00:01:31Hearts lamented losing two goals in Livingston to leave two points behind.
00:01:35A tree of changes made by Derek McInnes.
00:01:38Mark Leonard suspended having been sent off late in that game.
00:01:42Makar and Chesnikov move on to the bench.
00:01:44There are starts for Stuart Finlay, Benny Meningamy and Blair Spittel.
00:01:48Motherwell continue to entertain but the results have slipped.
00:01:51Losing last time out against Falkirk.
00:01:54But Jens Berthel-Asker gives the same alone who started against Falkirk another opportunity to start today.
00:02:08Spittel, Braga will chase after that.
00:02:11Braga strong, taken down.
00:02:15Paul McGinn will be in trouble here.
00:02:20Lovely ball around the corner.
00:02:22McGinn saw the danger.
00:02:23Braga got away from him.
00:02:25McGinn had to take the yellow.
00:02:28Blair Spittel tries to set up.
00:02:31Great save by Ward.
00:02:33McIntyre denied.
00:02:36Well, the spotlight's been on the goalkeeper.
00:02:38But he more than matches it.
00:02:41That wonderful save.
00:02:42Put him in the spotlight and he will perform.
00:02:45Going the wrong way.
00:02:46Such a strong hand.
00:02:52Because the reader's trying to win a throw.
00:02:55And they end up, just gave possession away.
00:02:58Saeed round the corner.
00:02:59Manson, he sees free at the edge of the box.
00:03:02Finlay was there.
00:03:03There's the follow-up.
00:03:04And Shola has to make the save.
00:03:07Motherwell come again.
00:03:12Oh, Shola.
00:03:13What a pick-up he's been.
00:03:15Just watch the run of Watt.
00:03:16Saw the ball come back to him.
00:03:19That wasn't easy for the keeper.
00:03:21And three hulking defenders in front of him.
00:03:30What to Masson, he's sick.
00:03:38That's a little goal.
00:03:39Good save from the goalkeeper.
00:03:40And he has to react so quickly.
00:03:44This is terrific play again.
00:03:46Masson, he's sick with the set-up.
00:03:48Saeed with the shot.
00:03:48That was going in.
00:03:50And at full stretch.
00:03:52The big hearts goalkeeper.
00:03:53Keeping Motherwell at bay.
00:04:03Sparrow on the inside.
00:04:05Saeed trying to get away from Beningame.
00:04:08Helped on to Josh round the corner.
00:04:10Masson, he's sick.
00:04:11It's a lovely ball.
00:04:12Back into the hearts of the trouble here.
00:04:13Longelo 1-0.
00:04:16Motherwell strike first at Tynecastle.
00:04:19As they did back in August.
00:04:22Emmanuel Longelo.
00:04:25Well, he scored at Tynecastle earlier this season.
00:04:28And he nets again.
00:04:30Beautiful build-up play.
00:04:34No suspicion there.
00:04:37Of offside.
00:04:39And whether that was meant or not.
00:04:41The little flick on the inside.
00:04:43Motherwell find themselves ahead of Tynecastle.
00:04:47Just on to Masson, he's sick.
00:04:49Over it came.
00:04:51And Longelo had the simplest of tasks.
00:04:53To tuck it away.
00:04:55Hearts in trouble at home.
00:04:57Thaddejerp to Longelo.
00:05:00Hearts in trouble.
00:05:00Motherwell 1-1.
00:05:09Gets a riddice.
00:05:13Sparrow gets it away.
00:05:14Here's Kingsley.
00:05:17Kingsley to the byline.
00:05:20Halker!
00:05:22Six goals this term.
00:05:24Missed the last home game against Dundee.
00:05:26Had to pull out.
00:05:28And he just couldn't bring that on target.
00:05:31Hearts best chance of the second half.
00:05:38Beningabe under pressure.
00:05:40And Motherwell come again.
00:05:41Here's Just.
00:05:42On the outside.
00:05:43Masson, he's easy for two.
00:05:45Well, he knows.
00:05:46That was a great chance.
00:05:49He looks to the heavens.
00:05:50And he could have sent Harsin to hell with this.
00:05:54Wonderful move.
00:05:55By Just.
00:05:56Timed it perfectly.
00:05:57And Masson, he's sick.
00:05:59Off target.
00:06:02Comes through to Halkett.
00:06:03Halkett plays out wide.
00:06:05Braga.
00:06:07Corner.
00:06:09Motherwell with the lead.
00:06:13Blair Spittle.
00:06:15With the corner.
00:06:16Former Motherwell man.
00:06:17Headed back across by Finlay.
00:06:19It's in.
00:06:20Claudio Braga.
00:06:21Is Harts top goal scorer once more.
00:06:24Moves on to 17 for the season.
00:06:28And Harts have found a way back in.
00:06:31Harts won.
00:06:31Motherwell won.
00:06:33And deep by Spittle.
00:06:34Finlay headed it back across.
00:06:36And he somehow managed to guide it in.
00:06:38Home again.
00:06:39We had clipped him.
00:06:40McInty was right in behind him.
00:06:42And they'll check to see if there was anything nefarious.
00:06:47But Claudio Braga comes to Harts rescue once more.
00:06:51All square at Tynecastle.
00:06:54Mother checking.
00:06:57The goal is given.
00:07:00Harts are level.
00:07:02And it's all to play for at Tynecastle.
00:07:11That's a just.
00:07:14Motherwell.
00:07:15That's when he's sick.
00:07:17This season he's had.
00:07:18There's a chance.
00:07:19That's a huge opportunity.
00:07:22Well he scored once already.
00:07:26And he can't believe he's not made it a double.
00:07:33That's when he sees it.
00:07:34It's turned Halkett.
00:07:36McInty comes back.
00:07:37Oh he's turned him to.
00:07:39Part one perfect.
00:07:40Part two even better.
00:07:42Part three.
00:07:43Was it no-no?
00:07:45Beautifully done.
00:07:47Then away from McInty.
00:07:49And couldn't find the finish.
00:07:51Hearts get away with one.
00:07:57Stephen Walsh taking charge that time.
00:08:02Free kick.
00:08:04And inside will be booked.
00:08:06Just too many.
00:08:08This afternoon.
00:08:13Rambunctious style of play eventually catching up with him.
00:08:20Comes up.
00:08:21Almost fell for Braga.
00:08:22Didn't expect it there.
00:08:24There's a shout for a penalty.
00:08:26Referee's not interested.
00:08:28Lauren Shanklin is convinced.
00:08:31And Motherwell now breakthrough.
00:08:33Side.
00:08:34Beningemi.
00:08:35Hearts are all over the place here.
00:08:38But Kibore has gone down.
00:08:41And Lauren Shanklin said he got kicked in the back of the head.
00:08:46Well he did get kicked in the back of the head.
00:08:48I don't know if Stephen Walsh meant it or not.
00:08:51I very much doubt.
00:08:52The referee.
00:08:54Will go to the screen.
00:08:57And Matthew McDermott.
00:09:00Is now in discussion with Stephen McLean.
00:09:04The VAR.
00:09:05And I think he points to the spot here.
00:09:08Big moment in the race for the title.
00:09:13Penalty.
00:09:15Well Stephen Walsh can't believe it.
00:09:18But he made contact with Kibore's head.
00:09:20And that's why the penalty's been given.
00:09:27What a moment in the title race.
00:09:30Shanklin needed the post.
00:09:32But the ball's in the net.
00:09:34And Hearts have the lead.
00:09:35Motherwell have had the chances.
00:09:38Hearts have taken theirs.
00:09:40Three minutes to play at Tyne Castle.
00:09:41Plus stoppage time.
00:09:43And Lauren Shanklin sends the Hearts fans into utter delirium.
00:09:50The ball's in the net.
00:09:57Here's Kibore.
00:09:59Welsh with her.
00:10:01Andre Kibore looking to put this to bed for Hearts.
00:10:03One way, then the other.
00:10:05And scores!
