:00:16. > :00:22.Good afternoon and welcome to the results show. Every bit as exciting
:00:23. > :00:31.as the six Nations. Plenty of reports, results. Craig Paterson and
:00:32. > :00:35.Gemma Fay will be adding lots of value to our reporters around the
:00:36. > :00:38.ground and giving us bang up to date. I will tell you the latest
:00:39. > :00:45.scores and indeed one full-time result. In the Scottish Premiership,
:00:46. > :00:51.hearts were 3-0 winners away to Motherwell in the lunchtime
:00:52. > :01:05.kick-off. Aberdeen are 1-0 ahead against Partick Thistle. Dundee are
:01:06. > :01:15.2-1 ahead at Inverness. In the championship, it is Dumbarton 1-2
:01:16. > :01:22.behind against St Mirren. Falkirk are one goal against Dunfermline
:01:23. > :01:29.athletic. Hibernian are a goal down against a united. Time for the full
:01:30. > :01:37.story of today's lunchtime kick-off and as I told you, a resounding 3-0
:01:38. > :01:46.win for Hearts. What a good week for Hearts. Their
:01:47. > :01:55.victory over Rangers was backed to her. It was a poor first 45 minutes,
:01:56. > :02:00.although the visitors got the best of it. A red card made it that much
:02:01. > :02:07.more difficult for the steel men. McHugh was sent off. Mark McGhee
:02:08. > :02:15.later described the decision as an embarrassment. From there, Hearts
:02:16. > :02:21.took control. Tziolis scored his first goal for the club. Tavares
:02:22. > :02:27.Cruz da Silva broke his duck as well. How quickly things can turn
:02:28. > :02:30.around. And we have very quickly turned
:02:31. > :02:36.around some manager interviews after the match.
:02:37. > :02:49.Mark, what was your view of the sending-off? I was disappointed. We
:02:50. > :02:53.put on good pressure at times and good areas for goals. It was a
:02:54. > :03:11.magnificent effort. way the game has gone, we had some
:03:12. > :03:16.control in the first half. There was a couple of changes at half-time. We
:03:17. > :03:27.started to be a little bit more threatening. There's only one place
:03:28. > :03:34.to start, the Redcar decision. It cost them the game, according to
:03:35. > :03:39.Mark McGhee. Do you agree with him? It may well have cost them the game.
:03:40. > :03:43.Recently Motherwell down to ten men against Hamilton. And then down to
:03:44. > :03:46.ten men against Rangers when they were in a good position. And the
:03:47. > :03:56.same today and getting no points at home. Was it a red card? I think it
:03:57. > :04:02.was. There was a few last week. It's not about whether or not he intended
:04:03. > :04:11.to do it, the fact is it happened. If you make contact with the player.
:04:12. > :04:19.And from a Hearts point of view, another 3-goal victory margin today.
:04:20. > :04:27.The manager said in meat that the fans would get a glimpse of what is
:04:28. > :04:32.in store. It was a huge boost, the win against Rangers. It was really
:04:33. > :04:44.scrappy today but Hearts are back defending well and not conceding
:04:45. > :04:49.goals. Two players have come on for their debuts and they have both got
:04:50. > :04:53.goals. Speaking of Rangers, before we hear from our reporters around
:04:54. > :04:58.the country, I can tell you how they are faring at home against Ross
:04:59. > :05:07.County and Rangers are now a goal behind. Schalk scoring Ross County's
:05:08. > :05:15.first-ever goal at Ibrox. But Wallace has equalised for Rangers so
:05:16. > :05:19.it is 1-1. Our first report on duty this afternoon is at Pittodrie. He's
:05:20. > :05:27.watching Aberdeen against Partick Thistle.
:05:28. > :05:34.After 72 minutes, stock to do with it -- after 52 minutes, -- after 72
:05:35. > :05:40.minutes, Stockley with his first goal of the season. Partick Thistle
:05:41. > :05:46.have given as good as they have got but they have been let down in terms
:05:47. > :05:52.of finishing. The inevitable has happened at the other end. With just
:05:53. > :05:59.three at the back, having taken off two defenders, Stockley came on and
:06:00. > :06:08.was the man who made the breakthrough. Stockley unmarked to
:06:09. > :06:11.head into the net. Partick Thistle, having defended so diligently and
:06:12. > :06:14.creating the more clear-cut opportunities are left again ruing
:06:15. > :06:18.the fact they can't put the ball in the back of the net. With just two
:06:19. > :06:24.minutes left to play, Aberdeen have the lead.
:06:25. > :06:30.And now we head to Inverness against Dundee.
:06:31. > :06:39.It is a goal for Inverness. Greg Tansey has just slotted home. He put
:06:40. > :06:48.it in the corner. It has been some game here. Inverness started very
:06:49. > :06:58.well. They hit the post. Dundee, a great delivery right onto Haber's
:06:59. > :07:04.head. It went 2-1, O'Dea with the header. Questionable defending
:07:05. > :07:13.there. Inverness have pegged them back again. Mckay scored from the
:07:14. > :07:20.spot. That brought Inverness back into the game. They are going
:07:21. > :07:24.forward again. And that is another chance for Inverness! They are
:07:25. > :07:29.desperate for the win. But right now it is 2-2.
:07:30. > :07:39.Good to see him kept on his toes there. Hamilton against Oman.
:07:40. > :07:45.You can't separate the teams. 1-1 at the moment with ten minutes to go.
:07:46. > :07:52.Two very similar goals. Brophy on 43 minutes. Longstaff opened the
:07:53. > :08:02.scoring for command after seven minutes. Less than ten minutes to
:08:03. > :08:08.go. Anybody's game. Let's find out how league leaders
:08:09. > :08:15.are doing at home in the Championship.
:08:16. > :08:24.It is relief all round at Easter Road. Cummings managed to get his
:08:25. > :08:29.head onto a cross for an equaliser. But in truth it has been a goal that
:08:30. > :08:37.has been a long time coming. A united took the lead through
:08:38. > :08:43.Crawford after four minutes. The shot bundled beneath the hands of
:08:44. > :08:50.Laidlaw in the Hibs goal. Since then it has been all Hibs, they have had
:08:51. > :08:54.a lot of the ball. Keating has managed to capital his own player on
:08:55. > :09:03.the edge of the penalty area, it has been that kind of day for Hibs. But
:09:04. > :09:11.they are back in it now. The goals have been flying in. Let's
:09:12. > :09:16.start at Inverness. They were two goals down against Dundee. But they
:09:17. > :09:20.have turned it around. I saw them in midweek lose against the
:09:21. > :09:25.Academicals. The manager slaughtered them after the game and was looking
:09:26. > :09:31.for something today. They go two goals down and I thought, they are
:09:32. > :09:36.going to fold. But they get two goals back. They came out fighting
:09:37. > :09:42.and they have missed a penalty. Billy Mackay right in the thick of
:09:43. > :09:51.things. He scores the first penalty, takes the second one the same way
:09:52. > :09:56.and the goalkeeper saves it. If I am the goalkeeper, I am loving it. You
:09:57. > :10:02.saw McGovern their screaming at the defender. It is a stupid penalty to
:10:03. > :10:11.give away. The goalkeeper is coming out to clear the corner. But
:10:12. > :10:17.Inverness, the last three games he was looking to take a point. He has
:10:18. > :10:23.been talking about it is not a relegation battle yet but I think if
:10:24. > :10:32.they don't take all three points from this they start to lose touch.
