Good afternoon, welcome to the results show. Shorter than normal, I | :00:19. | :00:24. | |
hope you don't enjoy it too much, they might just give us half an hour | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
every week! Between now and five o'clock, it is about title races and | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
beating the drop. And the League Cup final tomorrow. Darren Jackson and | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Tom English drawing us today. Welcome. More from them later, the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
games are afoot. It is time to muster our reporters. Chip Young, we | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
have not heard from him in a while. You are watching Aberdeen play come | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
on it. I think your timing is perfect. Shea Logan with a diving | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
header has given Aberdeen a 2-1 lead. They went ahead before | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
half-time. Within two minutes into the second half, Josh Magennis, the | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
old Aberdeen player, with an equaliser. But Logan has got a | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
dramatic diving header to put them 2-1 ahead. Next, to the Highlands, | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
Inverness play Hamilton. Martin Dowden is watching. Carlton Morris | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
delivering a massive goal, as Hamilton looked to pull away from | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
the relegation play-off places. Inverness are being dragged back | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
towards it with their top starting to stumble. Next, Dens Park with | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
Brian McLaughlin, watching Dundee play Haas. Walker seventh goal of | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
the season, eight minutes into the second half. It's a fantastic game | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
of football with a lot of chances at both ends. Almost 1500 fans here. | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
Terry Kitchin, the American, has come on as a substitute for the | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
first time. -- Perry Kitchen. 74 minutes gone | :02:03. | :02:18. | |
here, St Mirren had a half-time lead thanks to a penalty, before being | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
kept back by Gary Oliver's header. One minute later, Callum Tapping | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
restored St Mirren's lead. What is happening there? Intriguing stuff, | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
especially at Pitt Drew. It's another test for the Dons tool, it | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
is one each and they seem to be passing it? Yes, it is dramatic | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
stuff. Aberdeen keep getting into hairy situations, and recently they | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
are getting out of them. That was a brilliant goal from Logan, this | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
would be a fantastic three points for him. Speaking of hairy | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
situations, I'm not talking about your beard but Inverness against | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
Hamilton? Things are looking perilous fall Caley Thistle? If they | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
lose? Yes, it is a poor result for them. Going up to Inverness is | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
always a hard game but Hamilton look like they are doing very well today | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
and it was a great finish. Hart on like they are doing very well today | :03:19. | :03:29. | |
course for doing well? Walker scored again, that is five in his last | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
seven? You are a fan? Yes, I'm surprised that the international | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
manager is not a fan. I would have thought that he should be in the | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
squad. I think he is doing well enough to merit a call-up. He is a | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
brilliant player. Queen of the South, if the bodies hold onto a | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
win, can they speak into the play-offs? They put themselves into | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
the play-offs at the end of the season but you can only start by | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
today. Winning 2-1, they would be delighted with that. The great thing | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
this season is that every game at this stage, there is a big game for | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
about every team. The lunchtime match at Firhill, imported for | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Celtic in terms of their title prospects. And Partick Thistle in | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
terms of top six positions, and pulling away from relegation | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
play-offs. If you don't know what happened, | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
let's enlighten you. Potentially massive three points in | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the league title race for Celtic and Ronny Deila, Celtic in the end | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
edging competitively. The first half was well matched, Celtic created | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
plenty of chances. Partick Thistle created one or two with Craig Gordon | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
having to make a couple of good saves. Just on the stroke of | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
half-time, the predatory Leigh Griffiths got his 35th goal of the | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
season. The goalkeeper managed to get a hand to it. The second half | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
started well, Callum McGregor doubled Celtic's advantage. A Gary | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
Mackay-Steven pass on knocking it past the goalkeeper. Celtic pretty | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
much controlled the rest of the match, that was until Erik | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Sviatchenko was penalised for a poll on Wallace, allowing Welsh to | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
dispatch a penalty past Craig Gordon. It gave This all something | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
minutes but they could not get it. minutes but they could not get it. | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
-- Caley Thistle. Final score 2-1. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
It was a jittery closing few minutes? Yes, but I think they were | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
comfortable until then. With five minutes to go, the way results have | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
been going, they would have panicked. But I'm pleased K Stephen. | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
-- for Mackay-Steven. He's feeling part of it again. You were there? | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
Yes, there were eight attempts on goal in the first half. There would | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
have been a similar number in the second half but bizarrely it turned | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
into a really nervous last five minutes. I do not think it was a | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
penalty but they are full value for the win. It was just a little closer | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
