00:01The greatest show on earth is about to begin.
00:07That is outrageous!
00:09And scores!
00:28Oh dear, oh dear!
00:35That's a hula!
00:40Is this what Scottish football is about?
00:43Delicious!
00:44Oh, look!
00:49Champions!
00:52This has been an absolute barnstormer!
01:00Hello and welcome to A View from the Terrace,
01:03the show that takes Scottish football on the adventure of a lifetime
01:06to the centre of the earth and back all within 45 minutes.
01:11My name is Craig Telfer and I will be your guide on your quest.
01:14And today I am joined by a man who is hated but rated,
01:18flouncy but bouncy and thinning but winning.
01:20It's Joel Sked.
01:22Less winning, more thinning.
01:24And we are also joined by someone who has been described online
01:27as sounding like a human saxophone.
01:29It's Amy Canavan.
01:31Pretty accurate.
01:32It's great to actually see you both.
01:33The first time in 2026 we have the opportunity to hang out.
01:37Pretty exciting stuff.
01:38More apprehensive because when this show's on,
01:43hearts tend to do badly and I don't need hearts to do badly
01:45over the next few weeks.
01:46I've been willing this show to come back more than ever.
01:49Enjoy the show.
01:55Right, let's get stuck into it.
01:56Let's get stuck into the winners and losers
01:58from the last seven days in Scottish football.
02:01And we're going to have to start with the losers
02:03and this is from the Scottish Cup quarterfinal
02:06between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday.
02:10And the game was marred by the ugly scenes we saw at the end
02:13when fans from both sides spilled onto the pitch.
02:16And it feels as though it's come at a really bad time
02:19for fandom in Scottish football
02:21because there's a full stand of Celtic supporters at the match.
02:24And further down the SPFL pyramid
02:26we've seen trials with alcohol back in the game
02:29and it feels just like this has set everything back.
02:32I think that's the biggest thing, isn't it?
02:33We felt that baby steps were finally being taken to football fans,
02:37being treated like adults at long last
02:39and now we're being hampered again by this rather exhausting conversation
02:43that we need to be having.
02:44And it just feels that this moment will act as a case study
02:47for all those who want to, you know, strip us of all those great things.
02:51And it just feels that this is going to be used as that's the moment why.
02:56The scenes themselves were perhaps the most interesting aspect about that,
02:59about that game unsavoury as they were.
03:01But the fallout from it has been really frustrating
03:04and the fact that people have been bringing up the alcohol ban.
03:07Alcohol had nothing to do with that.
03:09It was just two sets of fans who hate each other.
03:12Then you've got the Ultras coming in for it
03:13and just everyone branding the Ultras as bad.
03:16Yes, the Ultras are involved, but so were a lot of other just normal fans.
03:19It feels like all the progress, all the positives about these different things
03:23just get put to one side and it sets us back.
03:26It's not just Rangers and Celtic supporters that are guilty for bad behaviour.
03:29We actually saw that 24 hours earlier outside Palmerston
03:33in the match between Queen of the South and Stenhousemuir.
03:34A brick was thrown through the Stenhousemuir supporters bus.
03:38Two people have been charged in relation to that
03:40and the supporters actually had to share the team bus back to FK5.
03:44And it's just a reminder for all the great stuff that fans can do
03:48and the power of Scottish football.
03:50There are just some people that just make an arse of it for everyone.
03:52But thankfully there was plenty of other good stuff that happened in Scottish football
03:55starting with Saturday night's match between Dunfermline Athletic
03:58and Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup quarterfinal.
04:01The best mascot in the business.
04:03He was back in action.
04:08I have never seen a sheep or a leash before.
04:11Yes.
04:11That was certainly not out of Aberdeen.
04:13An inflatable sheep.
04:13An inflatable sheep as well, yeah.
04:15It's important to point out.
04:16Not a real sheep was harmed.
04:18No animals were harmed in the making of this stunt.
04:20And this is of course Sammy the Tammy, the greatest mascot in Scottish football.
04:23He has been guilty for some incredible stunts in his time.
04:26He once sledged down the Norrie McCarthy stand
04:29and he got in a fight with a seagull.
04:31But this might be one of his most triumphant moments yet.
04:34And what a fantastic way to wind up the Aberdeen supporters.
04:37And I think if there was a perfect metaphor for that match,
04:40it was Aberdeen on a leash.
04:41I think this, if you ask Aberdeen fans,
04:43that was probably their highlight of the night.
04:45Just being cheered up by Sammy the Tammy
04:46before they had to witness what they did witness.
04:48As good as Dunferman Athletic were,
04:51it's a reminder just how bad Aberdeen are at the moment.
04:54Completely schooled by a championship club as well.
04:56Yeah, and Peter Leaven didn't pull any punches post-match.
04:59He called them atrocious, disgraceful, embarrassing, horrendous, unacceptable.
05:04And it's a side who are trending in the wrong direction.
05:07Yes, and that direction could be to the championship.
05:12They've obviously just been schooled by a championship side of the weekend.
05:16And admittedly not a great championship.
05:18A mid-table championship side.
05:19A mid-table championship side.
05:20And you just worry about the Aberdeen side.
05:23I don't worry about them.
05:23Aberdeen fans will be worried about them.
05:25But there is an absolute stench about them, just from top to bottom.
05:28Joe, things could be looking up for Aberdeen.
05:31Earlier in the week it was announced that Steven Robinson has been appointed their new manager.
05:35He's come in from St Mirren.
05:37What's your thoughts on that?
05:38He ticks a lot of boxes when Lutz Farenstiel came in and he talked about the type of manager he
05:43wants.
05:44He kind of describes Steven Robinson.
05:47He's done a really good job at Mullerwell.
05:49Fantastic job at St Mirren.
05:51And I think he's deserved this move to Aberdeen.
05:53It's the timing for me.
05:55You could have just gone and get him.
05:57Mm-hmm.
05:57Ages ago.
05:58When you've sat Jimmy.
06:01You've waited months.
06:02You've looked elsewhere.
06:03And then you've realised we're struggling here.
06:06And then you've just pivoted back to Steven Robinson, who I think you could have just went out and appointed
06:10him.
06:10Long guys in.
06:11You could have just got him up in a car from Pays.
06:13It feels like if this appointment had been made three months ago, I think it would perhaps be a bit
06:17more positively.
06:18But I think given how poorly St Mirren have done, I really don't think there's any margin for error for
06:22him to come in.
06:22I think that we have a lot of disgruntled fans.
06:25I think he could do a good job of it.
06:26I do agree with a lot of stuff you're saying.
06:28I just think it's just perhaps three months too late.
