00:00.
00:10Chris just one second, we've just gone to television, welcome to viewers who have joined us on BBC One Scotland.
00:15As you can hear it's another crazy busy afternoon in Scottish football, no shortage of drama.
00:20Rory Loy and Richard Foster alongside me here in the studio, let's take you on a journey around the grounds.
00:26Let's start with that big game at Ibrox, Billy Dodds is here for us and we've just barely seen an equaliser for the wayside.
00:32Yeah and you could feel it coming, although Rangers were a brilliant first half should have been miles ahead,
00:37but they were through, up 1-0 through a brilliant goal from Asgard.
00:41In the second half, yeah they were probing but United were starting to grow in stature
00:44and then suddenly Trapanovski picks up the ball on the left hand side, cuts in, hits a low shot into the far corner
00:51and United are right back in it, 1-1 at Ibrox.
00:54Yeah Billy, you said so much more energy, particularly in the first half from Rangers this afternoon,
00:58there's so many chances here but United hung in and well done to them.
01:02And United are through it, oh!
01:03I'll tell you what, Moeller just gets, well Jack Buckland just gets here before Moeller
01:07but yeah, the Rangers were a great first half crowd by getting right behind them,
01:11a lot of energy, good movement, fast passing and off the ball there was a press as well,
01:16they were going about their business off the ball but it dropped a little bit in the second half,
01:20maybe a bit of tiredness, Creakman but United have capitalised on that and taken advantage
01:25and Rangers now making a substitution, Cermiti is going to come on.
01:29I've just seen Stevie Smith say to Cermiti two up top.
01:32Two up top, I mean it's a remarkable return around to this game isn't it Rory?
01:36Yeah, it is, I mean Rangers were fantastic in the first half, I just think with the poor start to the season
01:41a little bit of anxiety has crept in the second half, along with the fact that Dundee United have fixed their problems
01:46and looked much better in this second half.
01:48Yeah, so game on there at Ibrox, Rangers looked to be in control but fair play to United right back in that one.
01:55Let's get to the game in pace that we heard from Chris Doolan just as we come on to television there.
02:01St Mirren home to Aberdeen, what's happening Chris?
02:03It's really NTN now Kenny, apologies for talking over the top of you.
02:07There's real excitement I think from around the ground.
02:11Both teams breaking and I think I spoke earlier in the game about closing off the middle of the pitch.
02:16That just seems to have been thrown to the side now for both sides.
02:19The middle of the pitch is wide open and it's almost a case of basketball at one end to the other end
02:24but it's exciting, there's a lot happening now and it's whoever can manage the game probably
02:29from now to the end that might get that chance.
02:32Yeah, so to the two guys in the studio, you want to see a replay of that goal that was chopped off or something
02:38and you're not convinced.
02:39Yeah, just because it's obviously subjective, we don't know how much interference that actually is.
02:44Goal! But this will be ruled out surely for handball.
02:47Right, okay, so Alan Preston is a third part, let's get there.
02:51Motherwell against Falker, Alan.
02:52Yeah, Stan Matalopoulos has just put the ball in the back of the net.
02:54It's a shot from Max Winisey, it's saved by Scott Bain,
02:57but for me it breaks off his hand and he knocks the ball in the back of the net.
03:01Yeah, to be fair Alan, none of them are really celebrating, are they?
03:04I think it's almost like they know.
03:05He's going to wait and see, but it's been a really good game, Kenny.
03:08It's a rerun of Motherwell v Dundee early on for Motherwell.
03:11First half they totally dominated, they were brilliant.
03:13Now the goal disallowed after a Varchek, Saeed's goal, but there was a foul in the build-up.
03:18Then they took the lead in 22 minutes, really good team move.
03:21Max Winisey it was who curled the ball into the back of the net,
03:24and you think, you've got to go on and get a few more goals.
03:26Fall Cup not really in in that opening 45 minutes.
03:29But all credit to John McGlynn, they've come out second half,
03:32got a really good equaliser, ball to the back post.
03:35McKeever knocks it down, there's Calvin Miller, really good finish with his right foot.
03:38And that goal has been disallowed, so it's 1-1 with 73 minutes in the clock.
03:42I think Stevie McLean gave that at the time, didn't he?
03:44He gave the handball.
03:46Yeah, he just checked it.
03:48But it's so frustrating, isn't it Rory, for the Motherwell fans?
03:51They're loving it, a lot of our pundits are loving the football that they play,
03:55but they're not getting the points that their play for large parts deserve.
03:58Yeah, and again, you've got to give Falkirk a bit of credit coming into it in the second half,
04:02but Motherwell were doing enough in that first half to have scored two or three goals.
04:06And then, you know, they want to continue to play the way they're playing,
04:09and Falkirk have found an answer to it.
04:11So, you know, if Plan A's not working, I'm not saying you shell the ball up the pitch,
04:16but you can be a little bit more pragmatic at times in trying to get a result.
04:20Because I think results will start to come into focus
04:23the more points they drop from winning positions.
04:26Just to go back, Richard, to that game in Paisley.
04:28So St Mern thought they had the opening goal through Alex Gogets.
04:31There was a long VAR check, so the SFA guidance for clarification.
04:34The disallowed goal at St Mern was for offside.
04:36This was subjective, as it was a challenge
04:39and required the referee to go to the monitor.
04:41And you're saying you want another look at that.
04:42Yeah, I think, you know, they've obviously got a far better view than we do here.
04:47It's just whether, you know, how much interference there actually is.
04:51But, you know, they've called it at the time.
04:53I think the keeper's complaining at the time, I think.
04:56And they've seen it and they've looked at it.
04:58And, you know, we can't really argue with that
05:00because we don't have a good enough view to challenge it.
05:04It would be interesting to see it again.
05:06What a save.
05:07It's a one-on-one.
05:08He's through.
05:09I mean, it's getting naughty for Rangers now because...
05:12Oh, you know!
05:13Oh, my word!
05:14Do you think?
05:15See, little Asgard's goal was good.
05:16What a goal.
05:17And I'll tell you what, Rory, you mentioned him.
05:19He's been unbelievable second half.
05:21Craig Sibold, he's marked Raskan.
05:23And then he has just hit a wonder strike.
05:26It is 2-1 Dundee United.
05:28What a goal.
