:00:19. > :00:24.Good afternoon, welcome to the results show. Shorter than normal, I
:00:25. > :00:28.hope you don't enjoy it too much, they might just give us half an hour
:00:29. > :00:33.every week! Between now and five o'clock, it is about title races and
:00:34. > :00:36.beating the drop. And the League Cup final tomorrow. Darren Jackson and
:00:37. > :00:41.Tom English drawing us today. Welcome. More from them later, the
:00:42. > :00:47.games are afoot. It is time to muster our reporters. Chip Young, we
:00:48. > :00:50.have not heard from him in a while. You are watching Aberdeen play come
:00:51. > :00:55.on it. I think your timing is perfect. Shea Logan with a diving
:00:56. > :01:03.header has given Aberdeen a 2-1 lead. They went ahead before
:01:04. > :01:07.half-time. Within two minutes into the second half, Josh Magennis, the
:01:08. > :01:11.old Aberdeen player, with an equaliser. But Logan has got a
:01:12. > :01:16.dramatic diving header to put them 2-1 ahead. Next, to the Highlands,
:01:17. > :01:23.Inverness play Hamilton. Martin Dowden is watching. Carlton Morris
:01:24. > :01:26.delivering a massive goal, as Hamilton looked to pull away from
:01:27. > :01:31.the relegation play-off places. Inverness are being dragged back
:01:32. > :01:42.towards it with their top starting to stumble. Next, Dens Park with
:01:43. > :01:47.Brian McLaughlin, watching Dundee play Haas. Walker seventh goal of
:01:48. > :01:51.the season, eight minutes into the second half. It's a fantastic game
:01:52. > :01:59.of football with a lot of chances at both ends. Almost 1500 fans here.
:02:00. > :02:02.Terry Kitchin, the American, has come on as a substitute for the
:02:03. > :02:18.first time. -- Perry Kitchen. 74 minutes gone
:02:19. > :02:22.here, St Mirren had a half-time lead thanks to a penalty, before being
:02:23. > :02:28.kept back by Gary Oliver's header. One minute later, Callum Tapping
:02:29. > :02:37.restored St Mirren's lead. What is happening there? Intriguing stuff,
:02:38. > :02:43.especially at Pitt Drew. It's another test for the Dons tool, it
:02:44. > :02:49.is one each and they seem to be passing it? Yes, it is dramatic
:02:50. > :02:52.stuff. Aberdeen keep getting into hairy situations, and recently they
:02:53. > :02:57.are getting out of them. That was a brilliant goal from Logan, this
:02:58. > :03:00.would be a fantastic three points for him. Speaking of hairy
:03:01. > :03:04.situations, I'm not talking about your beard but Inverness against
:03:05. > :03:12.Hamilton? Things are looking perilous fall Caley Thistle? If they
:03:13. > :03:16.lose? Yes, it is a poor result for them. Going up to Inverness is
:03:17. > :03:18.always a hard game but Hamilton look like they are doing very well today
:03:19. > :03:29.and it was a great finish. Hart on like they are doing very well today
:03:30. > :03:36.course for doing well? Walker scored again, that is five in his last
:03:37. > :03:39.seven? You are a fan? Yes, I'm surprised that the international
:03:40. > :03:43.manager is not a fan. I would have thought that he should be in the
:03:44. > :03:49.squad. I think he is doing well enough to merit a call-up. He is a
:03:50. > :03:54.brilliant player. Queen of the South, if the bodies hold onto a
:03:55. > :03:57.win, can they speak into the play-offs? They put themselves into
:03:58. > :04:02.the play-offs at the end of the season but you can only start by
:04:03. > :04:06.today. Winning 2-1, they would be delighted with that. The great thing
:04:07. > :04:11.this season is that every game at this stage, there is a big game for
:04:12. > :04:15.about every team. The lunchtime match at Firhill, imported for
:04:16. > :04:21.Celtic in terms of their title prospects. And Partick Thistle in
:04:22. > :04:23.terms of top six positions, and pulling away from relegation
:04:24. > :04:28.play-offs. If you don't know what happened,
:04:29. > :04:32.let's enlighten you. Potentially massive three points in
:04:33. > :04:38.the league title race for Celtic and Ronny Deila, Celtic in the end
:04:39. > :04:41.edging competitively. The first half was well matched, Celtic created
:04:42. > :04:45.plenty of chances. Partick Thistle created one or two with Craig Gordon
:04:46. > :04:50.having to make a couple of good saves. Just on the stroke of
:04:51. > :04:57.half-time, the predatory Leigh Griffiths got his 35th goal of the
:04:58. > :05:03.season. The goalkeeper managed to get a hand to it. The second half
:05:04. > :05:06.started well, Callum McGregor doubled Celtic's advantage. A Gary
:05:07. > :05:11.Mackay-Steven pass on knocking it past the goalkeeper. Celtic pretty
:05:12. > :05:14.much controlled the rest of the match, that was until Erik
:05:15. > :05:20.Sviatchenko was penalised for a poll on Wallace, allowing Welsh to
:05:21. > :05:24.dispatch a penalty past Craig Gordon. It gave This all something
:05:25. > :05:34.minutes but they could not get it. minutes but they could not get it.
