00:01:08the Puskas Arena in Budapest.
00:01:10Flights, accommodation, two tickets to
00:01:12the Champions League final in 2026.
00:01:14Good luck with that and
00:01:16I'm delighted to say as ever when we do this
00:01:18programme, our official charity partner
00:01:20is Maggie's Cancer Care
00:01:22www.maggies.org
00:01:24and you can find out the
00:01:26fantastic work that they
00:01:28do to help support families, friends
00:01:30and of course individuals
00:01:31affected by cancer.
00:01:34So, lots to talk about in the
00:01:36programme and no
00:01:38surprise we automatically go to
00:01:40the big talking point. Russell Martin
00:01:42sacked. Rangers just had a
00:01:44small mention of it on
00:01:46their website that he
00:01:47had indeed parted company
00:01:49with the club. While all transitional
00:01:52peers require some time, results have
00:01:54not met with the club's expectations.
00:01:56Assistant head coach Matt Gill
00:01:58and first team coach Mike Williamson
00:02:00also departing with
00:02:02Russell Martin and yet again it's one of
00:02:04those pictures you
00:02:06see of a manager with a
00:02:08backpack walking across the park
00:02:10and his fate wasn't too far away
00:02:12Ruffy. The bus was blocked
00:02:14in by supporters. He's taken away
00:02:16in a separate car. Not good
00:02:18viewing, you know, for people
00:02:20in a game. You don't like to see that happening
00:02:22to anybody and that kind of thing. But I
00:02:24think we all knew it was
00:02:25a matter of time, you know, if results
00:02:27hadn't improved it was going to happen
00:02:29and obviously at the weekend
00:02:30they decided but I think a wee bit of it
00:02:33had something to do with the midweek
00:02:34when the two boys were
00:02:36I think it would be the supporters
00:02:38the two boys upstairs
00:02:40Chief Executive and that, you know
00:02:41I've said that all along
00:02:43as soon as it becomes personal
00:02:45with them, you know, they find it
00:02:47very, very difficult to deal with
00:02:48and obviously the result there as well
00:02:50just tipped it over the edge.
00:02:51Alex looking at me as if to say
00:02:53why are you butting in? It's because
00:02:54he doesn't know their names
00:02:56and that's why I'm helping him out
00:02:57with it. It's a snigger in the corner
00:02:58Exactly, which is why I butt in, you know
00:03:00It took him a year and a half
00:03:02to understand who Alvin
00:03:03Morelos was
00:03:04Two boys
00:03:06Two boys
00:03:07and the big guy's just been sacked
00:03:08Yes
00:03:09But with that in mind
00:03:11Rangers can't be drawing 1-1
00:03:13with Falkert
00:03:14No disrespect to them
00:03:15and by the way
00:03:16Falkert gave them as good as they got
00:03:19Yeah, absolutely
00:03:19and I think his post-match comments as well
00:03:22about, you know, we're taking the game to Falkert
00:03:24I didn't quite see that
00:03:25I thought in the early exchanges
00:03:26of the first half
00:03:27I thought Falkert were brilliant
00:03:28the way they get after Rangers
00:03:30and then obviously
00:03:32Rangers got that goal
00:03:33against the run of play
00:03:34I would say
00:03:35and
00:03:35they obviously got the reaction
00:03:37in the second half
00:03:38and from
00:03:40John McGlynn must be delighted
00:03:41the way his boys went about that
00:03:42you know, because it was the
00:03:43they were on the front foot
00:03:45they looked as if they were
00:03:46going to go on and win the game
00:03:47and I think
00:03:49overall
00:03:51it was a
00:03:52performance by
00:03:53Rangers
00:03:54that we've come used to
00:03:56over the coming months
00:03:57and
00:03:58yeah
00:03:59I think he was struggling
00:04:00I don't necessarily believe
00:04:02that it was because
00:04:02that
00:04:03Kevin and Patrick
00:04:04were getting abused
00:04:04throughout the week
00:04:05I think
00:04:05the general feeling
00:04:07amongst the Rangers fans
00:04:08was that
00:04:09at the end of the road
00:04:10they were
00:04:10kind of
00:04:11apolactic
00:04:12you know
00:04:12you look at the bus
00:04:13being surrounded
00:04:14there was protests
00:04:15a couple of weeks ago
00:04:16and the results
00:04:17have just not been good enough
00:04:18a 30%
00:04:1829%
00:04:19win rate
00:04:20over the piece
00:04:21having spent
00:04:2220
00:04:2320 odd million pounds
00:04:25in the transfer market
00:04:26is nowhere near good enough
00:04:27and ultimately
00:04:28they've made the change
00:04:29interesting
00:04:30interesting thing
00:04:31going forward for me is
00:04:32do they have someone
00:04:34lined up for this
00:04:34because
00:04:35to go with the interim
00:04:36you know
00:04:37for me that would be
00:04:38I think right
00:04:38okay
00:04:39you've had plenty of time
00:04:40plenty of warnings
00:04:40throughout the course
00:04:42of his tenure
00:04:42and surely
00:04:44they must have someone
00:04:44lined up
00:04:45we're going to talk
00:04:46about the runners
00:04:46and riders
00:04:47what do you make
00:04:48of Russell Martin
00:04:49going right
00:04:50thing to do
00:04:50was the writing
00:04:51on the wall
00:04:51long before
00:04:52the bus
00:04:53ever trapped
00:04:54at Falkirk Stadium
00:04:56give us your thoughts
00:04:57on it
00:04:57we'd love to hear
00:04:58from you Rangers fans
00:04:59out there
00:04:59who would you like
00:05:01to see becoming
00:05:01the Rangers manager
00:05:02amazingly after the game
00:05:04you know
00:05:04you get to the point
00:05:05where you always
00:05:06come across managers
00:05:07who start just
00:05:08you know
00:05:09going through
00:05:09almost the bog
00:05:10standard answers
00:05:11waffle to you
00:05:12and I
00:05:13but nobody
00:05:14was listening
00:05:15this time
00:05:15even after the game
00:05:16after a 1-1 draw
00:05:18Russell Martin
00:05:19was asked
00:05:19if he still
00:05:20thought he was
00:05:20the man
00:05:21no no
00:05:21because I believe
00:05:22I can
00:05:22I believe I can
00:05:23so I knew
00:05:24it wasn't going
00:05:24to be easy
00:05:25I knew it
00:05:25probably wasn't
00:05:25going to be quick
00:05:26but we're at a club
00:05:26which
00:05:27patience is not
00:05:29a word
00:05:30that is used
00:05:31so no
00:05:32I really believe
00:05:33I can
00:05:33I believe that
00:05:34at every club
00:05:35I've been at
00:05:35and it's led me
00:05:36to here now
00:05:37so
00:05:37but I have to
00:05:38I have to
00:05:39I have to
00:05:40accept responsibility
00:05:41and we have to
00:05:41try and learn
00:05:41and really
00:05:42grow through
00:05:43these moments
00:05:43and understand why
00:05:44Five wins
00:05:47out of 17 matches
00:05:49it just wasn't
00:05:50good enough
00:05:51No it wasn't
00:05:52Peter
00:05:52and I think
00:05:53he's defeated
00:05:54you can just tell
00:05:54he's
00:05:55I think he knows
00:05:55it's coming
00:05:56he knows it's
00:05:56the end of the road
00:05:57for him
00:05:57at Rangers
00:05:58but the thing
00:05:59about watching
00:06:00Rangers is
00:06:00I don't get
00:06:01a clear identity
00:06:02about what they're
00:06:02trying to do
00:06:02it's not as if
00:06:03they're drawing games
00:06:04and they're unlucky
00:06:05and they're battling
00:06:05teams and you're
00:06:06thinking
00:06:06it's coming
00:06:07a win or two
00:06:09that will come
00:06:09they're focusing
00:06:10with the better
00:06:11team yesterday
00:06:11for long periods
00:06:12of that game
00:06:13so Rangers
00:06:14support's had enough
00:06:15and I thought
00:06:16after that full time
00:06:17I know it's been
00:06:18said a couple of
00:06:18weeks
00:06:18but the last couple
00:06:19of weeks
00:06:20that must be
00:06:21time up for the
00:06:21manager
00:06:22but I genuinely
00:06:22thought yesterday
00:06:23at the full time
00:06:23I thought
00:06:24it can't go on
00:06:25like I said Rangers
00:06:26you've got to
00:06:26make a change
00:06:27so
00:06:27I'm disappointed
00:06:29for Russell Martin
00:06:29that you don't
00:06:30want to see scenes
00:06:30going to your car
00:06:31getting a police
00:06:32escort and stuff
00:06:32like that
00:06:33he's a human being
00:06:34at the end of the
00:06:34day Peter
00:06:34and I'm sure
00:06:35him and his staff
00:06:36have tried their best
00:06:37in there
00:06:37at Ibrox
00:06:38but it's not worked
00:06:39have not been good
00:06:39enough
00:06:40but the players
00:06:41have got to take it
00:06:41as well
00:06:41I think the players
00:06:42have been very
00:06:43disappointing as well
00:06:44Peter
00:06:44Russell Martin's
00:06:45taking the hits
00:06:45off everyone
00:06:46he's the fall guy
00:06:48at the minute
00:06:48but the players
00:06:49have got to take
00:06:49a right good look
00:06:50at themselves as well
00:06:51Peter
00:06:51because as Alex
00:06:51said there
00:06:52there's guys in there
00:06:53at £7-8 million
00:06:54and they look as if
00:06:55they're free transfers
00:06:56they're playing against
00:06:56Falkirk
00:06:57and they're getting
00:06:57outplayed by a team
00:06:58that's just got promoted
00:06:59Hugh Scott says
00:07:01Peter the scene
00:07:01yesterday reminded me
00:07:02of Jim Goodwin
00:07:03at Aberdeen
00:07:04when he gets sacked
00:07:05at Easter Road
00:07:06walking away
00:07:06on his own
00:07:08and John as well
00:07:11says Russell Martin's
00:07:12exit at Falkirk
00:07:12was very
00:07:13Jim Goodwin-esque
00:07:15and a lot of people
00:07:16saying
00:07:16Rob says
00:07:17this is a worse
00:07:18Rangers team
00:07:18performance
00:07:19wise than when
00:07:20we were in the
00:07:21bottom division
00:07:22and again
00:07:24Brian points out
00:07:25Peter
00:07:26when Russell Martin
00:07:26was appointed
00:07:27the board stated
00:07:28he was the
00:07:29outstanding candidate
00:07:30what does that say
00:07:31about the other
00:07:32candidates here
00:07:33and also Rangers
00:07:35were an absolute
00:07:35disgrace yesterday
00:07:36on and off the field
00:07:38so many people
00:07:39will be obviously
00:07:40looking and wondering
00:07:41about the whole
00:07:43events as they
00:07:43unfolded
00:07:44and when the
00:07:45trigger was eventually
00:07:46going to be pulled
00:07:47on his tenure
00:07:48as Rangers manager
00:07:49Alison McConnell
00:07:51is a reporter
00:07:52who picked up
00:07:52all the slack
00:07:53from the aftermath
00:07:55of that 1-1 draw
00:07:56It's the morning
00:07:57after the night
00:07:58before here at
00:07:59Ibrox after Rangers
00:08:00formally announced
00:08:01the departure
00:08:02of Russell Martin
00:08:03his regime lasted
00:08:04just 123 days
00:08:08and there was a
00:08:08sense of inevitability
00:08:10about his sacking
00:08:12it has lingered
00:08:13in the year
00:08:14across the last
00:08:14few weeks
00:08:15it's been a
00:08:15disastrous regime
00:08:17the shortest
00:08:18managerial regime
00:08:19in Rangers history
00:08:20he came in
00:08:21and he was never
00:08:22a universally
00:08:22popular appointment
00:08:24he accepted that
00:08:25however he arrived
00:08:26here back in June
00:08:27with promises
00:08:28of fast attacking
00:08:29aggressive
00:08:30purposeful football
00:08:31it was never
00:08:32evidenced on his
00:08:33teams on the pitch
00:08:34this is a Rangers
00:08:35side now
00:08:36who find themselves
00:08:3711 points
00:08:38off the pace
00:08:38of Hearts
00:08:39and 9 points
00:08:40off of rivals
00:08:41Celtic
00:08:42whoever is tasked
00:08:43with trying to
00:08:44make up that ground
00:08:45has a huge job
00:08:47in front of them
00:08:47not just in unifying
00:08:49the club
00:08:50and silencing
00:08:51the dissenting
00:08:52noises around the
00:08:53board
00:08:54and unifying
00:08:54players and fans
00:08:56but also
00:08:56in ensuring
00:08:57that this campaign
00:08:58is not entirely
00:08:59a right of it
00:09:00the usual runners
00:09:01and riders
00:09:02who have been
00:09:02quoted so far
00:09:03this morning
00:09:04although Stephen
00:09:04Gerrard remains
00:09:05the name on the lips
00:09:07of most Rangers fans
00:09:08that we've spoken
