00:00Otis the referee, and he's checking on Craig Halkett there, Andrew Dallas is on VAR.
00:09Now both teams changing their kit tonight to make it all black and white.
00:22Interesting that Cammy Dev when you're saying Ian if he got a booking tonight would miss the Rangers game,
00:26which is a massive game for Harps, and then you flip towards John McLennan,
00:31he's thinking about his important players and maybe leaving them out,
00:34so a big decision for Derek McInnes to throw him in there, I'm pretty sure the message would be
00:38just be careful, don't do anything silly tonight.
00:42Oh, Shanklin is going to get a shot away, it's brilliant, it's some save,
00:46but Claudio Braga follows up a sensational start for the Premiership leaders.
00:54Shanklin picked a punch, and a bit more, and Braga was there to pounce.
01:01There's so much to unpick with this goal, what about the strike?
01:05I was saying to you during the warm-up that this guy, Shanklin,
01:08is just absolutely clinical with his finishing at times,
01:12and he might not be hitting the back of the net here,
01:15I just wondered whether it had gone in past Scott Bain there, I don't think it does,
01:20but that little man is just a force of nature right now, what a partnership,
01:24Claudio Braga is just alive to it, like he was at Celtic Park,
01:30switching back on so quick, look at him there, the reaction, he's in like a flash,
01:35really brave header as well, because Scott Bain is getting up quick, let me tell you,
01:38and he knows he's probably going to a sore one, but the rewards are greater,
01:42and it's a real good header, what a start for Hearts.
01:50I mean, look at this strike here, I wonder whether it went in there, it doesn't.
01:54I think the Scott Bain even got a little touch there, and then he just gets bounced by Claudio Braga.
02:00Sensational start.
02:01Well, a breathtaking opening from Hearts, and Harry Milne is advancing now.
02:09Here's Braga, who's scored more away goals than any other player in the Premiership.
02:17Six in all, and he's up to 11 goals for Hearts, and having opened the scoring at Celtic Park last Sunday,
02:25he's gone and done it again here.
02:27You know, honestly, that pairing now, up top, are becoming really fearsome.
02:32In terms of the play, they're so clever, they're powerful,
02:35they're not going to be thrown around, they've got physicality,
02:38but they've got so much guile, and their goal return is superb.
02:42Cartwright tried to slip that 3-4,
02:45that's your man.
02:50A goal after 67 seconds for Derek McInnes and Hearts.
02:57I mean, he must be sitting thinking,
02:59how good is this?
03:02What a start to his Hearts career.
03:12Well, it didn't take Hearts long.
03:14Claudio Braga is now the joint top scorer in the top flight with his team-mate, Lauren Shankland.
03:26And Motherwell's to-ander,
03:28that's when he say.
03:30I think the Hearts are enjoying it as well,
03:32the fans, when he scores, get a chance to get that song going again.
03:35Here's Harry Milne, who actually will be suspended against Rangers next week.
03:44He picked up his sixth yellow card of the season at Celtic Park.
03:48Steinwender, down the line to McIntyre.
03:57They've failed to score in their last three games,
04:10which is unlike them,
04:11and 300 minutes up on that front,
04:13I'm sure it'll happen soon,
04:16because that hasn't, until recently, been an issue for them.
04:20No, they certainly have been a breath of fresh air in the Premiership,
04:24and they've shown a real quality to their football,
04:27their creative.
04:29Certain players moving around from wide positions into number 10,
04:33Calvin Miller, for example,
04:35but they've just lost that clinical edge in front of goal.
04:40Sam Hart's making just his second start for Falko,
04:43but he has been around the blocks a few times in his career.
04:49Shankman's not happy.
05:14Shankman's not happy.
05:15Jonathan Miller will take this.
05:28I think Hart's were thinking it might have gone their way.
05:34Falko looking to answer back immediately.
05:37He's done well, Calvin Miller.
05:55Only a dead end.
05:56Almost created a little gap to get a cross into the box,
05:59but it's something that Hart did really well at Celtic Park,
06:02defended six-yard box areas,
06:04crosses into the box when they did come in,
06:06mainly through Kieran Tierney.
06:07They defended that really well.
06:14Henderson, Hart over there too.
06:18Steinwender will make sure that goes behind.
06:21This weekend, last season,
06:37Hart's dropped to the bottom of the table
06:39after a 1-0 defeat at Derek McKinnis' Kilmarnock,
06:42and we're down to 10 men after six minutes.
