:00:13. > :00:15.Good afternoon and welcome to the final Results
:00:16. > :00:18.Show of the season - I know I can't believe it either.
:00:19. > :00:21.In the next few minutes we'll find out which team's for the drop
:00:22. > :00:27.Spoiler alert - it's either Hamilton or Inverness.
:00:28. > :00:30.The Highlanders are for the high jump if they don't beat Motherwell.
:00:31. > :00:33.If they do and Accies don't win at home to Dundee -
:00:34. > :00:36.And here's the rub - whoever prevails on survival
:00:37. > :00:41.Saturday faces the peril of a play-off.
:00:42. > :00:44.That and more between now and about 10-past-5
:00:45. > :00:47.in the esteemed company of Craig Paterson and Stuart
:00:48. > :00:52.Hold on to your hats as we find out what's happening
:00:53. > :01:13.Inverness versus Motherwell. No one holding on tho their hats. Inverness
:01:14. > :01:21.will be relegated. They're winning 3-1. For Motherwell McFadden came
:01:22. > :01:25.off the bench to score a header. But results elsewhere are consigning
:01:26. > :01:32.Inverness to the drop. Ruined the whole show! Now the SuperSeal
:01:33. > :01:40.Stadium and Hamilton against Dundee. Hamilton needed to win and few would
:01:41. > :01:47.have predicted 4-0. Bingham and Skondras in the first half. Imrie
:01:48. > :01:52.and Crawford late in the match. Hamilton look like they will be
:01:53. > :01:57.taking on Dundee United in the Premiership play-off. And it is
:01:58. > :02:03.about who will finish top of the bottom six at Rugby Park, where
:02:04. > :02:07.Kilmarnock are playing Ross County. When the battle for relegation
:02:08. > :02:17.leaves you cold, the battle for seventh place is hotting up. Ross
:02:18. > :02:22.County look like winning. They had fallen behind after a penalty from
:02:23. > :02:28.Sammon. But Boyce equalised before half-time and in the second half
:02:29. > :02:33.Boyce latched on to a mistake to lob home his 24th goal of the season and
:02:34. > :02:41.it does look like Ross County will finish top of the bottom six. Time
:02:42. > :02:47.to find out whether Cowdenbeath rr East Kilbride will in the league.
:02:48. > :02:56.What a thriller it was at Central Park. A dramatic afternoon at
:02:57. > :03:04.Central Park ended with Cowdenbeath retaining their place in SPFL2 in a
:03:05. > :03:13.penalty shoot out, consigning East Kilbride to another season in the
:03:14. > :03:24.low land league. Mullen's goal was cancelled out by Gibbons. No more
:03:25. > :03:30.goals and to penalties. Woods had his kick saved and Henderson fired
:03:31. > :03:40.home the kick to retain Cowdenbeath's status. A dramatic
:03:41. > :03:51.afternoon. Now back to Hamilton. Full-time at New Douglas Park.
:03:52. > :03:54.Hamilton 4, Dundee 0. A huge three pointser for Martin Canning's side.
:03:55. > :03:58.In fairness, it never looked in doubt. Dundee never looked
:03:59. > :04:04.interested. We had two goals in two minutes in the fist half. Bingham
:04:05. > :04:11.stabbed home the first from close range and Skondras blasted in the
:04:12. > :04:18.second from distance. Imrie put it beyond doubt and Crawford iced the
:04:19. > :04:22.cake. So next step, Tannadice on Thursday for the first leg of the
:04:23. > :04:26.Premiership play-off between Hamilton and Dundee United. If
:04:27. > :04:33.Martin Canning's men can play like this, United could be in trouble.
:04:34. > :04:40.Not quite finished at Inverness. What is happening there. A dramatic
:04:41. > :04:44.development perhaps? Even more dramatic, that was a goal for
:04:45. > :04:49.Motherwell. But the full-time whistle has gone. It finished
:04:50. > :04:58.Inverness 3, Motherwell 2. That doesn't matter, because Inverness
:04:59. > :05:05.will play in the Championship with relegation confirm. The home side
:05:06. > :05:11.had to win, cross their fingers and pray everything went their way. I
:05:12. > :05:19.was taken out of their hands. They won this convincingly. But it seemed
:05:20. > :05:24.convincing over all. Tansey fired in and a quick fire fisher double made
:05:25. > :05:31.it a stirring second half. Motherwell played their part w James
:05:32. > :05:36.McFadden nodding in after Frear hit the bar. But the news is Inverness,
:05:37. > :05:42.their fate is sealed and they're in the Championship and it is decisions
:05:43. > :05:48.that will matter more in the coming days and weeks. Thank you. Now back
:05:49. > :05:54.to Rugby Park and I believe it is full-time. It has finished
:05:55. > :06:01.Kilmarnock 1, Ross County 2. Ross County finish top of the bottom six.
