Yes, good afternoon and welcome to the results show as this, the day of

:00:17.:00:23.

the Premiership title, is officially won. You will find out on this show.

:00:24.:00:28.

And you will also find out if it isn't won. Darren Jackson and Stuart

:00:29.:00:33.

Cosgrove are here. Welcome. Let's cut to the chase. A better result

:00:34.:00:37.

for Celtic against Hearts and Aberdeen get against Motherwell is

:00:38.:00:42.

enough for Celtic to be champions. Aberdeen- Motherwell is underway but

:00:43.:00:46.

Hearts against Celtic was the lunchtime kick-off. Let's find out

:00:47.:00:50.

what happened. Liam McLeod was at Tynecastle. Ronny Deila said, if

:00:51.:00:57.

Celtic won this, they would celebrate title triumph even if it

:00:58.:01:00.

couldn't be officially confirmed at Tynecastle, and he was as good as

:01:01.:01:04.

his word as they swatted Hearts aside 3-1. Richards got the party

:01:05.:01:11.

started with a close range finish. Hearts's that spell came at the

:01:12.:01:15.

start of the second is Dauda equalised. Defensive lapses saw

:01:16.:01:21.

Roberts and Griffiths capitalised, the latter scoring his 39th of the

:01:22.:01:27.

season. He has helped them to a 47 league Championship and a fifth on

:01:28.:01:30.

the grounds for just the fourth time in the history of the club. An

:01:31.:01:34.

emotional day for outgoing Celtic manager Ronny Deila, who becomes

:01:35.:01:38.

just the seventh Parkhead boss to win the title more than once. It

:01:39.:01:42.

couldn't be confirmed today but it could be if Aberdeen don't beat

:01:43.:01:46.

Motherwell at Pittodrie. Celtic deserved triumph. Let's find out

:01:47.:01:53.

what is happening at Pittodrie from Brian McLauchlin. Aberdeen -

:01:54.:02:01.

Motherwell. Aberdeen 3, Motherwell 1. Still 20 minutes to go. Aberdeen

:02:02.:02:05.

are cruising after a 3-goal lead after 54 minutes, Kenny McLean with

:02:06.:02:11.

a penalty, Niall McGinn with a sublime volley after 26 minutes.

:02:12.:02:16.

Adam Rooney, only on the pitch a matter of minutes before scoring. He

:02:17.:02:23.

is back in contention again. Number 24 the season for Adam Rooney.

:02:24.:02:26.

Motherwell are back into it thanks to a Taylor own goal. Safely into

:02:27.:02:31.

the arms of Aberdeen keeper Adam Colin. But Taylor stuck his head in

:02:32.:02:39.

the way. A scare for Aberdeen if few seconds ago. They looked certain to

:02:40.:02:46.

score, Motherwell, but fired wide of the target. It looks as if the

:02:47.:02:51.

champagne is on ice at Parkhead. Brian said the champagne is on ice.

:02:52.:02:55.

I don't think it is. I think the corks will be popping tonight unless

:02:56.:03:02.

Aberdeen score another 35 goals. They have won the Championship

:03:03.:03:07.

today, and credit to them. Stuart, the celebrations, the fans were

:03:08.:03:11.

delighted. People say it hasn't been a vintage season for Celtic, but the

:03:12.:03:15.

fans were celebrating, and so was Ronny. I think Ronnie was saying his

:03:16.:03:24.

farewells. Across the piece, they are the champions and deservedly so.

:03:25.:03:28.

What I would say is they will be Aberdeen fans tonight asking the

:03:29.:03:33.

question, what if? They were beaten in games that they might have won

:03:34.:03:37.

and they could have taken it to the wire. What if Adam Rooney and being

:03:38.:03:43.

out of the ten games, Danny Ward hadn't gone back to Liverpool. Two

:03:44.:03:48.

big players. If Danny Ward had stayed and Rooney had been fit, I've

:03:49.:03:53.

got no doubt they would have been in the nominations for players of the

:03:54.:03:58.

year. What if Hamilton beat Kilmarnock or vice versa? Jonathan

:03:59.:04:04.