06:30Let's have a laugh at Douglas Ross, the linesman who was running at the Falkirk-Dundee United game on the
06:36Friday night.
06:37Fell on his backside.
06:38In this 25-26 campaign.
06:40Absolutely.
06:42And there you go.
06:43Right on cue.
06:44Assistant referee.
06:46It's not a great challenge by Canestes, but he's absolutely wiped out Douglas Ross.
06:54Oh dear, they appear to have a better angle.
06:57Oh.
07:00Hey!
07:02Yell a card for simulation.
07:04Hey!
07:06I think there would have been a lot of people watching that,
07:09whether at the stadium or at home, that cheered that like a last minute winner,
07:12because there's two more risable professions than a politician and a referee.
07:18And then you've got Douglas Ross on his backside.
07:20I think we're all the fan.
07:21There was a fan in the background who enjoyed the coming together,
07:24but then he realised that Douglas Ross was down and he was out of his cheer.
07:27Nothing quite united the fan base like that.
07:29And that game was also a reminder of just how heartwarming Scottish football can be,
07:34because it was a brilliant post-match interview with Falkirk full-back Leon McCann.
07:37Yeah, I was watching the BBC coverage afterwards and they were talking about his excellent performance,
07:42the cross for the second goal, a brilliant cross.
07:44And then Leon McCann dropped in that it was the best week of his life because his son Brooks had
07:50heard his and his partner Morgan's voice for the very first time with a hearing implant.
07:54Oh, what's all that noise? Hello? Hi? Yes?
08:05It's so beautiful and it's, the cross is great but stuff the cross at this rate.
08:09This is a real, it's a real magic moment and it's the way that he's dealt with it.
08:13He spoke about it before, being very open about it and using his platform in a right way and it
08:17was,
08:17it was a proper, bring a tear to a glass eye moment.
08:20It certainly was and on Sunday evening St Mirren beat Partick Thistle 2-1 to progress the semi-final
08:25and the draw for that semi-final was conducted by former Hibernian goalkeeper Conrad Logan and Amy Canavan.
08:38Thanks, I think that was a compliment in there somewhere.
08:40Enjoy yourself. That was pretty cool, that was pretty cool I must admit.
08:43Being involved in the semi-final draw for the Scottish Gas Men's Scottish Cup,
08:47I don't know how many times I did say that to try and make sure I got it right.
08:50But all I'm delighted about more so is that Conrad got the draw right
08:54because it delivered the tie that we all wanted.
08:58Dunfermline Athletic against Falkirk, a repeat of the 2009 Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden.
09:03I cannot wait.
09:04I can't wait either.
09:05As soon as Celtic and Samaritan were drawn, get them out of the way, a repeat of the League Cup
09:09final.
09:09Who cares? Get them out of the way.
09:10Falkirk versus Dunfermline, this was the draw that everyone wanted.
09:13I actually punched the air with this.
09:15It's two teams who, they've got a really strong rivalry with one another.
09:19There's a lot of enmity, a lot of intimacy between the two sides.
09:22No one can really quite explain where it comes from, there's a lot of differing theories,
09:25but it's certainly two sides that aren't necessarily linked by geography
09:28and that's what perhaps makes it more fun.
09:31It's a great occasion for both fans, delighted for both fans
09:33because they've been through a hell of a lot, but even more so for the PARS
09:35because you've seen them on Saturday night at East End Park.
09:39What a ground that is, what a crowd they've got, the atmosphere.
09:41And they've had, the fans especially, had a miserable time over the last two decades.
09:45So this is a chance to go hammed in against your rivals, potentially getting in the final.
09:50That's really exciting.
09:51That's enough about the Scottish Cup.
09:53Let's actually leave the Scottish Cup altogether.
09:55Let's leave these borders altogether and let's go down into England
09:58to talk about a Scottish fullback who is reminding everyone of his quality.
10:02This is Andy Robertson, the Scotland captain who had a man-of-match performance
10:06in Liverpool's 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wonders in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
10:11Scored an absolute rocket.
10:12It was a real thing of beauty.
10:14And it was a performance that we know Andy Robertson very much still has in his locker.
10:20I'm really glad for him that he is now coming in for a fair bit of praise on the back
10:24of it.
10:24I think the punditry team of Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy were really talking him up.
10:29And I think really sharing the view that a lot of us have maybe felt
10:31that he's been sidelined a little bit unfairly this term.
10:34And hopefully our next slot maybe takes a little bit of note of that.
10:36Because we would all like to see Andy Robertson have a little bit of game time
10:39before lifting the World Cup.
10:40Now let's leave the United Kingdom altogether and head to Italy
10:43to check in on the progress of another Scotland superstar.
10:46Kieran Bowie in Fair Verona where we lay our scene.
10:49That's a bit of Shakespeare for you there.
10:51Scored his first goal for the club.
10:53Aye, very good, but the game was in Bologna.
10:55Doofus.
10:56I know more about Kieran Bowie than I do Shakespeare.
10:58This is the match-up we never knew we needed.
11:00Italian football with Gaelic commentary live on the BBC, free to air.
11:04What a time to be alive.
11:06Here's an opportunity.
11:07Barless Japanese votes.
11:08So go Kieran Bowie.
11:21It was a fantastic weekend for Kieran himself.
11:24It's a fifth appearance, his first goal, turned out to be the match-winner,
11:28ended a 12-game winless run for his side.
11:30Even though there are quite a few Scots there and we've kind of grown used to it,
11:33it's still cool to see someone, whether it was Kieran Bowie or Lewis Ferguson
11:38or Scott McTominay, just scoring goals in Italy.
11:40Well, we've looked at two of the winners from the Scotland men's team.
11:43I think this is perhaps a good opportunity to talk about the women's team.
11:46They are top of their World Cup qualifying group.
11:49After two very comfortable victories over Luxembourg,
11:52they're in pole position to get out of the group
11:55and I think this is the perfect opportunity to take a bit of a temperature check
11:58and look at where the team is right now.
12:01Amy Canavan, you are following the women's team all over the world.
12:05Could you give us a bit of a lie of the land?
12:07Two really handsome victories in the last week or so.
12:11A 5-0 win away to Luxembourg and then a 7-0 in the reverse back at Hampden.
12:15So, a great way to start off a really crucial World Cup qualifying campaign
12:19with all eyes on the tournament next summer.
12:22I got the feeling that under the previous regime, Pedro Martinez-Losa,
12:26that it wasn't quite aligned, everyone wasn't quite moving in the same direction
12:31and it just wasn't as happy and as positive as it perhaps should have been and it is perhaps now.
