00:00:00The football show on PLZ Soccer's YouTube channel, it's Monday, the sun is shining, I'm Peter Martin, Alan Ruff is

00:00:06here,

00:00:07Tam McManus is here as well with what can only be described as a big T-file shiny, heed Ruffy,

00:00:12what do you think?

00:00:12It certainly is, there's a bit of a sunburn there as well, you need to get something on that, something

00:00:16in the peel.

00:00:17Yeah, thanks for that Ruffy, that's what happens if you get too much golf, this is great for you isn't

00:00:24it,

00:00:24you can just get out and hang about with everybody can't you?

00:00:26This is it Peter, because it's been a long winter, the weather's been horrendous from I think October right through

00:00:30to about March, April,

00:00:31so when the sun comes out, my golf clubs come out.

00:00:34Yeah, fair play to you. Lots to talk about on the programme, Lauren Shanklin's set to sign for Rangers,

00:00:41Celtic win the double Arsenal lift the Premiership Trophy, West Ham are relegated and Scott McTominay's featured on a £20

00:00:50note no less,

00:00:51there's only a hundred of them out there, so I presume people will be frantically trying to get their hands

00:00:57on them and then get them to sign one.

00:00:58Yeah, and it's one of the ones that you've got to hang on to for a few number of years

00:01:02before they become worth anything,

00:01:05you know, I think the last one we had, I think it was a Sean Connery one.

00:01:09Yeah, I had a Jack Nicklaus one, I've still got it.

00:01:11I had a Jack Nicklaus, that was a big one.

00:01:13Yeah.

00:01:13That was a big one.

00:01:14And I think...

00:01:15You've still got, what, a thousand of them?

00:01:16Yeah.

00:01:18I think he's, I think at one point he actually refused to sign some of them.

00:01:23Did he?

00:01:23Yeah, I don't know, I might be wrong on that, but nevertheless, £20, that's not bad,

00:01:27you know you've made it when you've got a £20 and you're here for a second.

00:01:29Yeah, brilliant, that's brilliant, but only a hundred made, I think they'll be gone for a few quid then.

00:01:33Yeah, absolutely.

00:01:33Collect his items.

00:01:35Okay, we're going to talk about what happened over the weekend in the football,

00:01:38but of course one of those stories today that caught everybody's attention,

00:01:41Lauren Shanklin to Rangers, and I think a few Hearts fans maybe caught surprised with that move.

00:01:51Yeah, because particularly when he signed last summer a new contract,

00:01:55it said that he signed a three-year contract, so I think somebody's got their wires crossed somewhere.

00:02:00I've seen the statement that Hearts put out last summer, and by intents and purposes it's a three-year contract.

00:02:06It's obviously not.

00:02:07It's a one-year contract with a two-year option, and I'm led to believe that outside the transfer window,

00:02:12he's a free agent, so there's not going to be a fee for Hearts either.

00:02:15So a lot of Hearts supporters will be really, really angry at this,

00:02:18and that they're going to lose their captain, their talisman, for nothing to Rangers.

00:02:21But in terms of for Rangers, I think he's a fantastic signing.

00:02:24I think if Rangers had signed him three years ago, two, three years ago,

00:02:28they'd had two league titles now. I think the one with Clermont,

00:02:31where I think they went to Ross County in Dundee, I think they drew 0-0 and got beat off

00:02:35of Ross County 3-2.

00:02:36That season, they needed a goal scorer, and I think this season,

00:02:39I think all the Rangers have probably scored the most goals in the league,

00:02:42but I think just adding him into that, I think he gets you another 20-25 goals,

00:02:46and that could be the difference as well.

00:02:48So I think he's a difference maker, and I think he's a fantastic signing for Rangers.

00:02:51Yeah, I think if anything, a lot of people will look and say,

00:02:55well, there's been mistakes made, because he's going to be 31 in August

00:02:59by the time the season kicks off.

00:03:00Those two years, sometimes roughly a goal scorer can make all the difference.

00:03:04Certainly for Rangers, I think when you look at Lauren Shanklin,

00:03:07his contribution to Hearts this season, 20 goals,

00:03:12and four or five of them could have made the difference for Rangers.

00:03:14Yeah, I mean, we always say that a Rangers or a Celtic striker should be scoring 25-30

00:03:20with the amount of possession they have, the amount of chances they have at goal,

00:03:24more than most of the other teams.

00:03:26So he's proved it with Hearts, and now he's got to put the jersey on at Rangers,

00:03:31which sometimes adds a wee bit more pressure, but it looks as if he's matured.

00:03:35It looks as if he's prime.

00:03:36I remember, I don't know if you remember, we saw him up at Aberdeen.

00:03:40Yeah.

00:03:40No, he'd come on.

00:03:41I don't know who the manager was that he didn't go on particularly well with,

00:03:44and then we saw him doing it at Morton.

00:03:47We went to Morton on loan.

00:03:49Yeah.

00:03:50Was he not at Air United as well?

00:03:52I'm just going to tell you that story.

00:03:53Oh, well, tell me.

00:03:54I've told you before, when I was on the board at Thistle,

00:03:57we were trying to get promotion, and we sat around the board,

00:04:01and we decided we needed a striker, and I said,

00:04:06Lauren Shanklin, and Gerry Britton said to me, how much?

00:04:10I said, I don't know.

00:04:10I said, I phoned a pal of mine, Willie Houston, who's on the board,

00:04:14and Willie Houston said, we were looking for £150,000.

00:04:19We bid £150,000 that Friday afternoon.

00:04:23Gerry Britton actually phoned Air United and bid £150,000 for Lauren Shanklin.

00:04:28Then they come back and said, no, his agent said he's running down his contract.

00:04:32Well, it just shows you, doesn't it?

00:04:34I know, it's just those sliding doors moments, but I think from his point of view,

00:04:39he's a Rangers fan, and sometimes when you get a team that you've supported since you were a boy,

00:04:45you know, the pool is too great, isn't it?

00:04:48Yeah, listen, he's obviously been brought up a Rangers supporter.

00:04:51He's been heavily linked with Rangers for, it seems, a long time.

00:04:54Every summer when he's been at Hearts, he's scoring 15, 20, 25 goals for Hearts.

00:04:57He's linked with Rangers.

00:04:59It's not happened for him, but I think this is the perfect opportunity for him.

00:05:0231, I think he's in the prime with his career.

00:05:04He's coming off the back of a really, really strong season at Hearts.

00:05:06He's going to go to the World Cup with Scotland.

00:05:08I think it's a no-brainer for Rangers to get him in for nothing.

00:05:11So, he's a leader.

00:05:12He's shown that with Hearts this season as well.

00:05:15But I think it's a great move for him and for Rangers.

00:05:17It's a disappointing one for Hearts supporters, who he's a real hero to them.

00:05:22He nearly won them the league this season.

00:05:23He scored big goals in big games.

00:05:25You know, he scored at Parkhead in a decider the other week there.

00:05:28You know, he scored the winners against Rangers.

00:05:30So, it's not only scoring against the smaller teams,

00:05:32he's scoring in big, big games for Hearts as well.

00:05:34So, he's a big game player.

00:05:36And I think 31 on a free to Rangers is a no-brainer.

00:05:39Okay.

00:05:41Somebody said, and I just caught it there,

00:05:43I think earlier, Tam, I was trying to get a hold of it for you,

00:05:46was somebody just said,

00:05:48good afternoon, Stephen Pollock.

00:05:50Hi, Stephen.

00:05:51I'm almost relieved as Tam,

00:05:54he didn't have to wear the Hearts top.

00:05:56Oh, it was nipping tuck though, wasn't it?

00:05:59Yeah, it was, Peter.

00:06:00As I said, 10 minutes to go,

00:06:03listen, I'm going to be wearing the Hearts trip.

00:06:04I'm going to say, eternal humiliation for the rest of my life.

00:06:08Unfortunately for me, Celtic win the game,

00:06:10but I'll go the same this season.

00:06:13I don't think Hearts will win it.

00:06:14I don't think anyone.

00:06:17Yeah, that's what I call going early on at Raffae.

00:06:20Why don't you just pick Rangers or Celtic?

00:06:22Oh, you Rangers are saying Shanklin, surely.

00:06:24Rangers to win the league.

00:06:25Yeah, as I said,

00:06:26I think they're heavily linked with Elliot Watt today as well,

00:06:29at Motherwell.

00:06:30So, I think Rangers are going to go and get their business done early,

00:06:33it looks like.

00:06:34Scottish players as well?

00:06:36Yes.

00:06:36That's an interesting take, isn't it?

00:06:37It is.

00:06:38And I think that's something that Rangers have lacked.

00:06:40I think that,

00:06:41if Barry Ferguson had been the Rangers manager, for example,

00:06:43I think he would have shopped in Scotland.

00:06:45Yeah.

00:06:46I think you need players that know the size of Rangers,

00:06:48know what's expected at Rangers.

00:06:50I think Elliot Watt's grew up a Rangers fan as well.

00:06:52So, it's filling your teams with guys like that.

00:06:55I think the core of your team's Scottish.

00:06:58I think Celtic have had that for a number of years

00:06:59and Rangers might be doing that route this summer.

00:07:02Yeah.

