00:00Well around 15 miles separate Dunfermline and Falkirk on either side of the 4th of the 4th, they have more

00:07localised rivalries

00:20see who will be back here next month in the final with James McPadden and Liam McLeod

00:26Well around 15 miles separate Dunfermline and Falkirk on either side of the 4th of the 4th, they have more

00:34localised rivalries in the central lowlands and the Kingdom of 5

00:38but this fixture has long had an edge to it as it returns to Hampden for the first time in

00:4517 years

00:49The powers have swept Big Fish's Ivernian and holders Aberdeen aside en route to their 8th Scottish Cup semi-final

00:57If they are to get to a 6th final, they're going to have to overcome one of the stories of

01:02the season

01:03in John McLean's Bairns who have guaranteed themselves their highest league placing since 1995

01:10after what has been an outstanding return to the top table

01:15Falkirk last lifted the trophy in 1957 and there's an argument that they won't have a better chance

01:21of ending an almost 70-year wait to win it with an out-of-sort Celtic

01:25are League Cup winners but relegation threatens St Mirren

01:29awaiting they or the Pars in next month's showpiece

01:34Legendary status is on the line

01:40Neil Lennon rested most of his team for the comeback draw with Eardrionians on Tuesday

01:45with that 11 very close to the team that started against Aberdeen in the quarters

01:50Andrew Todd is their top scorer with 16 goals

01:53Cain's on 10

01:55there's no Oli Thomas who scored 2 of their 3 against the holders

01:59he injured a thigh muscle against Wraith Rovers

02:01and has been back at Pairing Club Bristol City

02:04receiving treatment

02:05local boy and Unferment fan Matty Todd was superb against Aberdeen

02:09and it was he who set them on their way

02:17Captain Donaldson and Keelan Adams drop out to the Falkirk team

02:20that threw away a 2-0 lead against Rangers last week

02:23before the floodgates opened

02:25Connor Allen plays for the first time since the defeat at Hearts in February

02:29and Leon McCann also returns

02:31Barney Stewart scored 8 times on loan at East End Park earlier this season

02:35and that set the tone for his blistering return to the Bairns

02:39where he has scored 10 times in 16 appearances

02:48well twice Scottish Cup final referee

02:50John Beaton will preside over things on the pitch

02:52with Andrew Dallas and Greg Aitken

02:55supporting him on fire this afternoon

03:05what a season it's been for Calvin Miller

03:09who is one of five starters for Falkirk this afternoon

03:14who started a 2-2 draw with Kelty Hearts in League 1 two years ago

03:19and a huge bonus for Dunferment of Jeremiah Chiloko and Mullin

03:24and Andrew Todd available given they were picked outs

03:34in the Glasgow sunshine a place in the 2026 Scottish Cup final

03:40is at stake

03:41can eight-time winner Neil Lennon do what Jockstein and George Farne did in the 1960s

