:00:17. > :00:22.Good afternoon and welcome to the results show, it is one of my
:00:23. > :00:27.favourite weekends of the year, because it is the fourth round of
:00:28. > :00:32.the William Hill Scottish Cup. Giants will be killed, potentially,
:00:33. > :00:40.banana skins will be slip on and romantics will be brokenhearted. We
:00:41. > :00:43.have the Motherwell captain Keith Lasley and Steven Thompson. Let's
:00:44. > :00:48.feast our eyes on the latest scores and one full-time result. I will
:00:49. > :01:28.cherry pick this. The full-time score from Ibrox is
:01:29. > :01:43.2-1. Rangers going through to the next round.
:01:44. > :01:51.Two matches to be played tomorrow. As I told you, Rangers are the first
:01:52. > :01:55.team through to the last 16, beating Motherwell in the lunchtime
:01:56. > :02:00.kick-off. Kenny Miller got the winning goal a minute from time,
:02:01. > :02:05.only five minutes after Rangers drew level. It looked as though
:02:06. > :02:09.Motherwell were heading to the next round when they got a headed goal.
:02:10. > :02:17.Miller equalised with another header and then Rangers' new signing set up
:02:18. > :02:23.Miller who went past Craig Samson for the winner. Keith, I don't know
:02:24. > :02:28.what to say. It was blue Monday on Monday and that was a sickener of a
:02:29. > :02:30.Saturday. How do you feel? I do not know what to say. It is d j vu for
:02:31. > :02:35.know what to say. It is d ja vu for us unfortunately. We were beaten
:02:36. > :02:43.earlier in the season and it was similar. We were 1-0 up and again it
:02:44. > :02:49.was Kenny Miller. We went in there with a game plan and we thought we
:02:50. > :02:53.executed pretty well. Then we felt comfortable and that is the biggest
:02:54. > :02:58.disappointment, that we did feel comfortable in the match and to lose
:02:59. > :03:06.the next goal is sickening. You thought you were home. At Ibrox away
:03:07. > :03:10.from home you still know you have to be on your guard right until the
:03:11. > :03:16.end, but we felt as if it was going to be our day and we had good
:03:17. > :03:20.support there today. When Miller scores a goal, in my mind they are
:03:21. > :03:26.going on to win the match. But it wasn't to be. As hard as it is, we
:03:27. > :03:32.go away with our wounds and we have to look forward to next week. He
:03:33. > :03:37.hugged you when you came into the studio. I could tell. I thought
:03:38. > :03:42.Keith was Man of the Match. Motherwell defended ever so well and
:03:43. > :03:46.their game plan was executed brilliantly, to a tee. In the second
:03:47. > :03:53.half the team grew into the game and created more opportunities. The goal
:03:54. > :03:59.was a thing of beauty. The movement from Louis Mould for this goal is as
:04:00. > :04:02.good as it gets. He takes the defender to the front post and then
:04:03. > :04:09.he dropped him and the header was fantastic. At that point I am
:04:10. > :04:11.thinking Motherwell. Rangers, for all their possession, had not
:04:12. > :04:16.threatened Motherwell too much in the game. As the game wore on you
:04:17. > :04:21.knew Rangers would get an opportunity. All credit to Rangers
:04:22. > :04:26.because they're headed goal that Kenny Miller scored was an excellent
:04:27. > :04:30.goal. Maybe Motherwell could have dealt with it better. But to lose
:04:31. > :04:34.the goal that you did in the last minute and the manner. Steve McManus
:04:35. > :04:39.is one of the most experienced players and has seen it and done it
:04:40. > :04:44.and bought the T-shirt. To make a mistake like he did, he tried to put
:04:45. > :04:48.a wee ball into the middle of the park and he tries a cute one into
:04:49. > :04:53.the middle of the park and the new boy for Rangers threads a great pass
:04:54. > :04:58.through for Kenny. Great credit to Kenny Miller, even at 37 he still
:04:59. > :05:03.produces. He is one of Rangers BIG BROTHER: Great players, week in,
:05:04. > :05:14.week out. On reflection and draw would have been a fair result. What
:05:15. > :05:18.was the mood like post-match? It was very quiet. I am still going through
:05:19. > :05:24.things that happened in the match. Are you a bit shell-shocked? I think
:05:25. > :05:30.so. It will take a couple of days and we have to sit down and look
:05:31. > :05:38.back on it. Unfortunately positives are hard to see at the moment.
:05:39. > :05:44.Speaking of hard to see! We decided earlier that you would sit in the
:05:45. > :05:47.studio and cast an eye over the match in Dingwall between Ross
:05:48. > :05:57.County and Dundee United. Little did we know that it would be fogbound.
:05:58. > :06:01.Dundee United with a white strip has made it even harder. Dundee United
:06:02. > :06:05.started with an outstanding goal, a great one to look forward to
:06:06. > :06:10.tonight. And then there was another superb finish. And then Cammy Bell
:06:11. > :06:16.spilt a couple of crosses and he should have done better and Ross
:06:17. > :06:21.County get up to four goals. Dundee United in the last three games have
:06:22. > :06:27.lost ten goals. They have problems defensively. I was speaking to
:06:28. > :06:34.Raymond McKinnon and he said defensively, we have been strong.
