Good afternoon and welcome to the Results show.

It's a six game Premiership Saturday - more fun than dooking

for chips at Halloween and a lot less dangerous.

That's why we've roped in two top quality guests.

The man who lead Inverness in their historic Scottish Cup

winning year - John Hughes and former Scotland international

and Sportscene regular Steven Thompson.

There are games afoot across the nation and one results

already determined - let's have a look, shall we?

The lunchtime match, leaders Celtic one against Aberdeen. The game is

underway currently, Dundee one up, Dundee the bottom club. Plenty of

goals at the park, too. Rangers 3-0 up at home. In the championship,

four games on. No goals at Tannadice. There is a game kicking

off at 5:15pm. Right back to the match of the day

at the top of the Premiership. There were seven points

between leaders Celtic and Aberdeen There are now ten

after Celtic's 1-0 win. Here's Liam Mcleod with his story

of the match. Celtic when again, and yet another

huge mug of the champions, who go well clear at the championship --

huge one for the champions. It deceived Joe Lewis and gave the

champions the leader. Armstrong should have made it two at the

break, but contrived to miss from two yards with the goal gaping. But

for Lewis, it would have been more handsome scoreline. He twice, with

the best coming from Scott Sinclair effort. The Dons through what they

had at the visitors, shinny went close as well. It is only October,

but in Aberdeen title challenge looks to be the stuff of fantasy

this campaign. Just one goal there, but plenty across the country. There

has been another at Fir Park between Motherwell and Ross County. Let us

say hello to our reporter. It'll be too little too late for Ross County,

but they have a goal in this game. It is Alex Sharp who has them on the

scoresheet this afternoon. County have been poor, but at Alex Sharp

has at least even the fans something to cheer. Let's return to that big

Match of the Day, the one at lunch time between Aberdeen and Celtic. We

Match of the Day, the one at lunch can hear from both managers and

indeed a Celtic player. First up, it is the Dons boss. There's acceptable

way of losing games, and today was one of them. Too often I have seen

teams play against Celtic. But really, try and have a go against

them. I think the danger of that need don't begin to be too

stretched. Today, they found the quality from the Finnish. We've

shown moments of great football. We pressed the game very well. Moments

where there are direct and going long into the box, we had to stand

up and be counted. It is a tough place to come. I think it has shown

that over a period of time. I thought it was an outstanding result

for us on the back of what has been a difficult week. Of games. To get

the three points, keep another clean sheet, create many chances and win

the game was very pleasing. Always a tough game. Aberdeen did all they

the game was very pleasing. Always a could to beat us, and try to bully

us, but I think today we showed this other side of our game that we can

also play the physical game. That's what a team of completion is about.

The manager saying there are acceptable ways to win a game and I

was one of them, do you agree? I saw there are good in the first half.

There wasn't a lot in it in terms of chances. In the second half, Celtic

up their level. If it wasn't for the Aberdeen goalkeeper, and the save he

makes from Sinclair was shot in the top corner was unbelievable. There

are two or three other good saves. They could have won by more, but in

the end was a great save that kept the score 1-0. Quite a good header.

Celtic uncatchable now, but they also looking like the could be

unbeaten? A tough question, because there's a long way to go. They are

looking very good. If you look at their team selection against Ross

County the other night, it's like they have another team just waiting

to come in. Brendan will be absolutely delighted with that

result. Aberdeen beat Celtic twice last year. At Pittodrie. There might

have had a clever multi--- there might have had a penalty. I've

worked with shinny macro. Said he didn't get clip then? I thought it

was a penalty. That go back to the games that are underway. That

started Ibrox, Rangers against Kilmarnock. Rangers fans will be

happy with this. 3-0 up. Goals from Captain Lee Wallace. The third of

the season and second of the week, they are 3-0 up against Kilmarnock.