:10:33. > :10:38.Derek McInnes at Aberdeen will be claiming a moment of tactical
:10:39. > :10:47.genius. People say he doesn't make positive substitutions. But Aberdeen
:10:48. > :10:51.have been going well but that result against Celtic. They have been
:10:52. > :10:57.struggling for goals so he brings on Ryan Christie and Stockley and his
:10:58. > :11:01.sub scores. Not such a great week for Mark Warburton. It was looking
:11:02. > :11:18.even worse until Wallace got on the scoresheet. I think he was claiming
:11:19. > :11:23.the last time he lost to Hearts... Rangers have had costly draws and
:11:24. > :11:30.Ross County was one of those costly draws. They have scored 31 goals
:11:31. > :11:39.this season and that is the lowest out of the top four. When they have
:11:40. > :11:47.a difficult time against Hearts, they were just slap, every single
:11:48. > :11:51.one was preventable. He is looking for a response now and unless they
:11:52. > :11:56.win, I am not sure that is the response they need. And the fact
:11:57. > :12:05.Aberdeen are head puts more pressure on. Philippe Senderos gaming today,
:12:06. > :12:16.Jason Hogg, Gardner came back, so he has mixed the pack, he had to come
:12:17. > :12:19.out fighting. Ross County... They have made it difficult for Rangers.
:12:20. > :12:23.But the problem is, as the game with have made it difficult for Rangers.
:12:24. > :12:29.on and they are coming down to the last ten minutes, they can't afford
:12:30. > :12:38.to go and sit in front of goal. Two of your former clubs in action. I've
:12:39. > :12:43.looked at this fixture and the last seven league matches between them,
:12:44. > :12:50.six away wins and one draw. The home team never win this fixture. If
:12:51. > :12:54.Kilmartin went ahead, I think it is going to be more of the same, but
:12:55. > :13:01.the Academicals have come back into it and it is anybody's game. It was
:13:02. > :13:06.tight at Easter Road as well. Maybe that was the surprise of the day,
:13:07. > :13:22.United, but Hibs have come back into it and it seems that things are wee
:13:23. > :13:30.bit chaotic. It takes me back. That is a surprise. The fact they are
:13:31. > :13:34.struggling to beat the United team. Everything was going for Hibs. They
:13:35. > :13:39.have won the last four. They have got a cup tie against Hearts coming
:13:40. > :13:43.up next week. But you want to keep the pot boiling. You played poorly
:13:44. > :13:50.today, you can play yourself out of the side. I would expect Hibs
:13:51. > :13:54.against United, who are 12 without a win, I thought they would be quite
:13:55. > :13:57.comfortable this afternoon. But there is a good crowd at Easter Road
:13:58. > :14:03.and they will be getting behind them now. Let's hear from our reporters
:14:04. > :14:12.around the country again. What is happening at Ibrox. No change in the
:14:13. > :14:15.scoreline still. Still 1-1. Wallace is calling for Rangers, equalising
:14:16. > :14:25.after Schalk but the visitors ahead. Let's go to Pittodrie and Scott
:14:26. > :14:29.Davies, who is watching Aberdeen against Partick Thistle. Still be
:14:30. > :14:32.Stockley goal separating the sides, coming in the 72nd minute, the
:14:33. > :14:36.substitute coming off the bench as Aberdeen went for broke, given the
:14:37. > :14:41.situation at Ibrox. If it stayed the same there and here, Aberdeen will
:14:42. > :14:45.move a while -- move about Mark Warburton's side into second place
:14:46. > :14:48.on goal difference. Partick, it has been so frustrating for them again
:14:49. > :14:52.because they passed up three excellent chances, the most recent
:14:53. > :14:58.one coming in the 78th minute from substitute Adebayo Azeez, who was
:14:59. > :15:02.the route but he put the ball past Joe Lewis but past the upright as
:15:03. > :15:06.well. It has been that kind of season four Partick Thistle, a fine
:15:07. > :15:11.performance together at the moment, another fine but futile performance,
:15:12. > :15:14.it seems as they trailed 1-0. Let's go to Inverness for an update on
:15:15. > :15:20.Caley Thistle against Dundee from Martin. Still all square? It is and
:15:21. > :15:23.I frankly can't down a bit and so has the action. Picking up on what
:15:24. > :15:26.Gemma said, the point is, Inverness need more than a point today and you
:15:27. > :15:31.wonder if they will throw everything at it in the last few minutes and
:15:32. > :15:34.whether Dundee might capitalise? I should mention Derby have had some
:15:35. > :15:38.chances to get a bird, Paul McGowan hit a post, blazed over when clean
:15:39. > :15:41.through and they are countering quite effectively. Inverness with a
:15:42. > :15:45.missed penalty as well. A special mention for Scott Bain in the Dundee
:15:46. > :15:49.goal. He has been absolutely excellent today. Still a few minutes
:15:50. > :15:57.to go, and Richie Foran is pointing his troops forward. Still 2-0. --
:15:58. > :16:01.Tim Whiteman two. Jollies watching Hamilton against Kilmarnock, still
:16:02. > :16:04.level there? Yes but both teams going for the win, Conor Sammon has
:16:05. > :16:08.come on for Kilmarnock replacing Kris Boyd but has not really had an
:16:09. > :16:12.opportunity to get on the end of any crosses yet. What we did have was a
:16:13. > :16:16.good corner from Daniel Redmond that nearly sneaked in. The Kilmarnock
:16:17. > :16:19.defence and goalkeeper did all they nearly sneaked in. The Kilmarnock
:16:20. > :16:24.could to keep it out. Just into five minutes left and it is still 1-1.
