Good afternoon. Welcome to the results show. Looking for the | :00:15. | :00:30. | |
tennis? BBC Two. No dead rubbers here. We have reporters, from around | :00:31. | :00:40. | |
the country. Anyone for headlines? We can start at Ibrox, Rangers at | :00:41. | :00:56. | |
home to Ross County. No Joey Barton as he was told to stay away. No Liam | :00:57. | :01:07. | |
Boyce for County. We can go to McDiarmid Park. 1-0 St Johnstone in | :01:08. | :01:21. | |
the Perth sunshine, Cummins prodded past Hamilton, Hearts dominant but | :01:22. | :01:34. | |
1-0. And Fir Park? Plenty of goals? Yes, Motherwell 4-2. And one name | :01:35. | :01:46. | |
has dominated proceedings, Moult, first start of the season, four | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
goals, low finishes, header, penalty. Crawford has two for | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
Hamilton to stop his side falling adrift. The next is going to be | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
crucial. And we can go to Kilmarnock. Partick Thistle looking | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
to avoid five defeats in a row, four in the league, Boyd opened the | :02:11. | :02:24. | |
scoring. Stevie Lawless equalised, but Coulibaly put Killie 2-1 up. The | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
hero of the Killie fans. Brian is my hero. He is at Easter Road. | :02:28. | :02:42. | |
Cummings put Hibs in front but Balatoni has equalised. We can get | :02:43. | :02:59. | |
some more detail. Yes. Cummins with the goal, against the run of play, | :03:00. | :03:16. | |
some fabulous saves from Nicholson, and as I am talking, Robbie Newson | :03:17. | :03:24. | |
has been sent to the stand. I will give you more news about what has | :03:25. | :03:35. | |
happened. -- Neilson. Remember, Hearts going into this, on three | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
straight wins, not won here on league business since November 2000 | :03:45. | :03:56. | |
and ten. And we can find out more about the Moult show at Fir Park? | :03:57. | :04:06. | |
Until today, Motherwell hadn't won since the opening day, low poked | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
effort, header to the back post then another nice finish. But then, | :04:17. | :04:28. | |
Hamilton getting back into it. Brilliant curved shot, 3-1 at | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
half-time. After the break, Motherwell penalty, Moult stepped up | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
confidently. But then, Crawford for Hamilton. It was a lovely way to | :04:43. | :04:51. | |
finish. 4-2. That is the score at the moment. And we can go back to | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
the Championship. Goal involving Hibs and Ayr. Brian? It is a | :05:00. | :05:12. | |
remarkable turnaround. Hibs had led through Cummings, it was a | :05:13. | :05:24. | |
magnificent shot, looked as though it would open up. But then, sending | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
off for Bartley on Adams. And since then, Ayr have come back. Balatoni | :05:35. | :05:45. | |
equalisers, and then Gilmour, from just six yards, slots home. Ayr, | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
2-1. Hibs have won the opening five games. Never won their opening six. | :05:51. | :05:58. | |
It looked as though that was going to be on, not now. And details, of | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
the Ayrshire rivals, Killie at home to Partick Thistle. Leading 2-1. You | :06:10. | :06:18. | |
talk about continuity, that has been a problem but Lee Clark has selected | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
the same starting line-up for the second week. Kris Boyd, getting on | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
the scoresheet, good control, it looked as though he had lost the | :06:29. | :06:36. | |
ball, but back of the net and after that Erskine went close. Doolan had | :06:37. | :06:48. | |
a shot blocked away by McDonald. 32 minutes, Stevie Lawless got Thistle | :06:49. | :06:58. | |
back on level terms. Lovely touch and turn to pull the Glasgow side | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
back on level terms. Coulibaly had that acrobatic effort last week, | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
causing more problems, alongside Kris Boyd and after 65 minutes, he | :07:11. | :07:17. | |
found the back of the net, header, jumping above everybody to get on | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
the end of the cross. We have played 79 minutes. Plenty of goals but not | :07:24. | :07:37. | |
at Ibrox! 0-0! Rangers, 13 shots, County three. County's Twitter feed | :07:38. | :07:47. | |
said the bus leaves Ibrox at 10am! I have taken a look at the statistics, | :07:48. | :08:00. | |
Rangers bossing the game... No Joey Barton. Holt and Halliday in | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
midfield with Windass. High tempo. But supporters would be expecting to | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
win this? At home, against Ross County, after last weekend and all | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
the controversy, they wanted some resounding success. It is not | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
happening at the moment. They are not going to be happy. This happened | :08:24. | :08:35. | |
last season, Rangers would have possession, not take chances, one of | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
the failings of last season's team. I think Rangers have actually | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
regressed with some of the summer recruitment, the Barton issue, it | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
has been difficult to handle. The manager has to have the respect and | :08:49. | :08:57. | |
authority of the squad, but... Will he be back, Barton? Obviously, he's | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
going to be back on Monday. Will he? Yesterday he gave that radio | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
interview, an authorised by the clock, I think it is a difficult | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
situation but the manager has got to have control of the dressing room so | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
I think it is unlikely that he is going to have a future at Rangers. | :09:21. | :09:28. | |
But he has the two year contract. I just cannot understand, how this has | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
