This could be something quite sensational. Write out of the top

drawer. And this shot is an absolute beauty. Yes! That's unbelievable.

Unbelievable! What a finish. Right here, right now, this is history.

Welcome to Sportscene and another unpredictable weekend

With us tonight as we try to make sense of the latest

twists and turns, Steven Thompson and Michael Stewart.

Only one place we can really start tonight.

The top of the table clash at Pittodrie.

Brendan Rodgers' side threatening to gallop away

from all the rest in the Premiership.

Could Aberdeen land a blow to haul them back in?

Surprisingly Derek McInnes is left out his biggest goal threat Adam

Rooney and starter and James Maddison. Captain Jack starts for

the first time since August. Celtic back to familiar lines with several

players restored after the midweek trip to Dingwall. This is James

Forrest, taken on by Armstrong. Dembele cannot quite force at home.

It has been a sluggish start from both teams but Celtic cutting open

the Aberdeen defence. Lovely play by Armstrong, who is a man in form. Joe

Lewis Tidwell to keep them out. -- Lewis did well.

Aberdeen with their first real attack of the game. Niall McGinn.

Erik Sviatchenko in the way. Brown, looks like he's returning to

the international fold when the Scotland squad is named this week.

Lustig, and that is cleared by Logan. Tom Rogic, it is clever, it

is brilliant by Rogic! Stunning opening goal by the champions. Rogic

shape to shoot with the right foot and goes with the left. And it has

outfoxed Joe Lewis. A moment of brilliance from the Australian. And

it is a champion to take the lead. -- the champions who take the lead.

Celtic continuing this wonderful record against Aberdeen, they have

not failed to score against them in a league game since 2001. They are

threatening again with Rogic. These are important times for Aberdeen.

Celtic beginning to power, having got the lead. McGinn, with the ball

in, it is Considine. Scored a cracking goal against Kilmarnock

from the same area a few weeks back, on the volley. Not this time.

Izaguirre, who should have a run in the team for the next few months

with Kieran Tierney out. Kieran Tierney, and James Forrest, to

Rogic, and Armstrong! What a chance! And he knows it. This should be 2-0.

Aberdeen getting away with one, there. The interchange between

Dembele and Sinclair who have been two of the best players in green and

white this season. Sinclair, and what a save! What a save! From Joe

Lewis. The ball well won by Considine, and

these have to go through the gears to get back to his post here. The

long ball has been missed by Maclean. This is Tom Rogic. Lewis

again. They just can't handle Tom Rogic. He is gliding around, finding

space all over the place. That has broken for James Forrest. He finds

Lustig, who finds Rogic. Dembele! Piquant quite get past Joe Lewis.

Aberdeen are still breathing, but only just. They are under a green

and white cosh. Dembele. So strong. Rogic. Lewis gets the luck, and he

might well deserve it, such has been his second-half performance in

particular. Moussa Dembele. Sinclair. He has found Rogic, again.

They just can't put it to bed, but they really should have done by now.

Having run Celtic close the last couple of years, that will annoy

Derek McInnes. James Forrest, with another opportunity going begging

for the champions. Claims for the foul, and it's only a

throw-in. Graeme Shinnie. That is a free kick, and this time, Scott

Brown got involved in the aftermath, and so, too, the Jonny Hayes. Steven

McLean, the referee, is going to have to sort this out now. Graeme

Shinnie caught by Lustig, then Scott Brown drove the ball off the now

Aberdeen captain. Looks like a yellow card only for Brown and

Hayes. That has worked his way through off Rooney, do Graeme

Shinnie. Was he being held? Was Graeme Shinnie being held here? The

referee did not think so. It was Simunovic on shinny. -- Shinnie.

Aberdeen desperate to avoid back-to-back defeats. Hayes, looking

for Stockley, and that is Madison! No doubt that Rooney and Madison

have made an impact since coming off the bench less than ten minutes

after half-time. It is getting a bit nervous now for Brendan Rogers.

Celtic should be out of sight, but they are not. They could be here,

though. Roberts, to Stuart Armstrong. The only points of the

cab dropped this season was at Inverness in a similar kind of game.

