01:00Rangers welcome Dundee United with Danny Rose team knowing a win would put them top of the league for the
01:04very first time this season.
01:07Rangers could summit the Premiership for the first time in two years with a win and apply some serious pressure
01:13to Hartz.
01:14United though put a huge dent in Celtic's title aspirations last time out and would relish doing the same at
01:19Ibrox where they haven't won in the league since 2011.
01:23The left back Tour Romans has picked up an injury which will keep him out for a couple of weeks
01:28so Jadon Magoma starts for the first time since February.
01:31Suter, Sterling and Skollsson replace Fernandes, Tavernier and Cermiti.
01:36United go with the same 11 in squad which defeated Celtic a fortnight ago as they look for back-to
01:40-back wins for the first time all season.
01:42The man who was on the score sheet for their last league win here, Johnny Russell, is still out.
01:50The man who was on the score of the first time.
01:51Rangers 12 unbeaten against Dundee United in the Premiership but two draws so far this season.
01:57Rangers relying on late equalisers in both.
01:59Mikey Moore coming forward, the glancing header from Naderi just drifts by the post.
02:08Ibrox roars its approval.
02:10Mikey Moore finding Naderi who couldn't quite find the bottom corner.
02:19Asgard.
02:21Weaves his way up to the edge of the box and lets rep.
02:24Oh, it's spilled by Maynard Brewer.
02:28And Ryan Naderi breaks the deadlock and has his first Premiership goal in the blue of Rangers.
02:38And it's a vital one.
02:42As Danny Rulesight look to go top of the league.
02:46But Ashley Maynard Brewer will not want to see this again.
02:50Should tip it over the bar.
02:52And it's a gift for Naderi at the back post.
02:55Good work from Asgard in the build-up.
02:57It is Rangers 1-Dundee United nil.
03:01Ibrox rejoices.
03:08Asgard.
03:09Asgard.
03:10Asgard.
03:10United don't pick up Naderi.
03:13Back to Taylor Asgard.
03:15Chips the ball in, Scov Olsen and Stirling, it's in!
03:23It's 2-0.
03:27And in the space of ten minutes, Ibrox goes from fraught to delighted.
03:34As Rangers take a firm grip of this match,
03:38United don't do enough to pick up Ryan Naderi or stop the cross from Asgard.
03:43Scott of Olsen was unmarked, and then Jovo can't keep out the diverted header from Dujon Stirling,
03:49who has his first goal of the season.
03:52Rangers 2, Dundee United 0.
03:55Cruz control.
03:57And Ibrox for the home side.
04:04Jim Goodwin will be disappointed because Dundee United have not been poor in this game by any means,
04:09but two lapses has cost them dearly.
04:14It may cost them further here as Mikey Moore dribbles forward,
04:17but it's been pinched by Chavé, and Emmanuel Aguil strides forward.
04:22Powerful running, and now he slips it to Amar Fata,
04:25goes inside, Soutar on, picks it at the bottom corner.
04:31And quick as a flash,
04:33Dundee United quiet in Ibrox, but for the pocket of their away fans.
04:43It's a lethal counter-attack, right on the stroke of half-time.
04:47Aguil at the heart of it,
04:49with his powerful run forwards,
04:51following up from his goal against Celtic last time.
04:54And Fata's composure and killer instinct
04:57is superb.
05:00And Dundee United are right back in this game.
05:04And Ibrox Stadium
05:06is a lot more nervous than it was five minutes ago.
05:09Rangers 2, Dundee United 1.
05:16The United's going into the dressing room
05:20with their tails up after that goal.
05:22But Gossama, one of the half-time subs,
05:24is coming forward,
05:25finds one of the other half-time subs,
05:26Charmiti, who is denied by Maynard Brewer,
05:29and then Karestej with a brilliant sliding tackle.
05:35Yusuf Charmiti has a penchant for the spectacular,
05:38but sometimes the simpler chances
05:41evade him.
05:45There you go, Matt.
05:48Nico Raskan, lovely reverse ball to Moore.
05:52Thugs off the chest of Maynard Brewer.
05:55Rangers desperate to re-establish
05:58their two-goal advantage.
06:00And here is Gossama.
06:02He's made a really strong impact.
06:05Good footwork from Chikwani.
06:06It's Gossama.
06:07It's Asgard!
06:10And daylight is restored for Rangers.
06:18Tello Asgard, a much-maligned presence
06:20in Ibrox this season,
06:22but he's been involved in all three goals.
06:23It's a simple finish,
06:26but he's in the right place at the right time.
06:28Gossama with the delivery.
06:31He's made a real difference
06:33since coming on at the break.
06:36Plays a crucial hand here.
06:38And it is Rangers 3, Dundee United 1.
06:47Asgard enjoyed that one,
06:48Jim Goodwin not so much.
06:52Gossama bustling away
06:53and he's got the strength.
06:55The shrug of Karestes.
06:57Blocked and Maynard Brewer
06:58has hurt himself here
06:59as he went down to try and save it.
07:01Didn't need to in the end.
07:03Dundee United may be
07:04forced into a change here in goals.
07:07Dave Richards is stripped and ready.
07:10They've not had their troubles
07:11to seek in goals this season.
07:13United, Kucherenko, Richards
07:14and Maynard Brewer
07:15all played between the sticks
07:16for Jim Goodwin.
07:21Sapsford's Raskan
07:22and Fata.
07:26Strong challenge from Sterling
07:28and now the counter-attack
07:29is on for Rangers.
07:30It's a three on one.
07:32Gossama
07:32but Cermiti
07:33inside him.
07:35He finds the number nine.
07:37He can't find
07:39the back of the net.
07:44Dave Richards
07:46with a big save
07:47and then come off the bench.
07:50Yusuf Cermiti
07:51really should
07:51wrap up the three points
07:53for Rangers here.
08:00Asgard couldn't take that
08:01in his strides.
08:04United refused to go away
08:06and that's a lovely move
08:08to find Fata
08:09who is such a threat
08:11and he slides in
08:12Lucas Stevenson
08:13and Sapsford's desperate for it
08:14and Sapsford's
08:16makes it three-two
08:18and it is game on
08:19once more.
08:24United
08:25refused to give up
08:27the ghost at Ibrox
08:29and another incisive
08:31counter
08:31tears Rangers apart
08:34and the tension
08:35returns to Ibrox
08:37once more.
08:38Rangers have had the chances
08:40to be out of sight
08:41but United keep coming
08:42and that is a brilliant goal
08:44you have to say.
08:45Fata involved again
08:47and Sapsford's
08:49with a neat finish
08:50and this sets up
08:51a fascinating
08:52final quarter.