Sutherland is there. A huge match. Victory for Hamilton today would

:04:05.:04:08.

consign Kilmarnock to the play-off places, but anything but. Rarely

:04:09.:04:12.

have Kilmarnock been better this season and this afternoon in the

:04:13.:04:20.

Hamilton sunshine. A great reward for the 1500 or so Kilmarnock fans

:04:21.:04:25.

who have made the trip. Their team have paid them back with a fine

:04:26.:04:29.

performance. They came flying out, Craig Slater with a cross, across

:04:30.:04:34.

his own crossbar. Michael McGovern saved well, but Greg Kiltie got on

:04:35.:04:41.

the scoresheet. Greg Kiltie found the back of the net with a great

:04:42.:04:46.

shot. Another moment of controversy, as Kilmarnock went 2-0 in front.

:04:47.:04:51.

Kris Boyd playing through Greg Kiltie, a hint of offside, but the

:04:52.:04:54.

officials said play on. Greg Kiltie showed great composure to make it

:04:55.:05:00.

2-0. The Hamilton fans not happy. A chance for Kilmarnock! Josh

:05:01.:05:06.

Magennis, as I speak, has made it 4-0, the ball going over the line.

:05:07.:05:13.

Josh Magennis has made it 4-0. It has been a brilliant day for

:05:14.:05:17.

Kilmarnock. Lucas handled the ball to give away a penalty. Kris Boyd

:05:18.:05:20.

make no mistake with the penalty. Josh Magennis has made it 4, right

:05:21.:05:27.

in front of this large Kilmarnock support. For once, something to

:05:28.:05:31.

cheer about for them. Let's find out who is cheering at Fir Hill, it's

:05:32.:05:39.

not Kenny Crawford. 79 minutes gone and I think you should be glad I'm

:05:40.:05:44.

still here, because many of the foam cache many of the home fans have

:05:45.:05:48.

gone, because Partick Thistle are losing. They have been absolutely

:05:49.:05:52.

nowhere in this match. Inverness have been all over their hosts this

:05:53.:05:57.

afternoon, scoring three goals. It all began in the 14th minute when

:05:58.:06:01.

Carl Tremarco, an unlikely scorer, burst down the left. A lovely finish

:06:02.:06:09.

inside his left foot by Carl Tremarco. It didn't get any better

:06:10.:06:13.

in the rest of the half. Partick Thistle haven't scored in the first

:06:14.:06:17.

half of a game at Fir Hill since January. 1-0 down at the break for

:06:18.:06:25.

made it 2-0, he's 12 of the season. made it 2-0, he's 12 of the season.

:06:26.:06:32.

-- Miles Storey. A tight angle, doubling Inverness's lead. Putting

:06:33.:06:38.

more misery on Partick Thistle. It has just become free in the last few

:06:39.:06:43.

minutes. Josh Meakin is the provider of the second goal. He got his own

:06:44.:06:48.

goal. He was up at a corner, side foot in the past the Partick Thistle

:06:49.:06:55.

goalkeeper. As I said, many of the home fans are blooming and many have

:06:56.:07:02.

left. Hang on in there. -- booing. Dingwall is our destination for Ross

:07:03.:07:07.

County against St Johnstone. I am hanging in there a bit. It is

:07:08.:07:12.

County against St Johnstone. I am one. Steven MacLean's second half

:07:13.:07:17.

strike looking like putting St Johnstone clear in fourth place in

:07:18.:07:21.

the Premiership. They deserve it without being brilliant. It came

:07:22.:07:24.

from a corner, Shaughnessy heading it down into the six yard box, and

:07:25.:07:29.

Steven MacLean getting in there and slotted home. It was a very flat

:07:30.:07:34.

encounter up until that point. Swanson had a very good chance but

:07:35.:07:39.

he put it into the side netting. St Johnstone have been the better side,

:07:40.:07:43.

