This could be something sensational. Right out of the top drawer. The | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
shot is an absolute beauty. Oh, yes! It is unbelievable, unbelievable! | :00:22. | :00:38. | |
What a finish. Right here, right now, this is history. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Good evening. It is all about contrasty emotions tonight. Success, | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
despair, relief, and the fate of one team remains in limbo. All the | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
action coming up. With this in the studio, Steven Thompson and Michael | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
Stewart. It has been a sensational season for Celtic, the final league | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
match of the campaign at home against Toral, the Ladbroke | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
Premiership trophy to be presented at the end. | :01:13. | :01:21. | |
Griffiths is chosen to spite his altercation with the manager. Hearts | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
without a win in five, and a debut for 19-year-old Jamie Brandon. Can | :01:29. | :01:40. | |
they finish on a high? Not far away at all! He was well capable of | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
scoring from there. On the scoresheet again against Partick | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
Thistle in the week. Hearts without a win over Celtic since 2012. They | :01:51. | :01:58. | |
haven't won here since 2009. Tierney lets fly. What a fabulous season for | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
him, you scored his first Celtic goal the final day of last season. | :02:03. | :02:15. | |
Smith's run, and it is Simunovic on the team today. That is a foul by | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
the Croatian, and it has presented Hearts with a more than decent | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
chance. A free kick opportunity on the edge of the Celtic box might be | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
their best chance to get something out of this. It is Tziolis with the | :02:31. | :02:43. | |
effort. Rising up the wrong time for the Greek international. | :02:44. | :02:50. | |
Scott Sinclair, McGregor's effort blocked, but it is a corner. In | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
order to achieve their highest points tally, they want the most | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
goals in the season, and the biggest gap between first and second as | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
well. Griffiths with the delivery, it was Boyata's shot which was saved | :03:07. | :03:17. | |
by Noring. It is the closest they have come to breaking the deadlock. | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
Noring got onto that. The big moment, Hearts trying to keep | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
sultanate at bay here. Celtic claimed penalty here, but this is | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
majestic once again from Patrick Roberts. | :03:42. | :03:55. | |
Lovely play, Griffiths! Well and truly get the party started for | :03:56. | :04:08. | |
Celtic. Fabulous delivery here by Patrick Roberts. And Celtic through | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Leigh Griffiths move that little bit closer to an invincible league | :04:16. | :04:16. | |
season. Lovely ball, a chance here for | :04:17. | :04:34. | |
Griffiths again. He was onside. He feels as though he should have got | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
his and Celtic's second. Really good run there, he turned it to | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
perfection. Tierney was upended, play on. Scott Sinclair, the | :04:47. | :04:55. | |
football rights' Association Player of the Year. This is Armstrong, he | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
claims he was held. Since the goal, Celtic have relaxed, | :05:01. | :05:21. | |
and it is a Hearts. He is the sponsors Player of the Season, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
Brown. Stuart Armstrong is going to have a | :05:25. | :05:36. | |
go, without a doubt. Just past. The Celtic supporters once again, giving | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
their voice to the Lisbon Lions. Burns is away, and through it comes | :05:40. | :05:55. | |
for Sinclair. He misses it, but Armstrong doesn't! What a season he | :05:56. | :06:07. | |
has had. Let the festivities begin. They will be unbeaten in the | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Premiership. What an achievement, and Stuart Armstrong ensures another | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
three points for the champions. That goal gives Celtic their best | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
ever tally in the league. Toure gave it away there, he is on | :06:27. | :06:56. | |
as a sub for Simunovic. And they almost pulled one back, the | :06:57. | :06:57. | |
visitors. A chance to cross here, it will drop | :06:58. | :07:12. | |
to Martin, Craig Gordon called interaction there. Brandon has had a | :07:13. | :07:21. | |
really fine debut. Celtic just about there, the referee checks his watch | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
and he ends the season, and Celtic are invincible. They are | :07:26. | :07:36. | |
indomitable. They are invaluable. Unbeatable Celtic under Brendan | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
Rodgers, and what a job he has done from top to bottom of this club. | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
By this time next week they could be a trouble winning Celtic. For now, | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
they will bask in the glory of a sixth successive title, the | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
silverware which they will touch very, very soon, and this is what it | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
is all about for them. They have been an untouchable in the | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Premiership, and it will be at the very least a double, Chris Coleman | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
signs off having not played it for them this season. The most goals | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
they have scored in a season, the most points they have had in a | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
season, their biggest title margin of victory, Celtic are the champions | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
of Scotland once again, and for 2016/17, what a campaign. For this | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
team to have gone through a whole season, to have gone 34 games and | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
