:00:16. > :00:24.Good afternoon. Welcome once again to the results show. No fake news,

:00:25. > :00:29.not even fake tan is on this show. Does the genuine article, analysis

:00:30. > :00:39.and maybe a bit wake up that make up. Joining me is Stuart Cosgrove

:00:40. > :00:46.and make soup at a line on. Let's find out what is happening around

:00:47. > :00:51.the grounds. Let's start with Chris McLoughlin who is watching Celtic

:00:52. > :00:57.against Motherwell. 2-0 to the home side. Mobot kept them at bay for a

:00:58. > :01:05.good 30 miserable gifting the champions a penalty. -- Dembele

:01:06. > :01:14.Julie converted for goal number 27 of the season. Pearson had a chance

:01:15. > :01:21.for Motherwell but they have not created much. Celtic on course for

:01:22. > :01:27.victory. Hearts at home to Inverness. Let's say good afternoon

:01:28. > :01:35.to Jonathan. Hearts 1-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle. 13 matches they

:01:36. > :01:42.have gone without a Premiership win. It looked like that my change. A

:01:43. > :01:49.free header to make it 1-0 and Inverness almost going into the lead

:01:50. > :01:58.again. The ball going back of the post. Shamarko put them 1-0 in

:01:59. > :02:06.front. Hearts tried to hit back. A deflected shot off the crossbar.

:02:07. > :02:09.Eventually, Hearts and away past the Inverness Caledonian Thistle

:02:10. > :02:16.defence. There was Sutchuin-Djoum with the finish to make it 1-1. It

:02:17. > :02:19.is on a knife edge at the moment of before that moment, Hearts had

:02:20. > :02:28.looked the most likely to get three points but it is anybody's game. Now

:02:29. > :02:37.for Ross County against St Johnstone. 1-1. Co-op Bank in it

:02:38. > :02:45.thanks to current's finish. St Johnstone will be furious. They took

:02:46. > :02:51.the lead was that it was not McClean who put it home as you will see on

:02:52. > :02:59.the screen. -- MacLean. It was an own goal. County hit the post. It

:03:00. > :03:07.sounds like a classic but it has not been. It is warming up nicely. Some

:03:08. > :03:15.classic drama at Tynecastle. Real drama at Tynecastle. Just as you

:03:16. > :03:20.left, a penalty to Hearts when Sutchuin-Djoum went down. Walker

:03:21. > :03:27.stepped up to take a penalty but fantastic save has kept the

:03:28. > :03:33.scoreline at Tynecastle 1-1. It is all heating up. Let's check the

:03:34. > :03:38.temper ger Firhill with Partick Thistle against Hamilton. Good

:03:39. > :03:40.afternoon. You join me here at Firhill as Partick Thistle GOTO-

:03:41. > :03:45.afternoon. You join me here at zero in front. Both the goals coming

:03:46. > :03:52.from Chris Dillon. The first came after 68 minutes with a header from

:03:53. > :03:57.a cross on the left-hand side. This time Callum booed down the left-hand

:03:58. > :04:01.side. The ball was delivered in perfectly for Dillon to hit it

:04:02. > :04:08.beyond Gary Woods. It looks as though the three points are heading

:04:09. > :04:11.to Partick Thistle this afternoon. Let's drop into the championship and

:04:12. > :04:18.find out how the leaders are bearing. Raith Rovers 1-1 hit

:04:19. > :04:25.Burnley on. Great Rovers looking for bearing. Raith Rovers 1-1 hit

:04:26. > :04:31.their first win in 14. -- Hibernian. I Burnley are not at their best

:04:32. > :04:38.today. Jason Cummings with a wonderful free kick into the top

:04:39. > :04:50.corner. Raith Rovers one, Hibernian one. All square in the match between

:04:51. > :04:57.Morton and Falkirk. The other score, Dumbarton 2-0 United. Where shall we

:04:58. > :05:04.start? We will start with Ross County against St Johnstone. A real

:05:05. > :05:10.Dash of controversy. I think so. It looked to me as if St Johnstone

:05:11. > :05:16.should have been given a penalty after the Ross County defender

:05:17. > :05:23.handled on the line. It was like a volleyball punt. It was classically

:05:24. > :05:26.hand to ball. For some reason or another, the referee was

:05:27. > :05:31.discourteous and did not award a penalty. So we move on in life. I