Ross County offering very little. Probably the worst I have seen them

:07:44.:07:47.

all season. Very much in end of season feel with both chasing fourth

:07:48.:07:55.

place. Darren, a former Dundee United man, you are not too pleased

:07:56.:07:59.

at the events at New Douglas Park, a right pasting for Hamilton. They

:08:00.:08:08.

will be watching the pictures coming in and they deserve to be 4-0 up. I

:08:09.:08:13.

have to say, there were a couple of decisions, a penalty for Hamilton

:08:14.:08:19.

and the ball looked as though it had gone out of play. I didn't think the

:08:20.:08:24.

third goal was offside but, that aside, they have been excellent.

:08:25.:08:27.

They look as though they have been up for it. Hamilton have produced a

:08:28.:08:32.

performance like that against Dundee United last week, and they produced

:08:33.:08:36.

that today, that is why the manager has to go. It is curtains. I think

:08:37.:08:43.

it is pride as well. They can't go there and lose and get relegated by

:08:44.:08:48.

Dundee, but I'm sure the Dundee fans and players will be up for it. Let's

:08:49.:08:53.

go to Pittodrie. Let's hear from Brian McLauchlin. Another one for

:08:54.:08:59.

the Dons? Number of Aberdeen, Jonny Hayes with an amazing run, 30 yards,

:09:00.:09:04.

past the Motherwell defence, popping the ball over Ripley in the

:09:05.:09:11.

Motherwell goal to secure a valuable three point Aberdeen. They will

:09:12.:09:17.

finish in at least second place in businesses Premiership. Stuart, you

:09:18.:09:24.

are the man for the old counter hypothesis. If only they had played

:09:25.:09:31.

like that early in the season. Partick Thistle, who were very close

:09:32.:09:35.

to getting into the top six, are now getting sucked into the mire. Do you

:09:36.:09:41.

think they will get sucked in Mr Mock I don't know. I was applying a

:09:42.:09:46.

think they will get sucked in Mr counterfactual seeds -- thesis. The

:09:47.:09:51.

reality is that Hamilton are in deep trouble. A noisy crowd up from

:09:52.:09:56.

Kilmarnock and, of course, a great day for them, and I think they will

:09:57.:10:01.

now think, can we do something here, can we just about get out of this?

:10:02.:10:06.

Still a lots to play for. Is there a lot to play for? I am hearing there

:10:07.:10:14.

is another goal. Against the run of play, a gold for Partick Thistle. It

:10:15.:10:21.

is 1-3. Kris Doolan, the 11th of the season. A long free kick ended up

:10:22.:10:27.

somehow getting through to Kris Doolan, on and around the penalty

:10:28.:10:30.

spot. He had one attempt which Vaughan Williams saved. Slotted away

:10:31.:10:36.

quite easily. I think it is far too late. Would you believe, it is the

:10:37.:10:43.

final day of the Championship season tomorrow. Rangers won the title a

:10:44.:10:48.

while ago, but it is still game on for the runners-up spot. Finishing

:10:49.:10:51.

second means sitting out one round of play-offs. It is between Falkirk

:10:52.:10:57.

and Hibs for second. They are level on points, but Falkirk have the edge

:10:58.:11:03.

based on a better goal difference. If Falkirk beat Morton 1-0 and Hibs

:11:04.:11:09.

beat Queen of the South, both teams would be level on points. Kicks have

:11:10.:11:17.

the better record. One win and three draws in the four games. They would

:11:18.:11:23.

be ranked second place with Falkirk dropping to third spot. Have you got

:11:24.:11:25.

be ranked second place with Falkirk that, chaps? A 4-0 win isn't beyond

:11:26.:11:32.

the realms of possibility because Hibs did it in midweek against

:11:33.:11:36.

Dumbarton. They played well. They had an awful lot of people.

:11:37.:11:43.