:05:35. > :05:38.-- Caley Thistle. Final score 2-1.
:05:39. > :05:41.It was a jittery closing few minutes? Yes, but I think they were
:05:42. > :05:44.comfortable until then. With five minutes to go, the way results have
:05:45. > :05:52.been going, they would have panicked. But I'm pleased K Stephen.
:05:53. > :05:57.-- for Mackay-Steven. He's feeling part of it again. You were there?
:05:58. > :06:01.Yes, there were eight attempts on goal in the first half. There would
:06:02. > :06:05.have been a similar number in the second half but bizarrely it turned
:06:06. > :06:09.into a really nervous last five minutes. I do not think it was a
:06:10. > :06:13.penalty but they are full value for the win. It was just a little closer
:06:14. > :06:15.than it should have been. They should have been able to save it.
:06:16. > :06:24.Leigh Griffiths taken off at the end of the match.
:06:25. > :06:29.Last week I watched them through their toys out the plan. I think
:06:30. > :06:34.they are anxious to get 40 goals. 35 is an achievement. He scores goals
:06:35. > :06:38.for fun, that is what he does. Will they be anxious now? I do not think
:06:39. > :06:44.so. They had chances in the first half today. One chance in the second
:06:45. > :06:49.half, I think they are fine. I think they are safe. They are in a bit of
:06:50. > :06:52.a hole at the moment, they did well in November and December, they've
:06:53. > :06:57.gone off the boil a bit but they are doing fine. They played and lost to
:06:58. > :07:03.Hearts, Aberdeen, played Celtic and lost to them.
:07:04. > :07:06.Let's look at the fixtures to come. It's OK saying they have so many
:07:07. > :07:10.points and four games in hand, but playing one after the other midweek,
:07:11. > :07:14.it is hard when you don't have a huge squad. But I'm sure they will
:07:15. > :07:19.be delighted with the point and the games they have got. Let's go to
:07:20. > :07:22.last night and the match between Motherwell and Dundee United at Fir
:07:23. > :07:27.Park. A Motherwell win would lift them into the top six, United could
:07:28. > :07:31.do with a win to help them in their desperate attempt to dodge the drop.
:07:32. > :07:35.It turns out it was a notable win for Motherwell coming from behind?
:07:36. > :07:40.It was full of character, and in fairness to Dundee, a brilliant
:07:41. > :07:43.opening goal. I thought, here we go... The Houdini act will have
:07:44. > :07:50.another chapter tonight. At Motherwell come back and win the
:07:51. > :07:53.game, they are a team on form -- but Motherwell come back. They had a
:07:54. > :07:58.mountain to climb at the bottom of the league, Dundee, but if it is the
:07:59. > :08:06.same today for Kilmarnock it keeps the gap at eight. Motherwell could I
:08:07. > :08:12.up European places next season? It depends how quickly they can change.
