0:00

Scottish football's lead leader.

0:03

This is Clyde One's Super

0:05

Scoreboard. Celtic

0:08

1-0 up against Dundee at half-time at Denz

0:10

Park. I think we can go back to

0:12

Fraser Wisher. Was any sign of any changes

0:14

going into the second half, Fraser? No,

0:17

there's not at all. All the substitutes from both

0:20

sides are out warming up at the moments unless

0:22

it's a last-minute substitution. I wouldn't imagine that there

0:24

would be, I think, Ben and Rodgers would be

0:26

pretty happy with his Celtic team's performance. They just

0:28

kind of have a bit of a lull in

0:30

the middle of the half and allowed Dundee to

0:33

be a bit more threatening. But I think Tony

0:35

Docker, to be equally as happy, this team have

0:37

done really well. They've defended well after that

0:39

initial opening period when Celtic's movement and tempo

0:41

of the game and their passing this Christmas

0:43

are moving, they're pulling defenders all over the

0:45

place. The Greg Taylor and James Forrest on

0:47

the left-hand side really enjoying the space that

0:49

they could get. So after that, they weathered

0:51

the storm a bit, Dundee, and then came

0:53

back into the game. And it's a lot

0:55

that's down to just certain tempo and their

0:57

passing just been a wee bit too slow

1:00

and giving the ball away to me, slight

1:02

mistakes because until the goal they just

1:04

lost that wee bit of edge to their game. But the

1:06

goal was because they moved the ball very, very quickly. And

1:08

it looked like to me that Keo'lo just got a wee

1:10

bit of a look at bounced off him. But it was

1:12

the Christmas of the passing around the edge of the box

1:14

into his feet and a brilliant finish. I mean, a sweet

1:16

strike by James Forrest has been the game's outstanding player. So

1:18

good 45 so far. I don't

1:20

see any changes at the break, but I think

1:22

if the game does change, then you might see

1:24

one or two in Celtic particular looking for that

1:27

second goal just to give them a wee bit

1:29

more comfort because at 1-0 Dundee, you still get

1:31

a chance. Yeah, Fraser mentioned

1:33

just those periods where Dundee were having to

1:35

weather the storm, being able to do that

1:37

and only conceding one does still give them

1:39

a bit of belief going into the second

1:41

45, despite the fact that Celtic have dominated

1:43

the ball. Yeah, they certainly get players given

1:46

the opportunity can put the ball in the

1:48

back, you know. They've

1:50

kept their cell in the game. I

1:53

don't think they'll be happy getting in 1-0, but they're

1:56

still in this game. The next goal is so,

1:58

so important. I think they'll give it a and our

2:00

five, ten minutes, see how it plans out and

2:02

then they'll tweet one or two things, trying to

2:04

cause Celtic a few problems. But

2:06

if Celtic can be defensively strong, I think they've

2:08

got enough middle-left front to go and punish them

2:10

again. Yeah, they'll be keen to try and get

2:13

that ball out to the left side for James

2:15

Forrest as he's been the one causing real issues

2:17

for Dundee. Fraser used the

2:19

only opposite word, comfort. Celtic need

2:21

the comfort of a second goal.

2:23

If it arrives, then they

2:25

are assured winners. However,

2:28

1-0 is a fragile

2:31

lead and Dundee have had

2:33

the attempt to go mainly through

2:35

Luke McKibbin, who seems

2:37

to be on a one-man mission to score

2:40

and the defensive frailty is there for Celtic.

2:42

Still getting caught by the ball at the

2:44

back post time and again. But

2:48

a second goal for Celtic and

2:51

they have the players there who can

2:53

do it, in particular Forrest, who's clearly

2:55

revelling in this re-emergence

2:58

that he's having here as someone

3:00

who has the experience and the

3:02

ability to carry Celtic over the

3:04

line. If they can get a second goal, then

3:07

it's a good afternoon's work. They retain

3:09

their three-point lead at the top. But

3:11

they are still looking for the

3:14

comfort. Yeah, the teams are back out. Fraser can

3:16

give us a recap of the starting 11s, assuming

3:18

there's no changes. It's

4:00

since 1996. Back

4:03

underway, how are we looking? On the prediction

4:05

front, you're all still... Still in it? Yeah,

4:07

still there. Yeah, you still find you have

4:09

2-2 here. I'm in

4:11

the game. I'm in the game. You're in the

4:13

game. What was yours score? Could

4:17

be on for a double, potentially. I don't know.

4:20

Yeah. Imagine you didn't imagine

4:22

the money you would have won. If you gambler

4:24

was going to play and put your mortgage on it... See, be honest

4:26

with you, I've never got a mortgage made. Oh, I get

4:29

a big thing! I get a big thing! Coca-Cola!

4:31

What a money! It's still in the

4:33

good news. I've waited 15 years for

4:36

that one. No

4:40

gah-hoos. You

4:44

see, for sale, taking a second, half-hundred, they

4:47

need to join the half-stop. We've been seeing

4:49

it all season. The supporters have been seeing

4:51

it all season as well. One half's been good. I'm

4:55

all over the top. Scott Tiffany puts it back

4:57

into a dangerous area, but Baki Oko just wasn't

4:59

attacking it. Any time the ball

5:01

goes near the Celtic box, you'd make

5:03

an involuntary lease. He was just keeping

5:06

it in production, right? I

5:08

keep calling him the flaky four because that's what

5:10

they are. I thought Joe Hart... I'm

5:13

pretty solid. Have a little bit of a film. Far from Baki

5:15

Oko still has to give you that, Hugh. Close to the back

5:17

post. Maybe getting a bit easy in that one. There

5:20

we go. I'd like to see that again, because

5:22

I think Joe Hart maybe should come out and

5:25

come under. I'm not too sure, but

5:28

first sight I thought to myself, oh, where's the

5:30

goalkeeper? He's got pace, Tiffany, hasn't he? That's a

5:32

threat. He's a what? He's

5:34

a great lad to have in your team, you know, that

5:36

he's going to put a shift in. I don't plan my

5:38

team one time. Did you, mate? How I reserves.

5:43

How I reserves, the young caddy was there,

5:45

and the better. And then he moved through

5:47

there. That's all my rhymes, isn't it? What

5:53

have we got? Well,

5:55

Dundee clearly started on the front foot.

5:57

Veeno. The

6:01

vulnerability that can occur at the back for

6:03

Celtic and they're trying to capitalise them back

6:05

straight away. Yeah,

6:07

they do look as if they started with a

6:10

bit more belief. Dundee maybe just that first ball

6:12

forward that set Scott Tiffany, three

6:14

has allowed them to believe that they maybe can

6:17

get something to that go out for a goal kick. Was it in

6:19

the end? No, sure. No, it's gone on

6:21

the end. I think you sometimes

6:23

need to do that. Sometimes you just need

6:25

to go direct in terminal position. Dundee started

6:27

the second half in that fashion and it's

6:30

resulting their corner kick here. Yeah,

6:33

the ball into the box. Rolled Joe Hart all

6:36

over the place. Hipped away by Joe Hart, it's

6:38

eventually clear. But Jadir is with him

6:40

there. What about the

6:42

pace in that ball? Well, the driven ball but

6:44

with so much pace, I actually think it catches

6:46

Joe Hart out. He takes a step forward and

6:48

then thinks, oh, I'm maybe not getting there, but

6:51

he got some contact on it, which

6:53

was enough. He's maybe fortunate that there was a

6:55

Celtic player just behind him to clear up. Yeah,

6:59

Tony Daugherty, I'm sure, will be happy with what

7:01

he's seen in the opening few minutes of the

7:03

second half. Yeah, it's a good reaction from Dundee. Starting

7:06

to push men forward as well. So yeah,

7:10

he's probably had a chat with these players in

7:12

half time. He said, look, we're one down, but

7:14

we're still in this game. Next goal

7:16

is important. They're starting to get on the front

7:18

foot and cause Celtic. I can't live problems. This

7:21

is where they just need to get the delivery

7:23

right, isn't it? They've now got a deep free

7:25

kick, Liam Scales, just pulling back a yoko to

7:27

the ground. That's where they're back a

7:30

yoko because they put Scales under so much

7:32

pressure, then Scales is the wrong side and

7:34

he's managed to win him a free kick,

7:36

probably about 40 yards out, just

7:40

on the angle. So it's enough angle to

7:43

put this towards Joe Hart's back post from Dodgson. Yeah,

7:48

we'll go. Whoa, there's a chance. Okay,

7:51

delivery as well. And there was actually a Dundee

7:53

player got a boot on it, wasn't it, Portales,

7:55

in the end managed to direct it towards Joe

7:57

Hart's goal but just couldn't get the right contact.

8:00

Oh I think that's

8:02

a good chance. I've got to say

8:04

Celtic defence sleeping a little bit Riley

8:07

here into the box corner kick. But

8:10

I think that's a good chance for Dundee. Good

8:12

ball in. Hard to defend that ball but I

8:15

think you've got to do better back post. Well

8:19

here comes the first chance of the

8:21

second half for the comfort goal. Yeah

8:25

corner to Celtic Matt O'Reilly will take it and

8:29

see how the delivery is

8:31

from him. The arm goes up.

8:33

It does make a way to Liam's

8:36

scales in the end but he just wasn't really expecting

8:38

it bounced in front of him and out for a

8:40

goal kick. It's a pure corner from Matt. Yeah,

8:43

too shallow. He needs to get more loft

8:45

than that. We'll just see this opportunity again

8:47

dodging. Just flicks it

8:49

and always curling towards Joe Hart's

8:51

back post. They've certainly got bodies

8:53

over. It's a tough one for

8:55

Kylie. I tell you what, a

8:57

CV doesn't make contact. Who's at

8:59

the back? He's got a

9:01

good chance to put it in the back.

9:04

Good ball. It's a great ball. Oh terrific

9:06

ball. I've got to say terrific ball. And

9:08

again you point your fingers at the defence

9:10

there but I think that's incredibly difficult to

9:13

defend. Anybody who's putting that ball into that

9:15

area it's hard to

9:17

defend against no doubt. Dundee

9:20

have unsettled a bit

9:22

early doors. Good response

9:25

from them. Got

9:27

to say they're getting on the front foot, getting in

9:29

the faces of Celtic. So

9:32

a little bit of pressure from the

9:34

home side. Almost some late drama in

9:36

the north London derby. Taught them to

9:38

get that late penalty. Made it three-two

9:40

but unable to get a third to

9:42

equalise. So a big win for Arsenal

9:44

in the title race down there. We

9:47

won't help them. I'll still be second.

9:49

Man's at two games

9:51

in hand now. Was

9:54

it four points behind with two games in hand?

9:56

It's amazing. Those players down there, you know, 200,

9:58

300. grand

10:00

elite yet still fall to

10:03

the pressure sometimes but Arsenal keep pace

10:05

with City. Another corner for Dundee they

10:07

have started very well in the second

10:09

half and Celtic

10:12

you better be careful. Yeah these are the

10:14

periods that Dundee know they need to capitalise

10:16

on because you're not going to have sustained

10:18

pressure against Celtic for the full

10:20

half or large periods when you've got a spell

10:22

like this where you're able to pin them back

10:24

in wind set pieces if you want to get

10:26

a result against Celtic you need to make the

10:28

most of these. Oh but delivery

10:31

again. Yeah he's got a good delivery on

10:33

his left foot. Yeah it's a good corner

10:35

delivery as well headed just wide. There's

10:37

a big chance for Silla but once again a

10:39

really good delivery with a left foot of own

10:41

doors. Beautiful delivery. He puts a ring in the

10:44

back of the six yard box here. Silla just

10:47

dazzling with Alistair Johnson. Hi is your

10:49

muscle Johnson? Yeah. Simple as that. He's

10:52

provided us coming. Does Johnson do enough

10:54

still to put him off despite the fact

10:56

that he's not won the

10:58

ball? I think so. Cosilla's always stretching for the ball.

11:00

He's a big lad. I think he would out muscle

11:02

most people and it's sometimes that's

11:05

what you need to give up. You need to

11:07

give up a bit of physicality but you need

11:09

to still be there and just put them off

11:11

stride. Johnson maybe does enough. Probably

11:14

Silla should do better. I've got to say

11:16

I think that's a difficult chance Mark. You

11:18

know I think Johnson does just enough to

11:20

put him off his stride a little bit

11:23

there but it's

11:25

a danger. Listen it's a warning for

11:27

Silla to. They need you

11:29

up the gears a little bit. Dundee have took the

11:31

niche off here. Starting to put on a

11:33

little bit of pressure. Yeah

11:36

Dundee's still the team the

11:39

more positive outlook at the moment at the start

11:41

of this second half. I think we've got another

11:43

corner as well. Yeah

11:45

that one more direct right

11:47

across to to

11:49

McGee. I don't understand. It's

11:51

in the Coonback. It's as

11:53

if they don't understand the demands

11:56

of the occasion here. It's

12:00

a bit second half all over the place. Don't

12:02

think they've had the ball much. I think you've

12:04

got credit indeed. They've been more direct, haven't they?

12:06

Here in their approach. So even that one there,

12:08

you know, it's a ball in a

12:10

good area. I'm not having that. I thought Taylor was

12:12

in there just as he tried to lock the run.

