44:43and he does

00:44:43the big lad

00:44:44play some

00:44:45really nice

00:44:45football,

00:44:46plays it out

00:44:46from the

00:44:46back,

00:44:47but then

00:44:47Steven

00:44:48Robertson

00:44:49thinks,

00:44:49we've lost

00:44:50a wee bit

00:44:50of a grip

00:44:50in the

00:44:51midfield,

00:44:52so he

00:44:52sticks him

00:44:52in there

00:44:53and then

00:44:53he just

00:44:54changes it

00:44:55and puts

00:44:55another man

00:44:56into the

00:44:56back line

00:44:56and Gogic

00:44:57adds a wee

00:44:58bit of

00:44:58steel in

00:44:59there,

00:44:59I just

00:44:59thought he

00:44:59was,

00:45:00you know

00:45:00he's,

00:45:01I don't

00:45:01know,

00:45:02I'm not

00:45:02saying he's

00:45:02much malign

00:45:03because I

00:45:03think a lot

00:45:04of people

00:45:04realise the

00:45:05quality of

00:45:05him.

00:45:06I really

00:45:06liked him

00:45:07at Hibs,

00:45:07he was

00:45:07brilliant under

00:45:08Jack Ross,

00:45:09the season

00:45:09Hibs finished

00:45:09third,

00:45:10Hibs went

00:45:12a different

00:45:12direction and

00:45:13they ended

00:45:13up going

00:45:13to St.

00:45:14Myrne,

00:45:14my brother

00:45:15in law and

00:45:16his brother

00:45:16are season

00:45:17ticket holders

00:45:17at St.

00:45:18Myrne and

00:45:19they think

00:45:19he's one of

00:45:20the best

00:45:20players they've

00:45:20ever seen,

00:45:21I mean they're

00:45:21both in their

00:45:2250s and

00:45:23they think

00:45:23Gogic,

00:45:24I thought you

00:45:24were going

00:45:24to say

00:45:24they're both

00:45:25five.

00:45:26No,

00:45:26they're both

00:45:27older and

00:45:29honestly,

00:45:30when I say

00:45:30to them

00:45:30they're top

00:45:31three ever

00:45:32St.

00:45:32Myrne players

00:45:32he's in it,

00:45:33I'm telling

00:45:35you they love

00:45:36Gogic,

00:45:36they think he's

00:45:37absolutely

00:45:38tremendous,

00:45:39no,

00:45:40they love

00:45:41Gogic,

00:45:41they absolutely

00:45:42love him,

00:45:43the St.

00:45:43Myrne fans

00:45:43love him.

00:45:43He's a good

00:45:44player,

00:45:44he's not the

00:45:45best St.

00:45:45he's not the

00:45:46best St.

00:45:47Myrne players

00:45:47of all time

00:45:48roughy.

00:45:48Come on.

00:45:49Come on.

00:45:49Why don't you

00:45:49sit here and

00:45:50start rhyming

00:45:51off players?

00:45:52Frank MacDougall,

00:45:53Frank McGarvey,

00:45:54Jackie Copeland,

00:45:55it's all about

00:45:55opinions.

00:45:56Billy Abercrombie.

00:45:57They love

00:45:58Gogic and

00:45:58the St.

00:45:59Myrne fans

00:45:59adore him,

00:45:59he's a cult

00:46:00hero.

00:46:00Oh,

00:46:00no wonder

00:46:01he's a star,

00:46:02I mean,

00:46:02we had Stephen

00:46:03Robertson in

00:46:03here and

00:46:04I don't know

00:46:05if you remember,

00:46:05Stephen said

00:46:06one of his

00:46:06players chapped

00:46:07the door to

00:46:08say I think

00:46:08I'm not getting

00:46:09as much money

00:46:10as Gogic

00:46:11and Stephen

00:46:15a great line

00:46:15isn't it?

00:46:16It's just a

00:46:16brilliant line,

00:46:17he can play

00:46:17anywhere,

00:46:18I just think

00:46:18he's a great

00:46:19player but

00:46:19it's a good

00:46:21pub argument

00:46:22isn't it?

