Good afternoon and welcome to the Results Show. | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
I'm a bit nervous this week because the producer's asked | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
the Dundee United Chairman Stephen Thompson to critique | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
I think he might have other things on his mind! | :00:23. | :00:30. | |
Our reporters are on their toes too, keeping us informed with updates, | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
reports and results, while our studio guests are ready | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
to enlighten and entertain us - as ever. | :00:36. | :00:37. | |
They are Stuart Cosgrove and former Dundee United and Celtic defender | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
Where shall we stop off first, I wonder? | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
Celtic Park, it will be, where the champions are at home to Inverness | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
Caledonian Thistle. Chris McLauchlan is there. 2-0 Celtic. A good old | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
game of two hearths. The champions were poor in the first period. | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
Inverness Caledonian Thistle with all other chances two quick goals | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
from Mackay-Steven and Griffiths have settled the crowd. Down to the | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
bottom club, they are at home to Hearts. It would not be Saturday | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
afternoon without the voice of Brian McLauchlan. 1-1. Guy Demel | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
deservedly gave Dundee United the lead, and McGee was sent off for | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Hearts. Jamie Walker scored three minutes into the second half. It | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
could go either way, at Tannadice. Richard Wilson is watching St | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Johnstone against Motherwell. There is nothing between them at the | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
moment. Both scored in the first half, Louis Moult for Motherwell, | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
and then Wotherspoon equalising. All to play for. Victoria Park, Scott | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Davie is watching Ross County at home to Hamilton. 1-1 year as well. | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Alex Schalk with his first league goal for Ross County. Hamilton had | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
been on top. They have been on top in the second half, especially after | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Jamie record was sent off. -- Jamie Reckord. Dougie Imrie headed his | :02:15. | :02:23. | |
second goal of the season. I wonder if John Barnes can continue the | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
trend? Not so far, goal this year. Kill Marnoch started lively with | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
their new manager in charge. He's getting his Premiership baptism, Lee | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
Clark. Dundee had a shot turned away seconds ago by Jamie MacDonald. Two | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
goal-line clearances from Dundee defenders, but still 0-0. We can | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
hear from Kenny Crawford in the Championship, watching Morton at | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
home to Falkirk. It is 1-0 to Falkirk. Morton unbeaten in their | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
last three matches, John Baird's first-half strike put Falkirk closer | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
to the win. Let's start at Celtic, hitting Inverness with a couple of | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
what you could term sucker punches? It seems that way, we were listening | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
to the commentary. It seemed Inverness were on top for most of | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the game. In usual terms, you would say that was incredible. At the way | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
Celtic are playing, it seems to be the norm. Counterattacking side? It | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
seems to be a tactic that works against Celtic. There was boos at | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
half-time. They came out and scored a couple of goals to settle them. | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
Stuart, are you happy with how things are proceeding at McDiarmid | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
Park? A tight game, any of the two teams could win. It's important that | :03:53. | :03:59. | |
St Johnstone get back on the saddle. Tough fixtures? We have tough | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
fixtures, Celtic and Aberdeen are the gains we have lost. We drew with | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
Hearts. We need to get a win today. A draw would not be disastrous. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Stuart is on the edge of his seat, watching the pictures coming in. You | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
have been keeping an eye over Dundee United against Hearts. You were | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
impressed with the way United started the game? The same old story | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
for them? It seemed the best way around the scrap, to get your | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
chairman to come out and give you a rifling in the press. United came | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
out and were all over Hearts. Hit the post, had great chances, scored | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
the goal. Once again, they have conceded and looks like it could go | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
either way. Hearts down to ten men, you would fancy United? They are | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
playing well. Doesn't the manager set them up to play with ten men? | :04:51. | :04:59. | |
Ross County and Hamilton, 1-1. A real sticky run? I think this game | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
and the St Johnstone Motherwell game are indicative of how tight the | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
middle of the league is. Anybody that gets a win is looking to | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
qualify for Europe, if Celtic win the cup, the fourth place becomes a | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