05:29Jack Buckland led with no chance with a left-foot rocket.
05:32I mean...
05:34It's a wonder strike.
05:36But, you know, it comes from Dundee United being better in the game.
05:39They're higher up the pitch.
05:40They turn the ball over.
05:41They keep the ball for a few passes.
05:43And, I mean, as a defender, you're almost letting them shoot from there.
05:46You're almost saying, well, go and then hit it.
05:48And he just absolutely whips it right into the top corner of his left foot.
05:51Fantastic technique.
05:53He tries a pass through.
05:55He's through on goals.
05:56A good save from Butland.
05:57There's a good little touch in midfield.
06:00I mean, there's not a lot of players around it.
06:02But that is an outrageous goal.
06:04Do you still think they can wait a month on a manager?
06:06Good point, Alan.
06:07How did it be earlier in the programme?
06:08When all the team...
06:09Obviously, Hearts have been away.
06:11Hebs, Dundee, United, Rangers have all been away.
06:13But when all the other clubs, the so-called bigger clubs,
06:16have been in the top flight,
06:17nobody's really split Celtic and Rangers.
06:19This could be an opportunity for a club to go and...
06:22I still think certainly could win the league,
06:23but there's certainly an opportunity for other clubs to finish second.
06:25I agree with you, Alan.
06:26And was Derek McInnes not the last manager to do it against...
06:28Oh, a chance for St Mirren.
06:30Yeah, I mean, listen,
06:31we had a good debate on this a few weeks ago,
06:33and it was an interesting one,
06:34and the feeling was that Hearts could do something special this season.
06:37Full courage of Hearts away at Camara tonight.
06:395.45 start.
06:40All the action on BBC Radio Scotland.
06:43A big goal in the Championship.
06:45An equaliser for Morton away at United Cammy Ballantyne
06:48with that goal on 76 minutes.
06:51Just confirmation.
06:52Absolute belter from Craig Sibble there for Dundee United.
06:55They are chewing up away at Rangers.
06:57A huge United support away there in the corner.
06:59Absolutely nuts.
07:00What a comeback from Jim Goodwin and his players there.
07:04Let's get back to the game in Pays.
07:06It seems to be end-to-end stuff there.
07:08Chris Doolan.
07:09Yeah, it's a brilliant second half, Kenny.
07:11I think that feeling was always there.
07:13It was just, it needed something to spark the game into life.
07:16But it really has been end-to-end.
07:18And I mentioned about closing the middle of the pitch,
07:19and that's all gone.
07:20Both sides are structurally very, very good.
07:23But they are creating chances now.
07:25St Mirren just brought forward there.
07:27Declan John is in the box as a wing-back.
07:29They are committing bodies forward.
07:31Both sides are trying to get that goal.
07:33Because three points in a fixture like this is massive.
07:36Right, let's get to the game at Easter Road.
07:39Hibbs at home to Livingston.
07:40Kevin Thompson is there for us.
07:42And fairly straightforward for the home side there, Kev.
07:44Yeah, they've been terrific in the second half, Kenny.
07:46They really have.
07:47They come for the jugular, right through the off.
07:48Got that second goal for the spot.
07:50Livingston have run the changes all of six.
07:52We hear that one was for concussion at half-time.
07:54I don't know if it might have been Danny Wilson.
07:56Obviously, being the captain,
07:57you'd think that there might be potentially
07:59something up with him to come off.
08:01Cleggie has been absolutely fantastic all afternoon.
08:04He's just made way just recently for Martin Boyle and Hoylet.
08:07With Bowie obviously being the other one to be replaced.
08:09But in cruise control, really, I think Dave will only be a wee bit anxious
08:12if Livingston managed to steal something out of nothing.
08:14And they almost did with Andrew Shinney there for a throw
08:17and deep in the right channel.
08:19Just a bit of imagination.
08:20Pops it around the corner for himself off his chest
08:22and hits it a left foot.
08:24But I have to say, Salinger in goals,
08:26hardly really made a save.
08:27A long one for Robbie Muirhead.
08:28Probably all the best part of 30-35 yards.
08:31But apart from that, he's had a watchful afternoon.
08:34I think, Chris, I don't know if this will be looked at.
08:37I think the St Mirren player actually kicks out here.
08:40Is that Richardson down the right-hand side?
08:42He gets fouled, definite fouled to Booker.
08:44But as he falls over, he just lifts his leg there.
08:47Oh, there, yeah.
08:48That's a red card.
08:49You give a red there?
08:50Yeah.
08:51He knows what he's doing.
08:52You can see the Aberdeen players in pain.
08:54It's ridiculous to challenge like that.
08:58You know, you've got the foul.
08:59You've got the Aberdeen player booked.
09:00I know you're annoyed, but just get up and get on with it
09:02because I think he'll go for this.
09:04Goal!
09:05Right, Alan Preston.
09:06And he's done it.
09:07He's turned it around and it's Arfield again.
09:09Wow.
09:10For Falkirk.
09:11Honestly, Murrow must be kicking themselves.
09:13But all credit to Falkirk.
09:14It's a great finish from him.
09:16Arfield drops to him in the box.
09:17Right foot, half volley, bottom corner.
09:19He's away to celebrate.
09:20Brilliant turnaround for Falkirk.
09:22They lead now by two goals to one.
09:24A week on week, Kenny Falkirk could be just fine.
09:27You've been saying that, Rory.
09:28Scott Arfield, who takes up a Scott Arfield position.
09:31I mean, middle of the box, edge of the box, and then that controlled,
09:36getting his head over the ball, on the volley, putting it in the corner.
09:39And, I mean, you could not have seen this at half-time.
09:42Motherwell will be getting a standing ovation after 40 minutes.
09:44They're now 2-1 down.
09:45I mean, some of the turnarounds this afternoon have been incredible.
09:48And also, we should say, Richard, we should point people to sports scene this evening.
09:51BBC Scotland, 7-15.
09:53I'm thinking of Cleegee's goal.
09:54I'm thinking of Asgard's goal.
09:55I'm thinking of Sybil's goal.
09:56I'm not a lot of quality today.
09:58Yeah, there has been.
09:59Cause you're absolutely right.
10:00He's been called over now.
10:01Yeah.
10:02All right, okay, I'll get back to that in a minute.