:06:02. > :06:07.Kilmarnock took the lead, Jones felled by Franks and Sammon took the
:06:08. > :06:15.penalty. The home side in buoyant mood as they took the lead. But
:06:16. > :06:19.Boyce scored the equaliser after McDonald's save, but there was Boyce
:06:20. > :06:24.to force the ball home to make it 1-1. And in the second half Boyce
:06:25. > :06:31.gave County the edge. A mistake in the Kilmarnock defence and Boyce
:06:32. > :06:37.lobbing his 24th goal of the season. Can County hold on to him? For
:06:38. > :06:44.Kilmarnock, thoughts turn to Lee McCullough, will he be the man to
:06:45. > :06:51.take them forward. Talks likely to continue over a beer or two tonight
:06:52. > :06:58.as Kilmarnock celebrate the 20th anniversary of winning the Scottish
:06:59. > :07:08.Cup. But Ross County won 2-1. You are still there. There was I trying
:07:09. > :07:12.to create a bit of jeopardy. Inverness are relegated. Winning the
:07:13. > :07:17.game meant nothing, the damage was done early in the season. They have
:07:18. > :07:22.won three of the last four and given themselves a chance, but too little
:07:23. > :07:27.too late. Runs where they couldn't buy a victory put them in a position
:07:28. > :07:30.where they were chasing. The worst defensive record in the league and
:07:31. > :07:40.that always puts you near the bottom of the table. And questions to be
:07:41. > :07:44.answered Stuart? Yes, first we know that Greg Tansey is off to Aberdeen.
:07:45. > :07:51.There is always the debate about how does a club afford and reorganise
:07:52. > :07:54.itself for the Championship. Of course the question mark over the
:07:55. > :08:01.manager. Does the manager stay? Does he get a stay of execution. Or more
:08:02. > :08:10.likely does Ritchie Foran disappear? On that cheerpy not - -cheery note
:08:11. > :08:22.let's head to Peterhead. What happened? Some dispatching done.
:08:23. > :08:30.Peterhead left floundering as Forfar filleted them. With the kind of
:08:31. > :08:38.meaty performance that could fill a Forfar Bridie. Denholm cracked in a
:08:39. > :08:48.third. And Malone made it 4-0. That piled the misery on. Brown pulled
:08:49. > :08:59.one back from 22 yards. But Peters restored the advantage. 7-2 on
:09:00. > :09:04.aggregate and promotion for The Loons. Hamilton have preserved their
:09:05. > :09:09.status, they have got now to look forward to playing Dundee United on
:09:10. > :09:13.a two-legged play-off Craig, on that form, they have taken care of one
:09:14. > :09:18.Dundee club, can they take care of the other? They can do it. But they
:09:19. > :09:22.lost four going into this. This was a big game for them and they had to
:09:23. > :09:30.generate confidence. They did all those things today. But it is a real
:09:31. > :09:33.dog fight and the last couple of years the Premiership sides have
:09:34. > :09:37.come through. They have looked fresher. Hamilton need to put in a
:09:38. > :09:41.good performance in the week and set up for a big game back in front of
:09:42. > :09:47.their own fans. United have been playing well as well. Yes, I have a
:09:48. > :09:51.feeling, there is a bit of momentum with United. I think it will be a
:09:52. > :09:54.dogged affair. For some reason or another and not just because of
:09:55. > :10:03.Hamilton's presence in the tie, I think it will be a win ugly
:10:04. > :10:10.situation. It tends to favour the Premiership team. So whether
:10:11. > :10:14.Hamilton can eke out a 1-0 over the two legs or whether Dundee United
:10:15. > :10:19.have more sparkle. Who knows. But it will be a dogged set of games.
