:00:44. > :00:46.Do Dundee United still have a chance of survival?
:00:47. > :00:49.And do we have a winner in the Championship?
:00:50. > :00:52.The answers to these questions may - or may not - be answered
:00:53. > :00:57.Michael Stewart and Steven Thompson will give it their best shot.
:00:58. > :01:03.The champions began the weekend four points clear of Aberdeen.
:01:04. > :01:06.Celtic would extend that to seven IF they could muster a victory
:01:07. > :01:08.over third placed Hearts in the Saturday lunchtime game.
:01:09. > :01:49.Hearts have not won at Celtic Park since 2009. But was a League Cup
:01:50. > :02:02.tie. His Jamie Walker! What a finish from Jamie Walker. Celtic Park
:02:03. > :02:08.stunned. Jamie Walker fires Hearts into a very early lead. Celtic are
:02:09. > :02:12.being asked a big question again against the side in third place.
:02:13. > :02:22.Much to ponder for Ronny Deila again.
:02:23. > :02:35.That was a fine effort. Roberts takes the corner.
:02:36. > :02:49.It is Mackay Stephen and it is 1-1. That is a lovely goal from Gary
:02:50. > :02:55.Mackay Stephen. The second ball dropped favourably from the Celtic
:02:56. > :03:05.number 16, who led visit home. -- leathers it. Flak from Celtic again.
:03:06. > :03:07.It is Brown who has fouled Juanma. He is asking questions of the centre
:03:08. > :03:15.half as he goes into the book now. He thought he had scored. He is
:03:16. > :03:23.unlucky. It just kissed the top of He thought he had scored. He is
:03:24. > :03:44.Craig Gordon's crossbar. Patrick Roberts! That is brilliant!
:03:45. > :03:50.A fabulous first Celtic goal for Patrick Roberts. This is a very,
:03:51. > :04:10.very good finish. That was a bad clash which Bobby
:04:11. > :04:21.Madden has ruled is a free kick in Celtic's favour. It looked like a
:04:22. > :04:26.50-50. Here is Griffiths. For the second time, he forces a save from
:04:27. > :04:29.50-50. Here is Griffiths. For the Alexander. Here he is again. He is
:04:30. > :04:39.going to win another free kick. That was Walker's challenge. It swerved
:04:40. > :04:43.just before it got to Alexander who did just enough. They have got
:04:44. > :04:52.another opportunity here, Celtic. It is Griffiths again. He continues his
:04:53. > :04:58.one-on-one duel with Neil Alexander. It is the goalkeeper who comes out
:04:59. > :05:06.on top again. Hearts were well beaten last buyout 3-0. They chased
:05:07. > :05:16.down Aberdeen in second. Here is Roberts who fancies a second and
:05:17. > :05:21.gets it! They said he was a little bit special when he signed up from
:05:22. > :05:30.Manchester City, and he is demonstrating just how special a
:05:31. > :05:37.talent he could be. Not too many frowns in the Celtic bench just now.
:05:38. > :05:49.Gordon holds on. Craig Gordon was in the Hearts side last time they won
:05:50. > :05:57.here in the league in 2007. Hearts looking for a route back in.
:05:58. > :06:14.The two Hearts substitutes combining here. Celtic looking to extend their
:06:15. > :06:21.lead at the top of the table. He will pick up a second yellow card.
:06:22. > :06:29.He is. It has not been Hearts day. He's getting better and better.
:06:30. > :06:37.Every game a win now. This was a crucial and important win for us.
:06:38. > :06:40.Dominated the game. We had some pressure. We played some very good
:06:41. > :06:46.football. Good opportunities but gave up eight poor third goal.
