00:00:00You
00:00:21Billy McNeil
00:00:30Celtic are the champions
00:00:57Celtic on their travels
00:00:59this afternoon heading down the
00:01:00M77 to Rugby Park
00:01:03we are 15 minutes
00:01:05away from kick-off, Kilmarnock
00:01:06playing host to Celtic and Martin O'Neill
00:01:08looking to maintain what has been
00:01:11a very impressive record for him as manager
00:01:13during his now three spells
00:01:15in charge of the club
00:01:17he has not lost against
00:01:19Kilmarnock, I hope not tempting fate this afternoon
00:01:21but Celtic looking for a vital three
00:01:23points, a big day in the race
00:01:25for the title with Hearts
00:01:26visiting Ibrox later on this afternoon
00:01:29but it's all about what Celtic can do
00:01:31over the next 90 minutes
00:01:33and you'll be able to find out
00:01:34in the company of myself and Peter Grant
00:01:37here on Celtic
00:01:39TV
00:01:39on the plastic pitch of Rugby Park
00:01:43the rain lashing down
00:01:44in Ayrshire
00:01:46Celtic looking to maintain
00:01:48their impressive form
00:01:50and Peter this afternoon the Celtic manager
00:01:53I'll just go through the Celtic team
00:01:54he's made four changes from that midweek game
00:01:57against Livingston Celtic
00:01:58line-up with Kasper Schmeichel and goals
00:02:00Julian Araujo
00:02:02Austin Trusty
00:02:03Liam Scales
00:02:03and Kieran Tierney
00:02:04who returns to the back four
00:02:06Callum McGregor captains the side
00:02:07Rail Hatati comes in
00:02:08for the injured Arnott Engels
00:02:10alongside Benjamin Negrin
00:02:11and up front
00:02:12Yang
00:02:13and Junior Adamu
00:02:14come into the starting 11
00:02:16Dyson Maida
00:02:16who's scored seven goals
00:02:17against Kilmarnock
00:02:18in his time
00:02:19he starts as well
00:02:20so a strong starting 11
00:02:22a strong bench
00:02:23and just important
00:02:24that we go off to a good start today
00:02:26Always is Paul
00:02:27there's no doubt of that
00:02:28I'm interested to see the front line
00:02:30of Yang Maida and Adamu
00:02:31because I think the pace
00:02:32that they have
00:02:33is maybe the choice
00:02:34that the managers went with
00:02:35because I think
00:02:36it's going to be important
00:02:37that you don't play in front of Kilmarnock
00:02:38they'll be wanting you
00:02:39to play in front of them
00:02:40especially as you said
00:02:41about the change of surface
00:02:43the pitch is going to be wet
00:02:44slippy
00:02:45and I always think
00:02:46Kilmarnock
00:02:46they're comfortable
00:02:48when the game's in front of them
00:02:49it's when they're turned round
00:02:50and made face their own goals
00:02:52it causes them more problems
00:02:53and I think
00:02:53at times we've done that
00:02:54too often down there
00:02:55played the game too slow
00:02:57to suit Kilmarnock
00:02:58so hopefully with the front three
00:02:59we've all got a better pace
00:03:01we're going to use that space
00:03:02in behind them
00:03:02to get away from them
00:03:03Well certainly we're looking
00:03:05hopefully for less
00:03:07last gas drama
00:03:08which we've seen
00:03:08in the last two games
00:03:09of course the Dundee
00:03:10cup tie
00:03:11the last minute equaliser
00:03:13from Adamu
00:03:14and then
00:03:14Oxlade-Chamberlain
00:03:15who's among the substitutes
00:03:16this afternoon
00:03:17scoring in midweek
00:03:18but no matter how we get there
00:03:20as long as we get the three points
00:03:21Look that's massive
00:03:22I mean
00:03:22it could have been five or six
00:03:24in the first half
00:03:24of the other evening
00:03:25but it just shows you
00:03:25how football works
00:03:27if you don't score
00:03:28and you don't take your chances
00:03:29there's a possibility
00:03:30that the opposition
00:03:30as long as there's only one goal in it
00:03:32and I've absolutely no doubt
00:03:33that's what Neil McAnneble
00:03:34saying to Kilmarnock
00:03:35because
00:03:35they're a big side
00:03:36they've got good delivery
00:03:37for set plays
00:03:38as most teams in this division have
00:03:39they'll say
00:03:40I think that's a Celtic weakness
00:03:42as the defending set plays
00:03:43and even attacking wise
00:03:45because we don't score many goals
00:03:46from them
00:03:46so that's something
00:03:48they'll be looking at
00:03:49so I think we've got to make sure
00:03:50we put them to bed
00:03:51if you get opportunities
00:03:52and that's the only way
00:03:53that you can get away
00:03:54from these teams
00:03:55if you do that
00:03:55it obviously knocks the stuffing
00:03:57from them
00:03:57but as long as they're in it
00:03:58they'll always think
00:03:59they're going to get a chance
00:04:00I say from set plays
00:04:01and they're a big side commander
00:04:02you know
00:04:03and they've got big lads
00:04:03on the bench
00:04:04which I'm looking at as well
00:04:05so they can change and adjust
00:04:07and the most important thing
00:04:08is they've got very good delivery
00:04:09so we have to be very very careful
00:04:11of that
00:04:11and when the chances come along today
00:04:13hopefully we take them
00:04:14well remember as always
00:04:15we have the Virtual Paradise
00:04:17one fall draw
00:04:18the chance to win £4,000
00:04:20remember all you have to do
00:04:23to begin with a chance of winning
00:04:24it's over 18s only
00:04:25it's in the UK
00:04:26and you just have to download
00:04:29the Celtic Pools app
00:04:30if you haven't already done so
00:04:32through Apple Store
00:04:33or Google Play
00:04:34buy your ticket for £2
00:04:35and at half time
00:04:36you could be £4,000 richer
00:04:38so good luck with that
00:04:39well we spoke about
00:04:41the Celtic manager
00:04:41having made four changes
00:04:43to starting 11
00:04:44for this afternoon's game
00:04:46we've sent Gerry McCulloch
00:04:48out on his travels
00:04:49this afternoon
00:04:50he's back on the tools
00:04:51and he's been speaking
00:04:52to the Celtic manager
00:04:53Martin you're about to take charge
00:04:55of your 300th Celtic game
00:04:57you won your first one
00:04:58you'll be looking to win this one
00:05:00has it changed any?
00:05:02lots of things have changed
00:05:03in the course of 25 years
00:05:05yeah absolutely
00:05:06the state of the game
00:05:08is different
00:05:09but in terms of landmarks
00:05:12it doesn't really bother me a jot
00:05:15it's the most important thing
00:05:17here today
00:05:17to try and get the 3 points
00:05:18I was looking back
00:05:19at your post-match interview
00:05:21after that first game
00:05:22and you praised Celtic's
00:05:23commitment, drive
00:05:24and determination
00:05:25are those the same characteristics
00:05:26that you'll be looking to today?
00:05:28well when I say
00:05:28some things have changed
00:05:29in the game
00:05:30that hasn't changed
00:05:31at all
00:05:32and that'll be the most
00:05:33important thing here today
00:05:34on an artificial surface
00:05:36we've got to compete
00:05:37we've got to compete
00:05:37for the full game
00:05:39you made four changes
00:05:40to the starting 11
00:05:41Junior Adamo
00:05:43gets his first start up front
00:05:44has he been looking lively
00:05:45in training?
00:05:46what's given him the inclusion?
00:05:48freshening things up here
00:05:49you know
00:05:49we're taking a lot of things
00:05:51into consideration
00:05:51schedule
00:05:52schedule before
00:05:53schedule ahead
00:05:54all that type of stuff
00:05:55but the most important thing is
00:05:57you're right
00:05:57you can genuinely only deal
00:05:59with one game
00:06:00each time
00:06:01so he starts the game
00:06:03for us today
00:06:04and let's see how it goes
00:06:05yeah there's nothing quite beats
00:06:07a late injury time winner
00:06:08for drama
00:06:09but will you be hoping
00:06:10to win the game
00:06:11in a bit more of a casual fashion
00:06:13this afternoon?