European place and then you are smiling. If you lose, you are | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
worried about dropping into the play-off position or whatever. I've | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
never known the league being so tight as it is. Your players will be | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
loving that? I'm not so sure. Like you say, they are going for a | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
European spot, but looking over their shoulder and saying they could | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
be in the play-off spot. Looking for the clause in their contract, | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
saying, if you get relegated... Kilmarnock, new manager, 0-0 against | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Dundee. They seemed to have steadied the ship a little bit? A new | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
manager, at this point in time, a good thing, to get that kick start | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
up and running. But Dundee were so impressive earlier in the season. | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
There has been another goal, is it for Ross County or Hamilton? It is | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
for Ross County. The ten men, going in front with just over 12 minutes | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
to go. A magnificent free kick from the left edge of the penalty box. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Ian McShane, around the wall and beyond the despairing dive of | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
McGovern, the former Ross County goalkeeper, Michael McGovern. That | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
will be a real blow to Hamilton, who had dominated, territorially, in the | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
second half, after Jamie Reckord was sent off at the start of the second | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
half for a last man challenge one Dougie Imrie. Dougie Imrie was | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
looking through to have a goal-scoring opportunity, the right | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
decision to issue the red card. Hamilton, laying siege to the Ross | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
County goal from that moment on. They have fallen behind, probably | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
slightly against the run of play. It has been a frustrating afternoon for | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
the Accies. Right on the start of half-time, a Richard Foster free | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
kick, played into the penalty area, Davies headed on, and the first | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
league goal for the Dutchman. After the dismissal of Reckord, various | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
chances, a goal-line block from the captain of Ross County, Paul Quinn. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
A shot from Crawford, fizzing past the post. Dougie Imrie getting his | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
third goal of the season. It was deserved, the pressure had been | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
playing. The ball was played across by Kurtaj. There have been a couple | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
of chances for Hamilton to take the lead. MacShane, a beautiful effort | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
that you will want to see on sports scene tomorrow. Unless you are a | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
Hamilton Accies supporter, I suppose! Time to check in with Chris | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
at Celtic Park. No further goals, but as I said, it really has been | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
that classic game of two halves. Celtic with the majority of the | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
pressure on the first half, but did absolutely next to nothing with it. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
One tame effort from Leigh Griffiths. Inverness, a shot just | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
over the bar, Draper shot just wide. Guy Warren had an open goal, free | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
header, absolute sitter from a free kick on the left-hand side. He | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
nodded it just past the post. As Mark Wilson said, the half-time | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
whistle was met with a chorus of boos, Celtic fans extremely | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
restless. Two minutes after the break, Roberts, one-on-one with | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
Craig Gordon, should have scored, but his shot hit off the Celtic | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
number one. Two quickfire goals, Gary Mackay-Steven, after some neat | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
interplay inside the box, and a typical Leigh Griffiths goal, a low | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
drive. Celtic in driving seat. You would think, with 18 minutes on the | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
clock, they would go six points clear of Aberdeen at the top. Time | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
to hear from Brian MacLachlan. He is at Tannadice, where Dundee United | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
are at home to Hearts. This is a game that United should have put | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
about by half-time. They dominated the opening five -- 45 minutes. The | :09:19. | :09:30. | |
save from that header after 70 minutes was absolutely stunning. A | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
real contender for save of the season. And then he did it all | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
again. This time it was Guy Demel, a quick free kick taken down the | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
right-hand side. It was destined for the bottom corner. But Alexander | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
dived low to the left-hand side. The goal did come, Corner, again, there | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
was Guy Demel, bullet header into the back of the net. Add to that, | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
Hearts entered the half with ten men, after Jordan McGee received two | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