Tomorrow, do they have anything to play for? Gavin Skelton will be

:11:44.:11:49.

expecting a good performance. Jim Duffy will always expect a good

:11:50.:11:54.

performance from Morton. Falkirk at home are exceptional. It looks as if

:11:55.:12:01.

it is in the hands of Falkirk. I think that they have the edge. It is

:12:02.:12:05.

a thin edge, but I think they do have the edge. That being said, what

:12:06.:12:10.

an end to the season this will be for Hibernian FC. They have been

:12:11.:12:15.

huffing and puffing at times, but they are going into a great season

:12:16.:12:20.

and they may end up with a Manager of the Year award. You wouldn't

:12:21.:12:27.

begrudge him that, would you? Of course, all of the nominations are

:12:28.:12:31.

worthy, but I am shocked Alan Stubbs isn't in there. Kenny Crawford, I am

:12:32.:12:38.

glad he has hung about at Fir Hill, because there is another goal. Is

:12:39.:12:41.

glad he has hung about at Fir Hill, for particle Inverness? -- Partick

:12:42.:12:49.

or Inverness. It was for Inverness. It was Jordan Roberts at the back

:12:50.:12:57.

post, slamming home across by the substitute. On the right-hand side,

:12:58.:13:02.

floating in a nice cross for Jordan Roberts to fire home. 4-1 with three

:13:03.:13:10.

minutes left. Ack to the Championship, and a wee look at the

:13:11.:13:18.

form guide. Falkirk, one win in the last five. They both seemed to

:13:19.:13:22.

stumble in the last couple of weeks. They have done that through the

:13:23.:13:27.

season, putting themselves in this position. Falkirk at home have been

:13:28.:13:31.

brilliant, and so have Hibs. It will be a great finish. You will be

:13:32.:13:39.

hoping that Hibs win and promoted so that Falkirk's Blair Alston hangs

:13:40.:13:44.

around and goes to St Johnstone. I am very much hoping he goes there! I

:13:45.:13:49.

don't show bias when it comes to Falkirk. I wish them well. We'll

:13:50.:13:57.

Hibs be distracted by the cup final? Will they be? Is the focus on

:13:58.:14:02.

getting up? I think promotion and being back in the Premier League is

:14:03.:14:06.

their aim, and that will be what they want more than anything. Your

:14:07.:14:12.

beloved club won the Scottish Cup not long ago. Do you think that Hibs

:14:13.:14:18.

fans will be divided? I think they want to get the monkey off their

:14:19.:14:23.

back and stop Hearts fans rubbing it in. They would love to do that at

:14:24.:14:28.

the national stadium. But they could end up the season, it's quite

:14:29.:14:33.

remarkable, they could end up getting promoted and winning the

:14:34.:14:37.

cup. What an achievement that would be for a Championship side,

:14:38.:14:42.

remarkable. Steven MacLean, who won the cup for St Johnstone, also

:14:43.:14:47.

scored today. We haven't mentioned Raith Rovers. Whoever finishes

:14:48.:14:51.

third, they will have to play them, arguably the team in form in the

:14:52.:14:56.

division. They have done a wonderful job. It will be a hard one. Very

:14:57.:15:03.

hard, going to Raith Rovers. But Falkirk... I see Falkirk and Hibs

:15:04.:15:14.

being too strong for the play-offs. Let's start at Pittodrie, Aberdeen

:15:15.:15:15.

against Motherwell. Any chance of Motherwell had of

:15:16.:15:26.

getting back into the game ended when Jonny Hayes clipped the ball

:15:27.:15:32.

into the net. Motherwell had shown very little until they scored, it

:15:33.:15:36.

was all Aberdeen and they went ahead through a penalty after six minutes.

:15:37.:15:41.

Niall McGinn with a lovely volley and Adam Rooney scoring on his

:15:42.:15:47.

return. Rooney, the substitute, has now been substituted. Possibly

:15:48.:15:50.

feeling the effects of coming back into the game this afternoon for the

:15:51.:15:56.

first time since February. Another chance for Aberdeen. Cleared by the

:15:57.:16:00.

Motherwell defence. They are cruising to the three points this

:16:01.:16:07.

afternoon. Goals galore there and plenty at new Douglas Park, Alford

:16:08.:16:14.

Joe Marler. Much changing? I foolishly predicted Hamilton would

:16:15.:16:19.

win today given they had won both their last two matches and they'd

:16:20.:16:24.

won three of their last five. The Mahdi had been -- Joe Marler cab

:16:25.:16:30.

been drifting. Hamilton have won both their matches at Rugby Park

:16:31.:16:35.

this season and Kilmarnock won their last match a and drew the four

:16:36.:16:39.

before. Home advantage is not the case with these sites. Greg Kiltie

:16:40.:16:46.

with his first two for Kilmarnock. Chris Boyd making it 3-0 and Josh

:16:47.:16:53.

