:00:14. > :00:23.Yes, good afternoon and welcome to Sportscene Results. Money for
:00:24. > :00:36.nothing was the other show, right? Rest assured we are bringing
:00:37. > :00:42.everlast minute worth of value. Will well come gentlemen. We start with
:00:43. > :00:47.the latest from Ibrox. It is third versus third bottom in the
:00:48. > :00:59.Premiership. And a bit of a surprise scoreline there. It is Rangers, nil,
:01:00. > :01:10.Motherwell, one. MMoult with the goal there.
:01:11. > :01:22.A couple of yellow cards there for Rangers, Waghorn and Toral.
:01:23. > :01:29.Now to Hamilton Academical against St Johnstone.
:01:30. > :01:33.An incredible altercation has everybody talking. It is 0-0 here.
:01:34. > :01:39.But it is not about the football but about a fight that happened on the
:01:40. > :01:45.pitch. It was Danny Swanson and Richard Foster, an incredible
:01:46. > :01:49.altercation between the two St Johnstone Teammates at it again at
:01:50. > :01:56.each other. Going for each other, we don't know what sparked it off. But
:01:57. > :02:02.kicks, pulls, puncheses. Incredible scenes in the tunnel as Tommy Wright
:02:03. > :02:08.from the Hamilton Accies all got involved. Incribl scenes. Then it
:02:09. > :02:13.got calmed down as the referee stood on the pitch and everybody went down
:02:14. > :02:20.the tunnel. We were all asking what happened next. What happened, Danny
:02:21. > :02:25.Swanson and Richard Foster of St John Stone have been sent off. So
:02:26. > :02:27.they are going into the second half with nine men.
:02:28. > :02:33.Two players from the same team. Incredible. Tommy Wright,
:02:34. > :02:43.fascinating to see what he makes it of. Paul eighton yellow carded and
:02:44. > :02:55.the assistant manager has been sent to the stand. So quite incredible.
:02:56. > :03:01.Hamilton Accies did OK. But the St Johnstone players are emerging now.
:03:02. > :03:09.You can hear the boos, here at New Douglas Park. But quite incredible.
:03:10. > :03:20.Now to Inverness, Caley Thistle against Kilmarnock.
:03:21. > :03:27.Yes, it is 1-1 here. McKay putting Inverness in front. He got his head
:03:28. > :03:33.down, drove into the box. And then body thumped a ball home. Inverness
:03:34. > :03:42.then looked deflated. But then a cross which was not dealt with, it
:03:43. > :03:48.fell to McKay and he found the net. Greg Tansy was unlucky with a drive.
:03:49. > :03:55.Jones has been a threat. Chris Boyd missed a couple of
:03:56. > :04:06.chances. But expect more in the second half with Inverness desperate
:04:07. > :04:11.for a rare three points. And Alastair Lamond is watching Partick
:04:12. > :04:17.Thistle and Ross County. Partick Thistle came into the match
:04:18. > :04:22.in good form. Five matches unbeaten. But Ross County more than matched
:04:23. > :04:27.them. It has been about the mediocrity. A couple of shots from
:04:28. > :04:32.either side on goal. But nothing to test the goal keepers. Ross County
:04:33. > :04:39.had a couple of decent penalty shouts.
:04:40. > :04:44.Then a couple of minutes before half-time it looked like Craig
:04:45. > :04:50.Curran looked down after a challenge from Ryan Edwards but the TV
:04:51. > :04:56.pictures showed that as soft. So county coming close to a goal. A
:04:57. > :05:01.Marcus Fraser header. But county, the slightly the better of the
:05:02. > :05:09.sides. But pretty uninspiring stuff. Down to the championship, to the
:05:10. > :05:12.bottom two clubs, St Mirren and Ayr United.
:05:13. > :05:17.David had this been on the dance floor it would have been a ballroom
:05:18. > :05:26.blitz. A four goal blitz. Mallan volleyed
:05:27. > :05:38.in the first. Then Gary Mackenzie bundled the ball. And McGinn too,
:05:39. > :05:51.then Kyle Magennis angling one in. On this form, St Mirren are at four,
:05:52. > :05:59.Ayr United nil. And over to the Dunfermline Athletic
:06:00. > :06:06.versus Hibernian. A daisy cutter, along the ground
:06:07. > :06:12.beyond Shaun Murdoch. No chance. The homeside have not
:06:13. > :06:20.really been in the game. Paul McMullan was quick to pounce on
:06:21. > :06:35.the goal but could not get a punch in to equalise for Dunfermline. No
:06:36. > :06:43.Rocket stuff here this afternoon. Dunfermline Dover chartie Mann.
:06:44. > :06:48.Morton are held 0-0 by Dumbarton. Jim thank you Duffy came on to the
:06:49. > :06:51.pitch at the beginning of the game. A standing ovation obviously after
:06:52. > :06:55.what happened mid-week. I spoke to Jim before the game. He says he is
:06:56. > :07:00.embarrassed by the whole thing but would not have done anything
:07:01. > :07:05.differently from what he did. Interestingly, the Morton people are
:07:06. > :07:10.expecting, obviously Hibs are there next Saturday. They are not changing
:07:11. > :07:15.security arrangements, they believe that both managers will be in the
:07:16. > :07:19.stands for that game. But this game, no chance.
:07:20. > :07:24.A header off the line for dumb barton.
:07:25. > :07:28.Shanklin hit the bar for Morton. And then a shot from 20 yards that was
:07:29. > :07:33.canoned off the post and going past. Still goaless. All the talk before
:07:34. > :07:38.the game. Much more after. Last week Dundee United won the
:07:39. > :07:42.Challenge Cup. This week to the Queen of the South. Derek Ferguson
:07:43. > :07:48.is there for us. They are not having their own way as
:07:49. > :07:52.Queen of the South lead 2-1. And another brilliant effort from
:07:53. > :07:59.Dobbie. He has had a couple of attempts. Queen started the game in
:08:00. > :08:05.positive fashion. Taking the game to Dundee.
:08:06. > :08:12.Dobbie coming close earlier. Then he slotted one home from 16
:08:13. > :08:17.yards out. Eight minutes later, Mikkelssen
:08:18. > :08:25.latched on to a ball over the top. Squeezed home a fine finish from ten
:08:26. > :08:32.yards out. Queen of the South took time to regain composure but then
:08:33. > :08:37.the sucker punch with Steve be Dobbie put through by Thomas, making
:08:38. > :08:41.no mistake, slamming the ball home from 12 minutes out two minutes
:08:42. > :08:46.before the break. A cracking first 45 minutes.
:08:47. > :08:53.Yin of the south, two, Dundee United, one.
:08:54. > :08:59.Now to Falkirk Stadium, the Bairns against Raith Rovers.
:09:00. > :09:05.Well it is 0-0 but two great saves to ensure that Raith Rovers reached
:09:06. > :09:13.the interval. The Kirkcaldy club have worked hard.
:09:14. > :09:19.They have scored two away league goals since winning here at Falkirk.
:09:20. > :09:25.By contrast The Bairns have knocked the ball around with pace and
:09:26. > :09:34.composure. Craig hit the bar earlier on.