Aberdeen, running out of time. Joe Lewis has been a hero at the back,

will he be a hero at the front? Here it comes, it is Craig Gordon from

Erik Sviatchenko. Really good save that preserves the three points. 1-0

down, half-time, we try to make changes early to get the game going

our way, and by and large in the second half, although they had

opportunities on the second half, I thought that by and large, a lot of

the play was in and around their box. It was a real fight for us

today. We had to show different qualities in our game. You're right,

we could have put the game to bed much earlier than the final whistle,

but I was really pleased because different qualities in the team

today, we showed, we pressed the game very well, and in the moments

when they were direct, we had to stand up and be counted. Aberdeen

did all they could to beat us and bully us, but today we showed the

other side of our game, that we can also play the physical game, and

that is what a team of completion is about. A big, big win over Celtic,

plenty of people thinking that is the title already in the bag for

Brendan Rogers' side. From an Aberdeen point of view, should they

have started with Adam Rooney and Madison up front? I would have. I

can understand what Derek McInnes was trying to do, to get that extra

midfielder on the park in Ryan Jack and dropping in Kenny McLean as

well, but with Ryan Jack having been out of the side, they've had a

better balance with Madison at Number Ten and Rooney up top, so the

changes that they may, they didn't work. You saw the guys came on and

made an impact. At home you have got to play your strongest side, and

they didn't. It was a surprise for me that Rooney didn't start, but he

was trying to get pace in behind, more mobility. This run would have

been what Derek was looking for. When he gets the ball, Wes Burns, it

would have been exactly where Adam Rooney would have been waiting in

the middle of the six yard box. You talk about Madison. The reason he is

so highly applauded by everyone, he always plays between the lines, on

the half term. Adam Rooney is not content with just floating around at

the back. He goes and makes it difficult. This is where he's at his

best, in the middle of the six yard box. When he receives the ball, he

is always looking up to make forward passes. And this is the balances of

the side. Your three guys behind the main striker. And Rooney again, that

is clever. That was great defending. Maddison is very skilful on the

ball. And this highlights the Rooney- Maddison partnership. He

finds himself in great space and he has no option but to header this,

Erik Sviatchenko. That is a wonderful save by Craig Gordon, 495

minutes without conceding, five clean sheets. If you are Celtic

player coming in and seen that team sheet with Madison and Rooney not on

it, that gives you a boost. And you think Aberdeen should have had a

penalty. I did, I thought it was a clear penalty. I know that Michael

doesn't. First I thought it was a trip, but it was the arm pull, which

we get a good view of here. Simunovic grabs the arm of Graeme

Shinnie and it alters the position of his body. He is too honest. If he

goes down under the challenge, it is... It would have been given. For

me, there's not enough of April and has arm. When you look at that as it

plays out normally, it barely looks like Graeme Shinnie has been

impeded. Steven McLean was the referee. From his perspective he was

never going to give that. If he goes down the gives the referee decision

to make. For me, the thing is that Graeme Shinnie are trying to contort

his body to get the strike offers left foot and a touch from Simunovic

isn't enough to make him go down. I don't think. We will move on. Celtic

have lots of chances. You were so impressed by this. He has had a

brilliant match, Joe Lewis. One save in particular, this one here.

Definitely one of the best I've ever seen. You have been saying it was

the best you've seen. I had a large coffee when I said that. It was one

of the best. This saved coming up... Was this the best save you've ever

seen? It is not as good as the other one. He kept Aberdeen in, but they

did rally towards the end. It was a deserved win for Celtic and the

moment of glass from Tom Rogic. It was. Talking about games that are so

tight with games at the top of the table, it can be a moment of glass

that separates the sides, and that goal is worthy of winning any game.

The touch with his right foot, then as it is moving away he hit it with

his left, it is a wonderful goal. Technically it is absolutely

brilliant. He has been in unbelievable form for Celtic. His

reputation has grown with every game. Don't underestimate how

difficult a skill that is, to hit that on the half volley. We are not

in November and people are talking about the title being already over.