00:06:14well I don't think
00:06:15there'll be anything casual
00:06:16about it
00:06:16this is a big difficult game
00:06:18Kilmarnock in really good form
00:06:19I mean an artificial surface
00:06:21here
00:06:21these are
00:06:23I've never
00:06:24well

00:12:18to win that game
00:12:192-1
00:12:20yeah it's never
00:12:21it's never easy
00:12:22going to Kilmarn
00:12:22and listen
00:12:23and that's any time
00:12:24people talk about the surface
00:12:25I always felt it was a difficult
00:12:26place to go anyway
00:12:27so
00:12:28like everyone else
00:12:30they left
00:12:30they left their performances
00:12:31and to be fair
00:12:32to Neil McCartney and Billy Dodds
00:12:34they've been in there
00:12:34they've tried to organise the team
00:12:35and as you rightfully said
00:12:36they've scored seven goals
00:12:37so they're looking at that
00:12:38I thought that maybe
00:12:40I went with a back three today
00:12:41because when they were
00:12:42with Rangers last season
00:12:43they felt that was important
00:12:44against Celtic
00:12:45so they could push right in
00:12:46on the wide players
00:12:47so it'll be interesting
00:12:48to see how Kilmarnock line up
00:12:49because usually puts Watson
00:12:50on to Callum
00:12:50and tries to run off at Callum
00:12:52and he's got a good record
00:12:53Watson
00:12:53at scoring goals
00:12:54against Celtic
00:12:55so we have to be careful
00:12:56at that
00:12:56I said to you
00:12:57a priority about set plays
00:12:59I mean you see even the size
00:13:00of them coming out of the tunnel
00:13:00compared to Celtic
00:13:01so it's a big thing
00:13:02that Billy Dodds
00:13:03who works at their set plays
00:13:05and does their set plays
00:13:06will definitely be looking at
00:13:07and think that's a place
00:13:08where they can hurt Celtic
00:13:09and you and I have had
00:13:11several conversations about
00:13:12why we don't understand
00:13:13just teams in general
00:13:14don't push players up
00:13:16to the halfway line
00:13:17when they're defending a set piece
00:13:18oh 100%
00:13:19Paul I mean
00:13:20maybe
00:13:21my stupidity
00:13:22I always used to leave three up
00:13:23because it meant the opposition
00:13:24either they bring
00:13:24at least three back
00:13:26or make it four
00:13:27with one in front
00:13:27they'd have two on the edge
00:13:28of the box
00:13:29they'd have one take
00:13:29in the corner
00:13:30so all of a sudden
00:13:31it's down to a numbers game
00:13:32and you've got four in the box
00:13:33then
00:13:33you know
00:13:34so it makes it a little bit easier
00:13:35especially when you're not as dominant
00:13:37and I think that
00:13:38if you asked me what our weakness was
00:13:39that'd be Marcy
00:13:40our weakness would be
00:13:41set plays against
00:13:42and they give far too many away
00:13:44silly set plays
00:13:44so
00:13:45we have to be careful at that
00:13:46but I genuinely think
00:13:48the pace of the front guys
00:13:49is going to be massive for us today
00:13:51that we don't play in front of Kilmarnock
00:13:52and make them defend
00:13:54well
00:13:55four of the seven goals
00:13:56scored by Kilmarnock at Rugby Park
00:13:58in the last two games
00:13:59have been scored by
00:14:00Tyrese John-Jules
00:14:02including a hat-trick
00:14:03against St Mirren
00:14:05on Wednesday night
00:14:06so he's a player
00:14:06that Celtic will have to watch
00:14:08this afternoon
00:14:08while Hattati
00:14:09starts this afternoon
00:14:11of course
00:14:12Arnott Engel's
00:14:13picked up that injury
00:14:14so we hope
00:14:14that won't be a long lay-off
00:14:16for the Belgian midfielder
00:14:18but it's all about
00:14:19the men
00:14:20and the starting 11th
00:14:22this afternoon
00:14:23the green and white hoops
00:14:23of Celtic
00:14:24against the blue and white stripes
00:14:25of Kilmarnock
00:14:27Benjamin Negrin
00:14:28he would not bet
00:14:30against him scoring
00:14:31this afternoon
00:14:32as Celtic
00:14:33push forwards
00:14:35with Hattati
00:14:36Celtic fans
00:14:42and good boys
00:14:43an early goal
00:14:43would certainly
00:14:44be very welcome
00:14:45Julian Araujo
00:14:49has got
00:14:49very impressive
00:14:50since joining on loan
00:14:52from Bournemouth
00:14:52certainly wanting to
00:14:56stake a claim
00:14:56in the Mexico World Cup
00:14:58squad
00:14:58this summer
00:14:59to the third meeting
00:15:00between the sides
00:15:01we spoke about that game
00:15:03at Rugby Park
00:15:03back in September
00:15:04Dyson Maida
00:15:05and Kelechi Iheanacho
00:15:07with the goals
00:15:08to give Celtic
00:15:08the 2-1 win
00:15:09Martin Wills in charge
00:15:10and Celtic 1-4-0
00:15:12at Celtic Park
00:15:13against Kilmarnock
00:15:14Johnny Kenny
00:15:15Kelechi Iheanacho
00:15:15Kelechi Iheanacho
00:15:16Kelechi Iheanacho
00:15:16Kelechi Iheanacho
00:15:16Dyson Maida
00:15:17and Anna Engels
00:15:17penalty
00:15:18Celtic on the front foot
00:15:20the ball volleyed up
00:15:21towards the halfway line
00:15:23Calum McGregor
00:15:25wearing
00:15:26bright green boots
00:15:29the ball spins over
00:15:30to the left hand side
00:15:31to Dyson Maida
00:15:31on this left flank
00:15:33this afternoon
00:15:34Kelechi Iheanacho
00:15:34on the back end
00:15:35so actually the goalscorer
00:15:36from midweek
00:15:37amongst the substitutes
00:15:38a strong Celtic bench
00:15:40Urbaho tries to cut that
00:15:46forward towards Negrin
00:15:47Kelechi Ihean did well
00:15:49to keep that one in play
00:15:50nudges it forward
00:15:52tries to play the 1-2
00:15:53with Adamu
00:15:53but it's cleared up again
00:15:55towards the halfway line
00:15:56and usher back
00:15:57towards
00:15:58Kaskosmeichel
00:15:59that ball
00:16:00that's what Adamu's got to do
00:16:02well he's got to
00:16:03bring free kicks
00:16:04some of that goes
00:16:04for me that's the ball
00:16:11they've got to play
00:16:11it's the right ball
00:16:12Frank it was Kieran Tierney
00:16:13that played the ball
00:16:14over the top there
00:16:14and it's got to make them
00:16:17face their own goal
00:16:18they're not as comfortable
00:16:19at that
00:16:19and you can see
00:16:21they've just adjusted
00:16:21the team slightly
00:16:22they're playing two up
00:16:23front with one off
00:16:24and that's to go
00:16:25against Calum
00:16:26so they're trying to
00:16:27stop Calum being
00:16:28the playmaker obviously
00:16:29Tierney tries to get a ball
00:16:31into the box
00:16:32claiming for
00:16:33the corner
00:16:34that comes off
00:16:36the Celtic player last
00:16:37the referee points
00:16:38for a goal kick
00:16:39Carol Roos
00:16:42former Aberdeen
00:16:43goalkeeper
00:16:44joined
00:16:46on loan
00:16:47in January
00:16:49from Notts County
00:16:50this is his sixth appearance
00:16:52he's had one clean sheet
00:16:53which was against
00:16:54his former club
00:16:54in that final win
00:16:55against Aberdeen
00:16:56he has conceded
00:16:5814 goals
00:16:59and we hope
00:16:59a few more
00:17:00this afternoon
00:17:01here's Kilmarnock
00:17:04venture forward
00:17:06for the first time
00:17:07really in the game
00:17:08he'll move forward
00:17:10Shorling Larson
00:17:11the ball rolled out wide
00:17:12on the right flank
00:17:13certainly committed
00:17:19plenty of men
00:17:20forward
00:17:20Kilmarnock
00:17:21Brad Lyons
00:17:24tries to dig that one
00:17:25through it
00:17:25here come Kilmarnock
00:17:27again
00:17:27Lyons is pushed forward
00:17:28thought about the cross
00:17:30and then rolls it forward
00:17:31it's dipped into the area
00:17:34it's a chance for Kilmarnock
00:17:36John Jones battling
00:17:37for that one
00:17:38in the end
00:17:38it's Benjamin Negrin
00:17:39that brings it clear
00:17:40Celtic
00:17:44got their way
00:17:45out of trouble
00:17:46with the first
00:17:47attacking threat
00:17:49clawing the home side
00:17:50well you can see that
00:17:52once they get the ball wide
00:17:53I think we've got to work
00:17:54however they stopped
00:17:55the cross
00:17:55thankfully it wasn't the best
00:17:56but then
00:17:57Aroho slipped actually
00:17:58and then
00:17:59recovered very well
00:18:00and then Benjamin Negrin
00:18:01showed great composure
00:18:02to take the ball
00:18:03out of the box
00:18:04but
00:18:05it shows you what
00:18:06Kilmarnock are trying to do
00:18:06as they say
00:18:07get the ball forward
00:18:07get any wide areas
00:18:08and get crosses in the box
00:18:10see all the challenges
00:18:15does well to win the ball back
00:18:17here comes Celtic now
00:18:18Dan would try to thread that
00:18:23through the inside left channel
00:18:24but
