00:00...way for Chesnikov, and Hearts have a big half ahead of them here, haven't quite been themselves, haven't been allowed
00:09to be themselves, because Kilmarnock have performed brilliantly so far.
00:13Yeah they have, not surprised there's been a change, Bragg will go straight through the middle, Chesnikov off the right,
00:19and I think Kaziridis is far better on this left hand side, to go and really cut inside, get shots
00:25away, be creative.
00:27Kermarnock, outstanding in the first half, can they maintain it, can they keep it up for the second?
00:37Mark Leonard, clear foul on Kiltie.
00:43Yeah he's been excellent, like Kiltie, not only for the cross for the goal, but doing a draw on Mark
00:49Leonard, stopping him from dictating the play, and also playing off him.
00:55Left Kilmarnock when they were relegated, four years at St Mirren, came back last summer, it's Paul Wurth to send
01:02this one in though.
01:10What will have to do from Paul Wurth to prevent Chesnikov breaking away?
01:17Anywhere will do for Paul Wurth, that's a lot to think about, at half time, made the change, sent his
01:24team out early, looking for a response this second half.
01:31There will be a lot of nervous hearts, hands around at the moment.
01:36They need to do better, with their lead at the top, down to just a couple of points.
01:47They will be in, but they've watched this team all season, and they've shown, they've got quality, they've also got
01:53plenty of character.
01:54So they'll be expecting a better performance this second half, the Nairs won't kick in just yet.
02:01Another foul, Chesnikov.
02:05And Paul Wurth.
02:12Curtis looking to get to this.
02:15Nearly did.
02:22He's been positive from the off tonight.
02:24Right, yeah he has, with a great early spell in the game, and they just didn't feed him the ball.
02:31Come alive again towards the end of the half.
02:39It's going nowhere from McIntyre.
02:48Goodies, picked out Tish Bowler.
02:53Kielty.
02:58Brandon.
03:02Paul Wurth.
03:03What a lovely cross in.
03:05Curtis didn't really get much of a connection.
03:08Oh, it's a great ball.
03:09William Paul Wurth, first time cross, look like Brandon was going to put it in.
03:13He goes back the way, and it's into a great area.
03:16I think Curtis has spoken about how good he's been.
03:18Just doesn't get the contact he's looking for.
03:21If he does, great opportunity for Kamala to double the lead.
03:26Spittle floating that towards Chesnikov, who gets the throw.
03:37Halkett.
03:38Halkett.
03:43Hugal.
03:44Moved in on the cart.
03:47Joe Hugal.
03:52Brandon goes past him.
03:54Holworth.
03:58Kielty.
03:59Having a goal, but it just swelled wide.
04:02That's excellent from Hugo.
04:03Initially, I thought he could get onto the cross field pass, cut it out, but he just chases it down.
04:07And then it's that patient play, never trouble and swallow.
04:10It's the patience from Commander to create the opening.
04:13End the ball.
04:16End the ball.
04:20Go.
04:21Go.
04:24Go.
04:27Go.
04:28Go.
04:28Go.
04:29Go.
04:32Go.
04:33Go.
04:34Go.
04:34Go.
04:35Go.
04:39Go.
04:53We're well beaten by Hartz here in October, 3-0, but did manage a point at Tynecastle in December.
05:00Ninonyth minute equalizer from Bruce Anderson.
05:05good kick here for Chesnikov, Hart's hoping to get on the move, Kisaridis
05:19Milne
05:26Harry Milne again, on for the return but Henry Brandon
05:34got there first, that's good defendant, you know how dangerous Harry Milne is, how easy
05:40it is to get done with the 1-2 but he's switched on Brandon, I just feel Hart's need to
05:47up the
05:49tempo and get a bit of energy into this performance, Draga wins it back, Milne
06:04Halkett now, Steinwender
06:18and this is broken kindly for Braga, now spittle, that's a routine save for Roos, yeah it is,
06:30and again, you know, commander, that's the one I'm doing, he managed to recover, spittle's
06:38in plenty of space, he'd much prefer this on his right foot although he is capable, he's
06:43left, comfortable in the end for Kilroos, sent back by Dees to Spola, McInty has won it,
07:15and the pass, not up to much, no and it looked like it was going to be that injection of
07:22pace
07:22and numbers forward there Hart's, slack pass, Curtis, Hugo
07:34that's the difference, you know, Hart's look dangerous, McInty breaking down the right hand
07:38side with slack square pass, when it comes to nothing, and okay this is comfortable for
07:43Swallow, come on, turn it into a chance, just Spola slides in, to nods of appreciation, from the
07:54Killy fans, here Milne, that's a thinker, off Jamie Brandon, can't make a foul there Jamie Brandon,
08:06it's a difficult pass, he's never getting on the end of it, but don't dive in, don't give
08:11a foul away.
