Good afternoon. Welcome to the results show, like Sport Relief, but

we are not raising cash, we may not even raise a smile, but we might

raise your blood pressure with the latest on the title and relegation

battles. Michael Grant from the Times newspaper and the Falkirk

manager Peter Houston are our guests, you will find out why Peter

is full of the joys of spring. And now details of the lunchtime match,

second bottom, Kilmarnock, against Premiership leaders Celtic, the

story of the match provided by our reporter. Just as Celtic looked like

they were going to have another title stumble, Tom Rogic came off

the bench to score a goal of the season contender. Nearly 90 minutes

on the clock, as he let rip from nearly 30 yards out, and his shot

flew into the top corner, it was a painful blow for Kilmarnock, who

flew into the top corner, it was a were homing in on their third point

of the season against Celtic and were even pushing to win the match

themselves. Many passes to take from the game for Kilmarnock, but they

remain in a perilous position. Celtic missed chances in the first

half, but the longer the game went, the more Kilmarnock started to

believe, and their hopes were finally extinguished in spectacular

style, with the explosive Rogic winner. STUDIO: I have not seen

Celtic players smiling at the end of the match for a while, but with good

reason. That was a big goal, from Rogic he hit that into the top

corner, and it was more relief, because the way they celebrated the

goal, it shows the pressure is starting to boil. We can see how

Aberdeen are faring, they are in second and they are away at

Motherwell. Scott McDonald once denied Celtic a title, might have

sent one in their direction, he has equalised. Aberdeen were leading

thanks to a Kenny McLean penalty, controversial, but McDonald has just

won a game of head tennis to make it 1-1. What about Hearts against St

Johnstone. St Johnstone are leading 2-0, two corners, two headers, from

Murray Davidson, Saints have been dominant this afternoon. And back to

Fir Park Stadium, another goal. Celtic fans will be delighted,

Motherwell have scored again, they are now leading Aberdeen 2-1. It was

a bad mistake at the back by Aberdeen. It was a lovely effort.

The Aberdeen support, they have been silenced. Aberdeen are trailing

Motherwell now 2-1. And now to the Highlands, the Highland derby, Ross

County against Highlands, the Highland derby, Ross

Remarkably, Inverness are leading 3-0, typically, you have your

neighbours over for a party and they go and ruin it. There was a stunning

volley from Miles Storey, putting Inverness completely on top.

volley from Miles Storey, putting Hamilton against Partick Thistle,

this is our fourth Premiership match. Hamilton and Partick

Thistle's previous meetings this season have been draws, and guess

what, it is one item one at the moment. -- 1-1 at the moment.

Mathias Pogba brought them level, and we are looking at another

stalemate. We are staring at a dramatic afternoon in the title

race. Aberdeen were leading, but in the space of hardly time for us to

draw breath, they are 2-1 down. It looks a big day and a big weekend in

the title race, for Celtic to get the sensational late winner, that

was a terrific strike, in a game they hadn't played well in, and now

Aberdeen have conceded twice. That could be four points and Celtic

still have a game in hand and suddenly that looks like a gap. We

wondered if Aberdeen had the bottle and the character to maintain the

title challenge will stop it might have disappeared by the afternoon.

title challenge will stop it might Disappointing, they were 1-0 up, but

it shows you how fickle the lead is, Motherwell have counter-attacked

well and they have got themselves back into it with Scott McDonald,

and now Aberdeen's title hopes looked like they are crumbling.

They're in present record of late is crumbling, they went into this game,

four games on the spend, surprising they are losing to St Johnstone? --

Hearts great record of late is crumbling. St Johnstone have been

very erratic all season, but when they click, they are well-organised

and difficult to break down and Murray Davidson has a goal threat.

That will put a bit of space between them and Ross County. They needed

that. The inconsistencies this season have been hard to work out,

out today Hearts look like a shadow of the team they have been so far

this season, but credit to St Johnstone. It looks like a big

victory for Inverness, important win, if they maintain that lead.

