FULL-TIME Aberdeen 4-1 Partick Thistlepublished at 21:41 British Summer Time 19 October 2022
The Dons power into the last four of the League Cup.
Jim Goodwin's side were clinical in the first half, with goals from Luis Lopes and Hayden Coulson either side of a Kevin Holt own goal putting the hosts 3-0 up at the break.
Thistle did hit back through Darren Brownlie, but teenager Ryan Duncan wrapped things up for the Dons with less than ten minutes to go.

Rangers 1-0 Dundee
James Tavernier finds himself in behind the Dundee defence and fizzes in a cross for Steven Davis to attack. Once again, it's the toe of a visiting player that gets to the ball first.

Ryan Duncan
Game over.
It's a beauty from 18-year-old Ryan Duncan, who picks up possession on the right-hand side, drops a shoulder and drills his shot into the far corner beyond Jamie Sneddon.

BBC Sport Scotland at PittodrieThe goal from Thistle has certainly lifted the spirits of the players and travelling fans inside Pittodrie.
There now appears to be a belief this game may not be all but lost and a Steven Lawless effort from just outside the box flies a few yards wide of Kelle Roos' post.
They couldn’t come back from three down… could they?

BBC Sport Scotland at IbroxAfter the early concession, it seemed inevitable that Rangers would ease to a very comfortable evening.
They have been well on top there's no doubt but this is cup football and Dundee will eventually have a go if they're still in with a shout.
Joe Grayson's shot just off target was a timely reminder.

Ridvan Yilaz races on to a pass from Scott Wright to hammer in an angled shot. It may be heading for the side-netting but Adam Legzdins is taking no chances as he beats the ball away.

Joe Grayson catches his shot from 30 yards so sweetly and Rangers goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin is relieved to see it whizz just wide.
A warning for the hosts.

Hammell frustrated by Motherwell defendingpublished at 21:13 British Summer Time 19 October 2022
FT: Motherwell 0-4 Celtic
Motherwell boss Steven Hammell told BBC Scotland: "It's a tough one. I felt we came up against a good team in a good moment just now.
"Losing the goal before half-time, you don't need to be an expert to know it changes things.
"Unfortunately again we've conceded a couple of really poor goals. You talk about systems and formations and styles, but individually the goals we lose are very avoidable.
"We've got no time to feel sorry for ourselves. We need to reflect, learn and move on quickly.
"Our home form needs to pick up and that puts even more emphasis on how important the game is on Saturday [against Aberdeen]."

Aberdeen 3-1 Partick Thistle
Aberdeen substitute Christian Ramirez is denied a magnificent goal by Jamie Sneddon.
The striker lets fly from 25 yards and his shot looks destined for the back of the net, but Sneddon is at full stretch to turn it round the post.
Postecoglou 'really pleased' with Celticpublished at 21:09 British Summer Time 19 October 2022
FT: Motherwell 0-4 Celtic
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou told BBC Scotland: "I thought we were good tonight. In cup games away from home the opposition can sense they could upset us by taking the game to us.
"I thought the way Motherwell set up they really tried to be aggressive in terms of pressing us when we tried to play out from the back.
"I just thought we handled it really well and once we played through their press we created good opportunities and could have finished the game off a bit earlier. But overall, really pleased."

Rangers 1-0 Dundee
In case you're wondering, Rangers' oldest goalscorer is David Weir at 38 years and 183 days, against Kilmarnock in November 2008.
Steven Davis is 37 years and 292 days. He'll maybe need another contract extension to take the record...