Let us move on to the home of Inverness, Tulloch Caledonian

Stadium. They are to home to hearts this afternoon. Let us call upon

Martin Dowden. An absolute cracker here. A brilliant finish after great

work to level. Doumbouya, Hearts back in it. They got level through

across, pastoral onto the net. Doran nicked possession brilliantly. Great

goals, there may well be more. Will hear more if there are. John Barnes

is watching St Johnstone against Partick Thistle. We have to be

content with a point apiece, he says. It is currently 1-1, both

goals coming in the space of 60 seconds in the first half. A free

kick in. At the back post, Doolan was there to hit it in. Stephen

Maclean with a shot from eight yards. It is 1-0. Too far park, and

we can hear once again from Jonathan. -- far park. The ball got

rolling early doors. Then there was an own goal from Van der Weg. Tait

fired home to make it 3-0, before aims worse made it 4-0. Motherwell

very much on top. They have had a goal pulled back, but it will be a

consolation. This will be nine games without a win for Ross County, quite

worrying. To Hamilton, Dundee visitors this afternoon. Dundee at

the bottom club. How is it going? The first half was 45 minutes long,

and that's all you need to know about that. The second has been

better. Dundee are ahead by 1-0. It came after 61 minutes. It was

McGowan at the edge of the box. Another try to get a backheel on it,

didn't get a touch. It beat goalkeeper, who was diving. Since

the goalkeeper, who was diving. Since then Dundee have been a much

more confident side. Hamilton have in themselves today. They beat

Aberdeen here during the week, but trying to fight harder and

equaliser. At the moment, good news for Dundee, the bottom club, leading

1-0 -- leading 1-0. He Banyan -- Hibernian. Sparkling form for the

home side this afternoon. Opening the scoring after eight minutes. The

second 11 minutes before the break. Cruising. Dundee United have just

gone one up. The goals are coming in thick and fast. I don't actually

know where to begin! Let's go to Inverness. Join your firm account

the -- former club. They are due one. The last time, it was 5-1. I

fancied Inverness. They are a good side and if you can keep their own

injury free, you'll get anyone in the league. Interesting team

selection from Hearts. They haven't been scoring a lot of goals. After

the disappointing performance against Kilmarnock during the week,

he busy fancied changes. It was a really good goal in the first half.

He's trying to claim a second goal, but doesn't budget. It is just

across. It is one of those that misses and deceives the goalkeeper.

Another eye-catching school with Motherwell and Ross County. I didn't

see that one coming. Quite a change today. They have certainly made up

for it from midweek. If you see the first goal, McDonald's header. Ross

County will be very disappointed. They came down the right-hand side,

the full-back, all the way and smashed it into the post. The

goalkeeper will be very disappointed, folks. It's great,

they were struggling. They were struggling to score goals a few

weeks ago, and you wonder whether he has changed the emphasis to scoring

goals, now they are leaking goals. You wonder if there is a small

hang-up to the success they had last year. There is this a bit of

stillness when they came back, like Inverness, winning the cup. It will

be put right, I'm sure of that. A poor start to the week after a loss

to Celtic in the League Cup and then a jaw against St Johnstone. There

had to be a reaction on Wednesday night, per against St Johnstone, it

has to be said. It's good to see Ghana getting another goal, that

will boost his confidence -- Garner. He had to win today, and it is a

good success. They could end the day in second spot? I fancy them to

finish second. As we heard America, they have budgeted either. I'm

Wolverton fan, as affable podge -- as a football coach, wishing all the

best. Some critics say he doesn't have a plan B. What is a plan B? Put

a big centre-half upfront? A plan B for me is changing a system. At

Inverness, people try to play straight mid-fielding and getting

beat and really going for it, that a plan B. He doesn't change his system

and tactics either. It's just a case of trying to do it, but doing

better, I think you says. Sometimes it can be predictable. Things aren't

going to plan for Dundee this season, but today there are 1-0. --

they are one up. I'm very pleased with the ball. -- with the goal. It

was daily in the stands! With the supporters. They've really needed a

result, and I'm pleased for them. When you're doing it and losing

games consistently, your confidence goes. And this will give him a

boost. Will start the second bounce at Inverness. It is three apiece in

that thrilling match. It is still thrilling, 3-3. Inverness is coming

up with Gary Warren charging. It came off the post, the referee gave

a free kick. They're going toe to toe, will there be a winner? Will

find out. Let's had to McDiarmid Park, St Johnstone against Partick

Thistle, 1-1. We've just had one for Partick Thistle. That play on the

left-hand side. From ten yards out batters it into the back of the net.

