  4. Record-breaking season for Rangerspublished at 14:33 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    FT: Rangers 4-0 Aberdeen

    As Rangers wait on the Ibrox pitch ready to lift their first major trophy in a decade, lets take a look at their achievements.

    Unbeaten in the league, Rangers end the season on 102 points, the first time the club has broken the 100 barrier.

    Steven Gerrard's side complete a 100% record at home, winning all 19 games at Ibrox.

    They equal Celtic's clean-sheet record of 26 for a 38-game season, set way back in 1913-14.

    And that clean sheet sets a new record for goals conceded, with a mere 13 given away.

  5. FULL-TIME St Johnstone 0-0 Livingstonpublished at 14:24 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    A dreadful game.

    St Johnstone finish fifth and will be playing European football next season. A place in the new Conference League awaits for Callum Davidson's side. A win in next weekend's Scottish Cup final, however, would elevate them into a Europa League play-off.

    Livingston finish the season in sixth, having won just one of their last 12 league games.

  6. FULL-TIME Rangers 4-0 Aberdeenpublished at 14:23 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    It's all over at Ibrox. Records tumble for Steven Gerrard's 'invincibles'.

  7. FULL-TIME Hibernian 0-0 Celticpublished at 14:22 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    Hibs get a decent warm-up for the Scottish Cup final as they remain unbeaten at home to Celtic since returning to the top flight in 2017.

    The home defence were worked hard in the first half and Darren McGregor was a colossus throughout, putting in a series of great blocks and tackles.

    A familiar tale for Celtic this season as they huffed and puffed but couldn't find a way past goalkeeper Ofir Marciano, who keeps a clean sheet on his last game for Hibs.

    A chance for Hibs to snatch it at the death as Christian Doidge nods down for Jackson Irvine to have a lash at goal but the volley from 12 yards flies over as Kris Ajer puts the Australian under pressure.

    Jermain Defoe

    Shortly after Allan McGregor makes a save to preserve Rangers' clean-sheet, Aberdeen are sloppy at the back again and Greg Stewart sets up Jermain Defoe, who holds off a couple of challenges to stroke home another goal for the home side.

    Into the final five minutes at Easter Road and it's all gone rather quiet, with both sides making a heap of substitutions.

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Scott Brown winds up for a strike at goal 30 yards out. He couldn't could he? No. The low shot screams well wide.

  12. CLOSE!published at 14:04 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 Livingston

    Finally, a chance!

    St Johnstone defender Shaun Rooney gets caught on the ball in his own box by Jaze Kabia, who fires a shot powerfully at Zdenek Zlamal. The rebound falls to him again, but a strong challenge stops a second effort. Kabia wants a penalty but referee Craig Napier isn't interested.

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Hibs now have a recognised striker on the park, with Christian Doidge on, but Celtic continue to dominate possession.

    The home defence is getting a good work out before next weekend's Scottish Cup final.

    Rangers 3-0 Aberdeen

    Rangers substitute Greg Stewart goes close to scoring against his former side with a low drive fizzing just wide.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 13:53 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    Rangers 3-0 Aberdeen

    How have Rangers still got a clean sheet?

    Ryan Hedges ghosts through a static home defence, the midfielder's low drive is deflected off goalkeeper Allan McGregor's legs and, when Jonny Hayes squares it to Fraser Hornby, the striker scoops over the crossbar.

  16. Middleton to inject some life?published at 13:50 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 Livingston

    This has been a really poor game of football.

    Anyway, Glenn Middleton is on for Guy Melamed. He's impressed in recent weeks for St Johnstone. Could he be the player to do something remotely exciting? We'll see.

    Kemar Roofe

    Just when Aberdeen were threatening to pull a goal back, Rangers extend their lead in clinical side.

    Home goalkeeper Allan McGregor saved at one end with his legs, but Steven Gerrard's side race to the other end as Ianis Hagi's interception finds Kemar Roofe and the striker side-foots home his second goal of the game.

    Rangers 2-0 Aberdeen

    What a miss! Rangers' hopes of equalling the top-flight clean-sheet record should have gone by now as Aberdeen are inches away from pulling a goal back.

    Tommie Hoban was weak with a headed chance, Connor McLennan had a penalty claim waved away, but the real sinner was Lewis Ferguson.

    Fraser Hornby lays the ball on a plate for Lewis Ferguson, but the midfielder blasts against the underside of the crossbar with the goal gaping.

    Hibernian 0-0 Celtic

    Celtic's Mohamed Elyounoussi slips by two Hibernian players and hammers a shot at goal, with Ofir Marciano right behind it. Ryan Christie is first to the rebound but can't get a clean shot on it.

  20. Hornby blows big chance for Donspublished at 13:41 British Summer Time 15 May 2021

    Rangers 2-0 Aberdeen

    How did he miss that?

    Fraser Hornby is given an immediate opportunity to make his mark as a second-half substitute.

    Ryan Hedges finds the Scotland Under-21 striker with a fine cross close to the back post, but Hornby fails to get a decent touch while ghosting in unmarked eight yards out and it skims wide.

    That should have ended Rangers' hopes of equalling Celtic's 107-year clean sheet record for a top-flight season.
