Good afternoon and welcome to the results show

:00:22.:00:23.

on the penultimate Saturday of the football league season.

:00:24.:00:25.

In a week that has seen the fate of Dundee United rubber stamped,

:00:26.:00:28.

today could also confirm the top flight team facing another

:00:29.:00:31.

two matches at the end of the season in the play-offs.

:00:32.:00:33.

Plenty to get through today with my guests,

:00:34.:00:35.

Let's kick things off with a big match that took place

:00:36.:00:39.

Craig's former team Hibernian looking to overturn a one-goal

:00:40.:00:43.

deficit against the in form Raith Rovers

:00:44.:00:45.

Falkirk in next week's Premiership Play-Off semi-final.

:00:46.:00:48.

Hibs ensured they would make progress at Raith's offence. The

:00:49.:01:04.

Fifers had taken a 1-0 lead in the first leg, but that was wiped out by

:01:05.:01:11.

McGinn. That came on eight minutes. Four minutes later salvage operation

:01:12.:01:16.

was complete as McGregor headed home. Rovers proved to be the real

:01:17.:01:22.

deal in recent times and they threatened on occasions. Hibs held

:01:23.:01:31.

on and set up a semi-final with Falkirk, whose manager Peter Houston

:01:32.:01:39.

was here. Ray McKinnon's next match might be as Dundee United boss. We

:01:40.:01:46.

will know more in the coming days. Well they didn't Hibs it as the

:01:47.:01:51.

phrase has been made? They stayed in the hunt. It was a difficult game.

:01:52.:01:58.

Decent crowd at Easter Road, you start quickly and get the goals and

:01:59.:02:02.

there was a couple of hairy moments, but the important thing for Hibs is

:02:03.:02:08.

they're through and two teams and two managers that don't seem to get

:02:09.:02:11.

on particularly well. Four close games this season. I think the

:02:12.:02:18.

play-off will be the same. The speculation over Ray McKinnon's

:02:19.:02:22.

future may rank up a notch now? Yes that is probably a good result for

:02:23.:02:30.

Dundee United's perspective. There is certainly about what league Raith

:02:31.:02:35.

will be in. I think it is inevitable that he will end up at Dundee

:02:36.:02:39.

United. It may have tempted him to stay at Raith if they had gone

:02:40.:02:43.

through to the Premiership. I imagine he will be the United

:02:44.:02:49.

manager within days. Now today's three o'clock kick offs and the

:02:50.:02:56.

interest at the bottom of the table. Kilmarnock know if they fail beat

:02:57.:03:05.

Partick Thistle they could be condemned to the play-offs. They're

:03:06.:03:11.

two down and stairing the play-offs in the face. Lawless and Doolan did

:03:12.:03:16.

the damage. It is not looking good for the home side. Looking bad for

:03:17.:03:20.

Kilmarnock. What fans of that side don't want to see is the Hamilton

:03:21.:03:25.

beating Dundee. John Barnes, what is happen something We have even

:03:26.:03:30.

minutes left and Hamilton lead 1-0. Scored in the eighth minute through

:03:31.:03:36.

Morrice with a neat touch and a turn. They thought they had gone 2-0

:03:37.:03:41.

up. Brophy had the ball in the net, but it was after a long discussion

:03:42.:03:45.

between the officials disallowed for offside. A nervy end, Accies though

:03:46.:03:54.

still in the driving seat 1-0. In the Premiership the race for fourth

:03:55.:03:59.

between Motherwell and St Johnstone. What is happening there? St

:04:00.:04:04.

Johnstone are winning the battle for fourth. Motherwell took the lead. A

:04:05.:04:11.

bad mistake from St Johnstone gifting Macdonald the goal. But St

:04:12.:04:17.

Johnstone came back with McLean getting the equaliser and then Danny

:04:18.:04:23.

Swanson made it 2-1. For the moment St Johnstone still have that 2-1

:04:24.:04:27.

advantage. The other match in the top half of the table is Heart

:04:28.:04:34.

against Ross County. Hearts have just scored just as you come to.

:04:35.:04:45.

Juanma has got the home fans off their seats. Putting his side 1-0 up

:04:46.:04:52.

against Ross County. Good timing. That is the Premiership as it

:04:53.:04:57.

stands. In the Championship, Livingston have a big task in the

:04:58.:05:02.

second leg of their semi-final play-off against Stranraer where

:05:03.:05:06.

they were thrashed 5-2 on Wednesday. Is the come back on? 78 minutes gone

:05:07.:05:13.

and the come back looked to be on for a large part of game. Livvy are

:05:14.:05:20.

winning 2-1. They were 2-0 up. But Stranraer have scored to make it 6-4

:05:21.:05:30.

on aggregate. White had given Livingston a 2-0 lead. But Paul

:05:31.:05:35.