10:03Right.
10:04I think he goes.
10:05Right, bar checking pays then.
10:06Richard Foster spotted that one right away here in the studios.
10:08The referee has been called over, Chris.
10:10This is probably only going to mean one thing, isn't it?
10:12He handed out three yellow cards.
10:15Richardson was yellow carded.
10:17And before they've taken the free kick now, he's been called over to the monitor.
10:21So I think it can only probably mean one thing.
10:24But we'll soon see.
10:25It's on the far side from where I'm actually sitting.
10:27But it must be four yards in front of the linesman.
10:29It's madness.
10:30The referee's right there as well.
10:32Ah, well, it's right in front of the officials.
10:34And I think it can only be one outcome here.
10:38Aye.
10:39It's just madness.
10:40Steven Robertson will be absolutely fizzing at the end of this game.
10:42We'll bring you a reaction, of course, on BBC Radio Scotland.
10:45So the referee overlooking the screen.
10:47We've got all the pictures coming into the studio here from the games around the country.
10:50We'll go to the championship game.
10:52Chick Young is here for us in a couple of minutes' time.
10:54But we'll just wait for this, I think, inevitable decision through Paisley.
10:58The referee is having a look.
11:00So you can talk us through this one.
11:01Chris Doolin?
11:02Yeah, it looks as if he's going to go for it.
11:05He's reaching into his pocket now.
11:07And he's taking out the red card.
11:09Yeah.
11:10You gave him a yellow card initially, obviously, to allow it to be checked.
11:15It was checked relatively quickly.
11:17And Lloyd, the referee, was only at the monitor for maybe 60 seconds.
11:23As if it was an easy decision to make.
11:25So, as Boz said, it was on the far side from me.
11:29I mean, it's a clear foul on Richardson.
11:31He's clearly pulled back.
11:32But I didn't see him throw his leg up.
11:34But the referee, clearly having checked the monitor, thought it was a straight red card.
11:38Yeah, 100%.
11:39And, you know, it's pretty sore getting kicked with the studs wherever it is in your body.
11:44In that area of the body, it is, yeah, it's dangerous as well.
11:48It's very sore.
11:49So it's the right decision.
11:50It's a stupid, stupid foul thing for Richardson to do.
11:53Because he's got the foul.
11:55He's got the Aberdeen player booked.
11:56They've got a free kick.
11:57They're good at set plays.
11:59They've got a chance to load the blocks.
12:01I mean, they still take the free kick, but they're down to ten minutes.
12:04They offer the apology to his teammates at the end of the game when they change.
12:06You know, Foz?
12:07Been there, Rory.
12:08Goal.
12:09Right, goal somewhere.
12:11Goal.
12:12Yeah, East the Road.
12:13East the Road.
12:14Now three.
12:15Game set match for the Hybies.
12:16Brilliant ball for Caden out on the right.
12:18It's actually been starved probably for the last ten minutes.
12:21It's just fizzled out.
12:22But Junior Hoyler, he gets up brilliant.
12:24Don't know who he gets across, but it's a brilliant ball for Caden.
12:27To the right, whipped in, right in between the sticks.
12:30In the middle of the six yard box.
12:32Junior Hoyler.
12:33Not had much involvement since he come on, but leaps well.
12:35Probably getting Heather into the far corner of the net.
12:373-0 Hybies.
12:39Yeah, Ken, we spoke earlier on what the problem was with Heather this season.
12:42Just too many draws for David Gray's liking.
12:44What's looked different today?
12:45Albeit, I think you'd have to say, a very much under par performance from the away side.
12:49Yeah, I don't think Davey will be too pleased when we listen to his post-match stuff.
12:55But they've just really been poor, Livingston.
12:57They've looked a wee bit all over the shot.
12:58I thought they would be really hard to beat.
13:00I thought they would be bundles of energy, but they've not really.
13:03Hibbs, to be fair to them, started terrifically well in the second half.
13:07They could have been two or three within the first five, ten minutes.
13:10The penalty obviously comes early on, but they've just really assured.
13:13The back three, they've never really been tested, Kenny.
13:16You know, when you've got the experience of Grant Hanley in there as a three,
13:19it's hardly hard to make a Heather, really.
13:20He just marshalled.
13:21He's shuffled side to side.
13:23It's been a relatively easy afternoon, and the goalkeeper's hardly touched the ball.
13:26Right, so in the Premiership, just approaching full-time,
13:30it is Hibbs 3, Livingston 0, Motherwell 1, Falkup 2,
13:33Rangers 1, Dundee United 2.
13:35Rangers were 1-0 up there at half-time.
13:37St Mirren 0, Aberdeen 0, Saints down to ten men.
13:405, 45 start.
13:42Kilmarnock at home, two hearts.
13:44Let's get into the Championship then and get to the game at Fairhill.
13:47We have Partick Thistle at home to Ross County.
13:50Let's hear from Chick Young.
13:51In some game it is as well.
13:53Partick Thistle lead by a goal to nil.
13:55Came from, excuse me, Oyssen-Smith after 59 minutes.
13:58He started the move, swung it left.
14:00Logan Chalmers made a magnificent run to the edge of the box
14:03and took it first time to put Thistle ahead.
14:06The league table as we stand, Kenny, very interesting indeed
14:10because Ross County have plummeted to second bottom of the table.
14:14They are now 16 points behind leader St Johnston
14:17who in turn are only three points ahead of the Jags playing in front of me
14:22and Partick Thistle have a game in hand.
14:25There's a booking there actually for taking too long over the throw in.
14:29It's Paddy Redding who's been given the yellow card against him
14:33and then actually the throw in has gone to Ross County.
14:37It's a right good second half this, I'm telling you.
14:40I think Thistle have a grip on the game.
14:42Massive win from them if they can hang on.
14:44Oyssen-Smith's goal is the difference at the moment.
14:47It is Partick Thistle one, Ross County nil.
14:50Yeah, it's a real concern.
14:51It's got to be a real concern.
14:52Roger, you play for both these clubs of course.
14:54Partick Thistle, a lot of plays for the style of play under Mark Wilson.
14:57He's got them really doing well despite that opening day horrific score.
15:00And of course up at St Johnston, the 5-1 there.
15:03But you look at them going very well.
15:05Perhaps you have more points on the board.