03:46and take the trophy back to Fife

03:48or can John McGlynn

03:49he was assistant at Hearts when they won it in 2006

03:53cap a dream season back in the top flight

03:56by securing silverware

03:58and the prize of European football

04:00that comes with it

04:01James McFadden

04:02yeah well Falkirk what a story it's been

04:05what a job John McGlynn

04:06has done at the club

04:07to bring them from League 1

04:09into the Premiership

04:10to get that top six finish

04:11in the Scottish Cup semi-final

04:13I mean Falkirk fans will be in dreamland

04:15but it could get so much better for them

04:17this season

04:18against a young hungry Dunfermline side

04:21led by Neil Lennon

04:22another team that are on the way up

04:25and this is the tie I was looking forward to the most

04:27before the draw

04:28this was the tie I wanted

04:29two teams of fan bases

04:31that really don't like each other

04:33but two young exciting teams

04:35that have plenty to be excited about

04:37and hopefully they serve up a treat for us this afternoon

04:43over the course of the last eight championship matches

04:46only St Johnston

04:48who look champions elect in the championship

04:50have collected more points

04:52than Dunfermline Appledic

04:53so they're in a good place

04:57other side from the rung below

04:59but it's two clubs that were

05:01wallowing

05:03in the Scottish football doldrums

05:05for far too long

05:06massive football clubs

05:08huge followings

05:09as James says

05:11this is certainly

05:13a fixture to whet the appetite

05:15and

05:16Neil Lennon knows

05:17what it takes

05:18to lift the Scottish Cup

05:21four times as a player

05:22four times as a manager

05:24and the 2001 was his first Scottish Cup lift

05:31who will settle

05:32the quicker

05:34ended away by Anguania there

05:37Kane heading on

05:39now

05:39Karen Morrison's end

05:40this could be the dream start

05:41for Dunfermline

05:42and he's blown it

05:46he's blown it big time

05:47the former Baird

05:51that's a huge opportunity

05:52early for him

05:53as you say

05:54former Falkirk man

05:55I thought he may well have been offside

05:56but he looks like

05:57he's timed that run perfectly

05:59enormously so composed

06:00in front of goal

06:01would have been a dream start for him

06:03because I'm pretty sure

06:04the Falkirk fans

06:05will be letting them know

06:06what they think

06:07almost a dream start

06:10for Dunfermline

06:13Kala Morrison

06:14was a huge part

06:14of the Falkirk team

06:15that won the League One title

06:16two years ago

06:21massive player for them

06:22that campaign

06:24and was for

06:26quite some time

06:30went away to Linfield

06:32after leaving Falkirk

06:34and Dunfermline

06:35in the winter window

06:37suspended for the quarterfinal

06:39against Aberdeen

06:40but

06:42that is a glorious opportunity

06:43you have to ask

06:44even just three minutes into this

06:46that came after two

06:47will he get a bigger one

06:48than that today

06:49you would expect

06:50the way Dunfermline play

06:51and certainly

06:52with Chris Kane

06:53being that focal point

06:54that he will get opportunities

06:55but it is a dream opportunity

06:57in such a huge game

07:01just shows you

07:02that they've got a chance

07:03to get in behind

07:04that Falkirk back line

07:06where we know

07:07they're going to be aggressive

07:08they're going to play high

07:10Kala Morrison

07:10definitely has the speed

07:11to exploit it

07:14it's a sore one for Liam Henderson

07:16and Chilocca Mullen

07:18the power skipper

07:20still high up the pitch

07:21but there's the opportunity

07:22for Morrison

07:25I have to say

07:26I was expecting him

07:26just to drive it

07:27for that far bottom corner

07:28yeah I mean

07:29as I said

07:30you mentioned his season

07:32Falkirk in League 1

07:33he was the goal threat

07:35for them

07:35and I'm sure

07:37he'd have been playing this

07:38that moment over and over

07:39in his mind

07:40hoping for an opportunity

07:41like that

07:41to get it so early

07:43you just expect him