Cairney with a brilliant dipping half-volley from 25 yards which went

:05:36.:05:42.

over the keeper as meant Stranraer have got that two goal lead again

:05:43.:05:46.

and they're looking OK with ten minutes left. The big story at the

:05:47.:05:54.

bottom of the Premiership. We have the Kilmarnock game on, are they

:05:55.:06:00.

right to be two down? Yes they have created little and Partick look the

:06:01.:06:05.

better team. Only four victory in front of their own fans. I watched

:06:06.:06:09.

them against Hamilton last week and different class, 4-0 win. Got to win

:06:10.:06:16.

touching distance, but it if they lose and Hamilton hold on, Killie

:06:17.:06:21.

will be in the play-offs. You saw them last week and it changed the

:06:22.:06:26.

perspective of many people of which team would finish there. But

:06:27.:06:30.

Hamilton with a nice win today. Yes, it looks like that. Take your hat

:06:31.:06:34.

off to them. They had a job to do and at the moment they're on course

:06:35.:06:40.

to do it. You know last week we saw them getting routed by Kilmarnock

:06:41.:06:44.

and you think maybe Kilmarnock have momentum, but those results look

:06:45.:06:47.

like spinning it. It has been a pretty hideous week for Dundee

:06:48.:06:52.

United, relegation at the hands of their neighbours led to the

:06:53.:06:59.

departure of manager Mixu Paatelainen. They put up a good show

:07:00.:07:10.

last night and the frustration for the fans was they weren't giving

:07:11.:07:16.

these performances well. Well yes, a lot of the players won't be playing

:07:17.:07:20.

for Dundee United next season. It was a chance to prove to other

:07:21.:07:23.

managers they have a future at the top level or in the Championship. So

:07:24.:07:28.

you could see Dundee United started so well and you go 3-0 ahead. Once

:07:29.:07:33.

it changed, they're not a side who are used to winning. They got

:07:34.:07:38.

nervous and allowed thistle back in. One player who will be there, Simon

:07:39.:07:47.

Murray, there was a lot of youngsters on the bench. Were you

:07:48.:07:54.

surprised to see some of the players starting who were told they won't be

:07:55.:07:58.

needed next season? Yes, it is difficult to know what they have to

:07:59.:08:03.

play for. There is only five players definitely staying at the club.

:08:04.:08:07.

Simon Murray is one. They have a few who have been told they won't get

:08:08.:08:12.

new deals and there is a rump of squad who have been told they can

:08:13.:08:17.

find new clubs. I think United had about 150 fans up there last night

:08:18.:08:20.

and hats off to those people, because that is your hard core when

:08:21.:08:26.

you go and you have already been relegated and watch your team up the

:08:27.:08:28.

road. We have got a goal, actually, at

:08:29.:08:37.

Hearts. Bring us up to date. Ross County

:08:38.:08:40.

have pulled themselves level with just a couple of minutes meaning.

:08:41.:08:45.

David Goodwillie was on hand to head in at the back post. Having waited

:08:46.:08:50.

for 84 minutes for anything like ago, we have had to Maccarone matter

:08:51.:08:54.

of a few minutes. 1-1. We will go back to what we were

:08:55.:09:01.

talking about, the vacant position at Tannadice. Is that the position

:09:02.:09:05.

that is one that manager coming in will relish, having to rebuild a

:09:06.:09:09.

team in a league below on a smaller budget, or is there a fear factor

:09:10.:09:18.

about it is my lots of managers would love to get back into the game

:09:19.:09:21.

with a club like Dundee United. Budget is a great thing. Lots of

:09:22.:09:24.

managers will be successful if they have enough money to bring in the

:09:25.:09:26.

red players. They cannot afford the wages they were spending in the

:09:27.:09:29.

Premiership. Maybe they need a manager like Ray McKinnon who knows

:09:30.:09:33.

the Championship and what is required, knows what can the player

:09:34.:09:37.

it will take to get out of there. It is a major rebuilding job. Gradually

:09:38.:09:45.

bringing in a team of your own. Gordon Young was in charge last

:09:46.:09:48.

night. He says he feels there is no reason why Dundee United cannot

:09:49.:09:50.

bounce back. Are you of the same opinion? They have problems but

:09:51.:09:55.

advantages in that division. If Hibs go up, they will be the biggest club

:09:56.:10:01.

in the division. Mixu Paatelainen lasted 204 days on the job. It shows

:10:02.:10:06.

that he was not the right appointment, but that they also have

:10:07.:10:11.

to get the man right this time. United should be strongly pushing

:10:12.:10:17.

for promotion this time next season. Dundee United know their fate. It

:10:18.:10:19.

looks like Kilmarnock might also know their fate. As things stand,

:10:20.:10:25.

they will be in the play-off spot. Is that a good thing to note with a

:10:26.:10:29.

couple of games left for the club, they can look towards the play-offs?

