00:00All right?
00:09Mm-hmm.
00:30Welcome back to a very sunny Celtic park.
00:35It's Celtic 4, Kilmarnock 1 in that first half.
00:38An excellent showing of attacking football from Celtic.
00:43Rio Hitate with a double.
00:44Dyson Maeda and Cameron Carter-Vickers with a thunderbolt.
00:49That has got Celtic into a very, very comfortable position.
00:53And Danny Armstrong as well for Kilmarnock.
00:56He replied for the team from Ayrshire.
01:00But it's been all about Celtic in that first half.
01:03As I'm delighted to see, I'm joined by Simon Donnelly.
01:06Simon, the time to digest it all.
01:09But that was a terrific watch in the first half.
01:11And the hope is that Celtic just continue this on in the second half.
01:15Yeah, well, you mentioned it in the first half.
01:18After scoring three against Hearts recently.
01:21Second half was a wee bit of an on-event.
01:23So, as a spectacle, we hope the team come back out here.
01:27I talked about the players on the bench.
01:30Whether the manager decides to change it.
01:32Run the bit of the hour mark.
01:33But the fans are enjoying that first half.
01:36And they'll be looking for more entertainment in the second half.
01:39And the way the team have performed, you know,
01:41it wouldn't be a surprise if they get another couple of goals.
01:44Well, I mentioned that this is Celtic's 50th game of the season.
01:49Before today, they had won 35 of the 49 games in which they've played in all competitions this season.
01:57Scoring 138 goals.
02:00That's now 142.
02:01To turn that into a little bit of context, Simon,
02:04a couple of seasons ago, Celtic,
02:06you know, they clinched the treble under Ange Foster-Coglu.
02:08They scored 147 goals that year.
02:12Celtic are five off the team that was so swashbuckling in their attacking style.
02:18It just shows that they've been very similar in their goal-scoring form this season
02:24under Brendan Rodgers,
02:26as we look to hopefully end this season with another domestic treble.
02:31Yeah, exactly that.
02:32I mean, just as impressive.
02:35The goals have come from everywhere this season.
02:36And particularly midfield to front,
02:39if you look at the figures of assists and goals
02:43throughout that midfield to front,
02:45it's been phenomenal.
02:46And more often than not, they've entertained us,
02:49they've scored goals.
02:50It's been exciting to watch.
02:53And as I say, a game like last week keeps in now and again,
02:56which always happens in football.
02:57And, you know, I think the players might have took up on themselves as well
03:01a little backlash.
03:03You need to take a step back.
03:04We're on the verge of a treble here,
03:05with a potential treble this season again.
03:08So I think they might have took it to heart.
03:10And that certainly looked like it in the first half,
03:12the way they performed.
03:14Well, Celtic head back out onto the pitch.
03:16I've just noticed there's one change for Kilmarnock.
03:20Robbie Dees, a former Celtic youth player,
03:23is on for Kilmarnock.
03:24We'll get confirmation as for who.
03:28I suspect that may not be the only change for Kilmarnock.
03:31I think Derek McInnes may have rang some changes,
03:34but we will get confirmation.
03:37It does seem like Robbie Dees is one for now.
03:40They'll need a reaction.
03:43They have a very poor record on the road in the last ten games on the road.
03:48They've lost eight, Simon.
03:50That's going to be, you know, it's going to be nine of 11 now
03:53if Celtic can get over the line.
03:55Surely they will with a 4-1 lead.
03:57But really desperate, desperate time for Kilmarnock.
04:00And that first 25 minutes, they look like they weren't even there.
04:04Yeah, they were blown away.
04:05The quality of goals as well,
04:07the quality of Celtic's play, they were blown away.
04:09And it's a difficult thing.
04:10I've been here with Unfermline on the wrong end of a heavy defeat.
04:13It's not easy.
04:14But they've got 45 minutes to negotiate here.
04:16Try and keep Celtic out.
04:20Adelmeda.
04:22First touch of the second half.
04:23Can Celtic get a quick start in the second half?
04:27Here's Maeda.
04:30Looks to play the ball for Hattate.
04:38Looks like Marley Watkins is on as well.
04:40That's another change for Kilmarnock.
04:44Surely Bobby Wales has come off.
04:57And that is Bobby Wales and Danny Armstrong, the goal scorer, that makes way for Robbie Dees and Marley Watkins.
05:10So two changes.
