00:30We need to be at our very best to get anything from the game. Obviously we've got an influence
00:44on what the Rangers players do and how they perform, so hopefully what we've worked on
00:48all weekend training is going to pay off today.
00:51I think we've been really clear with the players. I think they're in agreement, very much part
00:54of the process, and now they have to trust each other and trust the work. Give a performance
00:57of energy, a performance that looks like us, a dominant performance, create some chances
01:02and all the fans want to see their team winning and playing well.
01:06The mood music around the Rangers manager Russell Martin remains bleak. Despite the League Cup
01:10victory over Hibbs last weekend, there was another defeat midweek, this time in Europe
01:15against Genk. Still without a victory in the Premiership this season, Rangers almost unbelievably
01:21second bottom of the table ahead of this visit to Livingston.
01:25You should become a Livingston expecting a win, and nobody knows what's going to happen.
01:28Getting beat now has just become, I would say, the norm to us.
01:32We've just got to start winning games and start to play better because there ain't any magic
01:36won.
01:36And I think fans that are getting to a stage where they can't handle it anymore.
01:41Victory for Livingston would see them go level with Hibbs, Thunder United and Motherwell.
01:45Well, plenty at stake for both sides.
01:49Is today the day that Russell Martin wins a league game, or is today the day his position
01:55becomes untenable?
01:57Defeat by Genk on Thursday has further turned the heat up on the beleaguered Ibrox boss as
02:03he takes his team to West Lothian and a Livingston side that have their own issues, having not
02:08won since beating Falkirk on week two, and who were controversially, at least in the eyes
02:13of their manager, edged out by Dundee last time out.
02:17There's a first start for on-loan Manchester City midfielder Mamadou Susoho, with Winter
02:23and May also coming into the side.
02:25Blaney, Yangi and Muirhead drop out of the team that started last week at Denz, as Livy
02:30look for a first win over Rangers, since Dolly Menga scored the only goal seven years ago.
02:36After his red card on Thursday, Mohamed Diamandes dropped to the bench for this one, with Barron
02:41replacing him, elsewhere Antman's in for Muir and Mijovski for Cermiti, a reminder that
02:47this is Rangers' worst start to a league season since 1978, as they search for their first
02:52Premiership victory of the campaign.
02:57He appears relatively relaxed.
02:59He's got over the top here for Stevie May, he's got the running power, he's in here, and
03:17he forces the first save of the match, and it's from Jack Butland.
03:21Well, that's an encouraging sign for Livingston.
03:27Perhaps not got the pace of old Stevie May, but he's a workhorse.
03:37Butland to the rescue.
03:41May got in behind.
03:42Decent start to the season for Livingston, albeit a lack of wins will have annoyed David
03:54Martindale recently.
04:00Livingston has only two victories over Rangers coming in 2018, previously was back in 2002.
04:09Hits the deck and he's having a little look at John Beaton.
04:29Winter.
04:33May, picking up the second ball.
04:35It's behind Pittman, Smith encouraged to shoot, and it was off target, but it was worth the effort.
04:44Butland had it covered, knew where it was going.
04:47It's a couple of attempts in the opening five or six minutes here for Livy.
04:56This is what JD Gassama was wanting as a penalty.
05:05Let's come through for Mijovski, who's got a goal side.
05:15He fluffs his lines.
05:20Well, it's an awful miss from Mijovski.
05:25Right on the line there, but with the goal in front of him, he's got to be at the very least getting that on target.
05:32It looks even worse from that angle.
05:42Mijovski now to Gassama.
05:45It's a brilliant finish.
05:46How often has James Tavernier bailed this club out along the way in his long career at Ibrox?
05:55A great ball by Raskan initially.
05:56Gassama taking on Finlayson.
06:05Look like the chance had gone, Antman did well to rescue, and then that's a brilliant finish.
06:12Right out of the top drawer from Tavernier.
06:15Close range yet, we need to contort his body.
06:16And it's a fabulous dispatch from the Scarepark.
06:25Eases a little bit of the pressure.
06:26There's lots more to do.
06:30Here's Antman for Baron corner.
06:31Here's Antman for Baron corner.
06:33This is for the Rangers fans a lot.
06:34That's for the Rangers fans a lot.
06:35Here's Antman for Baron corner.
06:36This is for the Rangers fans a lot.
06:37It's for the Rangers fans a lot.
06:38I want their team to turn the screw.
06:39Here's Antman for Baron corner.