12:15

Think it was cool. Yeah, the ball

12:17

comes in again this time. The header is goal,

12:19

words cue goal. Hacks it clear. And

12:22

I think there was maybe a foul in there. Free

12:24

kick. But they're starting to

12:26

knock at the door. Starting to ask a

12:28

few questions. I've

12:30

seen a lot in this here. I

12:33

tell you what, Greg Taylor needs to

12:35

be careful there. I don't see where

12:37

a free kick is against Dundee there. Greg

12:39

Taylor's on the back of Silla there for

12:41

no reason. Both arms round him. He just

12:44

needs to be careful. Yeah,

12:47

I think Silla maybe had a fistful of the

12:49

top of Matt O'Reilly. Short was maybe what was

12:51

spotted by Jon Beaton. Yeah,

12:54

but it's been scrappy certainly from Celtic. I

12:56

mean, they can't get it to the other

12:58

half at the moment. And Dundee's certainly up

13:00

to tempo to start it very brightly. Yeah,

13:04

Jordan McGee surrounded by

13:07

green and white shuns and just puts the pass straight

13:09

out of play for a goal kick to Celtic. Celtic

13:11

almost spooked. Start at

13:13

the second half. They're disjointed. When

13:18

you look at that, it's the sort of action areas that

13:20

it shows in terms of where the game has been played.

13:22

Only 6% of

13:24

the action has come in Dundee's half.

13:27

It's all in the middle section or in

13:30

Celtic's half where Dundee are piling a

13:32

bit of pressure. They're running every second

13:34

half. That's where Dundee

13:36

are being more successful here. They're picking

13:39

up all the scrap balls. But

13:43

I say that if Celtic can play their

13:46

football, Dundee throwing more players

13:48

forward gives them a better opportunity to

13:50

get behind them because they're well

13:52

disciplined Dundee. The minute they lose the ball, they get into

13:54

a nice shape and make it hard. See,

13:56

Keogel for me has got to start holding the ball

13:58

up a bit. Mark,

14:01

you mentioned Celtic maybe not really

14:03

being able to put full performances

14:06

together. Was this a concern that

14:08

this was developing? It's certainly reflective

14:10

of that opinion, yeah, without doubt.

14:14

The fans would have seen this all

14:16

before, that it was comfortable. Starting

14:19

the first half so brightly, it's been

14:21

the opposite. And they've

14:23

really taken the game to them here. It's

14:26

another free kick. Stop

14:29

start as well, which is very favouring Dundee as well,

14:31

just been able to... Work

14:33

the set pieces towards the Celtic box and try

14:35

and cause a bit of chaos. And this is where the

14:38

back four and the midfield in front of them have to

14:40

stand solid. You don't get a game going all your own

14:42

way. So in these

14:44

moments, they have to stand solid and...

14:46

Real chance for Dundee here and it's

14:48

defended in the end by Celtic Liam

14:50

Scales getting the vital boot. And

14:53

I think the offside flag has gone up.

14:55

So it wouldn't have counted anyway from Scales.

14:57

Because again, same as Buckland earlier, he doesn't

14:59

know he's offside. He still

15:01

has to get... And... Very

15:04

tight anyway. Yeah. And

15:07

then that one's certainly not offside.

15:10

So I think it was the first one. Look,

15:13

the marginal enemy of the Celtic did manage to

15:15

clear the ball. Celtic can get out. No, Dundee

15:18

had just flown in. Again, Dundee had the ball

15:20

back and... It's only a

15:22

matter of time before the equaliser comes. You

15:25

think there's an equaliser coming here without doubt?

15:28

It's just whether Dundee's show they've got the quality to

15:31

put the ball on the back of the net. They've

15:33

had, I think, 10 minutes of pressure now and... Not

15:36

really forced a save out of Joel Hart, have they,

15:38

for all the ball they've had? And

15:40

that's the difference. I think in the early

15:42

game, you know, Smirnagh carried that threat, they

15:44

created chances at force Buckland in to saves

15:46

before they got their goal. So Dundee need

15:48

to show similar when they're on

15:50

top here. They've certainly got plenty of

15:53

data to try. Yeah, they're working on

15:55

building the renovate the Celtic box. Just

15:57

being forced to put the ball away. occasion

16:00

at the moment Celtic. I don't know what's

16:02

been said at halftime but Dundee have certainly

16:04

responded to it and Celtic went back the

16:06

way can't go that half they're

16:08

giving the ball away cheaply Dundee's picking up

16:10

every second ball putting a little bit of

16:12

pressure on just need to be

16:14

careful Celtic. And for all that James

16:17

Forrest was getting praise in the first half he along

16:19

with the other attackers who have not been seen once

16:21

in this half. Don't know even know he's touched the

16:24

ball. Another corner delivery by

16:26

Dodgson and should they have done better with

16:28

the header. My

16:30

riley gets caught way under the ball

16:32

there and Dundee should do

16:34

better with that one. Yeah

16:37

Celtic then trying to hit Dundee on the

16:39

counter from the corner but Nicholas Coons ball

16:42

goes to a Dundee shot but yeah he just spoons

16:44

so much space in the box from that corner didn't

16:46

he Jordan McGee and sort of

16:48

stooping down to try and head it just couldn't

16:50

quite get the the power he

16:52

needed. I think that's lazy defending from my

16:54

riley. I really do. I

16:57

think that's a great chance. That's a

17:00

great chance. They're asking questions of

17:02

Celtic. Yeah and a riley's got

17:04

to see that and adjust his position. It came

17:06

from a long way and there's

17:09

enough often the ball for him to adjust his feet but

17:12

he doesn't you know he's stationary with his

17:14

feet and then he tries to jump and he's

17:16

under it. That's a big chance for

17:19

Dundee. See as much as we talk about Celtic's

17:21

front feet I think the middle of the part

17:23

is non-existent in this half. I've not

17:25

seen Cal McGregor kick the ball. I

17:27

think he's been very quiet. Atati as well.

17:30

You know that can change in the heartbeat because

17:32

they've got so much ability but

17:35

I think the Celtic's middle of the part need

17:37

to start dominating the game. They're

17:39

non-existent. O'Reilly, Atati and McGregor

17:41

are contributing. Nothing just

17:44

now. Yeah

17:46

well Celtic winning a free kick

17:48

just inside they're on half their kill go trying to

17:50

break forward fouled by Luke McCowen. Welcome

17:53

respite I think that. I don't think there'll be

17:55

any hurry Celtic. I think Brendan Rodgers will just

17:57

be keen for them to get their foot on

17:59

the ball and string a few passes together and try

18:01

and work their way into this half.

18:03

They've got it because they're barely strong

18:06

three passes together. I'll try

18:08

to keep it a bit now but

18:11

again Dundee's swarming them and credit to

18:13

Dundee, the more energetic side in this

18:15

same half. They are

18:17

picking the right passes as well aren't they? We're not going

18:19

forward with Dundee which a

18:22

lot is made about decision making and that can

18:24

be the difference between players at

18:26

a top level and otherwise but they

18:28

are making the right decisions, a lot of the time

18:30

at the moment Dundee but I have given away another

18:32

free kick. Well in chaper for me. Well in runners

18:34

as well. Yeah, look chaper,

18:36

look like they believe that they're going to

18:39

get back into this game. Celtic

18:43

just need to up the pace again a little

18:45

bit, keep the ball, get that ball knocked about.

18:47

They've taken a quick free kick there, Dundee player

18:50

switched off, no opportunity. Need to

18:52

get their wide players on it. See that slack

18:54

for me. That slack, that would just frustrate

18:56

their life out of me. CUN,

18:58

that's an easy ball, Johnson makes a

19:00

great run. All it's

19:02

looking for is a weighted pass. Just put a

19:05

nice weighted pass there and he kicks it out

19:07

of the place. Celtic have had enough already. Rodgers

19:10

making two substitutions and all that.

19:13

Yes, that will be the changes

19:15

for Celtic. Would you expect Kyogo

19:17

to come off? Yep. I

19:19

would say so. I think they need to up

19:21

there just to maybe pull a bit more direct.

19:23

I think I can allow them to hold the

19:25

ball up. Would you take Cal McGregor off? I

19:28

would take McGregor off all day long. I would

19:30

just now. He should be in on him, I

19:32

could be a Hittati or McGregor. McGregor's still working

19:34

his way back to fitness, hasn't played 90 minutes,

19:36

has he? And he's contributed nothing

19:38

to Dale, that's the honest. We know Cal McGregor's

19:40

very important player and my very talented

19:43

lad. Whether it's

19:45

a fitness or whatever it may be,

19:47

he's contributed nothing to Shasternoon. I wouldn't

19:50

be surprised if it is McGregor. He

19:53

came off in a 60-second minute last

19:55

weekend, so it could be

19:57

the exact same moment here that he maybe

19:59

makes one. way Brendan Rodgers did say that

20:01

they would need to manage him for these

20:03

final periods of the season, obviously back

20:06

earlier than expected against Rangers and played

20:08

in that game probably

20:10

because it was Rangers, I don't think they

20:12

would have rushed him back if it was

20:14

another game but still easing his way back

20:16

into it. Alky Boating just picked up a

20:19

bit of a knock there, like Siffey might

20:21

be OK to continue. He's going off there

20:23

with Doc McCormick who used to be the

20:25

Celtic doctor also. Oh yeah. And

20:27

the Dundee United one before that. Oh

20:29

you've not seen one, have you not? I

20:32

think I did, we went away

20:34

to Germany, Munich together. McGregor

20:37

and Kyogo make way for Iwata

20:39

and Ida. I think with McGregor, I

20:41

think you'd rather start with him, if you think he's

20:43

close to fitness, I think just

20:45

as a figurehead you would rather start with him.

20:48

But when you see he's been so, well

20:50

he's not been influential at all in

20:52

this game or the previous game, then

20:55

you're right to take him off. Everybody

20:59

is equal in these situations.

21:02

He's going off, he's the captain, he's the high

21:04

profile one, that's the talking point. However,

21:07

those beside him, Hatati and O'Reilly have

21:09

done nothing. Yeah, I

21:11

like Iwata, I think he comes on and gives him

21:13

a bit of that steal in the middle of the

21:16

park. I

21:18

don't blame him for shoving

21:20

Kyogo, I think Kyogo's been very,

21:23

very poor today. Ida

21:25

gives him a little bit more strength, a

21:27

little bit more threat with balls into the

21:30

box from wide areas as well and we

21:32

know he can finish. Tell

21:34

us a little bit of ideas. I

21:36

mean they've not really had any of the territory to

21:39

come up with any ideas so far in this second

21:41

half but they have one themselves, a corner. So

21:44

those changes have sparked a bit more of a positive

21:46

attitude than the last minute or so. Yeah,

21:48

you just saw the difference with you there because

21:50

there was sort of 50, 50 pounds in ball,

21:52

you see any strength and he just shrugs a

21:54

Dundee centre half-army off the ball and he keeps

21:57

the attack alive for Celtic. That

22:00

was Keogho, still on the pitch, just there the way

22:02

he was going about his business. Yeah,

22:05

the corner delivery comes in, I think Liam Scales

22:07

it was, that managed to get his head on

22:09

it, but it's kind of facing the wrong way,

22:11

trying to flick it backwards and it's into the

22:13

arms of John McCracken. When was the last time

22:15

you saw Seldik do anything for Mccorma? You

22:18

know, he did the score, maybe three

22:20

or some set pieces against Undeem, the

22:23

7-1 or something like that, yeah. He

22:25

had the bad joy that night. That was in

22:27

October. Yeah. Yeah,

22:30

you want to see, as much as, you

22:33

know, we're picking on the middle of the park and rightly

22:35

so, two wide men

22:37

have fell out again. Yeah, completely. You know, it's

22:39

up to getting a bit of service, I'm sure

22:41

Forrest is a bit frustrated here because he did

22:44

a terrific first half. He needs to get the

22:46

ball, that's no good to him, but he does

22:48

well there. I mean, that

22:50

was a simple five-yard pass. Yeah. It

22:52

was a good, the Jamaican... Check there, been

22:55

slack-shaking half, it's, there's something

22:57

that you look at Seldik, one half are really,

22:59

really at it's sharp and then the next half

23:01

they seem to drop off a little bit. I

23:03

don't know what's going on there at all. That

23:06

will be a huge frustration for Brendan Rodgers because

23:08

when they come in at the break, they've created

23:10

chances, they've got that goal. You'll

23:12

have been hoping that's just a sort of platform to build

23:14

on in the second half and it's just

23:17

completely flipped the whole game. Yeah,

23:19

without doubt, you wonder what would you prefer?