:10:30.:10:35.

Yes, you may play players know who have slight injuries and you would

:10:36.:10:40.

not want to lay them normally. In the last couple of games, they could

:10:41.:10:44.

save your bacon. Maybe rest couple of players, bring in young players.

:10:45.:10:50.

If it is Kilmarnock, all eyes will be on whoever they are going to play

:10:51.:10:55.

in the play-offs and making sure the players are sharp. We know it will

:10:56.:10:59.

be Hibernian against Falkirk in the semifinal and one of them will be in

:11:00.:11:04.

the play-off final. It is a cracking semifinal we have in store. Yes,

:11:05.:11:09.

these teams have played each other four times. It has been really

:11:10.:11:14.

close. There is a little bit of edge between the managers. Do not hold

:11:15.:11:19.

back. Hibs have also got the Scottish Cup final hanging over

:11:20.:11:23.

them. Their season could be tremendous or it could still fall

:11:24.:11:28.

apart. I really exciting end to the season. We will take a brief look at

:11:29.:11:32.

the top half of the season. Motherwell Anton Johnson both

:11:33.:11:38.

playing for fourth place. No European competition, but for two

:11:39.:11:41.

clubs, Motherwell last year in the play-offs, St Johnstone back in the

:11:42.:11:46.

top six, it is a great achievement. It is massive for both managers.

:11:47.:11:51.

Mark McGhee had a spell with no victories in six. They have flown

:11:52.:11:56.

up. It is six victories out of eight. St Johnstone do it

:11:57.:12:02.

year-on-year. It is the sixth half -- at the sixth time they have

:12:03.:12:06.

finished in the top half of the table. Tommy Wright is doing a great

:12:07.:12:11.

job. If St Johnstone can finish fourth again, what this season they

:12:12.:12:17.

have had. We do have a full-time, Kilmarnock against Partick Thistle.

:12:18.:12:22.

What is the final score. It links like the play-offs for Kilmarnock,

:12:23.:12:26.

Aled and place all but confirmed after a 2-0 defeat to Partick

:12:27.:12:30.

Thistle. They were not good enough this afternoon. Kilmarnock started

:12:31.:12:36.

well with Josh Magennis. An early cans. They should have been awarded

:12:37.:12:41.

a penalty when a Kris Boyd shot was handled in the box. Shortly after,

:12:42.:12:47.

Partick Thistle were ahead. Steven Lawless with a cracking low shot

:12:48.:12:52.

from 20 yards out. Kilmarnock Breust in the second half but they were

:12:53.:12:57.

punished. Kris Doolan burst through to make it two. The home side threw

:12:58.:13:01.

everything at Partick Thistle but it was not to be. Lee Clark and said

:13:02.:13:07.

they believe they can do it. They will need to take that belief into

:13:08.:13:10.

two massive game against either Hibs or Falkirk.

:13:11.:13:16.

Full-time at Kilmarnock. Let's go to John Barnes at Dundee to find out

:13:17.:13:22.

what is happening. It is still 0- one. Hamilton are

:13:23.:13:27.

leading. Two minutes of five have been added on. Dundee United are

:13:28.:13:32.

pressing for the equaliser and have just blasted one over the crossbar.

:13:33.:13:38.

They have gone close through Meggatt, and Rory Loy, the

:13:39.:13:42.

substitute, he is on for Dundee, with a low shot. It was saved by

:13:43.:13:47.

Michael McGovern. Kane Hemmings driving on in that looked destined

:13:48.:13:50.

for the top corner and Michael McGovern was there to tip it over.

:13:51.:13:55.

Earlier, women and they thought he had made it 2-0 for Hamilton but his

:13:56.:14:00.

effort was disallowed for offside. It took two minutes of the

:14:01.:14:04.

conversation between the referee and his assistant to roll it out. We

:14:05.:14:08.

have about two and a half minutes left.

:14:09.:14:11.

Kilmarnock supporters with their ears to their radios at Rugby Park

:14:12.:14:16.

to see of Dundee can pull back a leveller. It is not quite over for

:14:17.:14:21.