06:45This is for the Rangers fans I want their team to turn the screw.
06:52Here's Antman for Baron corner.
06:58This is for the Rangers fans a lot.
07:03I want their team to turn the screw.
07:10From Tavernier.
07:15The ref didn't like the challenge by Tate.
07:20Little wag of the finger from John Beaton.
07:24And was it a little tug there by May on Raskan?
07:30Certainly got a fistful of his jersey.
07:34And John Beaton's been called across for an on-field review.
07:39You're always taking a chance if you decide to hold on to your opponent's shirt in that fashion.
07:48Then you're asking for trouble.
07:50You're asking the officials to make a decision.
07:52And that decision has been made now.
07:56John Beaton awards Rangers the spot kick.
08:00A little celebration from Raskan.
08:02A shake of the head from Martindale.
08:05In what had been a tight game four minutes ago.
08:10Oh, it's kept out by Priyar.
08:20Well, how crucial a moment is that going to be?
08:22Not just today, but in Rangers season.
08:26If Libby come back into this.
08:28An opportunity to make it 2-0.
08:30Spurned by Tavernier.
08:32Asgard.
08:33Asgard.
08:34Asgard again.
08:35Here goes Gisama.
08:36Mijovski's in the middle.
08:37Others arriving.
08:38Including Conor Barron.
08:39And Priyard as well.
08:40Not renowned for his goal scoring.
08:41Exploits is Conor Barron.
08:42Caught that first time.
08:43Priyard to make a smart stop.
08:44And Priyard as well.
08:45Not renowned for his goal scoring.
08:46Exploits is Conor Barron.
08:47Caught that first time.
08:48Priyard to make a smart stop.
08:49Good link up between Mijovski and Barron.
08:50They were of course both at Aberdeen together.
08:51Know each other's game pretty well as a result.
08:52It's Ant-Man.
08:53It's Gisama.
08:54Still alive here.
08:55Mijovski.
08:56Tavernier.
09:07Raskin.
09:09They're queuing up to have a go at that one.
09:18Miofsky, Tavernier, Raskan, and we're queuing up to have a go at that one, we'll be hanging
09:31on a bit, crucial it's worst for them, 1-0 at the break, oh and Prior prevents it being
09:41two there, some important saves in this first half, he's done well, when called upon this
09:51afternoon, this is Jérôme Prior, see there was lashed right at him, but for him this game
10:03is probably already a dead duck for Livy, we've got a bit more defending to do here, another
10:10free kick this time on the right, and again from Tavernier, it's another useful delivery,
10:21it's wound up in the net, and there's no flag, and Derek Cornelius touches home his first
10:29Rangers goal, fantastic ball in by Tavernier, Cornelius is certainly not offside, there was
10:38at least one marginal there, now it's whether they got a touch on to it initially, may well
10:48come off his arm as well, we'll wait and see, Livingston facing a 2-0 deficit and a long way
11:00back if this goal stands, John Beaton will be telling us, and it looks as though the goal is ruled out for the handball,
11:10it stays 1-0, the Livingston are running out of lives here,
11:16it stays 1-0, the Livingston are running out of lives here,
11:20Silla with the long ball, going to get May in behind, oh he has done,
11:30May hits the ground, was there enough contact, doesn't matter anyway because he's offside,
11:38well be it, that looks pretty tight, through he went, the bounce off the artificial surface didn't
11:48exactly help Stevie May there, John Souter did enough, Russell Martin facing the two newly promoted
11:58sides either, side of their trip to Austria, Falkirk to come next week,
12:08chance here for Livy perhaps,
12:16nice little back heel, and the save from Butland to deny May, best chance of the game for Livy,
12:26it's come from Novia really, it's a lovely little flick, Stevie May's in,
12:30Jack Butland makes an excellent stop,
12:36Wilson helps it through,
12:44still not away,
12:48Suhoho then back the way to Smith,
12:52his efforts blocked, they claim handball,
13:00Tate, Suhoho,
13:10turned out by Meghoma,
13:12made to Montgomery,
13:18it's not the worst ball,
13:20and it's an equaliser,
13:22Sila nods it home,
13:26and Livy are back on terms,
13:30and Livy are back on terms,
13:40Russell Martin screws his face up,
13:42Mo Sila has just given him more problems,
13:44fabulous ball in by Montgomery,
13:46it's too easy from a Rangers point of view,
13:50but there you go,
13:58between the defenders,
14:00finds the net,
14:02and it's Livy one, Rangers one,
14:04and it is game on again in West Lothian,
14:08Rangers just cannot keep clean sheets,
14:10not in the league at any rate,
14:12and that, in an instant,
14:14has turned the Rangers supporters'
14:16angst back towards their manager.