Magennis making it 4-0. It's been a huge performance from Joe Marler. A

:16:54.:16:58.

few bumpy moments at their AGM in midweek, but clearly adversity

:16:59.:17:06.

playing in their favour this week. As Paul Gascoigne once said, I never

:17:07.:17:13.

make predictions and I never will. Any goals at Victoria Park? I

:17:14.:17:20.

wouldn't put any money on it. Still 1-0 St Johnstone. The goal was the

:17:21.:17:27.

only notable thing about the match, it's been so flat. You would have

:17:28.:17:30.

expected county to fire back, they've had a couple of chances but

:17:31.:17:39.

have really created very little. St Johnstone getting the job done,

:17:40.:17:42.

they've not been brilliant, but they've done a lot and that goal

:17:43.:17:45.

looks like sending them to fourth place tonight. Enjoying that one!

:17:46.:17:54.

You were enjoying it more. One for the connoisseurs. Martin has never

:17:55.:17:59.

really understood the tactical game so I can understand that! He

:18:00.:18:04.

described Steven MacLean as a pest, but you were waxing locations about

:18:05.:18:10.

his other talents. I'm a big fan. For somebody without a lot of pace

:18:11.:18:14.

he's great at holding up the ball and linking play. He's getting his

:18:15.:18:18.

rewards and scoring goals now because he's been unfortunate with

:18:19.:18:22.

injuries. Who is your Premiership Player of the Year? We'll have our

:18:23.:18:28.

favourites the players have as well and they have picked their player --

:18:29.:18:34.

team of the year. Let's have a look at it. A who's Who of the season's

:18:35.:18:37.

star turns. Chaps, any notable absentees? First

:18:38.:19:09.

up, it's a pretty decent team and I think the players have picked a fine

:19:10.:19:13.

group of players. If there is a remarkable thing, it's remarkable

:19:14.:19:18.

that Dundee, who ended in the bottom six, have three players in the team.

:19:19.:19:22.

Allworthy players, nothing wrong with that. Dundee have always been

:19:23.:19:26.

my little team, I like to see them doing well. The other thing I would

:19:27.:19:30.

note is there are people who may have just lost out. I thought I

:19:31.:19:36.

might see just asthma throughout Jackson Irvine of Ross County in

:19:37.:19:38.

midfield and a range of other players who could make claim for it.

:19:39.:19:44.

I think it's a decent team. Let's go back to Pittodrie. No more goals but

:19:45.:19:52.

a red card for the Motherwell captain, Keith Lasley. He went in

:19:53.:19:55.

hard on the challenge and it looked as if the referee was initially

:19:56.:19:59.

going to show a yellow card. But then there was a clash between

:20:00.:20:04.

Lasley and Graeme Shinnie and the red card came out. Mark McGhee looks

:20:05.:20:09.

like he's been sent to the stands as well. It's all kicking off at

:20:10.:20:15.

Pittodrie. Motherwell now down to ten men with less than a minute to

:20:16.:20:21.

go. It might be kicking off there, but we are going to New Douglas

:20:22.:20:28.

Park. Is it full-time? Yes. It's all back on in terms of the play-off

:20:29.:20:31.

places at the bottom. Kilmarnock have thumped the Accies 4-0 and

:20:32.:20:39.

deservedly so. They came flying out of the blocks today, backed by at

:20:40.:20:43.

least 1500 travelling fans. Craig Slater's cross headed on to his own

:20:44.:20:51.

crossbar by the defender. Greg Kiltie would be the start of the

:20:52.:20:54.

show, although there was some controversy about his first goal.

:20:55.:20:59.

Did it go out of Blake was back he arrowed a shot into the top corner.

:21:00.:21:05.

Then he was plagued in by Kris Boyd. A hint of offside. It was then 2-0.

:21:06.:21:17.

Lucas Tagliapietra was adjudged to have handled the ball and Kris Boyd

:21:18.:21:20.

made no mistake from the penalty bot. Then Josh Magennis made it 4-0.

:21:21.:21:28.

