It is unbelievable. It is a spectacular opening goal in the

:00:14.:00:22.

Derby. The shop is an absolute beauty. Is this a bit of history? It

:00:23.:00:29.

is. What a finish! That is it. It has been one of the most

:00:30.:00:39.

significant weekends An action-packed edition

:00:40.:00:44.

of Sportscene tonight as we arrive Championship and Petrofac

:00:45.:00:48.

final highlights as well. Plus Stuart McCall at the big screen

:00:49.:00:51.

and Michael Stewart is here as well. We start with a Friday night

:00:52.:01:00.

match at Tynecastle. Second versus third,

:01:01.:01:08.

Aberdeen aiming to narrow the gap on Celtic to two points with

:01:09.:01:10.

the champions playing on Saturday. Hearts still aiming to pip Aberdeen

:01:11.:01:12.

for second place. Despite the much publicised bout

:01:13.:01:23.

that swept through the squad, there is just one change from last

:01:24.:01:30.

weekend. Aberdeen will feel they must win to keep their title

:01:31.:01:34.

challenge on track. Willo Flood drops to the bench and is replaced

:01:35.:01:43.

by 20-year-old Craig Stone. It is an anticipated match with third hosting

:01:44.:01:52.

second. Sam Nicholson within a whisker of giving Hearts and early

:01:53.:01:57.

lead. Aberdeen's defence did not deal particularly well with the

:01:58.:01:59.

danger, but survived. Four minutes in and it is a dream

:02:00.:02:13.

start for the Dons, Simon Church with his sixth goal of the season.

:02:14.:02:19.

What a precious one it could turn out to be in the context of the

:02:20.:02:24.

season. Nice football from Aberdeen. Church is onside. No problem with

:02:25.:02:30.

the finish either. The Dons go ahead at Tynecastle. A really good spell

:02:31.:02:39.

from Aberdeen. A great chance for Niall McGinn. He knows it should be

:02:40.:02:47.

2-0. It was a great delivery, not a great finish. Two things for Robbie

:02:48.:02:52.

Neilson to change. Augustyn's header just could not

:02:53.:03:07.

quite squeeze over the line. Well dealt with by Aberdeen. Scott Brown

:03:08.:03:12.

was underneath it. Really good pressure from Hearts.

:03:13.:03:34.

And Juanma equalises! Hearts are level after 33 minutes. Aberdeen

:03:35.:03:43.

will not be happy with the space allowed. Juanma was onside. It was

:03:44.:03:52.

not great goalkeeping. That is one apiece.

:03:53.:04:02.

Aberdeen are struggling to get the ball out of their own area at the

:04:03.:04:06.

moment. Everyone has switched off, but the

:04:07.:04:14.

ball is still in play. Another great chance for Niall

:04:15.:04:47.

McGinn goes begging. He could have had a couple. That header should be

:04:48.:04:52.

finding the back of the net. Taylor getting into a bit of trouble

:04:53.:05:04.

there. He might require a bit of treatment.

:05:05.:05:18.

A great cross and a great header and a great goal for Hearts as they come

:05:19.:05:27.

from behind to take a 2-1 lead. It is an ecstatic Tynecastle. Aberdeen

:05:28.:05:34.

will be furious with themselves. Poor defending, but nothing wrong

:05:35.:05:39.

with their header from Juanma. It was a brilliant cross from Jamie

:05:40.:05:40.

Walker. Again Niall McGinn was there.

:05:41.:05:53.

another night he could have had a hat-trick.

:05:54.:05:59.

Hearts should be able to see this out in the dying seconds. There goes

:06:00.:06:07.

the final whistle. Derek McInnis is deflated and defeated. His title bid

:06:08.:06:14.

is damaged now by a 2-1 defeat at Tynecastle. It is a huge result. If

:06:15.:06:21.

we did not win, we would be looking to try and consolidate third place

:06:22.:06:25.

and now we can try and catch up Aberdeen who are having a great

:06:26.:06:31.

season. They will be trying to stop Celtic, so they will still be going

:06:32.:06:35.

hard. Where does this leave things in terms of the title? It is gone

:06:36.:06:41.

for us now I would imagine. We have got to make sure we get back to

:06:42.:06:47.

basics and C of the threat from Hearts first and foremost. But in

:06:48.:06:54.

terms of five games to go, at this stage of the season Celtic can only

:06:55.:07:00.

throw it away. I would not expect them to know.

:07:01.:07:10.