:09:35. > :09:40.Around an angle wide but Falkirk unable to convert the pressure into
:09:41. > :09:43.goals. Up until now, that is. Another goal in the championship
:09:44. > :09:50.basement battle. It is for St Mirren. A lovely goal.
:09:51. > :10:01.Lewis Morgan switched on to it. From 18 yards, picking the spot. Firing
:10:02. > :10:08.it low and hard. Here it is St Mirren, five, and Ayr United, nil.
:10:09. > :10:15.Our cameraman is a fan of St Mirren. He will be wearing his lucky cap all
:10:16. > :10:19.week. So, the talking point, St Johnston
:10:20. > :10:23.down to nine men and two players sent off for fighting.
:10:24. > :10:30.Sniechlth It is incredible. We have not seen all of it. No. But
:10:31. > :10:36.bits of it. We can see what has been happening. Somebody throws a punch,
:10:37. > :10:40.somebody kicks somebody else. But the Hamilton players got involved
:10:41. > :10:46.and Crawford was booked. They are being good Samaritans? No,
:10:47. > :10:54.you should let them get on with it. Has it ever happened to you on the
:10:55. > :10:57.pitch? Surely not? Maybe a few fracas, handbag stuff.
:10:58. > :11:05.It was more than handbags. It was. Definitely.
:11:06. > :11:09.Michael, it was a most un-St Johnston likes cappade? Yes.
:11:10. > :11:13.Considering where they are in the league. The chance to close in on
:11:14. > :11:20.Rangers. They could have pulled ahead. To go down to nine men. Tommy
:11:21. > :11:24.Wright will be absolutely raging. It is self-inflicted. I'm sure a few
:11:25. > :11:28.harsh words being said at half-time. It would appear at the moment it
:11:29. > :11:34.will be difficult for them to get three points. Closing in on Rangers,
:11:35. > :11:40.and pulling ahead of Hearts. What an opportunity for Hamilton.
:11:41. > :11:45.For them to go to a full second half up against nine men.
:11:46. > :11:52.It is said that ten men are difficult to beat but surely nine
:11:53. > :11:58.men aren't? The phrase of the week has been "square goal", we have now
:11:59. > :12:05.seen one. Never mind Duffy and Neil. You now have Swanson and are Ricky.
:12:06. > :12:12.This is a better story as it two guys on the same team.
:12:13. > :12:22.A better story? We can't condone that story, this is the BBC,
:12:23. > :12:28.Michael! They should be controlling themselves. Is this because it's the
:12:29. > :12:32.end of the season? I don't know. This is a stab in the dark, I think
:12:33. > :12:38.there is needle there previously. For it to blow up like that so badly
:12:39. > :12:44.during a game it is maybe something that has been going on for a couple
:12:45. > :12:49.of weeks. Somebody is not tracking runners or something like that has
:12:50. > :12:54.led to it. I would be amazed if that is one incident that led to them
:12:55. > :13:02.kicking and punching. It has taken them all by surprise.
:13:03. > :13:08.So that overshadowed the big score line of the day for me so far,
:13:09. > :13:16.Motherwell one up away to Rangers. They have not won there for ages.
:13:17. > :13:19.Rangers seem to be getting things right, and now Motherwell are one
:13:20. > :13:24.up. Kenny Miller scored later on to win
:13:25. > :13:28.the game earlier in the season. But the first game for the new coach. No
:13:29. > :13:35.doubt about it. But this is one game. If they don't manage to pull
:13:36. > :13:39.off a victory it is steps backwards and they will be disappointed.
:13:40. > :13:44.Interesting scorelines in the championship.
:13:45. > :13:49.Mikkelssen scoring again. The hero in the Challenge Cup final
:13:50. > :13:54.last week. Dundee United, if they win, Michael, they are assured of a
:13:55. > :14:01.play-off spot? I think that is what they are playing for. I can't see
:14:02. > :14:05.United not being in a play-off spot. Or in or not being in the Champions
:14:06. > :14:11.League. So, looking to make a last push to
:14:12. > :14:15.get back into the top flight. But the play-off places, we don't know
:14:16. > :14:23.the order but I think we know the clubs.
:14:24. > :14:27.And the biggest score line of the day, St Mirren, five, and Ayr
:14:28. > :14:32.United. What does that say about Ayr now?
:14:33. > :14:39.This is a huge psychological result for them. Clearly, St Mirren have
:14:40. > :14:47.been on the ascendency, Ayr have been getting a few results. To go to
:14:48. > :14:53.paisley to get smashed. With a game in hand... It's momentum
:14:54. > :15:00.if you are a team at the bottom of the league, it is priceless and Ayr
:15:01. > :15:05.are going the other way across. With the team that they have got,
:15:06. > :15:10.it's a good team. We watched them against Celtic. I
:15:11. > :15:15.was there. They played well up to the final ten or 15 minutes.
:15:16. > :15:21.Excellent. Brendan came out after the game and gave lots of plaudits.
:15:22. > :15:25.Maybe a little bit of something about the other teams he was playing
:15:26. > :15:30.against but certainly raving about them. It has carried on. But that's
:15:31. > :15:36.a tremendous result. The big game in the English Premier
:15:37. > :15:52.League, may not be so significant in the title but a Merseyside Derby,
:15:53. > :16:00.and Guy Ritchie was at -- guy Mowbry was at the game for us.
:16:01. > :16:08.Little v Everton. And the score is 3-2.
:16:09. > :16:11.3-1. And in as in any Derby, a few tackles to test the patience. Ross
:16:12. > :16:18.3-1. And in as in any Derby, a few Barkley booked. Lucky to be still on
:16:19. > :16:25.the field. And the result never looking in doubt, as Origi made it
:16:26. > :16:30.3-1 on the hour. Liverpool, three, Everton, one.
:16:31. > :16:36.The footballing week weekend in Scotland kicked off at Dens Park.
:16:37. > :16:40.Defeat for the Dons rendering Celtic uncatchable at the top of the
:16:41. > :16:45.league. Dundee ended up chasing shadows last night. Here is the best
:16:46. > :16:51.or the worst of the action, depending on which team you follow.
:16:52. > :16:56.Described by leap unanimous McLeod. The Dons two wins out of twos
:16:57. > :17:00.against the Ds. McGinn flights the corner in.
:17:01. > :17:06.Close to given Aberdeen an early advantage there.
:17:07. > :17:10.The Rangers manager is an interested spectator. Facing Aberdeen on Sunday
:17:11. > :17:20.week. And this time it's a score!
:17:21. > :17:27.Considine. He had a chance earlier but he buried that one. Aberdeen
:17:28. > :17:32.have been the dominant force with a deserved leave at Dens. Back to 2004
:17:33. > :17:40.to get a Dundee league win over Aberdeen. That's Rooney's flick. And
:17:41. > :17:53.Bane does enough. Seemed to catch him out for a moment. The little
:17:54. > :18:03.flick towards the goal. Lugean... Rooney! You can't argue
:18:04. > :18:09.with that for a cross! And Adam Rooney desours that kind of service.
:18:10. > :18:22.2-0, Aberdeen. The flick of the head of the number nine in red.
