:00:17. > :00:26.Yes, good afternoon and welcome once again to the results show. Today a
:00:27. > :00:31.tasty cocktail of Scottish Cup and SPL action and English Premier
:00:32. > :00:37.League News for good measure. No shaking from the guests but maybe
:00:38. > :00:42.staring. Pat Nevin and Marc Wilson. We will start with the first of the
:00:43. > :00:47.Scottish Cup semifinals. You might know the outcome. I will not spoil
:00:48. > :00:52.the surprise if you don't, instead Craig Paterson and Leah McLeod will
:00:53. > :00:58.describe what happened when Hibernian net Dundee United this
:00:59. > :01:07.lunchtime. Lewis Stevenson, the first chance
:01:08. > :01:19.for him, perhaps. He has provided 23 times this season.
:01:20. > :01:30.The Hibs debutant comes up with an answer.
:01:31. > :01:42.He's always too much of it. He has given a penalty for handball!
:01:43. > :01:55.I think Donaldson got the head down and the arm up. An unusual position.
:01:56. > :02:02.Difficult to tell. Oh, dear, oh, dear. What on earth is that? At this
:02:03. > :02:05.stage in the competition, you do not need that. The ball flying in the
:02:06. > :02:23.back of the net is what you need. He fancied it. Blair Spittal on
:02:24. > :02:29.familiar territory, a former Queens park man. Mckay. Hibs stopped.
:02:30. > :02:44.Again, he is denied by Conrad Logan. It was a great ball and a great take
:02:45. > :02:56.by Gray. Close, but not close enough.
:02:57. > :03:15.Erskine was onside. Off the line by Hanlon. It was a cunning ball from
:03:16. > :03:23.Paton. John Beaton sends us into extra time.
:03:24. > :03:33.McGinn has perhaps not be the influence we know he can be.
:03:34. > :03:43.The keeper to make the save. Rankin thought he was scoring. It is a
:03:44. > :03:55.wonderful save. He forced it through. Another good save. Conrad
:03:56. > :03:59.Logan has just received a standing ovation from the Hibernian
:04:00. > :04:09.supporters. Once again a clever ball through.
:04:10. > :04:25.Kawashima. Decided to punch that. It looked unorthodox, again, from the
:04:26. > :04:28.Japanese. He has blown the whistle and the first William Hill Scottish
:04:29. > :04:39.Cup semifinal is going to a penalty shoot out. Blair Spittal is up
:04:40. > :04:46.first. Well, wouldn't you know it. The man of the moment does it again!
:04:47. > :04:54.John McGinn. To put them in front. And he does. As decisive as you get.
:04:55. > :04:58.Billy Mckay missed a couple of good And he does. As decisive as you get.
:04:59. > :05:04.chances. And another save from Logan!
:05:05. > :05:10.Paul Hanlon, who scored the late equaliser against Hearts makes it
:05:11. > :05:25.two. Paul Dixon simply has too score for
:05:26. > :05:31.Dundee United. He does. They are still breathing.
:05:32. > :05:39.Martin Boyle. He has the chance to move Hibernian closer to the final.
:05:40. > :05:56.Another wonderful penalty. Demel. The weight of the world on
:05:57. > :06:05.his shoulders. That was a terrific penalty from Demel. Jason Cummings.
:06:06. > :06:21.He has the chance to put Hibernian into the final. It is Glory, glory.
:06:22. > :06:23.Jason Cummings. He can raise all memories of that penalty miss in the
:06:24. > :06:35.first half. Pat Nevin, you have 20 seconds to
:06:36. > :06:41.tell me everything you know about the goalkeeper. He is a new cult
:06:42. > :06:46.figure at Hibernian. He was fabulous all the way through. You talk about
:06:47. > :06:56.the saves he made. The rest of the game was superb. Sensibly, everyone
:06:57. > :07:00.had a good game. But you have to do the technical things right and he
:07:01. > :07:10.did all things right. Will he play in the final? On that performance he
:07:11. > :07:14.should. What about the penalty? Jason Cummings was asked about it
:07:15. > :07:20.after the game and started to talk about the one he scored, as opposed
:07:21. > :07:26.to the one we were talking about. He has swagger. He is a Jack the Lad, a
:07:27. > :07:29.maverick. Sometimes he can back it up and scores wonderful goals, but
:07:30. > :07:35.when you miss one like that it must play on your mind. I hoped he would
:07:36. > :07:41.try again in the penalty shoot out. I bet he thought about it but no way
:07:42. > :07:47.would he do that again. If the keeper goes the right way for that
:07:48. > :07:54.one, he picks it up easily. He has confidence. It is a big part of the
:07:55. > :07:58.game. If you missed chances, the best strikers want another chance.
