Yes, good afternoon. Welcome to the Results Show. Thanks for tuning in

ahead of the rugby. Astronaut Tim Peake is watching in spates,

apparently. Has no-one told him he is missing out on Scottish results

and much more. Including the wisdom and wit of the guest, Pat knave

yawned Craig Pattinson. Let's have a look the scores.

Two matches tomorrow. East Kilbride against Celtic and

Hearts against Hibs. One match in the Scottish Premiership.

St Johnstone trailing Aberdeen 3-1 now.

Aberdeen go level on points at the top with Celtic should they prevail.

One match in the Scottish championships. St Mirren one up on

Queen of the South. It is all happening across the country. We

start with our rounds in the grounds.

Jo Watched for us by John Barnes. An Dean up 3-1 against St Johnstone.

Opening up the scoring was Adam Rooney with Peter Pawlett. Then

Niall McGinn tapping home after a disastrous bit of defending by St

Johnstone. Did I say Ross County were cruising

their way into the last eight? I think that I did. The first mistake.

Now to Linlithgow Rose. Let's hear what is happening.

It is Ross County, three, Linlithgow Rose, two.

An incredible run here. Here they are not giving up without a fight.

Rory McLennon who has been so important in the competition, at the

end of a wonderful slick passing move, it is now 3-2 for Ross County

with the chances of a shock still on the cards. Although having said

that, Brian Graham made it 4-2. Brian Graham, surely with the final

sale on a Ross County victory. What an effort it has been from the

junior side. Let's head to Fir Park. It is an

all-Premiership cup tie. Motherwell against Inverness. Good afternoon to

Connie McLoughlin. Yes it is all square into the

bargain. 1-1 Motherwell against Inverness. A McMannan own goal,

cancelled out in the second. McDonald, and then Storey scoring

one a piece. It is 1-1. And to now to Chris.

It is something of a wash-out, the game. Dundee United versus Partick

Thistle. United beginning to turn the screw. It is 0-0.

And now to Morton for the championships, it sounds like a job

for Charlie Mann. Annan well beaten by Morton. Morton

professional. Two goals in each half. One by Joe McKee. Then a

little bit of hope for Annan with a goal by Flynn. But then Morton are

now in the finals already. Dumbarton are at home to Dundee.

Nick Ross hit the post. But generally, the Suns have done well.

But still 0-0. Let's head to the paisley 2021

Stadium. That is where St Mirren play at home to Queen of the South.

And they have a 1-0 lead, St Mirren. Mallan's kick in the first half. A

the Queen of the South push to try to get a goal to get a point to push

them into the top four. Never mind Tim Peake, this is like

Twin Peaks! So, let's start off with the one match. Aberdeen, 3-1 up away

to St Johnstone in stark contrast to the last encounter? A 5-5 home

defeat, when he lost against Celtic. But they have come back and how they

have come back. A win today could take them level.

A lot of people expected an away victory. But St Johnstone have

struggled. The league form has gone. They are out of both cups. O'

Halloran has been sold, Dave McKay has been injured. It will be heart

to get St Johnstone back on track. Now, there is no real surprise,

although, Linlithgow Rose putting up a credible showing against Ross

County? They have played very well. Playing the ball well. The goals

have been super as well. Maybe a surprise, maybe the problem for

Kilmarnock, at the moment, though, Dumbarton and Dundee. It is one if

Dundee can get the draw, that could get them back up.

They would go home happy. At Perth there has been a goal.

Adam Rooney claiming his second of the afternoon in the 77th minute.

Shrugging aside two defenders closing them down. A left foot shot

from nine yards on an angle. It dereceived the goalkeeper Alan

Mannus and rolled into the back of the net. St Johnstone, one,

Aberdeen, four. Maybe Aberdeen are repaying them for the 5-1 win

against the Dons this season. The Aberdeen players restoring

parity. Making it 5-1, to give them a taste of their medicine. If only

it worked that way. You have one or two other things on your mind, ie

winning the game. Don't do anything stupid. But a good win, four, maybe

five, the confidence surges through. Everyone will continue to ask

questions of Aberdeen. Even if they win this game today, it will be the

next one, the next one and the next one. But they have done a great run.

