00:00Wins last weekend for Hearts and Motherwell ended any relegation fears, so surely a free-flowing classic awaits.
00:09The focus at Tyne Castle has been away from the pitch rather than on it, with safety all but secure.
00:15Brighton owner Tony Bloom's investment and of course the search for a new manager are on the minds of those of a Hearts persuasion.
00:23Goalkeeper Ryan Fulton makes his Hearts debut because Craig Gordon has a shoulder injury and Xander Clark has also been struggling,
00:29though he is on the bench, Cammie Devlin for Blair Spittel is the other change from the win over Ross County.
00:34Motherwell also make two changes, Steve Seddon starts for the first time since December,
00:38while match winner against Dundee, Tawanda Maswanese also comes in.
00:50Motherwell's safe in the Premiership for another season, looking to the next campaign,
00:54but also wanting to end with a flourish as Lennon Miller has taken down there.
01:02Just got his body in front of Benny Beningame.
01:10Slattery lines one up!
01:13Well,
01:15you won't strike
01:16the much sweeter than that.
01:17really fierce hit,
01:21just too high.
01:23Tynecastle gets to its feet
01:25to applaud
01:26the young supporter,
01:28Charlie Kelly,
01:29who sadly
01:29lost his life recently.
01:35Fulton sends it long.
01:37Oh, no,
01:37Donald's misjudged that.
01:39And here's Lauren Shanklins.
01:41It's Shanklins!
01:41A goal from the captain
01:47at a poignant moment at Tynecastle.
01:56Just as fans were paying tribute to young Charlie Kelly,
02:00Shanklin goes up the pitch
02:01and produces a lovely finish
02:05beyond Oxford up.
02:11Penrice goes after this
02:16and he catches
02:18Slattery.
02:21And he apologises.
02:24I think he knows James Penrice.
02:26He was just
02:27a tad late here.
02:35Liam Fox
02:36still in the heart's dugout
02:38for how long
02:39is the question?
02:41Halliday
02:45sends this one in.
02:49Back in from Motherwell.
02:51Halkett
02:51only half clears
02:52and there's Slattery!
02:55Well, that's a lovely goal.
02:58Classy stuff
02:59from Callum Slattery
03:00to bring Motherwell level.
03:03And that will
03:03bam the sunburn
03:05in the away end.
03:09Perfect response
03:10for Michael Wimmer
03:12in his side.
03:14Hearts just can't get this clear.
03:16Halkett's under pressure
03:16and it's not an easy finish.
03:20Slattery
03:20uses the turf
03:22really shrewdly
03:23and it skips away
03:25from Fulton.
03:27Well then,
03:29referee Ryan Lee
03:30has been called over
03:31on his Premiership debut
03:32to have another look
03:34to have another look at this.
03:38And that's Dan Casey
03:39who's jumping there
03:41in an offside position.
03:46Is he interfering
03:47with the goalkeeper's
03:47line of sight?
03:48That's the call
03:50that the referee
03:50has to make.
03:54That's why
03:54he's been brought over
03:55and his decision is
03:58that Dan Casey
03:58is interfering.
03:59No goal.
04:01And it is
04:02as you were
04:03at Tyne Castle.
04:11Hearts looking
04:11to make it 2-0
04:12deep into stoppage time
04:13at the end of this first half.
04:15Shankland,
04:15good touch.
04:20Forrester
04:20to the other
04:23fullback Penrice
04:24who bends one in
04:25and Forrest
04:27was sliding in
04:28at the back post
04:29but couldn't connect.
04:33Penrice
04:33with another
04:34brilliant ball.
04:40Slattery
04:41here
04:43is Tony Watt
04:44comes back to Watt
04:47works the space well
04:48never enough power
04:51behind the shot
04:51though
04:52to trouble Fulton.
04:57Motherwell
04:57need to
04:58try and pick
04:58themselves up
04:59after their
04:59equaliser
05:00was ruled out.
05:03Neat enough play.
05:07That's given away
05:08and now
05:09Hearts roam
05:10forward through Penrice
05:12looks up
05:12delivers
05:14towards Vargas
05:15who himself
05:16ends up
05:16in the back
05:17of the net.
05:18Dom Thompson
05:21just does enough.
05:27Thompson
05:28Lennon-Miller
05:30Sparrow
05:31spilled by
05:32Fulton
05:33and there's confusion
05:34in the Hearts defence
05:35and eventually
05:36the goalkeeper
05:36picks it up.
05:41Brief bit of panic
05:42in the Hearts box.