00:18:24he wasn't strong enough
00:18:26and don't think
00:18:27Dyson Maida would have got it
00:18:28anyway
00:18:28interesting
00:18:30Callum McGregor
00:18:31I think it said
00:18:31played previously
00:18:32against Neil McCann
00:18:33says it
00:18:34indeed
00:18:34and they do try to play
00:18:35football which
00:18:36hopefully in some respects
00:18:37will suit Celtic
00:18:38but here come
00:18:39the home side again
00:18:40driving forward
00:18:41up towards the edge of the box
00:18:42it's another opportunity
00:18:44still the ball bobbing about
00:18:46very untidy
00:18:50inside that penalty
00:18:51and the only thing with that
00:18:52is
00:18:52so far
00:18:53the ball's dropped
00:18:54to a Celtic player
00:18:55but you just never know
00:18:55yes and there's been a few
00:18:57swinging legs as well
00:18:58that's what you've got to be careful
00:18:59and I think that's exactly what he's done
00:19:01I think it was Liam Scales come out there
00:19:02and use Drew's footway at the proper time
00:19:04because you know one of these ones
00:19:05when the player gets a toe poke on it
00:19:07and you've got to kick the ball away
00:19:08you have to be careful now
00:19:10and you've got to put pressure on the ball
00:19:11and you've got to put pressure on the ball
00:19:11there's no use standing in your area
00:19:13and exit Curtis as you say
00:19:40drive the ball by the post
00:19:41turn the space down the left
00:19:50flank
00:19:50drives over the halfway line
00:19:52has to check
00:19:54plays it out back inside
00:19:55Tati can switch it across to
00:19:57Araujo
00:19:58Celtic
00:20:00don't move the play
00:20:01from left to right
00:20:02can't
00:20:04Dwarlock certainly
00:20:05trying to press
00:20:08the ball taken off the toes
00:20:09of Negan
00:20:10there we go
00:20:14Kamalok edge of the box
00:20:15Negan's
00:20:16got back into position
00:20:17trying to block the cross
00:20:19Kamalok
00:20:22forced back into their own half
00:20:28but they still keep possession
00:20:29six minutes on the clock
00:20:31still goalless
00:20:32the ball knocked through
00:20:33into a dangerous area
00:20:35Kamalok switch the ball out wide
00:20:38and again Celtic
00:20:39tunnel back into position
00:20:40Maeda
00:20:42works out one
00:20:43and Tierney's forced to just play it away
00:20:45and out for the floor
00:20:46yeah I think Mags has got to set that back
00:20:49so Kieran can play first time
00:20:50there's too much pace on the ball
00:20:52Brad Lyons into the box
00:20:56goes down
00:20:56and the referee
00:20:57well
00:20:58it looks as if he was swimming there
00:21:00he's pointed for a goal kick
00:21:01it will probably be reviewed by that
00:21:04what's your gut feeling Peter?
00:21:08well I think
00:21:08at first I thought he was pointing to the penalty spot
00:21:12and I think it looks
00:21:14need to see it again here
00:21:16doesn't look as if Callum's got a touch on the ball there
00:21:20I'm not sure
00:21:21I'm 100% wrong
00:21:25well done Van
00:21:28Barbe checks it
00:21:29and
00:21:30no case to answer
00:21:32and Celtic on the attack
00:21:33the ball switched from left to right to Tierney
00:21:34picked up by Yang
00:21:35Araujo goes out wide
00:21:37but Yang cuts
00:21:38inside
00:21:38past one man
00:21:39he's into the box
00:21:40just nudges it to Araujo
00:21:41it's a chance for Negrin
00:21:43the ball blocked
00:21:43by the commandment floor
00:21:44it should be the first caller of the game
00:21:46oh he's got to set it better
00:21:48it's a chance for Benjamin Negrin
00:21:51I know who does well going on the outside
00:21:53but then when the ball's dragged back here
00:21:55you think just a better pass
00:21:57and he actually miskicks it
00:21:59it's a big chance
00:22:00Celtic with the first corner
00:22:04there's only 7 minutes gone
00:22:06but it's at the both sides
00:22:07showing good attacking intent
00:22:08and a first set piece opportunity
00:22:11for Martin O'Neill's side
00:22:13the ball swung in
00:22:14by Kieran Tierney
00:22:15but a referee I think would have
00:22:17words with a couple of the
00:22:19jostling players
00:22:20I don't understand why the Celtic boys get involved
00:22:26because let them do the pushing and pulling
00:22:28because as soon as you start to get involved
00:22:31you take your concentration off the ball
00:22:33they've got to hang on to you then
00:22:34the referee's got to see it
00:22:35so don't get involved with them
00:22:36stay away from it as much as you can
00:22:38it's time the ball's swung in by Tierney
00:22:41looking for a Celtic head
00:22:42which I think was Adamo who got the last touch
00:22:44which goes behind
00:22:45again maybe that case in point
00:22:48which we're talking about
00:22:49it's so clustered inside that 6-yard box
00:22:51all it does it cause chaos
00:22:52well if you look over history
00:22:54the amount of Celtic goal scorers have been
00:22:56off set plays
00:22:57he's been at the back post
00:22:57after the first touch
00:22:58and I always think they leave that
00:23:00too bare at times
00:23:00Benjamin Negrin done it very well
00:23:02I think it was at Livingston earlier in the season
00:23:03and I just think we should do that more often
00:23:06if there are two of them all crossed it up
00:23:08somebody wins it
00:23:08there's no doubt in that area
00:23:09Negrin nods it down to his captain
00:23:14plays it across to Tierney
00:23:15works it out wide
00:23:17Maida
00:23:17edge of the box
00:23:18forward now to Hitate
00:23:20he's forced back out
00:23:21Tierney's there
00:23:22takes a touch
00:23:23curls it low
00:23:25I think everybody was inspecting the high one
00:23:27he cleverly played it low
00:23:28but can we not clear the lines
00:23:29throw into Celtic
00:23:30but that was opposite
00:23:31and I thought Rio Hitate set it back
00:23:33so Ciaran could play it first time
00:23:34and I thought Ciaran should have
00:23:36as soon as he takes a touch
00:23:37it allows Kilmarnock to adjust
00:23:38and as you say
00:23:39it wasn't the best
00:23:39ball in
00:23:40to be fair to Kilmarnock
00:23:47Kilmarnock are playing
00:23:48pushing up
00:23:48they're trying to make it more
00:23:49a 4-3-3
00:23:50I'd say that about Watson
00:23:52Watson's very good at going
00:23:54and stealing the ball
00:23:55if you're short with your passing
00:23:56he done that with Benjamin Negrin
00:23:57if you're back to the game
00:23:58lovely skill there from Araha
00:24:01fires it
00:24:04over to the left hand side
00:24:06looking for Maeda
00:24:07he'll keep that one in play
00:24:08knocks it back
00:24:10Tierney edge of the box
00:24:11rolls it across
00:24:12Yang caught in two minds
00:24:15challenges
00:24:18I don't think there's too much wrong
00:24:20with that challenge
00:24:21but
00:24:21he's penalised
00:24:23and danger averted
00:24:24for Kilmarnock
00:24:25yeah I think
00:24:26Hitati's done the right thing
00:24:27when Yang's went to play it to him
00:24:29he realises he's offside
00:24:30and doesn't want to go towards the ball
00:24:33because then he gives it
00:24:33a free kick away
00:24:34I agree with you
00:24:36I thought Yang actually
00:24:37hit the ball off the player's foot
00:24:39and that's what tripped him up
00:24:40you know
00:24:40but obviously maybe coming from behind
00:24:42I think it was the classic
00:24:44I'll fall down and get a film
00:24:45yeah yeah
00:24:45listen I'll do the exact same for sure
00:24:47long clearance from the Kilmarnock goalkeeper
00:24:53Scales meets that one with his head
00:24:55knocked inside from Maeda
00:24:57he's on the run
00:24:58down the left hand side
00:24:59gets there
00:25:00plays it across
00:25:01wonderful ball
00:25:02and
00:25:02falls in the end
00:25:03has to knock it behind
00:25:04for a corner kick
00:25:05good wing play from Dyson Maeda
00:25:07yeah it was good wing play
00:25:08with Adamu
00:25:09sets it off to him
00:25:10he gives that big heavy touch
00:25:11but he gets there as we know he does
00:25:12but this is a brilliant cross
00:25:13considering
00:25:14you know
00:25:15with the balls in the air
00:25:16and whatever
00:25:16and I love to see that
00:25:18a natural
00:25:18well I know he's not a natural
00:25:20left footer
00:25:20but putting in first time
00:25:22instead of cutting back
00:25:22it always causes problems
00:25:24for defenders
00:25:25Celtic with
00:25:26another corner kick
00:25:27another opportunity
00:25:28to test the home defence
00:25:30delivered out swinger
00:25:33from Kieran Tierney
00:25:34it's missed by everyone
00:25:36McGregor
00:25:39holds it back out
00:25:40way to Tierney