been allowed to happen. I know that social media, we have listened to | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
him so many times but I cannot see readers allowing that to happen. | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
Joey won't stop. Imagine telling him you cannot do social media. I think | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
Mark Warburton, it is huge for him, defining. I know that he wants a | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
positive environment at the dressing room. If that has deteriorated he | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
needs to sort it out. He should also be saying, this is Rangers, almost | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
like Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United. But if he does | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
not get this right, he could be undermined. Big moment for Partick | :10:16. | :10:28. | |
Thistle. Drawn level? Free kick, right hand side, eluded everyone. | :10:29. | :10:37. | |
Stramash at the back. Liam Lindsay blasts it in! Partick vessel, back | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
on level terms, less than seven to go. I have to start with the game, | :10:45. | :10:53. | |
without too many goals, St Johnstone and Hearts. This could be huge, but | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
going to St Johnstone, it is so difficult to defeat them at the | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
gamut Park. I suppose if they do not get something back, huge | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
disappointment. They have been going so well. Lots of chances? Zander | :11:10. | :11:21. | |
Clarke in goals. He has made some excellent saves. Opportunities from | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
the first half. And just at the point when St Johnstone scored, I | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
thought that Hearts were on top, getting chances, but St Johnstone | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
scored the goal. As we have said, St Johnstone just do this. I have seen | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
Hearts twice recently, and they have been doing this, finding the way to | :11:47. | :11:57. | |
win, wouldn't rule them out. But Robbie Neilson now watching from the | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
stands. Another controversial Robbie Neilson now watching from the | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
moment. Brought down, outside the box, but Yodel card for simulation. | :12:05. | :12:13. | |
And Tommy Wright had said that Hearts maximise simulation. I | :12:14. | :12:22. | |
thought that he was fouled. As soon as you stick out a leg, I was | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
listening to the radio, talking about the situation, from last week, | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
it was a certain penalty. Definite contact. Definitely too much. The | :12:35. | :12:48. | |
man of the moment at Motherwell, Moult, scored four then substituted? | :12:49. | :13:04. | |
Mark McGhee said it was his first start and would get an hour. Even | :13:05. | :13:12. | |
though he has got four goals, Mark McGhee has got to look at the bigger | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
picture because last season Moult, his goals and Scott Quigg Donald, | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
the Motherwell to the top six. -- Scott McDonald. It is crucial. He | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
lost Johnson, coming back for his first game, four goals, going to be | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
happy tonight. And Crawford scored two crackers but overshadowed? | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
Hamilton's top scorer, I think he has rediscovered his form. And those | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
goals today, right and left foot, expelled finishes, we have been | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
watching and Hamilton have not given even at 4-1, 3-0. That have just | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
kick going. That says a lot about the character. Not going to accept | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
that schooling. It has been entertaining. And plenty of | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
entertainment Last year Partick Thistle won the | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
game handsomely. Different this year. It's a big game and Kilmarnock | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
was one of the favourites to be bottom. 17 signings they've made. | :14:25. | :14:32. | |
Yeah, quite incredible. But you know, by going in at the back, is he | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
on loan? That's a good bit of business, because he needed that | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
consolidation at the back. A good signing for them. They're doing OK. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
It's going to be a fight down the bottom no matter what. Thistle down, | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
there this is a big result today. Kilmarnock was predictively down | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
there going well. Looks like a fight at the top of the championship as | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
well. We thought it was going to be a procession for Hibs. They were | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
going for their sixth win on the spin, their best ever start to a | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
season. They're 2-1 down to Ayr United. Queen of the South, 3-0 at | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
home to Raith Rovers. They will go top. I don't think it was Queen of | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
the South expecting to challenge Hibs. We thought Dundee United, | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
range Rovers and Falkirk would have continued their form from last | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
season. Queen of the south did this two years ago. They had a tremendous | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
run of form under Jamie Fowler. Maybe the change of management has | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