yellow cards. The second one, the boot was high, dodgy if it was a | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
yellow card or not. Anyway, the referee was a few yards away and | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
thought it was a second yellow. Hearts came back into the game three | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
minutes into the second half. Slack play at the back by United. With a | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
stunning finish by Jamie Walker. The ball, looping high into the air, | :10:22. | :10:30. | |
hammered it beyond Kawashima made to the back of the net. The tendon of | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Hearts have done well in the second half. United should have had this | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
won already. Won a piece, is it all square at McDiarmid Park? It is. A | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
grimly competitive game. Lots of competitive effort, but little in | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
the way of chances. Scott McDonald had to pull out of the starting | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
line-up. He was replaced by Fletcher, and the other striker, | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Louis Moult, took the responsibility to get the goal. He opened the | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
scoring, rising high in the penalty area, to head home. He also headed a | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
free kick over the bar in the second half. Forcing Johnston, very little | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
in the way of attacking threat. They equalised through David Wotherspoon. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
A swerving shot seemed to catch Ripley unawares. Tommy Wright was | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
recently brought on as a substitute to go front. They should have | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
fashioned a second for St Johnstone moments earlier. Liam Craig steered | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
his volley wide of the upright. Rugby Park, John Barnes is watching | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
the match between Kilmarnock and Dundee. Still goalless? Still | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
goalless between these two. Josh Magennis fires the ball, claiming it | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
came off his hand, but I think it came off his head to make the | :11:54. | :12:01. | |
clearance. Fast and Furious. Good football from both sides. Lee Clark | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
looking for his first victory as the new Kilmarnock boss. A couple of | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
good chances from corner kicks. Gary Dicker latching onto a cross, and | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
another one, McGuinness, getting onto the end of a header that was | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
cleared off the line by Nick Ross. A Slater free kick almost caught out | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
Scott Bain. But the keeper managed to flick it away. As far as Dundee | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
are concerned, their best chance came from Loy, but he put it over | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
the crossbar. Dundee have been lively, they have come out and the | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
manager must have said something at half-time. A couple of efforts well | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
saved by Jamie MacDonald. Another great save to deny Paul McGowan. At | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
the moment, Harkins is coming off. Craig Wighton is coming on. Kenny | :12:52. | :13:08. | |
Crawford, the details? It was John Baird that scored for the Bairns. He | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
stayed calm and used his experience to slot it into the far corner. | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Declan McManus hit the bar for Morton. Morton have pushed more in | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
the second half, but they have not had anything to show for it. I'm | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
feeling a bit sorry for the Falkirk fans, uncovered in the away end, | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
getting drenched. Let me add, in the age of this multicultural football, | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
we have just had a Falkirk substitute, Bob McCue come on, I am | :13:40. | :13:51. | |
pretty sure he is Scottish. Let's reflect on the action. Celtic, 2-0 | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
up, not playing that well. It is to be that was the stuff of champions, | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
grinding out wins when you are not playing well. Now you get booed? Is | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
to be, when Rangers were in the league. Who cares how you play as | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
long as you get the three points? Now there is no Old Firm rivalry, | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
there needs to be something happening on the pitch. It's not | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
good enough to just win, they need to be entertained. You are not | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
bothered with entertainment? People would argue that with the Old Firm | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
in the league, there should be entertainment as well, not that they | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
should grind of eating out. We are in a situation where there was a lot | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
of nervous football around, nobody wants to drop into the play-off | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
place. I think we are in an era were the teams, everything seems | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
marginal, with the exception maybe Celtic at the top. You know just | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
about anybody can get a result against anybody. All of those fine | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
margins. I think it has led to competitive games, but also very | :14:57. | :14:57. | |
nervous games. The top two in the Championship play | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
on Sunday this week. But not, repeat not, | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
against each other. But there's still plenty | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
