This is not going to get Celtic fans excited

Scottish Football

Tam McManus doesn't think Liam Scales, James Forrest and Luke McCowan signing new deals will get Celtic fans excited. Both Roughie and Tam have tipped Hibs to cause an upset in the Edinburgh derby. Surprise! Surprise! Will teams be cherry-picking Motherwell's stars in the summer? Will Rangers give James Tavernier the perfect ending to his Ibrox career?

Transcript

00:00It's a sunny day in Scotland. Absolutely magnificent that you could join us. I'm Peter Martin.

00:06This is Tam McManus and this is Alan Ruff. Alan Ruff, the guy who's been to three World Cups.

00:12Been to about three holdies, I don't know.

00:14Well, not only that, but I have to tell you, before we even start with any of the facts of

00:18our sponsors,

00:20he just knows no bounds. His disloyalty to us knows no bounds because he's on another podcast.

00:29We've spotted him on Ian McCall's. I didn't even know he had a podcast.

00:33Ian McCall? Oh, Ian McCall? That was last year.

00:37God.

00:39Has it just come out there?

00:40It's just, honestly, I spotted it the other day there and I thought to myself, there's no, I mean, honestly.

00:44You wouldn't let your pals down if somebody asked you to do them.

00:48Well, can I tell you something? We are weeks away from the SDV podcast, aren't we, Tam?

00:55You'll eventually buckle.

00:56No, no, I don't grudge you.

01:02You're treachery knows no bounds, Ruffy. Anyway, was that a good holiday?

01:06It was. The first three days were pretty cloudy, but it was okay.

01:11It was just a change of scenery.

01:14It was just a change of scenery.

01:14And the people at the pool were lovely.

01:16And the other good thing about it from your...

01:19I'm not even going to go there.

01:20The other good thing about it from your own point of view, Ruffy, is you've obviously got to...

01:27You've obviously got to, I was going to say something there and it's completely and utterly gone from me.

01:35Coming to the end.

01:36No, no, you've got to...

01:40You've got 21 days to go.

01:42There's still a chance for you to sneak in another holiday, to be honest with you.

01:48I don't think we need to with the weather we've got out there. It's magnificent.

01:51It's absolutely fantastic. Yeah, you're absolutely right, Ruffy.

01:54Anyway, listen, great to have your company.

01:56We are live on YouTube, delighted to see.

02:00If you've got anything that you want to mention to us, then we're more than happy to hear from you.

02:06We're sponsored by Cameron Commercials.

02:08If you want a quality new or used van, then go to CameronCommercials.com

02:12and Sean Germain, he will help you out with that.

02:16Over and above that, the headlines sponsored by CancelMyParkingTicket.com

02:21and with that in mind, the main headlines, of course, two Celtic players have committed themselves to the club.

02:28We'll discuss that.

02:29Over and above that, the Edinburgh Derby is taking centre stage.

02:33Derek McInnes, well aware of what Hibs will want to do to try and stop the Tynecastle side winning the

02:40title.

02:40We'll be talking about the Tayside Derby as well.

02:42Jim Goodwin already saying that he needs Dundee in the top flight.

02:47So, give us your thoughts on that on a wonderfully sunny day.

02:50And with that in mind, with titles, everybody talking about it, we're going to try and mention as many people

02:56as possible.

02:57Hi to Willie, hi to Robert, hi to so many people who are talking to us on our live YouTube

03:05channel right now.

03:06So, great to have your company with us.

03:09The quiz, sponsored by Elite Joinery and Fire Protection.

03:15Which non-Old Firm player has won three top flight league winner's medals with three separate clubs?

03:22That's a belter of a question.

03:26Tam, there's a kind of a blank look on your face there.

03:30I take it this will be 80s then?

03:34Well, this is the thing about it.

03:36Looking at Dundee, United, Aberdeen.

03:38It's a player who's won three titles and he's a non-Old Firm player with three separate clubs.

03:47Where are you looking at me?

03:49There you are.

03:50Don't bother, we'll give you the answer by the end.

03:54So, it's a good question, isn't it?

03:56Fantastic question, yep.

03:57It's a brilliant, and the medal as well, Ruffin.

03:59I've got one of them.

04:00You've got one of those league winner's medals?

04:02Yeah.

04:02From the first division?

04:03First division, yeah.

04:04Yeah, brilliant.

04:05There you are.

04:05You still got it?

04:06Yes, definitely got that, yeah.

04:07Brilliant, okay.

04:09Thanks to so many of you who are going to have a wee go.

04:11You never asked me.

04:13No.

04:15Did you not get a runners-up in the cup?

04:17I have got a few.

04:18You've got four, haven't you?

04:19I've got several runners-up.

04:19They're all similar to that.

04:22I'll tell you another thing, Ruffin.

04:26Only they're gold.

04:28The other thing I was going to say to you, Ruffin, which you weren't privy to, is you missed

04:31a big game when Tam was playing.

04:33Oh, I know.

04:33How did it go?

04:34Tam was playing.

04:35Did you get the whole game?

04:36Absolutely hammered.

04:38Did you get subbed?

04:39Did you do the whole thing?

04:40I'm going to tell you, I've already said it on the show last week.

04:42So, basically, with me, Andy McLaren and Alan Gow, Kevin Harper, I think there was only

04:46Big Mark McLotland, a few ex-pros, but after 15 minutes, Stevie the bookie was basically

04:50picking the team.

04:51Yes.

04:52Still game.

04:54And 15 minutes into the game, we're getting beat 1-0 and I just heard the board going

04:57up.

04:57I seen the board going up and I went, surely no.

04:59I went, Tam, off you come.

05:01You went on for me.

05:03You don't mind if it's an ex-player?

05:04Yeah.

05:04Gredo.

05:08And by the way, by the way, not only that, Shell Suit Bob came on as a sub and scored.

05:16Oh, you couldn't make it up, Ruffy, honestly.

05:18It was absolutely priceless.

05:19But anyway, apart from anything else, it was a good day, wasn't it?

05:22Brilliant day.

05:23It was a great day.

05:24It was a good laugh.

05:24Guys are still sore.

05:25Two weeks later.

05:26Yeah, absolutely.

05:27Listen, we've got lots to talk about.

05:28I'll give you the answer to the quiz at the end.

05:31But the one thing I was going to say, Ruffy, so many of us, the fixtures for this weekend

05:37are looking forward to Saturday and Sunday.

05:39Aberdeen Kilmarnock, St Myrna against Livingston, Celtic Falkirk.

05:42And then on the Sunday, it's the Tayside Derby, Rangers-Mullaby, and then the Edinburgh

05:47Derby, which we're going to talk about, which is absolutely fantastic.

05:50As you can tell, the sun is shining.

05:52Ruffy, looking as if he's just come back from Rhodes.

05:55And Tam, clearly you've bought a batch of these Minion T-shirts, because that's the

06:00second one you've worn in two days.

06:03That is absolutely wonderful.

06:05There's a resale on the Penguin Shops of a few golf tops.

06:08Different colours, not all green.

06:10Absolutely.

06:11Listen, give us your thoughts on the quiz.

06:14Well done to Bert, who was absolutely on it as well, as far as the quiz is concerned.

06:20But let's talk about first and foremost.

06:22It's the game everybody's talking about, which is the Edinburgh Derby.

06:26No surprise, Derek McInnes, the Hearts manager, has been speaking and he knows exactly what's

06:32at stake for the Hibbies, who will be welcoming Hearts to Easter Road.

06:37I think for obvious reasons, the added ingredient of being the Derby makes things that bit more

06:44challenging.

06:45But it's challenging for Hibs as well, and we've got to expect that Hibs are fighting

06:49for their own motivation to finish in those European spots.

06:53But it's clear that we want to make sure that in front of their own supporters they can put

06:57a bit of damage onto us, and that's fine.

06:59That's the way it is.

07:01Yeah, he's well aware of what's at stake, Ruffy.

07:03It's a belter.

07:04I can't wait.

07:05He's going through with me.

07:06It certainly is.

07:07You know, I mean, Tom, as I've read his column, and obviously there are people out there who

07:12are giving their own opinion.

07:13But if you're a Hibby and you've played with Hibs, you know what's at stake here.

07:19You know what it's like in a one-to-one game, if you get beat, you know how much it's

07:25rubbed

07:25in and how much it goes on and on and on.

07:27So the onus is, obviously, is to win the game, first of all.

07:33I wouldn't go into the game, you know, with the back of my mind, right, if we win this,

07:36it means Hearts are only going to win the league.

07:38I'm like, Tom, I've played with Hibs for six years.

07:42I personally don't want Hearts to win the league, you know, because I've been on the end

07:45of so many doings from Hearts, and I know what it's like.

07:49You know, so when you're a Hibs player and you're a Hibs supporter, first of all, you

07:54want to do the best for your own team, but it's like any Derbys, the Rangers Celtic, Dundee,

08:00Dundee United, it all falls into the category.

08:02Nobody wants your opposition to be celebrating.

08:05Well, you know, Josh Taylor and Andy Murray, I clearly think it would be a good thing for

08:10Hearts to win the title.

08:11Yeah, but they never played for Hearts, or Hibs.

08:13They never actually put a jersey on and know what it's like to be in there.

08:17Nah, if I'm just looking for a bit of publicity.

08:23I'd love to know it, yeah.

08:24Give me Josh's number, we'll give you a good job.

08:26I'll give you, well, Tam could as well.

08:29I'll give you six or ten ex-Hibs players, and I bet you not one of them want Hearts to

08:35win the league.