:18:23. > :18:34.A chance here perhaps for Kenny McClain... 3-0! Really fine finish
:18:35. > :18:43.by Kenny McClain. It could be game, set and match already.
:18:44. > :18:50.Aberdeen are turning it on. McLean gets there.
:18:51. > :18:58.He still has work to do but it's a lovely finish from Aberdeen's Man of
:18:59. > :19:05.the Moment, Kenny McLean. McGinn... He seems to sail across
:19:06. > :19:15.the pitch, Niall McGinn. Gliding from one side to the other.
:19:16. > :19:22.This is shiny... This is Considine again! This is absolutely stunning!
:19:23. > :19:29.4-0, Aberdeen. You can hear what the home fans make
:19:30. > :19:35.of it. You can also hear what the Aberdeen fans up the other end of
:19:36. > :19:42.the stand make of it. An incredible 4-0 away from home score line before
:19:43. > :19:48.the break. Aberdeen 4-0 up against Motherwell at Pittodrie recently at
:19:49. > :19:52.half-time. Lively stacked for the second half
:19:53. > :20:03.by Dundee, who have nothing to lose now. The game's gone. Badhataoui,
:20:04. > :20:10.who scored a screamer last week against Celtic.
:20:11. > :20:16.Shiny to Hayes. You wonder if Aberdeen fancy more goals. That's
:20:17. > :20:24.Johnny Hayes. This is Jack, and the antibiotic is, yes, they do! Ryan
:20:25. > :20:31.Jack! Whose only other goal this season came against Dundee. That was
:20:32. > :20:38.his first in two years. It makes it 5-0 to Aberdeen.
:20:39. > :20:51.It's a turkey shoot in the City of Discovery.
:20:52. > :20:58.Scott Wright. He replaced Kenny McLean not so long ago. That's
:20:59. > :21:03.Christie, thanks McGinn and that is number six. There will be a
:21:04. > :21:08.generation, if not two generations of Aberdeen fans that will not have
:21:09. > :21:14.seen their team run amok away like this from home. Gomez definitely
:21:15. > :21:22.gets a touch on to this. It is weather it's an own goal or it's
:21:23. > :21:30.McGinn's. Really worrying times for Paul Hartley and this game's not
:21:31. > :21:39.done yet. Ryan Chrissie's... Considine! Hat-trick! Number seven
:21:40. > :21:46.for the Dons, who are in seventh heaven now.
:21:47. > :21:54.A quite astonishing night at Dense Park. We hear from a delighted
:21:55. > :22:04.Aberdeen manager, shortly after a whole heap of goal updates. Ibrox
:22:05. > :22:07.and the home side have equalised to level after Moult put Motherwell
:22:08. > :22:13.ahead three minutes into the game. Now to Firhill. There is a goal
:22:14. > :22:17.between Partick Thistle and Ross County.
:22:18. > :22:24.There has been. Ross County leading by a goal to nil. Craig Curran the
:22:25. > :22:34.man who smashed the ball home. A good run down the right-hand side by
:22:35. > :22:40.Martin Cut back. Sloppy at the back and Curran pounced on the
:22:41. > :22:45.opportunity to lash it past. Thistle off the boil, despite coming
:22:46. > :22:50.into the match in good form. Chris Erskine, their inspirational force,
:22:51. > :23:01.he has been substituted. But, would you believe it, Chris Doolan has
:23:02. > :23:08.flashed the ball past the box and Doolan pulls Partick Thistle level.
:23:09. > :23:11.A fine finish from the front man it is Partick Thistle, one, Ross
:23:12. > :23:17.County, one. And den firm Lynne against league
:23:18. > :23:25.leaders Hibs, Brian? A goal for the homeside. From the penalty spot.
:23:26. > :23:31.Nicky Clarke inside the Hibernian 18-yard box. Trying to flick the
:23:32. > :23:37.ball around. The referee and the assistant seemed to take ages to
:23:38. > :23:50.decide if it was a penalty kick. And then pointed to the spot.
:23:51. > :23:59.Although Marchiano kicked the ball into the back of the net.
:24:00. > :24:04.Lots happening against, let's go to Ibrox first. Rangers back in it.
:24:05. > :24:08.Michael, as perhaps, given as you would have expected given the recent
:24:09. > :24:13.matches between Rangers and Motherwell.
:24:14. > :24:20.36 games that Motherwell have not won at Ibrox.
:24:21. > :24:24.One win in the past 20 seasons. That does play a significance in
:24:25. > :24:28.terms of teams going a certain stadium and you get a feel for
:24:29. > :24:35.having a good record there. With a record as bad as that, that plays in
:24:36. > :24:40.some people's minds and the fans' minds. I'm not surprised that
:24:41. > :24:54.Rangers are pulling it back. But at 1-1. This it is anyone's game.
:24:55. > :25:00.Higginbottom, he deserves credit for stepping up.
:25:01. > :25:05.If he is a penalty taker, they will put the responsibility on his
:25:06. > :25:10.shoulders. Hibs surprise you. They may stumble a little bit but I think
:25:11. > :25:16.that the focus is switching towards the Cup semi-final in two or three
:25:17. > :25:21.weeks. There will be a few happy Hibs fans at the result of the
:25:22. > :25:26.cheaper direct insurance. Are you on a commission? Not so much
:25:27. > :25:34.happening at Firhill. But kicking into life now.
:25:35. > :25:39.Doolan levelling. And Partick Thistle bouncing back
:25:40. > :25:46.quickly. That is a big game. They have been going OK. Come off it in
:25:47. > :25:51.the last couple of weeks. I am impressed by them. And this is a
:25:52. > :25:56.good response. And Aberdeen fans, I have not
:25:57. > :25:59.forgotten about Derek McInnes yes, sir.
:26:00. > :26:04.Here he is. What I would say is that they played
:26:05. > :26:09.the way that they do play. I ask for that a loft the time. Trusting each
:26:10. > :26:14.other with the ball. There was concentration to get the
:26:15. > :26:21.clean seat that we spoke about in the half-time. So, all in all, you
:26:22. > :26:28.don't get so many nights like that. Like you, I enjoyed watching my team
:26:29. > :26:32.play. And the Considine scoring a
:26:33. > :26:37.hat-trick? You know you have had a good night when he scores a
:26:38. > :26:41.hat-trick. Great determination. Almost the perfect performance when
:26:42. > :26:47.he is willing. Great delivery from Christie. Great to see Andy, he is
:26:48. > :26:51.an attacking threat. We feel it. But we don't expect him to score the
:26:52. > :26:58.hat-trick every week but well done to him.
:26:59. > :27:04.Michael Grant, look at that face. More delighted than Derek McInnes.
:27:05. > :27:11.This is impressive as it's away from home? They were superb last night.
:27:12. > :27:15.You can put some focus on the Dundee defending. That was poor. Not
:27:16. > :27:22.dealing with the crosses into the box. But Aberdeen's finishing was
:27:23. > :27:27.good. Some movement and the attacking was strong. Also four
:27:28. > :27:34.games in a row, four clean sheets in a row. So they are a solid side
:27:35. > :27:45.playing really confident football. Have we ever had a defender score a
:27:46. > :27:50.hat-trick like that? There have been some players listed but I can't
:27:51. > :27:54.recall any in the top flight. And his show from set pieces. And he
:27:55. > :28:01.does that regularly. He is good for a goal, Considine.
