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

draw. It's stunning! An absolute beauty! Oh, yes!

Oh, it's unbelievable, unbelievable! What a finish. Right here, right

now, this is history. Well, on Sportscene tonight, the

title fight, the relegation fight, and the actual fight at New Douglas

Park. Knockout blows for us as Steven Thompson and Michael Stewart.

Only one place to start tonight, Tynecastle Stadium. Celtic with a

chance to seal the title in the Edinburgh sunshine. Would heart

spoil the party? Rob Maclean was watching. The hearts midfielder has

picked up a knock which rules him out of this. Kitchen coming in and

taking by Captain's armband. Celtic are without injured top scorer Mousa

Dembele. And Leigh Griffiths has a back problem after playing for

Scotland. Patrick Roberts slots in as the champions elect to do a

reshuffle. Cutting inside! Good effort. He gets

there just in front of you and Johnson. -- but Johnson. The shot

was not quite wide enough of Gordon. He found the corner of the net.

Winning the battle against Brown. It's Gonzalez! Another important

stop from Craig Gordon, and another big chance for the striker. It found

its way through. The Celtic goalkeeper made the save. Down at

the other end, Sinclair... Callum McGregor, what is! A glaring

opportunity. McGregor should surely have been ... But he slices it wide

-- what a miss. The corner floated to the back post. A downward header.

It's another save for Craig Gordon. He has been busy. The downward

header. And Walker tried to divert it into goal.

Driving forward, Kieran Tierney. Looking to work a 1-2. Roberts! What

a finish from Scott Sinclair. He said, let's get the title party

started! Three games against hearts this season. That is his fourth goal

against the Tynecastle team. What a finish! It is 19 for the season for

Sinckler. And Hamilton wasn't stopping this. Celtic have the big

breakthrough. That's Lustig. And Patrick Roberts! Sinclair is in

again! And scores again! Make that 24 the season for Scotland are. --

20 four this season for Scott Sinckler. Again, Hearts are sliced

open. Add the finishing from Sinclair is a clinical. You just

know that he's not going to miss. It's 2-0. Three minutes left of the

first half at Tynecastle. The Scott Sinclair story continues. Cowie

looking for a penalty. No joy. Hearts were screaming to get the

benefits of the decision here. Jack Hamilton's clearance goes

straight to Callum McGregor. This could be trouble. It's Forest! It is

going to go in. It's an own goal. And it is 3-0. That is not going to

count. The offside flag has gone up. And a third goal. Dick is ruled out.

Much to the relief -- a third goal for Celtic is ruled out. Much to the

relief of Jack Hamilton, whose clearance led to all this. Poor pass

from Hamilton. The position back to Celtic. They don't need too much

assistance. In front here. That's Armstrong, that's number three! --

in from Tierney. Stuart Armstrong's glorious season continues as he

removes any doubt, let the party, and is! The 13th of the campaign for

the newly capped Scotland midfielder.

Novak gives it away to McGregor. It's Patrick Roberts! It's

brilliant! It just gets better and better for Celtic. Some things

special -- something special gives them their fourth goal. A finish

right out of the top draw. This curling shot from Roberts explodes

into the top corner. Lofted pass towards Tierney. Now Sinclair,

looking for the hat-trick. Scott Sinclair! Penalty given. And the

chance for number five. Sinckler with the darting run into the box,

and he's taken out by Christian Novak.