08:37Yeah, well, listen, I think Derek McInnes is absolutely on that.

08:41I mean, you know what's at stake.

08:42There's a real edge to it, and lots of Hibs I've been speaking to are of the same opinion.

08:48They're not having any of that, wanting Hearts to win it.

08:51But the other thing I was going to say to you with regards to that is, thanks to Les,

08:55it says, Hibs to win 2-1.

08:58And Willie puts a very good point on this, is that Hearts can't win away from home.

09:02It's been months.

09:04I think they've got one point out of the last four games.

09:06So it is a problem for them, but it's 21 days to go, five games.

09:14It's all or nothing.

09:15I think Hearts, I don't know, you've obviously got to keep it cagey,

09:20but I think Hearts have got to throw caution to the wind on this.

09:22This is a different type of game to the one that they played the last time they were at Easter

09:26Road.

09:27Yeah, I think they've got to play a whole lot better than they played at Easter Road the last time,

09:30Peter,

09:30because they were fortunate to get out of there 3-2.

09:32I think if the thing was Mulligan, you should have squared it for 4-0.

09:36And then Hibs were rampant that day.

09:37That could have been a real hiding.

09:39So I think Derek, at the back of their mind, they've got to go and perform better than that.

09:43But I don't think it's going to be decided, roughly mentioned it earlier.

09:45I don't think if Hearts get beaten Sunday, they can't win the league.

09:49Because their next game, I think, is Rangers at home.

09:50So they can jump right back on the horse, they beat them, then they're back in it.

09:54So I think, obviously, a win is brilliant for them.

09:58And it would give them so much confidence and momentum.

10:00A defeat would obviously go the other way.

10:01But I don't think anything's going to be decided.

10:03Because I've said it continuously.

10:05I don't think any team out of the three of them is going to win all five games.

10:08I think there's points to be dropped.

10:09But I do think that Hearts and Rangers can afford to maybe drop a point or three points.

10:14I think Celtic are in a position now where they're chasing two clubs.

10:17I think Celtic are in a position where they've got to try and win five games.

10:21Or I think they won't win the league.

10:23So, yeah, it's going to be an exciting game.

10:26Obviously, Hibs are still in the mix to finish above Motherwell.

10:30And the atmosphere is going to be crackling.

10:32So, no, I'm really looking forward to it.

10:34And the Hibs fans are hoping that the players are going to put in a good performance and beat their

10:39big rivals.

10:39Yeah, you know when you come there, we're obviously going to do a wee bit live on TikTok.

10:43And we're going to do a wee bit.

10:44Because I'm a bit worried about you.

10:45You've decided that you're going to.

10:47This has got Liverpool written all over it for you.

10:50Liverpool is hospitality.

10:52Yeah, but you're away to Giuliano's with your mates, the Hibs.

10:55You're going to get in there.

10:56You're going to have a wee whine.

10:57They'll be having a chat.

10:58And then you're going to come out, rat us.

11:01No, that was not.

11:02Liverpool was different.

11:03Liverpool was basically three, baby.

11:07I think that video is still on YouTube somewhere.

11:09We were talking after the game.

11:10I can't even sing a sentence together at the rest of the time.

11:12But that was horrendous.

11:14It was a good day.

11:15But nevertheless.

11:16A five kickoff?

11:17A four.

11:18A four.

11:18That gives you enough time.

11:20Yeah, absolutely.

11:21It's overed up.

11:21Are you going?

11:23No, I haven't been.

11:24I haven't thought about it since I got back.

11:27Surely it's a game where you take the journey through, Ruffy, for God's sake.

11:31You can't see if you're your old mates.

11:33But again, I fall into the category as I don't want to go.

11:36If you're going to tell me Hibs have won 3-0, I'll be there at 12 o'clock.

11:39Yeah.

11:40If you're going to tell me Harts are going to win that game, I don't want to be there.

11:43You know, I just don't want to be there.

11:45I don't want to see it.

11:47I mean, as I say, I was there for six years and I know the rivalry.

11:50I know everything that goes well.

11:52I know the fallout of every game.

11:54I know the fallout of living in the place.

11:56You know, so if you were to tell me that Hibs were going to win the game, I'd gladly be

12:00there.

12:01So you don't think they're going to win it.

12:02That's why you're not going to win it.

12:03I think they are, actually.

12:04I really think they are.

12:05Oh, why are you not going to?

12:06Well, I've still got a couple of days to think about it, you know.

12:09Oh, do you know what that means?

12:11You don't understand Ruffy's speech.

12:13I'm waiting for somebody to invite me so I can get a starter, a main course and a suite.

12:17I'm waiting for a freebie.

12:18Oh, I just have to pick up the phone.

12:21I mean, I could be in the director's box.

12:24I could be looking at him waving his eyes.

12:28I'm sure that would be the case.

12:30If anybody's in that, if they want to bring Ruffy along for it, it would be absolutely fantastic.

12:35Hearts, Mark Leonard's back, which I think is a huge bonus for them.

12:40McIntyre's out for the season, as is Magnusson.

12:43But I like the point from Willie.

12:45He says, listen, I have to say, it's January 31st, the last Hearts away win.

12:53Their form's not great, Ruffy, on the road.

12:55No, but they've been getting that 1-0 and that getting it over the line and just, you know,

13:00the performance isn't important as long as you're getting points.

13:03And that's what they've been doing.

13:05They've been grinding them out, you know.

13:07But I'm always the assumption you can grind them out for so long and then all of a sudden

13:11that hits you in the face.

13:13And I always said that the home games are going to be important in this split.

13:17So if you can go away from home and pick up three points, it's a massive bonus.

13:23Massive bonus for Hearts, if Hearts go there and win that game.

13:26Yeah.

13:26Give me your thoughts, Tam, on the fact that, you know, if there's, not that there's an added incentive,

13:31we had Jack Iyer deal in here earlier on in the week where I thought he was absolutely magnificent.

13:35Great insight into the players, the fact that they've been chatting about it.

13:39They've got things to play for themselves.

13:41They've got the chance to, they're looking at it.

13:43And what a massive weekend it is for Hibs on the basis that if they win the game,

13:47suddenly they could be level with Motherwell because Motherwell have got a tough match at Ibrox against Rangers.

13:53And there's also the added incentive, a wee bit of sentimentality.

13:56You know, a farewell to Martin Boyle.

13:58He will be trying like a madman.

14:00Yeah.

14:01Listen, Martin's been a wonderful signing for Hibs.

14:04I think they've done a swap deal with Dundee for the boy Harris, which I think Hibs got the better

14:08of that deal.

14:09So Alex Harris, and he's been magnificent, you know, obviously part of the Scottish Cup winning team,

14:14you know, and scored a hat-trick against Rangers at Hampden.

14:17You know, he's been a wonderful player for Hibs.

14:18And this will be his last Edinburgh Derby and he wants to go out with a bang.

14:22As I said yesterday, he's been in and out of the team.

14:24But I think it's a game for experiences.

14:26Listen, Edinburgh Derbys are 100 miles an hour.

14:28But I just look at this one and think, with so much at stake, it's going to be 1,000

14:32miles an hour

14:33and you're only going to get a second on the ball.

14:34So I think it's, you know, you're looking for guys that have experienced it before,

14:38played in plenty of Edinburgh Derbys so they can stand up and they know what's coming,

14:42rather than people that are experiencing it for the first time.

14:44So, yeah, it's going to be a magnificent game, I hope.

14:47But I think that Martin Boyle will start.

14:49I think he'll start up front with Elding.

14:51I think they'll go and try and get in behind Hearts and test him down the flanks.

14:54Do you like Elding?

14:55I like Elding.

14:56As I said, I spoke to a few guys over in Ireland before he signed

15:00and they all raved about him.

15:02Jack Iredale thinks he's going to be a superstar.

15:04Yeah, I mean, the word that I was getting back was he's straight into the team at Hibs

15:07and I thought, it's only 18, he's playing in Ireland.

15:10I don't know if he's going straight into that at Hibs team.

15:11Hibs had some decent forwards there, he's been right into the team.

15:14And, you know, he looks a great prospect.

15:16So, I think him and Martin Boyle would cause Hearts all sorts of problems.

15:21And it's amazing, by the way, when you think, and let's not forget Souto as well,

15:25they're not talking about Kieran Bowie.

15:27There's been that smooth transition.

15:29Yep, they haven't been talking about it.

15:30And I think that Hibs needed to freshen up.

15:33I said that at the time, they needed to freshen up the forward line.

15:35You know, it just wasn't happening.

15:36Kieran Bowie left to get a big fee.

15:38They brought Souto in, they brought Dane Scarlett in and loan from Tottenham.

15:41And they brought Elding in and I just think it's gave everyone a lift.

15:44That freshness, that hunger of new players coming in.

15:48And, you know, they'll be hoping to go and do the business on Sunday.

15:51So, yeah, I think the Hibs have got the players, Jamie McGrath in behind there,

15:55to go and cause Hearts problems.

15:57But at the other end, Braga, Shankland,

15:59with two of the top goal scorers in the league,

16:01they're going to cause Hibs problems.

16:03So, it's set up for a Belton game.

16:05Yeah, and again, I think when they were asked about the referee,

16:10I didn't think it was going to be that important about it.

16:12Don Robertson is the match official.

16:13And I don't know about you, but I think he's a steady pair of hands.

16:17Yeah, I think he's top three.

16:19Is that good?

16:19Yeah, he's top three.

16:20I think he'd be particularly disappointed that him in particular

16:24never got a shout to be at the World Cup as a referee.