00:09:09to this morning
00:09:10he of course
00:09:11delivered a title
00:09:11here
00:09:12sop Celtic
00:09:12winning 10 in a row
00:09:14would he be the man
00:09:15that could come back
00:09:16and put Rangers
00:09:17on a firm footing
00:09:19and restore success
00:09:20to this club
00:09:20it's a big ass
00:09:21there's been
00:09:22noises to
00:09:23Kevin Muscat
00:09:24Sean Dyche
00:09:26Danny Roll
00:09:27even Denny McInnes
00:09:28their names are all
00:09:29in the mix
00:09:29but one thing
00:09:30is for certain
00:09:30this is a massive
00:09:31appointment
00:09:32for the Rangers board
00:09:33and it's an appointment
00:09:34that they desperately
00:09:35need to get right
00:09:36yeah I'm not sure
00:09:38if Alison
00:09:39organised a band
00:09:40actually for
00:09:41the day she was
00:09:42going to report
00:09:43outside
00:09:43Alex
00:09:44I did a live
00:09:51with her this
00:09:52morning
00:09:52and as she was
00:09:53chatting
00:09:54you couldn't have
00:09:55picked the timing
00:09:56on it
00:09:57a hearse went by
00:09:58a ruffy
00:09:58with a coffin
00:10:00in it
00:10:01and a union jack
00:10:02on the back of it
00:10:02and I thought to
00:10:03myself
00:10:03my god
00:10:04the picture itself
00:10:05was incredibly
00:10:06sad
00:10:07because
00:10:07I know
00:10:09a lot of
00:10:09people
00:10:10thought
00:10:11Russell Martin
00:10:12was dead
00:10:13very long
00:10:13before it got
00:10:14to the Falkert
00:10:14game
00:10:15but they
00:10:16survived with
00:10:16them
00:10:17they persevered
00:10:18with them
00:10:19as well
00:10:19and then
00:10:19eventually
00:10:20it just
00:10:21became
00:10:22untenable
00:10:23it's as simple
00:10:23as that
00:10:24here's what
00:10:24some of the
00:10:24Rangers fans
00:10:25thought of
00:10:27them eventually
00:10:28sacking the
00:10:29manager
00:10:29I think
00:10:30with all the
00:10:31names
00:10:31getting
00:10:31through
00:10:32about
00:10:32and
00:10:32the
00:10:34experience
00:10:35in the
00:10:35league
00:10:35probably
00:10:36Stephen
00:10:36Robertson
00:10:36I quite fancy
00:10:38him coming in
00:10:39with my
00:10:39Davis
00:10:39assistant
00:10:40just to put
00:10:42that out there
00:10:42I know Gerrard's
00:10:44going to be
00:10:44getting flung
00:10:45about a lot
00:10:46but I think
00:10:47Robertson's
00:10:48done well
00:10:48St Mirren
00:10:49and Motherwell
00:10:50and with
00:10:51better players
00:10:52and more money
00:10:52could only
00:10:54probably
00:10:54do better
00:10:55I think
00:10:56if you compare
00:10:57the players
00:10:58at St Mirren
00:10:58and Motherwell
00:10:59to the Rangers
00:11:00then it's going
00:11:01to be night and day
00:11:02of difference
00:11:03he's going to have
00:11:03a better team
00:11:04to get his wins
00:11:05every week
00:11:05maybe actually
00:11:06keep some clean sheets
00:11:07for a change
00:11:08because he starts
00:11:09from the back
00:11:09and works his way
00:11:11forward
00:11:11whereas
00:11:11obviously in the
00:11:13last couple of months
00:11:13he's been
00:11:14shot to be fair
00:11:16but it's been a good
00:11:17start to the week
00:11:18now that Martin's away
00:11:19so happy days
00:11:21My thoughts today
00:11:21is
00:11:22I'm relieved
00:11:24relieved
00:11:25for the club
00:11:26the supporters
00:11:27but I'm also relieved
00:11:28for Russell Martin
00:11:28as well
00:11:29the club had a duty
00:11:30of care
00:11:31towards the guy
00:11:32and he had to go
00:11:33it was only a matter
00:11:34of time
00:11:34so he's gone
00:11:36now we've got to look
00:11:37and see who
00:11:38what upper management
00:11:40is going to bring in
00:11:42there's been various
00:11:43names touted about
00:11:45Benitez
00:11:45Sean Dyche
00:11:47Gerrard
00:11:47even Barry Ferguson
00:11:49but I think
00:11:50we've got to bring
00:11:51someone in
00:11:51who's experienced
00:11:52knows what the
00:11:54club's about
00:11:55and as I said
00:11:57before
00:11:58coach these
00:11:58younger players
00:12:00because I think
00:12:00there's a lot of
00:12:00good players there
00:12:01to be honest
00:12:02and I think
00:12:03they just need
00:12:03a bit of
00:12:04different style
00:12:05of coaching
00:12:06and maybe a
00:12:06different style
00:12:07of playing
00:12:07you maybe see
00:12:08the best of them
00:12:09anybody but Russell
00:12:10Martin
00:12:10literally anybody
00:12:11I'd like
00:12:12Gerrard back
00:12:13I would love
00:12:14Gerrard back
00:12:14just literally
00:12:16anyone but
00:12:17Russell Martin
00:12:17respect the team
00:12:19so they can
00:12:20respect you back
00:12:20and they play
00:12:21properly
00:12:21simple as that
00:12:23a bit of respect
00:12:24yeah some
00:12:26Rangers fans
00:12:26giving us
00:12:27their thoughts
00:12:27on who the
00:12:29new Rangers
00:12:29boss should be
00:12:30here are the
00:12:31odds on who
00:12:33that potentially
00:12:34could be
00:12:35Kevin Muscat
00:12:362-1
00:12:36Steven Gerrard
00:12:373-1
00:12:38alongside Sean Dyche
00:12:39Gary O'Neill
00:12:40at 6-1
00:12:41Barry Ferguson
00:12:428-1
00:12:42Derek McInnes
00:12:4310-1
00:12:44does it need
00:12:46to be somebody
00:12:46who has an
00:12:48understanding of
00:12:49Rangers as a
00:12:49football club
00:12:50maybe a
00:12:50connection
00:12:51what would you
00:12:53like to see
00:12:53someone that
00:12:56could actually
00:12:56fire up the
00:12:57players Peter
00:12:57I think Tam
00:12:58makes a valid
00:12:58point there
00:12:59about the
00:13:00actual group
00:13:00in itself
00:13:01there's players
00:13:02within the
00:13:03group
00:13:04and I'm
00:13:07struggling to
00:13:07say that
00:13:08anybody's
00:13:08actually had
00:13:08any consistency
00:13:09for any
00:13:10period of time
00:13:11you might get
00:13:11the odd decent
00:13:12performance but
00:13:12over the piece
00:13:13you're looking for
00:13:13leadership qualities
00:13:14within that
00:13:15dressing room
00:13:15so for me
00:13:16it's someone who
00:13:17can actually
00:13:17command that
00:13:18dressing room
00:13:18and try and
00:13:19get them going
00:13:19in the right
00:13:20direction would be
00:13:21the ideal candidate
00:13:22at this current
00:13:23time
00:13:24now obviously
00:13:24Steven Gerrard's
00:13:25been mentioned
00:13:25and he obviously
00:13:26knows the
00:13:27landscape and so
00:13:27forth
00:13:28and I think
00:13:29that's one of
00:13:29the things
00:13:29is
00:13:30the surprising
00:13:30thing for me
00:13:31and I'm not
00:13:32going to come back
00:13:32a little bit
00:13:33is that Russell
00:13:34Martin was saying
00:13:35like a draw is
00:13:36like a disaster
00:13:37up here
00:13:38everybody who's
00:13:39affiliated with that
00:13:40club knows when
00:13:40you drop points
00:13:41because obviously
00:13:42Celtic are flying
00:13:43they always manage
00:13:44to seem to get
00:13:45that late winner
00:13:45which they did
00:13:46yesterday so
00:13:47it's somebody who
00:13:49knows what's
00:13:49required within there
00:13:51now obviously
00:13:52you want to try
00:13:52and bring your
00:13:53own brand and
00:13:54style as well
00:13:54to that
00:13:55but ultimately
00:13:56you have to
00:13:56you listen to
00:13:57Brendan Rodgers
00:13:58yesterday and
00:13:58he's talking about
00:13:59it's well below
00:14:00par but they got
00:14:01the job done
00:14:01and it's someone
00:14:02who recognises
00:14:03it's not necessarily
00:14:04the actual
00:14:05philosophy and the
00:14:05brand but you
00:14:06get the job done
00:14:07and what that
00:14:08requires and I
00:14:09think he has to
00:14:09imprint that on
00:14:10the squad because
00:14:11they're falling
00:14:11short every turn
00:14:13two quick points
00:14:14before I bring
00:14:15the guys in here
00:14:16on this
00:14:16from your own
00:14:19point of view
00:14:20you were in the
00:14:21dugout alongside
00:14:21Philippe Clermont
00:14:22how difficult
00:14:23does it become
00:14:25when you're trying
00:14:26every angle
00:14:27but you can't
00:14:28get what you're
00:14:31hoping for out
00:14:31of the team
00:14:32yeah and that
00:14:33was a frustrating
00:14:34thing for us
00:14:35at the time
00:14:36he actually
00:14:36mentioned that
00:14:37yesterday
00:14:37he says I'm
00:14:38really frustrated
00:14:38and that was the
00:14:39same and I'm
00:14:40trying to put my
00:14:40finger on when we
00:14:41were in situ at
00:14:42the time Peter
00:14:43and home form
00:14:45was equally as
00:14:46good as Celtic
00:14:46the European form
00:14:47was great but
00:14:48the away form
00:14:49was poor
00:14:50you know it was
00:14:51like mid table
00:14:51form so we
00:14:52dropped to other
00:14:52points which was
00:14:53the difference in
00:14:54the league table
00:14:55so for me it's
00:14:57about recognising
00:14:58where it takes
00:15:00to win away from
00:15:00home where it's
00:15:01just roll up your
00:15:01sleeves I was
00:15:02actually sat with
00:15:02someone yesterday
00:15:03and I was chatting
00:15:04about a desire
00:15:05and just winning
00:15:07games you know
00:15:07like a game like
00:15:09yesterday how do
00:15:09you turn that
00:15:10from 1-1 into
00:15:113 points and it
00:15:13was someone like
00:15:14Marvin Andrews
00:15:15somebody who just
00:15:15had a desire
00:15:16to then go and
00:15:17go on the back
00:15:17of a delivery
00:15:18into the box
00:15:19from a set
00:15:19player somewhere
00:15:20and it's just
00:15:21trying to kind of
00:15:22get that
00:15:22through but that
00:15:24particular group
00:15:25just didn't have
00:15:27that and that
00:15:27was a frustrating
00:15:28thing and to
00:15:29play for clubs
00:15:30like Rangers and
00:15:30Celtic you need
00:15:31that kind of
00:15:32mentality that
00:15:33whatever it takes
00:15:34you're going to
00:15:35end up doing
00:15:35what are you
00:15:36having to bully
00:15:36what are you
00:15:37sledge someone
00:15:38you know try and
00:15:39get in someone's
00:15:40ear try and
00:15:40influence a referee
00:15:41whatever it may
00:15:42well be these
00:15:43are the credentials
00:15:44that actually
00:15:45can nick your
00:15:46points along
00:15:46the way
00:15:47right and on the
00:15:48second point
00:15:48and believe me
00:15:49I've been quite
00:15:51strong in putting
00:15:52this out there
00:15:53because I don't
00:15:54get the fixation
00:15:55and I'm here to
00:15:56be you know
00:15:57swayed otherwise
00:15:58I don't get the
00:15:59fixation with
00:16:00Steven Gerrard
00:16:01because there were
00:16:03so many elements
00:16:04that worked in his
00:16:05favour to his
00:16:05credit he was
00:16:06behind the eight
00:16:07ball where
00:16:07Rangers fans were
00:16:08thinking you know
00:16:09is he the man for
00:16:10the job he was
00:16:11there three and a
00:16:11bit years he
00:16:12eventually managed
00:16:13to get one
00:16:13title in that
00:16:14three and a
00:16:15bit years with
00:16:16no fans in the
00:16:17ground no
00:16:18pressure of
00:16:19supporters not
00:16:20happy with
00:16:20certain performances
00:16:21players were
00:16:22saved from that
00:16:23you had a Celtic
00:16:24side imploding
00:16:25with a boardroom
00:16:26going through their
00:16:27usual calamitous
00:16:28decisions and a
00:16:29manager with players
00:16:31that just weren't
00:16:32stepping up to the
00:16:32plate so all the
00:16:35stars aligned for
00:16:36him in that season
00:16:37he then goes to
00:16:37Aston Villa
00:16:38fails he then goes
00:16:40to El Etifak
00:16:41fails I don't
00:16:43see the
00:16:43credentials other
00:16:45than a love of
00:16:45stopping 10 in a
00:16:46row that Rangers
00:16:47fans are fixated
00:16:48with yeah and
00:16:49listen I think
00:16:50there's been several
00:16:50moments within his
00:16:51tenure that he was
00:16:52possibly thinking
00:16:53about walking away
00:16:54from the club on
00:16:56the back of bad
00:16:57results well the
00:17:00one thing we do
00:17:00know is he's got
00:17:01more experience than
00:17:02he did at that
00:17:02original thing you
00:17:03know obviously the
00:17:04Villa experience he
00:17:05might have learnt