07:44to find the back of the net

07:45but I don't think

07:46it will deter him

07:47he'll keep going

07:47I think he'll take it

07:48as a positive

07:49that he can get opportunities

07:50in the game

07:53feel of the ball

07:54for Conor Allen

07:55there

07:55here's

07:56Tate

07:57who's

07:58brought down as well

07:59but already

07:59the Furman are

08:01leaving their mark

08:02on the semi-final

08:09they've been on the rise

08:10and indeed

08:11both clubs

08:12have been researching

08:19this is Philip Lissat

08:21for Falkirk

08:23he's been another

08:24excellent addition

08:25to this

08:27Falkirk team

08:28as I mentioned

08:30earlier

08:30five of the starters

08:31started that league

08:33one game

08:33two years ago

08:34it's Kelty

08:35Harts

08:35Henderson

08:35Spencer

08:36Tate

08:37Yates

08:37and Miller

08:38all starting

08:39at Hampden today

08:43indeed

08:43Callum Morris

08:44who didn't miss

08:44that glorious

08:45opening there

08:47started for Falkirk

08:48that afternoon

08:49as well

08:49Liam Henderson

08:50has been in the

08:51wars early on

08:51here

08:52yeah

08:52the ball's in the air

08:53Chris Cairn

08:53just

08:54puts his arm back

08:55as he's jumping

08:57for the ball

08:58catches him

08:59squaring the jaw

09:03the life of a

09:04centre-back

09:05yeah

09:06it's something

09:07that Chris Cairn

09:08enjoys that

09:08physical

09:09side of the game

09:11loves this competition

09:13loves both

09:13cup competitions

09:16as Chris Cairn

09:18we started both

09:21cup finals

09:22for St Johnston

09:23five years ago

09:23he won the double

09:27I think

09:28there'll be people

09:28watching saying

09:29Chris Cairn

09:30throw his arm back

09:31and should maybe

09:32have been a bit

09:34stronger from John

09:35beating but I think

09:35he's using his leverage

09:36there's a little nudge

09:37on him from Brad

09:38Spencer just in front

09:39it's just a natural

09:41action to use your arm

09:43to get up

09:43sore one for Liam

09:44Henderson but

09:45I think that's the

09:46right call

09:46it's a foul

09:47no more

09:50the brightest of starts

09:53by Dunfermline

09:54started like a

09:55bullet train

09:56against Aberdeen

09:57in the last round

10:00and drove on

10:01from there

10:03Mollison losing out

10:05so Mavadi battling

10:07for it as well

10:18just calming everyone

10:19down

10:21it's very unlike

10:22Neil Lennon

10:23yeah

10:23I like him

10:24we know the fiery

10:25character he is

10:26but when you look

10:27at the young players

10:28that he has

10:29it is more about

10:31you know

10:31being relaxed

10:32and not getting

10:33too excitable

10:34but certainly

10:35won't be relaxed

10:35and don't put

10:37any effort

10:37in

10:42do as I say

10:43not do as I do

10:44yes

10:45very much so

10:55he's done well

10:55he's had to

10:57really rebuild

10:58throughout the season

11:00as Neil Lennon

11:01a very different

11:02squad

11:02from the one

11:03that started

11:04the campaign

11:04the League Cup

11:05groups

11:07they lost

11:07heavily at hearts

11:09early in the

11:09season

11:10indeed in the

11:11opening weekend

11:11back in July

11:14he's been

11:17building blocks

11:18in across the

11:18campaign

11:19the two windows

11:32the powers

11:33have started

11:33the better

11:36Roby Fraser

11:37over there

11:38on

11:40the left

11:41is it

11:42Tenguenya

11:43and then Amade

11:46Tenguenya

11:47looking for

11:47Kane

11:50still

11:50brilliant

11:55it's like

11:56he was

11:56boxed in

11:57yeah

11:57he did

11:58he took a

11:58heavy touch

11:59and it looked

11:59like it was

11:59going to run

12:00away from him

12:01manages to get

12:02turned

12:02little nutmeg

12:03it's a good

12:04striker

12:04player

12:04of course

12:05Neil Lennon

12:06this game

12:06would prefer

12:07that was

12:07higher up

12:07the pitch

12:08but

12:08when you're

12:09playing as

12:09that lone

12:10striker

12:10your job is

12:11to get a hold

12:11of the ball

12:12make sure

12:12you can get

12:13your team

12:13up the pitch

12:26both teams

12:27have earned

