00:00:00Thank you for listening.

00:00:30Thank you for listening.

00:01:00Closer to the top three.

00:01:02How about that from Olajda Just.

00:01:04It's 14 in the Premiership this season for Talanda Maduanise.

00:01:09Saeed scores again for Malawel.

00:01:12Langello is back on the score sheet.

00:01:14Jorghulson.

00:01:15And this is quite the statement from the Steelmen.

00:01:20Celtic resume their pursuit of another Scottish title.

00:01:24The pressure is on Rangers to keep up the pace with Hearts.

00:01:28Oh, it's met viciously by Kabongolo.

00:01:30And Livingston have a shot lead in West Lothian.

00:01:34Cannon to creep all in from Nicky Cannon.

00:01:38And Celtic in trouble.

00:01:40There's the equaliser.

00:01:42Celtic Park breathes a big sigh of relief.

00:01:45And Livingston are 2-0.

00:01:46And Rangers really rock now.

00:01:50Fernandez.

00:01:51Rangers have one back.

00:01:53And the ball's in the back of the net.

00:01:55And Rangers do finally have that equaliser.

00:01:59Chita rolls it back.

00:02:01And there's the goal that surely wins this for hits.

00:02:03How big a blow is this to Celtic's title chances?

00:02:12Good evening.

00:02:13For decades, the league table has been a familiar sight

00:02:16with the big two trading blows at the top.

00:02:19Well, that script has been well and truly torn up.

00:02:22Four teams alive for the run-in,

00:02:24which is sure to set the pulse racing,

00:02:26just like my pundit tonight, Richard Foster,

00:02:29to Tynecastle.

00:02:30And with destiny in their own hands,

00:02:32Hearts just need to keep on winning.

00:02:34Today's opponents were Derek McKennessy's old team,

00:02:36Aberdeen.

00:02:39It is the fixture.

00:02:40The away team never wins.

00:02:43Not since 2017, in any case.

00:02:45That was the last time Aberdeen won here

00:02:47in what was the final game

00:02:48in front of the old Tynecastle main stand.

00:02:51Hearts' record at Petaudry is just as poor,

00:02:53having not won there since 2016.

00:02:55But this is in the capital,

00:02:57which normally points to a home win,

00:02:59as the league leaders look to pile the pressure

00:03:01on their Glasgow rivals who do battle tomorrow.

00:03:05Injuries are beginning to bite hearts.

00:03:07Findlay joining the wounded list.

00:03:09Beningemi is fit enough to make the bench.

00:03:12In slightly better news,

00:03:13McHart replaces Findlay,

00:03:15while last week's goal hero against Falkirk,

00:03:17Chesnikov, drops out.

00:03:19Kibori comes in.

00:03:21Dimitramito returns to the side

00:03:22with the man who's recently displaced him.

00:03:24Per-Christian Brotvite out completely.

00:03:27McIntyre has a hamstring injury,

00:03:28so Morrison comes back in,

00:03:30having been banned for Tuesday.

00:03:32The man who decided this fixture last time around,

00:03:34Toppy Keskinen,

00:03:35also comes in to the team.

00:03:43Brought by Milne.

00:03:45It's a hearts ball.

00:03:49Spittel.

00:03:51Great ball by Spittel!

00:03:52Magnussen heads wide.

00:03:54The man who decided

00:03:55the recent era of a derby here.

00:03:58Spittel found himself back

00:03:59in the starting line-up last weekend,

00:04:02and a reminder of the quality

00:04:03he possesses from those kind of areas.

00:04:09The Dons have struggled from

00:04:11balls into their box this season,

00:04:13and Mitov gets a comfortable

00:04:15feel of the ball there.

00:04:17Kisiridis sees his effort saved.

00:04:23Pressure coming from

00:04:25Pierlandri Kibori.

00:04:28Good start against Aberdeen at Petodje,

00:04:30they were missing Shankton that day as well.

00:04:32It's a poor ball out of defence

00:04:34for the Dons.

00:04:35It's Claudio Braga!

00:04:38It's a third effort to goal

00:04:40in the opening ten minutes

00:04:41for the league leaders.

00:04:43Again, Mitov's equal to it.

00:04:45Braga couldn't quite

00:04:46find that far corner.

00:04:48The Dons nowhere near

00:04:49where they want to be,

00:04:51and certainly nowhere near

00:04:52when Alec Ferguson had them.

00:04:55Leonard

00:04:56spraying the ball for Milne.

00:04:58Hearts getting into their strides.

00:05:00It's a real feeling of that.

00:05:01Right now, it's a good ball in,

00:05:03but

00:05:03Braga can't divert it on target.

00:05:06Another great ball from Harry Milne.

00:05:09Ominous signs for Aberdeen.

00:05:10Hearts creating chances

00:05:12every time they come forward.

00:05:18Spittleswipe that forward,

00:05:19and Kibori's in!

00:05:20Big chance!

00:05:22And it's wide!

00:05:26The very definition of guilt-edged.

00:05:30And Pierre-Landri Kibori

00:05:32has been unable to take it.

00:05:34It's just one punt up the pitch

00:05:36from Spittles.

00:05:38Kibori couldn't find the target.

00:05:42And Kibori was a wave,

00:05:45ready to celebrate,

00:05:46as was his manager.

00:05:48In the end,

00:05:49it's frustration all round.

00:05:54Lisbeth.

00:05:56Here's Keskinen.

00:05:58And on the Sanjai,

00:05:59who's being marshaled by McCart in fairness.

00:06:02Just a little

00:06:03warning for Hearts there.

00:06:06Pretty careless ball

00:06:08out of defence

00:06:08by Steinwender.

00:06:12Aberdeen have been a tough watch

00:06:13for their fans,

00:06:14and I'm sure

00:06:16Peter leaving himself.

00:06:23Spittles.

00:06:24Oh, it goes Kibori again.

00:06:25Can he keep that in?

00:06:26Yes, he can.

00:06:27And he's got away from Morrison,

00:06:29who committed himself.

00:06:30Kibori and Braga!

00:06:32And 1-0!

00:06:35It's been coming!

00:06:37And it's that man,

00:06:39Claudio Braga,

00:06:40again!

00:06:42And if Hearts are going to win the league,

00:06:44as they are now favourites to do,

00:06:49it'll be

00:06:50partly down

00:06:52to a man

00:06:53they wouldn't have even heard of before,

00:06:55who played for

00:06:57Norwegians Alessons.

00:07:02It's a 15th of the season,

00:07:05and the league leaders

00:07:07are in front.

00:07:12Massagna showed way too much of that

00:07:14to Leonard.

00:07:19Devlin,

00:07:20wrong side of the ball there,

00:07:21spittle for Kibori,

00:07:22and spittle!

00:07:26Who we know

00:07:27loves a goal from there.

00:07:30Late season

00:07:31renaissance

00:07:32is Blair Spittle.

00:07:36It's looking increasingly

00:07:38likely that Peter leaving

00:07:39is going to be an interim charge

00:07:40until the end of the season.

00:07:42I guess for the Dons,

00:07:44provided they can stay clear

00:07:45of that 11th spot.

00:07:47It's all about

00:07:48the Scottish Cup.

00:07:50This is Kibori,

00:07:51beaten away by Mito,

00:07:52back into the danger area

00:07:54it went.

00:08:00Diger's found

00:08:00Alessanya meantime.

00:08:03This is to slip away

00:08:04from McCart,

00:08:05and another one

00:08:06pulls it back.

00:08:07Opportunity for Devlin,

00:08:09and

00:08:09it's a corner only.

00:08:13This is better

00:08:14from Toyosi

00:08:15Alessanya,

00:08:16away from two

00:08:17Hearts players,

00:08:18and

00:08:19did that come to

00:08:20Nisbet,

00:08:21you would have fancied

00:08:21he would have done

00:08:22what Braga did

00:08:23in the first half.

00:08:25As Kibori

00:08:26let fly at Mitov.

00:08:29The three at the back

00:08:30there,

00:08:31Halkic,

00:08:31Steinbender

00:08:32and McCart,

00:08:33away by Milne.

00:08:35Scored plenty

00:08:35of goals hearts

00:08:36this season

00:08:37from that kind of situation,

00:08:38they may get one here,

00:08:38it's Braga!

00:08:40It's wide!

00:08:43And he had his head

00:08:44in his hands,

00:08:46and half of Tynecastle

00:08:47thought that had gone in

00:08:48as the net rippled.

00:08:49Magnussen back in,

00:08:50Kibori,

00:08:51Braga,

00:08:52it's just so simple,

00:08:53it's come off Mitov.

00:09:05Well,

00:09:05McCart's been caught.

00:09:13Sheep temper's being spilled

00:09:15just in the last

00:09:15five minutes or so.

00:09:18Nikki Devlin

00:09:20is the Aberdeen

00:09:21player involved.

00:09:24If anything,

00:09:25McCart wins the ball,

00:09:26it's just the follow-through.

00:09:36great ball,

00:09:37and a great touch

00:09:37by Kiziridis.

00:09:40Tiger wins it off,

00:09:41Magnussen,

00:09:42Armstrong goes down

00:09:43and gets the free kick.

00:09:45It's not going to count.

00:09:51Good standing play

00:09:53once again

00:09:53in the build-up

00:09:56by Hart,

00:09:57Armstrong

00:09:57kind of ran back

00:09:58into trouble there.

00:09:59A bit fortunate.

00:10:06Nielsen for Armstrong.

00:10:09Frame.

00:10:13Armstrong continues,

00:10:14he goes down,

00:10:15it's Frame.

00:10:17Lazatic

00:10:18poked away

00:10:19from him by Leonard.

00:10:21Nielsen for Armstrong.

00:10:23And he just taps it

00:10:25behind for the goal kick.

00:10:26Well, he's protesting

00:10:27because he wants a penalty.

00:10:29Great touch that

00:10:30by Armstrong.

00:10:31He thinks that he's

00:10:32been fouled there

00:10:34by Steinbender.

00:10:36Less than two minutes left.