Where did it go so wrong for Aberdeen after a great start? It was

:07:11.:07:17.

a great chance and there were a glut of chances for Aberdeen and they

:07:18.:07:19.

ended up paying the price for missing them. Hearts came back into

:07:20.:07:27.

the game and scored the two goals. Aberdeen will be disappointed

:07:28.:07:29.

because they were the architects of their own downfall. It was a great

:07:30.:07:36.

result for Hearts, but Aberdeen the architects of their own downfall. Is

:07:37.:07:42.

that a fair comment? The team will be frustrated in the manner that

:07:43.:07:48.

they came. We will look at the two goals conceded. The first one was a

:07:49.:07:58.

build-up from Hearts. Aberdeen are in good positions and their back

:07:59.:08:03.

four are nice and compact. The midfield four are in good positions

:08:04.:08:08.

and Kenny Maclean, playing Number Ten, came back to give a hand. But

:08:09.:08:17.

credit has to go to Hearts. Augustyn takes responsibility and comes into

:08:18.:08:20.

the middle of the park. They need a goal. But when a centre-half comes

:08:21.:08:26.

in it is normally the job of the Number Ten to be the one who

:08:27.:08:32.

confronts him and goes over and stopped him in is forward roll

:08:33.:08:35.

coming forward. That does not happen. We know what he can do from

:08:36.:08:40.

there. From that you are thinking, happen. We know what he can do from

:08:41.:08:49.

the keeper should be OK. Last season he fired a cracker in. But look at

:08:50.:08:56.

Juanma and the two defenders. He gets his just rewards. It is a

:08:57.:09:02.

goalkeeping error as well. A couple of mistakes, but take nothing away

:09:03.:09:10.

from Hearts. At this point Tynecastle is rocking. It certainly

:09:11.:09:17.

was. Hearts got the impetus after that goal and they carried it

:09:18.:09:19.

was. Hearts got the impetus after through into the second half. In

:09:20.:09:23.

terms of the second goal, how disappointed should Aberdeen be?

:09:24.:09:29.

Hugely. It was a bit unfortunate as well. Aberdeen want to win the game.

:09:30.:09:37.

Maclean does not see what is happening with Taylor. He sees Logan

:09:38.:09:44.

making a run. But from then on that is when the problem starts. Hires go

:09:45.:09:51.

over and take the situation by the hand. It was not so much the free

:09:52.:09:56.

kick, it was well intentioned, it is the reaction after it. He drifts

:09:57.:10:01.

into the midfield area, but he has got to be more aware that the guys

:10:02.:10:06.

at the back are exposed. If he holds his position and waits for his

:10:07.:10:09.

team-mates to get back into position, they would not be so

:10:10.:10:15.

exposed. She only went over to start stretching Taylor when the ball was

:10:16.:10:22.

in play. Leave his man and get back in position and help the guys at the

:10:23.:10:25.

back and they were exposed and they paid the price. Taylor normally

:10:26.:10:32.

would be there on the right hand side covering over there. Graeme

:10:33.:10:37.

Shinni would be on the cover there and they would be happy with that.

:10:38.:10:40.

But because of this unfortunate and they would be happy with that.

:10:41.:10:45.

situation, it has not been the case. There is a big hole in behind with

:10:46.:10:54.

Willo Flood. It is a good ball into the space. Reynolds has to decide

:10:55.:11:00.

whether to try and cut it out and leave Juanma, which he does. I have

:11:01.:11:07.

whether to try and cut it out and got to say Walker and Juanma

:11:08.:11:10.

constructed that go together and in the second half they were a good

:11:11.:11:11.

the second half they were a good combination.

:11:12.:11:15.

So, to Fir Park for the Saturday lunchtime game.

:11:16.:11:17.

Celtic with the chance to stretch their lead

:11:18.:11:19.

over Aberdeen to a point if they could beat Motherwell.

:11:20.:11:21.

Mark McGhee can send out the same 11 as they chase a sixth win in a row.

:11:22.:11:34.

For Motherwell team that looked like it would be battling the drop a few

:11:35.:11:47.

weeks back. Charlie Mulgrew is in an Kazim-Richards is replacing Gary

:11:48.:11:48.

Mackay-Steven. Griffiths! We know he is capable

:11:49.:12:13.

from that kind of distance. Motherwell inflicted Celtic's only

:12:14.:12:16.

home league defeat on them in December. They have won a penalty.

:12:17.:12:25.

After Aberdeen's defeat on Friday evening, Celtic know they can be

:12:26.:12:28.

eight clear by the close of business today. Griffiths has put it past!

:12:29.:12:38.

The mini goal drought continues for Leigh Griffiths.

:12:39.:12:54.

He has got options right and left. He chooses Griffiths. And it is

:12:55.:13:05.

Conor Ripley again. Motherwell were sliced open on the counterattack.

:13:06.:13:09.

Conor Ripley is having a good game. That was Kazim-Richards. And it is

:13:10.:13:28.

Conor Ripley again. A fine afternoon the on loan Middlesbrough keeper is

:13:29.:13:33.

having. Celtic have been scintillating in this first half.

:13:34.:13:41.

Kieran Tierney is the latest to sting the palms of Conor Ripley.

:13:42.:13:47.

Quite how Celtic are not ahead is anyone's guess. That was Roberts.

:13:48.:13:50.

Ripley is a busy boy. They have done everything but score

:13:51.:14:03.

in the first half, the champions. Griffiths! The resistance finally

:14:04.:14:14.

fades right on half-time. Leigh Griffiths scoring goal number

:14:15.:14:35.