00:10:07about 15 minutes ago
00:10:09it looked highly unlikely
00:10:10you would have put your money on Motherwell
00:10:13but Hart's hanging in there
00:10:15and are going to take all three points
00:10:17and will lead
00:10:19with five games to play
00:10:20the Scottish Premiership table
00:10:23yellow card for Cabone
00:10:25but more importantly for him
00:10:26he's popped the ball in the back of the net
00:10:29Cabone's got a terrific
00:10:31international record this season
00:10:33and war crumples
00:10:35as it went by him at his post
00:10:37it's a fifth domestic goal
00:10:40for Landry Cabone
00:10:41and Hart's hit three
00:10:43as they take all three points
00:10:47it's all over at Tyne Castle
00:10:49and Hart's unbeaten home season continues
00:10:52they stay top
00:10:53and a come from behind win
00:10:55it's a game Motherwell could have won
00:10:58perhaps they should have won
00:10:59but Hart's took their chances
00:11:01and 66 years
00:11:03since their last one
00:11:04the title
00:11:06what an afternoon
00:11:07at Tyne Castle
00:11:08it's finished
00:11:09Hart's three
00:11:10Motherwell won
00:11:13it's a big moment in the game
00:11:16but as I said
00:11:17everybody's said to me
00:11:18I mean we spoke to a couple of Murrow players there
00:11:19and they thought it was a penalty
00:11:21so I don't know
00:11:24I'll look at it again
00:11:25but for me
00:11:27it was a big moment
00:11:28of course it is
00:11:28but if your player's been kicked in the head
00:11:30it would normally result in a free kick
00:11:33and a penalty in the box
00:11:33so we have dug it out
00:11:35great win
00:11:36great three points
00:11:38but we're going to be playing the good teams
00:11:39you know
00:11:40Motherwell are a good team
00:11:41they're up there for so many reasons
00:11:43but we've managed to beat a good team today
00:11:45by digging deep
00:11:46and showing
00:11:48showing more motivation
00:11:49and this place
00:11:50Town Castle
00:11:51it's just got something about it
00:11:52when we play here
00:11:53and I think the fans stayed with us
00:11:56the players stayed with each other
00:11:57and a brilliant victory for us
00:11:59apparently
00:12:01we keep getting
00:12:04strange
00:12:05calls and decisions
00:12:06going against us
00:12:07it's
00:12:08yeah
00:12:08and I think it's a shame for the game
00:12:11that it gets decided in a moment like that
00:12:12but
00:12:13that's how it is
00:12:14we have to
00:12:14we had our chances to
00:12:16to decide it
00:12:17in a much better way
00:12:18but it's things like that
00:12:21that is out of my hands
00:12:21and I'm sick and tired of
00:12:23keep
00:12:24having to
00:12:25address them
00:12:27and
00:12:27I want to try and focus on
00:12:29first of all
00:12:29the performance
00:12:30from us today
00:12:31which I think
00:12:31in so many ways
00:12:33was really really good
00:12:34one of our best
00:12:36in the last period of time here
00:12:39and
00:12:39and then that
00:12:41we give ourselves the opportunities
00:12:43and
00:12:45I'm confident
00:12:46that we will take them next time
00:12:49well they are all
00:12:50believing
00:12:51at Tanadice
00:12:52and Stephen
00:12:53it's all about winning
00:12:54for Hearts
00:12:55at times
00:12:56it was a struggle
00:12:56in that second half
00:12:57but they got the job done
00:12:58it was a massive three points
00:12:59it is
00:13:00at this stage
00:13:01win the games
00:13:01and
00:13:02count them down
00:13:03as you
00:13:04as you've seen
00:13:05for the footage there
00:13:06it was about winning
00:13:07Hearts have relied
00:13:09quite a lot today
00:13:10on the set plays
00:13:10to get themselves in the game
00:13:12and
00:13:12in a couple of big decisions
00:13:13but
00:13:13the start of the game
00:13:15they had a plan
00:13:16obviously the results
00:13:17and their performances
00:13:18probably against Motherwell
00:13:19this season
00:13:19have been tough
00:13:20Motherwell have played
00:13:21excellent football
00:13:22similar to today
00:13:23but Hearts
00:13:25got big calls
00:13:26at the right times
00:13:26and I think
00:13:27their set up
00:13:27at the start
00:13:28helped them
00:13:28let's take a look
00:13:29you felt as though
00:13:30they got their press right
00:13:31a lot of teams
00:13:32have struggled with this
00:13:33against Motherwell
00:13:33this season
00:13:34yeah
00:13:34they want the free man
00:13:35to be the goalkeeper
00:13:36and they want somebody
00:13:36to gamble here
00:13:37and if you look at
00:13:37Lawrence Shanklin
00:13:38he's orchestrating
00:13:39everything here
00:13:40doesn't want to press
00:13:40the goalie
00:13:41wait
00:13:42and make him
00:13:43make the decision
00:13:43the crowd
00:13:44get a wee bit anxious
00:13:45and want to press
00:13:46and you'll see here
00:13:47he can add gestures
00:13:48to say
00:13:49we know
00:13:49we've got a plan
00:13:50type thing
00:13:51and then Braga
00:13:52has a wee nibble
00:13:53and he's like
00:13:53stay and wait
00:13:54because Motherwell
00:13:55are so good
00:13:56at the one and two
00:13:57touch to break
00:13:58through your press
00:13:59it results in this
00:14:00it results in more
00:14:01direct
00:14:03and the full first half
00:14:04Hearts got this right
00:14:05here
00:14:05Spittle could easily
00:14:07press onto the goalkeeper
00:14:08but doesn't
00:14:09wait
00:14:09and asks him
00:14:10you make the decision
00:14:12as you see here
00:14:13it's actually
00:14:14a centre mid
00:14:14who makes the forward run
00:14:15goes right through
00:14:16to the goalie
00:14:17so in the first half
00:14:17Hearts done that
00:14:18really well
00:14:21but as good a team
00:14:22as Motherwell are
00:14:22in the second half
00:14:23it was a different story
00:14:24yeah well let's talk
00:14:25about that
00:14:25I mean
00:14:26what did they change
00:14:27to kind of
00:14:30break that press
00:14:30that Hearts were
00:14:31putting on
00:14:31in that second half
00:14:32how were they starting
00:14:33to get a wee bit of joy
00:14:34well
00:14:34they didn't change
00:14:36too much
00:14:36it was probably more
00:14:37here you see
00:14:38Braga has had a wee bit
00:14:39of a nibble
00:14:40and then
00:14:40everything's reactional
00:14:41no Hearts players
00:14:42close enough
00:14:43to their opposition
00:14:44and then when this play
00:14:45gets played forward
00:14:46they break the press
00:14:47commit bodies forward
00:14:49and this is a
00:14:49mother will go
00:14:50we've seen all season
00:14:51bodies getting forward
00:14:53running forward
00:14:55Faddinger here
00:14:55for me makes the goal
00:14:56he's a centre mid
00:14:57he's involved in the build up
00:14:58but he's run
00:14:59he just takes off
00:15:00draws Makati in
00:15:02doesn't even make contact
00:15:03with the ball
00:15:04and it turns into
00:15:05a simple tap in
00:15:06and it was just
00:15:08what they deserved
00:15:09should Kiziridis recognise
00:15:10this earlier
00:15:11and burst himself
00:15:13to get in
00:15:13he's got to
00:15:13the two centre mids
00:15:14have been involved
00:15:15in the press
00:15:15he has got to
00:15:16cover round
00:15:17and if I'm honest
00:15:18recent times
00:15:19Kiziridis has probably
00:15:20went off the boil
00:15:21yeah he's maybe not been
00:15:22he's certainly
00:15:22had a great
00:15:23first half of the season
00:15:25but you know
00:15:25I'd probably agree with that
00:15:26second half
00:15:27he's not quite hit the heights
00:15:28yeah and I think
00:15:28that's probably in recent weeks
00:15:29it's been tough for Hearts
00:15:30because the players
00:15:31have brought in in January
00:15:32their big performers
00:15:34haven't hit the heights
00:15:35at the moment
00:15:35and they're going through
00:15:36that wee sticky period
00:15:37but they've got a result
00:15:38today
00:15:39Jens Bertolaski
00:15:40talking about
00:15:41he was pleased with
00:15:41the performance
00:15:42and no wonder
00:15:43when you look at
00:15:43some of the chances
00:15:44that they created
00:15:44in that second half
00:15:46three massive chances
00:15:47at such a vital stage
00:15:49of the game
00:15:49and they didn't take
00:15:50any of them
00:15:50well second half
00:15:52they managed to
00:15:53build up and get
00:15:54through Hearts Express
00:15:55the chances are
00:15:56massive chances
00:15:57and I think
00:15:57their football
00:15:59to the final third
00:15:59was as good as
00:16:00what their performance
00:16:01at Timecastle
00:16:02first time round was
00:16:05but when you're a team
00:16:06this far on top
00:16:071-0 up
00:16:08you need to take
00:16:09these chances
00:16:09that kind of
00:16:11is bouncing
00:16:12it's a half volley
00:16:13and you'll see
00:16:14this one
00:16:15just who I would have
00:16:16expected to hit the target
00:16:17with this one
00:16:17the quality that he's got
00:16:19these are good chances
00:16:20especially at Timecastle
00:16:22against the team
00:16:22top of the league
00:16:24you need to take them
00:16:25if it goes to
00:16:26I think Motherwell
00:16:27can control the game
00:16:28for the rest of the game
00:16:29and win it comfortably
00:16:30here
00:16:30this would have been
00:16:31an outstanding goal
00:16:33Massonisi
00:16:34great composure
00:16:34in the final moment
00:16:35rolls it past the post
00:16:37and ultimately
00:16:38this comes back
00:16:39to bite my though
00:16:40what a turn that is
00:16:41brilliant
00:16:42he sees that
00:16:42one centre half's out
00:16:43plays into space
00:16:44and uses his pace
00:16:46to get through
00:16:46yeah so I mean
00:16:47Hearts
00:16:48absorb like character
00:16:49at this stage
00:16:50and there's a lot
00:16:50of pressure on them
00:16:51it must be difficult
00:16:52to play under these
00:16:52circumstances
00:16:53you know
00:16:53especially at home
00:16:54with the expectant crowd
00:16:55but they did
00:16:56kind of turn the screw
00:16:58towards the end
00:16:59of the game
00:16:59they get
00:17:00the penalty
00:17:01and
00:17:02James Bertolaski
00:17:03is saying it's not
00:17:04Derek is saying it is
00:17:05where do you stand with it?