23:21

Would you prefer a fast start and then

23:23

take your foot off the pedal or would

23:26

you rather finish the game strongly? It's

23:28

a hard one to argue because we've seen both sides

23:30

it from Seldik, you know, you think back to Member

23:33

Furtpark where they were so poor but

23:36

he brings Edo on at half-time and

23:38

they finish so strong, but

23:41

equally we've seen games where... Well, this is a prime

23:43

example. I thought they were good in the first half,

23:45

but they've done next

23:48

to nothing in the second period at all. That's

23:51

good movement, there you go. Yeah, Seldik

23:53

moving the ball better now out to

23:55

the right, Coon by his man and

23:57

ends up getting a corner out of

23:59

it. What? Yes, better for

24:01

Celtic. They started that down the left hand

24:04

side, worked it out to the right, Coon

24:06

had a 1v1, got to,

24:08

you know, try to get to Bialin, but

24:10

it's that right foot again. It's just like

24:12

a hit and hope because he's not really

24:14

comfortable on it, but he's trying to

24:16

put a ball in and air it for somebody to

24:18

attack it, they get a corner kick out, better play

24:20

for Celtic. Yes, Matt O'Reilly to take

24:22

this one, we're hoping that it ends

24:25

better on the left, a better from Liam's scale than

24:27

it was, it just went into the arms of John

24:29

McCracken, that doesn't be the first man. Yes,

24:32

O'Reilly's not been very good for the corner kicks

24:34

today, I've got to say, he's not given the

24:36

centre half to anything to go and really

24:39

challenge for. We

24:42

will have the open line from 5 o'clock, just

24:44

giving you pre-warning, we will take your

24:46

calls, any thoughts on this game, any

24:48

thoughts on Rangers 2-1 win over St

24:50

Mirren, general thoughts on the title race

24:53

as well, you can give us a

24:55

call, you can also watch the

24:57

live stream of the open line as well,

24:59

we'll be on camera from 5 o'clock so

25:01

you can see that on the Clyde1 Super

25:03

Scoreboard YouTube channel. Well,

25:06

it's a long day for Celtic all

25:08

of a sudden, you

25:10

know, if they get the

25:13

second goal, size of a relief all

25:15

round, but I'd

25:17

fancy Dundee to score before Celtic.

25:21

Great looking, well, they've just robbed the ball there,

25:23

James Forrest into the box, and he's got a

25:25

big chance here at Hugh Keven's head, done it

25:27

again. Done

25:31

it Michael. Dundee,

25:34

now Celtic too, and

25:36

it's James Forrest once

25:38

again, moments after Hugh

25:41

Keven's delivered a

25:43

line like that. Did you do that

25:45

deliberately? Is that

25:47

a talent? What is that? It's called

25:49

Super Sunday. Dundee

25:53

get it all wrong there, you know, McKellen

25:55

and Te Portales, and they get it all

25:57

wrong, but sale ticket alive and switched on

25:59

tonight. nick the ball back and Forrest

26:02

nicks it, it's a lovely little ball

26:04

but then two defenders get away each

26:06

other, the ball breaks to Forrest, fortuitous

26:09

but right man in the right place to tuck

26:12

it away. As I said of the St. Miron

26:15

defence when they conceded to make it 2-1

26:17

Rangers, there comes a

26:19

point in games when players at clubs like

26:21

St. Miron and Dundee lose

26:24

all concentration, the goalkeeper fell over

26:26

the St. Miron defender, two Dundee

26:28

defenders collide with each other there,

26:30

pub team defending St. Miron and

26:33

Dundee game over. Yeah it

26:35

was Lamy and McGee both sliding in, getting

26:37

in each other's way, the ball ricocheted off

26:39

of both of them and James Forrest just

26:42

alert enough to anticipate that the

26:44

ball was going to break to him in the box

26:46

and a nice finish between the legs of John McCracken.

26:48

Yeah and plus if I take into consideration his first

26:50

one was a terrific with his right foot, that's

26:52

a left foot finish. It's still a

26:55

bit to do, I know that he's favourite to

26:57

score but he's in good form, he's

26:59

playing with a lot of confidence, he's not

27:01

seen a lot of the ball in the

27:03

second half but when the opportunity fell to

27:05

him he's buried that and

27:07

you would imagine unless Dundee can

27:09

get a quick reply, shell

27:12

take, yeah that's a three points

27:14

in the bag and down the road. The

27:16

pause out of a few for you though,

27:18

two-two, it's still on, yeah it's still on,

27:21

yeah you just never know. I leave my

27:23

hat a fish two-two. Well as

27:26

I say I go from one mistake

27:28

to the other with no loss of

27:30

enthusiasm. Oh my goodness, they've been quite

27:32

something to the other.

27:36

Oh god. The second half was starting

27:38

to shift wasn't it? Dundee had some

27:40

real dominance for the first 10-15 minutes

27:42

of that second half Celtic, weren't necessarily

27:45

creating chances but they had more territory,

27:47

they did have more of the ball

27:49

in dangerous areas so they've

27:51

felt that it was maybe swinging in their

27:53

direction. Yeah but I don't think it's anything

27:56

to do with the Celtic defence being ropey or

27:58

anything like that. The bag's balance of the game

28:01

just shifted and Dundee took the game towards Celtic

28:03

and then you need your back phone, your goalkeeper

28:05

and your midfielders to hold strong and that period

28:08

they did and you hope then that

28:10

the guys at the top end of the pitch

28:13

score and just alleviate some of the

28:15

pressure. That's exactly what's happened. So just

28:17

as the game was going one way

28:19

for Tony Dockside, it's a

28:21

cruel hammer blow to him in this second

28:23

half and Brendan

28:26

Rogers will be relieved, made

28:28

substitutions and whichever way you look

28:30

at it, it's worked it's at a positive effect. A

28:32

few people on Twitter taking pleasure in

28:35

your predictions so far Hugh, Jason Coogans

28:37

is asking you to keep your predictions

28:39

coming. Mystic Hugh, James

28:42

don't finish yet. Yeah. It's

28:46

just your timing is brilliant for me. Yeah.

28:49

But you know every team needs

28:51

entertainers. Honestly with that one I think

28:54

it's a good one.

28:56

I think if someone had told you the exact second

28:58

Celtic were going to score you still couldn't have timed

29:00

it better than you did. Yeah. That's

29:03

a gift. Yeah if I go to see

29:05

him just scoring it will be Dundee. Oops.

29:07

Maybe I got that one on, I'm

29:09

not too sure. It

29:14

was one of the ones, he was looking at

29:16

you going press it 8-sign. I

29:20

would wait my enjoy there Hugh

29:22

because he could have helped you.

29:25

Listen, you all speak as if I have

29:27

some regrets over this matter. I'm too old

29:29

for regrets, I'm just happy to be here.

29:32

The one thing we should give you credit for,

29:34

you've been championing all week that James Forrest

29:36

should be starting for Celtic and he's got

29:38

two goals. Comes good, two goals. He's

29:41

the story of the day. You

29:45

look at the performances of Celtic and

29:47

Rangers today, I remain true to the end of

29:50

my belief the league is

29:52

being contested by two average teams as Palmer

29:54

prepares to take the place of Cun I

29:56

assume. Yeah, was Palmer just

29:58

stripped and ready to come on? for Celtic with

30:01

around 20 minutes to go in this

30:03

game, just the psychology of it as well.

30:05

Dundee would have had their tails up with

30:07

the way they were playing early in the

30:09

second half to then concede and in that

30:11

manner as well will be a huge blow.

30:14

I've rarely seen two

30:16

games back to back where the

30:19

second goal for Celtic and Rangers

30:21

is as the result

30:23

of just stupid

30:25

defending, eccentric defending call it

30:28

what you like but goalkeeper

30:30

falls over defender at

30:32

Paisley, two Dundee defenders

30:35

crash into each other at

30:38

Dens Park and James Forrest goes off

30:40

now. Yeah James Forrest's afternoon is over

30:42

he's done his job two goals for

30:44

him. And his return for the starting

30:46

11. Let me tell you he becomes

30:48

a very important player in the running

30:50

now because he ain't going to be

30:52

left out next week and

30:54

that's for him. It's astonishing that he's

30:56

in so little game time. It's amazing

30:59

that he could now become such an

31:01

important player for him. I keep going

31:03

people driving up the wall because you're

31:05

30 odd years of age you're

31:08

finished and oh you shouldn't be at the club

31:10

and all that nonsense. He's

31:12

a terrific player he's played under a lot

31:14

of managers at Celtic come again. There it

31:16

is. Oh Celtic so close.

31:19

Hattati that deserved a goal. They're

31:21

going 3 now up real Hattati's

31:23

shot canoning back off Dundee's post.

31:25

Good play from me again there

31:27

to actually initiate the move. Cut

31:29

back to Hattati showed good footwork

31:32

across McCratting inside the post

31:34

so close to making it

31:36

3. Yeah he's unlucky he's

31:38

very unlucky terrific skill from him. You

31:40

know he's got it and he's locked

31:42

it. He just picks up for Johnston.

31:45

He just shimmies, he

31:48

knows what he's doing. Control with his right foot.

31:50

Goalkeeper beating all ends down. Unlucky hit

31:52

supports that would have been the real

31:55

killer for Dundee. All ends down.

31:58

All ends up. I

32:01

only teach mix-up a little bit, I'm like you.

32:06

Just looking at the stats for Celtic's wingers

32:08

in terms of league goals this season, that's

32:10

James Forrest now up to five. The same

32:12

as Dyson Maeda, only one fewer than

32:15

Louis Palma as well. He's

32:18

got more than a few other of the wingers

32:20

that have been in and out the team as well.

32:22

I could return for the lack of

32:25

game time he's had. Yeah, yeah, it's

32:27

out down, shows the quality of player

32:29

he is. And then

32:31

big games as well. And this is a big game when

32:33

you score at this end of the season, these goals matter.

32:36

Well all kidding apart, it's two and the

32:38

half, but Dundee have their umpteenth corner of

32:40

the second half and Celtic have to be

32:43

resolute to you. Another own Dodgson delivery, it'll

32:45

be an in-swinger, seeing if he can cause

32:47

Celtic any problems. There is an initial payoff

32:49

and it's ended up in the back of

32:52

the net. How's that 2-2 looking? With

32:55

M&D green pharmacy. Just

32:57

like that, we talked about game swinging and

32:59

Dundee have one back, there's only one goal

33:01

in it now. Portales celebrates, I think it

33:04

maybe took a nick off of Adam Ida

33:06

on the way through and that

33:08

will make the final 15 minutes or so of this

33:10

game very interesting. Yeah, yeah,

33:12

it's Adam Ida. It's Adam Ida

33:14

from Adam Ida isn't it? Because Portales

33:16

shot wasn't overly powerful was it at

33:19

the second attempt. Joe Hart probably would

33:21

have dealt with it but Adam Ida

33:23

takes a big swing at it and

33:25

it just diverts it past Joe Hart

33:28

who was already diving to his left.

33:30

All wrong there from Ida, almost like

33:32

a cricketer being bow there, he goes,

33:34

he swings his leg and he just

33:36

catches his knee and it's

33:39

a dreadful goal for Celtic to consider.

33:41

Ironically it was probably Dodgson's worst corner,

33:43

you know it was all, it was

33:45

bumpy and they didn't deal

33:47

with the first one. Well I'd be asking as

33:49

much as it is a horrific goal for Celtic,

33:51

why is he still in there so deep? If

33:54

you look at the rest of the defenders, they're all... Yeah he's completely

33:56

above a toe are they? No, and he just

33:58

takes a mad swing at it. It's

34:00

a lifeline for Dundee, it gives him a

34:03

bit of encouragement and there's still plenty of

34:05

time to go. By the way, and she's

34:07

at one end, Hataati, inside the report, right

34:09

up the other end to 2-1. Can

34:12

you ask the Twitter Hati about my predictions now? You're

34:14

still rolling for now. I've

34:18

been genuinely sure you're still now running, you

34:20

never know. Yeah, there are certain photos who

34:22

have turned off the telly and walked the

34:25

dog even though they don't have a dog

34:27

because they can't bear to watch. Yeah. Oh,

34:32

even Brendan Rodgers having a wee glance

34:34

at his watch, yeah, thinking, hmm, how

34:36

long ago? The self-disporters

34:39

behind that goal are in a state

34:41

of panic. Yeah,

34:43

I think the mood would have shifted significantly just with

34:45

that goal because it looked as if Celtic would probably

34:48

see this out without too many worries at all as

34:50

Joe Hart should be taking that time now. Joe Hart

34:52

should be taking that time now. I

34:55

mean, they could have done that first time there, takes

34:57

a touch and bites pressure. They've

35:01

made it... They've made

35:03

it hard for themselves, Celtic. If

35:08

you get a bit of fortune like that, if you're

35:10

Dundee, you've got to try and capitalise on it because

35:12

I didn't think there was any way back for Dundee.

35:14

They've got a little bit of luck. They've

35:17

worked hard, maybe some people say, yeah,

35:19

they deserve it, but they've

35:21

got to go and try and just push on forward

35:23

now. I

35:25

still think Celtic, if there's another goal

35:27

come, I still think it'll come, Celtic's

35:29

way. I

35:31

mean, you're trying to do a huge human thing, isn't it? Yeah,

35:34

I will wait until the appropriate moment and

35:36

then I shall say something. I

35:38

was amateur stuff from you, the ball was

35:40

nowhere near the box there. You need to

35:42

wait until it looks as if there's a

35:44

chance just about to happen. No,

35:47

I do think Celtic, I think he'll

35:50

see it out. I've got to say. Well,

35:53

I'll hold you to that. Dundee

35:55

will feel just given

35:57

the way that they started the second half and

36:00

they have... managed to sort of get at Celtic,

36:02

believe it or not, they forced your heart into

36:04

loads of saves but they'll feel that there is,

36:06

there could be opportunities for them but Celtic on

36:09

the other hand will also feel you know with Rael

36:11

Hittati hitting the post and John McCracken forced into saves

36:13

in the first half that they might have another one

36:15

in them as well. Yeah well

36:17

then they know they can put Celtic under pressure, they've

36:19

seen it in this same tough and that gives you

36:21

spirit, that does give you belief. We talked about the

36:23

error with St. Miron with the chances

36:25

he created and they'll be in the exact same boat

36:28

at the minute. They know they've got plenty of time,

36:30

they don't need to rush things, they just need to

36:32

stay in this game and then they'll get another opportunity.