Two great runs this season. Although the manager, Derek is saying maybe

we can't win... Do you think he is saying that to the player, Pat? No.

It is interesting. I draw a parallel to Leicester. He is trying to keep

them calm. Relax bad it. Don't worry about it. Don't go psychedelic about

it. Just enjoy yourself and play. You know a what, that is often when

you play best. That is what he is trying to do. To almost, in a

strange way, to keep their minds off it. Easier said than done.

And on Barnes, could this be a fifth for Aberdeen or a second for St

Johnstone. It is a second for St Johnstone. A

corner kick from the right-hand side. Slung in by Liam Craig. Then

Stevie Anderson outjumping everyone to hit it in the net. Thank you very

much. Thank you for not going psychedelic on us! Against, the

Scottish Cup, the fifth round started at lunch time. Rangers, the

leaders, are at home to Rangers. As I mentioned, it finished,

Rangers, nil, Kilmarnock, nil. On the face of it, a better result for

Kilmarnock than Rangers? Yes. The way that the game went, I thought

that Kilmarnock started well. Rangers ground into the game.

Passing the ball, dominating territory. Possession. Rangers

hitting the woodwork. James Tavern, Danny Wilson and a shot with a

header. Craig Slater was unlucky, his shot hit the head of the Rangers

goalkeeper and then went wide. But Rangers dominated the game. Probably

the better chances. But the Kilmarnock side battled. They were

really good. They get another chance at Rugby Park.

Does it swing the balance in favour of Kilmarnock? Maybe not? I would

say that Rangers were the favourite for this one. But Lee McCulloch,

what a lovely period for him. He steadies it with a clean sheet. .

Although Rangers missed a few chances they worked hard. They were

organised. I think that Lee McCulloch, that was the game plan

from the start. They have to have been lucky to get through but they

are not out of it. That is the argument. They will have more of the

game when they go down to Kilmarnock.

What about Linlithgow Rose? Let's find out. We are back to Dingwall.

Ross County against Linlithgow Rose. Let's hear from Scott Davy.

Into the last five minutes. The Linlithgow Rose supporters who

travelled up can be proud of not only the effort that the players put

in but some of the play that was produced. The first junior club to

reach this stage of the competition, the last 16 of the Scottish Cup.

They have shown real spirit and skill as well and caused problems

for the team who remember just last weekend defeated Celtic at Hampden

to reach the League Cup final. The manager saying before the game that

they really needed to be focussed, concentrated and do a professional

job. Paul Quinn his second goal in two games. Heading them into the

early lead. Ross County's full-time training looked decisive in terms of

the quality from the set pieces. By halve it was level and deservedly

so. On the balance of play, Ross County finding it difficult to get a

fluency into the play. But a bizarre own goal from Jamie Reckord. The

ball hit Jamie Reckord and swung into the goal. Within seven or eight

minutes into the start of the second half, Ross County had upped their

game, imagine that there would have been stiff words. Brian Graham

taking advantage of the set piece, waysing one home and then Schalk,

making it 3-1. It looked over there. But then a wonderful goal with

MacLennan getting a fourth goal for his competition for Linlithgow Rose

but then Brian Graham spoiling that with his second to make it four with

a fine shot from the edge of the box to make it 4-2.

Well, Chris music Loughlin was desperate for a goal.

Chris, tell us about it. The home fans on their feet. A

stunning goal from the substitute, Scot Fraser. The ball finding Fraser

on the edge of the box. Turned his body, shot with the left foot and

curled it past the keeper into the back of the net. 1-0 with five

minutes remaining. Let's hear from Connie, she is

watching Motherwell against Inverness.

Really, on the balance of play, you would have to say that Motherwell

should be in the lead. It is now 1-1.

It was in the first half. A goal hit the post it should have been a goal

by the Australian striker but kept out.

It looked like Miles stow Storey had taken the lead but then Steven

McManus got a final touch. He then atoned for that mistake to

assist Scot McDonald to bring them level after 60 minutes. The fans

frustrated as they could see that the match could be won. They tried

to push forward. Great efforts. But 87 minutes on the clock. The fans

excited. They can see that there is potential for this to be won and a

place in the quarter-finals for the prize at the end of the match.