Ross County, it is easier for them to win a League Cup than win a derby

match, their record is poor in the derby match. They have the cup

parade after the game, and that will be a dampener for them, on the back

of a hiding from Inverness. Hamilton against Partick Thistle, we thought

it would be tight, and it was looking good for a Hamilton victory,

that would have been their first home win since September. Six months

since the last time victory, great result last week against Inverness.

If they can get a result today, they have a bit of distance. More drama

at Fir Park and I think that is a red card. It is falling apart for

Aberdeen, this is a dreadful elbow from Barry Robson, the substitute.

He lashed out at Scott McDonald, from Barry Robson, the substitute.

was flawed, and now Aberdeen are down to ten men, Barry Roux ups and

has been sent off, he is making the long walk at the moment and he is

being heckled by the Motherwell supporters -- Barry Robson has been

sent off. We have played 79 minutes, Aberdeen are trailing 2-1 and now

they are down to ten men, red card Aberdeen are trailing 2-1 and now

for Barry Robson. They have it all to do, Aberdeen, but it was a good

day for Celtic, and we can hear from both managers, first of all Ronny

Deila. It is the best way to win, both managers, first of all Ronny

sometimes, we don't play well, but we fight and the fans were

unbelievable today. We could give them something and that is a moment

we will remember for a long time. You felt it was slipping away? Yes,

we did not play well at all, but sometimes we just have two get the

points and that is what we did today, so important. I've

experienced defeats in my career, as a player and manager, but that is

the hardest one I've had to take, because the players deserved to win

the game, it has been us, without a shadow of a we not deserve to lose.

We have lost to a wonder goal and we are devastated to have lost a game

like that. -- without a shadow of a doubt, we did not deserve to lose.

Ronny Deila looks three happy. You can see from the reaction at Rugby

Park, what it meant to Celtic, and also that they were under pressure,

they were feeling the heat from Aberdeen. That may be is going to

evaporate this afternoon, but at that stage you could see in the

reaction from Ronny Deila and the fans. Delight for him but despair

reaction from Ronny Deila and the for Lee Clark, but he has come out

very bullish at the end of the match and he has said they are staying up

no problem, he might live to regret that. He might regret saying that,

Kilmarnock have a lot of work to stay up, and this result will give

Dundee United great hope going into the derby tomorrow. I think you

should keep that within yourself, believed within the team, and the

club, that you can stay up, but don't say it publicly. I believe

there has been a goal at New Douglas don't say it publicly. I believe

Park. 84 minutes gone, it has all been turned around, the goal-scorer,

is first for the club, Ryan Edwards, the Australian. It was a great hit

into the top corner. Kris Doolan had just come on as a substitute to --

two minutes earlier, and he helped with the goal. It is not looking

very good for Hamilton. They have not won at home in six months. Greg

Docherty put them in front, but then Mathias Pogba headed Partick Thistle

level. At the moment is looking good Mathias Pogba headed Partick Thistle

for Partick Thistle, but not so good for Hamilton Accies. What is

for Partick Thistle, but not so good happening at Fir Park any more

drama? The drama continues, Aberdeen are pressing for the equaliser, they

are down to ten men, after Barry Robson was sent off for an elbow in

the face of Scott McDonald, and they had just picked up a free kick on

the edge of the box, Jonny Hayes is desperate to give this to Kenny

McLean. They are down 2-1, but remember they went in front bench to

given in controversial circumstances given in controversial circumstances

-- they went in front thanks to a Kenny McLean penalty. Motherwell

have come back and are now leading. Incredible set of circumstances, but

the Aberdeen fans are silent at the moment. We can go to Tynecastle

again, for an update. Eight minutes left. Saints fans are enjoying the

spring sunshine in Tynecastle, they are leading 2-0, but it does not

tell the full story. St Johnstone have dominated this game from the

outset, the two goals have come from set pieces, corner kicks, Hearts

have received many plaudits, they come into the game after four

straight clean sheets, but the first corner that came into the box, the

Hearts box, they failed to cope, and Murray Davidson had a simple header

to score. Ten minutes later, another corner, it came into the box, it was

allowed to bounce and there was Murray Davidson again to fire home.

