  1. G'nightpublished at 23:10 BST 2 September

    That's all from us tonight. We all need to get our heads down before another big day tomorrow.

    Transfer deadline day and the Edinburgh derby on the same day. Whose idea was that?

    Anyway, thanks for joining.

    Sportscene is still on for the next wee while. Finish watching that here or catch up on the iPlayer.

    Cheerio.

  2. McLeish hails St Mirren's first half at Kilmarnockpublished at 23:08 BST 2 September

    FT: Kilmarnock 0-1 St Mirren

    St Mirren manager Craig McLeish tells BBC Scotland: "Second half, our discipline and shape defensively... they didn't create clear-cut chances that hurt us.

    "But I want to play the way we did in the first half for 90 minutes. I know that's probably not realistic. There'll be times we have to suffer without the ball. We had to do that in the second half, but we were solid defensively.

    "The first half was great. It's what we want it to look like, played with real quality, but disappointed we didn't get a goal to follow the first one.

    "Someone just told me it's our first win here in over 10 years. Just delighted to get another three points."

    FT: Falkirk 1-2 Rangers

    So it sounds like Rangers will be keeping Nicolas Raskin, but does the "work with what we've got" line from Derek McInnes suggest their transfer business is done?

    They have been heavily linked with Portland Timbers striker Kevin Kelsy.

  7. 'Looks like we will hold on to Raskin' - McInnespublished at 22:57 BST 2 September

    FT: Falkirk 1-2 Rangers

    More from Rangers manager Derek McInnes on the transfer window, which slams shut at 17:00 BST tomorrow: "It seems to have been the longest window I can remember - so much going on. For us now, it will do everybody good if we can get the window shut and work with what we've got.

    "Players always settle a wee bit more. We've made some good signings, very young as you can see at times, but I'm confident we've got good talent here that can give us lots of encouragement between now and January and then see where we are.

    "We've now got two home games against Motherwell and St Mirren and hopefully we can be as good as we were in the best spells today while making it more of a 90-minute performance.

    "I'm just glad I'm able to choose [Nicolas Raskin] tonight. We can do with his experience in there. I thought he got better in the second half. Obviously delighted if we manage to hold on to him and it looks like we will."

  8. McInnes hails 'strength of team to bounce back'published at 22:53 BST 2 September

    FT: Falkirk 1-2 Rangers

    Rangers boss Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "Pleased with the win, pleased with certain aspects of it. Our start was good - a brilliant goal from Lawrence [Shankland] - and we passed up one or two other opportunities.

    "The pitch was difficult - very greasy and slippy. We invited unnecessary pressure on ourselves, no more than the equaliser. I thought Falkirk were the better team for a 15-minute period in the second half and we were fortunate not to concede.

    "The characteristics and strength of the team to bounce back and get the win was brilliant, a lovely finish again from Lawrence.

    "He passed up a really good chance, but he didn't let him affect him and his second goal is a lovely calm finish from such an important player. Delighted for him, delighted for the team to pick up another three points.

    "We are looking for learnings and improvements as we go along, but as long as you can win games as you try to get better. It's no bad thing to win when you're not at your best.

    "We can fine tune some of the attacking play, but we've got to not give too much encouragement to our opponents."

    Derek McInnes has been speaking to BBC Scotland.

    Like Mark, he'll love a packet of Pombears as well.

  10. Postpublished at 22:49 BST 2 September

    That's the best fan contribution of the night, Mark.

    The crisp talk. Then the sudden pivot to Rangers chat. World class.

    Pretzels can't be crisps though, surely?

    I go for a mix of crisps. From pretzels to pork scratchings, the strip ones. Pombears. Just whatever you're in the mood for. Rangers have got a lot of work to do. That’s was dire to watch tonight. I’m hoping more signings coming our way and fast.

  12. 'We just need that bit of a break' - McCannpublished at 22:46 BST 2 September

    FT: Kilmarnock 0-1 St Mirren

    Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann tells BBC Scotland: "You can see the boys are lacking a wee bit of confidence just now. Losing an early goal has been an Achilles heel.

    "It's just trying to get them to understand there's a lot of time left in the game and I felt they got themselves back into the match. Dominated the second half without looking like we were going to get back to our best.

    "We just need that bit of a break. It's hard sometimes. I felt it last year when I came in, to dig deep. The confidence is low.

    "But they really stood up in the second half, really went at it. We've got to keep going, keep believing, preparing right. It'll turn for them, without question."

  13. Aberdeen's season 'wont be defined' by Celtic defeatpublished at 22:42 BST 2 September

    FT: Celtic 3-0 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen boss Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "It's been a tough few days. I thought we lacked belief in the first half, we were way too passive for the first goal and we got punished by how clinical Celtic were.

    "We hit the crossbar at 2-0, which could change the game, they go up the other end and we make a mistake and the game is effectively over.

    "The positive I can take is I got a response second half to an extent. At least we showed a belief that we could play and we could pass.

    "Our season won't be defined by that, we won't let it be defined by that. It's up to us to respond on Saturday with a performance.

    "By the time we were brave it was too late and we got punished from a clinical side. They beat LASK 3-0 here, who are a very good side, much better than us, so we won't be defined by this.

    "I think I've got a fair idea [of my best XI]. I've signed 13 players, close to 16 have gone out. There's a lot of change, it was never ever going to be easy, it was never ever going to be without bumps in the road, and we've had a few."

  17. Celtic confirm Van den Berg arrivalpublished at 22:34 BST 2 September

    Those papers Martin O'Neill said need signed must've been done very quickly because Celtic have just confirmed the arrival of Joel van den Berg from PSV Eindhoven on a four-year deal.

    The 19-year-old only played six times for PSV's first team but thrived at youth level.

  20. Duran has 'set tone' for Celtic - O'Neillpublished at 22:25 BST 2 September

    FT: Celtic 3-0 Aberdeen

    Celtic manager Martin O'Neill tells BBC Scotland: "We played very well. We seemed to control the game for the most part and I thought the first goal was a big moment because the game was still in the balance.

    "Overall I'm just delighted with the win, the goals we scored and pretty pleased with the display.

    "He's [Camilo Duran] a terrific player. He has set the tone for us since the beginning of the season. He's playing in a position which is really strong for him but he can play in a number of positions, he's that good."

    On imminent signing Joel van den Berg, O'Neill adds: "I think there are a few papers to sign at this minute, maybe that can be done this evening. We want him, we need him, I'll be delighted when it's done."

    When asked about any further transfer, he jokes: "I have done very well giving you all this information."