36 of the season just before the interval. Had not scored in three

:14:36.:14:46.

Celtic games coming into this. McDonald puts it in, but it is

:14:47.:14:51.

offside. Motherwell's best passing move of the game.

:14:52.:15:00.

It is so tight. He has the better of Tierney. McDonald! The former Celtic

:15:01.:15:12.

striker has levelled proceedings in a game Motherwell scarcely deserved

:15:13.:15:22.

to be levelling. Just the one point would do Motherwell with regards to

:15:23.:15:28.

top six. Griffiths! It has gone through Ripley. From hero to

:15:29.:15:39.

villain. Corner Ripley lets that trundle squirms through them.

:15:40.:15:50.

Griffiths is on a hat-trick. He has pickpocketed Keane and Kennedy.

:15:51.:15:55.

Ripley redeems himself for now at least. Celtic march towards five in

:15:56.:16:02.

a row. A few words exchanged at the end.

:16:03.:16:07.

What happened? At the beginning of the game I felt as if when I went to

:16:08.:16:14.

shake hands with the Celtic staff they blanked me. I have spoken to

:16:15.:16:20.

Ronnie and it was a 100% misunderstanding on my part and I

:16:21.:16:25.

accept totally that he did not see me. That is fine. We have shook

:16:26.:16:30.

hands and it is fine. The most important thing is that three

:16:31.:16:35.

points. We had to hang on. The first half we had plenty of chances and

:16:36.:16:39.

did not take them and missed a penalty and the keeper had good

:16:40.:16:45.

saves. At 1-0 it is always uncomfortable. We showed great

:16:46.:16:48.

character to get the second goal back and see the game out. It was

:16:49.:16:55.

good to see that handshake gate was eventually resolved. Is the title

:16:56.:17:02.

race is over? I think so. You heard John Kennedy saying the most

:17:03.:17:07.

important thing was getting that three points and he is spot on.

:17:08.:17:12.

After Aberdeen's defeat, the title is theirs? Do you agree? Yes. I

:17:13.:17:22.

think you can concede it. Mark McGhee called it shocking to

:17:23.:17:26.

disallow the Scott McDonald effort. Was he offside? I do not know. It

:17:27.:17:33.

was even plastic move by Motherwell with fantastic passing. Initially it

:17:34.:17:41.

looked a couple of yards offside. It is not a shocking decision. No. It

:17:42.:17:50.

is frustrating from Mark. I still do not know if he is offside or

:17:51.:17:54.

on-site. It is definitely a difficult decision for the linesman.

:17:55.:17:59.

It is marginal. Part of his body is in front of the ball so he is

:18:00.:18:03.

offside. I can understand why the linesman David because by the time

:18:04.:18:11.

the ball got to Scott McDonald's feat he is in the six yard box.

:18:12.:18:18.

Celtic had loads of chances. Griffiths described that as an

:18:19.:18:21.

Magpie angry performance from himself. He missed a penalty and

:18:22.:18:30.

then came good. He did. This shows the resilience and his performance.

:18:31.:18:34.

Frustrated he had not got on the scoresheet earlier. This one nagging

:18:35.:18:41.

the most. Craig Gordon will be taking penalties. You see the

:18:42.:18:47.

determination to get up. That is a sprint from inside the box almost to

:18:48.:18:52.

the box at the other end. He works the goalkeeper on most occasions. To

:18:53.:18:56.

be disappointed coming away from the game when he has got two goals...

:18:57.:19:06.

This shows what he is about. That is really composed finish to guide it

:19:07.:19:10.

into the back of the net. He has nothing to be angry about with two

:19:11.:19:15.

goals. It shows you how things can change in the game. Ripley did

:19:16.:19:21.

great, the keeper, and then right at the end it goes through his legs. A

:19:22.:19:28.

painful moment for Ripley. Motherwell still with a real chance

:19:29.:19:33.

of getting into Europe. They certainly have. A couple of months

:19:34.:19:39.

ago they were second bottom. I believe they could be top six

:19:40.:19:42.

because there might have goal scorers. They have given themselves

:19:43.:19:50.

such a fantastic chance. Celtic have to win the double for fourth place

:19:51.:19:55.

and it is between Ross County, St Johnstone and Motherwell.

:19:56.:19:57.

So the title race looks like it is reaching its conclusion

:19:58.:20:00.

Next weekend should be very tasty indeed.

:20:01.:20:12.

Two mouthwatering Scottish Cup semifinal showdowns.

:20:13.:20:28.

The first is live on Sportscene, 12:10pm Saturday lunchtime,

:20:29.:20:30.

Live coverage on Sportsound on BBC Radio Scotland.

:20:31.:20:42.

We'll have all the Old Firm highlights on Sunday night's

:20:43.:20:44.

Sportscene as always, 10:30pm on BBC One.

:20:45.:20:48.

Dundee started the day in that much coveted sixth-place spot.

