00:00That's laid off for Hitate, who scores a wonderful goal, he swerved that into the top right corner, nothing O'Hara could do about that, and Celtic have the early goal Kili dreaded.
00:20Engels slips it to Johnston, Midas there, and it's the easiest goal he'll score all season, and that's the 31st that he has scored this season, well I think it's Mayo, yeah, at the back fours, who couldn't prevent it getting through to Celtic's top scorer, and Celtic have two goals in less than two minutes,
00:48and a 2-0 lead, Carter Vickers winds one up, and my goodness, what a goal, oh a broad smile, on the face of the US international, little wonder, what about that from the centre back, it's incredible.
01:08Kili simply have not been able to live with them, not many can when they're in this kind of mood, that's brilliant, Forrest to Johnston, Hitate, he's got an eternity to turn it home, which he does,
01:24and we're barely into the second quarter of the match, and it's 4-0 to the champions, who are turning on the style in the Glasgow sunshine, and Celtic are well out of sight.
01:36Big switch from Donnelly, and he's found Armstrong, then it comes, and in it goes, well it's surely a cross, but Danny Armstrong has found the far corner, for what is his first goal, not just of this season, but in over a year, which seems remarkable.
02:02Oh, Carter Vickers, Hattate, finds Rolston, onto his right, and the fifth arrives, in the final minute of stoppage time, when Rolston, who scored late against Kilmarnock in the opening weekend of the Premiership season,
02:21has repeated the trick here, and Celtic now just two points away from the title.
02:28It's been a decent start from United, not too many clear-cut chances, so Johnston just trying to play their way into this, it's a slack pass, that's going to go all the way behind for a corner.
02:45As Fischer watches on, not too impressed, but there's defenders there.
02:56Ferry curls to the back post, it bounces, and Alegbelega's put it in!
03:01United hit the front, through an unlikely source in Emmanuel Alegbelega.
03:07Well, St Johnston were so resolute last week, but that's far, far too easy for the hosts.
03:18A dreadful corner to give away, pretty statuesque defending.
03:23Kirk, looking up with Stephen Duke-McKenna, trying to find Sidibe.
03:33Does well, he pulls it back to Duke-McKenna!
03:36Not far away at all.
03:39The winger has been St Johnston's best player so far this afternoon, and he almost got himself on the score sheet.
03:46Kempioca, up against Ross Doherty.
03:53He comes inside, trying to make room for the shot, instead he lays it off to Kerry, out to McPake.
04:01He's away from Strain, gets the shot away!
04:04It's into the side netting, I think there was a touch on the way through, Jack Walton might have got a hand to that.
04:10Well, McPake has been lively since coming on, big shoes to fill in Stephen Duke-McKenna's place, but he's done well.
04:22That's a lovely turn from Payton to find Stephenson, Sibyl's free.
04:26Oh, he's picked out Louis Moult, it must be!
04:28Oh, brilliant save, Fisher!
04:31That was a huge opportunity for Louis Moult, but fantastic from Fisher to keep St Johnston in this.
04:37That was a huge opportunity for him to take the time and leave the stadium.
04:40Mackenzie Kirk races onto it, it's brilliant hold-up play, Sidipe into Kempioca, last chance!
04:49Oh, he drags it wide.
04:52Well, it never looked like trickling into that bottom corner.
04:58Kempioca opened up the body, but never on target, and St Johnston just can't find a route to goal.
05:07It's a poor touch from Bamart, and now Penryse, a cross goal.
05:18It comes here for Khartoum.
05:21Couldn't keep the shot down.
05:23Goes down as the first real chance of the game.
05:27It's loose play from Bamart.
05:30A loud heart's in.
05:32Khartoum, you've seen him finishing.
05:34More difficult chances than that.
05:39Just four of their away games, all-season hearts.
05:42If they could snatch a winner here, they know that would give them the top six finish they desire.
05:49In it comes, a good ball, and off the line.
05:53There's Lenny Miller keeping that one out, and then Grant flashes it over the bar.
05:58Well, that's about as close as we've come to a goal all afternoon.
06:04Shanklin, who's stabbed at goalwards.
06:08Denied by Miller on the line.
06:10Balcom was certainly beaten.
06:12And Grant just couldn't keep it down.
06:15There hasn't been any real urgency to go and get the winner.
06:19But they might get it here, Harts, because Shanklin is in behind it.
06:23Shanklin!
06:23Oh, it's just wide!
06:25That looked like the moment for the Harts skipper.
06:29So close to the goal that would have earned his side a place in the top six.
06:36It might yet come.
06:37But that would have clinched it.
06:40It just clipped there.
06:42It might just have put him off.
06:46Before we come Motherwell.
06:47In search of a winner of their own.
06:49It's Jair.
06:51It's a good ball in.
06:52Well defended by McCart.
06:54Thompson returns it.
06:59Dixon.
07:01And it's Anzu's shot blocked behind for a corner.