00:10:39Peter Leven

00:10:40encouraging his players

00:10:41forward here.

00:10:43Nisatic clicks on.

00:10:45Here's Kevin Nisbet.

00:10:47He's Adam

00:10:47and that's come off

00:10:48a hand there.

00:10:51I think it was outside

00:10:52the box,

00:10:53even if it was a hand.

00:10:59There's Milne.

00:11:02He can ice the cake.

00:11:08It is another step

00:11:10towards the title

00:11:11for Denny McInnes.

00:11:14Another three points.

00:11:17Claudio Braga

00:11:19with the only goal

00:11:20in what was a dominant

00:11:22display

00:11:23against a toothless,

00:11:26leaderless,

00:11:27rudderless Aberdeen

00:11:28who didn't muster

00:11:29a single shot

00:11:29on target.

00:11:32Dennis Geiger's

00:11:34got involved

00:11:34with some of the

00:11:35Hearts players there

00:11:36and being told

00:11:36to get off the pitch

00:11:37by the home manager

00:11:39Derek McInnes.

00:11:41There were spells

00:11:42in the second half.

00:11:43It was threatening

00:11:44to spill over.

00:11:45I've no idea

00:11:46what's instigated this.

00:11:52Hearts celebrating,

00:11:53finishes at

00:11:53Tynecastle Park.

00:11:55Hearts are

00:11:55Midlodian 1,

00:11:57Aberdeen 0

00:11:57and all kinds

00:11:59of pressure

00:11:59on the Glasgow clubs

00:12:01who go head-to-head

00:12:02tomorrow.

00:12:04The biggest

00:12:08reason for winning

00:12:09games is performance.

00:12:10I thought the performance

00:12:10was good today

00:12:11and that's the thing

00:12:12that we're really pleased with.

00:12:13We're a lot of anxiety,

00:12:14a lot on it.

00:12:15The performance was good

00:12:16and we deserve to win

00:12:18so I'll take a lot

00:12:19of comfort for that

00:12:20and a lot of confidence

00:12:20for that

00:12:21that we've not just

00:12:22scraped through.

00:12:23It was a 1-0 of course

00:12:24we'd like it to be

00:12:24more solid

00:12:25but I actually thought

00:12:26the performance

00:12:26of so many players

00:12:27was good today.

00:12:28Now we're getting

00:12:28to a point that we are

00:12:30maybe with a little bit

00:12:30more tension

00:12:32we feel it from the stands

00:12:33a little bit

00:12:33it's normal

00:12:35but at the same time

00:12:36we know we can do this

00:12:37and we know

00:12:38that that goal

00:12:39probably gets the stands

00:12:41even more

00:12:42released of tension

00:12:43and behind us

00:12:44even more.

00:12:45Should you give her

00:12:45a penalty?

00:12:46Yeah I watched it back

00:12:47we got a player sent off

00:12:48last week

00:12:50Liam Morrison

00:12:51when the Dundee player

00:12:53cut in front of him

00:12:54and went down

00:12:55that was the same

00:12:56scenario here

00:12:57you can clearly see

00:12:58his knee coming

00:12:58into Stewart at the side

00:12:59so for me

00:13:00it's a penalty all day.

00:13:03we will look at that

00:13:04of course

00:13:05but another win

00:13:05for Hearts

00:13:06keeps him very much

00:13:07in the driving seat

00:13:08at the top

00:13:08of the Premiership

00:13:09Richard

00:13:09Claudio Braga

00:13:11he's been a sensational

00:13:12signing

00:13:13and he was the man

00:13:14who popped up

00:13:14another match winning

00:13:16goal from him today

00:13:17and another

00:13:18tireless performance.