00:17:07First viewing of it
00:17:08I thought
00:17:08it's not a penalty
00:17:09but then see
00:17:10when you see the replay
00:17:11it's like a striker
00:17:12getting to the ball
00:17:14on the box first
00:17:14whether it's with his foot
00:17:16his head
00:17:16whatever
00:17:17if he gets there first
00:17:18and the defender
00:17:19makes contact with him
00:17:20it's a penalty
00:17:20I think the bit
00:17:22that makes it
00:17:22a bit strange
00:17:23is Kabori's position
00:17:24he's lying flat back
00:17:25he actually does
00:17:26get his head on the ball
00:17:27for me it's a penalty
00:17:30and
00:17:31I think
00:17:31when you touch on there
00:17:32about the atmosphere
00:17:33and tiny
00:17:34it can be a really
00:17:35hard place to play
00:17:36but Hearts have done
00:17:37a great job
00:17:38this season
00:17:38at keeping that momentum
00:17:40who do you want
00:17:41on a penalty?
00:17:42Lawrence Shanker
00:17:43he put it right in the corner
00:17:44for Hearts
00:17:46they can only really
00:17:47take one game
00:17:47at a time
00:17:48now
00:17:49five left
00:17:50and each game
00:17:51is essentially
00:17:52a cup final
00:17:52it's in their own hands
00:17:53yeah it is
00:17:54but having not been
00:17:56in this position
00:17:57before will be
00:17:58the biggest test
00:17:58for me
00:17:59they're playing
00:17:59the best teams
00:18:00in the league
00:18:00but they fared well
00:18:01against the best teams
00:18:02in the league
00:18:04so
00:18:04five cup finals
00:18:05all to play for
00:18:06it is
00:18:07and for Motherwell
00:18:07it's one point
00:18:08from 15
00:18:10they played well
00:18:10today
00:18:11and he's maybe
00:18:12scratching his head
00:18:12a bit there
00:18:13as to
00:18:13how they've
00:18:14not come away
00:18:15with something
00:18:15but one point
00:18:16from 15
00:18:17is stark contrast
00:18:18to the form
00:18:18that they were in
00:18:19earlier in the season
00:18:20are they just
00:18:20running out of steam
00:18:21a wee bit
00:18:21I think a wee bit
00:18:22I think
00:18:24their performances
00:18:25have been good
00:18:26but they need to have
00:18:27that cutting edge
00:18:28at the final
00:18:28end of the pitch
00:18:30and they've missed
00:18:31that in recent times
00:18:32okay
00:18:33Hearts win
00:18:34meant Celtic
00:18:35also needed a win
00:18:36to keep pace
00:18:37they face St Mirren
00:18:38at Celtic Park
00:18:41a rematch
00:18:42of this season's
00:18:42league cup final
00:18:43and a dress rehearsal
00:18:44for next week's
00:18:45Scottish Cup semi-final
00:18:46before immediately
00:18:48this is a game
00:18:49that is significant
00:18:50at both ends
00:18:51of the Premiership
00:18:52Ralston replaces
00:18:53Donovan
00:18:54who came off
00:18:54injured at Dundee
00:18:55last Sunday
00:18:56there was another
00:18:57derby afternoon
00:18:58for the Celtic
00:18:59supporters
00:18:59how they'd love
00:19:00a convincing win
00:19:01this weekend
00:19:02that's the same
00:19:03Saints 11
00:19:04that started the
00:19:04victory over
00:19:05Aberdeen last week
00:19:06which came off
00:19:07the back
00:19:07of the equally
00:19:08important three
00:19:09points collected
00:19:09at Falkirk
00:19:12Celtic starting
00:19:13the weekend
00:19:13three off the top
00:19:15with an inferior
00:19:15goal difference
00:19:16to their two
00:19:17title rivals
00:19:19as that comes
00:19:20through to
00:19:20Tavanchara
00:19:21he's got it
00:19:22behind charge
00:19:22and Freckleton
00:19:23blocks
00:19:25offside anyway
00:19:27flags up
00:19:30the Saints
00:19:31have won the
00:19:31last two
00:19:31as they try
00:19:32and hold the
00:19:33playoff spot
00:19:34at arm's length
00:19:36they seldom win
00:19:37here
00:19:37and that is
00:19:39really tight
00:19:41Tavanchara
00:19:42snuck in
00:19:43behind
00:19:44Freckleton
00:19:45didn't know
00:19:45it was going
00:19:46to be offside
00:19:46so had to
00:19:47deal with it
00:19:47and dead
00:19:54here's Tierney
00:20:01McGregor
00:20:04for Oxley
00:20:04Chamberlain
00:20:27and the rebound
00:20:34Well that is not going to count, no arguments, but the Celtic supporters have enjoyed the start their teams made.
00:20:49Devane for Donnelly who has dropped into midfield when Samirin have been on the ball.
00:20:57Here's a Jungo who's doubled in that League Cup final, had the biggest say of all.
00:21:04The shot from distance is comfortably dealt with by Sinisalo, ambitious from Freckleton.
00:21:18Yang, Celtic second top scorer now, nine goals, ten behind this man, Negren.
00:21:26They had three over the 20 goal mark last season Celtic.
00:21:31Tierney back to MacGregor, breaks to Oxlade, Chamberlain and that's 1-0.
00:21:40They're a massive goal.
00:21:44They all are at this time of year, but perhaps more so this season, with Celtic's title defence under all
00:21:53kinds of pressure.
00:21:55Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's second Celtic goal.
00:22:05That's a great take by Maeda, Tvanchara's in the middle, George beats him to it though.
00:22:11And he appears to have taken a boot to the face.
00:22:18Well, it looked as though the goalkeeper was favourite, however, Tvanchara's got every right to go for it.
00:22:26An unfortunate set of circumstances here.
00:22:30And he's in real trouble as George.
00:22:34What about that touch from Maeda, it's outstanding.
00:22:39And Tvanchara catches Shamal George, he's gonna have to be replaced by Ryan Mullin here.
00:22:43It's the third appearance of the season.
00:22:47Percy Mirren's second choice goalie.
00:22:51Norma Morton, keeper.
00:23:03Scales goes long, looking for Maeda and behind again.
00:23:06There's one man in this country, he's gonna get there, it's him and he does.
00:23:10Tvanchara!
00:23:12Maeda goes behind for the goal kick.
00:23:15Mullin with the block.
00:23:18Yang was in there too.
00:23:22Again Dyson Maeda gives nothing up.
00:23:25Not sure if he did manage to keep that in place.
00:23:28Done well if he has done.
00:23:32Craig McLeish there, similar to have been much improved in recent times.
00:23:38His back-to-back wins.
00:23:40Don't win here often though.
00:23:42Devane's corner, it's Donnelly's header and it's over.
00:23:47It's just one win here since 1990 for Samir and when they did so under Jim Goodwin in 2021.
00:24:01Deep into first half stoppage time.
00:24:05It is Yang.
00:24:07Chanchara, back for Oxlade-Chamberlain.
00:24:09Chanchara, back for Oxlade-Chamberlain.
00:24:10And it's back to goal which made it awkward.
00:24:13And there is the half-time whistle which will stop Killian Phillips.
00:24:16He was marauding forward there.
00:24:21He doesn't think that the referee's made the correct call there.
00:24:27Half-time whistle went.
00:24:31And this was the opportunity for Celtic looking for a second before the interval.
00:24:35Things just not falling for Tomas Chanchara at the moment.
00:24:39And then the referee blew his whistle.
00:24:41But then the half-time whistle came just after that.
00:24:50Tierney.
00:24:52Vermaida.
00:24:55Fires it in and it's Inaccio.
00:24:59Last week's hero off the bench.
00:25:02To replace Chanchara.
00:25:04A short time ago.
00:25:07He's lost his bearing slightly.
00:25:11And again it's good wing play by Maidau.
00:25:13He's having this goal drought of his own at the moment.
00:25:22St Mirren have been very good in the second half.
00:25:26As another potential advantage goes against Celtic.
00:25:30Though the fans were howling for the free kick in the first place.
00:25:34And Duncan Nicholson's booked Alex Gogic.
00:25:36He was on the score sheet last week.
00:25:41Desperately trying to get back into position there.
00:25:43And he wiped out the Inaccio.
00:25:46And as you can see Luke McCowan was going in.
00:25:50After the whistle had gone.
00:25:53And the Celtic fans felt he should have played on.
00:26:00Closing stages.
00:26:04Here's Edoubu.
00:26:10There's time, there's hope for St Mirren.
00:26:14Phillips manages to work it out wide again.
00:26:16It's Edoubu, it's comfortable though for Sinisalo.
00:26:20It's been an edgy second half performance here by Celtic.
00:26:26The stakes are so, so high.
00:26:28At both ends of the table to be fair.
00:26:32It is a victory for the champions.
00:26:35Made hard work of it at times.
00:26:38But at this stage, it's all about the three points.
00:26:43And Martin and Neil's side have claimed them.
00:26:46In back to back games now.
00:26:48Rona Engels there.
00:26:50Returning from injury.
00:26:52Played his part from the bench.
00:26:55Oxlade, Chamberlain's goal enough to settle it in the end.
00:26:58They finish Celtic one.
00:27:01St Mirren now.
