:00:15. > :00:19.If you enjoyed the council election results show yesterday -
:00:20. > :00:31.But you might like this too, and why not -
:00:32. > :00:33.many things will be revealed this afternoon.
:00:34. > :00:34.Including the latest in Celtic's quest for invincibility.
:00:35. > :00:36.The Premiership's relegation rumble and the final standings
:00:37. > :00:47.The human Enigma machines Michael Stewart and Pat Nevin will work out
:00:48. > :00:49.the permutations. So let's kick off with a look
:00:50. > :00:58.at the state of play. A very important win at lunchtime
:00:59. > :01:04.for Inverness Caledonian Thistle. We will hear about that shortly.
:01:05. > :01:15.Celtic, it says 3-1 but it has just gone 4-1.
:01:16. > :01:22.Lots to play for still in the Championship. It is 0- 04
:01:23. > :01:28.second-place Falkirk are weighed to Dumbarton. St Mirren need a point to
:01:29. > :01:52.make sure they avoid relegation play-off. Dundee United need to turn
:01:53. > :01:59.that into a winning. -- a win. Raith Rovers could be in the relegation
:02:00. > :02:00.play-off spot if that result continues and Ayr United
:02:01. > :02:05.automatically relegated. Time to get continues and Ayr United
:02:06. > :02:06.my breath back. Now the match at the Highlands watched Frost by Leah
:02:07. > :02:22.McLeod. The first half performance against
:02:23. > :02:28.Hamilton today is something that the fans here have seen precious little
:02:29. > :02:32.of this season. They led on ten by Brad Mackay. Fisher missed one of
:02:33. > :02:40.the chances of the season to double the lead. Tansey's penalty made it
:02:41. > :02:48.two before the break. At his word denied a clear penalty themselves.
:02:49. > :02:50.It was an error strewn second period with Redmond's goal coming too late
:02:51. > :03:01.in the day. That was Liam McLeod. We are about
:03:02. > :03:09.to hear from both managers. They spoke to our man Martin Dowden. A
:03:10. > :03:16.win, you said all you need is a win, probably deserved? Not probably,
:03:17. > :03:23.obviously. Created numerous chances and dominated the game. Strong in
:03:24. > :03:29.the air, strong in the tackle. Attacked really well and defended
:03:30. > :03:35.even better. Yet again, we don't get a decision. I am a big supporter of
:03:36. > :03:41.the referees, they have a difficult job to do but I cannot keep doing
:03:42. > :03:49.it. Every single week it seems to be decisions that go against us. The
:03:50. > :03:55.referee who said they apologised for making mistakes did the same again
:03:56. > :04:02.today. Don't get me wrong, the first half we did not help ourselves.
:04:03. > :04:12.There was a penalty. It gets frustrating. I think we'll start by
:04:13. > :04:17.Martin there. He is upset. Has he got grounds? Absolutely. That was
:04:18. > :04:23.absolutely a penalty, no doubt about it. The official hasn't seen that,
:04:24. > :04:26.it is a real shame. In the 55th minute was when it happened. The
:04:27. > :04:32.game finished 2-1 but who knows what would have happened then. In the
:04:33. > :04:35.overall game, they were second best. There was no doubt Inverness had a
:04:36. > :04:41.whole bunch of chances. They should have had a penalty kick. Would have
:04:42. > :04:48.been a sending-off. Usher wouldn't have been a sending-off, it would
:04:49. > :04:54.have been a penalty. Earlier on, should he have kept his own counsel?
:04:55. > :04:59.Does the pressure. It is when the results matter so much that the
:05:00. > :05:06.pressure is telling. Martin says he has been a big supporter of the
:05:07. > :05:08.referees but now the pressure is on. Ritchie Forum getting a bit
:05:09. > :05:15.garrulous saying not probably but obviously we are the better team?
:05:16. > :05:21.They had a whole bunch of chances in the first half. I think it is time
:05:22. > :05:30.for a wee bounce around the grounds. We will start at Rugby Park. It is
:05:31. > :05:42.all happening. Dundee one. Marcus Haver with the goal -- Marcus Haber.
:05:43. > :05:47.There was a header but in the second half, there was a cross, Marcus
:05:48. > :05:53.Haber with the header. It has given Dundee a vital lead here at Rugby
:05:54. > :05:54.Park. Dundee deserved to be in front. They may have gone in front
:05:55. > :06:01.Park. Dundee deserved to be in with Kevin Gomis' header. I have
:06:02. > :06:04.seen the video back and it does suggest the linesman got the
:06:05. > :06:10.decision right. Spare a thought for the other linesman. He was actually
:06:11. > :06:15.physically sick at one point in the first half. Not much sympathy shown
:06:16. > :06:20.by his referee colleague Craig Thompson who brandished the red
:06:21. > :06:26.card. It was all very amusing. We will talk about that later! To Fir
:06:27. > :06:30.Park, Motherwell against Ross County. Another tense one at the
:06:31. > :06:36.third of the table. Jane Lewis is there. Yes, Chris Routers has given
:06:37. > :06:41.third of the table. Jane Lewis is Ross County the lead after 72
:06:42. > :06:48.minutes. Craig Samson came out for the ball but Routis is scored. The
:06:49. > :06:53.second half has been far better fair than the first half. Nerves were
:06:54. > :06:57.getting the better of both sets of players in the opening 45 minutes.
:06:58. > :07:02.There was so much to play for but very little to talk about in the
:07:03. > :07:07.opening 45 minutes. Plenty to talk about now. The second half has been
:07:08. > :07:12.way better. Before Ross County scored, Motherwell looked the more
:07:13. > :07:21.likely to score. Elliott Freer enjoyed plenty of success. A free
:07:22. > :07:25.kick was really well saved. Ross County did have chances before they
:07:26. > :07:34.took the lead but moments ago Craig Curran had a chance to make it 2-0.