00:13:19Yeah and I think

00:13:19that's you know

00:13:20if you're going to win

00:13:21the league

00:13:22you tend to have to be

00:13:23the hardest working team

00:13:25and he epitomises

00:13:26everything Hearts are

00:13:27it's fantastic awareness

00:13:28from Blair Spital

00:13:29it's horrible defending

00:13:31from Aberdeen there

00:13:33in so many different

00:13:35instances

00:13:35there's a nice little

00:13:37jag from Braga

00:13:37who gets himself

00:13:38the half yard

00:13:40but you see there

00:13:41Blair Spital

00:13:41turns it around the corner

00:13:42at no point here

00:13:44does Devlin go

00:13:44and engage with Braga

00:13:45Milne now has to go

00:13:47and focus on the ball

00:13:48his movement's good

00:13:49but I think straight away

00:13:51as a recovering defender

00:13:52Devlin's got to go

00:13:53and make contact

00:13:53with Braga

00:13:54slow him down

00:13:54and force him

00:13:56to have to do more

00:13:57I'll tell you what

00:13:57from a striker's point of view

00:13:59which you know

00:14:00obviously is my speciality

00:14:03the wee check he does

00:14:05the wee movement

00:14:05to make himself available

00:14:06for the pass

00:14:07is outstanding

00:14:08it's subtle

00:14:09but it's brilliant

00:14:09yeah it's fantastic

00:14:10but I don't think

00:14:11he should be allowed

00:14:12to do that

00:14:12I think Devlin should go

00:14:13and make the contact early

00:14:14and if he's going to get

00:14:15on the end of the ball

00:14:16he's going to have to

00:14:17do something special

00:14:18whereas there

00:14:18yeah it's a nice little

00:14:19bit of movement

00:14:20but there's never any contact

00:14:21give this striker some credit

00:14:23in the first half

00:14:24Aberdeen

00:14:24they changed formation

00:14:26in the second half

00:14:26but in the first half

00:14:27they looked so open

00:14:29in Tyne Castle

00:14:30so many spaces

00:14:31for the Hearts players

00:14:32yeah it was strange

00:14:33set up

00:14:33you're going away

00:14:34from home

00:14:34you're struggling

00:14:35in the league

00:14:35you go away from home

00:14:36to the best team

00:14:37in the league

00:14:38and you know

00:14:39you go really expansive

00:14:40you can try and play

00:14:41you can't even see

00:14:41the right full back

00:14:42he just comes into

00:14:42the screen there

00:14:43they give the ball

00:14:44there's Blair Spittle

00:14:45who on the day

00:14:46was one of the best

00:14:47players on the pitch

00:14:48there's nobody within

00:14:4920 yards of him

00:14:50he turns

00:14:50he possibly picks

00:14:51the wrong option here

00:14:52in going with Braga

00:14:53he could go out to

00:14:54Kabori

00:14:55but he can't give

00:14:56the best team in the league

00:14:58who have got the players

00:14:59performing at the highest

00:14:59level at the moment

00:15:00all this space

00:15:01again Harry Milne

00:15:02who's been fantastic

00:15:03for Hearts

00:15:03always an outlet

00:15:04on the left hand side

00:15:05I think it's

00:15:06Shinney's the closest one

00:15:07really

00:15:07acres

00:15:08but he's never

00:15:09getting back there

00:15:09and Harry Milne

00:15:10has produced

00:15:11cross after cross

00:15:13again you look

00:15:14in the middle

00:15:153v3 essentially

00:15:16but nobody's

00:15:17contact

00:15:17nobody's anywhere

00:15:18near the Hearts

00:15:19players

00:15:19Braga by the way

00:15:20for as good as he is

00:15:21and as good as he is

00:15:22in the air

00:15:22he's 5ft 8

00:15:23you know Aberdeen

00:15:24nowhere near him

00:15:25again this one

00:15:26Blair Spittle again

00:15:27fantastic awareness

00:15:29the next angle's

00:15:31better

00:15:32for analysis

00:15:33but worse

00:15:34if you're an Aberdeen

00:15:34defender

00:15:35because

00:15:36he just runs out

00:15:37he runs out

00:15:38right behind

00:15:39Kabori there

00:15:40they go 3 for 3

00:15:41at the back

00:15:41there's no pressure

00:15:42on the ball

00:15:43you need to give

00:15:44yourself

00:15:45depth

00:15:46or you actually

00:15:47step past him

00:15:47and play him offside

00:15:48he does nothing

00:15:49and you know what

00:15:50he should score

00:15:50I'm not sure

00:15:51McInnes was too

00:15:52happy with that

00:15:52finish

00:15:53I feel as though

00:15:53he might have

00:15:54gone round the

00:15:54goalkeeper

00:15:54but anyway

00:15:55he had a big role

00:15:56in the goal

00:15:56that they did

00:15:57score eventually

00:15:58Peter Lee

00:15:59even talking

00:15:59on his post-match

00:16:00interview

00:16:01feeling Aberdeen

00:16:01should have had

00:16:02a penalty kick

00:16:03what's your

00:16:03thoughts on it

00:16:05for me

00:16:05absolutely not

00:16:06I think he's

00:16:07clutching at straws

00:16:08here

00:16:08I think if you

00:16:09watch Armstrong

00:16:10he anticipates

00:16:11the contact

00:16:12you're just

00:16:13inside the box

00:16:13there

00:16:13so he's now

00:16:14already off balance

00:16:15and he almost

00:16:16falls into the

00:16:17hearts defender

00:16:17as soon as he

00:16:18feels the contact

00:16:19he collapses

00:16:20his legs underneath

00:16:20him

00:16:21you see here

00:16:21he wants to go

00:16:22down there

00:16:22but there's

00:16:23definitely no

00:16:23contact

00:16:23and then he

00:16:24just runs

00:16:24into the

00:16:25hearts defender

00:16:25for me

00:16:26that's never

00:16:26a penalty

00:16:27yeah I mean

00:16:28for your old

00:16:28club Aberdeen

00:16:29it's one win

00:16:30in 11

00:16:30they've lost

00:16:31nine of those

00:16:31games

00:16:33it's just

00:16:34really is just

00:16:35not good enough

00:16:35is it

00:16:36it's kind of

00:16:36sad state of

00:16:37affairs to see

00:16:37them in

00:16:37it is

00:16:38you know

00:16:38you have to

00:16:39have some

00:16:40sympathy for

00:16:41Peter Lee

00:16:41you know

00:16:41his record's

00:16:42not great

00:16:42but he's

00:16:43he's inherited

00:16:44a really

00:16:45really tough

00:16:46situation

00:16:46they've tried

00:16:46to bring in

00:16:47coaches to

00:16:47help him

00:16:48obviously

00:16:48but I think

00:16:49the longer it

00:16:49goes without

00:16:50that definitive

00:16:51head coach

00:16:51it just looks

00:16:52like Aberdeen

00:16:52are going to

00:16:53continue to

00:16:53fall down the

00:16:54league

00:16:54and they're

00:16:54going to get

00:16:55to the point

00:16:55where they're

00:16:56going to start

00:16:56to be in a

00:16:57little bit of

00:16:57danger

00:16:57if they don't

00:16:58start collecting

00:16:59points soon

00:17:00with Hearts

00:17:00winning

00:17:01there's obviously

00:17:01going to be a

00:17:02wee bit of

00:17:02focus on

00:17:03tomorrow's game

00:17:04who's winning

00:17:05Roma or

00:17:05Juventus

00:17:07I'm only joking

00:17:09who do you

00:17:10think is going

00:17:10to win tomorrow's

00:17:10game

00:17:11I think Rangers

00:17:12will win

00:17:12do you

00:17:13yeah I just

00:17:13think it'll be

00:17:15an entertaining

00:17:16game

00:17:17I hope it's

00:17:18an entertaining

00:17:18game

00:17:18and see from

00:17:19a Hearts point

00:17:20of view

00:17:20I actually hope

00:17:20it's a draw

00:17:21but I think

00:17:21Rangers will

00:17:22just nick it

00:17:22and who's

00:17:22winning the

00:17:23league

00:23:00and it's a good save by Ashley Maynard Brewer

00:23:06as

00:23:08Maswanisi

00:23:08as Maswanisi tried to squeeze that in from a tight angle

00:23:11here he is again lovely touch

00:23:14Stevenson intercepting

00:23:17as Motherwell hunted down another goal

00:23:22Cullum

00:23:23Cullum

00:23:23and he has plenty to do this afternoon with a ball at his feet he hasn't done that too well

00:23:26it's Kereshtes on to it

00:23:30and Sapsford wins the corner

00:23:38Trapanovski with the corner kick whipped in and back off the post

00:23:43and away

00:23:46well it goes without saying that's as close as Dundee United have been

00:23:50to getting on the score sheet

00:23:53down the pitch

00:23:54it's Eli Just

00:24:07Slattery

00:24:08Longhelo

00:24:10shaping for the cross ball in

00:24:13well a chance for Bjergolfsson

00:24:15right off the bench might be his first touch

00:24:17that header

00:24:19and he'll be disappointed he didn't put that in the back of the net

00:24:22immediately after

00:24:24Trapanovski

00:24:25and struck the inside of the post

00:24:29here come Motherwell again

00:24:31looking for a third goal of the game

00:24:34Bjergolfsson lays it off

00:24:36Slattery down the middle

00:24:37it strikes the substitute

00:24:39and he couldn't quite get the shot away

00:24:42great defending

00:24:43from Yuri Jovo

00:24:46to stop more damage being done to Dundee United

00:24:49quite an impact off the bench

00:24:51from the big Norwegian

00:25:05Ward finding Slattery

00:25:07who now cuts inside

00:25:09good effort

00:25:11didn't quite bend back enough

00:25:15and he acknowledges

00:25:17the pick out

00:25:19from the goalkeeper

00:25:20which set him up here

00:25:23and he was always eyeing

00:25:26the 25 yard crack at goal

00:25:29Ward to Welsh

00:25:31Tom Sparrow

00:25:34interception by

00:25:36Cheve

00:25:36this is Agui

00:25:38this is Agui

00:25:38squeezing the ball through

00:25:39for Lucas Stevenson

00:25:41big chance for United

00:25:42and the captain

00:25:44can't take it

00:25:45will have waited 90 minutes

00:25:47to carve out

00:25:48that sort of opportunity

00:25:49it might have made the last few minutes

00:25:52interesting

00:25:57disappointing

00:25:58disappointing afternoon

00:25:59for Dundee United

00:26:00it's another

00:26:01three premiership points

00:26:03for Jens Bertolasco

00:26:05and his team

00:26:06and they move

00:26:07to within

00:26:08one of

00:26:09Celtic

00:26:10Motherwell 2

00:26:12Dundee United

00:26:13nil

00:26:14Jens

00:26:15a comfortable afternoon

00:26:16what was your assessment?

00:26:18a very hectic

00:26:19and lively game

00:26:20due to the

00:26:22Dundee United

00:26:22man-man pressure

00:26:24all over

00:26:25and

00:26:26you know

00:26:26it's difficult

00:26:27to play around them

00:26:28and use that

00:26:28that plus one

00:26:29because it was usually

00:26:30on the keeper

00:26:31and to find

00:26:33players who could face

00:26:34forward

00:26:34so it was a lot about

00:26:35changing positions

00:26:36counter movements

00:26:38both

00:26:39horizontally and vertically

00:26:41to open up space

00:26:42and I think we

00:26:43really tried

00:26:44that well

00:26:45and then when we got

00:26:47the ball down

00:26:47I think we played

00:26:49some really good football

00:26:49we're dominant

00:26:50and intense

00:26:51and really good

00:26:52in our counter pressing

00:26:54in terms of

00:26:55work rate

00:26:56and willingness

00:26:57to run for each other

00:26:58both in and out of possession

00:26:59I think it was

00:27:00absolutely outstanding

00:27:00you know the game

00:27:01is turned on

00:27:02the penalty decision

00:27:04as far as I'm concerned

00:27:05you know Motherwell

00:27:05haven't had

00:27:06a shot on target

00:27:08prior to the penalty kick

00:27:09being awarded

00:27:11and I've got no idea

00:27:12again why

00:27:13VAR are getting involved

00:27:15in that incident

00:27:17the referee clearly

00:27:18didn't deem it

00:27:19violent conduct

00:27:20otherwise he would have

00:27:21sent Vichko Sevelge

00:27:23off to park

00:27:23and then

00:27:24you know the second goal

00:27:25is a real killer

00:27:25for us

00:27:26terrible timing

00:27:26just after a half time

00:27:28and obviously

00:27:30that makes life

00:27:30even more difficult

00:27:32The result

00:27:33not really a surprise

00:27:35given Motherwell's

00:27:36home form this season

00:27:37Richard

00:27:38and yet again

00:27:39a clean sheet

00:27:40that's 11 home

00:27:40clean sheets

00:27:41in the league

00:27:4218 goals

00:27:43conceded all season

00:27:45why are they so hard

00:27:46to score against

00:27:47this Motherwell team?

00:27:48Because they control

00:27:49large parts of games

00:27:51difficult today

00:27:51on the pitch

00:27:52obviously with the weather

00:27:53it's not as good

00:27:55as it has been

00:27:55in recent months

00:27:57but they control

00:27:58the ball so much

00:27:59and then on the flip side

00:28:00they suffocate the opponent

00:28:01when they turn the ball over

00:28:03you heard the manager

00:28:04talk earlier

00:28:04they're very good

00:28:05in defensive transitions

00:28:06they all sprint

00:28:07they all know their job

00:28:08they all want to

00:28:10help their team mate out

00:28:11you know

00:28:11yes there's confidence there

00:28:12because they're doing

00:28:13so well this season

00:28:14but I think

00:28:14they've all really bought in

00:28:16to what the manager's

00:28:17selling

00:28:18he's meticulous

00:28:19you know even when you

00:28:20see them playing

00:28:21and they play the long ball

00:28:22that's not by chance

00:28:23they work on these things

00:28:24they set these situations up

00:28:26I think they adjusted

00:28:27at half time a little bit

00:28:28because of the man

00:28:29from Aaron Press

00:28:30and from Dindonated

00:28:30so they're just in

00:28:32a really good place

00:28:33just now

00:28:33and because they control

00:28:34large parts of games

00:28:35it's difficult for teams

00:28:37to create chances

00:28:37against them

00:28:38it certainly is

00:28:39well obviously

00:28:40Tavanda Maswanisi

00:28:40another player that's having

00:28:42an outstanding season

00:28:45first one from the penalty spot

00:28:46Jim Goodwin

00:28:47clearly not pleased

00:28:49with the decision

00:28:50give us your take on it

00:28:52I'm on Jim Goodwin's side here

00:28:54you know I think

00:28:55there's just as much contact

00:28:56in the initial little bit

00:28:57there

00:28:59nothing in it

00:29:00two players

00:29:00just kind of fighting

00:29:01for a bit of space

00:29:02I think he embellishes

00:29:04the contact certainly

00:29:04I don't think it's hurting

00:29:06I don't think it's

00:29:07where he's holding either

00:29:08no

00:29:10it's stupid for a Dindonated defender

00:29:12there's no

00:29:12you're in your own box

00:29:13there's no pressure

00:29:14you've done really well

00:29:15in the game so far

00:29:16don't give the referee

00:29:18an opportunity

00:29:19or VAR an opportunity

00:29:20doesn't look like a lot

00:29:20in it from that angle

00:29:21does it?