It is one minute into stoppage time and it is 1-2. Remarkable stuff

there. I don't think too many people would have predicted Partick Thistle

getting a win. They have them playing reasonably well and getting

back-to-back wins is brilliant for them. It's been a brilliant match

actually. Very even. St Johnstone will be raging, because to lose at

home after a good result during the will be raging, because to lose at

week will be disappointing. Jonathan, still 4-1 Motherwell

against County? Certainly. Motherwell have an excellent today.

Ross County had their problems, but let's not under emphasise how good

Motherwell were today. They definitely deserve this victory.

It'll be a 4-1 victory. What a great goal for Ainslie. It's been released

a week since highlights on Sportscene, that is definitely one

to watch. They got two in at the end! Let us hear from Paul Mitchell.

Hamilton Dundee, are they still holding on? They are still holding

on. We've had a couple of injuries in the second half. Dundee about to

make a change. This is just going to waste more time. Hamilton had plenty

of the ball in the last ten, 15 minutes but have been unable to

break through the back three. Dundee just trying to waste time. Marcus

Haber almost going backwards as he's coming off the field. Deep into

stoppage time, Dundee lead 1-0. In the championship, off we go to

Easter Road. At the top against the bottom. Still 2-0? It is. It has

been a championship performance this afternoon by the Easter Road side.

Martin Boyle has just received Man of the Match from the sponsors and

will get another round of applause as he is being replaced by

substitute Alex Harris. Another sitting on the bench this afternoon,

terrific decision by the manager. Thank you very much. I believe the

first full-time reports are beginning to trickle in. Let us had

to Fir Park Stadium, final whistle has gone and it finishes 4-1. Yeah

the Motherwell manager told me before the match he wasn't worried

about the team pulls back form, despite three straight defeats going

into this match. To be fair, he has probably been proven correct.

Motherwell got an early goal in this one. It has to be asked about the

Ross County defending. The second well goal from Motherwell at the

back. Bundled over his own line by the defender Van der Weg. A shot at

the near post, seemed to evade the keeper and it was 3-0. Ainsworth

then started to enjoy himself. Rounded the goalkeeper to make it

4-0. Definitely worth watching on the highlights. As for Ross County,

pretty post. This is the ninth game and victory. They did get

consolation goal. He looked lively when he came on off the bench. Of

the second bottom place. Final score 4-1. Well worth watching on

highlights tomorrow! It is full-time in Perth, St Johnstone against

Partick Thistle. It has reached its conclusion. A late win for the jags?

It sure is. It is the captain leading for example. One minute into

stoppage time, claiming the winner for Partick Thistle. They had taken

the lead after 70 minutes. Chris Doolin with a close range effort. It

was knocked into the back of the net by Doolin. All the drama came late

in the second half. Some fine goalkeeping by the St Johnstone

goalkeeper. It kept Partick Thistle out, but could do nothing in that

minute into stoppage time as the player down the left-hand side, cut

the ball out and it was blasted into the top corner of the net. Victory

for the side incident as an's 600 competitive fixture. It is all over

at Hamilton. A win for Dundee. Joy on the faces of the Dundee players.