00:25:41on this left wing
00:25:42back inside his captain
00:25:44Hitati's in the middle
00:25:45commandment pressing
00:25:49Celtic still
00:25:50half possession
00:25:52McGregor clips that one forward
00:25:55looking for the runner
00:25:56Kieran Tierney
00:25:56knocks it
00:25:59again looking for
00:26:00the corner kick
00:26:01well it's
00:26:01a touch
00:26:03I think he said
00:26:04that's twice
00:26:04and I think he believes
00:26:05it was a corner kick
00:26:06on both occasions
00:26:07but the result
00:26:08a goal kick
00:26:09to Kermanok
00:26:10just over 11 minutes
00:26:11of the first half
00:26:13go and still goalless
00:26:14yeah but I think that's
00:26:15the ball
00:26:15the couple of chances
00:26:17we've had
00:26:17the opportunities we've had
00:26:18we've went that little bit
00:26:19longer
00:26:20and the Kermanok boys
00:26:21don't have the pace
00:26:22to keep up with the boys
00:26:23so once they get there
00:26:24you're getting corner kicks
00:26:25or you're getting an opportunity
00:26:27to get in the box
00:26:28so
00:26:28I'm not a bit happy
00:26:30the way the game started
00:26:31in that respect
00:26:32it's mostly in the Kermanok half
00:26:33now that I will penalise
00:26:41for the challenge
00:26:42on Thompson
00:26:43it's a free kick
00:26:44on the halfway line
00:26:45with Motherwell last season
00:26:53got a red card
00:26:55at Ibrox
00:26:56so he missed the
00:26:58game against St Mirren
00:26:59in midweek
00:27:00let's come a look
00:27:02back in their own half
00:27:04Itati presses the ball
00:27:05it's played
00:27:07forward
00:27:08Terny does well
00:27:09to block that one
00:27:10knocks it forward
00:27:11the Celtic
00:27:11have possession
00:27:12down the left flank
00:27:13Itati moves inside
00:27:15switches it across
00:27:16looking for
00:27:17Yang
00:27:18but it's cleared
00:27:19again over the halfway line
00:27:20and suddenly Kermanok
00:27:21on the attack
00:27:21through the middle
00:27:22it's a chance for Kermanok
00:27:24and it's straight into the arms
00:27:26of Casper Schmeichel
00:27:30but I will be disappointed
00:27:31not to have tested the Celtic
00:27:33goalkeeper more
00:27:34here comes Kermanok again
00:27:37flick on
00:27:38it comes off
00:27:38Scales
00:27:39and the home side
00:27:39have their first corner
00:27:41their first set piece
00:27:41to test the Celtic defence
00:27:43yeah they've been positive as well
00:27:45which is a team that's not usually
00:27:46doesn't usually sit in
00:27:47if you get away with one
00:27:49you know you think to yourself
00:27:50it's an opportunity
00:27:50to put another high cross in
00:27:52but they've not connected well
00:27:53but this one I think
00:27:54trust he's got to be on the cover
00:27:55a little bit
00:27:56it's too square
00:27:57William Scales
00:27:58so any touch
00:27:59he's going to take it
00:28:00between you
00:28:00so I think he's just got to cover
00:28:02when the ball's an opposite defender
00:28:03and that's what you usually get told
00:28:05as a youngster
00:28:05couple of shots there
00:28:07from Finlay Curtis
00:28:08first one wide of the target
00:28:11second one saved by
00:28:12Kasper Schmeichel
00:28:13and you can see how many players
00:28:14are in and around
00:28:15the Celtic goalkeeper
00:28:17as Thompson delivers this one
00:28:20in swing up
00:28:21goes to the far post
00:28:22it's headed back
00:28:22across the six yard box
00:28:23trustee wins the header
00:28:24still Kilmarnock
00:28:26in the shot
00:28:28straight down the middle
00:28:29and again saved
00:28:30by Kasper Schmeichel
00:28:32as I say that's
00:28:34always my biggest worry
00:28:35you're always happy
00:28:36your heart's in your mouth
00:28:38every time a set plays come in
00:28:40ball played over the top
00:28:42looking for Dyson Leida
00:28:43flag stays down
00:28:45Kamal have possession back
00:28:47they've given it away
00:28:48over on the far side
00:28:50he's very unfortunate
00:28:51if he takes it the other way
00:28:53he's in and goal
00:28:54well they've had about
00:29:04two or three shots
00:29:04on target Kilmarnock
00:29:05but nothing that's
00:29:07troubled Kasper Schmeichel
00:29:09too much
00:29:10as you say
00:29:12it's not been that clear
00:29:14and someone seems to be
00:29:15wobbling about
00:29:15when it's a set player
00:29:16across in the box
00:29:17so we have to be careful
00:29:18on it because
00:29:19the likes of Watson
00:29:20he's got a good record
00:29:21against Celtic
00:29:22when the ball drops
00:29:22in the box
00:29:23he arrives on it
00:29:23quite well
00:29:24as a midfield player
00:29:25so we have to try
00:29:27and get better
00:29:28distance and height
00:29:29on our clearances
00:29:30instead of knocking
00:29:30them down at the edge
00:29:31of the box
00:29:31Kamal are trying to
00:29:38work their way forward
00:29:40down the left hand side
00:29:41throwing just at
00:29:42the halfway line
00:29:42they're starting to have a
00:29:45second half
00:29:45they're going to go through
00:29:47the right hand side
00:29:48and they're taking a battle
00:29:49for the title
00:29:50Kamal are looking to
00:29:51battle to avoid relegation
00:29:52they're currently 11th in the table
00:29:54three points behind St Mirren
00:29:58but three points ahead of bottom
00:30:00place Livingstone
00:30:01there's plenty of football to be played
00:30:04here they come again
00:30:05down this left hand side
00:30:06but they've all knocked out of play
00:30:07for throwing deep in Celtic territory
00:30:10That's what I'm saying, people talk about the pitch, I think they've won four games this season, I think one was in the last game of January and one was the other week there
00:30:19So you always think that gives them a help playing in this, this season it's not been the case and it's quite surprising because of the quality of a player I think they have
00:30:33Come on little goalkeeper, I think's that one over to the right hand side
00:30:36The ball not long, looking for some willing runners, Scales gets there and Tierney sweeps up behind him, launches it back up towards the halfway line
00:30:47Dyson Maida, runs the free kick, come on up players and fans not happy
00:30:59I don't think Seanan Larson can have too much complaints, coveting the Dyson Maida jersey
00:31:05Well before the final whistle
00:31:08I think that both of them are at it, but you always think that the forward always seems to get the benefit
00:31:25Scales out wide to Tierney, come on up pressing, good first time touch there from Dyson Maida
00:31:31That was better for Adamu there, he turned the ball in, held it to an extra touch, didn't rush it
00:31:42And allows him to get support play from Rio Hotate
00:31:46Falling ball intercepted, Lyons then gives it away, Maida under pressure, keeps possession and Tierney
00:31:57Right footed, plays that ball over the top, looking for the willing one of Adamu, but in the end comfortable for the commandment goalkeeper
00:32:04Come on up to go long, well knocked on but Scales does well, Araujo has a bit of space on this right hand side, he just checks and gives it back to his goalkeeper
00:32:29Scales, nudges it out wide, Tierney can go down the left flank, Patati's inside, nudges it forward to Maida
00:32:42Maida runs into two command-up players but manages to win the throw-in
00:32:46But Ciaran's right, as soon as Maida comes short, Adamu's got to run that channel in because the defender's coming all the way with Maida
00:32:52Because he didn't want to be turning face him up, so he's got to use that space
00:32:56Turn it back to Scales, cross now to Kasper Schmeichel, Celtic enjoying the bulk of possession
00:33:14Certainly in terms of chances, probably the more clear-cut chances of anything certainly on target have been from Kamala
00:33:20Yeah, as I say, because they keep the ball alive when it comes into the box
00:33:24And I know that Maida will be very conscious of that, of course
00:33:28You just think, if we could get more of that channel ball at times, sometimes, yes, you talked about having more possession
00:33:35Sometimes that's a good thing, sometimes it's not so good because it means you're playing a lot of square passes at times without being direct
00:33:40And I think with the pace that I spoke about prior to the match at the front three I've got, you've got to utilise that more
00:33:48Here comes Ciaran Tierney, down the left flank, Maida cuts inside a chance to shoot
00:33:53It's on target, punched away by Roos
00:33:55And as far as I have I hope
00:33:58Callum McGregor's got a bit of space, can he open up?