:20:49.:20:54.

They went to Hamilton needing a win to be guaranteed to keep it.

:20:55.:20:57.

Dropping points could open the trap door to the bottom

:20:58.:21:00.

Hamilton need to find Victor Ruiz and be better than at Aberdeen last

:21:01.:21:19.

week. Morris is back up front. A youngster comes into their Dundee

:21:20.:21:24.

side -- Wighton. Morris with support from Doherty.

:21:25.:21:46.

Good saves by Scott Bain. It has been a sluggish start by Dundee.

:21:47.:21:55.

Gifting it straight back to the hosts. Cause himself! That as they a

:21:56.:22:03.

touch and it is another Hamilton corner. Plenty behind it. Hamilton

:22:04.:22:12.

have not won here since mid-September, a shocking run. The

:22:13.:22:22.

BMA's bowl beat Motherwell that day. Crawford! A massive goal for

:22:23.:22:33.

Hamilton. They look to stave off the threat of the relegation zone.

:22:34.:22:43.

Crawford's first goal since January, the beginning of January, and it

:22:44.:22:45.

could be priceless. That could be a the beginning of January, and it

:22:46.:22:51.

penalty. It is. John B ten points to the spot. Tena! 2-0. What a first

:22:52.:23:09.

half for Martin Canning's team. A great penalty from the centre-half.

:23:10.:23:19.

Dundee's top six hawks are hanging by a thread. A draw might not be

:23:20.:23:28.

enough. They are a long way behind in Lanarkshire. That is Scott Bain.

:23:29.:23:37.

The recent Scotland squad call-up. A great following down from the City

:23:38.:23:42.

of discovery but it has been nothing but pain and anguish for the Dundee

:23:43.:23:45.

supporters. Hamilton continuing to but pain and anguish for the Dundee

:23:46.:23:54.

pound the defence. It has been all Hamilton. One of their best

:23:55.:24:04.

performances of the season. He has scored from free kicks from that

:24:05.:24:10.

kind of distance before, Tena, who got Hamilton's second today.

:24:11.:24:17.

kind of distance before, Tena, who Harkins. No handball. Brilliant!

:24:18.:24:26.

Great goal from the half-time substitute. Hemmings with the ball

:24:27.:24:33.

but it was all about the clever finish from Harkins. Dundee are back

:24:34.:24:44.

in this. Harkins brought down by McKinnon. As usual he was not happy

:24:45.:24:52.

about it. Dundee have a good opportunity to swing this in. Plenty

:24:53.:25:02.

up for it. Headed down by Conrad. The government is equal to it.

:25:03.:25:07.

Dundee's top six hopes look like they lie in tatters. First half we

:25:08.:25:14.

were excellent. We should have taken more opportunities. The second half

:25:15.:25:19.

they came back into the game. We showed spirit to make sure we hung

:25:20.:25:23.

on which is something that has been lacking of late but we are back to

:25:24.:25:29.

winning at home. I do not then be performed especially the first 45

:25:30.:25:32.

minutes, compared to the standards we have said. We have to regroup and

:25:33.:25:40.

tried to finish as high as possible. You can see the disappointment on

:25:41.:25:48.

Paul Hartley's says. For Dundee, drawing too many games. Is that the

:25:49.:25:55.

problem? No doubt. They have drawn I think 14 and won nine, similar to

:25:56.:25:59.

Hamilton who are in the relegation play-off spot. They have not managed

:26:00.:26:06.

to convert enough of those draws into wins. Inconsistency. They are

:26:07.:26:11.

capable of challenging at the top but have not been able to get as

:26:12.:26:18.

many wins as they needed to get in the top six. A massive win for

:26:19.:26:25.

Hamilton. A much-needed Holm win for Hamilton. They have not done that in

:26:26.:26:32.

a while. He has done well in the latter part of the season. He is a

:26:33.:26:40.

physical presence, a good talent. He has been used as a substitute but he

:26:41.:26:46.

has forced himself into the side. Through his tenacity and endeavour

:26:47.:26:52.

he wins a penalty kick. I think it is September the last time Hamilton

:26:53.:26:57.

won. A massive boost for them. Hamilton have a fight on their hands

:26:58.:27:02.

but a great time for them to get a victory. Their first home win since

:27:03.:27:05.

September, much-needed. The Dundee result meant that a win

:27:06.:27:10.

for either Ross County or Partick Thistle would see them

:27:11.:27:12.

into the top half. Indeed a draw would be

:27:13.:27:15.

good enough for Thistle. Four changes for Ross County after

:27:16.:27:32.

losing 5-2 at Dundee. Four changes to the Thistle team which beat

:27:33.:27:42.

Dundee United in midweek. Already a special season for the Dingwall team

:27:43.:27:49.

Corinth, with the top six finish adding to the glorious League Cup

:27:50.:27:59.

success. Scoring inside 14 minutes. He has developed the happy habit of

:28:00.:28:04.

scoring important goals for Ross County and this is another one.