00:27:03Ok, well naturally I'm delighted that we won the game.
00:27:05Which is the most important thing.
00:27:07I thought that energy levels obviously concerned me a bit.
00:27:10I thought that we didn't seem to have that.
00:27:13But St Mirren long periods in the second half where they were in control.
00:27:18And really I think that was the thing.
00:27:22However, we dug it in.
00:27:24We kept a clean sheet.
00:27:25We defended strongly on the set plays.
00:27:28And so we've won.
00:27:31Even though today's a defeat,
00:27:32I think there's loads of positives that we can take
00:27:34and keep adding to the momentum that we're building.
00:27:38Next week's a fantastic occasion.
00:27:39We're so excited about it.
00:27:40We're looking forward to it.
00:27:41We've said to the players after the game that
00:27:44they have to take belief from it that we can
00:27:47go and win that game.
00:27:48We can go and progress to the final
00:27:50and give ourselves another opportunity at final at Hampden.
00:27:54Then we get back to the league side of it
00:27:56and we then focus on that when it comes.
00:27:58But right now, full focus for the rest of this week
00:28:01has to be on semi-final.
00:28:04Not their best performance, but much like Hearts, Stephen for Celtic
00:28:08and Martin O'Neill said it, and I think Liam said it in commentary,
00:28:10it's all about winning.
00:28:12Yeah, I think Martin O'Neill was really honest there.
00:28:14The energy levels we talked about, but after last week
00:28:17and how poor the performance was and the result,
00:28:21get the win was the first thing they needed to do.
00:28:23And they've done that, still questions over the performance.
00:28:25No doubt about it.
00:28:26I mean, they started the game well.
00:28:27The first 20, they were at it.
00:28:29Yeah, they were, I think.
00:28:31The manager probably couldn't have asked for a better start.
00:28:34They were on the front foot.
00:28:35They were finding these spaces.
00:28:36It looked like a Celtic performance over the years
00:28:39in terms of putting teams under pressure early on,
00:28:42moving the ball quickly.
00:28:44If they're not closing you down,
00:28:45Cal McGregor taking a shot, they get a goal.
00:28:47It's marginally offside, but it's offside.
00:28:50But the intent was really there.
00:28:52And I think, how many times have you seen Celtic,
00:28:56at Celtic Park, get that first goal
00:28:58and then just continue to power teams down
00:29:02and score two, three, four?
00:29:04You're expecting that to happen
00:29:06because the football was quick.
00:29:08They were moving the ball across the pitch quickly
00:29:09and they were creating these opportunities
00:29:12and ultimately the block puts it into Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass.
00:29:17But it's still a composed finish
00:29:19and it will have been the biggest thing the manager,
00:29:21a bit of relief for the manager
00:29:22as soon as they get that goal so early on.
00:29:24Yeah, I mean, you're right to point out
00:29:27Celtic teams of the past that we've watched
00:29:30and seen in the recent past,
00:29:32they generally, after they get that goal,
00:29:34blow teams away and it's relentless pressure,
00:29:36pressure, pressure, pressure.
00:29:37But today it only lasted for those 20 minutes.
00:29:41That chance we've just seen there, you'd expect.
00:29:44There was a few of them after the goal
00:29:45and you're expecting they'll score, they'll score, they'll score.
00:29:48But there was none of the clinical finish and the calmness in the box
00:29:51and then that just fed its way into the game
00:29:54and it became nervy.
00:29:56St Myrne were good in possession, as we've seen under McLeish.
00:29:59He's wanting them to build up.
00:30:01But Celtic let them control a lot of the second half,
00:30:03as the manager said.
00:30:04And that is just not a Celtic team we've seen in the past.
00:30:07No, and they're missing a cutting edge.
00:30:09I mean, let's take a look at some clips of when they would probably,
00:30:12again in the past, have put teams to the saw.
00:30:15But there's just not a cohesion at the minute.
00:30:17No, it's all very hopeful.
00:30:20There's not a joined up thinking.
00:30:21There's not any running under the ball.
00:30:23Here you have some good forward runs.
00:30:25That pass is over-hit, which lets St Myrne get back into position.
00:30:30And then even this wee delicate pass is over-hit.
00:30:33What that does to the momentum, the crowd.
00:30:35We've been there in games.
00:30:39It just takes the energy out of the crowd.
00:30:41Brows a frustration.
00:30:43Here, long ball to nobody.
00:30:45Don't think it's needed.
00:30:46It just gives up that pressure that you're trying to build.
00:30:49And it just became a wee bit pedestrian.
00:30:50I mean, you know, Martin O'Neill was talking about the energy levels
00:30:53weren't there.
00:30:54But, I mean, that's the kind of very one thing
00:30:56that you expect to see at Celtic Park.
00:30:58And we've both been there for opposition teams.
00:31:01And, you know, you can't breathe for the amount of pressure
00:31:02that you're under at times.
00:31:03And, ultimately, they make the right choices
00:31:05and they believe in the choices.
00:31:07A lot of this is hopeful.
00:31:08It's really hopeful
00:31:09and just hoping that the ball goes through to the player
00:31:11or they get the chance.
00:31:12I mean, just seven shots for Celtic today,
00:31:14which is low for a home game.
00:31:16And I think that kind of, it highlights
00:31:18and it illustrates where the problems are.
00:31:21I mean, we know that they're missing Jota.
00:31:24May, there's not scoring the goals that he did last season.
00:31:27Negrin's chipped in with a lot of goals,
00:31:29but they're missing, I suppose, a kind of main goal threat, aren't they?
00:31:33Since Kyogo went, I think every Celtic fan said it.
00:31:36For the last three transfer windows,
00:31:39they've needed a goal scorer.
00:31:40They've ended up having to get Ian Accio in,
00:31:43out of the transfer window,
00:31:46had to build his fitness up.
00:31:47He gets an injury.
00:31:48He's the one player that I think has real quality for goals.
00:31:51But his fitness and his injury record has not been great.
00:31:54And that's ultimately where Celtic sit.
00:31:57And I think it's a big ask going into this period of the season
00:32:01to get the results you need.
00:32:02Do you think they can win the league?
00:32:04Do you think they will win the league?
00:32:06The fixtures, the first few fixtures are important.
00:32:08They need to go out there, get wins, comfortable wins,
00:32:10which will hopefully build for the Celtic point of view
00:32:12that momentum going into the last three games.
00:32:15For St Myrna and Craig talked about it there,
00:32:16there were positives to take.
00:32:18The performance, alright, in the final third,
00:32:20they didn't have that many shots on target.
00:32:22But generally, the build-up play was very, very good.
00:32:25For large spells in that second half,
00:32:27they dominated possession of the ball.
00:32:29And they'll take that confidence into next weekend's semi-final.
00:32:32They'll believe that they can beat Celtic.
00:32:35Consistency.
00:32:36Consistency since they took the team,
00:32:37the performances, the way they build up.
00:32:39I think the next stage
00:32:40and what probably they need more of next week is a goal threat.
00:32:43As much as they had good possession,
00:32:45it was all in the middle of the pitch or defensively.
00:32:47They never had many opportunities.
00:32:49Next week they'll need that.
00:32:51But for McLeish to come in and do what he's done
00:32:54is very impressive.
00:32:55And for St Myrna as well,
00:32:56that'll be the hardest game that they'll face now.
00:32:58Because now they're going to be facing the teams round about them.
00:33:00I mean, they're in a real battle
00:33:02and it's going to be so interesting.
00:33:03But that's the hardest game that they'll play.
00:33:04Obviously, they'll get the semi-final next week.
00:33:06But after that, it's a different type of game, isn't it?
00:33:08It's a battle for survival.
00:33:10There's so many more nerves on it.
00:33:12But he spoke about it there, momentum.
00:33:14He's built it in the last three games.
00:33:16He'll want it going into the split.
00:33:18No doubt about it.
00:33:19With just one win in 16,
00:33:21Aberdeen need to find a way to win.
00:33:23And soon today's opponents were David Gray's hips.
00:33:27David Gray's hips.
00:33:27Steven Robinson makes five changes to the side
00:33:30who started that 2-0 defeat to St Myrna last week.
00:33:32Dimitar Mitov returns in goal with
00:33:34Stuart Armstrong and Lyle Cameron taking place in midfield.
00:33:37Alongside Toyosi Olisagna and Kevin Nisbet up front for the Dons.
00:33:42For Hibbs, David Gray names an unchanged side to the one
00:33:45who started that 3-0 win against Kilmarnock last time out.
00:33:48With goal scorers Elding and Pastlak keeping their place and Schuto on the bench.
00:33:55Salinger with three clean sheets in his last three.
00:33:59Aiming to make it four here.
00:34:02As Hibbs trying to claw back some ground against Motherwell.
00:34:06Clipped over the top of the one.
00:34:07Oh, Sanya's gone to ground. Is that a penalty?
00:34:10No!
00:34:11In the opinion of the referee David Dickinson.
00:34:15He's now going to pause the game to allow VAR to have a look at this.
00:34:22It's Grant Hanley against him.
00:34:24Gets it all wrong and...
00:34:26It's Grant Hanley.
00:34:27Olesagna just hits the deck on the inside of the area.
00:34:31Gets caught under it, Grant Hanley falls to ground but
00:34:34does he maybe clutcher Olesagna on the way down.