05:44Good build up
05:45from Motherwell.
05:45Fulton
05:46Fulton should hold
05:47that
05:47and Hearts
05:48should clear
05:48it.
05:51Forrester
05:52Grant
05:54Penrice in space
05:57picks out
05:57Shanklin
05:582-0.
06:02Back to back
06:03braces
06:04for Lauren
06:05Shanklin.
06:05and with his
06:11contract up
06:12at the end
06:12of the season
06:13he is laying
06:15down a bit
06:15of a marker
06:16with a late
06:17season surge.
06:20Five goals
06:20in his last
06:21three games
06:22now
06:22and this is
06:23a clever
06:24little header.

07:48really
07:49good
07:50left foot
07:51saw it
07:51here in
07:51the
07:52Scottish
07:52Cup
07:52quarter
07:52final
07:53against
07:53Dundee
07:53where he
07:54got two
07:54this one
07:55was heading
07:55in
07:55there's
07:59good players
07:59in that
07:59changing room
08:00I've just
08:00tried to
08:00simplify it
08:01make it
08:02nice and
08:03clean and
08:03easy for
08:03them
08:04in
08:04possession
08:04and out
08:04of
08:04possession
08:05and the
08:07players have
08:07been fantastic
08:07so all the
08:08credit has to
08:09go to them
08:09we scored another
08:10three goals
08:11today which is
08:12great
08:12and now we look
08:14forward to what
08:15comes ahead
08:15in the next couple
08:15days
08:16this was a bad
08:17result of course
08:18yeah
08:19there was better
08:20in the box
08:21where the goals
08:23were too easy
08:24and to say it
08:25briefly there was
08:27four shoots for
08:28for Hearts
08:28they scored three
08:29times and we
08:30didn't score
08:31and so it's
08:32a disappointing
08:33result
08:34Liam Fox
08:36wins again
08:36as Hearts
08:37cruised to
08:37victory at
08:38Tyne Castle
08:39and Mikey
08:40Lawrence Shanklin
08:41back to his
08:41old self
08:42back playing
08:43centre forward
08:44Tom
08:44helps
08:45yeah it
08:46certainly helps
08:46and the
08:47flea flowing
08:48football certainly
08:48helps as well
08:49you love it
08:52don't you
08:52when you get
08:54the ball into
08:54dangerous areas
08:55then Lawrence
08:56Shanklin's going
08:56to score goals
08:57there's no
08:58question of that
08:59he's been wasted
09:00for too much of
09:02the season
09:02playing in an
09:03area of the
09:03park that
09:03he's ineffective
09:05you've got other
09:06players that can
09:06play deep
09:07you've not got
09:07any other players
09:08that can do
09:08that
09:09and that is
09:10the difference
09:10maker
09:11wasn't the best
09:11defending you'll
09:12ever see
09:12it wasn't
09:13I mean look
09:13Stephen O'Donnell
09:14he's got to deal
09:15with it
09:15he lets it bounce
09:16he's got himself
09:16on no man's land
09:17but look at this
09:18from Shanklin
09:18after his brace
09:20last week
09:20he's got no doubt
09:21in his mind
09:21what he's going to
09:22do
09:22and he finds
09:23the bottom
09:23of the net
09:25and this is a
09:26perfect example
09:27we're tracking him
09:27here I think
09:28two three weeks
09:29ago he would
09:30have remained
09:31in and around
09:31that area
09:3230 yards from
09:33goal
09:33and he wouldn't
09:33have scored that
09:34he gets himself
09:35into the box
09:36it's a brilliant
09:37ball
09:37but he's in the
09:38area
09:39and look
09:39he's jostling
09:40with defenders
09:40he's getting
09:41pulled
09:41he's got that
09:42strength
09:43you're right
09:43I mean the ball
09:44in from Penrice
09:45is brilliant
09:45it is
09:46but when you look
09:47at that as well
09:47though
09:47there are players
09:49that are higher
09:50and wider
09:50from Penrice
09:50which creates
09:51that space
09:52for him to
09:52throw that ball
09:53in as well
09:53listen to Liam
09:54Fox there
09:55I think
09:55I couldn't agree
09:56more with what
09:56he's saying there
09:57simplifying the game
09:58and making it
09:59easier for the
10:00players to just
10:00go out and execute
10:01it
10:03it's a great
10:04example of it
10:05if Derek McInnes
10:06does become
10:07the new
10:08Hearts manager
10:08surely keeping
10:09Lawrence Shankland
10:10behind as
10:11priorities
10:11well whoever's
10:13the next
10:13Hearts manager