:06:35. > :06:43.That has not been the case. Four in this match so far. In the second
:06:44. > :06:51.half, Floods came on and he hardened them up a bit. But it has been the
:06:52. > :06:56.pick of the game is for sure. Do you think Dundee United's best chance is
:06:57. > :07:01.the fog comes down even bigger? They are still capable. It is only two
:07:02. > :07:05.goals. They get another one and it is game on and that might change
:07:06. > :07:10.Ross County's mentality as well and they might sit back. I think in the
:07:11. > :07:23.second half Ross County are definitely the better team. But it
:07:24. > :07:28.is a more even contest. It is time for our first bounce around the
:07:29. > :07:38.stadium was this afternoon. It was one apiece between Inverness and
:07:39. > :07:43.Elgin. Good afternoon. It is still 1-1. It is the first time Elgin have
:07:44. > :07:49.hosted top-flight opposition in 45 years and they are making a fist of
:07:50. > :07:54.it. In fact, they went ahead. Mark Nicholson with the final shot. It
:07:55. > :08:00.sneaked in at the bottom corner and gave Elgin a lead. Lionel Cole has
:08:01. > :08:04.been the danger man for the visitors and he walks through to the centre
:08:05. > :08:11.of defence to put Inverness back on level terms. A few moments ago there
:08:12. > :08:16.was a header that crashed off the bar. Inverness are back into it, but
:08:17. > :08:22.we could have an upset on the cards. Let's stick with a potential upset
:08:23. > :08:28.and head to dens Park. It is Dundee against Saint Mirren. It looks like
:08:29. > :08:32.there could be a shock, but Saint Mirren are deservedly in front. John
:08:33. > :08:41.Sutton put St Mirren in front after 24 minutes. He found the bottom
:08:42. > :08:47.right-hand corner. They added a second early in the second half when
:08:48. > :08:53.McKenzie fired home from ten yards. Some confusion about the goal,
:08:54. > :08:56.either way it was St Mirren's second goal. Dundee have failed to take
:08:57. > :09:01.their chances and that could be costly. What would have been
:09:02. > :09:08.undoubtedly the biggest upset of the day. Bonnyrigg Rose against
:09:09. > :09:14.Hibernian at Tynecastle. A Scottish Cup dream not becoming a reality for
:09:15. > :09:20.Bonnyrigg Rose. They trailed by 5-1. It was a fairly even opening ten
:09:21. > :09:28.minutes, but after that the ruthless streak of Hibernian kicked in. James
:09:29. > :09:33.Keating had a fabulous effort. Chris Humphrey made it 3-0 after 24
:09:34. > :09:40.minutes. Bonnyrigg got a lifeline with Dean Hoskins who scored a
:09:41. > :09:44.penalty. It was 3-1 at half-time. After the second half Jason Cummings
:09:45. > :09:51.put the game beyond doubt. A brilliant scissor kick. And then
:09:52. > :09:56.Stevenson himself added another goal in 61 minutes. Five different
:09:57. > :10:03.scorers for Hibs, there might be more. Potential upset looks less
:10:04. > :10:11.likely. There has been another goal in the Inverness game. Yes, our goal
:10:12. > :10:18.for Inverness. It hit the back of the net as opposed to the crossbar.
:10:19. > :10:27.Inverness now lead by 2-1. And another go at Tynecastle. And it is
:10:28. > :10:38.another goal from Jason Cummings for Hibs. It is 6-1. The Premiership,
:10:39. > :10:45.Aberdeen at home to the bottom of League 1 club. It took 30 minutes
:10:46. > :10:51.for Aberdeen to make the breakthrough against stubborn
:10:52. > :10:52.Stranraer defending. But it was only ever going to be a case of how many
:10:53. > :11:04.for the Dons. Aberdeen did not need ever going to be a case of how many
:11:05. > :11:08.a helping hand, but Morgan Neill gave them one anyway, conceding and
:11:09. > :11:17.needless penalty early in the second-half. It was excellently
:11:18. > :11:23.taken by Rooney. Only a series of breathtaking saves has spared the
:11:24. > :11:40.bottom club a real doing. And we can go to Partick Thistle against
:11:41. > :11:46.Frommer teen United. Half an hour for the second goal to come, Stephen
:11:47. > :11:49.Lawless set up nicely by Welsh. Barely 60 seconds had ticked away
:11:50. > :11:56.when Chris Erskine got his second of the game. It was a delightful
:11:57. > :12:04.finish. Just one goal in the second half for Partick Thistle, Abdul
:12:05. > :12:09.Osman with a lovely volley. John Welch has gone off, he has been the
:12:10. > :12:15.best player for me. Here she is a goal free zone this afternoon. It is
:12:16. > :12:21.0-0 and no goals between Kilmarnock and Hamilton either. It all seems to
:12:22. > :12:26.be happening everywhere else today. There has been precious little in
:12:27. > :12:32.the way of chapters today. Callum Roberts drew a comfortable save from
:12:33. > :12:37.the Hamilton goalkeeper. Hamilton have thrashed a header over. The
:12:38. > :12:42.main talking point was the fact that Lee Clark named by debutants in his
:12:43. > :12:53.starting line-up. He left Coulibaly on the bench. There are no goals,
:12:54. > :12:58.but I want to start there just because. That interesting point,
:12:59. > :13:04.five debutants. Is that because they do not care that much about the
:13:05. > :13:11.Scottish Cup? Or is it because Lee Clark thinks changes have got to be
:13:12. > :13:15.made. I would agree. The argument down south is about diluting the FA
:13:16. > :13:19.Cup. It is not the same in the Scottish Cup, it means everything to
:13:20. > :13:25.everybody, players, managers and fans. I do not agree with that. I
:13:26. > :13:34.knew that would happen. There would be a goal. It is 5-2. Can you talk
:13:35. > :13:36.us through the fog? Yes, it was a great pass and it is laid back to
:13:37. > :13:46.the edge of the box. On the first great pass and it is laid back to
:13:47. > :13:52.shot Bell gets a good block on it. That is game, set and match for Ross
:13:53. > :13:58.County. That is why we pay you big bucks!