00:34:39Greg Atkin has asked David Dickinson to come over and review this.
00:34:51does look like he's falling Grant Hanley first before then
00:34:56maybe grabbing the ankles of Olusanya
00:35:00referee just taking his time to make the decision here
00:35:05and he's made his decision penalty given
00:35:11and now is Grant Hanley in real bother here
00:35:15there is a card out and the colour of it is red
00:35:21Grant Hanley's second red card of the season
00:35:26Hibbs down to ten early on at Potodri
00:35:33Kevin Nisbet scored a penalty against Celtic last month
00:35:37can he do it again?
00:35:39he can
00:35:42Kevin Nisbet with his tenth goal of the season
00:35:46puts Aberdeen in front of Potodri
00:35:49oh how they've waited for that
00:35:53it's cool, it's calm, it's collected from Kevin Nisbet
00:35:56despite the pressure
00:35:59sends Salinger the wrong way and puts the Dons ahead
00:36:08Steven Robinson looking for his first win in four games as Aberdeen head coach
00:36:15Jamfie into the box and it's miskicked
00:36:18Jensen leaves it for Armstrong
00:36:20it's not far away from Stuart Armstrong
00:36:25just one goal for the season so far
00:36:28it's worth a pop
00:36:30it's not too far away
00:36:34Aberdeen looking comfortable as the game progresses
00:36:37now it comes to Cameron shapes to shoot
00:36:39goes for a goal
00:36:41oh it's flicked in by Olisagna
00:36:42but the flag goes up against it
00:36:45holds his head in his hands
00:36:48yet to score on Aberdeen red
00:36:50thought he had there
00:36:54Cameron shapes to shoot and then
00:36:55Olisagna is just a yard offside
00:36:59Pashiri's lucky though
00:37:07Armstrong picks it up wide left
00:37:09now it's Jamfie
00:37:12cuts back on the right
00:37:13can he find anybody
00:37:14oh it's Cody Jensen
00:37:15and he's blasted it over the bar
00:37:19just when it looked like it was easier to stick it between the sticks
00:37:24he's lashed it over
00:37:29first half that will have been of concern to David Gray
00:37:34not too many chances for Hibs but
00:37:36Owen Elding's gone down holding the back of his head here
00:37:41just on the cusp of half time
00:37:45David Dickinson just coming over to have a look
00:37:49oh now is there a question to be answered here
00:37:55and VAR certainly think it's worth another look
00:37:57Emmanuel Jamfie against Owen Elding
00:38:04just on the left-hand side here does look like
00:38:07Jamfie's arm makes contact with the back of
00:38:10Elding's head
00:38:12how much force was in it
00:38:15that's the question that
00:38:17the referee will be talking about and discussing just now
00:38:22again taking their time to the decision
00:38:27but it's been made
00:38:32referee goes to his pocket
00:38:34what color is the card it's yellow
00:38:36for Emmanuel Jamfie
00:38:39and the German may well feel fortunate they are
00:38:43not to have seen straight red
00:38:50Aberdeen picking up with the left off in the first half and it's Nisbet
00:38:53he's found O'Horah with it
00:38:56O'Horah with it O'Horah goes it alone
00:38:58and he's dragged it wide
00:39:02had a number of opportunities O'Horah this afternoon
00:39:08it's a great run great pick out from Nisbet
00:39:11O'Horah does well to push him out wide to make the angle just that wee bit more difficult
00:39:20McGrath
00:39:23now to Barlasar
00:39:26on he's played it through he's found Elding with a wonderful opportunity
00:39:29and it's saved by Mitov but the flag's gone up against Elding
00:39:37it's unfortunate
00:39:40but what a ball this is from Barlasar and oh now
00:39:44Elding looks onside there
00:39:48may well be annoyed when he watches that back
00:39:56Jamfie the ball into the box but it's half away comes back to the German
00:40:02Jamfie chops onto the left and goes for a goal
00:40:07just wide
00:40:09not a bad effort at all from Emmanuel Jamfie
00:40:14great presence of mind to cut onto the left-hand side
00:40:20Aberdeen's growing in confidence now as Jamfie has a bit of room down the left
00:40:25plays it across the face a goal Nisbet couldn't get anything on it
00:40:29but Jensen will pick it up now
00:40:32Jensen and it's just over the bar from Afeeza Rimu
00:40:39Aberdeen knocking on the door
00:40:46Shinnie finds Arimu out wide
00:40:51whoops one into the box he's found Nisbet
00:40:54now did that go over the line
00:40:56that's what he's claiming
00:40:59he's questioning the referee Kevin Nisbet
00:41:03he's convinced his effort crashed off the bar and crossed the line
00:41:08when it did it's surely a goal
00:41:11it's surely Aberdeen second in the afternoon
00:41:17it's a great first touch from Nisbet
00:41:21crashes off the bar
00:41:22B.A.R's had a look
00:41:252-0
00:41:27Kevin Nisbet second in the afternoon
00:41:31Aberdeen second
00:41:33and maybe three points for the first time for Steven Robinson
00:41:36as the Dons head coach
00:41:40that first touch from Nisbet is exquisite before he lets fly
00:41:49Szilny clips one over the top
00:41:52one
00:41:52Keskenen's through
00:41:53it's Tofi Keskenen
00:41:55saved
00:41:56danger's still not clear
00:41:58it's broken through to Keskenen again
00:42:00once again Salinger
00:42:03had to be out smart to meet Tofi Keskenen
00:42:11Angles against him
00:42:13but he could well have made it three to Aberdeen
00:42:17I thought we were very good at times
00:42:19and you could see a bit of nervousness
00:42:21within the game when you've only had one clean sheet at Pataudry since November
00:42:26and one win out with the cup in the league since December
00:42:30so there's obviously going to be a nervousness
00:42:32but I thought there were some excellent performances today
00:42:34and we've said all week if we deliver balls into the box
00:42:37Kevin Nisbet will score
00:42:40he's someone that's been really behind what we've tried to do
00:42:43and I'm delighted for him today that he's got us two goals
00:42:45I can't fault the players effort
00:42:47in terms of going down to 10 men is really difficult at any time
00:42:50especially away from home
00:42:52in the conditions
00:42:54and I think the sucker punch for us was probably the timing of the second goal
00:42:57because you're at that sort of period
00:42:58I thought the players are at the right
00:43:00to then really go and have a real goal for the last 15-20 minutes
00:43:03when you see it again at full speed
00:43:06I think it would be it's probably quite in the soft category
00:43:09but I still think it's a red card for me
00:43:10I think because of where he makes contact
00:43:12I fully understand if the player who makes contact with Owen goes and heads the ball
00:43:16but he doesn't
00:43:17I think it's sped up
00:43:18it's a clear contact
00:43:19back of the head
00:43:20can't lift your hand to anybody
00:43:22so for me it's violent conduct unfortunately
00:43:25A massive win for Aberdeen
00:43:28and an impressive performance
00:43:29Stephen, how much did they need that?
00:43:31Massively
00:43:32I think they were really
00:43:33I was really worried for them before this weekend's fixtures
00:43:36having a couple of centre-halves out
00:43:38canisters and tobers
00:43:40I think they've looked vulnerable
00:43:42but it's exactly what Stephen Robinson would have wanted
00:43:44100%
00:43:45right from the off
00:43:46right from the kick-off
00:43:47they were looking dangerous
00:43:47especially with balls
00:43:48in behind the channels
00:43:50and when you've got Olasanya in your team
00:43:52then he's a great outlet for that
00:43:53The one man that will know what Stephen Robinson wants
00:43:57is Olasanya
00:43:58and I think that was a clear plan today
00:43:59down the size of the three centre-halves
00:44:02and Olasanya with the initial runs
00:44:05freeing up space for Nisbet
00:44:07for a bit of quality
00:44:07and Armstrong and Cameron's energy in the game today
00:44:11I think we're big pluses
00:44:14but Olasanya probably sometimes lacks that quality or the finesse
00:44:17but he's constantly willing to make these runs
00:44:21this is a soft foul
00:44:22but these are typical runs that he makes all the time
00:44:25and this is what gets him his reward
00:44:27and he scares defenders
00:44:28because defenders do not want to be up against that sort of pace, do they?
00:44:31No, they don't
00:44:31and the penalty lead comes from that ball over the top
00:44:35and he's happy to run
00:44:36Grant Hanley's in an awkward position
00:44:39doesn't know what's around him
00:44:40Let's look at it
00:44:41I mean, it was
00:44:42we watched it down the stairs
00:44:44and we both felt it was a penalty lie
00:44:46The question for me
00:44:48is why doesn't David Dickinson call it on the pitch?
00:44:51Yeah, I think he's in a great position to see it
00:44:53and probably should call it
00:44:55Olasanya does brilliantly
00:44:57to just put enough pressure on Grant Hanley
00:44:59to put him off balance
00:45:00to then give him the edge
00:45:01as you see it here
00:45:02he just puts enough pressure on him
00:45:04and I think the foul
00:45:05is not the first part
00:45:07it's the second part
00:45:07and the legs come together
00:45:08but as soon as he brings him down
00:45:10it's a penalty
00:45:10it's a red card
00:45:12but it set the tone for Aberdeen
00:45:16getting the red card
00:45:17going down to 10 men
00:45:18helps massively
00:45:19and it freed up Aberdeen
00:45:21within the game
00:45:22but it's a penalty
00:45:23but it comes from that
00:45:24Olasanya
00:45:25anticipating the ball over the top
00:45:27making the run
00:45:28and ultimately
00:45:29Do you agree with the Reds as well?