00:34:01Watch out wide to Tierney, Tierney forward to Maida again
00:34:04It's back across the section out of the box and Thompson takes it off the toes of Negrin and clears his lines
00:34:09Well it's brilliant defending because Negrin's swinging his leg in yellow
00:34:13Slack pass and suddenly Celtic back into the box, Araujo plays it across and hooked away again
00:34:19Kamaluk desperate defending and the ball taken away from Yang
00:34:23Now Kamaluk almost getting themselves into trouble
00:34:28Here they come, John Gerrard straying through up towards the box, he's into the area, checks back
00:34:34Gets a break of the ball, cuts onto his right foot, takes a shot
00:34:37And they close it beyond Kasper Schmeichel from the tightest angles
00:34:42And they're 20 minutes on the clock, it's Kamaluk 1, Celtic now
00:34:47We're going to get Gets a fantastic finish
00:34:51But as we said about the cover, we've dragged the two centre backs, we've been dragged into the corner
00:34:56And we said they would do that with the movement of the two strikers
00:34:59That leaves opening, but when Jules comes in, to be fair, you'd be delighted if there's any Celtic player finish the ball as sharply as that
00:35:10Probably the disappointment from Mark Lemieux that they didn't cover the shot inside that
00:35:14Well I think, see here, look, look how Trusty does nothing out in it, now look over skills and Trusty are
00:35:19Now Kieran's coming round, Trusty's trying to get back in, he should never be allowed to tuck back
00:35:24Trusty's got to show him towards the line and again he's got to show him towards the line realising he's a right footer
00:35:29So Trusty's got to keep him going towards the byline, there's no doubt
00:35:32He can't kick the ball with his left foot there, so he's got to go there again, but he allows him to step in
00:35:37But as I say, once he steps in, he fires into that far corner fantastically well
00:35:42Good finish from the English striker, eighth goal of the season for Kamaluk
00:35:48His fifth in his last three appearances at Rugby Park
00:35:51All goes beyond Kasper Schmeichel and Celtic will have to come from behind here at Rugby Park
00:35:57Hit on the counter attack there when Celtic had the ball in the box that they suddenly cleared and
00:36:06I thought it was, well, it's not a good goal for us and Trusty, let me say that to you
00:36:10Because even the ball's played up the line, I think he goes weak to the header
00:36:14But he should be dominating that and heading it straight back in
00:36:16So he lets the ball go over his head, so it means Liam Scales is caught out
00:36:19And he's got to get across the pitch
00:36:21So now your two centre backs are on the touch line over the opposite side of the pitch
00:36:25Ciaran tries to come around the cover, but then Trusty gets back in, you think he's done his job
00:36:30But then, for me it's lazy defending and the respect he doesn't force him knowing that he's right footed
00:36:35If you assess your players you're playing against, you know he's a right footer
00:36:40You don't let him back in to his strong foot
00:36:43Ciaran Tierney penalised for that challenge in Ciaran Tierney who landed awkwardly on this office
00:36:49Wins the free kick, just a naughty one there from Cielty, just barges in
00:36:54I don't know why he was complaining about it
00:36:56Celtic had the free kick but Kamarnock had possession back now in the middle of the park with our captain
00:37:00Watson, slips past Hattati, rolls that one out to the right hand side
00:37:08They'll come Kamarnock up towards the edge of the Celtic penalty area
00:37:16Ball flipped back
00:37:18The ball delivered into the box and Ciaran Tierney clears it, wasn't the best corner
00:37:23Kamarnock have time just to gather that one at the back
00:37:26They're in possession, their tails are up, 23 minutes on the clock and they have the opening goal this afternoon
00:37:41They're going to come again, again it's face down the right hand side
00:37:45Plumey in the middle, looking to try and deliver the ball into the box
00:37:51Celtic have to defend this one
00:37:54Missed by Araujo
00:37:56Out on the far side
00:37:58I hope the Kamarnock player could possibly have a good opening
00:38:01Except he didn't bother trying to keep that one in play
00:38:04I think he's thinking that the defenders got a touch but he didn't obviously
00:38:09But it always knew it was going to be a difficult game and I don't think it was a surprise mark in the way the game has it
00:38:13I agree with you, Kamarnock have played well, they've got good players, they've played with a team that's got
00:38:17They've added a little bit to it, Hoogle coming in from Manchester United, no mug
00:38:21Obviously they've got a striker scoring a lot of goals at this moment in time playing the full conference
00:38:26And Curtis, to be fair to him when he was at Rangers I thought, they impressed as a white player so
00:38:30You have all that combination
00:38:32And obviously winning the last couple of games obviously gives you that belief
00:38:36What Celtic have to do is they've got to more than match that and obviously they've got to carry a bigger threat going forward
00:38:42Kamarnock have the ball deep in their own half, up towards the halfway line
00:38:49One captain presses the other but Lions be able to knock that one back to the edge of the box
00:38:54Kamarnock build from the back, just over 20 minutes in the first half remaining as the ball launched long
00:39:00And it's Kamarnock leading by a goal to nil
00:39:03The ball knocked inside and it's John Jules into the area
00:39:07Still Kamarnock baffled for that one
00:39:13Just goes behind Shorning Larsson but Kamarnock again still picking up the ball
00:39:19Curtis forgot what it was but he's still in possession
00:39:22And Tierney knocks it out of play and Kamarnock have the throw in
00:39:30Yeah it's going to be a tough afternoon, Kieran noses up against it
00:39:33As I say Curtis wants to take you on
00:39:37It's going to be a good battle that one
00:39:40Kamarnock in possession back towards the halfway line Celtic pressing
00:39:46Lions floats that one into the box
00:39:49Met by Austin Trusty knocked away
00:39:52It's Kamarnock again
00:39:54Gally the ball
00:39:57Enjoying a bit of possession the home side
00:39:59Goal slotted down the line but there's no one there in Tierney
00:40:10Able to play that one back to Hattati
00:40:12Moves in off that left flank
00:40:14Still there Hattati
00:40:18Forward to Araujo, a bit of space, Yang's out wide
00:40:22Gives it to the Celtic winger back inside
00:40:25Araujo up towards the half the edge of the area plays it to Adamu
00:40:29Hattati shot blocked, still bobbing about
00:40:32Adamu eventually smothered by Roos
00:40:35As Dyson Maeder tried to sweep at it, the ball bobbing about there
00:40:43But in the end Kamarnock happy to gather that one
00:40:50It was an opportunity once it gets into Adamu here
00:40:52You just think we're going to get the bodies round about it
00:40:55He's unfortunate, he just goes behind Rio Hattati
00:40:58Then when the ball's coming to line, he'll be going to get that first touch
00:41:02He just couldn't get it
00:41:07He just couldn't get his foot on that one under pressure from Curtis
00:41:10and in the end
00:41:11Commander goalkeeper gathers that
00:41:13He launches it long now, so Celtic with
00:41:17a half chance to try and get the equaliser
00:41:20The ball knocked forward up towards Thompson, he's entered the box
00:41:27plays it across the six-hand blocks
00:41:29and Scales intercepts all as far as John Dules
00:41:33Plops it back, into the six-hand blocks, it's headed across
00:41:35It's a save, oh, Kasper Schmeichel couldn't get the parrot away
00:41:40And Kamarnock, with 27 minutes on the court, have doubled their leads
00:41:45Oh, disappointing goal for Celtic, Therese got Kasper Schmeichel might have got a touch on it
00:41:52It looks as if it's Joe Heagle on his first start
00:41:55Gets his first goal and Celtic failed by two goals for nil
00:42:00I don't really know what happened there
00:42:01When he gets there, there's a tick of deflection bounce off
00:42:04and then the header just seems to be taking eternity
00:42:08But yet again, the runner goes, we've not went to match the runner
00:42:11I think Scales has done really well at first
00:42:16But then you're saying here, he's got to work hard to stop the cross coming in
00:42:24When the ball goes back out here, I just think
00:42:26He's got to be close up, that ball can't come in
00:42:29It's not the greatest
00:42:32And listen, they've got the strikers dug it out
00:42:35Just got there ahead of Scales, an agonising stretch for Kasper Schmeichel, just couldn't get a touch on it
00:42:48And the former Manchester United player has doubled Kamarnock's lead
00:42:53Well, a tough task has got to be even tougher
00:42:58Celtic now find themselves trailing at Rugby Park by two goals to nil
00:43:05Now the home side do look dangerous whenever they get forward into that last run
00:43:08Alright, there's no doubt of that, I mean when you watch it and you see Thompson going
00:43:12I don't know who's been caught, ball watching, the ball goes in behind him
00:43:16And Thompson continues his run, first and foremost
00:43:18You think we've dealt with it when the ball comes in the box week, Liam Scales with positional play
00:43:22Gets cleared it, but then again
00:43:25And I hate saying it about players, but I think Trusty's got to work really
00:43:29So much harder to stop the cross coming in
00:43:31I know it wasn't the greatest cross, they'd probably say it's a bit of a shank
00:43:35But he's got to, he's got to get his body there so the ball's hitting off him
00:43:40Here comes Celtic with Maeda, good first touch, skips past his man, he's a good delivery, cuts it back
