  2. Aberdeen should have had penalty - McInnespublished at 20:39 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    FT: Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "A fantastic strike from Turnbull and Joe's maybe had one other save.

    "I still felt we had the best couple of chances in the game with Kamberi hitting the post and running through on goal.

    "You're looking for a bit of fortune at times and also a bit of quality. The fortune should come with the penalty kick [for a handball by Stephen Welsh] that we never got that should be a penalty."

  3. 'We'll take the positives from it' - Goodwinpublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    FT: St Mirren 1-1 Hamilton

    St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Sportsound: "We asked the players before the game to make sure we were in the top half come the end of the game. The point was enough. Hopefully we can build on that.

    "We could've been a goal in front at half-time. I think we were the better team in the first half. Over the whole 90 minutes a draw was probably fair.

    "We never underestimated Hamilton. We'll take the positives from it. We're very low on numbers with the injuries we have, it's hurting us. But credit to the boys that were out there."

    Derek McInnes has defended his decision to send striker Bruce Anderson back out on loan to Hamilton, where he has scored twice in the time Aberdeen have failed to find the net.

    I think he's made the right decision. You've got a responsibility to the player, his parents, and the club's development programme to get his progress right.

  5. How it stands...published at 20:30 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    Celtic have narrowed the gap to Rangers to 15 points, but now have no games in hand.

    Aberdeen are now four points behind Hibernian in third, having played a game more.

    Hamilton are a point further off the bottom, St Mirren sneak into the top six.

    A good win for QoS in the Championship, as Inverness' game of catch-up starts slowly.

  7. 'Really intelligent' Turnbull delights Kennedypublished at 20:21 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    FT: Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen

    Celtic assistant manager John Kennedy tells BBC Scotland: "Second half we had to grind out, first half we were really comfortable.

    "When it's 1-0, teams are always going to throw everything at it. We stood really strong. We defend the box really well."

    "A really well worked goal. David Turnbull's been terrific for us. He came in, spent a bit of time in terms of getting up to the speed of the training and how we worked.

    "Really intelligent player, amazing technical ability. Really good goal for him but also for the team as well."

    It hasn't been good this season. Derek is a manager who usually gets results, but the Midas touch has deserted him a little bit. What you've got to remember is Aberdeen are fourth, and in with a chance of finishing third. For me, you give him to the end of the season and see how it works out. I think he's capable of turning things round.

    I can understand the frustration that the Aberdeen fans have. Tonight was better. But Celtic are a team that let you create chances. They disrupted Celtic in the second-half. But the disappointing thing was the first 30 minutes when they didn't really take part.

    FT: St Mirren 1-1 Hamilton

    Hamilton head coach Brian Rice tells BBC Sportsound post-match: "We deserved our equaliser. When we went a goal down we rolled the sleeves up a little bit more and we got our just reward.

    "We got a little bit of a break for the goal, but it was thoroughly deserved.

    "The biggest game is the next one. We won't change too much going forward."

    Celtic ground out the result, which is a positive. In the past, they weren't able to hold on to leads. But still, when I look back, nine points dropped in January. That had a huge impact on the championship.

    FT: Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen

    No club in all of Europe's top-flight leagues are on a worse scoring run than Aberdeen.

    Despite that, it was probably their best performance of the year tonight.

  14. FULL-TIME - Celtic 1-0 Aberdeenpublished at 19:51 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    Five straight wins for Celtic, thanks to David Turnbull's terrific strike in the first half. They're now 15 points behind Rangers.

    One win in 10 matches for Aberdeen, and they register a sixth game in a row without scoring for the first time ever.

    Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen

    Joe Lewis is up to take an Aberdeen free-kick, but it fails to beat the first man, it comes back in and a flick on falls towards Lewis Ferguson.

    The Aberdeen midfielder is beaten to it by Scott Bain, though. That'll be that.

    Celtic 1-0 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes wails in frustration as his side pass up a few chances.

    Nobody can get on the end of Connor McLennan's cross from the right, then another few deliveries are cleared.

    Niall McGinn then scoops over the bar.

  18. FULL-TIME St Mirren 1-1 Hamiltonpublished at 19:48 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2021

    The hosts could have been out of sight at the break and deservedly took the lead early in the second half through a low driven strike from Ilkay Durmus.

    But the away side responded well and were well worth their point as Bruce Anderson grabbed his second goal in as many games for Hamilton.

    St Mirren jump back into the top six as Accies remain 11th.

    Joe Lewis denies Patryk Klimala one-on-one!

    Up the other end, Connor McLennan's dangerous ball is whipped across, which Kristoffer Ajer has to flick to safety.

    Scott Brown then does the same from the resulting corner. Last chance saloon for Aberdeen.

    Difficult to know what to make of this second period at Celtic Park. Neither goalkeeper has had much to do at all.