to get excited about. Second placed Hibernian are at home | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
to the bottom club Alloa, while the leaders Rangers are away | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
to Queen of the South. First off, Hibs versus Alloa | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
at Easter Road. A match Hibs go into | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
following their Scottish Cup win over arch rivals Hearts | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
on Tuesday night. This will fill them with great | :15:24. | :15:34. | |
fettle. Yes. Derbys left the club. Those should be a good feel around | :15:35. | :15:48. | |
Hibs. They had the chance to catch up on Rangers and blew it. Alloa | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
created one chance and scored. It is going to be a tough afternoon. Alloa | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
held Rangers to a 1-1 draw on this controversial surface. Not this is | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
our lead because it is artificial but because of the narrowing of the | :16:07. | :16:15. | |
pitch. -- necessarily. The advantage tomorrow in the advantage of Hibs at | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Easter Road. You would think so. Alloa showed a drop in performance | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
against Rangers. It was towards the end that Rangers came into it | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
through the former St Johnstone legend -- 80 nations performance. | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
Rangers and Alloa have probe it. Nobody is guaranteed a win. I do not | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
think anybody is going into these games thinking it is a definite. | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
Alloa have rallied. He is a good coach. He speaks very well. He | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
instantly get the respect from players. He has done a good job. It | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
is a tough job at Easter Road. Hibs have not lost their all season. | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
Rangers go into this on the back of an impressive win, the Cup replay | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
midweek against Kilmarnock. I am one of the thousands that watched this | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
via an app. I thought it was a pretty decent game and comfortable | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
in the end for Rangers. Their fans will be racking up the various | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
victor these they are getting against Premiership clubs in order | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
to act you are the keys they are ready for their move up and can | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
convert to the league above. Rangers in action on an artificial surface. | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
The game against Alloa was on an artificial surface. Tomorrow is on | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
the plastic of Palmerston. So it's once more unto | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
the artificial surface for Rangers, Now, their last outing on a manmade | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
surface left more than friction burns, it's created | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
a right old rammy. With Rangers manager Mark Warburton | :18:16. | :18:17. | |
blaming it for Martyn Waghorn's season threatening injury | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
and declaring there's no place for plastic in the Premiership, | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
does that mean it's okay I do not think that is what he had | :18:22. | :18:31. | |
in mind. What did you make of this? Mark Warburton is right. I do not | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
think they should be allowed in the top league. I do not think you can | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
blame certain injuries on the plastic pitches. The aches and pains | :18:40. | :18:45. | |
you get after it, it takes days to recover. That is why this game is | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
going to be interesting for Rangers because the third game on a plastic | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
pitch and we can they old guys like Kenny Miller, how are the legs and | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
the joints going into this? Do you think this is a storm in a tea Cup? | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
It has clearly angered Kilmarnock fans and their chairman and board of | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
directors. They are staying like might have gone down but he got up | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
quick enough to take the penalty and he's good. He was fit enough to run | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
and celebrate. -- he scored. I do not think it needs an operation but | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
it is certainly going to rule them out for the rest of the season. When | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
people pick up injuries inevitably the club are going to complain | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
whatever. This is a debate we are going to have a time yet. There has | :19:38. | :19:47. | |
been a goal. A significant one. At Tannadice, between Dundee United and | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Hearts. What a strike. The goal has come for Dundee United. 30 yards out | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
on the volley giving Neil Alexander absolutely no chance. 90 seconds | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
left of play at Tannadice. This is the lifeline United have been | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
looking for. We may return to plastic pitches but I will put this | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
to you, is that the lifeline Dundee United have been looking for? Can | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
they lift themselves out of relegation? No. Last week when they | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
put together that run and won against Kilmarnock and do at | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
Hamilton I thought there might go on the right way but the defeat against | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
Motherwell has consigned them to the Championship. The goals are flooding | :20:38. | :20:45. | |
in. I am not sure why will first. McDermott Park. | :20:46. | :20:56. | |