:08:13. > :08:17.They are down the bottom, then the top six. They have a really
:08:18. > :08:26.different team, Scott McDonald comes off and plays. What if Scott
:08:27. > :08:29.McDonald is sent off? Should he have been? I thought it was a
:08:30. > :08:33.sending-off, there was not a foul for the goal. It shows when you are
:08:34. > :08:40.down there, lock does not go for you. Dundee United, I know that you
:08:41. > :08:44.believe that they can get out of the automatic relegation spot but it
:08:45. > :08:46.looks tough? It was looking tougher when Kilmarnock were drawing and
:08:47. > :08:51.Hamilton were winning but I believe they can get into the play-off
:08:52. > :08:55.anyway. What was your basis for that belief? I think they have very good
:08:56. > :08:59.players and if things went well for them last night, they could have got
:09:00. > :09:03.a result. I believe they have a really good squad. I think they will
:09:04. > :09:07.get out of it. If you've had occasion to look at the championship
:09:08. > :09:09.table, you will see Ranges are 15 points clear at the top. It seems
:09:10. > :09:18.the title race is pretty much over, they beat their opponents at Ibrox.
:09:19. > :09:26.-- Rangers. It was a Denny Johnstone goal. You
:09:27. > :09:31.were questioning whether they could stay? It was on this programme when
:09:32. > :09:39.they lost to Falkirk. They were really good that day, and Rangers
:09:40. > :09:42.were poor. I really questioned Rangers, but since that weekend,
:09:43. > :09:48.they've been excellent. They've dropped a couple of points since
:09:49. > :09:52.then, but they've been exceptional and will be worthy winners of the
:09:53. > :09:56.league. They have the Scottish Cup draw against Celtic. Coming up in
:09:57. > :10:00.the semifinal, that would concentrate their minds wonderfully,
:10:01. > :10:04.wouldn't it? There would be no slack at Ibrox? They've done exceptionally
:10:05. > :10:11.well. They had a blip but have handled the pressure and the boys
:10:12. > :10:16.have stepped up. The cap game -- the cup game, that confidence from last
:10:17. > :10:21.week at Dundee will be enormous. They scored four goals, three goals,
:10:22. > :10:27.without work on, a fantastic signing. Kenny Miller, what a
:10:28. > :10:34.professional he is. Mark Warburton was questioning Gordon Strachan's
:10:35. > :10:41.squad, they thought that Wallace should have been in there. You've
:10:42. > :10:45.probably written an essay on this, Wallace is not the only notable
:10:46. > :10:50.emission? Laconic has scored again today, 21 goals in the championship,
:10:51. > :10:58.playing 100 minutes under Strachan in three years. This is a proven
:10:59. > :11:04.predator in the championship, he has not got a look in, Jamie Walker,
:11:05. > :11:10.Shinnie, Scott Garfield, he's going to be declaring for Canada by the
:11:11. > :11:14.sound of it. I could keep you going. I think there is a lot of anger over
:11:15. > :11:18.these squads and the guys who have been left out unfairly, I think.
:11:19. > :11:25.Should there be more new faces in there? They need more games to get
:11:26. > :11:28.all of the players in, but I have a lot of respect for Gordon. I'm sure
:11:29. > :11:34.they've sat and looked at the squads and the players. Yes, everyone says
:11:35. > :11:38.Lee Wallace, but Tierney, and Wallace, does Wallace want to sit on
:11:39. > :11:44.the bench and be part of it? You don't know, but I'm sure that Gordon
:11:45. > :11:48.has looked at it and there is reason why he's picked some people for the
:11:49. > :11:55.squad, everyone has an dammit. I just
:11:56. > :12:00.-- has a go. He knows what these guys can do. He has not given them a
:12:01. > :12:04.-- has a go. He knows what these chance, but he knows what James
:12:05. > :12:10.Forrest can do. He is in the squad. Sat on the bench. Tony what is in
:12:11. > :12:18.ahead of Ross MacCormack. It need someone to explain that to me.
:12:19. > :12:21.Let's hear once again from chip, who is watching Aberdeen play
:12:22. > :12:29.Kilmarnock. There is a massive sense of relief around the ground. Nervous
:12:30. > :12:35.Aberdeen fans after the equaliser from Magennis. The corner kick that
:12:36. > :12:39.second goal came from, I do not think it should have been given. It
:12:40. > :12:45.does not look like Jamie MacDonald got a touch on the ball but it was
:12:46. > :12:50.given. Barry Robson's delivery was brilliant from the left-hand side.
:12:51. > :12:54.Two minutes after the break, it was an equaliser from the former Dons
:12:55. > :12:59.striker Magennis, and suddenly Aberdeen... It was a nervous place.