05:11Simon, strange that Danny Armstrong's been off here when they got the goal.
05:15Yeah, but the cross comes short.
05:19Interesting statistic there was they've managed to score without having a touch inside Celtic's box.
05:25Not a single touch in the Celtic box.
05:27Yeah, I think maybe just looking to re-energise it.
05:31Derek, try and get a couple of fresh bodies on the pitch.
05:36Yeah, that flicks it.
05:36One of them's going to come off, as you say, Simon.
05:40One of them, he's taking the ball in well this afternoon.
05:46Yeah, they've played it in round about his feet.
05:48If he's not going to flick it onto a player, make sure you hold it in and allow support up.
05:52But he's trying, a odd little flick.
05:55I just feel one of them, at one point, hopefully will fall the way of a Celtic player.
06:00Neal's Rio Hattate.
06:03Neal's it to the final goal scorer, Cameron Carter-Vickers.
06:07I feel we might be seeing that goal again before the season's out.
06:11Wonderful goal.
06:16Cut ball through.
06:17Can made a get there.
06:19He does.
06:20And he goes for a goal kick.
06:24I think Ohana just made himself big enough.
06:27Yeah, sir.
06:29As I said in that first half, it's a familiar run.
06:31He loves to make it, and it's one of those ones.
06:34He's testing that back line constantly.
06:37The full back, he's up against.
06:40Just takes off.
06:41Known that the ball's coming, and he won't give it up.
06:43That one just ran a little bit too heavy.
06:46No win today puts Celtic 16 points clear, with five games remaining.
06:56Permutations for the week to be done.
07:02This weekend would be a Rangers defeat at Petaudry tomorrow.
07:07We'd see Celtic crown champions.
07:10Anything else it carries on through.
07:12Heavy challenge from Watson, former Kilmarn McMahon Taylor, but he's going to throw in.
07:21So, yep, that's the permutations.
07:25A draw for Rangers at Aberdeen means goal difference would still be in play,
07:30so it would not be confirmed until after the split, at least.
07:42Tate looks for the only ball for Forrest.
07:50Here's Murray.
07:52He's got Johnson running back.
07:54He goes for Celtic ball.
08:07Son of Salo.
08:11Claps the ball on.
08:12Here's Ida.
08:13Is he going to get there?
08:16He just does enough for Khamana to take him away, but that's great.
08:20Tracking back from Ida, and it's quite inexplicably given as a free kick to Kilmarnock.
08:25Brendan Rodgers can't believe it.
08:27We can't believe it.
08:29That really was a soft foul if it was one time.
08:32It's not a foul.
08:33It's not a foul.
08:35He gets his body in.
08:36He reads where the lines is going.
08:41It's not a free kick.
08:43The manager not happy.
08:48Kilmarnock have the free kick.
08:50But that was a poor reward for Adelmeda given the hard work he threw it in to get his body back in position.
09:00Donnelly clips the ball in.
09:03Kampo-Vickels head's on.
09:04Can't Forrest deny the corner kick.
09:08Johnson goes down.
09:09Celtic can have the free kick.
09:11Looks like Kilmarnock will try and get a bit tighter.
09:21They had a little bit of success in that game at rugby park earlier in the season.
09:25Man-marking Celtic out the game a little bit.
09:28No success this afternoon of such.
09:34Scales.
09:48To Maeda.
09:50Nails dies in Maeda.
09:51Into the box now.
09:53Clips it in.
09:55And that one just looked like it.
09:58Went out of play.
09:59Or was it an offside in there?
10:01Not sure if it was offside.
10:02I think it went.
10:04He just has a lot of time and space here waiting.
10:09And I think it goes behind with the cross there.
10:11Ball does seem to go out.
10:13It had Tati behind for the cutback but I don't think he spotted him.
10:21Denied his 32nd goal of the season.
10:25With that Vartrek in the first half.
10:28I'm sure he'll be back for more.
10:30Clips in Maeda.
10:35Mines.
10:36Here's Molly Watkins.
10:38Closed down by Scales.
10:41Taylor has to head on.
10:44Donnelly.
10:44Into the box.
10:45Come on look.
10:46Are in the Celtic box.
10:48There's a free kick.
10:50For Celtic.
10:52Donnelly can't quite believe it.
10:59I think it was a foul.
11:02Just a little bit.
11:03Yeah.