15:07Ross County, what a story is developing there.
15:10Yeah, I think it just shows you the confidence in a squad, confidence in a team.
15:15Because even though they've got the new managers going,
15:17they were a bit low, they were a bit flat.
15:19And sometimes, you know, we always talk about that little bounce
15:22that teams get from a new manager going in,
15:24but it doesn't always happen.
15:26The Championship, as we know, is a very, very competitive league.
15:30It's not easy.
15:31The amount of teams that go down and then struggle to come back up.
15:34It was never going to be an easy task for County to come back up.
15:37But the way they've started is a real surprise to most of us, I think.
15:40Because when you see a team...
15:42And I know we talked earlier about maybe sending too many older players.
15:45But when you see that experience,
15:47you think that's going to be enough to get them through.
15:49But the way it's going just now,
15:51they need to do something a little bit different
15:53because they're not getting the results.
15:55You know, they're not going to get promoted.
15:57They might...
15:58Playoffs is the only hope for them now.
16:00Especially with the way Thistle are playing.
16:03And I know St Johnson are losing today, but...
16:05It is a real worry.
16:07But let's be honest, you probably couldn't have two better coaches to try and find a way out of this.
16:14Both have worked with both.
16:15Both brilliant in terms of on the training pitch.
16:18Both brilliant in terms of motivation and building confidence for teams.
16:22So I think they've got the right people in place to help them.
16:25But it's going to be a real tough turnaround for them.
16:27Another big goal in the championship.
16:29United back in front at home to Morton.
16:31Ben Dempsey on 87 minutes.
16:32They've been in good form of late.
16:34Scott Brownside.
16:35Do not write them off in terms of that title race.
16:38Let's get back to the game at Ibrox.
16:40Billy Dodge is there for us.
16:42Billy, quite a remarkable turnaround there.
16:44Yeah, it is.
16:45And it's all credit to Dundee United, you have to say.
16:48They've made changes.
16:49They've put Sybil on Rasca and then that disappeared.
16:52Now Rangers have gone a two in midfield with two strikers.
16:54And they can't get near the ball.
16:56Chimiti did have a chance.
16:57A minute ago, Kenny, where a cross came in from Magoma.
17:00And he glanced at wide in the post.
17:02He got a corner but couldn't keep it going.
17:04But United look pretty comfortable in the game now.
17:09Because Rangers are a 4-4-2.
17:11And United have used their extra man in midfield pretty well.
17:14Although Rangers on the break.
17:15Mikey Moore down the right.
17:17He's cut in Kenny.
17:18He's laid it back.
17:19Tavernier!
17:202-2!
17:23From nowhere!
17:24It's incredible.
17:26They look comfortable.
17:27I was saying it, but then...
17:28I'll tell you what.
17:29The standard of the goal in this game has been brilliant.
17:31Mikey Moore gets down the right-hand side.
17:33Does well to hold his man off.
17:34Lays it back.
17:35Tavernier comes to the rescue
17:37and whips in an absolute beauty.
17:39It's Rangers 2, Dundee United 2.
17:42Yeah, and it's going to be an interesting
17:43last couple of minutes.
17:44Because Dundee United will be disappointed,
17:46but they've played really well in this second half.
17:49They wouldn't rule out going up on the other end
17:51and getting a goal.
17:52But at the same time, Rangers will be smelling blood
17:53and going out for a win.
17:54It's a good finish by Tavernier.
17:55His technique is so good.
17:56Mikey Moore showing a little bit of positivity
17:58and strength as well.
18:00And it's a good way to pass to allow him to hit it first time.
18:02I think the goalkeeper thinks he's going to whip it back across goal.
18:05He goes to the near post.
18:06Tutu.
18:07Yeah, there were big expectations when they got Mikey Moore on loan.
18:11Like the rest of the players, he's really failed to deliver,
18:13but he's looked a bit better today.
18:14So game on there in the closing stages at Ibrox.
18:17Let's get back to the game in Paisley.
18:19We brought the news a few minutes ago
18:21that the home side were down to 10 men.
18:23Are Aberdeen now in top through there, Chris?
18:26Yeah, well, you would think they would be taking advantage of it,
18:30but not necessarily so.
18:31You know, St Mirren still look like a side that can threaten
18:35a younger fired one over the bar.
18:37But you can certainly see Aberdeen with their tails up.
18:40They've just given us seven minutes of added time.
18:42I think they're about to play just as we're coming into 90 minutes now.
18:45They've added on seven, so it's a lot for St Mirren.
18:49But if there's an organised team that can see out a game,
18:51it's a team like St Mirren.
18:53But, you know, it will give Aberdeen that lift that they want
18:56given into this final seven minutes.
18:58They've got the extra man.
18:59They move them side to side, which they've done quite well.
19:02They're on the break now.
19:03Magoma's given it away.
19:05Oh, my word.
19:06Trapanovsky, what a save, Butland.
19:08He's kept a minute.
19:09Magoma, yeah, he's apologised, so he should.
19:12Sorry, Chris.
19:13I mean, it's an incredible chance for Dundee United to win it,
19:17and it's poor play from Rangers.
19:19Eventually comes to Trapanovsky, that left-hand side.
19:21He tries to reverse it.
19:22It's a really good save from Butland.
19:24I told you, Dundee United would fancy getting a winner,
19:26even though they just conceded in the last minute,
19:28because they've had so many opportunities in the second half.
19:30I've just seen there, there's Butland.
19:33That's when he makes saves like that.
19:35That's why I expect him to save Dundee United at the first goal,
19:39because he's a brilliant goalkeeper and he's a brilliant shot stopper,
19:42and he'll be annoyed at the first goal, but he's more than made up for that there.
19:46I think it might actually take a nick off a defender, so it's a fantastic save.
19:49Billy, just back to yourself.
19:51It's perhaps changed in the past couple of minutes since Tavernier got that equalised.
19:54I can see a lot of empty seats, first and foremost.
19:57It was like that when, about five, ten minutes before it,
20:01a lot of the Rangers fans started leaving,
20:03but they've missed that really good goal from Tavernier.
20:05Here's a cross!
20:06Oh, tell you, Dundee United are pushing.