12:35It still feels like a new era with Melissa Andriotta, even though she was appointed last April,
12:40she had two games at the tail end of the Nations League A campaign.
12:43You listen to the players, they have only known Mel for under a year and they are so complimentary about
12:49her already.
12:50It's really quite impressive and it's not just words, you can see it in action, it's infectious.
12:55That's right, in fact there was a video posted on the YouTube channel, it's called National Team YouTube channel,
12:59from October of the team take part in splatter painting.
13:02Really channeling their inner Jackson Pollock and just chucking paint at a canvas,
13:06but it looked like everyone was having a good laugh.
13:08I think it looks pretty fun.
13:10And I think it's really, the way you say chucking it, I think they were a little bit in that,
13:14the deeper meaning that they were getting rid of everything that has sort of gone before.
13:18That's what I took from it. Art, you know, everyone sees art differently.
13:23For this team to be more than the sum of the parts, rather than the less of the sum of
13:27the parts,
13:27which they have been, they need to be together, they need to have that feel-good factor.
13:31And on top of that as well, it feels like it's a, maybe for someone like Caroline Weir,
13:35who is our best player playing for Armageddon Ballon,
13:37a door nominee, this feels like it could be her last chance to get to World Cup.
13:40Yeah, that's it. She's 30 now, going to be 31 in June.
13:43She's got the captaincy. She's always felt it because of, you know, her stature in the game,
13:47the eyes naturally do turn to her.
13:50But she has now taken on the actual leadership qualities where, you know,
13:53you had somebody like Rachel Corsett before her.
13:56Caroline's the first to admit it, Erin as well.
13:58When it's been their country's hour of need, they've maybe not performed the way that they know they can
14:02and not given as much. Now there really is no margin for error
14:06and there's no hiding place for these players.
14:08Erin's the vice-captain as well, and they're taking it in their stride.
14:11They want that responsibility.
14:12I wish they had the responsibility of explaining the qualification process right now because it's really, really difficult.
14:18Basically, there are four teams in our group, Luxembourg, Israel, Belgium and ourselves,
14:22and the top three teams will progress to knockout stages against teams from the lower end of Nations League Group
14:29A
14:30and some of the better teams from Nations League Group C.
14:32So the World Cup qualifying campaign, it feels like part World Cup qualifying, part Nations League, part daft NFL sort
14:39of playoff system.
14:40Once you've done that, you get down to sort of like the final 16 teams get to play each other.
14:45We are unseeded, so we're obviously going to have a more difficult draw.
14:48And the seven of the eight best winners go through to the World Cup proper
14:53and then the eighth winner goes into like an intercontinental playoff.
14:57I think if I described that right, is that correct?
14:59I kind of lost myself halfway.
15:01Yeah, but I think you're on the right lines.
15:03To me, it seems like an absolute nonsense.
15:05I don't know if it just feels like it's because it's a World Cup qualifier.
15:07It kind of devalues the fact it's a World Cup qualifier rather than you just win your group
15:12and that's you in the World Cup.
15:13The fact that Scotland might have to play as many as 12 games to get to the World Cup in
15:19Brazil.
15:19It is convoluted, but what I would say is this is a qualification process that the girls are familiar with.
15:25This was the same sort of...
15:26It doesn't make it right though.
15:27It doesn't make it right, but it's the system that they have to follow if they wanted to reach Euro
15:302025.
15:31We know how we're going to get there.
15:33Will we get there?
15:34Do you think we can qualify?
15:35At the moment, I'm not overly confident.
15:37I think it's early stages under the new management.
15:41I don't think, while the results against Luxembourg were brilliant and sets us up for the rest of the campaign,
15:47I don't think he can read too much into it.
15:49We've been stung in the past by getting very close and not getting over the line.
15:53At the moment, I think it's kind of wait and see.
15:55Joe, I'm a wee bit more optimistic.
15:57I think it's a tentative yes that Scotland can qualify for the World Cup.
16:00I think that it's the games next month against Belgium that are going to be the real barometer as to
16:05how we're going to get on.
16:06You know, middle to front, that is always where the strength is.
16:09And I think it's strengthened even more so now with somebody like Kathleen McGovern leading the line.
16:13That is what really does excite me.
16:14She's not even been an international for a year yet and she already has five goals in six games at
16:20international level.
16:20She's been electric for Hibs as well.
16:21Ridiculous.
16:22Incredible.
16:22He has 49 goals in 54 games for Hibs.
16:25Those numbers, they speak for themselves.
16:28It takes some pressure off Weir and Cuff Park.
16:31It actually gives them like a focal point and a target.
16:33It allows them to do what they do best, you know, because they are used to playing with the top
16:37players in the world at Real Madrid and at Chelsea.
16:39So, I've got no concerns about going forward.
16:42The going back is where, you know, the concerns do lie.
16:44Even against Luxembourg, there were a few hairy scary moments that you do think, you know, a better team, Belgium,
16:50will capitalize on.
16:51Do I think they'll get to the World Cup?
16:53I am very much trying to work my way around that one.
16:55I think you've got to give them the confidence.
16:59They know themselves that this, for many, is the absolute last chance.
17:03They do a lot of talking.
17:05They're the best talkers in the world, actually.
17:07And now it's time to walk the walk.
17:09And I do get the sense that they're ready.
17:11It would be brilliant if we could qualify for the World Cup.
17:13The last time we were there was 2019.
17:15And I remember the match prior to us going over there was against Jamaica at Hampden.
17:20Nearly 20,000 people turned up for it.
17:22And it felt like that was a turning point for women's football in Scotland.
17:27The fact that we haven't been able to follow that.
17:29We missed out on qualification for the Euros.
17:30We missed out on qualification for the next World Cup.
17:33It feels like...
17:34Momentum was lost.
17:35Momentum was lost, yeah.
17:36An opportunity was missed as well, I think it's fair to say.
17:39You need to get to these tournaments to have that prestige and that esteem.
17:42We've seen it with the men's team.
17:43You know, the fact that we qualified for back-to-back Euros.
17:45The fact that we're going to the World Cup.
17:47I think excitement in the men's team really is out of a fever pitch.
17:50If we can get to the World Cup with the women's side, I think we can reinvigorate that.
17:54And the World Cup's in Brazil.
17:55If you can't get interested and get motivated for a World Cup in Brazil.
17:59That's all the needs that you want.
18:00Because I want a trip to Brazil.
18:02Who wouldn't want a World Cup in Brazil?
18:03I think after explaining the qualification process, I think I'll deserve a trip to Brazil off the back of that.
18:08Oh, man!
18:09I give a five-month solo.
18:17Oh, man!
18:24Oh!
