Scottish Premier League Results
-------------------------------
Aberdeen 2          Motherwell 0
(Grant, Kane)

Aberdeen's first goals for quite a few weeks should secure them 4th spot
in the league this season. Motherwell will be glad to see the end of 
the season after having so many injuries.

Airdrie 3           Dunfermline 2
(Boyle, Conn        (McWilliams, Moyes)
Kirkwood)

Airdrie secured their place in the Premier League next season. Much has
been made of their battling qualities but check out Hearts cos they're just as
bad ! Airdrie are now one game away from a place in European Cup Winners Cup
place if they beat Hearts in the semi final of the Scottish Cup. 

Celtic 3            St Johnstone 2
(Nicholas 2,        (Redford, Cherry)
Fulton)

Celtic's lowest crowd of the season (13 000) demonstrating that people are
fed up with the load of cowboys running the club just now. Celtic are
struggling for a place in Europe with Hearts just now and should Airdrie
make it into the Cup Winners Cup, then Celtic could lose out.

Dundee Utd 1         Rangers 2
(McInally)           (Mikhailichenko, Brown)

Rangers have all but clinched their 4th league title in a row and 42nd
title in all. Confirmation should be achieved this weekend with a farewell
thrashing of St Mirren at Ibrox. Just think no more Roy AItken, no more 
visits to Love Street and no more Kenny McDowall. Celtic will also have
to find another easy source of points next season but it looks as if
Dundee Utd could help out. Anyway back to football, even without McCoist
and Hateley, Rangers still managed to set a new Premier scoring record of
91 goals. Mikhailichenko was the inspiration (again) and he could do serious
damage to Scotland during the European Championships this summer.

Anyone know the standings for the Golden Boot Award for Europe. As far as
I know Ally McCoist is the leader with 29 league goals.

Falkirk 2            Hibernian 3
(Smith, Baptie)      (Hamilton, Donald, McIntyre)

Not much to say here....

Hearts 0             St Mirren 0

......or here.   Hearts will probably finish second to Rangers in the League
but the gap between the 2 clubs is a lot more than the position in the league
table tells. Hearts have been involved in many dross games this season but
this was one of the worst.  They are totally clueless and skilless and this
is reflected in their poor discplinary record ..... 10 sendings off and 
about 70 bookings. Watched by only 6 000 and booed off the park. Says it
all.

Premier League Table  11-April 1992  44 games in all.