drawn four, it is a remarkable achievement. It may never happen in | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
a lifetime again for many people, but the players, the work that they | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
have put in to achieve that is absolutely phenomenal, and they | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
deserve all the plaudits on the credit they get. It is about how we | :08:54. | :09:03. | |
play, we were getting the ball down past, and coming up very quickly, | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
and the trouble was talked about after Aberdeen, can we win and be | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
unbeaten and go and get the trouble? We are only one step away. The | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
players deserve to celebrate success, that is very important, but | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
then we have to refocus, one more game left, we are going to finish | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
that well, we want to win the cup, that was one of our goals. And maybe | :09:29. | :09:36. | |
later on when we have arrested the holiday, but you tend not to think | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
so much while you are in the moment because you always having to think | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
of tomorrow, and that is some NI tend to do. | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
Huge congratulations, and I think it is fair to say they enjoy that. How | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
big an achievement is this? It is phenomenal, total domination from | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
Celtic and Brendan Rodgers, and what a first season for him, it is almost | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
perfect and it could be by next Saturday. Some people try to devalue | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
the achievement by saying Rangers have been poor this year, but to go | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
whole season unbeaten, they played games without a recognised striker, | :10:14. | :10:19. | |
and to go the whole season without injuries, refereeing decisions going | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
against you, unbeaten, it is a phenomenal achievement, and I don't | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
think we will see it again. They have had moments that have gone | :10:27. | :10:29. | |
against them, but they have shown the resilience of the team and not | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
allowed it to end in defeat. They have had their backs against the | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
wall and come up with the answers, an unbelievable achievement. Could | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
they do it again next year? I wouldn't put it past them! A | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
lifetime achievement according to Brendan Rodgers. I wouldn't put it | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
past them getting a double trouble next year, -- a double treble next | :10:49. | :11:03. | |
year. It is remarkable to go the whole season. Roberts has been | :11:04. | :11:13. | |
genius, and flashes of genius again. He has got such trickery and pace, | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
and for a full-back playing against him, they must be hating playing | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
against him. Today he was absolutely pivotal to everything that was | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
positive from a Celtic perspective, another great Wall in from | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
Griffiths. This was very poor from a Hearts point defensively, great all | :11:37. | :11:44. | |
in, great header. Is he on his way back to Manchester City, or should | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Celtic try to sign him? This is a wonderful strike, it shows they have | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
different styles of goals. In terms of Manchester City, I don't see him | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
going back and playing, so it is a tough one for Patrick Roberts. I'm | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
pretty sure Celtic are exploring ways and means of trying to get him. | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
I don't think he is worth 12 million. What, then? I think half of | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
that, Celtic would contemplate a deal. If they could get value for | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
Patrick Roberts, I'm pretty sure they would look to try to keep him. | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
You know what it is like to win a trouble, you have lifted the trophy | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
a couple of times. A huge match for Celtic next weekend, how big other | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
celebrations tonight? It is a very important game for them to play on | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
Saturday. They have known they have won the league for months, Sela | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
could have celebrated a while ago. They can celebrate all they want on | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
Saturday if they beat Aberdeen. And in terms of Hearts. End of season | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
report card as far as you are concerned? Brutal. It is not | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
particularly great. They have taken less points than any other to in the | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
Premiership. That is startling, and there will have to be a huge upturn | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
in fortunes next season. Any positives? Not really. Aberdeen take | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
on Celtic next weekend. How will a sign of the league | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
campaign? Alan Archibald is missing ten | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
first-team players fitted a's game. As far as Aberdeen are concerned, | :13:32. | :13:44. | |
just a couple of changes. Hayes with the delivery. And Christy | :13:45. | :14:04. | |
completely unmarked has smashed home, and Aberdeen have an early | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
lead. He really caught hold of that, Ryan Christie. No chance of mark | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
Rangers stopping that. And Aberdeen with the ideal start. They could | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