08:58Danny Rule
08:58trying to
08:59gee up his players
09:02the crowd is nervous
09:03Cermiti's header
09:05Cheve
09:06it's Ferry
09:07curls it in
09:08it's not away yet
09:10and Jovo gets his head
09:11to it
09:12it clips the post
09:12oh my words
09:17width of the post
09:18away
09:18from an equaliser
09:22has Butlin got a touch
09:24on that
09:24not sure
09:27hearts and mouths
09:28all around Ibrox
09:30but here comes Cermiti
09:34galloping forwards
09:35he's got plenty with him
09:36including Bozjamijovski
09:41that should be that now
09:45Rangers are surely
09:46heading to the top
09:48of the Premiership
09:49for the first time
09:50in two years
09:55a statement
09:57from the men in blue
09:58the gauntlet
09:59laid down to hearts
10:01and of course
10:01Celtic on Sunday
10:03they've been made
10:04to work for it
10:05right to the end
10:06by United
10:07and a swipe
10:08of Bozjamijovski's
10:09left boot
10:11surely
10:11seals
10:12all three points
10:15it's always difficult
10:16if you lead just
10:172-0 up
10:18or a 3-1
10:19one goal
10:20and the opponent
10:21has nothing to lose
10:22and they can bring
10:22all in front
10:23but finally
10:25we managed it well
10:26a big compliment
10:27to my subs as well
10:28they helped us
10:29and this is
10:29a big part
10:30of our group
10:31we felt
10:32we had enough
10:33within the group
10:33to be a top 6 team
10:35unfortunately
10:35we've fell short
10:37we know the areas
10:38that we need to improve
10:39we've conceded
10:41far too many goals
10:41over the season
10:42and I think today
10:43three of the four goals
10:45that we've conceded
10:46today
10:46are things
10:47that we need to learn
10:49and we need to do better
10:50and we can't
10:52keep making
10:53the same mistakes
10:53so
10:55we'll build on
10:56some of the positives
10:57and we'll try and
10:59rectify some of the issues
11:00that we've had
11:00we took our three points
11:02we did our homework
11:03I don't look now
11:06until the end of the season
11:07to the opponent
11:08to all teams around
11:09just focus on ourselves
11:11if we win six games
11:12we will win the league
11:15so Rangers go top
11:17it wasn't pretty
11:18at times Michael
11:18but I suppose
11:19at this stage of the season
11:20it is all about winning
11:22no matter what
11:23well absolutely
11:25of course
11:25for Rangers to come away
11:27for the game
11:27going top of the table
11:29putting pressure on
11:30the sides
11:31that are playing
11:32tomorrow
11:32it's very much
11:33job done
11:34so
11:34as much as
11:36there was opportunities
11:37for Dundee United
11:38there today
11:38Rangers still
11:39created their own chances
11:41and managed to get the ball
11:42in the back of the net
11:42four times as well
11:43they certainly did that
11:44United
11:45didn't play too badly
11:46today
11:47in the game
11:48as a whole
11:48and were causing
11:49Rangers problems
11:50especially in behind
11:50full backs
11:51well I mean
11:52the big thing
11:53for Rangers
11:54at the moment
11:54with two Romans
11:55out for a couple
11:56of weeks
11:56they'll be hoping
11:56it's only a couple
11:57of weeks
11:57because for all
11:59the attacking prowess
12:00that Jadon Magoma
12:01can bring
12:02defensively
12:03he's not sound
12:04and you can look
12:05at these opportunities
12:06and these openings
12:06that Dundee United
12:07created
12:08and a lot of them
12:08are coming down
12:09that left hand side
12:10the right hand side
12:11for Dundee United
12:12Ferruja here
12:13Max Waters
12:14just completely misses
12:15the ball
12:15there's a really
12:16really good chance
12:17but they did this
12:18pretty well
12:18Dundee United
12:19picking up loose balls
12:20winning and countering
12:22quite well
12:22but constantly
12:24Ferruja
12:24and Waters
12:26in the middle
12:26of the box
12:28with Stevenson
12:29as well
12:29doing that right
12:30overhitting that one
12:31but it was a constant
12:32theme
12:33particularly in that
12:34first half
12:34where they won
12:35the ball
12:36countered well
12:37and with Jiga
12:38and Magoma
12:39on the left hand side
12:40it just felt like
12:41there was a little bit
12:42of an opportunity
12:42for Dundee United
12:44to perhaps get
12:44a bit more
12:45than they did
12:46it all seemed
12:48to just peter out
12:49I mean they did
12:49manage to create
12:49quite a few
12:50big big chances
12:51within the game
12:52I mean they scored
12:53two goals
12:54but they probably
12:54could have scored
12:54and should have scored
12:55more
12:56yes they could have
12:57but I mean I think
12:59irrespective of
13:00whether Dundee United
13:01could have scored more
13:03they'll be really
13:04disappointed
13:04and you heard Jim Goodwin
13:05talking about
13:06the defensive frailties
13:07and the goals
13:08that they conceded
13:08were pretty poor
13:09I mean those incidents
13:10we're looking at
13:11there
13:12they were half chances
13:13there were openings
13:14that they didn't
13:14really capitalise on
13:15but as I said
13:16from Rangers perspective
13:17on this one
13:18I think they'll really
13:19be wanting to wrap
13:20two of Romans
13:21in cotton wool
13:21because he's been
13:23a good sign in
13:24and if he's going to
13:26miss more than
13:27a couple of weeks
13:27that will be a bit
13:28of a concern
13:29I would imagine
13:29for Danny Rule
13:31Rangers did score
13:32two first half goals
13:34and as you rightly
13:35point out
13:35United's defending
13:36for both of these
13:37goals was really
13:38really poor
13:39yeah I mean it
13:40wasn't great at all
13:41it really wasn't
13:41you know when you're
13:42going to Ibrox
13:42and you're clearly
13:44going to have to
13:45soak up a bit of
13:46pressure
13:46you're going to make
13:47sure that you limit
13:49the opposition to
13:49opportunities
13:50things like this
13:51just can't happen
13:52I mean that's just
13:55it's a gift
13:56that they've given
13:56Rangers
13:57you've settled
13:58into the game
13:59you're limiting
13:59the opportunities
14:00that they're having
14:01there's a nothing
14:03sort of shot
14:03that the goalkeeper
14:04should be able
14:05to deal with
14:06and instead he
14:07flaps it right to
14:08Nadiri to tap it
14:09into the back of the
14:09net for his first
14:10league goal
14:11and this one
14:12again for me
14:13Jovo
14:13who in the first
14:15one is
14:16you know
14:17his lack of
14:18concentration
14:18he ball watches
14:19a lot
14:20he's not aware
14:21that Nadiri's
14:22in there
14:22he's late to it
14:23he then is
14:24watching this ball
14:26never aware
14:27of what really
14:27is going on
14:28around them
14:28and then drops
14:29back into
14:30what you would
14:31regard as
14:31okay you're
14:32trying to
14:32shut things off
14:33but it's all
14:33very reactive
14:34and slow
14:34and then he
