  2. Form 'not good enough'published at 22:36 British Summer Time

    FT: Rangers 3-1 Dundee United

    Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland "We're making hard work of it [securing European football and finishing fourth], there's no getting away from that fact, the last four results haven't been good enough.

    "But I think, I've said it numerous times, if you had offered us this opportunity on Saturday, way back at the beginning of the season, a one-off game to go and potentially, not just secure a fifth, but clinch fourth, would be a remarkable finish for us.

    "We'll need to recover quickly. We've came here tonight with only six subs on the bench, given the injuries that we have to some key players - one or two have limped off again tonight - so the medical team are going to be extremely busy over the next 48 hours to try and make sure these players are ready to give their all in a really difficult game against Aberdeen."

    FT: Motherwell 3-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock assistant manager Paul Sheerin tells BBC Scotland: "The manager made his point in the press before the game and in the lead up, so we know his stance on the situation. That's the only reason I'm stood here.

    "There's walks of life where you work your notice and nothing is really said about it. It's part and parcel of people's contracts. The manager has done everything he can to be in the dugout for the last couple of games, he's stressed that to the players - he'd love to be here.

    "He's got a brilliant relationship with the club and always has. If it all to go through and be finalised, he's leaving them in a far better place than what they were.

    "I understand their frustrations and there is an awkwardness about it. We can't get away from that. But I'm sure the manager will do his best for the club."

  5. 'I love each guy' - Wimmerpublished at 22:25 British Summer Time

    FT: Motherwell 3-0 Kilmarnock

    Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland's Jane Lewis: "I'm very happy, very proud of the guys. It was a great atmosphere.

    "It was not so easy, despite the red card. We needed a lot of patience, but the guys did really well. They were good in possession, it was only a matter of time until we scored.

    "It's not our biggest strength - scoring goals. But they believe in themselves. They kept possession, played quickly, passed quickly, and deserved to win.

    "This is what I want to see from my team, I don't like to be one in front and then defending the goal. Always keep going. Play for the second goal. If you get that, play for the third. This should be the attitude. It's always better to attack than defend.

    "It's 11 games. I have a perfect picture. I know everything. I can say it is a brilliant team. Each guy in this team is brilliant, I love each guy. But we have to take decisions. We want to improve, we have to do something."

    On Vaclav Cerny, Barry Ferguson added: "I know he's loved his time here at Rangers. It's a special place to play football, with special supporters and it was just a case of, I thought he was tiring a wee bit, bring him off, round the applause and he lapped it up.

    "What I do know is Vaz loves it here, he loves playing for the club, so we'll see what happens over the summer, but listen, he's had a brilliant season for us, he's been a big player for Rangers, he's certainly been a big player for me and again, he's another one that's been, he's been a joy to work with."

  7. 'I've loved every minute'published at 22:22 British Summer Time

    FT: Rangers 3-1 Dundee United

    Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson tells BBC Scotland: "It's easy to be in holiday mode but I demanded that wasn't the case, certainly, starting on Sunday. We got that monkey off our back with a win against Aberdeen and I just wanted it to continue tonight and I've got to give the players credit."

    On that potentially being his final home game as boss, he said: "It's been a brilliant three months for me, I've loved every single minute of it. I never thought it would ever happen, but I've come in and I've given it my all and so has my staff, and, to be fair to the players, so have they.

    "We've had a few disappointing results as I said, but again, I've demanded from them to come back from poor performances and poor results and they've always done that for me, but in terms of the supporters, a brilliant reception going round there.

    "The level of support from the staff inside Ibrox from the training centre and certainly from the fans inside Ibrox and also when I've played away from home, they've always got right behind me, so of course I appreciate that."

    As I obviously try and kill some time until we get these manager quotes through... humour me. Who is going to finish 11th?

    Thumbs up for Ross County (who finish at home to Motherwell), or thumbs down for Dundee (away to St Johnstone).

    Speaking of absent managers, there's no Tony Docherty speaking to BBC Scotland's Andy Burke at Dens Park. It's assistant Stuart Taylor.

    The Dundee boss certainly looked far from happy - to say the least - with that late penalty. Not only did it relegate St Johnstone, but it also put his own team back into play-off danger.

  10. Positive end at Ibrox as United wait on Euro hopespublished at 22:15 British Summer Time

    FT Rangers 3-1 Dundee United

    BBC Sport Scotland at Ibrox

    It's a positive to end Rangers' season in terms of home fixtures, and you can't argue with the outcome.

    They did enough and can move on awaiting clarity that is coming sooner rather than later as a new chapter threatens to dawn.

    Fans chanted Barry Ferguson's name in appreciation of his contribution. Not may expect he'll remain in charge, though.

    For United, a European place comes down to a home test against Aberdeen. They'll need to produce a big, big performance.

  11. St Johnstone 'already preparing' for promotion bid - Valakaripublished at 22:13 British Summer Time

    FT: Hearts 2-1 St Johnstone

    St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland: "It was not good enough for a long time because the table doesn't lie. It really, really hurts.

    "We are crying tonight and tomorrow but always looking forward. This season is history. We need to change things and get this beautiful club back to winning ways.

    "It's hard to play in relegation battles but it's even harder to play for promotion .That's what our aim is and that's what we start doing the day after tomorrow. It's a big, big job and will require a lot of effort every day.

    "We can't have off days. We already started preparing, but we wanted to fight to stay in the Premiership. No excuses, we were not good enough.

    "Numerous things need to change - some big, some small. It's more how you sustain this level and effort every match. Our weaknesses have been too big."

    Asked if he expects to stay in charge next season, Valakari replies: "Things need to change and we are starting this change. We can't anymore like it has been three or four years flirting with relegation. It needs to go back to being successful and being more stable.

    "I don't need to make any decisions. I want to stay. I want to rebuild this club and be successful with this club."

  16. Fear factor setting in for Dons?published at 22:02 British Summer Time

    FT: Aberdeen 1-5 Celtic

    Celtic cruised to this win with ease.

    Not bad for what was effectively a second string Hoops side.

    While it reinforces Celtic's superiority and squad depth, it will also have the Aberdeen fans perhaps fearing what will happen when the sides meet at Hampden in the Scottish Cup final later this month.

    The only positive for Aberdeen is that St Mirren's draw with Hibs means they are now assured of European football next season.

    Second-half goals from Luke McCowan, Johnny Kenny - his first for the club - and Adam Idah seal a comfortable victory for a much-changed Celtic side at Pittodrie.

    It's an ominous marker for Aberdeen before the Scottish Cup final later this month.