have been forgiven for taking this one. Taking it a little easier than | :14:24. | :14:32. | |
normal with a cup final next weekend. Logan shooting at goal, but | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
he drags it wide. Jonny Hayes, three Partick Thistle | :14:36. | :14:54. | |
players around him. That is a good ball into the box, Ash Taylor off | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
the crossbar and it falls to Scott Wright to double the Aberdeen lead. | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
It is a first Aberdeen goal for the 19-year-old. He has got his chance | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
at the starting line-up, and he has taken it already. 2-0 Aberdeen, they | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
are on fire. Christie for Kenny McLean. Scott | :15:14. | :15:29. | |
Wright gives him the option, and it is two goals for Scott Wright, three | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
for Aberdeen. They are really in the mood this afternoon, a perfectly | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
weighted pass from Maclean, and Ridgers has been at his near post. | :15:43. | :15:55. | |
Thistle really not at the races. A chance to reduce the deficit, but he | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
couldn't get onto the rebound, and Azeez passing up the opportunity. | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
Logan is being urged forward by his manager, gets it back from Kenny | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
McLean. There is the dummy from Rooney, and the goal from Jonny | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
Hayes. 4-0 Aberdeen, this is phenomenal stuff. No sign of them | :16:23. | :16:33. | |
taking their foot off the gas with Hampton on the horizon. Scott Wright | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
looks really up for this one. It is eight all in for Christie, who is | :16:41. | :16:51. | |
appended. Up ended. Appeals for a penalty, he is completely taken out. | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
Partick Thistle try to find something to cling onto. Barton for | :16:59. | :17:09. | |
Azeez, but it just wouldn't go in. Really good defending their by | :17:10. | :17:21. | |
Taylor, and Doolan well off target. Jonny Hayes with what might have | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
been a high boot, but allowed to continue by the referee. And it is a | :17:26. | :17:33. | |
second goal for Ryan Christie, eight of the season from the man on loan | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
from Celtic. That is a peach from Christie, he couldn't have got it | :17:41. | :17:41. | |
any sweeter. Can Aberdeen keep up the momentum | :17:42. | :17:50. | |
from the first half? It would be quite outstanding if they could. A | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
couple of changes, Ryan Jack you can see in the picture they're coming | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
on, important for him to get some minutes under his belt. And it is a | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
hat-trick for Scott Wright. It took a deflection, but there is no | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
question, Scott Wright will be claiming that one. It seemed to come | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
off Lindsay last. He hadn't scored the Aberdeen before today, Scott | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Wright. What a day for the young man, and Aberdeen looked like they | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
might not be finished yet. Christie also on a hat-trick, flashing it | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
across the face of goal. This might break for Azeez, he is | :18:32. | :18:47. | |
behind, the corner, and Lewis thwarted him. Azeez once more, and | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
Lewis gathers that one. It just has not been Partick Thistle's day at | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
all. With key players out today, I think it showed. There were kids we | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
had to put on, and you don't want to introduce them in an environment | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
like that when the game is competitive. I'm pleased we came | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
through without any injuries, which was the most important thing. To | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
take 76 points and break our own SPL record, I have been delighted with | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
the players in this league campaign. They deserve so much credit, and I | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
hope they get a lot of praise for that because they deserve it. | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
6-0 victory Aberdeen, midweek victory against Rangers at Ibrox, | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
and the cup final next weekend, coming to the boil at just the right | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
time? There is no doubt that in stark contrast to the previous | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
years, Derek has had Aberdeen split, they have not done particularly | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
well. They have got back cup final, and they are coming to the boil at | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
the perfect time, because they are in a real good vein of form, and a | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
lot of credit to them, as Derek said, they are without a shadow of a | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
doubt the team that are challenging Celtic the closest, and they, we | :20:13. | :20:21. | |
have spoken about how good they are, Aberdeen at the top and they are due | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
a lot of credit. And what a week for them to go down to Ibrox, and to | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
then follow that up with an emphatic win and Partick today. And no doubt | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
about the star of the show, his second start, and a hat-trick. He | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
will take it. He hasn't really been used that often, but he certainly | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
had a brilliant match today. He is a pacey, tricky winger, and that was a | :20:49. | :21:02. | |
good run and a good strike. His third is fortuitous because it takes | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
a deflection, but he makes it. Another one where you are operating | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