:05:32. > :05:39.will not let things like that bother me. Not after the 5-2 result against

:05:40. > :05:44.Celtic. Let's move on to Celtic against Motherwell. 2-0 defeat,

:05:45. > :05:55.given what has this week, that would not be a bad result, would it? It is

:05:56. > :06:01.a defeat. You are never happy with a defeat. Yes, conceding seven and

:06:02. > :06:09.then two. There is a difference. There will not be a story there for

:06:10. > :06:15.Motherwell. It is a defeat. Going to Celtic Park, it is not really a

:06:16. > :06:18.surprise. Nevertheless, whoever plays against them, they want a

:06:19. > :06:23.result against them and they are disappointed. I had the This'll

:06:24. > :06:33.against Hamilton won down as a draw. against Hamilton won down as a draw.

:06:34. > :06:39.-- This'll. A really good substitute turned the game and scored both

:06:40. > :06:47.goals. They have been a wee bit of a thorn in my side knocking St

:06:48. > :06:56.Johnstone out of the cup. I see them as going top six. I see them as

:06:57. > :07:05.during that and, for the long-term, maintaining that position. Hearts

:07:06. > :07:10.against Inverness is quite a match. Hearts have been unlucky, I should

:07:11. > :07:15.say. They hit the bar. Saying that, just before they got a penalty,

:07:16. > :07:29.Billy McKay headed to the post. Plenty of incidents. Sutchuin-Djoum

:07:30. > :07:34.got the goal. From the African Nations cup, let's go to the FA Cup

:07:35. > :07:38.and the last extent weekend in England of the most intriguing ties

:07:39. > :07:43.had to be Premiership Burnley against non-league Lincoln City.

:07:44. > :07:47.Let's find out what happened from John Murray. Non-league knocking top

:07:48. > :07:52.flight at of the FA Cup is a rare bird in diesel to any the second

:07:53. > :07:56.time it has happened in 30 years. The National League leaders went toe

:07:57. > :08:03.went toe to toe with Burnley. The link big number nine when physical

:08:04. > :08:07.and nickel Joey Barton, who, on another day might have been sent

:08:08. > :08:12.off. Bernie had an off day in front of goal and Lincoln Bosma

:08:13. > :08:19.masterstroke was scoring in the 89th minute when Raggett scored from

:08:20. > :08:25.close range. Not enough time to respond and so it is FA Cup history

:08:26. > :08:32.for Lincoln City. They have fared better in the last 16 than the last

:08:33. > :08:39.time they got there in 1887. Yes, I was alive in those games. I remember

:08:40. > :08:47.Corinthians. -- in those days. They got knocked out by, guess who?

:08:48. > :08:55.Rangers. I think it was 2-0. Well done! I do not know. St Mirren are

:08:56. > :09:04.hosting new Saints from the Premiership league. Sandra Brown is

:09:05. > :09:09.at Palmerston for us now. Is the place filling up nicely? It is not.

:09:10. > :09:13.at Palmerston for us now. Is the It is very disappointing. Just over

:09:14. > :09:18.half an hour to go till kick-off. Dundee United players are on the

:09:19. > :09:22.park. There just waiting on Queens to come to start the pre-match.

:09:23. > :09:25.Should be interesting is that there has not been match between the to

:09:26. > :09:31.teams in the championship. Expecting has not been match between the to

:09:32. > :09:36.it to be a tight cup tie. They are without Scott Mercer and Joe

:09:37. > :09:44.Thomson, who are cup tied. The manager has made four changes to the

:09:45. > :09:49.side. With half an hour to go, here, it should be interesting. Is the low

:09:50. > :09:53.crowd due to the fact it is on TV and a lot of viewers will be

:09:54. > :10:08.brushing up their gay lick? Could well be. -- Gaelic. It will be

:10:09. > :10:13.tricky for them. Down now, Queen of the South are not bad team at all.