It's Sinclair! And it's a glorious trouble for Scott Sinclair. And it's

a famous five goals for Celtic as they crossed the title finishing

line. It is his 21st Celtic goal. The hat-trick hero put some icing on

the take. The closing moments as Brendan Rodgers and Celtic do it in

style. They have won Mike the Ladbrokes Premiership by a country

mile. Final score, 5-0 to Celtic. It also that Tynecastle for Celtic back

in August. That 2-1 win, that they but goal for Scott Sinclair. Brendan

Rodgers' team have not looked back in the eight months since. They have

blown away the opposition. Champions again, with still eight Premiership

games to go. And already the Celtic manager will be thinking about what

happens next. We knew it was going to be a tough game for us today. The

style and the intensity with which we played was admirable, really. To

win a pressure game like that as convincingly as we did was a

remarkable achievement by the players. A bit of a work in

progress. I think Celtic on the you know, we have shown that when we

choose to go, that we can do that and we can compete. Of course there

differences. But no way does the scoreline reflect the chance that

they have. Scott, you have been involved in many a Celtic squad. How

does this one compare? Absolutely top-notch. We have got some great

players. The gaffer has brought belief back into everybody. We would

as appointing last season but this season we have really pushed on in

the Champions League, it started from there, and then good

performances in the league. For me, I think most coaches, you are more

pleased that everyone else. But of course, you know, I'm absolutely

delighted just to see that relationship between training and

games and obviously I'm really, really happy, I'm more happy for the

players and everyone else. Huge congratulations to Celtic on their

title victory. These were the scenes in the dressing room. They are

certainly enjoying themselves. Toure in particular, as you can see! They

certainly deserve it. These were the scenes at Celtic Park, the Celtic

fans turned out in force to pay all their heroes. -- to hail their

heroes. Four more to go and we get home in a row! What has been the

secret behind the success? Brandon. Absolutely fantastic manager. Scott

Sinclair, Stuart Armstrong. There Wiggo, six in a row. Ecstatic, so,

so happy -- we go. Fantastic day for those Celtic fans

and for that Celtic team as well at Tynecastle. The team that started

about Mousa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths due to injury. A mate of

strikeforce of Patrick Roberts -- a makeshift strikeforce. Sinclair and

Roberts more than stepped up to the mark. They played together almost as

if they have been playing together as a front pairing all season. They

drifted a lot and got into good areas, but they combined for the

first goal and the second. This is a number leave and will finish from

Scott Sinclair. It must have been over 100 mph. You know, incredible

finishing. Look at this from Roberts. Such clever play. Dragging

the defenders shot. Only one thing was going to happen when he was

one-on-one with the goalkeeper. A fantastic start for Celtic. Hearts

were in it for the first ten or 15 minutes, they started well. But they

shot themselves in the foot. This is just a sublime bit of quality from

Patrick Roberts. The thing that struck me was that they didn't play

like normal, you know, number nine strikers. They are that type of

player. But causes a lot of problems, drifting in areas,

dropping short. The first couple of goals, they are running from deep in

the Hearts' fence. They didn't know how to handle them, they were real

handle today. Also talent in the dugout as well. How big a success

has Brendan Rodgers made of this job? A massive success. The players

love playing for him. He demands standards and professionalism. For

me, his man management stood out. The fact he has got players playing

who were not hitting the form last year but he turned them around, like

Stuart Armstrong, Forest, Brown has been incredible. He has brought a

spirit and a winning man Tahti. But the job is not done, you got that

message from him -- winning mentality. He knows there is still

work to do. Does he stay at Celtic for years to come? I definitely

think he is enjoying it. I wouldn't imagine he is going to be away any

time soon. He has still got goals on the horizon, that is the big thing

that he has changed at Celtic, that has been the mentality. He has

revived the players because of the mentality, he has got them engaged

now. I don't think anybody can suggest other than a massive

appointment and the huge success. It. One of the players that he has

revived the career of is Stuart Armstrong, possibly contender for

Player of the Season. I wouldn't say he has revived his career, you has

moved him on. He improved him immensely. The first couple of

seasons he was finding his feet. From that point on, you can see

clips from a couple of months into it, he has just been improving all

the time. This is a wonderful free kick, he whips it around. You think

it is going to cross the other side. He is becoming a a mainstay of the

team. He has real ability, scoring with his left. You see him there

against Firmino when he came on for Scotland. He became, you know, the

best you have heard. I think he has now found that position where he can

dictate games. He did it for Scotland, dropped a bit deeper and

kicked on from there. He has done that for Celtic in the last five or

six months and he is definitely a contender for Player of the Season.