in space, in tight areas. The interesting thing for me, Niall | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
McGinn leaving in the summer, he is an ideal youth product. Is he | :21:18. | :21:25. | |
playing himself into contention as a starting player for the cup final? | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
You never know, but I think you'll find that Niall McGinn will be back | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
in for that. Players performing so well that Aberdeen at the moment, | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
but at the same time, I know neither of you expect them to overturn them | :21:38. | :21:50. | |
Celtic are the favourites, there is no question of it, but they have to | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
try to find a way to lay a glove on Celtic. There are ways, and I'm sure | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
that they will be working to do that. Will Ryan Jack play a part? | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
That is a good question. If Derek McInnes was picking his strongest | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
side, it does throw up a question mark whether he will be in the side, | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
and I would be surprised if he is not. It has been a day to forget the | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Partick Thistle, it has petered out for them in terms of the end. | :22:21. | :22:29. | |
Reaching the top six was good for them, but they have only ever beaten | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
a top six side twice this season. The two best sides in the country go | :22:38. | :22:39. | |
head-to-head next weekend. The waiting is over for Aberdeen, | :22:40. | :22:50. | |
they are through to their first Scottish Cup final in 17 years. | :22:51. | :22:57. | |
Brendan Rodgers' Celtic take another step towards the treble. They are in | :22:58. | :23:05. | |
the Scottish Cup final. S the William Hill Scottish Cup final, | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
Celtic versus Aberdeen, 1:15pm on Saturday, live coverage, join us on | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
BBC One Scotland, with highlights a night at five past ten. Another | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
chance to relive the magic of the cup. | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
After his war of words in the week with Derek McInnes, how much of a | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
battle with Pedro Caixinha face against St Johnstone? | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
No St Johnstone swansong for Swanson. Income Austen, Craig and | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
Maclean. Rangers make five changes, which include a debut for Jak | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
Alnwick in place of Wes Foderingham, and a first starred start the bar | :23:53. | :24:08. | |
Jenas. -- Barjonas. It comes back in from Miller, and in goes Steven | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
MacLean. He got there before the goalkeeper, and Alnwick was relieved | :24:16. | :24:28. | |
to see this effort go wide. Richard Foster against his old team, and a | :24:29. | :24:29. | |
good effort from Craig Thomson. The angled strike from the | :24:30. | :24:42. | |
youngster, and Alnwick was clutching at that. | :24:43. | :24:54. | |
John Toral, lovely ball for Kenny Miller, and at full stretch, he | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
couldn't quite hit the target. Top quality written all over the pass | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
from Toral. The upland under from Shaughnessy, and it is Kane. | :25:09. | :25:19. | |
Opportunity knocking for Kane. Kenny Miller drops deep to pick up | :25:20. | :25:35. | |
possession. Martyn Waghorn against Tam Scobbie. And there is Miller! It | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
is the opening goal. Five minutes away from half-time, and Kenny | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
Miller just continues to deliver for Rangers. | :25:50. | :26:04. | |
Thomson wrestling with Bierman and comes out on top. Fingertips from | :26:05. | :26:15. | |
Alnwick diverted this over the top. It would have been some goal from | :26:16. | :26:16. | |
Craig, the build-up was top-notch. In goes Blair Alston, but Tavernier | :26:17. | :26:36. | |
is away from him, it is Toral! And that is 2-0. Just eight minutes | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
after the interval, Rangers extend their advantage, and it was all | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
about that one along the byline from Tavernier, and the measured finish | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
from John Toral. Wind as weaving away. Waghorn | :26:50. | :27:06. | |
looking for the glimmer of a chance. And he fires over the top, and you | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
can tell from his reaction he knew he should have done better. | :27:12. | :27:21. | |
Miller, and that is a good ball for Waghorn, and again, first touch | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
good, second touch a big disappointment. | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
Foster tries to escape the clutches of McKay. It is back into the danger | :27:36. | :27:50. | |
zone, and Graham Cummins gets St Johnstone back into the game. But | :27:51. | :28:01. | |
wayward header was really costly. Cummins's strike, 76 minutes played, | :28:02. | :28:02. | |
it is now 2-1. Chris Millar, Cummins, Steven | :28:03. | :28:15. | |
MacLean! Great save from Jak Alnwick, but he will be thinking he | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
should have levelled things up here. Big chance for Tommy Wright's team. | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
Kenny Miller is still full of running. Brings Jamie Barjonas into | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
the game, it is the 18-year-old Barjonas, and it is a really good | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
save from Alan Mannus. What a moment this would have been for the | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
teenager had he scored on his first start. Clubs have come into the | :28:45. | :28:54. | |
league, so I can't commend my players enough for what they have | :28:55. | :28:57. | |
put in this season. A good win for Rangers. What | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
happened to St Johnstone, usually so sturdy at the back, but at times, | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
they were found wanting? Two very avoidable goals. Poor goals to lose, | :29:08. | :29:13. | |
and again, Kenny Miller picks up the ball in acres of space, where is the | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