00:45:30I think it is
00:45:31just because of the goal scoring opportunity
00:45:32and if Olasanya's not finishing it
00:45:34Nisbet's running on to it
00:45:35Nisbet shows his quality
00:45:37with the finish and the penalty as well
00:45:38Yeah, he's in a bit of form
00:45:39isn't Nisbet?
00:45:40Aberdeen
00:45:40yes they had the numerical advantage
00:45:43but sometimes when you're playing against 10 men
00:45:45it's not as easy as you think
00:45:46but they dealt with it well
00:45:48and had good control in the game
00:45:49Yeah, I think they've looked very nervous
00:45:52in possession in previous games
00:45:53Yeah
00:45:53but Armstrong and Cameron's energy especially
00:45:57and then they were playing without freedom
00:45:59playing these wee slip passes
00:46:01unfortunately with the ball across there
00:46:03but this became a feature
00:46:05they never rushed possession going forward
00:46:07they always had guys willing to run forward
00:46:09and here
00:46:10that's a dangerous pass inside
00:46:13you need the quality
00:46:13Cameron shows it
00:46:15they get bodies in the box
00:46:16and it seemed as if
00:46:18the Aberdeen team
00:46:19were enjoying themselves
00:46:21playing in a game of football
00:46:22which hasn't happened often
00:46:23let's be honest
00:46:23and I think that's the thing
00:46:24Stephen Robinson was trying to
00:46:26build that throughout the course of this weekend
00:46:28it's one of the hardest things to give
00:46:30players or a group of players
00:46:31in a football team
00:46:32that aren't winning games
00:46:33is to give them confidence
00:46:34it's almost impossible to do
00:46:35without winning games
00:46:36It's impossible
00:46:37and it also makes players
00:46:39make safe decisions
00:46:40today
00:46:40after the goal
00:46:42first goal went in
00:46:43you've seen them playing
00:46:44with a bit of freedom
00:46:44playing with that
00:46:45willing to make risky passes
00:46:47and it paid off for them
00:46:48the second goal comes
00:46:50at a good time
00:46:51as David Gray said as well
00:46:52Well you mentioned David Gray
00:46:53he felt as though
00:46:55Aberdeen should have had a red card
00:46:57for this
00:46:57from Champhy
00:46:59what's your thoughts?
00:47:00To start with again
00:47:01in real time
00:47:02I'm saying
00:47:02it's a red card
00:47:03when you see it back
00:47:05his arm rides up the back
00:47:07he's trying to put
00:47:08the forward
00:47:10off balance
00:47:10his arm rides up
00:47:12his back
00:47:12he makes contact
00:47:13I think it's clumsy
00:47:15rather than
00:47:17violent conduct
00:47:18so I think
00:47:19credit goes to the referee
00:47:20for going to the monitor
00:47:21and coming out
00:47:22with the decision he did
00:47:23yellow card
00:47:24Yeah fair play
00:47:24it's a blow for Hibs
00:47:25because they are in this push
00:47:26for fourth place
00:47:28I suppose
00:47:28with Motherwell losing as well
00:47:30but
00:47:31when you go down to 10 men
00:47:33regardless of who you're playing against
00:47:34it's a real uphill battle for them
00:47:36although in the second half
00:47:36they had spells
00:47:37where they looked good
00:47:38It's tough
00:47:38it's really tough
00:47:40when you go to 10 men
00:47:41I think Hibs are still
00:47:42really in the fight
00:47:43for fourth
00:47:44I don't think this will
00:47:44dent their confidence too much
00:47:46but
00:47:48I put it down to Aberdeen
00:47:50being better
00:47:50and being organised
00:47:52and controlling the game a lot
00:47:53which
00:47:54ultimately never gave Hibs
00:47:55opportunities
00:47:56Hibs next game
00:47:57is obviously
00:47:58the Edinburgh Derby
00:47:59at Easter Road
00:48:00and the extra incentive
00:48:01for them is
00:48:02because they do not want
00:48:03to see Hearts
00:48:04winning the league
00:48:05do they?
00:48:05It's going to be an absolute
00:48:06blockbuster that game
00:48:07isn't it?
00:48:07It is
00:48:08and it's
00:48:09after today's result
00:48:10David Gray will be wanting
00:48:11to get back to winning ways
00:48:12but
00:48:12the Derbys have been
00:48:14they've probably lacked quality
00:48:15but had lots of entertainment
00:48:17over the last couple of years
00:48:19and I'd imagine
00:48:20next week
00:48:20or two weeks
00:48:21it'll be really good
00:48:22I'd imagine
00:48:23so
00:48:23in the build up
00:48:24to the World Cup
00:48:25we want you to have your say

00:50:37good play from Bruce

00:50:40Lowry
00:50:41and set up the striker
00:50:45it fell fortunately to him

00:51:19Curtis
00:51:20such a good signing
00:51:21for Kilmarnock
00:51:26looking a tad concerned
00:51:27is Steven Presley
00:51:29side seeking an equaliser
00:51:33to your right
00:51:37back on to right
00:51:39here's your gap
00:51:40he's a threat
00:51:42and he's breezed past
00:51:44Brandon
00:51:44it's all about the delivery
00:51:46it's a good one
00:51:47and Simon Murray
00:51:50nets to equalise
00:51:51as he did last weekend
00:51:52it's 1-1
00:51:58it was all about the quality
00:51:59of the cross
00:52:00and Simon Murray
00:52:01simply met it
00:52:02and guided it by
00:52:03on Kelly Roos
00:52:05nicely done by Murray
00:52:07and Dundee
00:52:08are level
00:52:11Hamilton
00:52:12O'Gant
00:52:13Murray
00:52:16playing better
00:52:17since the equaliser
00:52:18Dundee
00:52:20overlapping run
00:52:21came from Halliday
00:52:22but it wasn't used
00:52:24Dundee
00:52:26Hamilton
00:52:27fancies his chances
00:52:28that's got pace
00:52:29in it
00:52:29Murray
00:52:292-1
00:52:30Dundee
00:52:32Kelly Roos
00:52:33couldn't hold it
00:52:33and Simon Murray
00:52:35silences the home crowd
00:52:39Hamilton
00:52:40played it through
00:52:41there will be a check
00:52:42for offside
00:52:43just wondering if he went
00:52:44a tad too early
00:52:46well the goalkeeper
00:52:48should have done
00:52:49an awful lot better
00:52:50Simon Murray
00:52:50did his part
00:52:54well he enjoyed
00:52:55the celebration too
00:52:56but it doesn't count
00:52:59not much in that
00:53:01but enough
00:53:03now
00:53:03side side
00:53:04take the lead
00:53:05almost behind
00:53:07if he ever
00:53:08rolling out
00:53:09Simon Murray's second
00:53:11it's days
00:53:14here you go
00:53:15back to Kilti
00:53:16nicely done
00:53:18that's a way
00:53:18outside the box
00:53:19only as far as
00:53:20Schoening
00:53:20Larson
00:53:24Kelly regained
00:53:25the lead
00:53:27and that's a
00:53:28fine finish
00:53:31well it's the
00:53:32second
00:53:32Kelly goal
00:53:33having scored
00:53:34against
00:53:34Hearts
00:53:34in March
00:53:36nets against
00:53:37Dundee
00:53:38in April
00:53:39lovely move
00:53:40from Kelly
00:53:41the clearance
00:53:41was far from
00:53:42ideal
00:53:42and that
00:53:44is how you
00:53:44punish a team
00:53:45for a bad
00:53:46clearance
00:53:47Kelly lead
00:53:55and Dundee
00:53:56came into
00:53:56today
00:53:57with a five
00:53:58point advantage
00:54:01struggling at the
00:54:03moment
00:54:03Google goes
00:54:05through
00:54:05good block
00:54:06from the goalkeeper
00:54:07sent back
00:54:08across
00:54:09the clearance
00:54:11that wasn't
00:54:12an easy one
00:54:13for Joe
00:54:13Cottrell
00:54:18Lemery almost
00:54:20inadvertently
00:54:21knocked this
00:54:21home
00:54:23again
00:54:23Kilmarnock
00:54:24get in
00:54:24behind
00:54:24Dundee
00:54:25McCracken
00:54:25did well
00:54:26and that
00:54:27nearly went
00:54:28wrong
00:54:28for Dundee
00:54:33but
00:54:34doesn't
00:54:34realise
00:54:35there's a
00:54:35man in

00:55:52it is
00:55:52Scott
00:55:53right went