14:18And the referee sees nothing wrong with that,
14:32and Livy could be in here,
14:34albeit skied by McLennan.
14:36by McLennan.
14:40He couldn't resist,
14:42former Aberdeen man.
14:54Suter.
14:56That's been misjudged by Wilson,
14:58here's Jermiti.
15:02Still alive for Rangers,
15:08Raskan.
15:10It's Moore,
15:12it's right at Priyark.
15:20Could be a pretty open,
15:22stoppage time period this.
15:24It's going to be a Rangers corner.
15:26It's going to be a Rangers corner.
15:32Livy looking to hold out here.
15:34In from Tavernier again.
15:36Brilliantly defended by Sila.
15:40Here's Ghassama.
15:42Managed to get some space.
15:48That's not exactly what Kiri intended.
15:52Deeper delivery this time.
16:00And Livy cannot get out.
16:04Aarons.
16:06Second chance.
16:08Here's Rothwell.
16:10It's a good ball!
16:12It's tipped over by Priyark from Mijovski.
16:18Made some brilliant saves this season.
16:20Here's Jerome Priyark.
16:22And this afternoon's been no exception.
16:24It's fabulous.
16:26Mijovski thought he'd won it.
16:32Tavernier again.
16:34Again, it's away by Sila.
16:36Fresh air from Moore.
16:44Rangers free kick.
16:46In from Tavernier.
16:56Here's Moore.
16:58Blocked by Wilson.
17:00Yet another Rangers corner.
17:04Livia defended these pretty well.
17:10His needs urgent.
17:12It's headed down into the six yard area.
17:16And it's Aarons.
17:18Who might just dispaired his manager in the sack.
17:20Look what it means to him.
17:24Max Aarons in from the cold off the bench.
17:26And with what will surely be the winning goal for Rangers.
17:30And a first league win of the season.
17:32They're still screaming for Martin to be sacked amidst the joy of that goal from Aarons.
17:46And a first league win of the season.
17:51They're still screaming for Martin to be sacked amidst the joy of that goal from Aarons.
18:01Which tells you everything you need to know.
18:09And despite that celebration, has it gone too far already?
18:16Is he beyond redemption?
18:23With an added time, an added time here.
18:25Well into it now.
18:29And that is it.
18:30It is a victory for Rangers.
18:32It is a first league victory for them this season.
18:35A first league victory for Russell Martin.
18:38Who's been subjected to all kinds of chanting against him in that second half.
18:44All kinds of abuse.
18:47Even when Aarons won the match.
18:50With that stoppage time, Cole.
18:54As they now set their sights on a trip to Austria at Sturm Graz in the Europa League.
18:58They finished at Ammonville.
19:02Livingston 1, Rangers 2.
19:04I'm really proud of the players.
19:07We deserve to win.
19:08I think the first half is the best we've been.
19:10For sure.
19:11Some of the football we've played, the chances created.
19:12We should score more goals.
19:14And the game should be done.
19:15But it's not.
19:16So then the attention creeps in.
19:18We give away a really poor goal.
19:20Because we lost control of the game early on in the second half.
19:22And couldn't quite grip it back.
19:24But they are fighting and working so hard for each other.
19:26For us as a coach and staff.
19:28And I'm proud of them.
19:28So I think we've got what we deserved in the end.
19:31Yeah, I think the last gasp goal backs up what you say there.
19:35That the worst fight, the worst spirit.
19:37And the players were not giving that up until the end.
19:39Yeah, they're not lacking in that.
19:40That's been building.
19:41I said to you before the game.
19:42I feel like it's building all the time.
19:43The last three weeks in particular.
19:45They feel so together.
19:47Like they want to work so hard.
19:48And the first half showed that.
19:49They're so willing to do what we need to do.
19:51The gap between the first half and the second half is too big.
19:53So we need to learn from that.
19:55But I really enjoyed some of that in the first half.
19:57And then I loved the character and spirit in the second half.
19:59I'm proud of the boys that played in there.
20:00But I'm proud of the group.
20:01Because I think it's probably one of our better performances.
20:06We've had against Rangers in probably the last seven years.
20:09And I think we can feel a little bit hard done.