06:45What a difference a year makes.
06:47Incredible.
06:48Absolutely incredible.
06:49Kari Avraga trying to win that back.
06:59Spun away to Magnussen.
07:03Stuart Finlay will go back to Schvallo.
07:09Halk it now for Steinwender.
07:19You can see that Falker getting after the ball.
07:24There's a start saying that they recover the ball.
07:27The highest, I think, in the premiership,
07:29in terms of attacking third for them.
07:32But they need to be better with it.
07:34Difficult tonight, of course, with the conditions,
07:36but if they can get recovery of the ball,
07:39get their good players, their wide players,
07:40into possession,
07:41then they might just start scoring those goals again.
07:43John McGlynn led Falker to back-to-back promotions
07:49to return to the top flight after a 15-year absence.
07:55And they did it their way,
07:56playing some wonderful football.
07:59Harry Bill.
08:03Steinwender.
08:04Kisaridis.
08:19McIntyre in a hurry to take the throw.
08:22Here he is again.
08:23Scored the decisive goal at Celtic.
08:26Brilliant header.
08:30Harry Milne.
08:30That was a wicked switch,
08:32but it's caught the wind.
08:34Finlay towards Braga.
08:38Milne.
08:44Devlin.
08:52Craig Halkett for Cammy Devlin.
08:56Milne first time for Braga.
09:04Falkirk did beat Hearts here last season,
09:102-0 in the League Cup.
09:11Kyrell Wilson.
09:21He's just cross-blocked.
09:23Yeah, one-on-one with Stuart Finlay.
09:25I thought he might have had a little go at him.
09:28Harry Milne had jumped,
09:29created the space for him,
09:30just wondered whether
09:31first chance to go
09:32and really have a burn,
09:35just knock it past the defender.
09:36Spencer sent that straight through to Savano.
09:41There's so much to like about the heart side.
09:55Ian, I know we're talking about
09:56Braga and Shankland
09:57and what they do up top,
09:58but the way that Hearts have defended
10:01the principles of their team,
10:03Cammy Devlin,
10:04most tackles, turnovers.
10:06I mean,
10:07every facet of the pitch.
10:09I know Chris was talking about this man here
10:10and his contract situation.
10:12That might just start to burn right now.
10:13He's happy in his football,
10:14but sooner or later,
10:16I think Hearts are probably going to have to
10:17get a little man inside the room
10:19and ask him,
10:20does he want to come out of his future?
10:21Because right now,
10:22it looks bright at Hearts.
10:26There will be some amount of competition
10:27for the Player of the Season award at this rate.
10:30Absolutely.
10:32Shankland.
10:37Philip Lysa across,
10:39playing in that right-back role.
10:42Switching this week with
10:44Connor Allen,
10:46who's moved into the centre of defence.
10:51Harry Milne.
10:54Magnussen.
10:56Steinwender for Kisaridis.
11:01Who's created the most chances
11:03in the premiership as a whole.
11:09Milne.
11:11Lysa.
11:12Sending off Claudia Braga,
11:15but at the expense of a corner.
11:17Yeah, that's easier said than done.
11:18Lysa's putting under real pressure
11:22on Claudia Braga.
11:25What a nuisance he has up top.
11:30I think the wind is picking up.
11:32Just a touch.
11:33Just a touch.
11:34Just a touch.
11:34Hearts specialist at scoring from corners.
11:44Kisaridis sends that one in
11:46and they might have another one here.
11:47It just flashed wide
11:49and Hearts are appealing
11:51as Steinwender make contact.
11:53That's a big chance.
11:54I wasn't sure if it was Steinwender.
11:55But you're right, it was.
11:57And it's...
11:58I mean, I almost think
11:59misjudges the flight of the ball slightly.
12:02It's a good connection.
12:03I think at Liam Henderson
12:04it ends up getting
12:05nice and tight to him
12:07and making it difficult.
12:09Just wonder whether
12:09the conditions played a part there.
12:11Spencer!
12:18Stuart Finley turning it away
12:20from Ariel Wilson.
12:22Yeah, it was good from Stuart Finley
12:23but I think
12:24talking about Cammy Devlin
12:26just slightly pulled his foot out there.
12:28He was caught just behind the ball
12:30and I think in normal circumstances
12:32he'd have taken one for the team there.
12:41Lisa needs an option.