00:46:22By the way

00:46:23the difference

00:46:23is if you

00:46:24have that

00:46:25pub argument

00:46:25and Paisley

00:46:26there's a

00:46:27full scale

00:46:27around the

00:46:28street.

00:46:29You think

00:46:31of that

00:46:31St.

00:46:31Myrne team

00:46:32that won

00:46:32the cup?

00:46:33I can't

00:46:34know,

00:46:34he's head

00:46:34to the

00:46:35Strolls

00:46:35into that.

00:46:35Have a word

00:46:36with your

00:46:36brother

00:46:36Myrne.

00:46:37Strolls

00:46:37into that

00:46:38street

00:46:38way.

00:46:38Ian Ferguson

00:46:39played for

00:46:40St.

00:46:40Myrne for

00:46:40God's sake,

00:46:41scored the

00:46:41winner in

00:46:42the cup

00:46:42final.

00:46:43He's

00:46:43a great

00:46:43player.

00:46:44Anyway,

00:46:44no,

00:46:45absolutely

00:46:45not.

00:46:47Ian Ferguson

00:46:48has got

00:46:4810 Premier

00:46:49League medals

00:46:50from me.

00:46:51He's a

00:46:51great player.

00:46:52Kelly 2,

00:46:53Dundee

00:46:54United 1.

00:46:55This is

00:46:55what Stuart

00:46:56Kettlewell

00:46:56and Jim

00:46:56Goodwin

00:46:57made of

00:46:57it all.

00:46:58First

00:46:58half I

00:46:58thought we

00:46:58played

00:46:59some

00:46:59OK

00:46:59football

00:46:59at

00:47:01not the

00:47:01kind

00:47:01of tempo

00:47:02that we

00:47:02want to.

00:47:03Second

00:47:03half I

00:47:03thought we

00:47:04offered

00:47:04very,

00:47:05very little

00:47:05in an

00:47:06attacking

00:47:06front going

00:47:07forward.

00:47:07We ran

00:47:08out of

00:47:08steam,

00:47:08we ran

00:47:09out of

00:47:11the

00:47:13Cup

00:47:13or

00:47:13something

00:47:13as

00:47:13that.

00:47:14I

00:47:14think

00:47:15the

00:47:15secret

00:47:16to

00:47:16everything

00:47:16is to

00:47:16try and

00:47:17get the

00:47:17buy-in

00:47:17for the

00:47:18players

00:47:18as much

00:47:18as you

00:47:18can.

00:47:19I need

00:47:20to go

00:47:20on record

00:47:20again

00:47:21today

00:47:21and say

00:47:22that their

00:47:22buy-in

00:47:22has been

00:47:23first class

00:47:23but we

00:47:24have to

00:47:24keep

00:47:24working

00:47:25and

00:47:25moving

00:47:26forward

00:47:26and not

00:47:26standing

00:47:26still.

00:47:28United

00:47:29just ran

00:47:29out of

00:47:29gas.

00:47:30Horrible

00:47:30feeling.

00:47:31Knocked

00:47:31out of

00:47:31two

00:47:31cups

00:47:32in one

00:47:33week.

00:47:33It must

00:47:34be very,

00:47:35very

00:47:35difficult.

00:47:36A lifted

00:47:37dressing room.

00:47:38Obviously

00:47:38a lot of

00:47:38foreign

00:47:39players

00:47:39in there.

00:47:40You've

00:47:40got to

00:47:40hope

00:47:40that

00:47:41there's

00:47:41a lot

00:47:41of

00:47:41good

00:47:42footballers

00:47:43in there.

00:47:44Guys who

00:47:44can encourage

00:47:45the other

00:47:46ones to get

00:47:47their heads

00:47:47up and go

00:47:47on with it.

00:47:48It's a long

00:47:48season and

00:47:50you just

00:47:50hope the fans

00:47:51keep buying

00:47:51into everything

00:47:52he's trying

00:47:52to do.

00:47:53I think

00:47:53they're going

00:47:53to be top

00:47:54six.