:07:35. > :07:41.This game has sparked into life. It is end to end stuff. Ross County are
:07:42. > :07:45.in the driving seat. It could be three very important points for Ross
:07:46. > :07:51.County. Thank you. The only match in the top six in the Premiership today
:07:52. > :07:55.is in the east end of Glasgow. Champions Celtic against fourth
:07:56. > :08:00.placed Saint Johnstone. St Johnstone were the last team to beat Celtic
:08:01. > :08:03.but they are not going to do it this afternoon. Celtic leading by four
:08:04. > :08:07.but they are not going to do it this goals to one. All the goals
:08:08. > :08:15.happening in the second half. Stephen Maclean levelled it up for
:08:16. > :08:21.Saints. Then a Dedryck Boyata header. Calum MacGregor with a
:08:22. > :08:29.lovely run and a terrific solo goal, only a minute after coming on as a
:08:30. > :08:35.substitute has made the scoreline so far 4-1. We dropped into the
:08:36. > :08:38.Championship. A dramatic tale from start's Park. Alan Forrest has just
:08:39. > :08:43.Championship. A dramatic tale from had a penalty saved by the
:08:44. > :08:49.substitute goalkeeper. Raith Rovers Connor Brennan came on after only
:08:50. > :08:55.two minutes. He saved it to make the score 1-1. It is a really dramatic
:08:56. > :09:00.game. It has swung either way. There have been mood swings all over.
:09:01. > :09:05.Raith Rovers lost their goalkeeper who was ordered off for a foul. Then
:09:06. > :09:09.they took the lead on 37 minutes after a really good goal by Johnny
:09:10. > :09:15.Court, his first of the season for Raith Rovers. Then they lost an
:09:16. > :09:21.equaliser. This time it was Ross Doherty for a united. It was low
:09:22. > :09:25.past the goalkeeper into the back of the net and Ayr United have just
:09:26. > :09:30.missed a penalty. 1-1 does not do either side any favours a specially
:09:31. > :09:34.with what is happening at Easter Road. At the moment, Ayr United
:09:35. > :09:45.would be relegated and Raith Rovers will be in the play-off. And at
:09:46. > :09:50.Easter Road, Brian MacLachlan is there. The first half is very
:09:51. > :09:56.uneventful. The home side took the lead into the box. Grant Holt with
:09:57. > :10:01.the touch. It possibly did come off the Saints defender Gary McKenzie.
:10:02. > :10:11.Holt was claiming the goal. Saint Mirren have come back into it and
:10:12. > :10:17.equalised just before the hour mark. Rory Loy and his right foot shot the
:10:18. > :10:25.ball into the back of the net. The Saints fans have been chancing we
:10:26. > :10:30.are staying up. What is that about not counting your chickens. One
:10:31. > :10:35.are staying up. What is that about thing is clear, the introduction of
:10:36. > :10:41.the play-offs has introduced an element of excitement. Excitement,
:10:42. > :10:44.drama, all sorts of incidents. I think everybody agrees that they
:10:45. > :10:49.have been a really good addition to the Scottish game, because you get
:10:50. > :10:53.games which are meaning things right until the end of the season which is
:10:54. > :11:01.a definite positive, no doubt about that. I think we will be back to the
:11:02. > :11:05.Premiership and we will start at the game Kilmarnock against Dundee that
:11:06. > :11:11.Jonathan is at. It is all too much for him. I was expecting him to say
:11:12. > :11:23.don't forget to tune in to see a linesman being sick and then getting
:11:24. > :11:30.a red card! That is a close one. Jonathan says there is other
:11:31. > :11:33.footage, we cannot see how it is possibly offside. To be fair,
:11:34. > :11:39.Dundee, I think they should have had three or four goals. Some teams to
:11:40. > :11:45.thing, have you practised finishing this week? They have not finished
:11:46. > :11:51.practising heading. They were not getting on target until Haber got a
:11:52. > :11:56.chance later on. Neil McCann that the miracle man, he has come in on
:11:57. > :12:01.the back of seven straight defeats. They are heading for a second win
:12:02. > :12:05.and they seem to have found that elusive momentum? There is no doubt
:12:06. > :12:07.that the performances have been a huge improvement as well. To go
:12:08. > :12:09.that the performances have been a a side which is clearly going to be
:12:10. > :12:19.so low and the void of any a side which is clearly going to be
:12:20. > :12:21.confidence to instil a game plan that the players will feel
:12:22. > :12:23.comfortable with, because last week they were impressive and they
:12:24. > :12:27.deserved their victory at Fir Park. Another away game at Rugby Park.
:12:28. > :12:32.They have got momentum behind them now, they have got a game plan that
:12:33. > :12:37.suits them. As Pat says it was a really good finish from Marcus
:12:38. > :12:41.Haber. Playing good football. That pitch, the amount of teams that go
:12:42. > :12:45.to that pitch and cannot play as one of the home side on it, they were
:12:46. > :12:55.creating loads of chances as well. They were a joy to watch. Lets move
:12:56. > :12:57.on to Motherwell and Ross County. Motherwell are the side with the
:12:58. > :13:00.worst home record in the division. Perhaps it is not as a prize that
:13:01. > :13:08.they are trailing to Ross County who have hit some form at the right
:13:09. > :13:22.time. I think they had a corners in the first few minutes. A draw is OK.
:13:23. > :13:38.Just playing on the break and Routis comes up and gets the goal. Schalke
:13:39. > :13:41.is not there and boys. He is a good player. They have had to come up
:13:42. > :13:47.with a game plan and at the moment it seems to be working for them.