:28:02. > :28:07.With a left-back with his strength and height, that is a real employ
:28:08. > :28:13.coming in around the back. He gets on the end of things that. That was
:28:14. > :28:18.a big night for him. And of course the context going into
:28:19. > :28:23.an important match at home to Rangers and the race for second.
:28:24. > :28:35.That will boost their moral. Of course. Aberdeen are buoyant.
:28:36. > :28:41.Last season, they won nine, ten games in a row. They have built a
:28:42. > :28:44.consistency from that point. That's the reason they are sitting
:28:45. > :28:49.comfortable in second place. The game next week will be a huge game.
:28:50. > :28:53.Regardless of what the results are this afternoon it will be a really
:28:54. > :28:59.bill game. And interestingly, he took Kenny
:29:00. > :29:06.McLean off after an hour. Saving him for next week? Could be. But they
:29:07. > :29:11.play mid-week and Inverness A bogey team.
:29:12. > :29:16.Yes. But the point about the consistency of the team is right.
:29:17. > :29:20.Ryan Christie has not been able to break into the tat side.
:29:21. > :29:25.I'm surprised by that. I'm surprised by that.
:29:26. > :29:28.. But I think it is a compliment to the way that the team has been
:29:29. > :29:34.playing. And tansy, getting it on a signature
:29:35. > :29:41.for him. That will boost him. About a
:29:42. > :29:45.year-and-a-half ago, he was creating set pieces but that adds to the
:29:46. > :29:51.team. It will continue the strength of
:29:52. > :29:55.Aberdeen. If you look the Derek McKenzie's acquisitions, they are
:29:56. > :30:00.all good. Nothing to take a punt on. They are going around and they are
:30:01. > :30:06.cherry-picking teams. It's a clever way to go about your business.
:30:07. > :30:14.For a player to get him to stand up, to get him up to Aberdeen, and to
:30:15. > :30:22.make money. But does it create the challenge? A big question mark or
:30:23. > :30:27.Ryan Jack. Ryan Jack goes, Tansy comes in. I
:30:28. > :30:30.would not be overly disappointed if I was an Aberdeen fan.
:30:31. > :30:38.You would be disappointed if I was an Aberdeen fan.
:30:39. > :30:42.were Dundee fan? Defending there was woeful and from the open play. At
:30:43. > :30:46.this time of the year with such a hammering.
:30:47. > :30:54.The fourth defeat on the bounce. That's the momentum you don't want.
:30:55. > :30:59.It will be a problem there. We didn't hear from pall Hartley, in
:31:00. > :31:03.the dressing room conducting the postmortem. But he said that they
:31:04. > :31:09.were in the dog fight. Good choice of words.
:31:10. > :31:15.It has been so book about four weeks. The best way to get out of it
:31:16. > :31:20.is to make sure you get sixth place. What a world of difference between
:31:21. > :31:24.sixth and seventh when the league is this tight. Virtually anyone in the
:31:25. > :31:30.bottom calf is in danger of going down. I imagine when you get into
:31:31. > :31:34.ASCII cava game, into six place, what a difference your last five
:31:35. > :31:43.games would be. Imagine it goes the other way... We will go to Ibrox now
:31:44. > :31:49.in the match between Rangers and Motherwell. 1-1 in there. Joe Garner
:31:50. > :31:57.equalising in the second half after Louis Moult put Motherwell up in the
:31:58. > :32:01.first-half. 1-1 at Ibrox. Back to New Douglas Park. Hamilton against
:32:02. > :32:07.St Johnstone. Has it calms down? It remains 0-0. Let's get through the
:32:08. > :32:14.football. Craig Docherty with and excellent chance in the fourth
:32:15. > :32:17.minute. There was a great shot batted away by the St Johnstone
:32:18. > :32:21.keeper. After that, lack of quality in the first-half. St Johnstone did
:32:22. > :32:27.not offer much but it is about that altercation at half-time he that New
:32:28. > :32:28.Douglas Park. Quite incredible. A verbal exchange between Richard
:32:29. > :32:33.Douglas Park. Quite incredible. A Foster and Danny Swanson. Foster
:32:34. > :32:40.seemed to him a punch at Swanson and then he retaliated by appealing to
:32:41. > :32:45.kick Swanson in the face. Other players intervened. Before long, it
:32:46. > :32:47.seemed every player on the pitch was involved in front of the tunnel
:32:48. > :32:52.seemed every player on the pitch was area. It was incredible, given the
:32:53. > :32:55.fracas between Neil Lennon and Jim Duffy. This is much bigger in terms
:32:56. > :33:04.of the amount of people involved. The referee sent off both Foster and
:33:05. > :33:13.Swanson. He brandished yellow cards to Crawford and Devlin as well. It
:33:14. > :33:18.seems like the football second half is a complete afterthought. It makes
:33:19. > :33:26.me think that I can't wait to see the video analysis of this role. --
:33:27. > :33:34.brawl. Take an update from Inverness.
:33:35. > :33:38.Inverness are pressing in the second half. There was a good effort
:33:39. > :33:41.touched wide. They need to pick up three points in this game but as
:33:42. > :33:47.things stand, they will not lose ground on the teams above them if
:33:48. > :33:52.things stay the same way. It is hard to see where a goal could come from
:33:53. > :33:59.right now. It seems, are happy to remain solid and perhaps because the
:34:00. > :34:02.hosts. There was a penalty claim when Kris Boyd look to be running
:34:03. > :34:06.clear. He was challenged but it seemed like the defender got the
:34:07. > :34:11.ball. One point would seem like a good result for, but is it enough
:34:12. > :34:15.for Inverness? Aberdeen and up next. Who knows, but expect them to choose
:34:16. > :34:19.a winner as time ticks on. For now, 1-1.
:34:20. > :34:26.Who is chasing a winner at Firhill? Partick Thistle against Ross County.
:34:27. > :34:28.At the moment, Partick Thistle are chasing the winner. They have not
:34:29. > :34:32.really been in the match, particularly up to the point in
:34:33. > :34:36.which Kris Doolan smashed in the equaliser which are told about a few
:34:37. > :34:41.minutes ago. Craig Curran, having put Ross County ahead. Kris Doolan
:34:42. > :34:46.putting Partick Thistle back into the game with his 100th goal. Since
:34:47. > :34:50.then, it is all Partick Thistle. Alan Archibald might be frustrated
:34:51. > :34:53.that it has taken going one goal behind to have a good performance
:34:54. > :34:57.but they are the better team as Newsbeat. Liam Lindsay had a couple
:34:58. > :35:03.of chances. There was a header pushed away by Scott Fox and then
:35:04. > :35:08.after years -- a great shot blocked by the goalkeeper. Partick Thistle
:35:09. > :35:14.looking like the more likely side if there is to be a winner, but at the
:35:15. > :35:19.moment, it is still 1-1. Off to the championship and Beasley,
:35:20. > :35:23.St Mirren and Ayr United. -- Paisley.