:10:20. > :10:23.Hamilton have won a play-off before? Yes they have managed to be the
:10:24. > :10:28.Championship side and they beat Hibs to get promoted and lost at home and
:10:29. > :10:33.won at Easter Road and won on penalties. Some of the players will
:10:34. > :10:36.know what they're facing. But United strug it would mid season --
:10:37. > :10:42.struggled mid season, but they finished well. Two good performances
:10:43. > :10:52.to see off Falkirk. It is an even game. Now another of your teams of
:10:53. > :10:57.day, Stuart, the mighty Blue Brazil. Football is a wonderful thing. I
:10:58. > :11:02.said, Cowdenbeath have missed the last six penalties and then low and
:11:03. > :11:12.behold they score them all. Yes and rightly so. I will always be accused
:11:13. > :11:15.of east coast bias. Rightly so. I wanted Cowdenbeath to stay, for one
:11:16. > :11:23.personal reason, one of greatest books I have read on Scottish
:11:24. > :11:28.football, Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil that explains the
:11:29. > :11:32.importance of Cowdenbeath to the community, the community goes back
:11:33. > :11:37.to the mining era. It is a brilliant book and makes you understand the
:11:38. > :11:42.passion for that club within a small community. I thought it was great. I
:11:43. > :11:50.wanted them to win. You don't care about the people in East Kilbride.
:11:51. > :11:56.They have their own future to write. But it is Black Diamonds and the
:11:57. > :12:02.Blue Brazil. Forfar finished second in the division and they had, a
:12:03. > :12:06.Devon Loch moment, allowing Arbroath to come through. They went behind to
:12:07. > :12:11.Peterhead and powered through this time. I thought Peterhead at home
:12:12. > :12:14.would be tough. I think they're confidence has been eradicated
:12:15. > :12:19.during the season. You want to finish the season on a high. Forfar
:12:20. > :12:25.didn't manage that. But produce the goods. The play-offs are not over.
:12:26. > :12:30.Later we will know who will be promoted with League One winners
:12:31. > :12:36.Livingston, because it is the second leg of the Championship final it
:12:37. > :12:45.kicks off at quarter past 5 between Alloa and prexin. Kin. Al-- Brechin.
:12:46. > :12:51.Alistair is it all to play for? Yes finely balanced, a quarter of an
:12:52. > :13:00.hour until kick off as the home side trying to turn around a 1-0 defeat.
:13:01. > :13:04.Brechin haven't played second tier football for over a decade. They
:13:05. > :13:14.shipped six goals the last time they were here. But in a pleasant evening
:13:15. > :13:20.they have a chance to deny Alloa a return. They may have finished
:13:21. > :13:26.adrift of their hosts but they could face another year of thierd tier
:13:27. > :13:31.football. -- third tier football. Brechin go with the same team. Alloa
:13:32. > :13:44.bring back their top scorer, Greg Spence. Read any books about them?
:13:45. > :13:48.I'm going to go on balance with Brechin and again a fact of
:13:49. > :13:53.football, through bias and that is Darren Dods, the former St Johnston
:13:54. > :14:04.centre-back is their manager. I am looking for them to do well. Jim
:14:05. > :14:12.Goodwin won the cup at McDermid park. Brechin on edge. Craig, what
:14:13. > :14:19.do you think will win. Jim Goodwin saying he was pleased with a 1-0
:14:20. > :14:27.defeat, given how much Brechin dominated? It looks a tight one?
:14:28. > :14:34.Yes, but for some reason, I fancy Alloa. They started the season well
:14:35. > :14:38.and they lose the manager and he saves St Mir -- St Mirren from
:14:39. > :14:44.relegation and he may just get the team up. I fancy Alloa. Brechin have
:14:45. > :14:51.just squeezed into the play-offs and progressed. And look, you know, the
:14:52. > :14:55.big argument there, because Forfar won of their local rivals is doing
:14:56. > :15:03.well with this great win today against Peterhead. So there will be
:15:04. > :15:08.a bit of rivalry in that part of the country. I think that I just have a
:15:09. > :15:15.feeling that Brechin will do enough. Nice to have a hedge in the
:15:16. > :15:17.Championship as well chl. A welcome addition to the league. Are you
:15:18. > :15:29.allowed to do hedge betting? The top six... I made a mistake,
:15:30. > :15:37.last show of the season, season finale, I'm out of here, we will see
:15:38. > :15:45.that later. We progress to the classified round-up this afternoon.