16:27I think the disappointing, you would have thought

16:29we would at least get one to be a representative of the country

16:34at the World Cup, and he would have been the one I'd have picked,

16:36you know, to go there.

16:38So, it's unfortunate, but they just have to go on it.

16:41I've asked everybody to give us their predictions on the feed as well, Ruffy,

16:45and of course, anybody in the comments section when you're watching.

16:49There's the great thing about watching the programme

16:50is you don't necessarily need to watch it live.

16:52We did bring it back, actually,

16:53just because people like having a go at each other.

16:55But people watching at their leisure throughout the night,

16:59near and far, the majority of the people who watch

17:02are actually based in the UK, love the regularity of it.

17:05There's a lot of people, expats, who watch it at their own leisure

17:09at a time that's ideal for them.

17:12So, thank you to so many of you for actually following us

17:15throughout the season.

17:15We really enjoy your support.

17:17And if you haven't yet subscribed, please do hit the subscribe button

17:21and come and join the PLZ family.

17:23We value it.

17:24The tough thing, Ruffy, is this is the toughest one yet.

17:27We're now two days away from it,

17:29and you're going to have to give us your prediction, Ruffy.

17:31Yeah, I think home advantage is going to be massive in this one.

17:34You know, obviously, it's an easy saying.

17:37First goal is always important.

17:38It will be important, you know, for Hibs.

17:40The place will erupt, you know, and if Hartz get it,

17:43they'll believe that it's a head start for them.

17:46I'm going to go for Hibs.

17:47I'm going to go for Hibs to win 2-1.

17:49Hibs to win 2-1.

17:51And does that, for you, there's a double-edged question,

17:53does that kill off Hartz?

17:54No, not at all.

17:55No, I'm right.

17:56You know, I don't think Hartz will lose points.

18:00I think Rangers and Celtic will lose points.

18:02I think Hibs, as we've already said,

18:04and Motherwell, have a lot to say to the games that come up.

18:07But I think the important ones are Celtic versus Rangers.

18:10Hartz versus Rangers and Hartz versus Celtic.

18:14Yeah.

18:15Declan says Hartz are due in a way win.

18:173-0 to Hartz.

18:18That's not an away win.

18:19That's an away mollocation.

18:22That's an absolute...

18:23She's obviously sitting in the garden with a laptop with a little vodka.

18:29I mean, listen...

18:30Get some mixer in that, Declan.

18:31Don says Hibs nil, Hartz nil.

18:34Listen, I just couldn't bear a nil-nil.

18:37It wouldn't surprise me, Peter.

18:38I was speaking to a couple of guys last night and talking about it.

18:43This game needs an early goal for me.

18:45If you want it, you can go and ignite and be a real spectacle.

18:48But if it's 60, 70 minutes, it's still nil-nil.

18:52You're going to see no-mistake football.

18:54And I've played in games like that where it's finished nil-nil,

18:56where it's a hot totty.

18:57Just get a debt.

18:58Don't make a mistake.

18:58Defenders, there's no passing through lines or quality.

19:03It's just, don't make a mistake.

19:04And that could be that.

19:05But hopefully you get an early goal.

19:07But I fancy Hibs as well, 2-1, Peter.

19:09Flying Haggis says Hibs 2, Hartz 1.

19:12That's what I fancy.

19:13Hibs 2-1.

19:13You know what?

19:14The more I think about it,

19:16the more that I think Hartz need to win it.

19:19I thought there was a wee sneaky feeling

19:21there might be an upset in this one.

19:23But I'm going to stick with,

19:26because you two are two hibbies,

19:28don't shake your head.

19:30I'm going to stick with Hartz to win it 2-1.

19:33Because I've tipped him to win the league, Ruffy.

19:36Will it be a well-earned 2-1

19:37or will it be a lucky 2-1?

19:41See, if it's a lucky 2-1.

19:42I'm going in to see it.

19:43I'm going in as well.

19:43I've got a press pass.

19:44I'm going to sit down and I'm going to film it.

19:46Yeah, you've got it.

19:47I don't need to see Derek that you're very lucky there.

19:48Yeah.

19:49No chance I'm saying it.

19:50No, can I tell you something right now?

19:52You just don't know me in a press conference,

19:54believe me.

19:55I've taken a few real heavy ones from them.

19:58But no, if he's lucky, I'm going to tell him.

20:00I go on, can we tell him?

20:02I mean, it's the end of the day.

20:03I mean, if you're lucky, you're lucky.

20:04There's many ways to be lucky.

20:05Yeah, if he wins the game,

20:07he'll no care what you say to him.

20:08You can say whatever you like.

20:10Yeah, absolutely.

20:11Listen, at the end of the day,

20:13if it comes off somebody's back end,

20:15deflects, somebody handles it,

20:16they get away with it,

20:17and they win 2-1,

20:18he'll no be caring.

20:19No, not at all.

20:20Let's hope it's not a VAR.

20:22Decision.

20:23Let's hope it's 11 players on the park at the end.

20:25I hope there's nothing controversial,

20:27and I hope we're talking about it.

20:29Some of the games,

20:29the Hibs Hearts games,

20:30some of the goals have been fantastic.

20:33Now, let's talk about it on Monday,

20:34let's talk about a fantastic winner,

20:37you know, rather than the negative stuff.

20:39I think discipline's going to be important as well, Peter.

20:41From the fans as well, do you think?

20:42Yeah.

20:43Listen, you're hoping the fans behave themselves

20:45because we've seen it at the Celtic Rangers game

20:47with the big away support,

20:48but they didn't.

20:49And Hibs and Hearts,

20:51there's been small incidents over the years,

20:54nothing major,

20:55no pitch invasions and stuff like that,

20:57so you're hoping that they behave themselves.

20:58But discipline on the pitch as well,

20:59I think for me,

21:00keeping the loving men apart is going to be crucial

21:01because it's going to be a feisty atmosphere

21:04and there's going to be tackles flying.

21:05Hearts getting the whole stand.

21:06Yeah.

21:08That's good, isn't it?

21:08Good atmosphere.

21:09That's good, isn't it?

21:09Two sensible clubs.

21:11Two clubs with a forward thinking, Ruffy.

21:13Mm-hmm.

21:13Yeah?

21:14Yeah, my good idea.

21:14Should I labour on it or should I just...

21:16No, just let it go.

21:17There's plenty of stewards there.

21:20Exactly.

21:21Horses.

21:22Have you got a minder to get you in?

21:25Somebody walk along the road where you get you in?

21:27No, he wants to go to...

21:28He's like,

21:29I'll meet you in Giuliano's

21:30and I'm thinking to myself,

21:32there's work to be done.

21:33I'm not walking along Easter Road,

21:35you know,

21:35with half an hour to go before kick-off.

21:38It's just a no-no, is it, Ruffy?

21:40I mean, the side streets will be chalk.

21:42You are, aren't you?

21:43You are taking a chance.

21:44Yeah?

21:44That was fine.

21:45Yeah.

21:46Okay, you're taking a chance.

21:48Okay, we've given you a prediction,

21:50you give us your prediction on that one.

21:52It's the Edinburgh Derby.

21:53So looking forward to it.

21:55That's Sunday.

21:55Are you happy with the 4.30 kick-off?

21:58Aye.

21:59Yeah.

21:59I think it's fine, aye.

22:00Yeah.

22:00Okay.

22:01Is that a holiday?

22:02No, that's next week.

22:03Yeah.

22:03Celtic against Falkirk.

22:05Callum McGregor says Celtic still have the edge

22:07in the title race.

22:08He reckons that Martin Ail has worked wonders,

22:11should be considered for the manager's job.

22:14And he also said he won't be staying at Celtic

22:16if the club don't match his ambition as well,

22:19which I think fair play to him on this

22:22because they have announced that two players

22:24have signed new deals.

22:25Luke McCowan has signed a new deal until 2028.

22:29Liam Scales signs a new deal until 2030,

22:33which is, that's a big commitment.

22:35First and foremost,

22:35what do you make of Callum McGregor's comments?

22:37Yeah, well, I think he's been there a long, long time

22:40and the success that he has.

22:42Just remind me,

22:43has he got the record amount of medals with Scott Brown?

22:45No, that's James Forrest.

22:47So he can't be far away.

22:48So he's been there with a humongous amount of success

22:52and winning finals.

22:54And when you get a year that you get this year,

22:57it must be disappointing for him.

22:59You know, everything hasn't been going particularly well.

23:01So he's human like everybody else.

23:03You know, I think he's just thrown a wee grenade out there

23:07to the owners to say,

23:08look, I play in every game.

23:11I love the club.

23:12I want to be the captain.

23:13I want to win medals.

23:15I want to win most of the games I play.

23:17And it's up to you.

23:18This year has been a disaster.

23:20You need to get your act together.

23:22Or I'll look elsewhere.

23:24Yeah.

23:24He doesn't want to be somebody

23:25who's just grinding down his time as a loser.

23:29No.

23:30I think that Callum's obviously used to unprecedented success at Celtic

23:34from day one, really.

23:36He's won everything at the club.

23:39And he wants the club to match his ambition.

23:41And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

23:43I remember, was it Wayne Rooney went into Alex Ferguson

23:45and asked for a transfer for that same reason?

23:48That he didn't see the quality coming in.

23:50And I think Fergie persuaded them to stay.

23:52But I think if you're a top player or a captain,

23:55you want your club to...

23:56You're rewriting history.

23:59I have to jump in there.

24:01It's not Wayne Rooney, chappity chap, hello.