:10:14. > :10:23.They are a good team. They are capable scoring goals. It will be

:10:24. > :10:29.tricky. They will be looking on with interest. There will be a

:10:30. > :10:34.disappointing crowd at that one. Dundee United fans will pretend they

:10:35. > :10:39.were never in that cup. What about Motherwell and after their 7-2

:10:40. > :10:44.defeat against Aberdeen, they are now at Celtic Park. What is

:10:45. > :10:47.happening now? Still 2-0. Celtic really dominating rather than

:10:48. > :10:54.demolishing Motherwell this afternoon. Motherwell have done well

:10:55. > :10:58.to frustrate the champions here this afternoon for long spells are

:10:59. > :11:02.probably worth pointing out that Motherwell had two huge injury

:11:03. > :11:09.problems. Hamill pulling up before the game even started. Manus pulled

:11:10. > :11:13.up and he was taken off. Motherwell missing two key defenders this

:11:14. > :11:20.afternoon but Celtic on calls to win this, no doubt about that. It omits

:11:21. > :11:30.to go, 2-0 to Celtic. -- with ten minutes to go. The rain is starting

:11:31. > :11:35.to fall here at Tynecastle. It remains one apiece. They came here

:11:36. > :11:37.with a terrible record. 13 matches in the Premiership without a

:11:38. > :11:47.victory. They did look for a while they might be on course for three

:11:48. > :11:51.points. A struggling Inverness Caledonian Thistle side. Inverness

:11:52. > :11:54.flooded the midfield and made life difficult for Hearts. In the second

:11:55. > :12:04.half they went for more width. Jamie Walker came onto the pitch. Across

:12:05. > :12:12.men that Sutchuin-Djoum got the equaliser. Hearts will be frustrated

:12:13. > :12:21.they have not got all three points. It remains club are just a few

:12:22. > :12:27.minutes left, Hearts 1-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle is. Ross County

:12:28. > :12:33.1-1 St Johnstone. A second-half equaliser has this one heading for a

:12:34. > :12:39.share of the points. The shot just wide. The goal came and fell onto

:12:40. > :12:48.the path of Craig Curran. St Johnstone had gone ahead. Steve

:12:49. > :12:53.MacLean pressured enough to force the own goal. They also hit a post

:12:54. > :12:57.early on. The ball came straight back and he conceded a valve that

:12:58. > :13:01.touching. That was rather strange. There should have been at least one

:13:02. > :13:05.penalty. Martin Woods handled on the line that got away with Richard

:13:06. > :13:12.Foster looking to also have been caught. County hit the post in the

:13:13. > :13:13.first half. Overall St Johnstone probably feel more agreed they are

:13:14. > :13:19.not in front but they are not. probably feel more agreed they are

:13:20. > :13:28.fancied Dembele for another hat-trick today but it looks like he

:13:29. > :13:34.might be outdone. In the last couple of minutes, it you talk about the

:13:35. > :13:39.Firhill for thrills but that phrase was furthest from the mind in the

:13:40. > :13:47.first half. 20 of endeavour but no real end product. Kris Doolan has

:13:48. > :13:52.provided the end product. The Chris Erskine cross was put beyond Gary

:13:53. > :13:59.Woods. The same routine again. This time Calum Booth with a cross from

:14:00. > :14:05.the left hand side. It is still Partick Thistle 2-0 Hamilton. Into

:14:06. > :14:14.the championship and Brian McLoughlin joins us with the latest

:14:15. > :14:18.on Raith Rovers against Hibernian. The new manager took to the pitch

:14:19. > :14:22.before kick-off. He was given a warm round of applause by the Raith

:14:23. > :14:24.faithful. They must be really happy with the way their team has played

:14:25. > :14:28.faithful. They must be really happy this afternoon. They have dominated

:14:29. > :14:35.the first half without creating too many chances. These two teams have

:14:36. > :14:41.drawn the two matches earlier in the season. They did manage to take the

:14:42. > :14:46.lead seven minutes into the second half. Ryan Stevenson, around 22

:14:47. > :14:51.yards out, on the half volley, rifling the ball into the top corner

:14:52. > :14:55.of the net. A couple of changes introducing Chris Humphrey and

:14:56. > :15:04.Martin Boyle. Jason coming in with a free kick. It curled round the wall

:15:05. > :15:10.and into the top corner. No chance for the goalkeeper. Another cross

:15:11. > :15:14.and all the ball needed was a touch and it would have ended up in the

:15:15. > :15:17.back of the net. Coming is again with a shot from 25 yards out this

:15:18. > :15:30.time. -- Cummings. Hibernian undergoing gay wobble.