:13:00. > :13:05.Logan scored a magnificent diving header, and the places,. Local
:13:06. > :13:10.friends looking at the league table can say that once again they are
:13:11. > :13:14.only one point behind Celtic. However, still a bit to go but I
:13:15. > :13:19.think Aberdeen have a grip on this match now. They are remaining 2-1
:13:20. > :13:30.ahead. Let's go to Inverness, Caley Thistle were trailing 1-0 when we
:13:31. > :13:32.last heard, any change? It is the same. That scoreline at the tawdry
:13:33. > :13:36.last heard, any change? It is the is music to their ears, it would
:13:37. > :13:41.establish a 5-point gap. Inverness are knocking on the door. They had
:13:42. > :13:45.one real chance to get back into this and snatch a point. The ball
:13:46. > :13:49.was really high in the air, dropping to Michael McGovern but he could not
:13:50. > :13:55.get much on it. The ball came to Inverness committee knocked it off
:13:56. > :13:57.the post, knocking at the door, as things stand a vital three points.
:13:58. > :14:06.Hamilton are on course for those. things stand a vital three points.
:14:07. > :14:12.Let's find out about Dundee playing Hearts. 2.5 minutes left, still 1-0.
:14:13. > :14:16.Jamie Walker scored eight minutes into this second half, but Dundee
:14:17. > :14:23.should be level, they've peppered the Hearts goal in this second area.
:14:24. > :14:29.Rory Loy could not find the target, the coach will be asking that
:14:30. > :14:36.question at full-time. It was saved by the legs of Alexander. The ball
:14:37. > :14:42.went towards the goal, but the ball was blasted clear. Two minutes left
:14:43. > :14:45.to play here at dens Park. They are on course for their fourth
:14:46. > :14:50.successive win in the league. On course for a trip to Paisley
:14:51. > :14:58.next, the 2021 Stadium is the venue of today's match.
:14:59. > :15:09.2-1, 87 minutes gone. It started in the 30th minute. A penalty put St
:15:10. > :15:12.Mirren ahead. Oliver got a goal. Before I left the office today, I
:15:13. > :15:21.said that Stevie Mallon would score. He did, I won't brag about it.
:15:22. > :15:25.Queens hit the bar through Jacobs. In the second-half, St Mirren a goal
:15:26. > :15:32.disallowed, it it was a calendar drive from that angle, turned in by
:15:33. > :15:36.Shankland, that is why it was disallowed for offside.
:15:37. > :15:41.It was 1-1 at 62 minutes, Jacobs crossed and it was headed in by
:15:42. > :15:45.Oliver. One minute later, Alex Cooper ran down the left-hand side
:15:46. > :15:46.for St Mirren and drove in a low cross which was turned into his own
:15:47. > :16:00.net by Callum Tapping. Tell me how it is going to finish,
:16:01. > :16:08.then?! It is going to finish may be 2-2. Let's take a break and talk
:16:09. > :16:14.about the leak cup final, which is live on BBC television tomorrow
:16:15. > :16:21.afternoon. We have got this graphic to prove it. There was some mood
:16:22. > :16:25.music Dingwall-style today, as they headed south on their mission to win
:16:26. > :16:28.their first major trophy. They were successful on their last visit to
:16:29. > :16:32.the national stadium, taking care of Celtic in the semifinals, knocking
:16:33. > :16:38.out the cup holders with this win at Hampden. This must give them a real
:16:39. > :16:46.boost of confidence. Of course. Ross County on their day are a formidable
:16:47. > :16:53.side, as are Hibs, which is why it is difficult to call. Neither of
:16:54. > :16:57.them are at their best. They were both at their best at the start of
:16:58. > :17:01.the season. I am really looking forward to this one. It is a hard
:17:02. > :17:05.one to call, isn't it? I was saying to you before the show, Darren, that
:17:06. > :17:13.Ross County did not seem to be able to string together a run of
:17:14. > :17:17.victories? No,, I have got a lot of respect for what they have achieved
:17:18. > :17:23.up there. This would be the icing on the cake. But I have just got a
:17:24. > :17:27.sneaky feeling for Hibs, for what they have achieved against
:17:28. > :17:32.Premiership teams this year. And I think they have got Premiership
:17:33. > :17:36.players in the Hibs team anyway. Somewhat surprisingly, Hibs are the
:17:37. > :17:40.favourites with the bookmakers. Surprising because Ross County are a
:17:41. > :17:45.Premiership side. However, Hibs have taken care of Premiership opposition
:17:46. > :17:53.in the competition, most recently St Johnstone in the semifinals, Darren.