Absolutely. Plenty of contenders within that Celtic side. Scott

Sinclair always proving his worth. Mousa Dembele, what a season he has

had. Such a contribution. If young player to come in and handle the

pressure of being a strike of the Celtic, he has been incredible, he

can score all sorts of goals. Celtic got this guy for ?500,000. Think

what he must be worth now. He is an outstanding talent. Just one of the

number of Celtic players who have had an outstanding season. This is

the goal of the season, incidentally. He is also a player

that I would suggest Brendan Rodgers has improved as well. Over the

course of the season he has continued to improve. I think he has

brought into what Brendan Rodgers is trying to do. You can see when he

scored a hat-trick against Rangers, from that point on I think he has

actually physically become a bigger player as well. If you had to choose

right now, who is the Player of the Season? None of them! Yeah, right! I

think Sinclair might get it but all three of them are candidates. In

terms of Hearts, not a great day for them. It wasn't really going to be

their day the way that Celtic were going. Sometimes a picture paints a

thousand words, doesn't it? It's not a great one. It is a look of

disdain, for me. Is not a look of respect, that's for sure. He had had

a good game, I'm surprised he got taken off, he was one of heart' is

players. Hearts or at a junction. It looks like their season cannot

finish quick enough for them. With that only just happening in January,

there is a lot of question marks hanging over Hearts. Initially it

looked like there was clear ideas but now they look to be struggling,

they don't look to have any direction about what it is they are

trying to do. It's a bit concerning. There were second in the table when

they came in. They are down to fifth. Partick Thistle or only four

points behind them in fifth, that's not good enough for Hearts. Ian

Castle talks about Hearts being a work in progress, they were second

in the table. They have a big game mid week against St Johnstone. If

they beat them they can go back into fourth. What happens at Hearts to

get things moving in the right direction? I look at the overall

picture and I keep saying, teams are representative of the management.

There is plenty of talent in the team and the management structure,

but both black leadership and direction, and I think that for me,

Ian Castle is a coach and not a manager -- both lack leadership.

Douglas Park, or so -- super Seal Stadium if you prefer that, think

Johnson looking to strengthen their hold on fourth place and widen the

gap on Hearts. John Barnes was watching. Gary Woods is injured, so

Remy Matthews takes his place in goal.

St Johnstone make two changes. Goalkeeper Alan Mannus starts in

preference to Zander Clark. And Stephen McClane misses out as he

won't be risked on an artificial surface.

Doherty linking with bin. -- with Bing. Emre Can the follow-up. A good

save by Alan Mannus. Hamilton on this run of two wins in the last 19

league games. The challenge by Murray Davidson,

who did get a little flick and managed to deflect it. This last set

piece of the half. Devlin cannot get on the end of it, neither can Cyrus.

An incident here in full think Richard Foster and Danny Swanson.

The two St Johnstone players involved in a fight. Forster is

being restrained. The kit man holds back Danny Swanson. Tommy Wright

looking to have a word with the officials. He will need to find out

exactly what happened there. So, St Johnstone down to nine men. Foster

and Swanson were red carded at the interval. Emre taking his

frustration out on the post. On the half volley, a difficult one to

take. They are battling hard with the nine men. Murray Davidson and

Cyrus crashing there is that free kick was being delivered. The

referee has given the free kick against Davidson. He runs into

Cyrus. It's like a wrestling bout. Loads of possession for second Mac.

Here is McMahon. Devlin. Good curling effort. Alan Mannus kept his

eye on that one to deny the Accies captain. Maybe didn't have enough

power, but he certainly had the curl. Here is the substitute,

Redmond. He really should have hit the target there. The St Johnstone

players are just throwing their bodies in front of everything at the

moment. Cleared away. Danny Mac in and is

claiming for something inside the box. McMahon. An exchange of passes

with Emre. Crawford! Brilliant save from Alan Mannus. Turning that one

away. Outstanding goalkeeping. Crawford again, in towards Redmond.

