    That's all for this season's Scottish Premiership but there's still some big domestic games ahead.

    Join us on Thursday for the first leg of the Premiership play-off final as Partick Thistle host St Mirren, with live text and radio coverage across BBC platforms. There will also be highlights on BBC Scotland and iPlayer.

    Then, on Saturday, it's the Scottish Cup final with Celtic meeting Dunfermline Athletic at Hampden. There will be live BBC TV, radio and live text coverage of that one.

    And, next Monday, it's the return leg of the play-off final in Paisley as St Mirren take on Thistle again with more live text, radio coverage and highlights.

    After all that, there's the small matter of Scotland's appearance at the World Cup but there will be plenty opportunity to preview in good time.

  3. McCann tips Curtis for World Cup squadpublished at 16:50 BST 17 May

    FT: Livingston 1-4 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann tells BBC Scotland: "The performance today was outstanding, considering maybe a lot of people thought this was a dead rubber game, we were still hunting down ninth. Congratulations to Dundee, not only staying up, Elvis [Steven Pressley] has done a brilliant job there.

    "After 15 minutes, they had to get a wee jag because it wasn't good enough. They were slack on the ball and we conceded. But after that, I thought we were exceptional."

    On scorer Findlay Curtis' World Cup hopes with Scotland, McCann said: "He's got a chance, of course. He's made the last couple of squads and he's really given Steve [Clarke] a nice problem to have.

    "I would have him in the squad but I don't ever pick Steve's squad or tell anybody how to pick their own team or squads. All he can do is just do his best. And if it's good enough for Steve, I'll be delighted to see him at the World Cup."

  4. Comeback 'typical' of Dundee - Pressleypublished at 16:46 BST 17 May

    FT: Dundee 3-2 Aberdeen

    Dundee manager Steven Pressley tells BBC Scotland: "I'm delighted. I was relatively satisfied with a number of aspects of our performance in the first half.

    "I just didn't think we had that aggression in defending our own box, which has been a feature of our performances this year. And to lose a goal from a set play where we've been strong, I was disappointed with that aspect.

    "In typical fashion, the players responded how they have all season to adversity by coming back to win the game.

    "Scoring a late goal, with the player that scored it, and the team as well, typified our season.

    "I'm really proud of the group. To finish eighth in a hugely challenging season is a decent achievement. We want to keep improving but it's given us a platform to continue to grow."

  5. Goodwin 'knows areas United need to strengthen'published at 16:40 BST 17 May

    FT: St Mirren 1-1 Dundee United

    Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "Really pleased with Keir Gilligan at left wing-back. Sam Harding, obviously, getting on the pitch, Scottie Constable and Owen Stirton as well.

    "That's an invaluable bit of experience for those guys and hopefully they can take a bit of confidence from that going in to next season.

    "We are disappointed with the position that we find ourselves in, in terms of finishing in the bottom half. The campaign as a whole hasn't been a disaster.

    "We've never been involved in the relegation battle at the end. The experience of Europe has been great. We've added some real good quality players to the group. On and off the pitch, I think the club is in a good place.

    "We know the areas that we need to strengthen and that's going to be the priority between now and the start of next season."

    I think St Mirren will be up against it in the play-off with Partick Thistle, but I saw enough to suggest they are capable of getting the job done.

  7. Aberdeen 'need changes' - Robinsonpublished at 16:32 BST 17 May

    FT: Dundee 3-2 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "It's not a surprise to me. I know the amount of work that needs done. The last two games I've shown me the work that needs done.

    "Footballers are given four and five-year contracts. That's very, very difficult. Some will leave, naturally. I've spoken to everybody this week, told the boys that will be part of it and boys that we don't want part of it.

    "No doubt, some will come back because they haven't got options but they'll be coming back on our terms, our work ethic, our fitness levels and our desire to win football matches. Otherwise, they won't play.

    "Ultimately, we need changes. We have to look forwards, not backwards. Every player now is battling to be an Aberdeen player.

    "We need to get a spine into the team. Another big blow with Mats [Knoester] today by the look of it. Early indications are that it doesn't look good. It's a knee injury - really badly swollen."

  8. Livingston 'need to get it right' next term - Arfieldpublished at 16:28 BST 17 May

    FT: Livingston 1-4 Kilmarnock

    Livingston interim player-head coach Scott Arfield tells BBC Scotland: "They were really good, Kilmarnock.

    "We got a good goal. We were brilliant for 20 minutes, causing problems. Half-chances that don't become major chances in the game is the difference. At the end, we have three brilliant chances.

    "It's a period of large transition [for Livingston]. They need to get it right. the Championship is a tough league to get out of."

    Arfield was also asked about his own future and said: "I don't actually know. I've no idea. If it is here then obviously I'll do my best to get the club back up. If it isn't, then I'm very grateful for the experience both as a player and also in this interim role."

  9. Douglas excellent in St Mirren draw - McLeishpublished at 16:16 BST 17 May

    FT: St Mirren 1-1 Dundee United

    St Mirren interim manager Craig McLeish tells BBC Scotland: "The first half had a little of bit of an end-of season feel to it. Second half, I thought we played with more energy, more intensity, we moved the ball quicker.

    "Luke Douglas was excellent. Thomas Falconer came on, did well too. Same with Caiden [McMillan].

    "It doesn't surprise me with Luke. I've seen him, I've seen him for years. I know the quality he's got and the tenacity he's got. He deserved a standing ovation at the end."

    McLeish also spoke about the upcoming two-legged Scottish Premiership play-off final against Partick Thistle.

    "If we turn up and perform the way we can then we're confident going into the two games," he said.

    "It's going to be a really tough game. I've enjoyed watching Partick under Mark Wilson.

    "We're excited, we're looking forward to it - we have to. We have to go in to it with excitement and belief."

    Luke Graham comes off the Dundee bench for the last few minutes at Dens Park.

    After months and months of speculation about his future this feels like it will be the last time we will see the defender in a Dark Blues shirt.

    Tony Yogane has made a real impact since coming on for Dundee.

    His pace and strength is certainly going to give the Aberdeen rearguard something to think about in the latter stages at Dens Park.

    Kilmarnock win four Scottish Premiership games on the bounce for the first time in eight years as relegated Livingston end the season with the familiar feeling of defeat.

    A rousing ovation for Luke Douglas as he is replaced by Caiden McMillan.