00:55:54down
00:55:57well the cross
00:55:58looked a little
00:55:58high
00:55:59but there was a
00:56:00push
00:56:00Scott
00:56:00right
00:56:01taken out
00:56:01the game

00:56:03doesn't hesitate
00:56:04to point to
00:56:05the spot
00:56:07and Dundee
00:56:08have a chance
00:56:08to win it
00:56:10well this is
00:56:10being checked
00:56:11by VAR
00:56:13and it's
00:56:14taking some
00:56:15time
00:56:15Jamie
00:56:15Brandon
00:56:17will be
00:56:17hoping for
00:56:18a reprieve
00:56:22there has
00:56:22been an issue
00:56:23with VAR
00:56:24and it's
00:56:25the referee
00:56:25who's checking
00:56:26this offside
00:56:26call
00:56:27and he's
00:56:29going to
00:56:29stand by
00:56:30his decision
00:56:33Joe Wesley
00:56:34this for the
00:56:35win
00:56:36Bruce with
00:56:36a save
00:56:40Dundee
00:56:41denied
00:56:41at the
00:56:41death
00:56:42and it's
00:56:42thanks to
00:56:43the Kelly
00:56:44goalkeeper
00:56:44Kayla
00:56:45Bruce
00:56:46the full-time
00:56:47whistle
00:56:48goes at
00:56:48Rugby
00:56:49Park
00:56:50it will
00:56:50end
00:56:512-2
00:56:51and having
00:56:53been behind
00:56:53Dundee
00:56:54will be
00:56:54happy
00:56:54but they
00:56:55could have
00:56:55had all
00:56:55three points
00:56:58it's a
00:56:58ridiculous
00:56:59situation
00:56:59when the
00:56:59referee's
00:57:00got to
00:57:00come over
00:57:00and he's
00:57:02got to
00:57:02judge
00:57:02whether
00:57:04it's
00:57:04offside
00:57:04or not
00:57:05I think
00:57:06it was
00:57:06offside
00:57:07I don't
00:57:08think it's
00:57:08a penalty
00:57:08either
00:57:10VAR have
00:57:11looked at
00:57:11it and
00:57:12they've not
00:57:12overturned it
00:57:13they've backed
00:57:13the referee's
00:57:14decision
00:57:14but I just
00:57:15think it's
00:57:15so soft
00:57:16when you
00:57:17look at it
00:57:17and you
00:57:18analyse it
00:57:18I felt
00:57:19we deserved
00:57:19more from
00:57:19the game
00:57:20but the
00:57:21way it
00:57:21went there
00:57:21at the
00:57:21end
00:57:22might not
00:57:22have been
00:57:22a bad
00:57:22point
00:57:23obviously
00:57:23it was a
00:57:23great
00:57:24opportunity
00:57:24to claim
00:57:25all three
00:57:25points
00:57:26but I
00:57:28think the
00:57:29situation
00:57:29of the
00:57:30wait for
00:57:30six minutes
00:57:31seven minutes
00:57:32before the
00:57:33decision's
00:57:34made is
00:57:36simply not
00:57:36good enough
00:57:37and I don't
00:57:37blame the
00:57:38officials for
00:57:38that
00:57:39and of
00:57:39course
00:57:39then Joe
00:57:40Wester has
00:57:40to wait
00:57:41six seven
00:57:41minutes
00:57:42prior to
00:57:43taking the
00:57:43penalty
00:57:44kick
00:57:44so it's
00:57:45far from
00:57:45ideal
00:57:46obviously
00:57:47it's
00:57:47disappointing
00:57:47missing
00:57:48the last
00:57:48minute
00:57:49penalty
00:57:49but I
00:57:49think at
00:57:50the same
00:57:50time
00:57:50it's a
00:57:51decent
00:57:51point
00:57:52brilliant
00:57:53game
00:57:53at Rugby
00:57:54Park
00:57:54both teams
00:57:54going for
00:57:55it
00:57:55today
00:57:55let's
00:57:56look at
00:57:56this
00:57:56seven
00:57:57eight
00:57:57minute
00:57:58Varcheck
00:57:58for a
00:57:59penalty
00:58:00Neil McCann
00:58:01there saying
00:58:01he didn't
00:58:02think it
00:58:02was a
00:58:02penalty
00:58:02and he
00:58:03thought
00:58:03it was
00:58:03offside
00:58:04give us
00:58:05your thoughts
00:58:05Stephen
00:58:05I would
00:58:06have been
00:58:06the first
00:58:07player to
00:58:08get this
00:58:09penalty
00:58:10but it's
00:58:10not a
00:58:11penalty
00:58:11for me
00:58:11I think
00:58:13Brandon
00:58:13just uses
00:58:14his body
00:58:15to shield
00:58:16him
00:58:16and push
00:58:16him under
00:58:17the ball
00:58:17or away
00:58:19from the
00:58:19ball
00:58:20that's my
00:58:21take
00:58:21at this
00:58:22stage of
00:58:22the game
00:58:22I do
00:58:23also think
00:58:23he's
00:58:24offside
00:58:24but
00:58:26Brandon
00:58:26just gets
00:58:27himself
00:58:27in a
00:58:27good
00:58:27position
00:58:28blocks
00:58:28him
00:58:28from
00:58:29making
00:58:29any
00:58:30movement
00:58:30towards
00:58:30the
00:58:30ball
00:58:30I don't
00:58:31think
00:58:31it was
00:58:32enough
00:58:32to
00:58:32collapse
00:58:32his
00:58:33legs
00:58:33there's
00:58:33not
00:58:34enough
00:58:34for
00:58:34a
00:58:34penalty
00:58:34for

01:05:54the United
01:05:54defence
01:05:56turns inside
01:05:57you knew
01:05:57right from
01:05:58when he
01:05:58collected
01:05:59the ball
01:05:59what he
01:05:59wanted to
01:06:00do
01:06:09Ajit
01:06:10Ferry
01:06:12creates a
01:06:13bit of
01:06:13space
01:06:14all the way
01:06:15through
01:06:15until Wilson
01:06:17heads it
01:06:18behind for
01:06:18a United
01:06:18corner
01:06:39and that's a
01:06:40superb header
01:06:41from the
01:06:42substitute
01:06:44just inches
01:06:45away from
01:06:46Montano
01:06:46finds the
01:06:48space
01:06:51United want
01:06:52to go for
01:06:54three wins
01:06:56consecutively
01:06:57for the first
01:06:58time since
01:06:58October 2021
01:07:02the layoff
01:07:04Sapsford
01:07:06you'd at least
01:07:07count on him
01:07:07hitting the
01:07:07target from
01:07:08there
01:07:10Ferry's corner
01:07:11creating
01:07:12trouble

01:07:28Sapsford
01:07:28in front

01:07:33Sapsford
01:07:34fouled
01:07:35Chris
01:07:37Graham
01:07:37points to
01:07:38the penalty
01:07:38spot
01:07:39and Sapsford
01:07:40comes across
01:07:41Kabongo
01:07:41goes to
01:07:42swipe the
01:07:42ball away
01:07:43and he
01:07:43knew
01:07:43almost
01:07:44immediately
01:07:46big
01:07:47moment
01:07:47for
01:07:48Zach
01:07:48Sapsford
01:07:49up he
01:07:50steps
01:07:51and
01:07:52scores
01:07:54Dundee
01:07:55United
01:07:55do it
01:07:56the hard
01:07:57way
01:07:57Jim
01:07:59Goodwin
01:07:59still feeling
01:08:00the frustrations
01:08:01he knows
01:08:02the Tangerines
01:08:03have been
01:08:04let off
01:08:05in a sense
01:08:06the kisses
01:08:07to the crowd
01:08:08Dundee
01:08:08United
01:08:093
01:08:09Livingston
01:08:102
01:08:11we probably
01:08:12stole the
01:08:13points in
01:08:13the end
01:08:13the first
01:08:15half we were
01:08:15relatively
01:08:16comfortable
01:08:17Livingston
01:08:17didn't really
01:08:18carry any
01:08:19threat
01:08:19at half
01:08:20time I was
01:08:20quite relaxed
01:08:21I didn't see
01:08:22that start
01:08:23to the second
01:08:23half coming
01:08:24two really
01:08:25poor goals
01:08:26from our
01:08:26point of view
01:08:27but going
01:08:27forward we
01:08:28always carry
01:08:29an attacking
01:08:29threat
01:08:30it wasn't a
01:08:30pretty game
01:08:31at all
01:08:31albeit there's
01:08:32five goals
01:08:32in it there
01:08:33plenty of
01:08:33entertainment
01:08:34for the
01:08:35fans
01:08:35but it's
01:08:36three points
01:08:37it keeps us
01:08:37in seventh
01:08:38position
01:08:39we get
01:08:39anything
01:08:40out of
01:08:40games
01:08:40when you're
01:08:40giving away
01:08:41punnet kicks
01:08:41like that
01:08:42and also
01:08:42their second
01:08:43goal we should
01:08:43do a lot
01:08:44better
01:08:44we made
01:08:44substitutes
01:08:45to make
01:08:45ourselves
01:08:45bigger
01:08:46and ultimately
01:08:47we're bullied
01:08:48not for the
01:08:48first time
01:08:49this season
01:08:49the boys
01:08:49are up in
01:08:50the back
01:08:50of our
01:08:50net
01:08:50so
01:08:51you come
01:08:52to
01:08:52Dundee
01:08:52United
01:08:53a real
01:08:53difficult
01:08:54venue
01:08:54the picture
01:08:55was difficult
01:08:55but I thought
01:08:56the boys
01:08:56going forward