:16:25. > :16:30.Back to the Championship and Richard Wilson at Easter Road, Hibs against
:16:31. > :16:33.Ayr, still 1-1? Yes, and having equalised in the 71st minute, Hibs
:16:34. > :16:37.desperately searching for the winner. Jason Cummings. At a 20 yard
:16:38. > :16:42.shot put up -- pushed away and Grant Holt met a cross into the area with
:16:43. > :16:45.a header which was met on the line. Hibs still out of sorts and it was
:16:46. > :16:48.not that long ago that Brian Graham Jason Cummings were arguing after
:16:49. > :16:52.they got in each other's way on the edge of the area. Hibs trying
:16:53. > :16:57.everything they can to score but Ayr hanging on at the moment. They are
:16:58. > :17:03.tackling each other, are with each other, what is going on? Ryder that
:17:04. > :17:06.is how keen they are to play against Hearts next weekend! Aberdeen have
:17:07. > :17:16.just scored so we will go to Pittodrie to get an update on that
:17:17. > :17:18.one from Martin. Ryan Christie has scored for Aberdeen, his second
:17:19. > :17:23.appearance as a substitute, could not play against his parent club in
:17:24. > :17:26.midweek but in stoppage time, here, it is really rubbing it in after a
:17:27. > :17:30.great performance by Partick Thistle. Stockley, the other
:17:31. > :17:31.substitute, hooked it into the six yard box and there was Ryan Christie
:17:32. > :17:36.to knock it into the back of the net yard box and there was Ryan Christie
:17:37. > :17:37.and make sure that Aberdeen see this through, to get three precious
:17:38. > :17:39.points in their bid to finish second through, to get three precious
:17:40. > :17:44.in the league this season. They lead through, to get three precious
:17:45. > :17:50.2-0 now. Ryan Christie's first Aberdeen goal? Fantastic, Derek
:17:51. > :17:53.McInnes will be loving it. Looks as though he could be a valuable
:17:54. > :17:56.acquisition for the Dons. I would think so, you are adding quality,
:17:57. > :18:01.you know he can play but he can't get a regular game at Celtic and
:18:02. > :18:03.learns nothing playing in the U21s so you move on and get playing and
:18:04. > :18:07.if you can get into the Aberdeen team, he's playing in a battle for
:18:08. > :18:10.second place, high profile pictures every week, good for his development
:18:11. > :18:15.and Aberdeen and he goes back to sell a better player. Another player
:18:16. > :18:17.returning to his old stomping ground, Conor Sammon back at
:18:18. > :18:22.Kilmarnock having scored 18 bearing one season, half of that for the
:18:23. > :18:25.rest of the season would do then wonders, wouldn't it? Yes,
:18:26. > :18:29.especially with Coulibaly, gone, who scored half of their goals this
:18:30. > :18:35.season. Not quite the same player, though. He has different attributes,
:18:36. > :18:39.put it that way! To be fair, this game at nuclear -- New Douglas Park
:18:40. > :18:42.looks like a cracker, both teams going for it. Kilmarnock have been
:18:43. > :18:47.unbeaten in the last five visits and they are pressing and pressing. But
:18:48. > :18:50.if Conor Sammon hit the ground running, that would be fantastic,
:18:51. > :18:54.he's not been in the goals that Hearts but Kilmarnock need it.
:18:55. > :18:58.Thinking, talking about how Inverness need a win but if they get
:18:59. > :19:03.a point today, the fans will be going home with a bit of a spring in
:19:04. > :19:07.their step. The way the point was won, having gone 2-2 -- two goals
:19:08. > :19:10.down and then you shown the right spirit and come back into the game,
:19:11. > :19:15.both sides have had chances and it's always a good game for Inverness.
:19:16. > :19:19.Dundee have never won a league game at Inverness in ten attempts, 60
:19:20. > :19:23.feet and four draws. It would be a good result for them. It is full at
:19:24. > :19:31.Pittodrie in a match between Aberdeen and Partick. -- full-time.
:19:32. > :19:35.It has finished 2-0, not for those Partick Thistle players but for
:19:36. > :19:39.Aberdeen, let's if Scott Davie. Derek McInnes really went for broke
:19:40. > :19:43.knowing what the situation was at Ibrox and how important it was that
:19:44. > :19:47.Aberdeen saw the game through to get the three points against a very
:19:48. > :19:50.stubborn resistance defensively and a side that created some of the
:19:51. > :19:54.better chances in the game in Partick Thistle. He took of tee
:19:55. > :19:58.defenders and put on Ryan Christie, the on loan midfielder from Celtic
:19:59. > :20:02.and Jayden Stockley upfront and the substitutes did the business as
:20:03. > :20:05.Aberdeen switched to a three-man backline. Stockley headed home his
:20:06. > :20:09.fifth goal of the season on 72 minutes from a Niall McGinn swerving
:20:10. > :20:20.free kick from the left-hand side and then in stoppage time, at the
:20:21. > :20:22.end, there was Christie, to score his first goal during his loan
:20:23. > :20:25.spell, in only his second appearance for the club. Stockley put it on a
:20:26. > :20:28.plate for him inside the six yard box and a former Caley Thistle
:20:29. > :20:30.player knocked into the back of the net to complete a miserable what if
:20:31. > :20:33.afternoon for Partick Thistle who have now gone 406 minutes without
:20:34. > :20:36.scoring a league goal and have taken four points from 12 matches against
:20:37. > :20:40.teams in the top five places in the Premiership and the reason is, they
:20:41. > :20:43.can't finish the chances they have created. Christie Elliot in the
:20:44. > :20:47.first half, Edwards and substitute Adebayo Azeez in the second, all
:20:48. > :20:50.with wonderful opportunities to score but they failed to take them
:20:51. > :20:54.and it is the same story for Partick, losing 2-0. Full-time
:20:55. > :21:02.whistle sounding around the country. Next up, Inverness against Dundee.