:06:47. > :06:53.A good start for Hearts and a great win for Celtic. Michael, you were
:06:54. > :07:03.there. Patrick Roberts is clearly a top player. Yesterday, he caused
:07:04. > :07:07.hearts a lot of problems. He is always on the move picking up great
:07:08. > :07:14.areas. Right through the game, it was not as if he was involved lots,
:07:15. > :07:21.but every time he was involved, he caused Hearts problems. This was
:07:22. > :07:30.three minutes later. This killed the game off. Rossi sits off. At who
:07:31. > :07:34.does not want to commit himself as he had been booked. He had not a lot
:07:35. > :07:42.of touches that everything he did do was out of the top drawer, no doubt
:07:43. > :07:50.about that. Should Scott Brown have seen a red card? I think he is quite
:07:51. > :07:54.fortunate. By the letter of law, is it a 250 challenge, is he of the
:07:55. > :08:00.ground? Yes, he is. For me, it quite easily could have been a red card.
:08:01. > :08:05.There is no doubt he jumped in with two feet. Earlier in the game,
:08:06. > :08:09.Juanma moves out to the side of the ball. Just as well. I think a yellow
:08:10. > :08:13.Juanma moves out to the side of the card could have got away with it,
:08:14. > :08:19.but he is fortunate because they tackle like that could easily have
:08:20. > :08:32.been a red card and he got away with nothing.
:08:33. > :08:35.You were there yesterday. This is rousing for Ronny Deila's side and
:08:36. > :08:43.You were there yesterday. This is at the right time? It was a game
:08:44. > :08:46.with real intent. Hearts came and we wanted to get something out of the
:08:47. > :08:50.game but it meant Celtic had to raise the game and they did that. It
:08:51. > :08:54.was a great time in the season to put in a performance like that.
:08:55. > :09:03.Still think they will win the title? I think they will, yes. The same
:09:04. > :09:06.question to you? Yes, I think they will win the title. They had some
:09:07. > :09:08.question to you? Yes, I think they form at the right time. OK.
:09:09. > :09:10.Celtic throwing down the gauntlet to Aberdeen,
:09:11. > :09:12.who played Hamilton Academical this lunchtime at Pittodrie.
:09:13. > :09:19.Could they narrow the gap to four points once again?
:09:20. > :09:29.Just the one change for Aberdeen as they look to stay within four points
:09:30. > :09:39.of the leaders, Celtic. Just the five changes for Hamilton.
:09:40. > :09:48.Shea Logan's pass and good movement up ahead from Kenny Maclean. Looking
:09:49. > :09:55.to create something early on. That was a decent ball in. It ends up
:09:56. > :09:56.clipping the outside of the post. Maclean, who won his Scotland cap
:09:57. > :10:12.prior to the international break. He has his pocket picked by Jonny
:10:13. > :10:19.Hayes. In four Simon Church. It is church on Sunday! And it is 1-0
:10:20. > :10:26.Aberdeen inside five minutes. Aid to refix apply from Jonny Hayes. Church
:10:27. > :10:33.was unmarked in the middle -- a terrific reply from Jonny Hayes.
:10:34. > :10:43.Logan for Maclean. He really is menacing early on. Michael McGovern
:10:44. > :10:53.made the block. Kenny Maclean threatened to increase Aberdeen's
:10:54. > :10:58.advantage. McGovern's clearance, Taylor's header, Maclean coming back
:10:59. > :11:06.from an offside position. Hesitation by Vicki Gordon. Now Niall McGinn
:11:07. > :11:14.from an offside position. Hesitation cashes in. -- Ziggy Gordon. Gordon
:11:15. > :11:26.has been such a solid presence at the back for Hamilton. He hesitated
:11:27. > :11:31.and Niall McGinn made it 2-0. A cross, church with the header and
:11:32. > :11:40.McGovern with the save. Two players hoping to be heading to the European
:11:41. > :11:48.Championships in the summer. Ryan Jack. Aberdeen well on top here.
:11:49. > :11:53.Hayes puts the ball down the line. Shinnie comes back, Kenny Maclean's
:11:54. > :11:58.finish. What a goal! Even in this early stage with 33 minutes gone,
:11:59. > :12:05.you would have to say it is game over. Shinnie's cutback, Maclean's
:12:06. > :12:20.finish, 3-0. Scott Brown finger tipping that over
:12:21. > :12:29.the top. He has had precious little to do but he needed to save that. He
:12:30. > :12:38.is out wide for McGinn. Niall McGinn cuts inside. A good effort and a
:12:39. > :12:45.good save. One Northern Ireland international denied by another.