midfield? And look at his energy levels? Not one St Johnstone player | :29:21. | :29:28. | |
tries to track him. Chris Millar is trying to blame Eastern, and he is | :29:29. | :29:40. | |
trying to blame Miller. He has got to stop Tavernier there, he can't | :29:41. | :29:45. | |
allow him to go along the byline and pick it out. John Toral, a neat | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
finish, but one of the players have to recognise there are plenty of | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
bodies back and they have got to pick up the man rather than just | :29:54. | :29:57. | |
filling the space. St Johnstone talking about getting a bit of pace | :29:58. | :30:00. | |
up front the next season, they have to replace Danny Swanson. Pedro | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
Caixinha bouncing around with the fans at the end of the match, what | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
did you make of that war of words he had with Derek McInnes during the | :30:09. | :30:13. | |
week? It backfired for him, it gave Derek McInnes his team talk, and I | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
think he has got too much to say. He has to keep his cards close to his | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
chest at times, maybe that is just the way he is or maybe he will | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
change next season, but it backfired, that is for sure. A big | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
summer in store for Pedro Caixinha, and Rangers. This week talking about | :30:32. | :30:37. | |
spending the whole season getting money on the playing staff. What did | :30:38. | :30:39. | |
you make of that? They're in a position already where | :30:40. | :30:49. | |
the club is losing money annually. Where is the season ticket money | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
going now if not on the playing staff? They need more if they are | :30:54. | :30:57. | |
going to put in a challenge. Dave King spoke about tens of millions | :30:58. | :31:00. | |
that are going to be spent. Where is that money Putting in the finances | :31:01. | :31:06. | |
to catch Celtic, it is to catch Aberdeen. | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
OK, the relegation fight had gone down to the wire. Hamilton | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
Academical started second bottom. They knew that victory over Dundee | :31:17. | :31:22. | |
would keep them safe from automatic relegation. Commentary from Liam | :31:23. | :31:24. | |
McLeod. Captain Devlin is back with Redmond | :31:25. | :31:38. | |
and Templeton, who starts for the first time. | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
Vincent and Ross in the Dundee team. Gomez does not make it. | :31:45. | :31:50. | |
Four defeats on the spin for Hamilton. This is Paul McGowan... | :31:51. | :31:58. | |
He still has it. Best chance of the game so far. | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
And it falls at the feet of McGowan gou. Slack from Accies, as it has | :32:05. | :32:11. | |
been so often for them in recent times. We await to see if Neil | :32:12. | :32:19. | |
fancies the job full-time. Bingham scores it. | :32:20. | :32:28. | |
A huge goal for Hamilton Academical. Scored by Bingham. Devlin's header. | :32:29. | :32:34. | |
Bingham on the line to turn it home. And that is exactly what Accies | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
needed. Hamilton know it doesn't matter what | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
Inverness do at home to Motherwell, so long as they take care of their | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
own business. Bingham has given them a big chance to do just that. | :32:45. | :32:58. | |
That goal a moment ago... Skondras! That might just save Hamilton. | :32:59. | :33:05. | |
And provide them with the relative sanctuary of the fightoff final. | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
What a hit that is from Skondras, who picks this moment to score his | :33:11. | :33:12. | |
first goal for the club. Dundee have not really turned up to | :33:13. | :33:24. | |
the party. That is a good ball. Come all the way through to go go. | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
Now he has the break. It is hoped, it is passed. | :33:28. | :33:54. | |
A Dundee goal goes goes in and you never know which way this afternoon | :33:55. | :33:59. | |
will turn. This is not a bad effort! A really good first half display | :34:00. | :34:03. | |
this by Accies. Arguably their best of the season. | :34:04. | :34:10. | |
Dundee, of course safe. And as far as Cally Thistle are concerned, you | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
can never really rely on a team that is safe. Michael Devlin has gone | :34:15. | :34:20. | |
down. It is not good news. He just made it today. A play-off final | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
looming now, you would imagine Accies look like they're going to be | :34:25. | :34:31. | |
without their skipper. A heavy touch. | :34:32. | :34:38. | |
Gets away with it. This is Templeton. | :34:39. | :34:41. | |
Lovely play. Really good from Templeton. | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
That's a terrific save. Bingham can't turn it home. It is a corner, | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
though. Haven't seen this too often, | :34:51. | :35:00. | |
Templeton in full flow. Templeton... | :35:01. | :35:05. | |
That's brilliant! Really good! Penalty. | :35:06. | :35:09. | |
And Accies are going to have a chance to save their skins. If they | :35:10. | :35:17. | |
haven't done so already. That's fabulous from Templeton. | :35:18. | :35:28. | |
And it is a penalty. Imrie, a former Cally Thistle player | :35:29. | :35:32. | |
twists the knife on the Highlanders. Inverness will go down. Accies will | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
have a chance to stay up. Free kick. Oh, good save by | :35:35. | :35:49. | |
Matthews. A fine piece of goal keeping. A | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
broad smile. Little wonder, given how this afternoon is going for the | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
hosts. It will be a play-off final against | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
Dundee United, the first at Tannadice on Thursday for 4578 | :36:06. | :36:10. | |
Milton. -- Hamilton. Here's Crawford. A chance for four! | :36:11. | :36:17. | |
! And the man who scored their first league goal of the season, at Ibrox, | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
a way back in August, scores what might be their final league goal of | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
the season here. That adds a bit of icing to the | :36:29. | :36:35. | |
cake. Neil McCann will be devastated with | :36:36. | :36:39. | |