20:12But you come away from that with nothing.
20:13And that's the disappointing one.
20:15Last week we only had ourselves to blame.
20:17And VAR.
20:18But this week I think it was a majority of the performance was there.
20:25Against a good side.
20:26I'm not going to sit here and say they're not a good side.
20:28They are a good side.
20:30Happens to disappoint.
20:31In fact I feel for the players today.
20:32I'm proud of the players but I feel for them.
20:34Believe it or not this job means the world to all of us that are here.
20:37So we want to win.
20:39I'm just so happy for the players today.
20:41I'm so happy for them because they really stuck at it.
20:43And they're growing all the time.
20:44And now we have to make sure we do it more consistently.
20:46Is it too dramatic to suggest that Max Aarons may well have kept you in a job with that goal?
20:51I don't know.
20:52I haven't felt like that at all.
20:53So I can't answer that question because it's not relevant.
20:59He scored and I'm in a job so we're good.
21:00So Rangers get their first Premiership win of the season at the sixth attempt.
21:06I'm joined by Billy Dodds.
21:07Billy, what does it say about where Rangers are at right now when they get the winning goal
21:12but the Rangers fans are still calling for the manager to go?
21:17I think it's a surreal feeling.
21:20It had that all day.
21:21First half, Rangers really good.
21:23And then obviously they get themselves in a bit of trouble.
21:26They don't get the second goal to kill it off.
21:29And then suddenly Livingston score.
21:32And then Rangers get the winner right at death.
21:35And then there's surreal moments when the chance start coming straight away to Russell Martin.
21:39So very surprised at that after Rangers scoring the winner, Jonathan.
21:42How big a moment do you think it could be?
21:44Max Ahrens obviously getting the winner in stoppage time.
21:47His first involvement for Rangers since getting sent off against Club Bruges.
21:51It does feel like a big moment.
21:53Nice moment for him.
21:55Going and celebrating with the fans.
21:56He's had a tough time since he's come here.
21:58Livingston will be disappointed with the marking.
22:00They just let him run.
22:01And then Danny Wilson was closest to him.
22:04I think he was Martin John Sutton.
22:06And then he gets a good strike to hit at home.
22:08So a good moment for Max Ahrens.
22:10And it's been tough since he's come here.
22:12But that will give him a big boost.
22:14In terms of Rangers' end to the match.
22:16What did you make of it, Billy?
22:17Because there was a lot of changes.
22:20A bit of a change to the formations as well.
22:24Yeah.
22:24How did you sum that up?
22:26Well, do you know what?
22:28Russell Martin takes a bit of stick for trying to keep it the same.
22:31But he did.
22:32He changed it.
22:33And he went a 4-4-2 with a little imbalance.
22:35And then suddenly he changes to a back three.
22:38And they get the winner.
22:38So you can't argue with that.
22:40So tactically, people, you'd have to say, he got it spot on.
22:44Because he tried to go and win the game once Livingston forced himself back into it.
22:48Did Livingston, for you, deserve something out of this match today?
22:52And Mo Silla.
22:53I mean, what a performance from him.
22:55Usually plays in midfield, started at centre half, ended up playing right back.
22:59Obviously scored the goal as well.
23:00I thought their second half was decent.
23:03Their fight back was good, obviously getting the goal.
23:05Rangers really poor from the throw-in set-up, leaving 2v1.
23:10And Montgomery is allowed to cross.
23:11And great ball when then Silla gets the touch on it.
23:14So second half, I think Livingston deserves something out of it.
23:17First half, Rangers could have been out of sight.
23:19But that's the way it's been going for Rangers, Jonathan.
23:22They looked as if they had a notch up today once they get their goal.
23:27A definite confidence boost.
23:30And you could see that the pace of the passing was much better.
23:33And they could have scored a whole lot more.
23:36Rangers had their chances to obviously put this game out of sight in the first half.
23:41And they didn't take them.
23:41In terms of the actual moments themselves, definite penalty for the tug on Raskin?
23:47Without a doubt.
23:48Stevie May had a little panic in the first corner of the game.
23:51The inswinger.
23:52And he slipped.
23:52And you know Raskin's making that front post run.
23:56And then for the penalty, he's panicked because Raskin's got in front of him.
23:59So no doubt about the penalty.
24:01But Prior and goals had a few good saves to keep Livingston in at first half.
24:06Absolutely.
24:06And in terms of the Cornelius disallowed goal, we've looked at it a few times.