12:44Aguiman provides it
12:45but it goes back for another throw.
12:57Just bounced away from Cartwright.
13:02Varaga's third
13:03brought to an end by Connor Allen.
13:06Yeah, good covering.
13:07Connor Allen.
13:11They really do try
13:15and compress the bridge.
13:16Falkirk, look how far over.
13:19They've come.
13:19They have big switches
13:20on the other side
13:21all the time.
13:31Steinwender.
13:34Kisaridis
13:34wants to go back to Halkin.
13:39Switches on again.
13:40Ian.
13:41Calvin Miller first of that.
13:57Listen.
13:58That's better.
14:03That was better from Falkirk.
14:04They've won possession a few times now
14:06and just turned the ball straight over.
14:07Ethan Ross taken out.
14:20Magnussen's just
14:21a touch late.
14:22I'm not sure
14:23you'll see a yellow card
14:24but he's just blocked him.
14:26Just here.
14:29Bumps Ethan Ross
14:30with his hit.
14:30Magnussen.
14:31Magnussen.
14:31Sam Hart
14:42down the line.
14:43Hooked away by
14:45Steinwender.
14:45Steinwender.
14:53He had a long association with Harts
14:56as a coach and caretaker manager
14:58a couple of times
14:59and then became their manager
15:00but didn't see
15:01the season out.
15:032-12-13.
15:08Wilson.
15:13Harry Milne.
15:14Look at the what rate.
15:15Absolutely sensational.
15:16Give him though.
15:21Yeah.
15:22I just feel that
15:23Carell Wilson's
15:24maybe a bit unlucky here.
15:25Just comes in
15:26slightly on the back
15:28of Harry Milne.
15:29He's what rate
15:29was sensational.
15:35Falkirk
15:36are unbeaten
15:37in their last
15:37six home games
15:38almost three months
15:39since their
15:40last defeat here
15:41to St. Mirren.
15:42So many tickets
15:50for this season
15:50they have to
15:51restrict the number
15:52of away fans
15:53to a mere
15:55half a stand.
15:56This
15:56Harry Milne
15:58to cut that out
15:58before it reached
15:59Carell Wilson.
16:00Calvin Miller's
16:01onto it though.
16:02He can often
16:03make things
16:04happen.
16:06A turnover
16:07by both sides
16:08but Calvin Miller
16:08his little pocket
16:09he picks up
16:10in the middle
16:10of the pitch
16:11he's poor
16:11with the pass
16:12and when he
16:12follows it
16:13in there
16:13nicks it
16:14off of
16:14Harry Milne.
16:15I thought
16:16he was just
16:16going to
16:16pull a trigger
16:16earlier.
16:17He's looking
16:18for that
16:18extra angle.
16:19arts with 35
16:42points now
16:43at this stage
16:44of last season
16:44they had
16:4513
16:46it's been
16:50a rapid rise
16:51from the bottom
16:52to the top
16:53and as Derek
16:57McKinney said
16:57after the game
16:59there
16:59after the Celtic
17:01game
17:01I think there's
17:02a growing belief
17:03now
17:03amongst many
17:05out there
17:06that this
17:07hearts team
17:07might just have
17:09enough of the legs
17:09to take it all
17:10the way
17:10the longer
17:12it goes on
17:12the more belief
17:14within the squad
17:15the more comfortable
17:16they get at the top
17:17of the league as well
17:17I mean everybody's
17:18saying yeah
17:19and the guys
17:19were talking about it
17:20that everybody wants
17:21a little piece of
17:22hearts now to knock
17:23them off their perch
17:24but the longer this
17:25goes on
17:25the more comfortable
17:26they'll become
17:27Kisaridis
17:35looking for
17:37Claudia Braga
17:38Shanklin is
17:39alongside
17:40but
17:40Lisa got a cross
17:42to cover
17:43they're really good
17:48from Lisa
17:49just
17:50making sure
17:52he's tucked
17:52right in
17:53against
17:53Lauren Shanklin
17:55there
17:55I think
18:17the conditions
18:17are getting worse
18:18Ian as well
18:19yeah
18:20not only
18:22getting windier
18:23but

19:58say
19:58that
19:58no
19:59magnuson
20:22bill
20:25Here's Claudia Braga again
20:30Shanklin might get his shot away and just didn't get any curl on it
20:35That is just probably slightly leaning away from it too much
20:39You know exactly what he's trying to do growing from partner
20:42But I got just rooms and term and as it opens up if she's trying to bend it towards that far post just leaning away
20:49Just ever so slightly
20:51Yes
20:54Scott Bain has picked out Philip Lyssa
20:57They're like Kyrell Wilson is on loan from Swansea and the two of them have linked up there the Swansea boys
