It's been far from gnome sweet gnome for Dundee of late, since they have just one win from their past 13 at Dens Park in the league.

It's looking very like that's going to be one in 14 unless the home side get their act together.

It doesn't look like there's any cohesion or any discernible plan for Rangers.

A chorus of boos greet Rangers and their beleaguered head coach, Russell Martin, as they head in at the break looking bedraggled in the Glasgow rain.

Lawrence Shankland's goal is the least Hearts deserve for a fine display from the visitors.

Alexander Schwolow is called into action at last.

Winger Djeidi Gassama forces the German goalkeeper to turn a low drive wide and the Hearts debutant has to punch clear the resulting corner from under his own crossbar.

Motherwell end the half with almost 70% possession and a goal to the good.

They've been an excellent watch again against a Dundee side who cannot get going.

Boos ring around Dens Park at the half-time whistle. They certainly aren't coming from the away end.

It's not been a classic, but both sides have had chances.

Lewis Neilson for Falkirk and Mark O'Hara for St Mirren have probably had the best of the opportunities.

Motherwell progress the ball from their own byeline and a free-flowing move ends with Emmanual Longelo smashing just wide of the near post.

The visitors really should be further ahead.

Not one for the purists at Pittodrie.

Aberdeen are still waiting for their first league goal of the season.

A good chance for Bojan Miovski after a ricochet takes the ball behind the Hearts defence.

However, the striker's attempted header after an awkward bounce lacks conviction and is is easily held by goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow.

Marcus Fraser, an ever present for St Mirren, has had to go off. The defender was felled by his own man while trying to clear a cross.

He's tried to play on but has now been replaced by Richard King.

Looks like it's starting to open up for Simon Murray to get a shot away, but the Dundee skipper just can't get the ball out of his feet.

Motherwell break instantly and win a corner, which comes to nothing.

Ross MacIver wasn’t getting much change out of St Mirren defender Alex Gogic early on but now the Falkirk frontman is starting to get bit of joy against the Cypriot in his aerial battles.

A lightning Motherwell counter ends with Ibrahim Said picking out Emmanuel Longelo at the back post, but his volley is all wrong.

So close to an equaliser out of the blue.

Rangers midfielder Thelo Aasgaard, having scored four goals in midweek for Norway, sends a curling shot from 25 yards towards the far corner. Or is it a miscued cross?

Either way, debutant goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow turns it on to the crossbar and over.

Tete Yengi brushes past two or three very soft Aberdeen tackles, but his tame shot is blocked.

This hasn't been a great watch so far.

That would have been some move from Falkirk. They work it from goalkeeper Scott Bain through the thirds to Dylan Tait.

The midfielder nudges it to Scott Arfield and his low cross is begging to be tucked away.

Ross MacIver slides in but puts it straight at goalkeeper Shamal George.

The offside flag goes up. Arfield was on, but Calvin Miller in the middle might not have been.