00:07:03Isn't it great how he knows who everybody supports?

00:07:05I would never have known Elliot Watt was a Rangers fan either.

00:07:09He's got the inside info for all his pals.

00:07:12Yeah, up in East Kilbride.

00:07:13They all have a big meeting.

00:07:14All the assistant managers all around Scotland.

00:07:17Yeah.

00:07:17He knows them all.

00:07:18There's not many of them.

00:07:19They end up getting billeted.

00:07:21And another one could be facing it today, Robbie.

00:07:26But, listen, thanks to William,

00:07:28because as ever, we like to take criticism

00:07:30and, boy, do we get a fair share of it, Tam.

00:07:32We've been battered from pillar to post.

00:07:35The only one, actually, who's probably on a par with us

00:07:38is Parksey on the journals.

00:07:41If Parksey breathes, he causes mayhem.

00:07:43William says,

00:07:44Peter, Peter, please, no, no, no, you're in Scotland.

00:07:48Obviously, they're not happy with my Joe Montana.

00:07:51San Francisco 49ers top.

00:07:54I'm sure somebody will link the 49ers to Rangers

00:07:56and I'll get even more pelters for it.

00:07:58But, nevertheless, it's sunny, rough.

00:08:00You can wear what you want.

00:08:01I mean, you guys are padding up your eight and a half hot mum shorts as well.

00:08:05Yeah, yeah, we're out there.

00:08:06I mean, we all wait and the sun come in

00:08:08and then we get two really good days and we're fed up with it.

00:08:11Yeah.

00:08:12It's too warm.

00:08:13Can you imagine, can you imagine,

00:08:15actually having to play football?

00:08:18Can you imagine we had that?

00:08:19Can you imagine we had 75% of the year with sun

00:08:22and you could play football in that time?

00:08:24Would it change your game dramatically?

00:08:26Yeah, it'd be great.

00:08:26I mean, obviously, they do it in Ireland.

00:08:28You know, they play the summer league.

00:08:29They play from March to November.

00:08:30They play right through the summer

00:08:31and I really enjoyed that.

00:08:33I enjoyed that when I played in Ireland,

00:08:34you know, playing in June and July.

00:08:35Yeah.

00:08:36The weather was good and the pitches were good

00:08:38rather than playing in the depths of winter

00:08:39in November, December, January.

00:08:41So, whether that will ever change, I don't know.

00:08:44A lot of the bigger leagues,

00:08:46the MLS was always a summer league

00:08:47and they've changed to the normal league

00:08:52to fit in with the European.

00:08:54I love the way you said the normal league.

00:08:57You know, they're playing right through

00:08:58but the MLS has changed that as well.

00:09:00So, I don't see the Irish league changing it

00:09:02because they get a lot of supporters.

00:09:04Yeah, Raffae, the one thing I was going to say to you,

00:09:06and I don't know if you do get a chance to watch it.

00:09:08I'm sure lots of people who watch this programme,

00:09:11depending on what age you are,

00:09:13but on a Saturday, I think it's a Saturday morning,

00:09:15you can turn over to ITV4

00:09:19and it's got the big match revisited

00:09:23and it's old footage from ITV with Brian Moore hosting it

00:09:26and they then show you three or four games

00:09:29from the English old First Division

00:09:32and Raffae, I have to tell you,

00:09:34and you'll know all about this,

00:09:35the state of the pitches was outrageous.

00:09:39They were like cow fields

00:09:40but every footballer,

00:09:42when the balls belt it up to him,

00:09:43his first touch, you know,

00:09:46immaculate, great, you know,

00:09:47playing the ball up, hold it in, lay it down,

00:09:50you know, but some of the players I was watching on it

00:09:52and I thought to myself,

00:09:53my God, when you think about,

00:09:55you know, nowadays with the pitches that they have.

00:09:58And you never ever heard anybody complaining,

00:10:00you never heard anybody saying,

00:10:02look at the state of that part,

00:10:03you just went out and played.

00:10:04One of the worst ones was Derby County,

00:10:07the baseball ground,

00:10:08it was just a mud bath.

00:10:10Yeah.

00:10:10The players went out there

00:10:11and the players who played in it were quality players.

00:10:14I mean, I saw a photograph of a Scotland-England game

00:10:19around about 1963

00:10:21and the two captains were tossing the coin

00:10:23to start the game

00:10:24and they were just standing in mud.

00:10:26Yeah.

00:10:26It was just mud that were standing in there.

00:10:28Was there any grass at all?

00:10:29Yeah, it's changed days,

00:10:31but nevertheless,

00:10:33thanks big match revisitors,

00:10:34class, says Pablo,

00:10:36real football players.

00:10:37Pablo, I can't argue with you

00:10:38because the guy I was watching

00:10:40was Ray Kennedy playing for Arsenal

00:10:42and his touch was absolutely sensational.

00:10:45I'm thinking, you know,

00:10:46that was the thing about it.

00:10:47You were unnatural,

00:10:48it was just naturally

00:10:49you were getting up in the morning,

00:10:50you were working on your touch

00:10:51outside playing non-stop.

00:10:53What was the one with George Best

00:10:54when he scored six?

00:10:55Northampton.

00:10:56Northampton.

00:10:57You were waltzing by people for fun

00:10:59in the mud.

00:11:00Absolutely.

00:11:01Give us your thoughts

00:11:02on the Lauren Shanklin story.

00:11:04What do you make of it?

00:11:05Signing for Rangers,

00:11:07boyhood fan,

00:11:08chance to sign for your team

00:11:10and a chance to maybe

00:11:12fire in some of the goals.

00:11:13And you think about 20 goals this season,

00:11:15it could have been no so different.

00:11:17Have Rangers missed a trick

00:11:18not getting them last season?

00:11:20And if so,

00:11:21who decided against it?

00:11:22That's a big question,

00:11:23isn't it?

00:11:24Somebody in that building

00:11:25must have said,

00:11:26no, we're not going to go for him.

00:11:28Yeah,

00:11:28and I think it would have been

00:11:30Russell Martin.

00:11:30I think he was available

00:11:31in the summer there

00:11:32and a real opportunity

00:11:33for Rangers to get.

00:11:34What was the price,

00:11:35Tom?

00:11:35What price?

00:11:37Back then?

00:11:37It was out of contract.

00:11:39It was out of contract.

00:11:39Nothing.

00:11:40Nothing.

00:11:40When he re-signed for Hearts

00:11:42and got that deal,

00:11:44it must have been a fee

00:11:45in his head

00:11:46if somebody came in

00:11:47when he was under contract

00:11:50when Rangers went for him.

00:11:51No, no, last season.

00:11:52He was out of contract.

00:11:53Then he signed a new deal.

00:11:55When he signed a new deal,

00:11:56did Rangers not come back in for him?

00:11:57No.

00:11:58No?

00:11:58No.

00:11:59No.

00:11:59I mean,

00:12:00why would you come back in for him

00:12:01after he signed a new deal?

00:12:02What price would we be talking about

00:12:04then if he was up?

00:12:05Now, 29?

00:12:06A couple of million, maybe.

00:12:07You're not going to get a lot

00:12:08for a guy that age,

00:12:09but yeah,

00:12:11I think,

00:12:11as I said to you...

00:12:12Good signing.

00:12:13I think it's a good signing.

00:12:14I don't think

00:12:14Philip Clamont fancied him

00:12:16because I think he was

00:12:16a kind of high press manager

00:12:17than the same with Russell Martin,

00:12:18but I think Danny Rowles

00:12:20looked at that squad

00:12:21and he thought,

00:12:21I need leaders.

00:12:22I need goal scorers.

00:12:24I need leaders.

00:12:25You know what he needs?

00:12:25Somebody in the box.

00:12:26Yeah.

00:12:27He needs a natural goal scorer

00:12:29because Cermiti is not that.

00:12:30He's a good player.

00:12:31If you need somebody in the box,

00:12:32you need people

00:12:33to put the ball in the box.

00:12:35They don't have wide players

00:12:36who supply the ball

00:12:37that Lauren Shanklin wants

00:12:38or the guy they know.

00:12:40Well, they're going to have to

00:12:41make a big call

00:12:42on somebody like Gisama

00:12:43and whether they bring him back.

00:12:45They're going to have to look

00:12:46and say to themselves,

00:12:48we're going to offload a few.

00:12:49We need to get somebody

00:12:50who can get that supply

00:12:51into the box.

00:12:52Shanklin, certainly,

00:12:52I don't think his mobility

00:12:54is great.

00:12:55I do think that when he's

00:12:56in and around the 18,

00:12:5720 yards,

00:12:58you're thinking to yourself

00:12:59there's a goal coming here.

00:13:00Best finish in the country.

00:13:02There's no doubt about that.

00:13:02Yeah, absolutely.

00:13:03Do you know who he reminds me of?

00:13:04He reminds me of Boyd.

00:13:06Boyd was the same.

00:13:06Not a lot of great movement,

00:13:08but if you were anywhere...

00:13:09I think Shanklin's

00:13:10a better footballer as well.

00:13:11He's better than

00:13:11all-in-mate Burnley.

00:13:12Hold on a minute.

00:13:13I think he's a better footballer

00:13:13than Chris Boyd,

00:13:14Lonnie Shanklin.