21:08That was nearly a brilliant one-two
21:10From Lyssa he takes a beautiful little touch here when he drops it wide
21:14He just makes himself into that gap and he's a fraction away from it
21:18Again good from Steinbender just making sure he's tucked in
21:24Clearing up the damage
21:32Didn't work too well the last time they tried to change the angle
21:35He tried take two
21:39Ethan Ross has come across but
21:42He has left it to Calvin Miller
21:48Miller's corner
21:50No that was a wicked corner just drop never so low i think it's Steinbender is it at the back post you're expecting it if he's head on at that low somebody's should be running in making sure they put a boot on that
22:04It's a loose one from Allen
22:10It's a loose one from Allen
22:12Harry Milne has Shankland to his left
22:14And there's four loyal players catching up here
22:16Harry Milne's cross
22:18Is cleared away by Hart
22:20We've seen some really good examples of defending from full backs cutting in making sure that
22:26The cleaning mess is up there that was a really good ball into the box
22:38Harry Milne to take this throw
22:40Braga
22:42Harry Milne
22:44And it's put behind by Allen
22:46Put, put, put away for another throw
22:57Just, just a throw
22:58Yeah
22:59Had loads of rain on the specs there couldn't quite see
23:12Will be a corner for Hartz
23:14Yeah good from Braga
23:16Last touch from Lisa
23:32Nine goals some corners
23:36In the premiership as Kisaridis whips it in there again
23:39Can we Devlin?
23:45Throw in
23:46Kisaridis
23:47Kisaridis
23:49Kisaridis
24:03Steinwender
24:05Braga over on that side
24:06Kisaridis have taken the corner on this side
24:09Comes kindly here to Aguiman
24:11But they just cannot advance
24:14No, Braga's made up for his mistake there
24:16Lost possession and he's keen enough to work back
24:19After what part
24:28Here's Shanklin
24:29Here's Shanklin
24:40Finlay
24:41At least I just got a little nudge from Harry Milne and Paul Cup fans, I want a free kick
24:57There's another throw for Harry Milne
25:04Magnusson on hand
25:05The latest in a series of Harry Milne throws here
25:06Well, ordinarily you might see a long throw but not against that one Dean
25:10It is wicked out there
25:11Kept in by Aguiman but merely for Magnusson
25:12Kept in by Aguiman but merely for Magnusson
25:13Helkett for Finlay
25:14Helkett for Finlay
25:16And
25:17The latest in a series of Harry Milne throws here
25:20And
25:21The latest in a series of Harry Milne throws here
25:23Well, ordinarily you might see a long throw but not against that one Dean
25:26It is wicked out there
25:29Kept in by Aguiman but merely for Magnusson
25:38Helkett for Finlay
25:43Now Magnusson
25:46And
25:55Art's
25:56Keeping the pressure on
25:58Yeah, Magnusson just breaking rank
26:00Interesting because a blind run
26:02It doesn't get picked up
26:03Because you're running from the central position
26:04position
26:16no Magnuson
26:25that's a full cut right just those he shoulder on at Magnuson
26:32You can just see here, check the ball, bang, yeah, three-kicks from me.
26:38Not popular on these parts though.
26:49Magnussen pinched by Wilson, Aggieman now.
26:55Falkirk are really struggling to net up top, aren't they?
27:02And you can see there's a real strong action area for half down this left side with Braga playing out here and Harry Mill.
27:09Actually this season they've been really balanced in terms of their attacking threat.
27:13But you can see it's certainly developing down this left side.
27:18Henderson, whooping the air off the head of Cammy Devlin.
27:25It's a foul by Magnussen and a yellow card in fact.
27:33Oh Magnussen, maybe looks a wee bit disappointed.
27:36His eyes are on the ball the whole time but he is leading with that left elbow.
27:41Catches the captain Brad Spencer right in the jaw.
27:48And you always do jump with your arms out for get your height and then your leverage but yeah, no argument there.
27:57Spencer's back on his feet, such a pivotal player in Falkirk's rise to the top.
28:11Carbon mirror to float this in, will there be a connection that counts?
28:15Not yet.