10:14I would think
10:14would be looking
10:15to try to keep
10:16a guy that is
10:16capable of
10:17banging in 20
10:18plus goals a season
10:19of course
10:19they do not
10:20grow on trees
10:20these types of
10:21guys
10:21but I mean
10:23he's at a stage
10:24his career
10:24where obviously
10:25he's looking
10:25to maximise
10:27his earning
10:27potential
10:27which is
10:28completely
10:28understandable
10:29and my
10:31concern is
10:32for Hearts
10:32that the
10:33lack of
10:34stability
10:34at the
10:35club
10:35is
10:36ultimately
10:36going to
10:37be a
10:39negative
10:39influence
10:40on whether
10:40would Derek
10:41McInnes bring
10:41stability to the
10:42club
10:42do you feel
10:43I think he
10:44would
10:44but whether
10:45that is
10:45in the door
10:47early enough
10:47to be able
10:47to change
10:48a player's
10:49mind or not
10:50I don't know
10:50it's all
10:51pie in the sky
10:52at the moment
10:52and whether
10:53Derek McInnes
10:53would take
10:54the Hearts
10:54job again
10:55likewise
10:55it's pie in the
10:56sky
10:56there's a lot
10:57of things
10:57going around
10:57the club
10:59at Hearts
10:59at the moment
10:59that would
11:00need to be
11:00clarified
11:01for a manager
11:02like Derek
11:03McInnes to
11:03go and take
11:04the job
11:04it's not
11:04just a
11:05straightforward
11:05yes I want
11:06to go to
11:07Tyne Castle
11:08there are a lot
11:08of things
11:09Tony Bloom's
11:10involvement
11:10the board
11:11who's making
11:12decisions
11:12who brings
11:13players in
11:13there's a lot
11:14of ambiguity
11:15that surrounds
11:15Hearts
11:16and like
11:16Liam Fox
11:17has brought
11:18with the club
11:18on the park
11:19clarity
11:20and simplifying
11:21things
11:21Hearts as a
11:23board and a
11:23club need to
11:24do that off
11:24the park
11:24as well
11:25Callum Slattery
11:26scored a
11:28flea-flowing
11:28goal but it
11:29was disallowed
11:29do you think
11:30it was the
11:30right decision
11:31to disallow it
11:31I mean I've
11:33got a lot of
11:33sympathy with
11:34Callum Slattery
11:35and Motherwell
11:35here because if
11:36you look at the
11:36goalkeeper
11:37Fulton's reaction
11:38here you watch
11:39he doesn't
11:40flinch
11:40he has no
11:41complaint
11:42whatsoever
11:42and you know
11:43you look at
11:43incidents in the
11:44box when you
11:45think about
11:45players reactions
11:46and it gives
11:46you a sense
11:47of what's
11:48going on
11:48the goalkeeper
11:49doesn't complain
11:50once so he
11:51doesn't feel
11:51like there's
11:52been his views
11:53being impeded
11:54or that the
11:54players influence
11:55things
11:55he is kind of
11:58in front of
11:58him though
11:58is he not
11:58well you look
11:59at it here
12:00he's at the
12:01side to a
12:02yeah
12:02the goalkeeper
12:04gets a clean
12:04view of that
12:05I would
12:06personally
12:06I would like
12:07to see that
12:08standing
12:08I would want to
12:09see that goal
12:09standing
12:10but what's
12:11interesting here
12:11Tom
12:12last week
12:13Motherwell
12:14involved in an
12:15incident at
12:15Dens Park
12:16where there was
12:17an offside
12:18that becomes
12:19active due to
12:21whether they feel
12:21the player is
12:22involved or
12:23not
12:23last week
12:24VAR
12:25whereas last
12:27week VAR
12:27just made
12:28that decision
12:28they said
12:29the player
12:29was active
12:30this week
12:31the referee
12:31has been sent
12:32over to the
12:32screen to
12:33make that
12:33decision
12:34because it
12:34is subjective
12:35so I think
12:36somebody explain
12:37to me why
12:38there isn't a
12:39continuity and
12:40consistency over
12:41those two
12:41incidences
12:41I can't
12:42I don't know
12:43maybe we can
12:43get somebody
12:44in that can
12:44Hibs look
12:45favourites to
12:46finish third
12:46but had the
12:47toughest of
12:48jobs this
12:48afternoon
12:49as they
12:49travelled to
12:50Glasgow to
12:50face champion
12:51Celtic
12:51Celtic's first
12:55home game
12:55since reclaiming
12:56their crown
12:57as their
12:57visitors pay
12:58the champions