00:13:15Do you think so?

00:13:15Oh, absolutely.

00:13:16All-round.

00:13:17All-round better football player.

00:13:19Boyd was a fantastic finisher,

00:13:20but I think all-round game.

00:13:21That's an interesting one.

00:13:22I'll put that to him

00:13:24at the five of sites.

00:13:25He's a better

00:13:26than all-in-mate Burnley.

00:13:30Oh, there's a shout,

00:13:31Raffi, eh?

00:13:31You'll be able to love that one.

00:13:32Oh, by the way,

00:13:33if you're going to score a goal

00:13:34just to kind of a...

00:13:36How much?

00:13:37200 million,

00:13:38something like that,

00:13:38to the club?

00:13:39Oh, it's worth a fortune.

00:13:40It's worth a fortune.

00:13:41I think it's the most expensive

00:13:43game in the world

00:13:43in terms of the...

00:13:44Yeah.

00:13:45I can remember

00:13:46Stephen Pearson

00:13:47moving to

00:13:48Derby County

00:13:49and he scored the goal

00:13:51and it was worth

00:13:5160 million.

00:13:52That was a good...

00:13:53well over a decade ago.

00:13:55Now you're talking

00:13:56not only 200 million

00:13:57but if you look at them...

00:13:58Charlie Haddon played

00:13:59in that game for Blackpool

00:14:00and got them up as well.

00:14:01I think Stephen Dobie was...

00:14:03I don't know if he was

00:14:03at Blackpool

00:14:04or was it Crystal Palace

00:14:05or somebody

00:14:05but there was a few

00:14:06Scottish guys.

00:14:06Kenny Muller, I think,

00:14:07played in it with Wolves.

00:14:08Yeah.

00:14:09So there's...

00:14:10Obviously got some bonus

00:14:11I would think.

00:14:12I think the rumour was

00:14:13you'd get your wages doubled

00:14:15if you went up

00:14:15in the Premier League.

00:14:16Every player's

00:14:18their wages doubled.

00:14:19See, when you said that,

00:14:20Tam, I'm going to put that

00:14:20out as a poll

00:14:21because you've just actually...

00:14:23You know, you've really

00:14:24kind of put the...

00:14:25the thought into my head,

00:14:27who's the better...

00:14:27Who's the better player?

00:14:29Lauren Shankman

00:14:30or Chris Boyd?

00:14:31Because Chris Boyd's

00:14:31goal-scoring...

00:14:32Listen, Chris Boyd

00:14:33was a phenomenal goal-scorer

00:14:34and I played against

00:14:35Chris Boyd

00:14:36and give him a chance.

00:14:37I think he's probably

00:14:38a better finisher

00:14:39than Shankman

00:14:39in terms of natural finishing

00:14:41but all-round game,

00:14:42I think Shankman's

00:14:43probably better.

00:14:44We'll put it out in a poll

00:14:45and see where we go with it.

00:14:46Not that anybody's

00:14:47going to get battered for it.

00:14:49Talking about our quiz,

00:14:51Elite Joynery

00:14:52and Fire Protection.

00:14:53It's the 25th of May,

00:14:54Ravi.

00:14:55You know what that means,

00:14:56don't you?

00:14:5725th of May.

00:14:58It's quite a famous date.

00:15:00Are you aware of that?

00:15:01I know there's a lot

00:15:02of World Cup.

00:15:02Celtic won the European Cup.

00:15:03Celtic won the European Cup

00:15:04on the 25th of May,

00:15:061967,

00:15:07so I thought we'd

00:15:08throw in that.

00:15:08And the guy who played

00:15:09Celtic didn't even know that.

00:15:10How many...

00:15:11Exactly.

00:15:12I don't know the date,

00:15:13I know it was 67.

00:15:13How many major troph...

00:15:15Well done.

00:15:16How many major trophies

00:15:17have Celtic won

00:15:18in their history?

00:15:18Do you want to have a go?

00:15:20Major, I'm talking...

00:15:21So, Scottish Cup,

00:15:22League Cup,

00:15:23and...

00:15:24League and all.

00:15:25League and major trophies,

00:15:27so the European Cup.

00:15:28I'll go 150.

00:15:30150?

00:15:31I'll go 116.

00:15:33116.

00:15:34OK, give us your answer

00:15:35to that one.

00:15:36We'll announce the answer

00:15:38for our Elite Joynery

00:15:39and Fire Protection quiz.

00:15:41Don't forget,

00:15:42if you go onto their website,

00:15:43they'll help your business

00:15:45with all the safety doors.

00:15:46Damien,

00:15:47really good friend of mine

00:15:48until the last couple of weeks

00:15:49when eventually

00:15:50he just started hanging about

00:15:51with other people.

00:15:53For golf.

00:15:55For golf.

00:15:56That's it, Ruffy.

00:15:57Tam's taken a leaf out of your book.

00:15:59Any mates of mine,

00:16:00he just nixed them.

00:16:00And a very nice mate.

00:16:01I mean, I think,

00:16:02it was good company, wasn't it?

00:16:03Aye, he's a good lad.

00:16:04Aye, he's a great lad.

00:16:05Likes loves his golf.

00:16:06Would you like me to give you

00:16:07a list of any other

00:16:08remaining mates I have

00:16:09so that you can

00:16:10just leech onto them as well

00:16:12because obviously

00:16:13we had the Duffies

00:16:14and you got meals

00:16:16out of them.

00:16:17Obviously, I've got a few.

00:16:18Kakoza, you got a car

00:16:20out of him.

00:16:22What have we got, actually?

00:16:23I know,

00:16:24I was just about to say,

00:16:25none of your mates

00:16:26have delivered anything.

00:16:27Your mates don't have

00:16:28anything to deliver.

00:16:29No, none.

00:16:31So, give us the answer.

00:16:32How many major trophies

00:16:34for Celtic?

00:16:35And when you look at

00:16:36the 25th of May, 1967,

00:16:39and what a team

00:16:40that was there.

00:16:43Absolutely incredible, Ruffy.

00:16:44When you think of the talent

00:16:45that's there

00:16:47in that,

00:16:48and there's another

00:16:49great argument

00:16:49we're going to do for...

00:16:50They're all born within what?

00:16:51Was it 10 miles?

00:16:5230 miles.

00:16:53I think Bobby Lennox

00:16:54was the furthest

00:16:55at Solcoats.

00:16:55But the one thing

00:16:56I was going to say,

00:16:57Ruffy,

00:16:57and we're going to do

00:16:58a programme on it

00:16:58in the journals

00:16:59because I think

00:16:59it's worthy of it,

00:17:00I look there to

00:17:01one of the players,

00:17:02Jimmy Johnson,

00:17:04who, you know,

00:17:05for me at the time,

00:17:06I wonder why he's not

00:17:08held in the same regard

00:17:09as George Best.

00:17:10I can't work it out.

00:17:12I genuinely...

00:17:13I think it's got

00:17:14George Best

00:17:14played down in England.

00:17:15But at that time,

00:17:16Scottish clubs were

00:17:17just as good,

00:17:18if not better,

00:17:19than English clubs.

00:17:20You know,

00:17:20like some English people

00:17:22are,

00:17:22they don't,

00:17:22sort of a rater game,

00:17:24but Chinky was up

00:17:25better.

00:17:25I mean,

00:17:26Chinky did get,

00:17:26when he played

00:17:27in the representative,

00:17:28he got picked to play

00:17:29for the rest of the world.

00:17:31Yeah.

00:17:31Sort of Willie Henderson.

00:17:32That's right.

00:17:33So, I mean,

00:17:33somebody must have saw

00:17:34how good they were

00:17:35to bring them into that.

00:17:36Well, as I said to you

00:17:37before,

00:17:38and I always love

00:17:38telling this story,

00:17:39as Jimmy Johnson

00:17:40said to me in an interview,

00:17:41I was in his house

00:17:43and he had nothing

00:17:44in his house,

00:17:44Tam,

00:17:45that you would,

00:17:46I mean,

00:17:46Agnes ran a tight ship,

00:17:48so there's nothing

00:17:49in the house

00:17:49that would suggest

00:17:50this guy played football,

00:17:52unlike mine,

00:17:52when you think,

00:17:53I've spent an entire

00:17:54career with David Bowie

00:17:55and Henrik Larsson,

00:17:57but there was

00:17:59nothing in the house,

00:18:00it was immaculate.

00:18:01And Chinky sat down,

00:18:02I put the camera on

00:18:03and we were sitting

00:18:03down for the interview

00:18:05and he said to me

00:18:06that when Celtic won

00:18:07the European Cup,

00:18:08the winners of the

00:18:09European Cup

00:18:09were invited,

00:18:10especially that year,

00:18:11the winners would play

00:18:14in Alfredo de Stefano's

00:18:15testimonial.

00:18:16So, in the Bernabeu,

00:18:17there was about

00:18:18120,000 there

00:18:19and he absolutely

00:18:21tore it.

00:18:22I remember,

00:18:22I've seen the footage.

00:18:23He was fantastic,

00:18:25I mean,

00:18:25he absolutely,

00:18:25he was beating everybody

00:18:27and I said to him,

00:18:30basically,

00:18:31you know,

00:18:31what was it like?