The fans getting excited there. I wonder if there is anything to get

excited about in Dumbarton, Kenny? I am keeping NI on this pitch, which

is cutting up badly. It was quite soggy before kick-off. The game went

ahead but as the game has worn on it is producing divots everywhere. The

best chance of the match came to Dundee after five minutes, Nick Ross

hitting the post. Dumbarton's secret weapon is Doherty, who has scored 20

goals from corners so far this season. The only problem is, he

hasn't had a chance to hit one here today. Still goalless with a few

minutes left. Sandra Brown is an championship duty this afternoon,

watching St Mirren against Queen of the South. Into the final five

minutes here. Queen of the South had a few half chances earlier on, but

St Mirren took the lead in the first half when a soft free kick was

awarded 19 yards out. Mallan curled a beautiful right footed shot past

Thompson into the net. Almost made it 2-0 after Queens's keeper was

lucky to stay on the pitch. He handled the ball out side the box.

Given a yellow card. Russell almost levelled a few minutes before the

break but his shot say. Langford again with another two terrific

saves to deny Picard on both occasions. After that Conroy, the

substitute came on, he hit a free kick and that came off the top of

the crossbar. Queen is pushing to get something from this game, trying

to get themselves into the top Legion d'Honneur place. At the

moment St Mirren are hanging on. -- into the top four places. Lots

happening. Dundee United 's leading Partick Thistle 1-0. Pat, you are

saying it is Rob Austin counter? That would be kind. Probably about

seven or eight challenges where you turned away from. They have been

handling each other. At times more like an ice hockey game. The

referee, to give him his credit, has let the game go on a bit. He has had

to produce a yellow card a couple of times but it is a classic cup tie.

They are going for it. Someone is going for it at Fir Park Stadium. It

had been coming but it looks like it was going to come for the home side,

but this his goal from the visitors. The visitors. At excellent goal from

25 yards out from Roberts, a right footed strike into the bottom of the

net. The home fans stunned, they are on their way to the exit. 1-2. That

is a sore one, back-up exit. 25 years since he lifted the cup? There

are all sorts of things going on around it, which is fabulous, but

you would love the team still to be on the condition and hope to do it

again. Looks like they are out. Two away wins so far this season,

looking like it might go that way again. If you look at the form,

Motherwell have been struggling in recent weeks. Cali Thistle have been

on a good run, so not a big surprise. Stories brewing all over

the country. St Johnstone against Aberdeen, John Barnes, a thrilling

finish? Yes. It is now St Johnstone three, Aberdeen four. A little bit

of stoppage time to be added here. I wonder if the Aberdeen nerves

jangling. I bet they are! What you make of that? Even John couldn't

believe it. You know what the game means, three points, level with

Celtic, you had a great week and managed to beat the leaders to close

the gap. You have a chance to level. Everything in the garden looks rosy

and then a couple of goals, only 4-3. If St Johnstone can get one set

piece, a ball in the box, there will be panic stations. Did you say

everything in the garden is rosy? That would take us to Victoria Park.

Ross County running out winners over Linlithgow. The last junior side in

the condition, the first junior side to get do the last 16. It is all

over, back-up dream is over. Scott Davie will give us a blow by blow

account of how it ended. Hopefully he will... No, he's not going to

talk. The excitement is far too much for him. We will do it. Ross County

4-2 Linlithgow. Flying the flag for the juniors. They got to the last 16

and they have done remarkably well. Yes, played really well. Got the

ball on the deck. Their second goal was a great goal, really worth

watching tonight. I was too busy talking to see it. Don't worry, you

will see it. We said this right at the start of the game, they had one

weakness which was really obvious in the game. They were able to defend

corners and free kicks, particularly anything from wide into the box was

a massive problem for them. We can hear from Scott Davie. Whatever

gremlin was in the system has been eradicated. I think I was speechless

as Jim McIntyre was at half-time when his side were level with

Linlithgow. Paul Quinn scoring his second goal in two games since

returning from Aberdeen. The captain of the club today. The junior side

had difficulties dealing with set pieces in the box all day. It was

exploited that. By half-time they were level. A bizarre own goal from

Jamie Reckford, was booked in the first half. An attempted parents

came back and spun off Jamie Reckford into the net. Ross County

certainly didn't do what Jim McIntyre was suggesting they should

do, which was focused from the get go against their junior opponents.