:13:48. > :13:51.They will have taken huge confidence the Highland derby last week to go
:13:52. > :13:55.and annihilate your closest rivals like that, they will take huge
:13:56. > :13:59.confidence. They are a side who should be punching much higher up
:14:00. > :14:02.than they are at the moment. They should be in the top six. They have
:14:03. > :14:06.enough quality in their side and they will be disappointed that they
:14:07. > :14:15.are scrapping at the bottom. There is a match in the top six and it is
:14:16. > :14:17.Celtic cruising. There are 4-1 up against Saint Johnstone. They have
:14:18. > :14:24.still got a lot to play for. They have this points target. I think St
:14:25. > :14:30.Johnstone made a big mistake today, they equalised! A minute later,
:14:31. > :14:33.Celtic said enough of this, and they hammered it. It is the way they are
:14:34. > :14:38.playing this season as they have gone on. Particularly as soon as the
:14:39. > :14:41.Championship was won, they have relaxed and they have gone through
:14:42. > :14:45.the game and enjoyed it. They are a pleasure to watch if you like
:14:46. > :14:52.watching good football and goods goals being scored. Brendan Rodgers
:14:53. > :14:56.confirming to our man that Patrick Rogers will stay for the rest of the
:14:57. > :15:02.season, missing out on the under 20s World Cup and he is rewarded by
:15:03. > :15:09.scoring a couple of goals. He has come to form, he has done well in
:15:10. > :15:12.the last couple of weeks. He certainly deserves to maintain his.
:15:13. > :15:17.Position I wonder whether it is Celtic trying to get Patrick Roberts
:15:18. > :15:21.back into the team and convince them to stay next season, because the
:15:22. > :15:26.difficulty for Patrick Roberts is he has that huge price tag that City
:15:27. > :15:30.paid for him and whether Celtic would get value at the high-end of
:15:31. > :15:34.the market for him. Would he be a good addition to the squad to keep?
:15:35. > :15:40.Yes, but the price would have to be right. It is a tough one to try and
:15:41. > :15:45.balance out. We spoke about the play-offs and the virtues thereof.
:15:46. > :15:49.In the Championship, it is me pent-up for second spot. Falkirk
:15:50. > :15:56.holding onto that. They have to match Dundee United. Falkirk have
:15:57. > :16:03.just scored. It is looking good them. They miss out on the play-off
:16:04. > :16:06.fixtures. They ended up playing Kilmarnock last time and they were
:16:07. > :16:11.out of it. They don't want that to happen again. They have put so much
:16:12. > :16:14.in. It was Hibs before that. They are comfortable right now but that
:16:15. > :16:18.was a late goal there. They were getting pushed all the way through.
:16:19. > :16:25.There is only about six or seven minutes. Falkirk are quietly going
:16:26. > :16:31.about their business. They are under the radar. They will take second
:16:32. > :16:35.place and it is big for them, no doubt. I don't think it is just that
:16:36. > :16:40.there are those extra games, they have quite a small court of their
:16:41. > :16:45.squad and it is difficult to play so many games at that end of the season
:16:46. > :16:50.as well. If they have got themselves into second place into fewer games,
:16:51. > :16:56.it will definitely help the squad. The first round of play-offs, it is
:16:57. > :17:02.Mortimer and then the United. That may be an indication of how tight
:17:03. > :17:07.that will be. Morton have been on an absolutely terrible run, eight games
:17:08. > :17:12.without a win. But oddly enough, I have been involved in a few sets of
:17:13. > :17:18.play-offs in my career when I was playing and oddly enough, everything
:17:19. > :17:25.else goes out of your mind. Did you enjoy it, Pat? No, because we got
:17:26. > :17:31.beaten! The pressure was great. If you were a team a lower team, it is
:17:32. > :17:35.like you got a shock to nothing so you look forward to coming into
:17:36. > :17:42.that. They are stressful games to play stop the thing about Dundee
:17:43. > :17:50.United, I spoke to David McCammon, this is a rebuilding season for us
:17:51. > :17:57.so perhaps Falkirk punching above their weight. Should they have been
:17:58. > :18:01.contending for the title? I saw quite a bit of Dundee United at the
:18:02. > :18:05.start of the season and I thought they put together a really good
:18:06. > :18:11.squad. Maybe short of numbers but the quality was there. They started
:18:12. > :18:16.very well. I was expecting them to come back again but they were not.
:18:17. > :18:21.It has been inconsistent since then. They go into these play-offs with a
:18:22. > :18:25.second chance. They have got a second chance that they finished
:18:26. > :18:31.third and they got the chance to get themselves, one of the lower teams
:18:32. > :18:36.in. They have got another shot at getting promoted. That is
:18:37. > :18:39.psychologically another chance. We mentioned they were dead on their
:18:40. > :18:45.feet last season but they will have that experience? If you have been
:18:46. > :18:48.beaten before you think, oh my goodness, not again. Never forget
:18:49. > :18:52.about this league, we always talk about how hard it is to get out of
:18:53. > :18:59.when you have Rangers in there, hips and Hearts. You still have Dundee
:19:00. > :19:03.United and Morton. It is a tough League Two get outside Dundee
:19:04. > :19:09.United, if they manage by hook or by crook to get up, they have done a
:19:10. > :19:14.great job. The only league title that has not been determined is in
:19:15. > :19:22.League 2. It was going to be between Arbroath and Forfar. They had been
:19:23. > :19:34.leading for so long but the advantage is with Arbroath. They are
:19:35. > :19:45.1-1 away to sterling. It looks like Arbroath are going to edge it. It
:19:46. > :19:49.looks like it is at the bottom. Clyde who are ahead, they are
:19:50. > :19:57.getting pegged back right now. Cowdenbeath get a chance and this is
:19:58. > :20:09.going to the last moment as well. We can now join our League 2 expert Jim
:20:10. > :20:14.Spence. Jim, is it all completed? Yes, I am watching hundreds of fans
:20:15. > :20:26.on the park. Barring Americo, they have won the league. The draw should
:20:27. > :20:37.be enough. They squandered the chance to go up with Steven Doris.