:07:59. > :08:04.There is no doubt he would want to walk up and take a penalty. He
:08:05. > :08:08.wanted the crucial one. He had to be told he was the one who could score
:08:09. > :08:15.the winner, he was not worried about it, he was seriously up for it.
:08:16. > :08:19.It was not the greatest penalty! The goalkeeper saves it, but it is
:08:20. > :08:25.forgotten about now. He tucked it away and you could see how he loved
:08:26. > :08:29.that moment. The smile on his face. He loved getting the crucial
:08:30. > :08:36.penalty. We will look around the grounds. Not too many matches a
:08:37. > :08:46.foot. We will start with the Renfrewshire derby.
:08:47. > :08:54.1999 since Morton won one of these games. They trailed by 2-1. A good
:08:55. > :08:58.crowd in the stadium. St Mirren would have to win this to catch
:08:59. > :09:06.Morton in the middle of the table Championship race. They are ahead,
:09:07. > :09:11.with a strike from Shankland, a wonderful goal. All three goals have
:09:12. > :09:16.been good. And equaliser from Johnstone was a class effort but two
:09:17. > :09:22.minutes later, Calum Gallagher, after a bad mistake, clearing the
:09:23. > :09:32.ball and virtually passing the ball into the net. This has been a right
:09:33. > :09:34.good game with a crowd of around 5000 in the Paisley 2021 stadium.
:09:35. > :09:40.good game with a crowd of around Eight minutes to go.
:09:41. > :09:49.We can find out what is happening where already relegated Alloa are
:09:50. > :09:57.playing Queen of the South. It is that relegated Alloa who are ahead.
:09:58. > :10:00.A day of penalties at Hampton and here. Queen of the South controlled
:10:01. > :10:06.the opening 20 minutes but could not threaten the home goal and as Alloa
:10:07. > :10:13.came into the game, Flannigan... They have just equalised. Hilson
:10:14. > :10:17.with the header. Ian Flannigan fired them ahead with eight minutes of the
:10:18. > :10:23.first half to go and in the second half, Derek Lyle from the spot
:10:24. > :10:31.equalising for Queen of the South and Alloa hit the crossbar. A header
:10:32. > :10:36.from Hill was cleared and it was the substitute McManus who found the
:10:37. > :10:44.bottom corner and as we speak, a header to pull Queen of the South
:10:45. > :10:49.level. I was intrigued by the choice of phrase, the middle of the
:10:50. > :10:56.Championship race, nothing at stake apart from the derby match. What a
:10:57. > :11:03.disaster it would have been for St Mirren if Morton finished above
:11:04. > :11:08.them. They still might. What a turnaround since he came in. At one
:11:09. > :11:13.stage they looked at the relegation places and they are mid-table,
:11:14. > :11:16.looking towards next year. Fifth-place finish for St Mirren
:11:17. > :11:25.would be exceptional given what happened early in the season. When I
:11:26. > :11:30.see the results, I am looking for Tomo's name.
:11:31. > :11:39.You want players who have had a good career to have an enjoyable final at
:11:40. > :11:47.the end of their career but this would have been good to walk on and
:11:48. > :11:55.score the winning goal. Do you fancy some post-match Hamden reaction? We
:11:56. > :11:59.can hear from both clubs. I am delighted. There is part of me
:12:00. > :12:06.that feels sorry for Dundee United. There is never a great way to lose a
:12:07. > :12:12.semifinal on penalties, it is a cruel way and we have seen the flip
:12:13. > :12:15.side of it. I feel for the lads in the dressing room. They have put a
:12:16. > :12:21.lot of effort in. In the first half we were good, I thought the better
:12:22. > :12:25.team. Dundee United came into the second half and it got to a point
:12:26. > :12:31.where it was both teams not wanting to lose the game. You make your own
:12:32. > :12:37.luck in this game. Obviously, when called upon you can produce things.