:21:03. > :21:06.It is over, finishing 2-2, Martin? Greg Tansey's late equaliser getting
:21:07. > :21:10.a vital point in the home side after they trailed by two goals in a
:21:11. > :21:14.fabulous match. Inverness started very well and hit the post, had a
:21:15. > :21:19.goal chalked off but done the lead when Marcus Haber nodded home,
:21:20. > :21:24.compounded when Darren O'Dea nodded vaguely's corner in and Billy
:21:25. > :21:27.McKay's penalty brought out, McGowan threatened a third for Dundee when
:21:28. > :21:31.he hit the post and then blazed over went through on goal. Inverness
:21:32. > :21:34.pushed and got a second spot kick, the Dundee defence daft to concede
:21:35. > :21:41.for holding. Billy McKay stepped up but the superb Scott Bain stopped
:21:42. > :21:44.it, but then when he blocked another rapid, Greg Tansey kept his head and
:21:45. > :21:48.slotted into the corner. A welcome point for the home side given
:21:49. > :21:55.circumstances but when the dust settles, you wonder whether it will
:21:56. > :21:59.be enough? At full-time, 2-2. And the match has come and gone at
:22:00. > :22:04.Hamilton, Accies against Kilmarnock this afternoon. Charlie, another
:22:05. > :22:07.draw? Another draw and a good game as well, 1-1, a point apiece, just
:22:08. > :22:13.about right on the way the has gone in 90 minutes. Both teams won last
:22:14. > :22:16.time out so the form was good coming into this one and certainly in the
:22:17. > :22:21.first half, they both went about their business in an excellent
:22:22. > :22:25.fashion. Kilmarnock took the lead on seven minutes, both goals very
:22:26. > :22:29.similar, Kilmarnock took the lead with Sean Long staff, 20 yards out,
:22:30. > :22:33.good, low shot past the goalkeeper into the back of the net. Eamon
:22:34. > :22:37.Brophy had come on as a substitute for Accies on 15 minutes and two
:22:38. > :22:41.minutes before the interval, he equalised. It was a great goal,
:22:42. > :22:44.taking it on his chest, turning, 20 yards out, low shot past the
:22:45. > :22:49.goalkeeper. Both of them went for it in the second half, not as many
:22:50. > :22:52.chances as there was in the first, Danny Redmond had a corner that
:22:53. > :22:55.almost sneaked in and then write in the dying embers, Rory McKenzie with
:22:56. > :22:59.a header, a diving header in the box, might have done better but the

:23:05. > :23:07.the way this one went. Into the Championship now and we had to the
:23:08. > :23:10.the way this one went. Into the Falkirk Stadium where we join Tam
:23:11. > :23:16.McManus on his trusty mobile to tell us what happened when the bairns met
:23:17. > :23:19.the piles of Dunfermline. It finished Falkirk 2-0 Dunfermline, a
:23:20. > :23:23.dominant full cup performance from start to finish. They went 1-0 up in
:23:24. > :23:27.the 33rd minute, Hayley Millar knocked down headed home by Baird
:23:28. > :23:30.from a couple of yards out, Michael Moffat had a rare chance on
:23:31. > :23:33.half-time but shot wide the Dunfermline, and the second of it
:23:34. > :23:38.was all for Kirk again, would-be killer second goal, bed's strike,
:23:39. > :23:42.sensational save, but the rebound fell kindly for Lee Miller, who
:23:43. > :23:44.rifled them to make it 2-0 and game over. Falkirk see the gay Matt
:23:45. > :23:49.Toomua three points behind Dundee United but the path' promotion dream
:23:50. > :23:56.looks all but buried. Add full-time, 2-0. Let's find out how it finished
:23:57. > :24:01.at Easter Road, the match between Hibs and second bottom Ayr was
:24:02. > :24:04.watched by Richard Wilson. David, it finished in a drawer and Hibs needed
:24:05. > :24:08.a late goal to rescue that, Jason Cummings with a header in the 75th
:24:09. > :24:12.minute but in truth, the league leaders will see this as two points
:24:13. > :24:15.dropped against Ayr, who are second bottom of the Championship. The
:24:16. > :24:19.visitors took the lead after four minutes, Robbie Crawford picking up
:24:20. > :24:23.the ball outside the area, jinking inside, past three challenges to get
:24:24. > :24:27.past Laidlaw. After that, it was all Hibs but they were out of sorts,
:24:28. > :24:30.created little, did not manage to get behind the Ayr defence often
:24:31. > :24:40.enough and even in the second half when Grant Holt and Brian Graham
:24:41. > :24:43.were on, the crosses led to nothing until Jason Cummings came off the
:24:44. > :24:46.bench to score. At the death, Grant Holt had a header cleared off the
:24:47. > :24:48.line. Ayr hung on for the point and it finished 1-1. It also finished
:24:49. > :24:52.1-1 between Rangers, who started the day in second place in the
:24:53. > :24:57.Premiership, against Ross County. County going ahead through Alex
:24:58. > :25:00.Schalk in the 19th minute, and it took a Lea Wallace equaliser in the
:25:01. > :25:04.72nd minute to make sure Rangers got at least a point out of that one.
:25:05. > :25:09.Probably the best news for Rangers today, the attendance, just under
:25:10. > :25:14.50,000. Perhaps the surprise of the day in the Championship came in
:25:15. > :25:18.Dumfries at Palmerston Park where Queen of the South were at home to
:25:19. > :25:23.Morton so let's you about that from Sandra Brown. Big result for Queen
:25:24. > :25:26.of the South, David, as they beat Morton 3-0. For long spells, the
:25:27. > :25:30.game hung in a balanced as both sides were evenly matched. It took
:25:31. > :25:33.until the 75th minute before we got the breakthrough is that came after
:25:34. > :25:38.some good play by Scott Merson on the right, who set up Thomas, who
:25:39. > :25:42.played the ball into the box for Derek Lyle, who had his back to goal
:25:43. > :25:46.but managed to do a head on it and the ball was over the top of the
:25:47. > :25:51.goalkeeper. They almost doubled their lead two minutes later when
:25:52. > :25:56.Stephen Dobbie capitalised on a rare mistake at the goalkeeper came out
:25:57. > :25:59.to save and then Lyle knocked the rebound past the post. They did find
:26:00. > :26:04.a second, eight minutes from time, when it was a strike that was fit to
:26:05. > :26:09.win any game, Kyle Jacobs, 25 yards from goal, unleashing a right foot
:26:10. > :26:14.shot that flew past Gaston into the top corner but he was outdone by Joe
:26:15. > :26:17.Thompson who ran the full length of the park before slotting the ball
:26:18. > :26:26.past Gaston in injury time to make it three. Let's go to Dumbarton and
:26:27. > :26:30.find out what happened when the sun is met the bodies, Dumbarton against
:26:31. > :26:35.St Mirren. Robert McClain is there. Not the result you are looking for,
:26:36. > :26:39.as you were at the bottom of the Championship, St Mirren still seven
:26:40. > :26:42.behind Ayr, 11 behind today's opponents, Dumbarton, they got the
:26:43. > :26:46.opening goal, Saints, ten minutes from half-time, David Clarkson after
:26:47. > :26:50.good work from Cammy Smith, prodding in and it was 1-0 at half-time,
:26:51. > :26:54.early second-half equaliser, St Mirren suspect at corners all day
:26:55. > :26:57.long, Christian Aid heading in from Andy Stirling's delivery, Saints
:26:58. > :27:02.ahead again, though, Harry Davis on debut on loan from Crewe Alexandra,
:27:03. > :27:05.the central defender, heading in Stephen McGinn's free kick off the
:27:06. > :27:10.underside of the bar but it was all square again, ten minutes from time,
:27:11. > :27:13.Robert Thomson, the top score of the Dumbarton, his seventh of the
:27:14. > :27:16.season, Christian Aid with the knock-down and he rattled in from
:27:17. > :27:22.close range and the teams had to settle for a share of the points.