:13:59. > :14:06.Looking for upsets, it looks like the most likely place is Dundee for
:14:07. > :14:13.St Mirren. Your former club 2-0 up. Fantastic result for them. Not a
:14:14. > :14:19.result yet! Tempting fate, sorry. In terms of the league, it has not been
:14:20. > :14:20.going great. I'm sure they would swap it for three points but you
:14:21. > :14:24.have to take the win. The new swap it for three points but you
:14:25. > :14:28.signings came in as well. Maybe that has given them a boost. They have
:14:29. > :14:33.not been there, not been used to going through this tough period. Not
:14:34. > :14:39.suffering from a lack of confidence. You know how that is when you are
:14:40. > :14:42.struggling. It builds. And you know when you get that cup game when you
:14:43. > :14:45.have been struggling in the league, it is a different pressure
:14:46. > :14:50.altogether, isn't it? It takes you away from the league. You don't have
:14:51. > :14:52.it sitting on your shoulders. The supporters can't understand it. They
:14:53. > :14:57.it sitting on your shoulders. The could beat eight shahada team. That
:14:58. > :15:01.is the psychology, what St Mirren needed. And Dundee's home record has
:15:02. > :15:04.been phenomenal, winning four of the last time, the last before the
:15:05. > :15:10.winter break against St Johnstone so that makes it even better. We are
:15:11. > :15:10.getting excited by the Elgin City score against Inverness, especially
:15:11. > :15:16.Stephen when he thought it was 1-0 score against Inverness, especially
:15:17. > :15:20.when it was 1-1. It was looking dodgy for Inverness. Yes, Inverness
:15:21. > :15:23.find themselves struggling in the league at the moment. Albeit I
:15:24. > :15:30.believe they are in a false position. They are better than that,
:15:31. > :15:33.than the squad is showing, in bottom position. These games are always
:15:34. > :15:37.difficult but it looks as though they have managed to turn things
:15:38. > :15:42.round. Another goal between Bonnyrigg Rose and Hibs at
:15:43. > :15:46.Tynecastle. Kenny? It is getting sorer and sorrow for the junior
:15:47. > :15:50.side, it is now 1-7, and James Keatings has his second of the game.
:15:51. > :15:54.Martin Boyle, the substitute, played him in and from a tight angle on the
:15:55. > :15:58.right-hand side, he has squeezed it into the far corner, so we really
:15:59. > :16:05.need Bonnyrigg Rose to close the doors at the back because this is
:16:06. > :16:10.getting humiliating. With all the James Bond stuff this week, at least
:16:11. > :16:16.it is not... You've been dying to get that in! Keith, speaking to Neil
:16:17. > :16:19.Lennon this week, he said they had to make sure there was no
:16:20. > :16:26.romanticism, it would be a tricky tie. It has not proven that way,
:16:27. > :16:30.hasn't -- has it? They have been the ultimate professionals. You always
:16:31. > :16:33.expect Hibs to get through, but in the first 20 minutes, if you don't
:16:34. > :16:36.get the first goal, the crowd can start to get a new and before you
:16:37. > :16:39.know it, you invite pressure on yourselves but it looks as though
:16:40. > :16:44.they have taken care of business there. I think it is a fantastic day
:16:45. > :16:51.out for Bonnyrigg. Speaking earlier, 7000, 8000 fans there which is an
:16:52. > :16:53.unbelievable turnout, even to get to cheer a goal at least and enjoy the
:16:54. > :16:57.unbelievable turnout, even to get to day. They won't enjoy this because
:16:58. > :17:03.I'm not letting them creep under the radar, but 2-0, Falkirk, Morton
:17:04. > :17:06.going tremendously well. They got to the League Cup semifinal and it
:17:07. > :17:10.looks as though they are going to put Falkirk, another Championship
:17:11. > :17:13.site of the sort. They've been ever so impressive under Jim Duffy,
:17:14. > :17:16.really consistent in the league and this was going to be quite tough
:17:17. > :17:20.because Falkirk and Morton are quite evenly matched but at home or are
:17:21. > :17:22.superb. They have drawn the two previous league encounters this
:17:23. > :17:28.season so far but it looks like Morton will win this. Elsewhere, a
:17:29. > :17:30.couple of Premiership clubs cruising twins, Partick Thistle 4-0
:17:31. > :17:35.Formartine United which looks a formality. This'll come you have
:17:36. > :17:40.been watching that occasionally, coming in. Again, coming back to the
:17:41. > :17:44.Hibs scenario, similar opposition, and again, I remember being involved
:17:45. > :17:48.in cup games before and you really need to still have that professional
:17:49. > :17:51.head on and go out and not think you are going to be able to turn up and
:17:52. > :17:55.get the result. Again, Partick have gone out with the right attitude,