24:11Handball.
24:12Maybe a hint of offside as well?
24:13A little hint of offside.
24:14But I think they've obviously dealt with the handball first.
24:16It's by his side.
24:17You see Martin Boyle another week there for Hibs when it just touches his hand.
24:21When it touches your hand and there's a goal and it results in a goal, they've got to chop off.
24:26And you can see it hit Cornelius' right arm by his side to control the ball before he thumped it home.
24:31These are bizarre times for Rangers.
24:33We've talked about how surreal it is that the Rangers fans are saying what they're saying.
24:38And they're still winning this match today, Billy.
24:40What does it say about Rangers as well that James Tavernier, the right-back, is still such a huge player, especially when it comes to goal scoring?
24:49I think since he's found himself out of the team, I think Tavernier's handled it ever so well.
24:53Getting back in, chipmunk with assists and goals still.
24:57Even before, when he was left out of the team, he was scoring goals.
25:00He'll never change.
25:01That's the way he operates.
25:02People know he can be better defensively, but he contributes so much to the team and it was a vital first goal.
25:07He played a lot, inverted today, got himself in the box for the goal and it was a tidy finish, wasn't it?
25:12It certainly was.
25:13A lot to like.
25:14You've already mentioned him, Jerome Prier in the Livy goal.
25:18A lot of good moments today.
25:19Not for the first time this season.
25:21He's been hugely impressive, hasn't he?
25:23I like him.
25:23I like him.
25:24He punches a lot when he could maybe catch, but some of his saves are fantastic, the lad.
25:28You see the one, I think it was Conor Barron that hit the strike and he sees it late and actually gets a glove on it and holds it.
25:35The point blank stop, I think it was from my off-gear suitor at that back post area.
25:39They were both in there and it's a brilliant reaction save.
25:42And then the penalty just stands strong because Tavernier struck it well, didn't get it away far enough from him,
25:48but it's a tidy block and gets his full body to get it away.
25:52So he had a great day.
25:53He had one save in the second half where he touched it over the crossbar when you thought Livingston were going to survive.
25:58Next up for Rangers is Sturmgratz in Europe.
26:02The focus never seems to really shift from Russell Martin at this moment in time, Billy.
26:06He's talking about how he hopes that this can be the catalyst.
26:11From what you saw today, were there enough positives that really should get the Rangers fans up his back?
26:19I think Russell will be pointing out the first half, how well they played.
26:23They got the goal.
26:24They really looked as if they could get three or four, finish the game off.
26:27It's how you handle it mentally after that when you lose a goal.
26:30And to be fair, they kept going at it and they got their winner.
26:33You would think it would be the turning point.
26:35I hope it's the turning point, but I ain't so sure with the pressure that's on him from the stands.
26:40Billy, for the moment, thank you very much.
26:42Indeed, a hugely eventful day here in Livingston.
26:46It was a very eventful Saturday as well.
26:49Milne once more.
26:59Cesaridis.
27:00Cesaridis goes in again.
27:02Beats two.
27:03Cesaridis opens up.
27:05Sensational.
27:06Absolutely sensational.
27:09Alexandros.
27:10Cesaridis.
27:12What a stunner.
27:13Well, when he was signed, people shrugged and said, well, we've seen wingers come in before.
27:21Not seen too many do that.
27:23Got away from Adams.
27:25Then from Spencer.
27:26Looked up exactly where he was.
27:31Claudio Braggart.
27:34Shanklin.
27:35Milne on the overlap.
27:36Into the middle.
27:37It goes.
27:37Great save.
27:40Bain did well.
27:42Cesaridis was stretching out once more.
27:51That's been given away.
27:53Cartwright.
27:53Shanklin.
27:55Absolutely ruthless.
27:58Goal number 75 in his heart's career.
28:03And it was all down to Lawrence Shanklin himself.
28:05Well, there was pressure played inside.
28:10Cartwright dwelled.
28:11And Shanklin said, I'll take it.
28:12And I'll drill it past Scott Bain.
28:15Who moments before had pulled off a brilliant save.
28:18But beaten by the power of Shanklin.
28:24Cesaridis.
28:24Head up.
28:25In.
28:26Craig Halkett.
28:29It's the third of the season for the Hearts defender.
28:33And it's Hearts third of the afternoon.
28:34Big smiles all round at Tynecastle.
28:37There's three points are virtually guaranteed now.
28:41Just pulled away from Adams.