18:35Oh, man!
18:37Oh, man!
18:37Oh, man!
18:44My name's Chick Young. I'm a journalist, retired.
18:48I think I could claim to be the brother, Walfred, of Duke La Pompersone.
18:52I brought the Cuba photograph. I've got that.
18:54All right, brilliant.
18:55I got a new pair of football boots to go to the Cuba tour.
18:58They're still in the box. Didn't he play a game?
19:03My name's Jonathan Watson. I'm an actor,
19:05and I occasionally played on the Duke La Pompersone left wing.
19:10Bertie Vogts played for us once.
19:13Really?
19:13Yeah, our captain was Tommy Burns, Cade Agleish, Rod Stewart.
19:18I thought, what am I doing here?
19:20I'm not the one in this team.
19:21We all thought that, yeah.
19:26Tony Roper, retired comedy actor and Duke La Pompersone legend.
19:33We must have, in a selection sometime,
19:36really got some 200 Scottish calves between us.
19:41Exactly, yeah.
19:42I don't know of any other charity team worldwide
19:47that did what we did.
19:54Oh, very much not seeing you.
19:56Oh, shoot.
19:57It's awesome.
19:57It's been the same way.
19:59Surprise, you're still breathing.
20:01Still breathing.
20:01Lord Watson, how are you?
20:03How you are.
20:07There wasn't red, yeah.
20:09So who else is there?
20:10Charlie Miller, Jenny McCabe, Peter Martin.
20:16Ex-professional players love the camaraderie,
20:20the fun, the wind-ups of the dressing room.
20:23And they lose that when their career is over.
20:26Well, here was a chance to keep it going.
20:29I think the concept of Duke La Pompersone was amazing.
20:35The history of Duke La Pompersone follows thus.
20:39The first game, he got in touch with me and asked me,
20:42I guess because of my contacts,
20:43could I get ex-pros and people together?
20:46Because I came up with Pompersone.
20:48Oh, did you?
20:48Aye.
20:48Well, you always got to laugh with Pompersone.
20:52Pompersone.
20:52We got the team model.
20:55Oh, yes.
20:57Fatis Baldus.
20:58Fatis Baldus Illegitimus.
20:59Aye.
21:007,000 turned up.
21:02We decided to go a tour and it grew.
21:06Walter Smith played, Bobby Lennart, Danny McGrain.
21:09Got to get a ridiculous side of quality.
21:12Some of the best midfield player you've ever played with?
21:14My answer?
21:15No.
21:17Second best.
21:18Second best.
21:20Danny McGrain's other one was,
21:21you stop running about, you stop running about,
21:23I'm getting tired watching you.
21:31That's not a proper neglecting,
21:33but I was running about it.
21:35No, that was a proper dude defending.
21:36Everybody caught in half way line.
21:40Look at that.
21:41Look at that pass.
21:43Super.
21:45They're playing a very high line, are we now?
21:48They're actually defending in their heart.
21:53We were invited to compete in an over-35s tournament in Berlin.
21:59We romped the tournament with two bus drivers.
22:02One of the drivers said, look, I'd love to get a game.
22:05So we put him on for the last 10 minutes of this game,
22:08and he broke his ankle.
22:10And the other bus driver, we put him on,
22:13he broke his ankle.
22:14The bus, we came all the way back from Berlin
22:16with two drivers with a broken ankle each other.
22:22I went to places we did like that,
22:24I'd never have been to,
22:25unless I'd been with it like that.
22:27We went to Canada,
22:28and we played three games in a week.
22:30We were in Brazil, Hong Kong,
22:34South Africa, Croatia, Spain, Gibraltar.
22:37Amazing.
22:39Do you remember when we went up to Mull?
22:41Jim Baxter was like a god up there,
22:43a big crowd turned out to watch this game,
22:45and everybody's going,
22:46ah, it's Jim Baxter.
22:48About 10 seconds into the game,
22:49goes to sit in the ball,
22:51falls off the ball,
22:53strains some,
22:54and he's stretchered off.
23:01All the junior clubs that we played,
23:03they took it absolutely seriously.
23:06But we never lost them.
23:07The boys just used to up it in the second half.
23:11It's really outstanding.
23:13I watched that,
23:14I just feel,
23:14I really miss it.
23:16I had envisaged that,
23:17after we're long gone,
23:19you know,
23:20decades,
23:21100 years from now,
23:22there would still be a Duke with a Pompers,
23:24and I was a complete passenger.
23:26But I loved it.
23:27It was great.
23:28Johnny and I have been involved in the world of comedy
23:30for a long, long time.
23:32The comedy that was on our team
23:33was equal to anything we'd ever done.
23:36I know,
23:36it's great.
23:37Just players getting together,
23:38and they were hysterical.
23:40It's still a wonder to me,
23:42yet,
23:43that I've got so many friends
23:44who I only ever saw as heroes.
23:46It was just so outlandish.
23:49It was fabulous.
23:58On Sunday afternoon,
24:00Dundee will take on
24:01Dundee United
24:02at Dens Park.
24:03There is plenty at stake here,
24:05with both teams
24:06trying to put as much distance
24:07between themselves
24:08in the relegation playoff place
24:10as possible.
24:11And it is the must-watch match
24:13in Scotland this weekend,
24:14because everybody knows
24:16the Dundee Derby
24:17is the best fixture
24:18in the country.
24:19It's a point of viewing,
24:20just because there is
24:21always so much fun
24:23to be had
24:24when these two sides meet.
24:25I think if you were to introduce
24:26someone to Scottish football,
24:27I think the Dundee Derby
24:28would be the game.
24:29Hey, check this out.
24:30This is a great example
24:31of how much fun
24:32Scottish football can be.
24:33And I think what makes this unique,
24:34it's not just how much fun it is,
24:36it's the fact
24:37that Paradise
24:38and Dens Park
24:39are within
24:40touching distance
24:41of one another.
24:42And I think it's perhaps
24:42best summed up
24:43by a video clip
24:44from Danny Dyer's
24:46Real Football Factories
24:47from Bravo TV
24:48in 2006,
24:49where the close proximity
24:51of the grounds
24:52to one another
24:52really warps
24:53his little mind.
24:55So I've found me
24:56a way to Tanadise Street,
24:58yeah,
24:59which is home
24:59to Dundee United,
25:02there,
25:03yeah.
25:03Now, you ain't gonna believe this.
25:05And there's Dundee.
25:08Now,
25:09that is,
25:10I've never seen
25:11anything like that
25:11before in my life.
25:12They're so close,
25:13it's ridiculous.
25:15I mean,
25:15I can't get me nut around it.