We are inside the final minute. It's Alex D'Acol! They got the

breakthrough after all. Hamilton acquis is against the nine men of St

Johnstone -- Hamilton Accies. That with his eighth goal of the season,

and it may well prove so vital in Accies's efforts to maintain their

Premiership status. One touch to control and want to bury it. We

managed to get a win, a huge three points for us. Obviously the

half-time scenes, I haven't seen anything back yet, but you don't

want to see that. Obviously it's a passionate game and things can spill

over and obviously it has done today. But for us it is about a huge

three points. We should be celebrating getting to top six and

increasing our lead over Hearts but we are not. We're talking about an

incident that I haven't seen yet with my own eyes, but I will do. The

players don't know that -- the players do know that on no uncertain

terms the hardest punishment I will do legally with them, I will do it.

The battle of New Douglas Park come quite astonishing scenes. I was

there yesterday. Unfortunately the TV cameras and photographers missed

the key incident, a verbal exchange between Richard Foster and Danny

Swanson, which ended up, Stephen, being an exchange of blows, ugly

scenes to end up with. There is no doubt the players have let

themselves on the club down. And more importantly their team-mates

down, because they went on to lose the game. It also ordered from what

seemed like a bit of a shouting match on the pitch. Danny Swans and

doesn't hold the ball up, he is cold, Richard Foster shouts at him.

There is a bit of a niggle between the two of them. That's this is

right on the stroke of half-time. This is where the incident is taking

place at this moment in time. The cameras followed the ball. The

referee doesn't see the incident because he is looking at picking the

ball up. He is running to try and separate the players. They have now

been separated, and you can see obviously Richard Foster is

completely and utterly furious. The thing about all of this, you can see

people coming and getting involved, you don't need to get involved. The

big thing about all of this is that in a modern day society when

everything is photographed and video, there isn't anything of this

incident. It could perhaps be the best thing that has ever happened to

dummies once an average of Foster, because you heard Tommy Wright

saying that -- to damage Swanson. He said that the harshest legal

punishment he can hand out, he will do it. If he is in that position...

They can expect a very hefty fines. The big problem here is, he is going

to have an internal investigation, which is what they spoke about after

the game. The problem is that if there is no video footage it is

going to have to come down to the words of team-mates, the guys who

saw the incident, that is a difficult position for team-mates to

potentially put their fellow comrades in a position where it is,

you know, it is their career. It is going to be a fraught week at St

Johnstone. We understand the investigation will stop in earnest

tomorrow. How worried should these players before the next seven days?

They should be worried about how much they have let the club down. I

think just find them the maximum amount and try to move on from the

situation. It depends what the referee's report for the SFA. If you

can't look at footage of it... The fact there is not any footage is

going to be a huge saviour for them. Imagine how much the footage would

be getting shown now if it was there. Hysteria would build up.

Tommy Wright will hand out a very severe punishment. The fact there is

not any footage is what will save them. It is a huge, huge three point

one Hamilton Accies. A massive loss was in Johnson. At this stage of the

season, with Hamilton right at the bottom, you can see Alex D'Acol

unmarked in the six yard box. Terrible defending, they had

defended well for that 45 minutes, to lose it right at the end there?

Huge Hamilton. Massive full St Johnstone. They should have been

looking to stretch that lead on Hearts in fourth. And unfortunately

they could have been even getting close to Rangers. Now everything

else is a bigger story. We're off to Ibrox next. They face a Motherwell

side deep in the relegation mud. Captain Lee Wallace had suffered

illness in the lead up to the game. James Cavani was suspended. But they

do welcome back Rob Kinnon following a ban. Stephen Robinson is making

his just second selection since taking the manager job in a

full-time basis. Eliot Freedman making good progress

down the left-hand side. He is faced by Hodson, who does his job and

blocks for Motherwell. Motherwell have a corner and Rangers find

themselves in 11 points behind Aberdeen in the race for second

place. Chris cabin to take the inswinging corner for Motherwell.

Oh, there's Louis Moulds! And that has gone in! Motherwell have the

lead inside three minutes! Millimoles has scored once again.

Where on earth was the marking -- the win Moulds. For the first time

this season it is Motherwell who opened the scoring at Ibrox.

It's a lovely pass to get wired Corning, who goes down. Stephen

McClane is a cross with the yellow card for the Rangers striker -- to

get work won in. It is a yellow card for simulation. Raul picked out a

beautiful pass work on, -- Corel. He certainly anticipated the contact.