:35:24. > :35:37.The public have done dating decent numbers. St Mirren were up five
:35:38. > :35:47.goals but a few minutes ago, Cairney got one back for Ayr United.
:35:48. > :35:51.Let's hope there is not a serious injury to the young winger who was
:35:52. > :36:08.stretchered off. Lee Miller has put the Bairns 1-0
:36:09. > :36:09.up. There was inevitable strike from
:36:10. > :36:16.John McGinn. Real daisy cutter into There was inevitable strike from
:36:17. > :36:19.the bottom of the goal, giving Sean Ward up no chance. Hibs were
:36:20. > :36:24.controlling the game in the first half. However, the equaliser came
:36:25. > :36:28.just before the 60 minute mark. Controversial circumstances. The
:36:29. > :36:33.referee pointed to the spot. As the ball was played into the box, it
:36:34. > :36:37.might have come off the arm of Hibernian defender. Nothing was
:36:38. > :36:41.given initially but his linesman and Greg Egan and eventually decided it
:36:42. > :36:55.was a penalty. Up stepped Calum Howarth and bottom to smash the goal
:36:56. > :36:58.into the net. -- Calum Howarth. Hibs are just about on top but it
:36:59. > :37:03.looks like it is one point apiece at the moment.
:37:04. > :37:09.Two tomorrow, and Celtic's chance to win the Premiership title in the
:37:10. > :37:12.first weekend in April. They need to beat Hearts at Tynecastle to do it.
:37:13. > :37:25.You can listen to the match on BBC Radio Scotland on sports and --
:37:26. > :37:29.Sportsound. All the can do is delay the inevitable. But that may seem
:37:30. > :37:38.unlikely, given how the plane, including a showing against Aberdeen
:37:39. > :37:41.a few weeks ago. It was insipid, it was poor. They did not show any
:37:42. > :37:47.structure to what they were doing. Aberdeen exploited the white areas
:37:48. > :37:52.with McGinn and his. It was a wonderful ball in from McGinn.
:37:53. > :37:55.Hearts were exposed in wide areas. Very similar to what happened at
:37:56. > :38:04.Tynecastle when Aberdeen beat them then. It is a huge game for both
:38:05. > :38:08.sides. Celtic have the chance to win the title but for Hearts, a lot
:38:09. > :38:19.riding on this as well because it has not been a great start to the
:38:20. > :38:22.managerial tenure for Ian Cathro. If they lose the game and Celtic win
:38:23. > :38:28.the title at Tynecastle, it will not be a great atmosphere for the fan.
:38:29. > :38:33.Things are picking up four Partick Thistle and Ross County?
:38:34. > :38:38.Partick Thistle were the team working for the winner as I
:38:39. > :38:45.explained. And it is that man, Kris Doolan, again. His 101st goal. It
:38:46. > :38:54.was a beautiful 12 on the edge of the box. -- 1-2.
:38:55. > :39:00.We will get back to talking about Hearts and Celtic in a minute. Queen
:39:01. > :39:11.in the South are winning 3-2 at home against Dundee United. Lyndon Dykes
:39:12. > :39:20.with the goal. Hearts have gone into a bit of a
:39:21. > :39:24.slump recently. It has gone a little bit pear shaped
:39:25. > :39:32.after things were looking up recently. I was asking, how does the
:39:33. > :39:35.manager want to play? There has not been an answer for me yet. We're not
:39:36. > :39:41.sure how he really wants to play yet. If he wants to pass it and so
:39:42. > :39:45.on. But you have to put the demand on the players. He has a couple of
:39:46. > :39:52.great players... He made changes in January. Should you not expect
:39:53. > :39:56.inconsistency? You need these guys to stand up. This is Scottish
:39:57. > :39:58.football. You can past the ball around but the aggression in
:39:59. > :40:03.Scottish football something you used to. There is a quality player they
:40:04. > :40:09.have in the middle of the pitch but he gets caught on the ball at times.
:40:10. > :40:14.Celtic will be on the front foot tomorrow, they will be aggressive,
:40:15. > :40:18.they have a big thing to play for. Celtic have been relentless this
:40:19. > :40:23.season. You can expect nothing else at Tynecastle tomorrow. They will be
:40:24. > :40:26.up on that tomorrow. I look at Hearts and I think, there is a lot
:40:27. > :40:30.of talent in the side but I look at the management team as well, they
:40:31. > :40:39.have no leadership. Whereas, this team... Plenty of talent on show.
:40:40. > :40:44.They weren't as good as they have been so far this season in the last
:40:45. > :40:47.game. In the last couple against Rangers, and then this game, they
:40:48. > :40:51.have not sparkled as they have so much the season so far. But they
:40:52. > :40:56.still have the unbeaten record. They could still go to dens Park and
:40:57. > :41:04.grind out the win with a couple of bits of quality. There is a lot of
:41:05. > :41:08.pride in that team to maintain this unbeaten record. There is a lot more
:41:09. > :41:13.records to chase. He has been very clever in how he set out the targets
:41:14. > :41:16.at the start of the year. All the targets are still there. It is quite
:41:17. > :41:17.incredible. Going through the season unbeaten, winning the championship
:41:18. > :41:22.incredible. Going through the season by so many points, goals against,
:41:23. > :41:28.goals for... There is probably about ten things. You Mac you think he
:41:29. > :41:36.said, let's go through the season unbeaten, at the start? Has it been
:41:37. > :41:42.built up? I think it has been built up as it has gone on. I hear talk
:41:43. > :41:47.about the expectations of Celtic and Brendan Rodgers, but what he has
:41:48. > :41:52.done is remarkable. He has turned round players who were very average
:41:53. > :41:58.last year, NRA is, into being... Stuart Armstrong as an example.
:41:59. > :42:00.Example. Their opening league game in the season was at Tynecastle and
:42:01. > :42:07.Scott Sinclair scored. He has never looked back. He had an incredible
:42:08. > :42:13.run at the start of the season scoring in every game. It was
:42:14. > :42:18.incredible. Tynecastle, straightaway, wind, and they have
:42:19. > :42:25.never looked back. How will it go tomorrow? Celtic will win it. But
:42:26. > :42:30.they think it will be tight. There's also a bit of history in the sense
:42:31. > :42:33.that, going way back to 1986 when I was involved and we stopped Hearts
:42:34. > :42:37.the league, that might be in the mind of the fans. I do not know
:42:38. > :42:51.these players will know too much about it. Craig Levein will remember
:42:52. > :42:55.it. Hearts, and Ian Cathro, where very passive and a number of
:42:56. > :42:57.performances. They cannot be like that tomorrow. They have to have
:42:58. > :43:01.some aggression and character tomorrow as well as the technical
:43:02. > :43:08.qualities. Celtic tend to do well at Tynecastle. It will be a really good
:43:09. > :43:23.contest. I was reading their Hearts manager saying that Craig Levein
:43:24. > :43:27.will not be in the dressing room. You can do certain things when you
:43:28. > :43:32.win games that will not be noticed or is spoken about, but as soon as
:43:33. > :43:35.the results don't go your way, questions will be asked. That is
:43:36. > :43:39.inevitable. Regardless of whether it is a result you do not get the
:43:40. > :43:46.result, for me, the director of football should not be in a dressing
:43:47. > :43:50.room. I agree. It is a no-no. You can talk after the game, analyse it,
:43:51. > :43:53.and that is what the director of football is for. But you cannot get
:43:54. > :43:58.involved in the dressing room. I cannot see how that works. I think
:43:59. > :44:05.you undermine the manager right away.