28:16Not yet.
28:17Yeah, difficult one to defend against, it's an in-swinger.
28:19But Hart's dead enough.
28:24Cartwright covering here before Kisaridis could get a look in.
28:35Miller.
28:41Spencer.
28:42Connor Allen, who was in Rangers Academy.
28:51Here's big Liam Henderson.
28:54He started his career at Hearts.
28:57He's actually a Hips fan and scored against Hips this season.
29:01Cammy Devlin.
29:04Henderson onto it again.
29:05Spencer.
29:06Spencer.
29:07That was neat.
29:08And tidy.
29:09Go for Ross.
29:10Stopped in his tracks.
29:11Yeah, brilliant.
29:12Just breaking down though.
29:13Final third.
29:14Fall cut.
29:15Fall cut.
29:16Go for Ross.
29:17Go for Ross.
29:18Stopped in his tracks.
29:20Yeah, brilliant.
29:21Just breaking down though.
29:22Final third.
29:23Fall cut.
29:24Fall cut.
29:25Sam Hart won it back.
29:27And Fall cut can go again.
29:28With half an hour played.
29:29As they pursue an equaliser.
29:31This is cross.
29:32They carried on going Sam Hart.
29:33Yeah, he did.
29:34And he's come a long way and it's such a hard one to take.
29:38He has to make his mind up early that he's going with his head here.
29:39Look.
29:40And it just skids up at him.
29:41He's just trying to knock it back across goals.
29:42Can you see there?
29:43Brilliant ball.
29:44Great pick out from fellow full back Lisa.
29:45It's a bit better though for John McGann.
29:47we carried on going somehow yeah he does and he's come a long way and it's such a hard one to take
29:56he has to make his mind up early that he's going with his head here look and it just skids up on
30:02he's just trying to knock it back across goals you see there brilliant ball great pick out from
30:09fellow fullback Lisa it's a bit better though for John McGinn
30:17you can see flick that on Kisaridis now here's Braga here's Shanklin and one that got away really for
30:38Lauren Shanklin yeah that's one has a big chance for Lauren Shanklin on his left side
30:42great little pullback here and Braga's fully aware that Shanklin's going round him
30:49you're expecting Shanklin just to drill that back across Scott Bain
30:53Steinwender Kisaridis again looking for Shanklin but that's gonna gather a bit on its way over
31:07he's been another superb sign and hasn't he can play off the left of course very dangerous
31:18coming on his right foot but I like the fact that you can go on the outside as well put crosses into
31:22the box
31:23okay
31:31Magnussen
31:37Conor Allen
31:39does shield it from Claudio Braga
31:43okay
31:57free kick for Hartz Camry Devlin is a man in a hurry
32:03Finlay high into the sky steered away by Sam Hart but not very far
32:15Kisaridis
32:16wishing McIntyre trying to run on to that but it drifted away from him
32:26it's got Bain who spent seven years at Celtic decided to leave for first-team football at Falkirk
32:51Allen
32:59Ross sends it back to Henderson
33:06I think you were talking about Brad Spencer's influence on this Falkirk side he's he's been relatively quiet tonight
33:24Ian
33:25he's not had the opportunity to go and start to direct traffic get on get on the ball make things happen punch little holes
33:32and that Hartz mudfiel
33:38Celtic's first game in hand over Hartz is on Wednesday at Tanner Dice and we'll be there for that
33:53Dundee United Celtic from seven o'clock on Sky Sports Football and then next Sunday
33:59it's Hartz against Rangers also on Sky Sports Football from 1230
34:06of course after Christmas it's the Edinburgh Derby
34:11knocked out by Hartz
34:17knocked out by Hartz
34:19Steinwender will take this throw
34:33McIntyre nearby
34:37so to Braga
34:42it's not a great throw
34:43not a lot of God
34:45Braga can do there to be honest
34:46I know he's shone for it but
34:48not even Claudia Braga can do something with that
34:53I think the ones
34:54McIntyre's deciding
34:55that he's going to take a long one by the look of it
34:59big boys are coming up
34:59Finlay
35:00Halkett
35:00got a bit of wind assistance I feel
35:04from that side
35:05here it comes
35:09from McIntyre
35:11Halkett tried to make contact
35:13free kicks being given