been enough to kickstart something there. Two goals again today. | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Stephen Dobie has scored at the highest level. He could probably | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
play in the top flight in Scotland comfortably. He's gone back to a | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
club he knows well. He's responded to that. He's a very good player. | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
It's a blow for Hibs today, not only because they were on a good run. | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
Marvin Bartley has been sent off. That will disrupt the flow of the | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
team. Neil will not be happy that the team surrendered. It's a | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
challenge for them. I don't think the championship will be countered | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
by them. There's enough competitiveness in that team. | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
Dunbarton 1 st, mirn 1. St Mirren haven't won. This was a big result | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
for St Mirren. They'll be hoping to get something and take the pressure | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
off the manager. You don't like to see St Mirren as a team playing in | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
the top flight down at the bottom of the division below. Plenty of drama | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
still this afternoon to come, I believe. Something has happened at | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Rugby Park. John, can you fill us in, a red card? Yeah, Abdul-0s | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
Mondayed has suffered a -- Osmond has suffered a second yellow card. | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
He was booked after 85 minutes for hauling back Rory McKensey as he | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
movered through the midfield area -- moved through the midfield area. | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
McKenzie was fouled by Osmond by a few seconds. The referee says a | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
second yellow. Off goes Osman, much in disgust. Still 2-2. He's gone off | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
in disgust. Pat, but one would think a draw for par tick thist alway from | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
home is decent given there are three defeats on the spin. Absolutely a | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
huge result for them today. They need something to get them going | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
again. This one is important away from home. Absolutely. It's going to | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
be tough in the last period now with that down to ten men. The thing | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
about thistle is I saw them recently against Hearts. They're playing very | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
well. They played lovely football at home against Hearts. Ultimately they | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
lost that game. They're playing well. Maybe the final - The thing | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
about Thist ill is that they play -- thistle, is that they play great | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
football. It's the defending unit. Hamilton with r playing well this | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
afternoon. Mother well in the derby, let's head to Fir Park, it's | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
full-time. Alley Crawford on the losing side, even scoring two goals | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
today. Let's get the details. Yes, the last time Motherwell and | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
Hamilton met at Fir Park there were six goals. 3-3 that day. Today a 4 | :18:15. | :18:24. | |
pave 2 win for Motherwell. They have Moult to thank for that. He has the | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
match ball in his arms. He's recovered from a groin injury. | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
Cruising, two low finishes from the 24-year-old Englishman and a header | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
as well. Hamilton change r changed to 3-5-2. A brilliant finish into | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
the far corner from Crawford. Motherwell got the three-goal lead | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
again from a penalty. Ryan Bowman was brought down. It looked to be | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
comfortable. The Motherwell manager said before the game, Hamilton do | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
not give up. They didn't give up. Especially Ally Crawford. He made it | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
4-2. Hamilton peppered the Motherwell goal with headers and | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
shots that were cleared off the line or saved. They couldn't get the | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
crucial third to bring them straight back into the match. Moult has given | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
a fist up to the crowd in celebration. The key man here. | :19:24. | :19:29. | |
The man of the moment at mother well. Given the departure of Marvin | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
Johnson he will be crucial for them. He already proved that he was last | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
season in his partnership with Scott McDonald was so vital to them. Other | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
players are stepping up. Ryan Bowman has played a real part in this game | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
today. He could have had a goal today. There was a slight argument, | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
disagreement over who was taking the penalty. He was the player brought | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
down. He stepped up to the take it. Then Louis Moult said, I'm on this | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
one. He scored a penalty last week as well. Definitely his duty. I | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
believe it's fulltime imminent, no it's not, I was going to say it is | :20:07. | :20:14. | |