:12:38. > :12:45.I am delighted. I thought we were the better team. We had a poor start
:12:46. > :12:49.with Hibs starting well. After that, once we found our composure and we
:12:50. > :12:55.started to make sure we keep the ball and take good care of it, we
:12:56. > :13:01.controlled the game and created three fantastic opportunities. Three
:13:02. > :13:05.one-on-ones with the goalkeeper. That has been the story of the
:13:06. > :13:14.season. I am interested. He said they were were the better team. I do
:13:15. > :13:20.not think he is trying to spin it. The first 35 minutes, Hibs were the
:13:21. > :13:26.better team. Dundee United made a terrible tactical mistake in the
:13:27. > :13:31.left full-back area. Hibs capitalise. They made the change.
:13:32. > :13:36.And got back into it and I would argue that apart from the first ten
:13:37. > :13:40.minutes of the second half, Dundee United, they were at least as good
:13:41. > :13:45.as Hibs, probably slightly better and I do not think there is an
:13:46. > :13:52.argument that the better chances were for Dundee United, apart from
:13:53. > :13:58.the penalty. Nevertheless, Hibs are through. Will they play Rangers or
:13:59. > :14:01.Celtic? You can listen to BBC Radio Scotland from 11:30am with coverage
:14:02. > :14:08.of the second semifinal and you can watch highlights of the match at
:14:09. > :14:14.10:30pm on BBC One Scotland. I would not miss that! It is over a year
:14:15. > :14:17.since the club's last met at the national stadium in the semifinals
:14:18. > :14:26.of the League Cup. It was not that much of a contest. I think we
:14:27. > :14:29.expected that. Teams were in and the changes Rangers have made, the made,
:14:30. > :14:39.the management, the players they had at the time. Now, at this time,
:14:40. > :14:45.Rangers are a completely different outfit. New management and players,
:14:46. > :14:49.a new style of play, confidence. They have won the Championship and
:14:50. > :14:56.another trophy. They come in with confidence, which makes me think the
:14:57. > :15:02.gap has narrowed from last year. Looking at that game, I never
:15:03. > :15:09.expected that Celtic would take their foot off the Gas. That
:15:10. > :15:13.surprised me. Mark mentioning Rangers are much improved. It would
:15:14. > :15:19.seem under Mark Warburton they have proved to be runaway winners of the
:15:20. > :15:24.Championship, clinching the title with a win against Dumbarton. They
:15:25. > :15:29.are a lovely team to watch. Often they will come from these areas. The
:15:30. > :15:35.full-backs are crucial to winning the league and the last few games.
:15:36. > :15:42.And for their chances tomorrow. Also the linkup they have had, they have
:15:43. > :15:44.been fantastic, stretching teams and tearing teams apart. They are a good
:15:45. > :15:55.team. The full-backs and wide players,
:15:56. > :16:01.McCarry, Tavernier, Forrester is out, so who do you put in there?
:16:02. > :16:10.King is out, Waghorn is not available either. You would almost
:16:11. > :16:11.argue he's a bigger mess than Whitehorn, purely for the fact that
:16:12. > :16:17.argue he's a bigger mess than Kenny Miller has been fantastic. He
:16:18. > :16:22.hasn't got the goals Waghorn has scored, but he's been phenomenal
:16:23. > :16:27.this season. For the balance of the team, Warburton likes his tricky and
:16:28. > :16:30.quick wingers. If you happen to put Dean Shiels in there, he's not
:16:31. > :16:34.tricky or quick but he can play the past, but it upsets the balance Mark
:16:35. > :16:41.Warburton likes to play. We saw Rangers clinked -- clinched the
:16:42. > :16:48.Championship. They also thrashed Peterhead last week. Not a dress
:16:49. > :16:52.rehearsal for tomorrow's game, but a warm up at the national stadium for
:16:53. > :16:59.Rangers in front of a big crowd. They are going for a treble, not the
:17:00. > :17:03.treble. He scored at the start of the season and it was phenomenal,
:17:04. > :17:08.then there was a big gap, but he has hit form again, and boy, did he hit
:17:09. > :17:12.that one. It underlines that they are comfortable at Hampden Park.