35:14against him for a shove on Spencer I think
35:17yeah I don't think he's happy about the decision
35:19Spencer front post area
35:23can see there
35:24Halkett
35:25yeah just leaning on top of him
35:30I'm watching Brad Spencer
35:37he's telling Connor Allen
35:38that he wants to
35:39see the centre back step in there
35:41just try and commit someone
35:42that might free him up
35:44to go on the ball
35:45it's better
36:01on by Lissa
36:06Wilson
36:08straight through to Swallow
36:11good goalkeeping
36:14he's trying to play an early one in there
36:17Shanklin
36:27Harry Milne's on to this
36:29Lissa
36:33able to
36:34just
36:35nudge that away
36:36yeah he's done well
36:37Harry Milne's just looking to get half a yard
36:41and shape it in
36:42in case the read this was making the box
36:43Magnussen
36:52Hartz scored in the second minute
37:10they weren't hanging around
37:15but that's it
37:16so far
37:16McInnes
37:26unbeaten
37:27in six games
37:29as a manager
37:29against
37:30Borkirk
37:31he was manager of the month
37:32for the first
37:33three months
37:34of
37:34this season
37:35in the Scottish Premiership
37:36and then
37:37Martin O'Neill
37:38came along
37:39here is Spencer
37:48sent away by Finlay
37:52Devlin on to it
37:54Kisaridis
37:55couldn't find
37:57Steinwender
37:57well
38:01so far
38:01we're approaching
38:0340 minutes
38:04it's not been the best
38:05football match
38:05point largely to the conditions
38:08but I think there's been a wee bit of
38:09sloppiness from both sides
38:10hoisted by Henderson
38:16Steinwender
38:17rises
38:18Magnussen away to
38:19Milne
38:20Harry Milne advancing
38:27Lissa has taken him out
38:31and that's going to be a yellow card
38:32for Philip Lissa
38:35yeah no question
38:36he looks gassed
38:38to be honest
38:38as soon as Harry Milne
38:39bounces the pass
38:41he knows he's going to be
38:42second favourite
38:43to get back in
38:45and he decides to take him out
38:46no question about the yellow card defence
38:51as well
38:51pretty reckless
38:52Lissa
38:53Kisaridis comes over to this side
39:02some really good targets
39:08to aim for
39:09McIntyre as we saw last week
39:12Halk get five goals
39:14Finlay four
39:15Alex Kisaridis
39:23goes low
39:24Tony Obraga
39:25and Magnussen
39:27sees his efforts
39:28blocked
39:29yeah
39:30Ethan Ross
39:31I think he gets there
39:32takes a sore one
39:34I think
39:34might have been on the follow through
39:35from Magnussen
39:36suggestion of hand balls
39:38the ball went into Braga
39:38but I thought it was his body
39:40it bounced off of
39:40just here
39:42he rolls it back
39:44it's a really good challenge
39:45probably takes it
39:46on the follow through
39:47follow through
39:48Ethan Ross
39:49yeah he does
39:51final five minutes
39:55of the first half
39:56Aguiman
40:01trying to stay on his feet
40:05but it's going to be called back
40:07for a free kick
40:08he is quick
40:09probably would have been away
40:12from Halkin
40:12who has survived a card
40:14yeah I just wonder
40:16whether it was a yellow card defence
40:18because if he cleans him out there
40:19it's right away
40:21yeah here comes
40:22yep
40:23yeah you can see
40:26he's a brilliant touch
40:27Halk it just gets done
40:28Aguiman just
40:30knocks it past him
40:31just
40:32little contact
40:34it's not massive contact
40:35fair play to Aguiman
40:36because he's trying to continue
40:37well for he did
40:42indeed catch up
40:43with Craig Halk it
40:44Calvin Miller launching
40:46that one in
40:47Shankton right back there
40:53trying to see off Wilson
40:56he's kept alive
41:00and Lissa
41:00likely man on the edge of the box
41:03well wide
41:04yeah probably just on his weaker side
41:06takes a nice touch
41:07just lets it roll right through
41:08thinks it's Magnussen
41:10it's the closest one to him
41:12just lets it across his body
41:14he's trying to lace that one
41:16just cutting across it
41:17goals have just dried up
41:23in the last few games
41:24for John McGlynn
41:25who has been there
41:29without his main
41:30striker
41:31Ross McKeever
41:32and also
41:33Keelan Adams
41:34his first choice
41:35right back