11:05No need for it as well because he potentially wins a corner.
11:07If he doesn't foul skills there.
11:11Carter Vickers now.
11:13On the ball.
11:21Off the ball.
11:22Mountain Farida but goes all the way through to O'Hara.
11:27First lead goal of the season for him.
11:31After he netted in the semi-final.
11:34Against Aberdeen.
11:35That will be a goal he will remember for a long time.
11:41I think we all will.
11:42A fantastic goal.
11:43I know he's got to go at Ibrox.
11:54A winner at Ibrox.
11:56But in terms of technique.
11:58That may be his best ever.
11:59Yeah.
12:00Real career movie.
12:01I think Kieran Tierney had a similar streak against.
12:04Was that come on?
12:05Yeah.
12:06So what it was.
12:08Kieran Tierney.
12:10He's wearing the captain's armband that night.
12:13Wonder goal.
12:14And on that night.
12:21The man on the bench.
12:22Anthony Ralston scored his first ever Celtic goal.
12:25Against Kilmarnock.
12:26Same night as Kieran Tierney's goal.
12:28He's got to go.
12:38Itate.
12:39Under pressure.
12:40Does ever so well.
12:42Goes under the challenge.
12:43Surely a foul.
12:44Here's Brad Lyons.
12:45Shaped up for the shot.
12:47He's all well over the bar.
12:49From the stand-down Kilmarnock captain.
12:58Johnston.
13:09Carter Vickers.
13:11Taylor as an option.
13:13Out to Scales.
13:23McGregor.
13:24James Forrest.
13:26Taylor now.
13:27Celtic want to get moving.
13:30Maeda.
13:33Forrest.
13:35Celtic move the ball.
13:37And there's Carter Vickers with a bit of space.
13:40Crown to Elanore shoot.
13:42Itate.
13:46McGregor.
13:48Just behind Taylor and he has to check back.
13:57Johnston.
13:59That's Engels I should say.
14:00Here is.
14:02Johnston.
14:07Taylor.
14:09Just patient build up here Celtic.
14:1188% possession in that first half.
14:14More of the same.
14:14In this second half.
14:19In this second half.
14:26Johnston.
14:29Forrest.
14:30Goes back to the Celtic defender.
14:33Carter Vickers.
14:34Good one too.
14:36From Hitate.
14:37McGregor.
14:38Gets the challenges.
14:41Engels.
14:43For Taylor.
14:47Engels.
14:48Looks to get the ball.
14:49Into the box.
14:49It's a good delivery.
14:50But no takers.
14:55Yeah.
14:55Decent play in the build up there.
14:57Tight control from.
14:59Callum McGregor.
15:00Bouncing it off Hitate.
15:03Across from Engels there.
15:04Just.
15:05Into an area.
15:07Unfortunately.
15:08No Celtic player there.
15:12Now Callum McGregor.
15:14He's on.
15:14Nine goals for.
15:16The season.
15:17Rio Hitate.
15:18On ten.
15:18Erna Engels.
15:19On ten as well.
15:21That's a good return.
15:22That's 30 odd goals.
15:23A battle in there.
15:24For goals.
15:25Midfield.
15:26Midfield yeah.
15:29Hitate.
15:29Clips the ball.
15:31Goes all the way through.
15:32To Ohara.
15:33All my.
15:48Does go well there.
15:49Some 60 goals now.
15:52For Celtic.
15:55Walking the numbers down.
15:57Terrific goal return.
15:59This season.
16:01Brilliant from Hitate there.
16:02Great improvisation.
16:04Yeah.
16:04Lovely control.
16:05Lovely touch.
16:06Awareness.
16:09Forest.
16:11Great feet.
16:12From the Celtic Icon.
16:15From the Celtic Icon.
16:29Taylor.
16:30Did well this afternoon.
16:32Lovely moment.
16:33Prior to kick off.
16:35Walking out with his baby daughter.
16:38Newborn.
16:38Maida puts the pressure on.
16:48Well dealt with by Lewis Mayo.
16:55Carter Vickers goes back to his goalkeeper.
16:58San Asalo.
16:58This Celtic possession.
17:04It's.
17:06Quite incredible.
17:08Average position in Simon.
17:10Of these players.
17:11They're all at the higher end of the pitch.
17:13Even the central defenders.
17:14Yeah.
17:15I think the position of the.
17:16Cobarnock team though.
17:18Is just to.