36:37

Yeah done the Eager Slack. The

36:39

Slack, Slack balls. Sending it clear

36:42

and Liam Scales having to go back to

36:45

Cameron Carter-Vickers, maybe we'll be

36:47

a bit more of an edgy final few

36:49

moments just because of that goal.

36:51

Eager is the understatement of all

36:54

time. There will be

36:56

panic, there are 12 regulation

36:58

minutes and probably another 4 or

37:01

5 beyond panic

37:03

now for Celtic. I've

37:06

got to say since Celtic wants to go

37:08

I think they'll f*** it, they'll respond it

37:10

very well. Yeah Lewis Palmer stabbing the ball

37:13

towards the back post. That goal, although I

37:15

think Dodgson maybe got a touch

37:17

on it. He feels the

37:20

decision should go his way but the

37:23

officials have given Celtic a corner

37:25

of the correct. He's

37:28

in a good position because that's a great ball

37:30

from Palmer, just flick into the back post, you

37:33

need your full back, top 10 tight there because

37:35

Coons coming in behind him. Does

37:37

enough to divert it behind for a corner. Matt

37:39

Riley's delivery has to be better though. That's

37:42

a good delivery. F***. Don't

37:44

be able to get away with

37:46

a couple of headers. Yeah

37:50

I just think there are too many

37:52

lightweights out in the park for Celtic

37:54

now. Coon, Palmer, you're really looking for

37:58

the Battlesguard veterans. Now to

38:00

get this over the line but you know long

38:02

way to go for sure. Do you think he'll

38:04

bring Yang on here? Well that would be the

38:07

final. Oh I love that. Please

38:09

have it. I love that. That would be the

38:11

suicide note. Oh, then he

38:13

scores. Another big

38:15

game down in England not long kicked off. You're

38:17

recording this one. Yeah. You're outside. Yeah.

38:20

Nothing in Forest Man City. Ugh, we'll

38:22

batter it. We. Well

38:24

that's what all the ex-players do, don't they?

38:27

It's we, we. They'll want a

38:29

club tie. There's my head in. I

38:32

know what I'd done at City. I was a legend. Legend.

38:36

Is that who the fans

38:38

remember? No really, no. Just in

38:40

my own mind. Do you mean legend as in

38:42

myth rather than legendary? I was great in the

38:45

City, Shane. I'll let me tell you now. Name

38:50

will go down in history for very different reasons.

38:53

I was most of my best performance. I

38:58

think Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foul might have

39:01

a legal case for the word legend.

39:03

Yeah. Another

39:05

corner for Celtic, which will come to nothing.

39:07

And then we can get one with the

39:09

rest of the game. In a lot of

39:11

corners, both sides, yeah, in this game. Yeah,

39:13

Matt O'Reilly with another delivery outswinger headed towards

39:16

goal. He's got to believe that. He's got to come

39:18

and cover Vickers, but I'm going to get it away for now.

39:21

It's Ray O'Tati's ball in, Luke McCow in a

39:23

way. Celtic

39:25

just try to keep the pressure on, you know,

39:27

try to work it in their wide area. Well,

39:30

it's totally back. And back in again,

39:33

or is that Taylor? I thought it was Taylor.

39:35

I thought it was Taylor, Matt. Maybe Taylor on

39:37

the wrong side there. Yeah. Could

39:40

be wrong. But

39:42

it was a poor ball. It just needed to keep

39:44

the pressure on. We've seen St.

39:47

Miron today, you know, running a bit of the ball, just being

39:49

patient and coming out. It's a bit of

39:51

Celtic needed there. But it's been scrappy.

39:53

It's been poor on the final third,

39:55

I think, for Celtic in this second

39:57

period. I know the score, but that's...

40:00

a bit fortuitous how it came about. I think

40:02

they're now in territory of the Seamus Rangers at

40:04

Paisley. Three points and get down the road. Get

40:07

down the road. These two games today are maybe a

40:09

bit of a sign of what we might see in

40:11

terms of just the edginess, bit

40:13

of nervousness from both sides, that maybe the

40:15

games towards the end of the season won't

40:17

have a whole lot of honesty. Especially away

40:20

from home. Definitely. And like you

40:22

have to price into the thinking as well

40:24

that you're playing the top six teams. So

40:26

they always carry more of a threat than

40:28

if you're going away to lovey who won't

40:30

lay a goal in New York. I

40:33

was going to say Ross County, but

40:35

that proved different for Rangers. You're

40:37

playing against teams who have had a good

40:39

season. Dundee players will be feeling good

40:41

about themselves because the season have had Seamus and

40:43

Marin. So it's a bigger

40:45

challenge, no doubt about that. Scales

40:48

begin to look at his head swiveling.

40:51

Not really sure where he is. Very,

40:56

very dangerous times for Celtics. My game's

40:58

a long way from over. Here they've

41:00

not had a shot a goal since

41:02

the score. Have you said

41:04

dangerous? Oh well. When

41:06

my two-two comes up, I've...

41:10

That way, the skills got it there.

41:12

What was skills? Get it up for them. They certainly

41:14

could get the pants score a goal. I'm not denying

41:16

that, but what I'm saying is, they've

41:19

not had a shot anywhere near Joe

41:21

Hart since the score. So right now,

41:23

it's not dangerous times, but

41:27

they're quite capable of saying... You're going to

41:29

regret that if they score. If they score,

41:31

Hugh's going to be on you big time.

41:33

He can't see this. He's not a safety

41:35

mate. It could be quite a day for

41:37

Hugh if what preceded both of

41:39

Celtics goals and then you got a prediction right

41:42

on top of all of that as well. Here

41:45

come the flaky four again. I tried to clear the ball.

41:47

Cameron Carter-Vickers dealing with it pretty

41:50

well. Just a good

41:52

player. Just a good player. You got to say £6 million.

41:54

What was that for him? Yeah, £6.5 million. A loan

41:57

and then £6.5 million. It's

41:59

great business. that. Tried before

42:01

you buy, I like that policy. Yeah

42:04

I like that myself. None of it's worked with

42:06

Bernardo, right enough. I usually try but I never

42:08

buy. Would

42:12

you expect Bernardo will depart in the summer

42:14

not to be seen again? I dunno, cos he's

42:16

getting £6 million for a guy who sits

42:18

on the bench. Consistently, you know he

42:20

had a wee purple patch round about the time

42:22

she'll take way down at Parskin Boxing Day. Every

42:24

good we period. What would, not

42:26

enough. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah

42:29

that's another bit. I don't care about my Joel

42:31

Hart and maybe a chance for Dundee to get

42:34

this into the Celtic box and try

42:36

and get a shot. I'm all from

42:38

building from the back but you've got

42:40

to, sometimes you've just got

42:42

to realise what's the best option and

42:44

that certainly wasn't the best option for

42:46

Celtic. You've got to realise as well,

42:48

there's no grass in the six yard

42:50

box so when Skills gets sat and

42:53

then decides to play it back to

42:55

Joel Hart, bobbling with a man running

42:57

at him, it's not the right option at all

42:59

with six minutes remaining of the 90. So

43:01

Celtic have invited this pressure, they're facing a

43:04

long throw in here. Yeah,

43:06

the long throw comes into the box. It's

43:09

fallen into a bit of a dangerous area

43:11

but Celtic will be able to leave

43:14

with the ball. Luis Palma loses

43:17

out to Portales. There's

43:20

a good long throw that, fairly flat, hard

43:22

to defend but they do well

43:24

to get it away. It's a bit staggering

43:26

that Palma, when he came on the scene

43:28

at first, everybody spoke about his numbers and

43:30

how good he was. Lately, I

43:33

don't know what it is, offered

43:35

absolutely. Nothing the Golden Assist have

43:37

dried up, I think even during that period.

43:39

I know he was injured, he was an

43:41

injury and I accept that but

43:44

I remember watching him when Comeannock beat him in

43:46

the league down at Robby Part and I just

43:49

kept focusing on him. Oh

43:51

my goodness, it was dreadful. I

43:54

do think even in that period where he

43:56

was scoring and assisting, it wasn't as if he

43:58

was, you know, setting the header

44:00

alight and putting in brilliant performances and being the

44:02

best player in the park. But he was making

44:05

telling contributions but he's been in and out the

44:07

team, he's had injuries, he's not

44:09

contributing on the sort

44:12

of numbers front as he was in his

44:14

early days at Celtic. No, no. He's a

44:16

flash player and I don't mean just, you

44:19

know, he likes to be fast. He plays in

44:21

flashes really. You know, moments in

44:23

games. What was that? No, he's

44:25

not in the corner. We

44:28

might need the SSB video. Have a look

44:30

at that guy. He's bumping

44:32

me on the desk. Getting

44:35

some warm up. Oh, that

44:37

is just so heavy. How

44:40

did you even manage that? I don't know, shit, my leg.

44:43

Just a very concerning noise that I heard from

44:45

the other side of the desk and then you

44:48

disappear. Oh, can we get some ice in? A

44:51

good bath in there. I feel a little bit swelling. Yeah,

44:54

I'm blank business. Michael Melanone

44:56

for Dundee, boy who knows his way

44:58

to goal. Anxious

45:01

spaces and the Celtic end. Yeah, has

45:03

scored off the bench a few times

45:05

for Dundee since arriving in January. I

45:10

just look at Celtic's front three,

45:14

Coon, Ida, Pama.

45:17

Oh, long ball. That was a flaky four,

45:19

we're okay there. Yeah, I'm about

45:21

to go hot. I've been flaky today Hugh, the back four

45:23

in 86 minutes. I've

45:26

seen them flaky, huh? But... I

45:31

don't have an answer. I mean, the

45:33

goal they concede to you is... It's

45:36

not very good. The back four is poor forces.

45:38

He'd have just misjudged in that, in

45:40

a bad error. I think the back

45:42

four has done okay so far.

45:45

They've not given up loads of chances.

45:47

Joe Hart hasn't had his goal peppered either.

45:50

But the point that was originally going to make

45:53

the front three, how's that going

45:55

to get you over the line? What do you mean? Well,

45:57

I mean, they're winning this game. But

46:01

still winning it though, we talked about Rangers earlier on

46:03

and it's all about winning the games. The

46:06

performances aren't necessarily key to it

46:08

as long as you're getting the

46:11

results. Liam

46:13

Scales puts that one out for a corner. Less

46:17

than three minutes to go of the 90, that will be

46:19

a few added as well. I would say there

46:21

are, I think Scales has to do better with

46:24

that clearance. It's on his right foot, I know

46:26

it's his weaker side, but he needs to direct

46:28

that out for a throw in and

46:30

it's come off the outside

46:32

of his foot and it's away for a corner

46:34

kick. Dundee, a big team, look at the size

46:36

of Lami and Saran there. Yeah, compared to Cameron

46:39

Kartavikas as well, who does really well in the

46:41

air doesn't he? Generally for him not being the

46:43

tallest centre back out there. All over Joe Hart

46:45

here, we've seen this at McDermott Park earlier. Yeah,

46:47

it's a field to deal with. That's a good

46:49

delivery by Darragh and Stelloe, doesn't beat the first

46:51

man at the corner. You've

46:54

only put a right and top in a Celtic goalkeeper.

46:56

We saw him struggle in that game that

46:59

Celtic struggled in. El Aaron and

47:01

the season and they got a goal, St John's in

47:03

that, Dundee needed somewhere there. Poor

47:06

delivery, but he got a chance to throw in.

47:08

This is hard to defend, this is hard on

47:10

the corner to defend against. I'd

47:12

run up to Standen as Fraser to

47:14

do that for my huge un-expert. Ah,

47:17

brilliant, honestly. Wow, it's a throw,

47:19

it's a really good launch as well. Can I

47:21

head up for Scales? And Scales did well to

47:23

head away. Well,

47:25

it certainly tends, there's no doubt about

47:27

that. Celtic fans in the stand behind

47:29

the goal will be feeling it at the minute. Yeah,

47:34

but as much as it

47:36

tends, and I do agree with that, you

47:38

take away the fluke with Dundee, you go, so

47:41

hard's not had a save to me. It doesn't

47:44

alter the fact that it's 2-1. I know

47:46

that, but he's not had a save to me. But yeah,

47:48

but the game's still in progress, so what

47:50

he's not had to do so far is

47:52

not... Yeah, but my thing

47:54

is, do you really see Dundee unless

47:57

it's a better luck score on a goal? An

48:00

injury there for Real Hittati, who's

48:02

down. It was just

48:06

caught late, wasn't he, by Ricky Lamy? I should

48:08

have just let that play there. John's been... The

48:10

ball's been played wide, they've got a 1v1. Very

48:13

rarely do you see that stotting.

48:18

Maybe Celtic just want to kill time here. Yeah, pulled

48:20

it back for the free kick. And

48:22

we'll find out in a few moments, like the fourth

48:25

official was just picking up the board, ready to tell

48:27

us how many minutes. How long were we thinking here,

48:29

boys? Five minutes. Can it be five? Why?