Kilmarnock yet. Dundee missed out on the top six with a defeat to

:14:22.:14:25.

Hamilton. Yes, Dundee looked like the quality team in the bottom half

:14:26.:14:30.

of the table. They will want to finish in seventh place. They wanted

:14:31.:14:34.

a victory today but it is not going that way. Hamilton were terrible

:14:35.:14:39.

last week. They did not have a good played against Kilmarnock. They have

:14:40.:14:43.

been a lot more like themselves today. Away from home, Hamilton have

:14:44.:14:47.

been better. They could just save their bacon. If they can see at the

:14:48.:14:52.

last couple of minutes, it is Premiership football again. Let's go

:14:53.:14:58.

to the Championship play-offs. Ayr United were playing Peterhead.

:14:59.:15:03.

Chick Young is at Somerset Park. Ayr United will be into the final and

:15:04.:15:06.

the party has started out soon -- at Somerset Park. 4-1 ahead from the

:15:07.:15:13.

first game at Peterhead in midweek. The increased their lead through

:15:14.:15:18.

Robbie Crawford, with a fine goal. He past it beyond Graeme Smith in

:15:19.:15:21.

the Peterhead goal. It was all over then. There was an equaliser within

:15:22.:15:28.

a few moments. Lleyton Macintosh with the cross. The ball team of the

:15:29.:15:31.

head of the outstanding Michael Donald. It went beyond Greg Fleming

:15:32.:15:38.

to put Peterhead level on the day. A goal in the second half, header from

:15:39.:15:43.

Nicky Devlin, beyond the goalkeeper, another simple mistake by Smith.

:15:44.:15:51.

That gave United a 2-1 victory. 6-2 ahead in the tie. They will probably

:15:52.:15:55.

face Stranraer on Wednesday, with the return at Somerset Park next

:15:56.:15:59.

Sunday afternoon. It should be a classic.

:16:00.:16:03.

There was a flurry of activity last time we went to hearts- Ross County.

:16:04.:16:09.

How did it finished? 1-1. A bad match came to life in the last few

:16:10.:16:14.

minutes. David Goodwillie cancelling out Juanma's goal. It looked like

:16:15.:16:21.

the Spaniard's straight from Prince Buaben's cross was going to give

:16:22.:16:26.

Hearts victory. But can they pulled level when Goodwillie had come on as

:16:27.:16:31.

a substitute. He headed in the cries from Martin Woods inside the six

:16:32.:16:35.

yard box. Both teams have won just once in their last seven games. The

:16:36.:16:40.

end of season of a tag was never more apt. At least a bit of

:16:41.:16:48.

excitement in the final few minutes. Hamilton victory will keep them in

:16:49.:16:53.

the Premiership. How did it finish a Dens Park?

:16:54.:16:58.

1-0 Hamilton. Hamilton secure their Premiership status for next season

:16:59.:17:01.

with this narrow victory, courtesy of a solitary goal from Carlton

:17:02.:17:08.

mollis in the eighth minute. -- Carlton Morris. It was a lovely

:17:09.:17:13.

touch and he blasted it low into the bottom of the net. It took Dundee

:17:14.:17:18.

and well to get into this game, a lacklustre start, maybe the

:17:19.:17:21.

exertions of the derby against United at the beginning of the week.

:17:22.:17:27.

Eventually they got into it and came close to an equaliser, Craig Wighton

:17:28.:17:30.

with a sole or unblocked on the line, then Kane Hemmings with a

:17:31.:17:35.

header. Nicky Robinson missed from six yards after it was set on a

:17:36.:17:39.

plate for him by Kane Hemmings. He missed wide of the target. In the

:17:40.:17:44.

second half, Eamon Bradley thought he had put Hamilton 2-0 in front

:17:45.:17:48.

with a low shot which beat Scott Bain. Eventually, after two minutes

:17:49.:17:53.

of discussion between the referee and his assistant and protest from

:17:54.:17:57.

the Dundee players, it was ruled out for side. Accies had a lovely effort

:17:58.:18:03.

with the Dougie Imrie diving header tipped over by Scott Bain. The came

:18:04.:18:09.

close to adding one late on through the substitute. They could not take

:18:10.:18:15.

the opportunity and they lived on their nerves as Meggatt, Rory Loy,

:18:16.:18:18.

and Kane Hemmings all went close for Dundee. They held out.

:18:19.:18:26.

1-0. Celebrations for Hamilton at Dundee. Who is celebrating at Fir

:18:27.:18:28.