:44:06. > :44:08.The directors giving me a message right now. He is telling me to shut
:44:09. > :44:14.up because we are going round the grounds again. Over to Ibrox.
:44:15. > :44:19.Rangers against Motherwell. Third versus the bottom. It is all square.
:44:20. > :44:24.1-1, Joe Garner from Rangers in the second half, Louis Moult in the
:44:25. > :44:27.first-half. Let's head to Hamilton and find out
:44:28. > :44:29.what is happening in that game. Goal was when we last called upon the
:44:30. > :44:35.game. Any changes? I am afraid not. was when we last called upon the
:44:36. > :44:40.There was a huge draw from the home crowd as the Hamilton Academical
:44:41. > :44:48.team came out for the second half. That followed the Swanson and foster
:44:49. > :44:53.sendings-off after that bizarre bust up before half-time.
:44:54. > :44:57.St Johnstone have camped in around the penalty area and Hamilton have
:44:58. > :45:02.try to find a way through. They just haven't managed it. As I say that, a
:45:03. > :45:05.great chance, possibly the best of the match, falling to Crawford on
:45:06. > :45:12.the edge of the box. It was a first time shot and brilliant save from
:45:13. > :45:19.the goalkeeper. Hamilton keeping up the pressure and trying to find a
:45:20. > :45:23.way through. And a shot just went narrowly wide there. The question
:45:24. > :45:31.is, can they get the point? They were greeted with roaring at the
:45:32. > :45:36.start of half-time. There will be some booing if they don't get the
:45:37. > :45:40.result you. There was a chance for Conor Sammon
:45:41. > :45:46.near. It just went over the bar. You can sense the urgency of the home
:45:47. > :45:50.crowd. They believe they should be capitalising at home. Billy McKay
:45:51. > :45:58.had a first-time effort adding the penalty spot. , have had a decent
:45:59. > :46:06.couple of chances. Jordan Jones had a volley at close range. Goalkeeper
:46:07. > :46:10.did well to block the shot. It could go either way. You imagine, will be
:46:11. > :46:18.happy at this point. I expect Inverness to push on.
:46:19. > :46:23.Let's head to Firhill. Is it still the same scoreline? It is still the
:46:24. > :46:26.same. There isn't a real threat from Ross County as they try to salvage a
:46:27. > :46:30.point from this game. Although the last time they were here, Chris Arc
:46:31. > :46:37.scored a 90th minute equaliser. They are not out of it yet but it looks
:46:38. > :46:46.like at the moment, Partick Thistle's good unbeaten run will be
:46:47. > :46:50.extended. Ross County have one win in eight going into this match. It
:46:51. > :46:55.does not look like they will improve on that. Kris Doolan is the man of
:46:56. > :46:58.the moment. Two posted on this game on its head.
:46:59. > :47:09.Couple of goals for Jim Spence to tell us about in Paisley. You're
:47:10. > :47:11.busy today! There's a few minutes left, it was
:47:12. > :47:32.made 5-2, then 6-2 it in. -- 6-2.
:47:33. > :47:37.Let's head to Dunfermline. Five minutes to go. Hibernian
:47:38. > :47:44.deservedly took the lead in the first half through McGinn's goal.
:47:45. > :47:49.There was a colli is a controversial from the penalty spot from
:47:50. > :47:53.Dunfermline. If this is a drop, this will be Hibernian's 12 draw in 31
:47:54. > :47:58.league games. It is hard in the form of championship winning sides.
:47:59. > :48:07.However, they are on course for a return to the top flight of Scottish
:48:08. > :48:14.football. Well, Dunfermline 1-1 Hibernian. They are picking up
:48:15. > :48:21.points regularly. Their march to the title seems inexorable. I expect
:48:22. > :48:25.them to win the title. It seems almost since the Edinburgh derby cup
:48:26. > :48:28.victory, there have been a lot of draws. Inevitably, that will happen.
:48:29. > :48:33.You talk about the consistency of Celtic in the top flight into it is
:48:34. > :48:37.difficult when complacency slipped in. It can happen to Hibs as well.
:48:38. > :48:40.They are by far the best team in that division but it is difficult to
:48:41. > :48:44.raise yourself against the teams, especially when they have had a lot
:48:45. > :48:48.of cup games against top-flight teams. I think they will win it but
:48:49. > :48:54.to dislike the inevitable that they will get the draw here and there.
:48:55. > :48:58.They can talk about draws after they get up. This year is all about
:48:59. > :49:04.getting up. Getting to the semifinal is a bonus... That semifinal is
:49:05. > :49:10.looming and you see the former Aberdeen are in. I think Hibernian
:49:11. > :49:19.fancy themselves against the big clubs. I can see that just now. --
:49:20. > :49:25.cannot see. Next week, they play Morton... If you look at the record
:49:26. > :49:36.of Hibs in the cup, the record has been really good. Heidi worried now?
:49:37. > :49:50.-- are you worried now? Ever since the draw was made...
:49:51. > :49:55.There has been a goal. It has come for Hamilton. Great play from
:49:56. > :50:02.Hamilton to create the opening in the box. The ball fell kindly to the
:50:03. > :50:05.striker and he got a shot away. It has left the nine St Johnstone
:50:06. > :50:10.players remaining on the pitch with head and hands. They defended
:50:11. > :50:14.stoutly in the second half, after that incredible role at half-time
:50:15. > :50:20.that sort Swanson and Foster sent off. St Johnstone were hoping to
:50:21. > :50:24.come away with a 0-0 draw and they almost got there but Hamilton
:50:25. > :50:27.Academical found a way through. It is 1-0 to Hamilton. This could be a
:50:28. > :50:32.huge three points at New Douglas Park.
:50:33. > :50:39.Phil Cain scores are trickling in very slowly. The first of which
:50:40. > :50:44.comes from Derek Ferguson. He is at the Queen of the South and Dundee
:50:45. > :50:50.United match. What a game it was. The first half so wonderful play
:50:51. > :50:55.from both sides. The home side took a deserved lead. There was a
:50:56. > :50:57.perfectly weighted pass to put Derek Lyle Frew. He made no mistake,
:50:58. > :51:14.slotting home from 15 yards. Queen of the South responded to
:51:15. > :51:22.minutes from half-time. The impressive Dobbie played in Derek
:51:23. > :51:31.Lyle was a calm finish. Dixon had a stinging shot that the
:51:32. > :51:36.goalkeeper could not deal with. That went straight to the feet of Thomas
:51:37. > :51:41.Mickelson, slamming home from six yards out. That was his second of
:51:42. > :51:53.the day. Queen of the South find more in the tank to edge ahead on
:51:54. > :51:58.the 81st minute. Lyndon Dykes scored with a volley.