20:08I'm not sure who, I think it was Moeller getting up there again,
20:11but they're having a goal, Esselenck there,
20:13another header comes in from Moeller,
20:15it's gone over the crossbar, Rangers have a chance.
20:17I wonder how much extra time to be played.
20:21Right, it looks like it's end to end there,
20:23and we can hear the atmosphere coming through.
20:24Have you two in the studio changed your minds in the debate we had earlier on
20:27regarding any potential title win over in China?
20:30The manager, if it is him, has to come here right now, Muscat?
20:34No, I think if Rangers don't win today, I think the league's over anyway.
20:36So I don't think there's a rush.
20:38The League Cup, semi-final.
20:39I know that, I get that.
20:40But I think, I go back to it,
20:42it's more important to get the right man in,
20:44or the right person in,
20:45because if you don't,
20:46then in, what, four, five, six months' time,
20:49we're in the same situation.
20:50The thing is as well, Kenny,
20:51it's not like they can go to Kevin Muscat and say,
20:53you take the job now, or it's going to go to...
20:55Who is the other person?
20:57Yeah, you're right, you're right.
20:58He holds all the aces right now.
20:59Really important point now,
21:01this guy scoring down in England, Ryan Christie,
21:03has put a 3-2 up, away at Crystal Palace.
21:07Let's get back to the game,
21:08speaking of turnarounds,
21:09an incredible turnaround, Alan Preston,
21:11in that game at Fir Park.
21:12And the problem for Model World fans is,
21:14they've seen it many, many times this season.
21:16And I've witnessed it myself,
21:17it's a total game of two halves,
21:19they were brilliant in that opening period,
21:20there's Everly going in 1-0 up,
21:22but give all the credit to John McGrunn,
21:24Paul Smith down there,
21:25they've been brilliant in the second half, Falker.
21:27A real game of it,
21:28had really good chances,
21:29scored a great goal,
21:30really, really good goal from them.
21:33Arfield volleying it into the box,
21:35but it's a free kick here for Motherwell.
21:37A really good position,
21:38it's a chance, it's just right to centre,
21:40Elliot Watts over it,
21:41you're talking about, what, 26-27 yards,
21:45we're in the added on time,
21:47we're in the 92nd minute,
21:48so here's an opportunity,
21:50but you know what,
21:51Falker have been resolute,
21:53they didn't capitulate in that opening period,
21:55they stayed in the game,
21:56and they've got their two goals,
21:58and they lead by 2-1,
21:59but here is Elliot Watts now,
22:00with his free kick,
22:01he comes and takes it.
22:02Nah, it's over the bar.
22:03Right, I'll put this to the two players in the studio.
22:05Six minutes, Kenny, before you do.
22:06Thanks, Billy.
22:07Six minutes in his time,
22:08Billy keeps updated on events at Iber,
22:10so two players in the studio here,
22:12two former players,
22:13I'm guessing I know who would be the more opinionated
22:15of the two of you in the dressing room,
22:16right?
22:17I don't know.
22:18Or maybe not, call it a wild start.
22:19I know.
22:20I think we all do.
22:21So, see if a Motherwell player right now,
22:23and this is happening week in, week out,
22:25at some point,
22:26do you go to the man and say,
22:28look, I'm loving the way we play,
22:29we're getting ahead in games,
22:31can we look at changing things?
22:32Wait a minute, is that a goal?
22:33Yeah, number four at Easter Road, Kenny.
22:35All right, back to Kevin at Easter Road.
22:37Yes, Kev.
22:38I didn't think we were going to get any more,
22:40but they just brought a real tired team, Livingston.
22:42I would just write my notes for after the game,
22:44and just a breakaway really,
22:46first effort,
22:47just deflected,
22:48then a cutback from Nicky Cadden,
22:50sorry, Chris Cadden to the right-hand side,
22:51and that man, Junior Hoylet, again,
22:53just lifts it into the roof of the net,
22:54probably for the all-besties 10-12 yards out.
22:56Game set and match at Easter Road.
22:59They have been very, very good.
23:01David Gray said you felt the need of that today,
23:03too many draws for his side this season.
23:05Right, guys, just very briefly,
23:06as a player,
23:07are you going to the manager,
23:08and can we change things?
23:09I don't, I don't,
23:10I don't think this second-half performance
23:12is the way Motherwell have played.
23:14This open, expansive way of playing
23:16hasn't caused their problems today.
23:19I just think Falkirk have been better,
23:21and the players on the pitch
23:23have made poor decisions in the second half.
23:25Right.
23:26I don't think it's anything to do with the set-up
23:27or the structure
23:28or the way the manager wants them to play,
23:29because the set-up's been exactly the same both halves.
23:32I think just Falkirk have adjusted to it,
23:34and at times,
23:35the decision-making from players on the pitch
23:37hasn't been what it needs to be.
23:39Falkirk have totally got a grip of it in the second half.
23:42John McGlynn clearly worked out
23:45that Muller were too comfortable in the middle of the park.
23:47He's put their bodies in and around
23:49to stop them from playing,
23:50and they've, in turn,
23:51got to play themselves
23:53and have scored two really good goals.
23:54Could have scored another as well.
23:56I posed the question,
23:57five minutes after Motherwell scored,
23:59you know,
24:00at what point in the game,
24:01if you're 1-0 up, 2-0 up, 3-0 up,
24:03do you become more pragmatic?
24:04I say that after five minutes,
24:05and the question still remains,
24:08because...
24:09Oh, Aberdeen have scored, Kenny.
24:10Wow.
24:11Late goal in Paisley.
24:12Chris Doolin.
24:13Fantastic goal.
24:14Lazatic has been excellent
24:16since he's came on.
24:18He's a completely different player to Kevin Nesbitt.
24:21He's threatened in behind this half as well.
24:24He gets down the side
24:25and down the back of the St. Mirren back line,
24:28does a fantastic return on the byline,
24:30and probably from six inches off the byline,
24:33bends it into the far corner.
24:35A fantastic goal,
24:37fantastic goal,
24:38and it's probably just been something that's been coming,
24:40and with that extra man,
24:42but Lazatic just shows,
24:43I spoke earlier in the game about not having that final touch
24:46or that final pass,
24:47when you have somebody with real quality in and around the box,
24:50and any team,
24:51that can be the difference in,
24:53like I say, from six yards off the byline,
24:55it's a brilliant finish.