:20:38. > :20:45.Then sterling now be in level -- Sterling Albion level. As time runs
:20:46. > :20:53.away and it is for - two, the last we heard it looked very much like
:20:54. > :21:01.Arbroath have wrapped up the League 2 title. The celebrations have
:21:02. > :21:06.begun. Barring miracles it is Arbroath who have won the League 2
:21:07. > :21:14.title. Hang onto your hats. We are heading back to the Championship.
:21:15. > :21:17.Charlie Mann has some dramatic news. A big moment of hope for Raith
:21:18. > :21:23.Charlie Mann has some dramatic news. Rovers fans. Declan McManus the
:21:24. > :21:31.scorer of the goal, his seventh of the season for Raith Rovers. There
:21:32. > :21:37.was McManus at the end. He knocked it past the goalkeeper to make it
:21:38. > :21:44.2-1. If Hibs can get a winner then Raith Rovers stay up. I feel a bit
:21:45. > :21:54.like the linesman at Rugby Park! Someone will have to show me a red
:21:55. > :22:02.card. Hold that thought. Motherwell Ross County is over. Yes, it is a
:22:03. > :22:07.sore one for Motherwell. An amazing scoreline for Ross County's point of
:22:08. > :22:11.view. Ross County have come out on top. Motherwell missed the
:22:12. > :22:17.opportunity to climb out of the relegation play-off place. The first
:22:18. > :22:24.half was really poor, I have to say. I think nerves and tension playing a
:22:25. > :22:30.part. There was not really any accuracy in the corner kicks. Better
:22:31. > :22:37.was required in the second half and both teams duly obliged. They
:22:38. > :22:44.pressed and they created, Lionel Ainsworth forcing a terrific save
:22:45. > :22:49.from Scott Fox. Then against the run of play, we see it so often that
:22:50. > :22:55.happens in this game of football, Chris Routis scored what could be a
:22:56. > :23:00.vital goal for Ross County. Russell Griffiths came in to the Motherwell
:23:01. > :23:09.line-up line up in place of Craig Samson. He didn't manage to finish
:23:10. > :23:13.off his effort. Motherwell kept on pressing, they kept on giving things
:23:14. > :23:19.are going this match. They didn't lie down after Ross County had taken
:23:20. > :23:26.the lead and there was a corner that came in there was cleared away from
:23:27. > :23:32.danger. From Ross County's point of view it would be a happy trip back
:23:33. > :23:40.up to the Highlands for them. A painful one at Celtic Park. Let's
:23:41. > :23:47.get the full-time report. A scintillating result for Celtic
:23:48. > :23:53.winning this 4-1. Alexander Clarke made some good saves. Patrick
:23:54. > :24:00.Roberts had them in front. Stephen McClane levelled things up. Dedryck
:24:01. > :24:01.Boyata made it 2-1 to Celtic with a header from a Patrick Roberts
:24:02. > :24:05.corner. Roberts got his second of header from a Patrick Roberts
:24:06. > :24:14.the afternoon to put Celtic 3-1 in front. Then on 71 minutes the
:24:15. > :24:21.scoring was wrapped up by Calum MacGregor. He was only there as a
:24:22. > :24:27.substitute for a matter of 60 seconds. A terrific solo goal made
:24:28. > :24:37.it 4-1 for Celtic. Saints suffer their first defeat in the last 12
:24:38. > :24:43.fixtures. Back to League 2 and I think Arbroath are the title winners
:24:44. > :24:48.there because Forfar have lost to Annan Athletic, Scott? Yes, and if
:24:49. > :24:53.you want to know how cruel football can be, ask a Forfar athletic
:24:54. > :24:58.supporter. They were top of the league until last Saturday but only
:24:59. > :25:01.to fall at the ultimate hurdle last week and spectacularly today against
:25:02. > :25:05.Annan Athletic. They made seven changes to keep their players fresh
:25:06. > :25:11.for a play-off on Wednesday which ironically now the first leg will be
:25:12. > :25:21.against Forfar athletic. They really self-destructed today as they were
:25:22. > :25:26.3-0 down in 40 minutes. Dreadful defending. The fightback started at
:25:27. > :25:40.41 minutes. Michael Travis managed to pull a goal back. Then O'Brien
:25:41. > :25:44.scored to make it 3-2. Aidan Smith broke away to score for an athletic.
:25:45. > :25:52.The Forfar athletic players looked utterly shattered at the end. We are
:25:53. > :26:00.Easter Road and Championship bound now for full-time. It has finished
:26:01. > :26:07.Hibernian one, St Mirren one. A scoreline that the champions will
:26:08. > :26:17.enjoy but so will the visiting fans. Saint Mirren required a point to
:26:18. > :26:20.stay in the league. They went behind but a gold is before the hour line
:26:21. > :26:24.gave them hope and the scoreline from Kirkcaldy did not matter
:26:25. > :26:35.because Saints got the point that they needed to stay in the
:26:36. > :26:44.Championship. It finished 1-1. For Kirk hoping to be promoted into the
:26:45. > :26:54.Premiership. It finished Falkirk one, Dumbarton zero. Two good
:26:55. > :27:00.efforts from Stirling and Thompson. The second half produced more of the
:27:01. > :27:10.same but failing to carve out any chances. Set pieces were looking the
:27:11. > :27:19.best option. With five minutes remaining, at the front post to
:27:20. > :27:25.cement second spot. Gets go back to the Premiership and we can hear now
:27:26. > :27:31.from Jonathan Sutherland at Rugby Park where Kilmarnock were playing
:27:32. > :27:37.Dundee. It is finished, an zero, Dundee one. It is two wins on the
:27:38. > :27:47.trot for new Dundee manager on the road. Marcus Haber with the
:27:48. > :27:51.second-half goal. A header powered past Freddie Woodman. Haber making
:27:52. > :27:58.up for a couple of misses in the first half. The assistant referee
:27:59. > :28:02.had a flag up for offside and one of the assistant referees had to be
:28:03. > :28:07.physically sick during the match. The game was a really that bad.