00:18:32He said,

00:18:32it was unbelievable,

00:18:33he says,

00:18:34de Stefano used to,

00:18:35at the end of each game,

00:18:37you know,

00:18:37sometimes if they'd

00:18:38wanted,

00:18:38hold the ball up

00:18:40into the,

00:18:42what do you call it,

00:18:43into the sky

00:18:44and also the floodlights,

00:18:46you know,

00:18:46so that everybody

00:18:47would cheer

00:18:47and he says,

00:18:49and Jinky at the end

00:18:49of the game

00:18:50just lifted the ball

00:18:51and put it up

00:18:52in the air,

00:18:52you know,

00:18:53and at the end of it

00:18:54when they all went

00:18:54for the reception

00:18:55afterwards,

00:18:55Jimmy said to us

00:18:56that Alfredo de Stefano

00:18:59said to him,

00:18:59you come for this photograph

00:19:01and he says,

00:19:02and I looked

00:19:03and he says,

00:19:03it was de Stefano,

00:19:04Gento,

00:19:05Santa Maria

00:19:05and Puskas

00:19:07and Jimmy said,

00:19:08no,

00:19:09I mean,

00:19:09there's no way

00:19:10I'm in this photograph

00:19:11and he went,

00:19:12you're worthy,

00:19:12get in here,

00:19:13you know,

00:19:14and then of course

00:19:15Jockstein said

00:19:16Real Madrid had offered

00:19:18I think somewhat

00:19:19£100,000 for him

00:19:20and he said,

00:19:21what,

00:19:21per game?

00:19:24The thing about it was

00:19:25he was an entertainer,

00:19:27he's something

00:19:27we'll never see

00:19:28the likes of again.

00:19:29Oh,

00:19:30magnificent.

00:19:30Somebody like that

00:19:31who takes people on,

00:19:32goes by people.

00:19:33Messi's like that,

00:19:34isn't he?

00:19:34Yeah,

00:19:35I know,

00:19:35but in his era,

00:19:36he's a dying breed now.

00:19:37In Scotland as well,

00:19:38you won't see

00:19:39any winger like that

00:19:41and it's all about

00:19:42pace now,

00:19:43you see it with Maeda,

00:19:44it's about pace

00:19:45and,

00:19:45you know,

00:19:46Do you know what I loved

00:19:47that he used to be able

00:19:47to do,

00:19:48Ruffy,

00:19:48the two of them

00:19:49were different types of players,

00:19:50Willie Henderson

00:19:50was a different type of player

00:19:51from Jimmy Johnson

00:19:52but Jimmy Johnson

00:19:53if he was going to beat you,

00:19:54he scooped the ball

00:19:56up over you

00:19:56as your leg was coming

00:19:57in to do him

00:19:58and he'd scoop it away.

00:20:00You're absolutely right,

00:20:01Ruffy.

00:20:01There's another one,

00:20:02Willie Henderson

00:20:03or Jimmy Johnson,

00:20:04who wins that one?

00:20:06Well,

00:20:07he was a great player too

00:20:08but,

00:20:09you know,

00:20:09he's a different style

00:20:10of player,

00:20:10he was more speed

00:20:12getting down the wing

00:20:13and crossing it.

00:20:14I sat in the inaugural,

00:20:17inaugural,

00:20:18I don't know what I said,

00:20:20the Hall of Fame

00:20:21at Hamden

00:20:23while he was sitting

00:20:24beside me

00:20:24and when they announced

00:20:25the first 11 players

00:20:27he broke down in tears

00:20:28because he wasn't in it.

00:20:31Well,

00:20:32listen,

00:20:33he also was selected

00:20:34for the rest of the world,

00:20:35he was a great player too.

00:20:37It's a great pub argument,

00:20:38isn't it?

00:20:38Mm-hmm.

00:20:39But nevertheless,

00:20:40give us your answer

00:20:41to the quiz.

00:20:42Thank you to so many of you

00:20:44for putting your

00:20:46Tuppensworth in there.

00:20:47David Coleman

00:20:48called him

00:20:48the little magician

00:20:49during the 1970s

00:20:51Home Nations game,

00:20:52says the Flying Haggis.

00:20:53You're absolutely right.

00:20:54A little bit of snobbery,

00:20:55I think,

00:20:56from quite a few people

00:20:57down south,

00:20:59maybe,

00:20:59when you don't see

00:21:00them playing

00:21:01at the absolute peak

00:21:03up here in Scotland.

00:21:04That may have been

00:21:05the case as well

00:21:06but he certainly

00:21:06was a special player.

00:21:08Lots to talk about.

00:21:09Give us your thoughts

00:21:10on Lauren Shanklin.

00:21:11Is he going to be

00:21:11a really good

00:21:13player for Rangers?

00:21:14Is it going to be

00:21:15a good signing?

00:21:16And we might as well

00:21:17talk about what's happened

00:21:18over the weekend

00:21:19because Celtic

00:21:20completed the double.

00:21:223-1 win

00:21:23over Dunfermline.

00:21:24I don't think

00:21:25too many people

00:21:25fancied Dunfermline

00:21:26to cause the upset.

00:21:27What did you make

00:21:28of the game?

00:21:28I thought the first

00:21:2945 minutes,

00:21:30I thought Celtic

00:21:31was very good

00:21:31as we've seen

00:21:32on numerous occasions

00:21:33throughout the season

00:21:35but can't maintain it

00:21:36for the 90.

00:21:37All credit to Dunfermline.

00:21:39Me Lenny

00:21:40shuffled the pack

00:21:40a bit too up front.

00:21:42Did he make a mistake?

00:21:43Should he have gone

00:21:44with Kane earlier?

00:21:45No, I don't think

00:21:46he would have

00:21:47a game plan.

00:21:47He would have certainly

00:21:48at the beginning

00:21:49of the game

00:21:49he would have thought

00:21:50that was the right

00:21:51selection

00:21:52but sometimes

00:21:53when a game

00:21:53pans out

00:21:54and he was

00:21:55like all good managers

00:21:56he identified

00:21:57at a half time

00:21:58he never hung about

00:21:58to 60, 70 minutes

00:22:00he said

00:22:01let's get two strikers

00:22:02on

00:22:02and the two strikers

00:22:03worked

00:22:03they caused

00:22:04a bit of problem

00:22:05at the Celtic

00:22:06at the back

00:22:07and I think

00:22:08on the basis

00:22:08of the second half

00:22:10performance

00:22:11they justified

00:22:12being to a final

00:22:13from a championship

00:22:14side.

00:22:15Yeah.

00:22:15Tam?