12:27their places

12:28in the semi

12:30final

12:35John McGlynn

12:36by the way

12:36is furious

12:37down on the

12:37touchline

12:38he is not

12:38happy with

12:39the start

12:39his team's

12:40made

12:40Matty

12:40Todd

12:41across

12:41Kane

12:42catches

12:43fresh air

12:44only

12:45I thought

12:46he should have

12:47taken a touch

12:47there

12:47that is a

12:48nice pass

12:49into the

12:50path of

12:50Chris Kane

12:50but

12:52need to get

12:53that arm

12:53sort of spot

12:54on

12:54maybe take

12:54the touch

12:55certainly

12:56because of

12:56the angle

12:57he's beyond

12:57that front

12:58post

12:58he made a

13:05superb start

13:06against Rangers

13:07last week

13:07Falker

13:28time

13:28that

13:28would have

13:29liked it

13:30to have

13:30been

13:31when

13:32Broggio

13:32on the

13:33far side

13:51he's eyeing up

13:56it's

14:18dilentate

14:20for a

14:21period

14:21of

14:21calm

14:22game

14:22Broggio

14:23to

14:23Lisa

14:37the

14:38eldest son

14:39of

14:39Andrew

14:39senior

14:40he

14:40played

14:40over

14:40300

14:41league

14:41games

14:41for

14:42Dunferland

14:44Lisa

14:44just

14:45trying

14:45to

14:45drive

14:45forward

14:45and

14:46they

14:47are

14:47being

14:47aggressive

14:48in the

14:48press

14:49Dunferman

14:49and maybe

14:50that's

14:50why

14:50Falk

14:51haven't

14:51been able

14:52to settle

14:52they're

14:52going man

14:52for man

14:53at the

14:53back

14:53three

14:54being brave

14:55and stepping

14:55in

14:56to a

14:57dangerous

14:57Falk

14:57up front

14:58three

14:58which

14:59allows

14:59them

14:59to

14:59go and

15:00get

15:00the

15:00press

15:00on

15:28and

15:30The receiving end against Tebbs, Seldi beat Dundee United the following day but the same score like.

15:38They took a very special Lee Griffiths goal to beat Falkirk that afternoon.

15:51A few years ago was a League One team beaten by Cali Thistle.

16:05Calvin Miller there trying to hold the ball up, hasn't had a kick yet.

16:12He is key for Falkirk.

16:15Yeah, he is, he's had a tremendous season.

16:18Looking forward to seeing him up against Chillicothe Mullen,

16:22because he's another young player with a massive future ahead of him.

16:25And you can see when it does come into Calvin Miller he's happy to go and get tight,

16:29he's playing as a right centre-back, he's happy to step into that area.

16:34So that is a battle, I'm looking forward to seeing how that develops throughout the game.

16:59Still a good chance this could be a Premiership fixture next season.

17:03Fairland very much in the mix when it comes to the promotion playoffs.

17:10Big championship games coming up later today.

17:13True coverage on BBC Radio Scotland of that.

17:18It's the semi-final is done and dusted.

17:21Particle is about to Airdrie, our Broth host Wraith knowing a home win would secure a playoff place.

17:31Particle is very hopeful that they can finish above our Broth having gone above them with that.

17:38Come back, draw the other night against Airdrie.

17:45They actually play that game in hand against St Johnston on Tuesday evening.

17:50Rearranged fixture.

17:52The title could be done and dusted in the next few days but the shake-up and the jostling for

18:01permission in the position for the playoffs still alive.

18:05Third and fourth and finish third you get the second leg of the quarter-final at home and that could

18:11be massive.

18:12I bet Dunfermline would rather be playing our Broth at East End Park in leg two of that rather than

18:19Gayfield.

18:20Yeah, it's still plenty of play for it.

18:21I know that people can look at it and say well the playoff positions are more or less settled but

18:29it is a big difference.

18:31Neil Lennon speaking about the fixtures, they've had to play and they want to make that as easy as they

18:38can.

18:38It's not that it's going to be easy because that a Broth are showing this season.

18:42What a good side they are as well.

18:47Yeah, it's still part-time, it's remarkable.

18:53Kane with the flick.

18:56Olsen's not going to get on to that.