28:44And guided it into the top corner.
28:46Brilliant delivery.
28:48Better header.
28:49That's three.
28:50Falkirk now.
28:50That's a ball over the top for Maida.
29:02Iheanacho's waiting in the middle.
29:04Here.
29:07He crashes it off the top of Salinger's bar.
29:12Well, Hibbs were threatening pretty much for the first time in the game just before this.
29:16It's a lovely deft ball over the top there for Maida.
29:20And Iheanacho is waiting to pounce.
29:24To Nick T.
29:24It's been an excellent start to life.
29:27At Celtic Park.
29:28It's his first home appearance as it is for a couple of his teammates.
29:33Maida looking to get it back from Iheanacho.
29:40It's Rolston's ball.
29:41And then Sarrachi.
29:48Clips just about the same bit of crossbar that Iheanacho hit earlier.
29:54Good hit this by the Uruguay International.
30:03Barlazar's free kick.
30:05Headed into the danger area.
30:07O'Hara and O'Hara and Campbell were both in the six-yard area.
30:15It's kind of left here by Carter Vickers.
30:18He's a little bit fortunate.
30:23Tonekhti is trying to torment Chris Cadden.
30:28Sarrachi for MacGregor.
30:32He's managed to force it through eventually.
30:34And Iheanacho finds the net.
30:36Though the flag's up.
30:38Now he knows it.
30:39I just wonder how tight this is.
30:41The VAR is Stephen McLean.
30:43Drawing the lines.
30:45Iheanacho just offside.
30:47So the on-field decision stands.
30:53Here's Scales.
30:55Kenny's there again.
30:57And Salinger puts it behind for the corner.
31:00Looked like a fairly tame header.
31:04Initially down into the ground.
31:05Took the sting out of it.
31:10The attacker dropping deep to it.
31:14Trying to assist with the build-up play.
31:17Header picked off by Robertson.
31:20As Dundee come forward.
31:21The ball might break for Drew Wright who goes for goal.
31:24Strong hands from Shemal George.
31:31Denies Dundee the opener.
31:33Header will flipped on by Matindron.
31:44Here's Ayunga who goes for goal.
31:47And it was well saved by John McCracken.
31:51Huge credit.
31:52It has to go to the Dundee goalkeeper.
31:54That was a fantastic save.
31:55And it's that flick on.
31:59And then the touch and the effort.
32:01That goal.
32:04Luke Graham loses out.
32:07Now here come the home side.
32:09Ball from Odowo.
32:12Onto Ayunga.
32:15Sets it for Roland Odowo to go for goal.
32:17And it wasn't too far away from the Irishman.
32:25Raising the hand in an acknowledgement.
32:28After the good play from Ayunga.
32:32Donnelly.
32:34Faced John.
32:35Cushioned header into Roland Odowo.
32:37Who's trying to weave his way through.
32:38Sets it back.
32:40And submitted.
32:40Take the lead.
32:42It's Killian Phillips.
32:46Blowing kisses.
32:46To the away fans.
32:48And now heading over to knee slides.
32:51After he.
32:52Has fired St Mirren in front here.
32:54It's excellent midfield play.
32:56From Killian Phillips.
32:57Who.
32:58Was in the right place at the right time.
33:00Who gets his first Premiership goal of the season.
33:05Astley to.
33:06Hurl this one in.
33:10The header from.
33:11Richardson who.
33:13Chases after it.
33:14It's a slack touch.
33:17And now.
33:18St Mirren can.
33:19Drive forward.
33:21It's Killian Phillips.
33:22Bustling through.
33:23Going for goal.
33:24And the strike.
33:28Just drifting off target.
33:31He did so well there.
33:32Killian Phillips.
33:33Covered so much ground to.
33:35Get the shot away.
33:36But just.
33:37Probably a case of tired legs in the end.
33:39Robbie Dees.
33:44Robbie Dees.
33:47Getting it forward now to Kilty.
33:51Just about holds on to the ball.
33:55Slips it to Watson.
33:56Bruce Anderson with a half chance.
33:59Brilliant finish.
34:00Bruce Anderson.
34:01Lasered that.
34:03Into the bottom corner.
34:05His first goal.
34:06This league campaign.
34:08Well like his celebration.
34:09That's an arrow into the bottom corner.
34:12Brilliant.
34:15The Killie fans happy with what they've seen so far.
34:19They've got a dreadful away record.
34:22Just one win in the last 15.