It has been a terrific performance on St Johnstone, their best of the

season, probably. They have dominated the game. Lee Alexander

has made a few good saves in the goal for Hearts. Sam Nicholson has

now been introduced. Jamie Walker with a shot from 30 yards, which was

just over the crossbar for Hearts, but that is too little too late and

it looks as though their run is coming to an end. In the sunshine St

Johnstone are leading 2-0. It looks like Inverness's losing streak is

coming to an end, they are 3-0 in front against Ross County, their

local rivals. Inverness, very comfortable, and the away fans are

thrilled at what they are seeing, very clinical but four months.

thrilled at what they are seeing, Something John Hughes's side have

been lacking. Liam Polworth but them Something John Hughes's side have

in front with a competent finish, from outside the box -- put them in

front. Inverness all of a sudden were very comfortable, and it was

wrapped up just after half-time, Miles Storey with a stunning volley

from the edge of the box, a way past Gary Woodland and that sent the fans

wild, and after that they have been in control, Ross County struggling

to create chances. Liam Polworth hit the bar for Inverness as they look

to pick them off, and the cup final party has been dampened by this

performance. Any Ross County viewers might need a little pick me up, so

we will provide them with one, here they are, lifting the League Cup six

days ago. Tremendous victory for them against Hibernian. And a great

victory for football in the Highlands. Absolutely, to win the

League Cup, the National League Cup, that is great for them, but since

then they have had a tough week, St Johnstone in the week and then they

had to lift themselves for the derby today, but that has not worked. Ross

County, important for them to capitalise on this commercially and

also in terms of getting the supporters interested in football up

there. I think they do that pretty well, to be honest, there is not a

big population in the Highlands and well, to be honest, there is not a

I think they have most of the Northern area and they also have a

big fan base in Inverness, but that is a great boost to them and that

linkup will go to parts of Scotland it has never been to before -- that

linkup. There will be an open top bus parade through the town

afterwards, not sure how much the players will enjoy that, but good

luck to them, anyway. And now to the Championship. Could any of them

match this for sure eggs aeration? Peter Burns's team at home -- sheer

exhilaration. It didn't start that way. Again, in

behind us, squared and a simple tap in for Barrie McKay. I can't believe

you are grumpy. At half-time I was delighted with 2-0

you are grumpy. At half-time I was character. Quality strike. Right in

the top corner, that brings you back into the game and we never gave up,

we were winning second balls, we picked up the scraps. Miles who

joined us at Christmas went round the goalkeeper and great quality to

finish. Almost the last kick of the ball, Kevin doesn't give up on the

corner kick, he takes on the defender. Fires it in. You always

ask strikers to get across defenders defender. Fires it in. You always

and he does that. The substitutes worked for me yesterday, delighted

to get the three points but probably a bit fortunate. Substitutes worked

for him, tactical genius of Peter Houston or a wee bit of ineptitude

at the back from Rangers towards the end? The defending was poor,

careless at least on Rangers' behalf. Both teams, you would say

that about the goals. For Kirk might have been tied for the Rangers'

goals... Uncharitable to beat it seems but your team have shown great

consistency all season. Lost three matches and one at Falkirk. We

wanted to keep that record and we still do. It looked unlikely at 2-0

but it shows you the character of the players. This St Johnstone

players have scored again. 3-0 up away to Hearts. Provide us with

details. You got it right on. Darnell Fisher slipped the ball

beyond Neil Alexander. Celebrating in front of the St Johnstone fans,

over 400 of them from Perth. Hearts fans pouring out of Tynecastle. The

likelihood is, if there are any Hearts fans they will be booed off

again. Magnificent performance by Saints, two minutes left of play.