The body language said it all. Dundee with the first win since

opening day in the league. The one who scored in the first one, you

made the difference today. The goal that proved just enough. A curb on a

very different match, with the first very different match, with the first

-- it could have been a very different match. Someone came close

three minutes later, great header from the corner. With two chances in

their opening four minutes, we expected much but very little came

in those 45 minutes. The difference in the second half was Leganes's

goal from the edge of the box. It was a trundling shot. Marcus Haber

and get out the way. We didn't get it out, it was enough to fall the

goalkeeper and the ball nestled in the back of the net. Saluting their

fans, much-needed for Dundee this afternoon. It is 1-0. Bye out of

there as a huddle on the pitch at Caledonian's Inverness against

Hearts, allover? This man securing the point when the visitors in what

was absolutely outstanding contest. Inverness took the initiative early

on. Doumbouya netted his third goal in three. He finished brilliantly.

Hearts got back in it after some poor defending, they equalised when

there was a cross sent in. The ball bounced into the corner despite the

goalkeeper's best efforts. Inverness went ahead again. Doran went in and

brilliantly converted. Hearts pulled straight forward, pushing for an

equaliser and got it. In truth, both sides could argue they deserved more

after a fantastic 90 minutes. 3-3 at full-time. Full-time at Ibrox, and

Rangers have won that 3-0. That victory good enough to take Rangers

to second spot in the table. Goals from Neil Wallace, Andy Halliday and

Joe Garner, giving them a 3-0 win over Kilmarnock. Let us had to

Easter Road in the championship. Ward at home to the bottom club this

afternoon. It is over once again. It finished 2-0. It really was a Martin

Boyle this afternoon -- Martin Boyle show, justifying him being on rather

than the top scorer this afternoon. Great composure to clip the ball

over the advancing opener. Boil or so with a hand in the second goal,

bouncing around the visitors Martyn yard. Simone should have been ahead

early on, but an effort was cleared off the line. It was pulled down

inside the box, the referee pointed to the spot. Probably just about the

only saving grace for St Mirren this afternoon. It finished here at

Easter Road, 2-0. Letters find out how second placed Dundee fad. They

are at home this afternoon. -- Dundee fad. It is enough to give

United a victory. The defender is playing his first game after a

suspension. A bit cruel on the Falkirk keeper, who made a string of

important saves, particularly denying Norwich striker Tony Andrew

on a couple of occasions. He also urged to parry the ball away when

they looked set to scoring the second half. United creating the

better chances, but Falkirk were always a danger the counterattack.

Three chances. In one, try to get through on the goalkeeper but it was

a comfortable save. In the end, that was vital for Dundee United. Five

games unbeaten since their last at Falkirk last month. Hibernian

looking good? I fancy them to go on and win it. Especially at home, they

are a good side. I'm a little bit surprised that Cummings is finding

himself on the bench. Dundee United, a fantastic result. Keeps them right

on the tale of Hibernian. In the Premiership, Rangers up to second. A

terrible week it's been for them? At the start of the season, I predicted

they would finish second. And I think a lot of people, you know,

predicted the same thing. It has been patchy, their form, but if they

can stay in second and maintain that, you are right talking about

the budgets. They have foreign away the second-biggest budget in the

league and they should be second -- far and away. Why do we get has been

for Partick Thistle. Two wins away from home. Yes, and he was linked

with the job at Shrewsbury, stayed at Partick Thistle. That has turned

around for him and I'm absolutely delighted, because he's a smashing

bloke. Football's about momentum. Anyway get momentum and confidence

is results. Ross County suffering a lack of momentum. Unfortunately, a

country bought their momentum was a few weeks ago. They are struggling

very badly. But you have to give credit to Motherwell, because they

had to show reaction after midweek, their 3-0 loss. And to come back

today and win 4-1. John is right, they're defending, we watched the

game coming in. Some of the defending was abysmal from Ross

County. There's a lot of work to be done. What you think has gone wrong?

That was one of their strengths. I don't know. The goals they are

losing are far too easy. The first one was from six yards out, header.