08:22Hart's have only failed to score three times in the Premiership this season but they need
08:25to up their game here to increase their chances.
08:36Stine Wender, in the air from Dees, that's Polworth, Curtis,
08:47win, yes.
09:01Lachs were fine seeing a free kick there with Mark Leonard grounded but came to nothing,
09:06anyway.
09:08Just as well, because I think it was foul.
09:22Spittle
09:24Leonard
09:30I'll get now
09:35I can see he came on for the concussed Magnussen
09:41Derek McGuinness is about to make another change
09:43which will be a like-for-like
09:47with Jordi Altona
09:49coming on in place of Michael Steinbender
09:51Yeah, he's not had the best evening
09:53Steinbender, Finlay-Curtis has tied him in knots at times
09:55caused him all sorts of problems
09:58Altona
09:59or orthodox right back
10:00certainly prefers attacking him
10:03maybe make Finlay-Curtis do it
10:04they work going back their way
10:12Black in T
10:18Here's Craig Halkett
10:19who opened the scoring here back in October
10:25Ten minutes into the second half
10:35Harry Milne
10:38Leonard
10:39back to Harry Milne
10:40chance to deliver here
10:42and again
10:44that nearly
10:47took a kill
10:48Yeah, it did
10:50It's much better for Martz
10:53to pass him behind
10:54frees Harry Milne up
10:55he just can't really
10:56get that touch where he wants it to go
10:58and he keeps it alive
11:09Steinbender's game is over
11:11Jordi Altona is on
11:14he is a recognised right back
11:16but Steinbender and McAtee
11:17have been preferred to him
11:21on occasions
11:22it's his ninth appearance
11:34They have to do a shift defensively
11:36but he'll also be willing to take it forward
11:38and Finlay-Curtis do it
11:40more defending and attacking
11:46Stuart Finlay who spent so long
11:48as a Kilmarnock player
11:49among those injured
11:50with Cammy Devlin
11:52who along with Lawrence Shankton
11:53will be joining training
11:55at the start of the week to come
11:56and should figure
11:59against Dundee
12:07Altona
12:10to window
12:11arrival from
12:12Valvik
12:15in the Netherlands
12:30and his figures
12:32as an attacking threat
12:33were good
12:34in
12:35the Netherlands
12:36noticed by
12:37the analytics people
12:43Hartstein
12:43a bit of
12:44a forward thrust
12:45tonight
12:45yeah they do
12:46and I think
12:48understandably sometimes
12:49it's
12:49you know
12:50horses for courses
12:50in terms of
12:51being more defensive
12:52more solid
12:53carrying a threat
12:54in the set plays
12:55and also defensively
12:57but
12:57they've gone chasing the game
12:58now
12:58they need more attacking
12:59players on the pitch
13:02Blair Spittel
13:03Harry Milne
13:07over the head
13:09of Chesnikov
13:11but he does retrieve it
13:13Kilmarnock have a man down
13:15back it comes in
13:16Jamie Brandon
13:18holds it up for Watson
13:19to steer clear
13:48Curtis will get to this
13:57just bowler
14:07Kilty
14:08Leonard
14:09stepped in front of him
14:17I don't reckon
14:18this one of the free
14:19kick there
14:19but there were no reactions
14:20from his
14:21players
14:22particularly
14:28you can see
14:30he has a second go
14:30at that
14:32he's running on to this
14:34Braga
14:43Altanar
14:48Spittel
14:56back in T
14:57back in T
15:01it's actually going to be a free kick
15:03for the
15:03foul on Spittel
15:07take his time there
15:08David Dickinson
15:09nice and
15:10here we have reached the hour mark
15:50if we're having to deal with a second ball
15:53slight delay to proceedings
15:55Hearts could do with something
15:57happening here
16:02it's left a spittle
16:04to float it in
16:05and Claudio Braga's hitter
16:07it goes wide
16:09yeah again
16:10no surprise
16:11it's on the end of it
16:12Braga
16:13movement's good
16:15he just can't
16:16he will have been offside
16:18but he just can't get the power on it
16:19direction
16:29well
16:29can I look for a reaction from his team
16:31I have to say
16:33in terms of possession