:17:56. > :17:59.gone in front which is massive in these games and once you get in
:18:00. > :18:05.front, the longer the game goes on, part-time opposition, they will tend
:18:06. > :18:11.to tire. That is when the next goal, more goals tend to come. Partick had
:18:12. > :18:13.a good festive period, seven out of nine so they went into the game in
:18:14. > :18:17.a good festive period, seven out of really good form despite the small
:18:18. > :18:20.break. They are continuing the form. A bit concerned about that, I was
:18:21. > :18:24.thinking some of the Premiership clubs have had a long break, they
:18:25. > :18:30.might be a bit rusty but it does not seem to have proven that way. That
:18:31. > :18:37.was a good dig! I wish I was back there, after today. But I think the
:18:38. > :18:41.winter break, yes, you have time off but what it does, certainly from our
:18:42. > :18:46.point of view, we went to the game with a fit squad, we had given the
:18:47. > :18:49.guys who were maybe struggling with injuries and niggles, and again, it
:18:50. > :18:53.gives you time to prepare for the match. We knew we had two weeks odd
:18:54. > :18:56.to prepare. All right, it never turned out the way we wanted it
:18:57. > :19:00.today but I think a lot of it was right and it gives you time to
:19:01. > :19:03.prepare properly. It would have turned all right had it not been for
:19:04. > :19:07.the last minute. It would have been a decent result to take back. We
:19:08. > :19:12.would have been delighted. The game plan worked for you. Don't talk it
:19:13. > :19:15.down. You are going to Tenerife on your own! Aberdeen were in Dubai,
:19:16. > :19:18.down. You are going to Tenerife on compare that to the preparations
:19:19. > :19:21.Stranraer had, sucking Andrew Amonde, going to the game at
:19:22. > :19:24.Pittodrie without a manager, Aberdeen, look at these corals,
:19:25. > :19:29.Niall McGinn and Rooney and you can see the Gulf. Absolutely, Stranraer
:19:30. > :19:33.has been struggling down the bottom of League 1 and Aberdeen actually,
:19:34. > :19:36.right before the break, they did not want it, the one team that didn't
:19:37. > :19:43.because they had built up a head of steam, beating braking, back to the
:19:44. > :19:46.team they were last year or even at the start of the season and a lot of
:19:47. > :19:49.that is down to team selection. Derek McInnes has gone back to what
:19:50. > :19:52.he knows, picking his best and strongest players and it is working
:19:53. > :19:56.for him and today, he picked the strongest Aberdeen side, for me, and
:19:57. > :20:04.it has worked with Niall McGinn and Rooney producing. Actually, not a
:20:05. > :20:07.turning point but certainly, the trigger for the form was the game
:20:08. > :20:11.against us and it was the team selection, Rooney, Niall McGinn,
:20:12. > :20:17.Hayes, it seemed to be, those boys in midfield and it just seemed to be
:20:18. > :20:21.back to that real 11 that has got them success at this point and it
:20:22. > :20:24.looks as though that is the 11 that Derek is going to trust to hopefully
:20:25. > :20:30.go forward and fight for second place. One of the teams probably
:20:31. > :20:33.desperate to get to the winter break when Inverness, bottom of the
:20:34. > :20:39.Premiership and they have recruited one of your former team-mates, Henri
:20:40. > :20:44.Anier, who has just come on. Yes, he is a terrific athlete, he really
:20:45. > :20:48.looks after himself, Estonian international. He has bounced about
:20:49. > :20:52.a few clubs but certainly on his day, he can be a handful. I think
:20:53. > :20:56.probably a different option to what they have got already and I think as
:20:57. > :20:58.a manager at this time of the Yukon in January, that is what you are
:20:59. > :21:04.looking for, something different from what you have got. -- at this
:21:05. > :21:08.time of the year, in January. It has always struck me when I have watched
:21:09. > :21:12.him. Is to rivet athlete going both ways, running in behind and when you
:21:13. > :21:18.don't have the ball, he does a shift behind. Crawford is not much of an
:21:19. > :21:24.athlete but you can't fault his. Another as Bonnyrigg Rose. 1-8 now
:21:25. > :21:29.and Jordon Forster with the header from a free kick which was riding by
:21:30. > :21:33.James Keatings. Bad challenge by Dean Hoskins on Chris Humphrey and
:21:34. > :21:37.I'm afraid Bonnyrigg Rose were made to pay. Just under ten minutes to
:21:38. > :21:43.go. We'll Hibs make it ten? That is the question. We will find out in
:21:44. > :21:47.the fullness of time but right now, chaps, we can sit back and relax so
:21:48. > :21:50.we will take a break from the Scottish Cup action and look at the