48:31

I've hardly been in trainers on many subs. I've just

48:34

hit about six subs. Great feat, that, from that. Yeah,

48:36

it's a nice buy, all right, later. I'm going to

48:38

kick out the pitch. I

48:40

want John to send out a position, he

48:42

will certainly need a water or someone like

48:44

that just to fill in for him, because

48:46

he's right in the touchline. I've got to

48:48

say, it's a typical Celtic performance. First half,

48:50

which I aren't good at. Everything about them.

48:52

Second half. Looks like different

48:54

teams coming out the tunnel. John

48:58

McCracken's kick is sliced into the

49:00

air for five minutes added. Well

49:03

done, lad. I

49:05

know my stuff. Absolutely. Yeah, you've obviously, you're

49:07

in the game, you've got the stopwatch. Thank

49:09

you. Have you given a free kick to

49:11

Dundee? I think I've just obstructionied.

49:13

I've just obstructionied, yeah. It's not inside the box, though.

49:15

You know how to do that? You can't stand to

49:17

right-play in front of the goalkeeper and block them from

49:20

kicking the ball. You

49:23

can sort of stand there, but if you make

49:25

a motion to try and block the ball from

49:27

being kicked, then free

49:29

kick is given. OK. Good play, Dad. You've been

49:31

on the way all the way up to... Stay

49:34

in that corner at... No, for five

49:36

minutes. No, I'm good. You

49:38

could have been in there for five minutes. Berthjal

49:41

could have. Ah, Berthjal would do something else,

49:43

but... This is for

49:45

Celtic. Just need to be patient. Coon needs to

49:47

do better than he has done. In

49:50

a second, 45, he does keep his position.

49:52

He does keep his position. In

49:54

Coon. Yeah. In Coon. Look

49:58

at... Speed double. We'll

50:00

be hearing from Coons, the baller and... What

50:04

happened there when you said that? Was him

50:06

just controlling the ball normally on the touchdown?

50:08

What a touch. What a touch it was.

50:10

Luis Palma whips one just wide in the

50:12

mark. I frustrates your life out of me,

50:14

Palma. I frustrates your life out of me.

50:16

Well, that frustrates Brendan Rodgers as well. You

50:19

just need to hold on to the ball rather

50:21

than, you know, take a sort of pot shot

50:23

from the edge. I mean, it's nowhere near

50:25

as well. Right, you've got options. Keep the ball,

50:27

keep it back in. Take it back through the

50:30

other side and just run down the clock.

50:32

Two-one, you're out of there, you're still top of

50:34

the league, you're still in control of the league,

50:36

three points. But try

50:38

to hit a spectacular is not for

50:41

me at all. Bad

50:43

game management. Yeah,

50:45

well, Celtic have a team that do

50:48

have a bit more of the ball in these final stages

50:50

than they trying to win

50:52

it in midfield and right forwards, but it's a

50:54

nice pass on the turn by Hittak. Yeah. Celtic

50:57

have a bit of an opening here. Mal Riley

50:59

threads it through into the box for Hittak.

51:01

I'll tell you what, no one there for the cutback. Think

51:04

Palma should have done better with a run there. A run, yeah. Yeah,

51:07

I think you picked the wrong thing

51:10

out there. Hugh, I keep

51:12

getting back to it. You need to tell me where

51:14

your confidence is at Dundee or score because the can

51:17

is trying to pass together. Right, on

51:19

Celtic of the same. I don't know what I was thinking here,

51:21

though. I mean, it's

51:24

an easy help up the line there and he

51:26

puts his goalkeeper under a bit of pressure. Joe

51:28

Hart does well, but it's

51:31

only as far as the halfway line. That's

51:33

a foul and now I invite pressure right onto

51:35

the field. Let's give you a chance, Hugh. He

51:37

does have this short first. I say, come on.

51:40

I think Hugh, he'll do it rather nearly

51:42

out Dundee score here. A cardigan over the

51:44

head. No, I run round here and give

51:46

it to me. He's

51:50

waiting for me this afternoon. Well, by

51:52

the way, this is tense. Dundee haven't

51:54

created a lot, but when you're in

51:56

the 93rd minute and you're facing a

51:58

free kick, why do we... Those Celtic

52:00

players will be feeling it. Yeah, deep free

52:02

kick, it is about 40 odd yards out.

52:04

Luke McKeown standing over it to deliver with

52:06

his left foot towards

52:09

the box. Can't do that. Good area. That

52:11

opportunity. And I want my head up in there

52:13

from Michael Mellon. But it goes just wide in

52:15

the mark. I see you got to do better

52:18

now. I think

52:21

he's going to get that cross goes. He

52:23

gets that cross goes. I think this comes off their

52:25

own party's head. Yeah. Oh, that's

52:27

a good opportunity. The

52:30

Celtic backline on that occasion, too many gaps between

52:32

them. If you're going to defend like a seven

52:35

or eight in a straight line and drop together,

52:37

then there can't be any gaps between you to

52:39

allow the Dundee players to go between. And

52:41

there's two Dundee players in between a

52:43

water and maybe Taylor there. That's

52:46

how the opportunity comes about. Fouliki.

52:49

I think just a combination of Joe Hart and the

52:51

Celtic support there taking their time to get that ball

52:54

back into play,

52:56

which your Celtic fans will be happy

52:58

about trying to waste as much time as possible.

53:00

They've got a minute to see this. And

53:03

if you don't do that, then I'm sure

53:06

he deserves to be under pressure. Dundee

53:10

have a throw in around the halfway line. Surely

53:12

get the long throwing guy. Get it out

53:15

of the box. From halfway. Surely. Oh, he

53:17

could probably still hit the Celtic 18-yard ball.

53:19

The only 18-yard box you keep wanting, then.

53:21

Right, right, right. When was it? He

53:24

did it by. It was in their own

53:26

half, wasn't it? And he managed to take it about 15

53:29

yards into Celtic's half. Celtic, I know,

53:31

just kicking it anywhere. You can

53:33

hear the fans screaming about that as well.

53:35

That's something fans love to scream about, is

53:37

players stealing yards at throw-ins. I don't know

53:39

if their cue wasn't the bravest air here.

53:42

Well, one final ball into the box. It

53:44

was the back post. And it goes beyond

53:46

for a Celtic goal kick. And you'd think,

53:48

with 10 minutes of the five of injury

53:50

time to go, that that will be it.

53:52

And Celtic will get the three points by

53:55

the same score line that Rangers did earlier

53:57

on. Yeah, no, like second half's been ropey.

54:00

Joe Hart has been booked for time wasting. But

54:05

in the first half performance, I think Celtic

54:07

deserved to win the game. Because as much

54:10

as Dundee have been better, setting half, I

54:13

deflected goal. Joe

54:15

Hart is not real, I'd say to me. I

54:17

know that Celtic certainly haven't been

54:19

bathroom down Dundee's goal, but Forrest gets the

54:21

goal that probably gets him his three points.

54:25

And they'll take this long ball

54:27

from Joe Hart. Just head it out, throw

54:29

in, and really that should be

54:32

that. So both teams,

54:34

not perfect performances from both,

54:36

but effective and just what's

54:38

needed at this time of

54:40

the season. Three points is

54:42

key. It's like Celtic

54:44

have got the job done here to match Rangers. I've

54:46

said all week, Celtic and

54:49

Rangers will be difficult, but they'll win

54:51

their two games leading up to the

54:53

Old Firm game. Well, that is a full tie whistle.

54:55

It has gone at Dens Park, Fraser Wisher has the

54:58

story. It has gone. It's

55:00

Dundee won Celtic to a deserved win for Celtic

55:02

in the end, but they had to work harder

55:04

than they would have liked, especially if there was

55:06

a first half performance in James Forest. Had them

55:08

ahead, had the break, Dundee came back into it

55:10

in the second half, but as the game went

55:12

over, when James Forest got his second in the

55:15

sixth, seven times, Dundee pulled one back to give

55:17

the Celtic fans some there. Soon the kick-off of

55:19

Dundee goal was under real threat. A whirlwind start

55:21

by Celtic, John McCracken, and Dundee goal had to

55:23

be smart. They saved two knickers, coon efforts,

55:25

they cut inside, and hit two identical sources left

55:27

foot, good series by the big keeper. They then

55:29

had to push away a Greg Taylor back, pulled

55:31

header, and that was all in the first eight

55:33

minutes. But the goal came from 29 minutes. A

55:35

pass in, Dundee

55:44

had a couple of chances, the best was in Deutschland,

55:46

tossed to the back, pulled some baka yoko, got onto

55:49

the ball, didn't make good contact, but he should have

55:51

done better. They just turned it into the arms all

55:53

of heart. I think Brian, Brendan Rodgers, would have

55:55

wanted a second to give them some comfort, but

55:57

in the second half, at the start of it,

55:59

it was Dundee who were on the ball. on

56:01

the front foot, Portland has got, he's put to

56:03

a dangerous McCouring's free kick, he should have done

56:05

better than just turning into the arms. O'Hartland's Taylor

56:07

had a big chance, headed wide for a Dodgson

56:09

corner, and McGaybrough mixed up another Dodgson corner into

56:12

the back post, and he should have done better

56:14

than the head into O'Hart's arms. Still a bit

56:16

offered little in the second half, fans are kind

56:18

of a wee bit concerned, Bryn and Rodgers responding,

56:20

two changes, Ida and Iwata, Owen

56:22

for Keogo and McGregor, and in 67 minutes,

56:24

they did get that second goal when James

56:26

Ford has scored his second. And they drove

56:28

into the penalty box, Lanny and McGay challenged

56:30

him, but they actually got in each other's way,

56:33

and the ball broke beautifully for us, who hammered

56:35

the ball home with his left foot. 72nd minute,

56:37

Ida did well on the right-hand side, set up

56:39

Johnston, who then passed to Atati, who made a

56:41

yard, start the shot really well, and hit the

56:43

post and cleared the 3-0. It would have been

56:45

all over, but two minutes later Dundee made the

56:47

game more interesting. Another Dodgson corner, this time post,

56:49

and his turned the ball goer, didn't look much

56:51

harm in it, and as Ida swung his foot

56:53

to clear it, he just hit the ball into

56:56

the back of his own net. The Celtic fans

56:58

now are a bit quieter as they knew another

57:00

Dundee goal, would put a big dent in

57:02

their title hopes, with Celtic back four defending

57:04

well, and the Celtic saw

57:06

the game out comfortably in the end,

57:08

and that's another tricky away game ticked

57:11

off, four games to go, and three

57:13

points ahead of Rangers. Still seven-dense part,

57:15

Dundee won, Celtic two. Yes,

57:17

the action is over, but we are still here

57:19

for another hour, and we want to hear from

57:21

you. 0141 951 1025, whether it's your thoughts on

57:23

Rangers victory against

57:28

St. Miron earlier on, whether it's your thoughts

57:30

on Celtic's victory against Dundee, maybe general thoughts about

57:32

the title race as well. We want to hear

57:34

from you, and you can join us on the

57:36

live stream as well. Go on YouTube, search for

57:39

Clyde 1 Super Scoreboard, and you can watch us

57:41

there as well. 0141 951 1025, and we'll take

57:43

your calls next. After

57:47

the action, it's your reaction. 0141 951 1025,

57:49

Clyde 1, Super Scoreboard's open line. Yes,

57:57

a 2-1 win for Rangers earlier

57:59

on again. St. Mirren

58:01

and a 2-1 win for Celtic against

58:03

Dundee. So it's as you were in

58:05

the title race today after

58:07

victories for both sides. How do you

58:10

reflect on it all? Well,

58:12

you reflect on two teams who got the

58:14

job done, but in a highly

58:18

unspectacular fashion. I

58:20

stand by my belief that this

58:22

championship has been contested by two

58:25

very average old firm teams. In

58:27

the history of those two clubs, there

58:30

cannot have been as average

58:32

a pairing as they put up now.

58:34

But that doesn't matter.