In the 90th minute at McDiarmid Park, in the penalty area, converted | :20:57. | :21:06. | |
past the keeper. It looks as if St Johnstone will all three points, | :21:07. | :21:17. | |
2-1. Goal at Celtic Park. Griffiths has made it 3-0 to Celtic. That is | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
the final whistle at Celtic Park. Four number 32 of the season. | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
Another win for Celtic, but a less than convincing 90 minutes. | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
Mackay-Steven and Griffiths getting the goals. Celtic had the majority | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
of the possession in the first half but did pretty much nothing with it. | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
Warren heading past the post. A sitter. Roberts found himself | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
one-on-one with Gordon after the restart. He failed to capitalise. | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
The goal the Celtic Park Road had been craving. In from eight yards. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
Griffiths got the second five minutes later. A neat finish. | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
Roberts came off the bench and laid on and provided some guile. Celtic | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
six points clear of second placed Aberdeen. The fans heading home | :22:23. | :22:32. | |
happy -ish. I believe there has been a red card at Tannadice. Drama. Less | :22:33. | :22:40. | |
than 90 seconds to go. Any year receiving his second yellow card | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
since coming on as a sub the jute -- Anier. United down to nine players | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
because one of the players is off with the cut to his head. The fourth | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
official has not put the board up yet. Rugby Park, full-time. Ended | :22:56. | :23:10. | |
goalless. Clark's first match in charge. It could prove a vital point | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
in the end. But a very lively indeed with some good football but could | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
not find the back of the net. Three good chances in the first half, a | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
volley over the top then Slater had a free kick from the left and the | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
keeper turned it wide and McGuinness had a terrific header from a corner | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
cleared off the line by Ross at the back post. Dundee's only real chance | :23:37. | :23:49. | |
fell to Loy reflected over the crossbar. Dundee came out lively. | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
Producing some excellent saves by McDonald in the Kilmarnock goal. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
Dundee almost won it at the end of the last minute. Conrad up for a set | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
piece into the back post, the head are drifting wide of the left hand | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
post. A vital point for Kilmarnock. Dundee unbeaten in the last five. | :24:18. | :24:31. | |
Full-time in Dingwall. A hammer blow for Hamilton who played with a man | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
advantage for 44 minutes in the second half after Reckord had been | :24:36. | :24:46. | |
sent off for denying a clear goal scoring opportunity. A spectacular | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
effort in the League Cup semifinal victory against Celtic at Hampden. A | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
pretty insipid 45 minutes. It's brightened up for a few minutes | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
prior when Hamilton began to dominate territorially and create | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
one or two chances. Fox damaged himself colliding with someone | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
trying to clear a shot. The ball broke to Crawford. I do not think he | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
relies the goal was unguarded. He tried to be cute and get it into the | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
top corner and it went wide. That started a dismal afternoon as far as | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
chances were concerned for Hamilton. On the interval, up for the set | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
piece, Schalk headed it into the back of the net. After the dismissal | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
of Reckord Hamilton poured forward, Quinn stopping a shot on the line | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
contested by the Hamilton players. The assistant referee was in line I | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
decided the ball had not crossed the line. -- and decided. Fox with a | :26:00. | :26:09. | |
couple of magnificent saves. Crawford as well. His resistance was | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
broken. From the left-hand side with the cross and in re headed in his | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
sixth goal of the season. It looked as if Hamilton would go, continuing | :26:22. | :26:30. | |
to push forward. A couple of headers going wide. McShane on the | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
counterattack winning a free kick and from just outside the box | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
getting it into the top corner to give Ross County a vital win and | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
keep Hamilton down with one win in 11 games going into a game against | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
Celtic next week. Full-time at McDiarmid Park. This is one of those | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
games you get at this time of the season when the points are so | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
precious to both sides they end up being tense and conservative. | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
Motherwell opening the scoring. Moult headed home McFadden's corner. | :27:08. | :27:16. | |
There was a couple of chances for both sides in the second half and it | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
looked as if it would be 1-1 but Miller's free kick was headed home, | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
a precious goal for St Johnstone, ending a run of seven games without | :27:27. | :27:34. | |
a victory for them. Tannadice, the whistle has sounded. Lots of drama. | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