:21:51. > :21:53.lunchtime match in the English Premier League, Liverpool started
:21:54. > :21:58.the day in third place at home to struggling Swansea. Let's hear how
:21:59. > :22:02.it went from Steve Bower. A result hugely significant at both ends of
:22:03. > :22:04.the Premier League table as Swansea stunned Liverpool to end their
:22:05. > :22:11.unbeaten home record of 25 games. They were 2-0 up, five minutes into
:22:12. > :22:14.the second half after defending very well in the first. The Arendse with
:22:15. > :22:19.both goals. But Liverpool hit back with the 2-goal hero themselves,
:22:20. > :22:23.Firmino with both, and with 21 minutes to play, it was firmly
:22:24. > :22:26.forward for Liverpool to go and launch a memorable victory but
:22:27. > :22:31.Swansea had not read the perfect script. Up popped Sigurdsson on 72
:22:32. > :22:34.minutes, with a left footed shot steered past Mignolet and despite
:22:35. > :22:38.Liverpool's efforts which ended with Joel Matip as an emergency centre
:22:39. > :22:43.forward, they could not flip -- pull it back. Their first home defeat in
:22:44. > :22:46.over a year in all competitions at Anfield. Time will tell how
:22:47. > :22:51.potentially damaging this is for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp but for
:22:52. > :22:54.Swansea, a piece of history, their first-ever league win at Anfield and
:22:55. > :23:00.a shot of belief in the arm in their attempts to stay in the Premier
:23:01. > :23:04.League. Liverpool 2-3 Swansea. In the Scottish Cup, that might just be
:23:05. > :23:09.the surprise of the day, the score. A big surprise for me, I thought
:23:10. > :23:10.Liverpool were going to be the team that would challenge Chelsea. I'm
:23:11. > :23:14.not saying they are not now but a that would challenge Chelsea. I'm
:23:15. > :23:20.result like that gives them a dent. They could have gone second. 2-0 up
:23:21. > :23:24.at home and fighting to win league titles, you don't lose to the bottom
:23:25. > :23:29.team at home, 3-2, when you are too- zero up, that is not a team that is
:23:30. > :23:33.going to win the Premiership. The last time you on the show, you were
:23:34. > :23:36.talking about Manchester City. They looked as though they would run away
:23:37. > :23:40.with it, leaving Chelsea and Liverpool in the dust but Chelsea,
:23:41. > :23:44.like Manchester City did about six or eight weeks ago, are doing that.
:23:45. > :23:48.It can all turn around but a result like that for Liverpool, as I
:23:49. > :23:54.said... New manager as well at Swansea. Massive for them. He will
:23:55. > :23:57.hope to build on that. Right, we will head back to Borough Briggs in
:23:58. > :24:03.the Scottish Cup, Elgin City against Inverness. That match kicked off a
:24:04. > :24:08.bit late. It did, ten minutes late because there were still so many
:24:09. > :24:13.fans outside. It is a fantastic attendance, 3500 inside. They have
:24:14. > :24:16.been treated to a very good game as well, Inverness very close to making
:24:17. > :24:20.it safe, Iain Vigurs with a free kick that crashed back of the bar.
:24:21. > :24:26.Twice Inverness have hit the woodwork but they lead as we go into
:24:27. > :24:31.the final minutes, 2-1. Inverness will be happy to see that one out if
:24:32. > :24:34.they do. It looked dodgy for a while, 1-0 to Elgin City who are
:24:35. > :24:38.decent but the gap between the sides, and the difference in budget
:24:39. > :24:43.and players, you would not expect it. Richie Foran spoke about the
:24:44. > :24:46.winter break, how the team had started to look low in confidence
:24:47. > :24:50.and that could have been a severe blow if they had lost that one
:24:51. > :24:55.today. I think so. As I said, I think they are innate. Position but
:24:56. > :24:58.when you get a run of results, we know from our own experience, the
:24:59. > :25:03.year we were in the play-offs and things, the longer you are in that
:25:04. > :25:07.part of the table, no matter how good you feel the squat is, you need
:25:08. > :25:10.to get results as a result like that, well, Richie Foran will be
:25:11. > :25:12.hoping it can kick-start their league form. Are Dundee still
:25:13. > :25:18.capable of getting a result at home league form. Are Dundee still
:25:19. > :25:22.to St Mirren in the cup? The bodies still 2- -- two goals to the good.
:25:23. > :25:26.And another chance for Clarkson who has come on as a substitute, but his
:25:27. > :25:30.shot was saved by the likes of Scott Bain. It looks cut and dried as far
:25:31. > :25:34.as St Mirren are concerned because Dundee Civic can't create anything.
:25:35. > :25:40.I have to say, it looks more likely St Mirren will add to their tally.
