Hat-trick!
Livingston 1-0 Cove Rangers
Huge chance for Cove as Fraser Fyvie gets on the end of Findlay Marshall's cross, but his sliding effort goes well over the top.
The visitors' best opportunity so far.
Dundee 4-0 Airdrieonians
Simon Murray should make it 5-0.
A cross comes in from the right and the Dundee skipper, just a few yards out, puts his shot straight at the keeper.
Dundee 4-0 Airdrieonians
Jane Lewis

Dundee are in complete control. Aidrieonians have offered very little going forward, but when they have ventured forward Jon McCracken has handled any threat.
Dundee hit six when these teams last met. Could they go higher this time?
Livingston and Cove are up and running again. The others won't be far behind.
HT: Livingston 1-0 Cove Rangers
Kenny Crawford
BBC Sport Scotland at Almondvale
It’s going to plan for the Championship side against their League One visitors so far, but Cove have definitely sprung into life a lot more since going behind.
Looks to me like 50-100 travelling fans, who'll be hoping for something to cheer in the second half.
HT: St Johnstone 0-0 Hamilton Academical
Brian McLauchlin
BBC Scotland at McDiarmid Park
St Johnstone had two glorious opportunities just before the break and Simo Valakari will be hoping they do not rue those.
Hamilton boss John Rankin will be asking his players just to stay in the game and who knows what can happen in the second half.

Despite Dundee's dismal form going into this one, and Rhys McCabe saying Airdrie had turned a corner, it has been one-way traffic at Dens Park.
Tony Docherty's side have set traps for Airdrie all over the park and the Championship side have walked into them every time.
On a handful of occasions, the Dee have pickpocketed the Diamonds in their own half and picked them off. Two for Rangers-bound Lyall Cameron, an easy header for Clark Robertson and a simple finish from Oluwaseun Adewumi. Easy days.
St Johnstone 0-0 Hamilton Academical
It's goalless in Perth as both sets of players head off for their half-time oranges.
As D:Ream once sang, things can only get better.
Ryan McGowan's goal put Livingston deservedly in front after 25 minutes, but Cove have come back into it since then.
The League One visitors should take great confidence from that going into the second period. Remember, Livingston had to play a semi-final on Wednesday night.
Scott Arfield is having fun and Falkirk are on course to return to the top of the Championship.
Arfield opened the scoring on 45 seconds and restored the Bairns' lead after Partick Thistle had moved in front.
Brian Graham scored the Jags' second but was sent off with his team 2-1 up.
Lyall Cameron
It's going from bad to worse for Airdrieonians.
Kieran Wright and Dean McMaster try to pass it between themselves, and there's Dundee players hounding them to win the ball on the edge of the box.
Simon Murray is one-on-one, but squares to the unmarked Cameron for his second of the day.
WATCH: Cameron converts Dundee's fourth
St Johnstone 0-0 Hamilton Academical
Makenzie Kirk finds himself free in the Hamilton box, but the St Johnstone striker can only put his header straight at Dean Lyness, who makes an easy save.
Jonathan Svedberg then has a flying header well stopped by Lyness.
Oluswaseun Adewumi
Another mistake at the back allows Dundee in. The ball is slipped to Lyall Cameron in the middle and he picks out Adewumi, who fires under the keeper to make it three.
The hosts bouncing back strongly and could score six themselves today.
WATCH: Adewumi makes it three for Dundee
Dundee 2-0 Airdrieonians
That's much more like it from Airdrie.
Lewis McGrattan is released down the right and cuts inside, squaring to Dean McMaster, who blasts at goal - but Jon McCracken is well behind it.
Livingston 1-0 Cove Rangers
Cove Rangers have been a lot better since going behind. They look a real threat form set-plays, but that's not due to aerial superiority.
That's two or three inventive corner routines now that have created clear opportunities.
Has anyone seen Austin MacPhee around Balmoral recently?
St Johnstone 0-0 Hamilton Academical
Brian McLauchlin
BBC Scotland at McDiarmid Park
After an early burst from both teams here in Perth the game has become vey scrappy.
The pitch is also not helping with very little grass on show down the flanks making control of the ball very difficult.
Scott Arfield
A double on his (second) debut. Scott Arfield does it again.