:12:46. > :12:53.Logan's header. Saved again by McGovern. It was a free header,
:12:54. > :12:58.close in for the full-back. Maclean's shot blocked. This could
:12:59. > :13:07.get worse for Hamilton. McGinn again. And it is becoming a
:13:08. > :13:14.one-to-one duel here, McGinn against McGovern.
:13:15. > :13:21.Kenny Maclean finding a pocket of space and slides that through for
:13:22. > :13:28.Hayes. In for McGinn. And it is the side netting. On another day, Niall
:13:29. > :13:41.McGinn might have had a hat-trick here. Jonny Hayes again. Claiming
:13:42. > :13:51.handball. I think the referee and cited here. -- unsighted. Another
:13:52. > :14:00.set piece chance for the home team. Reynolds' header. It goes over the
:14:01. > :14:05.top by McGovern. What a busy day the Hamilton goalkeeper has had. I
:14:06. > :14:10.thought we knocked the stuffing out in the first half. Obviously, comes
:14:11. > :14:14.and we hope to replicate the second half I thought the performance in
:14:15. > :14:23.the second half was equally good but we did not get the goals. When the
:14:24. > :14:30.ball came in, it was not defendable. Overall, like I say, I think you
:14:31. > :14:34.cannot argue with the result. Aberdeen narrowed the gap on Celtic
:14:35. > :14:43.once more. Dismal four Hamilton Academical. Hamilton -- Aberdeen
:14:44. > :14:51.were clinical from the start. Hamilton could not deal with it.
:14:52. > :14:57.This man, he has played well since he came in and he also played and
:14:58. > :15:01.scored for Wales. Clinical from Aberdeen. They were superb. I am
:15:02. > :15:07.really pleased for Kenny here. After getting his first catch in the week.
:15:08. > :15:12.This is a superb goal. Technically, that was a very good finish. We saw
:15:13. > :15:16.Kenny Maclean who played for Scotland in the international break,
:15:17. > :15:21.there was a maturity about his play today. He has been playing well all
:15:22. > :15:29.season. Coming back from international duty, he shows no sign
:15:30. > :15:33.of tiredness and it looks like he has grown in stature. The ball was
:15:34. > :15:35.in front of him, he takes it really nicely, puts it in the back of the
:15:36. > :15:39.net. It was a performance of real intent from Aberdeen right from the
:15:40. > :15:46.off. It could easily have been a difficult one for them. They showed
:15:47. > :15:49.they are not giving up the fight. They could have won by a lot more.
:15:50. > :15:58.What you think of their chances? Is it going to be very difficult. I
:15:59. > :16:02.think they need favours from other teams. I think they could still
:16:03. > :16:10.finish second, which would still be a really big achievement. What about
:16:11. > :16:12.finish second, which would still be Hamilton's relegation fears? Their
:16:13. > :16:16.performance today wasn't very good and their form is not particular
:16:17. > :16:20.great either. Dundee United really have the bit between their teeth at
:16:21. > :16:25.the moment, so there is real danger for Hamilton. Do you think they
:16:26. > :16:30.could go down? It is back-to-back defeats and they are only four
:16:31. > :16:35.points clear of Kilmarnock. It will be a very tense next six games for
:16:36. > :16:37.them, they need to find a bit of form from somewhere. It will be
:16:38. > :16:40.fascinating to watch. It had been almost four years
:16:41. > :16:43.since Dundee United last won away They desperately needed that run
:16:44. > :16:46.to end as they began the weekend seven points adrift at the bottom
:16:47. > :16:49.of the Premiership table. Watching for us at MacDiarmid Park
:16:50. > :16:56.was Paul Mitchell. COMMENTATOR: Two changes for St
:16:57. > :17:03.Johnstone. Anderson is injured and misses out and Liam Craig is also
:17:04. > :17:05.unavailable. United came from 20 down to get a point in the Derby. --
:17:06. > :17:18.from 2-0 down. A first start for Boyle. Free kick,
:17:19. > :17:27.lifted in, Donaldson off the post and away! A good free kick in. Will
:17:28. > :17:36.the ball eventually go for a corner? Alan Mannus was diving across here.