:15:31. > :15:36.They drew their last game at Easter Road. Is altitude sickness getting

:15:37. > :15:41.to them at the top of the table? -- undergoing a wobble. None of the

:15:42. > :15:51.teams are easy. Capable sides in the Championship. Teams sick very tight

:15:52. > :15:56.against Hibs, and hit on the counterattack. It's not easy and

:15:57. > :16:03.drawers can happen. I still believe they will run away quite comfortably

:16:04. > :16:11.and when the league. But it shows you how good the teams in the

:16:12. > :16:17.Championship R. Capable players,... And they have Yogi Hughes in there

:16:18. > :16:21.as well. I thought he would make a difference. It would be very good if

:16:22. > :16:27.he maintained Raith Rovers' regrouping, shall we say, but has

:16:28. > :16:30.there been a goal anywhere astronaut Stuart, tremendous credit for you

:16:31. > :16:44.for keeping calm. There has been another goal. Ross County 1-2 St

:16:45. > :16:47.Johnstone. Turning in the box, setting one high into the net, and

:16:48. > :16:51.his timing is perfect. Just approaching injury time with St

:16:52. > :16:56.Johnstone ahead. Stuart, you have approaching injury time with St

:16:57. > :17:00.been talking up Chris Cain to me for a long time. He's not been able to

:17:01. > :17:05.score as many goals that we would like, but that was a real peach.

:17:06. > :17:09.He's a tough young kid, a really good striker. In lots of ways he's

:17:10. > :17:17.somebody who came with their very hard job of trying to replace Stevie

:17:18. > :17:23.May, who is almost irreplaceable in the minds of a lot of supporters.

:17:24. > :17:26.Hold on to Kane. He might prove to be the matchwinner in Dingwall. Kris

:17:27. > :17:33.Doolan has proven matchwinner at Firhill. He certainly was the man at

:17:34. > :17:36.Firhill this afternoon. Came on as a second-half substitute, lighting up

:17:37. > :17:41.the goal with -- lighting up the game with two headed goals. The

:17:42. > :17:48.first was a cross from fellow substitute Chris Erskine, and Kris

:17:49. > :17:52.Doolan was there to bury it. They few minutes later, Doolan again

:17:53. > :17:58.getting a yard of space inside the Accies six yard box as Callum Booth

:17:59. > :18:02.sent in the cross. A poor first half display from both sides, no

:18:03. > :18:07.sent in the cross. A poor first half creativity. Livening up in the

:18:08. > :18:11.second half. Thomas Cerny, in his 200th appearance in Scottish

:18:12. > :18:16.football, keeping a clean sheet, but Kris Doolan with a double gives

:18:17. > :18:21.Partick Thistle a 2-0 victory at Hamilton and puts them into the top

:18:22. > :18:25.six. Creeping into the top six at least until tomorrow where Dundee or

:18:26. > :18:30.Kilmarnock could overhaul them. They have tough matches. It's a big win

:18:31. > :18:33.for Alan Archibald and company. Excellent victory and very important

:18:34. > :18:39.after a poor start to the season Thistle had. Now they are in the top

:18:40. > :18:45.six. Playing well. It hasn't been pretty today, but 2-0, a victory is

:18:46. > :18:49.excellent. The goal-scorer Kris Doolan, every season he scores

:18:50. > :18:53.double figures. He has proved to be the difference between the sides

:18:54. > :18:59.again today. The problem has been converting chances they create. We

:19:00. > :19:03.see them every week. I think they have a fairly fluid midfield and

:19:04. > :19:08.they create chances. They should be converting more than they are.

:19:09. > :19:14.That's a spine to the season they are putting together now. They are

:19:15. > :19:20.looking forward now, they go top six, and I feel they are the team

:19:21. > :19:24.that will end up in the top six. Full-time at Dingwall, the match

:19:25. > :19:27.between Ross County and St Johnstone. Did the Chris Kane late

:19:28. > :19:35.goal proved to be the difference between the sides? It did. Chris

:19:36. > :19:41.Kane, as you say, he came off the bench and is their hero. Winning a

:19:42. > :19:43.brilliant finish inside the box. Last minute, a real dagger to Ross

:19:44. > :19:47.County after they fought back into Last minute, a real dagger to Ross

:19:48. > :19:51.it. St Johnstone will probably feel they deserve it. They went ahead

:19:52. > :19:59.when Mick Everly touched home under pressure from Steve McCain. Liam

:20:00. > :20:03.Craig hit one later on from a corner. Keith Watson powered in a

:20:04. > :20:07.header. Martin Woods on the line clearly handled the ball but the

:20:08. > :20:12.referee didn't see it and didn't give it. But Ross County got back on

:20:13. > :20:20.level terms. They had already hit the post with Michael Gardyne. Boyce

:20:21. > :20:24.had gone close. Guard eyeing slotted past Sandy Clark. You thought they

:20:25. > :20:31.would take three points, but St Johnstone responded with Chris Kane

:20:32. > :20:36.coming off the bench to be the hero. Mixu, what can you say about St

:20:37. > :20:41.Johnstone? Stuart could talk about them for hours, but it's another

:20:42. > :20:45.impressive season. It's excellent. It's almost a given for them.