16:34it looks like they've got it
16:35but
16:35not really troubled
16:36Kelrus and goal yet
16:38he's made changes
16:39to try and affect that
16:41Karmannert again
16:42performing well
16:44this second half
16:51Kizaridis
16:51Kizaridis
16:52spittle
16:56Milne
16:58wants to go back
16:59to Karmannertting
16:59to Machart
17:00to Machart
17:00to Machart
17:03to Machart
17:03to Machart
17:04to Machart
17:05to Machart
17:07heart
17:07are in need of a lift
17:08has sparked from somewhere
17:10to get themselves level
17:15Kizaridis
17:17Watson in the way
17:19T falls over
17:25Kamarnock
17:26going to make a change next
17:28with the returning
17:30Tom Lowry
17:32about to go on
17:33I think it might be for David Watson
17:38A bit of freshness
17:39needed for Kamarnock
17:42without causing too many
17:44problems they are in control of the ball
17:47let's see that we need to come on at work to close those gaps off
17:56Leonard
17:59advancing
18:02Chesnikov moves inside
18:04Leonard
18:06McIntee might have got on the end
18:08of that but it was defended
18:10well, Hart's had the encouragement of a corner
18:12and what a header it is as well
18:13full stretch, McIntee's right behind him
18:15with Stenger
18:17he's got Braga to contend with
18:19he defends that really well
18:20I've seen the reaction from
18:22Moshin McIntee
18:23takes it right off his head
18:33Mark Leonard to take this corner
18:38Pinched away by Roos
18:44Can't see
18:47Dale's up at the end
18:48but he really needs to catch that
18:49Kjell Roos
18:50I know there's bodies in there
18:52but catch it
18:53take the pressure off
19:01I know there's bodies in front
19:03I think they can catch that
19:09so David Watson is being replaced by Tom Lowry
19:13who makes his first appearance since he was sent off at Motherwell in January
19:19Moved north after leaving Portsmouth
19:34Neil McCann's
19:37Kilmarnock still have the advantage here
19:39Billy Dodds alongside him there
19:43Will the long throw work out
19:44one way or another
19:47That's going to be definitely caught by Kjell Roos
19:50He must have heard me
19:52That's exactly what you need
19:54I know he's not under as much pressure
19:56in that situation
19:57but
19:57it just
19:59helps to settle the team down
20:09Altanar
20:10Sharp
20:14D's sticking close to Braga
20:16Wise move
20:21Altanar
20:22Did it all right there to keep the ball
20:31Harry Milne
20:33Spittle
20:36Kisaridis
20:44Brandon all missing there
20:48Malkit
20:51Sends it back to Swallow
20:59It will be a free kick for the Nubs
21:01by
21:03McCart
21:03and Kilty
21:04Yeah I mean he's trying to let it go there
21:06David Dickinson
21:07I don't understand why
21:09There's a fill
21:10it's right in front of him
21:11Mudge in the back
21:16Outstanding
21:16Defendant
21:17from Jamie Brandon
21:18just before it
21:36So Greg Kilty
21:37to float this one in
21:42Made by Leonard
21:44Chesnikov chasing
21:49Leonard
21:49Braga
21:53Leonard
21:54certainly made up some ground
21:55now Spittle
21:58Kisaridis
22:01he's definitely not getting
22:02a penalty for that
22:05but he wasn't looking for it
22:06he knows
22:07fine well
22:09it's just a
22:11collision
22:15I can't
22:18Chesnikov looking to run onto this
22:19now Braga
22:20through the spittle
22:26and they've gone out anyway
22:27for a goal
22:33this is Kisaridis here
22:35he knows he just runs into Paul
22:38he's standing in that position
22:40I know the arm comes out
22:45straight up
22:46trying to win the ball back
22:47no claim whatsoever
22:55the final quarter of this contest
22:58what could be a significant
23:01weekend
23:06certainly been a higher tempo
23:07from Hearts
23:08they still haven't really
23:09troubled Kildas in goal
23:10but there's far more urgency
23:12in the play
23:23Spittle
23:24leapt well
23:25Braga
23:31now Harry Milne
23:36Braga took a minor knock
23:37to the face there
23:38but he's
23:38back on his feet
23:42Leonard
23:47Kisaridis now
23:50he is getting a free kick
23:51from that