the performance today. It has been about Hamilton who have staved off | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
the drop, for now, at least. Dundee United await them. | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
A fantastic performance. Similar against Ross County. Got what they | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
deserved through the week. We didn't. That is the frustrating that | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
we have ended up in this position. The positive thing is that's two | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
real good performances. We need to take them into the next two games. | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
It will be huge. The objective has been done. I managed to help the | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
club stay in the Premiership for next season. I'm not happy with the | :37:09. | :37:11. | |
end result. It is not the way I wanted to finish this season. | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
Whether people say it is job done or not, I am proud of that part of it. | :37:18. | :37:18. | |
I am not proud of how it finished. Finish second bottom of the table. | :37:19. | :37:27. | |
In the Premiership play-off final. They will be up against Dundee | :37:28. | :37:31. | |
United. Join us for the first leg of that highlight. | :37:32. | :37:38. | |
11. 15pm on BBC Two Scotland. The question has to be, which of those | :37:39. | :37:39. | |
sides goes into that as favourites? A tough question. If you put the two | :37:40. | :37:50. | |
sides into a game without any of the stuff beforehand, in terms of number | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
of games, injuries, I think Dundee unite Road a better side. Obviously | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
you is to take into account the number of games they played of late. | :37:58. | :38:03. | |
The number of j irries, talking about wound -- injuries, talking | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
about the walking wounded. The result yesterday against Dundee, but | :38:09. | :38:12. | |
making it into account, I feel Dundee United will get through by | :38:13. | :38:20. | |
hook or crook... On fire in these play-off games. The ex-Hamilton | :38:21. | :38:24. | |
player. It is a hard one to call. Very tight. What about the fatigue | :38:25. | :38:30. | |
question? It is a decent gap. They have six days to recover. I don't | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
think it is an issue. We raised the question during the week, Dundee | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
United be struggling last 20 minutes because of the amount of games they | :38:39. | :38:45. | |
played? They finished stronger. Is there a natural gap at that level, | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
bottom and then top of the Premiership? You look at the teams | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
at the top of the Premiership, better than some at the bottom of | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
the Premiership. I don't think that is an argument that holds any | :39:00. | :39:00. | |
weight. What about Templeton? You see the | :39:01. | :39:12. | |
awareness of where to cause teams problems. It was a lovely flick here | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
to Skondras for the goal. Put it on a plate for Skondras, didn't head? | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
Look at this here. Playing between the lines, knowing how to hurt the | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
opposition - wonderful feet and skill. Good to see him back. Why | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
he's not played a game in nearly two years Injury problems and the fact | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
he's been out of contract. It amazes me. Again you see wonderful feet, | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
tight areas, wokking around the opposition and getting a penalty. | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
This game against Ross County, getting another goal. He's got real | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
ability to cause problems for the opposition in the final third. Going | :39:52. | :39:55. | |
back to your question, could he be the difference for Hamilton? He | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
could. He's, everything in those clips, we have seen he's a player | :40:01. | :40:06. | |
capable of doing that. Let's talk about Neil McCann. Not a happy man. | :40:07. | :40:10. | |
Do you think this affects his decision when it comes to taking | :40:11. | :40:14. | |
over on a full-time basis, if that is his call in the end? He will be | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
frustrated. He's right in what he says, they have achieved what they | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
had to do, which was to stay up. The last two games have been below the | :40:23. | :40:26. | |
standard. Conceded six goals, scored none. He will want assurances from | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
the board that the mopny is there for him to improve this squad, a | :40:31. | :40:33. | |
squad which has not been good enough this season by a long way. It is a | :40:34. | :40:38. | |
big decision for Neil, it really is. I know he's passionate about Dundee | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
and about coaching. He's got lot to think about. Do you think the | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
pundit's chair is looking Everything was positive. These last | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
couple of games he will be disappointed. Standing in front of | :40:55. | :40:58. | |
the camera, I am sure he would not want to do interviews after results | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
like that. It raises a difficult proposition for him whether to take | :41:04. | :41:11. | |
the job or not. Cally Thistle would finish bottom of the table. Of | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
course Richie Foran's side didn't know it at the time. | :41:15. | :41:33. | |
Motherwell don't have Scott McDonald. 18-year-old. | :41:34. | :41:46. | |
Campbell starting. A good hit from the central defender | :41:47. | :42:02. | |
and the former Motherwell man, stretching Griffiths. Works the | :42:03. | :42:12. | |
one-two, with Moult. This looks promising for Ainsworth. Didn't | :42:13. | :42:18. | |
really catch the shot, Ainsworth. This was so close. | :42:19. | :42:27. | |
Foran praying for an opening goal. Here's Draper. In goes Raven. What a | :42:28. | :42:38. | |
chance! He's missed it! Well how Inverness Caley Thistle | :42:39. | :42:40. | |
could have done with this going in. Fisher on the left-hand side. | :42:41. | :43:08. | |