19:04Little bit chest-like at the moment, a bit stop-start.

19:13Brad Spencer with the armband again called Donaldson ruled out with injuries.

19:17It's been a terrible season.

19:19The injuries for Donaldson, the Volker club captain he did.

19:24A brief return last week, starting 11.

19:34Brodgill, brilliantly done.

19:36Lisa is after it and he's being hauled to the deck.

19:39Clowns out.

19:46July scything through Brodgill.

19:48Yeah, I mean, Volker struggled to get control in the game.

19:53They're certainly getting into the rhythm because of the pressure of the fairman, but this is what they can bring.

19:58The ball out to Lisa, the one-two.

20:01If you're just a split second too late in the first challenge, then it creates the space.

20:05Lisa Abdelhaj's going over to try and make up for Fraser getting caught out.

20:10I mean, it's a foul all day long.

20:12It's rash.

20:13It's excellent from Lisa.

20:17When I said Brodgill, it was Philip Lisa.

20:19It was still, I was still in my head waxing about Brodgill's lovely layoff that got Philip Lisa in.

20:27He, as I said, on loan from Swansea, has been excellent.

20:31He's utilised the load market really well, John McGlynn, this season.

20:36He's utilised every market.

20:37Yeah, he will.

20:42So Miller and Spencer.

20:45It is Miller.

20:47It is Lisa.

20:53He's always on the stretch, Lisa, but he's in space.

20:55He gets up really early.

20:58Hang time from him.

21:00Dangerous delivery.

21:02See the space he's in.

21:03He just goes up a little bit too early.

21:10And that'll give Falkirk a lift.

21:12The fact of beating the press, got themselves in a dangerous area.

21:18Encourage them to keep doing it.

21:19It's a warning for confirming if you go press, make sure you go at the right time, make sure you

21:24do it right.

21:25As this Falkirk side will exploit you.

21:27Look at the speed that they have all over the, particularly in the wide areas, for them.

21:33There's Andrew Todd, for Morrison on the other side.

21:42The Walker fans revising the opportunity to be late.

21:47Callum Morrison, the man they used to cheer on in the stands.

21:54It's just an over-hit cross.

21:55Good play from Furman down the right-hand side.

21:58I think it's the right idea from Andrew Todd to just stand that up to the back post.

22:01Just over-hits it.

22:02Callum Morrison just running out the pitch to the delight of those Falkirk fans that he's right in front of.

22:09All right.

22:27All right.

22:30We're done.

22:38Earlier we are going on, we are making sure you bounce down on açık明 넌 principal castle.

22:39Take by Lisa, and now Brodhiel, against Nguenna, he's fed it to Lisa, and then, that's that Oxford wasn't sure,

22:53so he's tipped it over, and Falkirk up there first corner.

22:57Yeah, certainly the out ball for Falkirk, a little clip to Lisa again, Robbie Fraser just that little bit off,

23:03allows Falkirk to get down the right-hand side, Oxford are not taking any chances, a little deflection on the

23:09cross, but certainly, it seems to be the avenue for Falkirk to go and exploit.

23:18Dylan Take was out to Take.

23:27Short for Miller, teasing ball in, and then latched over the back, on the edge of the box by Spencer.

23:38It's a great ball in, defended well, just expecting that to come in, trying to disrupt the Furman back line,

23:46go on, there's really well, Brad Spencer's got the technique to get the target from there, just leaning back.

23:56It's a better period for Falkirk.

24:06A few of those Falkirk players have experience of playing here, having been in the side that faced Cali Thistle

24:13three years ago.

24:17Henderson, McCann, Yates all started today, it started that day.

24:25Miller, for Stuart, and Gwenya's there, mop up.

24:31He's been linked to the few clubs including Motherwell during the week, it's Kieran and Gwenya.

24:40Yeah, another one, I think you go through that, the Furman side, and the performance levels from every player has

24:47been outstanding, it's no wonder that there's interest in them.