14:35fumbles it
14:36into the back
14:36of the net
14:36coming off his
14:37chest
14:37it's a really
14:39really soft
14:39poor goal
14:40to lose
14:40and I'd imagine
14:41Jim Goodwin's
14:42looking at it
14:43from the sidelines
14:43feeling like
14:44they're shooting
14:45themselves in the
14:45foot
14:45because it always
14:47felt like there
14:47was an opportunity
14:48for them to get
14:48something
14:49a goal
14:50or get them
14:50in the game
14:51but there was
14:51always a two goal
14:52gap
14:53the amount of times
14:54in games
14:55look at the derby
14:56a couple of weeks
14:56ago where
14:57they have done
14:58well in games
14:58but some of the
14:59goals they lose
15:00is why they're not
15:01going to be a top
15:0216
15:02yeah well I mean
15:03again if you
15:04look at the
15:05you know he's
15:05obviously favoured
15:06that back three
15:07and at times
15:08you know Esalen
15:09started the season
15:10in the middle
15:10of the back three
15:12Jovo obviously
15:13is coming as well
15:14and I'm not
15:14convinced about
15:15either of them
15:16Krestes you've
15:17got to say
15:18at the left side
15:18the centre half
15:19I think has been
15:19a pretty good addition
15:20but they definitely
15:22need to get
15:23a stronger
15:24stable back three
15:25or whatever it is
15:26they want to play
15:27defensively
15:27and they've got to
15:28obviously
15:28the big one is
15:29sort of the goalkeeper
15:30you know they've been
15:31through three goalkeepers
15:32now
15:32Maynard Brewer's
15:33obviously picked up
15:34an injury there as well
15:35but he didn't cover
15:36himself in glory
15:37today either
15:38no he did not
15:38Asghar Miofsky
15:39making sure of it
15:40in the second half
15:41with two more goals
15:42and eventually securing
15:44all the points
15:44for Rangers
15:45yep
15:45and in the end
15:47it becomes a
15:48you know
15:48a fairly
15:49comfortable
15:49routine
15:51victory for Rangers
15:52but you know
15:53listening to the game
15:54and watching the game
15:54coming in
15:55you could get a sense
15:55that there was an
15:56element of nervousness
15:57in the crowd
15:58because
15:58every time it felt
16:00like Dungeon United
16:00were just creeping
16:01back into the game
16:03fortunately for Rangers
16:05they were able to get
16:05that next goal
16:06and just maintain
16:07that lead
16:09but plenty of
16:10bodies forward
16:11and I think this is
16:11the thing that
16:12Rangers have managed
16:13to do a lot better
16:14since January
16:15I don't think it's
16:17been through guile
16:18or great attack
16:19and play
16:19but the physicality
16:21and actually getting
16:22bodies into the box
16:24and almost by force
16:25getting a lot of
16:26these better
16:27opportunities
16:28that have managed
16:29to score more goals
16:29this is a good finish
16:31from Miofsky
16:32just closes his foot
16:33whips it back
16:34into the bottom corner
16:35it does
16:35but I don't think
16:36it changes the direction
16:37I think it just
16:37it hits the ball
16:39down into the ground
16:40Rangers have timed
16:41a run very very well
16:42I mean it puts
16:43as you mentioned earlier
16:44a lot of pressure
16:45on Hearts and Celtic

16:49in terms of
16:50the timing of
16:50putting themselves
16:51top of the league
16:52it really has worked
16:53out incredibly well
16:54for them
16:54and what a job
16:55Danny Rowell has done
16:56to close that gap
16:57yeah well he's obviously
16:58had to build up
16:59a fair bit of momentum
17:00and he's done a
17:00you know he's done a good job
17:01in that regard
17:03and yeah
17:04it's a wonderful position
17:05for them to be in

17:09the main thing for them
17:10is they've got the chance

17:16now away from home
17:17they're away against
17:18the bottom team

17:21shooting themselves
17:22on the foot
17:23agreed
17:23okay

18:40Don's debut
18:40from the bench
18:42he says nobody
18:44knows St Mirren
18:45better
18:45as the ex-boss
18:47returns to Paisley
18:53O'Hara
18:54teases the ball
18:56in the flick on
18:57drops the way

18:58Gogic with the layoff
18:59Phillips
19:00Aberdeen look to get it clear
19:03St Mirren keep it alive
19:06Phillips hoping to turn
19:07to face the penalty area
19:10he'll accept another
19:11corner kick
19:13St Mirren looking very
19:15fired up
19:16from the start of this match
19:17you'd expect nothing less
19:23high the flick on
19:25pushed away
19:26by Bratvite
19:28who had to be alert
19:30on the goal line
19:30goalkeeper may be
19:32disappointed about how
19:33easy it was
19:34for St Mirren to attack
19:36this one
19:37stopper
19:37doing his job
19:41it's out for Phillips
19:46sent over
19:47and headed behind
19:49by Morrison
19:50and he's not happy
19:52around the time
19:53St Mirren had
19:54with the ball there
19:55and were allowed
19:55to work their way
19:56into a dangerous area
20:00whipped in
20:01and the touch
20:02off the crossbar
20:04Donnelly
20:05with his hands
20:06on his head
20:08there's two there
20:09because Mandron
20:10was also just behind
20:11but it's Donnelly in front
20:12who got enough on it
20:13and he can't believe
20:15he's not on the score sheet
20:16again
20:19Phillips finds a way
20:20through
20:21Mandron
20:23stabbed away
20:24by Malloy
20:25now Shinny
20:26looks to start
20:26something for the Dons
20:28Bilalovic
20:30forcing his way
20:31forward
20:33going for goal
20:34and not far away
20:38the first real opportunity
20:40for Aberdeen
20:41strong work
20:42from
20:44Bilalovic
20:44something to encourage
20:46his manager
20:52and the whistle sounds
20:54for another St Mirren
20:55free kick
20:56Morrison in disbelief
20:59it's a late one
21:01coming through
21:01on Mandron
21:04St Mirren ready
21:07the flick on
21:08at the front
21:09Jensen
21:09hooks away
21:12and Emu
21:13stops that
21:13for now
21:14Ayunga

21:16and scores
21:18a huge goal
21:19from John Ayunga
21:21his third
21:23in the Premiership
21:24this season
21:25how important
21:27might that be
21:28nice little bit
21:29of skill
21:30opens up
21:31the space
21:31there's lots
21:32of red around
21:33but there's a clear
21:35sight through
21:36to goal
21:37for Jonah
21:38Ayunga
21:38Bratwijk
21:39couldn't reach it
21:40St Mirren
21:42strike first
21:43against the
21:43former manager
21:45St Mirren
21:46won
21:47Aberdeen
21:480
21:53Morrison feeds

21:56this is
21:57Stuart Armstrong
21:58again
21:58Guillem
21:59thinks about
22:02shooting
22:02deflection
22:03and it's
22:03missed by
22:04Olesanya
22:05the last touch
22:07off a St Mirren
22:07player
22:10Stephen Robinson
22:11he's confident
22:13as big game
22:13players will
22:14step up
22:18Lindeloo holds
22:24glides in
22:25Mandrons lay off
22:26and Lindeloo
22:27big save
22:28Bratwijk
22:31he's looking
22:32for a lift
22:32from the stands
22:34to see