Park? Jonathan Sutherland. Looking for a

:18:29.:18:35.

fourth placed finish in the Premiership. A comeback victory. I

:18:36.:18:41.

am watching the scenes as 200 stewards make sure there is no pitch

:18:42.:18:47.

invasion at Fir Park. Motherwell desperately keen to avoid such a

:18:48.:18:52.

scenario after last season's play-off match against Rangers.

:18:53.:18:56.

Motherwell started brilliantly. It was a slice of luck as Zander Clark

:18:57.:19:04.

power -- Zander Clark, the St Johnstone keeper, saved. The first

:19:05.:19:12.

time shot was buried into the corner of the net. Before half-time, David

:19:13.:19:17.

Wotherspoon with a cross to find Danny Swanson. He had space and time

:19:18.:19:22.

in the penalty area and can be slotted past Connor Ripley. Plenty

:19:23.:19:27.

of half an part in the second half, but not enough cutting edge from

:19:28.:19:31.

Motherwell in the end. St Johnstone showing the steely resolve the

:19:32.:19:33.

always seem to have under Tommy Wright. Fourth place looks like it

:19:34.:19:38.

will be there as this season. Thanks. There has been big drama

:19:39.:19:42.

between Livingston and Stranraer in the play-offs.

:19:43.:19:47.

Kenny Crawford. Unbelievable. Livingston are level. Last time they

:19:48.:19:54.

were trailing 6-4 on aggregate. It is no 6-6 on aggregate. Two goals in

:19:55.:20:00.

the space of a couple of short minutes, Danny Malone with a low

:20:01.:20:03.

drive into the bottom corner, and then Craik Al-Qaeda in the second

:20:04.:20:07.

minute of injury time. It was laid off to him for a free kick and he

:20:08.:20:14.

hated low into the bottom corner. The fans are going wild. It looked

:20:15.:20:17.

like Livingston would be relegated but this game looks like it will go

:20:18.:20:23.

to extra time. 3-3 on the day, 6-6 on aggregate.

:20:24.:20:27.

What is happening between Elgin City and Clyde?

:20:28.:20:32.

There is still time. It is 2-0 Clyde. Barry Ferguson's sider trying

:20:33.:20:40.

to take a step towards promotion. Jordan Kirkpatrick with the first

:20:41.:20:44.

goal. Lincoln with the goal that sealed it. Elgin were frustrated

:20:45.:20:52.

with just a few chances. The best fell to Stevie Ross. Clean on goal,

:20:53.:20:58.

but his powerful shot was brilliantly tipped away by John

:20:59.:21:02.

Gibson. The contest petered out for Elgin City after that. Scott Linton

:21:03.:21:08.

knocked the ball over the goalkeeper late on right on full-time.

:21:09.:21:16.

2-0, 5-1 aggregate. Who will Clyde face? It is either Cowdenbeath are

:21:17.:21:21.

Queen's Park? It will be Queen's Park. They have

:21:22.:21:25.

progressed to- one on aggregate, despite losing 1-0 at Central Park

:21:26.:21:31.

this afternoon. Greg spends's goal not enough to prevent Cowdenbeath

:21:32.:21:36.

being relegated, their second relegation in two years. Queen's

:21:37.:21:41.

Park progressed to face Clyde in the play-off final, the first leg at

:21:42.:21:45.

home. Chris Dougan's double in the first leg at Hampden Park Redding

:21:46.:21:51.

and have to take them through. He went off with the nastier licking

:21:52.:21:54.

hamstring injury midway through the first half. Manager Gus MacPherson

:21:55.:21:59.

was sent to the stands in the second half, complaining about the

:22:00.:22:03.

legitimacy of the corner awarded to Cowdenbeath leading up to the goal.

:22:04.:22:06.

He will not be worried about that now. He will be happy his side are

:22:07.:22:12.

through to the play-off final. What a comeback from Livingston. It

:22:13.:22:16.

looked like Stan Wright were finally going to get through the play-offs.

:22:17.:22:20.

Unbelievable. When they got the second half goal, you thought that

:22:21.:22:24.

was the end of Livingston, but they got two late goals. It is going to

:22:25.:22:30.

extra time. Norway goals in this. Livingston should not have lost the

:22:31.:22:35.

first leg as heavily as they did. What a match. Clyde against Queen's

:22:36.:22:41.

Park, that will be the League One play-off final. Gus MacPherson are

:22:42.:22:46.

Queen's Park, and Barry mixers and at Clyde. A couple of former Rangers

:22:47.:22:51.

players. Gus MacPherson has been in the game larder, -- longer, he is

:22:52.:22:59.

trained to go back to the top. Whoever wins will be well pleased.

:23:00.:23:05.