at Rugby Park, but it's not. Hamilton, losing 4-2 today and two | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
goals from Crawford. He's their talisman. Even when he's scoring | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
they've gone down to defeat. Just winning one match this season. | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
They're at the bottom. That's probably them, I don't necessity | :20:30. | :20:31. | |
where it will be in the league. Third bottomment Not easy. Also a | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
derby, you want to win the derby to give you confidence and that. What | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
Ally Crawford will score goals again. The defensive side of the | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
game, I always feel as a goalkeeper, if you have a good unit there, you | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
can nick games, you have a chance. It's going to be tough enough season | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
for them. St Johnstone goalkeeper has had a clean sheet this | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
afternoon. His side winning 1-0 at home to hearts. We can see fulltime | :21:02. | :21:08. | |
scenes there. There he is. He will be a happy man this evening. We can | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
get the details now. Hearts have passed up the chance to go top of | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
the table this evening 1-0 to St Johnstone. A very competitive match, | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
but dominated by Hearts. Graham Cummings prodded past Hamilton just | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
before the hour mark totally against the run of play. Hearts completely | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
dominant till that point. Clarke in the goal was in sensational form all | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
afternoon. Great one-handed, close-range saves from Nichol son in | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
particular. It just wouldn't fall for them. Patterson headed against | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
the bar. The build up to this game dominated by Tommy Wright saying | :21:54. | :21:56. | |
Hearts players go to ground too easily. He was looking sheepish when | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
his midfielder Michael Koulson was booked for diving early on. The | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
manager sent to the stand late on, we will find out what that is all | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
about. Hearts dismall form in the league continues. They haven't won | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
here since 2010. Fulltime, it finished St Johnstone #1, Hearts 0. | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
Defeat for Hearts, also defeat for Hibernian, this afternoon. They were | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
at home to Ayr United in the championship. We can have the | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
fulltime report now. It finished 2-1. A remarkable crowd in front of | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
15,000 here at Easter road, all of them looking for record breaking | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
Hibernian sixth win out of six in the league, a record held since | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
19146/47 season. Cummings opened the score and they looked on course for | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
the seven out seven winners. A magnificent, left foot, curling | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
shot. He's score the in all six games this season. The pivotal point | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
in the game was mid-way through the first half. A red card was shown to | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
Bartley by the referee for a challenge on Jamie Adams. The whole | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
contrast of the game completely changed. Ayr players began to | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
believe. Conrad Balitone equalised with a stunning header. That gave | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
believe. Conrad Balitone equalised the Ayr fans a real hope that they | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
could leave here with all three points. With ten minutes left they | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
scored the winning goal. A wonderful run down the right side into the | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
box. Gilmour slid the ball into the back of the net. Not too bane boos | :23:46. | :23:53. | |
in the -- many boos in the sunshine here. Back to the Premiership, it's | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
still ongoing at Ibrox. It's 0-0. We're into stoppage time. There it's | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
fulltime at Rugby Park. Kilmarnock against Partick Thistle. Let's hear | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
from John Barnes. A point apiece here this afternoon. Kilmarnock 2, | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
Partick Thistle 2. A terrific left foot strike into the bottom right | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
hand corner of the net. Stephen Lawless levelled thing up with | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
terrific touch and turn. On his right foot he fired past McDonald to | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
level things in the first half. In the second period Kilmarnock went in | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
front. This time a header at the back post after a deep cross from | :24:40. | :24:49. | |
the right. It looked at that stage as though Kilmarnock were in the | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
ascendency. Then Liam Lindsay popped up at the back post and blasted home | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
to level it at 2-2. The drama wasn't over then. Osman was sent off for a | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
second yellow card two minutes from the end. That means Kilmarnock have | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
picked up one win in seven. For Partick Thistle no wins in five, but | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