17:19Try and see this out.
17:20With no more damage.
17:22I think that will be the.
17:24Message coming out in the second half.
17:26Try and keep it to this.
17:27Desilter to go and try and penetrate that again.
17:33Here's Hitate.
17:34He's been sublime.
17:35Two goals this afternoon.
17:41Taylor.
17:42There he is.
17:43Hitate.
17:49Taylor.
17:51Obviously a touch in the middle of the park.
17:55Former Kilmarnock man.
17:57Scales.
18:06For McGregor.
18:08Good football.
18:09Celtic.
18:10Quacking it up.
18:13Taylor.
18:14Clips the ball.
18:16He's got Maeda there.
18:17Shoots for a handball.
18:19But nothing given for now.
18:22Good football from Celtic.
18:24Brilliant football.
18:25Here's Hida.
18:26Here's Hida.
18:26Off the chance.
18:27Can he?
18:27Get it under control.
18:29He doesn't.
18:32Almost an hour on the clock.
18:33It's still Celtic forward.
18:35Kilmarnock one.
18:36Good football from Celtic again.
18:37Yeah.
18:37Really nice build up play.
18:39Cross tag pass.
18:41From Maeda.
18:42And Taylor.
18:43And Tati around the face.
18:44Here comes the subs that we spoke about on the other.
18:49An hour gone.
18:50James Forrest will have to wait another game for a goal.
18:55To continue his scoring streak.
18:57He comes off.
19:00Nicholas Kuhn comes on.
19:02Greg Taylor also comes off.
19:04Jeffrey Schlopp replaces him.
19:06Shorter as well on the pitch.
19:13So Adam Eder makes way.
19:15Three changes.
19:16And these are the players that haven't started this afternoon, Simon.
19:21So they'll be looking for to give the manager a reaction like the players have done before them.
19:27Yeah, definitely.
19:29Definitely.
19:30We spoke about it next week.
19:31Semi-final.
19:32All these players want to be in the starting eleven.
19:35Positions are up for grabs.
19:39Nicholas Kuhn.
19:4018 goals for the season.
19:41Jota's got four since he came back.
19:44But I think for Nicholas Kuhn it's only three since the first of January.
19:48So he'll be wanting to put things right in that department.
19:53Hasn't scored since the Bayern Munich game in the Allianz Arena.
19:58That heartbreaking end to the Champions League campaign.
20:02But he'll be looking to silence a few critics who have perhaps said that he was just having a bit of a gold patch from the start of the season.
20:12Yeah, he's maybe not hit the heights of earlier in the season.
20:17But the heights were fantastic.
20:19But he had a couple of assists against Harts recently.
20:21Yeah, here he is.
20:22Nicholas Kuhn.
20:23He does well.
20:24That's more like it.
20:25Nicholas Kuhn.
20:27Cuts in.
20:27Here's Kuhn.
20:28Goes for the shot.
20:29And that should go for a corner.
20:31Really positive from the German.
20:33Yeah, lovely play.
20:34Tight on the byline there.
20:36Lovely little piece of skill.
20:37Just to lift it over the defender.
20:40Trying to get the shot away.
20:42But positive play.
20:45Engel stands over this one.
20:46Chelsea will take the side to go short.
20:51Off the end.
20:53Not much success from their corner kicks recently.
20:58Fifth corner of the game.
20:59Belgian stands over it.
21:03Ball comes in.
21:04Good delivery.
21:05Looking for the head of Liam Scales.
21:07But John Beaton blows for a foul on Joe Wright.
21:11See this one again, Simon.
21:18Yeah, flicked into the near post area.
21:20Skills claims.
21:22Wright manages to get the header away.
21:24But yeah, there's positions up for grabs next week.
21:31So the boys that have come on here half an hour to go.
21:33They all want to be impressed.
21:35Catch the eye of the manager.
21:37Well, the manager spoke about players being too comfortable.
21:41I suppose, you know, making the changes.
21:44And those players having a positive impact.
21:46That will eradicate comfortability.
21:47Because those players might think that I might not start next week.
21:51Well, good for me.
21:52If I was one of those players, it would for me.
21:55I'm sitting there watching 4-1 in the first half.
21:58Work out there.
21:59Show that you're up to speed.
22:00Ready for selection next week.
22:06Here's Alisson Johnson.
22:09Ingles did make a run.
22:11See if they aim for the patient boulder.