:20:46. > :20:50.Exactly. They play the system so well and they have players who fit

:20:51. > :20:53.into it so well. Really efficient, goal-scorers, solid out the back.

:20:54. > :21:05.They don't push full-backs forward to much. They have good, capable

:21:06. > :21:08.players. Good points in a difficult place. The big man gambolling about

:21:09. > :21:17.looking to make sure his passport is up to place. Where is Armenia? That

:21:18. > :21:21.would be a dream for any St Johnstone fan, for us to return to

:21:22. > :21:26.Europe. But there is so much more to play yet. If we stay top six, and

:21:27. > :21:34.it's starting to look like we might... Could that be the victory

:21:35. > :21:39.that shows us? We are in such a position now where a team or two

:21:40. > :21:43.teams needs to go almost unbeaten towards the break. That could be

:21:44. > :21:48.Kilmarnock or Dundee, but in order to stay unbeaten, they have to go to

:21:49. > :21:52.places like Celtic and Pittodrie and win, and that seems a highly

:21:53. > :21:55.unlikely scenario from where we are now. I'm not going to count my

:21:56. > :22:00.chickens by any means, but it's a great victory for us to go top six.

:22:01. > :22:08.The goals being counted at Stark's Park by Brian MacLachlan. Just on

:22:09. > :22:15.the one hand today. Fairly simple, finishing 1-1. New Raith Rovers boss

:22:16. > :22:19.John Hughes on the pitch applauding his players and shaking everybody's

:22:20. > :22:21.hand. A very good performance by Raith Rovers today, they dominated

:22:22. > :22:26.proceedings in the first half without creating too many chances. A

:22:27. > :22:31.free kick from Ryan Stevenson was punched away. At the other end, Hibs

:22:32. > :22:37.were not at their best, safe to say, but Jason Cummings came close on one

:22:38. > :22:40.occasion. Firing just wide. Into the second half, seven minutes into the

:22:41. > :22:46.second half when Rovers took the lead. Former Hearts midfielder Ryan

:22:47. > :22:50.Stevenson with a crisp volley from 22 yards out, past the goalkeeper,

:22:51. > :22:57.who had no chance. Hibs responded well. Although the goal came from a

:22:58. > :23:01.free kick. Jason Cummings, the top scorer, with a wonderful left footed

:23:02. > :23:05.free kick around the wall and into the top corner. A couple of half

:23:06. > :23:10.chances after that. Brian Graham adds Jason Cummings came close.

:23:11. > :23:18.Declan McManus had an effort late on for Raith Rovers that was punched

:23:19. > :23:21.away. Just one point for the Championship leaders, but a

:23:22. > :23:26.predictable three points against for the Premiership leaders Celtic, who

:23:27. > :23:29.have won at home to Motherwell. 2-0 to the home side. Domestic

:23:30. > :23:32.have won at home to Motherwell. 2-0 number 31 unbeaten since the start

:23:33. > :23:37.of the season. By Celtic's high standards, this wasn't a classic.

:23:38. > :23:45.Motherwell set up to frustrate, which they did for half now. They

:23:46. > :23:49.gifted the champions the lead. Dembele brought down in a box and he

:23:50. > :24:02.made it 1-0. A cracking solo goal before the break from James Forrest.