Lots of drama but more importantly for United a valuable three points | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
to try to ease their way from relegation. 2-1 winners over Hearts | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
this afternoon. Leading at half-time thanks to a magnificent header. | :27:57. | :27:59. | |
Alexander pulling off some wonder saves in the first half to keep | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
Hearts in the game. Ended up with ten men after Magee was sent off. | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
They came back into the game thanks to a magnificent strike from Walker. | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
United poured more and more men forward later and had a magnificent | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
strike from 25 yards out to give Alexander no chance. Substitute | :28:22. | :28:32. | |
Anier was shown his second yellow card towards the end. Hearts pile | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
more men forward. Could not find a way through. United held on for the | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
victory. How pivotal could this be at the end of the season? I will | :28:43. | :28:50. | |
have to tell him I ask the questions! How did it finish? An | :28:51. | :29:03. | |
important win for Falkirk, their first since the 2nd of January when | :29:04. | :29:10. | |
they beat Alloa. Their first win in six attempts. A goal which showed | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
all of Baird's know-how and experience. He outmuscled the | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
defender and sorted it into the far corner. Both teams hit the bar and | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
there was a bad injury that gave us eight minutes of added time to the | :29:25. | :29:32. | |
autumn born player from Norwich -- on loan. | :29:33. | :29:40. | |
Staying in the Championship, the match between St Mirren and | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
Dumbarton has finished. Not the best of games here at the 2021 stadium, | :29:45. | :29:52. | |
but an important three points. A poor first half, with both sets of | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
players seemingly going through the motions. The game burst into life on | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
the 63rd minute, with Shankland losing his marker in the box to | :30:01. | :30:07. | |
smash home the opener. The home side should have had their second, with | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
Stuart finding Clarkson at the back post. The striker, lacking | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
composure, blasted over the bar. That was it in terms of goals and | :30:17. | :30:21. | |
chances in a game that was far from a classic. But if St Mirren have | :30:22. | :30:24. | |
aspirations of making the play-off, they will have to play better than | :30:25. | :30:32. | |
they did today. It finished 1-0. That report takes us to the | :30:33. | :30:34. | |
classified results round-up. Let's see how the footballing gods | :30:35. | :33:54. | |
have shuffled the pack. Hearts lost to Dundee United, the | :33:55. | :34:11. | |
bottom club, but they have cut the deficit between them and Kilmarnock. | :34:12. | :34:14. | |
Kilmarnock have a game in hand. St Mirren's win takes them five | :34:15. | :34:38. | |
clear of Dumbarton and just one point behind Morton. | :34:39. | :34:44. | |
Another win for Dunfermline, they beat the bottom club, | :34:45. | :34:58. | |
just a point between East Fife and Elgin City. | :34:59. | :35:16. | |
Hull City were in FA Cup action but stay at the top. Burnley have played | :35:17. | :35:25. | |
one match more. Bolton Wanderers move off the bottom of the table. | :35:26. | :35:30. | |
They picked up a point this afternoon. Charlton Athletic are the | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
new black markers on the table. Rather United are the other team in | :35:35. | :35:36. | |
the bottom three. Let's get details of the FA Cup | :35:37. | :35:44. | |
matches. The holders, Arsenal, were at home to the Championship leaders, | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
Hull City. Arsene Wenger said yesterday he doesn't think FA Cup | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
replays should be scrapped. It is the law of Murphy that the very next | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
tie he has goes to a replay. It does not suit Hull City, either. Their | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
star man was their goalkeeper and a series of saves, the pick of them | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
tipping a Campbell free kick onto the post. Generally, Hull defended | :36:12. | :36:16. | |
well against Arsenal's much changed team. | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
No replay needed for Reading. We have just seen Olsen having an | :36:20. | :36:29. | |
argument with the referee, too late and too little. The mind goes back | :36:30. | :36:34. | |
to what Tony Pulis said. He and his staff spent a lot of this week | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
making sure his players knew how important this game was. Not just in | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
terms of making progress in the FA Cup, but for the rest of the season. | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
Build on this, click on, you have glory, possibly, as much as putting | :36:46. | :36:51. | |
in a shift. At 1-0 up, they probably thought they did it after 53 | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
minutes. But in the second half, Reading came back. 3-1, it was as if | :36:56. | :37:04. | |
West Brom had given up. The defence was bedraggled and absolutely | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
nowhere. The penalty area was deserted. Ben Foster, no chance. | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
Reading go through to the quarterfinals. Six years ago was | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
their first appearance in 43 years. They are into the quarterfinals | :37:18. | :37:18. | |
again. Jacqui Oatley was watching Watford | :37:19. | :37:28. | |
at home to Leeds United. It has finished 1-0. Watford into the | :37:29. | :37:31. | |
quarterfinals for the first time in nine years. They deserved it. They | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
dominated the match, despite making six changes. They created the better | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
chances. Watson was the instigator of virtually all of them. He played | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