I would agree. The rest of the league is interesting, only ten

points between Dundee, and Rangers in second place. But I think Celtic

are going to run away with it. Now Stephen has the unenviable is job

predicting scores on the SPFL website. This is what actually

happened in the game between Inverness and Hearts. Robbie Neilson

changes the front 24 Hearts. Tony Watt and Conor Sammon start on the

bench, replaced by Bjorn Johnsen and Robbie Muirhead.

Polwarth on the overlap. Carl Tremarco, and there was almost the

opening goal from Doumbouya. Big improvement from the French striker,

and close to scoring here again. That is David Raven. True Marco's

replacement. Polwarth, and David Raven, great strike! Caley Thistle

ahead, inside 15 minutes. David Raven with his first goal in 14

months. That is what you call an impact, off the bench. Cleared by

McCain. The former Hearts player. -- Mackay. It is Doumbouya, three goals

in three games for the Frenchman. And Hearts are in big bother now, 32

minutes on the clock, Caley Thistle two, Hartnell. -- Hearts nil. Can

they find their way back? Bjorn Johnsen with a chance. And that

changes the complexion, seven minutes away from half-time, and

Inverness, Hearts will feel that they are back in the game. Inverness

sliced open by one, simple pass. Walker. In from Faycal Rherras, and

it has gone all the way. It was aimed at the head Bjorn Johnsen. I

don't think he got the touch. And Cammy Mackay flinging across a

despairing left glove, but it goes in, the first Hearts goal for

Rherras, and its 2-2. Finding Draper. Brad McKay. Draper again.

Polwarth with a great effort. Spectacular from the homebred

midfielder. Sadly for him, straight at Jack Hamilton. In goes Rherras

against Doumbouya, and the Inverness striker comes out on top. The up and

under from Dora, Doran comes out on top and present the net in front

again. What a remarkable game this is, and what a sweet moment for Alan

Doran, who's had a tortuous time with injuries, back on the top team

scene, and now back among the goals. -- Aaron Doran. Walker with a shot

blocked, real pressure on Inverness, the cross from Bjorn Johnsen, and it

flicks off Meekings, going dangerously close to the far post

with Hearts pressing again for an equaliser. Tony Watt to the byline.

He cut it back for Bjorn Johnsen. At full stretch, and that is some

stretch, and he couldn't quite add the finishing touch. Here Hearts

again. Rossi. Cowie. Arnaud Djoum takes a man scores! -- takes aim and

scores. It is 3-3 in Inverness. Arnaud Djoum through the legs of

Meekings, and that flew past Mackay. Maybe one last chance to turn one

point in Q3. Inverness get it clear, they shot from Arnaud Djoum, and the

Highlander had the chance to score a late winner for Hearts, but there's

going to finish 3-3. Absolutely delighted with the performance, we

started the game very well, scored three fantastic goals. If it wasn't

for a couple of mistakes we would have won the game. I'm delighted for

the lads. Even when we got 23-2, we got the goal back very quickly and

created lots chances. So getting a point, you're always happy, but over

the course of the game disappointed that we did not take three.

Inverness making amends after that thumping at Tynecastle earlier in

the season. Hearts conceding five goals in the last two games. Do they

have problems at the back? In the last couple of games they have. I

would say across the season there has been too many. But we all know

that going forward, this is a real strength of the game of the

full-back. He does not match the run from David Raven. He gets punished

badly in the ultimate fashion by conceding a goal. This is where he's

comfortable. When you play with fullbacks like that, defenders have

got to be set up for the counterattack. Rossi has to drop. He

can't commit himself. There were other problems. Robbie Muirhead

doesn't attract the run of Polwarth. John Souttar is very deep, he has to

match the run, then he changes his mind and gets drawn towards the

ball. Good touch and finish from Doumbouya. It was a catalogue of

errors, that goal. All three goals in the game were very poor goals.