than it should have been. They should have been able to save it. | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
Leigh Griffiths taken off at the end of the match. | :06:16. | :06:24. | |
Last week I watched them through their toys out the plan. I think | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
they are anxious to get 40 goals. 35 is an achievement. He scores goals | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
for fun, that is what he does. Will they be anxious now? I do not think | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
so. They had chances in the first half today. One chance in the second | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
half, I think they are fine. I think they are safe. They are in a bit of | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
a hole at the moment, they did well in November and December, they've | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
gone off the boil a bit but they are doing fine. They played and lost to | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
Hearts, Aberdeen, played Celtic and lost to them. | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Let's look at the fixtures to come. It's OK saying they have so many | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
points and four games in hand, but playing one after the other midweek, | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
it is hard when you don't have a huge squad. But I'm sure they will | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
be delighted with the point and the games they have got. Let's go to | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
last night and the match between Motherwell and Dundee United at Fir | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Park. A Motherwell win would lift them into the top six, United could | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
do with a win to help them in their desperate attempt to dodge the drop. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
It turns out it was a notable win for Motherwell coming from behind? | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
It was full of character, and in fairness to Dundee, a brilliant | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
opening goal. I thought, here we go... The Houdini act will have | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
another chapter tonight. At Motherwell come back and win the | :07:44. | :07:50. | |
game, they are a team on form -- but Motherwell come back. They had a | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
mountain to climb at the bottom of the league, Dundee, but if it is the | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
same today for Kilmarnock it keeps the gap at eight. Motherwell could I | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
up European places next season? It depends how quickly they can change. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
They are down the bottom, then the top six. They have a really | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
different team, Scott McDonald comes off and plays. What if Scott | :08:18. | :08:26. | |
McDonald is sent off? Should he have been? I thought it was a | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
sending-off, there was not a foul for the goal. It shows when you are | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
down there, lock does not go for you. Dundee United, I know that you | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
believe that they can get out of the automatic relegation spot but it | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
looks tough? It was looking tougher when Kilmarnock were drawing and | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
Hamilton were winning but I believe they can get into the play-off | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
anyway. What was your basis for that belief? I think they have very good | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
players and if things went well for them last night, they could have got | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
a result. I believe they have a really good squad. I think they will | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
get out of it. If you've had occasion to look at the championship | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
table, you will see Ranges are 15 points clear at the top. It seems | :09:08. | :09:09. | |
the title race is pretty much over, they beat their opponents at Ibrox. | :09:10. | :09:18. | |
-- Rangers. It was a Denny Johnstone goal. You | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
were questioning whether they could stay? It was on this programme when | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
they lost to Falkirk. They were really good that day, and Rangers | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
were poor. I really questioned Rangers, but since that weekend, | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
they've been excellent. They've dropped a couple of points since | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
then, but they've been exceptional and will be worthy winners of the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
league. They have the Scottish Cup draw against Celtic. Coming up in | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
the semifinal, that would concentrate their minds wonderfully, | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
wouldn't it? There would be no slack at Ibrox? They've done exceptionally | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
well. They had a blip but have handled the pressure and the boys | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
have stepped up. The cap game -- the cup game, that confidence from last | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
week at Dundee will be enormous. They scored four goals, three goals, | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
without work on, a fantastic signing. Kenny Miller, what a | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
professional he is. Mark Warburton was questioning Gordon Strachan's | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
squad, they thought that Wallace should have been in there. You've | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
probably written an essay on this, Wallace is not the only notable | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
emission? Laconic has scored again today, 21 goals in the championship, | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
playing 100 minutes under Strachan in three years. This is a proven | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
predator in the championship, he has not got a look in, Jamie Walker, | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
Shinnie, Scott Garfield, he's going to be declaring for Canada by the | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
sound of it. I could keep you going. I think there is a lot of anger over | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
these squads and the guys who have been left out unfairly, I think. | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
Should there be more new faces in there? They need more games to get | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
all of the players in, but I have a lot of respect for Gordon. I'm sure | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
they've sat and looked at the squads and the players. Yes, everyone says | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
Lee Wallace, but Tierney, and Wallace, does Wallace want to sit on | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
the bench and be part of it? You don't know, but I'm sure that Gordon | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
has looked at it and there is reason why he's picked some people for the | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
squad, everyone has an dammit. I just | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