22:35St Mirren
22:35through this
22:36final 10 minutes
22:38Tanzer
22:39ready to take
22:40the corner
22:41the header
22:42from Gogic
22:45that could
22:46seal it
22:47the popular
22:49figure in
22:49Paisley
22:50gives St Mirren
22:52comfort
22:52in this
22:53massive match
22:55he does it
22:56so often
22:57in the
22:57Premiership
22:58Alex Gogic
22:59he rises
23:00highest
23:02peels away
23:03from his
23:03marker
23:05and a
23:06strong header
23:06to beat
23:07Bratwijk
23:08it is a
23:09huge goal
23:11for St Mirren
23:15the
23:16buddies
23:16bouncing
23:17again
23:17St Mirren
23:192
23:19Aberdeen
23:200
23:26into
23:27Olesanya
23:28Nisbet
23:29can't even
23:31find the target
23:32and that
23:33sums up
23:34the afternoon
23:34for Aberdeen
23:35his attempt
23:36always rising
23:39and that
23:40is full
23:41time
23:42it's a
23:43dispirited
23:44return to
23:44Paisley
23:45for Stephen
23:46Robinson
23:47but St Mirren
23:48are
23:49ecstatic
23:50it finishes
23:52in Paisley
23:54St Mirren
23:552
23:55Aberdeen
23:560
23:58I thought
23:59our first
23:59half
23:59performance
24:00was excellent
24:01we were
24:02probably
24:02a wee bit
24:02disappointed
24:03that we
24:03didn't
24:04have a
24:04bigger lead
24:05coming into
24:06half time
24:07we set out
24:08a game plan
24:08all week
24:09carried it
24:09out all week
24:10and the boys
24:11did that
24:11in the first
24:12half especially
24:13the disappointing
24:14bit is that
24:15there's that
24:16little bit of
24:16anxiety
24:17of having a
24:18lead
24:18and then the
24:18second half
24:19we maybe
24:19drop off
24:19the game
24:20a little bit
24:20or aren't
24:21quite as
24:22brave in the
24:22ball
24:22so I was a
24:22wee bit
24:23frustrated
24:23with the
24:23second half
24:24performance
24:24but I
24:25thought the
24:26first half
24:26performance
24:27we probably
24:28deserved the
24:29lead and
24:29deserved to
24:30be in a
24:30good position
24:30after that
24:31point
24:31it's obviously
24:31not the
24:32result that
24:32we wanted
24:33or needed
24:34the first
24:35half
24:35performance
24:36wasn't good
24:36enough
24:37there's no
24:37hiding away
24:38from that
24:38simply wasn't
24:39good enough
24:39we got a
24:40response in
24:40the second
24:41half
24:42we created
24:43chances
24:43should have
24:43scored two
24:44or three
24:44goals from
24:44it or at
24:45least half
24:45chances from
24:46it but
24:46overall you
24:47can't start
24:48like that
24:48ultimately
24:48we've lost
24:49a two set
24:49plays
24:49it's been
24:51Achilles heel
24:51all season
24:53we don't
24:53clear the
24:53ball properly
24:54from the
24:54first free
24:55kick
24:56and the
24:56second one
24:57we conceded
24:58from a
24:58simple set
24:59play which
24:59as I said
25:01has been
25:01the problem
25:01all season
25:03a massive
25:03result for
25:04St Mirren
25:04as Stephen
25:05Robinson's
25:05return to
25:06Paisley
25:07ends in
25:07defeat
25:07what a day
25:08for Craig
25:09McLeish
25:09though
25:10Mikey
25:10young coach
25:11I know him
25:11really well
25:12excellent coach
25:13and it's great
25:14to see him
25:14being given
25:15the opportunity
25:15by the club
25:16a young
25:17Scottish coach
25:18getting to
25:18manage in
25:19the Premiership
25:20well you've
25:21got to say
25:21it's a bold
25:21decision
25:22from St Mirren
25:23because
25:23they're in
25:24the depths
25:24of a
25:25relegation
25:25battle
25:26they've
25:26lost
25:26a manager
25:27who's
25:27been hugely
25:28successful
25:28at the club
25:29and built
25:29them in a
25:29certain way
25:30clearly
25:31they've given
25:32the job
25:32to a youth
25:33team manager
25:33who is
25:34playing in
25:34a different
25:34style
25:35looks like
25:36the players
25:36are responding
25:37to it
25:37but you've
25:38got to give
25:38the club
25:39a lot of
25:39kudos
25:39for that
25:40because I
25:40think it's
25:40taken a lot
25:41of courage
25:41and conviction
25:42to give
25:43Craig the job
25:44and certainly
25:45on the
25:45evidence of
25:46today
25:47it looks
25:48like it
25:49could be
25:49paying off
25:50as we
25:51mentioned
25:51he's only
25:51had a
25:52couple of
25:52weeks
25:53as the
25:54manager
25:55are looking
25:55after the
25:55team
25:56and the
25:56impacts
25:56immediate
25:57to
25:57CR
25:57absolutely
25:59there's a
26:00couple of
26:00clips here
26:00just to show
26:01the way
26:02St Mirren
26:03are playing
26:03here
26:03they're looking
26:04to build
26:04with possession
26:05but there's
26:05a purpose
26:06to it
26:06all these
26:07balls are
26:07looking to
26:08penetrate
26:08and play
26:08forward
26:09you can see
26:09Aberdeen
26:10are trying
26:10to get up
26:10on top
26:11of St Mirren
26:11but every
26:12couple of
26:13passes
26:13there's one
26:14penetrating
26:15it's bursting
26:16through
26:16the Aberdeen
26:17team
26:18into the
26:18forward
26:19players
26:19where they're
26:20then able
26:20to go
26:21and turn
26:21and play
26:22forward
26:22they eventually
26:23work this
26:24ball into
26:24the wider
26:24area
26:25and I think
26:26it's
26:26Kellyan Phillips
26:26that ends
26:27up on it
26:27it doesn't
26:28come to
26:28anything
26:29but they've
26:29got into
26:29that final
26:30third in a
26:30controlled
26:31fashion
26:32and particularly
26:33in this
26:33first half
26:34it was a
26:34really good
26:35entertaining
26:36performance
26:36from St Mirren
26:37this one
26:38I just want
26:38to look at
26:39Donnelly
26:39he was playing
26:39right centre
26:40half of a
26:41back three
26:41but he stepped
26:42into the
26:42midfield
26:43there to get
26:43an overload
26:44he's a
26:45player that
26:45we know
26:45can play
26:46in the
26:46centre
26:46of midfield
26:46very comfortably
26:47but again
26:48it's dragging
26:49the Aberdeen
26:49players all
26:50over the
26:50place
26:50you've got
26:51Shinny and
26:51Aremu in
26:52the middle
26:52of the
26:52part
26:52you can
26:52see there
26:53they're
26:53always
26:54second best
26:54eventually
26:55they drag
26:55out one
26:56of the
26:56centre
26:56halves
26:56as well
26:57and then
26:57there's a
26:58dangerous
26:58ball
26:58going into
26:59the box
26:59so Craig
27:00McLeish
27:00was talking
27:01about how
27:01they had a
27:01game plan
27:02they'd worked
27:02on it all
27:04week and
27:04that the
27:05players had
27:05executed it
27:06really well
27:06again look at
27:07the triangles
27:08here
27:08overloads
27:09three against
27:09two
27:10you've got
27:11Campbell
27:11dropping in
27:12deep into
27:12a left
27:12back area
27:13Declan
27:14John's
27:14pushed up
27:14high but
27:15I've just
27:15highlighted
27:16O'Hara
27:16out there
27:16he's playing
27:17right wing
27:17back
27:17he's stepped
27:18in field
27:19to get that
27:20overload again
27:20you can see
27:21Shinny late
27:21to the ball
27:22Aremu chasing