23:57I thought
23:58initially
23:58I felt
24:02he is kind of moving
24:03to the back
24:03I don't understand
24:05the frustration
24:06from getting killed
24:06but
24:07being a forward
24:08in that position
24:09you make sure
24:09you get across
24:10the front
24:10of the defender
24:11it
24:12it's easier to give
24:13the fill there
24:13than not
24:19will this be the moment
24:20that Hearts
24:22have been waiting for
24:28they hope so
24:32Blair Spittle
24:34it's dissipated over there
24:36everyone
24:38yeah he's so much better
24:39than that normally
24:40Blair Spittle
24:42you see as soon as the ball
24:44goes over their heads
24:45Craig Halkett
24:46looking for that
24:46to be delivered
24:48centrally
24:49from that position there
24:50you aim for the back post
24:51you look at the Hearts
24:52players going to go
24:53and attack it
24:54they don't need to go
24:54on the end of it
24:55for it cause problems
24:58double change
24:59we'll see Rory McKenzie

30:13thinks
30:14or what
30:15his excuse

30:49challenge
30:49it's
30:50on the
30:50edge
30:51of
30:51the
30:51area
30:51it's
30:53going

30:54yellow
30:55card

31:00left
31:01hand
31:01side
31:01look at
31:02this
31:06it's
31:06just
31:06clumsy
31:07there
31:07is a
31:07tangle
31:08of
31:08legs
31:10push
31:11in the
31:11back
31:12because he's
31:13coming inside
31:13because of the
31:14covering defender
31:15that's why
31:16he's given the
31:17yellow card
31:18Craig
31:18Hockett
31:23it is being
31:24checked by

31:27VAR
31:37and they're
31:37happy
31:38with the
31:39yellow card
31:43yeah I think
31:44Curtis takes
31:45his touch
31:46inside
31:47he still needs
31:48to get
31:48down
31:48to Hockett
31:50there is a
31:50defender
31:51covering a
31:51cross
31:52whether he
31:53got on the
31:53end of the
31:53ball or not
31:54I'm not so
31:55sure
31:57to see it

34:28Braga
34:31heading
34:31towards the
34:32final ten
34:32minutes
34:33it's not

34:35better
34:36in the
34:36second
34:36half
34:37yet
34:38nothing
34:38to show
34:38for it
34:41they have
34:41been much
34:42better
34:42with the
34:42ball
34:43Kilmarnock
34:44the better
34:44side in the
34:45first half
34:45but they've
34:45been really
34:46good against
34:46the ball
34:47Kilmarnock
34:48organised
34:48forced
34:49into areas
34:50where
34:50they're
34:50happier
34:51with
34:52if
34:53they've
34:53got

35:00Nakart
35:06Lennon
35:08Mil
35:09Sabah
35:10Kajota
35:11will be
35:11coming on
35:11for Harts
35:12he can
35:12put a
35:13cross
35:13in
35:14so can
35:14Harry
35:14Mil
35:15if he
35:15gets
35:15the
35:15chance
35:29Lenard
35:3210 minutes
35:35Mcart
35:35Braga
35:37it will
35:38trickle
35:38behind
35:39for a
35:39corner
35:40or what cross it is
35:41from Jamie McCart.
35:43And Braga gets free.
35:44He just can't get the contact on it.
35:50He's disappointed because
35:51he knows he hasn't got the contact
35:53he's looking for.
35:55Harry Milne, who was a feeling
35:57something a couple of minutes ago,
35:59is going off here to be replaced
36:01by the Albanian Sabah Kajota
36:03for the cross in for Craig Halkett
36:05to win the first Edinburgh Derby of the season.
36:12Passing on a note
36:13to Craig Halkett. Had that getting on
36:15the end of this corner from Mark
36:17Leonard. It's kept alive
36:19and here is Halkett
36:24scrambled away by
36:25killing.
36:32There is a penalty check
36:33going on.
36:35As Craig Halkett
36:37distributes the new instructions.
36:39Yeah, it gives him time to read it.
36:47There's nothing much going on in there.
36:50On we go.
36:51On we play.
37:00Thompson met it.
37:13Chesnikov.
37:16And again.
37:34Marley Watkins is going to come on
37:36for Gilmanac.
37:41Tish Moeller.
37:44Curtis.
37:46He won't get a shot away.
37:48He's better than that.
37:50He does so well to create space.
37:53Finlay Curtis.
37:54He always seems to get
37:56a shot away.
37:59A little turn inside.
38:01One thought in his mind.
38:02Just trying to pass that
38:03into the far corner.