A great day for Kilmarnock. Plenty of life left in them yet. Four

:21:29.:21:34.

points between them and Accies now. A play-off place very much alive

:21:35.:21:40.

issue still. What would the psychological impact of that result

:21:41.:21:44.

be, and the performance for both sides? It could be huge. You have to

:21:45.:21:49.

give credit to come on. They were doing well last week until their

:21:50.:21:52.

keeper was sent off and they produced a performance like this

:21:53.:21:55.

today. It's all about momentum and they are going the right way. Let's

:21:56.:22:00.

go to Firhill. Partick Thistle against Inverness. The result for

:22:01.:22:12.

Gilmour and might also send a shiver down the spine of jags fans. Now

:22:13.:22:17.

there's just a 6-point gap between Joe Marler and Partick with nine

:22:18.:22:23.

points to play for. -- between Kilmarnock and Partick. A terrible

:22:24.:22:30.

performance from Partick Thistle. They were so lacklustre, created

:22:31.:22:35.

virtually nothing about from the one goal they scored. Completely

:22:36.:22:40.

outplayed and outmuscled by Inverness Caledonian Thistle. They

:22:41.:22:44.

took the lead on the 14th minute through Carl Tremarco, an Englishman

:22:45.:22:47.

who plays at left back. Lots of space down the left and kept going.

:22:48.:22:52.

He went forward and scored with a lovely goal into the far corner with

:22:53.:22:57.

a nice finish with the inside of his left foot. It was 1-0 at the break.

:22:58.:23:03.

40 seconds into the second half, any chance Partick had of getting into

:23:04.:23:06.

the game looked over when Miles Storey scored his 12th of the

:23:07.:23:11.

season. Shouts for offside when Josh Meekings played the ball through,

:23:12.:23:17.

but the flag stayed down. The shot went in off the post and it was 2-0.

:23:18.:23:24.

It became three on 75 minutes. A corner straight to Josh Meekings

:23:25.:23:28.

about eight yards out. He side footed past Ryan Scully. Kris Doolan

:23:29.:23:35.

got one back on 83 minutes, his 11th of the season. A long ball from Ryan

:23:36.:23:40.

Seabourn. The shot came back from the keeper, but he then rounded the

:23:41.:23:45.

keeper to make it 3-1. Any joy Partick had was wiped out by Jordan

:23:46.:23:50.

Roberts two minutes later. He converted following Richie Foran's

:23:51.:23:55.

cross. A miserable afternoon for Alan Archibald. 4-1 at Pittodrie,

:23:56.:24:04.

all over between Aberdeen and the Alan Archibald. 4-1 at Pittodrie,

:24:05.:24:10.

top -- Aberdeen and Motherwell. A result that means Celtic's

:24:11.:24:13.

championship title cannot be confirmed until at least next Sunday

:24:14.:24:20.

when Aberdeen visit Parkhead. Aberdeen now guaranteed finishing at

:24:21.:24:25.

least second place. It started brightly after six minutes. Kenny

:24:26.:24:30.

McLean from the penalties bot after Jonny Hayes was pulled down. 2-0

:24:31.:24:36.

after 26 minutes with a lovely volley. Adam Rooney coming off the

:24:37.:24:40.

bench to score the third. Motherwell's response came courtesy

:24:41.:24:48.

of an Ash Taylor own goal. Chris Cadden's shot was deflected.

:24:49.:24:55.

Aberdeen's 3-goal lead restored thanks to Jonny Hayes. A wonderful

:24:56.:24:59.

run that took him clear of the defence and he chipped the ball over

:25:00.:25:03.

Ripley into the back of the net. Keith Lasley was sent off with just

:25:04.:25:07.

a minute left after a hard challenge on Jonny Hayes. It was the

:25:08.:25:14.

Motherwell assistant boss, Steve Robinson, who was sent to the stand

:25:15.:25:15.

by the referee on the intervention Robinson, who was sent to the stand

:25:16.:25:22.

of the assistant referee. More of that to come. Aberdeen guaranteed at

:25:23.:25:27.

least second place in the table and Celtic's championship is on ice.

:25:28.:25:35.