:17:37. > :17:44.It rattle the frame. St Johnstone with a good home record against
:17:45. > :17:47.Dundee United. They have won for the last seven against them and are
:17:48. > :17:55.unbeaten. Trying TrackBack! Alan Mannus standing up and Eastland
:17:56. > :18:01.takes it away. That was simple Route one football. He tried to drag it
:18:02. > :18:07.down and got it under control. Clever at the back from St Johnstone
:18:08. > :18:12.-- not clever at the back from St Johnstone and now they are robbed in
:18:13. > :18:19.possession. Alan Mannus with the save... It is in! Across the line.
:18:20. > :18:25.Dundee United have scored. 22 minutes gone and a slip from the
:18:26. > :18:33.goalkeeper is so costly. Billy Mckay does really well. He clips the ball
:18:34. > :18:35.back inside and Dow meets it on the volley and Alan Mannus gets into a
:18:36. > :18:47.real problem. Here is Davidson, two goals against
:18:48. > :18:52.Hearts last time out. They are building well, with a Davidson. The
:18:53. > :19:00.referee right there and Davidson cast a glance at him, but not a
:19:01. > :19:09.realistic penalty claim. Just two players going at the bowl strong.
:19:10. > :19:14.Credit Callum Morris. Swanson plays it in, Shaughnessy is free, it comes
:19:15. > :19:19.off McLean and it is a way. Donna Lee tries to knock it clear. He
:19:20. > :19:23.looks up as the half-time whistle goes. That would have been harsh on
:19:24. > :19:27.Dundee United, they have been the better team in this first half. But
:19:28. > :19:36.Shaughnessy got clear and it rattled off McClain. Morris, 11th start of
:19:37. > :19:43.the season for him, on a yellow card. This could be a red card!
:19:44. > :19:49.Donaldson has typed back Chris Cain, and it is red. An easy call for the
:19:50. > :19:55.referee. Donaldson was simply caught out. The ball over the top denying
:19:56. > :20:01.an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. Little ball into the middle, that
:20:02. > :20:06.will break wide to Wetherspoon. Davidson coming in! Off the
:20:07. > :20:15.crossbar. The goalkeeper was beaten. That's going to be a free kick
:20:16. > :20:19.against Chris Cain. What is being played it across. A shot here that
:20:20. > :20:31.could itself has been -- could itself have been a penalty. Dow's
:20:32. > :20:39.corner. It broke to Payton. Fisher is on too. Stunning!
:20:40. > :20:48.-- Gunning! That would have finished it. Gunning has scored twice against
:20:49. > :20:55.St Johnstone in his career. Unable to find a simple pass. Horrible
:20:56. > :21:00.finish. They are fighting for their lives and we have to make sure that
:21:01. > :21:04.we start the game better. You give a team... We have done it before this
:21:05. > :21:12.season as well and it makes it really difficult. It's positive,
:21:13. > :21:17.coming here is never easy. But it is still a long way to go. Kilmarnock
:21:18. > :21:27.are five points ahead of us. We don't get carried away. I was there
:21:28. > :21:30.are five points ahead of us. We yesterday and Mixu Paatelainen
:21:31. > :21:35.surprised us all by going for a four-man defence. They were the
:21:36. > :21:39.better teams certainly in the first half and they created a lot of
:21:40. > :21:42.opportunities. They did defend well, they were resilient and had a real
:21:43. > :21:47.team spirit and togetherness and work ethic about them. They really
:21:48. > :21:51.got men behind the ball, really pressurising the ball. They've got
:21:52. > :21:56.the bit between their teeth at the moment, I think. Going back six or
:21:57. > :22:00.seven weeks ago I would have said no way were Dundee United going to do
:22:01. > :22:03.this and I'm glad they're proving me wrong, because now I think there is
:22:04. > :22:07.an opportunity they can do it. They actually believe they can do it and
:22:08. > :22:10.that is the key thing, they believe they can get out of this. You
:22:11. > :22:17.actually believe they could escape the bottom two places? Well,
:22:18. > :22:20.possibly. When you look at the form that Kilmarnock and Hamilton are in.
