HALF-TIME St Mirren 0-0 Dundee Utdpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time
St Mirren will be disappointed they're going into the break level.
They've had the better chances but don't have a goal to show for it.
United have shown flashes, although they've done the most defending.

GREAT SAVE!published at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time
St Mirren 0-0 Dundee Utd
United goalkeeper Jack Walton is at full stretch to parry away Killian Phillips' header towards the far post.
Good effort and a good save.

"You don't know what you're doing!" is the chant ringing round the home sections as the St Mirren fans give referee David Dickinson absolute pelters for awarding a foul to Dundee United when defender Mane Adegboyega appears to slip under pressure from Greg Kiltie.
Think the fans have a point about the decision.

St Mirren 0-0 Dundee Utd
United goalkeeper Jack Walton spills a fierce Greg Kiltie effort from the edge of the box and luckily nothing comes of the rebound.
St Mirren putting a bit of pressure on again.

"Let's get this going!" screams the Dundee United manager from the edge of his technical area.
Jim Goodwin's watched his side get a little ragged in the last few minutes, having had a decent spell prior to that.
There's an edge about this one, with a few tackles flying in. Both keepers have had to dirty their jerseys. All we need is a goal.

Hibernian 2-0 Motherwell
Another Hibs chance! Motherwell are rocking.
A corner falls to Josh Campbell, who miscues his shot, but it comes to fellow midfielder Nectarios Triantis at the back post.
He doesn't show the same composure as he did a few moments ago and his second goal of the game is not forthcoming.
Ouch! Well lose McGinnpublished at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time
Hibernian 2-0 Motherwell
It's gone from bad to worse, to even worse for Motherwell. Paul McGinn has pulled up while chasing back and the defender looks distraught.
He's got his hands on his head and knows it's a bad one. It's his first start since 5 October after two months out - and now it looks as though he'll spend another few weeks on the sidelines.
Dan Casey comes on and into Motherwell's defence.

St Mirren 0-0 Dundee United
Kheredine Idessane
BBC Scotland at the SMISA
After being dominated in the opening 20 minutes, Dundee United are now settling into this one well.
Luca Stephenson, Ross Docherty and Vicko Sevelj are seeing more of the ball and Sam Dalby and Glenn Middleton look a real handful up front.
I'd be surprised is this is goalless much longer. Jinxed it, probably.
GOAL Hibernian 2-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:32 Greenwich Mean Time
Nectarios Triantis
Quickfire double from the hosts - and there is no doubt this time!
It's a bit of a shocker initially from Ewan Wilson, who lets a pass from his goalkeeper run across him and invites Nectarios Triantis to take it off his toes.
The rest is sheer quality as the Hibs midfielder strides into the box and slides a low finish off the inside of the far post and in.
Lethal from Hibs.

St Mirren 0-0 Dundee Utd
Free-kick in a dangerous position for St Mirren.
They opt to cross it, but centre-half Declan Gallagher is there to turn it away.
GOAL Hibernian 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:29 Greenwich Mean Time
Martin Boyle
FInally a moment of quality. And who needs Nicky Cadden?
His replacement, Jordan Obita, drives at his man and lashes a low ball across the face of goal and Martin Boyle reacts quickest to tap home.
The winger looks like he was offside from one replay, but they draw the lines and it stands!

Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
This is not a classic.
Motherwell have edged their way into the game, but the only shot we have had is from Hibs' Josh Campbell's, which was deflected well wide.

Third-top take the lead over the side just behind them in League 2.
Postpublished at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time
St Mirren 0-0 Dundee Utd
Vicko Sevelj's effort looks a dangerous one, but St Mirren centre-half Richard Taylor gets his head in the way.
Ouch! Hibs lose Nicky Caddenpublished at 15:22 Greenwich Mean Time
Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
Wide man Nicky Cadden will not be returning for Hibs after all. He had some blood on his top and had already taken a sore one earlier on his leg.
Jordan Obita is now on in his place. That's a big blow for Hibs. Cadden's been their star man this season.

St Mirren 0-0 Dundee United
Kheredine Idessane
BBC Scotland at SMiSA Stadium
Dundee United are like a giant tangerine sponge at the moment, soaking up all St Mirren's early pressure.
The home side has had by far the better of the play, but the visitors' backline is standing firm, with United looking dangerous on the break and Glenn Middleton's pace problematic for the St Mirren defence.
Ouch!published at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time
Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
Nicky Cadden has taken a sore one to the face, but the Hibs left wing-back is on his feet and walking.
He has to go off the pitch as per the rules, but he'll be back on shortly.
Postpublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time
St Mirren 0-0 Dundee United
Kevin Holt leathers a peach of a half volley, but it's straight at home goalkeeper Zach Hemming.
He hit that so sweetly. Unlucky.
Postpublished at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time
St Mirren 0-0 Dundee Utd
United haven't looked too convincing from balls into their area.
St Mirren are hungry for the second ball as well.
Postpublished at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time
Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
Josh Campbell drives into the Well box and the midfielder's shot is deflected behind for a corner.
Hibs made the most of set-pieces against Rangers. But this one is punched convincingly by Motherwell debutant goalkeeper Archie Mair.