-- has a go. He knows what these guys can do. He has not given them a | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
-- has a go. He knows what these chance, but he knows what James | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
Forrest can do. He is in the squad. Sat on the bench. Tony what is in | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
ahead of Ross MacCormack. It need someone to explain that to me. | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
Let's hear once again from chip, who is watching Aberdeen play | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
Kilmarnock. There is a massive sense of relief around the ground. Nervous | :12:22. | :12:29. | |
Aberdeen fans after the equaliser from Magennis. The corner kick that | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
second goal came from, I do not think it should have been given. It | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
does not look like Jamie MacDonald got a touch on the ball but it was | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
given. Barry Robson's delivery was brilliant from the left-hand side. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Two minutes after the break, it was an equaliser from the former Dons | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
striker Magennis, and suddenly Aberdeen... It was a nervous place. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
Logan scored a magnificent diving header, and the places,. Local | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
friends looking at the league table can say that once again they are | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
only one point behind Celtic. However, still a bit to go but I | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
think Aberdeen have a grip on this match now. They are remaining 2-1 | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
ahead. Let's go to Inverness, Caley Thistle were trailing 1-0 when we | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
last heard, any change? It is the same. That scoreline at the tawdry | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
last heard, any change? It is the is music to their ears, it would | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
establish a 5-point gap. Inverness are knocking on the door. They had | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
one real chance to get back into this and snatch a point. The ball | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
was really high in the air, dropping to Michael McGovern but he could not | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
get much on it. The ball came to Inverness committee knocked it off | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
the post, knocking at the door, as things stand a vital three points. | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
Hamilton are on course for those. things stand a vital three points. | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
Let's find out about Dundee playing Hearts. 2.5 minutes left, still 1-0. | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
Jamie Walker scored eight minutes into this second half, but Dundee | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
should be level, they've peppered the Hearts goal in this second area. | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
Rory Loy could not find the target, the coach will be asking that | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
question at full-time. It was saved by the legs of Alexander. The ball | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
went towards the goal, but the ball was blasted clear. Two minutes left | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
to play here at dens Park. They are on course for their fourth | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
successive win in the league. On course for a trip to Paisley | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
next, the 2021 Stadium is the venue of today's match. | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
2-1, 87 minutes gone. It started in the 30th minute. A penalty put St | :14:59. | :15:09. | |
Mirren ahead. Oliver got a goal. Before I left the office today, I | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
said that Stevie Mallon would score. He did, I won't brag about it. | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
Queens hit the bar through Jacobs. In the second-half, St Mirren a goal | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
disallowed, it it was a calendar drive from that angle, turned in by | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
Shankland, that is why it was disallowed for offside. | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
It was 1-1 at 62 minutes, Jacobs crossed and it was headed in by | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
Oliver. One minute later, Alex Cooper ran down the left-hand side | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
for St Mirren and drove in a low cross which was turned into his own | :15:46. | :15:46. | |
net by Callum Tapping. Tell me how it is going to finish, | :15:47. | :16:00. | |
then?! It is going to finish may be 2-2. Let's take a break and talk | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
about the leak cup final, which is live on BBC television tomorrow | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
afternoon. We have got this graphic to prove it. There was some mood | :16:15. | :16:21. | |
music Dingwall-style today, as they headed south on their mission to win | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
their first major trophy. They were successful on their last visit to | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
the national stadium, taking care of Celtic in the semifinals, knocking | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
out the cup holders with this win at Hampden. This must give them a real | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
boost of confidence. Of course. Ross County on their day are a formidable | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
side, as are Hibs, which is why it is difficult to call. Neither of | :16:47. | :16:53. | |
them are at their best. They were both at their best at the start of | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
the season. I am really looking forward to this one. It is a hard | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
one to call, isn't it? I was saying to you before the show, Darren, that | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
Ross County did not seem to be able to string together a run of | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
victories? No,, I have got a lot of respect for what they have achieved | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
up there. This would be the icing on the cake. But I have just got a | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
sneaky feeling for Hibs, for what they have achieved against | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
Premiership teams this year. And I think they have got Premiership | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
players in the Hibs team anyway. Somewhat surprisingly, Hibs are the | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
favourites with the bookmakers. Surprising because Ross County are a | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
Premiership side. However, Hibs have taken care of Premiership opposition | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
in the competition, most recently St Johnstone in the semifinals, Darren. | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
Yes, that is the big one, going to a semifinal and going against a good | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
strong Premiership side. Right penalty! Yes, it was, the referee | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
gave it and he put it away well. But it was a massive result. St | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
