Okay, we'll park the 'early' starts here... You should be following Dundee v Hibs by now anyway. The Edinburgh side are 1-0 up at Dens Park but down to 10 men.
Hearts v Celtic follows at 19:45. Please, please, no delays for that one or we'll never get home.
Look out for reaction from Ibrox and Paisley in our reports and on our dedicated club pages.
FT: St Johnstone 1-0 Kilmarnock
St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari tells BBC Sport Scotland: "Big three points. The game was pretty much what we expected.
"We played against a very strong team who came and man marked us full pitch. It was not easy.
"First half, we suffered and we suffered a lot. We were giving corners and throw-ins away.
"We could not hold the ball at all but big credit to our players for how they started the second half.
"We started to find the right angles for our passes then we scored a nice goal.
"There was some defending to do but we handled it very well. It has not been an easy two weeks since losing the last match.
"We have good strikers and a lot of options there. All of them have different strengths. Makenzie Kirk has put his head down and has waited for his chance.
"He has been working very hard in training. I asked him to put the hard work in to help the team defend and he did fantastically. He's a very good finisher and it was a great goal."

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell tells BBC Scotland: "Frustration. I feel sorry for the fans who came up, the game had little quality and a nature the support can't enjoy, stop-start constantly.
"We were comfortable in the first half, fashioned one real chance. It was always going to be a game with very little in it. When they scored the two goals we became ragged and scrappy.
"We played into the drama and the stop-start nature. That's our responsibility."

FT: Ross County 2-1 Motherwell
Ross County manager Don Cowie tells BBC Scotland: "Delighted to win the game, I thought the first half hour of the second half we were excellent.
"Disappointed to concede late on but we managed to see it out and get a valuable three points.
"We attacked [the second half] really well. We built upon that and got the second goal and easily could've had a third.
"It was a fantastic goal [Joshua Nisbet] got, hopefully that's the first of many for him."

It took them near enough six hours to battle through chaotic road conditions to get to Glasgow but the Dundee United players - and supporters - will feel it was well worth all the hassle now they can go back up the road with a precious point from Ibrox.
With all the delays, it was nearly 6pm when a chorus of boos from the home fans greeted the final whistle. Rangers took far too long to turn up; much-improved in the second half but not quite good enough.
United's resistance was well-worth the ovation they got from their hardy band of followers.
More problems for Rangers and manager Philippe Clement, with the potential to be trailing leaders Celtic by 11 points unless Hearts can do them a favour at Tynecastle this evening.
FT: Ross County 2-1 Motherwell
Ross County have now amassed 12 points of their 15 points at home.

Rangers drop points at Ibrox for the first time this season.
They have actually gained a point on Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership but that will be no cause for celebration.
Leaders Celtic can go three points clear of Aberdeen and 11 points clear of Rangers with victory at Hearts later.
Dundee United remain three points off Rangers after a well-earned point at Ibrox.

Dundee United's spirit, determination and team-work was perfectly exemplified by a stunning series of blocks and saves by Jack Walton and his defenders.
It looked for all the world that Rangers would find the late goal they crave. They yet might. But it they won't find it easy.
St Mirren 2-1 Aberdeen
Wow.
Aberdeen almost equalise through a moment of genius from Duk.
The diminutive forward has his back to goal, but backheels it through a crowd of bodies and is only denied by the base of the post.
Rangers 1-1 Dundee United
Unbelievable from Jack Walton, who keeps out Ianis Hagi's long-range effort and then does ever so well to stop Robin Propper's follow-up.
Brilliant goalkeeping from the United man!

The visitors get out of their half for the first time in ages and win a corner. John Souttar nods it away.
Richard Taylor
Is Aberdeen's unbeaten league record about to fall in Paisley?
Richard Taylor towers above the Dons defence to head home Mark O'Hara's corner to the delight of the home fans.