22:18Carter Vickers.
22:22He's back to his American defender.
22:32McGregor.
22:37Carter Vickers powers forward.
22:40Coon.
22:41Challenged off the ball, but play on.
22:47Skills.
22:48To Jota.
22:53Ingles.
22:54Can he get another bite at the cherry?
22:56Maeda looks to close down, but it's cleared the way.
23:02And some holding from scales there.
23:05John Beaton gives the foul.
23:06To the Coon Marnock, the free kick.
23:08He's going around Celtic Park over that one, and he's played for that one, I think, Simon.
23:16This is experience, let's say.
23:20Any contact goes to ground.
23:22And free kick four, come on, look.
23:34This will get them up the pitch of it.
23:39Still registering only 13% possession.
23:45Jota.
23:46Lovely footwork from the Portuguese.
23:48And that should be a free kick.
24:02Sinisago.
24:07Carter Vickers finds Maeda.
24:10Johnson about what to do.
24:14Right, heads on.
24:15Hawkins shows for the handball from the Celtic players.
24:23Should be through to Sinisago.
24:28A big game next week for the young Finnish goalkeeper.
24:32Should he start?
24:33Casper Schmeichel is in training, but there's no time scale as of yet.
24:40Manager did say five to six weeks a couple of weeks ago, so...
24:45Still will be a bit away, I think.
24:48Scales looks like a runner-shot.
24:51Well cut out by Lewis Mayo.
24:56Carter Vickers.
24:57Nice to deny David Watson there.
25:02Celtic throw, 65 minutes on the clock.
25:06Celtic four, commandment one, all the goals in the first half.
25:09And Hitate's pass is loose.
25:19It was for a commandment throw.
25:23Yeah, he's had a good afternoon.
25:24I think that's the first loose pass he's made.
25:28It's been fantastic this afternoon again, real.
25:30Slowing the game down, commandment, they know.
25:38They just don't want this getting out of control.
25:40They have been better in this second half.
25:43I have to say, having Marley Watkins as the focal point has helped them somewhat.
25:48Long throw comes in, headed on.
25:58Big opportunity for Fraser Murray.
26:00He's been in the goals recently, just couldn't get his head over it.
26:03Yeah, it was a chance.
26:05It was a chance.
26:06I think it was Watkins with a knock on.
26:09Just couldn't get his hip over it.
26:11Just need it.
26:12Downwards.
26:14Slop.
26:15Out to scales over the halfway line.
26:17Front of the dugout.
26:18Carter Vickers for Slop.
26:31Engels.
26:33Jota wants to make the run, but Engels comes back to find his captain.
26:38Here's Hattati, but space round him.
26:40Slop.
26:42Pass is loose from Hattati and Kormarnak are in possession again.
26:45Can Celtic get the ball back here without fouling.
26:47Watkins seems to power his way through.
26:51Carter Vickers shows good defending there.
26:56Yeah, lovely.
26:58Sanisalo.
26:59Goes down.
27:01Overton of pace from cattle vickers there.
27:04No, wait challenge it was from Watkins.
27:07Cool play from the goalkeeper.
27:08No, I'm holding up.
27:11New Jota now, can Celtic.
27:14VASHING off a chance.
27:21Johnston.
27:23Mayda, flex it on.
27:25Engels now.
27:26About space.
27:27Goes down.
27:28Celtic have a free check in a very promising position.