00:22:17Yeah, I think

00:22:17similar to what Ruffy

00:22:18just said there

00:22:19I thought there was

00:22:19a real gap

00:22:20in quality

00:22:21between the trides

00:22:22I think Dunfermline

00:22:23doing fantastically

00:22:24well to get there

00:22:25beating Aberdeen

00:22:26Hibbs Falkert

00:22:26Falkert was probably

00:22:28their final

00:22:28let's be honest

00:22:29that was their final

00:22:30to beat Falkert

00:22:31their big rivals

00:22:31and get to the final

00:22:33was outstanding

00:22:33they've made a lot

00:22:34of money

00:22:34with the Scottish

00:22:35Cup run as well

00:22:36they've got a really

00:22:36really young squad

00:22:37maybe some of them

00:22:38froze on the big day

00:22:39I think they'd maybe

00:22:40be better for the

00:22:41experience

00:22:42and they did

00:22:43come into the game

00:22:44more in the second half

00:22:45but I thought Celtic

00:22:45cruised it

00:22:46I thought Celtic

00:22:46absolutely cruised the game

00:22:473-0 up

00:22:49obviously Dunfermline

00:22:50got the goal back

00:22:50but it was a cruise

00:22:51for Celtic

00:22:52and a real strong

00:22:53end to the season

00:22:54for Celtic

00:22:55I think won the last

00:22:56eight or nine games

00:22:57to win the double

00:22:58so they've finished

00:22:59really strongly

00:23:01and it augurs well

00:23:02for next season

00:23:03does it augur well

00:23:03for next season

00:23:04what augurs well

00:23:05for next season

00:23:06I think it augurs well

00:23:07that Celtic

00:23:08have finished

00:23:09the season strong

00:23:09and they've shown

00:23:10that they're still

00:23:10the team to beat

00:23:11in Scotland

00:23:13and I don't know

00:23:14who the new manager

00:23:14is going to be

00:23:15who do you think

00:23:16it's going to be

00:23:16who the person

00:23:17thinks it's going to be

00:23:18I've said it for a long time

00:23:19I think about Martin O'Neill

00:23:20I think he'll get offered

00:23:21it and I think he'll take it

00:23:22I think he's got two

00:23:23young coaches there

00:23:24who can do all the training

00:23:25and do the grafting

00:23:26and Martin can just go

00:23:27and do what he's been doing

00:23:28go and get in people's ears

00:23:29and manage people

00:23:31so I think Martin

00:23:32will be the new

00:23:32I think Martin

00:23:33will be the manager

00:23:34next season

00:23:35he hasn't said no

00:23:37he hasn't said no

00:23:39to anything

00:23:40anybody's asked him

00:23:41he hasn't went

00:23:41no I've had it

00:23:42that was great

00:23:42brilliant

00:23:43really enjoyed it

00:23:44catch you later

00:23:44he's left it

00:23:46wee sound bites

00:23:47out there

00:23:47you know

00:23:48it's a hard job

00:23:49when you're 74

00:23:50he obviously wants it

00:23:51then doesn't he

00:23:51he does want it

00:23:52yeah

00:23:52I mean he'd take it

00:23:54if they offered him it

00:23:55there's no doubt

00:23:55in my mind

00:23:56he'll take it

00:23:56it depends

00:23:56whether the Celtic

00:23:58supporters want

00:23:59a short term fix

00:24:00or a long term

00:24:01you know

00:24:02I think Celtic

00:24:03have got to look

00:24:04into the long term

00:24:05I'm talking about

00:24:06if Martin just comes in

00:24:08for another year

00:24:09you know

00:24:09the players

00:24:10it'd be attractive

00:24:12to come to Celtic

00:24:12if we want a three

00:24:13or a four year deal

00:24:14so you've got to say

00:24:16well is this manager

00:24:16going to be here

00:24:17if I'm signing a three

00:24:18or four deal

00:24:19is he just here

00:24:20for a year

00:24:20are you giving him

00:24:21a year

00:24:21are you saying two

00:24:22well I think

00:24:23the sound bites

00:24:24of you know

00:24:25that he's saying

00:24:26I mean

00:24:26can you imagine

00:24:27what it's like

00:24:28to walk into Celtic

00:24:29every morning

00:24:30at whatever time

00:24:30eight o'clock

00:24:31and having to run

00:24:32a club of that magnitude

00:24:33and not just

00:24:34on the training park

00:24:35I mean everything else

00:24:36that goes on about

00:24:37you know

00:24:37phone calls

00:24:38it's not a bad point

00:24:39because 26 years ago

00:24:41when he came into Celtic

00:24:42he actually

00:24:43ran everything

00:24:44I mean he was

00:24:45at the centre of it

00:24:46nothing was done

00:24:47without him saying

00:24:48yes or no

00:24:48so

00:24:49there was a greater

00:24:51control in 2000

00:24:53when Martin came in

00:24:54than there is now

00:24:55there's lots of

00:24:57different factions

00:24:58and things that go on

00:24:59that I think would

00:24:59annoy the life out of him

00:25:01but if it was just

00:25:02a situation

00:25:03I think there are

00:25:04two elements of it

00:25:05that he would

00:25:05absolutely be

00:25:07you know

00:25:08relying on the likes

00:25:09of Sean Maloney

00:25:10and Mark Fotheringham

00:25:11but relying on

00:25:12other people is

00:25:13quite simply

00:25:14somebody would say

00:25:15to him

00:25:15there's players

00:25:16coming in here

00:25:16that you haven't seen

00:25:18you know

00:25:19because before

00:25:20Martin walked in

00:25:21and went

00:25:21right

00:25:23I'll have

00:25:23Neil Lennon

00:25:24I don't care

00:25:25when you get him

00:25:25get him up here

00:25:27you know

00:25:28he inherited

00:25:29a world class

00:25:29player in Larson

00:25:30he inherited

00:25:31a Champions League

00:25:32winner in Paul Lambert

00:25:33he signed Sutton

00:25:34he signed Sutton

00:25:35you know what I mean

00:25:36so he was able

00:25:37and then

00:25:37what he did was

00:25:39he was able to

00:25:39turn around

00:25:40and say

00:25:40I want

00:25:42tall

00:25:43physical

00:25:44centre-halves

00:25:45and then

00:25:46he was able

00:25:46to play

00:25:46his 3-5-2

00:25:47he brought

00:25:47Alan Thompson

00:25:48so

00:25:49you know

00:25:49he was able

00:25:50to bring players

00:25:51that he knew

00:25:52he's not quite

00:25:53at that level

00:25:54where I think

00:25:54he knows as much

00:25:55but he can rely

00:25:56on other people

00:25:56he's already

00:25:57went on record

00:25:58saying I've got

00:25:58nine guys

00:25:59coming back

00:25:59I don't even know

00:26:01I don't even know

00:26:02who they are

00:26:02the boys that have

00:26:04been out and lowing

00:26:04so that's another

00:26:05headache

00:26:06how's he going

00:26:07to assess

00:26:08these guys

00:26:08that are coming back

00:26:09and is somebody

00:26:10else going to

00:26:10assess them

00:26:11I think it's a

00:26:12massive job

00:26:13and I don't think

00:26:14he's done anything

00:26:14wrong

00:26:15I've always said

00:26:16if it's not the

00:26:16manager he should

00:26:17be part of Celtic

00:26:18moving forward

00:26:19I don't know

00:26:20whether that's a

00:26:20chief executive

00:26:21or whether he's

00:26:22on the board

00:26:22or whatever

00:26:23I don't mean

00:26:24director of sport

00:26:25or anything like that

00:26:26I just mean

00:26:27these board of

00:26:29directors who have

00:26:29been getting

00:26:30absolute pelters

00:26:31for the whole year

00:26:31must realise

00:26:32keeping Martin

00:26:34O'Neill on board

00:26:35stops some of

00:26:36the protests

00:26:37the protests

00:26:38will not go away

00:26:38they'll still be

00:26:39there

00:26:39but I don't

00:26:40remember anybody

00:26:41talking about

00:26:41protests in the

00:26:42last two months

00:26:43since Martin O'Neill

00:26:44was there

00:26:44and if they're

00:26:45sensible enough

00:26:46they've got to

00:26:47keep him on board

00:26:48if it's a manager

00:26:49fair enough

00:26:49he's got to be

00:26:50there

00:26:51he's got to be

00:26:51seen to be

00:26:53congratulated

00:26:53for what he's

00:26:54done

00:26:54I think that's

00:26:55the overriding

00:26:56issue here

00:26:57which is

00:26:58what I call

00:26:59them and I've

00:26:59called them all

00:27:00season

00:27:00the self

00:27:01preservation

00:27:01board

00:27:02I think

00:27:03they'll be

00:27:03looking and

00:27:03thinking he's

00:27:04going to take

00:27:04the heat off

00:27:06every one

00:27:06of us

00:27:06easy option

00:27:07Peter

00:27:08I think if

00:27:08they go down

00:27:09the road

00:27:09of another

00:27:10manager

00:27:11they've done

00:27:11that with

00:27:12Wilfred

00:27:12Nonsien

00:27:12it was an

00:27:13unmitigated

00:27:13disaster

00:27:14they get

00:27:15slaughtered

00:27:15they went

00:27:16back cap

00:27:17in hand

00:27:17to Martin

00:27:17O'Neill

00:27:18can you imagine

