A good day for Hibs, Aberdeen, Kilmarnock and Dundee...

You can catch highlights of today's games on Sportscene, BBC Scotland at 19:15.
FT: Rangers 0-2 Hibernian
Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "It's huge. 2018 was the last time a Hibs team came here and won. The way we started the game was huge, the composure we showed and getting the goal.
"You put a game plan in place knowing Rangers are going to have a lot of the ball, so you have to be really disciplined without the ball. Every time there was a slight mistake, a teammate was there to bail them out. A massive collective performance - the subs came on and impacted the game.
"It's an incredible run and the players deserve all the credit for it. The big thing was trusting what we were doing. Not being too high when it's good and not being too low when it wasn't.
"I never stopped believing and it's been a huge collective effort from everyone involved.
"If we keep winning games, nobody can catch us and that's the mindset moving forwards."

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "Sometimes Scottish football just needs you to be efficient. Don't make mistakes. On the back of last week we needed to be that type of team.
"I thought we were the better team when they had 11 men, and I thought we were professional and efficient when they went down to 10 men.
"There was a lot of drama but we stayed professional and stayed calm and dealt with the game. The second goal allowed us to breathe a bit easier. And they only registered their first shot on target in the dying embers of the game.
"It's great to get a clean sheet and a few boys back who have been out for a long time. I thought it looked a bit more like us. Just be efficient, get on with the job and get the job done."
McInnes thought Kofi Balmer's red card challenge "didn't look good", pointing out he caught Fraser Murray around the knee.
He also believes Dominic Thompson's sending off should have stood, and was "more of a red card" than Balmer's.

It's hard to know where to start with Rangers. There's only so many times Barry Ferguson can raise his voice. This team is so inconsistent. When you expect highs you get lows and when you expect lows you get highs.

The spotlight is on Jack Butland again after another error from the Rangers goalkeeper.
He's had a few howlers this season but there were a number of below par performances from the Ibrox side today.
Would he be one of the changes Ferguson is considering?

FT: Rangers 0-2 Hibernian
Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson tells BBC Scotland: "Angry, really angry in fact - that's the most simple way I can put it. There's no way I'm accepting that.
"I thought we started on the front foot before Hibs got the first goal. Another mistake from us. I said at half-time I need to see more, I want to see more aggression in our play and I never saw it. That's the thing I'm raging with.
"I'm not going to kid anybody on. Hibs deserved it. They tackled harder, ran harder and wanted it more. It's sore for me to say that.
"I'll take the responsibility. I pick the team and I need to go away with the players and have a long hard look in the mirror.
"This [season] is in real danger of just petering out. It's about pride. I know we're in the Europa League, but those are easy games to get up for.
"I will make changes, I'm not scared to make changes. I need a team that's willing to put their bodies on the line."

Ross County manager Don Cowie tells BBC Scotland: "It was a tight game. We got done by a moment of real quality, a fantastic goal from Shayden Morris.
"We know the strength he possesses, pace. It was disappointing to concede a goal in that manner, but you recognise it's a very good goal.
"I dint't think there was too much in the game, lots of endeavour, lots of effort from both teams. Challenging conditions with the wind. It was very similar to the Dundee United game, I'm just frustrated we didn't create any real opportunities to hurt Aberdeen.
"We were in enough good areas but lacked that bit of quality."

Dundee manager Tony Docherty tells BBC Sportsound: "I'm absolutely delighted for the boys, I think they got the rewards for the effort they put in.
"The clean sheet's the most important thing. The two centre-backs in particular, I thought they were magnificent. They know if they can defend, we've got players in the team that will score and that's a great feeling.
"It just now gives us that platform. I'm not bothered about looking at the league table. The consistency of performance will get us out (of trouble)."

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin tells BBC Scotland: "We were prepared for a difficult game. There was a lot of second balls. They are good at that, but we were really stable as a team. Everybody took responsibility. We kept them out for most of the game.
"It was difficult for us to create chances but I've looked at Shayden's goal and it's amazing.
"If you look at his journey this year, the assists and goals he gets, how he defends... It's good to see players take steps and grow. It's a lot of work from his side, he has a strong mentality, he pushes himself."

Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland: "The game was killed after the red card, what can I say? We talked at half time about keeping it to 1-0. Then we might get the opportunity on the counter attack. But we defended a set piece badly.
"If this is a red card, then the one last week [Pape Gueye's challenge] in Aberdeen is a double red card. It's the same as last week, if there is a red card it's a different game.
"I can't understand the decision. Kofi [Balmer] wants to pass the ball, this is one movement, one swing. He has to clear the ball, so he has to swing.
"There's no movement, he's standing. For me, it's not a red card.
"I see the the guys in training and we need to bring that into the match. We don't have to always speak about top six, we also have an eye in the other direction, to be confident to get results now.
"It's difficult with 10 men so I can't blame the guys."

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Sportsound: "We controlled the game but our quality was poor. We have three or four really good gilt-edged chances that we miss.
"There's a lot of good in it but the end product was poor all over the pitch. If your end product's poor and you make individual errors, which we did, we get punished for, then you lose football matches.
"The disappointment is the consistency, we haven't followed a great result up anytime this season. I can't ever fault the effort, I can't ever fault the desire of the players, we just lacked quality in that final third."