27:32there's a lovely touch from Mayada
27:36I don't know if Engels is trying to get out of his feet
27:40to put it back into his path
27:42but he's brought down, this is a dangerous situation here
27:46Engels and Kuhn over the ball
27:47Kieran O'Hara will sort his wall out
27:52but this is, as you've seen in the half time
27:55VT Shunsky Nakamura territory
27:58what you do to have a guy of his quality
28:02standing over a free kick from here
28:04but good opportunity, good distance as well
28:08for Kuhn and Engels
28:10it's Arna Engels
28:16clips the wall and goes for
28:18corner kick
28:22good technique, Engels, we see it from corners
28:25I just feel that area of the pitch
28:27maybe Kuhn favours Kuhn on the left foot possibly
28:29trying to catch the keeper out maybe
28:31Celtic go short, here's Jota
28:35nice, good play from Celtic
28:39Kuhn goes down
28:40slight shouts for a penalty
28:43Kuhn certainly protesting
28:45play on
28:50nothing in it
28:51Johnston, can Celtic, get a fifth
28:58drop under pressure from Lyons
29:18loses possession, wins a ball back
29:20but Kilmarnock
29:21left it forward
29:23McGregor
29:31McGregor
29:3120 minutes left in this one
29:44that's a loose pass again from Celtic
29:57just a little bit of slackness coming in
29:59it's well defended by
30:02William Scales
30:04here's Jota now
30:05Celtic have the chance to counter
30:07to go back to Jeffrey Schwab
30:13yeah this half's taken the pattern of maybe what we expected in that first half
30:23Kilmarnock just trying to frustrate
30:24so they haven't quite created the opportunities yet in this second half
30:30McGregor
30:35Schlapp
30:41for Liam Scales
30:43here's Jota
30:47step overs, ball comes into
30:49the box
30:50and that will go for another Celtic corner
30:54for Jota
31:03and goes
31:03for Jota
31:07and goes
31:09that was Nikosko now
31:18Stuart Finlay
31:21with him
31:22to go back to the captain Callum McGregor
31:26come on not done so well pushing Celtic away from promising positions here's Coon
31:37angles goes down again under the challenge free kick for Celtic this was maybe not
31:47probably not in between not far enough to be honest for Nakamura but yeah
31:54Commander have worked really hard this half I've got to give them a bit of credit
31:57it could be easy to come out 4-1 down and just always chuck it but they've worked hard
32:02to try and keep the score the same as it is
32:07skills for Jota
32:12just trying to find us up again on that first half
32:22the goal of the afternoon no doubt
32:37Johnston
32:49Angus
32:55real skills
32:59it's all very much in front of come on look at the minute but just hoping for
33:03that opening
33:07Celtic dominating possession
33:14I'm not really interested in getting the goal it's attack versus defense really yeah yeah
33:19yeah exactly that exactly that and the little one twos and
33:23penetrating runs in that first half not quite happening as I said maybe have to give
33:27come on all my credit the shape and the work rate
33:31I have to answer to tell you
33:34and on Jota that and Maeda putting the pressure on here
33:35and it will go all the way through for
33:38Clear over the halfway line. Good touch from Carter Vickers.
33:50Celtics still have two substitutions to make, so interesting if Brendan Rodgers looks to his bench once more.
33:58The likes of Luke McGowan and Paolo Bernardo on there as well.
34:03Anthony Ralfston, Austin Trusty also.
34:08Good ball from Engels, which is well covered by Luis Mayo.
34:15Hard-working full-back, that young man.
34:18Yeah, he's got back in well there.
34:20Engels just trying to thread it inside him for Xhota.
34:24Now Alistair Johnston makes way for Anthony Ralfston.
34:33He's got the goal, one of these, one of the goals on the opening day of the season, in the 4-0 victory.
34:40It's his only goal this season. Features heavily for Scotland under Steve Clarke.
34:52Good 15 minutes or so for Anthony Ralfston to show what he can do.
35:01Still waiting on a shot and target in this first half. Engels brings the ball in.
35:07Goes all the way through, here's a chance for Hitate, goes back to his captain.
35:17Calum McGregor, Jota, Hitate opens up.
35:26Ralfston, good delivery. And Alhara had to deal with it. Engels still keeps the ball alive.
35:32It's off the crossbar. On the angles, denied by the woodwork.
35:37And it's still alive for Celtic.
35:40Yeah, he's frustrated, it's a lovely little clip.
35:43Here he is, the Belgian. Is he going to go again? On the angles.
35:48And that one is...
35:51Not so close.
35:52...about wild. But this was a fantastic effort from the Belgian.
35:55Yeah, he just spots the keeper's off his line.
35:58You can see the frustration there. He thinks he's scored.
36:01That's over the keeper and the defender.
36:03And it just hits the crossbar.
36:06On the descent. Frustration from the young man there.
36:10Well, Fraser Murray makes way.
36:13He's been in the goals recently, but not to be this afternoon for him.
36:20Mattie Kennedy, on the looks of it, comes on.
36:35Don't foul, Marley Watkins on Liam Scales.