You heard Robbie Neilson say he was disappointed with the way that the

game did not flow, but they did not defend properly in that game. Our

Robbie Muirhead and Bjorn Johnsen the answer with Tony Watt and Conor

Sammon not playing? They have not set the heather on fire, but the

change was inevitable. There was a definite improvement, they have

scored three goals, and as a whole, the look more threatening in the

final third. Aaron Doran missed most of last season due to injury for

Inverness. He has become a leader in the training as well, and were you

impressed by his contribution? He a player that I like. Getting on the

scoresheet after being out for long. He does well to put Kelly under

pressure. It is composed finish, from a player who's had a horrendous

time with injuries, being out for over a year, then coming back to

full fitness now. He's a clever, inventive player. Almost like a new

signing for Richie Foran. Looking back at when Inverness were flying

high under Terry Butcher, this man and Jonny Hayes were shining lights

in that side. We have seen what Jonny Hayes has done since he has

gone to Aberdeen and continue to progress. This guy will be like and

you play for Richie Foran. He'll be delighted to have him back in the

side. Is it just one of these results that shows how tight this

league is? I think you're right, it just shows how tight the league is.

Inverness have turned things round since that game at Tynecastle when

Hearts beat them 5-1. They are looking to continue to push for

second place, Herts. Kilmarnock arrived at Ibrox

with plenty of confidence after their 2-0 victory over Hearts

during the week. Rangers, on the other hand,

looking to turn things around The Rangers players were met with a

chorus of doing against Johnson on Wednesday night and the alterations

see James Tavernier coming. Kilmarnock have turned the corner

after a difficult start, with nine goals from Sulieman Coulibaly,

starting in an unchanged side from the victory over Hearts. Rangers

unbeaten at Ibrox this season but three draws means that they have

dropped six points. Inside the opening 30 seconds, Jason Holt, just

a whisker away from the opening goal. Is that a sign of things to

come? Kilmarnock will hope not. Garner, holding up, and here comes

Josh Windass. O'Halloran. He goes down the outside, great play by

O'Halloran. Jason Holt was a man in the middle looking for a tap in. He

could have had three goals in the opening three minutes, brilliant

from O'Halloran, to get past Taylor. Seven points from Kilmarnock's last

three games, an excellent return, only conceded one goal. Jones went

it alone. He had Tyson in the middle, begging for the ball across.

Great play by Jordan Jones. He did to James Tavernier, what O'Halloran

had done to Taylor, moments earlier. Nicely for Ghana. Back it comes to

Hill. The wind as has been very much the playmaker. Wonderful ball to

O'Halloran. These two men, and still, Michael O'Halloran, and that

is the effort from Miller that goes well over the top. Another chance in

the starting line-up for the former Saint Johnstone man. And he looks up

for it. Wind that again comes up short, win that again, you can hear

the shouts from Lee Wallace, and he's in here, the Rangers captain,

and he gives McDonald the eyes, and beats the goalkeeper at his near

post. 16 minutes in. And the captain gives Rangers the lead. He's scored

nine times last season. That is his first goal since March. A promising

start for Mark Warburton. Gala, from the back post, and it went all the

way across. -- Joe Garner. Miller, now. And Lee Wallace, that will be a

long way worried. Not quite repeating the trick, earlier. Joe

Garner scored a header against Johnson on Wednesday. Nice ball into

Jason Holt, he's brought down, and John Beaton says penalty kick.

Steven Smith the offender with a tackle that would've been more

suited to a field. Andy Halliday, against Jamie McDonald and Rangers

are in command here, and in the absence of Joey Barton, Andy

Halliday continues to make his presence felt. Wind as, and Clint

Hill is after it. It is knocked off the line. O'Halloran, now, there are

bodies on the floor, Tyson protecting the ball, and the free

kick goes against O'Halloran, as he seems rather baffled by that. The

header from Clint Hill initially, McKenzie the man on the line. James

Tavernier, the goal-scorer at Rugby Park. That was when the teams met

back in August. O'Halloran. Good ball across. Jones, to complete the

clearance only as far as wind as, and Joe Garner is in there, a

delicate touch, two minutes into the second half, and Joe Garner, scoring

with the second game running. Rangers have a 3- goal lead. Mark

Warburton's side on course for their biggest win since their promotion

back to the Premiership. Calmly done by Andy Halliday. And Miller now,

with a powerful drive. McDonald up for it this time, with the save.