00:29:21I don't think it's a penalty

00:29:23I don't think it's a penalty

00:29:24I think the defender

00:29:25while I think he's been

00:29:26a bit silly

00:29:26kind of swinging his arm

00:29:27a little bit

00:29:28I don't think it's a penalty

00:29:30and I think they're

00:29:31very very unlucky

00:29:32and to be fair to Jim Goodwin

00:29:33he's right

00:29:33the game does then

00:29:34turn a little bit there

00:29:35because it changes the dynamic

00:29:37but I think

00:29:37I think you know

00:29:38I know JT well

00:29:40the story is

00:29:41the fantastic season

00:29:42he's having

00:29:43and the goals he's scoring

00:29:44but I think he's bought that one

00:29:45I think he's embellished that

00:29:46yeah

00:29:47Edmuller of course

00:29:48he tucked it away

00:29:50as he normally does

00:29:51with his penalty kicks

00:29:52yeah I mean

00:29:53he's having a phenomenal season

00:29:54I mean you can see that

00:29:55about pretty much

00:29:56every one of those

00:29:57mother world players

00:29:58from the back

00:29:59right the way to the front

00:30:00Paul McGinn

00:30:01all of the midfielders

00:30:02Massa Nisi

00:30:03the list goes on

00:30:05it was Massa Nisi

00:30:06who got the second goal

00:30:07wee bit of fortune

00:30:08this time

00:30:09with the deflection

00:30:10but United probably

00:30:11should defend it better

00:30:12yeah I think

00:30:12you give away

00:30:13a free kick

00:30:14in midfield

00:30:15and if you've done

00:30:16any analysis

00:30:16of Motherwell

00:30:17which Dundee United

00:30:18will have done

00:30:19they love taking

00:30:20quick free kicks

00:30:20so I think it's

00:30:21Stevenson there

00:30:22you see it in the early part

00:30:22he actually backs off

00:30:23from the free kick

00:30:24and then he ducks out the way

00:30:25now again

00:30:28JT does really really well

00:30:29rides the first contact

00:30:30gets a shot away

00:30:31but the defender's

00:30:32got to be more aggressive

00:30:33with his positioning

00:30:33you know go and make contact

00:30:35before he runs

00:30:35here stay tight to him

00:30:37I think the goalkeeper as well

00:30:38I don't know where he's going

00:30:40because he's not going to

00:30:41it seems like he's going to

00:30:42step forward to pick the ball up

00:30:43yeah

00:30:44he's very very unfortunate

00:30:45but you see there

00:30:46there's no pressure on the ball

00:30:47it's a free kick

00:30:48so stand over it

00:30:49until you're set behind the ball

00:30:50he drops

00:30:51he gives him a wee nudge

00:30:52to the defender

00:30:53but then he drops

00:30:53and opens a yard up for him

00:30:54which is all you're looking for

00:30:55especially with him

00:30:56and the form he's in

00:30:57the quality he's got

00:31:00he's always going to

00:31:15you can see Jim's frustrated

00:31:17on a weekly basis

00:31:18why is it this season

00:31:19that they've lacked that

00:31:21consistency that got them

00:31:22such an impressive

00:31:24finishing position

00:31:25last season

00:31:26I don't know

00:31:26I think

00:31:27you know

00:31:27I think there's

00:31:28they've got a big squad

00:31:30you know

00:31:30there's a few different

00:31:31nationalities there

00:31:32I don't think they've gelled

00:31:33as well this season

00:31:34as certainly they did last year

00:31:36why that is

00:31:37I don't know

00:31:38they looked

00:31:38in recent weeks

00:31:40they've lacked

00:31:41any real creative spark

00:31:42in the forward areas

00:31:43I think at the start of the season

00:31:45Sapsford for example

00:31:46was scoring goals

00:31:48and looked lively

00:31:49but players have gone off

00:31:50the boil altogether

00:31:51and there's no one really there

00:31:52that's kind of grabbing

00:31:53games by the scruff of the neck

00:31:54that game there

00:31:55you know

00:31:55the man for man pressure's good

00:31:57but even when they turned

00:31:57the ball over

00:31:58there was no real

00:31:59dynamic movement

00:32:00to try and go and score a goal

00:32:01it was all just

00:32:02we'll keep the ball

00:32:03and we'll slow it down

00:32:04now everything petered out

00:32:05and I think it was almost like

00:32:06they wanted control of the game

00:32:07whereas I think

00:32:08because Motherwell are quite expansive

00:32:10when they play

00:32:10if you do turn the ball over

00:32:12you have to try and attack them quickly

00:32:13and I don't think

00:32:14Dundee Knight done that today

00:32:15Motherwell

00:32:17where do you see them finish

00:32:18and can they

00:32:20win the league?

00:32:22They can

00:32:22in terms of

00:32:23there are points available

00:32:25I think when you look

00:32:26at their next four games

00:32:27they play

00:32:28I believe they play

00:32:29Hebs and Celtic

00:32:31so it's very much

00:32:32in their hands

00:32:33I think they'll finish

00:32:34where they are

00:32:34I think the

00:32:35the old firm

00:32:37will finish second

00:32:38and third

00:32:38and I think Hearts

00:32:39will win the league

00:32:39I think it's a big ask

00:32:40from here

00:32:41to be ten points

00:32:42behind a team like Hearts

00:32:43who are just churning out wins

00:32:44and churning out performances

00:32:45Who beats them at Fur Park?