:51:59. > :52:11.There was a cross for Lyndon Dijks tell -- Lyndon Dykes at the back
:52:12. > :52:21.post, it be bounded and Tilson scored on the 89th minute.
:52:22. > :52:26.Over to Dumbarton. It is an important day for Dumbarton and
:52:27. > :52:33.teams at the bottom of the table. Just one goal between them and
:52:34. > :52:41.Morton. It came on 60 minutes. Lowest foreign -- Vaughn with the
:52:42. > :52:46.goal, his second of the season. It was really the only talking point of
:52:47. > :52:51.the game. Quite quiet other than that. There was a header off the
:52:52. > :52:58.line for Dumbarton after 40 minutes. Shankland had one cleared from the
:52:59. > :53:04.line for Morton on 35 minutes. Martin obviously looking to continue
:53:05. > :53:08.pushing for a place in the top four. They went to try and get the
:53:09. > :53:11.equaliser. Shankland had a header into the back of the net but the
:53:12. > :53:19.referee pushed it aside and said, that was a foul, no goal. Really
:53:20. > :53:21.important for Dumbarton. Only their eighth win of the season. The first
:53:22. > :53:23.important for Dumbarton. Only their against Morton and they go into
:53:24. > :53:27.another huge game next week at St Mirren.
:53:28. > :53:34.Full-time at Hamilton versus St Johnstone. Let's hear all about it.
:53:35. > :53:47.Your Mac it has finished 1-0. This will be remembered as the
:53:48. > :53:53.Battle of the players here. Richard Foster in the Punch -- and a punch
:53:54. > :53:57.at Swanson, who retaliated by appearing to kick him in the face.
:53:58. > :54:00.In the end, Swanson and Foster both were sent off at half-time. There
:54:01. > :54:15.were yellow cards for Crawford and bacon. -- Paton.
:54:16. > :54:18.It was a team first half. In the second half, Hamilton came out to
:54:19. > :54:25.It was a team first half. In the roaring from the home crowd. St
:54:26. > :54:29.Johnstone defended stoutly. In the end, Crawford with a great chance.
:54:30. > :54:35.The goalkeeper had a great save. Just as it looked like Hamilton
:54:36. > :54:40.would get three points -- not get three points, they fired home in 89
:54:41. > :54:45.minutes to get a hugely valuable three points. It finishes Hamilton
:54:46. > :54:54.1-0 St Johnstone. Full-time at Ibrox. The match finished in a draw.
:54:55. > :55:01.Louis Moult putting Motherwell ahead early in the first half. Joe Garner
:55:02. > :55:06.equalising for Rangers a quarter of a now into the second half. It
:55:07. > :55:09.finished 1-1 at Ibrox. I believe the game at Firhill has come to a
:55:10. > :55:14.conclusion. Partick Thistle against Ross County.
:55:15. > :55:17.It was a big day for Kris Doolan? It was a huge day for Kris Doolan and
:55:18. > :55:21.Partick Thistle as they try to consolidate their place in the top
:55:22. > :55:24.six, with just three games remaining until the split. They will remain in
:55:25. > :55:29.the top six for another week at least. They have come from behind
:55:30. > :55:34.thanks to two goals from Kris Doolan. The first of those was his
:55:35. > :55:35.100th for Partick Thistle. That brought Partick Thistle level. They
:55:36. > :55:39.100th for Partick Thistle. That started very poorly, deservedly
:55:40. > :55:44.behind to Craig Curran's goal. Ross County were good value for that.
:55:45. > :55:49.Thistle at the performance and got level as Kris Doolan tucked home his
:55:50. > :55:54.100th goal for the club. Then he grabbed his 101st to win it for
:55:55. > :56:03.Partick Thistle. There was a lovely 1-2 on the edge of the box with Adam
:56:04. > :56:05.Barton. Kris Doolan kept is cool to slot home in the box. This does
:56:06. > :56:11.nothing for the cause of Ross County slot home in the box. This does
:56:12. > :56:14.as they seek to avoid relegation. Time to hear from our reporter
:56:15. > :56:22.watching Inverness Caledonian Thistle against Kilmarnock.
:56:23. > :56:25.Full-time? Yes, it is. The point was shared thanks to the 4-star finish
:56:26. > :56:30.of Billy Mackay. An instinctive finish that struck the inside of the
:56:31. > :56:41.post. As home heads look to have dropped for a spell, there was slack
:56:42. > :56:47.and Billy King play. Kris Boyd thumped the penalty home
:56:48. > :56:55.convincingly. Callum Roberts rightly the end 41 the match but Williams
:56:56. > :57:02.produced a good stop. There were a number of decent efforts for the
:57:03. > :57:07.home side, but you imagine, will be happier -- Kilmarnock will be
:57:08. > :57:15.happier. Inverness are bottom of the table once again.
:57:16. > :57:17.Off to East End Park and the Championship match between
:57:18. > :57:25.Dunfermline and Hibs has finished. It has finished 1-1. This is the
:57:26. > :57:29.12th draw in 31 games for Hibs but there are nine points clear in the
:57:30. > :57:32.Championship table with just five games left to play. John Madin
:57:33. > :57:39.scored the goal for the visitors after 12 minutes. He picked up the
:57:40. > :57:43.ball 25-yarder out and thundered a glorious shot along the net.
:57:44. > :57:51.Dunfermline's equaliser came from the penalty spot. It was
:57:52. > :57:55.controversial because it might have come off the arm of one of the Hibs
:57:56. > :58:06.defenders. The bulk crept over the line. --
:58:07. > :58:11.ball Dunfermline had a few chances to score.
:58:12. > :58:20.Jason Cummings came close. In front of a glorious crowd in front of 8000
:58:21. > :58:24.in sun-kissed Fife, it finished 1-1. The busiest man of the afternoon,
:58:25. > :58:25.Jim Spence, plenty of goals to tell us about. St Mirren versus Ayr
:58:26. > :58:36.United. McGinn got a goal from close range
:58:37. > :58:46.and that was 3-0 after 23 minutes. Josh Magennis put them 4-0 up.
:58:47. > :58:52.Wadden filed a fiscal. -- Morgan fired a fifth goal. Ayr United got a
:58:53. > :59:01.consolation goal 15 minutes from time. And then they got a second in
:59:02. > :59:03.a mini revival. It was a temporary reprieve, with an immediate reply
:59:04. > :59:09.from St Mirren to make it a full-time score and very impressive
:59:10. > :59:12.performance. 6-2. After Falkirk Stadium, who was
:59:13. > :59:20.watching Falkirk against Raith Rovers. Lee Miller came off the
:59:21. > :59:22.bench to score his ninth goal of the season to move Falkirk two points
:59:23. > :59:29.clear of Morton in the all important second place in the championship
:59:30. > :59:37.with veteran striker being left unmarked in the box. That brought
:59:38. > :59:42.the resistance of Raith Rovers. The Rovers goalkeeper had made an
:59:43. > :59:50.impressive save to deny several shots in the first half. However,
:59:51. > :59:55.once Falkirk moved in front, there was little prospect of Ruth Rovers
:59:56. > :00:04.Return appoint as Noel Raith Rovers striker has scored an away goal
:00:05. > :00:08.since last October. The striker scored the winner for their
:00:09. > :00:13.relegation rivals against Morton Adam Barton have moved above them as
:00:14. > :00:14.a result. His parent club are in deep trouble really fit of that
:00:15. > :00:27.division. That report from Scott takes us to
:00:28. > :00:30.today's classified results roundup. We start with the Ladbrokes Scottish
:00:31. > :04:26.Premiership. Celtic can win the league tomorrow
:04:27. > :04:33.if they win away at Tynecastle. The race for second, Aberdeen 10
:04:34. > :04:41.points clear. St Johnstone, eight points behind
:04:42. > :04:54.Rangers. St Johnstone losing after a late goal from Hamilton.