That's magnificent performance last night from Falkirk guarantees your

place in the play-offs at the end of the season and the other teams in

the play-off positions meet tonight. Raith Rovers, for place at home to

Hibs in third. Runners-up in the League Cup final on Sunday, they

were in a Scottish Cup quarterfinal replay in Inverness just a few days

later. Like on this occasion, they prevailed with two goals from

Anthony Stokes. You can give Hibs an awful lot of

credit because people were expecting them to be on a downer after losing

the cup final but it looked a them to be on a downer after losing

horrible fixture for them to face Inverness. We know their cup record.

Also good for Anthony Stokes to get a couple. There has been attention

on his lack of goals for Hibs. Attention on Alan Stubbs, was this a

bad move to get him in? Disrupt a forward line that was working. A

good night for them. Peter, you and I were talking about this earlier,

the fixture run into the end of the Championship then the intent, three

games a week for Hibs. Tough but they will need to stand up with a

big squad, they have lots of players. They will need the squad

players. Difficult when you start mixing up your side. Sometimes you

get inconsistency, that is what I am hoping for. It is vitally important

for Falkirk to finish second and not third. It helps immensely because it

means you can have four games to try and get that Premier League.

Otherwise you play third and fourth in six games is a lot tougher.

Second bottom in the Premiership, could they come up against Peter's

side, if they were watching that match last night in the Falkirk

stadium, they will be studying that closely. Lee Clark has said today I

am certain we will stay up. Maybe he is looking at the bottom of the

Premier League but if they end up in the play-offs, they will probably

have Falkirk or Hibs to contend with and neither of those will be...

Full-time scores beginning to trickle in. New Douglas Park. Kenny

Crawford can fill us in. The home side denied another home

victory. They have not had one since September 19 exactly six months ago.

It looked like they would get one when Docherty put the Accies ahead

from 12 yards. Great work on the left. He held up the ball well and

rolled it in at an angle across the box from Greg Docherty, 19-year-old

who has been with the Accies since nine years old. Partick Thistle were

struggling to get into the match. Straight after the break Pogba

headed in at the back post. Paul Pogba was scoring for Juventus

against Bayern Munich at the Alianza arena. Today he is scoring at New

Douglas Park against Hamilton Accies. I am not sure which one you

prefer that he was happy with his equaliser, it had at the back post

from six yards out. 1-1. 2-1 and the turnaround was complete when Ryan

Edwards, the Australian, scoring his first goal for Partick Thistle.

Another header. In fact it into the top right-hand corner from a Dylan

Cross. 2-1 to Partick Thistle. It has made the home fans boo as they

leave New Douglas Park. I think the home fans will be happy

at Palmerston will stop Queen of the South of Dumbarton win.

As the scoreline suggests it was a comfortable afternoon for the home

side. They controlled it from start to finish. Aleec Harris hit the base

of the post after five and is to give Dumbarton and early warning but

it took until the 33rd minute for the first gold to come, Dan Crowley.

Derek Lyle into the top corner from close range to give Queens a two

Gold kitchen. The veteran striker scored his second and Queens' third.

Gary Oliver and Harris combined well with the latter scoring a double to

make it 5-0. Fraser right cleared Mark Millar's effort off the line

before substitute Russell knocked the ball across the line to make it

number six. A big win for the Saints? Huge win

for Saints, fourth place in the table. All but secured their top six

spot at the end of the season. For hundreds and Italy St Johnstone fans

inside a crowd of 16,295 giving their players a standing ovation at

the end -- 462. They beat Hearts by 3-0. Opening two goals coming after

the end -- 462. They beat Hearts by the Hearts defence failed to cope

with corners. Murray Davidson into the back of the net. Liam Craig

provided both of the corners. Scoring wrapped up with two minutes

left. Terrific work by David Wotherspoon, nutmeg for Jordan

McGhee. Fisher slipped the ball into the back of the net. Saints captain

Steven Anderson is making a club record this afternoon, record

appearances, 362 appearances. I will doubt he enjoyed any games more than

this afternoon. At Tynecastle. Big news that will have a bearing on

the Championship race? Motherwell against Aberdeen.