:22:21. > :22:24.You look at Dundee United now and they believe they can do it. Mixu
:22:25. > :22:28.Paatelainen laughing there, playing the mind games, saying Kilmarnock
:22:29. > :22:32.are comfortable. I'm not saying they will but there is definitely a
:22:33. > :22:37.possibility and the belief is a big thing. They have got a huge week
:22:38. > :22:38.coming up, Partick Thistle away and then Inverness at Tannadice next
:22:39. > :22:41.weekend. Do you think they can then Inverness at Tannadice next
:22:42. > :22:44.actually be off the bottom of the table this time next weekend?
:22:45. > :22:48.actually be off the bottom of the could be but I'm not saying they
:22:49. > :22:51.will be! A couple of months ago there was such a big golf and I
:22:52. > :22:56.thought to myself if they can get to the split and be five or six points
:22:57. > :23:00.behind, they have a chance. It's now within their hands to be five or six
:23:01. > :23:02.points behind, but that is nothing. It's not to say they're going to be
:23:03. > :23:06.points behind, but that is nothing. out of trouble, but they've given
:23:07. > :23:11.themselves a great opportunity. St Johnstone still jostling around for
:23:12. > :23:13.that top six place, Stephen. They've been a mixed bag, St Johnstone. They
:23:14. > :23:17.were not at their best yesterday. been a mixed bag, St Johnstone. They
:23:18. > :23:20.Disappointed at the goal they lost, very cheap. But I'd then they will
:23:21. > :23:24.Disappointed at the goal they lost, still finish top six. When we've not
:23:25. > :23:27.been playing very well, that would be a great achievement.
:23:28. > :23:30.It was all about the scramble for top six next, as Dundee took
:23:31. > :23:35.County without a League win since the first of March.
:23:36. > :23:37.Dundee with only one league win since February 12th.
:23:38. > :23:52.COMMENTATOR: Four changes for Dundee. Mitchell comes in in goal
:23:53. > :23:59.replacing the suspended player. The big news for Ross County is that
:24:00. > :24:02.Liam Boyce does start, Mark routes and Jonathan Spratt -- Mark Woods
:24:03. > :24:08.and Jonathan Franks come in in midfield.
:24:09. > :24:20.Ross County with the early shot. Jonathan Franks with a second
:24:21. > :24:26.attempt, lofting it back. O'Dea a to safety. The chance for Dundee to
:24:27. > :24:31.break through. Stuart inside, support either side. Checked pass,
:24:32. > :24:36.Ricky Foster! A goal for Dundee with support either side. Checked pass,
:24:37. > :24:40.seven minutes on the clock and Greg Stewart has put Dundee at head. Past
:24:41. > :24:44.Ricky Foster and Marcus Fraser was coming across, couldn't get the
:24:45. > :24:51.block in and Stuart has done the ahead.
:24:52. > :24:58.Halt links well with Stuart and wins the second ball and Kane Hemmings is
:24:59. > :25:06.there to drill the loose ball into the net! Poor defending by Ross
:25:07. > :25:10.County. Holt wanted to win that more. Hemmings arrived and steered
:25:11. > :25:15.it past the goalkeeper for his 23rd goal of the season. High ball into
:25:16. > :25:22.the Dundee box, cleared as far as McShane. Back to Woods, and that is
:25:23. > :25:30.a fingertip save by Mitchell. Martin Woods with the effort. Mitchell did
:25:31. > :25:36.well. Jim McIntyre in Courage by that Ross County flourish. Martin
:25:37. > :25:43.Woods with the corner, Davis with the header and Ross County are back
:25:44. > :25:47.in its! Within a quarter of an hour we have three goals here at Dens
:25:48. > :25:51.Park, and the captain up from the back, an marked, bullet header past
:25:52. > :26:01.Mitchell, and Ross County are back in this. Nick Ross with the room on
:26:02. > :26:15.the right. Options ahead of him. Hemmings! That is a third goal for
:26:16. > :26:18.Dundee. It might have got a touch, Rory Loy is getting the
:26:19. > :26:24.congratulations. I think it did just take a touch off Rory Loy. The
:26:25. > :26:32.movement of Dundee's front three has been something to behold today, and
:26:33. > :26:36.here comes Loy again. Almost a fourth for Dundee. This time
:26:37. > :26:45.straight at Woods. Hemmings coming close to getting a second goal. The
:26:46. > :26:51.cross again, this time failing to find the front men. A chance for
:26:52. > :26:57.Alex Sharp. It turns inside Darren O'Dea, gets his shot away, and it's
:26:58. > :27:02.a second goal for Ross County. Mitchell got fingertips to that.