00:43:45It's Negrin inside the six-yard box, but he's taken off his toes and cleared away by Kilmarnock
00:43:54The home side will certainly galvanise with that first goal
00:43:58Not being through is by the second, they lead by two goals to nil
00:44:03As we approach the half hour, Martin O'Neill on that touchline shouting instructions to his players
00:44:08I think we'll be disappointed in that, about ten minute period before that, and it was dropping
00:44:16Coming off our strikers or whatever, getting into the strikers
00:44:18The midfield were so far off and come on, we've got time to pick their head up and play walls forward
00:44:23Seen there with a great ball, the ball pushed away
00:44:27Yang got a touch on it
00:44:29Well, it looked right on the line, but Roos happy just to get his hands to it
00:44:33Hattati clips it across the six-yard box, and it's smothered by the goalkeeper
00:44:37That's Celtic's best chance of the game so far
00:44:39Oh there's no doubt it is, you know, to be fair
00:44:43Getting at the back post, I think there's a big opportunity
00:44:46Maeda's done well here, he's got there
00:44:50And Roos has reacted very well actually
00:44:53He's done well, the goalkeeper in the end
00:44:57Just manages to keep that one out
00:44:59And Celtic with half an hour gone, Trejo at Rugby Park by two goals
00:45:06So now the goal in the 20th minute from Tyrese John-Jules
00:45:09Joe Pugel with his first goal for Kamala, 27 minutes
00:45:13And Celtic will have to battle their way back
00:45:16into this game without to take anything
00:45:19All three points really this afternoon, they're going to have to score at least three goals
00:45:25Tierney on this left-hand side has to check back
00:45:30Scales
00:45:33He knocks it forward to Maeda, back again to Tierney
00:45:38Tierney goes down the left-hand side, drives forward up towards the edge of the area
00:45:42Plays it low again, Thompson gets it ahead of Yang, it was a good ball from Tierney
00:45:47This time the Kamala left-hand side was alert and suddenly a high ball forward
00:45:53Google slipped and Scales manages to usher that one back to Kasper Schmeiko
00:45:57It was a brilliant ball actually for Kieran Tierney, Paul
00:46:02You've got the bodies in the box but as I said, too many are coming towards it
00:46:06Negrin skips past one man, tries to slide that one forward looking for Yang
00:46:11Townsend ushers that one out of play and it's a goal kick for Kilmarnock
00:46:16I think you were looking at it earlier on there and Callum McGregor's right, Liam Skales has got the ball
00:46:23Kieran Tierney's wide open, Maeda's wide open, he's got a defender maybe 10 yards away from him
00:46:30And he turns and gives it to us and trusts him, Ciaran's trying to get him to say go on, pass it into
00:46:34Callum's trying to get him to pass it to Ciaran Tierney quicker
00:46:37Because Kilmarnock are already broke down then, once Kilmarnock are back in their shape
00:46:40They make it difficult for you
00:46:43Giving the ball away but Negrin returns a compliment and the ball back with Kilmarnock Manik, the captain
00:46:49Can roll it across from the back, Kilmarnock happy to build up from the back when necessary, if not
00:47:05we'll just play that one long and again they've picked up possession and suddenly they're driving
00:47:09forward, space down this right flank, Maeda back in support, calling Larson across block at the expense of a throw-in
00:47:18I think you're 100% right there Paul, it's too easy to play the ball forward
00:47:21I thought that was the same case against Dundee last week
00:47:26Kilmarnock, Kilty, flag for offside but I don't think MD saw that run there, thankfully the flag went up
00:47:31Yeah, but as I was talking about there I think it's too easy for Kilmarnock's back
00:47:34two centre and a half to pick their head up and be able to play the ball forward
00:47:38You can't make it comfortable for anybody and I just think for that 10 minute period I was speaking about
00:47:43I thought they were doing that too comfortably, Robbie Deeson up pushing balls into midfield or
00:47:47dropping them into strikers, they should never have that time to be able to pick good passes out
00:47:52and I think that's something that Maeda will probably have to adjust to, having the team to be more
00:47:55aggressive, whether it's Negra or Atate going and putting pressure on the midfield more
00:48:05Potential 1-2 between Adamu and Maeda doesn't come off
00:48:10and Kilmarnock have the ball in their own half
00:48:18Estonian internationalist on the ball at the moment
00:48:23and the player who joined the club in January this year
00:48:27Adamu takes off the toes and Kilmarnock player
00:48:31knocks it on to Maeda, Maeda first touch just allowed Kilmarnock to scramble that one clear up
00:48:36towards the halfway line, throw in to Celtic
00:48:41Celtic looking for a way back into this game just over 10 minutes of the first half remaining
00:48:46not really been too many opportunities to test Kelroos
00:48:50did make a good save with Yang tried to bundle the ball in at the back post
00:48:56but it's the home side who have had the ball in the back of the net on two occasions
00:49:00it's Atate the ball taking off his toes, still Atate
00:49:07well he was complaining about the ball
00:49:11but he was caught too quickly there by Brad Lyons
00:49:14well that's what I said earlier on Benjamin Negrim was the same, he got caught with it
00:49:18Lyons and you're talking to Watson that that's what they're hoping that you're going to receive the
00:49:24ball you're back to the game so they can steal it off you
00:49:27Celtic on the edge of the Kilmarnock penalty area
00:49:30switched over to the left hand side to Tierney, Tierney curls it to the far post, there's no one there
00:49:36in the end Kilmarnock managed to clear the lines up towards the halfway line and Scales
00:49:43knocks it out wide to the left hand side, Celtic pushing forward again
00:49:47Negrim tries to clear that forward to Maeda, intercepted and Kilmarnock have possession
00:50:02and they've managed to pass their way through the ball slotted through the middle, trusty swept up
00:50:09inside the last 10 minutes of the first half and Celtic find themselves
00:50:19Trailing by two goals to no, Tyrese, John Joes and Joe Hugo with the goals for the home side
00:50:31So it will have to battle their way back into this game
00:50:34Cups that one forward looking for Yang into the box, Yang cuts it back looking for Negrim
00:50:40Maeda, Maeda, it's blocked by Thompson
00:50:44And when the ball dropped back to Negrim I thought he was going to get the shot
00:50:47his first touch let him down but Maeda had the shot on target but it was saved
00:50:52blocked on the line, Kilmarnock breathe a sigh of relief but Celtic push forward again
00:51:00Yang, this time the touch allows Thompson to knock it out of play
00:51:06A good chance for Celtic, Peter. It's a massive chance and you've got to say it's good defending also
00:51:11Yang does well to get in there but then when Negrim takes the chance you think we've lost it but then
00:51:15it bounces back here you think it's going to end up in the back of it but yet again
00:51:19Thompson defended it really really well. Here comes Celtic, Negrim, edge of the box, fires it
00:51:27Well it goes out of play at the corner line
00:51:33and Kilmarnock have possession
00:51:38and with just about eight minutes of the first half remaining they have the lead so Martin O'Neill
00:51:42I've got a lot to think about at half time, the Celtic bends this afternoon, the outfield options
00:51:48Svanshira, McCown, Oxlade, Chamberlain, Tenecte, Siracchi, Murray, Forrest and Donovan
00:51:56I think the biggest thing for us is this simple thing
00:51:59getting bullied in this sort of area of the pitch too often
00:52:03you know you've got to be more aggressive to win your header or your tackle in there and too many times I think it's been
00:52:09nearly doing something and then on the other side of the pitch I think it's been too easy for them to play out so
00:52:13that combination you talked about and talked about it you've always got to play with intensity, commitment
00:52:19all these things and I just feel
00:52:22Kilmarnock it's been too easy for them to play the ball forward
00:52:25and if you're allowing me to do that probably the strongest part of their team's going to be their
00:52:28frontline as they're proven over the last few games is that eight goals or something
00:52:34so you have to respect that not that they're barely are in the league just to respect what they've
00:52:38been done in the last few weeks
00:52:39Yeah he skips forward, Negrin wide on the right, Adamu's ahead of him
00:52:46Negrin lays it for Adamu, back now to Araujo
00:52:52again Kilmarnock with plenty of bodies behind the ball
00:52:55Tierney, Celtic sitting there looking to at least reduce the deficit before the break
00:53:04Tierney again down this left flank
00:53:07thought about the cross
00:53:08Atate can move forward, gives it to Negrin
00:53:13Negrin takes the shot, it's wide of the right hand post
00:53:17for Kilmarnock
00:53:19be another sigh of relief still with that two goal lead
00:53:23At least we're getting bodies in the box and we're getting balls into the box
00:53:26okay the final thing's not been great yet
00:53:29but hopefully we're going to get more bodies in the box
00:53:32I don't want to see Adamu what he'd done a couple of minutes ago, they ran away to outside right
00:53:36and then you end up with no strikers in the middle of the pitch
00:53:41You can see him there, he's wanting to go one after the ball and that's exactly what I'm saying
00:53:44Celtic should be doing to them, because Celtic would give you some better players
00:53:49and I just think their backline's getting too much time to put simple balls into the front men