Miller has been lively all afternoon. Lee McCulloch, the

Kilmarnock assistant manager after so many years as a Rangers player,

but chances for his side have been few and far between. Sulieman

Coulibaly could not find the far corner. He's been in devastating

form this season but he has had a quiet afternoon.

You were there yesterday, how much of an improved performance was this

for Rangers? It was much improved. When the criticism so far this

season has been when they have attacked so slowly and ponderously

and a big difference yesterday was that they had Michael O'Halloran in

the side, who brought real, genuine pace to the team and made a huge

difference. Why has he featured so rarely? He

can be inconsistent. This was inside the first two minutes. Two chances.

A wonderful pass from Josh Windass. He has space and he attacks it

really well. Just Mrs Jason Holt when it comes back out. He gives a

good balance to the Rangers side. No one else in the team has the raw

pace. They have been too slow in their attacking. He brought real

pace. Will he feature more regularly? He needs a run in the

team. When he was playing at his best at St Johnstone he was playing

every week. Rangers are unbeaten in league football under Mark

Warburton. Too much negativity? After losing the Old Firm game and

if her performance in midweek, there was doom and gloom. Last season's

performances, that was more like it yesterday. There is some positivity

now. Rangers up to second in the table. How disappointing where, in

a? They wear unbeaten in three, picking up seven points. They could

have went level with Rangers but were very disappointing. As much as

Rangers where much improved, come on and didn't offer a great deal.

Rangers tore them to pieces. Come on never got into the game. The guys at

the top never featured much at all. St Johnstone had gone level

on points with Aberdeen during the week after their draw

with Rangers at Ibrox. But Partick Thistle arrived

at McDiarmid Park with a spring in their own step after an important

away win over Dundee. Three changes from the side who drew

at Ibrox. Partick Thistle made one enforced change, the goalkeeper is

injured so Thorsten Stuckman makes his first start. St Johnstone's 600

competitive fixture at McDiarmid Park. A chance to move second in the

table. A good challenge there. Brian Easton

to the rescue. Partick Thistle have won their last two visits to

McDiarmid Park. Ade Azeez grounded there. Comes it more than anything.

-- clumsy. There is Kris Doolan and Partick Thistle are in front. Kris

Doolan claiming his third goal of the season. A good delivery and

define was jumping at the back post. And Kris Doolan claiming his second

in two matches. -- team1-mac. And that is a brilliant goal from

Steven MacLean. Outstanding teamwork from the kick-off. That is the way

to response after going behind. It's to taking them less than 30 seconds.

His seventh of the campaign. That has taking a deflection off of

Eastern. Fine goalkeeping from Zander Clark. He was positions to

expect the cross but he quickly got across to make the save.

The danger still not over. Here is Edwards. A poor finish at the end

from Edwards, but good effort from Ade Azeez. And Zander Clark with

another good stop. Edwards couldn't deliver with the follow-up. Haven't

won in their last five matches against St Johnstone, Partick

Thistle. Edwards on target this time.

It came off the Partick Thistle player last there. A glorious chance

to put Thistle in front. On target but Zander Clark made the save. And

the second opportunity, not a strong enough header. One win in their last

ten matches in all competitions. Liam Craig driving it in and Chris

Kane turning it towards goal. A fine save but the flag was up for offside

in any case. Good reactions from the German goalkeeper.

We are into stoppage time. Antia is Amoo. He has turned well away from

Liam Craig. There is Abdul Osman, and that will be the winner. Well

into stoppage time. It is Abdul Osman, the captain of Partick

Thistle. Only his second ever goal, his last game over two years ago.