:25:41. > :25:43.It looks like Dundee are heading out but Aberdeen are comfortably through
:25:44. > :25:48.to the fifth round. They were at home to Stranraer today, the bottom
:25:49. > :25:53.club in League 1. That match has now reached its conclusion. A convincing
:25:54. > :25:56.win for the Dons. Let's go to Scott Davies. Doubles from Niall McGinn
:25:57. > :26:00.and Adam Rooney Majher Aberdeen made it past the first hurdle in the
:26:01. > :26:03.Scottish Cup for the first time in three seasons. The Dons could have
:26:04. > :26:07.beaten their struggling League 1 opponents by double that for - zero
:26:08. > :26:10.margin added not been for a series of outstanding saves from the
:26:11. > :26:13.Stranraer goalkeeper, Cameron Bell. For all his heroics, it was a case
:26:14. > :26:17.of when rather than if the Premiership side would score, Rooney
:26:18. > :26:24.provided the answer on the half-hour, Jonny Hayes key in the
:26:25. > :26:27.setup, why Cardiff have made two unsuccessful bids for him this month
:26:28. > :26:30.so far. Niall McGinn made it two before the break, Rooney scored his
:26:31. > :26:33.13th of the season just after it and Niall McGinn rounded it off with his
:26:34. > :26:38.tenth of the season after 54 minutes. So Aberdeen comfortably
:26:39. > :26:41.through. The Scottish Cup is not one that Derek McInnes has enjoyed great
:26:42. > :26:43.success with Aberdeen, they have been more League Cup specialists and
:26:44. > :26:47.he will be targeting that this season. Yes, he made the point
:26:48. > :26:51.earlier this season when Aberdeen reached the League Cup final, that
:26:52. > :26:55.Aberdeen should be competing for cup finals like they have been for
:26:56. > :26:58.decades. He feels as though that should come back now they have the
:26:59. > :27:03.squad to do it. They will not be far away. I think the cup final will
:27:04. > :27:07.between the top sides this year. I thought you were going to predict it
:27:08. > :27:10.there! And the score as well? I'm not that good. I think Celtic will
:27:11. > :27:15.be there but it's going to be one of the top six that go and compete
:27:16. > :27:17.against Celtic for the top final -- that the final. Parted just outside
:27:18. > :27:20.against Celtic for the top final -- the Premiership top six and they are
:27:21. > :27:23.safely through to the fifth round this afternoon. It is full-time
:27:24. > :27:29.against Formartine United. Let's get the story from Paul Mitchell. 4-0,
:27:30. > :27:33.the final score, Partick clinical and entertaining today as they
:27:34. > :27:36.cantered past Formartine United, whose previous round against Annan
:27:37. > :27:40.Athletic, therefore - zero win proved to be the high point of their
:27:41. > :27:47.season. They were taught a lesson by Partick Thistle today, who really in
:27:48. > :27:49.the second half should have scored more. They were seeking the perfect
:27:50. > :27:52.goal rather than running up the tally. In the first half, it was
:27:53. > :27:55.3-0, a double by Chris Erskine and in between a cracking goal from
:27:56. > :27:58.Steven Lawless, the only one in the second coming from Osman, and it was
:27:59. > :28:01.worth seeing Sean Welsh down the right, playing the ball into the
:28:02. > :28:04.middle and a lovely volley by Abdul Osman. For Martine should have got
:28:05. > :28:11.on the scoresheet but the terrible mistake, a kicking error set up
:28:12. > :28:15.Gethin's Kadric in the last round but he leaves without a goal today.
:28:16. > :28:20.It was not to be for the Highland league club and Partick are very
:28:21. > :28:22.safely through. Thomas journey looks as though he enjoyed that one. Kept
:28:23. > :28:28.safely through. Thomas journey looks a clean sheet. As I said before, the
:28:29. > :28:32.Inverness clean sheet, hopefully these results can take you on into
:28:33. > :28:37.next week, busy with the pictures now and Partick, I think... A run of
:28:38. > :28:42.four matches altogether. Their league form had been good before the
:28:43. > :28:46.break as well. For me, the manager has done a fantastic job and he
:28:47. > :28:49.continues to put his soul into it. When you play gets Partick, they
:28:50. > :28:52.play in the right way, some fantastic football. They will be
:28:53. > :28:57.looking to challenge for the top six. Let's go to Somerset park...
:28:58. > :29:01.No, we were going to hear from Charlie but now we're going to
:29:02. > :29:10.Dingwall, instead. It is full-time, I believe? I hope so!
:29:11. > :29:15.Ross County in the end were convincing winners.
:29:16. > :29:26.They started the match ever so well. It is not full-time. It must be the
:29:27. > :29:31.fog. It definitely is a full-time. Boyce scored a goal, Quinn scored a
:29:32. > :29:35.goal. From the Dundee perspective the goals are bad defensively. Then
:29:36. > :29:40.they go back just before half-time and Andrews scored another goal. His
:29:41. > :29:47.first goal is incredible, but he gets another one just before
:29:48. > :29:50.half-time. Dundee improved with a couple of substitutions and looked
:29:51. > :29:58.harder to break down, but they did not threaten. Then Ross County got
:29:59. > :30:03.another goal. As it stood it finished 5-2. Liam Boyce on the
:30:04. > :30:12.scoresheet once again. A prolific scorer. He was fantastic for them
:30:13. > :30:20.last year. I think he had a little bit of a barren spell. But he looks
:30:21. > :30:35.like he is back in the goals. 6-2. It must be the fog! Did you see that
:30:36. > :30:43.goal going in? Come on, lads. Give us a chance. I think it was Jim
:30:44. > :30:52.O'Brien. He slotted it away nicely into the corner. To be fair, it was
:30:53. > :30:58.the last kick of the ball. Do you know what? Let's hear from Alistair
:30:59. > :31:02.Lambert. He was up there at the Dingwall watching the aid goal match
:31:03. > :31:09.between Ross County and Dundee United. Take us through it. What a
:31:10. > :31:14.match it was. It was threatened not to go ahead because of the fog in
:31:15. > :31:20.Dingwall. I am so glad, as the others in the ground will be, apart
:31:21. > :31:27.from the Dundee United fans. They got up and running with a superb
:31:28. > :31:32.volley. Tony Andrew equalised with an equally special goal for Dundee
:31:33. > :31:41.United, but then Ross County managed to assert their authority when Quinn
:31:42. > :31:52.scored and then boys made it 4-1 before the half hour was out. Just
:31:53. > :31:59.on the stroke of half-time they were presented with another goal. United
:32:00. > :32:08.dominated the start of the second half, but they were put to bed by a
:32:09. > :32:14.fifth goal for Ross County. Just on the stroke of full-time Jim O'Brien
:32:15. > :32:23.on his Ross County debut made it 6-2. They progress to the next round
:32:24. > :32:34.of the Scottish Cup. United concentrate solely on promotion in
:32:35. > :32:38.the Premiership. Kilmarnock versus Hamilton, Richard, fill us in. It
:32:39. > :32:45.was late drama at Rugby Park. Hamilton scored the only goal of the
:32:46. > :32:50.game in time added on. Being stepped up to score a penalty. It was hard
:32:51. > :32:54.luck for Kilmarnock, they had a chance early on in the second half.