36:39Valston, Arthur Vickers, Scales, the central defensive partner, defenders get a lot of
37:08the touches of the ball in the modern game, Carter Vickers, Valston, he's having to go back
37:21the way to Scotland International, Scales, for Hitate, that's a good ball, can Maeda catch
37:35this, he surely can, he does, Jota, into the box now, Jota, looks to get onto the right
37:46foot, shot's blocked, you have to keep the ball alive though, in his Portuguese, Carter
37:59Vickers, Valston, goes back to Carter Vickers, Scales, Maeda, now to Jota, Jota, I'm going
38:19to go and have a run now, at the full back, it's into the box, Wobbly Scale, brilliant from
38:24Celtic, here's Jota, just runs away, and everybody thought that was a corner, but it's not to
38:31be, or is it, he's gave it, yeah, come on, that defender got a little nudge on it, and he had
38:36to, nice little bit of play, Jota gets free at the byline, lovely play once again from Celtic,
38:46Celtic, as I want to finish with a flourish, Engels, ball comes in, looks for Coen at the back post, it goes
39:01all the way through, disappointing delivery, you see this again from Jota, nice little bit of play, plays it in, it's Engels with a little clever back keel, yeah, just a touch on it, it had to be made, because Jota was,
39:15in on goal well, well Dyson Maeda, comes off, and he's replaced by Luke McCown, oh maybe a slight shift in the, where the boys are playing Simon.
39:40well
39:42I'm not sure if he just said I'm going to play
39:45where Dyson was playing there
39:47I don't know if that was the signal but let's see
39:48how he shuffled the pack
39:50Dyson said enough
39:52straight down the tunnel
39:53off for a shower
39:55yeah I think McCown is just going to play in that central
39:57position
40:00on the forward line
40:01no new position for him
40:04Luke McCown
40:10the halfway line angles
40:16angles
40:19this feels heavy challenge
40:22real heavy and he pushed us
40:24I should say on
40:25on lions
40:27don't want me going
40:29six goals for the season
40:31Simon so
40:32yeah he can finish
40:36he can finish and he can also open
40:38things up you know he's got close control
40:39and he's got good vision in there
40:41I suppose the master is in that position
40:43as you well know
40:44it's the positioning
40:45and the timing
40:47of being there at the right time
40:48sort of thing isn't it
40:49yeah and he's got a finish on him
40:51he can take the ball in a half turn
40:53he's covered enough football up
40:54to fulfil that role for the next ten minutes
40:58here's Kennedy
41:02let's come on
41:03push through here
41:04that's a goal kick
41:06he's played off to all right
41:07unusual position for him
41:11but yeah
41:16a quieter second half
41:18than the first
41:19this maybe went similar to the hearts game
41:21that we spoke about
41:22job done
41:23first half
41:23some really good quality
41:25goals
41:26and the opposition
41:28probably
41:29taking up some deeper goals
41:31and just trying to frustrate
41:32in this second half
41:33Celtic with the knowledge
41:34that the game's gone
41:35but yeah it's pretty similar to
41:38the hearts second half
41:40here scales
41:43McEwen
41:45in his new position
41:46on his central striker
41:47Tate
41:54still time to get his hat trick
41:56McGregor
42:07pass from Carter Vickers
42:12goes all the way through
42:13to O'Hara
42:15round of applause
42:21from the manager
42:22so what's the feeling
42:30do you think
42:31Simon
42:31that
42:32Celtic
42:35will be champions tomorrow
42:36or do you think
42:37it may go
42:38to the
42:39to the after the split
42:41as long as it happens
42:43I heard you talking about
42:45in the first half
42:46where it happens
42:47when it happens
42:47just getting over the line
42:49Celtic have did their job today
42:52they can't control the game tomorrow
42:55but they've got themselves
42:56in a
42:57superb position
42:59good football
43:00good football
43:02here's
43:03Nicholas Coon
43:04we've got McEwen
43:05in the box
43:06he checks back
43:07Coon
43:07Jota makes himself available
43:09Jota
43:10it's Ralston now
43:12his ball
43:14into the box
43:15is soft
43:16just thought it was a chance here