34:23As Thompson floats it to the back.
34:25Robbie Dees with the header.
34:26Looks like Kucharenko's made the save.
34:28Kilmarnock players appealing.
34:30And they've got the goal.
34:31They celebrate belatedly.
34:35But Ross Hardy.
34:37Has awarded.
34:39That Robbie Dees header.
34:40As a second Kilmarnock goal.
34:44Let's have another look at this.
34:46It was Dom Thompson with the ball in.
34:49Dees with the header.
34:50Just got a bit of space.
34:51And that certainly looks.
34:53Like it's gone over the line.
34:55Kucharenko clawing it away.
34:56But it's too little too late.
34:58Kamara lovely touch.
35:03And a lovely pass.
35:04And a lovely one too.
35:05This is brilliant from United.
35:07They play it to Luka Stevenson in the box.
35:09There's numbers there.
35:10Brilliant save Stryak.
35:12Well that was brilliant from United.
35:14A flowing move.
35:16But it doesn't end in a goal for it.
35:18Nikolai Muller.
35:19He's just come on as a sub.
35:20The back heel flick.
35:22But Stryak equal to it.
35:23Well it's a desperate long ball forward now by Dundee United.
35:30Flicked on.
35:31Stevenson going for it.
35:32He's clattered by Stryak.
35:34And that's a penalty.
35:35Well we could have a tense finale at Tanadice.
35:38A big mistake from Max Stryak.
35:42And it just opens the door for a United comeback.
35:45A moment of madness.
35:49But will it cost Kilmarnock?
35:50Zach Sapsford.
35:55Up against Stryak.
35:58Saved!
36:00Stryak makes himself the hero.
36:04Making immediate amends.
36:11Daniels holding it up.
36:13Plays it round the corner for McKenzie.
36:15Who's sprinting towards the United box.
36:17Marley Watkins in acres of space.
36:19He had to score.
36:22It was far too easy for Kucherenko.
36:25It should be 3-0.
36:26It should be 3 points.
36:28It should be anyway.
36:30A lot of expectation.
36:33On the back of both sets of players.
36:35As Guillaume Fethi teases this one.
36:36And Nisbet's header.
36:38Tipped over the crossbar.
36:39By Ward.
36:40And that is the kind of start the Aberdeen supporters were looking for.
36:45Can't one of the two teams take control?
36:49Charles Cook.
36:51Tees up Saeed.
36:52Teased in.
36:53Stamatolopoulos!
36:54Big save, Mitov.
36:56Aberdeen complained to the referee.
36:57But Dimitar Mitov didn't wait.
37:01He was out to close down.
37:04What for Motherwell.
37:06There's a way in here.
37:07First of Matolopoulos.
37:09Kutrumbis.
37:11Mitov!
37:12Can't get a hand to it.
37:13Well not strong enough.
37:16And Johnny Kutrumbis.
37:19Looks to be the Motherwell hero.
37:23Jens Bertolasco's side.
37:25On course for 3 points.
37:27And Johnny Kutrumbis has his first Motherwell goal.
37:31And what a way to get it.
37:33There's a bit of a spin on the ball.
37:34But the goalkeeper has got to be doing better there.
37:38There's plenty of space to go for a second.
37:43Devlin gets a foot to it.
37:47And looks towards the referee to make a decision.
37:50There's no penalty.
37:57There is contact but the left foot
38:00stands on the ground.
38:03And the referee makes the decision.
38:08But VAR is having a look.
38:13Dorrington making the challenge.
38:17And the penalty is now awarded.
38:21Late late drama at Fur Park.
38:26Up steps.
38:27Stamatolopoulos.
38:29And scores.
38:31Motherwell will claim their first victory
38:33in the Scottish Premiership this season.
38:36But much of the attention
38:38will be towards the Aberdeen boss.
38:42Jimmy Tallinn said
38:43the club were at rock bottom
38:45at Tanadice on Tuesday night.
38:48Well, where are they now?
38:49So, a sickening end for Aberdeen
38:53at Fur Park.
38:55And the pressure continues to build
38:56on manager Jimmy Tallinn.
38:58Billy, were there enough positives
39:00from an Aberdeen point of view?
39:03Do you feel that Jimmy Tallinn
39:05can stay in post?
39:07Oh, I think so.
39:09I don't think
39:10he's there yet
39:11where it's come that time
39:13when you think about him losing his job.
39:15But I think with the performance yesterday
39:17I think it will give
39:18some Aberdeen fans
39:20plenty of hope to hang on to.