:28:05.:28:09.

Partick Thistle backed off and let him have the chance and he snapped

:28:10.:28:18.

up the opportunity. Schalk chasing and getting the better of Seaborn.

:28:19.:28:26.

Gary Miller at the back made the important blocks Partick Thistle who

:28:27.:28:29.

did not fancy going two goals behind. Calum Best charging forward,

:28:30.:28:41.

having signed a new deal with the soul. -- Partick Thistle. Good

:28:42.:28:51.

effort. The Australian midfielder on target but a solid save from Scott

:28:52.:29:02.

Fox, the former Thistle keeper. Again, Schalk the target. Very

:29:03.:29:07.

easily picked out. That was mightily close to a second goal. He was

:29:08.:29:14.

struggling to be fit to play today because of illness, Schalk, but he

:29:15.:29:22.

is having a big impact in the game. A good header. Scott Fox returning

:29:23.:29:30.

to the county team after a long injury absence and makes a good save

:29:31.:29:32.

to deny him. That was a great chance for Callum

:29:33.:29:55.

Booth, but outcomes Scott Fox to make the save.

:29:56.:30:19.

Schalk was threatening again and then Scully was solidly behind the

:30:20.:30:26.

shot this time. Schalk has put in some shift here for Ross County who

:30:27.:30:28.

remain 1-0 in front. Chris Doolin!. The shot in the end

:30:29.:30:49.

was pretty much straight at the goalkeeper and it was scrambled

:30:50.:30:55.

away. That was a chance for Partick Thistle to level things up. It was

:30:56.:31:01.

an absolute crap out there and Partick Thistle put us under a lot

:31:02.:31:07.

of pressure, but I thought we defended stoutly. We were throwing

:31:08.:31:16.

bodies on the line. It summed up typically by Alex Schalk who was ill

:31:17.:31:21.

this week and I spoke to him this morning and he said he would

:31:22.:31:24.

struggle to play, but I told him he was playing and I said, give us a

:31:25.:31:28.

good hour and he gave us more than that. That is the biggest

:31:29.:31:33.

disappointment. We had a chance to do it. It is hard when you put the

:31:34.:31:45.

lads up, they have done well so far. Ross County get the League Cup and

:31:46.:31:49.

the top six as well which is one of their main objectives. As Jim

:31:50.:31:54.

McIntyre said, he took Schalk off his sick bed and he said he did not

:31:55.:32:00.

have to play, he had to play and he made all the difference. He has

:32:01.:32:06.

impressed since he came into Ross County and yesterday was another top

:32:07.:32:10.

performance and he picked up another goal. He has scored eight goals

:32:11.:32:14.

since the turn of the year which is a great return. It is not just his

:32:15.:32:21.

goals, it is his all-round play, he links the goals up very well. I am

:32:22.:32:27.

pretty sure he will be doing that in the split fixtures as well. Ross

:32:28.:32:31.

County have got a lot to play for in the split as well. And Schalk has

:32:32.:32:38.

made such a difference, but with Jim McIntyre he has got to have the

:32:39.:32:42.

credentials for a Manager of the Year. He has got a trophy and a top

:32:43.:32:48.

six finish. A strong contender. It depends who picks up the cut at the

:32:49.:32:52.

end of the season. At the beginning of the season he recruited really

:32:53.:32:59.

well and he has done a terrific job. And Partick Thistle and up in the

:33:00.:33:01.

well and he has done a terrific job. bottom six. At the beginning of the

:33:02.:33:06.

season they were at the bottom of the league. They could not score

:33:07.:33:11.

many goals. They beat United during the week. They had a couple of

:33:12.:33:16.

opportunities but did not take them. They had the chance to be top six,

:33:17.:33:22.

but overall a decent season. Have they exceeded expectations? I do not

:33:23.:33:29.

know if it is exceeding expectations, but because they have

:33:30.:33:33.

got themselves into that position, they will be disappointed, but a lot

:33:34.:33:37.

Kilmarnock are still without a win under new manager Lee Clark.

:33:38.:33:42.

He welcomed the visit of his former Newcastle team-mate Tommy Wright

:33:43.:33:45.

whose St Johnstone side were looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat

:33:46.:33:48.

December the 5th was the last time Kris Boyd had scored a goal. After

:33:49.:34:03.

20 minutes of this game that almost change. Boyd was denied by the post.

:34:04.:34:12.

The move gave Kilmarnock a lift. Just a couple of minutes later there

:34:13.:34:19.

was a yellow card for Darnell Fisher. It could have been worse.

:34:20.:34:26.

And it soon was for Saints. A huge moment for Kris Boyd as he fired

:34:27.:34:35.

Kilmarnock into a 1-0 lead. A sense of relief at Rugby Park. Could St

:34:36.:34:43.

Johnstone respond? Danny Swanson set up Ian McRae, Jamie McDonald with a

:34:44.:34:50.

one-handed save. After a Kris Boyd header, Kilmarnock almost made it

:34:51.:34:55.