You will see two fired up teams in that game, if anybody knows the two

:23:06.:23:11.

managers. For anyone associated with Kilmarnock, they would rather have

:23:12.:23:15.

been nowhere near the play-offs. A big-time squirrelly clerk in his

:23:16.:23:20.

first taste of Scottish football. Yes, here's another manager who had

:23:21.:23:23.

begun to turn it around over the last three or four macro game. They

:23:24.:23:28.

had only lost one of the last four macro up until today. That is a sore

:23:29.:23:37.

one for them. They can take a breather and regroup for Hibernian

:23:38.:23:40.

or Falkirk. They do not have any momentum.

:23:41.:23:41.

It's time now for today's classified results.

:23:42.:26:24.

Leicester City get the trophy presented today in England.

:26:25.:26:48.

Newcastle United drop into the relegation zone after their draw

:26:49.:26:54.

with Aston Villa. Sunderland move a point above them with a game less

:26:55.:26:57.

played. Middlesbrough pip Brighton into the

:26:58.:27:16.

automatic promotion spot in the English Championship. We have known

:27:17.:27:24.

some time that the three at the bottom are relegated. Middlesbrough

:27:25.:27:30.

will return to the top flight of English football what inn what has

:27:31.:27:35.

been described as the most lucrative promotion. It was the promotion

:27:36.:27:40.

play-off with a twist. That was that Middlesbrough didn't have to win. A

:27:41.:27:46.

draw would do and so it proved. Aitor Karanka's decision to select

:27:47.:27:56.

Stuani raised eyebrows, but he scored the opening goal. Brighton

:27:57.:28:01.

needed to improve in the second and did with Stephens heading homement

:28:02.:28:07.

fresh anxiety around the Riverside. But when Stephens was given a

:28:08.:28:15.

straight red, the Pendulum swung back to the home side. For Boro a

:28:16.:28:21.

place in the Premier League, for Brighton the play-off lottery. That

:28:22.:28:25.

is the top of the Championship. Lots of interest at the bottom of the

:28:26.:28:31.

Premier League. Norwich against Manchester United was the lunchtime

:28:32.:28:35.

kick off. Norwich 0, Manchester United 1. Mata buried the winning

:28:36.:28:50.

goal to settle a nervy game. And it nudged Norwich nearer to the

:28:51.:28:54.

Championship. The home side simply didn't create enough against a

:28:55.:29:00.

superb United defence marshalled by Smalling. Memphis bent a late free

:29:01.:29:07.

kick wide. United did enough and Norwich are clinging to the

:29:08.:29:11.

slenderest of threads above the trap door. Aston Villa have been

:29:12.:29:18.

relegated, could Newcastle take advantage in their quest to avoid

:29:19.:29:26.

the drop? Has the pendulum swung the way of Sunderland? Newcastle have

:29:27.:29:30.

let a brilliant opportunity slip through their fingers with barely a

:29:31.:29:39.

blow landed. The Newcastle fans can barely believe it, the Aston Villa

:29:40.:29:44.

fans have been celebrated as if they were going up. They have been

:29:45.:29:47.

singing, you're going down with the the Villa. They may be right F

:29:48.:29:51.

Newcastle do go down, they only have themselves to blame. A huge chance

:29:52.:29:56.

for Sunderland to go above their local rivals. They hosted Chelsea.

:29:57.:30:03.

We are staying up shout the Sunderland fans. Sunderland out of

:30:04.:30:07.

the bottom three at the expense of their rivals Newcastle. Their first

:30:08.:30:12.

win here against Chelsea for 16 years. They did it the hard way with

:30:13.:30:17.

three well-taken goals after being 2-1 down. The first a stunning

:30:18.:30:23.

volley from Khazri. The equaliser from Borini at 2-2 and then Jermaine

:30:24.:30:29.

Defoe only needed half a yard of space and passed a beautiful shot

:30:30.:30:33.

into the corner for his 15th of the season. John Terry was send off late

:30:34.:30:39.

on for a high challenge, running at pace. That could be his last piece

:30:40.:30:44.

of action for Chelsea Football Club. The scenes here are of pure

:30:45.:30:49.

jubilation for Sunderland - might they have take an huge step towards

:30:50.:30:56.

Premier League survival. Once again very tight at the bottom and the two

:30:57.:31:02.

from the north-east in it. What a win for Sunderland. The great

:31:03.:31:08.

survivors, they seem to do it late in the season. A lot of draws. They

:31:09.:31:15.

win today massive with Newcastle's defeat and Norwich's defeat. Two

:31:16.:31:19.

games to go against Watford and Everton, if they win them, they're

:31:20.:31:23.

safe. For Newcastle that is a massive slip up. You look at the

:31:24.:31:28.

fixtures, guaranteed three points at Aston Villa and it would come down

:31:29.:31:31.

to the last game. That is one they could be kicking themselves for.