41:36and others
41:36Wilson has
41:38forced his way in
41:40and
41:41was it a handball there
41:43from Milne
41:44the corner has been given
41:46initially
41:47it will be checked
41:48by VAR
41:49the RB check
41:50but I think it comes off
41:51he's midriff
41:52he always look at the face
41:54of the player to see
41:54does he get a guilty look on it
41:56but
41:57the pace here
41:58girl
41:58Wilson is phenomenal
42:00when he just
42:02lies show off
42:03oh does it happen
42:03I can't see
42:04this will be a better angle
42:06now
42:07Swallow was down
42:08I mean the body
42:10the arm is in there
42:11against his body
42:12and I think it's a good decision
42:15yeah it does hit his arm
42:17just a corner
42:20yeah
42:20we have confirmed
42:21yeah it's right against his body
42:24really good defending
42:25recovery from Harry Milne
42:27Miller it is to
42:30send the corner in
42:31and there could be
42:34a big surge on now
42:35for Hartz
42:37Kisaridis
42:38for Braga
42:39and he forced his way through
42:41Shankland
42:43couldn't quite get his shot away
42:45from one end to the other
42:48and speed the liso
42:49from Hartz
42:50Devlin tussling
42:52with Cartwright
42:53I tell you
42:58what a foot race this is
42:59and there's about four of them
43:01going at it
43:01Claudio Braga
43:04is just bombing forward
43:05never breaks stride
43:06Cartwright follows him
43:07all the way
43:08he did so well
43:09really
43:12really good play
43:13from him
43:14as it stands
43:19there will just be
43:20one
43:20minute
43:21added on
43:22to this first half
43:23well it was a perfect start
43:33for Derrick McInnes
43:34but Hartz
43:35haven't been able to
43:36build on that
43:37Cartwright under pressure
43:39from Magnusson
43:40free kick
43:41Hartz usually
43:45miss Penny Beningamy
43:46but Thomas Magnusson
43:47has done a job
43:48hasn't he
43:48yeah he's done very well
43:49Penny Beningamy
43:51is certainly
43:52a fan's favourite
43:53but Magnusson
43:53he's not
43:54he's not easy
43:55on the eye
43:56in terms of
43:56he doesn't do anything
43:57really smart
43:59in terms of
43:59spraying the ball
44:00about or controlling it
44:01he's just
44:02unfussy
44:02he goes about his business
44:03he's actually a really good foil
44:05for Cammy Devlin
44:05Magnusson
44:13Magnusson
44:13stepping in there
44:15Devlin away to Milne
44:18I tell you
44:26Harry Milne
44:27just a couple of moments ago
44:28did so well
44:29when you look at it
44:29I know there was
44:30consideration of handball
44:31but for the fullback
44:33to have the
44:33the defensive mind
44:35just to make sure
44:36that he gets burned
44:36with pace
44:37and getting behind
44:38his goalkeeper
44:39to make sure
44:39he's mopping up
44:40was absolutely
44:41superb defender
44:42okay
44:48Shankland
44:49took it well
44:50Kisaridis
44:53Steinwender
44:55has raced forward
44:56ahead of
44:56Kisaridis
44:57looking to get onto it here
44:58but Sam Hart
44:59should deal with it
45:01he's actually
45:03giving it back to
45:03Kisaridis
45:04Shankland
45:06Wilson has done well here
45:14shrugging off
45:17all kinds of challenges
45:18before unfortunately
45:19slipping
45:19I tell you Magnussen
45:20needs to be careful
45:21as well
45:22because he was all
45:22over the top
45:23of Kareil Wilson
45:23and he's already
45:24on a yellow card
45:25he feels it
45:26he was impeded
45:27once and twice
45:28but he's
45:29he needs to be careful
45:31Magnussen
45:31just there
45:33if he clips him
45:34there's no
45:36appeal on him
45:37and then
45:38it ends up
45:38slipping
45:39I just wonder
45:42where Kareil Wilson
45:43will look back
45:44at that chance
45:44Ian
45:44speaking about
45:45the great defending
45:45and wonder if he
45:46had taken it early
45:47well that's it
45:49as far as the first half
45:51is concerned
45:52and it was a blockbuster
45:53start to the game
45:54from Hearts
45:54Claudia Braga
45:56was there to tuck it away
45:57after it looked like
45:59Lawrence Shankland
45:59would score
46:01in spectacular fashion
46:02but that's it
46:03on the goals front
46:04so far
46:05half time
46:06Falkirk
46:070
46:07Hearts
46:081