Off and running... Beyond Warren. And some angry team-mates can't | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
believe he's taken this decision. Inverness are relieved. | :43:15. | :43:26. | |
Tansey's corner kick. The header goes wide for Warren. | :43:27. | :43:34. | |
But it is a gloomy mood around the ground the news Hamilton are in | :43:35. | :43:44. | |
front against Dundee. Vigurs finds Polworth. It is Tansey | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
and it's 1-0. A seventh goal of the season for the | :43:49. | :43:54. | |
Aberdeen-bound Tansey. But it's all going to be too little, too late for | :43:55. | :44:00. | |
Inverness Caley Thistle, with Hamilton well on their way to three | :44:01. | :44:04. | |
points at New Douglas Park. Polworth... Tansey. That's 2-0... A | :44:05. | :44:23. | |
quick-fire double for Inverness. Five goals in six games for Fisher. | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
2-0, Inverness. McKay... And the full-back into a | :44:27. | :44:42. | |
good crossing position. That's Draper... That's Fisher and that's | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
3-0. And suddenly, Alex Fisher is | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
Inverness Caley Thistle's top goal scorer. That is it for the season, | :44:54. | :44:59. | |
but these aren't going to matter a whole lot. | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
Stephen Robinson looks less than happy. And you can understand it. | :45:04. | :45:16. | |
Frear with a touch. On to the crossbar and McFadden scores for | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
Motherwell. Small consolation. It's 3-1. | :45:22. | :45:31. | |
A good save. Off the bench McFadden scores. | :45:32. | :45:44. | |
Frear... McFadden, the assistant manager and now invited to shoot, | :45:45. | :45:53. | |
Inverness Caley Thistle backed off. Back from Draper. Away by Esson. | :45:54. | :46:02. | |
Heneghan. Good touch. Here's Frear... Lovely pass. And he's | :46:03. | :46:11. | |
bundled over by David Raven. That will be a penalty inside stoppage | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
time. And a chance for Motherwell to get another goal back. There won't | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
be time for much more. It's Ryan Bowman and that makes it | :46:22. | :46:27. | |
3-2. Motherwell beaten, but they are | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
safe, in contrast to Inverness Caley Thistle. The full-time whistle | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
signals their relegation. I'll have a chat with the board probably | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
Monday or Tuesday. I'm 100% behind this club. We'll know by Monday or | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
Tuesday what their thoughts are. Changes to be made on the park, off | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
the park. Personally, I want a smaller squad. | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
We can get two or three bad apples in your dressing room, probably | :46:57. | :46:59. | |
should have got rid of them in January, I didn't. I might have | :47:00. | :47:03. | |
needed them. I stood loyal to a lot of players this season. A few of | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
them didn't repay me. Most of them did. Losing games is not accepted. | :47:08. | :47:13. | |
Watching people celebrate at 3-2 down I find incredible. Maybe that | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
is why we are where we are and why we have battled all season. Maybe | :47:18. | :47:22. | |
defeat was accepted too easily. Inverness Caley Thistle are | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
relegated from the Premiership. Michael, what did you make of Richie | :47:26. | :47:33. | |
Foran's bad apple comments? Richie Foran has come out with so many | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
contradictory statements this season. Bad apples... There may be | :47:38. | :47:44. | |
bad characters in the changing room, you deal with them. Don't get | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
involved with your team and you deal with it that way. He's talking about | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
you know they should have got rid of them in January. Why did you not get | :47:53. | :47:59. | |
rid of them? There are things. Boils down to the fact that Richie Foran | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
is an unexperienced manager, it has proven to be a disastrous | :48:05. | :48:08. | |
appointment. That side should not have gotten relegated. The manager | :48:09. | :48:11. | |
has to take the responsibility for that. Do you see Richie Foran | :48:12. | :48:14. | |
staying on as the manager? It depends. It will cost them money to | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
pay him off. Is the money there to pay him off? Or risk to take them | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
back up... For me, and a footballing basis, you wouldn't have Richie | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
Foran as the manager. If he stays on, that to me suggests it is a | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
money thing. You don't see them bouncing back | :48:34. | :48:37. | |
with Richie Foran? I was going to say the league next year is going to | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
be the easiest championship in a long time, no Rangers, no Hibs. It | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
is there for somebody to win. It has been a tough end to the season for | :48:47. | :48:52. | |
Motherwellover all. You can -- Motherwell over all. We enjoy a | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
McFadden goal from time to time. We do. It will be interesting to see | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
whether he concentrated on the coaching side of things. We waited | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
for it to go into the top corner. He jumped up and headed it in. Like He | :49:08. | :49:15. | |
scored so many over the years. Trying to play, after the preseason. | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
I guess we'll wait and see. Interesting stuff. The battle for | :49:19. | :49:27. | |
seventh place. Kilmarnock needed a victory over Ross County. | :49:28. | :49:30. | |
Commentary from Alasdair Lamont. County make four changes to the side | :49:31. | :49:44. | |
that won against Accies. Franks corner kick headed away by | :49:45. | :50:06. | |
Sammon. Should have done better. Should have | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
hit the target, the Frenchman. He knows it. | :50:10. | :50:20. | |
Good early chance for County. Long ball forward from Naismith. | :50:21. | :50:27. | |