24:56It's a beautiful turn.
24:57Yeah, fantastic.
24:58Beautiful turn,
24:59and a really good finish,
25:00and it'll bring that decision to rule St. Mirren's goal out,
25:03even into even sharper focus after the game,
25:05from Steven Robinson's point of view,
25:06but that is a goal fit to win any game.
25:08Yeah, listen,
25:09they showed great signs against indeed,
25:11just before the break,
25:12and it's been a struggle for them this afternoon.
25:14We know they're a really poor record,
25:15but actually they've got the Dons through their impays,
25:17but Lazatic has just taken his shirt off,
25:19he will of course be booked,
25:20and they are off the foot of the table now,
25:23some of the Aberdeen fans behind that goal,
25:25it was right in front of them,
25:26going on to celebrate with the players there.
25:28Stay tuned,
25:29we'll hear from Steven Robinson,
25:30really interested to hear what he's got to say
25:32about the goal from Gogic,
25:33the opening goal he thought that was chopped off.
25:35Let's get back to Ibert's closing stages there,
25:37Billy Dodds,
25:38both sides pushing for a winner.
25:40Yeah, but there have been a lot of stops as well,
25:42I think there might even be about eight minutes injury time,
25:44because Saps was down with cramp,
25:46and then Cornelius was down when Kucharenko came from a tab,
25:49Kucharenko came from a Tavernier cross,
25:51and they both stayed down,
25:53so there will be extra added on,
25:54it's 94-49,
25:56as I speak Kenny,
25:57I think there will be a bit more to go,
25:58but it's not really been end to end in the last couple of minutes,
26:01there's been stoppages.
26:02What positives, Billy,
26:04if it remains 2-2,
26:06what positives can the Rangers fans take today?
26:08Are they seeing players who are now performing a bit better,
26:11showing more potential than they were under the system
26:14under the previous manager?
26:15I think the effort's been there for the full 90,
26:17I think first half they were really good,
26:20and you could see them getting freed up Kenny,
26:24and they were really good first half,
26:27the energy's still been near second half,
26:28but they haven't quite been as good,
26:30and it's now just become,
26:31it's a boxing match,
26:32they're slugging it out against one another,
26:34these two.
26:35Right, we'll get back to Billy for the full time whistle,
26:36the full time whistle,
26:37Chris Doolin has gone in Paisley.
26:39Yeah, 97 minutes Kenny,
26:41it was, I mean I think it's 96 that the goal goes in,
26:44it's a real sucker punch for St Mirren,
26:47who put a lot into the game,
26:49I said most of the time they look the threatening side,
26:51but it just shows when you break away,
26:53you've got somebody of real quality at the top end of the pitch,
26:56in the Premier League,
26:57and we've got red cards going off to the coaching staff now as well,
27:00it's kicking off a wee bit after the game,
27:03but I think all the tempers that we've played,
27:06because of the goals that are chopped off as well.
27:08That'll be over that decision,
27:09I'd imagine Steven Robertson's watched it back.
27:11Your goals?
27:12Yeah, aye.
27:13Yeah, he was showing it,
27:14he was right in.
27:15He can't be going into the referee or that though.
27:16Aye, he was getting quite aggressive over there,
27:18the similar margin at this point.
27:19Full time, one pack,
27:20four kicker, one by two goals to one.
27:22Right, Alan Preston,
27:23you couldn't have seen,
27:24well maybe you could have seen that one coming,
27:25given what you've seen before,
27:26but certainly the balance of play in the first half,
27:28you wouldn't have seen that coming.
27:29No, not at all,
27:30Muller were excellent in that opening period,
27:32there's Everly going in 1-0 up,
27:34brilliant goal from Maswinisi,
27:35they also had another one by Saeed,
27:37ruled out after a Varchek for a foul
27:39in the middle of the parking,
27:40the build up,
27:41and you think Fallkicker just hanging in there,
27:43they go in 1-0 down,
27:44they come out the second half,
27:46John makes changes,
27:47goes right in the faces of the Muller,
27:49stops them from playing,
27:50and they get an equaliser in 57 minutes,
27:52knocked down by McKeever,
27:54and there's Calvin Muller,
27:55brilliant finish to the keeper's legs.
27:56Then they bring on the man at the moment,
27:58Scott Arfield,
27:59who's been brilliant since he's come back to them,
28:01he really has,
28:02he's shown his experience,
28:03comes off the bench,
28:04it's a ball to the back post,
28:05knocked down by Graham,
28:06and there was Arfield,
28:07half volley home,
28:08there was only 11 minutes to go,
28:09Muller could not do anything,
28:11Stanatopoulos had the ball in the back of the neck,
28:13but he did handle it,
28:14it was a shot from Maswinisi,
28:15saved by Bain,
28:16but the striker handled the ball,
28:18as he's bundling it over into the back post,
28:19it's a massive three points for John McGlynn,
28:22for the ends,
28:23Bert Alasko,
28:24he's got to,
28:25get someone to put them two goals up,
28:27three goals up,
28:28because at 1-0,
28:29all the nice pretty football,
28:30doesn't win you the game,
28:31it's been an incredible match,
28:33I thought it would be a good game,
28:34and it proved to be the case,
28:35all credit to Falkirk,
28:36brilliant three points,
28:37great away day,
28:38for a big away travelling support.
28:40Yeah, well done to John McGlynn,
28:41also a big travelling support,
28:43and pays it this afternoon,
28:44the Aberdeen players are still celebrating with them,
28:46behind that goal,
28:47in which the goal was scored there,
28:49right at the death,
28:50the 96th minute,
28:51after Saints were reduced to 10 men,
28:53and had a contentious goal,
28:55chopped off in the first half,
28:57Stephen Robbins showing a red card,
28:58right Billy Dodds,
28:59full time at Ibrox.
29:00Yeah, the whistle went a few seconds ago,
29:01it was letting Alan finish his report,
29:03it finished here at Ibrox,
29:05Rangers 2,
29:06Dundee United 2,
29:07and United put so much into it,
29:09could have won it right at the death,
29:11way beyond the 96th minute,
29:12and Kamara hit a shot,
29:13just over the crossbar,
29:15but they're away to their fans now,
29:16they've enjoyed the day,
29:18it's a really good point,
29:19could have been three,
29:20but Rangers left the route,
29:22a really good first half performance,
29:23it finished at Ibrox,
29:24Rangers 2,
29:25Dundee United 2.