2-0. But the effort was ruled out for offside. Just before half-time

:34:56.:35:03.

Josh Magennis was denied a goal. Not the scoreline Tommy Wright was

:35:04.:35:08.

looking for. It was about to get worse for the Perth side. Josh

:35:09.:35:16.

Magennis would supply the cross. And there was Callum Higginbotham with

:35:17.:35:24.

the header. Less than sound St Johnstone defending. The Saints did

:35:25.:35:33.

have chances, Liam Craig perhaps a touch unfortunate seeing his headed

:35:34.:35:42.

effort ruled out for pushing. The Bulgarian defender was then denied

:35:43.:35:46.

by the ever excellent Jamie McDonald. And St Johnstone would

:35:47.:35:55.

carve out another big chance which fell to the foot of Chris Miller.

:35:56.:36:01.

Again McDonald to the rescue for Kilmarnock. At just the right time

:36:02.:36:10.

Kilmarnock finally figured out that route to good this season and

:36:11.:36:17.

McKenzie was felled in the box. It gave Kris Boyd the chance to wrap up

:36:18.:36:23.

all three points. A vital first win for the Kilmarnock manager. I said

:36:24.:36:30.

all along we have played well enough, we have not had the luck, we

:36:31.:36:38.

have created opportunities. Today we scored three and we could have

:36:39.:36:47.

scored six or seven. We have dealt with everything that has been heard

:36:48.:36:52.

at us and we have got top six again and we will recover and hopefully go

:36:53.:36:55.

in the split and the fourth place is and we will recover and hopefully go

:36:56.:36:59.

very much up for grabs for the three teams in fourth, fifth and sixth.

:37:00.:37:05.

Despite the defeat they are still in the top six once again, but it is

:37:06.:37:09.

that enigma, Kris Boyd with only three goals and suddenly he gets two

:37:10.:37:15.

goals and a first win for manager Lee Clark. It is a good time for

:37:16.:37:21.

Kris Boyd to come good and Lee Clark will be delighted. These clips

:37:22.:37:27.

highlight what he is all about. He wants to get into areas that will

:37:28.:37:31.

hurt the opposition and drive forward and commit defenders. He

:37:32.:37:38.

drives an in between the posts and that is where a lot of strikers get

:37:39.:37:43.

tap ins. He has not done enough of that this season for Kilmarnock. But

:37:44.:37:48.

to get two goals and three points for his side is a vital time as

:37:49.:37:54.

well. You can see how delighted he is. He was wondering at 32 if he had

:37:55.:38:01.

run his race, but he has always got that instinct. He will be

:38:02.:38:06.

disappointed he has not played that much this season and has not scored

:38:07.:38:09.

so many goals. He was unfortunate much this season and has not scored

:38:10.:38:14.

not to have a hat-trick. He will be crucial because they are still in a

:38:15.:38:19.

precarious position, but it will do his confidence good and Kilmarnock

:38:20.:38:23.

as well. A tough couple of weeks for St Johnstone and you have to look at

:38:24.:38:26.

fourth place and the possibility of Europe as well. Mackay has been a

:38:27.:38:34.

big miss for them, but they have got as most chance as Motherwell and

:38:35.:38:40.

Ross County of the fourth. It is that to aim for. It is a good

:38:41.:38:47.

achievement for St Johnstone. They have lost O'Halloran and they are

:38:48.:38:52.

still in the top half of the table. Continually to end up in the top six

:38:53.:38:56.

year after year is a huge achievement for them.

:38:57.:38:58.

Dundee United had beaten St Johnstone last weekend.

:38:59.:39:00.

But they had then lost to Partick Thistle midweek.

:39:01.:39:02.

They started the weekend five points adrift at the bottom.

:39:03.:39:05.

Inverness Caley Thistle were the visitors at Tannadice.

:39:06.:39:07.

Before the game, a minute's applause in tribute to former Dundee United

:39:08.:39:10.

player Ian Britton and director Derek Robertson who recently

:39:11.:39:12.

Defeat at Partick Thistle in midweek dealt a blow to United's hopes of

:39:13.:39:31.

survival. Guy Demel almost started the rescue mission. But defending

:39:32.:39:36.

like this it is easy to see why United are rooted to the bottom,

:39:37.:39:40.

Miles Storey allowed a free run on goal. A striker perhaps disbelieving

:39:41.:39:46.

of the time and space he was afforded. Not to worry, moments

:39:47.:39:51.

later United would allow him another go. Ross Draper profiting from the

:39:52.:39:57.

home side's substandard offside trap and he found Miles Storey who did

:39:58.:40:05.

the rest. And 11th goal of the season for him and perhaps his

:40:06.:40:12.

easiest of the lot. The United defence seemed unconcerned by the

:40:13.:40:17.

long-range threat posed by Greg Tansy who called Kawashima into

:40:18.:40:21.

action with a decent drive. Greg Tansey is more than capable from

:40:22.:40:25.

such range, a decent save from Kawashima. Inverness were now in the

:40:26.:40:33.

groove and Greg Tansey slipped in Miles Storey, but the Englishman

:40:34.:40:40.

passed the chance up for number two. The visitors would put the game to

:40:41.:40:45.

bed after the break, Iain Vigurs with his smart control and finish. A

:40:46.:40:55.

third goal in four matches for the midfielder and perhaps a fatal blow

:40:56.:41:00.

to United's hopes of avoiding the drop. To their credit Mixu

:41:01.:41:05.