:32:55. > :33:01.They played five new players at the starting line-up and left Coulibaly
:33:02. > :33:04.on the bench. It is a very disappointing afternoon for the home
:33:05. > :33:10.side. It was a late goal and Kilmarnock are into the next round.
:33:11. > :33:16.I think the score line is that wrong way around, it is 1-0 to Hamilton.
:33:17. > :33:23.And the score line at Bonnyrigg Rose and Hibs. It finished 8-1 in this
:33:24. > :33:27.Scottish Cup tied. The dream is over for Bonnyrigg and a bit of a
:33:28. > :33:34.humiliation for them. That they got here in the first place through a
:33:35. > :33:38.terrific run and they'd be done in the last round. It just did not
:33:39. > :33:43.happen today. The opening ten minutes was even, but after that
:33:44. > :33:53.Hibernian's ruthless streak showed through. James Keating 's made it
:33:54. > :33:57.two, Chris Humphrey put in the third, then Dean Hoskins got a
:33:58. > :34:04.lifeline for Bonnyrigg Rose. It was a penalty and Dean Hoskins fired it
:34:05. > :34:15.into make it 3-1 for Hibs. Then Hibs resumed normal business after the
:34:16. > :34:20.break. Jason Cummings made it four, then he got another one to make it
:34:21. > :34:27.six, Jason Keating 's made it 7-1. Then Jordan Foster with a downward
:34:28. > :34:31.header from a free kick made it 8-1. Thanks for bearing with me and
:34:32. > :34:39.making it through all those goals. The Bonnyrigg fans are clapping the
:34:40. > :34:43.team, but their journey is over. Chris McLaughlin has been quiet this
:34:44. > :34:48.afternoon, but he will have plenty to tell us about the mass between
:34:49. > :34:54.modern and Falkirk. It was a good contest, but the home side is
:34:55. > :34:56.deserving of 2-0 victory. Jamie Lindsay and Ross Forbes got goals
:34:57. > :35:00.deserving of 2-0 victory. Jamie either side of the break. I
:35:01. > :35:04.defensive mix-up in the Falkirk defence and the visitors had a
:35:05. > :35:13.couple of decent chances, the best way James Craig. But it was saved at
:35:14. > :35:19.point-blank range. But Morton are through. Not only are they threw to
:35:20. > :35:28.the next round, they are also stretching their unbeaten run to 17
:35:29. > :35:34.games at Cappielow. Morton are through and so are their arch rivals
:35:35. > :35:42.St Mirren. Perhaps the surprise of the day. A shock win for Morton
:35:43. > :35:49.which caused a real upset. Sutton fired St Mirren in front after 25
:35:50. > :35:55.minutes. Gary McKenzie swept another one in from ten yards. A whole host
:35:56. > :36:00.of chances wasted, but St Mirren deserve their place in the next
:36:01. > :36:05.round. Charlie, I was on the verge of coming to you earlier when it
:36:06. > :36:11.struck full-time in Dingwall. I hope it has been worth waiting for.
:36:12. > :36:16.Always worth waiting for for you, David! But not much of a game here
:36:17. > :36:21.this afternoon. All the action was in the first half. McKeever had a
:36:22. > :36:24.header for Queens Park which was cleared off the line. Paul Wood
:36:25. > :36:32.might have done better with another effort. Brian McKeever nearly scored
:36:33. > :36:40.an own goal for Queens Park and Scott McKenna had a header for Ayr
:36:41. > :36:45.United. The second half died a death. Not much happened at all.
:36:46. > :36:49.They all do it again on Tuesday at Camden and that will be a whole lot
:36:50. > :36:55.by death, let me assure you. That is a bold prediction. The surprise of
:36:56. > :37:01.the day, St Mirren winning away to Dundee. We were chatting earlier and
:37:02. > :37:10.St Mirren are like specialists. They are in the Challenge Cup semis.
:37:11. > :37:14.There you go. We were both at the 1987 cup final when St Mirren won
:37:15. > :37:20.it. 30 years ago. That shows our age. It was a long time ago and that
:37:21. > :37:27.was the very first game of football I went to, so it is quite evocative
:37:28. > :37:31.for me for St Mirren to get to that cup final. It is a fantastic result
:37:32. > :37:38.and I hope it gives them a confidence boost. Elgin city against
:37:39. > :37:42.Premiership Inverness. Inverness put their name in the draw for the next
:37:43. > :37:48.round, but it was not exactly plain sailing. In front of over 3000 fans,
:37:49. > :37:57.it was the home side that took the lead. Larnell Cole got his first
:37:58. > :38:01.goal for his new club and Doumbouya had a header denied by the crossbar.