00:47:55I genuinely

00:47:55do.

00:47:57Dundee

00:47:58United,

00:47:58I still

00:47:59think he's

00:47:59got quality.

00:48:00I like him

00:48:01as a

00:48:01manager.

00:48:02I think

00:48:02he's come

00:48:02through a lot

00:48:03of pain.

00:48:04He's

00:48:04growing in

00:48:06stature.

00:48:07I like the

00:48:07way they

00:48:07play football.

00:48:08I think he

00:48:08needs a couple

00:48:09more players.

00:48:10Fair play to

00:48:11Kilmarnock because

00:48:11it's going to

00:48:12become really

00:48:12difficult for

00:48:13all of us to

00:48:13try and pick

00:48:14and I'm

00:48:14going to ask

00:48:15you to pick

00:48:15who's going

00:48:16to be in

00:48:17the playoff

00:48:17and who's

00:48:17going to be

00:48:18relegated.

00:48:18Once we get

00:48:19to September

00:48:191st and we

00:48:20see the

00:48:20strength of

00:48:20the signings

00:48:21but Kelly,

00:48:22the boy

00:48:23Brannan's

00:48:23pass for

00:48:24Dakar's

00:48:24goal was

00:48:25just top

00:48:25draw.

00:48:26It was a

00:48:26really promising

00:48:28young player.

00:48:28Obviously

00:48:29scored a

00:48:29scream at

00:48:30Easter Road

00:48:30as well.

00:48:32I'm not

00:48:32so sure

00:48:32about

00:48:33Kelly this

00:48:33year.

00:48:34They've

00:48:34started pretty

00:48:35well.

00:48:35I think

00:48:36they've had

00:48:36two of the

00:48:36rows in the

00:48:36league and

00:48:37obviously a

00:48:38good result

00:48:38of the

00:48:39weekend.

00:48:40I still

00:48:40think they'll

00:48:41be running

00:48:41about the

00:48:41bottom.

00:48:42I agree with

00:48:45Dungeon United.

00:48:46I think

00:48:46they're just

00:48:47leggy,

00:48:47they're just

00:48:48tired.

00:48:48They've got

00:48:48a lot of

00:48:49injuries and

00:48:49a hard

00:48:50schedule.

00:48:50I think

00:48:51once things

00:48:51settle down

00:48:52they'll be

00:48:53in the

00:48:53top six

00:48:53again.

00:48:54We're going

00:48:55to talk

00:48:55about this

00:48:55last team

00:48:56here.

00:48:57Livingston

00:48:570,

00:48:57Hibs 2,

00:48:58Clangia

00:48:59and Mulligan.

00:49:00Mulligan's

00:49:00a screamer

00:49:00wasn't it?

00:49:01Yeah,

00:49:02I think he's

00:49:02been a

00:49:03fantastic

00:49:03signing

00:49:03Peter.

00:49:04He was

00:49:04heavily

00:49:05linked to

00:49:05Rangers

00:49:06last

00:49:06season.

00:49:06I don't

00:49:06think

00:49:07Russell

00:49:07Martin

00:49:07fancied

00:49:08them.

00:49:10Rangers

00:49:10has

00:49:11lost

00:49:11Hibs

00:49:11has

00:49:11gained.

00:49:12He looks

00:49:12a tremendous

00:49:12player.

00:49:13He can

00:49:13play in

00:49:13numerous

00:49:14positions

00:49:14as

00:49:14well.

00:49:15Great

00:49:15engine

00:49:16up and

00:49:16down

00:49:16the

00:49:16park.

00:49:17I'm

00:49:18delighted

00:49:18for

00:49:19Cleegee

00:49:20who scored

00:49:20the goal

00:49:20as well.

00:49:21He's

00:49:21obviously

00:49:21came with

00:49:22a massive

00:49:22price tag.

00:49:23A lot

00:49:24Hibs

00:49:24supporters

00:49:24want to

00:49:24see

00:49:25more

00:49:25of him.

00:49:26I think

00:49:26David

00:49:26Gray

00:49:26has

00:49:27managed

00:49:27him

00:49:27well.