:17:54. > :18:01.Yes, that is the big one, going to a semifinal and going against a good
:18:02. > :18:08.strong Premiership side. Right penalty! Yes, it was, the referee
:18:09. > :18:12.gave it and he put it away well. But it was a massive result. St
:18:13. > :18:19.Johnstone are a really good side, a hard side to play against. They have
:18:20. > :18:24.taken care of Dundee United and Aberdeen as well on their way to
:18:25. > :18:30.this final. Yes. In the two cup competitions they have played nine
:18:31. > :18:32.matches, won seven and drawn two, taking care of Premiership
:18:33. > :18:40.opposition along the way. Formidable. Not playing great at the
:18:41. > :18:48.moment. They are not. I was actually at the Queen's game and I was at
:18:49. > :18:50.thes game as well. Things just not going their way at the
:18:51. > :19:01.did not actually play really badly. did not actually play really badly.
:19:02. > :19:05.-- at the Morton game as well. They had a decision going against them.
:19:06. > :19:10.And poor goals they conceded. What not playing really badly. Two
:19:11. > :19:17.impressive managers. Very much so. They have brought their clubs
:19:18. > :19:20.forward impressively. Preparations-wise this week, it has
:19:21. > :19:28.been very different. Hibs have jetted off to the sun, while County
:19:29. > :19:35.stayed at home. Yes, I mean, I would go for the sun option! No disrespect
:19:36. > :19:39.to Dingwall! Is it a different approach to the final? Not really.
:19:40. > :19:43.Maybe it is good to take them away and take away the pressure of it
:19:44. > :19:48.being in the papers all the time. Just go away and they do not hear
:19:49. > :19:51.anything. They can just concentrate on training and speaking about what
:19:52. > :19:56.they want to achieve. What kind of final do you think it will be? Is it
:19:57. > :20:00.too close to call? I think it is. I think it will be open. I hope the
:20:01. > :20:04.sense of occasion does not get to think it will be open. I hope the
:20:05. > :20:10.them and that they both come and play. I think it will be. I think
:20:11. > :20:16.they are both footballing sides. But the prize is so big, sometimes, you
:20:17. > :20:21.would know this better than anybody, it can suffer gate the guys. I hope
:20:22. > :20:29.it doesn't, I really do. -- suffocate. Who are you going for? I
:20:30. > :20:32.have said Hibs, but I say that with very little confidence. Ross County
:20:33. > :20:38.are aside who absolutely deserve respect. The full-times are
:20:39. > :20:43.beginning to come in, the first of which comes from Charlie Mann, home
:20:44. > :20:50.of Alloa. They are at home to wait Rovers this afternoon. How has it
:20:51. > :20:54.finished? It has finished 1-1. Not the greatest game in the world, but
:20:55. > :20:58.lots of drama towards the end. First half, it was Ryan Hartley who should
:20:59. > :21:04.have put Raith Rovers in front. He lacked composure in front of goal.
:21:05. > :21:08.The second half started well for Raith Rovers, Aidan Connolly, good
:21:09. > :21:16.shot from the edge of the box, really good save. , then Alloa, who
:21:17. > :21:20.are seeking their first home win in the league of the season went in
:21:21. > :21:25.front. Good run down the right-hand side and ball into the box, and
:21:26. > :21:29.Stephen Hetherington was free at the far post to put low past the
:21:30. > :21:31.goalkeeper. And then of course, Raith Rovers pushed for everything
:21:32. > :21:40.to try to get the equaliser. And in the dying minutes, 90th minute,
:21:41. > :21:51.Benedict is, in the right place at the right time to put it past the
:21:52. > :21:58.goalkeeper. So close for Alloa. -- Benedictus. In the end, it is
:21:59. > :22:04.another important .4 Raith Rovers. Let's find out what happened between
:22:05. > :22:11.Dundee and Hearts. It has finished 1-1. The game merited much more than
:22:12. > :22:12.this one solitary goal. Jimmy Walker showed fantastic composure to go
:22:13. > :22:24.around Scott Bain to get Hearts was showed fantastic composure to go

:22:29. > :22:31.Jordon Moody did find the back of the net, but the flag was raised for
:22:32. > :22:40.offside. No doubt Paul Hartley will be asking exactly what his players
:22:41. > :22:52.had to do to score this afternoon. Several good chances were passed up.