More focus in the start of the second half and raced into what

looked like a comfortable lead. Brian Graham with his sixth goal of

the season from a corner played in. A powerful header. Another header on

63 minutes, Alex Schalk put the ball in the roof of the net. Linlithgow

Rose showed tenacity throughout this competition. In the 75th minute,

lovely slick passing movement. Ruari MacLennan in for a goal. A little

bit of doubt in the mind of Ross County players. The ball at the edge

of the penalty area and they put it in the back of the net. Limits go

Rose players taking a standing ovation. -- Linlithgow Rose players.

Though this cup might be over, they have a big Scottish Junior cup tie

to look forward to. As far as Ross County are concerned, in one cup

final already and just another couple of games away from another

cup season after a 4-2 win. Not speechless for long! Connie

McLaughlin has lots to talk about, Motherwell and Inverness. It

finished with a win for the cup holders.

Yes, only one place to start, a late winner for Inverness. It broke

Motherwell's Hearts. They have been playing the best of the football and

should have been ahead after 37 minutes, but it went over the bar.

Cali Thistle took advantage of the counterattack and surged up the

other end. Motherwell defender Stephen McManus bundled it across

the line. It looks like it was Miles Storey, but it looks like McManus

got the final touch for an own goal. In the second half the home side

piled on the pressure. The home fans grew frustrated. They levelled

things. Scott McDonald got on the end of McManus's header. Trying to

atone for his earlier mistake with the Mrs. Some slack passing and no

precision finishing let the home side down. 91 minutes on the clock,

Jordan Roberts stunned the home fans with a wonder strike from 25 yards

out and handed Inverness a place in the quarterfinals of the Scottish

Cup. It finished here at Fir Park Stadium 1-2. The stadium announcer

playing always look on the bright side of life to cheer up the

Motherwell fans. The fans at Tannadice Stadium don't need to ring

up, through to the final eight. Dundee United heading through thanks

to the late effort from Scott Fraser. Not much between the sides

in a dreary match. The first half started brightly. Sean Welsh had a

couple of long-range efforts, the second of which was spilled by the

keeper before being swept to safety. As the rain started, the foot. Full

passes were misplaced, shots wavered and niggling fouls persisted. Both

sides pushed for a winner as the clock ticked down. Scott Fraser had

a decent shot saved them with five minutes to go he found space on the

right-hand side of the box and curled in great strike, low past the

goalkeeper. Back to back wins the Dundee United and Scottish Cup

success. Crisis, what crisis? 1-0. Full-time at McDiarmid Park in the

match between St Johnstone and Aberdeen. A real thrill for John

Barnes to describe. 3-4. Aberdeen maintained their title challenge to

move level on points with Celtic after a hard-fought victory here at

McDiarmid Park. Adam Rooney and Peter Pawlett had given the Dons a

half-time 2-0 lead. But they pulled one back seven minutes into the

second period. Niall McGinn stretch the lead before Adam Rooney added

his second of the afternoon to make it 4-1. A late rally from St

Johnstone, Stevie Anderson with a header. That pulled the Saints back

into it to make it 4-3 to the Dons. Saints rallied but could not find an

equaliser and it finished victorious for Derek McInnis's side. Thank you.