:27:03. > :27:07.Fingertips from Mitchell but he couldn't prevent the ball from
:27:08. > :27:12.looping into the net. Early chance for Dundee in the second half from
:27:13. > :27:17.the corner... Hemmings with the header, off the line from McShane.
:27:18. > :27:25.Boyce goes to ground under pressure from Conrad, and that relieves the
:27:26. > :27:29.pressure on the Ross County defence. Stuart again looking for Hemmings...
:27:30. > :27:36.He gets his head on it and it drifts the wrong side of the posts. Kane
:27:37. > :27:37.Hemmings unlucky again. Curling ball from Stuart and inches wide of the
:27:38. > :27:49.target. Nick Ross again finding Greg Stewart

:27:55. > :28:01.twice, gets his shot away, Marcus Fraser! That is a fourth for Dundee.
:28:02. > :28:06.Craig Whitehead, just on as a substitute, and he has surely sealed
:28:07. > :28:11.the points here after some great work by Stewart. Marcus Fraser could
:28:12. > :28:17.only get in the way and it was an open goal, his first of the season.
:28:18. > :28:26.Did tackle. -- a good tackle. Fed wide to
:28:27. > :28:34.Stewart, more danger for Ross County. Past McShane once, twice and
:28:35. > :28:42.a third time, Stewart! What a finish! That is simply amazing from
:28:43. > :28:48.Greg Stewart! He led McShane and Davis a merry dance on the edge of
:28:49. > :28:53.the box once, twice and any third time, and what a sumptuous finish
:28:54. > :28:57.that is. The icing on the cake. A 5-star performance from Dundee. I
:28:58. > :29:05.was really pleased today. I felt it was a really important game in terms
:29:06. > :29:11.of the top six. Have given ourselves a great platform. It could have been
:29:12. > :29:15.seven each, there were that many guilt edged chances. We have had a
:29:16. > :29:18.view, they have very few. The differences they have that there's a
:29:19. > :29:26.way. I think on balance they deserved it. Seven goals but
:29:27. > :29:30.Michael, why did it go so right for Dundee? Ultimately what happened was
:29:31. > :29:34.that Dundee were able to impose their formation on to Ross County,
:29:35. > :29:41.who were playing three at the back. They had two central midfielders and
:29:42. > :29:44.Greg Stewart just in front of them, behind the strikers. Ross County
:29:45. > :29:47.were playing four at the back and four in midfield and there was a
:29:48. > :29:54.huge gap between McShane and Woods, they were the two central
:29:55. > :29:59.midfielders. That allowed a huge gap to open up in the park and Greg
:30:00. > :30:03.Stewart capitalised on that, he caused them all sorts of problems.
:30:04. > :30:08.This led to Dundee's second goal will stop he drives forward, he gets
:30:09. > :30:13.a strike off, but it wasn't just about Stewart, it was a great team
:30:14. > :30:17.performance. If you just watch Kane Hemmings coming back into the box
:30:18. > :30:21.after being involved in the linkup, on the move, a striker that has
:30:22. > :30:26.scored 23 goals, if you give him that opportunity in the box he's
:30:27. > :30:30.going to take it. Great one touch play, fluid movement. Causing Ross
:30:31. > :30:35.County all sorts of problems, especially in the middle of the
:30:36. > :30:39.park. We have got Woods here, McShane there, and they are
:30:40. > :30:43.outnumbered, they are getting dragged all over the place. When I
:30:44. > :30:46.was growing up as a kid, the one thing you would get taught as a
:30:47. > :30:50.central midfielder, if you're getting outnumbered you need to drag
:30:51. > :30:54.your white men in. The ball was out here to begin with, they have to get
:30:55. > :30:57.the wide men in to help him out and the country in the middle, and that
:30:58. > :31:01.is the wide left Mander. He thinks he's doing the right thing, tracking
:31:02. > :31:06.the wing-back there but ultimately there is a huge space that has now
:31:07. > :31:12.developed because he has dropped so deep.