It's like an attack v defence training session now, with Dundee United barely able to get away from their own penalty area, far less get out of their own half. It feels like it's only a matter of time before Rangers score again.
Watch highlights as St Mirren win 2-1 against Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership.
Aberdeen's unbeaten Scottish Premiership record ended in Paisley as Richard Taylor's towering header earned St Mirren the three points.
It is a first league loss in 21 games for Jimmy Thelin's side, who stay second but are now three points behind Celtic after they won at Hearts.
Rangers also move a point closer, and are now eight points back in third.
St Mirren, too, had been on an unbeaten run - three games before the international break - and raced out of the blocks against their high-flying opponents.
Toyosi Olusanya got in behind the Aberdeen defence from a long punt forward by goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe and kept his cool to slide low past Dimitar Mitov.
The home side were briefly reduced to 10 men when referee John Beaton sent off Alex Gogic for a heavy sliding tackle on Shayden Morris, but after VAR advised Beaton to review the incident, he downgraded it to a yellow card.
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin showed his dissatisfaction with a double change at half-time, bringing on Duk and Kevin Nisbet, and it sparked his side into life.
Duk posed problems down the left, and his cross eventually dropped to Jamie McGrath, who swept home to level the scores.
However, St Mirren stood firm, weathered the storm and slowly turned the tide.
Conor McMenamin had a shot well saved by Mitov, Olusanya fired just wide, but on 83 minutes, Taylor found the back of the net from Mark O'Hara's corner.
Duk hit a post with an audacious backheel soon after, but Aberdeen could not find a second equaliser.
Robinson spoke about how his side had nothing to fear from Aberdeen, despite their superb record, and his players played that way in the first half.
They made life uncomfortable for the visitors, pressing high, forcing Mitov into a couple of nervy clearances and almost scoring through McMenamin and Scott Tanser in the opening stages.
It got the home fans behind them and the buoyant mood in the stands was only boosted when Olusanya opened the scoring.
The striker showed what he's all about from the off, leading the press and generally being a nuisance. The yard of pace and composure he showed for the goal were that of a top centre-forward.
Much is made of St Mirren's defensive solidity under Robinson, but they played some lovely football as well, despite conceding the majority of possession.
Even when Aberdeen levelled, they did not panic and on another day they would have found the winner before Taylor's header, with McMenamin spurning a number of quality chances.
The nature of the performance was reflected by the number of fans who stayed after full-time to applaud the players from the park.
Thelin's down-to-earth outlook means there will not be an overreaction to Aberdeen's first league loss of the season.
The Swedish manager has stressed the long-term nature of this project since he walked through the doors at Pittodrie, and he will take positives from aspects of his team's performance in Paisley.
Once again, he showed his ability to affect games with substitutions, swinging momentum his side's way with the half-time introduction of Duk and Nisbet.
Duk in particular was excellent down the left, equally adept at hitting the bye-line or cutting inside, and it was his trickery that led to the equaliser.
Fully reintroducing the forward will undoubtedly prove beneficial in the weeks and months to come, and he almost snatched a point late on with his backheeled effort through a crowd of bodies.
The players went to the away end at full-time to acknowledge their support, highlighting the close bond that has formed this term with the fans. One defeat will not break that connection.
'In the crucial moments they were better' - Thelin after first league defeat
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: "I thought we were very good, very organised but created a lot of chances and good on the counter-attack.
"Considering the form Aberdeen have been in, it has to be classed as a very good performance.
"We were unfortunate not to be two or three goals up, Conor [McMenamin] probably could have had a hat-trick on another evening.
"We've had our blip, four or five games where we didn't play well. We had injuries and off-field problems, so we're starting to come through that. The league is so tight so no reason we can't [finish in the top six]."
Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin: "St Mirren came out in the first half much better than we did. They picked up duels and second balls better than we did which gave them momentum.
"In the crucial moments they were better, that's what we have to learn from.
"We have to focus on the right things. We didn't get in behind them as we wanted in the first half and that's why we made changes.
"I haven't seen [the Alex Gogic incident back]. I always trust the referees - they make a decision and we have to adapt to that."