This is the afternoon in which the title race takes a huge title swing.

Aberdeen have been defeated at Fir Park. You can hear the applause in

the background. For a Motherwell team that dug out a 2-1 win.

Aberdeen took the lead. Just before half-time from Kenny McLean.

Controversial, not in terms of the award of the kick but Mark McGhee

had a real go at the referee at half-time, it felt Motherwell should

have had a free kick in the build-up to the penalty. That will be

forgotten in the after match interviews. In the second half,

Motherwell turned it around. Scott McDonald is a huge part in denying

Celtic a championship. Stuck it on their way with a headed goal which

levelled the way. William Moult cashing in, a mix-up at the back

between Mark Reynolds and his goalkeeper. 2-1. In between that,

between Mark Reynolds and his red card for Barry Robson, sent off

for a dreadful elbowing of Scott McDonald. What an afternoon for

Motherwell. And what a different afternoon for Aberdeen, finished

with ten men and 2-1 defeat to Motherwell. Big afternoon for

Inverness Caledonian Thistle away to Ross County this afternoon. Martin,

did it finished 3-0 to Cally Bessel? Exactly the sort of scoreline John

Hughes has been crying out for. Rost Raper found space in a similar

position and clipped home. Inverness comfortably ahead. Any chance of a

fightback was quickly extinguished after half-time by Miles Storey fast

Gary Woods. Clinical for the visitors, tactics were spot on. A

couple of early chances. They could have been ahead but the stuffing was

well and truly knocked out over them. With clipped the bar as Cally

Bissell looked to pick off their hosts. The visiting fans dancing in

Dingwall right now. Another high-scoring map chin the

Championship, Morton and Alloa. This was entertaining. Important win

for Jim Duffy was Mac side. Slim hopes of a play-off. Morton took the

lead of a play-off. Morton took the lead on 50 minutes. The faintest of

touches from McCluskey. Six yards out. The second for the home side

came two minutes later. Ross Forbes into the box from a wide area. A

wicked deflection. To soar into the back of the net. Alloa got some hope

with one back from the break. An absolute beauty into the top corner

from the edge of the box. That goal gave the visitors some confidence

that he went close, hitting the post on 57 minutes. The home side

responded to that, getting a third goal on 77 minutes with Declan 's

McManus smashing home from 16 yards out. Johnston getting in, slamming

past the keeper at an angle from 12 yards out. Good afternoon for Morton

but preparing for League 1 football next season it looks like for Alloa.

A treat for fans of our regular and occasional man on a mobile feature,

A treat for fans of our regular and this time a woman on a mobile.

Connie watched the match between Livingston and St Mirren.

What an advert for Scottish football. The ground was bathed in

sunshine and super goals on display. Saints opened the scoring from the

penalty spot spot after a challenge on Karen Gallagher. A perfect spot

kick from Mallan. They drew level. Jamie Langfield got a fantastic save

from Jordan White. McCann and was there to pick up the rebound. A

powerful effort from the edge of the box. Saints got themselves back,

spectacular fashion. 25 yards out Shankland. Dipped over the top of

Mark McCallum. An absolute peach, that is the best way to describe

that goal. Livingston still had life in them, they equalised again.

Charlie initially hit the post but Jordan White was there to tap it

home. Wasn't quite finished either, after 70 minutes Shankland. The

second one was even better than the first one, 30 yards out, top

left-hand corner, sublime. Right foot. The goalkeeper had no chance.