00:27:19they go and

00:27:19they go

00:27:19right ok

00:27:20Martin

00:27:20thanks

00:27:20but no

00:27:21thanks

00:27:21we're going

00:27:22in a different

00:27:22direction

00:27:23their signings

00:27:24haven't been

00:27:24great either

00:27:24no

00:27:25and they go

00:27:26and get a

00:27:26foreign manager

00:27:26or they go

00:27:27and get

00:27:27somebody

00:27:28a new manager

00:27:28and then six

00:27:29months in

00:27:29sell to

00:27:30are crap

00:27:31and they go

00:27:31cap in hand

00:27:32again to

00:27:32Martin

00:27:32can you

00:27:33come in

00:27:33and save

00:27:33us again

00:27:34so I

00:27:35think the

00:27:36safe option

00:27:37and I think

00:27:37the one that

00:27:38causes the

00:27:39less grief

00:27:39for the

00:27:40Celtic board

00:27:41is Martin

00:27:41O'Neill

00:27:41again

00:27:42Robbie Keane

00:27:43outside chance

00:27:44I don't see

00:27:45it Peter

00:27:45no I don't

00:27:46see it

00:27:47I think if

00:27:48it's not

00:27:48going to be

00:27:48Martin O'Neill

00:27:49I think it

00:27:49could possibly

00:27:50be Martin

00:27:50O'Neill

00:27:51Brian says

00:27:52Dermot Desmond

00:27:53will pull a

00:27:53rabbit out

00:27:54of the

00:27:54hat

00:27:56I'll tell

00:27:57you if he's

00:27:57going to pull

00:27:58a rabbit out

00:27:58of the hat

00:27:59he's going to

00:27:59have to do

00:27:59it pretty

00:27:59quickly

00:28:00because a

00:28:01manager's got

00:28:02to come in

00:28:02and understand

00:28:03what's going

00:28:04on in there

00:28:04and there's a

00:28:05massive clear

00:28:05out coming

00:28:06you're talking

00:28:06about players

00:28:07coming back

00:28:07of all the

00:28:08players coming

00:28:08back

00:28:10that I was

00:28:10looking at

00:28:11today

00:28:12can't see

00:28:13any of them

00:28:13with a future

00:28:14at Celtic

00:28:14and the ones

00:28:15that everybody's

00:28:17putting a list

00:28:17together on

00:28:18I mean if you

00:28:19look at

00:28:20Maida

00:28:21gone

00:28:37that whole

00:28:38dilemma for

00:28:39them before

00:28:39he

00:28:41a sound

00:28:43hard job

00:28:49so he's

00:28:50letting them

00:28:50know

00:28:51don't be

00:28:52hanging about

00:28:52here

00:28:53somebody better

00:28:53phone me

00:28:54and somebody

00:28:55better ask me

00:28:56the question

00:28:56whether we come

00:28:57to an agreement

00:28:58or not

00:28:58but he's put a

00:29:00wee bit of

00:29:00pressure on the

00:29:01board to not

00:29:01hang about

00:29:02or the owner

00:29:03rather

00:29:03to make that

00:29:04call

00:29:05Yeah it'll

00:29:06be interesting

00:29:06to see

00:29:07what do you

00:29:07think

00:29:07who do you

00:29:08think is going

00:29:08to be the

00:29:08Celtic manager

00:29:09we've started

00:29:10the show

00:29:10talking about

00:29:11Rangers

00:29:12talking about

00:29:12Celtic

00:29:13I do think

00:29:14we have to

00:29:14pay tribute

00:29:14to Dunfermline

00:29:15Neil Lennon

00:29:16it's a

00:29:17it's a

00:29:17play-off

00:29:18just came up

00:29:19short

00:29:19and a cut

00:29:20final

00:29:21that is

00:29:22remarkable

00:29:22the job

00:29:23he's done

00:29:23in there

00:29:23Yeah he has

00:29:24I think

00:29:25when he

00:29:25took over

00:29:26at Dunfermline

00:29:26they were

00:29:26in deep

00:29:27trouble

00:29:27in relegation

00:29:28trouble

00:29:28and I think

00:29:29they were

00:29:29sitting in the

00:29:30bottom two

00:29:30or three

00:29:30you know he's

00:29:31kept them up

00:29:32that season

00:29:32this season

00:29:33he's went

00:29:33very young

00:29:34I think a lot

00:29:35of the players

00:29:35that they've

00:29:35signed are young

00:29:36I think they'll

00:29:37be a lot

00:29:37better next

00:29:37season

00:29:39and he's

00:29:39got them

00:29:39into the

00:29:40playoffs

00:29:40and he's

00:29:40got them

00:29:40a Scottish

00:29:41cup final

00:29:41beating three

00:29:42premiership

00:29:42teams

00:29:42so Neil's

00:29:43done a

00:29:43fantastic job

00:29:44at Dunfermline

00:29:44and he'll

00:29:45be looking

00:29:45to kick

00:29:46on I

00:29:46think next

00:29:46season

00:29:47you will

00:29:47see a

00:29:48strong

00:29:48Dunfermline

00:29:48because

00:29:49they've

00:29:49banked a

00:29:49lot of

00:29:49money

00:29:49they've

00:29:50got a

00:29:51strong

00:29:51backing

00:29:51strong

00:29:52owners

00:29:52and I

00:29:53think

00:29:53Dunfermline

00:29:53will be

00:29:53one of

00:29:54the favourites

00:29:54to win

00:29:55that

00:29:55championship

00:29:55next season

00:29:56yeah

00:29:56he's

00:29:57definitely

00:29:57a manager

00:29:58that

00:29:59maybe thrust

00:30:00into it

00:30:00young

00:30:01having

00:30:02stopped

00:30:02playing

00:30:02but the

00:30:03experience

00:30:04he's got

00:30:04I mean

00:30:06I look

00:30:06at his CV

00:30:07and sometimes

00:30:07I can't

00:30:08believe

00:30:09some clubs

00:30:10haven't

00:30:10actually

00:30:10taken a

00:30:11chance

00:30:12on him

00:30:12again

00:30:12I say

00:30:13take a

00:30:13chance

00:30:13I don't

00:30:14think

00:30:14they need

00:30:14to take

00:30:14a chance

00:30:15but

00:30:16Dunfermline

00:30:16came

00:30:17calling

00:30:18and I

00:30:19think

00:30:19even

00:30:19Neil

00:30:20might have

00:30:20been

00:30:20a little

00:30:20bit

00:30:20surprised

00:30:21at his

00:30:22record

00:30:22I think

00:30:25was it

00:30:27Nicosia

00:30:28in Cyprus

00:30:29he won

00:30:30the cup

00:30:30for them

00:30:31you know

00:30:31I mean

00:30:32he's got

00:30:32a good

00:30:32is it

00:30:33Budapest

00:30:34somewhere

00:30:35didn't work

00:30:36out

00:30:36it wasn't

00:30:37a great

00:30:38choice

00:30:38to go

00:30:38there

00:30:39I think

00:30:39if you

00:30:39listen to

00:30:39Martin

00:30:39O'Neill

00:30:40the way

00:30:40he reflects

00:30:41on his

00:30:42time with

00:30:43Neil

00:30:43everything

00:30:43is so

00:30:44positive

00:30:44he was

00:30:45a big

00:30:45major

00:30:46player

00:30:46when he

00:30:46brought

00:30:47him up

00:30:47and even

00:30:48at the

00:30:48time he

00:30:49was there

00:30:49he was

00:30:49a major

00:30:50player

00:30:50I think

00:30:50Martin

00:30:51knows

00:30:51what he

00:30:52brings

00:30:52to the

00:30:52game

00:30:53and certainly

00:30:53I think

00:30:54Dunfermline

00:30:54have won

00:30:55a watch

00:30:55because as

00:30:56you said

00:30:57there I

00:30:57think some

00:30:57Premier League

00:30:58teams could have

00:30:59took him

00:30:59I'm talking

00:30:59about

00:31:00Aberdeen

00:31:01you know

00:31:02that kind

00:31:02of

00:31:06he's done

00:31:06well

00:31:07as Tom

00:31:08said

00:31:08they've got a

00:31:08young team

00:31:09they'll learn

00:31:10from that

00:31:10final

00:31:11I said it

00:31:12earlier

00:31:12I do think

00:31:13they'll lose

00:31:14the boy

00:31:14Mullin

00:31:15because

00:31:16he was at

00:31:17the game

00:31:17watching him

00:31:18but he wasn't

00:31:18playing

00:31:19but I

00:31:20think

00:31:20he's

00:31:20got his

00:31:21eye on

00:31:21him

00:31:21and he's

00:31:22moved very

00:31:22quick

00:31:23getting the

00:31:23Comarnock

00:31:24boys

00:31:24Mayo

00:31:25and the

00:31:26other

00:31:26young

00:31:26so

00:31:27he's

00:31:28actively

00:31:28getting

00:31:28players

00:31:29in

00:31:29but I

00:31:29think

00:31:29if you can't

00:31:30remember them

00:31:31he'd just say

00:31:31the other

00:31:31young

00:31:33Mayo

00:31:33and

00:31:34I can't

00:31:35remember

00:31:35the other

00:31:35one

00:31:35anyway

00:31:36Naze

00:31:37who

00:33:36hopeless

00:33:37ok

00:33:38listen

00:33:38there's a lot

00:33:40of big

00:33:40decisions for

00:33:41hearts to

00:33:42make

00:33:42now

00:33:43they now

00:33:44know that

00:33:44they're going

00:33:44to play

00:33:45either

00:33:45Sturmgratz

00:33:45or Fener

00:33:46Bacci

00:33:46in the

00:33:47Champions

00:33:47League

00:33:47qualifier

00:33:48too

00:33:48now I tell

00:33:50you what I'm

00:33:50really looking

00:33:51forward to

00:33:51from the

00:33:52jambos

00:33:52is quite

00:33:53simply

00:33:54the change

00:33:55because

00:33:56everybody's

00:33:56been talking

00:33:57about

00:33:58Jamestown

00:33:59analytics

00:34:00I am going

00:34:02to say

00:34:02something here

00:34:02and I don't

00:34:03know if it's

00:34:03not controversial

00:34:04it's just

00:34:05something to

00:34:05debate

00:34:06I don't think

00:34:07Jamestown

00:34:07analytics played

00:34:08a major role

00:34:09in Derek

00:34:09McInnes'