:17:13. > :17:15.They played comfortably that day, but it's a massive step up in
:17:16. > :17:21.quality when they play Celtic tomorrow. Celtic haven't been that
:17:22. > :17:25.impressive of late. They are stuttering towards the title.
:17:26. > :17:29.Another narrow win against Motherwell last week. I watched them
:17:30. > :17:33.against Hearts and they weren't the best team in that game. Against
:17:34. > :17:38.Dundee they struggled. This time they came out against Motherwell.
:17:39. > :17:41.OK, the scoreline didn't really reflect the amount of chances Celtic
:17:42. > :17:47.had, but they were kind of back to their best. I worry for Celtic just
:17:48. > :17:52.now because they are conceding goals in defence. There was the goal
:17:53. > :17:57.before that, which was either offside or near side, very close to
:17:58. > :18:02.it. With the chances they had, and in the end you sometimes need to
:18:03. > :18:06.carry a bit of luck. They have this guy, Leigh Griffiths, scoring again
:18:07. > :18:11.after three games without scoring. People were saying it was a drought,
:18:12. > :18:15.but he's scored two, so full of confidence. If Rangers have a
:18:16. > :18:19.weakness in their team, a lot of people feel it's the centre-backs. I
:18:20. > :18:24.think that's quite harsh on the centre-backs. The full-backs have
:18:25. > :18:30.hammered up, so they are quite often left on their own. A couple of
:18:31. > :18:33.individual ones I'm looking forward to, right-wing and left-wing for
:18:34. > :18:37.Celtic, attacking against the right back and left-back off Rangers, that
:18:38. > :18:44.will be worth watching at hand Park tomorrow. Actor the Championship,
:18:45. > :18:49.full-time in the match between Alloa and Queen of the South. -- at Hamdan
:18:50. > :18:55.Park tomorrow. -- back to the Championship. Couldn't find enough
:18:56. > :18:58.to threaten the home goal. Alloa started to come back into the game
:18:59. > :19:07.and Flanagan fired them ahead from the penalty spot. Into the second
:19:08. > :19:15.half, not much between the sides, and Derek Lyle equalised. Ian
:19:16. > :19:22.Russell was tripped and from open play Alloa looked more dangerous.
:19:23. > :19:26.Conor McManus drilled the ball low into the bottom corner to restore
:19:27. > :19:37.the Alloa advantage. With five minutes of the game remaining Hilson
:19:38. > :19:42.headed home from close range. Great saves from David Crawford to keep
:19:43. > :19:49.Alloa in the game. It finishes here Alloa 2-2 Queen of the South. Still
:19:50. > :19:55.playing in Paisley. But there has been a goal. St Mirren have
:19:56. > :20:03.leapfrogged Queen of the South in the week of the draw. They just have
:20:04. > :20:07.their third goal here. A lovely finish. Mortimer trying to get the
:20:08. > :20:11.ball away, hitting on the counterattack. St Mirren broke with
:20:12. > :20:17.great style and panache. And Marwood has wrapped it up with a third goal.
:20:18. > :20:23.Referee looking at his watch, we are well into time. Shankland puts St
:20:24. > :20:28.Mirren ahead with a class finish and a second from Gallagher. A fine goal
:20:29. > :20:35.in between the two of them from John Stones. More to looked like they
:20:36. > :20:43.could get back into it. But they are now ahead 3-1. No electronic
:20:44. > :20:50.scoreboard here, but the final whistle has just gone. St Mirren
:20:51. > :21:00.celebrate, a crowd of just over 4000 inside the 2021 stadium. St Mirren
:21:01. > :21:03.go home with all three points. Morton haven't beaten St Mirren in a
:21:04. > :21:09.competitive match since 1999. That goes on. Stevie Thompson will get
:21:10. > :21:14.the full game against Rangers in the final game of the season in Paisley
:21:15. > :21:26.on the 1st of May. We don't know how he knows that but he was keen to get
:21:27. > :21:30.out the 1999 stat. Rangers have improved, I think that's there for
:21:31. > :21:37.all to see, but Celtic, have they moved on at all all regress to? I
:21:38. > :21:42.don't think they are a better side, necessarily, just the centre-backs,
:21:43. > :21:46.I think they had better centre-backs at that time, with Van Dyck and his
:21:47. > :21:54.partner. Take them out of any team in Scotland, but for most teams, it
:21:55. > :21:58.will weaken you. The other one, Roberts, I think for a lot of
:21:59. > :21:59.people, we have only seen clips is of him but he's spectacular.