24:53There's been a lot of standout performers in the championship this season, I think of Josh McPake at St Johnston,

24:58Findlay Marshall at our growth.

24:59Andre Todd here, we are watching today, Ben Stanway at Partick Thistle.

25:08There are others.

25:20Yeah, the PFA Scotland teams were announced yesterday, it seems to be coming earlier every season, it's just the middle

25:29of April.

25:33The season's nearly done, Liam.

25:37Are you trying to pick man of the match at half time?

25:39Don't start, don't start.

25:39No, you love it.

25:41You love it.

25:45It's not easy.

25:58It's a far better accolade to be voted by your peers than we picked man of the match then.

26:04Go!

26:07Go!

26:08Go!

26:10Go!

26:11Go!

26:12Go!

26:22Go!

26:23Go!

26:24Go!

26:26That's huge opportunity for these two clubs, I mentioned it right at the start, that it was Scott Bain, who

26:31takes his time,

26:33Tate was caught there.

26:36Play on, but a little bit of a left off for Scott Bain on that occasion,

26:41With it, it's a big let off.

26:42far too long

26:44on the ball

26:45turns up himself

26:46in the four seats

26:50and Andre Todd is down

26:54but we're saying there right at the start

26:55St Mirren won the League Cup

26:58you take 10th

26:59on a trophy I think for a club at St Mirren

27:01every single season

27:02they are still in a relegation battle

27:04looking decent under Craig McLeish

27:07but both these teams would fancy their chances

27:09against St Mirren and we know

27:11that this is not the all conquering

27:13all powerful Celtic that we've become

27:15used to seeing

27:17yeah I'm pretty sure that

27:19neither sets of players

27:21manager has looked beyond this game

27:22I think they look at what's in front of them and say

27:24you know they both deserve to be here

27:27absolutely and they both

27:28obviously got a chance first and foremost

27:30to get to a final

27:31but the belief will absolutely be there

27:34that they can go and

27:37dream scenario to lift

27:39the Scottish Cup

27:40I think they've offered both of them

27:41at the start of the season

27:42and says you're going to be in the semi-final

27:43you're going to be playing against you

27:45they're better rivals

27:46to get to the final

27:48absolutely

27:49dreamland

27:49just at the place they're in

27:50but they're here

27:51so they're absolutely in it to win it

27:57it's Lisa

28:00flick away by Matty Todd

28:03Miller's on to it

28:10he's got eight goals this season

28:13Calvin Miller

28:13most recent the penalty conversion

28:16against Rangers last week

28:17he's got eight assists as well

28:21he's got eight assists as well

28:21huge player for this

28:22bear inside

28:34out swinging corner

28:35from Calvin Miller

28:42important header away

28:48fantastic finish

28:49Matty Todd

28:50to open the scoring

28:51against Aberdeen

28:52in the quarters

28:58Stewart

29:00here by Anguena

29:01up and under from Tate

29:07here's Miller

29:10and that's well defended

29:12but you look at Mullin again

29:14demonstrating

29:16he is a crucial cog in Neil Lennon's

29:18starting eleven

29:20and massive bonus to have him

29:23available for this one

29:24because it didn't look likely

29:25at one point

29:26he was talking about it

29:28after last weekend

29:33that's huge

29:33to have him in the team

29:34I think

29:35you look at

29:36Andrew Todd

29:36he's got a lot of the headlines

29:37this season

29:38and right the salt

29:39for the goals that scored

29:40the impact it's had

29:41on the team

29:42for Chile for Miller

29:43it's been so powerful

29:45he said it earlier

29:46he will go on

29:48fantastic career

29:50what a great place

29:51to learn your trade as well

29:52under a manager

29:55Neil Lennon

29:58he sounded pretty downbeat

30:00about their chances

30:01of playing today

30:03after the defeat

30:04of Arctic Thistle