25:16I mean,
25:17it's amazing.
25:18Danny Dyer
25:18can't get his nut around it.
25:20What a perfect expression.
25:21Some of the fact
25:22that two stadiums
25:23are built
25:23quite close to one another.
25:25You know
25:25that they're very close
25:26to each other,
25:27you hear about it
25:28all the time,
25:28but then when you actually
25:29see it,
25:30you still think,
25:30ah,
25:30that's really cool.
25:31But Danny Dyer's speaking
25:32that they've maybe
25:32just been built there.
25:35It's sheer bewilder,
25:36man.
25:36It's the way he goes
25:36to the camera
25:37and makes the camera
25:39be able to just
25:40turn on the spotlight.
25:41That's why you're there.
25:42It's like the double checks.
25:43Are you actually
25:44seeing me something?
25:45Dens Park.
25:45And because there is
25:47such a close proximity
25:48between the teams,
25:49it makes that extra special
25:51when you get
25:51one up your opponents.
25:53And I think
25:53the best example
25:54we've seen that
25:55in recent times
25:55is, of course,
25:57the Dundee derby
25:57of May 2016
25:59where Dundee
26:01relegated United
26:02at Dens Park
26:03courtesy of
26:04Craig Whiten's
26:0590th Minute winner.
26:07What makes this
26:08even more special
26:09for Dundee
26:10is this is essentially
26:12their cup win
26:13because they've been
26:14so unsuccessful
26:15for so long
26:16that this was,
26:17they have,
26:18Dundee fans
26:18of a certain generation
26:20have witnessed
26:21Dundee United
26:22winning the league
26:22at Dens Park.
26:24Dundee United
26:24winning a trophy
26:25by beating Dundee
26:27at Dens Park.
26:28So Dundee United
26:29have had a lot of success
26:30at Dundee.
26:30This is like,
26:31this was like,
26:31this was a revenge almost.
26:33The satisfaction
26:34that Dundee fans
26:35must have had at this
26:35where you have
26:36humiliated your opponents
26:37in your own back garden.
26:39Grown men
26:40reduced to tears,
26:41solemnly holding
26:42their flags
26:43above their head.
26:44What a feeling.
26:45Absolutely brilliant.
26:45And I think
26:46the noise at Dens Park,
26:47like that must have
26:48registered on the Richter scale
26:49just by excitement
26:50and the noise.
26:51And of course
26:51we have this fantastic image
26:52of a coffin
26:53being carried
26:54down the street.
26:55Yes,
26:55the coffin.
26:56Because the coffin
26:57is something you usually
26:57kind of see
26:58in like South American football.
27:00And the fact
27:01that there's a bit,
27:01there's bits blurred
27:02out of the coffin
27:03just makes me think
27:04what is written on there
27:06that can't be shown.
27:07So yeah,
27:08very funny.
27:09The closest that I think
27:10Dundee United have had
27:11to avenging this
27:12came at the start
27:12of the 2024-25 season
27:14where they played Dundee
27:16on the opening day
27:17of the season.
27:18It was their flag day
27:18and the Dundee players
27:20had to give a guard of honour
27:21as the United players,
27:22the championship champions
27:24came onto the park
27:25to get their flag unveiled.
27:26As a fan,
27:27how bad would it feel
27:28to have to clap
27:29your rivals
27:30onto the pitch?
27:32Mortifying.
27:33I'm not doing that.
27:34I would either
27:34turn up to boo
27:35or just not go
27:38for the start of this.
27:38Just go home.
27:39It's only up the road.
27:40No, that actually
27:41was a great game.
27:41That was the first derby
27:42and in a couple of years
27:43because of that
27:44ships passing
27:45in the night sort of thing.
27:46Dundee coming up,
27:47United going down.
27:48But the moment
27:49that I actually remember
27:50some brilliant
27:51last-ditch defending
27:52from Lyle Cameron
27:53who then just goes
27:54like pure Sunday pub league
27:56because there's
27:56a wee mic in the net
27:57and he just goes
27:58why is no-one back?
28:02Why is no-one back?
28:05The press of the derby
28:06didn't get to Lyle Cameron
28:07but it has got to
28:09some people in the past
28:10and I think
28:10it's really bad
28:12for goalkeepers this.
28:14Particularly goalkeepers
28:15who are making
28:16their debuts
28:16and there's goalkeepers
28:17for either side,
28:18both Dundee and
28:19Dundee United
28:19who have had absolute
28:20nightmares in this competition.
28:22Arvid Schenk.
28:23Arvid Schenk.
28:24Yes, Joel,
28:25remind us who
28:26Arvid Schenk is.
28:26He was the German
28:28goalkeeper who was
28:29brought in on a
28:30free transfer
28:31and he was
28:33thrusted into
28:34a derby
28:35at Tannadice
28:36on New Year's Day.
28:38Went on to concede
28:39six goals.
28:39United win a 6-2.
28:40Gary McKay-Steven,
28:42Stuart Armstrong,
28:42Gary Otrecht,
28:43you were all playing.
28:44It was a good
28:45Dundee United team.
28:45Good Dundee United team.
28:47Wasn't that good,
28:47was he?
28:48I mean,
28:48he was unlucky
28:49with some of them.
28:50A couple of them
28:50took deflections
28:51on their way into the net
28:52but I think the fifth
28:53and sixth goals
28:53especially,
28:54he didn't look
28:55particularly clever there.
28:56We never saw
28:57from Schenk again
28:57because that was
28:58the only time
28:58he played for Dundee.
28:59He was let go
29:00at the club
29:00at the end of the season
29:03and went to play
29:03lower league football
29:04in Germany
29:05and then subsequently
29:05retired.
29:06One thing that Schenk
29:07can look back on
29:08is that the fixture
29:09swallowed up goalkeepers
29:10with a better pedigree.
29:12Oh yeah,
29:12perhaps the greatest
29:12example of that
29:13was actually just
29:1412 months later.
29:15IG Kawashima,
29:16the Japanese international,
29:17he had 70 odd caps
29:19for Japan
29:19when he pitched up
29:20in Tannadice.
29:21He is thrust
29:22into a Dundee derby
29:24and basically
29:24very early doors.
29:26He comes to punch,
29:26whiffs it,
29:27Kane Hemming scores,
29:28Dundee United
29:29lose that match 2-1
29:30and that was
29:31then on the trajectory
29:32towards
29:32relegation
29:33which we've already
29:35discussed.
29:36But the Derby
29:37can do funny things
29:37to people
29:38and while it is
29:38generally played
29:39in good spirits
29:40given the proximity
29:41with friends,
29:42family and neighbours
29:42and so on,
29:43there are some people
29:44who can lose
29:44the run of themselves.
