  1. goal

    GOAL Celtic 2-0 St Johnstonepublished at 16:17 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Kyogo Furuhashi

    It all comes from a Celtic corner that's played short and worked to the edge of the box.

    Paulo Bernardo gets the initial shot away but it's saved by Josh Rae and the Portuguese midfielder has his head in his hands as Kyogo Furuhashi dives in and heads into the back of the net for his ninth of the campaign.

    It comes out to Igamane and what a finish that is.

    He just puts his laces through it.

  3. No penaltypublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Ross County 0-2 Hearts

    Free-kick instead...

    Ross Hardie came across to the screen and decided the foul was a yard outside the box. Neil Critchley isn't happy at all, and James Wilson has to wait for a chance to get his hat-trick.

    St Mirren 1-1 Dundee

    Dundee's Seb Palmer-Houlden forces a smart save from Ellery Balcombe at his near post.

    End-to-end action at the beginning of this second half.

    Hold on Mr Wilson. The ref is off to the monitor. Initial contact is outside the box.

  6. PENALTY TO HEARTSpublished at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Ross County 0-2 Hearts

    A chance for a James Wilson hat-trick?

    Michee Efete catches James Penrice with an arm across the face.

    Is it outside the box though? The referee is coming across to have a look.

  7. goal

    GOAL Motherwell 2-1 Rangerspublished at 16:12 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Hamza Igamane

    Game on!

    The half-time substitute lashes a fine finish by Aston Oxborough after the ball fell to him quickly.

    Danilo's initial strike cannoned off the post but Igamane was alert.

    Couple of checks for offsides, but the goal is good.

  8. CLOSE!published at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    St Mirren 1-1 Dundee

    First chance of the second period falls to St Mirren.

    Toyosi Olusanya finds himself in behind the Dundee backline but the striker's off-balance effort hits the side-netting.

  9. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    Celtic 1-0 St Johnstone

    St Johnstone defender Kyle Cameron turns the ball into his own net but the flag immediately goes up for offside and that's quickly confirmed by a VAR check.

    Hibernian 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Kyle Vassell lets fly from 30 yards but his ambitious strike is deflected wide by Rocky Bushiri. Nothing comes of the ensuing corner.

    That was Kilmarnock's first attempt on goal since the 15th minute.

  11. Quiet Kyogopublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

  13. goal

    GOAL Ross County 0-2 Heartspublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    James Wilson

    He's done it again!

    It took them 80 seconds in the first half. It's taken them 129 in the second half.

    James Penrice hangs up an inviting cross that just misses Liam Boyce, but Wilson glances it in behind him.

  17. Campbell leads Hibs chargepublished at 16:01 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    HT: Hibernian 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Brian McLauchlin
    BBC Sport Scotland at Easter Road

    The confidence that is oozing through this Hibernian side has been evident from the first whistle. One key player who has had another major impact is Josh Campbell. His constant runs from midfield are going unchallenged by the Killie defence and it looks as if a second goal is inevitable.

    Derek McInnes has some work to do at half-time and find a way through the home defence who have looked very solid.

  18. Fair from foulpublished at 15:59 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    HT: St Mirren 1-1 Dundee

    Kheredine Idessane
    BBC Scotland at the SMISA

    Fair play to both sets of players for making a game of this amid the driving wind and rain.

    Both goals were well worked, similarly delicious crosses devoured by Simon Murray and Toyosi Olusanya respectively.

    Extra credit to Dundee for overcoming the loss of two more players after defenders Jordan McGhee and Billy Koumetio had to go off injured in the first half hour.

    These two were top six sides last season - if Dundee can get all their players back, they'll fancy their chances of joining the Buddies in the top half again. The hosts' current run of form suggests they've every chance of equalling or bettering last season's fifth place finish.

  19. Motherwell oozing beliefpublished at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    HT: Motherwell 2-0 Rangers

    Jane Lewis
    BBC Sport Scotland at Fir Park

    What a first half performance from Motherwell. They played with such confidence, winning every battle all over the pitch. Their two goals have given them such belief, their tails are well and truly up.

    The second half will be interesting. Motherwell will believe they can add to their tally? What do Rangers do? They made so many changes for this one, and it's shown.

  20. Celtic in cruise controlpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 29 December 2024

    HT: Celtic 1-0 St Johnstone

    Martin Dowden
    BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic Park

    It's a slender lead but Celtic are in total control.

    It's been wave after wave of attack. Celtic haven't hit top form but are doing more than enough with the visitors having to put in some shift, constantly closing down space without the ball.

    Expect them to tire and that may bring goals.

    A more than satisfied reaction at half-time from these fans, particularly given the wider context over at Fir Park with Rangers badly struggling.