:28:08. > :28:13.Hilariously the referee showed his colleague the red card. This is a
:28:14. > :28:19.huge three points for Dundee. Since the vocal mana, they created lots of
:28:20. > :28:22.chances. They pressed for an equaliser but found the Dundee
:28:23. > :28:29.keeper Scott Bain in inspired form. The mix at the bottom of the table
:28:30. > :28:37.gets very interesting indeed. Still lots to play for at the bottom. Not
:28:38. > :28:46.so in the Championship. Charlie Mann can tell us what happened when Raith
:28:47. > :28:50.ravers and Ayr United net. Disappointment for both sides here.
:28:51. > :28:53.Raith ravers got the win they needed but not the results they needed
:28:54. > :29:00.elsewhere today because with that draw between Hibs and Saint Mirren
:29:01. > :29:04.they will play for a place in the championships while Ayr United was
:29:05. > :29:12.relegated. It was a roller-coaster afternoon for the home side. The
:29:13. > :29:17.goalkeeper was ordered off for a bad foul on Craig Meer. Johnny caught
:29:18. > :29:23.scoring his first goal of the season. There was a spell where
:29:24. > :29:28.Hibernian were winning when Range Rovers was looking good but then it
:29:29. > :29:37.all went downhill from there. After 70 minutes Ross Doherty equalised.
:29:38. > :29:43.Then a United had a penalty. -- Ayr United. The effort was saved. Then
:29:44. > :29:48.Declan McManus, his seventh goal of the season did give Range Rovers the
:29:49. > :29:51.victory. But they must save their Championship place through the
:29:52. > :29:56.play-offs and it will be against Brechin. On the subject of
:29:57. > :30:05.play-offs, oh, we will not go there, we will keep our powder dry for now.
:30:06. > :30:12.Let's just reflect on the incredible excitement of the battle... What are
:30:13. > :30:19.you laughing at? You are exhausted, you are drained! What I was going to
:30:20. > :30:23.say is it shows how much these things can change in an absolute
:30:24. > :30:35.heartbeat and it has left Range Rovers heartbroken. You are joyous.
:30:36. > :30:41.I'm being objective. There are ten men and you are winning a game and
:30:42. > :30:46.you go up devastated. So much going on in that game. This has been a
:30:47. > :30:55.great day. At the end of the day, how close they all work will stop --
:30:56. > :31:03.how close they all were. There is not much to look forward to for
:31:04. > :31:08.Raith Rovers. So many emotional swinging roundabout there, it is
:31:09. > :31:12.unbelievable. Highs and lows. The Premiership is passed talking about
:31:13. > :31:18.the games. I think the Championship at the bottom was very tense. I
:31:19. > :31:22.don't know if you would sitting -- I don't know if it is because you were
:31:23. > :31:26.sitting so close! Raith ravers have to pick themselves up will stop they
:31:27. > :31:32.are in the play-offs but they have got a chance. To go from getting
:31:33. > :31:36.battered last week to winning this game, getting a goalkeeper sent off
:31:37. > :31:39.after two minutes, they have got a chance but they have to
:31:40. > :31:49.psychologically get themselves in the right frame of mind.
:31:50. > :31:59.Now let's see who could be promoted. East Kilbride and Kenny Crawford is
:32:00. > :32:10.there. He will tell us what happened? I'm sitting on a nice
:32:11. > :32:18.chair at the side of the pitch in the sun. It finished 2-1. A 4-3
:32:19. > :32:26.victory for East Kilbride. They will go-go through in the play-off to see
:32:27. > :32:35.who gets the place in League Two. Whether They got off to a great
:32:36. > :32:41.start. Winter mrased into the net after good work inside the box. The
:32:42. > :32:46.Portuguese striker got a goal of his own. He was set up by Strachan on
:32:47. > :32:49.the edge of the box. Curled it in wonderfully and it touched the
:32:50. > :32:55.underside of the bar as it went down into the net to make it look nicer.
:32:56. > :33:03.East Kilbride were in control. They managed the game. It wasn't received
:33:04. > :33:09.East Kilbride were in control. They there. Was a bizarre own-goal by
:33:10. > :33:18.David Procter. He played at the heart of the defence now. He gave
:33:19. > :33:22.Buckie a shout before half-time. Buckie went down to 10 men. Copeland
:33:23. > :33:28.got his second red card before the break. 2-1 at half-time. The
:33:29. > :33:34.second-half was a non event. It was played out, apart from one red card,
:33:35. > :33:45.another for Buckie, for Chris Angus. Second yell for diving in the box.
:33:46. > :33:51.Finished 2-1. 4-3 to East Kilbride. They play Cowdenbreatn next
:33:52. > :33:56.Saturday. East Kilbride, a club with great ambitions. Only Celtic put
:33:57. > :34:01.them out? They should be confident in themselves and their ability to
:34:02. > :34:09.do it. Torture for a team who have been in the lesion for a long time
:34:10. > :34:13.they might fall out of it you need the pyramid system. If they save
:34:14. > :34:19.their skins by winning that tie, fair enough. East Kilbride,
:34:20. > :34:28.considering the size of the town. It deserves it. I was waiting for that.
:34:29. > :34:35.A club with a great tradition. Both we aric Rangers or Clyde could have
:34:36. > :34:42.been in that win today. Berwick got the win. Clyde were holding their
:34:43. > :34:50.breath to the end as well. Cowdenbreath couldn't do enough.