00:32:47Well that's a question

00:32:48Well I think both

00:32:49the old firm beat them

00:32:50at Fur Park

00:32:50I don't think so

00:32:51Yeah

00:32:52Right, we'll see

00:32:53Well it's been back to back

00:32:55defeats for Falkirk

00:32:56Today they welcome

00:32:57Kilmarnock

00:32:57who know

00:32:58every point

00:32:58is a prisoner

00:33:28With favourable fixtures

00:33:29McCann looks to go 4-4-2 again

00:33:31a couple of defeats

00:33:39recently for Falkirk

00:33:41last time against Hearts

00:33:43and before that

00:33:44the one

00:33:45here at home

00:33:46against Dundee United

00:33:47haven't lost three in a row

00:33:49all season

00:33:50in their top flight return

00:33:52been a brilliant campaign

00:33:54now looking to

00:33:54finish off the job

00:33:56of finishing in the top half

00:33:57they are so close

00:33:59with games running out

00:34:00Spencer clips that forward

00:34:03Brogio

00:34:05and McCann

00:34:07starting on the front foot here

00:34:08Miller

00:34:10one of the players of the season

00:34:13and he combines with Tate

00:34:14and he has space

00:34:16to pick out the cross

00:34:17oh and Brown's

00:34:18picked out his own net

00:34:23horrific start for Kilmarnock

00:34:25utter joy at the Falkirk stadium

00:34:27less than 40 seconds on the clock

00:34:30and Calvin Miller

00:34:30has wreaked havoc

00:34:32in the killy defence

00:34:33and an own goal

00:34:36gives Falkirk the advantage

00:34:43in it comes

00:34:45and Roos is under pressure

00:34:46to collect here

00:34:47and he doesn't get there

00:34:48and Stewart nods in

00:34:49and it's 2-0

00:34:50after only four minutes

00:34:53the dream start

00:34:55for Falkirk

00:35:01Barney Stewart's star

00:35:02continues to rise

00:35:05really poor header this

00:35:06now was Roos obstructed

00:35:08from claiming that

00:35:09Henderson as a little look

00:35:14the referee Colin Stevens

00:35:16going to be called across here

00:35:17by Chris Graham

00:35:18the VAR

00:35:20to have another

00:35:22glance at this

00:35:25and Kilmarnock

00:35:26are probably going to get

00:35:27a reprieve here

00:35:33and they draw the lines

00:35:38there's an offside

00:35:40and then

00:35:40the question of

00:35:45whether there is

00:35:46interference

00:35:46as it comes into the box

00:35:54Kilroos

00:35:54Kilroos certainly felt

00:35:55he was blocked

00:35:56Colin Stevens

00:35:58puts the arm up

00:35:59offside is the call

00:36:01and it will stay 1-0

00:36:02to Falkirk

00:36:03what a start

00:36:04it has been

00:36:06from the Bairns

00:36:08right on top

00:36:09of Kilmarnock

00:36:10who get away with one

00:36:20Watson is fouled

00:36:24he's gone quickly here

00:36:26and Anderson

00:36:26has sprung in behind

00:36:28just Bain to beat

00:36:30and the legs of Scott Bain

00:36:31keep it 1-0

00:36:33to Falkirk

00:36:34flag now goes up

00:36:35against Bruce Anderson

00:36:38but regardless

00:36:39he should have buried that

00:36:41and hope for a reprieve

00:36:42from VAR

00:36:45as it happens

00:36:46he finds the lower legs

00:36:48of Bain

00:36:52given away

00:36:52Lisa

00:36:54finds Miller

00:36:55who turns

00:36:57pinched by Robbie Dees

00:36:59who looks a bit like

00:37:00Batman

00:37:00with his face mask on

00:37:02and he clips it over the top

00:37:03for Hugel

00:37:03who looked offside there

00:37:04flag stays down for now

00:37:06Hugel gets it out his feet

00:37:07and what a can finish

00:37:09that is

00:37:11before offside

00:37:12is eventually called

00:37:15looked a pretty obvious one

00:37:17Hugel overruns it

00:37:19descends it

00:37:21anyway

00:37:22and the far side linesman

00:37:24has to wait

00:37:25until it plays out

00:37:26before raising his flag

00:37:31corner from Miller

00:37:32Stewart

00:37:33saved

00:37:35and turned in

00:37:36by Dylan Tate

00:37:41Falkirk

00:37:42would not be denied

00:37:43a second for long

00:37:47and what a season it is

00:37:48to be a Falkirk

00:37:50Bairn

00:37:50smiles all round

00:37:52Stewart

00:37:53makes first contact

00:37:54from the corner

00:37:55Roos does his best

00:37:58but Tate

00:37:58is quickest to react

00:37:59and it's 2-0

00:38:04John McGlynn

00:38:06offering the handshakes

00:38:09and it comes

00:38:11Donaldson

00:38:12and Stewart

00:38:12oh

00:38:14lightning reactions

00:38:15from Barney Stewart

00:38:18he's been denied

00:38:19one goal

00:38:21not this time

00:38:26the man who's made

00:38:27the rise

00:38:28from university

00:38:29football

00:38:29his season

00:38:30just keeps getting

00:38:31better and better

00:38:32his fourth

00:38:33in the premiership

00:38:34and it's a quite

00:38:35magnificent header

00:38:38and for the second

00:38:39time this season

00:38:40Kilmarnock are 3-0

00:38:41down at Falkirk

00:38:42in the first half

00:38:49hard to see how

00:38:50Kilmarnock come back

00:38:51from this

00:38:52but Watson is

00:38:53going to give it a go

00:38:54and he lets fly

00:38:57straight at Bain

00:39:02but at least

00:39:03Kille

00:39:04showing a bit of fight

00:39:06at the moment

00:39:07any work they do

00:39:08going forward

00:39:09is being undone

00:39:09by their woeful

00:39:10defensive display

00:39:15Thompson

00:39:18Kilty picks up

00:39:19he's got a lot of room

00:39:20here Greg Kilty

00:39:21options to his right

00:39:22goes himself

00:39:23oh and why not

00:39:27emphatic reverse finish

00:39:29from Greg Kilty

00:39:31and a moment to cheer

00:39:32for the long-suffering

00:39:33Kilmarnock away fans

00:39:36no smile from Neil McCann

00:39:37still a lot of work to do

00:39:40but at least

00:39:41Kilmarnock have a goal

00:39:42back before half-time

00:39:43and that could be

00:39:44significant

00:39:48Volkirk rather unfazed

00:39:50by the concession of that

00:39:51goal

00:39:51just keep coming forward

00:39:53Lisa

00:39:55and Stuart again

00:39:56oh

00:39:57what a save

00:39:59Kilroos

00:40:01that looked destined

00:40:02for the back of the net

00:40:10D's header

00:40:12next goal in this game

00:40:13is crucial

00:40:15McCann

00:40:16is rampaging forwards

00:40:19Miller

00:40:19you don't want to leave him

00:40:20one-on-one

00:40:21here he goes

00:40:22drills it in

00:40:23and Stuart finishes

00:40:27his second

00:40:29Volkirk's fourth

00:40:32and that feels like

00:40:34the gut punch

00:40:36to Kilmarnock

00:40:37having got one back

00:40:39it was important

00:40:40Volkirk responded

00:40:43and they certainly have done that

00:40:44Miller again

00:40:45his seventh league assist

00:40:46of the season

00:40:48it's Barney Stuart's

00:40:49fifth goal

00:40:50and he's on a hat-trick

00:40:53one of those days

00:40:55for Neil McCann

00:40:58Tate

00:40:58it's too easy

00:41:00he's got loads of options

00:41:02right and left

00:41:05finds Brogio here

00:41:07Tate

00:41:08rolls it with the studs

00:41:12and beats Roos

00:41:14from the edge of the box

00:41:17and Volkirk

00:41:18are now unassailable

00:41:20in this game

00:41:22and they surely now

00:41:23are not going to be caught

00:41:25in the race

00:41:25for the top six

00:41:28he's got so much room

00:41:29Dylan Tate

00:41:30and Roos doesn't get near it

00:41:32but it has been

00:41:33a five-star performance

00:41:35from Volkirk

00:41:37no wins in 11

00:41:38on the roads

00:41:39for the Kilmarnock fans

00:41:41make that 12

00:41:41as they head for the exits

00:41:45Henderson

00:41:47even the centre

00:41:48backs up

00:41:48looking to get in

00:41:49on the action

00:41:49now it's Brogio

00:41:51goes one way

00:41:51then the other

00:41:52the post

00:41:53denies him

00:41:54and Stewart

00:41:55surely for the hat-trick

00:41:56once no

00:41:56and denied again

00:41:58by Roos

00:42:02well Barney Stewart

00:42:03should be celebrating

00:42:04a second

00:42:05Premiership hat-trick

00:42:06of the season

00:42:07and somehow

00:42:10can't force it home

00:42:11at the back stick

00:42:16given away

00:42:17and Brian Graham

00:42:19is straight onto it

00:42:21relentless from Volkirk

00:42:25Yates

00:42:25good shimmy

00:42:26and now he finds the post

00:42:33well from early in this game

00:42:34it looked like a question

00:42:35of how many

00:42:36Volkirk would score

00:42:37looks like they're going to have to settle

00:42:38for just the five

00:42:40two goals for

00:42:41for Dylan Tate

00:42:42and two goals for

00:42:43Barney Stewart

00:42:44absolutely delighted

00:42:45it's definitely up there

00:42:46with one of our best of the season

00:42:48great to bounce back

00:42:49from getting beat by

00:42:50Harps last week

00:42:51you know

00:42:51we're a lot of disappointed

00:42:52in our performance

00:42:53and

00:42:54the guys answered

00:42:56certainly answered me today

00:42:58they've

00:42:58ran

00:42:59and ran

00:43:00and ran

00:43:00great tempo about the game

00:43:02great entertainment

00:43:02for the fans here

00:43:03you can hear

00:43:04how

00:43:05they're enjoying the football

00:43:06listen

00:43:07just beaten by a better team

00:43:08today on the day

00:43:09without question

00:43:10no gripes about it

00:43:11Volkirk

00:43:11voted it more

00:43:13more aggressive

00:43:15right up for it

00:43:16could have been more

00:43:19honest stuff from Neil there

00:43:20a day to forget

00:43:21for his side

00:43:22Kilmarnock

00:43:23beaten by

00:43:24as Neil said

00:43:24the better team

00:43:25and they simply couldn't live

00:43:26with Volkirk's quality today

00:43:28there are bad starts

00:43:30and then

00:43:30there is this

00:43:31Richard

00:43:32I mean

00:43:32it probably summed up

00:43:33the day for Kilmarnock

00:43:34yeah

00:43:35I think it's just

00:43:36it's just energy

00:43:37from from Volkirk

00:43:38they move the ball quickly

00:43:39they put Kilmarnock

00:43:40under pressure

00:43:40Miller who

00:43:41had a fantastic game

00:43:43you know

00:43:43great all season

00:43:44yeah

00:43:44he gave the right back

00:43:45a really really tough time

00:43:47look here

00:43:48the defensive position

00:43:49is quite good

00:43:49it says right

00:43:50how do I beat him

00:43:51pass and move

00:43:51poor defender

00:43:52but great attacking play

00:43:54and I think

00:43:55Brown in the middle

00:43:55I think he panics

00:43:56you know

00:43:56I think he's in a decent

00:43:57enough position

00:43:58he's got to put that

00:43:59back out for a corner

00:44:00at the very worst