Paatelainen's men refused to give in. They almost found a way back

:41:06.:41:12.

into the match, only for Williams to deny Kyle Nile from close range. A

:41:13.:41:17.

rare moment of action for the Caley Thistle keeper. Iain Vigurs almost

:41:18.:41:23.

got a third at the death, but the job was done for the Highlanders.

:41:24.:41:27.

For United relegation now looms large. Unfortunately we have had too

:41:28.:41:37.

many and that is why we are where we are in the league table. Of course

:41:38.:41:43.

the supporters have every right to criticise us and not be happy

:41:44.:41:48.

because the performance today was diabolical. Apart from 20 minutes in

:41:49.:41:55.

the second half we were worthy of the victory. We could have got more

:41:56.:41:59.

goals, it is a difficult venue to come and play football, but a

:42:00.:42:03.

massive three points. What a difference a week can make. Dundee

:42:04.:42:10.

United beat St Johnstone last week and everybody talking about them

:42:11.:42:14.

getting out of the position they are in, but now I they finished? Yes, I

:42:15.:42:20.

think so. Last week I was talking about them putting themselves in a

:42:21.:42:24.

great position, a great opportunity to get out of the play-off spots,

:42:25.:42:28.

never mind relegation. The two defeats in a week has dealt that

:42:29.:42:34.

chance huge blow. Ultimately you see a lot of these clips and they had

:42:35.:42:39.

chances and they did not convert them. That was during the week

:42:40.:42:45.

against Partick Thistle as well. Lots of opportunities, but they were

:42:46.:42:51.

not able to convert. Mixu Paatelainen described it as

:42:52.:42:56.

diabolical. The fans must be so angry. Defensively they have been

:42:57.:43:03.

poor. They have changed from a back three to back four to stop it, but

:43:04.:43:09.

they are just not good enough. How big will the changes have to be next

:43:10.:43:15.

season? The club have said themselves they will be a lot of

:43:16.:43:19.

changes and the guys they have brought in will be out of contract

:43:20.:43:22.

in the summer. They gambled a bit and brought a lot of money in, so

:43:23.:43:27.

look at the number of guys out of contract and there will be wholesale

:43:28.:43:33.

changes. It was a good win for Inverness Caley Thistle. The group

:43:34.:43:40.

went out Highlands, it has been an odd season for them. Look at the

:43:41.:43:46.

players they have lost, Mackay, shimmy, Christie. Not only that they

:43:47.:43:53.

have been hampered with injuries. Warren has been out for a long time.

:43:54.:43:58.

They will be disappointed not to get into the top six, but deep down

:43:59.:44:02.

there are reasons for that and they have done fine. They will want to

:44:03.:44:06.

finish with a flourish, but it has been tough for them and they have

:44:07.:44:07.

set their standards high. All that leaves the Ladbrokes

:44:08.:44:11.

Premiership table looking like this. Celtic are eight points clear

:44:12.:44:16.

of Aberdeen at the top Hearts are nine points behind

:44:17.:44:20.

Aberdeen with a game in hand. It should be an interesting

:44:21.:44:28.

fight for fourth place. Dundee and Partick Thistle

:44:29.:44:30.

are in the bottom six. Big wins for Hamilton

:44:31.:44:33.

and Kilmarnock. The Championship looms ever

:44:34.:44:34.

larger for Dundee United. Rangers began their journey

:44:35.:44:37.

in the lowest tier of Scottish football back in 2012 with a 2-2

:44:38.:44:40.

draw away to Peterhead. Just days after their promotion

:44:41.:44:42.

to the Premiership they face Peterhead in the final

:44:43.:44:45.

of the Petrofac Challenge injury absence and makes a good save

:44:46.:44:47.

to deny him. Miller Riggins position. It is

:44:48.:45:19.

turned on. Gilchrist. A horrible moment for the Peterhead defender

:45:20.:45:22.

who tried to intervene and gave Rangers the lead. It has been all

:45:23.:45:32.