:27:23. > :27:25.What do you think the biggest story of the day is, Aberdeen's whenever
:27:26. > :27:32.Partick Thistle, Rangers dropping points Achanta Ross County? Is it a
:27:33. > :27:35.combination of the two? Probably the big headline will be Rangers
:27:36. > :27:38.dropping points at home against Ross County, they have dropped against
:27:39. > :27:41.Hamilton, St Johnstone, twice against Ross County at home, home
:27:42. > :27:44.form has not been bad but that is a lot of points that have drifted
:27:45. > :27:48.away, losing two points every time you draw and that is what Hearts and
:27:49. > :27:52.Aberdeen took advantage with the wins, going into second place with a
:27:53. > :28:02.game in hand. It is a battle and it might go to the wire but I think a
:28:03. > :28:05.lot of people expected Rangers to be fired up and be too strong for
:28:06. > :28:07.County today, great result for Drew McIntyre's team but not so good for
:28:08. > :28:09.County today, great result for Drew Rangers. The Hearts performance was
:28:10. > :28:11.described by Mark Warburton as an acceptable. How do you think this
:28:12. > :28:17.rates on that scale? Going on the score, it must be completely
:28:18. > :28:21.unacceptable. The worst result of the weekend? In terms of the
:28:22. > :28:24.performance against Trott, that was completely unacceptable as well as
:28:25. > :28:26.the result but I think it is the fact that you have had that and
:28:27. > :28:30.there has been no reaction. You have gone behind and it has taken until
:28:31. > :28:34.the 71st minute and then you have come away, you have not found the
:28:35. > :28:38.ability to dig in and find that kind of extra bit of something to get a
:28:39. > :28:41.victory, even if you are playing terribly or well, you force the win
:28:42. > :28:47.and teams that go on and be successful find a way to do that.
:28:48. > :28:51.That will be disappointing for him. Will you be under severe pressure
:28:52. > :28:55.now, Mark Warburton? He lives under pressure, he's the Rangers manager,
:28:56. > :28:58.it's a weekly thing, Celtic are miles away and they are going to win
:28:59. > :29:01.the title, they have a ready won wake up and the Scottish Cup is
:29:02. > :29:04.still to play for but the Rangers fans are hoping they would be closer
:29:05. > :29:07.than that. Celtic spent the most money and they will be number one
:29:08. > :29:14.and Rangers next best and they should be number two but at the
:29:15. > :29:17.moment, Aberdeen, who don't budget, are ahead of them, and then Hearts,
:29:18. > :29:19.the fourth biggest spenders are fourth, so it is almost in line but
:29:20. > :29:22.Aberdeen have jumped above Rangers and Derek McInnes will be the first
:29:23. > :29:24.to tell you his budget does not match Mark Warburton's sub of course
:29:25. > :29:28.the Rangers manager after every poor result has to come out and make an
:29:29. > :29:32.excuse and tell the fans how you is going to solve it. It is time to put
:29:33. > :29:34.me under severe pressure because it is time for the classified results
:29:35. > :35:59.round-up. One championship match is still to
:36:00. > :36:04.kick-off. It's between two teams who have been struggling for winds of
:36:05. > :36:09.late. Dundee United at home against Raith Rovers. Let's get a flavour of
:36:10. > :36:14.the atmosphere at Tannadice. Two draws in two meetings this
:36:15. > :36:18.season but a draw would not be a good result tonight. Dundee United
:36:19. > :36:22.looking to win for the first time in five league matches. Raith Rovers
:36:23. > :36:25.without a win in their last ten league matches. And they were beaten
:36:26. > :36:31.heavily last weekend at home despite taking the lead against Dumbarton.
:36:32. > :36:39.Simon Murray replaces Willo Flood for Dundee United. Gary Locke is
:36:40. > :36:44.seeking to find an evasive winning formula. With Hibs being held at
:36:45. > :36:48.home today, a big chance for United to gain some ground and I expect
:36:49. > :36:53.they will do so. A bold prediction from Paul
:36:54. > :36:58.Mitchell. Dundee United have the incentive. If they win, they narrow
:36:59. > :37:03.the gap at the top points and while it did look like the title race was
:37:04. > :37:09.over, it could rekindle. United need to get back to their top form. Raith
:37:10. > :37:13.Rovers cannot get a victory at all. A lot of people see this as a Dundee
:37:14. > :37:17.United win but what with Rovers have done during the campaign is that
:37:18. > :37:23.they have played the big matches. They have drawn twice with United
:37:24. > :37:28.and twice with Hibs. That doesn't sound like a resounding endorsement
:37:29. > :37:31.for Paul Mitchell's view. If you look at the two teams and the squads
:37:32. > :37:35.and the runs they are wrong, you have got to go Dundee United, but
:37:36. > :37:41.Raith Rovers on their day can cause problems. Gary Locke, the problem
:37:42. > :37:45.is, they are ten matches without a win, you wonder where the next
:37:46. > :37:50.victory is going to come from. I expect Raith Rovers to fight tooth
:37:51. > :37:55.and nail. They are in freefall, Raith Rovers. And the teams at the
:37:56. > :38:00.bottom are picking up points. Raith Rovers are being sucked into maybe
:38:01. > :38:06.not the automatic relegation but the play-off spot. It has got to stop
:38:07. > :38:11.somewhere and this would be a great place for it to stop. It's not like
:38:12. > :38:15.Dundee United have been winning, winning, winning. I agreed and
:38:16. > :38:19.United have got that extra bit of quality but Gary Locke's teams know
:38:20. > :38:20.how to make it difficult and even a point here would be a fantastic
:38:21. > :38:35.result. They have got to get three points on
:38:36. > :38:40.the board regular but Dumbarton at home, they beat United twice, they
:38:41. > :38:43.beat Falkirk, it is not an easy place to go. Neither is Stamford
:38:44. > :38:48.Bridge and that is where we are going to start our English round-up
:38:49. > :38:54.today. Chelsea were at home to Arsenal in a lunchtime London derby.
:38:55. > :38:59.There are days in late winter, early spring, when you see the blossoming
:39:00. > :39:04.of title winners. This was one. Chelsea will take some stopping now.
:39:05. > :39:08.Arsenal certainly couldn't do it. From the moment Diego Costa hit the
:39:09. > :39:15.bar and Alonso headed in the rebound, the game was lost long
:39:16. > :39:20.before Chelsea's second. Eden Hazard dribbling from halfway, leaving a
:39:21. > :39:25.trail of bodies behind him. It was a sublime Chelsea moment. And then to
:39:26. > :39:32.cap it all, Cesc Fabregas came off the bench, within 90 seconds, he
:39:33. > :39:35.scored the third. Olivier Giroud pulled one back with a late header.
:39:36. > :39:40.scored the third. Olivier Giroud Arsenal were always second best.