27:23shadows
27:23the midfield
27:24three
27:25the rotations
27:26in the middle
27:26of the park
27:27and Ayunga
27:28unable to get
27:29the ball
27:29into the middle
27:29there but
27:30if he had
27:30it could have
27:31been a tap
27:31in for his
27:32strike partner
27:32there that was
27:33really really
27:33good play
27:34from
27:3473%
27:35possession in
27:35that first
27:36half
27:36the first
27:37goal
27:38was a bit
27:38of real
27:39quality
27:39individual
27:39quality
27:40from Ayunga
27:41lovely turn
27:42and finish
27:42yep it was
27:44obviously when
27:44you can see
27:45Ayunga highlighted
27:46here when he
27:47picks the ball
27:47up on the edge
27:48of the box
27:48nice little bit
27:49of skill
27:49and then
27:50just wraps
27:50his boot
27:51around it
27:51and plays
27:52it into
27:52the near post
27:53I still think
27:53Brad Veit
27:54the goalkeeper
27:55I'm not sure
27:56about his
27:56positioning here
27:57because as much
27:58as it's a good
27:58strike
27:59it's not right
28:00in the corner
28:00and I'd be
28:01expecting a goalkeeper
28:02to be getting
28:03I think he maybe
28:03thinks he's going
28:04to open his foot up
28:04and go to the other
28:05side and then he
28:06is late to move
28:07I would agree
28:07with you
28:08but still
28:09the factors are
28:10that it's not
28:11right in the corner
28:12and he's nowhere
28:13really near that
28:14yes it's through
28:15the defender's legs
28:15which makes it
28:16difficult again
28:17for the goalkeeper
28:17but yeah
28:18good play
28:19good goal
28:19from St Mirren
28:20they caused a lot
28:21of problems
28:21from set plays
28:23all afternoon
28:24a couple of
28:25warnings in that
28:26first half
28:26yeah well I mean
28:27this was right
28:28from the get go
28:28it was I think
28:29inside the first
28:30couple of minutes
28:30that one from
28:31the corner kick
28:32this one's a free
28:33kick again
28:33and I mean look
28:35this is something
28:36that you would
28:37have always expected
28:37from St Mirren
28:38before
28:39a little bit
28:40of invention
28:40there from
28:41the set piece
28:41as well
28:41that's a guilt
28:42edged opportunity
28:43and you wondered
28:44at that stage
28:45whether you know
28:45they were going
28:46to rue all
28:47those misses
28:48obviously
28:48you can go
28:49at the first
28:49and then
28:49laterally
28:51Goggetz
28:51getting the second
28:52here
28:52now I mean look
28:54it's a great day
28:55for St Mirren
28:55they're still right
28:56in the mix
28:58in this relegation
28:59fight for the
29:00playoff spot
29:01but you do get
29:02a sense that
29:03things are on the
29:03up at St Mirren
29:04and for Aberdeen
29:06there's serious
29:07serious concern
29:07let's talk about
29:08their performance
29:10did improve
29:10in the second
29:11taff
29:11but
29:12still didn't
29:13have a short
29:13goal
29:13this isn't
29:14something that's
29:15crept up on them
29:16is it 1-1
29:17and 16
29:18in the league
29:19did they
29:19no shots
29:20and goal
29:20it must be
29:21incredibly
29:22concerning
29:23for those
29:23Aberdeen supporters
29:24yeah I mean
29:24it's been bad
29:25but it's not
29:26quite as bad
29:27as those statistics
29:27say because
29:281-1-3
29:29draws in 13
29:30defeats
29:30is 17 games
29:31but it's not
29:32quite as bad
29:32as that
29:33it's only 12
29:34defeats
29:34that they've
29:34got in the
29:35last 16
29:37but look
29:37that record
29:38in the last
29:3816 games
29:39is half the
29:40season
29:40that's the
29:41worst in the
29:42league
29:42that's worse
29:43than Livingston's
29:43last 16 games
29:44now that is
29:46alarming
29:46and this is
29:48not you know
29:49an isolated
29:50instant
29:50just here
29:51if you look
29:52back to last
29:52season
29:53I know obviously
29:54winning the
29:55Scottish Cup
29:55was hugely
29:56important
29:56but it was
29:57such an
29:57impressive
29:57start from
29:58Jimmy Tullin
29:58but after
29:59that from
30:00October on
30:00it was a
30:01really poor
30:02run of form
30:02that Aberdeen
30:03were on as
30:03well
30:03now this
30:04season
30:05they're in
30:05real trouble
30:06for half the
30:07season to be
30:08basically bottom
30:09of the table
30:09at a time
30:11where they are
30:11in a relegation
30:12fight
30:13how does
30:13Steven Robinson
30:13go and lift
30:14those players
30:15because the
30:15confidence must
30:16be rock bottom
30:17well clearly
30:18confidence is
30:18rock bottom
30:19a new manager
30:20is coming in
30:21and I mean
30:23it's not exactly
30:24you know set the
30:25head of the light
30:26in the few games
30:26that he's had
30:27and it feels like
30:28they're going in
30:29the wrong direction
30:30quickly
30:30while the other
30:32teams that are
30:32around them
30:33feel like they've
30:34got a little bit
30:34of substance
30:35in battle
30:36and fight about
30:37them and I
30:37don't see much
30:38with Aberdeen
30:39and I'd be
30:40seriously concerned
30:41if I was
30:42connected with
30:43Aberdeen
30:43that they could
30:44well be in
30:44that playoff spot
30:45ok
30:45well Motherwell
30:47are winless
30:48in the last
30:48three games
30:49today they
30:49welcome Falkirk
30:50who can secure
30:51top six status
30:52if they avoid
30:53defeat
30:54both these sides
30:55have stuttered
30:55over the last
30:56few weeks
30:56if you judge
30:57them by the
30:58high standards
30:58that they've
30:59set
30:59but both
31:00still have
31:00chances
31:01to qualify
31:02for Europe
31:030-0
31:04the last time
31:05out against
31:05Hibs for
31:06Motherwell

31:42through
31:44Duncan
31:44Nicholson
31:45with a
31:45perfect
31:45angle
31:47and you
31:48just see
31:48the hold
31:48there
31:50Callum
31:51Ward
31:52not used
31:53to conceding
31:54goals at
31:54home
31:55just
31:57a few
31:58found their
31:58way past

32:05great ball
32:06great opening

32:09five in a row
32:10now for
32:11Barney Stewart
32:12what a season
32:13he is having
32:17and it is the
32:18perfect start for
32:19Falkirk
32:19it's all about
32:21the run
32:22combined with
32:23the delivery
32:23set perfectly
32:25in
32:26that's a great
32:27header
32:29Langella
32:33Langella
32:34as Luke
32:34Saeed
32:35offers himself
32:36it will come
32:37down the
32:37side
32:38that's when
32:38he sees in the
32:39middle
32:39that's where
32:40it goes
32:41did Henderson
32:42take him down
32:44Duncan Nicholson
32:45was in the
32:45perfect place
32:46to see it
32:47was a slip
32:48lovely little
32:49ball across
32:57comes into the
32:58box
32:58that's a
32:58great hit
33:02it's a
33:02deserved
33:03equaliser
33:03and it
33:04comes for
33:04Elliot
33:04Watts
33:06Scott Bain
33:07got his
33:07hands to
33:08it
33:08the ball
33:09simply
33:09forced its
33:11way past
33:15the header
33:16away was
33:16strong
33:17first time
33:18volley
33:20just wondering