Rangers so far. Peterhead once again cannot clear their lines. Brilliant

:45:33.:45:42.

from Tavernier. There's stadium has seen some special goals down the

:45:43.:45:46.

years and that is as good as the rest. Driving into the penalty area

:45:47.:45:55.

and he is brought down. Penalty kick. Stephen Noble complains about

:45:56.:46:03.

the decision. He had a couple of no balls outside the box. The referee

:46:04.:46:06.

the decision. He had a couple of no judged at a foul. 3-0 to Rangers,

:46:07.:46:18.

and surely their name is on the trophy. A confident penalty. Rangers

:46:19.:46:23.

flooding forward looking to add some gloss in the closing stages. Shields

:46:24.:46:32.

just misses. Miller! Kenny Miller makes it 4-0. It rounds off what has

:46:33.:46:43.

been a comfortable day for Rangers. There would have been moments when

:46:44.:46:49.

they. They would not get their hands on the trophy but Rangers finally

:46:50.:46:53.

lift the Challenge Cup and bring to an end a perfect week for Mark were

:46:54.:46:55.

lift the Challenge Cup and bring to bitten's men. What were your

:46:56.:47:05.

thoughts? An emphatic victory. Yes. The way they dispatched Peterhead

:47:06.:47:06.

gives them a lot of Hibs and Falkirk still

:47:07.:47:08.

jostling for second place. The Easter Road side away to Alloa,

:47:09.:48:22.

while Falkirk hosted St Mirren. After a draw and he defeats in their

:48:23.:48:34.

last two games Falkirk were looking to regain their positive momentum

:48:35.:48:41.

against St Mirren and made the perfect start with Miller opening

:48:42.:48:50.

the scoring in the ninth minute. 1-0 is how it stayed until early in the

:48:51.:48:57.

second half when Mallon equalised. An expertly taken free kick. Falkirk

:48:58.:49:05.

responded. Alston with the cross. Michu with the header. 2-1. With

:49:06.:49:16.

eight minutes left St Mirren produced a great move which was

:49:17.:49:25.

finished off by Mallon. The 20-year-old with his 13th goal of

:49:26.:49:33.

the season. Last month Falkirk beat Rangers 3-2 with a dramatic 90th

:49:34.:49:38.

minute winner and would do it again, this time against St Mirren, Alston

:49:39.:49:46.

with the goal, to send the beer and sold very happy indeed. -- Bairns. A

:49:47.:50:00.

great advert for the Championship. A great game of football. We deserved

:50:01.:50:05.

the three points. We put a lot into the game and we were disappointed in

:50:06.:50:13.

the manner in which we lost. Hibs aiming to get back on the straight

:50:14.:50:20.

and narrow at Alloa. Keating is with the shot saved. Stalks' header

:50:21.:50:28.

summed things up as far as heads are concerned. Alloa would compound the

:50:29.:50:42.

misery. This cross the line. Delight for Alloa. Nothing going the way of

:50:43.:50:51.

Hibs right now. Alan Stubbs' side had all of the second half to make

:50:52.:51:00.

amends. Just off target year. From Liam Henderson's cross, David Gray

:51:01.:51:09.

almost capitalised. Stalks was denied by the substitute goalkeeper

:51:10.:51:16.

David Crawford. Next for Hibs was the substitute Martin Boyle. The

:51:17.:51:23.

Alloa goal remained intact. In the end, Duffy might have had the second

:51:24.:51:25.

Alloa goal remained intact. In the for Alloa. Hibs with one win from

:51:26.:51:30.

their last seven Championship matches. We have played well on a

:51:31.:51:35.

number of occasions without really getting an award so I was delighted

:51:36.:51:39.

for the players to get something tangible. Today was not good enough,

:51:40.:51:48.

simple as that. We have got a big game on Tuesday to look forward to.

:51:49.:51:55.

I will be looking for a response. Hence poor run continues.

:51:56.:52:01.

Congratulations to Raith Rovers who have sealed their place in the

:52:02.:52:05.

play-offs. Tuesday night at Easter Road Hibs take on Falkirk. Will that

:52:06.:52:12.

determine who finishes second? It will have a big bearing. Hibs have a

:52:13.:52:19.

lot of big games coming up and have to quickly get a reaction. Alan

:52:20.:52:24.

Stubbs will be looking for one. Getting a victory against Falkirk

:52:25.:52:28.

would be a great way to lead into the Cup semifinal but they will not

:52:29.:52:32.

be going in with a great deal of confidence. Do you see Falkirk as

:52:33.:52:38.

favourites? Possibly. They or on a good run.

:52:39.:52:40.

That's almost it for tonight but if you simply haven't had

:52:41.:52:42.

enough of Michael Stewart, you're luck's in!

:52:43.:52:44.

He's back on your screens next weekend in a boat.

:52:45.:52:46.

A little bit of frustration. A trip that we did in the summer travelling

:52:47.:53:02.

up the West Coast re-enacting a journey that the guys did in the

:53:03.:53:05.

1930s and unfortunately ended up with a snapped paddle. Losing

:53:06.:53:15.

patience. No red card. Fortunately no referees.

:53:16.:53:19.

Michael Stewart up a creek without a paddle.

:53:20.:53:20.

The Adventure Show next Sunday at 7pm on BBC Two.

:53:21.:53:24.

Was this the weekend the music died in terms of the Premiership title

:53:25.:53:30.

From all of us, until next weekend, goodnight.