12:59due respect
12:59this afternoon
13:00before attempting
13:01to beat them
13:02in successive league
13:03games for the
13:04first time since
13:052007
13:06and of course
13:07go to the
13:07verge
13:08of securing
13:09that prized
13:10third spot
13:11Schmeichel's back
13:13in goal for the
13:14champions
13:14following a
13:15shoulder injury
13:15picked up when
13:16playing for
13:16Denmark in the
13:17Nations League
13:18Carter Vickers
13:19has given the
13:19weekend off
13:20trusty replaced
13:21him and
13:22Koons back
13:22the man whose
13:24goals beat Celtic
13:25in the last league
13:25meeting Josh
13:26Campbell replaces
13:27the veteran
13:27Hoylet in the
13:28Hibs starting
13:2911
13:29that from the
13:30one that started
13:31last week's win
13:31over Dundee
13:32United
13:32the problem for
13:37Hibs is that
13:37Danny Galbraith's
13:39winner in 2010
13:40has stood the
13:40test of time
13:41and it's been
13:43that long since
13:43they won here
13:44and that was a
13:45brilliant ball in
13:46which Maida was
13:47very close to
13:47getting on the
13:48end of
13:48whooped in by
13:52Engels
13:52Celtic coming
13:57from behind
13:58last week to
13:59salvage a
13:59draw
13:59and Ibrox
14:00they've started
14:01sprightly here
14:02and it's Ida
14:02who got on to
14:05it
14:05it was his goal
14:07that saw them
14:09take a point
14:10against Rangers
14:11last Sunday
14:11Hittate slipped
14:13him through
14:14straight at
14:15Smith though
14:16here's a beat
14:21up
14:21keeping
14:22Nicky
14:22Cadden out
14:23of the team
14:23since the
14:26latter sustained
14:27the injury in the
14:27Scottish Cup
14:28quarterfinal defeat
14:29here
14:29it's broken for
14:31Boyle
14:32brilliant save
14:34by Schmeichel
14:35however
14:36Martin Boyle
14:38will be scratching
14:38his head
14:39as to why
14:39he's not put
14:40Hibbs in front
14:41what a chance
14:43and you've got
14:45to take them
14:45here
14:46breaks the Chris
14:55Cadden
14:56good ball across
15:00just too high
15:01for Boyle
15:01it's going to
15:03break to him
15:03here though
15:04Hibbs in front
15:06and that could
15:11be a huge
15:12goal
15:12an 18th goal
15:17of the season
15:18from Martin
15:20Boyle
15:20and this could
15:23go a long way
15:24to ending that
15:25long wait for
15:26a win here
15:27and to securing
15:28that coveted
15:29third spot
15:30it's clearly
15:34fortuitous because
15:36Campbell's effort
15:37has bounced off
15:38trusty and
15:39Boyle takes
15:40full advantage
15:41once again you
15:44can see why
15:45they're so keen
15:46to hang on to
15:46him
15:47that's for
15:55Ida
15:56and Coon
15:58goes round the
15:58goalkeeper
15:59and that's
16:001-1
16:00now Celtic level
16:07as we edge
16:09towards half
16:10time
16:10how often
16:11have they
16:11scored goals
16:12at this stage
16:13of a half
16:13of football
16:14the VAR
16:16is Kevin
16:16Clancy
16:17he is checking
16:18it
16:18but it has
16:19been given
16:20and it is
16:211-1
16:22well Ida
16:28chased it
16:29and he did
16:31enough here
16:31to put off
16:32Busceery
16:32and Coon
16:34it's a simple
16:35task in the
16:36end
16:36scored twice
16:38at Tanadice
16:39when Celtic
16:40clinched the
16:41league a
16:41fortnight ago

16:44goal scoring
16:44form
16:44that's for
16:45sure
16:45Rolston
16:49initially
16:50clipping it
16:51through
16:51Coon
16:53did the
16:53rest
16:54Kukarevic
17:00does well
17:00there
17:01he missed
17:01a couple
17:01of big
17:02chances
17:02here earlier
17:02in the
17:03season
17:03here's
17:04Boyle
17:04oh he
17:05slips
17:05at the
17:06crucial
17:06moment
17:06and it
17:08was a
17:08crucial
17:09moment
17:09because
17:09his next
17:10thought
17:11was to
17:11score
17:12massive
17:15chance
17:16Boyle's
17:18at a
17:18hat-trick
17:19off them
17:19as we
17:22knock on
17:22the break

17:23Adam
17:24Ida
17:24and from
17:29behind
17:29Celtic
17:30lead
17:30and that's
17:32what they
17:32do to
17:33you
17:33a sliding
17:37doors
17:37moment in
17:38this game

17:53on the
17:5320 goal
17:54mark
17:54himself
17:55and he
17:57would be