:22:53. > :22:57.Rory Loy had a good chance. Don Cowie should have found the net
:22:58. > :23:03.after good work by Walker, but fired just wide. A fantastic win for
:23:04. > :23:07.Hearts as they home in on a European spot. A dent on the chances of
:23:08. > :23:16.Dundee of getting a lucrative top six spot. Off we go to Somerset
:23:17. > :23:22.park, a look into League One. Derek Ferguson has the story of the game.
:23:23. > :23:28.It has finished Ayr United 0- one Dunfermline Athletic. Not a thing of
:23:29. > :23:36.beauty. The opening 45 minutes was more of a battle rather than a
:23:37. > :23:43.football match. The same pattern of play continued into the second
:23:44. > :23:46.period up until, and thankfully, the talented El Bakhtaoui took centre
:23:47. > :23:49.stage with two goals in five minutes. First he held off the
:23:50. > :23:55.challenge of Murphy to drive home from 15 yards out. Then an absolute
:23:56. > :24:00.cracker, volleying home from ten yards to give the 'keeper no chance.
:24:01. > :24:04.That one came on six to seven minutes. That is how it has
:24:05. > :24:10.finished. So, another three points for Allan Johnston's men as they
:24:11. > :24:18.march on towards the league title. Full-time at Pittodrie now. Well, it
:24:19. > :24:23.was not a thing of beauty, but rate is a dramatic win for Aberdeen.
:24:24. > :24:26.Three points keep them hanging on to the coat-tails of league leaders
:24:27. > :24:34.Celtic. Ash Taylor said he had a them the lead on the threshold of
:24:35. > :24:40.half-time. -- Ash Taylor's header. It came from a corner which I do not
:24:41. > :24:45.believe should have been awarded. And the equaliser came to minutes
:24:46. > :24:49.into the second half. Josh Magennis, once upon a time an Aberdeen player,
:24:50. > :24:55.got in a header which went beyond Scott Brown to stun Pittodrie. There
:24:56. > :25:00.were a lot of nervous moments for the locals in the wake of that. Then
:25:01. > :25:06.after 71 minutes, a fabulous diving header from Logan put Aberdeen
:25:07. > :25:14.ahead. They hung it until the final whistle. It gives them an important
:25:15. > :25:23.and dramatic three points. Full-time in Inverness. Over to Martin Dowden.
:25:24. > :25:29.Yes, Inverness 0- one Hamilton full stop a massive three points for
:25:30. > :25:34.Hamilton. They put some distance between themselves and the
:25:35. > :25:43.relegation play-off places. Morrison drilled it in on 59 minutes.
:25:44. > :25:49.Inverness had had a couple of good attempts. But the first period was
:25:50. > :25:56.fairly uninspiring. John Hughes went for broke, and again they were very
:25:57. > :26:00.unlucky with an instinct to header going just wide. They had three
:26:01. > :26:05.strikers on the park at the end. They nearly snatched a point when a
:26:06. > :26:11.high ball into the box caused havoc. They hit the post, it came out.
:26:12. > :26:17.Danny Devine then nodded over right at the death. Dramatic,, not enough.
:26:18. > :26:24.This gives Hamilton a vital 5-point cushion at the bottom. Back to the
:26:25. > :26:26.Championship and Kenny Crawford, St Mirren against Queen of the South.