:39:41. > :39:46.Chelsea have seen off their challenge and in this form will see
:39:47. > :39:55.off the rest too. 3-1. Liverpool were second best way
:39:56. > :39:59.against Hull City this afternoon. After dry January, Liverpool remain
:40:00. > :40:03.firmly on the wagon. Still no win in 2017 in the Premier League. Both
:40:04. > :40:10.goals from Hull City showing up their defensive frailties. The first
:40:11. > :40:19.from N'Diaye on his debut. The second was Route one. With Man City
:40:20. > :40:23.in action tomorrow, Liverpool could slip out of the top four come the
:40:24. > :40:29.end of the weekend. But for Hull City, the great escape is on.
:40:30. > :40:35.A big win there for struggling Hull City. An even bigger win for David
:40:36. > :40:40.Moyes' Sunderland. They were away at Crystal Palace this afternoon. Let's
:40:41. > :40:44.get the story. A humiliating day for Sam Allardyce
:40:45. > :40:48.and the Palace supporters are pointing fingers at the players as
:40:49. > :40:51.they go down the tunnel. The stewards are having to fight them
:40:52. > :40:57.off such is the embarrassment and anger towards the performance. They
:40:58. > :41:00.lacked character, they lack now up upfront and everything you need to
:41:01. > :41:03.pick up even a point. Such an important football match. Seven
:41:04. > :41:10.points here from a possible 36. The important football match. Seven
:41:11. > :41:13.goal came from Kone early on. Larsson was let off a second yellow
:41:14. > :41:18.card and then three goals in five minutes before the break for Ndong
:41:19. > :41:26.and then two from Jermain Defoe. Palace never recovered. An awful day
:41:27. > :41:31.for them. Only a second away win of the season for Sunderland.
:41:32. > :41:35.Jackie Oakley with a tale of goals galore. There were even more at
:41:36. > :41:41.Goodison Park in the game between Everton and Bournemouth.
:41:42. > :41:45.What an afternoon at Goodison Park. The faithful loving 2017. Seven
:41:46. > :41:50.games unbeaten and since Christmas they have scored three, four and six
:41:51. > :41:58.in their three matches here. The writing was on the wall when Lukaku
:41:59. > :42:04.smashing home his first. McCarthy scored the second. Bournemouth made
:42:05. > :42:13.changes at half-time and King scored two. And Goodison faithful started
:42:14. > :42:16.to get nervous but then Lukaku added his hat-trick and then another to
:42:17. > :42:21.make him the top scorer in the Premier League as things stand now.
:42:22. > :42:25.Harry Arter pulled another one back for Bournemouth. Nine goals but
:42:26. > :42:35.Everton get six. Plenty of goals at Southampton. The
:42:36. > :42:39.Saints were entertaining West Ham this afternoon.
:42:40. > :42:43.Slaven Bilic individually high-fiving all his players in the
:42:44. > :42:46.tunnel as they disappear back to the dressing room and this as
:42:47. > :42:51.comfortable and away win as he will see in the Premier League. West Ham
:42:52. > :42:56.defensively secure, they attacked with more intent, and Southampton's
:42:57. > :42:59.troubles there for all to see. The script looked like it was going to
:43:00. > :43:06.have a different narrative earlier on when Gabbiadini, on his debut,
:43:07. > :43:11.cracked home his first goal for the home side but West Ham were level
:43:12. > :43:16.within two minutes through Carroll's goal. Obiang scored his first for
:43:17. > :43:21.the club and they extended their advantage shortly after the break
:43:22. > :43:27.through Noble. The Hammers were in control. It is six defeats in seven
:43:28. > :43:30.now for Southampton and there will be a few Saints fans who will be
:43:31. > :43:36.analysing that Premier League table and little more over the weekend.
:43:37. > :43:42.Let's head to Vicarage Road where they were to mid-table teams in
:43:43. > :43:47.action. Watford against Burnley. They have hung on for a deserved
:43:48. > :43:49.victory over the balance of play. Ten man Burnley pushed them late on
:43:50. > :43:52.victory over the balance of play. but the penalty was just a
:43:53. > :44:05.consolation. Captain Troy Deeney and the very impressive by Deanne. The
:44:06. > :44:08.red card left Burnley with a mountain to climb and Sean Dyche's
:44:09. > :44:10.return to Watford is a miserable one. Just one point on the road for
:44:11. > :44:19.them all season. Now to the Hawthorns and Ivan
:44:20. > :44:22.Gaskell who has news of a Scottish international on the scoresheet in
:44:23. > :44:27.the match between West Brom and Stoke. Seems a lifetime ago since
:44:28. > :44:31.James Morrison steered the lone shot past Lee Grant to give West Brom the
:44:32. > :44:36.lead. They made the fans sweat. Berahino came off the bench but had
:44:37. > :44:40.little impact and his old club had the final, well, let's say the end
:44:41. > :44:43.of the sorry story and they had the last laugh in it. The trouble is
:44:44. > :44:48.still going on and it is being quelled, I will keep an eye on it
:44:49. > :44:52.but it finished 1-0. Jonathan Pearce at Stamford Bridge said he detected
:44:53. > :44:58.the blossoming of title winners. It certainly looks that way. Not that
:44:59. > :45:04.long ago, Arsenal beat Chelsea 3-0. That was in September. What a
:45:05. > :45:09.turnaround. The thing for Arsenal is Christmas has happened and that
:45:10. > :45:13.tends to be the thing! If you're an Arsenal fan and I'm not, you just
:45:14. > :45:17.think, "Same old Arsenal, they always look full of promise and then
:45:18. > :45:22.they just drift off". But Chelsea have been quietly going... Everyone
:45:23. > :45:28.has been talking about Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte has said, "That is
:45:29. > :45:32.fine". They are in the clear. They will be hard to catch and they got
:45:33. > :45:34.strength in depth and if they lose a player, they can bring in one of
:45:35. > :45:37.senior quality, they have got a lead, Arsenal have lost the last
:45:38. > :45:41.couple, Liverpool have no wins in five, everyone else is going
:45:42. > :45:45.backwards and Chelsea are cruising to the championship. The wheels are
:45:46. > :45:49.well and truly off the Liverpool wagon. Arsenal have had a poor start
:45:50. > :45:54.to the year but what about Liverpool? Klopp's hop crisis. He is
:45:55. > :45:59.the man that Liverpool want but I don't know how much more you can
:46:00. > :46:04.defend what is happening right now. It is not just losing, it is against
:46:05. > :46:09.teams that they were absolutely annihilating in the first half of
:46:10. > :46:14.the season. Have they run out of steam? Possibly. Not much strength
:46:15. > :46:18.in depth. Not compare to the really big spenders but the fact is, they
:46:19. > :46:22.are losing to Hull, getting knocked out of the cup by Southampton, and
:46:23. > :46:25.then by Wolves, you have to criticise the manager for that.