it stops the rot of four straight defeats. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
In those pictures we saw Kris Boyd and Culibale, that is a fearsome | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
forward line. Looks as though that will stand them in good stead. And | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
no overhead kick. He tried one. He had that fantastic somersault when | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
he scored, which is fantastic. You'd never have been able to do that. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Norchlts! -- No! I would have chased after him. He's strong and he's good | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
balance to his game and that. He scores goals, yeah. Kris Boyd big | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
and strong again. We watched the goal here, he was up against three, | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
four defenders, able to hold them off. That's where he wants the ball | :25:53. | :25:59. | |
in that airate pitch. He's going quite -- that area of the pitch. | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
They will be pleased with that result compared to last year where | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
they didn't really perform down there. They'll be happeny enough. | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
That keeps their run going a bit too, without getting beat at home, | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
crucial. Ross County supporters will be happy with the fulltime score | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
line from Ibrox, because it has finished there Rangers 0, Ross | :26:18. | :26:24. | |
County 0. Richard, that's Rangers third draw. They've won just two | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
matches in the opening games. Not the most inspiring of starts. No, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
they've struggled a bit this season. I think even Mark Warburton would | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
acknowledge that the summer signings have come in and haven't quite | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
fitted the system the way he likes to play. Rangers play with a high | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
press, a lot of pace and tempo in the team. The players coming in have | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
slowed that down. Rangers have lost some of the identity they built up | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
last season, lost their confidence a bit in front of goal. I think why | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
that's such a set back today is not so much the result last week when | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
they lost heavily in the Old Firm game, but they're away to Aberdeen | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
in the league, then Partick Thistle, then Inverness and Hearts. This is a | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
tough period. At home in front of your own crowd not scoring a goal, | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
drawing the game, I think, it's going to be tough. I said at the | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
start of the season, I thought this year Rangers needed to settle into | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
the league. They've been out of it for so long, coming back up. The I | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
know the perception of the fans, they should be up there challenging | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
Celtic. I don't think that should be the case. I think this year they've | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
got to settle in. Obviously, being in the top six, of course. If | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
they're out of that, that would be a disaster all together. Be in there, | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
maybe in third, fourth place and settle themselves down and then | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
build on that. I don't think they're looking at events last week, I don't | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
think they should be up there in any way challenging Celtic at the | :27:52. | :27:54. | |
moment. Queen of the South are at the top of the championship. Let's | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
find out details of their match today. 3-1 at home to Raith Rovers. | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
Stephen Dobey proved the difference with a second half double to | :28:06. | :28:11. | |
kickstart the win. The striker proving a talisman with his return | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
to the club. He fired them in front early in the second half. He raced | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
to a through ball from Anderson to calmly slot it into the net. He | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
added a second 15 minutes later. Curling a delightful strike into the | :28:25. | :28:30. | |
net from 20 yards. Dean Brotherton put the result beyond doubt. But a | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
bullet header from the corner was just a consolation for Raith Rovers | :28:35. | :28:40. | |
at the end. Let's head to Dunbarton then in the | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
championship. At home to St Mirren this afternoon. It finished 1-1. | :28:45. | :28:52. | |
Dunbarton might feel they should have had all three points here. The | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
home side opening the score after 15 minutes. Stirling found the back of | :28:57. | :29:04. | |
the net with his right foot. It took Saints till just before halftime to | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
reply. Ryan Hardy was there to nod home. In the second half, Dumbarton | :29:10. | :29:13. | |
were unlucky through Robert Thompson, who was the stand-out | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
player for the home side. His best chance coming on the hour. A great | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
ball over the top, chested down, turned, but Gallacher in goal with a | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
fabulous save. Saints stay bottom. The pressure mounting. That report | :29:27. | :29:34. | |