:15:46. > :15:56.We begin with the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership.
:15:57. > :16:17.That match is still to come, Alloa Athletic versus Brechin City,
:16:18. > :16:23.kick-off at 5:15pm, Brechin City have a 1-0 lead from the first leg.
:16:24. > :16:30.The SPFL League 1 play-off second leg final, Peterhead 1-5 Forfar
:16:31. > :16:35.Athletic. The aggregate score 7-2 in favour of Forfar Athletic. The
:16:36. > :16:41.League 2 play-off final second leg, Cowdenbeath 1-1 East Kilbride. 1-1
:16:42. > :16:48.on aggregate but Cowdenbeath winning a penalty shoot out 5-3. One more
:16:49. > :16:55.result to come, Sky Bet English League 1, the play-off final.
:16:56. > :17:01.Bradford City 0-1 Millwall. Let's have one last look this season on
:17:02. > :17:04.the results show at the premiership table.
:17:05. > :17:13.This is how the bottom six finishes, Inverness Caledonian Thistle take
:17:14. > :17:16.the drop to the Championship by a single point. Hamilton Academical
:17:17. > :17:22.finishing second bottom so they going to a two legged play-off
:17:23. > :17:27.against Dundee United. Now then, the top six teams in the premiership, I
:17:28. > :17:29.think I said that earlier...! They are in action tomorrow.
:17:30. > :17:31.Now, even though the final standings are already confirmed.
:17:32. > :17:34.At least one team still has something to play for.
:17:35. > :17:36.It is the champions Celtic of whom I speak.
:17:37. > :17:41.They are home to Hearts who haven't won a match post-split.
:17:42. > :17:42.Celtic invincible so far this season -
:17:43. > :17:45.Partick Thistle their latest victims in midweek.
:17:46. > :17:52.We have the evidence to prove it. Craig, another steam roller of a
:17:53. > :17:58.victory for Celtic. There is no stopping them. Leigh Griffiths,
:17:59. > :18:03.Dembele, so many avenues in the front area where they can hurt you,
:18:04. > :18:05.so many players back and find the back of the net, and Tom Rogic back
:18:06. > :18:09.in the field, quality midfielder, not known for scoring a lot of goals
:18:10. > :18:14.but given licence to get up there and support it. I thought Partick
:18:15. > :18:19.would be a tough one for them. Decent top six finish. They have
:18:20. > :18:25.been poor against the big guns. They have lost against the top six and
:18:26. > :18:28.only won against the bottom six. Something they have to work on.
:18:29. > :18:31.People think Celtic will take their foot off the gas and think about the
:18:32. > :18:35.cup final but they keep producing victories and that is another
:18:36. > :18:39.wonderful goal. Take their foot off the gas, perhaps people may have
:18:40. > :18:42.thought that, but so many things still to achieve, record number of
:18:43. > :18:48.goals, record number of points, this invincible is task. That is the real
:18:49. > :18:53.motivation for the squad of players. Brendan Rodgers has had another kind
:18:54. > :18:59.of benefit in that he is beginning to bring players in. I went to see
:19:00. > :19:05.St Johnstone play at Celtic Park a couple of weeks back and he fielded
:19:06. > :19:09.two of their young fringe players. He is starting to bring people
:19:10. > :19:12.forward, bring them on, and always has options. You look at their bench
:19:13. > :19:16.and the bench could probably go out there and do a job in the
:19:17. > :19:20.premiership. It is just a really phenomenal squad he has available.
:19:21. > :19:25.He has been the phenomenon this year as a manager. He's made that club,
:19:26. > :19:33.live in ways that has not been witnessed in decades. Hearts by
:19:34. > :19:38.contrast are on a terrible run. They were beaten soundly, perhaps, 1-0
:19:39. > :19:40.against St Johnstone. They had a good second half against St
:19:41. > :19:48.Johnstone but they looked like a lame Hearts team by comparison.