a key role in the winner, his ball in from the right-hand side looked | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
to have evaded everybody and was going nowhere until Scott Wood and | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
decided to make absolutely sure and guided behind. Instead, it sliced | :37:53. | :38:00. | |
off his skin and into the post. -- Wootton had it sliced off his shin. | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
There were moments of pace, but they couldn't make the approach play | :38:06. | :38:09. | |
matter where it is counted. We barely saw Pantilimon. One of the | :38:10. | :38:22. | |
stories of the week was Arsene Wenger saying time to scrap replays, | :38:23. | :38:26. | |
Fate hits him in the face with the old wet sock and he gets one? Exacta | :38:27. | :38:31. | |
what he doesn't want. I think you should scrap replays. I understand | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
the smaller teams get a bit of cash from the replay. But I think it | :38:37. | :38:40. | |
would give excitement to the fans, extra time, penalty shoot outs. I | :38:41. | :38:44. | |
think it would be a good thing, in the Scottish Cup as well. You love a | :38:45. | :38:52. | |
replay? I do. I feel that football is at its best when it is emotional. | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
We see scenes from Tannadice, Dundee United, at the bottom of the | :38:57. | :39:01. | |
division, taking a lap of honour because of that victory. Fantastic, | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
a great goal. You can see the highlights of the game, that is why | :39:06. | :39:08. | |
people love paying to go to live football matches. You have taken me | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
back seamlessly to the Premiership. We start with Dundee United. I put | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
this to you, it shows you a good tongue lashing in public can do | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
something? You would think so, you wonder if he would stick his head | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
around the door. Does he praised them? Will he say, well done? I'm | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
not so sure. United were worthy of the points. Again, they concede, and | :39:32. | :39:38. | |
they looked a bit shaky. And what a goal to win it. 11 points adrift, | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
with a game in hand? Does not look great for them. But that win today, | :39:44. | :39:52. | |
when you see it, you see Paul Paton's goal, he is running to the | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
hands and kissing the badge, there was a glory to that goal, it will | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
give the whole dressing room a boost. I hope we are at the | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
beginning of a great escape, it would be fantastic. Who would you | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
like to see them replaced by at the bottom? The list is too long! The | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
win for St Johnstone, really important? Ie in Europe again? Very | :40:16. | :40:27. | |
important, came at the death. He's making a habit of scoring? He is, he | :40:28. | :40:36. | |
lost his marker. At the end of the report, he said very important | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
points for St Johnstone. Going into the game, he told me it was a six | :40:42. | :40:47. | |
pointer. I want all six! Disappointment for Inverness. Other | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
start, were saying, they have played 24, won eight, lost eight, bang in | :40:53. | :40:59. | |
the middle of the table, they have gone down to seventh. Only four | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
points from the relegation play-off spot. It is incredible. One minute | :41:04. | :41:09. | |
you are looking up the table, one defeat and you are looking behind | :41:10. | :41:11. | |
you. John Hughes will be disappointed. Like we heard in | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
commentary, Inverness were creating the better chances, playing better | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
football and did not take their chances. When you go to Celtic Park, | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
you have to take your chances and they were punished. Imagine you were | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
a Celtic fan today and you had been booing your team at half-time. You | :41:27. | :41:34. | |
go home and reflect on a 3-0 win, six points clear, do you feel a bit | :41:35. | :41:41. | |
guilty? You should do. But football fans are hypocrites, guys that were | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
booing at half-time, they will be in bars eulogising how great they are. | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
That is the nature of football fans. Human emotion. Kilmarnock, goalless | :41:52. | :41:58. | |
at home to Dundee. On the surface, not a great result. Bear in mind the | :41:59. | :42:01. | |
last time Dundee were there, they thrashed them 4-0? That is the | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
thing. A decent start for Lee Clark. The big thing is not to lose your | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
first game and don't concede. They kept a clean sheet. Did they went | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
down and hammered them at the start of the season. Dundee are very much | :42:15. | :42:21. | |
in form. I think Dundee are actually the decent team in the middle of the | :42:22. | :42:24. | |
division. I saw them on Friday night, beating St Johnstone, | :42:25. | :42:30. | |
comfortably. I think Kilmarnock will be looking at that and saying it is | :42:31. | :42:35. | |
a great point won. A good result for Ross County. At one stage, you're | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
thinking they are in a bit of trouble. Now they have consolidated | :42:40. | :42:47. | |
it, in fourth. Just what you want. After the club performances, doing | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
pretty well, they have slumped to a feud defeats. Just what you want, | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
getting another home win. They are so impressive, difficult to beat. | :42:56. | :43:01. | |
That is down to what they have done, consolidated that. I think they do | :43:02. | :43:03. | |
well towards the end of games. If this were a match, | :43:04. | :43:06. | |
the fourth official would be holding up a board with an electronic number | :43:07. | :43:09. | |
one on it because we're into time added on for some | :43:10. | :43:12. | |
promotional materials. Jonathan Sutherland invites | :43:13. | :43:14. | |