Miller gives it away to Scott McGarvey. He cuts in field in search

of space. McDonald gets a second bite at it. He swung his white --

right foot at the ball but couldn't keep the effort down.

Hyndman to Barry McCarthy, up against Canon. Picks out why corner

with the pass. It is just a foot or so wide from Martin Whitehorn. Real

composure from Barry McCarthy. Missing the target. Pedro Caixinha

has made a triple change at half-time. Three of the back four

have come off. They have been replaced by holiday, Garner and

O'Halloran. It's Garner! And it's off the line. Almost an immediate

impact by Joe Garner. The defence doing their job eventually.

Barry McCarthy! It's Garner! Samson makes the save. Garner could have

had a double. Why corner spins away from his man. -- it's a looping

cross! Garner attacks it! Rangers have their equaliser! And the

substitutions have paid dividends for Pedro Caixinha. What a fantastic

cross from Kenny Miller, and Joe Garner, his eighth goal for Rangers.

His first in the lead at Ibrox since the end of October. Driving up the

defence. Fine play. Baumann, and it comes to Louis Moult, and the ball

is in the back of the net! But the flag is up on the far side, it will

not count. Stephen Pearson deemed to be in an offside position. Was he

interfering with play? And the answer is, yes. The final touch came

off the Motherwell midfielder. Louis Moult, now for the second

time... It is Baumann's had! Fine stop from Wes Fotheringham, he keeps

Rangers all level with Motherwell. It's Louis Moult again, and a second

chance! And Fotheringham with a double save. A brilliant piece of

goalkeeping from the Rangers number one. First to keep out Louis Moult

and then Scott McGarvey. Great reactions. -- Scott McDonald.

Goner dropping deep, Mackay, back it comes to Garner. Samsung this time

makes the stop. -- Samson. Chances galore. Garner went in search of his

second goal. Waghorn, it is flipped on for Hyndman! And somehow this

game remains at 1-1. Rangers denied a winner. That would have been harsh

on Motherwell. And Rangers hopes of taking second place taken a bit of a

dent with that home draw against Motherwell. Good result for the away

side, and they started well, you have to say, Stephen. They have a

real chance of taking more than just a point in this game. Rangers face a

very difficult proposition. The first game against Hamilton he came

and parked the bus. Motherwell took the game to Rangers. They were ahead

within three minutes. From the point of view of Rangers, another goal

lost. Mackay blocking of Mike Wallace. Great corner from Louis

Moult, and deservedly the lead for Motherwell. It is not great for

Rangers. To me, you would look at it more as a well worked Motherwell

goal. They were in the ascendancy at this point. Louis Moult doing very

well again. Not so sure about the defending from a Rangers

perspective. Lucky to get away with this one. This is the correct

decision, no doubt. A very poor clearance from Andy Halliday. That

should have actually done better. I think it was potentially done wider.

It clearly hits Stephen Pearson's ankle on the way out and deflected

into the goal. The referee and linesman did do well. That throws up

the question of what was the defensive setup of Rangers at that

point? It was a very bold substitution. It

caught my eye to take off three defensive players and two defensive

strikers and a midfielder, they change their formation. Garner had

some chances and eventually got his goal. Kenny Miller putting the ball

into the box, he's turning away from it so it's difficult. It was an

unbelievable pass and a great finish. I think it gets passed to

Sammy so quickly he can do what anything with it. The second half

was very open. Both teams creating chances. Motherwell with this double

save. I think Motherwell were worthy of the point. Just looking at the

defensive setup of Rangers, it was enforced but stark contrast to Mark

Warburton. Very risk-taking, structure was in place, never

changed. Mark Warburton would never have contemplated doing that. So,

he's willing to change? Looks like it! What about Motherwell? They can

produce these impressive performances. They deserved a point.