00:34:10heart side

00:34:10this season

00:34:11I think

00:34:14you're talking

00:34:15about a team

00:34:15that was

00:34:15already there

00:34:16and he

00:34:17tweaked it

00:34:17here and

00:34:18there

00:34:18I don't

00:34:19think there

00:34:19was anybody

00:34:20coming in

00:34:20that strategically

00:34:22changed that

00:34:23whole set up

00:34:25of players

00:34:25that were

00:34:26there

00:34:26I think

00:34:27Derek deserves

00:34:27a tremendous

00:34:28amount of

00:34:28credit for

00:34:29getting them

00:34:30the points

00:34:30total that

00:34:31they did

00:34:31getting them

00:34:32oh so close

00:34:33to the title

00:34:34but I think

00:34:35this summer

00:34:35is going to

00:34:35be interesting

00:34:36because there

00:34:37is no way

00:34:38that Tony

00:34:38Bloom and

00:34:39that hearts

00:34:40board are not

00:34:40sitting down

00:34:41saying

00:34:42this is

00:34:43a Champions

00:34:44League

00:34:44qualifier

00:34:44if we could

00:34:45get into

00:34:46the group

00:34:46stages

00:34:46what a

00:34:47kitty

00:34:47I think

00:34:47they'll spend

00:34:48money

00:34:48I think

00:34:49they've

00:34:49read today

00:34:50they'd bid

00:34:50750 grand

00:34:52for a defender

00:34:53from York

00:34:53City in England

00:34:54do you think

00:34:54they'll buy

00:34:55the two

00:34:55Falkirk boys

00:34:56I think

00:34:57they've got

00:34:57to be on

00:34:58his thoughts

00:34:58as well

00:34:58I think

00:34:59Calvin

00:34:59Muller

00:34:59especially

00:35:01I think

00:35:01they're going

00:35:03to lose

00:35:03Devlin

00:35:04he's getting

00:35:04linked to

00:35:05the MLS

00:35:06I think

00:35:06they might

00:35:06lose

00:35:07Braga

00:35:08who's

00:35:09had a

00:35:09fantastic

00:35:10season

00:35:10there'll be

00:35:10big clubs

00:35:11in England

00:35:11looking to

00:35:11him

00:35:12they could

00:35:13lose

00:35:13their three

00:35:13best players

00:35:14I think

00:35:14that's

00:35:14their three

00:35:14best players

00:35:15Shankland

00:35:16Devlin

00:35:16and Braga

00:35:18so it

00:35:19remains to

00:35:19be seen

00:35:20but I

00:35:20think

00:35:20they'll

00:35:20spend

00:35:21money

00:35:21as I said

00:35:21there's

00:35:22750 grand

00:35:23bid

00:35:23knockback

00:35:23for the

00:35:24boy

00:35:24from

00:35:24York City

00:35:24today

00:35:26and

00:35:26we'll

00:35:26have to

00:35:27wait and

00:35:27see

00:35:27I think

00:35:28the

00:35:28hearts

00:35:28will be

00:35:28strong

00:35:29again

00:35:29next

00:35:29season

00:35:29but

00:35:29Shankland

00:35:30is a

00:35:30huge

00:35:30blow

00:35:30for

00:35:30him

00:35:31it's

00:35:31going to

00:35:32be

00:35:32interesting

00:35:32to see

00:35:32the type

00:35:33of player

00:35:34that he

00:35:34signs

00:35:34because he's

00:35:35going to

00:35:35have to

00:35:36look for

00:35:37somebody

00:35:37that can

00:35:38I think

00:35:38the season

00:35:39before he

00:35:39was poor

00:35:52Shankland

00:35:53I think

00:35:53they're

00:35:53going to

00:35:53have to

00:35:54look for

00:35:54far more

00:35:55creation

00:35:55they're

00:35:56talking about

00:35:58possibly

00:36:00the likes

00:36:01of a

00:36:01Calvin

00:36:01Miller

00:36:03but it'll

00:36:03be interesting

00:36:03to see

00:36:04the style

00:36:04of team

00:36:05that he

00:36:05builds

00:36:06I don't

00:36:07think

00:36:07he'll

00:36:08vary much

00:36:09from what

00:36:09he's got

00:37:13it another

00:37:13step

00:37:13because one

00:37:14of the

00:37:14things that

00:37:14the hearts

00:37:15fans will

00:37:15be looking

00:37:15at is

00:37:16wait a

00:37:16minute

00:37:17this is

00:37:17July

00:37:18we want

00:37:19Champions

00:37:19League

00:37:19football

00:37:20can you

00:37:20get us

00:37:21and the

00:37:22other

00:37:22side

00:37:22the

00:37:22Rangers

00:37:23and

00:37:25Celtic

00:37:25supporters

00:37:26were

00:37:26saying

00:37:26we're

00:37:26not

00:37:26going

00:37:26to be

00:37:26as

00:37:27bad

00:37:27next

00:37:27year

00:37:29you're

00:37:29not

00:37:29going to

00:37:30get a

00:37:31free

00:37:32rain

00:37:32the way

00:37:32you

00:37:32got

00:37:33this

00:37:33year

00:37:33so we're

00:37:34going to be

00:37:34better

00:37:34I think

00:37:35they will

00:37:36bring in

00:37:39players of

00:37:39750,000

00:37:41I think

00:37:42Celtic

00:37:42Rangers

00:37:42will be

00:37:43talking

00:37:433 million

00:37:444 million

00:37:44players

00:37:45right enough

00:37:45you've got

00:37:46to pick

00:37:46the right

00:37:46ones

00:37:46but I

00:37:47don't think

00:37:48they'll have

00:37:48a challenge

00:37:49from such

00:37:50two bad

00:37:51teams

00:37:52as they

00:37:52did this

00:37:53year

00:37:54that's the

00:37:54key to it

00:37:55all

00:37:56you're right

00:37:56about the

00:37:56expectations

00:37:57Peter

00:37:59what will

00:38:00be the

00:38:00expectations

00:38:00for Hearts

00:38:01next year

00:38:02to go and

00:38:03challenge for

00:38:03the league

00:38:03title again

00:38:05that's going

00:38:05to be

00:38:06difficult

00:38:06and obviously

00:38:09when Tony

00:38:10Bloom came

00:38:10in he had

00:38:10a 10 year

00:38:11plan to

00:38:12win the

00:38:12championship

00:38:14at Hearts

00:38:14they've nearly

00:38:15done it in

00:38:15year one

00:38:15so who's

00:38:18to say

00:38:18that they

00:38:18won't

00:38:18but certainly

00:38:20Union St

00:38:20Galois

00:38:21and Belgium

00:38:22he got them

00:38:23from nowhere

00:38:24and they won

00:38:25the league

00:38:25so it remains

00:38:27to be seen

00:38:27how they do

00:38:28what sort of

00:38:28business they

00:38:29do and what

00:38:29sort of money

00:38:30they spend

00:38:30in the summer

00:38:30because if

00:38:31they're going

00:38:31to go and

00:38:31challenge for

00:38:32a lead title

00:38:32they're going

00:38:32to spend

00:38:33a few

00:38:33million

00:38:33pound

00:38:34at least

00:38:34the most

00:38:35painful

00:38:35part for

00:38:35me

00:38:36Ruffy

00:38:36is

00:38:37when I

00:38:38look at

00:38:39the whole

00:38:39thing

00:38:39I am

00:38:40absolutely

00:38:41gutted to

00:38:41see Jens

00:38:42Bertha

00:38:42Lascaux

00:38:43leave

00:38:44after only

00:38:45one season

00:38:45here

00:38:46because

00:38:47major

00:38:48questions

00:38:49now

00:38:49about who

00:38:50Mother

00:38:50will get

00:38:51as the

00:38:51manager

00:38:52but what

00:38:52you're

00:38:53looking

00:38:53for is

00:38:54the

00:38:55Celtic

00:38:55Rangers

00:38:55won't be

00:38:56as bad

00:38:56I think

00:38:56their turnover

00:38:57alone

00:38:58suggests

00:38:59that they

00:38:59will

00:38:59absolutely

00:39:00pull all

00:39:01guns

00:39:02out

00:39:02to make

00:39:03sure

00:39:03Harts

00:39:04don't

00:39:04get

00:39:04that

00:39:04similar

00:39:05situation

00:39:06but the

00:39:07other

00:39:07thing

00:39:07about it

00:39:07is you

00:39:08need

00:39:08other teams

00:39:08to step

00:39:09up

00:39:09you need

00:39:09Aberdeen

00:39:10to step

00:39:10up

00:39:10you need

00:39:11Steven Robinson

00:39:12to sign

00:39:12the right

00:39:12players

00:39:13Hibbs

00:39:13to step

00:39:15up

00:39:15will

00:39:16Mother

00:39:16be as

00:39:17good

00:39:17again

00:39:18and then

00:39:18you're

00:39:19looking

00:39:19and saying

00:39:19what's

00:39:19going to

00:39:20come from

00:39:20the

00:39:20Dundee

00:39:21sides

00:39:21you need

00:39:23three or

00:39:23four teams

00:39:24that are

00:39:24capable of

00:39:25laying a

00:39:26glove on

00:39:27Celtic

00:39:27and Rangers

00:39:28I'm not

00:39:28so sure

00:39:30they're going

00:39:30to get it

00:39:31all their

00:39:31own way

00:39:31but we're

00:39:33hoping they

00:39:33are

00:39:33we're hoping

00:39:34that somebody

00:39:35steps up

00:39:36because it

00:39:37was a joy

00:39:38of the old

00:39:38firm getting

00:39:39split

00:39:39it was a joy

00:39:41of another

00:39:41team

00:39:42maybe winning

00:39:43the league

00:39:43it was different

00:39:44from many

00:39:45other years

00:39:45that we've

00:39:45had before

00:39:46so it made

00:39:46the league

00:39:47really really

00:39:48exciting

00:39:49so I can't

00:39:51see any

00:39:52other team

00:39:53apart from

00:39:53Hearts being

00:39:54in the position

00:39:55to challenge

00:39:56the two of them

00:39:56next year

00:39:57I don't think

00:39:57they've got

00:39:58enough money

00:39:59the other

00:39:59clubs

00:39:59you know

00:40:00Aberdeen

00:40:01Hibbs