00:53:53which has caused us a problem
00:54:00I'm happy to shepherd that one out for a goal kick
00:54:04well we have just about five minutes of the first half remaining
00:54:08there'll not really be too much time added on
00:54:11I don't think there's not really been any stoppages
00:54:14the game's flowed pretty quickly
00:54:18certainly in terms of the only statistic that matters
00:54:22it's not a good one in terms of Celtic so far
00:54:24that score line in the top left hand corner
00:54:27doesn't make for a good reading
00:54:28the Celtic come again, trusty up towards the halfway line
00:54:33slots it out wide to Yang
00:54:37cuts inside, tries to knock it through to Adamu and Kamarnock clear the lines
00:54:44Thompson fires it low, McGregor intercepts but Kamarnock pick up the loose ball
00:54:48and Sydney over space over the halfway line for the home side, Maeda
00:54:54well, his pace sometimes takes players by surprise
00:54:58which has been the case
00:54:59the crossfield pass intercepted
00:55:01Thompson drives forward down the left hand side up against
00:55:05Araujo, cuts inside
00:55:07at Drex, Kamarnock, ball clucked across
00:55:12interested back by Araujo
00:55:14slightly frantic in the last few minutes Peter
00:55:17Yes it has been, Araujo defends the ball in here
00:55:21but as I say when the ball's going forward
00:55:24I just think it's too slow, this is shooting Kamarnock
00:55:28he was going back like this and I just think that's when
00:55:30I was talking about the first period when you're putting the fast boys on
00:55:34why would you play across your back too many times
00:55:36and I just think that'll be frustrating Martin
00:55:38you can see him at the side of the pitch
00:55:40the first pass has always gone back the way
00:55:42get it wide, get running at them
00:55:44put them under pressure and we've created a couple of chances from
00:55:48Maeda goes towards the touch line
00:55:50thought about the cross, it's blocked and Celtic
00:55:53have the third corner of the first half
00:55:56It's just simple things like that, I mean
00:55:58getting a corner or anything like that
00:56:00makes it important because it means you're getting up the pitch
00:56:02we're going across the pitch, Kamarnock are comfortable
00:56:07Another set piece opportunity, a chance for Celtic to reduce the deficit
00:56:12plenty of players forward, plenty of players back
00:56:14Tierney swings that one
00:56:16Headed back in by Adamu but into the arms of Kelroos
00:56:20and comfortably gathered by the Dutch goalkeeper
00:56:25I think you said Paul, one ball takes every player out and then the header back in
00:56:28all the players are still standing bunched together
00:56:30you've got to make sure there's movement round about it that
00:56:33anybody can go into a knockdown
00:56:35but we're all standing together
00:56:36you've got to read these situations better
00:56:43Kamarnock have the ball on the edge of their own area
00:56:45back to their goalkeeper
00:56:51and they'll start building from the back again
00:56:55knocked into the middle of the park
00:56:59Thompson has space down this left flank to move forward
00:57:02up towards the halfway line, slots it back inside
00:57:05the lead gets a return
00:57:11throw-in goes
00:57:13well I think
00:57:14Diane thought it was a throw-in to Celtic
00:57:19not sure if it was the assistant or the referee gave it the other way
00:57:21and Kamarnock, watch to Dom Thomason's surprise, have the throw-in
00:57:27they have about two minutes of the first half remaining
00:57:30I'm sure they'll want to go in without having conceded a goal
00:57:38Paul just goes out, the Celtic have the throw-in
00:57:40Juliano Ajo on the ball, 90 seconds
00:57:55time counting down
00:57:57Martin O'Neill
00:57:59shout the instructions
00:58:01I'm sure he'll have a lot to say at half-time
00:58:02the Celtic manager
00:58:04as Kamarnock win that ball
00:58:06as Hatate comes off the back of his head
00:58:08Gregor battles for it and gives it to Tierney
00:58:10Celtic
00:58:12on the attack again
00:58:13Maeda on that left-hand side
00:58:15plays it across, it's a good ball
00:58:16and Kamarnock forced to clear it
00:58:18a good cross from the left-hand side
00:58:20and Kamarnock managed to clear the lines
00:58:25He's put a couple of great crosses in but that one
00:58:27I thought he had a 1v1 situation with a lot of space behind
00:58:31to attack the defender and get in the box
00:58:34even though he put a fantastic ball on
00:58:36I thought that time was the one he could have knocked it and run him
00:58:38Juliano Ajo goes over to take this
00:58:40it's going to be an in-swinger with his right foot
00:58:42again a lot of jostling inside the box
00:58:50once more the referee picking out two culprits
00:58:55I mean he could pick any two from about 22
00:58:58but I think Austin, me from Austin Trusty at times gets too involved with opposition
00:59:03he should just get into an area
00:59:04I don't know how he can header the ball from there
00:59:06I genuinely don't
00:59:07just come away from him
00:59:08bring these out in an area he's not comfortable
00:59:10the ball glanced wide by Scales
00:59:13just wide in the left-hand post
00:59:15I told you Liam Scales is the only one that'll get a header on the ball
00:59:17but that area at the back post ball that was the one I was talking about earlier
00:59:21all Celtic strikers were always told that's the area you've got to be
00:59:26one player has to be there because nine times out of ten
00:59:28if the ball's headed like this at the front area
00:59:30that's where it arrives
00:59:31either he's in the back of the net or you've got a striker or a
00:59:34a chance but it goes wide of the target
00:59:42and Celtic still trail by two goals to know
00:59:45and added time at the end of the first half as the goalkeeper launches this one long
00:59:50Trusty meets that one
00:59:52Adama, Hattati knocks that one forward
00:59:55in the end it's straight back to Kilroos
00:59:58is happy just to gather that one
00:59:59we'll wait until Dizemaida appears
01:00:05the end has fallen incessantly
01:00:08at Rugby Park
01:00:09but it's the home side and the home supporters
01:00:11the happier of the two
01:00:13with those two goals
01:00:15and here they come again
01:00:16perhaps one last chance
01:00:18they're on the edge of the box
01:00:23the ball curled into the area
01:00:26the scale's still challenging
01:00:28it's a shot just wide of the target
01:00:31Michael Marnock
01:00:32well Curtis again with a chance
01:00:37three goals in his 26th appearances for Rangers
01:00:39trying to score for Camarlot this afternoon
01:00:41and there is the halftime whistle
01:00:43and it's not been a good first half for Celtic
01:00:46goals in the 20th minute from Tyrese John-Jules
01:00:51followed by Joel Hugels head on in 27 minutes
01:00:54and Celtic find themselves beat up
01:00:56trailing by two goals to nil
01:00:58I think you've got to say on chance he's created
01:01:00Camarlot deserve to be in front
01:01:02I just think we've got to play with more aggression when the ball's in
01:01:05under Camarlot's back line
01:01:06because they're allowing it too easy a pass forward
01:01:09you've got to hurry the opposition up
01:01:10make them miss kick the ball
01:01:11make them their passes not simple
01:01:13they're able to lift their head
01:01:14drop it into strikers
01:01:16and down that side of the pitch
01:01:17and I think it's two bad goals as I said
01:01:19because we've one we've allowed to cross in with trusty
01:01:22and the other one was he allowed me back onto his right foot
01:01:25so and it's all in the same area of the pitch
01:01:27so Martin will be really disappointed
01:01:29I think he's I think he will make substitutions at halftime actually
01:01:33which is very unusual
01:01:34but I think he'll make a couple
01:01:35because he needs a little bit more energy up the further end of the field
01:01:38Well certainly we hope for better in the second half
01:01:40but halftime here at Rugby Park
01:01:43it's Kilmarnock 2 Celtic 0
01:01:44we're going to take a short breather
01:01:46we're going to look back at some previous games against Kilmarnock
01:01:48hopefully we'll get some inspiration from them
01:01:52as we uh hope for better in the second half
01:01:55but here are some previous games against Kilmarnock
01:02:09that's a big deep Celtic score
01:02:14and coming off Jamie Hamill last of all
01:02:16and it sees Aguirre with the throw
01:02:17here's Beran Kajal
01:02:18scored that important goal
01:02:20his first for Celtic against St Johnstone last week
01:02:22and Gary Hooper
01:02:26look at the space here for Cormons
01:02:28what a start for Celtic
01:02:32less than four minutes on the block
01:02:34and Chris Cormons was deadly
01:02:40Leo Lennon enjoys the moment
01:02:43well he's been a super signing hasn't he
01:02:45Commons
01:02:46just watch Fowler here at number four
01:02:48how he just drifts off the back here
01:02:50unaware
01:02:51and I've got to say I think
01:02:52Pascal he's got to
01:02:53he's got to spot the danger a little bit
01:02:54here and get his hell over
01:02:55he doesn't
01:02:56and it's a wonderful finish
01:02:57it really is
01:02:58it gives the goalkeeper
01:02:59absolutely no touch
01:03:00but just look at the amount of space
01:03:02Chris Cormons has got
01:03:03in his form
01:03:04in the commandment penalty box
01:03:06if you leave him that
01:03:07you are going to get punished
01:03:10then we will go
01:03:12and I will go
01:03:13go
01:03:13go
01:03:14go
01:03:18let's keep on there
01:03:18Cormons
01:03:21he is
01:03:22Cormons
01:03:23there's the second
01:03:27is turning into a brilliant light
01:03:29for Chris Cormons and Celtic
01:03:32they are destined to close to
01:03:33a better point of Rangers
01:03:36ahead of the
01:03:36Easter Sunday Showdown
01:03:38with an all-through rivals.