:22:00. > :22:04.Different class or together than you of him but he's spectacular.
:22:05. > :22:15.are used to seeing in Scottish football. Will he play tomorrow?
:22:16. > :22:22.I've I would be stunned. Apart from stunned, I would be gutted if he
:22:23. > :22:25.doesn't. I want to see him and be entertained. It begs the question,
:22:26. > :22:29.why hasn't he played more games for Celtic. He has been there for a
:22:30. > :22:35.while. If he's that good he should be in. He's the cream of the crop.
:22:36. > :22:39.And Mark was talking about Leigh Griffiths. He scores all the Celtic
:22:40. > :22:43.goals. If Rangers can take care of him, they will be in with a shout. I
:22:44. > :22:48.think they have players who come from midfield who can create as
:22:49. > :22:52.well. It's easy to say, if you can stop Leigh Griffiths, but it's a big
:22:53. > :22:56.if and nobody has been able to do it in the Premier league this season.
:22:57. > :23:06.He's had a great season and wants to add trophies and get 40 goals and he
:23:07. > :23:10.would love to score another. Who it be to face heads on May the 21st?
:23:11. > :23:27.You have to say Celtic are favourites. Arch face heads -- face
:23:28. > :23:33.Hibs Mac. I think it will be close, I think Rangers will score, but I
:23:34. > :23:39.think Celtic will come in. You have always been successful with your
:23:40. > :23:43.predictions. I'm going 3-1 Celtic. We can chat Championship some more.
:23:44. > :23:47.We know the identity of the winners, Rangers, and we know the three teams
:23:48. > :23:52.qualifying for the play-offs, Falkirk, Hibs Mac and Raith Rovers.
:23:53. > :23:56.The race for second place is still on between Falkirk and Hibs, who met
:23:57. > :24:03.a few days ago. That was there. It was another example of Hibs making
:24:04. > :24:08.it difficult for themselves, to be diplomatic. I have to say Falkirk
:24:09. > :24:14.played really well and were really unfortunate to be down to that goal.
:24:15. > :24:19.It was self-inflicted, a mistake, but it was very fortunate as well.
:24:20. > :24:24.It was stupid, self-inflicted to go down to ten men. You thought it was
:24:25. > :24:28.all working in Hibs favour, Falkirk were playing a lot of decent
:24:29. > :24:32.football, looking dangerous in attack and getting the ball on the
:24:33. > :24:41.deck, but there was a penalty and a soft one. I was ducking as that ball
:24:42. > :24:46.was zooming towards me. At this point, most teams at 2-0 up with
:24:47. > :24:50.five minutes to go, you think they would be cruising, but Hibs fans are
:24:51. > :24:56.not feeling that at the moment. And Falkirk have a great spirit about
:24:57. > :24:59.them. It sums up Falkirk. You think they are beaten, out of the race,
:25:00. > :25:03.and that was early in the season when everybody was chatting about
:25:04. > :25:13.Rangers and Hibs. But they have come out of no wear. The spirit that
:25:14. > :25:16.Falkirk have, other teams would love to have that. You have to say Hibs
:25:17. > :25:21.are getting tired at the end of games as well. Either Hibs or
:25:22. > :25:29.Falkirk will play Raith Rovers in the Premiership quarterfinals.
:25:30. > :25:34.Dumbarton are trying to avoid irrigation play-off spot. Connie
:25:35. > :25:42.McLoughlin will be watching. Can you set the scene for us? We have had
:25:43. > :25:50.four seasons in one day here. Quite a remarkable scene, hail, snow, and
:25:51. > :25:56.right now we have the sun out. Hopefully that will stay for the
:25:57. > :26:00.rest of the evening match. The home side were being courage to buy the
:26:01. > :26:04.midweek victory over Queen of the South but the aim will be to secure
:26:05. > :26:08.Championship football for the rest of the season. For Raith Rovers,
:26:09. > :26:14.Championship football for the rest it's about keeping their form going.