24:04I want to know your ambition.

24:06Because Fergie said,

24:07I'll wait you and take a flying f*** to yourself

24:09and get out of the room.

24:10I'll decide who it says.

24:12It was a short conversation.

24:14But Rooney did go in and ask that question.

24:16Who was signing?

24:17But yeah, I think when you look at the quality

24:19and the players that Celtic have signed this season,

24:21I think Callum McGregor will be a wee bit scunnered.

24:24You know, he'll be looking for more quality,

24:26better players to come in and to help him.

24:28Because guys like him, I think,

24:30have been kind of hung out to dry this season

24:31with the players that have come in at Celtic.

24:33So he's used to play my real quality.

24:35And I don't think that's been there this year.

24:37So yeah, I think he's quite within his rights

24:39to ask the question, you know,

24:41are we going to be ambitious?

24:42Are we going to go and try and get into the Champions League again

24:45and do well in Europe?

24:46Or are we going to go backwards like we have this season?

24:48I mean, Kevin makes a good point.

24:50He says,

24:50Callum McGregor didn't actually say that he would leave.

24:52Sometimes it's what they say and the way they say it.

24:55And quite simply,

24:56as a captain who's been winning regularly,

24:58he will not want to wind down,

25:00you know,

25:01watching the team getting battered.

25:03Because the one key issue here,

25:05Ruffey,

25:05is when you get to that situation,

25:07you then start to hear fans taking the easy way out

25:11and the easy targets.

25:12And he'd become one of them.

25:13Yeah,

25:14again,

25:15if you're the Celtic captain,

25:16your career's going to finish sometime.

25:18And when your career finishes,

25:20you want to be remembered as the captain.

25:23You know,

25:23like obviously Scott Brown,

25:25Danny McGrane,

25:26Billy McNeil,

25:27you know,

25:27these guys,

25:28you know,

25:29will be remembered forever.

25:30And I think Callum's earned that right,

25:32you know,

25:33for the way he's come in as a young boy

25:35and moving up the ranks

25:36and obviously being captain.

25:38So I think at the end of the day,

25:39he'll want to be remembered as one of the,

25:41not saying the best,

25:43captains,

25:43but up there with the rest of them.

25:45Well,

25:46he's certainly,

25:46he's been different from Scott.

25:48Scott was a kind of a fiery character

25:51and combative.

25:52Callum,

25:53I think,

25:53is just sheer class.

25:55I just wonder how many years he's got left in his legs

25:58and whether he'll be looking and saying to himself,

26:00you know,

26:00maybe,

26:01maybe one more year and then go and get a payday somewhere.

26:03Yeah,

26:04I think the problem with Callum is the amount of games he plays

26:06and he always puts himself forward.

26:08He's very rarely injured.

26:09I think he's played 50 odd games a season.

26:11He usually plays between 50 and 60 games a season

26:13and that must take a toll on your body,

26:15Peter.

26:16I think he's carrying an injury.

26:17Yeah,

26:17I think he is at the minute.

26:18I think he's playing through it

26:19and I think that Martin O'Neill needs him in the team.

26:21I think just for his leadership qualities,

26:23even a 60,

26:2470% fit Callum McGregor,

26:26the better limit they've got in there.

26:27I'd love to,

26:28I'd love to ask him,

26:29you know,

26:31would at this moment in time

26:32be a regret for him

26:34saying he didn't want to play for Scotland

26:37to go to the World Cup

26:38because I think he's done everything in the game

26:40to justify going to a World Cup with Scotland.

26:43I know he was carrying,

26:44I know he was carrying an injury.

26:45He's retired before he would qualify.

26:47Yeah,

26:48I know,

26:48but I mean,

26:48I would wonder if he maybe

26:50in the back he'd regretting,

26:52you know,

26:52because I think he would have been a big player for us

26:55in that kind of style of football over there.

26:57Don't rule him out,

26:58by the way,

26:58because he could pick up an injury

27:00and they might go cap and hand to him.

27:02Yeah,

27:02yeah,

27:02I think they should.

27:03If that is the case,

27:04I'd be on the phone.

27:06Kaiser has said,

27:07beautiful day here in the Granite City,

27:09nay a cloud in the sky.

27:11I'm not very good at Aberdeen accents,

27:13but Kaiser,

27:14it's good to hear from you.

27:15Catherine is over in Spain.

27:17She says it's absolutely sunny,

27:19as you would expect.

27:21Someone else actually sent us a message

27:23and they were somewhere,

27:25Thailand,

27:25roasting as well.

27:27Does it actually rain in Thailand?

27:30Yeah,

27:30it depends on the time of the year.

27:32That's what they get a fair share,

27:34but they know it as they welcome the rain.

27:37Yeah.

27:38Because it's so warm,

27:39more than humid all the time.

27:40If the rain comes,

27:41it's a bonus.

27:42Yeah.

27:42I mean,

27:42another day there,

27:43there was just a slight hint of sun

27:45and I think the temperature

27:47was maybe around about nine or ten

27:50and I spotted somebody

27:51walking up the break

27:53with a t-shirt and the shorts on.

27:55I'm like,

27:56get a grip.

27:57It's not quite there yet.

27:58We are so starved of sunshine here.

28:00As soon as we get a bit of good weather,

28:02people get their taps off,

28:03they're sitting in the garden

28:03having a drink.

28:04It's brilliant.

28:04We enjoy the sunny weather.

28:06That's why we all go on holiday

28:08every year.

28:09And disproportionately,

28:09we buy convertibles

28:12compared to the weather we get.

28:13My wife's mad into convertibles.

28:15My wife is desperate for a convertible

28:16and I says,

28:17why would you?

28:17We had one when we stayed in America.

28:19I says,

28:19that was fine.

28:20Did you play football in America?

28:21I did.

28:22I played in Colorado for a year

28:23and then New York for a year or two.

28:25Car did you have?

28:28I got her a convertible Beetle.

28:29Oh, did you?

28:30Oh, really nice.

28:31She wasn't meant to be getting one

28:32because we'd won cab between us

28:34and I went in with my agent

28:34to the showroom

28:36and I seen this nice Audi.

28:37I says,

28:37I'll take that.

28:38Much as a month,

28:39blah, blah, blah,

28:39right, okay.

28:41Convertible?

28:41No, no.

28:42My agent went,

28:43they've got a convertible Beetle.

28:46My missus' favourite car's a Beetle.

28:47Right.

28:48She said,

28:48they've got a convertible Beetle there

28:49and my wife just looked at me

28:51with the eyes going,

28:52please.

28:54And I was like,

28:54ah,

28:54that's going to be too much

28:55and my agent says,

28:57no, no,

28:58you're a dear deal.

28:59Is that right?

29:00So she drove out with that and all.

29:02And suddenly?

29:03And then I get binned after a year,

29:04right,

29:05and I had a two-year lease

29:06and I thought,

29:06what am I going to do with the cars?

29:07I can't take them back to Scotland.

29:08So I just wrote a wee note saying,

29:09listen,

29:10sorry,

29:10we're way back to Scotland.

29:11Put the two keys through the letterbox

29:13of the car's room

29:13and then buggered off back to Scotland.

29:15Were they leased?

29:16Yeah.

29:16Oh,

29:17it's fine.

29:17So I've never heard dead and back,

29:19so hopefully.

29:19It's a different world over there.

29:21The commercial manager

29:22when I was in Orlando

29:23said to me,

29:24you'll need a car,

29:25I said,

29:26aye,

29:26he said,

29:26just leave it to me.

29:27And I get up the next morning

29:28and opened the curtains

29:29and there was a yellow

29:32Mustang convertible

29:33sitting inside the door.

29:34Is that right?

29:36Nothing's any object to them,

29:37you know?

29:38Yeah.

29:38And if they put you in an apartment,

29:40they furnish the apartment,

29:41they just go to a store

29:42that you rent all the furniture

29:44and that all appears as well.

29:45Yeah.

29:46Les has said,

29:47wow,

29:47Tam played in America.

29:49Jingles.

29:49Never heard that.

29:51I know where you're coming from,

29:52Les.

29:53I get it,

29:54actually,

29:54but convertible,

29:55good.

29:56Yeah,

29:56I like that,

29:57Tam.

29:57Not in Scotland.

29:58Pointless.

29:59Absolutely.

30:01Anyway,

30:02Luke McCowan,

30:03Liam Scales,

30:03good deals?

30:04We've talked about

30:05players,

30:06teams,

30:06Scottish players,

30:07retaining them.

30:09The interesting one for me,

30:10Peter,

30:11is James Forrest,

30:13Luke McCowan,

30:13Liam Scales.

30:15I spoke on this show

30:16about two months ago

30:17and I said that I could see

30:19if Martin O'Neill

30:20won the league,

30:21he would stay on

30:22as a manager

30:23the next season.

30:23I don't think many people

30:24agreed,

30:25thought it would be

30:25his last year.

30:27I think Martin O'Neill

30:28is going to be involved

30:29at Celtic

30:29in some form

30:30next season.

30:31Now,

30:31whether that's being

30:32the manager of the club,

30:33if they win the league

30:33in the cup,

30:34I think there'll be

30:35a clamour for him

30:35to stay on.

30:36Or,

30:37if they don't,

30:38some sort of

30:38director of football

30:39because it must be

30:40Martin O'Neill

30:40that's going to the board

30:41and saying,

30:42give him a new contract,

30:43give him a new contract,

30:45he needs a new contract.

30:46It's not the board,

30:46give him a...