:34:51. > :34:57.Rugby Park, on to his face. A sore one. Managers are banging on about -
:34:58. > :35:01.Fine margins. If that was in the back of the net. In Italy, the
:35:02. > :35:08.bounce of the ball it can come down to that at this time of season. If
:35:09. > :35:12.you are a Killie fine you will think, we played well, lots of
:35:13. > :35:17.chances. Motherwell battered them at the end of the game. They could not
:35:18. > :35:19.get the ball in the net. Loads of chances. Motherwell have a potent
:35:20. > :35:25.get the ball in the net. Loads of strike force their problems - I
:35:26. > :35:28.don't think it was bad finishing. It was good goalkeeping and good
:35:29. > :35:32.defending in front of them. Bodies in front of the ball. It was a
:35:33. > :35:37.Clasie end to the season. We will do everything we can to hold on to
:35:38. > :35:42.those points. Again, I wasn't saying anything against Motherwell. Plenty
:35:43. > :35:55.more chat from you gentlemen later. We will do the classified round-up.
:35:56. > :35:59.We start, hopefully going to start, once I looked at the view out of the
:36:00. > :38:24.window there, with the Ladbrokes These are the final standings in the
:38:25. > :39:30.regular season, as they say in America!
:39:31. > :40:06.Let's look at the English Premier League:
:40:07. > :40:12.Time for further details of the goings on in England today. We will
:40:13. > :40:18.start at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City were in action
:40:19. > :40:23.against crystal pal lads. A truly dominant and professional way for
:40:24. > :40:28.Manchester City to return to winning ways. Silva, on his return from
:40:29. > :40:32.injury, scored his 50th goal for City to give them the lead. The only
:40:33. > :40:38.question that remained unanswered at half-time was that only City had
:40:39. > :40:43.scored once, apart from a Benteke header. The keeper had nothing to do
:40:44. > :40:48.all day. They doubled their advantage, Vincent Kompany with a
:40:49. > :40:55.vine finish from De Bruyne's lay-off. Then De Bruyne and
:40:56. > :41:07.Sterling, fourth successive season he has hit double figures. Otamendi
:41:08. > :41:11.with his score to make it 5-0. Manchester City have taken another
:41:12. > :41:18.step towards Champions League football for the seventh successive
:41:19. > :41:23.season. 5-0. Hull City, we can find out how they faired at home to
:41:24. > :41:31.already relegated Sunderland from Damian Johnson. 2-0 Sunderland it
:41:32. > :41:36.finished first home defeat for Hull City under De Silva. A diving header
:41:37. > :41:39.from Billy Jones and a bundled late effort from Jermain Defoe, his first
:41:40. > :41:45.in ten, secured Sunderland a rare victory. Their second in 18 Premier
:41:46. > :41:51.League games in fact. Hull had a missed chances. A handball against
:41:52. > :41:55.O'Shea waved away by the referee. Pickford denied Clucas. Sunderland
:41:56. > :42:02.win it, Hull deep in trouble. Over to you Swansea City. Not quite. Let
:42:03. > :42:06.us hand over to Burnley v West Brom. Eilidh Barbour has this report.
:42:07. > :42:10.There's a little bit more work for Burnley to do this season. You would
:42:11. > :42:14.have to say they are safe, 40 points. What an achievement that is.
:42:15. > :42:18.They would have liked to have done it in style in front of their home
:42:19. > :42:26.fans. It looked like they would when Vokes tapped in. A lack of
:42:27. > :42:29.concentration Rondon scored West Brom's first goal in nine hours of
:42:30. > :42:34.football. They went ahead through Dawson. Vokes had a header-his own
:42:35. > :42:39.to ensure consecutive seasons in the Premier League for Burnley for the
:42:40. > :42:45.first time in their history. It finished Burnley 2, West Brom 2.
:42:46. > :42:52.Burnley hitting the 40 point mark. Leicester City started on 40, they
:42:53. > :42:55.finished on 43. Ivan Gaskell. Leicester may have waved goodbye to
:42:56. > :43:00.the Premier League trophy this display shows they are alive and
:43:01. > :43:09.kicking on. Vibrant, they had a wobbling Watford on the back foot
:43:10. > :43:17.from early on here. Twice striking the woodwork before Ndidi scored.
:43:18. > :43:23.Mahrez scored. Cleverley had Schmeichel stretching. Watford
:43:24. > :43:29.belatedly stirred. Deeney should have scored but steered wide. A
:43:30. > :43:37.fifth away defeat on the row for Watford. Leicester City wrapped it
:43:38. > :43:50.up with another goal and iced the Leicester cake. Now Bournemouth v
:43:51. > :43:55.Stoke City. They came from behind twice today. A game of two
:43:56. > :44:01.own-goals. Moussa on his debut headed in a corner. Kran selled out
:44:02. > :44:06.by Stanislas. Diouf turned in a cross to put Stoke back in front.
:44:07. > :44:18.Bournemouth levelled again when a Gradel header found its way in via
:44:19. > :44:23.Shawcross. Bournemouth got the point they needed. Let us talk about what
:44:24. > :44:29.happened in England today. The wider repercussions of it. Last night's
:44:30. > :44:35.result, which I'm sure you were standing on the chairs cheering,
:44:36. > :44:40.Pat. A win for West Ham? I stopped grinning five minutes before we came
:44:41. > :44:44.on air. Shame for Tottenham. One of the headlines said Spurs had blown
:44:45. > :44:48.it. That's unfair thichl were on a phenomenal run. Going for ten league
:44:49. > :44:51.runs in a row. To do that in the Premier League would have been
:44:52. > :44:55.incredible. A tough run. Someone who would be keen to see Chelsea winning
:44:56. > :45:05.the Could have it league. Wrapped up before we are back here next
:45:06. > :45:09.Saturday? They have it two games before Spurs play again. Chelsea the
:45:10. > :45:12.way they kept it going, they are not a brilliant side, they are
:45:13. > :45:15.well-organised with a couple of absolute quality players in that
:45:16. > :45:19.team. It's the manager as much as anything else who has done a great
:45:20. > :45:24.job for Manchester City, they them. Are going to get into the Champions
:45:25. > :45:30.League, but is that a disappointing season? I don't think will is any
:45:31. > :45:34.doubt when Pep Guardiola came in the expectations would have been huge.
