  5. HALF-TIME - Hibernian 1-1 Dundeepublished at 15:53 British Summer Time 24 August

    Hibs avoid the half-time boos at Easter Road thanks to Martin Boyle's free kick. Before that, they were struggling a bit.

    Dundee looked menacing early on and took the lead through Scott Tiffoney and then had a Lyall Cameron goal chalked off for a tight offside.

    They'll be frustrated they conceded the initiative to Hibs late on in that half.

  7. HALF-TIME Dundee United 0-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 24 August

    That was a tough watch, I'm afraid.

    United haven't had a shot since David Babunski's skyward volley in the 16th minute.

    St Johnstone's only chance of note came from a slack back pass.

    Plenty of fight, but both sides desperately need to improve.

  8. HALF-TIME Rangers 2-0 Ross Countypublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 24 August

    Total domination from Rangers, who have been impressive at Hampden and should be further clear.

    Cyriel Dessers and Rabbi Matondo with the two goals, but better finishing could have sent Philippe Clement's men down the tunnel with four or five.

    Mohamed Diomande came on to replace the luckless Leon Balogun seconds before Rabbi Matondo made it 2-0 for Rangers.

    It means the home side's current centre-back pairing is John Souttar and Dujon Sterling.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 24 August

    Dundee United 0-0 St Johnstone

    How has he not scored?

    St Johnstone striker Benjamin Kimpioka steals a back pass, rounds the goalkeeper and hits the post from a narrow angle.

    It bounces kindly to Andre Raymond - but he puts it over from two yards out!

    Martin Boyle takes over free kick duties and bangs it into the net!

    There are a few question marks over the goalkeeping of Jon McCracken there. He was a bit flat-footed.

    Hibs don't care. All square out of nothing.

    Had been coming!

    A more than deserved second for Rangers as a gorgeous cross from James Tavernier is cushioned in at the front post by Rabbi Matondo.

    Rangers 1-0 Ross County

    Aidan Denholm, you've got to pass.

    County race away on the break once more, but the on-loan Hearts midfielder shoots from range rather than trying to play through Ronan Hale.

    St Johnstone striker Adama Sidibeh is into the book as he tries to punch the ball into the back of the net.

    Not quite the 'hand of god'...

    Hibernian 0-1 Dundee

    Nicky Cadden gets another go with a free kick from a similar position as earlier. It's even worse - blazed miles off target.

    Hibs have improved, but they are crying out for some quality.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:44 British Summer Time 24 August

    Rangers 1-0 Ross County

    Rangers continue to push. They could easily have four.

    A short corner is whipped in towards John Souttar, who takes a sore one while forcing goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw to tip over the centre-back's header.