:38:02. > :38:08.Then he made up for it, albeit with a little deflection. It may have
:38:09. > :38:14.been harsh on Elgin who can take plenty of positives from this
:38:15. > :38:25.performance. It finished 2-1. That takes us nicely to today's
:38:26. > :38:27.classified round-up. And we begin today with the William Hill Scottish
:38:28. > :39:17.Cup fourth round. A couple of games tomorrow. Raith
:39:18. > :42:43.Rovers against Hearts is on BBC live.
:42:44. > :42:49.Right, enough talk about English football. Let's get back to the
:42:50. > :42:54.Scottish Cup and we can talk to Allan Preston, who was watching one
:42:55. > :42:59.of the matches this afternoon, St Johnstone against Stenhousemuir. At
:43:00. > :43:02.full-time and McDiarmid Park, 2-0, the 200 -- 2014 runners-up through
:43:03. > :43:06.to the last 16 with a comfortable victory, two goals in the first
:43:07. > :43:09.half, the first in the sixth minute, Blair Alston to the byline and his
:43:10. > :43:13.outswinging cross was met by Steven MacLean with a diving header from
:43:14. > :43:18.five yards, to put the Saints 1-0 up. 2-0 on 32 minutes, Steven
:43:19. > :43:22.MacLean with a lovely backheel into the path of Blair Alston and his 20
:43:23. > :43:27.yard deflected shot found the back of the net. Total domination from
:43:28. > :43:31.the Saints, they had chances, five, six, seven, Cummings had an effort,
:43:32. > :43:34.Swanson and Steven MacLean again, Shaughnessy with a couple of headers
:43:35. > :43:40.over but all credit to Stenhousemuir, they dug in, in the
:43:41. > :43:48.second half and kept it to two. League 1 Stenhousemuir out and let's
:43:49. > :43:53.find out how Alloa Athletic bail at -- bed this afternoon attended an
:43:54. > :43:58.firm in from the Championship. Let's welcome Jim Spence back to the show.
:43:59. > :44:01.It finished 2-3, nervous into the game which Dunfermline seem to be
:44:02. > :44:06.travelling in one direction, towards the fifth round, Nicky Clarke on 12
:44:07. > :44:09.minutes, Paul McMullen on 43 and Joe Cardle on 61 had given them what
:44:10. > :44:14.looked like an unassailable lead, 3-0 up but back came Alloa Athletic,
:44:15. > :44:20.on 67 minutes a fine goal from McCluskey and them off curled a shot
:44:21. > :44:24.which the keeper saved but they came scoring back -- storming back and
:44:25. > :44:27.scored with a minute to go. Then another fine save from the Alloa
:44:28. > :44:32.Athletic keeper as the game swung into end but Dunfermline progressed.
:44:33. > :44:35.Good result for Dunfermline and now we can hear from a former
:44:36. > :44:41.Dunfermline hero, Jim McIntyre. Now manager of Ross County, of course.
:44:42. > :44:47.He spoke after their 6-2 win over Dundee United, two Alasdair Lamont.
:44:48. > :44:50.It was an emphatic victory but it didn't always necessarily feel like
:44:51. > :44:55.it was going to be. No, I think in the second half, we have actually
:44:56. > :44:58.been a bit sloppy at times, you know, and made it hard that
:44:59. > :45:02.ourselves. I thought in the first off, some of the play was
:45:03. > :45:06.exceptional and we made two mistakes and United have punished us twice
:45:07. > :45:10.which then gives them a wee bit of belief that they can come back into
:45:11. > :45:15.the game. The second half, we knew they would come out and have a go
:45:16. > :45:17.and they certainly done that. But I thought defensively, we managed to
:45:18. > :45:26.deal with that. A lot of balls coming into the box. Scott has not
:45:27. > :45:30.had any real notable saves to make. But it was a real mixed bag from us
:45:31. > :45:35.today. We had some brilliant play, scored some great goals but we also
:45:36. > :45:42.made some really, you know, poor decisions, some basic mistakes that
:45:43. > :45:45.put us under pressure. Despite scoring six goals, Ross County not
:45:46. > :45:49.the top scorers of the day. That distinction belongs to Hibs, the cup
:45:50. > :45:54.holders were 8-1 winners against Bonnyrigg Rose and now we can hear
:45:55. > :45:57.from Neil Lennon. You must be delighted to get through because
:45:58. > :46:02.beforehand, you had been talking about this game potentially causing
:46:03. > :46:07.some problems. But 8-1 tells its own story. Yeah, a very good
:46:08. > :46:10.performance, the attitude was great. Just some sloppy moments in the
:46:11. > :46:15.first half. The second half was excellent. That will give the
:46:16. > :46:19.players a lift. Some players needed the game as well, and to get on the
:46:20. > :46:24.scoresheet, the likes of Keatings and Jason pops up with a couple as
:46:25. > :46:27.well but overall, I'm very pleased. Obviously the most important thing
:46:28. > :46:32.is we are in the next round. Keith, that is a bit harsh on Bonnyrigg
:46:33. > :46:36.Rose. Could they not have eased up a little bit? I think when you out
:46:37. > :46:42.there, you just play and keep going. It's fantastic result and expected,
:46:43. > :46:47.and they have taken care of that. Would you like to select your cup
:46:48. > :46:51.upset of the day? I know what it is going to be. There wasn't much