:46:26. > :46:29.These are games they should be winning. If you are losing to
:46:30. > :46:34.Manchester City, United and Chelsea, you can live with that but they are
:46:35. > :46:37.losing to teams that, in their position, you have to be winning.
:46:38. > :46:41.One Premiership match still to be played this weekend, the Sunday
:46:42. > :46:44.special between St Johnstone and Celtic in Perth. You will be able to
:46:45. > :46:50.listen to it live tomorrow afternoon. The show starts at midday
:46:51. > :46:55.on FM, medium wave, digital and online. I don't think I've missed
:46:56. > :46:58.anything there! The home team chasing a third successive win
:46:59. > :47:04.having beaten Partick on Tuesday. This will bring joy to your heart,
:47:05. > :47:06.Gemma, to see this again. Not to Partick Thistle hearts, a terrible
:47:07. > :47:10.goal to concede but thinking back to the game against Hamilton and this
:47:11. > :47:13.game, where actually, I think Hamilton and Partick had the better
:47:14. > :47:17.of the chances in the first off, they played us off the park but
:47:18. > :47:25.there's a bit of resilience, Susanna Clarke has been doing excellent in
:47:26. > :47:28.goal for us and we've managed to come away with the wins. What Tommy
:47:29. > :47:31.Wright does with the budget he has, which is minimal at best, is the
:47:32. > :47:34.ability to do this every year, to have us up there and we are on 34
:47:35. > :47:38.points, ten clear of the closest rival. It is great. The last team to
:47:39. > :47:43.beat Celtic in a domestic game was St Johnstone, 2-1 at Fir Park in May
:47:44. > :47:48.of last year. I think Celtic looked like they were in second gear
:47:49. > :47:52.against Aberdeen, only 1-0, so there's a chance! If you think St
:47:53. > :47:55.Johnstone's recent form is impressive, what about league
:47:56. > :47:59.leaders Celtic? Base recorded their 18th successive league win on
:48:00. > :48:02.Thursday with a narrow win over third placed Aberdeen. There is no
:48:03. > :48:07.stopping them. They have the quality and the momentum. Boyata comes back
:48:08. > :48:11.in the team against the winner against St Johnstone, he gets the
:48:12. > :48:14.winner there, I watched them against Hearts and Hearts defended well and

:49:03. > :49:06.Premiership chat, now we can hear from one of the managers, whose team
:49:07. > :49:12.was in action this afternoon, Hamilton's Martin Canning after the
:49:13. > :49:16.1-1 draw with Kilmarnock. He spoke to Charlie Mann. I think so, I said
:49:17. > :49:19.that to the other reporter, I don't think we did enough to win the game
:49:20. > :49:23.or to lose the game, I think the point was a fair result. I thought
:49:24. > :49:28.the first 25 minutes, Kilmarnock started better. I thought we changed
:49:29. > :49:30.it, went 4-3- three and got a foothold, had a couple of good
:49:31. > :49:36.opportunities to equalise before we did. Then we get it back to 1-1 and
:49:37. > :49:40.I was pleased at half-time because it could have been worse, given the
:49:41. > :49:43.way the game had started but in the second half, I thought we were the
:49:44. > :49:46.better team. Second-half -- first off, I thought we were the better,
:49:47. > :49:51.and second-half I did not think there was much in it, a couple of
:49:52. > :49:54.headers past the post and we did not make the most of it. Had we nicked
:49:55. > :49:56.it, you could have argued it, had they nicked it, probably not so a
:49:57. > :50:00.point was probably a fair result. they nicked it, probably not so a
:50:01. > :50:02.The second half, when you were better, was it because you got
:50:03. > :50:06.closer to kill Mamdouh Abou Ebaid, did you give them too much space in
:50:07. > :50:16.the first? I think so and you can see that they have had a week to
:50:17. > :50:19.prepare for the game and we had a big midweek game which has taken a
:50:20. > :50:21.lot out of us emotionally, mentally and physically. You could see that
:50:22. > :50:24.from the start. They are coming off the back of a good result last week
:50:25. > :50:27.against Ross County. Both teams were on a high but they were a bit
:50:28. > :50:30.fresher than us given we had a game in the week. You could see that and
:50:31. > :50:34.the longer the game went, we got into it and I thought we tired a bit
:50:35. > :50:38.in the middle of the park in the last ten minutes of each. We will a
:50:39. > :50:41.point and it is four out of six, two big games, we would have liked to
:50:42. > :50:44.have taken six out of six but I said to the boys in there, we have gained
:50:45. > :50:49.a point, if you like three points off the top -- of the top six, some
:50:50. > :50:54.point better off than where we started. I think I got all of that!
:50:55. > :50:58.In an ever-changing word, some things you can rely on, Hamilton
:50:59. > :51:02.getting a draw is one of them. -- ever-changing world. Is that well
:51:03. > :51:05.for the season? Dundee had 15 losses and so it looks like they will catch
:51:06. > :51:08.them but the good news is, they came from behind, rather than taking the
:51:09. > :51:11.lead and losing it again. Martin Canning mentioned they are three
:51:12. > :51:15.points off the bottom six but they are also three points off the bottom
:51:16. > :51:16.of the table, it is so tight but take the positives. 12 games without
:51:17. > :51:19.of the table, it is so tight but a win, high pressure in midweek
:51:20. > :51:23.against Inverness and they won it. Do follow that up with a draw
:51:24. > :51:28.against Kilmarnock side you have a really good record at New Douglas
:51:29. > :51:32.Park is a good day 's work. Martin Canning's glass is clearly half full
:51:33. > :51:36.so let's find out where the liquid is in that belonging to Lee Clark
:51:37. > :51:40.who also spoke to Charlie after the game. Probably in the end, what is
:51:41. > :51:43.frustrating for us because I thought we were outstanding in about half an
:51:44. > :51:46.hour, Stowe dominant, bit of a strange one because I've been in
:51:47. > :51:51.football a long time, I've experienced going from being that
:51:52. > :51:54.impressive in the first half an hour to call you know, ending up having
:51:55. > :51:58.to scrap for the result in the last 16. We did not do particularly badly
:51:59. > :52:01.in the last 60 minutes but we stopped doing the good things,
:52:02. > :52:06.stopped playing the game simply and quickly. That created those chances.