00:49:28He's

00:49:28obviously

00:49:28been

00:49:29settling

00:49:29in and

00:49:29not quite

00:49:30ready to

00:49:31start

00:49:32games.

00:49:32I think

00:49:33it was a

00:49:33perfect

00:49:33opportunity

00:49:34yesterday.

00:49:34He came

00:49:34in and

00:49:35looked

00:49:35sharp.

00:49:36He scored

00:49:36a great

00:49:36header.

00:49:37Again,

00:49:38it gives

00:49:38David

00:49:39Gray a

00:49:39welcome

00:49:41headache

00:49:41for the

00:49:41weekend.

00:49:42Saringer

00:49:42came in

00:49:43and kept

00:49:44a clean

00:49:44sheet.

00:49:44Nothing

00:49:45much to

00:49:45do.

00:49:45Does he

00:49:45keep

00:49:46Smith

00:49:46in?

00:49:47Does he

00:49:47bring

00:49:47him

00:49:48back

00:49:48in?

00:49:48The

00:49:48big

00:49:54I think

00:49:54Hibs

00:49:54are looking

00:49:55really

00:49:55strong at

00:49:55the minute

00:49:55as well.

00:49:57Do you

00:49:58fancy

00:49:58them

00:49:58against

00:49:59Lesia?

00:49:59I think

00:50:00they need

00:50:02to win a

00:50:03home game.

00:50:03They need

00:50:04to go

00:50:04over to

00:50:04Poland.

00:50:04I think

00:50:05Hibs

00:50:08will

00:50:09take

00:50:09care

00:50:09of

00:50:10them

00:50:10at

00:50:10home.

00:50:10I'll

00:50:11tell you

00:50:11one

00:50:11thing

00:50:12they can't

00:50:15stop

00:50:15talking

00:50:15about

00:50:15Kieran

00:50:16Bowie

00:50:16as

00:50:16well.

00:50:19Nicky

00:50:20Cadden

00:50:20gets

00:50:20back

00:50:21up

00:50:21to

00:50:21speed

00:50:21again.

00:50:22Gets

00:50:22in

00:50:22a

00:50:23regular

00:50:24amount

00:50:24of

00:50:24games.

00:50:24They've

00:50:24got

00:50:25options.

00:50:25They might

00:50:27surprise us

00:50:27with a

00:50:27couple of

00:50:28signings

00:50:28as well.

00:50:29Yeah,

00:50:30they certainly

00:50:30have.

00:50:31Whoever's

00:50:31owning the

00:50:32club is

00:50:32back to

00:50:33manager.

00:50:33I've seen

00:50:34all the

00:50:35good stuff

00:50:35he's done

00:50:36and gave

00:50:36him the

00:50:36money to

00:50:36bring in.

00:50:37Obviously

00:50:37Hanley

00:50:38wouldn't

00:50:38be cheap

00:50:38or it

00:50:39would be

00:50:39wages.

00:50:41I think

00:50:42they're

00:50:42looking a

00:50:42lot

00:50:43better at

00:50:43the

00:50:43back.

00:50:44I like

00:50:44the

00:50:44boy

00:50:45McGrath

00:50:45in the

00:50:45midfield.

00:50:46He gives

00:50:47you a

00:50:47bit of

00:50:48stability

00:50:49in there

00:50:49and as

00:50:50Tam said

00:50:50they've

00:50:50got three

00:50:51or four

00:50:51options

00:50:51up front

00:50:52plus the

00:50:53Cardam

00:50:53boys

00:50:53wide.

00:50:54Do you

00:50:55fancy

00:50:55them

00:50:56leisure?

00:50:56I'm

00:50:56going to

00:50:56stick

00:50:56with

00:50:57them

00:50:57as

00:50:57well.

00:50:57What

00:50:58score?

00:50:592-0.

00:51:012-0.

00:51:012-1

00:51:02Hibs for

00:51:02me.

00:51:022-1

00:51:03Hibs?