30:47It must be the manager

30:48or Sean Maloney

30:49or people going,

30:50listen,

30:50we need to get them

30:50tied down.

30:51Well,

30:51is that a stretch,

30:52Luke McCown

30:53and Liam Scales?

30:53Is that something

30:54you think...

30:56I think the jury

30:57will be out for...

30:59I think James Forrest

31:00maybe for another year.

31:01Liam Scales,

31:02for me,

31:03divides opinion

31:03when they sell to the

31:04supporters.

31:04I quite like him.

31:05I think he's a solid

31:05professional.

31:06I don't think he's a

31:07starter every week

31:08but he doesn't let you

31:09down.

31:10Giving him another

31:10four-year deal,

31:12fair play to him.

31:13I think he's a solid

31:14player.

31:15Luke McCown,

31:17a squad player.

31:19Giving him a new

31:19contract,

31:20I'm not so sure.

31:21I think Celtic

31:21should be looking

31:22for better quality.

31:23What about Connor

31:24who says it's part

31:24of the homegrown

31:25quota?

31:26Probably Luke McCown,

31:28James Forrest.

31:28That's why obviously

31:29Ralson's hanging about.

31:31Liam Scales is solid.

31:33I wouldn't have been

31:34against it,

31:34Peter.

31:35But at the same time,

31:36if Luke McCown

31:37left and Liam Scales

31:38left,

31:39would the Celtic fans

31:41be bitterly disappointed?

31:42I don't think so.

31:43Well,

31:43I have to tell you,

31:44it's funny you saying

31:45that because obviously

31:46Arnett Engels has been

31:47linked with a move

31:48to Lazio and then

31:49Norringham Forrest.

31:50But I look at it,

31:51Ruffy,

31:51and I'm only just

31:52giving you what I

31:53think are people I

31:55think will be going

31:55out the door.

31:57Will Oxlade

31:58Chamberlain be there

31:59in the summer?

31:59Don't think so.

32:00Engels could be on

32:01his way,

32:02sellable asset.

32:03Even Negrin's a

32:03sellable asset.

32:05Hattati and Maeda,

32:06they want to go.

32:07Chavanchara's

32:07definitely going back.

32:08Araujo's back

32:09already.

32:10Sarachi will be

32:10going back off loan.

32:11Arthur,

32:12Mbuka,

32:13Adamu,

32:14they'll be going

32:15back.

32:16Ian Acho will be

32:18at the end of his

32:19contract and are

32:20they going to sign

32:20him?

32:21That's a wad of

32:22players there.

32:23Yeah,

32:23you're right.

32:24Whoever is the

32:25manager next season

32:27has got his work

32:28cut out and the

32:30Celtic supporters

32:30will be hoping that

32:32the board have

32:33learnt their lesson

32:33and the quality

32:34that they've been

32:35bringing in and the

32:35way they've been

32:36bringing them in.

32:37They'll be hoping

32:38if it is Martin.

32:39You know Martin

32:40is actively at this

32:41moment identifying

32:43players because a

32:45lot of these players

32:45as the Celtic

32:46supporters will say

32:47just aren't the

32:48standard of what

32:49Celtic used to have

32:50when they were in

32:51Europe and the

32:52calibre of player.

32:53The boy scales.

32:55I agree with

32:55everything that

32:57Tam says.

32:57I think he's a

32:58great workman

32:59light.

32:59I've never ever

33:00been a big fan of

33:02his.

33:02I think he's good

33:04in everything that

33:05Tam says.

33:06A workman light

33:06and they'll let you

33:07down.

33:08But centre-half

33:10for Celtic should

33:11have a standing

33:12of quality that's

33:14bigger than Liam.

33:15You know and I

33:17think they need to

33:18identify two centre-halves

33:20that are going to

33:21I don't know why

33:21you pointed out

33:22Europe.

33:22They haven't got

33:23any ambition in

33:23Europe.

33:2421 years of

33:25misery.

33:25Well if they're

33:26going to go along

33:26the road of what

33:27they've got this

33:28year they'd better

33:28get their ag

33:29together because

33:30it's going to

33:30happen again.

33:31I say 21 years

33:32it's sporadic

33:33half-decent results

33:34but not any great

33:36ambition.

33:36I mean even

33:37over the course

33:39of the last

33:40few weeks

33:42there's been

33:43still in the

33:43background real

33:44growing unrest

33:45about this board.

33:47It's not going

33:47away.

33:48I don't think

33:48that's going to

33:49appease the fans

33:50that today.

33:51No.

33:51I think that when

33:52you look at

33:54there's no many

33:54players in that

33:55Celtic squad if

33:56you gave them a

33:56new contract the

33:57Celtic fans would

33:58be overjoyed

33:58with.

33:58Is there?

33:59Really?

34:00In terms of this

34:01season there's

34:01nobody standing

34:02out as having a

34:03great season you

34:04think we need to

34:04get him tied

34:05down.

34:05So yeah it's

34:08I don't think

34:09that I think the

34:09Celtic supporters

34:10will be

34:11I don't think

34:12they're both

34:12overly enamoured

34:13with those guys

34:14getting new

34:14contracts but

34:15I think they're

34:16solid enough

34:16squad players

34:17but if you're

34:17looking to make

34:18an impression

34:19in Europe

34:19you're looking

34:19to win a

34:21league.

34:21You're probably

34:22needing better

34:22than that.

34:22They're playing

34:24Falkirk

34:24the Bairns

34:26have no Scott

34:27Bain, Liam

34:27Henderson and

34:28Philip Lisa

34:29out so that's

34:30three key players

34:31for them.

34:31I just wonder

34:32what the feedback

34:33would be in the

34:34fallout from the

34:35cup game against

34:36Infermline.

34:37I wonder if

34:37their season's

34:39just about to

34:39fizzle out

34:40Tam.

34:41Possibly the

34:42Falkirk fans

34:42won't want that

34:43to happen.

34:45Bitterly

34:45disappointing

34:46performance last

34:46week.

34:47Probably the

34:47first time under

34:49John McGlynn

34:49that they've

34:50really let the

34:50supporters do.

34:52They've came

34:53through the

34:53leagues and

34:54getting the

34:55top six this

34:55season has

34:56been unprecedented

34:57success for

34:58Falkirk over

34:58the last few

34:59seasons but

34:59that will hurt

35:00the Falkirk

35:01supporters,

35:02that will hurt

35:02the players.

35:03The week

35:03before I think

35:05maybe knocked

35:05the stuffing

35:06out of them

35:06losing six to

35:06Rangers,

35:07maybe knocked

35:08their confidence.

35:09Now they've

35:10got to go to

35:10Celtic Park.

35:12It isn't

35:13danger of

35:13fizzling out,

35:14they'll still

35:14have ambitions

35:15to try and

35:15catch Hibs but

35:18I can only see

35:20a home win

35:20here, Celtic

35:21against

35:21Falkirk but

35:21again I

35:23don't see

35:23Celtic going

35:23I know they

35:24scored goals

35:25an extra time

35:25the other day

35:26but I don't

35:27see them

35:27scoring four

35:28and five

35:28against Falkirk.

35:29Prediction?

35:31Two and

35:31I'll to

35:32Celtic.

35:33Two one.

35:34Yeah,

35:35difficult to

35:35pick yourself

35:36up after a

35:36defeat like

35:37that,

35:37your whole

35:39season to

35:41get there

35:42and the

35:43disappointment.

35:43I know he's

35:44got a few

35:44characters in

35:45the dressing

35:45room that

35:46could maybe

35:47help them

35:47through it but

35:48I think Celtic

35:49will be rampant

35:50tomorrow and I

35:51think there

35:51will be goals.

35:52Ramping?

35:52Yeah.

35:53What's ramp?

35:54Ramping's at

35:55least three

35:55nothing.

35:56Three nothing?

35:57Okay,

35:57write that

35:58down,

35:59ramping's

35:59three nothing.

36:00Ruffy's never

36:01ever went over

36:02a three goal win

36:03in all the time

36:03I've known him.

36:04On this show?

36:05On this show.

36:06You've never said

36:07a four or five.

36:08There's a one

36:08coming up.

36:09Oh,

36:10interesting.

36:10Okay,

36:11more than three

36:12goals?

36:12Yep.

36:12Okay,

36:13don't change

36:14your mind.

36:15Rangers against

36:16Motherwell.

36:16Now,

36:17the Rangers

36:17boss.

36:17Oh no.

36:21Okay,

36:23the Rangers

36:24Motherwell

36:25match.

36:26Now that we

36:27know his

36:27prediction,

36:28of course all

36:29the news was

36:30about James

36:30Tavernier saying

36:31that he'll be

36:32leaving at the

36:32end of the

36:33season.

36:34Danny

36:34Rowe,

36:34the Rangers

36:35boss,

36:35clearly today

36:36talking about

36:37it all,

36:38says that this

36:39is the perfect

36:40chance to give

36:40him the perfect

36:41send-off.

36:42Finally,

36:43he makes the

36:44final decision

36:45for him.

36:47I think it's

36:49also not for

36:51me.

36:52How can I

36:53describe this?

36:54He's a legend

36:55of the club

36:56and I think

36:58just what I can

36:59say,

37:00made an amazing

37:01career here.

37:02He saw all

37:03the good

37:04moments.

37:05He saw also

37:07some not so

37:08good moments

37:09and hopefully

37:09at the end

37:10of the season

37:10he can see

37:11again.

37:12a beautiful

37:13moment.