Charlie Mann was watching the Scottish Cup match between Annan

Athletic and Morton. A comfortable win for Morton. Very much. 4-1 the

champion side have won this. Always in control. The 4-1 scoreline is no

reflection on their dominance of the game. A hat-trick from McCluskey,

one goal from Joe McKee. A little bit of a consolation from Matt

Flynn, with a header on 71 minutes. It was McCluskey on 21 minutes to

set Morton on their way. Joe McKee scored on 45. McCluskey got another

in the 66 and finished his hat-trick and got his sixth goal of the season

on 68 minutes. Total dominance for Morton. Before this game they had

only won one game in six, against Livingston in the last round of the

cup. Morton enjoy the cup, they have enjoyed thereafter known and they

are into the quarterfinal. Thank you. Kenny Crawford, if you recall

he was watching Dumbarton against Dundee in the Scottish Cup. Yes, the

Cheaper Insurance Direct Stadium. It finished 0-0. I have not seen 22

players so keen to get off the pitch for a while. It was cold, wet and

windy and the pitch was cutting up and it was not a great game. The

best chance of the game fell to Nick Ross early on, five minutes in, set

up by Greg Stewart. He had a shot that hit the post. From then on

Dundee had some shooting practice for the first 10-15 minutes but then

Dumbarton gradually came into the game and competed well. Their spirit

was summed up by a brilliant goal-line clearance by Doherty. And

from there on in it was very scrappy and both teams will sort it out over

a replay. It was 0-0. Thank you. Sandra Brown was next, watching the

championship match, the only match in the championship this afternoon

between St Mirren and Queen of the South. How did it finished? It

finished 1-0. St Mirren will take the three points in the first of

these back-to-back meetings. Queens had the best of the chances early

on. Hutton all had -- had a half chance. Saints took the lead midway

through the first half. A soft free kick, but nothing soft about the

goal. Mallan curling a beautiful right footed shot past the

goalkeeper. The Queens keeper lucky to stay on the pitch after handling

the ball outside the area. Langfield polled more saves off to deny them

scoring. They couldn't find an equaliser, so they have missed the

chance to move into the top four. Saints claimed their second home win

of the season in the space of two weeks. It finished 1-0. St Mirren 24

point off third but only four off a play-off spot. That seems

remarkable. That is the joy of the play-offs. It keeps everyone

interested. They have a chance. Put a little run together... I have to

say, I hadn't realised that until I do is look to it there. Incredible,

that they could get that close. No shocks in the Scottish Cup today.

Dumbarton pulling off a good result at home to Dundee, 0-0. One would

say probably Dundee will go through. Dumbarton, extra money, it is a

chance, you go there and you can play with a bit of freedom and go

for it. Dundee are a team always look like scoring goals. Greg

Stewart is always a danger. I think that Homer, Dundee will be too

strong but you can never tell in the cup. Probably the player of the

round so far, McCluskey. A hat-trick.

It is a good team playing there. To get a hat-trick in the Scottish Cup

is fantastic. And this round. That is a big win. They can look forward

to the draw. Desperate for a home win. But if you have scored a

hat-trick, you must be thinking, give me the next game. Let's play

right away. And a Chas and Dave style knees up

planned if they won. I think that they deserve a party? I think when

you look at how they played, they went to Ross County to play, not to

park the bus. Interesting, speaking to a player,

he said that the manager had not told them the tactics, he thought it

would be to defend? But it is the first time a junior team have

reached the stage of the competition. Don't go out with

regrets. If there is not a lot of chance to win the game, have a bash.

If you are going down early, then defend and that is probably what

opened up the game. Thank you very much, against. Now

for today's classified results roundup. I thought a fourth official

was on strike then! The William Hill Scottish Cup.

Two matches tomorrow, East Kilbride against #1e89ic and -- Hearts

Hearts. One match in the Premiership.

Ripe with significance. Aberdeen level on points with Celtic at the

top after a 4-3 win away to St Johnstone. Celtic have a game in

hand and a superior goal difference. In the championship.

Look at that at the top of the Barclays English Premier League.

Leicester City. A good win for Aston Villa. Four

points behind Sunderland at the foot of the table.

Right to the big story in England this afternoon it was the top two in

action at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City against Leicester.

Let's find out how it finished. It is exciting.

A 15th Premier League win of the season for Leicester.

The first for Manchester City since 2003.

Leicester in charge from the first. Huth with a goal in three minutes.

And they could have added to that but Manchester City had possession

but they could not take from it. Huth added a third, yet another

impressive performance by Leicester City, who is beaten Manchester City

by 3-1. And now for this one Tottenham

against Watford. Tottenham Hotspur are second in the

league table. I will be speaking to Mauricio Pochettino shortly. He will

have to answer the question: Are you title contenders. Tottenham by far

the better contenders. Spurs treated Watford like a badly creased shirt,

they kept pressing. After the hour mark, Kieron Trippier was on hand to

divert home. Watford created little. Tottenham were deserved winners.

Pat is beaming from ear-to-ear. I am not sure if it is for the result of

this match. Stoke against Everton. They scored three in the first half.