:24:03. > :24:09.The game petered out in the second half. Three points for Celtic and

:24:10. > :24:14.you have to call them, the unstoppables, they are not forced up

:24:15. > :24:24.in. Full-time at Tynecastle. Hearts against Inverness Caledonian

:24:25. > :24:28.Thistle. It has just finished Hearts 1-1 Inverness. They really battling

:24:29. > :24:31.performance from Richie Foran's side. Tremarco, the left-back,

:24:32. > :24:34.completely free to head the ball into the net for the first goal. His

:28:20. > :28:25.full-time at the Den. Millwall are through to the quarterfinals. A

:28:26. > :28:29.third Premier League scalp in a row. Leicester City have fallen at the

:28:30. > :28:36.Lion's then. Supporters on the pitch. They are enjoying this moment

:28:37. > :28:40.greatly. And they have deserved it, this Millwall team. They have been

:28:41. > :28:46.down to ten men for the majority of the second half but they have fought

:28:47. > :28:50.like Lions, very apt. It is their nickname. They have fought in the

:28:51. > :28:53.second love to get the victory and Shaun Cummings eventually got the

:28:54. > :28:58.breakthrough at the death. A well taken goal from a full-back who ran

:28:59. > :29:04.his socks off all day long. It's party time at The Den with Millwall

:29:12. > :29:17.two stoppage time goal is to give them a precious point. They now move

:29:18. > :29:21.eight points clear of St Mirren in the automatic relegation spot. It

:29:22. > :29:29.shows a lot of fight from Ayr United. They were a man down. To

:29:30. > :29:33.come back to 2-2 is an excellent result for them. It puts St Mirren

:29:34. > :29:40.in an even more difficult position. Next week's matches even bigger now.

:29:41. > :29:44.Their goose might well be cooked. They have two cup games that will be

:29:53. > :29:57.great for fans, but I think the club, more generally, would take

:29:58. > :30:01.survival. If Dumbarton had won that, I would say they could be your team

:30:02. > :30:03.of the day in Off The Ball because they would ensure they avoided the

:30:04. > :30:08.automatic relegation spot but it's they would ensure they avoided the

:30:14. > :30:17.put a bet on St Mirren doing a great Houdini trick? I don't bet! Time for

:30:18. > :30:34.the classified results. And we kick the

:34:46. > :34:51.today. Brighton Hove Albion still at the top. Newcastle play Aston

:34:52. > :34:55.Villa later. At the foot of the table, another big defeat for

:34:56. > :35:01.Rotherham United. They are 12 behind Blackburn Rovers. Blackburn Rovers

:35:02. > :35:04.play Manchester United later in the FA Cup. Wigan another team in the

:35:05. > :35:13.bottom three. We can hear from the St

:35:14. > :35:20.manager after their 2-1 win at Ross County. A similar type of

:35:21. > :35:26.performance we had last time when we started really well and dominated

:35:27. > :35:35.the ball. Hit the post. Maybe a fortunate goal, it might be an own

:35:36. > :35:44.goal. The first half, they had a couple of shots but we did not feel

:35:45. > :35:56.under pressure. The final ball just let us down. An incredible save.

:35:57. > :36:04.Another good move when they hit the bar. Probably should have had a

:36:05. > :36:11.penalty. To lose a goal the way we did, it was good play. They failed

:36:12. > :36:18.to put it away well. I was disappointed for the players. They

:36:19. > :36:26.showed great character. I thought it was a cracking game. I do think we

:36:27. > :36:30.deserved it with the number of chances we created. As a manager, is

:36:31. > :36:41.that anything sweeter than a stoppage time winner? No. Absolutely

:36:42. > :36:45.fantastic. Especially 1-0. No, it is always sweet when you win but that

:36:52. > :36:56.then you get that. A late bonus. Most welcome. Before we went on air,

:36:57. > :37:01.is said a point would be a great yield from today. I thought so. It

:37:02. > :37:06.is a cliche to say going up to Dingwall is not easy. St Johnstone

:37:07. > :37:13.have done a cake over the seasons but realistically I thought a 1-1

:37:14. > :37:16.draw was a likely outcome. The last-minute goal has given St

:37:17. > :37:21.Johnstone all three points foot of it was a great goal. It was a game

:37:22. > :37:28.that they would be proud to win any game that goal. Well done to him. He

:37:29. > :37:31.is a young guy doing well. St Johnstone deserved it. On merit they

:37:32. > :37:40.did. They started so well the match and hit the post early on. You

:37:41. > :37:44.create that. There is an old theory in Scottish football. They say, if

:37:45. > :37:50.you do not get a penalty, it balances out over the season. St

:37:51. > :37:56.Johnstone is due two Stonewall ones over the weeks. Hearts did not

:37:57. > :38:01.manage to win so it was even sweeter victory, perhaps. We have run out of