01:03:40Well, they're trying to play football all season, Kamala, and they're trying to play from the back.
01:03:44But that's just a dreadful pass, I mean it really is.
01:03:48And saying that, it's sharp play getting in to win it back from Celtic,
01:03:51because they have pressed quite a high up Celtic, and they have tried to stop the flow into Eremenko,
01:03:55which they have, and that's unselfish, very unselfish from Hooper.
01:03:59The weight in the pass is perfect for Chris Commons.
01:04:02He's very unlikely to take a black touch, he doesn't, and once he takes a touch, he takes it so quickly here,
01:04:07the kick was hardly a take to set himself, it's low, it's quite close to his body,
01:04:11he's a big guy of Yachtler, and it's difficult for him to get there.
01:04:18Previously with Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic, before that had a spell with Siena in Italy.
01:04:32And Kelly getting caught out here, Stokes.
01:04:35And it's Gary Hooper, trying to manoeuvre his way into position, Hooper!
01:04:40Gary Hooper, king of herbs!
01:04:44Celtic are strolling to victory here at Rugby Park.
01:04:48Come on in all over the place.
01:04:50Well, as good a goal as it was, I mean, I've got to say it again, it's come up in a different way.
01:04:55Hamill lists him.
01:04:57Poor, poor, and Hooper, well, he gave up that chance earlier for the second goal, and he may have taken the strike,
01:05:03but he was very, very unselfish, and set in common street, it was the right decision, as was this.
01:05:08Little deflection takes it away from the goalkeeper, he'll not be caring.
01:05:12A bit of fine signing as well, Gary Hooper, a real portrait, a real worker, in this game.
01:05:18How to do it!
01:05:20In this game!
01:05:21How to do it!
01:05:22How to do it!
01:05:25And the Laht to McBuffin Holloway.
01:05:28Now here's Aggiri.
01:05:29He's gone twice in Celtic this season, both goals coming against his former club Aberdeen, both in the best-to-concery finals.
01:05:40Okay, Hooper, Antoine Stokes, is it going to be free? That is the answer!
01:05:47Exquisite! And that was all the confidence of Antoine Stokes and power of good.
01:05:54Well, what a pass here, to start with. One player in an offside position, it was Stokes initially, but he wasn't getting involved in the play, so technically he's not.
01:06:05Now he does become involved. And Celtic tonight, coming up to the Aramarka, just had far, far too much quality for this command this side, and they've given them the time to play.
01:06:17Good players, you cannot give them time he's got. Able to get it out of his feet, lift his head, pick his spot, not deal with him.
01:06:25Two yards of it to get the challenge in, and it has been up to now, a first-class performance himself tonight.
01:06:32Here comes a call, and it's a good one from Stuart Armstrong, and Scott Brown once again the target, he got a good head on that one.
01:06:44But I think it was deflected off his own player, I think Ralston, it was, and over the bar, but a good chance there for Celtic.
01:06:50Celtic playing for the first time in their bright green third kit this afternoon.
01:07:02And Calvin Miller has it on the left-hand side, takes it round O'Donnell again.
01:07:07Flicks in the left-foot cross, it's a good one, this time Ralston coming in at the far post,
01:07:12tried to find MacGregor instead of going for goal himself, but just couldn't find his Celtic teammate.
01:07:18And Scott Brown has it in the middle of the park. Tom Rogic, so keen to get on the ball is Rogic.
01:07:29Lovely touch by Rogic, back to James Forrest, and you can hear the roar from the Celtic supporters that will tell you
01:07:37that with 39 minutes on the clock, James Forrest has made it come on at nil, Celtic won.
01:07:44And it all stemmed once again from a moment of magic from the Wizard of Oz, Gerry.
01:07:57Armstrong to Kundai Bennu.
01:08:01Then he finds Rogic.
01:08:02Did so well to set James Forrest up for that goal.
01:08:05On 40 minutes, throws it back to Ralston, plays in the cross towards the penalty spot.
01:08:10James Forrest has it on the edge of the area.
01:08:12Turns one way, turns another. Files the shot high and just over the bar.
01:08:16Another great effort there from James Forrest.
01:08:19Now Miller, good play from Miller, cutting inside.
01:08:31Still Miller goes for the 1-2 with Armstrong, leaves it for Forrest.
01:08:34Now Calvin Miller inside the penalty area.
01:08:36He was stretching to get on the end of that one, and in the end he didn't get much power on it.
01:08:42And McDonald made the save, a great build-up play involving the likes of Miller and Forrest.
01:08:50Celtic can come forward now with Lustig on the right-hand side.
01:08:53Just inside the command at half now, plays it forward to Griffiths.
01:08:57That one breaks to McGregor, who gives it back to Griffiths.
01:09:00Running into the penalty area, Griffiths.
01:09:03Well, the free kick's been given against Griffiths there for the challenge.
01:09:08I'm not quite sure what that was for, Mark.
01:09:10Yeah, I think the referees may have given it for a push from Greg Taylor left back.
01:09:21McGregor to Rogic.
01:09:24Still Rogic.
01:09:25Forward now, chance for Callum McGregor on his right foot.
01:09:32And McGregor makes no mistake, again the build-up play was from Tom Rogic.
01:09:38And this time it was Callum McGregor with the simplest of chances
01:09:42to stroke the ball with his right foot past Jamie McDonald.
01:09:4688 minutes gone at Rugby Park, and that's the three points.
01:09:49It's Colmarnock-0, Celtic-2.
01:09:52Celtic with the killer instinct once again.
01:09:54Tom Rogic deserves huge praise for his contribution to the build-up.
01:09:58Driving forward past a couple of Kilmarnock players.
01:10:00Picked out the pass into the box.
01:10:02Callum McGregor, who's been playing on this right-hand side all day.
01:10:05Made the run into the box.
01:10:06He was there.
01:10:07Great first touch.
01:10:08Composed finish.
01:10:09Rolled the ball past Jamie McDonald.
01:10:10Celtic have now sealed, you would think, this three points to go top of the Scottish Premiership.
01:10:15Do I know in the Scottish Premiership?
01:10:16Go!
01:10:18Go!

01:10:35Go!
01:10:36Go!
01:10:38Oh, he scores!
01:10:39And what a goal from Young!
01:10:40He fibbles first of his sixth play-off and smashes the head to the roof of the net!
01:10:53One of these erupts, shouting leads by a goal to the own!
01:11:04Inside to the box, get it to Scales, Scales, bit of space now for Young to Firewire!
01:11:10Into the bottom corner! Super patient build-up play from Sterling!
01:11:28Union launches that one forward towards Morgan Cross
01:11:31And Morgan Cross fires an effort into the back of the net!
01:11:37She's delighted with that one and, well she might be, a tremendous finish!
01:11:41And Celtic have a two-goal advantage!
01:11:43A two-goal advantage!
01:11:45And the lower part of the net!
01:11:46Realish, three.
01:11:47One-goal advantage!
01:11:49One-goal advantage!
01:11:51One-goal advantage!
01:11:53One-goal advantage!
01:11:54One-goal advantage!
01:11:58McGregor. There is Sebastian Tenekte. Main with him, cuts inside. It's Tenekte! What a goal! What a finish!
01:12:13Lovely calling finish from Sebastian Tenekte.
01:12:28It's Negrin! Oh, what a goal! What a goal from Benjamin Negrin! Direct from the free kick. And Tyne Castle has been silenced by the Swede.
01:12:41Followed by Scales. Chvantura does well. Maeda back inside. Chvantura now being chased down by Halkin. He does brilliantly! What a chance! It's a goal for Celtic!
01:13:03Yang coming inside the box to meet the cause from Chvantura and slot it into the empty net.
01:13:11Celtic are ahead of Tyne Castle and that one was all down to Celtic's new signing, Thomas Chvantura.