They could have had another three in the second.

Lukaku converted a penalty for the 20th of the season. Coleman headed a

second. And then a sloppy pass that Aaron

Lennon sprint through to finish off. There were clear chances in the

second half. The final whistle met with booing by the Stoke City

supporters. Stoke have won just one league game in seven, scoring four,

conceding 12. And Liverpool were at home to

Sunderland. Well, this finished 2-2. This was

really weird. The opening 60 minutes was as bad as you would have seen.

Then Liverpool were in front. In terms of possession, they deserved

to lead. A rush of shots could have added to the lead, then Lallana

added a second goal after Oliveiria. The was half full when Johnson

scored for Sunderland and then two minutes from the end Defoe scored a

second to get a point that Sunderland did not deserve.

Now let's find out what happened at Aston Villa against Norwich City.

Aston Villa, two. Lescott with a header before the half-time whistle.

Agbonlahor with his first goal since March. Then Villa in double figures

for goals scored at home. Chances cleared off the line for Norwich.

But worrying times for them. A fifth straight Premier League defeat. It

begs the question, could this be a championship fixture next season.

Against, what is happening down south.

Pat, where do you want to start? The bottom or the top? The bottom is

interesting. But to be fair the story is Leicester. It is

extraordinary. They keep on going and going. You can't now say that

they won't do it. Every week, Pat, on this show, I ask

the experts who is going to win the title down there, everyone goes for

Manchester City. I wonder if things with you, gentlemen, may have

changed after that result? I'm going for Spurs now! Honestly, you have to

be foolish to guess the Premier League. It is madness. The teams are

great. Everton winning 3-0. I don't have a problem with that.

They easily have a good enough score to anybody the top four. Leicester,

no-one read this at all. Even six months ago. But they keep doing it.

The thing about Leicester, we keep on about this, there is the depth in

the squad. They can afford a few. They have up front good enough

players to come in. No-one else is putting them under pressure. They

definitely can win this. Craig, I was reading Manchester

City, ?230 million, the team cost. Leicester City, one of free

transfers, 5,000-1 you were getting for them to win at the start of the

season. I wish I had put a few bob on that. Ran air Ranieri came in. I

liked him but I did not think he would be championship material. But

they have kept going. Vardy, Mahrez. They are wonderful. Ego for

Manchester. I this that the money talks. If you have enough good

players you will be on top. But I would love to see spirit and the

things that Leicester City have going for them to prove me wrong,

that money does not make a difference. But I still think that

City may catch them. I hope not. Money talks? Well, a goal to nil

here at this game. Partick Thistle.

A good fight. All credit to our defence. We defended soldiedly.

Looking dangerous. Happy with the 1-0 victory.

It was not pretty, it swung end to end? It was a fighting performance.

Both teams. Surprised, really. But hoping that one or two players would

have been a little calmer. With their foot on the ball, been a

little more patient instead of that very quick football, as we often

say. But no, it was a fighting performance. Lots of running, effort

from the boys and attitude. The same as in the Kilmarnock game a couple

of weeks ago. The attitude is important. That is spot on.

Scot Fraser made a huge difference when he came on? Scott is a great

player. He is a goalscorer. He got the opportunity. He took it.

Slighted, imagine, and you are beginning to build momentum? I would

not say that yet. A couple of victories but yes, if we keep these

lines we can put pressure on the teams above us. But delighted with

the next round of the cup. Looking forward to Monday.

Two wins on the spin. He smiled at the beginning but not getting

carried away? No, the job is to get from the foot of that table. They

had to give themselves a fighting chance. Now follow that up with a

Cup win. You are looking forward to the draw. The next two league games

are Motherwell and Hamilton. Two of the teams in the bottom six. If he

can make it a four match winning run, then they will close on the

teams above. Then the pressure grows. But the Cup is good. That is

a break from the league. But a must for United to pick up win after win.

If they close the gap, you never know. Leicester did it down south.

Ross County did it here. Anything can happen. They have stopped

shipping goals? We talk about it being a robust performance by both

sides. His first answers, he spoke about fight both times. He meant in

the fighting spirit. You need that in the bottom league. He will be

pleased with that. He loved the fact he is through to the next round. But

you cannot get out of the position without that fight and fighting

spirit. They are through. As are Ross

County. We can hear from their manager, Jim McIntyre.