"We knew it would be tough and it was in spells but we rode that to get what we deserved, I feel," a delighted Martin Boyle tells BBC Scotland.
Boyle, who scored Hibs' second goal at Ibrox, adds: "We want to tie down that third spot and we're just taking it game by game."
Hibs are now unbeaten in 16 league games, winning 11.
"Incredible," says Boyle. "We believe in the manager and the squad and the fans are fully behind us. The whole club is buzzing."

Shayden Morris scored on only his seventh league start of the season
Shayden Morris' "amazing" strike gave Aberdeen a narrow Scottish Premiership victory over Ross County, continuing their recent renaissance in form.
The result keeps Jimmy Thelin's fourth-placed side on the coattails of third-placed Hibernian and leaves County looking over their shoulder at the wrong end of the table, with their scant top-six hopes finally extinguished.
Morris scored the winner in the 33rd minute and, in doing so, put his name on the list for goal of the season contenders.
Picking the ball up on the halfway line, he burst down the right before unleashing an unstoppable angled shot which crashed off the underside of the crossbar on its way into the net.
"It was difficult for us to create chances but I've looked at Shayden's goal and it's amazing," Thelin said. "We're happy, they are three important points for us.
"If you look at his journey this year, the assists and goals he gets, how he defends... it's good to see players take steps and grow.
"It's a lot of work from his side, he has a strong mentality, he pushes himself."
The away side had prevailed in the two previous meetings of these sides and that, coupled with the high stakes in Dingwall, meant this latest edition of the fixture very much fell into the unpredictable category.
County were the first to threaten with Jordan White heading weakly at Ross Doohan from a few yards out.
At the other end, Kevin Nisbet forced a good save from Jordan Amissah, who did well to get a hand to his angled effort.
Amissah was called into action again when Topi Keskinen played in Morris, but the County goalkeeper produced another fine stop to block.
The home side made an impressive start to the second half, with Doohan doing well to tip a low Connor Randall shot round a post.
But Amissah was called into action with a good reaction save as Pape Gueye flicked on Jeppe Okkels' cross.
Aberdeen ended up hanging on, and County almost found a last-gasp equaliser when Ronan Hale had one shot well saved before firing a rasping rebound just wide.
There is never a good time to go on a poor run, but the harsh reality is that County have now won just one of their last five league games, losing four.
A return of just one point from 15 has very much stalled County's revival.
Don Cowie will know that if that form continues, there is every chance they will find themselves embroiled in the battle at the bottom again.
County have relied on play-offs to preserve their top-flight status in the each of the last two seasons and, while they may be accustomed to what is required, they will be desperate to avoid having to go through it again.
Scoring has been a problem of late, and the pre-match news that Noah Chilvers will miss the rest of the season after injuring his ACL in training is a huge blow.
This season will go down as one of the more bizarre in Aberdeen's recent history.
After a remarkable winning start, there was an arguably even more remarkable winless run, which has been followed by a more positive return to form.
In fact, they will be happy to forget what happened in the middle if this is a campaign bookended by a couple of very favourable sequences.
It's all about the destination, rather than the journey, for Aberdeen fans.
Securing their top-six status last weekend was one objective ticked off. Now, it's all about chasing down a European place, and trying to secure third spot.
On the evidence of this, Jimmy Thelin's side appear to be very well-placed to mount a concerted challenge.
His squad has several key players missing, but they look more assured at the back and have a cutting edge up front – a combination Thelin will be hoping can get them over the line.
Ross County boss Don Cowie: "It was a tight game. We got done by a moment of real quality, a fantastic goal from Shayden Morris.
"I didn't think there was too much in the game, lots of endeavour, lots of effort from both teams. Challenging conditions with the wind. I'm just frustrated we didn't create any real opportunities to hurt Aberdeen."
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin: "We were prepared for a difficult game. there was a lot of second balls. They are good at that, but we were really stable as a team today. Everybody took responsibility. We kept them out for most of the game.
"We don't think about [other games]. We have to keep winning our games, and not think about other teams."

After their 2-1 win in January, Ross County could enjoy successive league wins over Aberdeen for the first time since October 2013 (3 in a row).
Aberdeen have lost just once in their last 11 league visits to Ross County (W7 D3), and are unbeaten in their last six (W3 D3) since going down 4-1 in January 2021.
Ross County are the lowest scorers in the 2024-24 Scottish Premiership with just 31 goals. The Staggies have found the net just once in their last four league games combined, and have failed to score in a league-high 13 matches this campaign.
Aberdeen have won just one of their last 12 away league games (D4 L7), a 2-1 victory at Dundee in February, while they have failed to score in six of their last eight league matches on the road.
Kevin Nisbet has been directly involved in eight of Aberdeen’s last 11 league goals (6 goals, 2 assists). Nisbet has scored 2+ goals in two of his last three Scottish Premiership appearances, having only done so in two of his previous 92 before this.