takes us nicely to the classified results round up: | :29:35. | :33:12. | |
entertaining. And plenty of entertainment | :33:13. | :33:22. | |
New leaders, Queen of the South. Hibs knocked off. St Mirren stay | :33:23. | :34:04. | |
bottom. Stenhousemuir still without a | :34:05. | :34:20. | |
victory. League 2... Manchester City, another resounding | :34:21. | :34:57. | |
victory. Chelsea lost last night. Set Hamilton, -- Southampton game in | :34:58. | :35:04. | |
hand. Blackburn off the foot of the table. | :35:05. | :35:32. | |
First win. It was a good day for St Johnstone, and the manager Tommy | :35:33. | :35:49. | |
Wright. Hard fought? I have said to the new Wales, that we can get | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
results, with quality goalkeeping, the new Wales, that we can get | :35:52. | :36:00. | |
the desire not to let the ball go in the net. Odd bit of quality. | :36:01. | :36:08. | |
Probably not enough. But hard fought win. Perfect. Clean sheet. And | :36:09. | :36:18. | |
perfect for the goalkeeper, what an afternoon for Zander Clarke? I have | :36:19. | :36:24. | |
said before, that I have got two number ones. That is rare. Over the | :36:25. | :36:34. | |
last six months, Zander has improved. The work he gets, the | :36:35. | :36:47. | |
experience, and I don't think there is a better young goalkeeper in | :36:48. | :36:54. | |
Scotland. Gordon Strachan was here today. He can only go away | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
impressed. Certainly something that should be closing in on that score. | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
You mentioned the fact that your seem more than capable getting those | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
results, the will to win is incredible? We have got it in a | :37:11. | :37:21. | |
bottle. How we get it? Good people, staff, attitude. Work hard. And it | :37:22. | :37:29. | |
is a good dressing room. No egos. Everybody, equal. They would die for | :37:30. | :37:42. | |
each other. Tommy Wright, praising Zander Clarke. Absolutely. All the | :37:43. | :37:52. | |
defenders like clean sheets. Today, it looked as though they had got | :37:53. | :37:58. | |
absolutely pummelled, but the goalkeeper produced some heroics. He | :37:59. | :38:07. | |
has done well. And when you have a manager that is also former | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
goalkeeper, giving you that praise, there's going to be on a high. And | :38:12. | :38:22. | |
Dave Mackay has sadly had to retire. But touching tribute today? When | :38:23. | :38:31. | |
they scored they grabbed a jersey with his name. The camera panned to | :38:32. | :38:41. | |
him and he actually looked embarrassed, but that is the sort of | :38:42. | :38:48. | |
person that he is, low key, led them to the Scottish Cup and we spoke | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
about that almost meeting the decision easier, because he has had | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
that moment. Looking to move into coaching. Still one match that is | :38:56. | :39:01. | |
going to be played at the Scottish Championship, between Falkirk and | :39:02. | :39:11. | |
Dundee United. 5.15. Evening. This was always going to be important for | :39:12. | :39:19. | |
two of the teams with hopes of promotion, but after that result at | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
Easter Road this afternoon it is a crucial challenge for them to take | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
advantage and try to close the gap. The Dundee United manager has been | :39:28. | :39:32. | |
satisfied with his recent performances, winning at Dunfermline | :39:33. | :39:37. | |
and just one change to that team. That is after Dickson was sent off. | :39:38. | :39:47. | |
Robson takes over. Falkirk also won at Fife last weekend. 2-1. Peter | :39:48. | :39:57. | |
Houston keeps faith, his first game in charge against his former club. | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
Both of those teams, going into this after a shaky start? But good recent | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
form? I think they are going to see the importance of winning this, | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
closing the gap on Hibs. It was always going to be difficult for | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
Falkirk, it was almost exceptional season, in terms of the consistency | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
but for Dundee and dated, it is a rebuilding job. -- United. He has | :40:24. | :40:29. | |
got to start building consistency, if they are going to challenge. They | :40:30. | :40:36. | |
need to go back up. The competition, building at the Championship. We are | :40:37. | :40:43. | |
going to go back to Perth. Robbie Neilson. I would assume, you are | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
scratching your head, wondering how you have lost? That is football. I | :40:50. | :40:57. | |
have spoken to the players, and we had some fantastic chances, didn't | :40:58. | :41:06. | |
take them. But some things you have got to accept that, I would rather | :41:07. | :41:11. | |
play like that than go direct. It was dominant? We played well, but | :41:12. | :41:21. | |
that is football. We are hungry and energetic. Robbie there. Cut off. He | :41:22. | :41:33. | |
mentioned that he has got an energetic team. Seven Scots in the | :41:34. | :41:39. | |
line up. That could surprise people, after having so many foreign | :41:40. | :41:48. | |
players. They have got Mickelson, Tony Watt, and he is going to get | :41:49. | :41:57. | |
the reward. They have treated so many chances, but not converting, | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
lost the game. Thank you. Time is up. Almost! I can go through the | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
results again. Four goals for Moult at Motherwell. | :42:08. | :42:32. | |
Rangers drawing a blank! And at the Championship, big news, Queen of the | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
South top the table. Ayr United beating Hibs. Falkirk and Dundee | :42:37. | :42:53. | |
United this evening. Highlights of the matches tomorrow at six. Guests | :42:54. | :43:03. | |
are Pat Nevin and Steven Thompson. I will be back next week, with the | :43:04. | :43:13. | |
results, but more post match chat and a lot more on Off The ball. Jane | :43:14. | :43:28. | |
Lewis, not Stuart this week. Thanks for watching. See you soon. | :43:29. | :43:36. |