00:51:03I know

00:51:05they're prone

00:51:06to lose

00:51:06a goal

00:51:06haven't they?

00:51:07I'll go

00:51:072-0 and

00:51:08hopefully

00:51:08they can

00:51:09take that

00:51:09over and

00:51:09defend and

00:51:11then maybe

00:51:11nick one

00:51:12over there.

00:51:13Just with

00:51:14that point

00:51:15alone guys

00:51:15before we

00:51:16get to

00:51:17the English

00:51:18Premier League

00:51:18and a

00:51:19couple of

00:51:19things that

00:51:19are rather

00:51:20disturbing

00:51:21about football

00:51:22matches and

00:51:24social media

00:51:24these days

00:51:25but if you

00:51:27were trying to

00:51:27pick the top

00:51:28six and the

00:51:28bottom six

00:51:29right now

00:51:30it's really

00:51:30difficult because

00:51:31you're looking at

00:51:32teams and they're

00:51:33surprising you with

00:51:34results.

00:51:35I think

00:51:35Dundee United,

00:51:37Hibs and

00:51:37Harts have

00:51:38improved greatly.

00:51:39I can see

00:51:40them in the

00:51:40top, then

00:51:41you've got

00:51:41Rangers and

00:51:41Celtic.

00:51:42So then

00:51:43you're looking

00:51:44at one other

00:51:44team to

00:51:45hit that

00:51:46top six

00:51:46and it's

00:51:47either going

00:51:48to be an

00:51:48Aberdeen

00:51:48or a

00:51:49St Mirren

00:51:49and that's

00:51:50the big

00:51:51call isn't

00:51:51it?

00:51:52I think

00:51:52what will

00:51:53hinder Aberdeen

00:51:53is they're

00:51:54going to be

00:51:54involved in

00:51:55Europe group

00:51:55stage football.

00:51:56They'll be

00:51:57playing Thursday

00:51:57Sunday all

00:51:58the way to

00:51:58Christmas and

00:51:59they've

00:51:59started pulling

00:52:00the league and

00:52:00I think

00:52:01Aberdeen will

00:52:03really struggle

00:52:03with that.

00:52:04I think if

00:52:05you're looking

00:52:05for a wee

00:52:06upset it

00:52:06maybe be

00:52:07a St Mirren

00:52:07getting into

00:52:08the top six

00:52:09instead of an

00:52:10Aberdeen but

00:52:10there's a long

00:52:12way to go.

00:52:13A long way to

00:52:13go in this

00:52:13transfer.

00:52:15For the

00:52:18sixth spot

00:52:19with Aberdeen

00:52:20getting in

00:52:21there.

00:52:21You could be

00:52:22right Ruffy.

00:52:23It's worth a

00:52:24shout.

00:52:24What do you

00:52:24think of

00:52:24Ruffy's

00:52:25thoughts or

00:52:25what do you

00:52:26think overall

00:52:27when you're

00:52:28trying to pick

00:52:28a top six

00:52:29when you're

00:52:29looking at

00:52:29the signings

00:52:31that are made

00:52:31by the

00:52:32managers and

00:52:32there's still

00:52:33a fair bit of

00:52:34time to go

00:52:34before we hit

00:52:35the 1st of

00:52:36September and

00:52:36we see the

00:52:38players that are

00:52:38going to be

00:52:39brought in and

00:52:40of course it's a

00:52:41big big week.

00:52:42Celtic will

00:52:42want to take

00:52:43an advantage over

00:52:44to Kairat

00:52:44Almaty.

00:52:45And also

00:52:47Rangers.

00:52:48Huge, huge week.

00:52:49I was just

00:52:49looking at the

00:52:49fixtures for

00:52:51Rangers coming up.

00:52:52This is massive

00:52:53in August.

00:52:55August is huge

00:52:56because it's two

00:52:57games against

00:52:58Club Bruges,

00:52:59St Mirren at

00:53:00St Mirren Park

00:53:00and then Celtic

00:53:01at home and

00:53:03Hearts and

00:53:04Hibs at home.

00:53:05what a run.