29:45A great example
29:46from that is
29:47from 2022
29:48when Charlie Mulgrew
29:49bit back at
29:50Mark McGee
29:51after he was accused
29:52of fluking
29:53his free kick
29:54into the net
29:55in a 2-2 draw.
29:56I was speaking to
29:57Mark McGee,
29:58he said your goal
29:59was luck,
29:59he felt it was a cross.
30:00Did he,
30:01aye.
30:02Raging,
30:03isn't he?
30:05Fuming.
30:06That sounds
30:07better,
30:08that.
30:09It's one of my
30:10favourite Scottish
30:10football clips
30:11actually and it is
30:12recycled all the
30:12time and for
30:13very good reason.
30:14It's just magic
30:16and they worked
30:16together,
30:17didn't they,
30:17Mark McGee
30:17and Charlie
30:18Mulgrew,
30:18they were at
30:18Aberdeen
30:19together.
30:19That's right,
30:19yeah.
30:20So there's a
30:20little,
30:21there's another
30:22little dig in
30:22there as well.
30:23It's great just
30:24the way that
30:24Kenny McIntyre,
30:26the BBC
30:26sport journalist,
30:27is interviewing
30:27and talking
30:28about that
30:28McGee says
30:29you didn't
30:29mean your
30:30free kick.
30:31Sounds bitter
30:32that.
30:33Raging isn't he?
30:34And the fact
30:34that's now
30:34become a meme
30:35that people
30:36don't actually
30:37know the
30:37original context
30:38of that picture
30:39of Charlie
30:39Mulgrew going
30:39raging.
30:40I do think
30:41it comes back
30:41to the Dundee
30:42Derby aspect
30:43of it just
30:43being fun
30:44and like
30:45light hearted
30:46and not overly
30:47saying,
30:47people are not
30:48getting too
30:48angry,
30:49guys are too
30:50angry about
30:50it,
30:50it's just fun.
30:52It's a great
30:53free kick.
30:53Yeah.
30:54But it's not
30:54the best goal
30:55we've seen
30:55in a Dundee
30:56Derby.
30:56If you had to
30:57pick Juanjo,
30:58what do you
30:58think has been
30:58the zenith
31:00of quality goals
31:01in this fixture?
31:02For me it has
31:02to be Georgie
31:03Nimzadzi.
31:04What a name,
31:05what a name.
31:05What a name,
31:06but let me paint
31:07the picture
31:07because some
31:08of the names
31:08I'm about to
31:09say,
31:09Barry Smith
31:10starts the
31:10attack,
31:11he passes
31:11to Javier
31:12Artero,
31:12Javier Artero
31:13finds Claudio
31:14Canidia and
31:15then Claudio
31:16Canidia plays
31:17not the greatest
31:18pass into the
31:18path of Georgie
31:20Nimzadzi who
31:20has to kind of
31:21get out from
31:22under his feet
31:22but when he
31:23does,
31:23oh my word,
31:24scoop,
31:25loft,
31:25dink,
31:26chip,
31:26whatever you
31:26want to call
31:27it,
31:27he just puts
31:28the ball over
31:29the keeper
31:29and at the
31:30back of the
31:30net is delicious
31:31and it's just
31:32the combination
31:33of it being
31:34an aesthetically
31:35pleasing goal
31:36but the names
31:37are involved.
31:37That's a bizarre
31:39time in the
31:39history of Dundee,
31:40the fact that
31:40Claudio Canidia,
31:41Claudio Canidia
31:42was playing in
31:43Dundee but
31:44if there was
31:45one moment
31:46that sums up
31:47the Dundee
31:48derby,
31:48if you had to
31:48pick one moment
31:49from the annals
31:50of history,
31:51what would you
31:51go for?
31:52It's actually a
31:52really recent
31:53moment and it
31:54has to be
31:54Simon Murray
31:55scoring at
31:56Tanadice and
31:56then turning into
31:57Emmanuel
31:57Adebayor to
31:58celebrate in
32:00front of the
32:00United fans at
32:01Tanadice,
32:02running the
32:02full length of
32:03the pitch and
32:04he turns into
32:04every single one
32:05of us who
32:06dreamed of
32:06scoring a
32:07derby goal
32:08against our
32:08rivals as a
32:09kid.
32:09He is lapping
32:10up the moment
32:11isn't he?
32:11He is
32:12channeling his
32:12inner child,
32:13you kind of buy
32:14that sort of
32:14stuff and he
32:15milked the
32:16moment.
32:16The BBC
32:17cameras that
32:17capture are
32:18fantastic,
32:18but even better
32:19there's someone
32:20filming it in
32:21the ground and
32:21they get all the
32:22limbs, they get
32:23everyone jumping
32:24about, they get
32:24the noise, but
32:26they capture
32:27Simon Murray running
32:28the full length of
32:29Tanadice to slide
32:30on his knees in
32:31front of the
32:31Jerry Kerr
32:32stand, it's
32:32an absolutely
32:33fantastic moment.
32:34I was in the
32:35Jerry Kerr
32:35stand for that
32:36match, I have
32:36been to this
32:37fixture once and
32:38for that match,
32:39Dundee United 2,
32:40Dundee 4, perfect
32:41fixture to go to, it
32:42was noisy, it was
32:44colourful, it was
32:44something I have
32:45never experienced at
32:46the football before and
32:48I'd say it's perhaps
32:49one of the best games
32:50of football I have
32:51ever been to in my
32:52life and I'm hoping
32:53for more of the same
32:54on Sunday.
32:56Now the Dundee
32:57Derby isn't the only
32:58big game taking place
32:59in Scottish football
33:00this weekend, there
33:01is plenty to look
33:02forward to elsewhere.
33:04There are games that
33:04everyone is talking
33:05about, there are
33:06games that everyone
33:06should be talking
33:07about and there are
33:08games where you can
33:09just get away from
33:10it all, have a
33:10superb day out and
33:11enjoy the football.
33:13Come to yourself
33:13first Joel, what is
33:14the game everyone is
33:15talking about?
33:16Motherwell going to
33:17Celtic Park on
33:18Saturday.
33:19Now it's not as big
33:20a game as it could
33:21have been, Motherwell
33:22lost to Dundee at the
33:24weekend, just when you
33:25thought if they had
33:25won that, they'd go to
33:26Celtic Park and they
33:27could really put
33:28themselves in the
33:28title conversation,
33:30however it's still a
33:31big game because
33:32Celtic coming off the
33:34back of defeating
33:35Rangers on penalties
33:36despite not having a
33:37shot on target all
33:38game across 120
33:39minutes, but Motherwell
33:41is still there, they're
33:42very much in the
33:42conversation to finish
33:44above Celtic and
33:44Rangers and the way
33:46that Motherwell have
33:46been playing, you do
33:47fancy them going to
33:48Celtic and making it
33:49very difficult for
33:50Celtic.