29:26Plenty more reactions to come on sports,
29:28and I can also see from the pictures in the studio,
29:30Kevin Thompson,
29:31full time whistler's gone at Easter Road.
29:32Yeah, game over Kenny,
29:334-0,
29:34comfortable afternoon,
29:35a real good afternoon actually,
29:36Khalidji,
29:37the star of the show,
29:38some great goals,
29:39I hate to be disrespectful anyway,
29:41but a real poor showing for Livingston,
29:43but a real comfortable afternoon,
29:44a big win for the High Bs,
29:45because it certainly rockets them up the table.
29:47Yeah, so we'll get reaction,
29:49as I say,
29:50what sports scene tonight,
29:51that's on BBC Scotland,
29:53from 7.15,
29:54some fantastic goals,
29:55and no shortage of drama,
29:57right across Scottish football this afternoon,
30:00it's hard to know,
30:01we'll just go around the grounds in a few minutes' time,
30:03and we'll try and bring your reaction,
30:05and don't forget,
30:06there's a massive game at Rugby Park tonight,
30:09Kilmarnock at home to the league leaders' hearts,
30:11we'll bring you the team news from there just shortly,
30:13full commentary to come on BBC Radio Scotland,
30:15it's a 5.45 kick-off,
30:17Richard Foster,
30:18that game at Ibrox today,
30:21the Rangers fans give them some hope in the first half,
30:23they looked a different team,
30:24more energy,
30:25they looked very good,
30:26United were all over the place,
30:28Jim Goodwin got them in,
30:29made some changes,
30:30and in the end they could have nicked it.
30:32Yeah,
30:33and I think that possibly just highlights again,
30:35the frailty of Rangers at the moment,
30:38because no doubt they were better,
30:40they looked like they played with a bit more freedom,
30:43you know,
30:44you're talking about Asgard,
30:46the goal he scores is excellent,
30:48but it's just,
30:49he picks the ball up just inside,
30:50I think,
30:51the Dundee United half,
30:52drives after a good little bit of play,
30:53like Assam I think is in the wide area,
30:55he drives forward,
30:56cuts inside two players,
30:57and I think we would have probably seen him pass that,
31:00you know,
31:01under the last manager,
31:02he could have probably cut inside and played a pass,
31:04and they always wanted to play that extra one,
31:06but he just unleashed an absolute hammer,
31:08and right into the top corner,
31:10so I just think they played with a bit more freedom,
31:12they looked more energetic,
31:14they looked like they enjoyed the game in the first half,
31:17and then you've got to credit Dundee United,
31:18you know,
31:19Jim Goodwin is obviously similar,
31:20we'll speak about McGlynn,
31:21coming in at half-time,
31:22can you change the game,
31:23can you change the game to make it in your favour,
31:25and Goodwin done that,
31:26he got Dundee United back into the game,
31:28they were, you know,
31:29more robust in the second half,
31:30they made better chances with the quality going forward,
31:34and you rightly said,
31:36they could have probably nicked it at the end,
31:37but again,
31:38I think probably 2-2 is fair,
31:40but I think there were signs there,
31:41there were signs there for the Rangers fans,
31:43to think that it's going to be different under a new manager,
31:45I think.
31:46Welcome to listeners who are listening to that Rangers commentary,
31:49that Rangers Dundee United commentary at IBEX,
31:51what a game it was,
31:52so much late drama,
31:53well done to Dundee United,
31:54a great second half performance,
31:56almost nicked at the end,
31:57and a huge travelling support over there in the corner,
31:59going absolutely crazy,
32:01when these goals went,
32:02and we'll do the classifieds,
32:04just in a couple of minutes time,
32:05Rory,
32:06just to look at one of the other games,
32:07that's coming into the studio here,
32:08we've just seen the highlights,
32:09getting put together now,
32:10for sports in 7.15 in BBC Scotland tonight,
32:12but Hibbs,
32:13very convincing,
32:14they've not been at the brilliant best this season,
32:16but when you look at the options,
32:17David Gray has got up top,
32:19he's got so much quality.
32:20He has,
32:21and we touched on a few earlier,
32:22Junior Hoylick wasn't one I mentioned,
32:24and he pops up with two goals today,
32:26but that is a routine and comfortable win,
32:28as you'll see from Hibbs,
32:29I know Tom was saying,
32:30Livingston weren't at their best,
32:32by any stretch of the imagination,
32:33but you've still got to go and win the games,
32:35and to win 4-0 is comprehensive,
32:37by any means,
32:38so,
32:39yeah,
32:40he'll be absolutely delighted,
32:41Cleggia looked very,
32:42very good,
32:43won a penalty,
32:44scored a goal,
32:45you've got Hoylick coming off the bench,
32:46got McGrath scoring,
32:47Bowie playing his part,
32:48Hoyl coming off the bench,
32:49he's got a lot,
32:50a lot of options,
32:51and that would have been a long two weeks after that derby,
32:54waiting for this game,
32:55and they've taken all of our frustration out on Libby.