00:53:07For me, this

00:53:10next four weeks

00:53:12could be season

00:53:14defining for

00:53:15Rangers.

00:53:16Yeah, I think

00:53:18that's why the

00:53:18Rangers managers

00:53:19try to bring in as

00:53:20many players as

00:53:20possible.

00:53:21He knows with all

00:53:22these games coming

00:53:23up there's going

00:53:24to be injuries,

00:53:24there might be

00:53:25some suspensions.

00:53:26So the more

00:53:27players he's got

00:53:28available the better.

00:53:29He's signed 10

00:53:30off it.

00:53:30Yeah, I know,

00:53:31but I think he'll

00:53:31keep trying to get

00:53:32people on loan.

00:53:34But I really do

00:53:36think that these

00:53:36games that you've

00:53:37talked about are

00:53:38going to be important

00:53:38for the whole

00:53:40Rangers this season.

00:53:40Have you got three

00:53:41games at home in

00:53:42a trot?

00:53:43Yeah.

00:53:44Celtic, Hearts and

00:53:45Hibs.

00:53:45Yeah.

00:53:46Hibs in the cup.

00:53:47But I'll tell you

00:53:48right now, Tam,

00:53:49it's massive and

00:53:51he's going to have

00:53:51to get these players

00:53:52in and ship out

00:53:53what I call the

00:53:54losers.

00:53:55Yep, and he's

00:53:56no Mars and

00:53:56Freda after the

00:53:57way they've started

00:53:57in the league, Peter.

00:53:58They've dropped

00:53:58four points already.

00:53:59So, they've got a

00:54:01really, really tough

00:54:01schedule coming up.

00:54:02Even after that,

00:54:03they're away to

00:54:03Livingston.

00:54:04So, they've got a

00:54:05real tough run of

00:54:06games and all he's

00:54:08got to do is win

00:54:08games.

00:54:09Winning games as a

00:54:10manager of the

00:54:10Rangers buys you

00:54:11time.

00:54:11And if he wins

00:54:12games and he buys

00:54:13himself time, then

00:54:14that's all he's

00:54:15looking for at the

00:54:15minute.

00:54:15But if he doesn't

00:54:16win games, that

00:54:17time will start to

00:54:18run out for him.

00:54:19Yeah.

00:54:19Okay, give us your

00:54:20thoughts on that as

00:54:21well.

00:54:21So many big games

00:54:22coming fast and

00:54:24furious and Scottish

00:54:25football as ever is

00:54:26the league that keeps

00:54:27on giving in the

00:54:28Premiership and

00:54:29Beyond.

00:54:30We'll keep right

00:54:31across all the

00:54:31stories, right across

00:54:32social media for you.

00:54:34One that saddened me,

00:54:35it was Liverpool 4,

00:54:36Bournemouth 2.

00:54:37Antoine Semenu was

00:54:39allegedly, at this

00:54:41point, abused.

00:54:43The police have made

00:54:44an arrest on a man

00:54:47who abused the

00:54:48Bournemouth player.

00:54:49which, Ruffy, I'm not

00:54:53surprised, people are

00:54:54aghast, people are

00:54:55looking at it and

00:54:56saying, you know,

00:54:57football has to do

00:54:58more.

00:54:59Football is not, the

00:55:02football authorities

00:55:03can, you know, with

00:55:05the police, arrest

00:55:06people.

00:55:07Society, the police,

00:55:09the government has to

00:55:10do more.

00:55:10There needs to be a

00:55:13campaign and an

00:55:15education programme

00:55:16for people to try and

00:55:18eliminate the thought

00:55:19process in their head

00:55:20when they think it's

00:55:21OK to abuse somebody

00:55:22for their race.

00:55:23That should come from

00:55:25the government, be

00:55:26stamped on by the

00:55:27police and also have

00:55:29an education programme.

00:55:30But unfortunately, what

00:55:32you have in certain

00:55:34quarters, especially

00:55:35with the groundswell

00:55:37of media platforms,

00:55:38social media platforms,

00:55:40is you have a

00:55:40groundswell of the

00:55:41most moronic people

00:55:43on earth have a

00:55:44platform to abuse

00:55:46people.