30:06elsewhere in the city

30:08last weekend

43:18Todd

43:52he

43:53he's

43:55he's

43:56he's

43:56a young man

43:56but that's

43:57the kind of

43:57thing you put

43:57down to good

43:58experience

43:58I mean

44:00Barney Stewart

44:01it's a poor

44:02fail to give away

44:03a really silly one

44:05because it looked like

44:06it's going to just

44:09try and get one and a half turn spinning and try and put the ball out

44:14it's a cheap foul to give away

44:18they've lost their last three scottish cup finals of Falkirk

44:2715 yards here for this week eh

44:33that always seems to get a pass for some reason

44:37the Falkirk beat the final in 97 beat by Rangers in 09 by Cali Thistle in 2015

44:45won their first one in 1913 won their second in 1957

44:54Fernland 2 looking to take the trophy back to the kingdom

44:59first time in a long time

45:04players in 61 and 68

45:09first one perhaps

45:12one of the big stories in the Scottish football history in April 1961 when Jock Steen

45:19and his players beat Jimmy McGrory's Celtic side which had a few young future Elizabeth

45:24Lyons in it like said Billy McNeil, John Clark, John Hughes and Stevie Chalmers

45:31they're going to beat Hearts under George Farm in 68

45:39that indeed was their last major honour

45:57well that one is a foul in fairness to John Beaton he's been trying to let the game flow

46:01yeah I don't think there's been any terrible challenges or ones where he's had to really intervene

46:09I think you have to rise early

46:11I mean it's all or nothing

46:13but yeah he has tried to let it flow

46:19yeah

46:21yeah

46:28yeah

46:30yeah

46:52There's a couple of minutes left in the opening 45.

46:57It's a high boot, Charlie Gilmore.

47:16It's accidental, but the left's always giving that.

47:20Yeah, absolutely, just nips in ahead of him, Dylan Tate.

47:38And he's on the can.

47:45Side step by Omade, there's Kane from Morrison.

47:50Spurned that wonderful opportunity just a couple of minutes into the semi-final.

47:54Can he affect things here?

47:58Blocked by Henderson.

48:02Might be desperate to start the second half so he can get in amongst the Fairmont fans.

48:08Yeah, the other half of the pitch will provide a real sanctuary for him.

48:18He's been getting it from the opening seconds.

48:20But he had that chance to silence the Bayerns with that opportunity.

48:26The early exchanges.

48:46See on Duncan Nicholson's board there, one minute at it.

48:59Such a big weekend.

49:00Scottish Cup semi-final weekend.

49:02Scottish Grand National weekend.

49:06World snooker getting underway as well.

49:12The crucible.

49:15Matty Todd for Omade.

49:17Andrew Todd.

49:19Blocked by Allen and away.

49:24I just wondered if he thought about the short there.

49:26Andrew Todd when it come back to him.

49:28He's trying to just put it back in the area.

49:32I know the angle isn't great but...

49:35He's definitely got the ability.

49:37He's the time for one last chance.

49:40Morrison across.

49:43Calmly dealt with by Lisa and John Beaton brings to an end.

49:48A relatively entertaining first half but a goalless first half.

49:53It's all eyes on Callum Morrison.

49:55He'll still be replaying that moment two minutes in when he was in on goal.

50:01And he lashed it wide at the left-hand side of the goal frame.

50:07Barney Stewart at a relatively tame header.

50:09Comfortably dealt with by Aston Oxborough at the other end.

50:13Not too many opportunities.

50:16But Morrison's is the pick of the bunch.

50:19And he's still, I think, berating himself for not taking it.

50:26Big second half to come here at Hampden.

50:30As these two fight for the right to face Celtic or St Mirren in next month's final.

50:35But it is goalless at the break at Hampden.

50:37And it's concussive Entscheid.

50:38It's an awful terrible moment.

50:40Excuse me.

50:40This is Barney Tower.