:04:55. > :04:58.Caley Thistle drop back to 12. Partick Thistle they picked up a
:04:59. > :05:04.point. In the championship. Falkirk moving to second.
:05:05. > :05:12.Hibs are nine clear at the top. Morton losing to Dumbarton.
:05:13. > :05:22.Dundee United, still fourth despite that defeat to Queen of the South
:05:23. > :06:49.and at the bottom of the table, St Mirren.
:06:50. > :06:58.you a surprise defeat at home for Chelsea against Sam Allardyce's
:06:59. > :07:03.Crystal Palace. Let's get the details from Chris Wise. Smiles in
:07:04. > :07:07.the sunshine for Sam Allardyce. A huge win for him and his Crystal
:07:08. > :07:13.Palace side. Four straight victories in a row. They, surely, now are no
:07:14. > :07:18.longer considered potential relegation candidates. Allardyce is
:07:19. > :07:22.punching the air. Celebrating towards the Crystal Palace
:07:23. > :07:27.supporters. Chelsea look flummoxed. They can't believe the result has
:07:28. > :07:31.been bestowed upon them. They have not lost at home since September in
:07:32. > :07:37.any competition. That was against Liverpool. But Crystal Palace, of a
:07:38. > :07:41.all teams, like they did last season, they came here and won 2-1
:07:42. > :07:46.and have done it again at Stamford Bridge.
:07:47. > :07:51.Time for details of Tottenham's match away to Burnley.
:07:52. > :07:57.Burnley, nil, Tottenham two, a win that puts pressure on Chelsea at the
:07:58. > :08:04.top of the table. Burnley failed to clear a corner. Substitute Son
:08:05. > :08:08.topped in a second. It could have been more, Ali missed the first half
:08:09. > :08:18.sitter but the wind carried it across.
:08:19. > :08:23.No win in seven for Burnley, Spurs have won all seven without Harry
:08:24. > :08:35.Kane. Burnley, nil, Tottenham, two.
:08:36. > :08:42.Back to the Scottish Premiership and manage manager reaction.
:08:43. > :08:47.Lee is that a good point in your view, coming here? Yes, I think it
:08:48. > :08:51.is, going on past results from the last month or so. They have beaten
:08:52. > :08:59.Rangers up here. It's a tough place to come. We travelled up. Finished
:09:00. > :09:03.the game with seven teenagers, so shows the character in the dressing
:09:04. > :09:08.room. That is encouraging. And there were
:09:09. > :09:15.chances there at the end? Could have nicked it at the end. On top of the
:09:16. > :09:20.penalty that we got. But not today. So I think overall, maybe Inverness
:09:21. > :09:25.had the main possession but possibly we had the better chances in the
:09:26. > :09:28.match. So it's another week towards safety.
:09:29. > :09:32.In terms of safety, picking up a point if you can't get a win,
:09:33. > :09:37.considering the games that are coming up. It is important to keep
:09:38. > :09:43.the points ticking on? The next games are massive, Rangers at home,
:09:44. > :09:47.Celtic away. It was important not to get beat today. I think that was the
:09:48. > :09:54.case. Although we could have nicked it in the end. I think a point is a
:09:55. > :10:01.fair result in the end. A fair result and a good result for
:10:02. > :10:05.Kilmarnock? A great result. It keeps them 33 points away from the
:10:06. > :10:11.play-off spot. But looking at the whole situation there. Hamilton's
:10:12. > :10:15.win, that has put the cat among the pigeons.
:10:16. > :10:25.You saw the way that the players were celebrating. I think there will
:10:26. > :10:32.be a lot of to-ing and fro-ing at the bottom. The bottom five have
:10:33. > :10:35.only a few points between them. There is Dundee, Ross County,
:10:36. > :10:39.Motherwell. You are talking about the
:10:40. > :10:46.celebration. We were mentioning when we saw Billy McKay put the ball in
:10:47. > :10:52.for Inverness how subdued they looked. They drew level. Points are
:10:53. > :10:56.vital for them. In stark contrast to Hamilton, when they put it in, they
:10:57. > :11:02.were overthe moon. It can be revealing. The mood among
:11:03. > :11:08.the players. Caley Thistle are still in the mix. This is not a season
:11:09. > :11:12.where anybody is isolated here. No.
:11:13. > :11:19.So in the mix for a top six or to stay in the league? For regulation.
:11:20. > :11:23.But thistle who, are almost anchoring that last place.
:11:24. > :11:27.They are on a great run of form. Player of the day must be Chris
:11:28. > :11:37.Doolan. Of course. Score 100 goals for the
:11:38. > :11:42.club... 101 goals. A great achievement for him.
:11:43. > :11:48.Is that Ross County's hopes of a top six gone? For me, Partick Thistle
:11:49. > :11:53.have cemented the sixth place. They have been on a great run. The last
:11:54. > :11:58.couple of results have tailed off. But to get the victory today is a
:11:59. > :12:03.big one. A big point for Motherwell arahway
:12:04. > :12:09.to Rangers. We spoke about the dire record at Ibrox. It edges them away.
:12:10. > :12:14.It does but as we have spoken about at length for a number of weeks, the
:12:15. > :12:18.teams in the bottom six are scrapping foyer for their lives.
:12:19. > :12:23.Getting a point is good. They are all valuable. It is so tight that
:12:24. > :12:28.anywhering you can get going to ground where you don't have a great
:12:29. > :12:35.record is a big point for them. And Falkirk moving to second.
:12:36. > :12:39.They are consistent. Almost the St Johnston of the championship. Don't
:12:40. > :12:45.say that after today. That's about it for the day, folks. Time for a
:12:46. > :12:51.reminder of some of the day's goings on in the Premiership.
:12:52. > :13:01.Winners at Dundee, a big win for Aberdeen.
:13:02. > :13:05.Caley Thistle and Celtic sharing the points.
:13:06. > :13:15.A big point for Motherwell away at Rangers.
:13:16. > :13:20.Falkirk at second. Queen of the South, 4-2 winners against Dundee
:13:21. > :13:27.United. A huge win for St Mirren. 6-2 against Ayr United.
:13:28. > :13:33.You can see highlights of the weekend's Premiership on BBC Two
:13:34. > :13:42.6.00pm tomorrow. Repeated on HD on BBC One at 11.35pm. And this
:13:43. > :13:54.evening, lend an ear to Stuart and Grant. That is on at 5.30pm. Thanks