39:21I thought there was a lot of good things.
39:22I thought they could have won the game.
39:23But when it's not going for you
39:25you end up losing it
39:26with the two late goals.
39:27The Dons fans aren't happy though, are they?
39:29They're not happy
39:30because they're not scoring goals
39:31and they're not winning games.
39:32But if you go there
39:33to Motherwell yesterday
39:34and you see the team
39:36hardly having a shot at goal
39:37and not playing well
39:38then I think that makes their mind up.
39:40But yesterday
39:40they were actually well in the game
39:42and contributed
39:43and could have won it, Jonas.
39:45At the other end of the table
39:46this Hearts bandwagon continues.
39:49It's hugely exciting
39:51especially for all jambos watching
39:53but a bit of a breath of fresh air
39:55in terms of Scottish football
39:56as they've pulled two points clear
39:57at the top of the table.
39:58Derek McInnes saying
39:59they haven't earned the right
40:00to be considered title contenders yet.
40:03A bit boring from Derek
40:04to try and play it down.
40:05But I'm guessing
40:06you're probably going to do the same actually.
40:08I think I'm going to turn it
40:09to Derek McInnes
40:10and say
40:11what you would say as a manager
40:12just settle down
40:13don't get carried away.
40:14But he's got his team
40:16in a good place
40:16hasn't he?
40:17I mean
40:174-4-2
40:19the counter-attack to Ibrox
40:22the other week there
40:22got two great goals
40:23and the three goals yesterday
40:25it shows you where they're at
40:26how well they were taken.
40:28I mean
40:28the Kezaridis strike
40:30the Shanklin finishing in
40:31Halketts was more straightforward
40:33but three clinical goals
40:35and it's put them in some place
40:37top of the league
40:37and flying.
40:38So critical
40:38and we have to be
40:40that's part of the job sometimes.
40:41Yes you are.
40:42Because I read this goal though
40:43I mean
40:43we should just revel in that
40:45I mean
40:45it's got to be a contender
40:46for goal this season
40:47it was a thing of beauty.
40:48It's just so positive
40:50it's the mindset
40:51from where the Harps players were
40:52from last season
40:53it's just
40:54at his man
40:55once he makes that
40:56couple of yards
40:57just bends it right
40:58in that top corner.
40:59And Celtic
41:00trail hearts in the table
41:01for the time being
41:02how surprised were you
41:03that they
41:03they drew a blank
41:05against Hibs?
41:06They had plenty of the game
41:07it's typical Celtic
41:08they'll pin you back
41:09but they missed
41:09their golden opportunities
41:10and they actual
41:11missed a couple
41:12Kenny when they come on
41:14missed a couple of really good chances
41:16so it just wasn't their day
41:17but they still played their part
41:19in terms of creating them
41:20they just didn't take them
41:21Hibs a lot better defensively
41:22because that's been
41:23their kind of Achilles heel
41:25this season
41:25so they'll be glad
41:27to keep the clean sheet
41:28St Myrne in third place
41:29right now
41:29after that victory
41:30against Dundee
41:30is Stephen Robinson
41:31the most underrated
41:32manager in Scotland?
41:33You would have to say
41:35he's underrated
41:35I'm not going to say
41:36the most underrated
41:37in Scotland
41:37but he is
41:39you know what you're getting
41:40from St Myrne
41:41a good finish
41:42from Killy and Phillips
41:43they never looked like
41:43any danger to lose
41:44in the game
41:45they're strong
41:46they can play football
41:47as well
41:48they play in the right areas
41:49and you're not surprised
41:50that they got the win
41:51Just finally Billy
41:53did you see
41:54Killy beating
41:55Dundee United
41:56at Tanadice yesterday
41:57did you see that coming?
41:58Not really because
41:59of their away form
42:00but
42:00they were sensational
42:02they really were
42:03they defended properly
42:05and their goals
42:06were brilliant
42:07Bruce Anderson
42:08a lot of one-touch
42:09passing
42:10and the build-up
42:11to it
42:11the lay-off
42:12and then the strike
42:12was phenomenal
42:13right into the far corner
42:14and then Big Robbie D
42:15is the next player of mine
42:16with a good header
42:18and it was over the line
42:19so
42:19both sides
42:20I'm sure Stuart Ketterwill
42:22was absolutely delighted
42:23clean sheet
42:24and creating plenty
42:25plenty of chances