17:57the third
17:57Celtic
17:58player
17:58this season
17:59to breach
17:59that
17:59good finish
18:01well

21:57and
21:57today
21:58was
21:58outstanding
21:59performance
22:00and I
22:00think
22:00the
22:00players
22:00afterwards
22:01because
22:01the
22:02work
22:02they put
22:02into
22:03the
22:03game
22:03the
22:03pressing
22:04the
22:04running
22:04from the
22:05first
22:05minute
22:05to
22:05the
22:06end
22:06the
22:06penetration
22:07it's
22:08so
22:08easy
22:09not to
22:09do
22:10it
22:10that
22:10the
22:10players
22:11did
22:11it
22:11and
22:11they
22:12deserve
22:12huge
22:13credit
22:13Five
22:14minutes
22:14before
22:14half
22:14time
22:14you're
22:15winning
22:151-0
22:15to
22:15come
22:16in
22:162-1
22:16down
22:16was
22:16obviously
22:17a big
22:18blow
22:18mentally
22:19for the
22:19players
22:19as well
22:20for
22:20everything
22:20they put
22:20into
22:20the
22:21game
22:21but
22:22the
22:22goals
22:22we
22:22actually
22:22lose
22:22we'll
22:23have
22:23to
22:23look
22:23at
22:23them
22:23because
22:23we're
22:24quite soft
22:24from
22:24our
22:25point
22:25of
22:25view
22:25people
22:25say
22:25it's
22:26good
22:26play
22:26from
22:26Celtic
22:26but
22:26we're
22:27definitely
22:27avoidable
22:28from
22:28our
22:28point
22:28of
22:28view
22:28so
22:29that's
22:29a
22:29frustration
22:29the
22:30reaction
22:30for the
22:30players
22:31second
22:31half
22:31was
22:31positive
22:32I
22:32thought
22:32a few
22:33chances
22:33right
22:33after
22:33half
22:34time
22:34but
22:34in
22:34the
22:35third
22:35goal
22:35took
22:35the
22:35stuff
22:35out
22:36of
22:36the
22:36game
22:36at
22:36that
22:36point
22:36and
22:38then
22:38from
22:38there
22:38we
22:38made
22:39the
22:39changes
22:39to
22:39try
22:39and
22:39push
22:40back
22:40and
22:40try
22:40and
22:40get
22:40into
22:40the
22:40game
22:41and
22:41we did
22:41carry
22:41a bit
22:42of
22:42a threat
22:42today
22:42but
22:43not
22:43really
22:43enough
22:44to
22:44get
22:44back
22:45into
22:45the
22:45game
22:45for going
22:463-1
22:46down
22:46I
22:46thought
22:46that was
22:47the game
22:47pretty much
22:47another good
22:49game
22:50seems to be
22:50a wee theme
22:51tonight
22:52Celtic
22:52too
22:52strong
22:53for
22:53a
22:53battling
22:53Hibs
22:54team
22:55either
22:55scored
22:56one
22:56probably
22:56should
22:56have
22:57scored
22:57more
22:57he's
22:58now
22:5819
22:58for
22:58the
22:59season
22:59pretty
22:59good
23:00going
23:00considering
23:00he's
23:00not
23:00started
23:01as
23:01many

23:01it's
23:03one
23:03of
23:03those
23:03ones
23:04where
23:04if
23:04you
23:04look
23:04at
23:04the
23:04stats
23:05they
23:05paint

23:06pretty
23:07good

23:07but
23:07there
23:08is
23:08more
23:08to
23:08it
23:08and
23:09I
23:09think
23:09incidents
23:10like
23:11this
23:11are
23:11where
23:12he
23:12probably
23:12lets
23:13himself
23:13down
23:13a
23:13little
23:21little
23:22bit
23:22of
23:22composure
23:22taking
23:23it
23:23too
23:23early
23:25again
23:26you
23:27look
23:27at
23:27this
23:27gets
23:27himself
23:28in
23:28a
23:28really
23:28good
23:28position
23:29and
23:30causing
23:31problems
23:31for the
23:31defence
23:32ultimately
23:32leads to
23:33Coon
23:33being able
23:33to score
23:34the first
23:35goal
23:35but
23:35a lot
23:36of that
23:36is down
23:37to the
23:37movement
23:37and the
23:38physicality
23:39of
23:39Ida
23:39so I
23:41don't
23:41think
23:41there's
23:41any
23:41doubt
23:41that
23:42getting
23:43to
23:4319
23:43goals
23:44for
23:44Celtic
23:44this
23:44season
23:45is
23:45good
23:45but
23:46if
23:47you're
23:47going
23:47to
23:47be
23:47the
23:47main
23:47number
23:48nine
23:48and
23:48this
23:48is
23:48a
23:49nice
23:49finish
23:49then
23:50along
23:51the
23:51same
23:51lines
23:51as
23:52the
23:52criticism
23:53that
23:53flows
23:53towards
23:54Dessers
23:54he needs
23:55to have
23:55a bigger
23:55conversion
23:56Do you see him
23:56leading the line
23:57again next season
23:57or do you think
23:58Celtic will spend
23:59some serious cash
24:00on a new striker
24:00this summer?