58:37

All that matters is that Celtic have a three-point

58:40

lead. They play hearts now at Celtic Park, a

58:42

team who have beaten them home in the wader

58:44

season already. Following day,

58:46

Rangers play Komanuk. And

58:48

they will both be tested because they're not

58:50

good enough to assume anything. Yeah,

58:53

I mean, both teams, it wasn't really done in style by

58:55

either. I've got a lot of self-granger today, but the main

58:57

thing is in a title race is to get that three

58:59

points, move on to the

59:01

next game. Yeah, well, that's it. I mean, both

59:03

managers, coaching teams and players know

59:05

what's expected at this end of the season. With

59:08

five games to go and pressure huge on their shoulders, and

59:11

both of them know that they're facing each other twice. So

59:15

these games are just a bit getting the job done. And

59:17

they went about it in different fashions today. I

59:19

thought Rangers were under

59:22

more pressure, I agree

59:24

with that and that, pressure within the

59:26

game from a simmering side that were

59:28

brave going forward. And they got the

59:30

job done. Celtic, I thought, approached the

59:32

first 45 minutes very well. Again, took

59:34

a stick backwards instead of forwards and allowed Dundee

59:36

back in the game and made it difficult in

59:38

the closing periods. However, three points for each of

59:40

them and only two very difficult games

59:42

next week. It was about two players for me

59:45

today. We cut aside

59:47

Dezrs for his overall play and

59:49

he steps up with a winner. He's a centre forward,

59:51

he plays with Rangers. That's what

59:53

he's there for. And he produced and it's

59:56

a valuable three points. It's all about the

59:58

three points. You then flip that. today

1:00:00

and a man that came on last week

1:00:02

James Forrest a lot of people thought he's

1:00:04

Celtic career was Peter now he's now become

1:00:06

a big player for Celtic in the run-in

1:00:09

two terrific goals today and while he

1:00:11

was on the part still played very

1:00:13

well indeed I think both

1:00:16

managers we said it all week

1:00:18

St. Mearnaway Dundee away it's always

1:00:20

got to be difficult it's all

1:00:22

about the three points and they've

1:00:24

achieved that. Dijen Meda's return for

1:00:26

Celtic cannot come quickly enough for

1:00:28

Brendan Rodgers because you know in

1:00:30

the latter stages of the game there at

1:00:32

the Dens today you've got

1:00:34

Kuhn, Adam

1:00:36

Ida and Palma and poor

1:00:39

old Adam Ida came on and had

1:00:41

a personal nightmare he scores the own

1:00:43

goal for Dundee and couldn't

1:00:46

have kicked doors at Halloween for the remainder

1:00:48

of the game with Celtic and the players

1:00:50

in the wide positions Kuhn and...

1:00:53

I thought like Adam Ida was Celtic's main issue today though.

1:00:55

No, no, no, no I'm not saying

1:00:57

that the front three you

1:01:00

need more than that to lightweight

1:01:04

and you know when Celtic were under all sorts

1:01:06

of pressure. Then earlier on we were talking

1:01:08

about Rangers not being a great performance and you

1:01:10

know how does that look going forward should

1:01:12

that concern fans and the view was you know

1:01:14

Rangers have won the game they've done what they

1:01:17

need to do to Celtic not just do

1:01:19

exactly the same today as well. Yeah as

1:01:21

we analyzed the Rangers I'm just

1:01:24

analyzing Celtic but they

1:01:26

both get the job done they were

1:01:28

scrappy performances from the pair of them

1:01:30

but this is a week that's going

1:01:32

to be one on the back of

1:01:34

scrappy performances. I think personally I

1:01:37

think there's a worry for both teams going

1:01:39

forward. One, I thought

1:01:41

Rangers were off it today right and

1:01:44

some of their players were off it. If

1:01:46

you look at that then you

1:01:48

look at Celtic they've got this

1:01:50

reputation now of one

1:01:52

half's good one half's bad that

1:01:55

would worry me but I said earlier

1:01:57

and I've said it from the split

1:01:59

fixtures. I think Rangers and Celtic,

1:02:01

especially with home games next week, will

1:02:04

win both their games and I

1:02:06

think Celtic part becomes shown born. I

1:02:09

said the other on it as you were at

1:02:11

the top but with every game that passes if

1:02:13

Celtic and Rangers continue to win, they both win

1:02:16

again next week. Is it just

1:02:18

more advantage Celtic the way it goes just

1:02:20

with the way the league table is in

1:02:22

games running out? No, of course and every

1:02:24

passing, a way game if you like, a

1:02:26

way fixture because we always see those as

1:02:28

banana skins for either Celtic or Rangers. Then

1:02:30

of course at the favour Celtic, they're ticking

1:02:32

off the games one by one and

1:02:35

Rangers have to keep pace with them until the

1:02:37

meet at Celtic part. So it's a different challenge

1:02:39

for both next week because you've

1:02:41

got home expectation on your shoulders

1:02:44

and again at this time of the season, isn't

1:02:47

the same as home expectation

1:02:49

and say mid-September where you've got a

1:02:52

Kommars kind of harps coming at you.

1:02:54

It's the home expectation that you cannot slip

1:02:56

up so the players have to deal with

1:02:58

that threat. In my opinion, Andrew, it's quite

1:03:00

simple for Celtic. They've got two home games

1:03:03

coming up, win both of them, you'll

1:03:05

be crowned champions. It's as simple

1:03:07

as that but what

1:03:10

a well stressed here is it's two

1:03:12

difficult games because hearts have finished third,

1:03:14

rightly so and get good players and

1:03:16

then you've got Rangers. So as much

1:03:18

as it's easy to say on paper,

1:03:20

two home games, six points, wins you

1:03:22

the league, of course it will but

1:03:24

two difficult. The two most difficult you can

1:03:27

get really. That's that. Hearts have been there

1:03:29

one before, taking points off Celtic, beat the

1:03:31

MacKine Castle as well and you've got your

1:03:33

main competitors and Rangers. The two most difficult

1:03:36

games of the season are coming next couple

1:03:38

of weeks. 014

1:03:41

1951 1025 on the phone lines. First

1:03:43

up is Mark, who's a Celtic fan

1:03:45

in Hamilton. Mark, what did you make of that

1:03:47

performance today? Scrappy

1:03:52

again. I'm going to take, we're obviously taking a few

1:03:54

points and coming back, isn't it? Glasgow

1:03:57

again, but I want to speak about the

1:03:59

four guys at the moment. back again. I've

1:04:01

just all over the place. The flaky

1:04:03

floor. I was gonna say you and Hugh will get

1:04:05

on well I think. The flaky floor Mark. Yeah

1:04:09

the left side it might sort of set a half

1:04:11

in the left back and just no up here and

1:04:13

it's been like that all the season and

1:04:17

I don't even know and then the other thing

1:04:19

I'd like to talk about is. Well I'll take

1:04:21

that point first Mark because when you look at

1:04:23

Celtic's performance today they didn't give

1:04:25

up too many opportunities. Dundee did have smells

1:04:27

of pressure at times. There were bottles over

1:04:29

the top that maybe weren't dealt with but

1:04:32

it's not as if Joe Hart was having

1:04:34

to pull off the after save. I don't

1:04:36

mind that. Honestly everybody's

1:04:38

are entitled to their opinions. I

1:04:41

didn't think Celtic's back before were

1:04:43

bad today right. They lost a goal and

1:04:45

the goal was lost because of a centre

1:04:47

forward that was too deep and made the

1:04:49

wrong decision but apart from

1:04:51

that I think they predicted Joe

1:04:54

Hart. I don't think Joe Hart had saved after

1:04:56

save. Terrific. I'd say to Hugh and were having

1:04:58

a bit of fun. Where do you think the

1:05:00

goals come from because they were contributing nothing in

1:05:02

the final third Dundee for me. Yeah they had

1:05:04

a wee bit of pressure. So

1:05:06

as much as you can maybe

1:05:09

argue in days gone by yes

1:05:11

Celtic against Aberdeen three goals and

1:05:13

they looked a bit ropey. Goal

1:05:16

became, became. Today I didn't look at Celtic's

1:05:19

back four and think oh they

1:05:21

look really shaky. I thought Celtic's

1:05:23

back four were okay today. The goal came from

1:05:25

a bit of a freak moment really from Adam

1:05:27

Ida who just sort of sliced at the ball

1:05:29

and deflected past Joe Hart but do you think

1:05:32

that the back four were the main problem today

1:05:34

Mark? Listen

1:05:36

I don't know what Kim Gordon watches but I tell

1:05:38

you he's watching a different game for me. Well

1:05:42

tell me what they've done to give

1:05:45

away chances. Joe Hart was under pressure

1:05:47

today. It's time to

1:05:49

do it. There's not so much of a game away chances God in

1:05:51

me. The loom for guys that can

1:05:53

come out with a ball and play the ball. The loom for guys

1:05:55

that can head out of ball when it gets into the box. The

1:05:58

loom for two guys that could make it. They

1:06:00

couldn't put a left foot in front of either

1:06:02

of them. They're that bad. If

1:06:04

I had a meter Disney... They made a great...

1:06:08

I didn't say they're great football players. I'm

1:06:10

going to be game by game today. I

1:06:12

looked at Celtics back four today and

1:06:14

I didn't think they were terrible. I

1:06:17

thought if either Disney take a swing at that and put

1:06:20

the ball in the back, they're probably

1:06:22

leaving there with a clean sheet this afternoon. So

1:06:25

if you take that goal, which was a

1:06:27

freak goal because a ball headed in, why

1:06:30

is he even in there? I don't know. But he takes

1:06:32

a swing and ends up in the back and out. Take

1:06:34

that with a question. Did

1:06:36

Dundee really cause Celtic

1:06:38

that much problems? In the

1:06:40

remaining matches, I agree with Mark. In

1:06:42

the remaining matches, four to go now

1:06:44

for Celtic. The main area

1:06:46

of vulnerability will be at the

1:06:48

back for Celtic. They just...

1:06:52

They don't exude confidence. They

1:06:55

don't make the supporters feel a

1:06:57

sense of belief in them. And

1:07:00

they've got hearts in Rangers now. Shankland,

1:07:05

who's a particular thorn in their side. Now,

1:07:08

having said that, the same applied to Rangers

1:07:11

today. All across the back four, they

1:07:13

were highly suspect, which

1:07:15

only underlines my point that you're watching

1:07:18

two bang average teams contest

1:07:20

the title. What was your second point you

1:07:22

wanted to make, Mark? The

1:07:24

game management is unbelievable.

1:07:27

We're sitting there the day again in 90,

1:07:29

I think, 90, 192 minutes and we're

1:07:31

still trying to score a third goal. I don't know

1:07:34

what they talk about. Like, say,

1:07:36

at the break or even before the game starts, if

1:07:38

you're up 2-1, 3-2, what haven't you, baby? We're

1:07:42

not going to score an hour's goal. We're trying to see

1:07:44

the game. And they just constantly get out

1:07:46

the wings and pass the ball back into the box.

1:07:48

They don't be a reverent of their training, like, saying,

1:07:50

get back up the back of the game. Game

1:07:53

management is atrocious. There was that moment where, I think,

1:07:55

Lewis Palmer took a bit of a shot from the

1:07:57

edge of the box, where he probably was the wrong

1:07:59

decision. It's the main thing that Celtic just

1:08:01

did see the game out and they got the win.

1:08:03

I'm sitting here, Andrew, listening to this. I'm amazed at

1:08:05

what I'm listening to. Yeah, that's first

1:08:07

call from Mark. Celtic have won two,

1:08:10

one away from home. I've done deep with the

1:08:12

pressure on their shoulders from Rangers winning previously. Mark's

1:08:15

won complaining about the defence, which I totally

1:08:17

agree with Gorn Dale a bit. I don't

1:08:19

agree with Hugh one bit, about the shaky

1:08:21

back four, the flaky back four. I

1:08:24

look at a team who've conceded 27 goals this

1:08:26

season in the league. They've

1:08:28

had their injury problems, maybe

1:08:31

mismanagement, the transfer window, we lager, we all

1:08:33

can sign and the broken mic coming. They've

1:08:35

had a real finding skills, but skills has

1:08:37

found themselves now in the space that he's

1:08:39

a fashionable player just to criticise, just because

1:08:41

he's not a kind of victor on the

1:08:43

ball. And I think I would

1:08:46

agree with the Celtic fans with that. He's loose

1:08:48

in possession quite a lot of the time. You're

1:08:54

entitled to want better in that respect. But

1:08:56

what skills did today, I thought, was defend

1:08:58

his box. Well, and that's

1:09:01

what you need to do when you're away from

1:09:03

home as a Celtic back four player. I say

1:09:05

that repeatedly on the show. When

1:09:07

you are one now, you're going

1:09:09

to come under pressure and can Joe Hart

1:09:11

and the back four stand up. And barring

1:09:13

that Adam either swipe, they would be able

1:09:15

to walk away with their head held high.

1:09:17

So let's concentrate on what we've seen and

1:09:20

not, oh, can we do better in skills?

