0141 951 1025 It's time to talk football It's Clyde One Super Scoreboard
Good evening and welcome to Clyde One Super Scoreboard as the dust begins to settle on Scottish Cup semi-final weekend.
Chapter 2: What is the latest news about James Tavernier's contract situation?
James Tavenier says there's no Rangers contract offer on the table but wouldn't close the door on staying beyond this season. Speaking of contracts, James Forrest's focused more on the end of the campaign rather than his situation and St Johnston can win the championship tonight and secure an immediate return to the Scottish playoffs.
Premiership I'm Gordon Duncan and joining me tonight you have Falkirk's Brian Graham and Gordon Dale yeah I'm looking forward to the week ahead Gordon after the excitement of the Scottish Cup semi-finals and you know what they say about that nobody remembers the losers so we'll move on
and I'm looking forward to see if St Johnstone can finally cleanse the championship tonight they have been the best team obviously Mark Wilson's party run them very close but you see them getting over the line Dunfermline will they have a little bit of a hangover a lot of games coming up for them and then it's into the weekend and the split

Chapter 3: How have recent performances affected Celtic's title chances?
it's just one of those things isn't it a semi-final it's very difficult to take but when you look at the season overall and when the season finishes I think they'll all sit back and say well we had a brilliant season let's be honest about it I know but it's still sore it's still very raw but at the same time football moves on very quickly we've got a massive game against Celtic at Parkhead half past five on Saturday night so we need to dust ourselves down and go again as much as we're all hurting at the football club
It'll take a wee bit of time to get over that one, that's for sure. Maybe at my age I might never get a chance to get to a Scottish Cup final again, so it was very, very sore. But we move on very quickly and we'll look forward to Celtic on Saturday.
01419511025. That's the number you need, so get in touch. We're getting on, as the guys have said, football moving on. But if you do still have leftover thoughts from the Cup semi-final weekend, we would love to hear them.
Chapter 4: What are the opinions on Tavernier's potential departure from Rangers?
Celtic fans, it was not quite the afternoon... You would have expected. You got the outcome that you wanted, but my goodness, what a rollercoaster to get there. And then lots to take away from the performance, looking at what didn't work, things that did. James Forrest, Galicci and Acho, they're all getting some praise for their parts in it. What did you make of it?
How do you look back on it now? Speaking of which, James Forrest has been talking about his future, his contract up at the end of the season.
Chapter 5: What factors contribute to Tavernier's importance to the Rangers team?
And I really want to lean on that debate for you Rangers fans. We're going to hear...
a fairly interesting discussion with James Tavernier because he hasn't actually spoken too much about his contractual situation I can't think of many more debated players on this show over the last 10 years than James Tavernier everyone talking about the goals and the numbers and how good he is and then he still has the critics and even after all this time people can't quite seem to make up their mind about how important he is to Rangers
And now his contract's up, so it's a very, very simple question for you Rangers fans. We're going to hear from James Tavernier, but what do you think? Should he be at the club next season? Simple as that. Should the club offer him a deal? Do you think he would sign it? And ultimately, should he be at the club next season, Rangers fans?
Chapter 6: How do Rangers fans feel about Tavernier's contributions this season?
James Tavernier, yes or no for the next campaign? Give us a call right now on that if you can before we...
play the interview 01419511025 if you're just desperate you're excited already you're four days away from the return of the premiership and the post split fixtures then by all means get them into us as well looking ahead to everything that's still to come this is it this is the final stretch five games to go so much still to be decided I'm looking forward to this Gordon Dale
I think everybody has been so excited, Gordon. You look at the international break came, everybody was looking forward to the next few fixtures as well. Rangers, Celtic, Hearts all won. Then you're looking forward to semi-final and then all of a sudden, all concentration now is on, not just the top six, You look at the bottom six, who's going to finish in that dreaded 11th?
Chapter 7: What are the implications of Tavernier's performance on his future?