37:14Well, the

37:15ultimate is

37:16Danny Rowe

37:16pointed out,

37:17five games,

37:1721 days to

37:18give him the

37:19perfect send-off.

37:20Yeah, and

37:21listen, I think

37:22the Rangers

37:22supporters,

37:23whatever happens

37:23will surely

37:24give James

37:25Tavernier a

37:25great send-off.

37:26I think he's

37:26been a brilliant

37:27player for the

37:27club.

37:28We spoke about

37:29it yesterday

37:29in the show.

37:30I don't think

37:31winning three

37:32trophies in 11

37:33years is all

37:34on him.

37:35It's disappointing

37:35as a Rangers

37:36captain.

37:37I think he's

37:38been a brilliant

37:38player for the

37:39Rangers and no

37:39matter what

37:40happens, I think

37:41he'll get a

37:41great send-off.

37:42But if the

37:43Rangers are going

37:43to win the

37:43league, what a

37:44send-off that'll

37:45be for James

37:45Tavernier.

37:47So they're in

37:48the mix to win

37:49it.

37:49They're playing a

37:50motherly team that's

37:51again like Falkirk

37:52fell off it over the

37:53last three or four

37:54weeks.

37:55And you're

37:55thinking, obviously

37:57they've still got

37:58fourth to play for

37:59but have they run

38:00the race?

38:01Are they starting

38:01to get leggy?

38:02Are they starting

38:03to catch up with

38:05them?

38:05It remains to be

38:06seen but I would

38:07fancy Rangers

38:07comfortably here at

38:08home.

38:11Romans and

38:12Nadiri are out

38:13but at home they

38:15really have been

38:16formidable,

38:17Ruffie.

38:17Yeah, and they

38:18found their goal

38:19scoring.

38:20They're the one

38:21scoring six goals

38:22at the beginning

38:23of the season.

38:23They were

38:23struggling to score

38:24one or two

38:26but they're

38:26buoyant now and

38:27we've said it all

38:28along this year at

38:29home, if they get

38:30an early goal,

38:31they can be hard

38:33to pin back and

38:34they certainly are

38:35scoring goals now

38:36and I think they'll

38:36continue that.

38:37I think the

38:37confidence is there.

38:38The fans have all

38:40bought into the

38:41way they're playing

38:42and obviously

38:42winning.

38:43They now believe

38:44that this is the

38:45year they're going

38:45to win the league

38:46so everything's

38:47rosy at Ibrook

38:48so I think

38:48Motherwell better

38:49beware at the

38:50weekend.

38:51Just looking at

38:52Rangers, obviously

38:53everybody will

38:53looking and

38:54seeing it.

38:54James Tavernier

38:56didn't take a

38:56rocket scientist

38:57to work out

38:58that he wasn't

38:58going to be part

38:59of the plans

38:59long term.

39:01This will be

39:01Danny Rose, I

39:03think, real

39:04summer of

39:06changing the

39:07side dramatically.

39:08Does he lose a

39:09few players?

39:09Does Fernandes

39:10get the big move?

39:11He's certainly

39:11been catching

39:13the eye.

39:13He's linked

39:13with Feyenoord.

39:14He's a sellable

39:15asset.

39:15Yeah, he

39:16certainly is.

39:17Obviously, when

39:18you're in a

39:19successful team

39:20and you've got

39:21managers who

39:22know where

39:23you've come

39:23from and he

39:24hasn't done

39:25particularly well

39:25considering the

39:27centre-halves he's

39:27been playing

39:28with.

39:28They've been

39:28chopping and

39:29changing but

39:29he's been there

39:31scoring goals.

39:32Nobody's talking

39:33about Raskin

39:33moving anywhere.

39:34Raskin's not

39:35talking about

39:35moving.

39:37I don't think

39:38they've got as

39:39much of a

39:41build-up at the

39:42end of the

39:43season as what

39:43Celtic have.

39:44Yeah, how do

39:45you see this

39:45one going?

39:46I think 4-0.

39:474-0 to Rangers?

39:48Yeah, I think

39:48Rangers will

39:49hammer them,

39:49yeah.

39:50Wow, that's an

39:51interesting one.

39:51I understand where

39:52Ruffy's coming from

39:53because if you look

39:54at the last five

39:54games, four defeats

39:55and one drop

39:56on Motherwell.

39:57Yeah, I think

39:59Rangers are

39:59comfortable with

40:00but I can see

40:02Rangers winning

40:023-0.

40:04Motherwell have

40:04been brilliant

40:05this season but

40:05they're just

40:06showing signs

40:07the last few

40:07weeks that

40:08maybe running

40:09next team.

40:10So 3-0 to Rangers

40:11for me.

40:11I missed, obviously

40:13when I was away,

40:13I missed the

40:14nominations of

40:15the player of

40:15the year.

40:16I believe there

40:17was a few

40:17Motherwell boys

40:18in it.

40:19Yeah, four?

40:20Yeah.

40:21And again,

40:22Jens Berthalaskow

40:23has been talking

40:23about the fact

40:24that Motherwell

40:25players dominate

40:26the team of

40:27the season and

40:28he did mention

40:30that of course

40:30that's a fair

40:31indication of

40:32the summer and

40:33how people will

40:34be coming to

40:35try and steal

40:35a few players.

40:36Obviously it

40:38doesn't make

40:39their value

40:39less that they

40:42are first of all

40:43performing really

40:44well and that

40:44they get that

40:45recognition as

40:47well.

40:47Obviously it

40:47attracts more

40:48attention and it

40:49underlines that

40:51it's not just us

40:52who think that

40:53they have done

40:54really well and

40:55value them highly

40:56but so does

40:58other very

41:00intelligent and

41:01football

41:02wise people

41:03in this country.

41:05Well, I think

41:06the one thing

41:07about it that

41:07Motherwell fans

41:08don't want to

41:09hear and they

41:09certainly don't

41:10want to see it

41:10is quite simply

41:12a fire sale

41:13where everybody

41:14goes, right,

41:15we'll have

41:15Elliot Wall,

41:16we'll take

41:19Masvinisi,

41:19we'll definitely

41:20have a look at

41:20Eli Just,

41:21would they be

41:22taking a look at

41:22anybody else in

41:23that line-up as

41:25well?

41:26Yeah, I think

41:26Sparrow,

41:26Faddinger,

41:27there's a lot of

41:28guys in there

41:28who have had

41:29fantastic seasons

41:30so yeah,

41:32that's what

41:32happens when you're

41:32a club the size

41:33of Motherwell,

41:33Peter,

41:33you have a

41:34really, really

41:34good season,

41:35strong season,

41:36it's the same

41:36with Hibs and

41:36Hearts,

41:37your players get

41:38cherry-picked

41:38and not only

41:41from clubs down

41:41in England

41:42but Hibs,

41:42Hearts,

41:43Celtic Rangers

41:44all play a

41:44lot more

41:44money than

41:45Aberdeen,

41:46play a lot

41:46more money

41:46than Motherwell

41:47so you can

41:48see them

41:48staying in

41:49Scotland

41:49going to

41:49a bigger

41:50club here

41:50so no,

41:51I think

41:52they've been

41:52brilliant this

41:53season,

41:53they've been

41:53a breath of

41:53fresh air to

41:54watch,

41:55you hope it

41:56doesn't peter

41:56out disappointingly

41:58and then people

41:59just remember

42:00that the last

42:01six or seven

42:02games rather

42:02than the

42:03previous

42:0430-odd

42:04so I don't

42:07see them

42:07getting out

42:07in the

42:08Ibrox,

42:08Peter.

42:08If he ever

42:09was on the

42:09list,

42:10do you think

42:10the last five

42:10games have

42:11maybe taken

42:11him off the

42:12list?

42:13I think

42:14when you

42:14are a

42:14manager or

42:15a player

42:15you want

42:15to finish

42:16the season

42:16strongly,

42:17it's amazing

42:18because if

42:18you're a

42:18striker and

42:19you score

42:2020 goals

42:21in the first

42:21six months

42:21of the season

42:22and then

42:22score two

42:23in the second

42:23six months,

42:24people think

42:25he's not a

42:26great season

42:26but if you

42:26reverse it,

42:28if you score

42:28two in the

42:28first six months

42:29and then 20

42:29you're finishing

42:30the season

42:31flying,

42:31you're freshen

42:32people's heads.

42:33I think it's

42:33the same with

42:34management,

42:34Peter,

42:34if you've had

42:35a really

42:35strong start

42:36to the season

42:36and then you've

42:37had a poor

42:37end to it,

42:38people just

42:39tend to

42:39remember that

42:39rather than

42:40the other

42:40way about,

42:41so you're

42:42hoping that

42:42overall he's

42:43judged and

42:43his whole

42:44body will

42:44work rather

42:44than just

42:45the last

42:45six or

42:45seven weeks.

42:46Okay,

42:46all three of

42:47us have

42:47gone for

42:52Rangers to

42:52win that

42:52one.

42:53Kaiser says,

42:54Peter,

42:54how much of

42:54Tavernier's goals

42:55have been

42:56penalties?

42:57I think it's

42:58something like

42:5869 was the

43:00figure that I

43:00had,

43:00I can't quote

43:02exactly,

43:02but I know

43:03that of the

43:03penalties that he

43:04has scored,

43:05he's up at

43:0681% conversion

43:08on penalties,

43:09it's not easy

43:10to score a

43:10penalty,

43:10but the fact

43:11of the matter

43:11is,

43:11Ruffy,

43:12I think he's

43:13up at 143

43:14or 148

43:16goals as a

43:17full-back,

43:17a long time

43:18before Rangers

43:18have a full-back

43:19who scores

43:20that amount

43:20of goals.