00:44:02but he gets

00:44:03his position's fine

00:44:04his body shape's

00:44:05he's a bit turned around

00:44:07there

00:44:07he's a bit flat footed

00:44:08is what he is

00:44:09but I think

00:44:10the little jab

00:44:11with the foot

00:44:12is a bit of panic

00:44:13thinking

00:44:13oh no

00:44:13I need to clear this

00:44:14I don't know what I'm doing

00:44:15good positive play

00:44:16from Volkirk

00:44:17and a fantastic start

00:44:18many OG's did you get

00:44:19in your career

00:44:19I think I scored

00:44:20two or three

00:44:21two or three

00:44:22okay

00:44:23Bownie Shirt

00:44:24he got a double

00:44:25probably should have

00:44:26got his hat trick

00:44:27but he's proven to be

00:44:28another superb sign

00:44:29and it's brilliant for him

00:44:31yeah

00:44:32and he's just

00:44:32you know

00:44:33obviously they're unfortunate

00:44:34here

00:44:34I think the blocker's

00:44:35just offside

00:44:36but

00:44:37he's just

00:44:37he's full of energy

00:44:39you know

00:44:39he runs

00:44:41he competes in the air

00:44:42he causes problems

00:44:43for defenders

00:44:44you see him here

00:44:44a brilliantly

00:44:47you know

00:44:48well worked corner

00:44:49Kamarnika

00:44:50very very static

00:44:50but he goes there

00:44:51and he wins the header

00:44:52great little glancing header

00:44:54and obviously then

00:44:54Tate just

00:44:55taps it in off the goalkeeper

00:44:56but I just think

00:44:57he's a real nuisance

00:44:59and he's got

00:45:00so many attributes

00:45:01I think you heard

00:45:02the manager talk about

00:45:03he's maybe still

00:45:04a little bit raw

00:45:04but that's a fantastic header

00:45:06I mean you'll appreciate

00:45:07that a lot more than me

00:45:09and you know

00:45:09his manager said

00:45:10he is still a little bit raw

00:45:11but he's got

00:45:12you know

00:45:13he's got huge potential

00:45:13and scoring goals

00:45:16is the hardest thing

00:45:16to do in the game

00:45:17as much as that pains me

00:45:18to say it

00:45:18it certainly is

00:45:19but he seems

00:45:19right now

00:45:20time for a new contract

00:45:21and a wage rise

00:45:22for the man

00:45:23I would say

00:45:23you're his agent

00:45:24eh

00:45:24you're his agent

00:45:25no I'm not his agent

00:45:26no

00:45:26but he deserves it

00:45:28you know what I mean

00:45:29I mean he's

00:45:29his story coming from

00:45:31obviously the university

00:45:32into

00:45:33now playing premiership

00:45:34football

00:45:35and you probably forget

00:45:36that he is still a young man

00:45:37and probably just at the start

00:45:39of his career

00:45:39but hopefully he goes on

00:45:40to do even better

00:45:41and bigger things

00:45:42yeah

00:45:42and again

00:45:43you know

00:45:43there's another moment here

00:45:45the right back doesn't know

00:45:46where he's going

00:45:48and again

00:45:48Brown in the middle of the pitch

00:45:49if you watch his body shape

00:45:50he actually ends up

00:45:51facing forward in the pitch

00:45:52if he takes two steps

00:45:53to his right

00:45:53he just clears the ball

00:45:54good positive play

00:45:55and it's a good ball in

00:45:56I think

00:45:58Barney Stewart

00:45:59just epitomises what Falkirk are

00:46:00they play with loads of energy

00:46:02they look like they're really

00:46:03really enjoying

00:46:03their football at the moment

00:46:05they most certainly are

00:46:06enjoying their football

00:46:07I mean you can see that

00:46:07and you can also see it

00:46:08from the fans that are

00:46:09turning out

00:46:10at the stadium

00:46:11it's packed

00:46:12every time they're at home

00:46:12well they're

00:46:13they're watching a good product

00:46:14yeah

00:46:15they're being entertained

00:46:16I think the way they play

00:46:17they're aggressive

00:46:18they're on the front foot

00:46:19they

00:46:19you know put teams under pressure

00:46:21and they're scoring goals

00:46:22good to watch

00:46:23and that's what fans want to see

00:46:24that is indeed

00:46:24Dylan Tate

00:46:25he made it 5 in 56 minutes

00:46:26that proved to be

00:46:28the final goal

00:46:29thankfully for Kilmarnock

00:46:30you know because

00:46:315-1 is bad enough

00:46:32but another good performance

00:46:33from him as well

00:46:34yeah and I get

00:46:35you know he probably

00:46:36to be fair to me

00:46:36he probably won't have

00:46:37many easier days

00:46:38in the middle of the pitch

00:46:38you know they break forward

00:46:40not a great pace

00:46:42but Kilmarnock are just

00:46:43you know they've got bodies there

00:46:45but they're not actually

00:46:46doing anything

00:46:46now you think he's

00:46:47maybe mis-kicked that

00:46:48I think it's a great strike

00:46:49but you know

00:46:50he confuses the goalie

00:46:51certainly

00:46:52but you see here

00:46:53I didn't say mis-kicked

00:46:53not aggressive for the 1v1

00:46:55I don't think he got a connection

00:46:55that he wanted on it

00:46:56and I think that helps him

00:46:57I think

00:46:58yeah I see what you mean

00:46:59I see what you mean

00:47:00and when you know

00:47:00when things are going off

00:47:02it flies into the net

00:47:03flies into the back of the net

00:47:04how damaging could this be

00:47:05for Kilmarn

00:47:05I mean things had been

00:47:06looking up for them

00:47:08since Neil and Dozzy

00:47:09had gone in

00:47:10and there was positivity

00:47:11and people were talking

00:47:12about them positively

00:47:13but you know

00:47:14a defeat like that

00:47:15a 5-1

00:47:16do you think it could be

00:47:17damaging for them

00:47:18or do you think

00:47:18it's then up to them

00:47:19to bounce back

00:47:20it could be very damaging

00:47:21and I think just their

00:47:22body language

00:47:22throughout most of the game

00:47:24there I thought

00:47:25was quite

00:47:26they looked defeated

00:47:27you know

00:47:27and yes

00:47:28again in that game

00:47:29they were

00:47:30but you've got to show

00:47:30something

00:47:31you've got to show

00:47:31your manager something

00:47:32because even in a 5-1

00:47:33go and show them

00:47:34that you want to be

00:47:35the guy who plays

00:47:36in the next game

00:47:36and I don't think

00:47:37many from that team

00:47:38could

00:47:38you know

00:47:39if he was to make

00:47:4011 changes

00:47:41in the next game

00:48:25points this season

00:48:26have been earned

00:48:27since Christmas

00:48:29no changes

00:48:30to the Dundee side

00:48:31they beat Aberdeen

00:48:313-2 last weekend

00:48:32no wonder

00:48:33it was the first time

00:48:34they'd won it

00:48:35for Tawdre

00:48:35in 22 years

00:48:36on the bench

00:48:37Brad Halliday

00:48:38makes a return

00:48:38just one change

00:48:40for Hibbs

00:48:40from the side

00:48:42Tottenham striker

00:48:44comes back in

00:48:44with former Dundee

00:48:46man Martin Boyle

00:48:47dropping to the bench

00:48:51Dundee have lost

00:48:52each of their last

00:48:53three league meetings

00:48:53with Hibbs

00:48:54but the deformed team

00:48:56in the bottom six

00:48:57they have to defend

00:48:59in the early stages

00:49:00here

00:49:01Cadden

00:49:01to deliver

00:49:02oh and Elding

00:49:03in the middle

00:49:04and Elding

00:49:05powers a header in

00:49:07that puts Hibbs ahead

00:49:08in the opening stages

00:49:10of this one

00:49:13he looks like

00:49:14some signing

00:49:15the Irish teenager

00:49:18highly thought of

00:49:19in his homeland

00:49:21and that's his second goal

00:49:23already for Hibbs

00:49:24his first was a glanced

00:49:25header against St Mirren

00:49:27that was a header

00:49:28of a different calibre

00:49:31he absolutely bullets

00:49:32that in

00:49:33and as is so often

00:49:35the case for Hibbs

00:49:36it's Nicky Cadden

00:49:37with the assist

00:49:40fine start

00:49:41for David Gray's side

00:49:43they've never lost

00:49:44when going in front

00:49:46Simon Murray

00:49:47the flag has stayed down

00:49:48he's in behind here

00:49:49the shot takes

00:49:50a wicked deflection

00:49:52and Dundee

00:49:53hits straight back

00:49:57Simon Murray

00:49:58with the goal

00:50:00four in his last

00:50:01three now

00:50:04he's struggled

00:50:04to hit the back

00:50:05of the net

00:50:06for a long spell

00:50:08this season

00:50:10but coming to the

00:50:11business end

00:50:11of the campaign

00:50:13he's on the

00:50:14score sheet

00:50:15once more

00:50:15it's Rocky

00:50:17Bashiri

00:50:18doesn't close

00:50:20Simon Murray

00:50:21doesn't follow

00:50:22the run either

00:50:23initially

00:50:26and it then

00:50:27just comes off

00:50:27Bashiri

00:50:28and spins away

00:50:29and you can see

00:50:30Murray is onside

00:50:36quite the start

00:50:37to this one

00:50:37Dundee now

00:50:38coming forward

00:50:40Cam Congreve

00:50:41thinks about the

00:50:42shot

00:50:43gets it to

00:50:43Tony O'Gann

00:50:45pulls it back

00:50:46and that's a

00:50:47vital foot

00:50:48from Salinger

00:50:52Hibbs still

00:50:52trying to

00:50:53scramble this

00:50:53away

00:50:54decent chance

00:50:55for Dundee

00:51:01Bonalassa

00:51:01just tripping

00:51:02over the ball

00:51:02and it

00:51:03allows Tony O'Gann

00:51:04to come away

00:51:05he's away from

00:51:05one challenge

00:51:06and then he

00:51:06goes down

00:51:07and Warren

00:51:08O'Hara

00:51:09gets a yellow

00:51:10card

00:51:12well we've

00:51:13seen a couple

00:51:13of these

00:51:14challenges of

00:51:15late

00:51:16is he the

00:51:16last man

00:51:17the referee

00:51:18doesn't think

00:51:19so

00:51:23will be a

00:51:24set piece

00:51:24move here

00:51:25from Dundee

00:51:28Yogan

00:51:29cuts it

00:51:29back

00:51:30the shot

00:51:32eventually

00:51:32comes from

00:51:33Danda

00:51:33and it skims

00:51:35just wide

00:51:37there was a

00:51:38couple of

00:51:38opportunities

00:51:39there for the

00:51:39hosts to

00:51:40try and pull

00:51:41the trigger

00:51:41it was Danda

00:51:43who eventually

00:51:45did so

00:51:47his shot

00:51:48off target

00:51:49could it

00:51:50have been hit

00:51:51there by

00:51:51Simon Murray

00:51:52we'll never

00:51:53know

00:51:59Congreve

00:51:59onto that

00:52:00brilliant ball

00:52:01thought about

00:52:01the first time

00:52:02crossed to

00:52:02Murray

00:52:02but just

00:52:03hesitated

00:52:09header

00:52:11the flag