33:20what was the
33:21vision of
33:22Scott Bain
33:22here
33:23that will
33:24likely go
33:24down
33:24as a
33:25goalkeeping
33:25mistake
33:27just
33:29was fouled
33:30allowed to
33:30continue
33:31O'Donnell's
33:31made a run
33:32but he's got a
33:32man through
33:33the middle
33:33that's a
33:34free kick
33:36Spencer
33:39the ball
33:40was played
33:41through
33:41it was
33:41Henderson
33:41who got
33:42him
33:46we'll have
33:47to wait
33:47and see
33:48this could
33:48go either
33:48way
33:49he's going
33:49to come
33:49in
33:49from
33:50just
33:50and Bain
33:52two hands
33:53this time
33:58he'll score
33:59an international
34:00football
34:01during the
34:01break
34:02denied here
34:06oh that's a
34:07terrible ball
34:08again
34:09just the way
34:10under pressure
34:11from two
34:15and that's been
34:16played on the
34:17inside
34:17Callum Ward
34:18struggling
34:18easy goal
34:21Bamburgio
34:22gets his third
34:23in Falkirk
34:24colours
34:25and
34:26Motherwell
34:27have only
34:27themselves
34:28to blame
34:30great pressing
34:32from Falkirk
34:33but Motherwell
34:34won't have to look
34:35too hard to see
34:36where all
34:36their problems
34:38came from
34:40wanted his goalkeeper
34:41that could have
34:42been a penalty
34:43in itself
34:43the referee
34:44sensibly allowed
34:45play to continue
34:47and Falkirk
34:48have restored
34:49their lead
35:05it's a long
35:06high ball
35:07if it's controlled
35:08there could be a
35:08chance for Sparrow
35:12but Motherwell
35:13who plays such neat
35:14intricate football
35:15there's nothing wrong
35:16with a long pass
35:17Sparrow brought it
35:18under control
35:19couldn't bring it
35:20down
35:25inside shared
35:26division
35:27five back-to-back
35:28seasons
35:292005 to 2010
35:32as Calvin Miller
35:33tries the chair
35:34and Ward has to
35:35knock it onto the
35:36bar
35:45beautifully done
35:46by Calvin Miller
35:53it's a penalty
35:54they saw it's been
35:55knocked over
35:57Saeed
35:58was right next to him
36:01you could see the
36:02hold
36:04and if you're going
36:04to do it
36:05don't do it right in
36:06front of the referee
36:09Falkirk's second league
36:11penalty of the season
36:12Ryan Graham scored the
36:14first
36:16Calvin Miller scores the
36:17second
36:20two out of two for
36:21penalties in the top
36:22flight this season
36:23Falkirk as they move
36:24ahead by three goals to
36:26one
36:27knew where he wanted to
36:28put it
36:29just waited to the
36:31goalkeeper
36:31it made that slight
36:33move
36:33and Calvin Miller
36:35was away to
36:36celebrate
36:46and there comes the
36:48effort
36:48from Just
36:51well he moved it
36:52forward quickly
36:53again
36:54he's only just
36:55to go
36:56the shot
36:56away
37:07Mulderwell haven't
37:08given up hope yet
37:09it's the ball into
37:10middle west and
37:10he's a great save by
37:13the goalkeeper
37:14and he digs his
37:15defence in a little
37:16hole
37:18well this is
37:19beautifully delivered
37:20teasing ball
37:21missed by Lisa
37:22that's probably his
37:23first mistake of the
37:24day
37:24and Scott Bain
37:25said don't worry
37:26you've had my back
37:27let me get yours
37:39here's the chance
37:40there was a little
37:42push
37:42but he kept his
37:44balance and finished
37:45it beautifully
37:48and Maswanhisi
37:50dispatches it low
37:51into the net
37:55played onside
37:56by Lisa
37:56kept his balance
37:58and finished
37:59beautifully
38:00Falkirk tie up
38:01a top six
38:02place
38:02what a remarkable
38:03achievement
38:04for the promoted
38:05side
38:05what a Maswanhisi
38:07late for
38:08Mulderwell
38:08but it finished
38:09Mulderwell 2
38:10Falkirk 3
38:13we certainly put on
38:14a great performance
38:15today
38:15for start to finish
38:17I was so pleased
38:18so proud of the players
38:19as much as we've been
38:19invincible and we've won
38:21the championship
38:21I think this is probably
38:23the biggest achievement
38:24greatest achievement
38:26because we've come into
38:26the top league
38:27and we've not tried to
38:29like just go in and
38:30defend and scrape
38:31for a point here and
38:31there
38:32we've been out to
38:32attack in every game
38:33we've played
38:34attacking football
38:35attractive
38:36attacking football
38:37in my opinion
38:38and we've come out
38:42in a top six position
38:43which is incredible
38:44it's very clear
38:45that Henderson
38:46wipes JT out
38:47when he gets
38:47his first touch
38:48swipes out
38:49his standing leg
38:50so that's a clear
38:51penalty
38:51and a potential
38:52red card
38:53after seven minutes
38:54we'll go 1-1
38:55and then we'll
38:56maybe play
38:5711-11
38:58or 11-10
38:59for the rest of the game
39:00and then I think
39:01the penalty
39:02against EB
39:03is very debatable
39:04I have seen
39:05situations like that
39:06many many many
39:07times
39:09where it doesn't
39:10get into penalty
39:11because no
39:11that's not enough
39:12in that
39:12and that also
39:13goes against us
39:15we have to
39:15hope
39:16and
39:18do our best
39:19to make sure
39:21that
39:22our performance
39:23are even better
39:24so we don't let
39:25these things
39:26stop us
39:27and that's what
39:28we're going to do
39:28we're not going to
39:29let things
39:30we cannot control
39:30or a defeat
39:32so we get
39:33now and then
39:34stop our ambitions
39:35or
39:36our aims
39:37for the season
39:39Congratulations to
39:40Falkirk
39:41a brilliant performance
39:42and Mikey
39:43officially a top six
39:44team now
39:44it's been a while
39:45coming
39:46Deservedly so
39:47I mean
39:49John McGlynn
39:49there talking about
39:50who they've played
39:51at attacking football
39:52in his opinion
39:53I think
39:54everybody's opinion
39:55I think everybody
39:55would agree with that
39:56that they've
39:58played very
39:58attractive
39:59good attack
40:00in football
40:01and they deserve
40:01to be in the top six
40:02and I think
40:03as the season's
40:03gone on
40:04they've progressively
40:04got better
40:05and better
40:06you know
40:06the first
40:07month or two
40:08I think
40:09the biggest
40:09takeaway for me
40:10was that
40:10defensively
40:11they were
40:11too fragile
40:12giving away
40:12too many
40:13opportunities
40:13and gift and
40:14goals to the
40:15opposition
40:15I think
40:16they've
40:17structurally
40:17got better
40:18I think
40:18the personnel
40:19has improved
40:20and the team
40:21as a whole
40:21because of that
40:22I've had a
40:23far more solid
40:24base to build on
40:25and the team
40:27has improved
40:28Barney Stewart
40:28coming in
40:29back in in
40:29January
40:29is on an
40:31incredible run
40:31of form
40:32and all these
40:33elements
40:34have played
40:35to create
40:36a really
40:37successful side
40:37that have been
40:39thoroughly entertaining
40:40and deserved