24:01First of all
24:02I've just got to say
24:03from this moment on
24:04the one touch
24:05football is
24:06brilliant
24:06he can't defend
24:07that and it's a
24:08great finish
24:08from
24:08Hitate
24:09to answer the
24:10question
24:11I think it's
24:12quite clear that
24:13Celtic will go
24:14out and spend
24:14big on a
24:16centre forward
24:17and look
24:17to replace
24:19Kyogre
24:19that's obviously
24:20left
24:20and you look
24:21at the
24:22conversion rate
24:23there
24:23just highlighting
24:24the point
24:25I was trying
24:25to make
24:25there
24:26that
24:26Ida is
24:27the lowest
24:27numbers
24:28in regards
24:28to the
24:29front three
24:29that we're
24:29playing there
24:30today
24:30does that
24:33then limit
24:34Adam Ida's
24:35opportunities
24:35next season?
24:37Possibly
24:37but a big
24:38club like Celtic
24:39as we've seen
24:39already this
24:40campaign
24:40he's still
24:41going to get
24:41plenty games
24:42he just needs
24:43to be more
24:44mindful of getting
24:45that conversion
24:46rate higher
24:46Does he start
24:46the cup
24:47final?
24:47I think
24:49he'll start
24:50with Adam
24:51Ida
24:51and I think
24:51that's probably
24:52one of the
24:52reasons why
24:53he's got that
24:54front three
24:54playing at the
24:55moment
24:55I think
24:55obviously
24:55there's
24:56elsewhere
24:56in the
24:56team
24:57he's
24:57looking
24:57to
24:57rest
24:57some
24:57players
24:58but
24:58with
24:59Kuhn
25:00and
25:01Maida
25:01on the
25:01wings
25:02and
25:02Ida
25:04through the
25:05middle
25:05I think
25:07that's the
25:07three
25:08they'll
25:08go with
25:08rather than
25:09any other
25:10options
25:10with
25:11Jota
25:11being out
25:11Hibs
25:12created
25:12quite a few
25:13chances
25:13today
25:14they played
25:14OK
25:14obviously
25:16they wanted
25:16to win the
25:17game
25:17no points
25:17from the
25:17game
25:18Aberdeen
25:18play tomorrow
25:19do you still
25:19fancy Hibs
25:20they're still
25:20in a strong
25:20position to
25:21finish third?
25:22Yeah they are
25:23in a strong
25:23position
25:23they're in pole
25:24position to
25:25finish third
25:25at the moment
25:25massive game
25:26tomorrow
25:27obviously for
25:27Aberdeen to try
25:28to get level
25:29but
25:30the difference
25:32with the goals
25:32I think could
25:33prove vital
25:34as we enter
25:35the last two
25:35games after
25:36this game
25:37tomorrow
25:37between
25:38Aberdeen
25:38and Rangers
25:39And that's
25:39Celtic now
25:40in 106 goals
25:41that was one
25:41of the targets
25:42that Brendan
25:42Rogers was
25:43speaking about
25:43surely they'll
25:44break that
25:44in the next
25:45two games
25:45Well yeah
25:46I would imagine
25:46so
25:47and just the
25:47only real
25:48sort of wonder
25:49is whether
25:49James Forrest
25:50gets one of
25:50those goals
25:51He's desperate
25:52for one isn't
25:52he?
25:53I'm desperate
25:53for him
25:53OK
25:54Right OK