00:55:47And I don't know how

00:55:48you stamp it out.

00:55:49I think the police and

00:55:50the government have

00:55:51got a tough job on

00:55:52this.

00:55:53Yes, they make their

00:55:54way into football

00:55:54grounds.

00:55:55Yes, they then peddle

00:55:56their bile and abuse

00:55:58players.

00:55:58But what can the

00:55:59football clubs do?

00:56:00You can't suddenly

00:56:01check somebody for

00:56:02being a racist as he

00:56:03walks into a football

00:56:04ground and then

00:56:05utters all sorts of

00:56:07abuse towards a

00:56:08player.

00:56:08It's despicable.

00:56:09And we only have to

00:56:10look at Kyle Stout, a

00:56:11young girl who's

00:56:13growing up, going

00:56:13through her bodily

00:56:14transformation, loves

00:56:16playing football, plays

00:56:17for Kelly.

00:56:18They do a social media

00:56:19release and people

00:56:20abuse her just because

00:56:21of certain blemishes

00:56:23on her face.

00:56:24I just think it's

00:56:25despicable.

00:56:27It is.

00:56:28I think last year I

00:56:29remember reading

00:56:29something about the

00:56:30government are going

00:56:30to try and do

00:56:31something with the

00:56:32trolls that come on

00:56:33that they've got to

00:56:34put their own name

00:56:34instead of using some

00:56:37stupid name.

00:56:38And with that name

00:56:39you've got to have an

00:56:39address and log in.

00:56:41I think these people

00:56:42have to be identified.

00:56:43They shouldn't be

00:56:43hiding behind a name

00:56:45that you can never

00:56:46trace.

00:56:47But it's good that the

00:56:48police arrested that

00:56:48boy.

00:56:49I think that's immediate

00:56:50action.

00:56:51You know, we like to

00:56:52see that.

00:56:53And I think last year,

00:56:54I think the same

00:56:54happened up here.

00:56:55The police arrested

00:56:56somebody and well

00:56:57done to the company

00:56:58that the boy worked

00:56:59for.

00:56:59They sacked him

00:57:00immediately.

00:57:00Yeah.

00:57:01You know, these are

00:57:01the kind of things

00:57:02that people out there,

00:57:03if they're prepared to

00:57:04do that kind of stuff,

00:57:05they have to be prepared

00:57:06for the actions that's

00:57:07going to happen if they

00:57:08do it.

00:57:08But you've been

00:57:09happening on.

00:57:10It has to start at a

00:57:11young age, at school,

00:57:13advising kids, you know,

00:57:14this is how you should

00:57:15be brought up.

00:57:16This is how you should

00:57:17behave, particularly, you

00:57:18know, with your

00:57:19friends and everybody.

00:57:20So, lots of things

00:57:22to be done, but the

00:57:23arrest and punishing

00:57:24is a great step.

00:57:25And I think the young

00:57:26Kelly player scored a

00:57:27screamer and a 4-0 win

00:57:29for them in her game,

00:57:30so fair play to her

00:57:31for that.

00:57:32But why should they

00:57:33take down the social

00:57:34media posts to bow to

00:57:36these people who are

00:57:36morons, Tam?

00:57:38Yeah, I think I just

00:57:39try to protect her,

00:57:40Peter, you know, with

00:57:40the comments and,

00:57:41you know, some of the

00:57:42stuff with Scandless

00:57:42that was getting

00:57:43written about a young

00:57:43girl.

00:57:44And I'm really,

00:57:46really glad to see

00:57:47that everyone rallied

00:57:48around her.

00:57:48You know, some big

00:57:49names on social

00:57:50media and, you know,

00:57:50got behind her and

00:57:51she scored a great

00:57:52free kick.

00:57:53I've seen it today on

00:57:54Twitter, you know,

00:57:55and she scored a

00:57:55brilliant goal at the

00:57:56weekend and, listen,

00:57:58I think it's great

00:57:58that everybody's

00:57:59rallied around and

00:58:00Commandlip women's

00:58:01team will get a lot

00:58:02more publicity on the

00:58:03back of it as well,

00:58:03she will as well.

