Benjamin Nygren
Celtic have their breakthrough and Benjamin Nygren has his first goal at Celtic Park.
The Swede was on hand to tap in a rebound after Jerome Prior had saved Yang Hyun-jun's low drive from the left.
Two goals in two league games for summer signing Nygren.

If Brendan Rodgers is unhappy with the first half, he hasn't shown it by making an instant change. The same eleven retake the field. Can they improve on their efforts thus far?

Wow, what a goal.
Motherwell work it all the way from the goalkeeper, and it ends with Maswanhise finding the far corner in brilliant fashion.
Credit Elijah Just for his part, jinking in from the right and finding the Zimbabwean.

With wide players who like to cut inside, and a five-man opposing back-line inviting them to go into a congested area outside the box, there are signs of familiar failings so far for Celtic.
They struggled to break down St Mirren and couldn't get a goal against Kairat, who both adopted similar approaches. From where might Celtic find the spark of inspiration they require to find some penetration and create a chance or two?

Hearts 0-1 Motherwell
Not for the first time in his short Hearts tenure, Derek McInnes makes changes at half time.
Beni Baningime and Claudio Braga replace Pierre Landry Kabore and James Wilson.
Motherwell have been fantastic. Just hope it doesn’t come to a classic of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!

Jerome Prior deserves a clean sheet at the interval for that save alone.
The big talking point is that Celtic have not been creative. They haven't been able to cut Livingston up in any way. Livingston have been strong, physically organised and done their job.

Dundee have had the better of the game at getting forward. But then towards the end of the half, Kilmarnock have got a better grip on it and had some half chances.
We could do with a goal here at Rugby Park.

It's a good job Rangers (and the rest) are very poor or Celtic could have a bit of competition for once.

More Rodgers robotic tippy tappy safe rubbish. Come on we’re better than this.
Michael
Still trying to walk the ball into the net. Seems to be that Celtic need wingers that can actually put crosses into the box!!
David
Derek McInnes waxes lyrical about the quality he has on the bench before the kick-off. And being outplayed at home. Oh dear.
Angus
McInnes, get the next 45 right! Your job and reputation depend on it! Ditch Forrest, give us Braga, give Forrester a break!

As the home fans vent their frustrations after a woeful first half performance, the 700 or so fans who have made their way through from Lanarkshire must be incredibly happy.
It’s difficult to pick out one player but Elliot Watt has been bossing the midfield, giving Hearts little joy. The 25-year-old who spent the last six months of last season at St Johnstone has been excellent.
It would be no surprise at all if there were changes for the home side at the break.
Tactically, this game has been exactly as expected with Celtic doing all the pressing and Livingston doing all the frustrating.
Yang Hyun-jun will still be in a state of disbelief after Jerome Prior kept out his header with a stunning save.
Celtic have a strong bench and one or two of them might be required to break down Livi's resolve.

At one stage though, it looked like Joe Westley had scored his first Dundee goal. He chipped over Max Stryjek when the ball sat nicely to him in the box, but a Dundee player was offside in the build up.
There's been a couple of half-chances for either side in what has been an even contest.

I'm not sure how he saved that!

How did that stay out? Jerome Prior, that's how!
Superb from the Livingston goalkeeper as he manages to touch Yang Hyun-Jun's header on to the crossbar. It was point blank range.
Livi manage to scramble clear and Celtic are kicking themselves again.

Bruce Anderson was Kilmarnock's top goalscorer last season
At a glance
Kilmarnock remain unbeaten under new manager Stuart Kettlewell
Dundee steady ship with consecutive away draws to Rangers and Killie
Hosts dominate at Rugby Park but fail to make most of chances
Kilmarnock remain unbeaten under new manager Stuart Kettlewell as they played out a goalless Scottish Premiership draw against a much more resolute-looking Dundee.
The former Motherwell boss was not necessarily the most popular appointment at Rugby Park but good early season form has won fans round, with a League Cup quarter-final also on the horizon.
This game could have brought a win for Kilmarnock as captain Brad Lyons had two decent chances in the second half, but he was denied by his own team-mate taking the ball off his toes, and then a fine save from Jon McCracken.
The best opportunity fell to Bruce Anderson. The second-half substitute was picked out at the back post by Ben Brannan but glanced his header wide from six yards.
At Dundee, manager Steven Pressley got off to a nightmare start, resulting in their early exit from the League Cup, but after draws at Rangers and now Kilmarnock he appears to have steadied the ship.
The visitors did have the ball in the net in the first half, when Joe Westley chipped Max Stryjek inside the box. However, the former Burnley youngster was offside in the build-up.
More possession, more shots, more shots on target, more touches in the final third.
All the offensive stats skewed in Kilmarnock's favour - including their xG of 0.92 compared to Dundee's 0.25 - but they could not find a way through.
They flung ball after ball into the box from wide but they rarely found their man - all the more surprising given they were aiming for 6ft 7in striker Marcus Dackers.
Kilmarnock just missed that clinical edge, that accuracy with the final ball. Either McCracken produced a fine save, Dundee's defenders put in heroic blocks, or Killie's attackers missed the target. Still, they're unbeaten again and that will boost them.
Dundee will also take plenty of confidence from this.
They were written off before a ball was kicked in the league season, but taking a point away from Rugby Park has been hard to do in recent years.
Add that to the point from Ibrox and it's not been the wretched start that was forecast by many. Instead, Pressley is building belief at the back.
Now they just need Simon Murray firing them in again, and they'll feel a lot better.
Kilmarnock manager Stuart Kettlewell: "Happy with the performance? No. We could've done a little bit more in the final third.
"We were the better side, we had the better chances in the game. I felt we deserved to win it. But I don't go away happy, we could have given a lot more in our creation.
"I'll take away the major positives - we take away a clean sheet, it's a decent unbeaten run since the start of the season - but we fell a little bit short. I won't get carried away and be too despondent today. There's a lot to like."
Dundee head coach Steven Pressley: "It was important to come here and get a clean sheet, do the basics well. The one thing you need in a squad is spirit and determination and I saw that in all our players today. That was really encouraging.
"There's a lot of hard work ahead of us. We've shown some green shoots and a spirit and determination I'm really proud of. In terms of where we want to get to, we're still a million miles away."
Stuart Kettlewell returns to Fir Park next Saturday as Kilmarnock travel to Motherwell (15:00 BST), while Pressley's side face United in the Dundee derby next Sunday (14:00).
