: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

: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

:22:22. > :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

: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

:29:18. > :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

: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
:36:46. > :36:51.late, everyone is probably settle for a draw. OK, take a point and
: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