1:09:23

Well, maybe they can do better with skills, but they've

1:09:25

got skills just now, the Celtic fans

1:09:27

for the last four games. So get behind the

1:09:30

players rather than slaughter them. There was a lot

1:09:32

of people out there and including guys in here

1:09:34

as well, thought that today

1:09:37

either Celtic or Rangers would draw points. And

1:09:39

I can totally understand that point of view

1:09:41

because it was two difficult games. Now,

1:09:44

you can pick holes in both teams. Of course you

1:09:46

can. But we're now

1:09:48

at a situation where this

1:09:51

is all about running games. And

1:09:53

I thought that, as I said, Rangers

1:09:55

batter the way they did Paisley. It

1:09:58

was difficult. Should men were off? for

1:10:00

it, Deysters come in for a lot of stick,

1:10:02

he got his reward, he got his winner, well

1:10:04

done to the lad. I thought Celtic first half

1:10:06

today were very sharp, I thought

1:10:08

they looked good, everything about them, probably

1:10:11

should have went in more than one,

1:10:13

right? Dundee had a bit more possession

1:10:15

than second half, but I didn't look

1:10:17

at, the only thing I'll agree

1:10:19

with Mark here is, yeah, I think

1:10:21

sometimes, like Palmer went into the shot,

1:10:23

game management, get it back out, just

1:10:25

run it into the corner, see the

1:10:27

game out, but I keep getting back

1:10:30

to it and I says to Hugh,

1:10:32

where is your confidence at that? Because I

1:10:34

couldn't see Dundee scoring an equaliser, and

1:10:37

that's down to the fact that, I thought Celtic's

1:10:39

back four was okay. Well,

1:10:41

thank you to Mark on the line, Brian is a

1:10:43

Celtic fan in Moss Park, Brian, how did you view

1:10:45

it today? Hi, just a quick

1:10:47

little retort to the last comment, the last

1:10:49

guy, I see his point, this is old

1:10:52

Jackie Jack in Austria, against part of some, well,

1:10:54

great, a piranha, but my

1:10:57

main point to James Forest, I think

1:10:59

I'd call, hopefully you can, can we

1:11:01

call this a real, like six, seven

1:11:03

years ago, James Forest wanted to leave

1:11:05

Celtic because he felt his injuries,

1:11:07

but he wasn't contributing enough. He wanted

1:11:09

to have a chance to have a crash, not because

1:11:11

he wanted to leave Celtic, because of his points, and

1:11:13

he scored in, like the last God knows seven seasons,

1:11:16

he's just been at top, and like my friends who've

1:11:18

been totally building, he's been like, the

1:11:20

guy, two to 30 goals, unless that's right,

1:11:23

so, and I, I wouldn't lie to you,

1:11:26

me and Ali thought he should go on to sub, rather

1:11:28

than stop, but we were proved

1:11:30

wrong, and he's just been totally drunk, Celtic,

1:11:32

over the seasons, and he's not got

1:11:34

the care that he deserves, and he, as I said, he

1:11:36

wanted to leave Celtic because of the reason

1:11:39

I've quoted him. Yeah, I think

1:11:41

a lot of people probably thought

1:11:43

James Forest wasn't really gonna play much of a

1:11:45

part for the rest of this season, he looked

1:11:47

out the picture, he wasn't making the bench at

1:11:50

times, and all of a sudden, you know, he's

1:11:52

been spoken about in glowing terms by Brendan Rodgers,

1:11:54

he's in the starting line up today, scores two

1:11:56

crucial goals, and it now looks as if, I

1:11:58

mean, as he now, sort of, un-dropable

1:12:01

for the next game. Well, he's

1:12:03

certainly the guy in form. And

1:12:05

why would you leave him out

1:12:07

at this stage? You can call

1:12:09

it whatever you like, Indian summer,

1:12:12

re-emergence, regeneration, everything you like. He

1:12:14

looks as if he's really enjoying himself.

1:12:17

He has a real sense of purpose

1:12:19

about him. And he

1:12:21

took both his goals exceptionally well. And

1:12:24

I think, as a human

1:12:26

being, he's enjoying this belated attention

1:12:28

that has come his way with

1:12:30

people saying, look, we need James

1:12:32

Forrest, as opposed to, why have

1:12:34

we got James Forrest in the

1:12:36

team? And I think right now, that's

1:12:39

the reason why I certainly would not

1:12:42

contemplate leaving him out under any circumstances.

1:12:44

Right now, Hugh, you've got to say,

1:12:46

right? And it's very easy because you're

1:12:48

sitting here, he's been given an opportunity.

1:12:51

In my opinion, and

1:12:54

you look at the wingers that certainly

1:12:56

have got, I think James Forrest is better

1:12:58

than anyone. Yeah. Right? In my opinion. Brendan

1:13:00

Rodgers has said that himself, that he's the

1:13:02

best winger at the club. Now,

1:13:07

it's up to why Brendan

1:13:09

Rodgers hasn't played them in

1:13:11

recent games. That's up to him. Well, I mean,

1:13:14

the excuse he gave was that he doesn't think

1:13:16

that James Forrest can play with the intensity that

1:13:18

other wingers can play at. But when you look

1:13:20

at his performance today, does

1:13:22

that say differently? Nobody will tell me James Forrest

1:13:25

can't play with that because

1:13:27

you look at... Well, Brendan Rodgers was telling us

1:13:29

that. You look at Hugh's

1:13:31

favourite, Yang, and I still say, I think

1:13:33

we're too hard on him. His young boy,

1:13:36

he'll come into it, I think it's an

1:13:38

hour season or two. You look at Cootin'

1:13:40

today, right? Intensity, I didn't

1:13:42

see it. You look at Palmer when

1:13:44

he comes on. Intensity, didn't see it.

1:13:47

So James Forrest still has

1:13:49

a lot to offer sell to. And

1:13:51

he's starting to show that. James Forrest

1:13:53

will be a massive player for him

1:13:55

to run in, and he'll definitely surely

1:13:57

play next week, even if he's not

1:13:59

showing or can't show. the intensity of

1:14:01

whatever way Brendan Rodgers worded it. If

1:14:04

he can't show that, the fact that he

1:14:06

is contributing in terms of scoring goals and

1:14:08

having big moments in the limited time that

1:14:10

he's on the pitch, can that just weigh

1:14:12

it out, essentially? Yeah, well, I don't think

1:14:14

it's any coincidence, the

1:14:16

positions he finds himself in today, when he

1:14:19

scores his goals. He's game intelligence, his first

1:14:21

class. And that's what you get when you

1:14:23

get a 30-plus-year-old winger who's got the medal

1:14:25

collection and the experiences James Forrest has. He

1:14:27

knows when to come off the line and

1:14:29

come inside. He knows when to stay wide

1:14:32

and keep his movement straight, his work

1:14:34

rate. He'll never let Seeltik down in that

1:14:36

respect. And I will

1:14:38

agree with the guys, at this moment in time,

1:14:41

he does look your best bet. With Aysen Maeda

1:14:43

out injured, he is your best bet in the

1:14:45

wide areas. And he's every right in keeping his

1:14:47

place. I can't see how you believe him out.

1:14:49

If Maeda is fit to play against Harts, and

1:14:52

that is the expectation, I

1:14:54

would have Forrest one side Maeda

1:14:56

the other. And I'd still

1:14:58

go with Keogo because I still think he's

1:15:00

a better player than either. Brian, does James

1:15:02

Forrest now have to start Seeltik's remaining games

1:15:05

or certainly the next one anyway? As

1:15:07

I could tell, I thought he was a bit off to

1:15:09

the beans, but did he prove the wrong? One thing

1:15:11

I would say is, form his

1:15:14

temporary classes permit. He's

1:15:16

done it for so many years. I don't

1:15:19

want to say that. I've

1:15:21

always loved James. Plenty

1:15:25

of Seeltik fans feel that way today

1:15:28

when you look at the

1:15:30

way that Brendan Rodgers was doing during the week as

1:15:32

well. He was saying that James Forrest would have a

1:15:34

big contribution on that. Did he

1:15:36

see whether it's on or off the pitch towards

1:15:38

the end of the season? He was maybe not

1:15:40

giving it away whether he was going to start

1:15:42

or not. But having that experience, certainly off the

1:15:45

pitch will help. But on the pitch as well,

1:15:47

along with Callum McGregor, when you're in a title

1:15:49

running and players like that who have been there

1:15:51

and done it, can that be a big thing?

1:15:53

Well, of course it can. It's up

1:15:56

to players to grab their opportunity when they get

1:15:58

it. Now, we speak about young players. players grabbing

1:16:00

that opportunity when they get to say and

1:16:02

the side or players who've come in and

1:16:04

a transfer window grabber but also works

1:16:07

for players who've been at the club a long

1:16:09

time and found themselves at the pitcher. James Forrest

1:16:11

has now been given an opportunity by Brendan Rodgers

1:16:13

and he spoke him up perfectly well up to

1:16:16

James Forrest to go on the pitch and prove

1:16:18

him right and he's certainly done that in the

1:16:20

last couple of games and he will start against

1:16:22

off. I don't think off the pitch right and

1:16:25

I know that's so cliche with managers off the

1:16:27

pitch and whatever right I've heard that million times

1:16:29

James Forrest doesn't look, Markle known better than me,

1:16:31

James Forrest doesn't look that sort of character in

1:16:33

about a dress room and about players right. James

1:16:36

Forrest he's got people by his throat. I'll

1:16:38

show you. He'd be lucky if he talks

1:16:40

to him today. James Forrest is all about

1:16:42

producing on the pitch whether he comes from

1:16:44

the start like he showed today whether

1:16:47

he comes on like he showed against

1:16:49

arts in the semi final of the

1:16:51

Cup, sorry

1:16:53

Aberdeen, he's still got

1:16:56

a lot to offer and I keep

1:16:58

saying it stop writing experienced players off

1:17:00

because managers have picked this guy for

1:17:02

year in year out because his ability.

1:17:05

James Forrest hasn't lost all that ability

1:17:07

he showed that today. Whatever you

1:17:10

say about James Forrest one thing

1:17:12

is undeniable at the moment

1:17:14

he's the good luck charm. Well

1:17:17

thank you to Brian that is the view on

1:17:19

the Celtic game 2-1 winners over Dundee Rangers fans

1:17:21

we want to hear from you as well what

1:17:23

do you make of that victory over St. Mirren

1:17:25

give us a call 0-1-4-1 9-5-1 1-0-2-5 The

1:17:29

games are over, the talking begins

1:17:31

0-1-4-1 9-5-1 1-0-2-5 Slide

1:17:36

1, SuperScore was open line

1:17:39

It's a busy day in Scottish football a big

1:17:41

day for the title race but it's as you

1:17:43

were at the top Rangers 2-1 winners against

1:17:46

St. Mirren earlier on and then it

1:17:48

was a 2-1 win for Celtic against Dundee as

1:17:50

well get in touch 0-1-4-1 9-5-1 1-0-2-5

1:17:54

you can watch on the live stream as

1:17:57

well whether that's on Twitter or on YouTube

1:17:59

as well We'll hear from Andy

1:18:01

on the line in a second. But

1:18:03

let's hear from Philip Clement talking about

1:18:05

Rangers getting the three points today. To

1:18:07

do the right things, we did the

1:18:09

moment right things. We didn't do

1:18:11

the right things in the beginning of the game. Because

1:18:14

of that we get their pressure and they get belief

1:18:16

and hope after this

1:18:18

first 15 minutes. Then we

1:18:20

took control of the game and we were much better. Then

1:18:23

you're leading, then you get the goal against

1:18:25

that we need to avoid. So they

1:18:27

get belief again. In the second

1:18:29

half we

1:18:32

were better, creating more.

1:18:34

But Jack has been also really important in

1:18:37

the first half. So

1:18:40

at the end it's important to take the three points, to

1:18:42

go home and to

1:18:44

know that you have four finals to go in

1:18:46

the league and it will be game by game,

1:18:49

going full to get the three points. Also

1:18:51

happy with again how the

1:18:54

players came in, players who

1:18:56

are not starting to give the energy to the

1:18:58

team and to make a difference. I think Tom

1:19:00

Lawrence was really unlucky with

1:19:02

an amazing comeback of Gogic and all

1:19:04

the respect towards him also. How

1:19:07

much he kept believing to save this

1:19:09

ball on the goal line. So

1:19:12

if you scored there the third goal you have a

1:19:14

different end of the game. Now

1:19:16

there just there's some excitement

1:19:18

because every long ball there's

1:19:21

a duel and a fight for second ball and again

1:19:23

and again. I think you

1:19:25

guys love that. That

1:19:27

there's a lot of excitement until the end. In

1:19:30

that way Gogic helped you guys. Yeah

1:19:33

there was another big display from Jack Butland.

1:19:35

There were a couple of big saves from

1:19:37

him. There was the clearance off the line

1:19:39

at the other end for Alex Gogic as

1:19:41

well. Yeah, I'll be amazed

1:19:43

if Jack Butland doesn't win Rangers internal

1:19:45

play of the year and he proved

1:19:47

his worth today some fantastic saves in

1:19:50

the first half. And look for the comments

1:19:53

right and his assessment. I don't think he

1:19:55

can pick too many good things from his

1:19:57

team other than the character, the show to.

1:20:00

get the job done and

1:20:02

get the three points because that takes

1:20:04

a lot and he's right to highlight

1:20:06

Gogic. It was a tough game for

1:20:08

Rangers but the three points is not matters

1:20:11

and Philip come on just a bit say so. If you

1:20:13

summarise the day for the pair of them and

1:20:16

take Philip come on,

1:20:19

the performances don't matter, the

1:20:22

results do and that's just as well

1:20:24

because the performances by the pair of

1:20:26

them today were unimaginative

1:20:31

and mediocre. Andy, is a

1:20:33

Rangers fan up next in Finiston? Andy, what did

1:20:35

you make of that from Rangers today? I

1:20:38

guess you just know all my thunder there

1:20:40

I thought. Oh no, there you go. Tell

1:20:42

us. I'll tell you a few

1:20:44

points but the performance is nowhere near good

1:20:46

enough honestly. I was hoping for a good

1:20:48

one today and I think Jack Buttman

1:20:51

was the only man in the match because

1:20:53

if somebody said if he'd done especially the one the

1:20:55

boys or they see the boys, the

1:20:57

suburban boy going, how did he say that? But

1:21:00

I was really, really disappointed at the end of

1:21:02

the day. I just thought it started off slow

1:21:04

again, the day was score,

1:21:06

the defense, just I think can't

1:21:08

be all make it pass marks but some

1:21:11

of the passing and the concentration

1:21:13

today was just pathetic. Philip

1:21:15

come on said in that clip there that you

1:21:17

know there's four finals to go for Rangers. Does

1:21:20

that performance concern you going into those four big

1:21:22

games and then of course a Scottish Cup final

1:21:24

as well? I mean I

1:21:26

thought after we beat Hart, she's going to

1:21:28

turn the corner. I mean I thought today

1:21:31

trying to get at least three or four goals,

1:21:34

I know I might sound a bit silly but I'm going

1:21:36

to turn the corner now, I'll

1:21:38

get back on but the day again

1:21:41

I was so, like I said

1:21:44

I'll watch a ninja sometime in depression. They're

1:21:48

grinding out results, let's be honest about it. I

1:21:50

mean they haven't been grinding out results, that's

1:21:52

the first one in four. I didn't even think

1:21:54

they looked at Chardonn Grey against Hart's last week

1:21:56

in the same final but Cup games are

1:21:58

all about getting to and

1:22:00

you've got to congratulate them on that. They

1:22:03

don't look as sharp as what they should

1:22:05

be. They've got some good players in there.