Because one of those championship teams, and I've got a funny feeling it could be Patrick Thistle under Mark Wilson, that will not be an easy game to get through. Especially against Far Hill, they've been excellent this season at Far Hill.
yeah they hardly lose a game there but bags bags of excitement twists and turns let's be honest about it we ain't going to sit here now for the next five weeks or whatever it may be and it's going to be straightforward it's going to be twists and turns and pundits like Brian and Hugh and Andy guys that just change their mind constantly will be doing it all the time you've just got to pick a team and stick with it you remind me who your team was again I'll tell you in a couple of weeks
01419511025 whilst you get your calls in about James Tavernier or James Forrester the weekend let's do the semi-serious bit Brian Graham how do you and your teammates reflect on the disappointment of Saturday?
Yeah as I said earlier it was a sore one to take we probably had more of the ball but we never really done anything with it in the final third I think the manager's already come out and said that
We went over the game Monday morning, as you can imagine it was very quiet when we went in Monday morning but listen, as I said to you, we went over it, we've dealt with it, we're disappointed as a club as a whole but we're top six, we wanted to be in this top six, we're now looking forward to these five exciting games where in the potential we could have a say in who goes and wins this league.
We wanted to be there, and we also wanted to be in the final, but it wasn't to be. Sometimes that's football. But to be fair, if you're being really honest, you'd probably say the final had the better chances over the 120 minutes, and obviously we go and lose in penalties, it makes it even worse.
So, yeah, sore one for the football club, but as I said, we move on to Celtic and we'll look forward to that challenge come Saturday.
What's been the takeaway then? Where do you think it went wrong in terms of a football match that many people would have expected you, because you've earned the right to be favourites for how good you've been this season?

Chapter 8: How does Tavernier compare to past Rangers captains?
why did it not quite live up to what you've been doing?
To be fair, we went into this, we never changed anything Monday to Friday, we had our game plan, and to be fair, at Dunfermline, they nullified us in the wider areas, we never really created much, and Big Barney never really got much service to go and score a goal, so it's a sore one, it's a hard one to just put your finger on one exact reason, because when you go over the clips, there is opportunities where a final ball let us down, there was opportunities where we were in and didn't pick the right pass, so...
on the day as a whole it just didn't click for us and you go to the penalty shootouts anything can happen but obviously as you all watched we lost we missed the first two and it's so difficult to come back from that were you on the fifth if it got there I was yes robbed of the moment had you practiced penalties see when it gets to that are you a it's a lottery type guy or
no everybody practices penalty when you're in a semi-final we did practice them the day before Scott Bain was on fire made a few saves but on the day it just wasn't to be there was one he just doused past he was unlucky but in the main apart from them hitting the bar there was another chance for the young 17 year old in extra time where he gets in the back of Connor Allen and he just doesn't get shot and Bain makes a good save but the 17 year old come on extra time could potentially have had a double the one that hits the bar he was really unlucky with
I think we had Ethan Ross had one save tip round the post and then I had a header for the corner we never really created anything clear cut to go and score a goal and Dunfermline defended really well It's a massive ask obviously I acknowledge that but based on what you saw from Dunfermline do you think they could
Could they do it? Could they go as far as doing it? Can they at least make life very uncomfortable for Celtic in the final?
They'll make it very uncomfortable and listen you've got to give them credit they've beaten Hibs they've beaten Aberdeen they've beaten Falkirk so they've done it the hard way they've got to the final by the way they're there on merit as much as it hurts me to say that they deserve to go through because we've never done enough
And you just never know in football Anything can happen If Celtic don't turn up Then obviously It can happen But if Celtic turn up I think Celtic will have too much for them 01419511025 If you want to make Brian Graham real of his pain I'm sure he would Take it all on the chin But what about some of the other Talking points during the rounds Let's hear from James Tavernier Like I mentioned earlier Since the day he arrived
He will have been one of the most spoken about people on this show and others and all across Scottish football. 11 years and now the contract is up. Will he be a Rangers player next season? Should he be? Let us know right now. This is the update from the man himself.