:26:27. > :26:32.Championship and Kenny Crawford, St Was your prediction correct for the
:26:33. > :26:37.final score? I was just one out. It finished 2-1. It is a precious win
:26:38. > :26:42.for St Mirren, keeping their hopes of finishing fourth alive with this
:26:43. > :26:46.is unsure. Queen of the South were also trying to get up to that
:26:47. > :26:51.fourth-place, but they have not a good record in McIlroy. They have
:26:52. > :26:56.not won here since 2003. In the 30th minute, Stevie Mallan scored a
:26:57. > :27:01.penalty, his 10th of the season, low into the bottom corner. That is what
:27:02. > :27:05.it was at half-time. After the break, St Mirren thought they had
:27:06. > :27:09.doubled their lead when Calum Gallagher's shot was touched in at
:27:10. > :27:14.the back post I Shanklin. The referee disallowed it for offside. I
:27:15. > :27:20.think it was going in if Shankland had not touched it. Queen of the
:27:21. > :27:24.South then went up the other end and equalised. It was a lovely floated
:27:25. > :27:28.ball to the back post by Kyle Jacobs. Former Hearts layered Gary
:27:29. > :27:38.Oliver nodded it in at the back post. But that lasted only 60
:27:39. > :27:41.seconds. St Mirren made it 2-1 almost immediately. Alex Cooper
:27:42. > :27:49.scampered down the left and crossed it in low and hard and Calum Tapping
:27:50. > :27:55.scampered down the left and crossed put it in. That is the way it
:27:56. > :27:57.finished. We have got time for a wee bit of discussion here. Aberdeen
:27:58. > :28:00.winning 2-1 at home to Kilmarnock. bit of discussion here. Aberdeen
:28:01. > :28:08.The title race is still very much alive? Yes, Derek will be delighted.
:28:09. > :28:12.It does not have to be pretty. Kilmarnock gave a good account of
:28:13. > :28:18.themselves, but when you have got the desire to win the game, it
:28:19. > :28:24.counts. Two defenders scoring for Aberdeen as well? Yes, and that
:28:25. > :28:28.tells you something. I think it is Aberdeen's 12 victories in the
:28:29. > :28:35.league I a single goal this season. People talk about bottle, and that
:28:36. > :28:41.word is constantly used. They have it, they have shown that. Hamilton
:28:42. > :28:47.have put the cat among the pigeons today as well? They have. We were
:28:48. > :28:52.just speaking there. It is a massive three points. Every time I look at
:28:53. > :29:00.the table, I have to look at it three four times. But Accies are now
:29:01. > :29:06.five clear of Kilmarnock, second bottom, but only five outside the
:29:07. > :29:09.top six. Yes, and that is insane! That is bonkers. Hamilton, this is
:29:10. > :29:11.only their second win since December. Fair play to them, it is a
:29:12. > :29:16.huge win for them today. Not enough December. Fair play to them, it is a
:29:17. > :29:22.to ensure their safety, surely. No, you would not say that. Because this
:29:23. > :29:27.league table can change five times in the same day, never mind over the
:29:28. > :29:32.seven or eight games left in the season. You cannot say anything is
:29:33. > :29:36.sealed right now. The bottom two perhaps, are we beginning to look at
:29:37. > :29:42.those two? Yes, that result today has put the cat amongst the pigeons.
:29:43. > :29:45.I think Hamilton, as we said, not safe for that they have given
:29:46. > :29:50.themselves a real good chance now. It looks like those two at the
:29:51. > :29:52.bottom, one of them will go down and the other one will be in the
:29:53. > :30:05.play-offs. Thistle have got quite nice running now? They have. --
:30:06. > :30:08.write a nice run-in. They have, and they have had a tough spell
:30:09. > :30:13.recently. They will have a modicum of confidence going into these
:30:14. > :30:16.upcoming games. I think they will be OK. They have a problem with
:30:17. > :30:18.goal-scoring. If they had a proven goal-scorer up front for them, they
:30:19. > :30:24.goal-scoring. If they had a proven would be much further up the table
:30:25. > :30:27.because they are not bad. Dundee, another disappointing result for
:30:28. > :30:33.them today. They have not won now in their last four games? Yes, really
:30:34. > :30:37.disappointing. Coming from last week I think they were so confident going
:30:38. > :30:42.into the cup game, and to be beaten so well against Rangers, and then
:30:43. > :30:49.they were disappointing today as well. That is it for today. I will
:30:50. > :30:52.leave you with a brisk run through of today's results. First up, the
:30:53. > :31:41.Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership... Finally, in League 2...
:31:42. > :31:46.And there you go. Here we go as well. Thank you to our
:31:47. > :31:51.guests for their wit and wisdom. Thank you to you for watching. Enjoy