00:17:05something from that
00:17:06going to Saudi I
00:17:07think that was just
00:17:08a jolly really because
00:17:10I don't think too
00:17:10many people have
00:17:11taken serious when
00:17:12they go over there
00:17:12so he finds himself
00:17:14in the wilderness and
00:17:15if he did get the
00:17:15opportunity then I
00:17:17think he would bite
00:17:17the hands off it and
00:17:18it may well be a
00:17:19different set of
00:17:20circumstances where
00:17:21the American owners
00:17:22maybe be able to
00:17:23finance and support
00:17:24them better than the
00:17:25previous regime
00:17:26because there was
00:17:27periods even when he
00:17:28won the league I
00:17:28think he would have
00:17:30looked back at that
00:17:30and thought you know
00:17:31we're not really
00:17:32getting much financial
00:17:33backing on the back
00:17:34of they wanted to
00:17:35double down and then
00:17:36there's UCA Celtic and
00:17:37a wee bit of
00:17:37disarray at that
00:17:38particular time so he
00:17:39may well have learnt
00:17:40from that and he
00:17:41obviously again he
00:17:42knows the landscape
00:17:43now there's a few
00:17:43people that Musk
00:17:44got you're talking
00:17:45about the boy Roe as
00:17:46well so there's people
00:17:47out with who have
00:17:49actually done okay at
00:17:49certain clubs
00:17:50Sheffield Wednesday
00:17:51Muzzy's won titles in
00:17:52Asia so there's
00:17:54possibilities that they
00:17:55might go do you know
00:17:55what we'll go and get
00:17:56them but you're bringing
00:17:57them into an environment
00:17:58again that they would
00:18:00be probably novices
00:18:01you know you look at
00:18:02Russell Martin he's
00:18:04coming in on the back
00:18:04of having a spell up
00:18:06here and it looked as
00:18:07if he was a you know
00:18:08a duck out of water
00:18:10he looked lost he
00:18:11looked as if he was
00:18:11in the wrong movie
00:18:12Do you think the
00:18:13manager coming in is
00:18:15coming in to say well
00:18:16the season's gone or
00:18:18do you think it's still
00:18:18something that can be
00:18:19saved?
00:18:21I think he's going to
00:18:22a dressing room that's
00:18:23a wee bit you know
00:18:24confidence wise is on
00:18:26their knees you look
00:18:27at the group it would
00:18:28take some turning
00:18:28around to be successful
00:18:30in the league I think
00:18:3011 points I think it's
00:18:32less with Celtic but
00:18:33you're still hearts look
00:18:34really good contenders
00:18:36to kick on and be
00:18:37successful can be
00:18:40consistent in that
00:18:41respect as well so I
00:18:42think this season in
00:18:44terms of winning the
00:18:45league I think it's a
00:18:46big ask whoever comes
00:18:47in I think even at this
00:18:48early stage you know
00:18:49but if you get them up
00:18:50and running and get a
00:18:51few decent results
00:18:52because I don't think
00:18:52Celtic are firing all
00:18:53cylinders and if you
00:18:55can gather momentum
00:18:55with the current squad
00:18:57then you may well get on
00:18:58a little run but for
00:19:01what I've seen week to
00:19:02week with this group
00:19:03and the mentality within
00:19:04this group I still
00:19:05think they'll be short
00:19:06Who would you like to
00:19:07see as manager?
00:19:10The contenders I've
00:19:11seen there
00:19:11Or somebody maybe you've
00:19:13thought of that we
00:19:14haven't thought of out of
00:19:15left field
00:19:15Honestly I haven't really
00:19:16paid a great deal of
00:19:17attention who's out there
00:19:18and available because I
00:19:19think that's one of the
00:19:19things I would probably
00:19:22go with Gerrard and
00:19:23again one of the
00:19:24interesting things with
00:19:25that it would be a
00:19:26popular choice with the
00:19:27Rangers fans but whoever
00:19:29they go with there also
00:19:30has to be an element of
00:19:31patience within the fans
00:19:32as well Peter because
00:19:33what's happening is people
00:19:34are coming in as soon as
00:19:35things start going a wee
00:19:36bit awry they're on them
00:19:37like a ton of bricks
00:19:38there has to be an
00:19:39element where they allow
00:19:40people a couple of
00:19:41windows try and get
00:19:42their own styles their
00:19:44own personnel in and
00:19:45then allow them to try
00:19:46and get some sort of
00:19:47momentum going forward
00:19:48because it's toxic at the
00:19:49moment
00:19:49The biggest problem with
00:19:51that
00:19:51Alec made a great point
00:19:52there about popular
00:19:53with the fans and I
00:19:54think that's a massive
00:19:56must for the next
00:19:57manager to come in
00:19:57because the Rangers fans
00:19:59didn't want Russell
00:19:59Martin and straight away
00:20:00he got no time at all
00:20:01Peter you got no
00:20:03settling in bedding in
00:20:04period
00:20:04Stevie and Gerrard I
00:20:06think would probably be
00:20:07the most popular choice
00:20:08out of all of them
00:20:09in terms of coming in
00:20:11because he stopped
00:20:11turning their own and
00:20:12the Rangers fans have
00:20:13still got that nostalgia
00:20:13with him but me
00:20:15personally I think
00:20:16Muscat should be the
00:20:17manager
00:20:18For what reason?
00:20:21I thought Muscat
00:20:21I think it was out of
00:20:22Muscat and Philip
00:20:23Clement I think that was
00:20:24the tour the last time
00:20:25when obviously Philip
00:20:25Clement came in
00:20:26and for me I'm a big
00:20:28fan of Muscat
00:20:29I've seen him
00:20:30he's won titles
00:20:31in Australia
00:20:31he's won titles
00:20:32in China
00:20:33he's won titles
00:20:33in Japan
00:20:34he's played for Rangers
00:20:35he's got an attacking
00:20:36very very attacking
00:20:37style of play
00:20:38he worked with
00:20:39Ange Postacoglu
00:20:39at Yokohama
00:20:40and I look at him
00:20:41and I think he ticks
00:20:42a lot of boxes
00:20:42Peter so for me
00:20:43Kevin Muscat
00:20:44would be the one
00:20:45for Rangers
00:20:45Is it a better
00:20:46situation for a
00:20:48manager coming in
00:20:49now with the
00:20:50expectation
00:20:51as Alec mentioned
00:20:52on the floor?
00:20:53I think it's a great
00:20:54time to come in
00:20:54I do
00:20:55I think it's a great
00:20:55time Peter
00:20:56because I don't
00:20:57think Rangers can
00:20:57go any low at the
00:20:58minute
00:20:58I think they're
00:20:59rock bottom
00:20:59and I think the
00:21:00only way is up
00:21:01and as Alec said
00:21:02you come in
00:21:02you get a couple
00:21:02of results
00:21:03you galvanise
00:21:03the fans
00:21:04everybody comes
00:21:05together again
00:21:05and then all of a
00:21:07sudden you start
00:21:07climbing the table
00:21:08so I think it's a
00:21:09perfect time for a
00:21:10manager to come in
00:21:11and I don't think
00:21:12as Alec said
00:21:13I don't think Celtic
00:21:14are firing in all
00:21:15cylinders at all
00:21:16and I think Rangers
00:21:17have still got a
00:21:18possibility if they
00:21:19can get going
00:21:19if they get
00:21:20something that
00:21:20revitalises the team
00:21:22there's still an
00:21:22opportunity to go
00:21:23win the league
00:21:23this season I think
00:21:24One of the comments
00:21:26coming in here
00:21:27and I'm going to
00:21:27pick up on the name
00:21:28because it was
00:21:28someone that I
00:21:29dismissed out of
00:21:31hand because I
00:21:31just didn't think
00:21:32like Steven Gerrard
00:21:33he was a candidate
00:21:34but Graeme Souness
00:21:35was very pro
00:21:36Frank Lampard
00:21:38and at the time
00:21:38he was very pro
00:21:39Frank Lampard
00:21:40I was of the
00:21:41belief that Frank
00:21:42Lampard was just
00:21:43not a manager
00:21:44just not capable
00:21:45but he had a
00:21:47resurgence at
00:21:47Coventry
00:21:48that propelled him
00:21:50to a point where
00:21:51maybe other people
00:21:53and clubs were
00:21:53looking and
00:21:54thinking well
00:21:54maybe he's not
00:21:55this dud that
00:21:56everybody is
00:21:57portraying him to
00:21:57be
00:21:58is it that
00:21:59is it a back
00:22:00to a David
00:22:01Ancelotti
00:22:01is it an
00:22:02available Rafa
00:22:03Benitez
00:22:03I think the first
00:22:04thing is the guys
00:22:05have said there
00:22:06I agree with them
00:22:06100%
00:22:07you've got to
00:22:08appease the fans
00:22:09the fans have
00:22:09already shown how
00:22:11vocal they can be
00:22:12if they don't like
00:22:13the next guy coming
00:22:13in
00:22:14Steven Gerrard
00:22:15obviously ticks
00:22:15the boxes
00:22:16I don't think that
00:22:17would be a bad
00:22:18move for the fans
00:22:19point of view
00:22:19I think they'd be
00:22:20100% beside
00:22:22as Alex said
00:22:23I think he'd get
00:22:24time obviously
00:22:25you're not going
00:22:26to start winning
00:22:26games right away
00:22:27but I think he's
00:22:28won enough the
00:22:29time he was there
00:22:30for them to get
00:22:30behind
00:22:31so whoever they
00:22:32appoint the
00:22:33pressure's on
00:22:33whoever it is
00:22:34if the fans all
00:22:35of a sudden
00:22:36come out and
00:22:37say well we
00:22:38don't really fancy
00:22:38them as they did
00:22:39with Russell
00:22:40you know the
00:22:41guys aren't
00:22:42hiding to
00:22:42nothing
00:22:42One Pad's a
00:22:43great show
00:22:43however I'm not
00:22:45exactly sure he
00:22:46would leave the
00:22:47current place where
00:22:48he's at the
00:22:48moment I actually
00:22:49think he's really
00:22:50enjoying it
00:22:50Coventry are a
00:22:51big club in the
00:22:52Midlands as you
00:22:52know and also
00:22:53not bigger than
00:22:55Rangers
00:22:55no not at all
00:22:56but what I'm
00:22:56saying is it's a
00:22:58club that's managed
00:22:58to get their
00:22:59stadium back
00:22:59they've got good
00:23:00backing for the
00:23:00owners so they
00:23:01seem to have the
00:23:02trajectory to
00:23:03allow them to go
00:23:04in the right
00:23:04direction so
00:23:05do you go up
00:23:07here and look
00:23:08across the border
00:23:09and go oh my
00:23:09god what's going
00:23:11on up there
00:23:12I would suggest
00:23:14that that might
00:23:14be a bridge too
00:23:15far I don't
00:23:15think he would
00:23:16come
00:23:16yeah that's an
00:23:17interesting point
00:23:18we've given you
00:23:20the odds I mean I'm
00:23:21trying to look at a
00:23:22left field at what's
00:23:23going to be a
00:23:23listen Patrick
00:23:25Stewart Kevin
00:23:26Thelwell the
00:23:27board Andrew
00:23:29Kavanagh will be
00:23:29looking and they
00:23:31will have 100
00:23:32names that we
00:23:34haven't thought of
00:23:34who are all
00:23:35desperately take that
00:23:36job they've got to
00:23:38whittle it down and
00:23:39say listen we need
00:23:40two or three strong
00:23:42candidates that may
00:23:44well have to as you
00:23:45guys have suggested
00:23:46appease people with
00:23:47a popular choice
00:23:48with an understanding
00:23:49of the club with an
00:23:50understanding maybe of
00:23:51Scottish football or
00:23:52an understanding of a
00:23:54clear blueprint of how
00:23:55they want to play and a
00:23:56CV that has titles so
00:23:58we've given you the
00:24:00bookies odds in the
00:24:01six that might they
00:24:02might not be within a
00:24:03million miles of it
00:24:04roughly but they've
00:24:06got it they've got to
00:24:06make sure they get it
00:24:07right this time not
00:24:08only from a new board's
00:24:10perspective in the
00:24:1149ers because the one
00:24:12thing about the 49ers
00:24:13roughly in this
00:24:14this board that's
00:24:15been put together
00:24:15here that they're
00:24:18not they're not
00:24:19Rangers fans
00:24:20doesn't matter what
00:24:21way you look at it
00:24:22this is a board built
00:24:23on we have a business
00:24:24strategy for Rangers
00:24:25going forward short
00:24:27termism can be the
00:24:28fans shouting and
00:24:29going mental at the
00:24:30manager but our plan
00:24:31is a long term
00:24:33business plan for this
00:24:34club so they've got
00:24:35to get this next
