Open Goal - Football Show

It was a huge weekend in Scottish Football as Rangers and Hibs booked their places in the Premier Sports Cup Final. Si Ferry, Slaney and Andy Halliday look back on both semi-finals as Ryan Naderi's late finish saw Derek McInnes beat his old side Aberdeen and new Hibs Manager Marink Reedijk picked the perfect time to get his first victory as they saw-off arch-rivals Hearts to win the Edinburgh Derby to set-up next month's Final at Hampden.

There was also dramatic SPFL Scottish Premiership action as Celtic's recent struggles continued with a 2-0 defeat to Falkirk. The lads dissect the performance and discuss where it leaves Martin O'Neill and the club during a turbulent time at Celtic Park with another Europa League tie against Besiktas looming.

It was an action packed midweek card in the SPFL Scottish Premiership as Derek McInnes returned to a hostile reception at Tynecastle before his Rangers side battled out a thrilling 2-2 draw against a dominant Hearts side.

Si Ferry, Slaney, Derek Ferguson and Gordon Dalziel look back on the game as well as discuss Celtic's dropped points to Dundee United as they also drew 2-2 and missed the opportunity to extend their lead over Rangers. Is Martin O'Neill's persistence in starting misfiring striker Kasper Hogh through the middle instead of Camilo Duran harming their performances?

The lads also review the rest of the fixtures including Hibs getting their first point under their new Manager ahead of their Edinburgh Derby semi-final in the Premier Sports Cup this Sunday as well as a bad home defeat to Falkirk for Stephen Robinson's Aberdeen ahead of their Hampden tie against Rangers on Saturday.

We also discuss the title race as Celtic came back from a goal behind to beat Hibs 2-1 with Camilo Duran's winner keeping the Easter Road side at the bottom of the SPFL Scottish Premiership table.

Rangers were also flying on Saturday as Kelsy and Naderi combined to produce a comfortable 4-0 win over St Johnstone while Hearts bounced back from 2 defeats on the spin to beat a struggling Motherwell side which sets up a huge game at Tynecastle on Wednesday night as Derek McInnes returns to his former team for the first time since very nearly bringing the title back to Gorgie.