00:58:04So, a lot of people

00:58:05will be following her

00:58:06career, you know,

00:58:07and see how she does,

00:58:08but, yeah, you're

00:58:09right, you put a

00:58:10picture up, you put a

00:58:11video up of someone

00:58:13and you're getting

00:58:14slaughtered.

00:58:15It's bang out of

00:58:16order and I hope

00:58:17they find who it was

00:58:18and ban them from

00:58:21social media, but,

00:58:22you know, fair play

00:58:23to everyone for

00:58:23getting behind her

00:58:24and doing the

00:58:25right thing.

00:58:25Yeah, I thought

00:58:26Semenya, I thought

00:58:28he showed particular

00:58:29strength and went on

00:58:30and scored two goals

00:58:31and he's one of those

00:58:32players who was so

00:58:34calm, he could have

00:58:35been one that would

00:58:35have, you know,

00:58:37taken it out on

00:58:38everybody in the

00:58:38stadium when really

00:58:39it was only one

00:58:40individual.

00:58:41Yeah, I mean, again,

00:58:42it is the individual,

00:58:43you know, a lot of

00:58:44people are strong

00:58:45enough inside, you

00:58:46know, to put that to

00:58:48the backbone and

00:58:48concentrate on what

00:58:49they're doing, but

00:58:50there must be much,

00:58:51much more people out

00:58:52there who can't

00:58:53handle that kind of

00:58:54scenario and they're

00:58:55the ones that are

00:58:55getting punished.

00:58:56Yeah, absolutely, I

00:58:57didn't see anything

00:58:58great from the start

00:58:59of the Premier League

00:59:00at the weekend, guys.

00:59:01I mean, I love

00:59:02Scottish football and

00:59:03I think we all do,

00:59:05but I didn't see

00:59:06anything unbelievably

00:59:07fantastic.

00:59:08Man City just

00:59:08strolled as usual.

00:59:10Yeah, Liverpool

00:59:11obviously look good

00:59:12going forward, I

00:59:13think defensively

00:59:13look a wee bit

00:59:14suspect at the

00:59:14minute, but yeah,

00:59:16I watched the

00:59:16Man United Arsenal

00:59:17game yesterday,

00:59:18thought Man United

00:59:18played well,

00:59:19probably a wee bit

00:59:20unfortunate to lose

00:59:21the game, Chelsea

00:59:21game is rotten,

00:59:23but I've always

00:59:24said to you, I

00:59:25prefer to watch

01:00:20I have to say,

01:00:21yeah, absolutely

01:00:21Ruffy, that's one

01:00:22thing about you.

01:00:24Last year, can you

01:00:25remember where we

01:00:25were?

01:00:26Edinburgh.

01:00:27Ben were down in

01:00:29Leith.

01:00:30Hibsland for a

01:00:31thousand pounds.

01:00:31Runner, wasn't

01:00:31she?

01:00:32She was a runner?

01:00:32Yes, she was a

01:00:33runner and a smile on

01:00:34her face because

01:00:35Ruffy was her hero.

01:00:36So it was great to

01:00:37see an 84-year-old

01:00:39absolutely delighted to

01:00:40see somebody that had

01:00:41seen Ruffy play.

01:00:43Holy kidding, she was

01:00:44quite young.

01:00:44Unfortunately, she's

01:00:45still with her husband

01:00:45so your luck was

01:00:46it.

01:00:47Yeah, her dad and

01:00:48everybody was there,

01:00:49it was fantastic and

01:00:50her face was lit up.

01:00:52Ruffy handing over a

01:00:53thousand pounds in

01:00:55Edinburgh.

01:00:56Hope she never counted

01:00:56it till we left.

01:00:57Oh, exactly.

01:00:58And I was going to

01:01:00say, the last time he

01:01:03handed over a thousand

01:01:04pounds was in the

01:01:05Bermuda Triangle in

01:01:06Edinburgh.