Let's head to Victoria Park. Ross County against Saint Johnstone is

:25:36.:25:43.

over. St Johnstone move into fourth place in the Premiership. Steven

:25:44.:25:47.

MacLean's close range finish separating the science. Danny

:25:48.:25:51.

Swanson had had a great opportunity moments earlier, but he hit the side

:25:52.:25:58.

netting. It was a fairly poor match for long spells with the visitors

:25:59.:26:03.

edging proceedings. Graham Cummings was denied by a brilliant Paul Quinn

:26:04.:26:06.

challenge in the first half when he looked like netting. Chances were

:26:07.:26:12.

rare as was the excitement. Ross County offered very little. Jonathan

:26:13.:26:15.

Franks going close with a deflected shot, Andrew Davis with a header,

:26:16.:26:20.

Brian Graham deny by a block late on, but they didn't deserve

:26:21.:26:24.

anything, in truth. A great result the Tommy Wright. A forgettable

:26:25.:26:33.

afternoon for the home side. Martin is right, in terms of the

:26:34.:26:36.

positioning and going for fourth place, it's a big result for St

:26:37.:26:39.

Johnstone full, given what's happened to Motherwell. Of course.

:26:40.:26:44.

At this stage, particularly with the smaller carbs, it's all about finer

:26:45.:26:49.

economic. That's why it will be disappointing for Partick Thistle.

:26:50.:26:53.

Just a point when they want people to renew their season tickets. 200

:26:54.:26:59.

to 300 people might not bother. That's not good news. St Johnstone,

:27:00.:27:03.

slightly more money if they finish fourth, but no European spot because

:27:04.:27:07.

either Rangers or Hibernian will win the Scottish Cup. Hughes this week

:27:08.:27:14.

saying they were how much to spend until they finish. He's looking to

:27:15.:27:18.

bring in few Partick Thistle players. That's what it's all about

:27:19.:27:26.

just now. Winning games, obviously, but trying to climb the league. You

:27:27.:27:30.

get more money the higher you get. It could be an extra couple of

:27:31.:27:35.

players. That's what the managers are looking at. You know greedy

:27:36.:27:39.

footballers also get a bonus depending on where they are in the

:27:40.:27:43.

league! Let's go back to Inverness. Their season has been blighted by

:27:44.:27:49.

injuries. They are a good side. They play good football and they have

:27:50.:27:53.

good players. They'll be disappointed to finish in the bottom

:27:54.:27:59.

six, but it's all down to injuries. Edinburgh city and Cove Rangers in

:28:00.:28:05.

the pyramid play-off Drew 1-1 so Edinburgh city of winners overall

:28:06.:28:09.

and they will go into the play-offs against East Stirlingshire. They've

:28:10.:28:12.

been hanging about in the football league for a long while. It's one of

:28:13.:28:17.

those things that opens up the whole question of the pyramid system. East

:28:18.:28:21.

Stirlingshire have frequently been the bottom team in the senior leaks.

:28:22.:28:26.

They have two apply for re-election back in the day. In this case, they

:28:27.:28:34.

may face a challenging game against East Stirlingshire. It brings more

:28:35.:28:38.

interesting to the game. I like the idea of the play-offs and the

:28:39.:28:41.

Pyramids. I'd like to see it extended. You look at East Kilbride

:28:42.:28:49.

and the Scottish Cup. It's good for Edinburgh. You have to have

:28:50.:28:54.

something to go for. If East Stirling can sit at the bottom and

:28:55.:28:59.

think we are going to get re-elected next year, I think it's great for

:29:00.:29:02.

the other teams to compete against the teams at the bottom. What

:29:03.:29:06.

happens if East Stirlingshire dropped out of the league was not

:29:07.:29:10.

what does the future hold for them and their die-hard fans. You can

:29:11.:29:16.

never ever turn on community and there is a community, a small

:29:17.:29:19.

community of fans and they will want to see the survival of their club.

:29:20.:29:24.