00:52:12I think

00:52:13that came

00:52:13off Tony

00:52:14O'Gann

00:52:16and almost

00:52:17cleared the

00:52:17ball away

00:52:18for Hibbs

00:52:20it was Cam

00:52:21Congreve

00:52:22who delivered

00:52:22it

00:52:23the header

00:52:24at the

00:52:24front post

00:52:26glanced on

00:56:50second

00:56:52Congreve

00:56:52with the

00:56:52last kick

00:56:53of the

00:56:53ball

00:56:54makes it

00:56:543-3

00:56:57to be

00:56:57fair

00:56:57I think

00:56:58probably a

00:56:58minute before

00:56:59I should

00:56:59have slid

00:56:59the ball

00:56:59across

00:57:00should have

00:57:00put a

00:57:00better ball

00:57:01across

00:57:01and we

00:57:01should have

00:57:01equalised

00:57:02them

00:57:02but yeah

00:57:02I think

00:57:03I redeemed

00:57:04myself

00:57:04with the

00:57:05finish

00:57:05to be

00:57:05fair

00:57:06and it's

00:57:06probably

00:57:07about

00:57:07time

00:57:07I scored

00:57:08one of

00:57:08them

00:57:08to be

00:57:08fair

00:57:08coming

00:57:09inside

00:57:09and

00:57:10far

00:57:10corner

00:57:11but yeah

00:57:11really happy

00:57:12to get it

00:57:12yeah

00:57:12I think

00:57:13it says

00:57:14everything

00:57:14about our

00:57:14team at

00:57:15present

00:57:15that

00:57:16from a

00:57:17position of

00:57:18winning

00:57:18to them

00:57:19being behind

00:57:20we didn't

00:57:21give up

00:57:21we still

00:57:21kept going

00:57:22and going

00:57:23to that

00:57:23final

00:57:23whistle

00:57:24and a

00:57:25wonderful

00:57:25finish

00:57:26from

00:57:26Cam

00:57:26Congreves

00:57:27I think

00:57:28gave us

00:57:28a very

00:57:29much

00:57:29deserved

00:57:30point

00:57:3071 minutes

00:57:31find yourself

00:57:322-1 down

00:57:32from a

00:57:33really poor

00:57:33goal again

00:57:34but then

00:57:34I can't

00:57:35fault the

00:57:35players effort

00:57:36the desire

00:57:37to go and

00:57:38get back

00:57:39into the

00:57:39game

00:57:39they've done

00:57:39that

00:57:39to find

00:57:40themselves

00:57:40in front

00:57:41so that

00:57:41was certainly

00:57:42there

00:57:42that's why

00:57:43it is

00:57:43mixed emotions

00:57:44because I do

00:57:45have to take

00:57:45the positives

00:57:46from that

00:57:46I've already

00:57:46told the

00:57:47players that

00:57:47that's a

00:57:47really great

00:57:49trait to have

00:57:50to find

00:57:50yourself behind

00:57:51to then get

00:57:51back into the

00:57:52game

00:57:52but then you

00:57:52need to find

00:57:53a way to make

00:57:53sure you get

00:57:54over the line

00:57:54now one thing I

00:57:55would say is

00:57:55it's an

00:57:55incredible strike

00:57:56that

00:57:57won't do the

00:57:58point in the

00:57:58end but is it

00:57:59still avoidable

00:57:59from our point

00:58:00of view of course

00:58:00it is so that's

00:58:01something that we

00:58:02need to take that

00:58:03on the chin and

00:58:04obviously it feels

00:58:05like a bit of a

00:58:06defeat because of

00:58:06the manner of

00:58:07it but we need

00:58:09to move on

00:58:11brilliant entertainment

00:58:12at Denz this

00:58:13afternoon Richard

00:58:13a goal each in the

00:58:15first half for both

00:58:16the teams

00:58:17yeah it was you

00:58:18know it was a good

00:58:18game one of the

00:58:19better games to

00:58:19watch it was

00:58:20always something

00:58:21happening I mean

00:58:23this is if you're a

00:58:25striker you dream

00:58:25of somebody who can

00:58:26cross the ball

00:58:27like Nicky Carden

00:58:28but watch the run

00:58:29here from Elding

00:58:30you know he comes

00:58:31in from off the

00:58:31screen to start

00:58:32with and he just

00:58:33he knows where the

00:58:34ball's going he

00:58:35knows that Carden's

00:58:36got the quality to

00:58:36put it in there

00:58:37and it's a fantastic

00:58:39goal and it's a

00:58:39goal this is just

00:58:40lazy defending from

00:58:41Bashiri I've no

00:58:41idea what he's

00:58:42doing just just

00:58:44going with the run

00:58:45of Simon Murray

00:58:45you're quick enough

00:58:46you're strong enough

00:58:47now he gets really

00:58:49really unlucky in

00:58:49terms of the fact

00:58:50that it hits him

00:58:50and then deflects

00:58:51past his goalkeeper

00:58:52but you see here

00:58:53just run with him

00:58:54just you know you're

00:58:55there already just

00:58:56go with him and

00:58:57defend the situation

00:58:58properly then that

00:58:59negates this bit of

00:59:01luck and it's just

00:59:03they've got a high

00:59:04line and if you've

00:59:04got a high line you've

00:59:05got to be ready to

00:59:05drop yeah oh

00:59:07absolutely I've seen

00:59:07a couple of those

00:59:08tonight

00:59:09Hibs look like

00:59:10they've won it

00:59:10you heard David

00:59:10Gray there talking

00:59:11post-match the

00:59:12frustration will come

00:59:14to the other goal

00:59:14but they've put

00:59:15themselves in a

00:59:16great position

00:59:16yeah I mean this

00:59:17you know the ball

00:59:18turns over middle of

00:59:18the pitch fantastic

00:59:19vision and awareness

00:59:21from Martin Boyle and

00:59:21a great pass the

00:59:22touch is majestic and

00:59:24it's a brilliant finish

00:59:26fantastic goal from a

00:59:27Hibs point of view

00:59:27again it's exactly the

00:59:29same either step up

00:59:30quickly or just go

00:59:32with the run go and

00:59:32make contact stop his

00:59:34run forward and then

00:59:36you're in charge

00:59:37because you're goal

00:59:38side but it just

00:59:38lets him run right

00:59:39through the middle of

00:59:40them this again

00:59:41McGrath we know how

00:59:42good he is on his

00:59:43right side we know

00:59:44the quality he's got

00:59:45you've got to show

00:59:46him a wide I think

00:59:46they've got four

00:59:47players around the

00:59:47ball there they let

00:59:48him dance inside and

00:59:50from that position

00:59:51you'd fancy him you

00:59:52know it's a nice

01:00:06season and this goal

01:00:07for me it's goal of the

01:00:08day but like technically

01:00:10to be able to hit this

01:00:11ball side foot on the

01:00:14volley when it's coming

01:00:15to you like that

01:00:15normally you would

01:00:16lace it but he opens

01:00:17up the side foot it's

01:00:18an incredible finish

01:00:19it is it's an outrageous

01:00:20goal fantastic hits you

01:00:22know he says that he's

01:00:23probably due one of

01:00:24them well that's you

01:00:24know fair play I think

01:00:26I could have played

01:00:28until I was 62 and

01:00:29never scored a goal

01:00:29like that but Hibs are

01:00:31a bit panicky there

01:00:32they drop too far I

01:00:32think McGrath was

01:00:34highlighted he actually

01:00:35drops in to do the

01:00:36job of a centre half

01:00:37and when it comes out

01:00:38to the edge of the

01:00:38box he's not there to

01:00:39clear it but take

01:00:40nothing away from that

01:00:41goal that is absolutely

01:00:42fantastic

01:00:44David Gray reagent he

01:00:45loses such a late

01:00:46goal I mean they're

01:00:47seven points behind

01:00:48Marlewell now in fourth

01:00:50it's looking like a

01:00:51fifth placed finish for

01:00:54them where does that

01:00:56sit with the Hibernian

01:00:57supporters do you feel

01:00:58a fifth place finish

01:00:59I think they would be

01:01:00slightly disappointed

01:01:00with that I think

01:01:01over the course of the

01:01:02season I don't think

01:01:03they've they've shown

01:01:04enough form consistently

01:01:06they've not won enough

01:01:06games you know to

01:01:07chase down Motherwell

01:01:08to give you the

01:01:09impression that they

01:01:09will chase down

01:01:10Motherwell so I think

01:01:11you're right I think

01:01:11they'll finish fifth

01:01:12and I think they'll be

01:01:13slightly you know from

01:01:14I think from David

01:01:14Gray and his players

01:01:15and the fans I think

01:01:16they'll be slightly

01:01:16disappointed with that

01:01:17okay would today be

01:01:19the day for Livingston

01:01:20as they welcomed a

01:01:21wounded St Mirren

01:01:22following that 5-0

01:01:23defeat last weekend

01:01:26Livingston have picked

01:01:27up a point in back-to-back

01:01:28games now but three

01:01:29points would really turn

01:01:30up the heat on the

01:01:31teams just above them in

01:01:32the Premiership

01:01:33Saints look to react

01:01:35instantly after a

01:01:36stinging defeat from

01:01:36Motherwell for a long

01:01:38awaited away league

01:01:39victory

01:01:41only the one switch for

01:01:43Marvin Bartley and

01:01:43Livingston Fatty returns

01:01:45to the starting 11 with

01:01:46Montaño suspended

01:01:47Cabongo and Smith were

01:01:49scorers in last week's

01:01:50draw with Rangers

01:01:51Mackay still awaits his

01:01:52debut from the bench

01:01:54Fraser Richardson back

01:01:56is Tanzer and Lundaloo

01:01:57and Mandron are all called

01:01:58up for St Mirren as

01:02:00Steven Robinson makes six

01:02:01changes from that night

01:02:02to forgetting Paisley

01:02:03of the players removed

01:02:05Johnny McMenamin are

01:02:05unavailable

01:02:13this is the fourth time

01:02:14the sides have met this

01:02:15season so far

01:02:16with two fixtures here

01:02:17last month in the league

01:02:18and Scottish Cup

01:02:22Livingston spot space

01:02:24Smith

01:02:26Tate on the overlap

01:02:27that first time cross

01:02:29not far away

01:02:30as Pittman was looking

01:02:32to stretch and reach

01:02:34but no contact

01:02:35to trouble

01:02:36Shamal George

01:02:37and the St Mirren goal

01:02:40Livingston flooding

01:02:41forward

01:02:43Steven Robinson said

01:02:44he doesn't care

01:02:45which way St Mirren do it

01:02:46but they have to find

01:02:47a way to win today

01:02:51Lundaloo's looking

01:02:53for a route to go

01:02:55this is Tanzer

01:02:56O'Hara's moved forward

01:02:58Tanzer looks up

01:03:00swings the crossover

01:03:02Richardson

01:03:03oh it dips off the crossbar

01:03:05Kabongolo heads to safety

01:03:07what a chance for

01:03:09Jadon Richardson

01:03:10he's so delicate with the header

01:03:13and it nearly loops

01:03:14is Priort

01:03:21along it goes

01:03:22Fraser lets it bounce

01:03:24Muirhead sneaking in

01:03:26and it swerves high

01:03:29and wide

01:03:29he knows that's a big chance

01:03:32Marcus Fraser

01:03:34so experienced

01:03:37just lets the ball drop

