FT: Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2-1 Kilmarnock
That’s all from us tonight, but don’t worry, there’s a momentous weekend of Scottish football still to come and the Championship, League 1 and League 2 fixtures aren’t all.
Join us here on Saturday for the first Scottish Cup semi-final. It’s nothing much, just an Edinburgh derby at Hampden one week on from Hearts’ victory that condemned their Edinburgh rivals Hibernian to the Scottish Premiership bottom six.
Sunday? Just as big. Scottish Cup Old Firm semi-final. Rangers are looking to get one back over on Celtic on the back of their European exploits as Ange Postecoglou’s side look to keep their stellar domestic form ticking over.
We’ll see you then!
'Still plenty of fight in us' - McInnespublished at 21:58 British Summer Time 15 April 2022
FT: Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2-1 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: “I thought there wasn't a lot happening for either team in the first half but I thought we started the second half well.
“In that period afterwards I thought Billy Dodds' changes helped and we allowed ourselves to lose a bit of concentration.
“I thought we were good value for our lead but their change added freshness to it. We lost poor goals.
“Still plenty of fight in us and we’re looking forward to the game. It’s a sore one tonight be we remain positive."

'We had to show bottle' - Doddspublished at 21:51 British Summer Time 15 April 2022
FT: Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2-1 Kilmarnock
Inverness Caledonian Thistle managers Billy Dodds tells BBC Scotland: “We’ve shown all season we’re competitive. We had to show bottle tonight after going a goal down and target achieved, we’re in the play-offs.
"Even on a bad run, we didn't let out heads go down. No one’s beaten us by more than one goal this season.
"[The players] showed great character and all those keywords you use! Terrific.
"It's good to beat the league leaders but it's more important we're in the play-offs."

FULL-TIME Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 21:35 British Summer Time 15 April 2022
A potentially monumental result in the Scottish Championship.
Inverness roared back from 1-0 down through Billy Mckay and Logan Chalmers, with Killie's Ash Taylor opening the story.
Caley Thistle's play-off spot is confirmed as Killie's grip on the title is perhaps a touch looser now.
Your move Arbroath...