00:24:36that's why they've
00:24:36got it in the last
00:24:37couple of years
00:24:37yeah absolutely I
00:24:38don't know if it's
00:24:39going to get them
00:24:39any votes but you
00:24:41know the people
00:24:43they have already
00:24:45tapped into one or
00:24:46two people already
00:24:46do you know what
00:24:47I mean they must
00:24:48have sounded people
00:24:49out before this
00:24:49their son I was
00:24:50just wondering how
00:24:51kind of stringent the
00:24:52actual process was
00:24:53yeah well let's not
00:24:54knock it the
00:24:55president of the
00:24:56United States has
00:24:57fired in a few of
00:24:58his family members
00:24:59into positions that
00:25:00we couldn't believe
00:25:00either you know
00:25:01that's the that's
00:25:02the way the world's
00:25:03going right now
00:25:04who am I to who
00:25:06am I to argue with
00:25:07Kevin Thalwell when
00:25:08president Trump
00:25:09sorry to our
00:25:10American viewers
00:25:10who I know are
00:25:11going to steam in
00:25:11and mean that one
00:25:12one thing that you
00:25:13did mention that I
00:25:14thought was very
00:25:15pertinent is the
00:25:16necessity for
00:25:18Rangers supporters
00:25:19to maybe take a
00:25:20little step back
00:25:21and cut this next
00:25:22guy some slack
00:25:24Stephen A.
00:25:24Smith who is the
00:25:25Scotland assistant
00:25:26was talking about
00:25:27basically the conduct
00:25:28of some fans
00:25:29blocking the bus
00:25:31at Falkirk
00:25:31again I think it
00:25:33has become normal
00:25:34I don't think
00:25:36anybody really
00:25:39likes seeing it
00:25:39it's uncomfortable
00:25:40to see but I do
00:25:43think I do think
00:25:44everybody in football
00:25:45has an understanding
00:25:46of it that we're
00:25:48fortunate in a
00:25:48country that we've
00:25:49got great passion
00:25:50we've got a
00:25:50fighting spirit I
00:25:51think there's no
00:25:52clearer evidence
00:25:53than that than
00:25:54the national team
00:25:55getting to the
00:25:55Euros consistently
00:25:56twice and you
00:25:58don't want to take
00:25:59that away but I
00:26:00think you've you've
00:26:01have an understanding
00:26:02that it's it's a
00:26:04job it's it's
00:26:06it's people it's
00:26:08individuals that
00:26:09part of it I
00:26:10think as I said
00:26:11it is uncomfortable
00:26:12to see
00:26:12point I think
00:26:17that he makes
00:26:18there is a human
00:26:20element to it as
00:26:21well which sometimes
00:26:22is lost when you
00:26:23get caught up in
00:26:23the passion of
00:26:24wanting a manager
00:26:25out that was
00:26:26Stevie Naismith
00:26:27I apologise
00:26:28unreservedly to
00:26:29the Falkirk fans
00:26:30because Falkirk
00:26:32managed to get a
00:26:32draw out of this
00:26:33and John
00:26:34McGlynn very
00:26:36much an
00:26:37afterthought I
00:26:37think for
00:26:38everybody chasing
00:26:38the story was
00:26:40asked about
00:26:40Henry Cartwright's
00:26:42goal and of
00:26:43course the fact
00:26:43that they were
00:26:45in the mix to
00:26:45possibly take three
00:26:46points off Rangers
00:26:47Henry goes on
00:26:50a magnificent
00:26:51substitution
00:26:52strikes a great
00:26:55ball so a
00:26:56couple of guys
00:26:56that got hooked
00:26:57at half time
00:26:57last week came
00:26:58up with I
00:26:58thought Ethan
00:26:59Williams was
00:27:00great in the
00:27:0110 positions for
00:27:02us today
00:27:02especially
00:27:03first half and
00:27:04then Kyrie on
00:27:05the wing but
00:27:05Henry comes on
00:27:06and one way to
00:27:08tell the manager
00:27:09they're not happy
00:27:09I don't want to
00:27:10get in the team
00:27:10and the goal that
00:27:11he gets
00:27:12and on another day
00:27:14Ross has got a
00:27:14header, Brian's
00:27:15had a chance
00:27:16there's bits and
00:27:16pieces throughout
00:27:17the both halves
00:27:19that maybe we could
00:27:19have got added to
00:27:21the one goal that
00:27:22we got
00:27:22being 1-0
00:27:25down
00:27:25maybe took
00:27:27something from
00:27:28the game
00:27:28because it
00:27:28would have
00:27:28been a
00:27:28travesty for
00:27:29us not
00:27:29but I think
00:27:30overall the
00:27:31question was
00:27:31we should have
00:27:32taken all three
00:27:33points probably
00:27:33overall maybe
00:27:34yeah I think so
00:27:35yeah I think a few
00:27:38Falkirk fans thought
00:27:38they were up for
00:27:39taking all three
00:27:40points but listen
00:27:41a draw not only
00:27:43gave Falkirk a
00:27:44crucial point but
00:27:45it sounded the
00:27:46death knell on the
00:27:47career of Russell
00:27:48Martin as Rangers
00:27:49boss keep giving us
00:27:50your comments on
00:27:51who you think should
00:27:52be the new Rangers
00:27:53manager what are the
00:27:54credentials that
00:27:55you'd like to see
00:27:56onwards to Celtic
00:27:58Park 3-2 against
00:27:59Motherwell I'm going
00:28:00to quickly go over
00:28:01to you Ruffy and
00:28:02your stupid goal
00:28:03keepers union
00:28:04because I cannot
00:28:06believe that
00:28:09Callum Ward
00:28:10decided it was a
00:28:11good idea to play
00:28:12the ball to one of
00:28:13his own players on
00:28:15the six yard ball
00:28:15surrounded by Celtic
00:28:17players at a time
00:28:18when they were 2-1
00:28:18up against the
00:28:19champions and sold
00:28:20the jerseys is that
00:28:21fair comment yeah I
00:28:22would say so I
00:28:23think he's honest
00:28:23enough to say he's
00:28:24made it cost them
00:28:26a game I think that
00:28:27brought Celtic back
00:28:28into the game when
00:28:29they looked down and
00:28:30out but certainly
00:28:31the manager seemed
00:28:34quite happy with
00:28:35his performance he
00:28:35had some good
00:28:36saves during the
00:28:37game but you know
00:28:38at the end of the
00:28:39day you know if
00:28:39you're going to
00:28:40play that way and
00:28:41the players are
00:28:41comfortable playing
00:28:42it's going to fall
00:28:43down somewhere
00:28:43there's going to be
00:28:44a mistake and
00:28:45unfortunately for
00:28:46him it was him
00:28:47it cost it
00:28:47and I also think
00:28:48we've been and I
00:28:49have been in the
00:28:50last few weeks
00:28:51very very complimentary
00:28:53towards Jens
00:28:54Berthalaska and
00:28:55the way he wants
00:28:56his team to play
00:28:56but come on Alec
00:28:58the game is about
00:28:59winning games and
00:29:00at that point I
00:29:02thought Motherwell
00:29:02were coasting Celtic
00:29:04were inept looked
00:29:05as if they were
00:29:06you know coasting
00:29:06to a defeat and
00:29:08suddenly he lifts
00:29:09the whole stadium
00:29:10with an act of
00:29:11stupidity
00:29:11yeah I'm an old
00:29:14traditionalist in that
00:29:15sense and I
00:29:15understand that the
00:29:16actual brand of
00:29:18football that they're
00:29:19actually playing at
00:29:19the moment is really
00:29:20refreshing you know
00:29:22I spoke to a
00:29:22Motherwell fan last
00:29:23Thursday night and
00:29:24he says I'm
00:29:24absolutely delighted
00:29:25what I'm watching
00:29:25it's really good
00:29:27they're in the top
00:29:28half of the table
00:29:29but at certain
00:29:30moments you have to
00:29:31pick and choose
00:29:33when it's on to
00:29:34play out and
00:29:34through that
00:29:35really high press
00:29:37and he's got it
00:29:38wrong
00:29:38clearly he's got it
00:29:40wrong because as
00:29:40you say
00:29:41there was nobody
00:29:42past him
00:29:42the boy was
00:29:43on the
00:29:44you have to
00:29:45then play a high
00:29:48support then
00:29:48and then obviously
00:29:49the five of the
00:29:50Celtic players are
00:29:51out and then
00:29:51try and pick on
00:29:52the second balls
00:29:53at that point
00:29:53so it's trying to
00:29:54get the balance
00:29:55of when it's out
00:29:55to play and then
00:29:57when you drop it
00:29:58into your striker
00:29:58yeah and the
00:29:59point you're just
00:30:00making there Tam
00:30:01is something that
00:30:01I think a number
00:30:02of I mean if you're
00:30:04going to upset the
00:30:04manager fine upset
00:30:06and we're still 2-1
00:30:07in front and at
00:30:08that time you know
00:30:10the footballer we're
00:30:11playing coming out
00:30:12from the back is
00:30:13fine sometimes when
00:30:15some of the goal
00:30:15keepers and not
00:30:16just him just him
00:30:17Ruffy and some of
00:30:18the goal keepers
00:30:19have that really high
00:30:21press inside the box
00:30:22what they do is is
00:30:24they realise that
00:30:24it's a team game
00:30:25and every other
00:30:26player has to be
00:30:27engaged you remember
00:30:27the days when you
00:30:28thought I'm not on
00:30:29the ball or not
00:30:29do anything
00:30:30everybody's engaged
00:30:31now so the
00:30:33full backs or the
00:30:33wingers go wide
00:30:35and give them the
00:30:36option to play it
00:30:36out to drop it in
00:30:37but he even
00:30:39hesitated
00:30:39he'd already played
00:30:40that move
00:30:41he'd already done
00:30:42it
00:30:42he'd already done
00:30:44it and then it
00:30:45come back again
00:30:46and that's when
00:30:46he should have
00:30:47shelled it
00:30:47because there was
00:30:48nothing else on
00:30:48Celtic had just
00:30:50closed them down
00:30:50I think it's
00:30:51five players they
00:30:52had so you've
00:30:53got to
00:30:54nobody to give
00:30:55it to you
00:30:55just launch it
00:30:56I said it on
00:30:57Friday this was
00:30:58the perfect team
00:30:59for Celtic to
00:31:00play against
00:31:00I actually predicted
00:31:013-1 because I
00:31:02said Celtic will
00:31:03go and press a
00:31:04life at them
00:31:04and if they're not
00:31:06good enough
00:31:06in that situation
00:31:08they'll get punished
00:31:09and that was the
00:31:11defining moment in
00:31:11the game Peter
00:31:12as you said
00:31:13I watched the
00:31:13game as well
00:31:132-1 down
00:31:14Celtic were going
00:31:15nowhere
00:31:16the boos were
00:31:16starting
00:31:17there was a lot
00:31:17of anger in
00:31:18the stadium
00:31:19and then you
00:31:19give Celtic a
00:31:20lift and then
00:31:20you're not surprised
00:31:21to get the one
00:31:22at the end
00:31:22but I really
00:31:24admire Mother
00:31:24who will try to
00:31:25play that way
00:31:25but you've got
00:31:26it in the right
00:31:26areas
00:31:27you can't do it
00:31:27in your own
00:31:28six yard box
00:31:28it was mental
00:31:30football
00:31:30and it's cost
00:31:31them at least
00:31:32a point
00:31:32yeah absolutely
00:31:33I agree with you
00:31:34on that
00:31:34I know you're a
00:31:36stickler for this
00:31:36Alec you hate
00:31:37people actually
00:31:38boasting about
00:31:39what they predicted
00:31:40and giving
00:31:41themselves a pat
00:31:42in the back
00:31:42he predicted
00:31:43Hibbs to beat
00:31:44Hearts in the
00:31:44Derby
00:31:45they were coming
00:31:45to that
00:31:46so let's
00:31:47find out about
00:31:47that shortly
00:31:48Martin Boyle's
00:31:49chance got to
00:31:49score
00:31:49yeah absolutely
00:31:50by the way
00:31:53this is what
00:31:55Brendan Rogers
00:31:55had to say
00:31:56after the game
00:31:58the players
00:31:58showed an
00:31:59unbelievable
00:31:59amount of
00:32:00heart
00:32:00playing against
00:32:01a mother-old
00:32:01team who are
00:32:02unbeaten
00:32:03you can see
00:32:03how they scored
00:32:05three at the
00:32:06Hearts game
00:32:07and two goals
00:32:08here
00:32:08we showed a
00:32:09real strong
00:32:10mentality and
00:32:10a real
00:32:11competitive grit
00:32:12there's no doubt
00:32:13there's a feeling
00:32:13that isn't quite
00:32:15what I would say
00:32:16is the Celtic
00:32:16feeling
00:32:17we are nowhere
00:32:17near our level
00:32:18however it's
00:32:19important you
00:32:20still win
00:32:21the minute he
00:32:22made that mistake
00:32:23Ruffy I thought
00:32:24Celtic will go on
00:32:25and win this game
00:32:26there was no doubt
00:32:27because the keeper
00:32:27had managed to
00:32:28lift the crowd
00:32:29and then from
00:32:31there the players
00:32:31somehow got that