Boyce, doesn't need asking twice. A shot at goal. | :50:28. | :50:42. | |
A neat ball forward for Jones, who has got Franks to beat. It goes down | :50:43. | :50:53. | |
as a penalty kick. Franks protests, but not, it has to | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
be said, to vehemently. And Sammon with a chance to put them | :50:59. | :51:07. | |
ahead from the spot. And he does. Emphatic finish from Sammon for his | :51:08. | :51:16. | |
sixth goal of the season. McCarey was not too far from it, but | :51:17. | :51:22. | |
Sammon hit it well. Franks, keen to make up for the | :51:23. | :51:25. | |
concession of that penal tismt Oh, so close! | :51:26. | :51:33. | |
It's Liam Boyce. Well, he's certainly claiming it. | :51:34. | :51:39. | |
Franks with the initial shot. Beat MacDonald. It comes off MacDonald, | :51:40. | :51:46. | |
on to Boyce. It is 23 for the season. | :51:47. | :52:00. | |
Longstaff stopped in his tracks. Frizzell... A good effort, here's... | :52:01. | :52:19. | |
Oh and a good save. Frizzell two occasions, with saves on the County | :52:20. | :52:21. | |
keeper. High there from Fraser. | :52:22. | :52:41. | |
Kilmarnock are applying the pressure right now. Trying to catch the | :52:42. | :52:54. | |
keeper out there... Malcolm, on his debut, the 20-year-old. | :52:55. | :52:57. | |
Forward for Boyce. In behind the defence. | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
And the cutest of finishes from the deadly striker. One of the worst | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
celebrations in Premiership history, but Boyce has earned the right with | :53:10. | :53:14. | |
those 24 goals. Eight in five games for Boyce. Priceless stuff as far as | :53:15. | :53:19. | |
County are concerned. Schalk with his head in his hands. | :53:20. | :53:45. | |
Done well to avad the challenge, Schalk. He's got options left and | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
right. Franks, he picks w the chance. Boyce might get there. Good | :53:52. | :54:08. | |
goal keeping by Jamie MacDonald. Jamie MacDonald back in the team and | :54:09. | :54:15. | |
proving his worth there. McKenzie... ... Graham linking with | :54:16. | :54:24. | |
him there. A good bit of interplay between the | :54:25. | :54:30. | |
pair. Too tight an angle. Kilmarnock had a good spell in the | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
game. We changed the system, which definitely helped. And we continued | :54:35. | :54:39. | |
to, you know, go and create goal-scoring opportunities. So, | :54:40. | :54:42. | |
really pleased. It was great to get some young lads on the pitch as | :54:43. | :54:49. | |
well. To come down to Here was great. I want to speak to them and | :54:50. | :54:57. | |
see if we can put a plan together for the future of the club. That's | :54:58. | :54:59. | |
all I'm going to say. Can Ross County hang on to him in | :55:00. | :55:18. | |
the summer? He's had a sensational season. Ten goals in his last ten | :55:19. | :55:24. | |
games. Such a vital player for them. He scores all sorts of goals. For | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
the last few seasons, he really has been the talisman. I think, for me, | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
I think there will be clubs interested. It is a question of what | :55:34. | :55:36. | |
price somebody is willing to pay. I don't think there is any doubt, | :55:37. | :55:44. | |
looking at all types of goals he's scoring here. I don't think there is | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
any doubt there'll be a number of clubs in for him. It will have to be | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
a fair wedge of cash to get him away from Ross County. To be the top goal | :55:55. | :56:01. | |
scorer playing for Ross County and finish in the bottom... The point we | :56:02. | :56:08. | |
are making here is that Ross County are not one of the top teams in the | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
league. Not this year. And to be top goal scorer, that is unbelievable | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
opportunity for him. He wouldn't be on Stephen's nominations for Player | :56:20. | :56:22. | |
of the Year though, Liam Boyce? I think there are better in league. | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
You had some in your team? At the halfway point. The oracle and in | :56:27. | :56:33. | |
terms of Kilmarnock, we don't know what will happen them? I think it | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
will happen this week. He must be bored being asked the question. And | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
he'll have a busy summer trying to recruit players. A lot of talented | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
young players at Kilmarnock. There is still quality needed to be added | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
to the squad to compete for the top six. I spoke to the director and he | :56:51. | :56:57. | |
wants McColloch, it will happen, won't it? Kilmarnock are at a stage | :56:58. | :57:04. | |
where it could be pivotal. They have Lee McCollach, who I think will take | :57:05. | :57:10. | |
the job. The fans will come back on board. This is a crucial time for | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
Kilmarnock. There has been malaise... They could get moving | :57:16. | :57:18. | |
forward again. They need a grass pitch. That is what they need. Thank | :57:19. | :57:21. | |
you very much indeed. All that leaves the table looking | :57:22. | :57:24. | |
like this. Rangered and St Johnstone in next | :57:25. | :57:35. | |
season. Hamilton have two more massive games | :57:36. | :57:45. | |
to go. It's not over yet. The play-off | :57:46. | :57:53. | |
final, join us Thursday on Thursday. The Scottish Cup final on Saturday. | :57:54. | :57:57. | |
There's plenty of life in this season yet. From us on the | :57:58. | :58:02. | |
Sportscene team, goodbye for now. In the middle... It is a Famous Five | :58:03. | :58:18. | |
from Celtic. Brown! It's bril brant! | :58:19. | :58:26. | |
That's why they're champions. And Griffiths scores. | :58:27. | :58:33. | |
Unstoppable! They always find a way to win! | :58:34. | :58:46. | |
Another hat-trick! For the finish from Sinclair. | :58:47. | :58:51. | |
Gets the party started for Celtic! When the festivities | :58:52. | :59:00. | |
It would be the greatest night of their lives... | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
the night when Celtic Football Club captured the hearts of Europe... | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
They were like brothers. I loved them. Absolutely loved them. | :59:08. | :59:11. | |
A bunch of boys fae Baillieston, Bellshill and Saltcoats | :59:12. | :59:15. | |
..became the first British club to win the European Cup. | :59:16. | :59:22. |
