Scotland: Latest news from the Scottish Premiership

-

 Let's explore some of Saturday's news and stories from the Scottish Premiership.

Aberdeen 3 - 1 Motherwell

Aberdeen roared back to form with an emphatic win over Motherwell

Kevin van Veen's penalty offered only a consolation for Motherwell, who are 11 games without a league win. They are only off the bottom on goal difference. 

Duk's header capped Aberdeen's first-half dominance before two delicious finishes from Bojan Miovski halted the Pittodrie side's sequence of five straight defeats.

You can listen to the thoughts of Barry Robson in the video below.

Aberdeen had suffered a miserable run of form. Click the links below to read about some of their recent performances.

Hearts 3 - 1 Dundee United

Stephen Humphrys scored the goal of the season after his Hearts side came back to sink 10-man Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.

Humphrys scored Hearts' third goal in stoppage-time from his own half. That stunning strike came after Lawrence Shankland and Alex Cochrane turned the game in the hosts' favour in the last 20 minutes.

Steven Fletcher had given United a deserved lead before Ryan Edwards' red card for a tackle on Andy Halliday changed the game before the break.

Livingston 3 - 1 Kilmarnock 

Livingston moved up to fourth in the Scottish Premiership as three goals inside the opening half-an hour earned a comfortable win over Kilmarnock.

Joel Nouble made his mark on his first start since November, nodding the hosts in front. This was before a cushioned Bruce Anderson finish and a sensational Stephen Kelly volley left Kilmarnock stunned and struggling.

Christian Doidge's first goal for the visitors wasn't enough as the Ayrshire club continue their search for a first away league win of the season.

Livingston now continues their pursuit of Europe. That is something that will be a huge boost for the club's finances and profile. 

Watch the video below to see the highlights of the match.

It's time to for another sliding doors moment in football  We travel back to 2004. Manchester United face Porto in the last-16 of the Champions League.  Author - Liam C What actually happened? A ontroversial offside call against Paul Scholes became a pivotal moment in European football history. The disallowed goal cost United a place in the quarter-finals, while Porto, managed by the up and coming manager José Mourinho, went on to win the competition and launch Mourinho into the managerial elite. But what if Scholes hadn’t been ruled offside? How might this alternative scenario have changed the landscape of world and European football? Scholes wasn’t offside: United progress Had the linesman not flagged Scholes for offside, Manchester United would have progressed to the next round of the Champions League. Scholes' goal was legitimate, and had it stood, United would have won the tie on aggregate, knocking out Porto and ending their European dreams. With the Red Devils moving

PL News: Ten Hag sacked by Man United

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Kilmarnock 1 - 0 Rangers Rangers remain six points behind the Premiership leaders after suffering a late defeat against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park. Author - Mark Lee In a lacklustre match, Rangers wasted several opportunities to secure three points. A combination of poor finishing and solid defending from Kilmarnock made it another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian manager. As the game was heading for a draw, David Watson's lob found Marley Watkins, who beat the offside trap and bundled the ball past Jack Butland. The Gers need to regroup quickly ahead of their Europa League match against FCSB on Thursday. Meanwhile, Derek McInnes' team has now moved to seventh place and are just outside the top six on goal difference. A closer look at how Kilmarnock stunned this Rangers side Home form has traditionally been a strength for Kilmarnock , but they had recorded five draws and one defeat in all competitions on their own pitch leading up to this game. ⚽️ Goal of the day: Mar