Johnstone are a really good side, a hard side to play against. They have | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
taken care of Dundee United and Aberdeen as well on their way to | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
this final. Yes. In the two cup competitions they have played nine | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
matches, won seven and drawn two, taking care of Premiership | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
opposition along the way. Formidable. Not playing great at the | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
moment. They are not. I was actually at the Queen's game and I was at | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
thes game as well. Things just not going their way at the | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
did not actually play really badly. did not actually play really badly. | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
-- at the Morton game as well. They had a decision going against them. | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
And poor goals they conceded. What not playing really badly. Two | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
impressive managers. Very much so. They have brought their clubs | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
forward impressively. Preparations-wise this week, it has | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
been very different. Hibs have jetted off to the sun, while County | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
stayed at home. Yes, I mean, I would go for the sun option! No disrespect | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
to Dingwall! Is it a different approach to the final? Not really. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Maybe it is good to take them away and take away the pressure of it | :19:40. | :19:43. | |
being in the papers all the time. Just go away and they do not hear | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
anything. They can just concentrate on training and speaking about what | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
they want to achieve. What kind of final do you think it will be? Is it | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
too close to call? I think it is. I think it will be open. I hope the | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
sense of occasion does not get to think it will be open. I hope the | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
them and that they both come and play. I think it will be. I think | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
they are both footballing sides. But the prize is so big, sometimes, you | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
would know this better than anybody, it can suffer gate the guys. I hope | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
it doesn't, I really do. -- suffocate. Who are you going for? I | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
have said Hibs, but I say that with very little confidence. Ross County | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
are aside who absolutely deserve respect. The full-times are | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
beginning to come in, the first of which comes from Charlie Mann, home | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
of Alloa. They are at home to wait Rovers this afternoon. How has it | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
finished? It has finished 1-1. Not the greatest game in the world, but | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
lots of drama towards the end. First half, it was Ryan Hartley who should | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
have put Raith Rovers in front. He lacked composure in front of goal. | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
The second half started well for Raith Rovers, Aidan Connolly, good | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
shot from the edge of the box, really good save. , then Alloa, who | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
are seeking their first home win in the league of the season went in | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
front. Good run down the right-hand side and ball into the box, and | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
Stephen Hetherington was free at the far post to put low past the | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
goalkeeper. And then of course, Raith Rovers pushed for everything | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
to try to get the equaliser. And in the dying minutes, 90th minute, | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
Benedict is, in the right place at the right time to put it past the | :21:41. | :21:51. | |
goalkeeper. So close for Alloa. -- Benedictus. In the end, it is | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
another important .4 Raith Rovers. Let's find out what happened between | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
Dundee and Hearts. It has finished 1-1. The game merited much more than | :22:05. | :22:11. | |
this one solitary goal. Jimmy Walker showed fantastic composure to go | :22:12. | :22:12. | |
around Scott Bain to get Hearts was showed fantastic composure to go | :22:13. | :22:24. | |
no fourth win on the bounce. Hearts had another really good chance. | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
Jordon Moody did find the back of the net, but the flag was raised for | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
offside. No doubt Paul Hartley will be asking exactly what his players | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
had to do to score this afternoon. Several good chances were passed up. | :22:41. | :22:52. | |
Rory Loy had a good chance. Don Cowie should have found the net | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
after good work by Walker, but fired just wide. A fantastic win for | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
Hearts as they home in on a European spot. A dent on the chances of | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
Dundee of getting a lucrative top six spot. Off we go to Somerset | :23:08. | :23:16. | |
park, a look into League One. Derek Ferguson has the story of the game. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
It has finished Ayr United 0- one Dunfermline Athletic. Not a thing of | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
beauty. The opening 45 minutes was more of a battle rather than a | :23:29. | :23:36. | |
football match. The same pattern of play continued into the second | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
period up until, and thankfully, the talented El Bakhtaoui took centre | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
stage with two goals in five minutes. First he held off the | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
challenge of Murphy to drive home from 15 yards out. Then an absolute | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
cracker, volleying home from ten yards to give the 'keeper no chance. | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
That one came on six to seven minutes. That is how it has | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
finished. So, another three points for Allan Johnston's men as they | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
march on towards the league title. Full-time at Pittodrie now. Well, it | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
was not a thing of beauty, but rate is a dramatic win for Aberdeen. | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
Three points keep them hanging on to the coat-tails of league leaders | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
Celtic. Ash Taylor said he had a them the lead on the threshold of | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
half-time. -- Ash Taylor's header. It came from a corner which I do not | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
believe should have been awarded. And the equaliser came to minutes | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