33:51There's a slight bit
33:51of me that thinks
33:52this is going to suit
33:53Motherwell again even
33:54more because it was
33:55almost that they were
33:56getting talked to as
33:57the fourth horse in
33:58this race, now that
33:59they're no longer
34:00involved in the
34:01conversation maybe for
34:02a week, it suits them
34:03again and they can
34:03just kind of be the
34:04disruptors because
34:05they're still having
34:06one hell of a season
34:07and I think you're
34:08right that they are
34:09maybe not going to
34:10win it but they are
34:11definitely going to have
34:11a huge say in where
34:12the final destination of
34:14it is.
34:14They are and my view is
34:15that their part in this
34:16title race will decide
34:17how many points Hearts
34:18won the league by but
34:19it's a massive game for
34:21Celtic because all the
34:23pressure is on Celtic
34:23because they need to
34:24keep winning to have
34:26any chance of winning
34:26the league and it's
34:27also an opportunity
34:28for them to win
34:29before Hearts play
34:30at 8 o'clock on a
34:31Saturday night away
34:32at Kilmarnock that
34:33they can put a wee bit
34:34of pressure and go
34:35within two points of
34:36Hearts.
34:36Maybe it's a slight
34:38time, a psychological
34:40shift on Hearts but
34:41I actually don't really
34:42buy into that at all.
34:43Mentality Monsters.
34:45Scope prediction from
34:46you?
34:48Oh, Celtic 3-1.
34:50Oh.
34:501-1.
34:51Fair play.
34:52Now Amy Canavan,
34:53what is the game that
34:53everyone should be
34:54talking about?
34:55I think we should be
34:56talking about another
34:57derby involving
34:58Dunfermline Athletic.
34:59We've already discussed
35:00their Falkirk derby or
35:01Falkirk rivalry.
35:02The real Fife derby
35:04this time though.
35:05Dunfermline Athletic
35:06against Wraith Rovers.
35:07This is going to be a
35:08really interesting contest
35:09because we've got
35:10Dunfermline Athletic who
35:11have come into this
35:11contest three wins on
35:13the bounce against
35:14the Wraith Rovers team
35:15who have kind of
35:15flatlining and could
35:17actually be sucked into
35:18the nonsense at the
35:19bottom of the table.
35:19I think that they
35:20didn't even play during
35:21the week and I think
35:22that was a massive
35:22result during the week
35:23for Queen's Park
35:24defeating Air United.
35:25Yeah.
35:26Queen's Park are now
35:26above Wraith Rovers.
35:27I think there's always been
35:28that three, four teams
35:30below Wraith Rovers.
35:31That pack is getting
35:32smaller and smaller.
35:33There's fewer teams.
35:35Airdrie are on the up.
35:36Ross County are at least
35:38a little bit more on the
35:39up than they initially
35:39were.
35:40They were very,
35:40very, very down.
35:41Green and Morton,
35:42OK, they're probably
35:43level with Wraith Rovers
35:44but my goodness,
35:45Wraith Rovers,
35:46they cannot stop
35:48conceding.
35:48They cannot score goals.
35:50It's a really,
35:50really bad mix.
35:51They lost to Dunfermline
35:54in Clare Coddy
35:54for the first time
35:55in nine years
35:55the last time now.
35:56It just seems that
35:57everything has fallen
35:58in Dunfermline's favour
35:59right now.
35:59I still don't think
36:00they are as great
36:01as maybe the chat
36:02has been after
36:03the Aberdeen win
36:04but I just think
36:05this could be like
36:06a real nail in the
36:07coffin for Dukie Emery's
36:08side.
36:08The big sticky thing
36:09though for Dunfermline
36:10Athletic is after
36:11getting that huge result
36:12against Aberdeen
36:12the previous week
36:13it does feel a wee bit
36:14after the Lord Mayor's
36:15show.
36:16Do you think they
36:16might struggle in this
36:17one given the fact
36:18they put so much
36:19into that match
36:19seven days ago?
36:20They're going to get
36:21up for the front.
36:21I thought this would
36:22be the perfect fixture
36:23because maybe if they
36:24were like a way to
36:25Airdrie or like
36:26hoping to do
36:26McMotron then maybe
36:27that's the case
36:28but it's a five derby
36:29and they'll be
36:30riding this momentum
36:32this confidence
36:32going into it
36:33and if it was
36:34Rafe Rovers
36:34I'd be like
36:35I'm a wee bit
36:35worried about this
36:36fixture because
36:37the Championship
36:37at the moment
36:38is mental
36:39and it could be
36:40anyone that gets
36:40dragged in
36:41and gets relegated
36:42and the way
36:42Rafe Rovers are
36:43trained in
36:44it's not in a good
36:45direction.
36:45We talk about
36:46the Championship
36:46every single season
36:47and how tight it is
36:48I think because
36:49what's going on
36:49in the Premiership
36:50nobody's really
36:50giving us what
36:51tries to the
36:52Championship.
36:53Score prediction
36:53from you Joel?
36:5531
36:55parcel
36:573-0
36:57parcel
36:58Fair play to you.
36:59Joel you have
37:00given us the game
37:01that everyone's
37:01talking about
37:02Amy you have
37:03given us the game
37:03everyone should be
37:04talking about
37:05but I am one of you
37:06I am a fan
37:07and I am going to
37:07give you the best
37:08away day in the
37:09country
37:09it's at Galabank
37:10where Anan Athletic
37:12are taking on
37:12Edinburgh City.
37:14Now there is a lot
37:14at stake in this
37:16match however
37:16it's not so much
37:17about the game of
37:18football it's all
37:19about the experience
37:20of going to
37:20for my money
37:21the best away day
37:22in Scotland.
37:23I've been once
37:24very very much
37:25enjoyed it
37:26it was a great
37:28place getting the
37:28train down
37:29and then you've
37:29obviously got the
37:30social club at the
37:30ground.
37:31I do remember
37:32having a walkthrough
37:32of someone's game
37:33game of five asides
37:33to get round to
37:34the away end
37:36but I don't know
37:36if that's been
37:37changed now.
37:38Joe putting your
37:39stroll issues to
37:40one side
37:40listen Anan Athletic
37:42is a perfect
37:42way to use it.