Bigger fish to fry for them. That home game against Hamilton Accies

becomes the Lanarkshire derby of all time. Matches against Celtic and

Rangers, Motherwell can produce performances. I keep thinking about

the guys at the top end of the park, they have enough to get them out of

it but then they get dragged back in. That game at Hamilton is a big

game. Partick Thistle had been

proving their top six Striker Kris Doolan on the verge

of a hundred goals for the club Partick Thistle's run of five games

unbeaten has taken them into the top six. Alan Archibald names the same

team that drew with Kilmarnock the last time out. Only one win in

eight, Ross County. Partick Thistle never before

finished in the top six since the split was introduced. He might have

been targeted, the Dutch striker certainly thinks so, just on the

edge of the box. There is a touch from Lindsay. Here comes Fraser,

marauding forward, still going, the centre-back. Now Schalk. Boyce.

Clips into the back post, Fraser still up there, so close to the

opening from Ross County! The referee brings the first half to a

close and Ross County almost making the breakthrough right at the cusp

of half-time, Fraser denied by the woodwork. This is a fine chance for

Thistle, Doolan alongside but he couldn't find him. That sums up

Erskine's afternoon. Usually such a threat, but he has been off the

boil. Good defending by van der Weg. Erskine. That was a 1-2 with Doolan.

Good effort from Erskine. It is a frustrating afternoon so far for

Erskine. So maybe finding a way to go there.

Woods takes over, he is away from Lindsay. Woods breaks back for

Curran! It is a fine finish for Ross County, they are in front and it

would be hard to argue they don't deserve it. Good run from Woods.

Barton was back there, he couldn't get hold of the ball, Curran left

the goal keeper no chance. Partick Thistle hadn't really got started in

this game. Free kick goes Thistle's wave. Woods not delighted with that

decision. Not a massive amount of contact there but Edwards with the

free kick. Doolan... There's the equaliser!

There's gold number 100 four Kris Doolan in a Partick Thistle shot.

Thistle are level. And a milestone for the Thistle front man.

Dumbuya. Now it's Lawless. Doolan gets it back from Barton, and Doolan

finishes again! Not content with 100, it is 101 for Doolan and, more

importantly, Thistle in front. Very well taken, really well construct

it, and Thistle on course for the three points.

At half-time, we had to take responsibility. I think we did that.

He's our talisman, Kris Doolan, probably doesn't get the credit he

should get to. His record is outstanding. In terms of the way the

players worked, the game plan was good, the effort... You can't ask

for more, but I can ask to defend better. There were periods of

pressure, and I can ask for getting into the final third. I've scored

some memorable ones. A lot of typical goals around the box but

some very memorable but those today in such a big game with what was at

stake, it's something I'll remember forever.

Congratulations to Kris Doolan rejoins the 100 club, then joined to

the 101 club, so he has had a big weekend. How big an achievement has

this been four Kris Doolan? Huge. For a guy that started at the

juniors and worked his way up with the league with Partick Thistle and

he has had four seasons in the top flight, he has gone from strength to

strength. This was his first goal in the top flight for Partick Thistle,

his 55th goal. His goals yesterday were outstanding. His touch and

finish for his 100th... How long do you think he has been wearing this

T-shirt? Since his 99th goal! Look at this, a little 1-2. The defender

doesn't get tight enough. It is a fantastic girl and finish. He is a

good finisher. He has continued to improve. Starting in juniors and

progressing through, he has scored 46 goals in top flight. That's

double figures every season. That is phenomenal for a striker. Think of

the strikers that have come in in that period of time to challenge him

and he has batted them all away. Partick Thistle are not one of the

big clubs but in terms of Partick Thistle, this season, they are

breathing down Hearts' neck. They are sixth in the table, they are

overachieving. Ross County perhaps underachieving. They shouldn't be

where they are, Ross County. Partick Thistle fans would argue they are

not overachieving. They are a stable Premiership club now and to get the

top six is a good achievement for them, especially looking at the

factory four points behind Hearts. Both Rangers and Celtic in their

last games. Ross County, they are level on points with Motherwell. And

struggling. You can't fool the preparation but if you can't stop

the goals going in, the problems keep mounting for Ross County. It'll

be an interesting end to the season. Kilmarnock jousting

with Partick Thistle Lee McCulloch's side headed north

to face an Inverness Caley Thistle side bumping along the bottom

of the table. Three changes from the side that

drew with Ross County. One enforced change for Kilmarnock.