We spoke before the game entered you had to be switched on from the start

and it would be a tough game, and it out that way? Yes, scoring an early

goal... I felt we were really sloppy in possession of the ball. We didn't

move it quick enough. We invited pressure, but great credit goes to

Linlithgow. I think they were fantastic. It was a really poor

first goal for us to concede. We have to do far better there.

Sometimes when you make five and six changes and things go OK... But it

didn't today, and it disrupted us. But I don't want to take anything

away from them, because they brought a level of performance here today,

and were well set up. They scored a good second goal as well for the

credit to them. A bit of relief to everybody concerned when Brian

Graham got the goal so quickly. No nervy last ten minutes or so?

Definitely. Goals change games. When they go 3-2 you think, here we go.

But luckily for us it was a good quality goal from us and Brian put

it away. That just relieved the little bit of pressure and we were

able to see the game out quite comfortably from there. I would say

he is relieved rather than happy? Yes, I would say so. I think maybe

slightly surprised at the quality they played against today, because

it is a team that came to play good football. They were open. He talked

about the opposition's good play and the second goal. It was a nice

second goal but he would have been fuming if they even had a draw in

that game and it was possibly on the cards when you go back to 3-2. But

the quality and the set pieces eventually saw them through. Two cup

ties still to be played this weekend, the first of which is an

Edinburgh derby. The only one this season. You will be able to listen

to live coverage of Hearts against Hibernian tomorrow. You can see

highlights on television tomorrow night. Let's have a look at Hearts

got through the fourth round. Do you remember this from last month? A 1-0

win against Aberdeen. No easy feat. Karen Patterson with a corner. They

are much more than just physical, but they use the physical prowess

for many two. That led to the goal. They will take great confidence from

that win. But Hibs will take great confidence from the last appearance

at Tynecastle which was not against Hearts but St Johnstone, lastly, 2-1

winners in the semi. Chips down in the semifinal, winner takes all.

This Hibs side proves they have the mettle for the situation. They

knocked out qualities and Johnstone side, St Johnstone came back into it

with a really good header. I thought, now Hibs can prove to

everybody, if they can come through this. John MacKinnon scores are

wonderful winner. Cup final to look forward to, but they won't be

looking by this game tomorrow. It is Edinburgh's biggest fixture and the

one that hurts when you lose. I am hoping you can both be as

professional as I know you are. Leaving personal leanings aside, I

know you both lean towards Hibs. Pat , what is your feeling? The

favourites are Hearts, because it is a home game for them. But there is

so little in it. The styles are different in the two sides. Makes

intriguing. Yes, and both teams and really good form. I think it will be

a classic Edinburgh derby. If we say Hibs are slight underdogs, is only

slight. I don't think it's like a team at the top of the SPF fell

against a championship team. Robin Elsom thinks Hearts have the edge

because they are playing Premiership opposition week in and week out?

That is possibly true, but Hibs in great form, one defeat in 19. If

they can oppose impose their passing style, then they can get something.

