That's enough from me folks. Thanks for your company.
Let's do it all again tomorrow...
Top of the table clash
We have a cracker for you tomorrow, with Premiership leaders Celtic visiting Aberdeen.
Make sure you join us for all the action from Pittodrie.
FT: Partick Thistle 1-0 Motherwell
Motherwell boss Mark McGhee on BBC Radio Scotland
"We lost a goal that could have been avoided with some better thinking. Even if we'd won tonight and I'd still be saying we are in dogfight. All the teams are much of muchness and there will be days when we get the breaks."
FT: Morton 0-1 Hibernian
Hibs manager Alan Stubbs on BBC Radio Scotland
"We're in the final stretch of the season and it's just about picking up points. We weren't at our fluent best but we should have won more comfortably. We were maybe a bit over-elaborate at times but as long as we keep winning, I'm happy."
FT: Raith Rovers 0-1 Rangers
"I was disappointed by Raith Rovers. They stood off Rangers and you can't afford to do that against good players," says BBC Radio Scotland pundit Derek Ferguson.
FT: Raith Rovers 0-1 Rangers
Rovers boss Ray MacKinnon on BBC Radio Scotland
"It was difficult for us in the first half with the wind, but we got stuck in the second half and were much better. The referee has chalked off a perfectly good goal and we deserved something from that.
"It's outrageous. I've no idea where the referee gets that decision from. It was really, really poor. I'm a wee bit angry, I must say."
FT: Partick Thistle 1-0 Motherwell
Thistle boss Alan Archibald on BBC Radio Scotland
"It wasn't much of match and a lot of that was down to the conditions. There wasn't a lot of goalmouth action, with both teams cancelling each other out.
"We got a stroke of luck with the deflection for the goal but we'll take that and a good clean sheet. It's a massive three points because we have a tough run of games coming up."
FT: Partick Thistle 1-0 Motherwell
The Premiership is incredibly tight in the middle section. Thistle are now four points away from the relegation play-off place and four points off St Johnstone in fifth place.
If your team can put a wee run together, they can fairly zoom up the table.
FT: Partick Thistle 1-0 Motherwell
Here's a scene that did not look likely for 90 drab minutes at Firhill. But Steven Lawless ensured the home fans are going home happy, taking one touch then smashing in a shot that took a big nick off Kieron Kennedy on its way in.