McKay claims he was being held, he appeals to the referee. There is

another skirmish in the box. Longstaff says, thank you, I'll take

that. McKay takes him down, the referee points to the spot. Some

penalties you question and others are spot on. That's the latter. It

is a simple no doubt. What a great chance for Killie. He missed his

last one for Motherwell, Boyd does not miss here and for the third time

of the meeting between these two sides, Kilmarnock have the lead over

Inverness. Good first touch, second touch is

the equaliser! Billy McKay celebrates as 150th appearance for

Inverness Ali Thistle with a goal. It came back off Taylor, he got it

under control. The shot was way beyond the goalkeeper and it is one

apiece. Jones twisting away from Warren.

That was a glorious chance. He's coursing problems down the

flank. It's a great ball down to Boyd. And that was a poor effort.

Tansey always looks to strike from distance. And more work for Woodman.

He will give his all for Inverness and a Thistle, even though he has

signed the contract with Aberdeen. Eight points separated the sides at

the start of the game. Boyd comes through, Warren makes the tackle.

They needed to be careful here. Definitely needed to hit the ball.

McNaughton, out for 29 games with an Achilles problem. They are finding

some space, Inverness, but the goalkeeper terms it behind.

Difficult shots for the goalkeeper. He turned it behind rather than to

hold it. Sammon fancies it into the middle!

Great effort from Jones. Kilmarnock are pushing. Good opportunity for

Longstaff. Jones took it very well. Beautiful piece of play. Good save

again. Both goalkeepers being very well worked this afternoon.

Kilmarnock are creating the better chances. He is Roberts. Get the shot

away, and he's made an impact since he's come on, Roberts. Very lively.

Kiltie and Roberts combine once more. It opens up for him! That was

dipping and going in, the goalkeeper does good work. Disappointing result

for us. Delighted with the character of the lads, they could have folded

after the goal because of the silly penalty. The character is still

there. If the lads were hiding from the ball, I'd be worried but I'm not

worried at all. It's a tough place to come, we travelled up this

morning. And we finished the game with seven teenagers so it just

shows the character of the players. Plenty of chances and some

outstanding saves in that match. In the end, was that a better point for

Kilmarnock? For me, it is a better point for Kilmarnock. All three

games between the sides this season have finished 1- once they shouldn't

be surprised but too many draws for Inverness they've drawn the last

three games and they've got to start turning them into winners. I

mentioned that they've drawn too many games, gone back to the bottom

of the league. Killie will be disappointed because they would have

had outside hopes of catching Partick Thistle in sixth. It would

have put them in better position, three points. Jones, he came in at

the start of the season, we weren't sure about him but he has progressed

well. I've got to be honest, the wave that As many as are of the

opinion, say "aye". To the contrary, "no". Has his team set up, they are

more structured. There's no doubt, there is a penalty. I think the way

the team is set up, there's a lot more structure and it allows

somebody like Jones to go and express himself. When the teams are

at sixes and sevens at times... They don't get the space to express

themselves. Look at this one too. You're desperate to do that. The

skin is the nominal, he can get past offenders, he has pace, so much so

that a player came off for him at half-time. McNaughton, there was a

testimonial for him last weekend, good that he was able to play today.

Both teams have so much to do. They do. There is five points separating

the bottom five teams and it will go all the way. Inverness are one of

five that will go all the way. Finally to the Friday

night match at Dens Park. Dundee up against second

placed Aberdeen. Some changes made today.

El-Bakhtaoui comes into the side for Dundee.

The Dons are two wins out of two against the Dees. Considine was very

close to giving Aberdeen an early advantage. The Rangers manager an

interested spectator, he faces Aberdeen on Sunday week. Considine!

This time, he scores. He had a chance earlier but he has buried

that one. And Aberdeen have a deserved lead.

Rooney! You can't argue with that for a cross. And Adam Rooney devours

that kind of service. 2-0, Aberdeen. The flick of the head of the number

nine in red. A chance the McLean, 3-0! Really

fine finish by Kenny McLean and it could be game, set and match

already. Aberdeen are turning it on. McLean gets there. He still had work

to do. But it is a lovely finish from Aberdeen's man of the moment,

Kenny McLean. He seems to sale across the pitch,

McGinn, gliding from one side to the other.