They'll have fond memories of supporting them through thin and

:29:25.:29:27.

thin over the years and they will want to see them doing well and

:29:28.:29:33.

regain their possession. Five or six buses were leaving Accrington today

:29:34.:29:39.

to try to see Accrington Stanley win promotion in England. A few years

:29:40.:29:42.

ago they didn't exist and they had to reinvent themselves and come

:29:43.:29:47.

back. There's a lot of people like East Stirlingshire who will want

:29:48.:29:52.

that kind of solution. It looks like curtains for Dundee United. A big

:29:53.:29:57.

game on Monday a way to Dundee. They have to win all their games from now

:29:58.:30:03.

on. They had to win five of them. Yes, they need to try to win their

:30:04.:30:09.

games and hopefully luck is with them. It's a definite they need to

:30:10.:30:13.

win on Monday night. Pride, you don't want your neighbours putting

:30:14.:30:20.

you down. Time now for the classified results round-up.

:30:21.:33:48.

Celtic have three games to go, with a massive goal difference. So Celtic

:33:49.:33:54.

effectively winning the Championship today, although Brian McLauchlin

:33:55.:33:57.

disagrees. Dundee United have four matches to

:33:58.:34:07.

play. We have closure in the Ladbrokes

:34:08.:34:25.

Scottish league table League 1. Elgin City, Clyde and queens park

:34:26.:35:00.

the play-offs places. East Stirlingshire go into that pyramid

:35:01.:35:01.

promotion play-off. Manchester United play Leicester

:35:02.:35:15.

City tomorrow. Newcastle united moving out of the

:35:16.:35:25.

bottom three thanks to beating Crystal Palace 1-0.

:35:26.:35:31.

A good day for Celtic and Ronny Deila. 3-1 winners at Tynecastle.

:35:32.:36:07.

The Premiership title all but done and dusted, so we can hear now from

:36:08.:36:14.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila. Done is done, learn from it and go on. I

:36:15.:36:16.

Celtic manager Ronny Deila. Done is have been a part of this club for

:36:17.:36:19.

two years. It's been fantastic and the boys have supported me. I never

:36:20.:36:24.

lost the dressing room. They are fantastic. You can see that today.

:36:25.:36:31.

Will you allow yourself a celebration this evening? I can

:36:32.:36:35.

assure you of that. So the champagne is not on ice. Done is done. Ronny

:36:36.:36:43.

Deila moves on. His CV is not going to look that bad for future

:36:44.:36:48.

employers. Of course not. I have got a lot of time from Ronny, he is a

:36:49.:36:53.

good guy, he looks as if he gives everything he has got. Big games in

:36:54.:36:59.

Europe haven't helped him. They have let themselves down as a team. Not

:37:00.:37:04.

just the manager, but the team. That doesn't help a manager, but he can

:37:05.:37:08.

hold his head up high. He has 12-macro championships. He has

:37:09.:37:12.

achieved what he wanted. I am sure he will enjoy a drink this evening.

:37:13.:37:18.

And he has a successor into the Champions League qualifiers, whoever

:37:19.:37:24.

that may be. You've got to be a bit sorry for Ronny Deila. I think at

:37:25.:37:28.

times he has been generous to his players, because sometimes they have

:37:29.:37:32.

seriously let him down. There have been poor draws, lacklustre home

:37:33.:37:37.

wins, the fans haven't fallen in love with the type of football on

:37:38.:37:43.

offer. Deila has found himself in a predicament with about 450 midfield

:37:44.:37:49.

players... He got them! He is entitled to his night tonight. And

:37:50.:37:59.

underwhelming season all over. I think so, and that is why the fans

:38:00.:38:04.

feel a wee bit deflated by the end of it and the way if turned out.

:38:05.:38:09.

That being said, they move on. It is a good job for somebody moving in

:38:10.:38:15.

because the CV looks good. He has won two championships. My CV looks

:38:16.:38:23.

terrible, but we move on as well. We say good night, but not before a run

:38:24.:38:24.

through of what is coming up. Next week, I am not doing the

:38:25.:38:38.

results show. Eilidh Barbour is your woman for that. I am sure you will

:38:39.:38:40.

make a welcome. Thanks to Stuart and Darren for

:38:41.:38:50.

their wisdom and wit. We will see you soon. Take care.

:38:51.:38:53.