:31:13. > :31:16.He has got to get up the park and help his midfielders and become
:31:17. > :31:27.three in the middle. The reason the gap is there is
:31:28. > :31:32.because the space between the midfield and the defence is too
:31:33. > :31:40.wide. This is Dundee. They drag them all over the place. A great
:31:41. > :31:47.interchange and a fantastic finish as well. We will give them it! How
:31:48. > :31:51.did Ross County respond? Ultimately, Jim McIntyre, rather than try to let
:31:52. > :31:56.the players sought out themselves, he changed the formation. He went
:31:57. > :32:02.like-for-like. He got a third man in the middle with Park to help out.
:32:03. > :32:06.Those guys, Woods and McShane. He got the extra man in the middle of
:32:07. > :32:12.the park. Before, we have highlighted these shaded areas where
:32:13. > :32:16.Greg Stewart was picking the ball up and causing Ross County all sorts of
:32:17. > :32:23.problems. They now heard this man on top of them. Now they win the ball,
:32:24. > :32:29.they break up the other end and they get a goal out of this. There was a
:32:30. > :32:34.great second touch. The goalkeeper disappointed. That is 3-2 right
:32:35. > :32:38.before half-time and it gave them a chance. Throughout this game you
:32:39. > :32:48.were impressed by Greg Stewart and some of his skills are joy to
:32:49. > :32:51.behold. He was a real top performer yesterday. Clever play as well. He
:32:52. > :32:57.realised the middle of the park was unoccupied so he drifted in and
:32:58. > :33:02.found the space. Tremendous skill. The Ross County defenders think in
:33:03. > :33:07.the box. He had a phenomenal match yesterday. A great win for Dundee.
:33:08. > :33:08.Just two more games to go in this Premiership weekend.
:33:09. > :33:10.Kilmarnock in desperate need of points
:33:11. > :33:14.But first, could it be passports at the ready for Motherwell?
:33:15. > :33:21.They were away to Inverness Caley Thistle.
:33:22. > :33:29.A beautiful day in Inverness, especially for the visitors. Louis
:33:30. > :33:38.not with a header from Stevie Hamill's free kick. Motherwell in
:33:39. > :33:42.search of their fifth win in a row. Hard work, skill and concentration
:33:43. > :33:47.count for so much in football, as do tactics and attention to detail. So
:33:48. > :33:57.often, a memorable moment comes in the form of a complete fluke. From
:33:58. > :34:00.head in hands, to head over heels, a glorious mis-hit gave Motherwell the
:34:01. > :34:10.lead. With just one win in eight games,
:34:11. > :34:16.the Inverness form has taken a tumble of late. So too did Rostron
:34:17. > :34:28.power. Filed in the box by Keith lovely. This in the Stonewall
:34:29. > :34:37.category. It was a case of the eye of the Vipers. Ian Vipers with a
:34:38. > :34:42.knockout from the penalty spot. Cali Thistle almost took the lead through
:34:43. > :34:48.an unorthodox effort -- Caley Thistle. The defender almost not
:34:49. > :34:58.chewing his second goal of the season. True Marco then almost
:34:59. > :35:02.turned provided deep into injury time that Stephen McManus cleared
:35:03. > :35:08.the danger and Motherwell sent off on one final attack.