This is Considine, again! This is absolutely stunning. You can hear

what the home fans make of this. You can also hear what the Aberdeen 's

up the other end of the Shankly stand make of it. An incredible 4-0

scoreline before the break. Aberdeen 4-0 up against Motherwell at

Pittodrie at half-time not so long ago. Dundee have nothing to lose

now. The game's gone. El-Bakhtaoui, who scored a screamer last time out

against Celtic. You just wonder if Aberdeen fancy

more goals. This is Jack! The answer is that Aberdeen fancy more goals!

Ryan Jack, whose only other goal this season came against Dundee,

makes it 5- 02 Aberdeen. It is a turkey shoot in the city of

discovery. Terrible defending! That as number

six by McGinn! There will be a generation, if not two generations

of Aberdeen fans that will not have seen them rack them up away from

home. Gomis gets afoot to this. Very worrying for Paul Hartley because

this game isn't done yet. Christie's ball. Considine! Hat-trick! Number

seven for the Dons. They are in seventh heaven now! A quite

astonishing night. What I would say is they played the way they train

and I ask for that a lot of the time, they trusted each other with

the ball, they always had options. There was real concentration as well

to get the clean sheet. All in all, you don't get too many nights like

that in your managerial career, so thank you for enjoying my team play.

We don't expect them to score a hat-trick, so well done to him. No

interview from Paul Hartley. He was not happy with his team's

performance, losing 7-0. Quite a fantastic performance from Aberdeen.

Considine, did you think you'd ever lived to see him score a hat-trick

on the eve of his 30th birthday as well? What a weekend he's had.

Phenomenal. He was brilliant in the match. He is a real threat from

cross balls on set plays. Here is an early warning shot, a free header in

the middle of the six, very poor defensively, he doesn't score

although he should have. His first goal, he loses his marker, he jumps

well and look at the quality of the delivery. This one is the second.

Look at O'Hara, Healy has gotten, then he's gone to sleep. Brilliant

movement for a centre-half. But look at delivery and accuracy of

delivery. That is a phenomenal ball in, and Considine getting on the

wrong side of the Dundee defence. I acceptable to lose seven goals at

home, but from an Aberdeen perspective, brilliant. There are

midweek games but next weekend Aberdeen play Rangers on Sunday,

they are already ten points clear of them had a huge opportunity for them

to cement second place. Massive. Aberdeen were going at that full of

confidence they can get the result and there's no reason why not

because they've been on an unbelievable run. Consistency has

been top drawer from Aberdeen. There's no doubt they are firm

favourites for second spot and firm favourites to extend the lead next

week as well. A slight blot on the Aberdeen landscape, McGinn looking

likely to leave Pittodrie come the summer possibly to the English

Championship. He has been a top servant for Aberdeen, scored a lot

of goals, set up a lot of chances as well and good to see the Aberdeen

fans cheering him as he scores. You see a lot of players when they are

looking like they're going to leave, the fans get upset but they

recognise the job he's done for Aberdeen. It is not definite he will

go away but it looks like the chances are he will. It's good to

see the support, recognising what a good player he has been. Good news

is that they've been chasing Tansey for a while and the contract is

nearly signed. He is a player that Derek McInnes admires, he's got good

quality and he's got physicality. If McGinn goes, Derek McInnes's

recruitments have been good. He will be difficult to replace but I'm

pretty sure they will manage to replace him. 7-0 at home, where does

this leave Paul Hartley? Difficult position because they are right in

the mire. We've been talking about the bottom six being in the dogfight

and Dundee are there, and getting battered 7-0 at home will be a blow

for confidence. It isn't a great place at the moment. They looked

reasonable defensively against Celtic, ironically.

All that leaves the Ladbrokes Premiership table looking like this.

Aberdeen second on 61, ten points clear of Rangers.

Inverness Caley Thistle bottom of the table on 25 points.

Congratulations to Brendan Rodgers and his Celtic side.

From all of us, until next time, goodnight.