:52:07. > :52:11.In the end, we are frustrated because, you know, those extra two
:52:12. > :52:17.points would have pushed us clear in sixth with a game next week, the
:52:18. > :52:23.only game going on next weekend. Frustrated, really. Is it another
:52:24. > :52:27.example of just how tight it is between the teams in the lower half
:52:28. > :52:30.of the division? Absolutely, we had four games against Hamilton this
:52:31. > :52:34.season and they've all been extremely tight. We won the league
:52:35. > :52:42.game here with two late goals, 2-1, they beat us in the cup with a late
:52:43. > :52:46.penalty and we have had two draws, 0-0 and today. Everyone is scrapping
:52:47. > :52:51.and fighting. We are well aware of the situation. It is tight. These
:52:52. > :52:55.are the games where you have to take points and we are disappointed we
:52:56. > :53:00.did not take three but we will move on and go again. He's not quite as
:53:01. > :53:04.positive on the outcome of that one as his counterpart at Hamilton. I
:53:05. > :53:08.think that kill Mamdouh Abou Ebaid probably edged it, for me, with the
:53:09. > :53:12.chances that they had. -- kill Marnoch edged that with the chances
:53:13. > :53:15.they had. The amount of players they bought in, the different formations
:53:16. > :53:20.they have played, he said they were sublime in the first 30 minutes and
:53:21. > :53:23.then having to scrap for a point in the last 60 minutes. If you don't
:53:24. > :53:28.have a fluent formation in your team, that will happen. They kind of
:53:29. > :53:32.need to accept that, the Marnoch because they don't have a lot of
:53:33. > :53:35.money. They have to rely on loan signings, they are trying to find
:53:36. > :53:38.what they're best team is with what they have got. They have got
:53:39. > :53:42.opportunities to bring youth into the club. It is kind of this like
:53:43. > :53:47.rolling ball of stuff that is happening. But it is working for
:53:48. > :53:53.them in the sense that they are in a better position. Does that make
:53:54. > :53:58.sense? A rolling ball of stuff, there you go, you can't buy that
:53:59. > :54:02.kind of chat. Time to hear from a winning manager, Derek McInnes, who
:54:03. > :54:06.spoke to Scott Davie after Aberdeen's whenever Partick Thistle.
:54:07. > :54:11.Yeah, I thought at times it was a tough afternoon. I think you have to
:54:12. > :54:14.credit Partick Thistle, they came here with a game plan and I thought
:54:15. > :54:18.they restricted the service in the wide areas, as we thought they would
:54:19. > :54:22.come and we try to get Jonny Hayes a bit more play central to start with.
:54:23. > :54:27.We struggled to get any real with a more momentum. We missed a good few
:54:28. > :54:33.chances in the first half. -- any real rhythm or momentum. If we had
:54:34. > :54:37.taken one of those chances, it might have been disciplined but we asked
:54:38. > :54:39.the questions of Partick Thistle. They've a good size and good
:54:40. > :54:44.organisation about them. We had to try to find a way to win but I'm
:54:45. > :54:47.delighted that the lads did it. The players deserve a lot of credit for
:54:48. > :54:53.finding that victory, especially after the game at on Wednesday night
:54:54. > :54:58.at Parkhead, it was important the substitutes came on to help us win
:54:59. > :55:01.the game and see it out. It's either very windy at Pittodrie or Scott
:55:02. > :55:06.Davie has a serious problem with heavy breathing! Apologies for the
:55:07. > :55:10.sound quality. Derek McInnes showed his tactical prowess in that one
:55:11. > :55:14.today, Craig, as we mentioned. Yeah, he knew it was an opportunity with
:55:15. > :55:17.what was happening at Ibrox only through on the quality players. If
:55:18. > :55:20.you have people like Stockley on the bench and Ryan Christie, get them on
:55:21. > :55:24.and see if they can produce a bit of magic in the final third. They got
:55:25. > :55:27.the goals and they went on to another very important victory
:55:28. > :55:31.because Rangers are struggling just now, the win against Motherwell, the
:55:32. > :55:35.only one in the last five and that is five wins out of six for Aberdeen
:55:36. > :55:39.so they have the momentum just now. Partick, you have to feel sorry for
:55:40. > :55:41.them, Scott mentioned in his report that they are creating chances, the
:55:42. > :55:47.story of their season, creating chances but not converting them. And
:55:48. > :55:52.it is happening every week. That is the big problem for them. Unbeaten
:55:53. > :55:56.against the teams who were in the bottom half at the start of today
:55:57. > :55:59.and have not taken anything off Celtic and they have not taken
:56:00. > :56:02.anything off Rangers and they haven't taken anything off Aberdeen.
:56:03. > :56:04.That is the problem. The high-profile fixtures, the ones
:56:05. > :56:09.where they want to go and prove themselves, at the moment, they are
:56:10. > :56:14.struggling. I'm afraid that is just about it for us today but we can
:56:15. > :56:18.still sneak another sneaky peek at today's results in the top two
:56:19. > :56:25.divisions, why not? Here they come, starting with the Premiership.
:56:26. > :56:31.Aberdeen's result is good enough to take them into second place. All
:56:32. > :56:37.square at Hamilton, Accies drawing 1-1 with Kilmarnock, and all square
:56:38. > :56:41.at Inverness, 2-2 with Dundee. The biggest Premiership win of the day
:56:42. > :56:45.for Hearts, 3-0 away to Motherwell and a disappointing result for
:56:46. > :56:51.Rangers, 1-1 at home to Ross County, and as we mentioned, St Johnstone
:56:52. > :56:54.play Celtic tomorrow. In the Championship, one or two surprises,
:56:55. > :56:58.Hibs, the league leaders, drawing with second bottom Ayr United, and
:56:59. > :57:04.Queen of the South upsetting one of the form teams, Morton, 3-0. A good
:57:05. > :57:08.win for Falkirk against Dunfermline. Dundee United against Raith Rovers
:57:09. > :57:11.is underway, goalless at the moment, as you can see it and the bottom
:57:12. > :57:16.club St Mirren getting a 2-2 draw away to Dumbarton. Now, you can
:57:17. > :57:20.catch highlights of all the weekend's Premiership matches
:57:21. > :57:25.tomorrow evening at 6pm on BBC Two. Please note, no repeat this week on
:57:26. > :57:31.BBC One because of the Super Bowl, whatever that is? And there's live
:57:32. > :57:35.action next Saturday. Did against Inverness in the fifth round of the
:57:36. > :57:40.Scottish Cup. Tune in from midday and stick around for the results
:57:41. > :57:45.later. And if you tune into Radio Scotland, you'll catch Off The Ball,
:57:46. > :57:49.later. And if you tune into Radio and if you're watching, Tam, get
:57:50. > :57:50.well soon. Thanks to Craig and Gemma for their wit and wisdom today. We
:57:51. > :58:03.will see you soon. The 2015 Scottish Cup winners
:58:04. > :58:04.Inverness Caledonian Thistle... Sensational!
:58:05. > :58:08.The stuff that dreams are made of.