:26:15. > :26:17.Unbeaten in eight, their longest unbeaten run since 2013, and I'm
:26:18. > :26:22.guessing they will want to continue that against Dumbarton tonight.
:26:23. > :26:26.Third place is still up for grabs. Team news tonight, one change for
:26:27. > :26:32.the home side, Dumbarton with McCauley out and Gallagher coming
:26:33. > :26:37.in. They have Jamie Ewings in goal, Doherty, Saunders, the Canon,
:26:38. > :26:46.Fleming. Christian Nade is their striker. Three changes for Raith
:26:47. > :26:56.Rovers with Callaghan, Anderson coming in. Longridge, Robertson and
:26:57. > :27:02.Craig going out. Cuthbert in goal, Thomson, Callaghan, Benedictus,
:27:03. > :27:07.Hardy, Connelly, McEwan, bar, and the substitutes McCord, Matthews,
:27:08. > :27:13.Craig and law. The match referee is Nick Walshe.
:27:14. > :27:24.That incredible run Raith Rovers arm, that what makes it vital. --
:27:25. > :27:29.Raith Rovers are on. They are the form team in the division. Looking
:27:30. > :27:32.at the stress and pressure in the semifinal today, and again the same
:27:33. > :27:36.tomorrow. They are playing semifinals and they are painful and
:27:37. > :27:41.torturous, but nothing against play-offs, because they are worse,
:27:42. > :27:43.horrible games to play. The stress you are under, because of the
:27:44. > :27:48.chances, and people lose jobs because of it. The whole structure
:27:49. > :27:51.of the club changes whether you are in one league or another. The
:27:52. > :27:56.play-off games are so important and you want to play as few as you
:27:57. > :28:02.possibly can. If you are Hibs or Falkirk, you don't want the extra
:28:03. > :28:09.game. For second place, I think Falkirk are in the box seat. I would
:28:10. > :28:14.agree, Falkirk, especially with the way they came back against Hibs. We
:28:15. > :28:19.have time to squeeze in a report from one of the big matches in the
:28:20. > :28:26.English Premier league, one full of relegation significance. A point for
:28:27. > :28:31.the Canaries would cook the relegation goose for Rock Bottom
:28:32. > :28:40.Aston Villa, meaning the villains will definitely finish in the bottom
:28:41. > :28:43.three. Steve Wilson can tell us. A mighty victory for Sunderland, huge
:28:44. > :28:47.significance at the bottom of the table. The first goal was five
:28:48. > :28:50.minutes before half-time, Andre Ayew is to found Fabio Borini and the
:28:51. > :28:56.Italian picked himself up and stroked the penalty low to the
:28:57. > :29:00.goalkeeper's right. The second came in the second half, Jermain Defoe
:29:01. > :29:04.was beautifully found by Borini after Sebastien Bassong's error and
:29:05. > :29:08.tucked it in at the back post. Norwich threw everything they had at
:29:09. > :29:12.Sunderland, having several penalty appeals turned down. Hit with a
:29:13. > :29:17.sucker punch in injury time at the end when substitute Duncan Watmore
:29:18. > :29:27.chipped in from a tight angle. Big win for Sunderland. To avoid being
:29:28. > :29:30.relegated today, Aston Villa had to beat Manchester United away. Martin
:29:31. > :29:35.Fisher can tell us what happened. It's all over for Aston Villa, their
:29:36. > :29:39.28 year stay in the top flight has come to its inevitable conclusion.
:29:40. > :29:45.They needed to win today, and United have beaten them by one goal, scored
:29:46. > :29:52.by boy of the moment Marcus Rashford. A remarkable story. A
:29:53. > :29:57.quality chants fashioned by United in the first half, Valencia's ball
:29:58. > :30:03.from the right and Rashford finished neatly. Guzan only had two saves to
:30:04. > :30:09.make, from Mata and Memphis, but it was generally a pretty boring game.
:30:10. > :30:13.Good for United to close the gap on City in fourth to just one point
:30:14. > :30:17.with a fifth home victory in a row. It's all over for Aston Villa in the
:30:18. > :30:24.top flight, and it's the return of the second city Birmingham derby
:30:25. > :30:32.next season. Time for the classified results round-up.