High-scoring weekend so far in the Championship, let's reflect on the

Premiership. Michael, Motherwell 2-1 Aberdeen, Motherwell were written

with flu but Aberdeen will be going up the road feeling well and truly

sick. I saw most of the game in the studio. Motherwell played with lots

of energy and great workrate. It didn't look debilitated to me. I am

sure they didn't, the two managers either. But big day in the title

race. No escaping that. A minute to go out the game at Rugby Park, 0-0

between Kilmarnock and Celtic, you must have been dreaming that

Aberdeen could be top of the table. Of course it was possible but you

look at Aberdeen and you think, they aren't as strong as Celtic, they

don't have the depth of squad. If you look at the results recently,

there have been so many one goal victories. That is great, grinding

out results, but it leaves you vulnerable. Last seven wins all by a

single goal. They had chances to go 2-0 up. No Rooney. If you are only a

single goal. They had chances to go goal ahead, you are vulnerable.

Celtic's title now? Four points ahead. Game in hand? It will be

difficult for Aberdeen now but going back to be Motherwell - Aberdeen

game, difficult, give credit to Motherwell. They came back from that

and there has been a lot of illness and still nick the match. On a

magnificent run, four wins on the spin, they are fifth. -- Bay won the

match. Possible European place. Maybe it for five weeks ago people

were talking about Motherwell being in the play-offs. Credit to Mark

McGhee, he is putting his stamp on the team and getting great results.

He has done the job. Ian Baraclough, when he took over, it looks like it

could have been automatic relegation but now they can go for Europe. We

know how tight the bottom half of the media 's but they are pulling

away. They look like they have a bit of breathing space as a top 16. You

mentioned earlier on, but it looks like the league is beginning to

stabilise slightly. The bottom two are getting slightly detached. The

top six at beginning to form. -- are beginning. Dundee have a couple of

games in hand, they could force their way into the top six. We can

go to the classified results round-up.

We will begin in the Scottish Premiership.

And now to the tables. Celtic opening up a 4-point lead over

And now to the tables. Celtic Aberdeen with a game in hand, have

asked the superior goal difference. asked the superior goal difference.

-- and day face a period goal difference. Dundee United play

Dundee tomorrow. Kilmarnock losing the late goal to Celtic, and they

are still eight points ahead of Dundee United. Rangers are leading

by 11 points at the top in the-cam, even though they lost last night 3-2

against Falkirk -- in the Championship. Dunfermline are ten

points clear at the top of League 1. Just a single point separates

Brechin and Forfar Athletic from Cowdenbeath. It is looking good for

East Fife, they are three points clear at the top.