00:40:02I can't see

00:40:03the Dundee

00:40:03team spending

00:40:04money

00:40:04so I think

00:40:06it's going to

00:40:06be back to

00:40:07the norm

00:40:08What just

00:40:09the three

00:40:09three yeah

00:40:10nobody else

00:40:11no

00:40:11I can't

00:40:12see anybody

00:40:13Tam do you

00:40:13believe that

00:40:14do you

00:40:14buy that

00:40:15yeah

00:40:15I don't

00:40:17see it

00:40:17with Hibbs

00:40:19at the

00:40:20moment

00:40:21Aberdeen

00:40:23players to

00:40:24come in

00:40:24and out

00:40:27Hearts

00:40:27again

00:40:29this is

00:46:41I was at

00:46:42a wedding

00:46:42in Portland

00:46:43and then we

00:46:44decided to

00:46:44go down

00:46:46San Francisco

00:46:48Los Angeles

00:46:49and then Las Vegas

00:50:01fee

00:50:06of Pep

00:50:06saying

00:50:06farewell

00:50:0910 years

00:50:10has been

00:50:10fantastic

00:50:12unfortunately

00:50:13your wee

00:50:14man

00:50:15Mourinho

00:50:15has

00:50:16probably

00:50:16nicked

00:50:17where he

00:50:17would have

00:50:17maybe wanted

00:50:18to go

00:50:19not a chance

00:50:19in hell

00:50:20Pep Guardiola

00:50:21to Real

00:50:21Madrid

00:50:21no chance

00:50:22where else

00:50:23can he go

00:50:24there's no

00:50:24way he's

00:50:25going to go

00:50:25to international

00:50:25football now

00:50:26but there's

00:50:26more to

00:50:27I think he'll

00:50:28maybe go to

00:50:28Spain or

00:50:29Portugal

00:50:29there's no

00:50:30way he'd

00:50:30go to

00:50:30Real

00:50:31Madrid

00:50:31in a

00:50:31million

00:50:31years

00:50:32by the

00:50:32way

00:50:32he's a

00:50:33Barcelona

00:50:33legend

00:50:33are you

00:50:34kidding me

00:50:34I thought

00:50:35the send

00:50:36off for

00:50:37Mo Salah

00:50:37and Andy

00:50:39Robertson

00:50:39was fantastic

00:50:40really emotional

00:50:41and I must

00:50:42admit I'm

00:50:42seriously

00:50:43thinking whether

00:50:44they might

00:50:44get rid

00:50:44of this

00:50:44lot

00:50:45I don't

00:50:46think the

00:50:46feedback

00:50:46from them

00:50:47has been

00:50:47great

00:50:47I think

00:50:48they've been

00:50:48poor this

00:50:48season

00:50:49there's mitigating

00:50:50circumstances

00:50:50the death of

00:50:51Jot has affected

00:50:52the whole club

00:50:52I think

00:50:53you've got to

00:50:54give people

00:50:54that was

00:50:56an absolute

00:50:57seconder for

00:50:58the supporters

00:50:58for the players

00:50:59the manager

00:50:59the whole club

00:51:00seems to have

00:51:01been a bit

00:51:01of a downer

00:51:02from that

00:51:02which is

00:51:03understandable

00:51:03so I think

00:51:04he'll get the

00:51:05start of next

00:51:05season

00:51:05and if he

00:51:06doesn't

00:51:07pick up

00:51:08he'll start

00:51:08picking up

00:51:09points

00:51:09because he'll

00:51:09finish the

00:51:10season very

00:51:10poorly

00:51:10and if he

00:51:11starts poorly

00:51:12next season

00:51:12I think he'll

00:51:12get Jotter'd

00:55:58Alec Ferguson said he used to rip Aberdeen every time

00:56:02oh yeah

00:56:03Gordon Schraken tells a great story about it

00:56:05oh Paul Beard says one the Derry Pelly

00:56:08do you remember him

00:56:09god he couldn't last 90 minutes in a game but what a player he was

00:56:12Paddy McCourt

00:56:12yeah brilliant player

00:56:14a legend over at Derry City

00:56:16and I went over and played over there as well

00:56:17and yeah

00:56:19I kind of throw back to

00:56:20wasn't he fit

00:56:21wasn't he quick

00:56:22couldn't he run

00:56:23but

00:56:24actually one of the rare players you'd see was quicker with the ball

00:56:27without the ball

00:56:27could I throw one in there Ruffy that I think you know might just get a wee shout

00:56:32at

00:56:32Diggie Arnott

00:56:34yeah I think the Motherwell supporters yeah

00:56:36there's

00:56:37Tom Cowns always raving about him

00:56:39yeah

00:56:39he was a good player

00:56:40Willie McVie

00:56:41no don't be so stupid

00:56:44Willie

00:56:45Willie was

00:56:45that guy gets in die

00:56:46oh he was the Terminator

00:56:47honestly the first tackle started at your thigh

00:56:50then he just worked his way up

00:56:53good one Ruffy

00:56:54not like you just to start it off for a noise up

00:56:57okay

00:56:58couple of things I want to mention before we go today

00:57:00by the way we're continuing right through the summer

00:57:02I do hope you'll join us

00:57:03Journal's Top 50

00:57:04get on the website

00:57:05and you could

00:57:06if we pick you out at the end of next month

00:57:09you could be looking at a fabulous painting on your wall

00:57:14Harry Kane

00:57:15is worthy of a mention Ruffy

00:57:17because he scores a hat trick in the German Cup final

00:57:19and by the way

00:57:20two of the goals were just

00:57:21top drawer

00:57:22no it's just

00:57:25I mean if you don't watch the German football

00:57:29and you just want to check the scores

00:57:30and you see that they're playing

00:57:32and they've won 2-0 or 1-0

00:57:34you know as soon as you click onto it

00:57:36he's scored

00:57:36by the way

00:57:3761 goals in 51 games

00:57:40I mean that's bonkers isn't it

00:57:41it's astonishing

00:57:42he's broken so many records over there

00:57:44it's incredible

00:57:45yeah

00:57:45he's some player

00:57:46if he stays fit

00:57:47I'm tipping England to win the World Cup

00:57:50I mean you look at some of the wide players

00:57:51that England have got as well

00:57:52they've got some quality

00:57:53you know guys like Saka

00:57:54and Eze

00:57:55and stuff like that

00:57:56players that can go and play

00:57:57Gordon at Newcastle

00:57:58if you get him the service

00:58:00there's going to be a threat in the World Cup

00:58:01without a doubt

00:58:02yeah

00:58:02absolutely

00:58:04okay

00:58:05I thought it was absolutely magnificent

00:58:07the goals were a joy to watch

00:58:11because we don't want to talk about it at the start

00:58:13because it dates the programme quickly Ruffy

00:58:16Partick Thistle St Mirna

00:58:17have you blown your chance?

00:58:19no I don't think they have

00:58:20I think in the first leg

00:58:21they had equal possession of the ball

00:58:24equal chances

00:58:25I know it's away from home

00:58:27I really don't hope it ends the way it ended at Ross County

00:58:31and I'm sure a lot of supporters going along

00:58:33will still remember that night

00:58:35you know

00:58:36they should have been there

00:58:37then obviously went to penalties

00:58:39but you don't want to see it ending in penalties

00:58:41whoever wins the game

00:58:42well Partick Thistle will win the game

00:58:44I hope they win it fair and square

00:58:45have St Mirna got the edge now because they're at home?

00:58:47at home I just think they're a big strong physical side

00:58:50you know

00:58:50and obviously

00:58:52Partick Thistle have played more games than them

00:58:54so they must be tired

00:58:55I think we

00:58:57the wee

00:58:58wee boy in midfield

00:58:59wee Ben was out there for the last game

00:59:01I hope he's fit

00:59:01Stanley

00:59:02I hope he's fit for this game

00:59:03because he's a big big player

00:59:05he scored in the last game

00:59:06in the cup

00:59:07so

00:59:07it's going to be a nervy night

00:59:09really

00:59:09and I hope

00:59:10I hope there's not a pitch invasion

00:59:13God almighty

00:59:14if there's a pitch invasion

00:59:16there'll be government inquiries

00:59:18Tam

00:59:18who are you going for?

00:59:19I'm going to go for St Mirna

00:59:20so am I

00:59:20I think if St Mirna's gone the last minute

00:59:22he'll stay up

00:59:23he might get a pitch invasion

00:59:25yeah

00:59:25absolutely

00:59:26St Mirna

00:59:27Partick Thistle will go up for the first time in what?

00:59:29how long?

00:59:29a long long time

00:59:30yeah

00:59:31that means he doesn't know

00:59:33thanks very much to so many people

00:59:34who've

00:59:55yeah fantastic

00:59:55Frank loved the show

00:59:57he was a great guy

00:59:58and then there's not many people

00:59:59get a chance to go to Liverpool

01:00:01no absolutely

01:00:02if he'd sat it out

01:00:03Frank

01:00:03I always say to me

01:00:04he just didn't have the patience

01:00:05to sit and wait his turn

01:00:06and also somebody said

01:00:08there John McMaster

01:00:09which is absolutely right

01:00:10John McMaster was in here

01:00:12with all the gear

01:00:13that he'd

01:00:13all the kit

01:00:19Hibbs 1979

01:00:20I'm not sure

01:00:21George might

01:00:23for it Ruffy

01:00:24to be honest with you

01:00:46122 was the answer
