  2. Hibs 'deserved nothing'published at 17:58 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: St Mirren 0-3 Hibernian

    Hibernian manager Nick Montgomery tells BBC Scotland: "It's disappointing. I apologise to the fans for that first half. The lack of competing, the lack of fight. They outfought us.

    "We deserved what we got today - and that was nothing.

    "We accept responsibility as a collective. That was not good enough. We lacked fight and desire. I think second half we could have got a goal or two back but it wasn't to be.

    "That was nowhere near the performance I expect or the level of performance the players can deliver. There's been a lot of change, a busy week with a lot of new players coming in. Did I think it was going to click straight away? No."

  3. Robinson thrilled with 'fantastic away performance'published at 17:57 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: Hibernian 0-3 St Mirren

    St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson is delighted with another superb performance on the road after his side romped to a 3-0 victory over Hibernian at Easter Road.

    "Another fantastic away performance. That's two in a row we have scored three and haven't conceded," he told BBC Scotland.

    "I thought from start to finish we were excellent. When you consider we are missing Mark O'Hara, Keanu Baccus, Ryan Strain and Conor McMenamin, I think it speaks volumes.

    "It would be difficult to [find fault in today's performance] but I'm sure I will. I thought we controlled the game. We were very good. We switched the ball lots of times and could have scored more. It speaks volumes that Zach [Hemming] did not have a save to make.

    "We come here and expect to win, as a group of players and staff. It shows you how confident the players are at this moment and time and we'll go into Wednesday's game [against Dundee] with the same application."

  4. Celtic draw 'boosted' Rangers - Martindalepublished at 17:54 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: Rangers 3-0 Livingston

    Livingston manager David Martindale tells BBC Scotland: "I think there's a decision for VAR and Connor Goldson catches David Carson high [at the first Rangers goal]. He's not meant to catch our player, but we were really surprised their goal stood.

    "The game swings at that point, there's huge momentum from the crowd. Celtic dropping points at Aberdeen, I think that had a huge impact on the start of the game. We had to weather that storm and I think we did that very well. We kept our shape.

    "I don't go to [referee] Crawford Allan, I don't ask the questions. I can't change the outcome. Maybe it's where we are this season, more and more this season goes on, the more and more I'm convinced that VAR isn't helping the game.

    "At 0-0, there's still a great opportunity to get something from the game. The vast majority of the first half, you were fairly happy with the performance.

    "We can only affect one game at a time just now. We're all in this together and we'll be doing everything we can to keep Livingston in the Premiership."

  5. 'Not a bad result'published at 17:51 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: Motherwell 1-1 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock's Derek McInnes tells BBC Sportsound: "The game was untidy and scrappy. The conditions, the wind, the pitch didn't help but we made a terrific start.

    "We were good after that, we had a decent element of assurance. Everything was kept away from our goal. We spoke long and hard about Motherwell's transitions and Theo Bair - he's such an important player for them.

    "I'm so disappointed in the equalising goal. It's a good goal from their perspective. We're set up for a long throw, Joe Wright is in the box and the ball doesn't come in. We played our part in allowing [Blair] Spittal the time to play the pass. We have to stick to the detail.

    "Spittal and Bair had the most influence on the game. We didn't have any lads who showed that much influence. That said, a point on the road isn't a bad result."

  6. Kettlewell 'frustrated' not to take all three pointspublished at 17:48 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: Motherwell 1-1 Kilmarnock

    Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell tells BBC Scotland: "Both teams went at it. We started the game well, and the goal Kilmarnock get was completely against the run of play.

    "It was unusual for Kilmarnock. They stepped off us, let us into the game, but they carry such a physical threat.

    "Thereafter, we showed a good reaction. Kilmarnock only had one shot on our goal and I thought my team were better today so I'm frustrated we didn't take all three points.

    "That said, it's five games unbeaten. We need to evolve and be ruthless when those opportunities come along."

  9. Naimsith delighted with Hearts' 'character'published at 17:35 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: Dundee 2-3 Hearts

    Hearts manager Steven Naismith is delighted with his side's mentality after they came back to beat Dundee.

    "It was a good game of football," he told BBC Scotland.

    "From my point of view we were always in the game. We started quite well and had a lot of control. But I said at half-time the final third decision making needed to improve to get a better quality of chance.

    "The goals we concede are poor from our point of view but overall the performance was alright in the first half. Second half was an entertaining game and we showed more urgency and put more pressure on and got back in the game.

    "But the biggest thing for me is our character. It's something which has been really questioned over the years and we're showing we can use it - more than we hope to - to get back into games and ultimately win them.

    "Our analyst says it's the first time we've won four consecutive [top-flight] away games since 2011. So it's another stat we've managed to change.

    "But the game could have gone either way."

  10. Fans now have 'confidence' in players - Clementpublished at 17:32 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: Rangers 3-0 Livingston

    Rangers manager Philippe Clement tells BBC Scotland: "We see more and more the football we want to see. That's important. It's been a really pleasing afternoon.

    "It's a big difference from the beginning. The first day I stepped in here, you felt impatience from the fans. Everybody was nervous. Now everybody has confidence in the players, the players feel that too.

    "The team know now that if they repeat their actions, goals will come.

    "I'm not busy with Celtic or other teams. I'm only busy with winning games. I'll be busy with ranking teams at the end of the season. We still have a lot of work to do.

    "I see a team growing. I see more and more the team I want to see. We're not at our maximum, for sure [we're not]. I want all my players on their toes all the time and not thinking about other teams.

    "I want momentum all season. Because momentum - the word moment is there - it's a short period. I want this level all season, every game. I don't want momentum, I want consistency."

  16. 'Probably a fair result'published at 17:11 Greenwich Mean Time 3 February

    FT: Motherwell 1-1 Kilmarnock

    Two terrific goals and although the second half was easier on the eye, at times it was a scrappy affair. A share of the points was probably a fair result in the end, although the home side probably just edged it in terms of clear cut chances.

    A word on Theo Bair, he scored the goal for Motherwell, keeping calm while one on one with the Killie goalie. He’s been much maligned since joining the Fir Park club, but that was his seventh goal of the season and he was very lively.

    He was creative as well as trying to get on the end of others trying to set him up. A win would have been more than welcomed by the home side as they play Ross County midweek, but a point keeps their unbeaten run intact. That’s now five in a row unbeaten.

    Killie’s point keeps them in fourth spot, and while they turned to their bench to try and get the winner in this one it didn’t materialise. But it’s a strong looking squad they have after the winter signings and that will only make them more dangerous.