01:08:57especially
01:08:57the start
01:08:58of the
01:08:58second
01:08:58half
01:08:58when we got
01:08:58those two
01:08:59goals
01:08:59were very
01:08:59good
01:09:00but again
01:09:00you can't
01:09:01concede
01:09:01three goals
01:09:01away from
01:09:02home
01:09:04late
01:09:04late
01:09:05drama
01:09:05at
01:09:05Anadise
01:09:06Stephen
01:09:07looked for
01:09:08a minute
01:09:08there
01:09:08that
01:09:08Livy
01:09:09might
01:09:09finally
01:09:09get
01:09:09that
01:09:10win
01:09:10they were
01:09:10just 15
01:09:11minutes
01:09:11away
01:09:11from it
01:09:12but
01:09:12credit
01:09:13United
01:09:13as Jim
01:09:13said
01:09:14it was a
01:09:14disappointing
01:09:15start to
01:09:15the second
01:09:15half
01:09:16but they
01:09:16kept going
01:09:17and they
01:09:17always do
01:09:17carry that
01:09:18threat
01:09:18don't they
01:09:18in the
01:09:18box
01:09:19they do
01:09:19their recruitment
01:09:20has been
01:09:21good
01:09:21they've got
01:09:22a threat
01:09:22going forward
01:09:24I think
01:09:24for
01:09:25Dundee
01:09:26United
01:09:26and Jim
01:09:27Goodman
01:09:27as much as
01:09:28he'll be
01:09:28disappointed
01:09:28not making
01:09:29the top
01:09:29six
01:09:29he'll be
01:09:31he gives
01:09:32them time
01:09:32to plan
01:09:32for next
01:09:33season
01:09:33and I
01:09:34think
01:09:34the last
01:09:35couple of
01:09:35seasons
01:09:35have been
01:09:36very good
01:09:36he'll now
01:09:37next season
01:09:38want to
01:09:38push on
01:09:39again
01:09:39It was
01:09:40Lewis Smith
01:09:40that got
01:09:40the double
01:09:41that put
01:09:41Livy ahead
01:09:42in the game
01:09:43good goals
01:09:44from his
01:09:45point of view
01:09:45from Dundee
01:09:46United
01:09:46he's really
01:09:47poor defensively
01:09:47Really poor
01:09:48and I think
01:09:49as Marvin
01:09:50said
01:09:50Livingston
01:09:50was very
01:09:51poor defensively
01:09:51as well
01:09:52but this
01:09:53is probably
01:09:54the biggest
01:09:54thing I think
01:09:55since Marvin
01:09:56Bartley's
01:09:56taken over
01:09:56that's happened
01:09:57they're more
01:09:58of a threat
01:09:58they've scored
01:09:59a living goal
01:10:00since he came
01:10:00in
01:10:02they're not
01:10:03going behind
01:10:04and then not
01:10:05showing much
01:10:05of an attacking
01:10:06threat
01:10:06they are always
01:10:07in games
01:10:08as you've seen
01:10:09last week
01:10:09and then
01:10:10today was the
01:10:11same
01:10:11they create
01:10:13chances in games
01:10:14Noobly coming
01:10:14back in
01:10:15definitely helps
01:10:15him
01:10:16Lewis Smith
01:10:17has shown
01:10:18more and more
01:10:19potential
01:10:19he's grown
01:10:20into a squad
01:10:21it's been a tough
01:10:22season
01:10:22but he's grown
01:10:23individually
01:10:25the biggest
01:10:25frustration
01:10:26for Marvin
01:10:26Bartley
01:10:27is defensively
01:10:27they give
01:10:28up
01:10:28terrible goals
01:10:30I mean
01:10:30he mentioned
01:10:31it there
01:10:31you come
01:10:33away from
01:10:33home
01:10:33and you
01:10:33score
01:10:34two goals
01:10:34which is
01:10:35brilliant
01:10:36for an
01:10:36away
01:10:36performance
01:10:37generally
01:10:37you'd expect
01:10:37to get
01:10:38something out
01:10:38of the game
01:10:38but to concede
01:10:39three
01:10:39and they're
01:10:40really sloppy
01:10:40think back
01:10:41to the red
01:10:41card
01:10:42in Kilmarnock
01:10:42game
01:10:43very sloppy
01:10:44cheap red
01:10:45card
01:10:45today the
01:10:46penalty
01:10:46they give
01:10:46away
01:10:46is very
01:10:47cheap
01:10:47it's all
01:10:47avoidable
01:10:48and it's
01:10:48probably
01:10:49stuff out
01:10:49with his
01:10:50control
01:10:50which is a
01:10:51big
01:10:51frustration
01:10:53United
01:10:53fair enough
01:10:54they rallied
01:10:55right to
01:10:55the death
01:10:55they get
01:10:56this penalty
01:10:56kick
01:10:57I've got a
01:10:58wee bit of
01:10:58sympathy for
01:10:59him because
01:10:59I don't think
01:10:59he sees
01:11:00Sapsford out
01:11:01the corner
01:11:01of his eye
01:11:02or does he
01:11:02or do you
01:11:02think he
01:11:03should do
01:11:03better here
01:11:03no but I
01:11:04think when
01:11:04you're not
01:11:05in a great
01:11:06position
01:11:06body shape
01:11:07and knowing
01:11:08your surroundings
01:11:09you can't
01:11:09take the risk
01:11:10and that's
01:11:10ultimately what's
01:11:11happened
01:11:11he's swung
01:11:12Sapsford in
01:11:13earlier and it's
01:11:14not as if he
01:11:15just knocked
01:11:15out the pitch
01:11:15he's kept
01:11:16it in play
01:11:18and it's a
01:11:19tight angle
01:11:19it's a soft
01:11:20it's a clear
01:11:21I've got a
01:11:22wee bit of
01:11:22sympathy for
01:11:22him
01:11:23and a striker
01:11:26I do
01:11:28but yeah
01:11:28tucked away
01:11:29and it was a
01:11:29comfortable finish
01:11:30I mean
01:11:31that's United
01:11:31on 40 points
01:11:32they'll look
01:11:32back
01:11:33they've had
01:11:3313 draws
01:11:34this season
01:11:35and there's
01:11:35been so many
01:11:36cheap
01:11:36kind of goals
01:11:37they've given
01:11:38away a lot
01:11:38of goalkeeping
01:11:38errors
01:11:39or defensive
01:11:39errors
01:11:39look at
01:11:40the derby
01:11:40there
01:11:41they'll look
01:11:41back on
01:11:4213 draws
01:11:42and think
01:11:43to themselves
01:11:43it should
01:11:44have been
01:11:44another top
01:11:44six finish
01:11:45yeah
01:11:45but I think
01:11:46where they've
01:11:47been in the
01:11:48job Jim
01:11:48Goodman's
01:11:49done
01:11:49it's
01:11:50progression
01:11:50they're
01:11:51progressing
01:11:51well
01:11:52they're
01:11:52building
01:11:52I think
01:11:53if you think
01:11:54how much
01:11:54the squad's
01:11:55changed
01:11:56in this time
01:11:57as well
01:11:57and that's
01:11:57why
01:11:58when you take
01:11:59a step
01:11:59back
01:12:00they are
01:12:00safe
01:12:01they're not
01:12:01in the top
01:12:02six
01:12:02but they can
01:12:03now build
01:12:03for next
01:12:04season
01:12:04understand
01:12:05who they
01:12:05want
01:12:05the squad
01:12:06where they
01:12:06need to
01:12:06improve
01:12:07maybe give
01:12:08some players
01:12:08that haven't
01:12:09as many
01:12:09minutes
01:12:09a bit more
01:12:10minutes
01:12:10and the
01:12:11key for
01:12:11Jim
01:12:11Goodman's
01:12:12to keep
01:12:12the motivation
01:12:13there in
01:12:13games
01:12:14that aren't
01:12:14going to
01:12:14have a lot
01:12:15of meaning
01:12:15the derby
01:12:16is going
01:12:16to be
01:12:16a meaningful
01:12:17game
01:12:18living out
01:12:1912
01:12:19I drift
01:12:20out of
01:12:20the bottom
01:12:21they'll keep
01:12:22going
01:12:22they'll keep
01:12:22trying
01:12:23but it's
01:12:23basically
01:12:23just delaying
01:12:24the inevitable
01:12:25now isn't it
01:12:26yeah
01:12:26but again
01:12:27it's similar
01:12:27to the
01:12:27United
01:12:28I think
01:12:28Marvin
01:12:29Bartley
01:12:29went in
01:12:30put his
01:12:30own
01:12:30stamp
01:12:31on it
01:12:31he's been
01:12:32unfortunate
01:12:32we're
01:12:32through
01:12:32things
01:12:33but I
01:12:34think
01:12:34if he's
01:12:35the man
01:12:35to take
01:12:35them
01:12:35forward
01:12:35which I
01:12:36think
01:12:36he's
01:12:36done
01:12:36a good
01:12:36job
01:12:37he should
01:12:37keep his
01:12:38job
01:12:38and build
01:12:38a figure
01:12:40down
01:12:40okay
01:12:40okay
01:12:42let's have
01:12:42a wee
01:12:42look at
01:12:43the table
01:12:45so
01:12:46Hearts
01:12:47top
01:12:47on 70
01:12:48points
01:12:49Celtic
01:12:49second
01:12:50on 67