:45:35. > :45:39.When you look at the squad there is huge, there is a huge overhaul
:45:40. > :45:43.needed within the squad. But, you know, there is no doubt the funds
:45:44. > :45:47.will be there to do that and Pep Guardiola will have the remit to do
:45:48. > :45:52.whatever he wants, I would expect. The interesting thing was hearing
:45:53. > :45:55.that is the 17th in the row they have been in the Champions League. I
:45:56. > :46:03.wouldn't have thought it was Assombalonga long as that. Had the
:46:04. > :46:08.megabucks? Been up there but not done a great deal in it. I was
:46:09. > :46:12.surprised it was seven years. They never made a huge impact on the
:46:13. > :46:15.Champions League. No doubt that ending fourth is not good enough for
:46:16. > :46:19.Manchester City in terms of the money they are spending and the
:46:20. > :46:30.calibre of personnel they have at the club. Back to the Scottish
:46:31. > :46:37.Premiership. We will hear from the Dundee interim manager after his
:46:38. > :46:42.side's second win on the spin. Two wins out of two, you are making it
:46:43. > :46:47.look easy? No, the players make the results look easy when you look at
:46:48. > :46:53.them at the end of the day. They give everything. I'm proud of them.
:46:54. > :46:58.I'm happy with them. We ask them to carry out a gameplan. Sometimes that
:46:59. > :47:03.gameplan can be manipulated by the opposition and they ask questions of
:47:04. > :47:08.you. We trust our shape and what we've been working on and hard to
:47:09. > :47:14.beat and set targets of winning games. I'm happy for them. Last week
:47:15. > :47:18.I said I know what it's like to be on a losing run when the confidence
:47:19. > :47:26.is low. They deserve it. You can't ask any more than 100% and everybody
:47:27. > :47:34.gave it today. Kilmarnock threw everything at us towards the end. I
:47:35. > :47:38.trusted them. I'm a wee bit hoarse. We had so many chances and missed so
:47:39. > :47:43.many chances. It takes one to get three points witch are a happy team.
:47:44. > :47:49.They can enjoy this weekend because they deserve it again. You created a
:47:50. > :47:53.lot of chances? Absolutely. A lot was thrown at you towards the end of
:47:54. > :47:57.the match? Absolutely. It's natural to get deep. You are trusting what
:47:58. > :48:00.you have been working on, throwing balls in the box. Trusting that. The
:48:01. > :48:05.trust has been repaid. They stood up to a man, the goalkeeper, he's
:48:06. > :48:08.top-class. Came up with a save that I was standing behind, Kris Boyd
:48:09. > :48:11.into the corner. Thought it was in. He got down to it. He's another part
:48:12. > :48:15.of the team. He is expect expected to make the saves because he heys a
:48:16. > :48:20.top keeper. We made fantastic chances today. We worked on it. We
:48:21. > :48:24.knew it would be different. We will be different against Ross County. We
:48:25. > :48:33.knew it would be a tough game under Lee. It will be a tough game because
:48:34. > :48:39.he's organised. They are hard to beat. They gave full effort, which
:48:40. > :48:44.they did. You said it was about winning the five games. That is the
:48:45. > :48:50.objective... Tailing off with another probing question. I will
:48:51. > :48:55.continue with my questions. He is loving life. Is he making the
:48:56. > :49:01.mistake by telling the players to enjoy the weekend. It's Scotland
:49:02. > :49:11.after all? I think that you know you get to this stage of the season it's
:49:12. > :49:14.a short period of time. Neil is nt is wanting to make sure they are not
:49:15. > :49:17.a short period of time. Neil is nt low in confidence. Up to this
:49:18. > :49:21.weekend, it's a short period of time he is dealing with them. Come next
:49:22. > :49:25.season if he's still involved we will wait and see whether he says
:49:26. > :49:31.the same thing. The question marks over a point and a rookie manager
:49:32. > :49:36.this late in the season. They seem to have evaporated, Pat? Not a
:49:37. > :49:42.complete rookie. He was assistant manager for a period of time. He is
:49:43. > :49:47.almost under selling his team, talking about the defending as well.
:49:48. > :49:50.They played attractive football. He knows he made a load of goals as
:49:51. > :49:54.well. It was interesting the questions at the end. He summed it
:49:55. > :49:59.upper effectually how the game had gone. He had seen it how it is. He
:50:00. > :50:10.is not wrapped up in it. If he works hard he could become a pundit. Very
:50:11. > :50:15.good. Let's head back to Rugby Park. We can hear from Lee McCulloch. You
:50:16. > :50:20.threw everything at Dundee towards the final stages of that match. It
:50:21. > :50:22.wasn't your day in the end, was it? No, it wasn't. After two or three
:50:23. > :50:28.minutes I turned to Peter and I said minutes I turned to Peter and I said
:50:29. > :50:32.- we're off it today. For the full 90 minute, even the last 20, it
:50:33. > :50:38.looked as if we finished the game out. We were not near the standards
:50:39. > :50:43.we had in the last six, seven weeks. The boys have been told that. They
:50:44. > :50:47.know that themselves anyway. Really, really disappointed with the full #
:50:48. > :50:53.0 minutes never mind the first 60, 70. No quality at all. In that 90
:50:54. > :50:57.minute Can you put spell. Your finger on it. You are always looking
:50:58. > :51:02.for form from your side when you don't get it you are looking are fo
:51:03. > :51:04.the reasons why? Yes. I think, to answer your question, no, not at the
:51:05. > :51:11.moment. Training has been OK this week. It's not been as good as the
:51:12. > :51:17.previous weeks, maybe a little bit of complacency coming in there. A
:51:18. > :51:21.squad with such a young mentality. So we need to speak about it. We
:51:22. > :51:25.need to build on it and, hopefully, we will make it better for next week
:51:26. > :51:34.glchlt do you feel let down by the players. You were rewarding the
:51:35. > :51:39.starting XI? You played the same starting XI today. No, I am
:51:40. > :51:44.anticipate not let down. I'm angry at the outcome of the march. The
:51:45. > :51:47.players haven't let me down they have been magnificent for the last
:51:48. > :51:51.six, seven weeks. Bad day at the office we will put it down as. We
:51:52. > :51:57.will go in on Monday morning and work hard. He is not telling his
:51:58. > :52:05.players to enjoy the weekend. Not being too hard on them. It's the
:52:06. > :52:08.pressure. He knew a draw today he is cruising, laughing. There
:52:09. > :52:14.problemibly isn't any danger. Six points away from the play-off spot.