00:32:32stimulant to say
00:32:34right let's go on
00:32:35and win this
00:32:36and by the way
00:32:36you look at
00:32:38that team
00:32:39he's right
00:32:39they're nowhere
00:32:40near the level
00:32:40they are off it
00:32:42and so many
00:32:42players that
00:32:43he's signed
00:32:44he's signed
00:32:45are not
00:32:46delivering
00:32:47I think the
00:32:48worrying thing
00:32:49for everybody
00:32:49else is
00:32:50nobody's beat
00:32:51them
00:32:51they're winning
00:32:53games
00:32:53and what's it
00:32:55going to be like
00:32:56when they do
00:32:56get it right
00:32:57if nobody can
00:32:57beat them
00:32:58at this precise
00:32:58moment in time
00:33:00that's the
00:33:00worrying bit
00:33:01but you're right
00:33:01that goal gave
00:33:03them the lift
00:33:03and the support
00:33:04got right behind
00:33:05them the last
00:33:0615 minutes
00:33:06and I think
00:33:07Motherwell
00:33:08were just trying
00:33:08to hang on
00:33:09let's get a
00:33:09point
00:33:09let's get a
00:33:10point
00:33:10and get out
00:33:10of here
00:33:10and then
00:33:11the goal
00:33:12goes in
00:33:12I don't know
00:33:12how many
00:33:13inches was he
00:33:13off the ground
00:33:14when he
00:33:14did it
00:33:14how did he
00:33:17get it
00:33:17actually for
00:33:18scales
00:33:18I thought
00:33:18scales had put it
00:33:19in initially
00:33:20but some
00:33:21heather
00:33:21tells you
00:33:21everything
00:33:22great credit
00:33:22to Motherwell
00:33:23the way they
00:33:23played
00:33:24Celtic fans
00:33:25celebrated
00:33:26the ones who
00:33:26were in the
00:33:26stadium
00:33:27celebrated as if
00:33:28they'd scored
00:33:29the winner
00:33:29against Juventus
00:33:30yeah and
00:33:31just released
00:33:32probably
00:33:32I think the way
00:33:33Celtic are playing
00:33:33they're not scoring
00:33:34goals at the
00:33:34minute
00:33:34they're really
00:33:36really struggling
00:33:36in front of
00:33:36a goal
00:33:37to get three
00:33:37goals
00:33:37to get a late
00:33:39winner
00:33:39I think is real
00:33:41relief
00:33:41and that was
00:33:42all it was
00:33:42but as Brendan
00:33:43says they're not
00:33:44playing they're not
00:33:44hitting their
00:33:45levels at the
00:33:45minute
00:33:45there's too
00:33:46many players
00:33:46just not on
00:33:47it
00:33:47but they're
00:33:48still winning
00:33:48and they're
00:33:49still I think
00:33:49they've won
00:33:50five and drew
00:33:51two to seven
00:33:51games
00:33:51it's still
00:33:52an impressive
00:33:53points tally
00:33:53so far
00:33:54see the
00:33:54thing
00:33:54the statement
00:33:56by Brendan
00:33:56Rodgers
00:33:57post-match
00:33:57the thing
00:33:58for me
00:33:58is mentality
00:33:59we talk
00:34:00about
00:34:00across the
00:34:01city
00:34:02it's about
00:34:02digging out
00:34:03results
00:34:03so they've
00:34:04managed to
00:34:04actually be
00:34:05well below
00:34:06par
00:34:06and still get
00:34:07the result
00:34:07and that
00:34:08doesn't happen
00:34:08by chance
00:34:09that's a team
00:34:09that continues
00:34:10to believe
00:34:10and then when
00:34:11you're making
00:34:12substitutions
00:34:12as well
00:34:14then they make
00:34:15impacts within
00:34:16that game
00:34:16and then
00:34:17obviously
00:34:17Maeda started
00:34:19on the right
00:34:19hand side
00:34:20and then went
00:34:20through the middle
00:34:21and then they
00:34:22bring on the
00:34:22subs angles
00:34:23was a big
00:34:24part of that
00:34:24as well
00:34:25so you look
00:34:25at that
00:34:26quality
00:34:27they're bringing
00:34:27off the
00:34:27bench
00:34:27and that's
00:34:28the reason
00:34:28why they're
00:34:28winning games
00:34:29because they've
00:34:30got better
00:34:30players available
00:34:31to them
00:34:32than the rest
00:34:32yeah
00:34:33it's good to see
00:34:34Barlet Wiesher
00:34:34actually playing
00:34:35a ball forward
00:34:36because as I
00:34:38said he's
00:34:38been
00:34:38he's not
00:34:39done anything
00:34:40this Celtic
00:34:40he's just got
00:34:41the ball
00:34:41been too safe
00:34:42but lovely
00:34:43little pass in
00:34:43he's not the
00:34:45only one
00:34:45with all your
00:34:45respect
00:34:45that should
00:34:47give him
00:34:47confidence as
00:34:47well
00:34:47getting an
00:34:48assist
00:34:49there's big
00:34:50questions
00:34:51Ruffy
00:34:51Kieran Tierney
00:34:53has come on
00:34:53again as a
00:34:54substitute
00:34:54there's a lot
00:34:55of people
00:34:56wondering why
00:34:56he's brought
00:34:57back
00:34:57the boy
00:34:58Engels comes
00:34:58on and I'm
00:34:59still
00:34:59and I got
00:35:00pelters for it
00:35:01last season
00:35:02when I said I
00:35:03don't know what
00:35:03he does
00:35:03I just
00:35:04I mean there
00:35:04are too many
00:35:05people that are
00:35:06failures
00:35:06and he throws
00:35:07on a 34
00:35:08year old winger
00:35:08in James
00:35:09Forest to try
00:35:10and get
00:35:10something out
00:35:10of them
00:35:11moving forward
00:35:11I mean
00:35:12everybody's
00:35:12criticising the
00:35:13front three
00:35:14I think a big
00:35:15miss for Celtic
00:35:15at this particular
00:35:16time is Greg
00:35:17Taylor
00:35:17I think you
00:35:19appreciate what
00:35:20Greg Taylor
00:35:21brought to that
00:35:21team
00:35:21you know
00:35:22everything he
00:35:23did
00:35:23you know
00:35:23moving up
00:35:24into the
00:35:24opposition
00:35:2518 yard
00:35:26box
00:35:26quality balls
00:35:27into the
00:35:27box
00:35:28you know
00:35:28they're not
00:35:29getting that
00:35:29for that
00:35:30side
00:35:30and you're
00:35:30right
00:35:31the question
00:35:31is
00:35:31we obviously
00:35:33Tierney
00:35:33is what
00:35:34is going
00:35:34on
00:35:34yeah
00:35:35there's a
00:35:35point here
00:35:36from Maestro
00:35:37who says
00:35:37if Scales
00:35:38was a good
00:35:40passer of the
00:35:40ball
00:35:40he'd be
00:35:41well
00:35:41in his words
00:35:42really good
00:35:43I paraphrased
00:35:45there and
00:35:45changed the
00:35:45language
00:35:46but nevertheless
00:35:46I understand
00:35:48where Maestro
00:35:48is coming
00:35:49from
00:35:49there's one
00:35:50boy that I
00:35:51think is
00:35:51exempt
00:35:53from
00:35:54Celtic's best
00:35:55player
00:35:55he's been
00:35:55Celtic's best
00:35:56player as a
00:35:56defender
00:35:57he can't
00:35:57pass the
00:35:58ball to
00:35:58Celtic players
00:35:58going that
00:35:59way
00:35:59because his
00:36:00distribution
00:36:00is woeful
00:36:01Alec has
00:36:02played many
00:36:02a time
00:36:03and you
00:36:04used to
00:36:04say it at
00:36:04the sixes
00:36:05every now
00:36:05and then
00:36:05just to
00:36:06annoy some
00:36:06players
00:36:06when you'd
00:36:07go
00:36:07just leave
00:36:07him on
00:36:08it
00:36:08but that's
00:36:14exactly what
00:36:15teams are
00:36:15saying
00:36:15leave him
00:36:16on it
00:36:16he'll give
00:36:17you the
00:36:17ball back
00:36:17but defending
00:36:18I think
00:36:19Liam Scales
00:36:20has been
00:36:20Celtic's best
00:36:20player
00:36:21I think
00:36:21he's been a
00:36:22revelation
00:36:22since he
00:36:22came in
00:36:23at one point
00:36:24they looked
00:36:24as if he
00:36:24were going
00:36:24to sell
00:36:25him to
00:36:25Aberdeen
00:36:25and then
00:36:26he's won
00:36:27numerous
00:36:27titles
00:36:27since that
00:36:28Peter I
00:36:29think he
00:36:29does
00:36:29brilliant
00:36:30I think
00:36:30he's very
00:36:30committed
00:36:31to the
00:36:31cause
00:36:31he understands
00:36:32what Celtic's
00:36:33all about
00:36:33as well
00:36:34which is
00:36:34a big
00:36:35bonus
00:36:35because
00:36:35if you've
00:36:36got players
00:36:37in there
00:36:37who know
00:36:37and he can
00:36:39always improve
00:36:39I think
00:36:40attribution
00:36:41is
00:36:41absolutely
00:36:42I played
00:36:43with big
00:36:43Marvin Andrews
00:36:44and people
00:36:44used to
00:36:45think
00:36:45he wasn't
00:36:46particularly
00:36:46great with
00:36:47his feet
00:36:47but there
00:36:48was times
00:36:49I remember
00:36:50the famous
00:36:50quote
00:36:50where he
00:36:50asks you
00:36:51McPherson
00:36:51oh
00:36:51not the
00:36:52man
00:36:52you want
00:36:52on the
00:36:53ball
00:36:53and he
00:36:53drops it
00:36:53into Big
00:36:54Dadle
00:36:54Proust
00:36:54and he
00:36:54gets the
00:36:55winner
00:36:55so you
00:36:56know
00:36:56he can
00:36:57improve
00:36:57in that
00:36:57aspect
00:36:58as well
00:36:59you have to
00:36:59look at the
00:37:00centre-halves
00:37:00that Celtic
00:37:01have brought
00:37:01in and the
00:37:02money they've
00:37:02paid for
00:37:02and they're
00:37:03not there
00:37:03now
00:37:04but he is
00:37:05I don't know
00:37:06if I'm not
00:37:07being scurrilous
00:37:08about this
00:37:08I am almost
00:37:10certain
00:37:10that
00:37:11Cameron Carter
00:37:13Vickers
00:37:13is playing
00:37:14through the
00:37:14pain barrier
00:37:15I just think
00:37:16he just looks
00:37:18as if he's
00:37:18carrying something
00:37:19and we're not
00:37:20being told
00:37:20about it
00:37:21because he
00:37:21is a player
00:37:23that when he's
00:37:23fit
00:37:24he looks
00:37:24as if he
00:37:25coasts it
00:37:25and he is
00:37:26there's something
00:37:27not right
00:37:27I've never been
00:37:29a centre-half
00:37:30I don't know
00:37:30how a centre-half
00:37:30think
00:37:31but I think
00:37:31he's struggling
00:37:32a wee bit
00:37:33as well
00:37:33because the
00:37:34Celtic
00:37:34full-backs
00:37:34are not
00:37:35the regular
00:37:36full-backs
00:37:36the good
00:37:37first-team
00:37:38backs
00:37:38so that would
00:37:39be a bonus
00:37:40for him
00:37:40just out of
00:37:41curiosity
00:37:41Ruffy
00:37:42there's a big
00:37:42meeting with
00:37:43the Celtic
00:37:43fans
00:37:44representatives
00:37:45to the
00:37:46board
00:37:46this was
00:37:49a rather
00:37:49disturbing
00:37:50we've just
00:37:51edited out
00:37:51the bad
00:37:52language on
00:37:52it
00:37:52but this
00:37:53was a
00:37:54disturbing
00:37:54sign
00:37:55saying
00:37:56more or
00:37:57less to
00:37:58hell with
00:37:58the meeting
00:37:58resign
00:37:59and whoever
00:38:00it was
00:38:01they managed
00:38:01to get it
00:38:01just under
00:38:02the board
00:38:03how they
00:38:03managed to
00:38:04tape that
00:38:04to them
00:38:05was absolutely
00:38:05priceless
00:38:06but nevertheless
00:38:07there are still
00:38:08some fans
00:38:09who are
00:38:09absolutely
00:38:10seething
00:38:11at this
00:38:11board
00:38:12and they
00:38:14want
00:38:14change
00:38:15in strategy
00:38:15change
00:38:16in the
00:38:16blueprint
00:38:17change
00:38:17in the
00:38:18ambition
00:38:18and maybe
00:38:19some
00:38:19board
00:38:20members
00:38:20removed
00:38:21I think
00:38:22they'll get
00:38:22diddly
00:38:23squat out
00:38:23of that
00:38:23they might
00:38:24get a
00:38:24token pat
00:38:25on the
00:38:25head
00:38:25and a
00:38:25voucher
00:38:27for a
00:38:27quenchy
00:38:27cup
00:38:28and a
00:38:28kit kat
00:38:28but they'll
00:38:29get nothing
00:38:29else
00:38:29you're
00:38:30right
00:38:30they're
00:38:31not going
00:38:31to go
00:38:31anywhere
00:38:31they haven't
00:38:32gone in
00:38:32the past
00:38:33if there's
00:38:34any trouble
00:38:35at any
00:38:35particular
00:38:35club
00:38:36board
00:38:36seem to
00:38:37hang on
00:38:37in there
00:38:38and just
00:38:38ride it
00:38:39out
00:38:39and that's
00:38:40what they're
00:38:40doing
00:38:40just now
00:38:41obviously
00:38:41it would
00:38:41be
00:38:41interesting
00:38:42if you
00:38:42were at
00:38:42that
00:38:43meeting
00:38:43what kind
00:38:44of questions
00:38:44would get
00:38:44answered
00:38:45and what
00:38:45the answer
00:38:46would be
00:38:47what is their
00:38:50main gripe
00:38:50and I don't
00:38:51want to start
00:38:51naming names
00:38:52but we know
00:38:53one person
00:38:53they really
00:38:54don't want
00:38:54and it
00:38:55might be
00:38:56he might
00:38:56have to
00:38:56move
00:38:57but he
00:38:59won't
00:39:00no
00:39:00but he
00:39:01won't
00:39:01who is it
00:39:05Ruffy