38:07going to be a double change here
38:08for Gilmanac.
38:09Jack Thompson and Marley Watkins
38:11coming on for
38:12Phil Hugal.
38:13And Finlay Curtis.
38:19Good night for Curtis.
38:22Hello from Rangers.
38:24Marley Watkins.
38:26Came on to score.
38:28Late equaliser at
38:30Dundee United
38:31after two months out.
38:34Played for Derek McInnes
38:36here and at
38:37Aberdeen.
38:41Harta running out of time.
38:48Their last three wins
38:50were 1-0.
38:51They did lose 1-0
38:52at St Mirren.
38:53They are losing 1-0
38:54at Kilmanac.
38:58Tense times
38:59but still time.
39:07here's Arenas.
39:16McEntee.
39:20Kajota over there now.
39:30This would be a
39:31significant result for
39:32Neil McCann.
39:34Especially off the back
39:35of that thumping
39:36at Forkirk.
39:41Yeah it would.
39:43And he
39:43has to be
39:44delighted in his team's
39:45performance tonight.
39:47Really strong
39:47first half performance
39:48with the ball.
39:50Caused Hearts
39:50all sorts of problems.
39:52Second half has been
39:55more about
39:56his organisation
39:57his shape.
39:59Make it difficult
40:00for Hearts.
40:02Whilst also
40:02offering something
40:03going forward
40:04spoke about
40:05finding that balance
40:06and I know
40:06there's still
40:07time to go
40:07and should never
40:08rule anything out
40:09with Hearts
40:09but he's got to be
40:10delighted with his team's
40:11performance tonight.
40:14Much of a return
40:15to Rugby Park
40:16this time
40:16for Derek McInnes.
40:20the two of them
40:21crossed paths
40:22four times when
40:23McInnes was
40:24Dundee manager
40:25and McInnes
40:27was in Aberdeen
40:27and McInnes
40:28won all four
40:28of those
40:29but
40:31it could well
40:32be a different
40:32story tonight
40:33as we enter
40:34the last five minutes.
40:36Yeah it's looking
40:37like it
40:37but
40:38as I said
40:39we cannot
40:39rule Hearts out
40:40they've shown
40:41so much character
40:42this season
40:45Braga
40:47Kisaridis
40:48Brandon
40:50will fend him off
40:51Excellent game
40:52from Brandon
40:53Excellent
41:07You look at Hearts
41:09and look for someone
41:09to step up
41:10come up with
41:11maybe a moment
41:12of magic
41:13commandments
41:14but that
41:16concentration
41:17they will be tired
41:18of course they will
41:19but they have to
41:19remain switched on
41:23in their quest
41:24for a goal
41:24Elton Kavangu
41:26will be coming on
41:26for Blair Spittle
41:28although
41:30he's only scored
41:31once this season
41:32in the League Cup
41:32back in July
41:33but he
41:33did manage a flurry
41:35of goals
41:35when he arrived
41:36in the winter window
41:36last season
41:37Braga
41:43the Monarch
41:44defending
41:44for their lives
41:50he's feeling
41:51the effects
41:52of it all
41:56he's got the left leg
41:57up to get that
41:57stretched off
41:58and as he's moved
41:59his right leg
42:00started to cramp
42:01as well there
42:01to Spola
42:02and no wonder
42:03he's been everywhere
42:04he's been excellent
42:05tonight for Commander
42:07breaking up the play
42:08and also
42:09taking the ball
42:10showing that composure
42:15Frankie Kent
42:16also
42:17coming on
42:19and
42:20he's coming on
42:21for Alex Kisaridis
42:22who walks
42:23around the side
42:24of the pitch
42:25and Blair Spittle
42:27will be replaced
42:28by Elton Kavangu
42:40Kavangu
42:41who scored in a
42:42win at home
42:43to Kilmarnock
42:44last season
42:47Fela will eventually
42:50get to his feet
42:53just about
42:56Rangers are going to
42:57bring Lewis Mayo
42:58on for him
42:59in a moment
43:00Leonard's long throw
43:09Lewis Mayo
43:09coming on
43:10for Kilmarnock
43:11from the Rangers
43:12man
43:13might have got
43:14a bit mixed up
43:14there
43:15didn't think
43:16they'd be a threat
43:16for tomorrow's game
43:17here
43:21this brother
43:23isn't going to
43:24see this one out
43:24but the Kilmarnock
43:26fans show their
43:26appreciation
43:28for the man
43:28who's returned
43:29once again
43:30to Rugby Park
43:31a massive performance
43:33from Aaron
43:34to Spola
43:34tonight