into the second half. Josh Magennis, once upon a time an Aberdeen player, | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
got in a header which went beyond Scott Brown to stun Pittodrie. There | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
were a lot of nervous moments for the locals in the wake of that. Then | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
after 71 minutes, a fabulous diving header from Logan put Aberdeen | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
ahead. They hung it until the final whistle. It gives them an important | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
and dramatic three points. Full-time in Inverness. Over to Martin Dowden. | :25:15. | :25:23. | |
Yes, Inverness 0- one Hamilton full stop a massive three points for | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
Hamilton. They put some distance between themselves and the | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
relegation play-off places. Morrison drilled it in on 59 minutes. | :25:35. | :25:43. | |
Inverness had had a couple of good attempts. But the first period was | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
fairly uninspiring. John Hughes went for broke, and again they were very | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
unlucky with an instinct to header going just wide. They had three | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
strikers on the park at the end. They nearly snatched a point when a | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
high ball into the box caused havoc. They hit the post, it came out. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
Danny Devine then nodded over right at the death. Dramatic,, not enough. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
This gives Hamilton a vital 5-point cushion at the bottom. Back to the | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
Championship and Kenny Crawford, St Mirren against Queen of the South. | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
Championship and Kenny Crawford, St Was your prediction correct for the | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
final score? I was just one out. It finished 2-1. It is a precious win | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
for St Mirren, keeping their hopes of finishing fourth alive with this | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
is unsure. Queen of the South were also trying to get up to that | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
fourth-place, but they have not a good record in McIlroy. They have | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
not won here since 2003. In the 30th minute, Stevie Mallan scored a | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
penalty, his 10th of the season, low into the bottom corner. That is what | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
it was at half-time. After the break, St Mirren thought they had | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
doubled their lead when Calum Gallagher's shot was touched in at | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
the back post I Shanklin. The referee disallowed it for offside. I | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
think it was going in if Shankland had not touched it. Queen of the | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
South then went up the other end and equalised. It was a lovely floated | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
ball to the back post by Kyle Jacobs. Former Hearts layered Gary | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
Oliver nodded it in at the back post. But that lasted only 60 | :27:29. | :27:38. | |
seconds. St Mirren made it 2-1 almost immediately. Alex Cooper | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
scampered down the left and crossed it in low and hard and Calum Tapping | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
scampered down the left and crossed put it in. That is the way it | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
finished. We have got time for a wee bit of discussion here. Aberdeen | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
winning 2-1 at home to Kilmarnock. bit of discussion here. Aberdeen | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
The title race is still very much alive? Yes, Derek will be delighted. | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
It does not have to be pretty. Kilmarnock gave a good account of | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
themselves, but when you have got the desire to win the game, it | :28:13. | :28:18. | |
counts. Two defenders scoring for Aberdeen as well? Yes, and that | :28:19. | :28:24. | |
tells you something. I think it is Aberdeen's 12 victories in the | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
league I a single goal this season. People talk about bottle, and that | :28:29. | :28:35. | |
word is constantly used. They have it, they have shown that. Hamilton | :28:36. | :28:41. | |
have put the cat among the pigeons today as well? They have. We were | :28:42. | :28:47. | |
just speaking there. It is a massive three points. Every time I look at | :28:48. | :28:52. | |
the table, I have to look at it three four times. But Accies are now | :28:53. | :29:00. | |
five clear of Kilmarnock, second bottom, but only five outside the | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
top six. Yes, and that is insane! That is bonkers. Hamilton, this is | :29:07. | :29:09. | |
only their second win since December. Fair play to them, it is a | :29:10. | :29:11. | |
huge win for them today. Not enough December. Fair play to them, it is a | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
to ensure their safety, surely. No, you would not say that. Because this | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
league table can change five times in the same day, never mind over the | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
seven or eight games left in the season. You cannot say anything is | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
sealed right now. The bottom two perhaps, are we beginning to look at | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
those two? Yes, that result today has put the cat amongst the pigeons. | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
I think Hamilton, as we said, not safe for that they have given | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
themselves a real good chance now. It looks like those two at the | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
bottom, one of them will go down and the other one will be in the | :29:51. | :29:52. | |
play-offs. Thistle have got quite nice running now? They have. -- | :29:53. | :30:05. | |
write a nice run-in. They have, and they have had a tough spell | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
recently. They will have a modicum of confidence going into these | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
upcoming games. I think they will be OK. They have a problem with | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
goal-scoring. If they had a proven goal-scorer up front for them, they | :30:17. | :30:18. | |
goal-scoring. If they had a proven would be much further up the table | :30:19. | :30:24. | |
because they are not bad. Dundee, another disappointing result for | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
them today. They have not won now in their last four games? Yes, really | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
disappointing. Coming from last week I think they were so confident going | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
into the cup game, and to be beaten so well against Rangers, and then | :30:38. | :30:42. | |
they were disappointing today as well. That is it for today. I will | :30:43. | :30:49. | |
leave you with a brisk run through of today's results. First up, the | :30:50. | :30:52. | |
Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership... Finally, in League 2... | :30:53. | :31:41. | |