:35:09. > :35:18.A dramatic late winner sent the Motherwell fans into rapture and had
:35:19. > :35:19.then dreaming about European football possibly next season. We
:35:20. > :35:24.have played well enough. I felt we football possibly next season. We
:35:25. > :35:31.had enough chances to score more goals. And when you are not putting
:35:32. > :35:37.a ball over the line, you leave yourself vulnerable at the back. We
:35:38. > :35:41.went through a February where every game we were saying we have been
:35:42. > :35:46.mugged, we have been stitched up, we have been let down, and everything
:35:47. > :35:55.was going against us. In some ways we deserve this. I think we do
:35:56. > :35:59.deserve it. That had been 11 goals in the
:36:00. > :36:07.previous two meetings this season, with Partick taking this all out.
:36:08. > :36:17.Miles Anderson was denied by the post. O'Hara's error leading to the
:36:18. > :36:28.chance. Kilmarnock with just one goal in
:36:29. > :36:36.five, Kris Boyd put through but the shot far from troublesome. Sean
:36:37. > :36:39.Welsh showed off his 1-2 skills followed by an ambitious lob shot
:36:40. > :36:45.for the first half to remain goalless. Kilmarnock with 1-point
:36:46. > :36:49.from their last five games thought they had gone ahead early in the
:36:50. > :36:54.second-half. Rory McIlroy is the was quick to react but Kris Boyd was in
:36:55. > :36:58.an offside position when he turned the ball in. Partick Thistle
:36:59. > :37:03.themselves had a goal ruled out from side couple of minutes later. Ryan
:37:04. > :37:10.Edwards cleverly playing the ball through from Mattias Pogba who's
:37:11. > :37:15.good finish did not count. Partick thistle almost went ahead. Ryan
:37:16. > :37:24.Edwards started the move. Matt is Pogba, clever play and Edwards only
:37:25. > :37:27.denied by Gary Dicker 's challenge. One either way would prove to be
:37:28. > :37:33.crucial. Callum Booth was put through but his shot was well
:37:34. > :37:38.deflected by Conrad by the Tony for a corner. Killie's precarious
:37:39. > :37:44.position in 11th place could have been helped by a much-needed win.
:37:45. > :37:47.Some superb play by Josh Magennis set up Kris Boyd only for the
:37:48. > :37:54.striker descend the ball well over the top and the game destined to end
:37:55. > :37:59.goalless. I am disappointed with the quality the play. It was a bit of an
:38:00. > :38:04.ugly game so to speak. I thought the second half we could have done a
:38:05. > :38:13.little bit more. The final ball was missed. We had opportunities, didn't
:38:14. > :38:17.have a lot of luck, Miles Addison hitting the post. A couple of half
:38:18. > :38:23.chances and a couple of chances for us. Frustrating not to win but we
:38:24. > :38:29.have to move on now and look forward to seeing Johnston.
:38:30. > :38:37.Kilmarnock, where do we start? Kris Boyd not scoring. They have not won
:38:38. > :38:43.a match under Lee Clark. The stats are not good. They have only scored
:38:44. > :38:47.one goal in the last six games. That is relegation form. There is clearly
:38:48. > :38:51.a lack of confidence throughout the team. Yesterday, they got a clean
:38:52. > :38:57.sheet but scoring goals has been a real problem for them. They have no
:38:58. > :39:06.momentum whatsoever. What a transformation for Motherwell. Can
:39:07. > :39:09.you see them playing European football next season? It could
:39:10. > :39:12.happen. A short time ago they were in real danger of relegation. Now
:39:13. > :39:15.setting forth on a fantastic run. You heard Mark McGhee say in
:39:16. > :39:17.February within went against them. Now they are picking up points and
:39:18. > :39:22.on a fantastic run of form. Time for a look at the
:39:23. > :39:24.Ladbrokes Premiership table. Celtic four points clear
:39:25. > :39:27.of Aberdeen, but with a game in hand Motherwell fourth, an incredible
:39:28. > :39:30.turnaround in fortunes The jostle for top
:39:31. > :39:36.six very much alive. Dundee United now
:39:37. > :39:38.with real momentum. Kilmarnock - and Hamilton -
:39:39. > :39:45.very much in the doldrums. Rangers had the chance to seal
:39:46. > :39:49.the title this weekend, if they could beat Raith
:39:50. > :39:52.Rovers at Starks Park - and Hibs dropped points away
:39:53. > :39:54.at St Mirren.