00:39:05a friend
00:39:06of the
00:39:06shows
00:39:06yeah
00:39:06absolutely
00:39:07anyway
00:39:12listen
00:39:13it's well
00:39:14documented
00:39:15that they
00:39:15want to
00:39:15see the
00:39:16chairman
00:39:16Peter
00:39:16Lowell
00:39:17and
00:39:17Michael
00:39:17Nicholson
00:39:18removed
00:39:18among
00:39:18others
00:39:19it won't
00:39:20happen
00:39:2077
00:39:22million
00:39:22pound
00:39:22the
00:39:23bank
00:39:2313
00:39:23titles
00:39:24out of
00:39:24the
00:39:24last
00:39:2414
00:39:24yeah
00:39:25you know
00:39:25they've
00:39:26had a
00:39:26disastrous
00:39:27transfer
00:39:27window
00:39:28disaster
00:39:28but if
00:39:30you look
00:39:31at over
00:39:31the last
00:39:32calendar
00:39:32years
00:39:32at 40
00:39:33odd
00:39:33million
00:39:33pounds
00:39:33spent
00:39:34on the
00:39:34squad
00:39:34the
00:39:36summer
00:39:36could
00:39:36most
00:39:37certainly
00:39:37have
00:39:37been
00:39:37better
00:39:37but
00:39:3813
00:39:39titles
00:39:40out of
00:39:4014
00:39:41trebles
00:39:41you name
00:39:43it
00:39:43and then
00:39:43more importantly
00:39:44a business
00:39:45that's actually
00:39:45making money
00:39:46yes
00:39:47and so I
00:39:48think you
00:39:48know
00:39:48you have to
00:39:48step back
00:39:49as well
00:39:49and realise
00:39:50what they
00:39:50actually
00:39:51have done
00:39:51for them
00:39:52over that
00:39:52period
00:39:53they've
00:39:53really
00:39:53stabilised
00:39:54it
00:39:54and grown
00:39:54the
00:39:55business
00:39:55it's a
00:39:55very good
00:39:56point you
00:39:56make
00:39:56because I
00:39:57think you
00:39:57know
00:39:58you try
00:40:00and strike
00:40:00a chord
00:40:01of balance
00:40:02towards
00:40:03what the
00:40:04gripe is
00:40:04of the
00:40:05Celtic
00:40:05fans
00:40:05and what
00:40:06the actual
00:40:06delivery
00:40:07from the
00:40:08board
00:40:08is
00:40:08and they're
00:40:09certainly
00:40:09the envy
00:40:10of many
00:40:10a club
00:40:11across the
00:40:11UK
00:40:11because of
00:40:12the way
00:40:13they've
00:40:13gone about
00:40:13their business
00:40:14because of
00:40:15the strategy
00:40:16they adopt
00:40:17but there
00:40:19are legitimate
00:40:20concerns
00:40:20it's not just
00:40:21for this
00:40:22transfer window
00:40:22there's been
00:40:23a long
00:40:24period of
00:40:24time where
00:40:25I think
00:40:25Celtic fans
00:40:26have been
00:40:26stripped of
00:40:27ambition
00:40:28on the
00:40:28basis
00:40:29that they
00:40:29can't
00:40:29compete
00:40:30and they've
00:40:31been sold
00:40:31a narrative
00:40:31which basically
00:40:32allows the
00:40:34board at
00:40:34times to go
00:40:35through this
00:40:35situation of
00:40:36building up
00:40:36and stacking
00:40:37up cash
00:40:37and then a
00:40:38feeling which
00:40:40the manager
00:40:40has highlighted
00:40:41not us
00:40:41the manager
00:40:42has highlighted
00:40:43I'm not here
00:40:44to stand
00:40:44still
00:40:45there's a
00:40:45great result
00:40:46that we
00:40:46almost pulled
00:40:47off against
00:40:47Munich
00:40:48can I take
00:40:49it on
00:40:49will you
00:40:49back me
00:40:50and the
00:40:50answer was
00:40:51emphatically
00:40:52no
00:40:52so with
00:40:54that in
00:40:54mind I
00:40:55think that's
00:40:55why there
00:40:56will be
00:40:56interesting
00:40:56conversations
00:40:57but what
00:40:58comes out
00:40:58of it
00:40:58only time
00:41:00will tell
00:41:01so that's
00:41:01Celtic get
00:41:01the 3-2 win
00:41:02over
00:41:03Motherwell
00:41:03and great
00:41:04credit to
00:41:04Motherwell
00:41:04Stamatlopoulos
00:41:05scored two
00:41:07goals
00:41:07eventually went
00:41:08off injured
00:41:08but we'll
00:41:09look and see
00:41:10if he makes
00:41:11the team of the
00:41:11week
00:41:12Hearts 1
00:41:13Hibs 0
00:41:13I actually
00:41:15said to
00:41:15you on
00:41:15Friday
00:41:16that's
00:41:16what was
00:41:16going to
00:41:17happen
00:41:17but you
00:41:18didn't
00:41:19believe me
00:41:19you and
00:41:20your Hibs
00:41:21Column
00:41:21and your
00:41:21Hibs
00:41:22mates
00:41:22and your
00:41:23former
00:41:23Hibs
00:41:24players
00:41:24but
00:41:25nevertheless
00:41:26it was
00:41:27sitting at
00:41:28Tynecastle
00:41:29the atmosphere
00:41:30at the start
00:41:30was absolutely
00:41:31amazing
00:41:32there was a
00:41:32brilliant display
00:41:33on the left
00:41:33hand side
00:41:34it was a
00:41:35proper derby
00:41:35do you know
00:41:36what a proper
00:41:36derby is
00:41:37a proper derby
00:41:38is when two
00:41:39sets of
00:41:39boards
00:41:40actually agree
00:41:41that there
00:41:41should be a
00:41:42full set of
00:41:42fans
00:41:43I'm going to
00:41:45ram it down
00:41:45their throats
00:41:46because the
00:41:47petty Rangers
00:41:47board and
00:41:48the petty
00:41:48Celtic board
00:41:49go tit for
00:41:50tar on it
00:41:50but it was
00:41:51a proper
00:41:51derby because
00:41:52there was a
00:41:52full side of
00:41:53Hibs fans
00:41:54there it was
00:41:54absolutely
00:41:55magnificent
00:41:55and they
00:41:56served up
00:41:56the biggest
00:41:57dogs dinner
00:41:58you've ever
00:41:58witnessed over
00:41:5990 minutes
00:42:00it was crap
00:42:00yeah I played
00:42:02in a few
00:42:03of them myself
00:42:03Peter I played
00:42:04in quite a few
00:42:04nil nils
00:42:04actually and
00:42:05I actually played
00:42:06in a 4 each
00:42:06and a 6-2
00:42:07and a 5-1
00:42:09so listen it was
00:42:10a poor game
00:42:11Peter I don't
00:42:11think the
00:42:11conditions helped
00:42:12it was pissing
00:42:13the rain
00:42:13and wind as
00:42:15well so
00:42:15it wasn't
00:42:16conducive to a
00:42:17good game of
00:42:17football
00:42:18I thought it
00:42:18was going to
00:42:18peter out to
00:42:19a nil nil
00:42:19I thought
00:42:20Hibs another
00:42:21point on the
00:42:21board it's not
00:42:22a bad result
00:42:22and then
00:42:23last kick of
00:42:24the ball
00:42:24great ball
00:42:24in great
00:42:25finish for
00:42:25Halkett
00:42:26Martin Boyle's
00:42:27got a chance
00:42:27before I thought
00:42:27Hibs were the
00:42:28better team in the
00:42:28second half
00:42:28I thought the
00:42:29first half was
00:42:29instantly forgettable
00:42:31I don't think
00:42:31anyone created
00:42:32anything
00:42:32it was terrible
00:42:33second half
00:42:35I thought Hibs
00:42:35just picked up
00:42:35a wee bit
00:42:36and looked
00:42:36the more likely
00:42:36to win it
00:42:37when you go
00:42:38into a game
00:42:39like that
00:42:39you're just
00:42:40thinking
00:42:40ok
00:42:40you'll be
00:42:41from home
00:42:42so take a
00:42:43point
00:42:43and then
00:42:44it's a
00:42:44killer
00:42:45it's a
00:42:45signal at
00:42:45the end
00:42:46when you get
00:42:48the opportunity
00:42:48obviously being a
00:42:49striker
00:42:49when you get
00:42:50an opportunity
00:42:50like Boyle did
00:42:51he has to
00:42:51finish it
00:42:52he's got to
00:42:52score
00:42:52especially in a
00:42:54tight game
00:42:54there was hardly
00:42:55any chances at
00:42:56all
00:42:56it was always
00:42:56going to be a
00:42:571-0
00:42:57if it was
00:42:58going to be a
00:42:59goal
00:42:591-0 to
00:42:59somebody
00:42:59if he scores
00:43:01that I think
00:43:01Hibs hold on
00:43:02and win the
00:43:02game
00:43:02but disappointing
00:43:04from Martin
00:43:04not to finish it
00:43:05and then they
00:43:06get done at
00:43:06the end
00:43:06the last kick
00:43:07of the ball
00:43:07so fair play
00:43:08to Harts
00:43:08for keeping
00:43:08going at the
00:43:09end
00:43:09although if
00:43:10you are
00:43:11right back
00:43:12left back
00:43:12centre half
00:43:13midfielder
00:43:14or striker
00:43:14and Curyota
00:43:15plays that
00:43:17ball in
00:43:17that he did
00:43:18what a pass
00:43:19and Craig Halker
00:43:20at the end
00:43:21said all I
00:43:22was thinking
00:43:22was just
00:43:23connect properly
00:43:25with it
00:43:26and get it
00:43:26on target
00:43:27yeah and
00:43:27listen it's
00:43:28the last kick
00:43:28of the ball
00:43:29as well
00:43:29the scenes
00:43:30were terrific
00:43:30and the
00:43:31interesting thing
00:43:32about it
00:43:32I think that's
00:43:32the fourth time
00:43:33they've scored
00:43:33an injury time
00:43:34as well
00:43:34Harts
00:43:35really late
00:43:35on so they
00:43:36have the
00:43:36desire to
00:43:37kick on
00:43:37and there's
00:43:38no time
00:43:38to recover
00:43:39but you're
00:43:40absolutely
00:43:40right
00:43:40the delivery
00:43:41is tremendous
00:43:42and I think
00:43:43David Gray
00:43:44was furious
00:43:44about not