40:40as I said
40:41to get in the top six
40:42but they didn't
40:43waste much time
40:43getting started
40:44today did they
40:45Barney Stewart
40:45after just
40:46I think it was
40:47about four minutes
40:47was it
40:47yeah it was
40:48just another
40:49one of these
40:50examples of
40:51Barney Stewart
40:52just as a
40:52centre forward
40:54wanting to get
40:54onto the end
40:55of it
40:55knowing where
40:56to be
40:56and that's
40:57a really
40:57smart finish
40:58yeah
40:58it's
40:59five and
41:00five is it
41:01he scored
41:02in his last
41:03five games
41:03that's right
41:03I mean look
41:04a lot has
41:05been made
41:06about obviously
41:06the Scotland
41:07team
41:07and the
41:08rise of this
41:09guy from
41:09university football
41:11ironically
41:11it was at
41:12the rivals
41:13at the start
41:14of the campaign
41:14when he really
41:15started to
41:15find his
41:16goalscoring
41:17form
41:17come back
41:18into Falkirk
41:18the form
41:19he's on
41:20I mean I think
41:21personally for me
41:22I don't see any
41:23reason why he
41:23shouldn't be
41:23knocking on that
41:24door and
41:24getting involved
41:25because he's
41:26a striker in
41:26form and he's
41:27the sort that
41:28could really
41:30compliment the
41:30other players
41:31that we've got
41:31in the national
41:31team I think
41:32yeah Falkirk
41:33awarded a penalty
41:34for holding in
41:35the box
41:35Jensbert Lasko
41:36not convinced
41:37tell us what
41:37you think
41:37well I've got to
41:39say I agree
41:39with the Dane
41:39100%
41:40I mean look
41:40if you're given
41:41penalties for this
41:42then you literally
41:43will be given
41:44penalties every
41:45single time the
41:47ball comes into
41:47the box
41:47be it a corner
41:48a free kick
41:50Ibrahim Saeed
41:51doesn't hold
41:52Lisa's jersey at
41:54all
41:54he doesn't hold
41:55him
41:55he doesn't pull
41:56him
41:56he's got his
41:57arms outstretched
41:58which every
42:00single
42:00as I said
42:01ball into the
42:02box has a
42:03player doing
42:03that
42:03it's a nice
42:04finish from
42:04Calvin Miller
42:05really nice
42:05but that for me
42:07is never a
42:07penalty kick
42:08or if you're
42:09given that
42:09then you have
42:10to have a
42:11sway of
42:12penalty kicks
42:13to try and
42:13stamp that
42:14sort of
42:14defending out
42:15because every
42:16team does it
42:16and every ball
42:17into the box
42:18has an
42:18incident like
42:19that
42:19so he didn't
42:20actually grab a
42:20jersey
42:21now if the
42:22referee's given
42:22that
42:24I then pose
42:24the question
42:25what is it
42:25VAR's looking
42:26for
42:26what is the
42:27purpose in
42:27VAR if
42:28they're just
42:28going to look
42:29at that
42:29incident and
42:30simply nod
42:30along
42:31what is it
42:32I don't
42:33understand it
42:33well
42:34no more
42:35we'll find
42:35out
42:36James Bertolasco
42:37he felt as
42:38though they
42:39should have
42:39had a
42:39penalty kick
42:40and I think
42:41you agree
42:41with this
42:41one as well
42:42I think we
42:42all do
42:43I think we
42:43all do
42:45again I
42:46pose the
42:46question
42:47what is it
42:47VAR's looking
42:48at because
42:49when you see
42:50this incident
42:51it's as clear
42:52as clear can
42:52be that
42:55Masuinisi's
42:55left leg
42:56gets caught
42:57by Henderson
42:57completely
42:58you know
43:00unintentionally
43:01here but he
43:01clips his left
43:02boot
43:02I can
43:03understand why
43:04the referee
43:04might miss
43:04that because
43:05it's difficult
43:06to see in
43:06real time
43:06hence why
43:07VAR needs
43:08to be looking
43:08at that
43:08now when
43:09you look at
43:10I don't
43:10understand
43:10again when
43:12VAR's looking
43:12at that
43:13how they
43:13can't see
43:14that
43:14and I've
43:15got one
43:15other side
43:16point here
43:16is it's a
43:17penalty kick
43:17for me but
43:18I feel like
43:19the law needs
43:20to change
43:20there because
43:21Henderson
43:21shouldn't be
43:22sent off for
43:22me but as
43:23the law
43:23currently is he
43:25would have
43:25been because
43:25it's not a
43:26genuine attempt
43:26to play the
43:27ball I think
43:28it needs to
43:28the terminology
43:29needs to change
43:29so that unless
43:30it's a genuine
43:31foul and a
43:34deliberate foul
43:34then he
43:35shouldn't be
43:36sent off but
43:36at the moment
43:37unless it's a
43:38genuine attempt
43:38to play the
43:39ball they
43:40would be
43:40getting sent
43:40off and we've
43:41seen a few of
43:41those recently
43:42defenders being
43:43sent off and
43:44the penalty
43:44being given
43:44when there's not
43:46a great deal
43:46they've done
43:46wrong but that
43:47is a penalty
43:47kick but for
43:48me Henderson
43:49shouldn't be
43:49sent off
43:51Hibs take
43:52on Killie

50:32David
50:33I know
50:33you've
50:33been
50:33looking
50:34for your
50:34teams
50:34to start
50:35a bit
50:35quicker
50:36today
50:37within
50:3720
50:38seconds
50:38you're
50:381-0
50:39up
50:39well
50:39done
50:39yeah
50:40I think
50:40it was
50:40obviously
50:41that's
50:41the dream
50:42start
50:42for any
50:43coach
50:43and any
50:43team
50:44you want
50:44to start
50:44the game
50:44as well
50:45as you
50:45can
50:45I spoke
50:46a lot
50:46about
50:46having
50:47the
50:47intensity
50:47and trying
50:48to get
50:48the crowd
50:48behind
50:48you
50:48straight
50:49away
50:49started
50:49the game
50:49brilliantly
50:50I know
50:50we scored
50:50in that
50:51moment
50:51but even
50:51the first
50:5120
50:52minutes
50:52I thought
50:52we were
50:52very good
50:53certainly
50:53pleased
50:53the fact
50:54we've won
50:543-0
50:54at home
50:55clean sheet
50:56and everything
50:57I asked the players
50:57to do before
50:58the game
50:58at this stage
50:58of the season
50:59we've done
50:59which is
51:00control what
51:00we can
51:00control
51:01our levels
51:01won the game
51:02clean sheet
51:03and we're
51:03three points
51:04closer to the team
51:04in front of us
51:04which is the most
51:05important thing
51:05it was just
51:06the worst
51:07possible start
51:08you could dream
51:09to have
51:10coming here
51:11and I think
51:12we stabilised
51:13after losing
51:14such an early
51:15goal
51:15rocked us
51:15once we made
51:16a few adjustments
51:17I thought
51:17after that
51:18initial 15
51:19minute period
51:20I felt we were
51:21a better side
51:22throughout the
51:22match
51:22but it doesn't
51:24matter
51:25because the
51:26start kills us
51:26and they scored
51:28one right at
51:28the death
51:29so one at
51:30the start
51:30one at
51:31the death
51:31just to
51:32compound the
51:33misery
51:33really
51:33but probably
51:34we didn't
51:35deserve anything
51:35from the game
51:36in terms of
51:36our quality
51:38Kelly fought hard
51:39but in the end
51:40it's a comfortable
51:41win and was a