:31:32.:31:36.

That is horrific twist they don't beat's and Sunderland beat Chelsea.

:31:37.:31:42.

And people have been saying that Jermaine Defoe will make the

:31:43.:31:45.

difference for the three above Aston Villa. He could. Newcastle have to

:31:46.:31:50.

beat Spurs to have a chance. They have also played a game less and

:31:51.:31:53.

they know it could get more difficult for them. But at the other

:31:54.:31:58.

end, Leicester City, the fairy tale story, they will get their hands on

:31:59.:32:03.

that trophy. What a great story? It is incredible. It is a fairy tale

:32:04.:32:09.

for a team of journey men, put together pay manager who had a

:32:10.:32:14.

reputation and people thought all he would do is try and avoid relegation

:32:15.:32:23.

and it is one of these wonderful stories. We may not see it again for

:32:24.:32:28.

30 years. So everyone's enjoyed the underdogs winning the league and

:32:29.:32:32.

tonight the presentation of trophy will be sensational. Everyone has

:32:33.:32:37.

become a Leicester City fan. For you working in the game, what do you

:32:38.:32:41.

take from a story like this, Leicester being able to aschooefed

:32:42.:32:48.

what seemed -- achieved what seemed impossible. People will look at them

:32:49.:32:54.

and it is difficult, because Leicester are an exceptional side

:32:55.:32:57.

with terrific players that nobody maybe or the the media didn't

:32:58.:33:00.

recognise at the start of the season. So it has been an

:33:01.:33:05.

exceptional set of circumstances, but they give hope to underdogs.

:33:06.:33:13.

5,000-1 at the start of season. And club coming up will be Burnley and

:33:14.:33:18.

Middlesbrough winning that winner takes all match. ?170 million at the

:33:19.:33:23.

least that will be worth. It is phenomenal. Worst case scenario that

:33:24.:33:29.

kind of money, our top teams look at the pittance they get and cannot

:33:30.:33:33.

compete. The money in England is so huge. Spanish teams are complaining

:33:34.:33:40.

that it is too heavily weighted to the Premier League and the English

:33:41.:33:44.

teams now have to be reaching Champions League finals. That is the

:33:45.:33:49.

pressure on them. There is one more Premiership fixture this week and

:33:50.:33:53.

Celtic could officially be crowned champions tomorrow against the team

:33:54.:33:56.

that put up the biggest challenge to them. They need just a point against

:33:57.:34:03.

Aberdeen after a much-improved performance and a win against

:34:04.:34:07.

Hearts. It is a match that I think Aberdeen fans were looking at and

:34:08.:34:09.

thinking I want that to mean something. It will mean something.

:34:10.:34:13.

Not quite what Aberdeen fans wanted. Yes. The one saving grace is they're

:34:14.:34:21.

not having to do a guard of honour for Celtic. They have been spared

:34:22.:34:26.

that. But yes, in the head-to-heads, they have won the two home games

:34:27.:34:30.

against Celtic. But over the piece they haven't been able to live with

:34:31.:34:34.

Celtic. The depth of squad isn't there. And Celtic have been able to

:34:35.:34:42.

just build little unspectacular runs of half a dozen wins here or now

:34:43.:34:47.

they're eleven unbeaten. Aberdeen have not been able to really set the

:34:48.:34:51.

pace and live with Celtic over the piece. So tomorrow is their last

:34:52.:34:57.

thing tomorrow is avoid defeat if they can. You look at the

:34:58.:35:02.

celebrations here from last week and Celtic know the title is theirs.

:35:03.:35:07.

They just need to rubber stamp it and over the season, they're pretty

:35:08.:35:12.

good. But there has been all this outrage from the fans on the

:35:13.:35:17.

performances this season. Yes it is about where you set the bar.

:35:18.:35:21.

European campaign fail, knocked out of both cups. In the league, just

:35:22.:35:27.

the three defeats. They have won the most games, lost the fewest, scored

:35:28.:35:31.

the most, conceded the fewest. There is a lot of plusses for Celtic. You

:35:32.:35:36.

see them play, the way they did against Hearts, they're a quality

:35:37.:35:40.

side on their day. Had they played like that for the whole campaign,

:35:41.:35:46.

Ronnie Deila would still be in a job. How much does this new manager

:35:47.:35:53.

need to lift it? You have Rangers back, Aberdeen will be strong and

:35:54.:35:59.