This one is proving vital. Substitute Amoo turning a Liam Craig

inside out and sending in the perfect pass for Abdul Osman to make

it 2-1. I am not bothered about second, I am bothered about losing

the three points. We missed an opportunity to win a game. Or seen

the game out and get a point. I thought the players where

I thought the players showed great energy despite three games in a

week. Results breed confidence and I think that showed today. Another

fantastic result for Partick Thistle. A real minutes of madness

in this match? Poor defending from St Johnstone initially. Two goes in

two games. The perfect way to react to losing a goal. St Johnstone

coming right back into the game with an unbelievably good call right from

the kick-off. They often say that it is the easiest time to lose a goal,

straight after you have scored, but look at this, a great finish and the

perfect reaction. A model of inconsistency, St Johnstone? They

are a bit win- lose- draw. First back-to-back league wins since

December last year. Suddenly, these two fantastic results. At the start

of the season made it very well in the week cup. -- League Cup. Liam

Craig has to do better with the clearance here. Wonderful bit of

play. A great finish and back-to-back victories a long time

coming. It gives them a platform to build on. A lack of cohesion in the

final third for Partick Thistle, is it finally coming together? Doolan

has been a talisman and hopefully he is going on a run.

To one of the real basement battles of the Premiership weekend now.

Second-bottom Motherwell against third-bottom Ross County.

Motherwell off the back of three straight defeats.

Commentary on this one comes from Alasdair Lamont.

Motherwell make three changes on the back of a home defeat. Despite a

heavy defeat by Celtic, Jim McIntyre sticks with the same starting XI.

Lionel Ainsworth is looking for options. Scott McDonald is one of

them! One of the smallest men on the part didn't even have to jump to nod

that one home. Terrible defending. Scott McDonald has his fifth goal of

the season to give Motherwell and early lead. That is away from Kenny

van der Weg all too easily. Bile into Louis Moult, back to

McDonald's, and almost a second. -- ball into Louis Moult.

After a poor display against Inverness in midweek, this is

better. Louis Moult stretches that can't get it on target. Motherwell

ramping up the pressure on the Ross County backline.

Quinn knotted into path of Scott McDonald.

Twisting and turning, and it has ended up in the back of the net. Of

the leg of canny vendor Vic. -- Kenny van der Weg. The attacking

trio have looked dangerous throughout this match. And Louis

Moult will claim most of the credit for that. But it will have to go

down as a Kenny van der Weg on goal. Either way, Motherwell are two up.

Ross County needs to get into the match for half-time. McShane is

trying to make that happen. Not too far away from reducing the areas. --

reducing the deficit. He is going for ago and it has crept

in. Richard Tait has his first Motherwell goal. Scott Fox won't

want to see this again too many times. Beaten at his near post.

Certainly a powerful shot, but Scott Fox will feel he should have kept it

out. Surely Motherwell on the way to three points. Mark McGhee has been

pleased with performances if not results. Looks like he has got both

today as Lionel Ainsworth comes close to a fourth. A couple of

inches too high. No way through for Ross County. McDonald's. Paul Quinn.

Emsworth is through on goal -- Ross County allowed Scott McDonald to

advise and Lionel Ainsworth shows great feat to tap home. It is

emphatic four Motherwell, 4-0. Can Motherwell inflict further

damage on this billy goat Ross County backline? They have conceded

four goals for the second game in a row.

Ross County now facing a run of nine games without a win. They come

forward looking for a consolation and they have two Alex shall come.

That is lovely play and a great save from Scott Fox. Partly making amends

for his earlier error. So close. That is up there with what we have

produced, the best we have produced this season. On Wednesday night we

were defeated heavily and today it is Ross County. They will do the

same to someone else. That is the nature of the week. -- league. We

didn't have the final pass that would allow us to score a goal. They

have broke on ours and we have been punished. -- Rochon us. It is a

disappointing day. We kept at it, trying to do the right things. But

that is not good for confidence. They started second bottom and is

now the leapfrog Ross County. Mark McGhee said they went in a bad run

of form despite three straight defeats. It has turned around.