51:42comfortable win
51:42for Hibernian 3-0
51:43well yeah
51:44definitely
51:45I think you know
51:45when you hear
51:46what Neil's
51:47saying there
51:47it sort of
51:48hits the
51:49point perfectly
51:50in terms of
51:51the goal at the
51:52end just adds
51:52a bit of gloss
51:53on for Hibs
51:54but if you look
51:55at all the
51:56stats and the
51:57metrics over the
51:57game and
51:58also just
51:59watching it
52:00you get a sense
52:00of it was a
52:02fairly comfortable
52:03afternoon for Hibs
52:04the early goal
52:05obviously helps
52:06massively
52:07but the
52:08disallowed goal
52:09for Kelly as
52:10well all those
52:10little moments
52:10that help to
52:12give Hibs that
52:13feeling of
52:14dominance and
52:15comfort
52:16and it's
52:17certainly building
52:17up a nice
52:17head of steam
52:18for Hibs as
52:18it's coming into
52:19the post split
52:20fixtures and
52:20the chance to
52:21perhaps just
52:22close that gap
52:22even more on
52:23Motherwell and
52:24Patrice to try
52:24and jump ahead
52:26of them
52:27Owen Eldings
52:28scored first
52:29goal after
52:30just 13
52:31seconds and
52:31you know
52:32as David
52:33Grace says
52:34as a coach
52:35as a team
52:35there's no
52:36better way to
52:36start a game
52:37no it's a
52:37dream start
52:38absolutely
52:39and I think
52:40Owen Eldings
52:41got a wee bit
52:42of something
52:42about him
52:43he's got
52:45good physicality
52:45very direct
52:46you see him
52:47there
52:47he just wants
52:48to get into
52:48the danger
52:49area right
52:49from the
52:50get go
52:50you watch
52:50him here
52:50he's
52:51highlighted
52:51burst and
52:52run
52:52sees that
52:53gap
52:53and gets
52:54right into
52:54the penalty
52:55spot area
52:55and it's a
52:56lovely little
52:56slide drill
52:57pass from
52:57Paslak
52:58perfectly
52:59weighted so
52:59that Eldings
53:00can step
53:00on it
53:00one touch
53:01and then
53:01gets the
53:02strike away
53:02quickly
53:04and then
53:05it's
53:05effectively
53:06passed
53:06Kelly Roos
53:07before he
53:07can really
53:07react
53:08and it's
53:08the dream
53:09start for
53:09Hibs
53:09and you
53:10know
53:10I've said
53:11this all
53:11season long
53:12when you
53:12look at
53:12that Hibs
53:13team I
53:13think they've
53:14recruited well
53:14right across
53:15the summer
53:15and January
53:16they're a
53:17good team
53:18that have
53:18shot themselves
53:19in the foot
53:19so many times
53:20throughout the
53:21campaign
53:21and there's
53:22an element
53:22of frustration
53:23that this
53:23season could
53:23be better
53:24but they're
53:25certainly
53:25building up
53:26to a
53:27good run of
53:27form at
53:28the end
53:30potentially be
53:30able to get
53:31themselves into
53:31the hunt for
53:32fourth spot
53:33Neil McCann
53:34won't be happy
53:34with the second
53:36goal defensively
53:36the set up
53:37wasn't great
53:38and after that
53:39it's a long
53:39way back
53:40it's the road
53:40when you're
53:412-0 down
53:41I've highlighted
53:42the two centre
53:42halves here
53:43you've got
53:43Robbie Dees
53:44and Stanger
53:44and they've
53:46vacated the
53:46centre of the
53:47defence
53:47and as we've
53:48spoken about
53:49before with
53:50Hibs in the
53:50first goal
53:51they had a
53:52real intent
53:52to get in
53:53behind
53:54running power
53:55you've got
53:55one wing back
53:56here
53:56Obita
53:57playing it for
53:57the other
53:58wing back
53:58Passlack to
53:59knock it
53:59into the
53:59back of
54:00the net
54:00and I
54:01think that
54:01just perfectly
54:02illustrates what
54:03the performance
54:04was like for
54:05Hibs
54:05players wanting
54:06to get forward
54:07players wanting
54:08to get into
54:08dangerous areas
54:09and in the end
54:10it becomes an
54:10easy finish
54:11for Passlack
54:12but a lot of
54:12it was down
54:13to poor
54:14defending
54:14they're getting
54:15dragged out of
54:16the position
54:16there Kilmarnock
54:17and then Hibs
54:18willingness to
54:18go and punish
54:19them
54:20Kelly came into
54:21the game
54:22in good form
54:23today and when
54:24they've had those
54:25setbacks previously
54:26they've bounced back
54:27and it's so
54:28important that
54:29they do that
54:29again I think
54:30they play Dundee
54:30at home next
54:31week
54:32absolutely I
54:33mean look I
54:33think everybody
54:33recognises that
54:34there's been a
54:35positive turnaround
54:35since Neil McCann
54:37and Billy Dodds
54:37went in
54:38you're right to
54:39mention there has
54:40been a couple of
54:40results that have
54:41been really quite
54:43damaging or you
54:44would expect
54:45think about the
54:45performance that
54:46was pretty good
54:47at Ibrox in the
54:48first half but it
54:49ended up being a
54:49really chastening
54:51sort of defeat
54:52likewise at
54:53Fur Park
54:53against Motherwell
54:54there was sort
54:54of mitigating
54:56circumstances in
54:56both those games
54:57where players
54:57have been sent
54:58off today it
54:59ends up being
54:593-0 but the
55:01challenge for them
55:02is can they
55:02replicate that
55:03get a positive
55:03result next week
55:05to try and put
55:05that to bed
55:06they've shown they
55:07can do it
55:07previously
55:07they're going to
55:08have to do it
55:09again because as
55:09much as there's
55:10been positives
55:10they're still
55:11sitting 11th at
55:12this moment
55:12I know
55:13we've got a
55:13minute left so
55:14let's have a
55:14wee quick chat
55:15about tomorrow
55:16Levy Hearts
55:17Dundee
55:17Celtic two massive
55:18games for all
55:21sorts of reasons
55:21how do you see
55:22them going
55:22starting with
55:23Levy Hearts
55:24well as I
55:25mentioned just
55:25before I mean
55:25from Hearts
55:26perspective great
55:27opportunity to get
55:28themselves back
55:29at the table
55:29but they need to
55:30get an upturn in
55:31their away form
55:33they've lost the
55:34last three in a row
55:34now they need to
55:35get a positive
55:36result which will
55:37help them to
55:37build confidence
55:38with the players
55:39that are coming
55:39back as well
55:41they could well
55:41put themselves in
55:42a wonderful
55:42position come the
55:43end of tomorrow
55:44and for Celtic
55:45going up to
55:46Dundee obviously
55:46they've not picked
55:47up any points yet
55:47in Dundee
55:48they've lost the
55:49two games at
55:50Tannery and lost
55:50at Dens
55:51Park so they're
55:52going to have to
55:52put that hoodoo to
55:53bed if they've got
55:53any hopes of
55:54remaining in the
55:55title race
55:55I mean there's not
55:56much room for
55:57error left for
55:58Celtic you feel
55:59you know they can't
56:00really slip up again
56:01no margin for error
56:02is pretty much zero
56:04for Celtic now
56:04yeah it certainly
56:05is okay let's have
56:07a wee look at the
56:08table