:52:15. > :52:18.Nine points up for grabs. For me, Killie have enough. You look at the
:52:19. > :52:24.table now, I think County, Killie and Dundee are safe. It will between
:52:25. > :52:28.the bottom three. Dundee? I know. I think they are fine. You look at the
:52:29. > :52:34.transformation. They have two wins. The confidence is in there. What
:52:35. > :52:39.strikes me about Neil McCann and Lee McCulloch they are two on, honest,
:52:40. > :52:42.hard-working managers who tell the players strait straight. He will not
:52:43. > :52:48.tell them to enjoy the weekend. Lee will make sure they are working hard
:52:49. > :52:50.on Monday. We are moving on to tomorrow's matches now. You don't
:52:51. > :53:00.like that, do you? The jostling for Now, the jostling for position
:53:01. > :53:03.in the top half of the Premiership continues tomorrow -
:53:04. > :53:05.four of the top six in action. You can listen to events unfold
:53:06. > :53:08.in Sportsound on Radio Scotland. Two significant games,
:53:09. > :53:10.third placed Rangers are away While second placed
:53:11. > :53:13.Aberdeen are away to Hearts That's where Rangers opponents
:53:14. > :53:16.Partick Thistle found themselves last week and went home with a point
:53:17. > :53:22.and a feeling perhaps Perhaps a feeling of grievance. Not
:53:23. > :53:26.so you don't think? They would have felt disappointed. They were leading
:53:27. > :53:32.late on in the game. They were unfortunate not to get something. In
:53:33. > :53:39.terms of this, the penalty, I just think that in the last moment he
:53:40. > :53:47.turns and puts his arm - watch it here. He puts his elbow into it. I
:53:48. > :53:51.understand why it was given. It's incredibly harsh. To get sent off
:53:52. > :54:00.for it as well. Second booking. A real shame. I thought it was hard.
:54:01. > :54:05.The referee has to go by the rules of the book. To not get to the end.
:54:06. > :54:09.Whatever happens just now, Thistle have had a great season, simple as
:54:10. > :54:16.that. Hearts, I don't think you can say the same. Thistle got a point
:54:17. > :54:23.last weekend. Rangers, by contrast, possibly their worst result of the
:54:24. > :54:30.season, definitely. The hammering from Celtic. If you put the
:54:31. > :54:33.aggregate of the scores through. They are cruising further ahead
:54:34. > :54:37.Celtic and playing better and better and better. It doesn't seem to
:54:38. > :54:43.matter what team he sticks out there. He can make, two, three, four
:54:44. > :54:47.changes. Brendan Rodgers feels all of these players are good enough. He
:54:48. > :54:50.made them a better team. Are Rangers a better team? That is the big
:54:51. > :54:54.question. I watch them one week and think - you are a better team.
:54:55. > :54:58.Improved team. Something like that can happen. You kind of don't know
:54:59. > :55:10.what you will get with Rangers at the moment. They beat thistle 2-0 a
:55:11. > :55:14.couple of weeks ago, Rangers. Rangers will be favourites in the
:55:15. > :55:19.game. Going to Fir Hill will not be easy. I would expect Rangers to come
:55:20. > :55:23.out and edge it slightly in a tight contest. If Thistle were to get
:55:24. > :55:28.something, I wouldn't be massively surprised with that either. As Pat
:55:29. > :55:32.says, Thistle had a great season, since the turn of the year. If they
:55:33. > :55:36.were to get something it wouldn't be a huge shock either. Aberdeen had a
:55:37. > :55:42.decent season thef are away to Hearts. Hearts were in action last
:55:43. > :55:47.weekend. We saw them earlier. Didn't go well for Aberdeen last weekend.
:55:48. > :55:51.Lost at home to St Johnstone. Second defeat in the last three? They go
:55:52. > :55:53.through runs that are negative. I noticed that about Aberdeen. This
:55:54. > :55:59.through runs that are negative. I was harsh on them this one. They
:56:00. > :56:04.were 1-0 down but they were pushing. Done on the break there. They had a
:56:05. > :56:07.decent season. Cup Final and their second, against a Celtic team that
:56:08. > :56:11.are miles better than any other team that has been around for quite a
:56:12. > :56:16.while in Scottish football, I think it's more than a decent season. It's
:56:17. > :56:20.a super season. Derek makes them better every year. A blip at the
:56:21. > :56:27.moment. Don't expect it to last How do you long. Expect it to go
:56:28. > :56:35.tomorrow? Ah... Tough one, tough one. Aberdeen. You pointed out
:56:36. > :56:41.Aberdeen? I know I do. At Tynecastle with it being the last game - Last
:56:42. > :56:43.game under the Main Stand. There will be emotions surrounding it. A
:56:44. > :56:48.draw. Pat? Just about sneak it, will be emotions surrounding it. A
:56:49. > :56:51.Aberdeen, maybe just at the end of the game. OK. That's pretty much it
:56:52. > :56:56.for today. Before we go, I will treat
:56:57. > :56:58.you or punish you, depending There are highlights
:56:59. > :58:24.of all the weekend's Premiership action tomorrow at 6.00pm