43:21Yeah,

43:21I mean he can

43:21hold his head

43:23high when he

43:24leaves,

43:24there's no doubt

43:24about that,

43:25obviously Tam's

43:26touched on that,

43:27I'm sure if

43:27he wanted to

43:29win more trophies

43:29there's no doubt

43:30that's what the

43:31fans remember.

43:32I was a wee bit

43:32surprised when

43:33we were announcing

43:34it,

43:34you know the

43:35why now,

43:36why not wait

43:37at the end

43:37of the season

43:38and do it,

43:38it seems a wee

43:39bit as if

43:41something was

43:41going on behind

43:42the scenes

43:43or something

43:43like that.

43:43Maybe it was

43:44going to get

43:44leaked,

43:45maybe it was

43:45going to come

43:46out anyway

43:46and he thought

43:47he'd get ahead

43:47of it and

43:48announce it

43:48himself.

43:49Well he goes

43:49on an interview

43:51and then says

43:51there's been

43:52no new contract,

43:53so obviously

43:54at that point

43:55you're starting

43:55to say to

43:56yourself he's

43:57in relatively

43:57few starts

43:59under Danny

44:00Roll,

44:00the writing's

44:01on the wall,

44:01I might as

44:02well say I'm

44:03going to be

44:03leaving,

44:04maybe does

44:05it act as

44:05an incentive?

44:06Alec Ray

44:07thought it was

44:07a distraction,

44:08I wonder what?

44:08I don't think

44:09so Peter.

44:09No?

44:10It puts him

44:11on a wee,

44:12no pressure

44:13in a 90

44:14minute game,

44:15you know,

44:15if he's

44:15playing and

44:16he does

44:17something wrong

44:17and he scores

44:19an own goal

44:19or something,

44:20it just puts

44:20added pressure

44:21on him going

44:22off,

44:22you're leaving,

44:23why don't

44:23you just

44:23leave now,

44:24that's the

44:25way some

44:25fans operate.

44:26Yeah,

44:26I think he'll

44:27get a lovely

44:28send off,

44:28I think he'll

44:28get a good

44:29send off,

44:30I think it'll

44:30be unbelievable

44:31if Rangers

44:32win the league

44:32and he's

44:33lifting that

44:33trophy,

44:34what a way

44:34to bow out

44:35for James

44:35Tavernier and

44:37in some

44:37quarters where

44:39some people

44:39don't fancy

44:40him,

44:40it's a perfect

44:40way to just

44:43give them the

44:43old Harvey

44:44Smiths,

44:45for people who

44:46are under 40

44:46who won't know

44:47what that is,

44:48you'll be able to

44:48look it up and

44:49you'll know exactly

44:49what I'm talking

44:50about,

44:51Tayside Derby,

44:52Dundee United

44:52against Dundee,

44:53it's that Tanner

44:53Rice,

44:54Jim Goodwin has

44:55already come out

44:55and said in a

44:56positive sense,

44:57he wants Dundee to

44:58be in the

44:59Premiership because

45:00it's great for

45:01the whole city,

45:01it comes alive,

45:03people who don't

45:04go up to that

45:05Derby don't

45:07understand hearts

45:08and heavens,

45:08certainly when

45:09you're people in

45:10the west of

45:10Scotland who

45:11are obsessed by

45:12Celtic and

45:13Rangers,

45:14I lived in

45:15Edinburgh and

45:15knew exactly what

45:16it was all

45:16about,

45:17I regularly went

45:18up to Dundee

45:18for the Derby

45:19and,

45:20the whole city,

45:21he knows it

45:21as well,

45:22the whole city's

45:23buzzing,

45:24Tam.