00:43:45getting tracked
00:43:45but the
00:43:46actual ball
00:43:46is a killer
00:43:47ball because
00:43:47you're just
00:43:48dropping off
00:43:48the back
00:43:49of your
00:43:49shoulder
00:43:49and the
00:43:50connection
00:43:51that's why
00:43:52he scored
00:43:52he put his
00:43:53foot behind
00:43:54it
00:43:54back across
00:43:55goal
00:43:55and it was
00:43:55the perfect
00:43:55way to end
00:43:56it
00:43:56you could see
00:43:57Caden
00:43:58was dying
00:43:59to stick
00:43:59his foot
00:44:00on it
00:44:00but he was
00:44:01going the
00:44:01wrong way
00:44:01he was
00:44:02going towards
00:44:02the goal
00:44:02and he's
00:44:03obviously
00:44:03saying to
00:44:04yourself
00:44:04if I
00:44:04touch
00:44:05this
00:44:05this could
00:44:06go into
00:44:06the back
00:44:06of the net
00:44:07so he's
00:44:07sort of
00:44:08held back
00:44:08and hoping
00:44:09that no other
00:44:10hearts player
00:44:10would touch it
00:44:11it must be
00:44:11murder for a
00:44:11goalkeeper
00:44:12there was some
00:44:14quality balls
00:44:14getting thrown
00:44:15in
00:44:15obviously the
00:44:16conditions
00:44:16and everything
00:44:16but that's
00:44:18a killer
00:44:18and I've
00:44:19never played
00:44:19in a
00:44:20Hibs-Harts
00:44:20game
00:44:21that's been
00:44:21nothing to you
00:44:22yeah
00:44:22absolutely
00:44:22he's never
00:44:24played this
00:44:24thing
00:44:25and to be
00:44:26fair
00:44:27he's never
00:44:29actually come
00:44:29for a ball
00:44:30in an Edinburgh
00:44:31derby
00:44:31but this was
00:44:32Derek McInneson
00:44:33David Gray
00:44:34yeah there's a
00:44:35lot willing
00:44:35but there's also
00:44:36a lot
00:44:36dying for it's
00:44:38to fall flat
00:44:38on my face
00:44:39let's be honest
00:44:40there's so many
00:44:40who don't think
00:44:41there is
00:44:42anything other
00:44:44than just a
00:44:45little period
00:44:45here
00:44:45and listen
00:44:46it may well be
00:44:47that but we're
00:44:47just concentrating
00:44:48on the game
00:44:48it's only seven
00:44:49games in
00:44:49the league's
00:44:50in its infancy
00:44:50whether teams
00:44:52are doing poorly
00:44:53at the minute
00:44:53or whether teams
00:44:53are doing well
00:44:54it's far too early
00:44:55to be making
00:44:55any judgements
00:44:56on how a team
00:44:57plays
00:44:57but we'll enjoy
00:44:58it while it's
00:44:59there
00:44:59I think
00:44:59there's nothing
00:45:00wrong with
00:45:00supporters
00:45:00getting excited
00:45:01yeah
00:45:02certainly does
00:45:03unfortunately for us
00:45:05it's probably
00:45:05the story of our
00:45:06season a little bit
00:45:07talk about the game
00:45:10and go through it all
00:45:11but the reality
00:45:12situation is
00:45:13with all the good
00:45:14work you do
00:45:14for 92 minutes
00:45:15is undone in the
00:45:16last second of the game
00:45:17yeah
00:45:18he was absolutely
00:45:20gutted
00:45:21Derek
00:45:21still trying to
00:45:22keep a lid on it
00:45:23too early for title
00:45:25talk
00:45:25but
00:45:26Alec
00:45:28I have to say
00:45:30you know
00:45:31they do have
00:45:31you're talking about
00:45:32mentality
00:45:32they do have
00:45:33the mentality
00:45:34they're 11 points
00:45:36ahead of Rangers
00:45:37they've got a
00:45:38really good chance
00:45:39even seven games in
00:45:40if he can improve
00:45:42that side
00:45:42they've got a great
00:45:43chance of second
00:45:44I think for me
00:45:45it's the consistency
00:45:46if he can continue
00:45:47to win games
00:45:48and what he's trying
00:45:48to do there is
00:45:49he's trying to create
00:45:50a kind of seize
00:45:50mentality when he's
00:45:51going yeah there's
00:45:52people writing us off
00:45:53that's just so they
00:45:54unite within that
00:45:54dressing room
00:45:55but it doesn't look
00:45:56to me as if they
00:45:56need too much
00:45:57pulling together
00:45:58they look as if
00:45:58it's a squad of
00:45:59players that are
00:45:59all fighting for
00:46:00each other
00:46:00they've got options
00:46:02as well
00:46:02we spoke about
00:46:03Celtic's bench
00:46:04he's got good
00:46:05options coming off
00:46:06the bench as well
00:46:06so and again
00:46:08I believe he will be
00:46:09supported in January
00:46:11as well
00:46:11so looks good for
00:46:12Hearts going forward
00:46:13they can afford
00:46:14to get excited
00:46:15the fans
00:46:15he's got a new
00:46:16signing coming in
00:46:17in January
00:46:17he's also got
00:46:18Azu close to
00:46:19coming back
00:46:20I think he'll be
00:46:20back for the
00:46:21Comarnock game
00:46:22so you're suddenly
00:46:23looking at a side
00:46:23that's going to have
00:46:24a midfielder that
00:46:25everybody's excited
00:46:26about at Tyne Castle
00:46:27and you've got also
00:46:29the quality from the
00:46:30bench
00:46:30I don't want to
00:46:32raise their hopes
00:46:34the Hearts fans
00:46:35are staying very calm
00:46:37about it
00:46:37there's not an
00:46:38as Ali will tell you
00:46:40you need that
00:46:40competition in the
00:46:41dressing room
00:46:41you need that
00:46:42guys don't want
00:46:43to be on the
00:46:44bench
00:46:44I don't want to
00:46:44be on the
00:46:45bench every week
00:46:45I want to be
00:46:46playing
00:46:46so that's a
00:46:47bonus
00:46:48and the good
00:46:49thing about
00:46:49for us is
00:46:50every year we
00:46:51say we want
00:46:52a challenge
00:46:53somebody challenge
00:46:54the top two
00:46:55somebody do it
00:46:56give us something
00:46:56to shout about
00:46:57and I think this
00:46:58year compared to
00:46:59last year with
00:47:00Hearts with
00:47:01Hibs down the
00:47:02bottom with
00:47:02Aberdeen down the
00:47:03bottom at least
00:47:04they're making a
00:47:05fist of it
00:47:05we're discussing
00:47:06it whereas in
00:47:08the previous years
00:47:08it wasn't even a
00:47:09discussion was it
00:47:10they've got a good
00:47:11Scottish core as
00:47:11well you know the
00:47:12two centre-halves
00:47:13are solid and
00:47:14then you look at
00:47:15Shanklin is
00:47:16was he seven goals
00:47:18already he's on
00:47:19course to be the
00:47:19top striker again
00:47:20but more importantly
00:47:22the link-up play
00:47:23with him if you can
00:47:24get legs running
00:47:24about shanks
00:47:25it's a really good
00:47:27dynamic to have
00:47:28throughout the team
00:47:28you have to pay
00:47:30them the compliment
00:47:31as well
00:47:31people are wondering
00:47:33about what wins
00:47:35you the games
00:47:35good technical
00:47:36players
00:47:37players that are
00:47:37confident on the
00:47:38ball Braga lights
00:47:40up the place when
00:47:40he gets the ball
00:47:41Caryota's cross was
00:47:42absolutely something
00:47:43you'd die for
00:47:44if you've got the
00:47:46Brazilian with the
00:47:46hype that everybody's
00:47:47giving him and if
00:47:48you've got new
00:47:49signees coming in
00:47:49and if they are
00:47:51still there or
00:47:51thereabouts in
00:47:52January and
00:47:53suddenly the owner
00:47:54thinks you know
00:47:55what never mind
00:47:56the new sign I'm
00:47:56going to give you
00:47:57a few more
00:47:57yeah and you have
00:48:00to be encouraged
00:48:00you know
00:48:01again we keep
00:48:03going back to
00:48:03you look at the
00:48:04Rangers
00:48:04signings
00:48:05there's not many
00:48:06hit the ground
00:48:06running
00:48:06these guys have
00:48:07hit the ground
00:48:08running but they
00:48:08look exciting
00:48:09and as a
00:48:10Hearts fan you're
00:48:11seeing players
00:48:11driving in the
00:48:12pitch
00:48:12the boy did
00:48:13that again at
00:48:13the weekend
00:48:13drove in
00:48:14he's looking
00:48:14at the top
00:48:15corner
00:48:15that gets you
00:48:16off your seat
00:48:16it generates a
00:48:18kind of noise
00:48:20which will drive
00:48:21the team forward
00:48:21to further success
00:48:23yeah they believe
00:48:25Tam that they can
00:48:26win games even
00:48:28when they're playing
00:48:29again as we said
00:48:30not great but
00:48:31they're still able
00:48:32to go
00:48:32they've got a lot
00:48:32of light goals
00:48:33already
00:48:33it's a good sign
00:48:34yeah
00:48:34for injury time
00:48:35yeah
00:48:36obviously remember
00:48:37I put Dundee
00:48:37United
00:48:37one at
00:48:38Livingston
00:48:38so it's a good
00:48:40sign for them
00:48:40I don't think
00:48:41they're playing
00:48:41brilliant at the
00:48:42minute I think
00:48:42they've still got
00:48:43levels to go
00:48:43if you're a
00:48:44heart support
00:48:44you're thinking
00:48:44we can get
00:48:45better but

