  1. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:20 Greenwich Mean Time

    Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Nicolas Kuhn is denied a stunning goal.

    The Celtic winger produces an excellent overhead kick to find the bottom corner just after missing a one-on-one!

    However, it is ruled out for offside.

  2. Busy 33 hours ahead?published at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    It looks as though Rangers manager Philippe Clement has the three points tied up here.

    The question is, how busy will he be between now and the closure of the transfer window at 23:00 GMT on Monday?

  3. Postpublished at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    Cyriel Dessers has a run at the County defence and fires low into the side netting.

    No shortage of effort there from the Rangers striker.

  4. Attack versus defencepublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time

    It's attack against defence here at Ibrox, with County unable to get out of their own half in the opening minutes of the second half.

    Rangers are in the mood for more. Can County keep this respectable after already losing six to Rangers the last time they were in Glasgow?

  5. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    Disallowed goals arrive like buses.

    At Ibrox, John Souttar thinks he has a second, but the centre-half and his Rangers team-mates are left disappointed by the offside flag.

    James Tavernier's shot was saved, Cyriel Dessers, who was offside, tried to convert the rebound and Souttar did find the net before the offside flag was quickly up and vindicated by VAR.

  6. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time

    Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Tom Sparrow knocks the ball into his own net, but the goal is ruled out for an offside infringement against Adam Idah in the build-up.

    The Celtic striker had cut a wicked ball back from the bye-line and it hit the defender in front of goal.

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    That would've been quite the introduction.

    Bailey Rice stings the palms of County goalkeeper Jordan Amissah minutes after coming on as a substitute.

    It was a nice lay-off by Ianis Hagi and a fine effort by the 18-year-old - he's got a lovely left foot. Great save too.

  8. Rangers & County changespublished at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    County manager Don Cowie has gone to his bench at half-time with right-back James Brown and midfielder Scott Allardice coming on for Nohan Kenneh and Josh Nisbet.

    Rangers also make a change, with 18-year-old midfielder Bailey Rice, who impressed in the Europa League against Manchester United, taking the place of Mohamed Diomande.

  9. KICK-OFF SECOND HALFpublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time

    We're about to get under way at Fir Park and Ibrox.

    Is there any way back for the underdogs at either ground? You imagine it will be less likely in Glasgow.

  10. 'Celtic given too much space'published at 16:01 Greenwich Mean Time

    HT: Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Stephen Craigan
    Former Motherwell defender on Sportsound

    Motherwell need to make the game more compact. There's too many gaps.

    They need to keep it at 2-1 as long as possible and hope that they can nick something back.

  11. Armstrong a livewirepublished at 16:00 Greenwich Mean Time

    HT: Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Celtic with lots and lots of possession.

    To go 1-0 ahead after a matter of seconds, you think Celtic were going to win it comfortably. But Motherwell worked hard to equalise and then Celtic again get their noses in front.

    Motherwell are not out of it, especially at Fir Park, and they have a livewire in Armstrong up front. I don't know how he is going to last 90 minutes, he's working so hard.

  12. 'Curtains for County'published at 15:55 Greenwich Mean Time

    HT: Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    Steven Thompson
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    73% possession. 17 shot to one for Rangers. County have been pretty poor.

    The first goal is avoidable, a bit unlucky with the second and, with the third, it's just curtains.

    Rangers dominant and not really a test in all honesty.

  13. Celtic on top and look capable of morepublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time

    HT: Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Martin Dowden
    BBC Scotland at Fir Park

    Increasingly, Celtic have taken complete grip of the middle of the pitch and it feels like a matter of time before they get another.

    Motherwell did well to respond after losing such an early goal, particularly after the week they've had with Stuart Kettlewell leaving.

    They might have to change things to make more of a fight of it in that central area. They're outnumbered there constantly.

  14. HALF-TIME Motherwell 1-2 Celticpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time

    Daizen Maeda got Celtic off to a dream start start when he headed in Anthony Ralston's cross after 49 seconds and you feared the floodgates could open given all that the Motherwell players have had to deal with this week.

    However, caretaker boss Stephen Frail's side defended well thereafter and equalised in the 23rd minute through new signing Luke Armstrong.

    Armstrong's first in claret and amber was quickly cancelled out, though, by Adam Idah's 11th of the season.

    A first half with plenty of positives for both sides!

  15. HALF-TIME Rangers 3-0 Ross Countypublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time

    First halves don't come much better than this for Rangers.

    Ianis Hagi with a double and John Souttar with his first goal of the season have them well on their way to three points, unless County can mount an almighty comeback in the second period.

    The aggregate score in this fixture this season stands at Rangers 12 Ross County 0.

  16. Souttar makes his markpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    BBC Radio Scotland pundit Steven Thompson says John Souttar behaved like a striker with that third Rangers goal. The Scotland defender certainly finished well.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time

    Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Daizen Maeda could have had a hat-trick in this first half!

    His latest effort is saved by goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe after Luke McCowan's delicate dinked pass picks out the Celtic winger inside the box.

  19. 'Really poor goal to lose'published at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time

    Rangers 3-0 Ross County

    Steven Thompson
    Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound

    Another really, really poor goal to lose from Ross County's perspective and it's Raskin, unbelievably, probably the second smallest player on the pitch, with the initial header.

    It goes to the back post, it's going to go past the post, but John Souttar - acting like a striker sniffing the danger - and he's at the back post to tap the ball high into the net.

  20. CLOSE!published at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time

    Motherwell 1-2 Celtic

    Luke McCowan's corner is met by Daizen Maeda at the back post, but the Celtic winger heads wide from inside the six-yard box.

    Perhaps he saw it late, but that really should be 3-1.