45:25Yeah,

45:25as I said,

45:26I was fortunate

45:27to play in it,

45:30after coming from

45:31Hibs,

45:31going to Dundee,

45:32the first fixture

45:33you're looking at

45:33is the Dundee

45:34Derby,

45:34wanting to

45:35experience it

45:35and it was

45:36brilliant,

45:37it was electric,

45:37played home and

45:38away,

45:39one at Dens Park,

45:39one at

45:40Tanadice and

45:40the atmosphere

45:41was incredible

45:41and it was

45:42just as feisty

45:44as the Edinburgh

45:45Derby,

45:45so,

45:46yeah,

45:46it's big for

45:47the city

45:47that both

45:48clubs are

45:48in the top

45:49flight

45:50and,

45:51listen,

45:51Jim Goodman

45:51for Dundee

45:52they want to

45:52finish top of

45:53the top six

45:54and for Dundee

45:55I think they

45:56probably need

45:56another win

45:57just to make

45:58sure that they

45:59keep away

45:59from trouble

46:00just one more

46:01yeah,

46:01just one more

46:02win I think

46:02they're five

46:02points clear

46:03of the play-off

46:04I think another

46:04win would

46:05secure their

46:05status

46:07and that's a

46:08successful season

46:09I think for

46:09Stephen Presley

46:10because when he

46:10first went in

46:11I think they

46:11were probably

46:12one of the

46:12favourites to

46:12get relegated

46:13so they've

46:14done pretty

46:15well this

46:15season

46:15and it's

46:18going to be

46:18a big game

46:18for both

46:19clubs

46:19yeah

46:21Dundee I

46:21think have

46:22received some

46:23really good

46:24praise

46:25because of the

46:25way he's gone

46:26about restructuring

46:27the side

46:28he's certainly

46:29putting them

46:29on a more

46:30sound footing

46:31at Ruffey

46:31he's won over

46:33the fans

46:33they certainly

46:34like the football

46:34I like the fact

46:35that he's playing

46:36with wingers

46:37and he probably

46:38if we're being

46:39honest about it

46:40will lose Luke

46:41Graham

46:42but over and

46:43above that

46:44maybe the odd

46:44one or two

46:45go back off

46:46the loan deals

46:47but I think he

46:48knows what he's

46:48doing

46:49Stephen Presley

46:50made a good

46:50impression

46:51he was very

46:51very honest

46:52right at the

46:52beginning

46:52you know

46:53when he went

46:53in there

46:54he said

46:54look

46:55this is a

46:56rebuild

46:56you know

46:56you have to

46:57hang in there

46:58you have to

46:58believe that

46:58the players

46:59are going to

47:00change things

47:02he was talking

47:02about 12

47:03players

47:04and I think

47:05he did

47:05eventually bring

47:0612 players

47:07in

47:07and a lot

47:08of them

47:08were good

47:09quality

47:09better quality

47:10than what

47:10they had

47:11and he had a

47:12good wee spell

47:12a good wee run

47:13there particularly

47:14against Rangers

47:14and Celtic

47:15and yeah

47:16he's right

47:17you need

47:17you need a

47:18Derby

47:18you need

47:19Dundee

47:20United

47:21Dundee

47:21to be at

47:22it with each

47:23other

47:23because

47:23like all

47:24the other

47:25Derby games

47:25they bring

47:26something to

47:27the table

47:28and winning

47:29and losing

47:30again is

47:30something you

47:31can brag on

47:32I was delighted

47:33to actually

47:33go up and do

47:34the one-to-one

47:34with him

47:35because it

47:35gave

47:36for some

47:37people

47:37it gives

47:38a wee

47:38insight

47:38into him

47:40that he's

47:42good fun

47:42Elvis

47:43you know

47:43yeah

47:45I said

47:46it's well

47:46documented

47:46I played

47:47against Elvis

47:47so many

47:48times

47:48and they're

47:48in my

47:48Derbys

47:49did you speak

47:50with him

47:50when you

47:51were in

47:51the Derby

47:52not really

47:53but I thought

47:54he was quite

47:54arrogant

47:55when I played

47:56against him

47:56and stuff

47:57and didn't

47:58really like him

47:58to be honest

47:59and then

48:00he signed

48:00me for

48:01Falkirk

48:01and I can't

48:02believe that

48:02phone call

48:03because we

48:03used to

48:03kick lumps

48:04at each

48:04other

48:05and give

48:05each other

48:06all sorts

48:06of abuse

48:07and then

48:07as a manager

48:08totally different

48:08I thought

48:09he was

48:09a great

48:10dry sense

48:11of humour

48:11very

48:12very

48:13talented

48:13coach

48:14knew what

48:15he was

48:15doing

48:15good speaker

48:16and no

48:17surprise

48:17that he's

48:18actually done

48:18well in

48:19management

48:19and then

48:19he's back

48:20at Dundee

48:20so I

48:21really like

48:21Elvis

48:21I didn't

48:22like

48:22playing

48:22against

48:23him

48:23but

48:23completely

48:24different

48:24character

48:24when you

48:25get to

48:25know him

48:25like

48:25your

48:26Scott

48:26Browns

48:27and your

48:27Barry

48:27Neil Lennons

48:29who people

48:30think

48:30don't like

48:31him

48:31and once

48:32you get

48:32to know

48:32them

48:33you find

48:33out

48:34they're

48:34decent

48:34guys

48:34prediction

48:35to each

48:382-1

48:39Dundee

48:39United

48:39oh

48:402-1

48:40Dundee

48:41United

48:41I'm going

48:42to go a

48:42draw as

48:42well

48:43I think

48:43it'll be

48:431-1

48:45Aberdeen

48:45against

48:46Kilmarnock

48:48the game

48:49has got so

48:49much at

48:50stake

48:50this could

48:51be a

48:51defining

48:51moment

48:52here

48:52for

48:52Aberdeen

48:53Stephen

48:54Robinson

48:54the

48:55Dons

48:55boss

48:56has said

48:56just

48:57crucial

48:57for

48:58the

48:58Dons

48:59to get

48:59a win

49:00he's

49:00saying

49:01it's

49:01correct

49:01if

49:02we

49:02manage

49:02to

49:02get

49:02the

49:03three

49:03points

49:03then

49:04it

49:04would

49:04ease

49:05the

49:05pressure

49:05a little

49:05bit

49:05it

49:06certainly

49:06doesn't

49:07confirm

49:07that

49:07we're

49:07safe

49:07but

49:08it

49:08makes

49:08it

49:08difficult

49:08for

49:09other

49:09teams

49:09to

49:09catch

49:10us

49:10so

49:10it's

49:11a

49:11huge

49:11game

49:12it

49:12was

49:12a

49:13huge

49:13game

49:13against

49:13Hibs

49:14and

49:14we

49:14had

49:15a

49:15fantastic

49:15back

49:1618,500

49:17in the

49:18stadium

49:18who were

49:19all right

49:19behind the

49:19team

49:20and what

49:20a difference

49:21that makes

49:21and the

49:22players

49:22respond to

49:23that

49:23so we

49:24realise how

49:24big a

49:24game it

49:25is

49:25we want

49:25to embrace

49:26the game

49:26when you

49:27play for

49:27Aberdeen

49:27Football Club

49:28you play

49:28under

49:28pressure

49:29it's the

49:30wrong end

49:30of pressure

49:30at this

49:31moment in

49:31time but

49:31you have

49:31to deal

49:32with that

49:32and as

49:33you say

49:33the outcome

49:34would give

49:35us a bit

49:35of breathing

49:35space

49:37suddenly he's

49:37managed to

49:38get the

49:38team

49:38together

49:39he's

49:39certainly

49:40tried to

49:41foster a

49:42team

49:42spirit

49:44and he's

49:44got a

49:45crucial

49:45first win

49:46and now

49:47he's looking

49:47to build

49:48on that

49:48I think

49:50obviously we

49:50know the

49:50summer is

49:51where he'll

49:51have a real

49:52impression on

49:52the Dons

49:53but I think

49:54they'll be

49:54good enough

49:55Robbie

49:55what do you

49:55think?

49:56Yeah I

49:56think so as

49:56well I

49:57think a new

49:57manager getting

49:58in there

49:58a new voice

49:59new training

50:01people start

50:02looking forward

50:02to getting in

50:03in the morning

50:03it was very

50:04evident when he

50:05went there

50:05he thought the

50:06team spirit

50:07wasn't the way

50:07it should be

50:09people are in

50:10wee cliques

50:10here and you

50:11don't want that

50:11kind of thing

50:12you want everybody

50:12fighting for each

50:14other on the

50:14park

50:15I've always

50:16said Aberdeen

50:17you know

50:18it's another

50:18team you need

50:20to be in the

50:20premiership

50:21you know

50:21because the

50:22support is

50:22absolutely

50:23fantastic

50:23the year that

50:25they've had

50:26is horrendous

50:26they're still

50:27hung in there

50:28they go to

50:29away grounds

50:31they pay their

50:31money they help

50:32the other clubs

50:33so if you're

50:34looking at the

50:35two teams

50:35I'm nothing

50:36against Colmarnock

50:37but if I was

50:38looking at the

50:38two teams

50:39Aberdeen or

50:40the team

50:40I'd want to

50:41stay in the

50:41premiership

50:41is there a

50:43specific team

50:44you can think

50:44of through your

50:45history or a

50:45specific season

50:46where you

50:46absolutely love

50:47going into work

50:48and you just

50:48thought this is

50:49great

50:49I don't have a

50:50problem with

50:51any of the

50:51team

50:52I was at

50:52you know

50:53I think the

50:53guys that I

50:54had in

50:54at Partick

50:55Thistle

50:56and at

50:56Hibs

50:57and then

50:57obviously

50:58the latter

50:58at Celtic

50:59there was a

50:59great bunch

51:00it was great

51:01going in in

51:01the morning

51:02the banner

51:04is unbelievable

51:05even if you're

51:06on the end

51:07it is funny

51:08but I don't

51:09know if things

51:09have changed

51:10we're talking

51:1040 years ago

51:12I don't know

51:12if things have

51:13changed now

51:14you don't have

51:14the same

51:14do you want

51:15to go out

51:15and have a

51:16pint or something

51:16like that

51:17or do you

51:17want to go

51:17up and

51:18of course

51:18it's the

51:19same

51:19but just do

51:20it in a

51:20bit more

51:21clandestine

51:21way

51:23back then

51:24there was

51:24no phones

51:25there was

51:25no

51:27cameras

51:27or then

51:27like that

51:28you could

51:28well they

51:28just say

51:29listen

51:29if you fancy

51:30a night out

51:30don't take

51:30your phone

51:32I'm not

51:33talking about

51:33nights out

51:33I'm talking

51:35about

51:35after training

51:36and maybe

51:36a Tuesday

51:36afternoon

51:37before we

51:39jumped in

51:40the train

51:40and went

51:40back to

51:41Glasgow

51:41or whatever

51:42so it

51:43was more

51:43social

51:44I go home

51:45again

51:45you know

51:46home

51:46but I mean

51:47you used

51:47to go

51:48to the

51:49game

51:49you used

51:50to travel

51:52I don't

51:52know if

51:53you did

51:53but the

51:54Hibs boys

51:55that stayed

51:55in Glasgow

51:55they used

51:56to travel

51:56through

51:56like four

51:57or five

51:57in a car

51:58and the

51:58carry on

51:59in the

51:59car

51:59was just

52:00it was

52:01unbelievable

52:01before you

52:02go to the

52:03actual

52:03stadium

52:03that's the

52:04thing I

52:05missed most

52:05about football

52:06it wasn't

52:06it really

52:07because I

52:08think when

52:08you retire

52:09I think your

52:10body's telling

52:11you right

52:11okay it's

52:12enough's

52:12enough

52:12you can't

52:13move

52:14anymore

52:14it's time

52:15to chuck

52:15it

52:15but then

52:15once you

52:16do chuck

52:17it

52:18it's

52:18grin

52:19every morning

52:19as Ruffy

52:19says

52:20the dressing

52:21room

52:21the banter

52:22being on

52:23the receive

52:23and then

52:23giving it

52:24out

52:24does it feel

52:25a bit like

52:25cold turkey

52:26for you

52:26it does

52:27Peter

52:27I've really

52:28struggled

52:28with it

52:28I would say

52:29a lot of

52:29football players

52:30who retire

52:30the biggest

52:31thing they

52:32struggle with

52:32is a loneliness

52:33type of thing

52:34it's just

52:34missing that

52:35dressing room

52:35and that

52:36team mentality

52:38where you're

52:39all in it

52:40together

52:41and suddenly

52:42that's gone

52:42and then you're

52:43on your own

52:44so I'd say

52:44that would be

52:47the biggest

52:48thing about

52:48retiring is

52:49missing the

52:50boys in the

52:50dressing room

52:51okay

52:51Aberdeen

52:52Kilmarnock

52:53Neil McCann

52:53reckons the

52:55playoff

52:56position

52:56will go right

52:57down to the

52:58final day

52:58do you share

52:59that view

52:59yeah I think

52:59about it

53:00they may

53:00St Mirren

53:00I think

53:01Dundee and

53:02Aberdeen will

53:02pull away

53:02I fancy

53:03Aberdeen to

53:03beat Kilmarnock

53:04prediction on that

53:052-0 to Aberdeen

53:072-0 to Aberdeen

53:08share your view

53:09it's a 2-0

53:10all round

53:11St Mirren

53:12against Livingston

53:12Craig McLeish

53:14says the

53:14semi-final

53:15exposed why

53:16the Saints

53:17are in the

53:17playoff

53:18just that

53:19inability to

53:21defend

53:21going forward

53:22at times

53:23they've been

53:23good but

53:24the back end

53:25has been a

53:25problem

53:26it's amazing

53:27you know

53:27okay they get

53:28thumped 6-2

53:29at the end of

53:30the day but

53:31if that game

53:32was over 90

53:32minutes

53:33a good point

53:35it's two each

53:36yeah

53:36you know it's

53:37positive you know

53:38if it would be

53:38a 90 minute game

53:39you'd be going

53:40away from that

53:41game going

53:41right that's us

53:42we're back

53:43you know we've

53:44just taken

53:44points off

53:46Celtic so

53:46let's fire in

53:48I still think

53:50St Mirren are a

53:51big strong side

53:51and I think

53:52they'll know

53:53I think the

53:55thing we're

53:55talking about

53:56Aberdeen that

53:56they don't have

53:57in the dressing

53:58room I think

53:59St Mirren have

53:59got it

53:59I think they've

54:00got a group

54:01in there

54:02who want to

54:03do well for

54:04the club

54:04and the

54:05supporters

54:05I've bought

54:06into it as

54:06well

54:06do you think

54:06he'll become

54:07the manager

54:08no

54:09no

54:10you think

54:10they'll look

54:11elsewhere

54:11yeah I think

54:12there'll be

54:12enough people

54:13out there

54:13throwing their

54:13hat in

54:14as there

54:15usually is

54:15I don't know

54:16who the

54:16names will be

54:17but there

54:18certainly is a

54:18lot of people

54:19at a job

54:19I think the

54:21last five games

54:22are important

54:23for him

54:23and Stuart

54:24Taylor

54:25I know Craig

54:26well and
