  2. 'Real maturity about us now' - Dochertypublished at 22:36 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December

    FT: Dundee 4-1 Motherwell

    Dundee manager Tony Docherty tells BBC Scotland: "Once again a fabulous win at home. I think it's really important we string our home performances together and that's three on the bounce we've won.

    "I'm delighted with the first goal, wasn't too pleased with the equaliser but I had a chat with them at half-time, settled them down and made sure they played with that bravery and they did that in the second half.

    "Motherwell will always go right to the death, they've done that to us previously but that's the development of my team is that we're seeing that through and we're making sure we defend properly, making good decisions in the final third, keeping possession and I think there's a real maturity in my team now.

    "I'm pleased for the home fans tonight, they played a massive part in a big win that takes us into the top six again."

  3. 'Rangers had pace, tempo and aggression'published at 22:34 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December

    FT: Rangers 6-0 Kilmarnock

    Billy Dodds
    Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

    In terms of pace, tempo, aggression, Rangers had that tonight. They had the right personnel to break the Kilmarnock team down and they kept going at it. Then they got the confidence and started scoring really good goals.

    As good as Rangers were, Kilmarnock were as poor as I've seen them.

  4. 'Important win for confidence' - Clementpublished at 22:32 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December

    Rangers manager Philippe Clement says it is important for "the outside world" to see his side put in such an impressive attacking display.

    "It was not only a good win, you score six goals and it could have been more," he tells BBC Scotland.

    "But also that you didn't concede one because you defended really well as a team and whoever was on the pitch, you saw the same running lines and the same danger the team created.

    "So it's a massive one to show everybody who was maybe talking from outside that we had difficulty against low blocks, that it's about getting coordinated runs together and to get the right movement together and that takes time. That takes work together with videos, with training and with games.

    "So in that way, we did better stuff the last couple of weeks but we didn't finish it off. That's why it's maybe important for the outside worldto see these six goals but also for the confidence of the players because they feel good in this way of football."

  5. 'Players gave everything' - Thelinpublished at 22:29 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December

    FT: Aberdeen 0-1 Celtic

    Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin tells BBC Scotland: "Maybe a draw today would've been a fair result. We know Celtic are quality on the ball but also our team today was really disciplined and worked hard as a unit.

    "In the form of chances, it was quite a tight and equal game. The chances we had at the end, it was so close, and it's so nice to see even in the weather today the fans stick with us and push us.

    "We get these chances at the end because of the intensity and the spirit with the fans. It was a shame not to get the point but I'm proud of the players.

    "Sometimes you defend well and I don't think either of the teams today created so many big chances but they put theirs in the goal and they blocked our chance so I think a draw would've been a fair result.

    "It was a tight game and we tried. I feel more proud of the players, we wanted at least one point but the players gave everything, we can't do more. They tried and tried and tried.

    "I think the good thing for us today is that the intensity was back, we are playing more like the way we want to. The players coming in in the second half, they are growing and that's good for the squad also."

  7. 'League title nowhere near done' - Rodgerspublished at 22:23 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December

    Brendan RodgersImage source, SNS

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Scotland: "Fair play to the players, they were absolutely brilliant. That weather was as bad as I've had it, especially coming up here.

    "I thought both sets of players tried to play the game as best they could. I thought we deserved to win. In the first half we took control, we worked it quite well into the final third of the pitch but couldn't quite make it.

    "We needed to take a little bit more care in our passing in the second half. It's a huge credit to the players to keep the concentration, to defend that well - especially those few moments at the end - I'm so, so pleased.

    "I just felt that in time [a goal would come], we trust our process, we trust our game. Especially after winning 6-0 in the semi-final we knew Aberdeen wouldn't roll over.

    "They're a team that are really hard to beat, we knew it was going to be tough and we'd maybe have to take the game into the final half hour."

    On whether the league title is done or not: "There are 38 games so it's nowhere near done. I understand people will look at it that way but for us there's such a long way to go.

    "We're trying to get through the games, play well, but there's no thought of that [title] in the players' minds.

    "Our culture is very much based around winning and we know we have to work very hard in our training and on the pitch to do that."

    Sky Sports

    Celtic defender Cameron Carter- Vickers: "Going out there to warm up it was freezing so we expected that type of difficult game.

    "We knew we could compete in that type of game and we showed it.

    "It was a big block [from Ester Sokler's chance] but I think we showed as a team we could dig in, fight for the ball and put in challenges when we need to.

    "You want to put the ball in the net in one end and keep it out the other. We showed fight the whole game and that helped us in the end."

    Celtic defender Auston Trusty: "The team is confident, no matter how long the game goes on this team is confident we can get the win.

    "I think it shows the characteristics of the team, we back ourselves no matter how long it stays at 0-0."

    On his relationship at the back with Carter-Vickers, Trusty added: "We've known each other for a good bit now, it's getting better and better, the chemistry is getting better and there's more to come."

  10. Well's woeful clean sheet recordpublished at 22:15 Greenwich Mean Time 4 December

    FT: Dundee 4-1 Motherwell

    Since the start of last season, Motherwell have kept just four clean sheets in the league.

    That's across 52 games - a quite staggering statistic.

    Stuart Kettlewell's side have conceded nine goals in their last three games.

    FT: Rangers 6-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock attempted just one shot in their 6-0 defeat at Ibrox.

    That's the lowest total for any team in a single match in the Premiership this season.

    Not even out of the first week in December and the title race feels done already.

    A big 6-0 win for Rangers tonight against Kilmarnock but the they still remain 11 points behind Celtic, who are now seven clear of Aberdeen.

    And they have seen it out.

    Reo Hatate's second-half goal means Celtic go seven points clear at the summit with a game in hand.

    The night the title was decided? Feels a bit mad to be asking that in early December.

    FT: Rangers 6-0 Kilmarnock

    Jane Lewis
    BBC Sport Scotland at Ibrox

    Rangers quite simply blew Kilmarnock away in the second half.

    The fans inside Ibrox, those who're not leaving for home, are lapping this up. I wonder if it will silence those supporters who've been quite vocal and critical of the team's performances this season?

    The Rangers manager will certainly be content. He askes for more goals and his players delivered.

    It's a sore one for Killie, who at half time were still in this one.

    Aberdeen have worked so hard, they've worked so tirelessly to make it difficult for Celtic.

    And they got the chance... but you just need to take it.
