Just a standard Wednesday. Cheerio.
FT: Rangers 3-1 Dundee United
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland "We're making hard work of it [securing European football and finishing fourth], there's no getting away from that fact, the last four results haven't been good enough.
"But I think, I've said it numerous times, if you had offered us this opportunity on Saturday, way back at the beginning of the season, a one-off game to go and potentially, not just secure a fifth, but clinch fourth, would be a remarkable finish for us.
"We'll need to recover quickly. We've came here tonight with only six subs on the bench, given the injuries that we have to some key players - one or two have limped off again tonight - so the medical team are going to be extremely busy over the next 48 hours to try and make sure these players are ready to give their all in a really difficult game against Aberdeen."

Kilmarnock assistant manager Paul Sheerin tells BBC Scotland: "The manager made his point in the press before the game and in the lead up, so we know his stance on the situation. That's the only reason I'm stood here.
"There's walks of life where you work your notice and nothing is really said about it. It's part and parcel of people's contracts. The manager has done everything he can to be in the dugout for the last couple of games, he's stressed that to the players - he'd love to be here.
"He's got a brilliant relationship with the club and always has. If it all to go through and be finalised, he's leaving them in a far better place than what they were.
"I understand their frustrations and there is an awkwardness about it. We can't get away from that. But I'm sure the manager will do his best for the club."

Paul Sheerin coming up shortly.
FT: Motherwell 3-0 Kilmarnock
Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland's Jane Lewis: "I'm very happy, very proud of the guys. It was a great atmosphere.
"It was not so easy, despite the red card. We needed a lot of patience, but the guys did really well. They were good in possession, it was only a matter of time until we scored.
"It's not our biggest strength - scoring goals. But they believe in themselves. They kept possession, played quickly, ed quickly, and deserved to win.
"This is what I want to see from my team, I don't like to be one in front and then defending the goal. Always keep going. Play for the second goal. If you get that, play for the third. This should be the attitude. It's always better to attack than defend.
"It's 11 games. I have a perfect picture. I know everything. I can say it is a brilliant team. Each guy in this team is brilliant, I love each guy. But we have to take decisions. We want to improve, we have to do something."

On Vaclav Cerny, Barry Ferguson added: "I know he's loved his time here at Rangers. It's a special place to play football, with special ers and it was just a case of, I thought he was tiring a wee bit, bring him off, round the applause and he lapped it up.
"What I do know is Vaz loves it here, he loves playing for the club, so we'll see what happens over the summer, but listen, he's had a brilliant season for us, he's been a big player for Rangers, he's certainly been a big player for me and again, he's another one that's been, he's been a joy to work with."

Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson tells BBC Scotland: "It's easy to be in holiday mode but I demanded that wasn't the case, certainly, starting on Sunday. We got that monkey off our back with a win against Aberdeen and I just wanted it to continue tonight and I've got to give the players credit."
On that potentially being his final home game as boss, he said: "It's been a brilliant three months for me, I've loved every single minute of it. I never thought it would ever happen, but I've come in and I've given it my all and so has my staff, and, to be fair to the players, so have they.
"We've had a few disappointing results as I said, but again, I've demanded from them to come back from poor performances and poor results and they've always done that for me, but in of the ers, a brilliant reception going round there.
"The level of from the staff inside Ibrox from the training centre and certainly from the fans inside Ibrox and also when I've played away from home, they've always got right behind me, so of course I appreciate that."
Image source, SNSAs I obviously try and kill some time until we get these manager quotes through... humour me. Who is going to finish 11th?
Thumbs up for Ross County (who finish at home to Motherwell), or thumbs down for Dundee (away to St Johnstone).
Speaking of absent managers, there's no Tony Docherty speaking to BBC Scotland's Andy Burke at Dens Park. It's assistant Stuart Taylor.
The Dundee boss certainly looked far from happy - to say the least - with that late penalty. Not only did it relegate St Johnstone, but it also put his own team back into play-off danger.

It's a positive to end Rangers' season in of home fixtures, and you can't argue with the outcome.
They did enough and can move on awaiting clarity that is coming sooner rather than later as a new chapter threatens to dawn.
Fans chanted Barry Ferguson's name in appreciation of his contribution. Not may expect he'll remain in charge, though.
For United, a European place comes down to a home test against Aberdeen. They'll need to produce a big, big performance.

St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland: "It was not good enough for a long time because the table doesn't lie. It really, really hurts.
"We are crying tonight and tomorrow but always looking forward. This season is history. We need to change things and get this beautiful club back to winning ways.
"It's hard to play in relegation battles but it's even harder to play for promotion .That's what our aim is and that's what we start doing the day after tomorrow. It's a big, big job and will require a lot of effort every day.
"We can't have off days. We already started preparing, but we wanted to fight to stay in the Premiership. No excuses, we were not good enough.
"Numerous things need to change - some big, some small. It's more how you sustain this level and effort every match. Our weaknesses have been too big."
Asked if he expects to stay in charge next season, Valakari replies: "Things need to change and we are starting this change. We can't anymore like it has been three or four years flirting with relegation. It needs to go back to being successful and being more stable.
"I don't need to make any decisions. I want to stay. I want to rebuild this club and be successful with this club."