Clearly, it was a poor run of form. Going to Inverness during the week

and not getting a good result, it is clear for everyone to see that

things were not great. To get the results there it gives you

confidence. Leapfrogging Ross County, who themselves haven't won

in nine, it is a troubling time for them. Ross County have been on a per

run since winning the League Cup. They

it doesn't make good reading. Defensively it is not good, they

have lost four of their last five games, in three of those games and

they have conceded four goals. They are struggling to keep the ball out

of the net having struggled to score previously. Lionel Ainsworth had a

outstanding game. He is inspirational when he is playing

well. But it is a poor goal to lose. Struggling for confidence! Ross

County will be extremely disappointed. Mark McGhee

challenging Lionel Ainsworth to show more consistency. He obviously has

the talent, as we have seen. He has the ability. Mark McGhee spoke

about, if Emsworth was performing like that, he would be in the side.

-- Lionel Ainsworth. On his day, a top four former. -- performer. It is

just about putting all the attributes together? He has free

kicks and stores the odd spectacular goal. He is a goal threat as much as

he creates them. He has a good delivery. On form, he can be

inspirational for Motherwell. How worried should Ross County be, next

weekend they are playing Rangers? On Sunday they could be part of the

table by then. It is alarming. They need to turn things around. When you

compare it to how quickly they performed -- turns their results

around when the management team took over.

Finally, to the battle royale at the bottom end of the table.

Dundee rock bottom after six straight defeats.

Paul Hartley's side travelled to Hamilton Academical in desperate

A good midweek results against Aberdeen for Hamilton. Dundee make

four changes. David Mitchell comes in.

Crawford nearly has the opening goal early on. Crawford should have

buried that. Extabeguren got well above the

defender. On his own and he has a chance.

Craig Wighton for Dundee. -- Craig White. Lively football from

A nice first at and goes for the shot. Accelerated away from

Extabeguren, D'Acol. That is April one at and then he

stretches out. -- for first touch. Darren O'Dea reliable as ever

cutting that out. That was a bad touch and a sore one. Referee

couldn't have been better placed. Both managers wanting more from

their sides in the second-half. Good goalkeeping, two hands on it.

Hamilton disappointed by the midweek performance against Aberdeen. Paul

McGowan, and it has gone through them. The touch may have put off the

goalkeeper. The Canadian attacker was in the goalkeeper's I Lane.

The substitute goes down. Not too much in it, she is not complaining.

-- he is not complaining. It is a chance for Craig Wighton.

Dundee are looking to try and kill this game off.

Reacts well to come across, takes one for the team.

Can they find their second win of the season?

It is deflected into the path of Redmond, and Darren O'Dea gleefully

clears. Just wanted that extra touch. I can only applaud my players

today. A tough away fixture but the players were superb today in every

department. Hamilton didn't really threaten us. We didn't deserve to

win the game, but we didn't deserve to lose the game either. That is

football, and we go again. This was a huge win for Dundee after a second

straight defeat. That is what it means. -- six defeats. Yesterday, it

was ugly at times. Not the best game of football you ever see, but it is

all about winning at this stage. They change their style, going back

to front more often, not as expansive as normal. Taking no risks

at the back. A case of clearing lines. Back to front, that was a

pattern. Haber is a focal points. Weekend, week out, from Dundee's

perspective, they would take an ugly performance and an ugly goal. It

wasn't a great strike, wasn't a great goal, but it was all about

getting three points. Then you can start to build the confidence and go

and play better football. For Paul Hartley and the players, just about

getting three points? When you are down at the bottom, everything else

goes out the window. From the Dundee players' perspective, they will be

hoping for more. But they won't be wanting another celebration like

that. And all that leaves the Ladbrokes

Premiership looking like this. Celtic are nine points clear

at the top of the table Ross County now

second-bottom on 10 points. But generally, it's

all pretty tight. And a huge game in the Champions

League for Celtic. A difficult game. They will have to play better than

at home. They were exploited by the Germans. A lots of credit has to go

to the Germans, because they were a top drawer team. It will be

difficult for Celtic, but it is a must win if they want European

football after Christmas. We saw against Manchester City and that

they can play at this level? Brendan Rodgers has made top drawer