:19:49. > :19:52.Prior to the appointment of Ian Kasold whose appointment has not
:19:53. > :19:58.been as good as people hoped, including myself. Do you think
:19:59. > :20:02.people feel let down? Kind of, I bought the idea he was this kind of
:20:03. > :20:06.football innovator, that he had vision, that he had some kind of
:20:07. > :20:10.greater astute tactical awareness and it has just not proven to be the
:20:11. > :20:14.case. Chris Kayden who got the goal for St Johnstone had a really fine
:20:15. > :20:19.match and I look forward to him doing something against Rangers
:20:20. > :20:23.tomorrow. St Johnstone against Rangers tomorrow, St Johnstone
:20:24. > :20:27.didn't have the best of mid-weeks, beaten by Aberdeen, the first defeat
:20:28. > :20:31.for the Dons at Ibrox in 36 years. Write down the middle, Rangers
:20:32. > :20:35.players clattering into each other. The ball is in the back of the net,
:20:36. > :20:41.and Aberdeen are a good side and have had a good season. If you give
:20:42. > :20:45.them the lead they will give you confidence and they got the delight
:20:46. > :20:49.of a second goal, put themselves in a good position. I didn't see any
:20:50. > :20:52.way back for Rangers but they kept plugging away. Pedro Caixinha has
:20:53. > :20:56.come in, a few young players on that income interesting to see if he they
:20:57. > :20:59.play against St Johnstone tomorrow. Martyn Waghorn, as you will see
:21:00. > :21:03.shortly, got Rangers back into it and I thought they might sneak a
:21:04. > :21:06.point here but for Rangers it's all about next season, new players
:21:07. > :21:12.coming in, the players who are there and haven't really made the grade
:21:13. > :21:14.will have to move on. It will be a vastly different Rangers team next
:21:15. > :21:18.season. What about for St Johnstone? Putting the cap on another
:21:19. > :21:21.remarkable season. The small kind of things that are there to be played
:21:22. > :21:26.for his first league every small club likes to get a result against
:21:27. > :21:31.the big Glasgow teams. But further than that this would be the greatest
:21:32. > :21:36.ever points total in the top league ever in the club's history. We've
:21:37. > :21:39.got forth and we've done really well over six seasons and we are back in
:21:40. > :21:42.Europe again and I think the players will be told to go out there and try
:21:43. > :21:47.and win the game as well and then you can have your five days off and
:21:48. > :21:51.back into training again because you got a European draw coming up.
:21:52. > :21:56.Aberdeen and this all tomorrow and then the cup final at three matches
:21:57. > :22:02.in Glasgow for them, all about getting ready for the big end of
:22:03. > :22:07.season showdown with Celtic. It is going to be so difficult it becomes
:22:08. > :22:10.a mental problem. When you run out and the other team comes out of the
:22:11. > :22:15.tunnel and you think every time we play this lot we lose, Aberdeen must
:22:16. > :22:19.get over it. Derek McInnes was keen to point out every time they play
:22:20. > :22:21.them they are getting closer, is that fair comment? He will know
:22:22. > :22:25.better because I haven't seen all the games but Celtic always looked
:22:26. > :22:28.the stronger outfit. Last season they beat them a couple of times and
:22:29. > :22:31.you felt in a cup final Aberdeen would have a chance but the way
:22:32. > :22:37.things stand the smart money will be on Celtic. But if Aberdeen can get
:22:38. > :22:40.playing, if Hays down one side and McGinn is flying, we know Adam
:22:41. > :22:45.Rooney can score, but the problem is at the back and keeping Celtic out.
:22:46. > :22:48.We spoke so much about the Celtic strikeforce, the number of players
:22:49. > :22:52.Brendan Rodgers has who can come on and make an impact. If the players
:22:53. > :22:55.who start are not doing it the people who come off the bench are
:22:56. > :23:00.more than capable of scoring goals so it will be tough for Aberdeen.
:23:01. > :23:02.Gents, I'm afraid not just for tonight but alas for the season, I'm
:23:03. > :23:06.wiping the tears out of my eyes. However, there's still some life
:23:07. > :23:08.left in the highlights Look, Jonathan Sutherland
:23:09. > :23:18.is here tomorrow at 6pm on BBC Two with the best bits of the weekend's
:23:19. > :23:23.six Premiership matches. It's repeated on BBC One in HD,
:23:24. > :23:31.after Match of the Day. Then he gets another kick
:23:32. > :23:41.at the ball on Thursday night at 11:15pm with highlights
:23:42. > :23:45.of the Premiership play off first Stuart Cosgrove's working day
:23:46. > :23:51.is not complete yet. He's back