They do have that firepower. If you have it, you'd use it. Anthony

Stokes has come in and scored on his first couple of matches. His fitness

might not be quite fair, but he is a real threat. Jason Cummings provide

the same. Strong in midfield. Hibs have two defend set pieces well. If

Hibs can deal with it, they will be halfway there. Before I move on and

I bother you both with the prediction? I think Hibs. Do you beg

to differ? I do think it is probably the odd goal for Hearts stop I don't

want that to happen... An interesting balance, thank you. To

the other tie taking place tomorrow, never mind David against Goliath

this is like David against the little brother against the liars and

the whole gang. East Kilbride against Celtic. You can watch it

live on BBC One from 2:45pm. Our Celtic fans thinking the

unthinkable? I don't think so. But they have lost their last two

matches, first against Ross County in the League Cup semifinal on

Sunday. To be honest they started the game so well. They got this

goal, Leigh Griffiths laser on a plate for Gary Mackay-Steven. They

had another couple of chances and it looks like it was then be Celtic all

day long. Then this happened and completely change the game. Efe

Ambrose runs into the player, a penalty kick and a red card. Ross

County equalised. A terrific spot kick. After that they use the extra

man and went on to win the game. Well done Ross County, but Celtic

will think it was a case of what might have been. That corner kick,

two blocks and Craig Gordon was held as well. Using good blocks again to

score from corner kicks today. That is something they work very hard on

and is very impressive. It is not negative. Some people, when I talk

about scoring from set pieces, that is a positive, that is how a lot of

goals are scored. The start of a bad week for Celtic and it went from bad

to worse. At Pittodrie they lost 2-1 to Aberdeen. Looking to bounce back

and open a gap at the top of the league again and take some pressure

off the manager, but what a wonderful goal from Jonny Hayes.

Certainly nothing wrong with his left leg, and magnificent effort.

Then Simon Church, just brought in, helped himself to a goal. Celtic did

come back and get one late on but that was a must win for Aberdeen and

a massive boost to their confidence, the fact they came through that test

with flying colours. A strange week for Celtic. League Cup, Premiership,

and now the Scottish Cup against East Kilbride. They have only been

going for about six years. Is this the kind of Mac Ronny Deila would

want? There is another knock as well, with the fact Aberdeen won

today, so they have gone level on points at the top. That is another

thing that will play in the back of their minds. It won't affect them in

this game against East Kilbride. It should be how many they win by. That

isn't in no way offensive to East Kilbride, it isn't, but Celtic... It

is a minimum of three or four they should win by. That is partially

dependent on a couple of things, what sort of team Ronny Deila you

will put out. What sort of team will he put out? If it was me, the

strongest team you can put out there. If you put out a weak team

there isn't any hiding place. You better go out there and win this

game. Go and win the game first and then if you want to make a couple of

changes in the second half, that is absolutely fine. Do not take any

chances. Mad things can happen. We just watched Linlithgow play really

well. Do you think Ronnie Delia will not be resting too many first-team

players tomorrow? I don't think so. If you have won the last couple of

games you can do what you like, no pressure. But it is a must win game.

He has enough players in reserve and should be able to beat East Kilbride

but I don't think you will take any chances. If they are right on the

game, East Kilbride can make it difficult. I'm not saying they can

win, I think Celtic will win at a canter. Celtic under pressure but

East Kilbride had all the pressure in the last round when they played

Lothian Thistle. I was at the game and enjoyed it thoroughly fostered a

great goal here from Jack Smith early on in the match. This was

their big game, wasn't it? Yes, just to get to this round. It was a

fantastic achievement. The money they make from this game against

Celtic will be fabulous. A great day out for the East Kilbride fans.

Fabulous that the players to play against some of their heroes, but

they have to go into that game tomorrow, forget your heroes, you

have go and try and knock Celtic of their game. You have to take

advantage. You have the advantage of the surface, artificial surface.

East Kilbride will have levels of adrenaline they have never known

before. They have to get their faces in the Celtic players, put them in

their -- on the back foot. They will make it hard for Celtic. We can hear

from the East Kilbride chairman. We will hear what he thinks about my's

game. It is great. I think there is a whole excitement about the whole

town. That is all the topic is at the moment, Celtic and East

Kilbride. It will be a great day for everyone at the club. They feel like

superstars at the moment, living the dream. Is the chairman living the

dream? Very much so, fantastic. They are very much living the dream. The

epitome of the very tale -- fairy tale cup. Yes, they have done really

well to get this far. Can you imagine if you are an East Kilbride

player tonight, trying to get some sleep and forehand Chris Wright you

will be tossing and turning in your bed and trying to do all the right

things, eating everything right, trying to get yourself... If you

walk on that park tomorrow you can be 2-0 after a few minutes and it

can turn into a bit of a nightmare. I hope they really try hard to give

the best they are capable of. That is all they can do.

I think folks it's almost time for us to slip

Before we do we can all ruminate over these results:

The cup holders are safely through. A late goal for them in the match

against Motherwell. Rangers, Nick will have to do it all again in a

replay on Tuesday. Ross County through by virtue of a 4-2 win at

home. In the Premiership, just one game

today. The big one for Aberdeen, now level on points at the top.

Congratulations to them. One match in the championship, St Mirren

winning 1-0. Now here's something