01:03:39Muirhead aware

01:03:40but can't find the target

01:03:44he knows that's a big

01:03:44O'Hara swings the free kick

01:03:45in

01:03:47heads forward

01:03:49Muirhead gets a touch

01:03:51Mark O'Hara

01:03:53oh and the top of the

01:03:55net of Jérôme Priort

01:04:00just felt very relaxed

01:04:02from both sides

01:04:02and O'Hara thought

01:04:03lets have a go

01:04:06Marvin Bartley thinks

01:04:08St Mirren

01:04:09coming into this one

01:04:10like a wounded animal

01:04:11after the defeat

01:04:12against Motherwell

01:04:16Gogic short with the header

01:04:18it's Smith

01:04:19big save George

01:04:22Muirhead's asking questions

01:04:24of the referee

01:04:25but Smith

01:04:25was just moving

01:04:27out to that wide angle

01:04:29let's take another look

01:04:30Muirhead causing the trouble

01:04:32once again

01:04:34Smith's touch

01:04:35trying to set

01:04:36Gogic makes a decent recovery

01:04:39Patti

01:04:41chases

01:04:44keeps a hold of possession

01:04:46Tate

01:04:47driven low

01:04:48but can only find

01:04:49Phillips

01:04:49Killian Phillips

01:04:51looks long for

01:04:52Nlundalu

01:04:52and he wins the race

01:04:54in behind the defence

01:04:56Kabongolu recovers

01:04:57for now

01:05:00Nlundalu the ball

01:05:01still sticking

01:05:02Livingston claim

01:05:03O'Hara has it

01:05:04Tangsert

01:05:07this is Richardson

01:05:09Mikael Mandron

01:05:12Nlundalu

01:05:15Nlundalu

01:05:16St Mirren are ahead

01:05:17Dan Nlundalu

01:05:20with the looping header

01:05:22look at this delightful

01:05:24little chip from

01:05:25Nlundalu

01:05:27Nlundalu rising the highest

01:05:31gets good direction on the header

01:05:33and it's a third league goal of the season

01:05:35his first in the league since October

01:05:37or will it be

01:05:39VAR is having a check

01:05:42appears to be a check for handball

01:05:46this was the incident

01:05:48the ball ricochets up

01:05:49it looks like it comes off the chest

01:05:52of Nlundalu

01:05:58and the goal will stand

01:06:04Richardson stabs

01:06:05Lundalu

01:06:08good hold up play

01:06:09just asks to settle things down

01:06:11Phillips searching for the diagonal

01:06:17could there be a chance for Livingston

01:06:19space on either wing

01:06:21Smith slips through

01:06:23Muirhead

01:06:25George

01:06:26comes spreading out

01:06:27it's strong defending to prevent Muirhead

01:06:31finding a clear route through

01:06:35Freckleton staying strong

01:06:40Tanzer

01:06:44Phillips

01:06:47clipped in by Scott Tanzer

01:06:49good take from Nlundalu

01:06:51finds a way through

01:06:53Mandron

01:06:53is blocked by his own teammate

01:06:55now Dan Nlundalu

01:06:57did everything right

01:06:58up until the finish

01:07:02it's a Livingston free kick

01:07:04frustration for the striker

01:07:07that touch peels away

01:07:08magnificently

01:07:09but can only stab it

01:07:11at Jérôme Priort

01:07:13Steven Robinson would love a second St Mirren goal

01:07:16as we move into the final third

01:07:24pitman

01:07:27first time delivery

01:07:28into the box

01:07:29Kabongolo's there

01:07:31and Kabongolo nets

01:07:35a Livingston equaliser

01:07:38and Marvin Bartley wants to use that momentum

01:07:41it's goals in back-to-back games for the French defender

01:07:47gaps in the St Mirren defence

01:07:49it looks like an easy finish

01:07:51but that's a difficult header

01:07:52and it's onside

01:07:58Phillips threads through

01:08:00Wilson lets it run

01:08:03and Jérôme Priort

01:08:04there's an agony here

01:08:08Richardson the culprit

01:08:09and he offers his apologies

01:08:11to the goalkeeper

01:08:12Livingston weren't happy

01:08:14with the attempt

01:08:18referee

01:08:19Don Robertson

01:08:20just checking Jérôme Priort

01:08:22is okay

01:08:24shake of the head

01:08:26from Steven Robinson

01:08:27in the St Mirren dugout

01:08:30Barry McKay

01:08:32Livingston pushing

01:08:34great work from Noobly

01:08:38goes for the cross

01:08:39there's a tangle

01:08:40the Livingston support scream

01:08:43play continues

01:08:44back in

01:08:45Tanzer heads out

01:08:46only as far as Finlayson

01:08:48this is Barry McKay

01:08:51teasing delivery

01:08:52and it's cleared away

01:08:54and turned behind

01:08:56for a Livingston corner

01:08:58late late pressure

01:08:59from the home side

01:09:01Bokrila's unhappy

01:09:03he thought there was

01:09:04something in this

01:09:06listen it always has to be

01:09:07a point game

01:09:08we have to be positive

01:09:08with it

01:09:09you know

01:09:10let the players know

01:09:10at half time

01:09:11in terms of our first half

01:09:12performance

01:09:12was too far off

01:09:14of what I expect

01:09:15but ultimately

01:09:16when you're not at your best

01:09:17it's important not to lose

01:09:18games of football

01:09:18and today we managed

01:09:20to get a point

01:09:20in the end

01:09:21I had a couple of

01:09:22opportunities

01:09:22to be fair

01:09:23at the end of the first half

01:09:24and a couple in the second half

01:09:25as well

01:09:25but as I said

01:09:26we were off for it

01:09:27a little bit today

01:09:27I'm disappointed

01:09:28we didn't win it

01:09:29because the one chance

01:09:30that Levy had

01:09:31was a big long

01:09:32looping ball

01:09:33into the box

01:09:33that we should deal with

01:09:34easily

01:09:34and we don't

01:09:35so that's really disappointing

01:09:37but other than that

01:09:37there was positives

01:09:38we were solid

01:09:39as I said

01:09:40we played some nice stuff

01:09:41at times

01:09:41but you can see

01:09:43a little bit

01:09:43of lack of confidence

01:09:44so we have to change that

01:09:45by winning games

01:09:46it's the only way for it

01:09:48It is the only way

01:09:49not the result

01:09:50either team wanted

01:09:51or needed

01:09:52Richard

01:09:53No

01:09:53and probably not

01:09:54the performance

01:09:55either manager

01:09:56wanted or needed

01:09:57I think it was

01:09:58a game that lacked

01:09:59a little bit of quality

01:09:59and plenty of effort

01:10:01plenty of endeavour

01:10:02but just at the top

01:10:03end of the pitch

01:10:04for both sides

01:10:05they were just a bit lacking

01:10:07St Mirren did score

01:10:08the first goal

01:10:08right before half time

01:10:09Dan Lindeloo

01:10:11decent header

01:10:12Yeah

01:10:12I mean it's a fantastic header

01:10:13obviously they break

01:10:14really well

01:10:15they go direct

01:10:16Lindeloo's there

01:10:17he's 1v2

01:10:19possibly 1v3

01:10:21but he's just

01:10:22determined to stay on the ball

01:10:23he's trying to get a shot

01:10:24away here

01:10:24he could possibly pass it

01:10:26to Mandron

01:10:26I think it is

01:10:27but again

01:10:27doesn't give it up

01:10:29It's absolute chaos

01:10:30but if you watch here

01:10:31Wilson and Kabongolo

01:10:33switch over just now

01:10:34that creates a bit of space

01:10:36for him

01:10:36he's now on the wrong side

01:10:38of Kabongolo

01:10:39and given his height

01:10:40you'd think he'd put up

01:10:41a better challenge

01:10:42but he's

01:10:43and Lindeloo's

01:10:44just the wrong side of him

01:10:45and he gets that little yard

01:10:46He gets the run on him

01:10:47doesn't he

01:10:47He gets the run on him

01:10:48but it's the bit after this

01:10:50because it's so chaotic here

01:10:52Livingston don't really recover

01:10:53and then from that moment

01:10:55you know

01:10:56you give a striker

01:10:57half a yard in the box

01:10:58but you know

01:10:59the ball in

01:10:59it's not even like

01:11:00it's a great cross

01:11:01it's a decent ball in

01:11:02but it's a fantastic header

01:11:03I quite like the cross

01:11:04I think it's stood up well

01:11:05Yeah but there's no pace

01:11:07in it

01:11:07there's a lot for him to do

01:11:08There's still a lot to do

01:11:08and he directs it really well

01:11:10into that far corner

01:11:11Yeah

01:11:12so St Mirren the better team

01:11:13first half

01:11:13I think Livingston

01:11:15pushed really hard

01:11:16in that second half

01:11:17to try and get the equaliser

01:11:18and it came from

01:11:19Kabongolo himself

01:11:21Yeah

01:11:22I think

01:11:22you know

01:11:23again

01:11:23it was a game of

01:11:24hard work and endeavour

01:11:25and tackles and second balls

01:11:27and

01:11:27I mean

01:11:28the defending from

01:11:30St Mirren here

01:11:31is

01:11:32awful

01:11:32Absolutely awful

01:11:34I think

01:11:35Livingston actually have

01:11:363v2 at the back post

01:11:37having said that

01:11:39I don't think Gogich

01:11:40covers himself in glory here

01:11:41it's not

01:11:42you know

01:11:42it's just a ball

01:11:43lumped into the box

01:11:44he's all alone in there

01:11:46but again

01:11:47it's an absolutely

01:11:48fantastic header

01:11:49he's got no right

01:11:50to score from there

01:11:51There's no pace on it

01:11:52to get it

01:11:52There's no pace on the ball

01:11:54you know

01:11:54he's finished that

01:11:55like a top striker

01:11:56so credit to him

01:11:57but I just think

01:11:58from a St Mirren point of view

01:12:00when you're 1-0 up in the game

01:12:01such a big game

01:12:02where the teams around you

01:12:03you know losing

01:12:04I think you need to

01:12:05you need to try and win that game

01:12:07and just defend your box

01:12:08a bit better

01:12:08Can you see any scenario

01:12:10playing out between now

01:12:11and end of the season

01:12:12where Livy get enough points

01:12:13to catch the teams above them?

01:12:15Unfortunately for them

01:12:17and for Big Marv

01:12:18no

01:12:18I just think they're too far gone

01:12:19you see there

01:12:20they lack real quality

01:12:21they lack any confidence

01:12:22going forward

01:12:23and they do lose

01:12:24poor goals as well

01:12:25and I just think

01:12:26that the combination of that

01:12:27is you know

01:12:28it's why they are

01:12:29the way in the league

01:12:29it's also

01:12:31it's

01:12:32no I just can't see

01:12:33I'm trying to think of a way

01:12:34to see them

01:12:35well I mean the confidence

01:12:35must be so low

01:12:36I mean they've not won

01:12:37since August

01:12:38you imagine they're in that

01:12:38changing room

01:12:39yes

01:12:39like 1-29 or something

01:12:40so

01:12:41no for me

01:12:42there's no way back

01:12:42for Livingston

01:12:43I'm sorry

01:12:43OK then