:30:33. > :30:45.We start today with the William Hill Scottish Cup. Hibernian winning 4-2
:30:46. > :30:55.on penalties and as we discussed, Rangers play Celtic tomorrow.
:30:56. > :31:33.Dumbarton play Raith Rovers this evening.
:31:34. > :31:47.Chelsea play Manchester City this evening.
:31:48. > :31:56.We have three matches tomorrow... And Stoke City play Tottenham
:31:57. > :32:44.Hotspur on Monday. The Coventry City and Millwall
:32:45. > :33:44.scored is the latest score. We can have a quick look at the
:33:45. > :33:50.league tables starting with the Scottish Championship. There was no
:33:51. > :34:03.Premiership after -- action this afternoon. The big one today for St
:34:04. > :34:14.Mirren fans. It was a good win, it would point for Alloa. A heavy
:34:15. > :34:34.defeat for Dunfermline athletic this afternoon. At the bottom it is still
:34:35. > :34:41.pretty tight. Congratulations to East Fife, the
:34:42. > :34:51.Scottish league to winners. -- league two.
:34:52. > :35:00.None of the top four in action so far this weekend in the English
:35:01. > :35:09.Premier League. United beating Aston Villa and are just a point behind
:35:10. > :35:14.their rivals Manchester City. Aston Villa are officially relegated to
:35:15. > :35:18.the Championship. Newcastle United and Sunderland the other two teams
:35:19. > :35:32.in the bottom three, despite both winning today. At the top of the
:35:33. > :35:36.Championship... The four in the promotion play-offs, Brighton and
:35:37. > :35:40.how, Hull City, Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday. At the bottom,
:35:41. > :35:46.Bolton Wanderers are relegated and it is not looking good for Milton
:35:47. > :35:49.Keynes Dons and Charlton Athletic. As promised, more reports from down
:35:50. > :36:00.south. We start at St James' Park. Could the fightback be on for
:36:01. > :36:05.Newcastle? Taking the first step in the quest for survival with a
:36:06. > :36:09.deserved win against a fairly lacklustre Swansea. Frustratingly
:36:10. > :36:18.for the visitors the first two came from corners. Andros Townsend got
:36:19. > :36:29.his reward for an impressive performance to make the points safe.
:36:30. > :36:39.On Rafael Benitez' birthday he gets his first win as Newcastle manager.
:36:40. > :36:44.This season is not over yet. Goodison and John Acres was watching
:36:45. > :36:45.Everton and Southampton. The Everton manager Roberto Martinez
:36:46. > :36:49.made six changes with an eye on the The Everton manager Roberto Martinez
:36:50. > :36:54.Merseyside derby and FA Cup semifinal and got away with a point
:36:55. > :37:05.after dropping Lukaku and Ross Barkley to the bench. The Everton
:37:06. > :37:08.goal was against the run of play. Southampton got a deserved equaliser
:37:09. > :37:16.when Manet poked home from close range. Everton giving debuts to
:37:17. > :37:22.Connelly and Davis, who did well. Coleman looks like he might miss the
:37:23. > :37:24.semifinal with an injury. A fan invaded the pitch to show
:37:25. > :37:27.displeasure at the recent run of results but at least they have a
:37:28. > :37:31.point after three successive defeats here.
:37:32. > :37:36.The big story down south was Aston here.
:37:37. > :37:42.Villa are relegated. Not that big a story for me because they were gone
:37:43. > :37:45.anyway. A huge club. Massive, but I think they have been preparing for
:37:46. > :37:51.relegation for a few weeks and months. Brian has gone in and knows
:37:52. > :37:59.football and loves the club. The biggest story is the wins beside
:38:00. > :38:03.them. Newcastle winning today. Sunderland also. I saw Sunderland
:38:04. > :38:09.against Leicester and thought they played really well. Leicester seemed
:38:10. > :38:15.to find a way of doing it. I'm upset for Norwich. They are in trouble
:38:16. > :38:33.now. That is it -- it is a real upset for Norwich. Tomorrow...
:38:34. > :38:46.Next week, the results show on at 4:30pm on BBC Two Scotland. And on
:38:47. > :38:48.radio Scotland... Thanks to Pat and Mark for their
:38:49. > :38:52.sterling service. Good night.