He was not the tallest player, certainly one that should be up in

the box. That's not good enough. There was another one, the writeback

runs and challenged 40 yards with the ball then hit a decent strike --

the right back, Tait. An awful lot of work to be done. The Dundee

United players were on the pitch in a huddle. Picture shows, I'm

absolutely delighted for Paul, because he's going through a hard

time. He needed a result. Saying before that, just keep a clean

sheet, or get a draw. Just take something. That gives him a bit of

hope. He works hard and I'm delighted they got that result. And

that is their second win, their first on the first overseas and.

They were desperate for a win. When you're in that run, you just need to

stop. You need any kind of result, a clean sheet, a 0-0. For much of the

match, declared it would be 1-0. Obviously they popped up with the

winner. Letters go straight without any further delay to today's

classified results round-up. Dumbuya Aberdeen Neil, Celtic one,

Hamilton versus Dundee 0- one, Inverness County versus Hearts 3-3,

Motherwell versus Ross County, 4-1. One match this evening, Raith Rovers

versus Queen of the South. In League 1, Alloa athletic versus Albion

Rovers nil - nil. Brecon city versus Livingston 0- three, East Fife

versus Eddie Ronan 's 3-1. And here in the Scottish League 2. In the

English Premier League: Two matches tomorrow, Everton versus

West Ham United and Southhampton versus Chelsea, Stoke play Swansea

on Monday. In the Sky Bet English championship:

Lets have a look at the league tables. The top of the Scottish

premiership shows Celtic at the top, nine points in hand. Rangers won 3-0

against Kilmarnock. Aberdeen dropped to fourth. At the bottom of the

table, Ross Co down to second bottom just ahead of Dundee, who enjoyed

that much needed victory at Hamilton this afternoon. In the championship,

it makes a pleasant reading for hits, three points clear at the top.

Dundee United going well in second. Great Rovers playing this afternoon.

Saint Mirren, at the bottom. Air United lost to Morton, sitting

nicely in six. Livingston are the new league leaders. They unseated

their man at the top. The two looks like this. Forfar athletic just one

their man at the top. The two looks point ahead. They do have a game in

hand, they dropped points today in the bottom club against Edinburgh

city. A big win for Manchester city today, and Arsenal. They share on 23

points. Liverpool could join if they win their match later on.

Sunderland, still without a win, three points adrift of Swansea city.

They have a game in hand. The other team in the relegation zone at the

moment is Hull city. Three points for Newcastle United, their lead at

the top. They played against Brighton and Hove. The bottom of the

table, Rotherham United 's. Wigan athletic move up to third bottom

after a good win against cars if today -- against Cardiff today. I

after a good win against cars if got the William Hill Scottish cup

results. Annan athletic 2- East Ayrshire one.

Gretna, 2008, at this all six. A good win for them this afternoon.

We've been on a bad run by Kant thought my players. A beautiful away

fixture. Hamilton didn't really threaten us. We deserve that win

today. We were the better team. You've made a few changes. You

looked like a different site today. We were different site, a site that

thoughts today. We are going to get a little bit nasty in terms the

pitch and how we play, but altogether our players' work ethic

has changed. Did he say he wouldn't shave until Dundee got a win?

LAUGHTER Sometimes you got to change your

style of it. He is asking purely for attitude, and that's the key thing.

If you are dealing the results will turn to you. He looked relieved, to

tell you the truth. They are going to be harder to beat, keep clean

sheets and resolute. They want James Pater back. He's a big character in

the dressing room. Who do you think Pater back. He's a big character in

will be happy with that Hearts' game? For Hearts to come back into

the match on three separate occasions, because Inverness when

two goals up. It was absolutely pulsate in March. It looks like

Celtic eased into the title, but we've got some scrappy play in bits.

I think the teams in the top six, I don't think there will be much

difference, come the end of the season, but the league is so tight

that anybody can beat anybody, apart from Celtic who are clear favourites

are better than everybody else. Do you fancy Rangers for second? I

think they will strengthen, come the window. You will see wacko oncoming

back -- you will see them coming back. Hearts and Aberdeen will push,

Evenson Johnstone. Highlights of all today's