43:17for Coon maybe to play it in
43:18first time
43:19I think it was McEwen
43:19central
43:21decided to come back
43:22on his left foot
43:22trying to pick out Jota
43:24here's Coon
43:25goes first
43:26the goal
43:27the shot
43:27and it goes away
43:30for
43:30a corner kick
43:31good opportunity
43:33well defended by Joe Wright
43:35Celtic have another corner kick
43:4087% possession for Celtic
43:47I wonder if they've had
43:48a game of higher possession
43:50incredible
43:52in the last 10 or so years
43:54since the SPFL was
43:56established

53:42Scottish
53:42Cup
53:42semi-final
53:43your thoughts
53:44on the
53:44performance
53:45Simon
53:45very good
53:46first half
53:47back to
53:48that
53:48their best
53:49Celtic
53:50in terms
53:50of
53:51slick
53:51passing
53:52quick
53:53moving
53:53attacking
53:54play
53:55some lovely
53:56goals
53:56Hitates
53:58was a fine
53:58controlled
53:59effort
54:00his second
54:00was taken
54:01with real
54:02composure
54:02thunder strike
54:04from
54:04Carter Vickers
54:05and the game
54:06was over
54:06at half time
54:07really
54:07but I think
54:08the manager
54:08will have
54:09some food
54:09for thought
54:10he's brought
54:11four guys
54:11in there
54:11that started
54:12the game
54:13and they're
54:154-1 up
54:15at half time
54:16so I think
54:16that's a
54:16positive for him
54:17going into
54:18the semi-final
54:18this time
54:20next week

54:23pitch
54:24with his
54:24teammates
54:24he's straight
54:26back
54:27he must have
54:28just wanted
54:29a little look
54:29at his phone
54:29or something
54:30but he's back
54:31on the pitch
54:31with the team
54:32as they take
54:33their lap of
54:34honour
54:34round the
54:36round the
54:37pitch
54:37Brendan
54:38Rogers
54:38just discussing

54:56can be crowned
54:57champions
54:57with the Rangers
55:00playing
55:00Aberdeen
55:01a Rangers loss
55:02will gift us
55:03the title
55:0455th
55:05in our
55:06superb
55:07long history
55:08Rio Hattati
55:11two goals
55:11Simon
55:12terrific
55:13great performance
55:14yeah terrific
55:15that first half
55:16just so
55:18good with the
55:19close control
55:19but just
55:20bounced that
55:20first
55:21but I think
55:21it was Greg
55:21Taylor
55:21just uses a wall
55:22bounced it off
55:23him and
55:23steers it
55:24into the top
55:24corner
55:25he's unfortunate
55:27yeah it can be
55:28dragged back
55:28for Adam
55:29he did
55:29lovely feet
55:30that ended
55:31up at
55:31Maeda's
55:32fifth
55:33goal that
55:34was cancelled
55:35out just
55:35before half
55:36time but
55:36he's a touch
55:37of glass
55:37when he's
55:38on form
55:39you know
55:39there's a few
55:40better in
55:40the midfield
55:42there and
55:44another two
55:44goals for him
55:45Cameron
55:46Carter
55:46Vickers
55:46I think
55:48the goal
55:49of the season
55:49for the
55:50player of the
55:51year awards
55:51who knows
55:53when it'll
55:53go live
55:54towards the
55:55end of the
55:55season but
55:56that's got
55:57to be in
55:57there isn't
55:58it like
55:58what a goal
55:59it's a hell
55:59of a strike
56:00and there's a
56:01couple of
56:01situations
56:02there I had
56:02to laugh
56:03just towards
56:03the end
56:04of the
56:04game
56:04but he
56:05was in
56:05a similar
56:05area you
56:06could hear
56:06the fans
56:06wanting to
56:07take another
56:08one on

56:09Declan
56:10Weiss during
56:11the week for
56:11Arsenal with
56:12two strikes
56:12but that was
56:14a fantastic
56:15strike right
56:15behind it
56:16power
56:17swear dip
56:17on it
56:18Kiefer had
56:18no chance
56:19well
56:20well the
56:21Celtics take
56:22the applause

56:43for another
56:44Scottish Cup
56:44final as they
56:45play St Johnston

56:52showpiece event
56:53at Hampden Park
56:55Simon
56:55St Johnston
56:57they made it
56:57really difficult
56:58for Celtic
56:58last week
56:59that will be
57:00in the minds
57:01of the Celtic
57:01players
57:02do you expect
57:02them to be
57:03in clutch
57:03mode for
57:04this one
57:04next week
57:05I think
57:05in recent
57:07times
57:08the big
57:08players in
57:09Celtic's
57:09team
57:09they've got
57:11the experience

57:16the frustration
57:16of the result
57:17last week
57:18St Johnston
57:19will take a
57:20little bit of

57:22frustrate
