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