43:36no wonder
43:36he's going
43:37off the camp
43:40the former
43:41Rangers man
43:42Lewis Mayo
43:42makes his return
43:44after six games
43:45out injured
43:49and another long
43:51throw is incoming
43:51from Mark Leonard
43:55Hart's looking for a
43:56break of the ball
43:57here
43:57Halkett flicks it
43:58on
43:59helped on by
44:00McCart
44:02Halkett there again
44:03McKenzie clears
44:06Altanar
44:10Kajota
44:12that's a good cross
44:13that
44:13and Kabangu
44:14sees it
44:15diverted
44:15for a corner
44:17that's a great
44:18delivery
44:19and again
44:20defended well
44:21by Kilmarnock
44:23Kabangu in there
44:24but
44:24just can't get
44:25the head on it
44:30Hart's hoping
44:31it's now
44:31for them
44:33Kajota's corner
44:33back by
44:34McCart
44:37Kilmarnock
44:38seeing away
44:38again
44:39and as it
44:40stands
44:41there will be
44:41six minutes
44:42added on
44:43at Rugby Park
44:48that's going to
44:49feel like
44:49the previous
44:5090 for
44:50Kilmarnock
44:51because this
44:51ball is going
44:52to be thrown
44:53into the box
44:54kicked into
44:54the box
44:55they're going
44:55to have to
44:55defend
44:57here it comes
44:58from Leonard
44:59again
45:01Thompson away
45:06now
45:08Watkins
45:11Altanar
45:12has got
45:13stuck in
45:13there
45:13and will
45:14get the
45:15free kick
45:15as hearts
45:17keep pushing
45:18and six
45:19more minutes
45:20is confirmed
45:23that's a great
45:24chance
45:24for Kelly
45:25great
45:25in hearts
45:26and the
45:27Watkins just
45:28can't
45:28put the ball
45:29out of his
45:29feet
45:35and Paul
45:36and Paul
45:36will be
45:37showing
45:37a yellow
45:39card
45:43out of his
45:47and he's
45:53ready to
45:53face this
45:54towards
45:54Hawkins and
45:55go
46:09David Dickinson keeping an eye on things time is not on Hart's side but there is a fair chunk
46:15added on here Chesnikov up against Lowry Leonard's got an angle to deliver now
46:24but it's cleared Kajota and that's been diverted for another corner
46:41a nail-biting night
46:46can Hart grab a point yet
46:51here it comes from Leonard
46:53away by Roos
46:57Corey McKenzie
47:02Swallow ready to send it straight back
47:07McEntee tumbles, Braga hulk it up there
47:11booted away by Brandon
47:14no suggestion that Kelroos should have caught that one
47:17he does really well to punch that away out of danger
47:23Chesnikov with a cross on by McCartt
47:26that's an easy one for Roos two minutes of the six down
47:32yes he's going to have to get a third point though
47:36so as it stands Kilmarnock will go level on points for St Mirren
47:39nine clear of Livingston who they play next
47:44meantime up the top
47:45Celtic
47:46Celtic within two points of Hart's now
47:50and Rangers of course at St Mirren tomorrow
47:54Chesnikov doesn't want to be all the way back there
47:59Paulworth in no great rush here
48:03looking to keep it in the corner
48:06he did get his cross in after all
48:08Hopkins
48:14this will do nicely
48:17for Kilmarnock
48:18yeah makes a change for the last five or ten minutes for Kilmarnock
48:24the defend crosses and
48:26long throws and chance to keep the ball up and the Hart's in
48:35the importance of shot it coming from behind a beat Motherwell highlighted here
48:39with Hart's staring at a defeat
48:51hit and hope time for Hart's
48:54this would be a
48:57very disappointing defeat for Derek McInnes at his old club
49:10I think he can be across to cover here
49:14I had to double check there that was Lewis Meele
49:16with a step over on the drive forward
49:25Colworth
49:28Lowry
49:30another free kick
49:32yeah a lot of the focus will be on the Hart's
49:35and you know their performance and failing
49:37they really put Kilmarnock under a lot of pressure
49:39but Kilmarnock have been outstanding
49:41at times on the ball
49:44they've been very very good
49:45because Hart's
49:47loads of problems
49:48off the ball against it
49:50their shape, their organisation's been excellent
49:55the ball against it
49:58the ball against it
50:03the ball against it