1:22:07

He's chopped that defense a little bit. He's

1:22:10

left out one of the most experienced defender

1:22:12

from Ranger for a long time. The games

1:22:14

he's played, goals and all the big games.

1:22:16

And fans will probably look at

1:22:18

it and say, yeah, it's a right decision,

1:22:20

right? Okay, fine. But middle

1:22:22

of front, they don't

1:22:25

have that zip or sharpness. I think

1:22:28

you're looking for going into these

1:22:30

five cup finals that the

1:22:32

Rangers manager is talking about. Because

1:22:34

they're massive, massive games. But look,

1:22:38

they find a way to win. You

1:22:40

look at today's performance, not great. But then

1:22:42

the one thing they've got in their favor

1:22:44

is they've probably got the best goalkeeper in

1:22:46

the league. So when they

1:22:48

need a big save, he's a man that

1:22:50

produces it for them, keeps them in the

1:22:52

game at times. So that's a real plus.

1:22:55

But the good thing about them today was

1:22:57

they battled hard, they kept going, they waited

1:23:00

for a chance, and your man deserves, he

1:23:03

can see whatever he wanted, but it was 20 goals. And

1:23:06

people still criticized him. His overall play today

1:23:08

was terrible, I've got to say. But his

1:23:11

arrangers sent it forward. Is there to score

1:23:13

goals? Is there to make headlines? He achieved

1:23:15

that. Can you see there being a change

1:23:18

of personnel going forward? Andy, you're

1:23:20

obviously frustrated with some of the performances or do

1:23:22

you think it's maybe a change of attitude that's

1:23:24

needed or the guys that are starting, the ones

1:23:26

that you would start? Well, I

1:23:28

just can't understand why they seem to have to,

1:23:31

I mean, all over the roster, they need the D game, they

1:23:33

may want, but I just don't, that I

1:23:35

achieved the day, even the day, I'm going, what

1:23:38

he's played it here, we need to agree. I

1:23:41

just, you know, it's so annoying, and I couldn't give it

1:23:43

a go, and there's a worse terrible, but it's going like

1:23:45

a goal. But everything in

1:23:47

our service, but I just feel, you

1:23:50

know, you go, what he's playing here, especially

1:23:52

the back, the four

1:23:54

guys are back, again, the ball away, they're trying to

1:23:56

skip it, pass it, try to dribble the ball, and

1:23:58

so why are we doing that? start playing football Rangers

1:24:01

but they could not get in there, it doesn't

1:24:03

mean they're at all. Because that's it, no

1:24:05

footballer goes out to be intentionally slack Mark but

1:24:07

there will be other factors that mean Rangers aren't

1:24:09

playing at their flowing best but it's trying to

1:24:12

work out what they are whether it is

1:24:14

the pressure of the situation they're in or other

1:24:17

factors. Yeah pressure they're in, lots of

1:24:19

form for some, Philip Commonts made the

1:24:21

right decision in my opinion with Conor

1:24:23

Golden, he's done of the pressure's really

1:24:25

affecting him, I think that's just into

1:24:28

Lhasa form. Tavernier going

1:24:30

forward shows his worth yet again today,

1:24:32

that's why he's on the side, he

1:24:34

gets down in the byline a

1:24:36

terrific cross and it yields the

1:24:38

winning goal but defensively he

1:24:41

looks like the pressure's on his shoulders defensively and you

1:24:43

see that in the opening stages so you see the

1:24:45

best in the worst of James Tavernier at times today

1:24:48

and there's a few players in

1:24:50

between that as well, you know you look at

1:24:52

Lindstrom, is he performing at his best, is he

1:24:55

suffering a wee bit at Lhasa form because I

1:24:57

think Lindstrom's been decent, in

1:24:59

the last few games he's been quieter so

1:25:02

it's a combination of both and you don't

1:25:04

want it to drag on in the last

1:25:06

four games. The similarity in the performances of

1:25:08

Celtic and Rangers is quite remarkable today and

1:25:12

you know Andy committed

1:25:14

Rangers fans saying watching

1:25:17

Rangers was sometimes a hard watch for

1:25:19

him and Mark the first caller of

1:25:21

the Celtic fan who'd complained about everything

1:25:24

about Celtic today so the

1:25:26

supporters are restless,

1:25:30

four games to go and they

1:25:32

don't have implicit

1:25:34

belief in the teams that they

1:25:36

support. Andy does Filt come on have

1:25:38

a big decision to make it in the

1:25:41

centre of defence because Conor Goldson has been dropped for

1:25:43

the last couple of games, John

1:25:45

Suter maybe looked a bit shaky at handering

1:25:47

his hearts, Leon Balligan was at fault for

1:25:50

the goal at St Vernon's score today, how do you

1:25:52

see that unfolding sort of next week and beyond? I

1:25:56

mean Balligan is a great game against hearts and that's exactly

1:25:58

what he's doing today but they you watch

1:26:00

him today and you're going, no, I

1:26:02

mean, there's two or three times he gave

1:26:04

the ball away or tried it. So

1:26:07

it's a half month after the come on, he said,

1:26:09

you know, you're going to bring in. So,

1:26:13

you know, I mean, my head's buzzing, you know, I'm just

1:26:15

trying, what's he going to do? Is

1:26:17

he going to start the bad game today or

1:26:19

bring Golsan back into the niche? So it's going

1:26:21

to be a half decision for my mate. Yeah,

1:26:24

because he was speaking in glowing terms, I don't know whether

1:26:26

it was last week or the week before about the options,

1:26:28

he now has it sent her back with Ben Davies back

1:26:30

fit and he's now got four central defenders that he feels

1:26:32

he can rely on. But then

1:26:34

since then, Connor Golsan's been dropped in

1:26:37

mistakes from the two that played today,

1:26:39

certainly, you know, Leon Balligan today and,

1:26:41

you know, how do

1:26:43

you see Philip Golan dealing with it?

1:26:45

If it was me, I would look

1:26:48

at the best partnership that,

1:26:51

you know, that going forward,

1:26:53

who is going to be the best two

1:26:55

in that sense of defense. If you look

1:26:57

at Celtic, when Celtic were conceding a lot

1:26:59

of goals, everybody was seeing skills in Karavac

1:27:01

as their best two centre backs. I

1:27:04

keep getting back to the facts

1:27:06

and the stats everybody now uses

1:27:08

in football. When Rangers

1:27:10

were at their best defensively, their best

1:27:13

two centre backs was Golsan and Balligan.

1:27:15

It's a fact here, you know, they get

1:27:17

compliments every time they went on the road,

1:27:20

they were very hard to break down, they

1:27:22

were hard to beat, hard to

1:27:24

concede. Don't get me wrong,

1:27:26

I totally take on board. Golsan has

1:27:28

lost a bit of that form, looks

1:27:31

a bit shaky, but sometimes I look

1:27:33

at Souter, looks shaky. Sometimes I look

1:27:35

at Balligan today, he's defending first and

1:27:37

men's goal was shaky. So

1:27:41

I think you've got to get the right balance.

1:27:44

Now whether he believes that Golsan can rekindle

1:27:46

that form, because Golsan's a good player and

1:27:48

a good defender, let's not get kitted here.

1:27:50

A lot of people write him off because

1:27:52

he's been dropped again, it's like the James

1:27:54

Forrest scenario, very quick in judging. I

1:27:57

would look at where I think my best

1:27:59

two centre back peering as and

1:28:01

I keep getting back to it. When Rangers were

1:28:04

very defensively solid it

1:28:06

was Golsan and Balligan. So Rangers are shaky and

1:28:08

Celtic are flaky. Yeah, I can

1:28:11

be here. That's a new one for you.

1:28:13

Well thank you to Andy. I think we

1:28:15

can hear a bit from Brendan Rodgers first

1:28:17

of all on Celtic's performance today. The

1:28:20

pitch was difficult, it was bumpy and so it was always

1:28:22

going to be a challenge or

1:28:25

play fast, flowing football.

1:28:27

But I think

1:28:30

at this stage of the season it is about getting

1:28:32

the results. You see here Dundee have a

1:28:34

fantastic season, made it

1:28:36

really difficult for teams. So yeah,

1:28:38

we've got ourselves into a really good position in the game at 2-0.

1:28:40

The own goal

1:28:43

gives him a little bit of a dip at the end, the

1:28:45

last 15 minutes. But

1:28:48

what was pleasing seen the game through and

1:28:50

we picked up a vital three points. Michael

1:28:53

is a Celtic fan in Erskine. Michael, what

1:28:55

did you take away from that performance and

1:28:57

result today? Well,

1:29:00

with the result, that's the main thing. Performance

1:29:03

is no good. I

1:29:07

think if you remember, I think

1:29:09

I was one of the first ones on to

1:29:12

say should Brendan Rodgers apologise to Celtic

1:29:14

fans right at the start? And

1:29:17

I said they should. So

1:29:20

on that note, you know I'm not a big Brendan

1:29:22

Rodgers fan on his return.

1:29:25

I think we're just going backwards. I

1:29:28

think we did a couple

1:29:30

of seasons under Ansch where

1:29:32

we were playing some attacking,

1:29:34

one-touch football and just really

1:29:36

good football. So my

1:29:39

main question is, on

1:29:42

this current squad this season, there's

1:29:44

a lot of kids that idolise football players.

1:29:47

Who do the kids idolise in the Celtic team right

1:29:50

now? Is there one

1:29:52

player that you think the kids want to be

1:29:54

or what they play like? I

1:29:56

just want to know your opinion on that. It's

1:29:58

not really a priority. for Brendan Rodgers

1:30:01

I'd have to say but you know

1:30:04

my grandkids for example Rio

1:30:07

Hatati is Bear

1:30:09

Idol, Kyogo

1:30:12

because they're goal scorers and kids like goal scorers

1:30:15

but you Michael

1:30:17

are one of that group who

1:30:20

cannot forgive Brendan Rodgers because he

1:30:22

left while the season was still

1:30:24

in play I thought

1:30:26

it was harsh at the time I thought has come back

1:30:28

to Celtic the the behavior of some

1:30:31

supporters was deeply questionable where

1:30:33

Brendan Rodgers was concerned and

1:30:36

I remain of that opinion if Brendan

1:30:38

Rodgers wins the title and it's going

1:30:40

to be won by the team that

1:30:42

makes fewest mistakes then

1:30:45

is he not entitled to

1:30:47

your thanks for bringing

1:30:50

the title to Celtic well

1:30:54

you probably have to say yes we

1:30:57

like the title right but the way

1:30:59

we are playing football with the now we

1:31:01

are just he's took his backwards with

1:31:05

a I've been a Celtic fan for

1:31:07

a number of years now I'm gonna tell who old

1:31:09

I am but the

1:31:12

way we're playing football now you're thinking

1:31:14

how are we still in a title race we

1:31:16

should have had this leak wrapped up by now

1:31:19

but we've let Rangers back into it and

1:31:22

to be fair they've not been playing the

1:31:24

best either so we're away in

1:31:27

a sense Rangers let Celtic back into

1:31:29

it by losing it then wall drawing

1:31:31

it Dundee losing to mother

1:31:33

world drawing with Celtic so

1:31:36

it's going to be won by the team

1:31:39

that makes fewest mistakes it's

1:31:42

remarkable negativity here we

1:31:44

are watching a title race that everybody moans of it

1:31:46

that we want a title race by this

1:31:49

time last year wrapped up nothing to

1:31:51

play for boring yeah all we

1:31:53

hear is is bang average sides The

1:31:55

Celtic fans not happy Brendan Rodgers Taking

1:31:57

them backwards, Rangers Fans Rangers are a.

1:32:00

Watch. Where. The metal

1:32:02

they are title race as any. Pause

1:32:04

it as a visit to still think

1:32:06

The Fonz Edelweiss. Pro. Every one

1:32:08

of those players. Depends. What position

1:32:10

of get a forward july dice to you'll

1:32:12

go as you mentioned to talk to understand

1:32:15

1:32:23

you. What? What what point do you

1:32:26

mean that I've seen only thing I think won't

1:32:28

let make a comeback. I'm. Rob

1:32:30

idling me up but eyes and ah,

1:32:32

a play or. Give orders that to

1:32:42

his job what you mean You have to come on

1:32:44

as his job He started today in school to goof

1:32:49

made the playoffs we're we're replay of right?

1:32:51

No, Problem that a group

1:32:53

with a policy. That a group of policy

1:32:55

1:32:57

a disaster. That's why the head of