Hearts. How big a job this for the new manager? Ronnie Deila said he

:36:00.:36:05.

thought next season would be close. I don't know. I think this Celtic

:36:06.:36:11.

squad has been underachieving, maybe a different manager will get a

:36:12.:36:16.

different response. I don't think the new manager will be shopping in

:36:17.:36:19.

a different market in terms of budget. He won't be bringing in five

:36:20.:36:26.

or six million pound player. Ers. So do they shop well and identify the

:36:27.:36:30.

right players to make the difference? There is still one game

:36:31.:36:35.

going on. It that is play-off between Livingston and Stranraer.

:36:36.:36:39.

What is happen something The full-time score was Livingston 4,

:36:40.:36:48.

Stranraer 1, that made it 6-6 on aggregate. The match isn't quite

:36:49.:36:54.

worth ?170 million but it is worth a lot to these two. Stranraer trying

:36:55.:36:59.

to get back up to the Championship, Livingston trying to stay there. For

:37:00.:37:04.

long periods of the second half they were staring at relegation and

:37:05.:37:10.

possibly part-time football. But at the moment, it is still all square.

:37:11.:37:16.

Just heading to the end of the first period of extra time. If it stays

:37:17.:37:25.

6-6 we will have penalties. Tension high there. But no tension at the

:37:26.:37:29.

moment at Easter Road, because they know that they have done the first

:37:30.:37:34.

part of their job. They're through to the semi-final and a game with

:37:35.:37:38.

Falkirk. Who do you think are favourites? We spoke about this

:37:39.:37:44.

earlier. We can't call it. I'm not sure about this no tension at Easter

:37:45.:37:50.

Road. I think Hibs are probably a stronger squad. Whether you would

:37:51.:37:54.

predict them to beat Falkirk over two games is a different question.

:37:55.:37:59.

Falkirk mentally have been so strong and looked unbeatable at home. Well

:38:00.:38:04.

you think Raith Rovers finished strong and Hibs had a great start

:38:05.:38:08.

and fell away. The one consistent has been Falkirk and they have

:38:09.:38:14.

cruised through, they're very difficult to beat and they have

:38:15.:38:19.

dealt with the loss of players. They will fancy their chances. The one

:38:20.:38:26.

defeat was at their home stadium with a debatable penalty. Very thin

:38:27.:38:31.

margins between the sides. It is one to look forward to and they both

:38:32.:38:35.

know big prize and a game with Kilmarnock and a chance to go back

:38:36.:38:40.

to the Premiership. That is the other big story, Kilmarnock are in

:38:41.:38:44.

the play-off and will finish the season in eleventh. Does Premiership

:38:45.:38:49.

experience count for anything in the play-offs? It is difficult to know,

:38:50.:38:55.

Hamilton and Hibs, people thought Hibs were about there, they won the

:38:56.:39:00.

first leg. It is difficult. It is about momentum and neither have it.

:39:01.:39:04.

To go back to Hibs game, the team that's finished second that has gone

:39:05.:39:09.

through to the final. So that would be an omen for Falkirk. If it was

:39:10.:39:16.

fall xishg, two plastic pitches, so we can't complain about the surface.

:39:17.:39:21.

Kilmarnock don't make the best use of theirs, because they don't win at

:39:22.:39:25.

home. Falkirk seem to be happy on that surface. But it would be

:39:26.:39:31.

difficult to split them. Is a pressure situation and lot of

:39:32.:39:34.

players playing for their living. Big games. That is all we have time

:39:35.:39:39.

for today, thank you to Michael and Craig. High lights of all the

:39:40.:39:46.

weekend's SPFL on Sportscene tomorrow at 10.30.

:39:47.:39:52.

From all of us here, it is goodbye for now.

:39:53.:40:27.

They don't make them like this any more. Look at that.

:40:28.:40:30.

Can I have a little rummage around in your rubbish? Yeah.

:40:31.:40:33.

How do you make money for nothing? I love that!

:40:34.:40:38.

The answer could be hiding in the 30 million tons of household waste

:40:39.:40:43.

we throw out every year. So heavy.

:40:44.:40:46.

They don't make them like this any more. Look at that.

:40:47.:40:48.

That's why entrepreneur Sarah Moore

:40:49.:40:51.

wants to get her hands on things before they hit the skip.

:40:52.:40:57.

I'm a passionate maker, buyer and user of old stuff

:40:58.:41:01.

and I've turned that passion into a money-making business.

:41:02.:41:04.

I make new stuff out of old stuff and I sell it for a profit.