00:48:47regenerate
00:48:47confidence
00:48:48and you go
00:48:48into games
00:48:48think
00:48:49you can
00:48:49stop
00:48:49the league
00:48:49and they
00:48:50you know
00:48:50six wins

00:49:38Celtic
00:49:38game
00:49:38saying to

00:49:41beat Celtic
00:49:41they'll be
00:49:42five points
00:49:42clear
00:49:42I think
00:49:43they'll
00:49:43take
00:49:44Kilmarnock
00:49:44and I
00:49:45think

00:49:46the Celtic
00:49:47game
00:49:47at

00:49:50five points
00:49:51clear
00:49:52if Harts
00:49:52beat Celtic
00:49:53I'm dying

00:49:59how he
00:50:00fudges
00:50:00around
00:50:01about that
00:50:01one
00:50:01but
00:50:02if Celtic
00:50:05go there

00:50:18they will
00:50:18I've stuck
00:50:20my neck out
00:50:20and said
00:50:21Celtic will
00:50:21win the
00:50:21title
00:50:22because
00:50:22as you

00:50:24too much
00:50:24strength and

00:50:31that's
00:50:32one
00:50:32thing
00:50:32but
00:50:33Harts
00:50:33will
00:50:33never
00:50:33have
00:50:34a
00:50:34better

00:53:48season and we
00:53:49have to keep
00:53:49working
00:53:49in my opinion
00:53:50it wasn't a
00:53:51lack of effort
00:53:51from the
00:53:51players far
00:53:52from it
00:53:52I thought
00:53:52they ran
00:53:53hard
00:53:53many of
00:53:54them
00:53:54today
00:53:54it was
00:53:55just the
00:53:56execution
00:53:57of the
00:53:57game plan
00:53:57and ultimately
00:53:59when you don't
00:54:00execute the
00:54:01game plan
00:54:01it's on my
00:54:03head

00:54:26put
00:54:27somebody
00:54:27else
00:54:27in
00:54:27I've
00:54:28got to
00:54:28put on
00:54:28record
00:54:29fair play
00:54:30to the
00:54:30Aberdeen
00:54:30fans
00:54:31they backed
00:54:32the manager
00:54:32when they
00:54:33get thumped
00:54:33in midweek
00:54:35they were
00:54:36beaten by a
00:54:37better side
00:54:38in Shakhtar
00:54:39Donetsk
00:54:40but they
00:54:40backed
00:54:40them
00:54:40and they're
00:54:41sticking
00:54:41with them
00:54:42and the
00:54:42fans have
00:54:42been sticking
00:54:43with them
00:54:43and I
00:54:43think
00:54:43great
00:54:44credit
00:54:44to
00:54:44Aberdeen
00:54:45they
00:54:45certainly
00:54:45showed
00:54:46the way
00:54:46to stick
00:54:47with someone
00:54:47who is
00:54:48under the
00:54:49cosh
00:54:49but we
00:54:50said this
00:54:50last week
00:54:50I think
00:54:51they get
00:54:52confidence
00:54:52for the
00:54:52Shakhtar
00:54:53I thought
00:54:53the
00:54:53performance
00:54:53was really
00:54:54good
00:54:54it was
00:54:54encouraging
00:54:55it gave
00:54:56the fans
00:54:56and we
00:54:56said that
00:54:56about the
00:54:57Motherwell
00:54:57game
00:54:57the previous
00:54:58week
00:54:58we were
00:54:59saying
00:54:59there were
00:54:59signs
00:55:00that
00:55:01they hadn't
00:55:02downed
00:55:03tools
00:55:03you can
00:55:04clearly see
00:55:04that
00:55:04yesterday
00:55:05well done

00:55:12after the
00:55:122-0 win
00:55:13over
00:55:13St Mirren
00:55:14I think
00:55:16it puts
00:55:17us in a
00:55:17decent
00:55:17place
00:55:18but I
00:55:18need to
00:55:18remind
00:55:19everybody
00:55:19it's
00:55:19only one
00:55:19game
00:55:20of

00:55:20so
00:55:20we
00:55:21come
00:55:21into
00:55:21the
00:55:21game

00:55:22obviously

00:55:29add a
00:55:29wee bit
00:55:29into that
00:55:30as well
00:55:30but I
00:55:31probably

00:55:49balls
00:55:49you're playing
00:55:50on a horrible
00:55:50pitch
00:55:51horrendous
00:55:52weather

00:55:53played it
00:55:53much better
00:55:54than us
00:55:54they went
00:55:54longer
00:55:55anytime they
00:55:56got it

00:56:01goals
00:56:01when we
00:56:02had possession
00:56:02of the ball
00:56:03we didn't
00:56:04penetrate
00:56:05we went
00:56:05round and
00:56:06round
00:56:06which we
00:56:07work on
00:56:07to move
00:56:08them and
00:56:09then get
00:56:09down the
00:56:10sides of
00:56:10people
00:56:10so everything
00:56:10we're good

00:56:14got a
00:56:16wee taste
00:56:16of them
00:56:16too many
00:56:17times
00:56:17but
00:56:18nevertheless
00:56:18they're
00:56:19third in
00:56:19the table

00:56:23night of
00:56:23the way
00:56:24and then
00:56:24beaten
00:56:24St Mernet
00:56:24home
00:56:25who knocked
00:56:25them out
00:56:25the cup
00:56:26so I had
00:56:26done a
00:56:26sweet one
00:56:27for the
00:56:27manager
00:56:28and the
00:56:28players
00:56:28but
00:56:28a wee bit
00:56:29of a surprise
00:56:30package
00:56:30I think
00:56:30I wasn't
00:56:31sure what
00:56:31you'd expect
00:56:32for them
00:56:32this season
00:56:32under Stuart
00:56:33Kettlewell
00:56:34but they've
00:56:34started really
00:56:34well
00:56:35yeah
00:56:35absolutely
00:56:36United won
00:56:37Livingston
00:56:37one
00:56:38here's
00:56:38Jim Goodwin
00:56:39and David
00:56:39Martindale
00:56:40I felt
00:56:40when we
00:56:41got the
00:56:41equaliser
00:56:41we were
00:56:42very much
00:56:43in the
00:56:43ascendancy
00:56:44and I
00:56:44felt that
00:56:45if anyone
00:56:46was going
00:56:46to go
00:56:46and win
00:56:47the game
00:56:47I felt
00:56:47it was
00:56:48going to
00:56:48be
00:56:48ourselves
00:56:48but
00:56:49definitely
00:56:50we feel
00:56:51as if
00:56:51it's
00:56:51a couple
00:56:52of points
00:56:52dropped
00:56:52I think
00:56:53every game
00:56:55away from
00:56:56home is a
00:56:56positive
00:56:57point
00:56:57so if you
00:56:58can pick
00:56:58up points
00:56:59away from
00:56:59home
00:56:59I've been
00:57:00here before
00:57:00away from
00:57:02everybody
00:57:02will say
00:57:02away from

00:57:03woeful
00:57:03for a
00:57:04club
00:57:04of our
00:57:04size
00:57:05but it's
00:57:05kind of
00:57:05normal
00:57:06that's
00:57:07how the
00:57:07games are
00:57:08it's
00:57:08difficult
00:57:09every team
00:57:09is better
00:57:10at home
00:57:10and every
00:57:12game has
00:57:13become more
00:57:13difficult
00:57:13because of
00:57:14that
00:57:14but if
00:57:15you kind
00:57:15of throw
00:57:15in the
00:57:16conditions
00:57:16I think
00:57:17you could
00:57:17say it
00:57:18was a
00:57:18positive
00:57:19point