32:57Yeah,
32:58very, very good from Hibbs this afternoon,
33:00what we'll do now,
33:01classified scores for you,

38:34he might be out,
38:35for a little while,
38:36they've recalled,
38:37Corey Armour,
38:38in the Challenge Cup,

39:03Thank you to Paul Mitchell,
39:04Stephen Naismith,
39:05alongside him,
39:06at Rugby Park,
39:07yeah,
39:08for both clubs,
39:09for different reasons,
39:10they've,
39:11lots of change,
39:12lots of,
39:13change of personnel,
39:14in terms of their squads,
39:15but,
39:16both have started well,
39:17Hearts have,
39:18had the dream start,
39:19unbeaten,
39:20top of the league,
39:21and,
39:22and looking formidable,
39:23Kilmarnock,
39:24I think,
39:25it was a big transition,
39:26probably biggest,
39:27in the league,
39:28in terms of,
39:29full new squad,
39:30new management team,
39:31I don't think Kettlewell,
39:32could have done any more,
39:33very well organised,
39:34one defeat in the last six,
39:35I think the last two performances,
39:36are perfect,
39:37two,
39:38two nil wins,
39:39tough games,
39:40and today's probably,
39:41going to be the toughest,
39:42but,
39:43Kilmarnock at home,
39:44on the surface,
39:45you can't,
39:46you can't rule them out,
39:47from getting a result,
39:48and confidence is high,
39:49for them as well,
39:50going to be a,
39:52really entertaining night,
39:53I hope,
39:54that one kicks off,
39:55at 5.45,
39:56full coverage,
39:57on BBC,
39:58Radio Scotland,
39:59see some of the managers,
40:00now starting to speak,
40:01to our colleagues,
40:02John McGlynn,
40:03is in the screen,
40:04in front office,
40:05you can watch him,
40:06on sports,
40:07what a comeback,
40:08from his side,
40:09Dundee United,
40:10we had a lot of Billy Dodds,
40:11on open,
40:12Mike Z McCall,
40:13was on commentary duty,
40:14there this afternoon,
40:15Ian,
40:16quite a remarkable game,
40:17Rangers looked very good,
40:18in the first half,
40:19seemed to be in control,
40:20United were struggling,
40:21but that second half,
40:22was absolutely sensational,
40:23it was,
40:24I mean it was a tough one,
40:25to call,
40:26whether Dundee United,
40:27should feel aggrieved,
40:28not to have,
40:29to have won the game,
40:30I mean,
40:31I think Rangers,
40:32could have had the game,
40:33dead and buried,
40:34at half time,
40:35there was so many positives,
40:36in terms of,
40:37you know,
40:38Asgard,
40:39and the wider players,
40:40in Rothel,
40:41but then as soon as,
40:42Dundee United,
40:43I hope you saw it,
40:44in the studio,
40:45obviously,
40:46an absolute great strike,
40:47from a young,
40:48not young,
40:49but he's a Scottish player,
40:50Craig Sibold,
40:51left foot curled,
40:52ten minutes before that,
40:53as well,
40:54the old problems,
40:55Rangers haven't,
40:56they need a striker,
40:57they need a left back,
40:58you know,
40:59they need to be a bit,
41:00mentally a bit stronger,
41:01and again,
41:02it's Tavernier,
41:03that comes up with the equaliser,
41:04but I thought,
41:05there was a real change,
41:06there was a change in atmosphere,
41:07in the first half,
41:08and there was definitely,
41:09a change in performance,
41:10when the ball,
41:11I don't know if the guys,
41:12in the studio agreed,
41:13whenever the ball,
41:14was given away,
41:15they hounded it,
41:16to get it back,
41:17and there was a,
41:18way more width,
41:19which allowed Asgard,
41:20who looked a proper,
41:21staff,
41:22you'll have saw,
41:23his goal,
41:24was just top class,
41:25it allowed him,
41:26more space,
41:27to work in,
41:28but,
41:29you know,
41:30I've got the credit,
41:31in the United,
41:32Jim changed it to 4-2-3-1,
41:33went a wee bit more positive,
41:34he was just getting,
41:35pushed back into a 4-5-1,
41:37so they couldn't get out,
41:38it was a bit more positive,
41:39they got their goal,
41:40with Trapanovski,
41:41it might have been,
41:42his first touch of the ball,
41:43certainly his first involvement,
41:44in the game,
41:45and then scored a crack,
41:46he'll be feeling a bit aggrieved,
41:47but then,
41:48the type of day it was,
41:49at Ibrox,
41:50with the supporters,
41:51in a buoyant mood,
41:52at the start of the game,
41:53you know, in retrospect,
41:54he'll probably be quite happy,
41:55with the point.
41:56Thanks to Ian McCall,
41:57there at Ibrox,
41:58it's a fair assessment,
41:59isn't it?
42:00What I would say is,
42:01that in the second half,
42:02I think old habits,
42:03die hard,
42:04in terms of what,
42:05that group of players,
42:06maybe a bit unfair,
42:07with the ones that have just come in,
42:08in the summer,
42:09although they've not performed,
42:10over Russell Martin,
42:11there's been a core group of players,
42:12at Rangers for a,
42:13a while now,
42:14that,
42:15mentally seem to,
42:16to really struggle,
42:17to get things over the line,
42:18and just when you think it's turning,
42:19like that first half today,
42:20was night and day,
42:21compared to anything we've seen,
42:22from Rangers this season,
42:23really,
42:24all the old,
42:25that started to creep in,
42:26in the second half,
42:27you know that,
42:28the elements of doubt,
42:29as soon as Dundee United scored,
42:30I thought Dundee United were,
42:31by far and away,
42:32the better team,
42:33in the second half,
42:34but you can't,
42:35rule out the fact,
42:36that Rangers dominated,
42:37the first half,
42:38so I think Fozzie's right,
42:39to each was a fair result,
42:40but,
42:41Rangers should have,
42:42had the game dead and buried,
42:43in the first half,
42:44but I just think it was a case of,
42:45really,
42:46bad,
42:47old habits,
42:48creeping in,
42:49once again,
42:50in that second half.
42:51Big travelling support,
42:52down of course,
42:53from Dundee,
42:54then,
42:55there are so many goals,
42:56to choose from,
42:57to watch on sports team tonight,
42:58Sybils,
42:59the pick of the bunch?
43:00Ah,
43:01it's a great strike,
43:02and you know,
43:03he's very talented,
43:04technically very good,
43:05on that left side,
43:06I really like the Asgards goal,
43:08just because,
43:09you know,
43:10the distance he runs,
43:11but I tell you what,
43:12Lazatic,
43:13best goal,
43:14Lazatic goal,
43:15is the best,
43:16he takes a brilliant little touch,
43:19he knows what he's doing,
43:20I think,
43:21correct me if I'm wrong,
43:22a few years ago,
43:23more than a few years ago,
43:24Berbatov scored a similar goal,
43:26where he's running away,
43:27he knows it's coming,
43:28he flips it past them,
43:29and a great finish,
43:30I think the goalie should do better,
43:31but that's a pick for me,
43:32Lazatic.
43:33And don't forget,
43:34Cleegee's opening for Hibs as well,
43:35that was also a beauty,
43:36it's been another,
43:37really busy day,
43:38across Scottish group,
43:39but the conversation continues,
43:40on BBC Radio Scotland,