FT: Aberdeen 1-5 Celtic
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at Pittodrie
Celtic cruised to this win with ease.
Not bad for what was effectively a second string Hoops side.
While it reinforces Celtic's superiority and squad depth, it will also have the Aberdeen fans perhaps fearing what will happen when the sides meet at Hampden in the Scottish Cup final later this month.
The only positive for Aberdeen is that St Mirren's draw with Hibs means they are now assured of European football next season.
Image source, SNSSecond-half goals from Luke McCowan, Johnny Kenny - his first for the club - and Adam Idah seal a comfortable victory for a much-changed Celtic side at Pittodrie.
It's an ominous marker for Aberdeen before the Scottish Cup final later this month.

Adam Idah
Ooft.
Adam Idah sweeps home a fifth for Celtic after Nicky Devlin blocked Adam Idah's shot on the line.
It's been a walk in the park for the champions.
If the final few minutes at Dens could be summed up in a pic...
Image source, SNSWe're into four added on up in Aberdeen.
Ronan Hale's "massive" 96th-minute penalty rescued a draw for Ross County against Dundee, relegated St Johnstone, and ensures both these sides go into the final game still battling to secure their Scottish Premiership status.
It looked like Scott Tiffoney's strike early in the second half had secured safety for Dundee and set up a last-day showdown between St Johnstone and County to avoid finishing bottom.
However, deep into stoppage-time, Antonio Portales was penalised for a handball and Hale smashed home from the spot to secure a priceless point for the visitors.
"It's massive, it means on Sunday it's all to play for," County manager Don Cowie told BBC Scotland.
"I know Dundee will feel aggrieved in the manner [it came]. It was a pretty nothing cross, they win the first and it hits their second defender on the arm.
"They'll be really disappointed, but we were probably due that little bit of luck and we'll certainly take it."
Dundee knew a win would allay their own relegation fears, but County edged the first half, going close through Hale and Akil Wright. At the other end Seb Palmer-Houlden was denied by a good save from Jordan Amissah.
Tony Docherty's interval introduction of Tiffoney proved inspired as the substitute fired home after an exquisite from Lyall Cameron carved County open.
Dundee then bombarded the visitors' goal as Palmer-Houlden, Joe Shaugnessy and Simon Murray forced Amissah into smart saves.
Those missed chances would prove costly and means they visit relegated St Johnstone on Sunday, while County host Motherwell in the fight to avoid the relegation play-off place.
Docherty's side do have the cushion of a two-point advantage and a better goal difference, but they have been hauled back into a fight that they thought they had escaped.
Docherty had called for Dundee to be calm in the midst of such a pressurised match, but much of their play in the first half betrayed a sense of nerves.
Chances in the opening 45 minutes were few and far between, but the introduction of Tiffoney at the break was the catalyst for a much improved second period.
The intelligence of Cameron's through ball was the first real moment of quality, and Tiffoney displayed irable composure to tuck away the chance.
That energised the home crowd and the team, and only some brilliant goalkeeping from Amissah prevented Dundee from calming the nerves with a second goal.
It looked like that would not matter as the seconds ticked away towards full-time, but that late penalty award was a sickening blow.
They need to bounce back, and fast.
County's wastefulness has been central to their struggles this season – they are the lowest scorers in the Premiership – and it was evident again at Dens.
They created several promising openings. Hale was unfortunate to see his deflected strike hit the crossbar rather than the net after brilliant run from halfway that took him past several defenders.
Wright should have buried his header from the subsequent corner after being left unmarked just six yards out.
Tiffoney's goal for Dundee seemed to knock the stuffing out of County, though they really should have levelled when Hale blazed horribly wide from eight yards after being teed up by Alex Samuel.
It's to Hale's credit that he brushed that aside to hold his nerve for the most pressurised of penalty kicks.
And while County would have loved a win, they have ended their seven-match losing run in the nick of time.
Dundee assistant manager Stuart Taylor: "We controlled the game. For large spells, we were very comfortable. I thought the lads defended really, really well and attacked really well too, creating good chances.
"So really, really disappointed we didn't get the result that we deserved and we go again on Sunday.
"I have [seen the penalty incident], but I'll leave it out for everybody else to talk about, which will be the case. So no comment from us."
Ross County manager Don Cowie: "Ronan [Hale] showed a lot of bottle going up. The pressure must have been immense stepping up and he must be delighted with the way he dealt with that pressure.
"Incredible character that he showed stepping up. There was no doubt in his head that he was taking it."

Dundee have lost all three of their Scottish Premiership games against Ross County this season, but have never lost four in a row against the Staggies in the top-flight before.
Ross County have never beaten a single opponent four times within the same Scottish top-flight campaign before, something they will achieve over Dundee should they win here.
Dundee have only won their final home game in one of their last nine top-flight campaigns (D4 L4), a 3-1 victory over Hibernian in 2021-22.
Ross County have only won their final away game in one of their last six Scottish Premiership seasons (D2 L3 – including curtailed 2019-20 season), a 2-1 victory at Motherwell in 2020-21.
Since Christmas Day, Dundee have won just one of their 10 home league games (D3 L6), and have the fewest home points in the Scottish Premiership in this time (6).
