  1. 'We've lost a game we should never lose' - Dochertypublished at 22:25 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Motherwell 2-1 Dundee

    Dundee manager Tony Docherty tells BBC Scotland: "I thought we should've got at least a point. The performance in the second half was good enough.

    "We had numerous chances. We were, by a long shot, the better team in the second half.

    "If we continue to put in that level of performance then we'll be okay.

    "We've lost a game that we should never lose, but maybe we'll pick up points in a game we shouldn't win.

    "Once again, we've shot ourselves in the foot, it's self-inflicted. We need to learn from that.

    "If I get that performance level in that second half going into any game, I'd be confident in my team winning. Bring on the challenge, we'll be ready for it."

  2. 'It was about calming ourselves down'published at 22:21 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Kilmarnock 2-4 Rangers

    Rangers captain James Tavernier tells Sky Sports:"We let ourselves down first 30 minutes, we didn't compete the way we should have.

    "It was about calming ourselves down at half-time. We just needed the character to keep going. Competing is the minimum, matching their intensity and being ruthless in the second half.

    "Clinton Nsiala [replaced in the first half] can't put his head down, as a whole team, we defended well.

    "The boys responded really well but that's the minimum as a Rangers player. Now it's about being consistent with such standards."

  3. Hearts 'didn't play great football' - Critchleypublished at 22:19 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Hearts 3-1 St Mirren

    Hearts boss Neil Critchley tells BBC Scotland: "It was a really tough game I thought. St Mirren aren't an easy opponent to play against, particularly when they go 1-0 up.

    "It's difficult to build momentum in the game. I didn't think we were at our best, but we're finding ways to win games of football. We got a bit of fortune for the first goal but the other two were good goals.

    "We defended well as a team, limited opportunities, and to score three goals against St Mirren isn't easy.

    "We weren't clean or efficient in our play. I wouldn't say sloppiness but not our usual selves on the ball. We didn't play great football in the second half but moments went for us and we showed real grit and resilience."

  4. 'We needed this win' - Valakaripublished at 22:14 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: St Johnstone 1-0 Ross County

    St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland:"It was a big win. this match was our most must-win game for our hopes for the rest of the season.

    "Yes, we needed the win but I'm most happy with how the players performed in this high pressure game.

    "We kept our heads, we were well balanced in transition and defended when we needed to. To win the game in this circumstances, I'm very happy."

  5. 'Win important for confidence' - Wimmerpublished at 22:11 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Motherwell 2-1 Dundee

    Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland: "I'm very proud of the guys, they did really well and I think it was a brilliant first half.

    "In the second half we saw a little bit of a lack of energy and dropped too deep.

    "But in the end, it was a fantastic win from everyone together, the fans pushed us too right until the last minute.

    "It's important for the confidence to get a result. I see their faces now in the locker room, they are all happy.

    "Now it's not easy, but it's more easy to keep going and keep working because this has increased the confidence.

    "We are together, nobody wins alone. We have to stay together and work together."

    Barry Ferguson, Neil McCann and Billy Dodds were absolutely loving it at the end there.

    They've come into an extremely difficult situation, so it's quite right they lap it up.

    Rangers looked stronger as the game went on, they didn't wither.

    Barry Ferguson gets off to a winning start as temporary Rangers boss, with the visitors hitting back from 2-0 down at Rugby Park.

    Kilmarnock ran Rangers ragged in the first half hour, with Joe Wright and Brad Lyons on target.

    Vaclav Cerny started the comeback with a goal before half-time and the visitors really came to life in the second half.

    Cyriel Dessers scored twice and Nedim Bajrami knocked in the fourth to leave the travelling support singing Ferguson's name.

  9. Motherwell end losing streak, more misery for Dundeepublished at 21:57 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT; Motherwell 2-1 Dundee

    Jane Lewis
    BBC Sport Scotland at Fir Park

    Massive cheers at full time from the home fans at Fir Park. They enjoyed that as their team played with energy and desire. And what a significant win it could be. Lots of football to be played of course, but it just puts a a bit more daylight between themselves and that relegation play-off spot. And Motherwell are now just two points off top six.

    Another poor result for Dundee. They were certainly better in the second half, they got their equaliser, but, that goal aside, they didn't carve out many chances.

    They remain in 11th spot, now just three points ahead of St Johnstone. Guess who they play on Saturday? Saints at Dens and that becomes a massive game.

  10. Hearts leapfrog St Mirren to go sixthpublished at 21:55 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Hearts 3-1 St Mirren

    Brian McLauchlin
    BBC Scotland at Tynecastle

    Hearts come from behind to reach the top six for the first time since the first weekend of the season.

    St Mirren boss Stephen Robinson will be bitterly disappointed at losing out after being in control but they remain in the hunt for a place in the top half.

    For Hearts, next up is a trip across the city on Sunday morning.

  11. 'St Johnstone putting up a fight'published at 21:51 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: St Johnstone 1-0 Ross County

    A crucial and deserved win for St Johnstone.

    They are certainly showing the fight required when you are at the bottom of the table.

    Saturday's date at second-bottom Dundee should be quite the occasion, with just three points separating the sides.

  12. FULL-TIME - Dundee United 1-3 Hibernianpublished at 21:50 Greenwich Mean Time

    What a result for Hibs as they extend their unbeaten run to 14 matches and move into fourth, one point behind Aberdeen.

    What drama at the end as Kieron Bowie surged through and fired into the top corner as the clock hit 90 minutes, before Junior Hoilett rounded things off on the counter-attack.

    That all came after Mykola Kuharevich had hauled them level after Ross Graham's early opener for United.

    Jim Goodwin will probably have a lot to say in a few minutes after his side had Sam Dalby's goal ruled out for handball at 1-1, which appeared far from conclusive.

    Then his side were denied a corner, Hibs get the goal kick instead and a minute later Bowie scored.

    Late drama in this fixture, not for the first time this season!

  16. FULL-TIME Hearts 3-1 St Mirrenpublished at 21:46 Greenwich Mean Time

    Hearts leapfrog St Mirren to move into the Scottish Premiership top six for the first time since August.

    St Mirren had gone ahead through the only real chance of the first half, when Mikael Mandron capitalised on a loose ball on the box to fire home.

    Hearts hit back in the second half when 17-year-old James Wilson was presented with a simple chance, thanks to Richard Taylor's miss-kicked clearance.

    Calem Nieuwenhof fired the hosts in front and fellow sub Kenneth Vargas finished proceedings when his goal was finally given, after a lengthy VAR check.