07:03The final whistle is gone.
07:09There will be no time for the corner.
07:12And Harts, who knew a victory would have earned them a top six spot,
07:17could not find the winning goal, nor could Motherwell.
07:20But it finishes at Perth Park in a deeply disappointing game.
07:25Motherwell, Nell.
07:26Harts, Nell.
07:2733 games into this Premiership season.
07:35And a dramatic day in prospect in Paisley.
07:39Much at stake.
07:41And the Dingwall team making a bright start.
07:44It's Josh Nisbet.
07:46Cleared by Gogic.
07:49Now Ashworth can play this back in.
07:52Nodded down by Connor Randall.
07:53In goes Jordan White.
07:55Great save from Zach Hemming.
07:58But he wasn't going to keep that out from Ronan Hale.
08:02Back in the team.
08:04And back among the goals.
08:06And Ross Canty in front after 22 minutes.
08:11Randall onside at the back post.
08:13His knockdown.
08:14Jordan White tried to bundle it in.
08:17Stabbed away.
08:18That was some save.
08:19Boyd Muntz chips it forward.
08:26Headed away by Achille Wright.
08:29Taylor.
08:31It's Keelan Boyd Muntz.
08:32It's some hit.
08:34It's 1-1.
08:37It's four goals in four games for the midfielder.
08:41He's 30 yards out here.
08:44And it's gone in like an arrow.
08:48That, St. Midland Hope, is the boost they were looking for.
08:52In goes Phillips.
08:58Aggressive as ever.
09:01Driving forward is Boyd Muntz who slips it through.
09:04Out comes the goalkeeper.
09:05Back goes right.
09:07They're getting a real old fan call.
09:10And Jonah Ayunga cashes in for St. Midrion and turns this game on its head.
09:15It's a must win for the Paisley team.
09:21And they're now 2-1 in front.
09:23It's going to be Zach Ashworth to play this in.
09:27Floated towards the back post.
09:29There's Jordan White.
09:30And there's 2-2.
09:33Right in front of the Ross County fans.
09:37Well, it's a painful blow for St. Midrion.
09:39They know all about the threat of White.
09:42But they just couldn't get close enough.
09:45And that was in before Boyd Muntz headed it into the roof of the net.
09:56On the charge.
09:58Marcus Fraser.
10:00Ayunga.
10:04McManaman.
10:06It's Odowo setting himself up.
10:08And scoring.
10:09Four minutes from time.
10:14What a moment that could be for Steven Robinson and St. Mirren.
10:21That goal sparking massive celebrations.
10:25On the touchline.
10:27And right around the ground.
10:30Couple of great touches to free himself.
10:33For the shot at goal.
10:34And having missed with the header moments earlier.
10:38He's rattled in an incredible right footer.
10:42That flashes past Amisa.
10:44And has the St. Mirren fans dreaming of a top half finish.
10:49All that leaves the William Hill Premiership table looking like this.
10:55Celtic will be champions.
10:57But it's not quite official yet.
10:59Technically Rangers could draw level on points.
11:01But Celtic would need to lose all their games.
11:04And Rangers would need to win all their games.
11:05Plus overturn a goal difference gap of 42.
11:08I'm going to stick my neck out and say that's not going to happen.
11:11Hibbs in third.
11:12But Dunne United and Aberdeen just three points behind.
11:14Very interesting in the bottom half.
11:16Only six points separating.
11:18Hearts in seventh place.
11:19And second bottom Dundee.
11:21St. Johnston five points adrift.
11:23St. Mirren in the top six.
11:25Callum Davidson just how big a success story is that?
11:29That's brilliant.
11:30A phenomenal achievement by Steven Robinson and his boys there.
11:34He'll be going home last night.
11:35Probably more relief than anything else.
11:37It was his wife's birthday as well apparently.
11:39Well it's a good birthday then for her.
11:41So I think it's a great achievement.
11:43I mean it's really difficult.
11:44People don't realise how difficult it is.
11:46Sometimes we go to the top six in the split.
11:49But it's a great achievement for a club like someone to get in again.
11:51And all credit for them.
11:53Richard Foster you are of course coach at Motherwell.
11:55So commiserations in the bottom six.
11:58Does every side in the bottom six have to be a bit worried?
12:03Yes.
12:03I think it would be very naive to think that any of the teams down there are completely safe.
12:08Even Hearts?
12:09Even Hearts.
12:09I think if Hearts approach these last five games and they're not fully at it then they can get dragged down.
12:15And they can just make it a horrible end to the season and we're exactly in the same position.
12:20I think every team need to go into this bottom half of the split thinking that you know what if we're not at it we could be dragged in and that would be terrible for all the teams.
12:28You know what you're both now free to go and watch the finale of the Masters.
12:31Thank you very much indeed.
12:33OK title race not quite over yet.
12:35Thankfully uncertainty abounds everywhere else in the table.
12:37Until next time from all of us on the support scene team.
12:40Good night.