Leicester City with an excellent win this afternoon away to Crystal

Palace, they are eight points clear at the top. Arsenal in third enjoy a

victory over Everton. We will hear about that shortly. Norwich are out

of the bottom three thanks to a very good win over West Brom this

afternoon. Sunderland and Newcastle play the big relegation derby

tomorrow. This is the top of the Championship. Burn they are four

points clear. -- Burnley. Another big defeat for Bolton Wanderers this

afternoon. They are six points behind Charlton Athletic. As

promised, details of the match involving Everton and Arsenal,

provided by Steve Bauer. A difficult week for Arsenal, but no problems at

Goodison Park with should and controlled performance, and the

return to winning ways was never in doubt after Danny Welbeck had given

them the early lead inside six and a half minutes, his fourth goal in

nine games since his return from the long-term injury. The date to

remember for Alex Iwobi, given his Premier League debut by Arsene

Wenger, he got his first Arsenal goal, and in terms of Everton that

was a killer blow, they never asked Arsenal any questions in the second

half. Important clean sheet for Arsenal. They are in pole position

if the top two were to fall, and this is also important in terms of

finishing in the top four, which Arsene Wenger has always delivered

at his time with Arsenal. This is a sick defeat for Everton in nine home

league matches -- defeat. And now Leicester City and their trip to

Crystal Palace. COMMENTATOR: Leicester City have done it again,

three points in the bag, eight points clear of Tottenham, 11 points

clear of Arsenal, 15 points clear of Manchester City, and this time last

season they lost 4-3 against Tottenham and they were bottom of

the table, has there ever been a more incredible Premier League

story? It is Mahrez once again, 16 goals now for the season, Jamie

Vardy set him up, there were many chances, it was breathless, it was

breathtaking, it was excruciating for Crystal Palace fans, they had

chances, they hit the crossbar, and they battled hard, but they did not

have enough and they have now not won a league match this year in 13

attempts. But the day belonged to Leicester and their fans celebrate,

they sing, they are going to win the league, and who knows where to mark

it looks like they are going to do it. -- and who knows? And now we can

find out about Chelsea against West Ham. 2-2, a Fabregas double has

denied West Ham a rare victory at Stamford Bridge. Free kick in

stoppage time cancelled out West Ham's first goal, and then Andy

Carroll put them back in front, but Ham's first goal, and then Andy

then a controversial penalty, it was possibly outside the box, and there

was little contact, but Fabregas scored from the spot, tempers

flared, it was all very dramatic and it ended in a draw. There was a big

win for Norwich, away to West Brom. We can hear about this one. West

Brom zero, Norwich one, this was a precious win for Norwich, a first

victory in 11 Premier League matches, and West Brom's first

defeat at home in 2016, the game was utterly forgettable apart from

Robbie Brady's goal five minutes into the second half, pouncing on

the loose ball. They had a long time to see it home from there, but West

Brom barely landed a blow and they played like a team that knows it is

safe and they barely had a shot on target. Norwich won't care about

that, they will head back to Norfolk with three save points packed away

on the team bus. -- safe. Let's talk about the narrow victories, one for

Norwich and one for Leicester City. Which one would you like to talk

about? We can start with Leicester City, I worked at the club for a

while, and I think it is amazing, the fact they are looking as if they

can win the title, and one thing I noticed watching them, it is their

teamwork, they are all in it together, and I don't see them

losing, even though there are quite a few games left. The team has got

to do well. It looked like a banana skin, as well, Manchester City and

Liverpool have come a cropper there at Selhurst Park. Leicester

prevailed. Crystal Palace is a tough place to go, tough area, but

Leicester went there, and I agree, many people thought they might have

slipped up, but credit to them, they have got the three points. Norwich

with a good result last week against Manchester

with a good result last week against this afternoon that takes them out

of the bottom three. Sunderland and Newcastle tomorrow, so maybe one of

them will drop points, maybe both of them will drop points, and there are

a few weeks left, but it is a good time to get the meant going for Alex

Neil and Norwich. -- get momentum going. It doesn't take much, six

points and you have breathing space. Leicester, last year they were

struggling for survival, and now they are challenging for the title.

Great investment in Ranieri, many people did not fancy him, but he has

done a great job. That is it for now. We will leave you to savour

this. Big wins this afternoon for Partick Thistle, at Hamilton. St

Johnstone, they were 3-0 winners at Tynecastle, and there was a big

victory for Celtic at Rugby Park. Aberdeen lost 2-1 away to

Motherwell, despite taking the lead. Inverness Caley Thistle, a good

victory for them, 3-0, at Ross County. Plenty of goals in the

Championship. St Mirren winning 3-2 away to Livingston. Morton thumping

were the biggest winners of the day were the biggest winners of the day

-- thumping Alloa. You can enjoy highlights of the matches tomorrow,

that is on BBC One at 1030. You will laugh, you might even cry.

Their guest is Michael Grant, he has been saving his best chat for that,

I hope! Thanks to him and the Falkirk manager, Peter Houston, for

their insight and affability, and thanks to you for watching. We will

see you in two weeks, because there is no show next week. Blame the

international break, but take care, and we will see you soon.