37:43You can get a
37:43train from Glasgow
37:44down to Anan
37:45it takes about
37:4590 minutes
37:46and as soon as
37:47you get off the
37:47train you're in
37:48very short
37:48walking distance
37:49to the social
37:50club at the
37:50ground there.
37:51I think what
37:51makes Anan so
37:52good is you get
37:53such a warm
37:54welcome there.
37:55I think this is
37:55perhaps for clubs
37:56that are a bit
37:56more remote from
37:57the centre of
37:58well you think of
37:59the likes of
37:59Peter Hedge,
37:59Junrar, Elgin,
38:00Anan.
38:01I think they
38:01maybe have to
38:02up their game
38:03a little bit to
38:04encourage people
38:04to go down and
38:05see them and
38:05Anan do that
38:06perfectly.
38:07It's a perfect
38:08lower league
38:09ground in terms
38:10of the viewing
38:11points and just
38:12how everything's
38:13set up.
38:13Listen you finish
38:14your pinting at
38:152.59 you can
38:16be in for kickoff
38:17for 3 o'clock
38:18it's pretty much
38:18like a step
38:19into the ground
38:20and on top of
38:21that you've
38:21touched on you've
38:21got the cover
38:22terracing one end
38:23a nice little
38:24grandstand that
38:24runs along the
38:25ground and for me
38:26my favourite part
38:27of the whole
38:27ground the uncover
38:28terracing at the
38:28far end.
38:29I've been lucky
38:30enough to see my
38:30team score some
38:31absolutely amazing
38:32goals, I've had
38:32some fantastic
38:33moments, watched
38:34the game, it's
38:35going to be a
38:35really good game
38:35of football between
38:36two teams, I've
38:37had some pretty
38:37interesting contests
38:38this season and
38:40then at full time
38:40you basically do
38:41the trip in
38:42reverse back to
38:42the social club
38:43back in the
38:44train so we'd
38:45100% recommend
38:46checking out
38:47Anan Athletic
38:48100% checking out
38:49Gallabank.
38:50I think that will
38:51do us but before
38:53we head off I
38:54would like to ask
38:54the two of you to
38:55take me on at a
38:56game known as
38:57the banker
38:58yes it's a very
39:01simple concept but
39:02if you don't know
39:02how it works I'll
39:03explain the rules to
39:04you one more time
39:05it's me versus the
39:06Poddington Peas
39:07every week we guess
39:09the outcome of
39:09Scottish football
39:10matches and we
39:11get points for
39:12every correct
39:12prediction we make
39:14this week just like
39:15every other week
39:16we are gunning for
39:17the Eamon Brophy
39:19Lone Wolf Trophy
39:20wow wow wow
39:22and after last week
39:24the league table
39:25looks a little bit
39:26like this
39:27you're sure
39:27McGowan correctly
39:28predicted that
39:28Alloa Athletic
39:29would beat
39:30Celtic Harters
39:31but thanks to
39:32victories for
39:32East Kilbride and
39:33Edinburgh City
39:34I have further
39:35increased my lead
39:36at the top of the
39:37table
39:38it is now 12
39:39points to 8
39:41and this week's
39:42stipulation is
39:43I'm blue
39:44dabba dee
39:45dabba da
39:46hmm
39:46you can only pick
39:48a team whose
39:48predominant home
39:49colour is blue
39:50why I don't know
39:52but that's what it
39:52says in the card
39:53so that's what we're
39:54going to have to go
39:54for
39:55Amy Canavan
39:56give us your pick
39:57there
39:57I will go into
39:59League One
39:59and I will go
40:00Inverness Cali Thistle
40:01to beat Cove
40:02Rangers
40:03makes a lot of
40:04sense
40:04shows you're
40:05working
40:05top of the
40:07table
40:07going for the
40:08league title
40:08haven't conceded
40:10the Gold Cove
40:10Rangers this
40:11season
40:12three points
40:13for Inverness
40:14and a point
40:15for us
40:16we could do
40:17the three points
40:18it does make
40:19sense
40:19Inverness Cali
40:20Thistle
40:20really good
40:21win against
40:21Montrose
40:22last week
40:22but Cove
40:22Rangers did
40:23beat Peterhead
40:24does it bother
40:25me
40:25for my first
40:26pick I am
40:27going into
40:27the Scottish
40:28Premiership
40:28I am going
40:29to Patoggi
40:29where Aberdeen
40:30are taking on
40:31the navy blue
40:31of Falkirk
40:32and I am
40:33backing the
40:34Bairns for
40:35this one
40:35it's very simple
40:36you've got two
40:36clubs trending in
40:37very different
40:38directions
40:38you've got
40:39Aberdeen
40:39who are really
40:40looking over
40:41their shoulders
40:41at the moment
40:42not playing
40:42well at all
40:43and you've got
40:44Falkirk who
40:44could be playing
40:45European football
40:45next season
40:46they have been
40:46the surprise
40:47package of
40:48the Premiership
40:49this campaign
40:49even to a
40:50greater extent
40:50than Motherwell
40:51in some
40:52aspects
40:52but they've
40:53won at
40:53Patoggi last
40:54time
40:54they're going
40:55to do again
40:55here
40:55straightforward
40:56one for
40:56Falkirk
40:57one more point
40:58coming my
40:58way
40:59Joe
40:59what's
41:00your pick
41:00I am
41:01relatively
41:02confident
41:02that
41:03St
41:03Johnston
41:03will
41:04defeat
41:04Ross
41:04County
41:05in
41:05Scottish
41:06Championship
41:06St
41:07Johnston
41:07are going
41:08for the
41:09championship
41:09title
41:10Ross
41:10County
41:11have
41:11been
41:12better
41:12but
41:13they're
41:13still
41:13inconsistent
41:14they've
41:15been better
41:15than they were
41:16before
41:16it wasn't
41:16hard
41:17but they're
41:17still a
41:18wee bit
41:18inconsistent
41:19and it's
41:19getting to
41:20that stage
41:20of the season
41:21where St
41:21Johnston
41:22maybe haven't
41:22been perfect
41:23but to be
41:24champions
41:24you need to
41:25win games
41:25especially
41:26games
41:26like this
41:27where you're
41:27playing a
41:28team in
41:29a relegation
41:29battle
41:29that could
41:30be the
41:30set for
41:3175%
41:32off the
41:32championship
41:33this season
41:33so yes
41:35St
41:35Johnston
41:35I think
41:37the games
41:37between the
41:38two have
41:38been tight
41:39this season
41:39but I think
41:40I would
41:41fancy St
41:41Johnston
41:41Ross County
41:42got the
41:42two red
41:42cards
41:43against
41:43Arbro
