Double change for United - and a goalpublished at 16:14 British Summer Time 3 May
Hibernian 2-1 Dundee United
Kheredine Idessane
BBC Scotland at Easter Road
No surprise at all to see visiting boss Jim Goodwin ring the changes at half-time. His team were poor in that first 45 - and that's being generous.
Babunski and Van der Sande have been hooked, replaced by Trapanovski and Middleton.
Goodwin knew he had to go for it, if he wants to salvage his hopes of third place. And one of the subs makes an impact straight away!
GOAL Hibernian 2-1 Dundee Unitedpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time 3 May
Kristijan Trapanovski
United are back in it!
Will Ferry delivers United's corner from the right and there's a wee scramble in the box before Myko Khuarevich makes a mess of clearing the ball. Substitute Kristijan Trapanovski makes no mistake from close range.

Hibernian 2-0 Dundee United
Jim Goodwin has made a few changes at the break to try to shake things up and they appear to have made a difference.
Glenn Middleton and Kevin Trapanovski are on for Jort Van der Sande and David Babunski as the visitors win an early corner.
Jordan Smith in the Hibs goal smacks his head off the post keeping out Emmanuel Adegboyega at close range.
GOAL St Johnstone 0-2 Kilmarnockpublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 3 May
Danny Armstrong (pen)
Lights out for Saints?
It's not even a good penalty from Armstrong. Low, central, and it comes off the legs of Andy Fisher, but it goes in.
Some celebration from Armstrong. He roars at the visiting fans, pumping his arms so much that he almost falls over.
PENALTY to Kilmarnockpublished at 16:11 British Summer Time 3 May
St Johnstone 0-1 Kilmarnock
It's been given! Ian Snedden points to the spot after that challenge from Victor Griffith on Rory McKenzie.
Danny Armstrong to take.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time 3 May
St Johnstone 0-1 Kilmarnock
Two big chances for Saints striker Uche Ikpeazu right at the start of the second half. The first one he totally missed, the second he glanced just wide.
In between them, Rory McKenzie goes down in the penalty box under pressure from Victor Griffith. Referee Ian Snedden has come to the screen...

GREAT SAVE!published at 16:08 British Summer Time 3 May
Ross County 1-1 Heart of Midlothian
Stunning stop from Craig Gordon to deny Ronan Hale a second County goal.
Hearts fail to clear Alex Samuel's ball into the penalty box and it drops for Hale on the volley, but the striker's effort is brilliantly blocked by the veteran goalkeeper's outstretched right arm.
Postpublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 3 May
St Johnstone 0-1 Kilmarnock
Despite the lead, Kilmarnock are making a change at the break. Rory McKenzie is on, replacing Bobby Wales, the young striker who reportedly is leaving for Swansea City this summer.
There's a slight change of shape there as well.
KICK-OFF SECOND HALFpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time 3 May
We are getting under way again around the country.
Still plenty of time for fortunes to change. Stay tuned!
A worldie from Portalespublished at 16:03 British Summer Time 3 May
HT: Dundee 1-0 Motherwell
Dundee are worthy of their lead here, but they'll be sick that a second strike from Antonio Portales was ruled out.
The home side have been full of intent and desire - and, while Motherwell have had their chances, Dundee have wanted it more.
Those strikes from Portales, albeit one was been ruled out, were absolute beauties.

HALF-TIME Brora Rangers 2-1 East Kilbride (agg 3-5)published at 16:03 British Summer Time 3 May
East Kilbride are heading into the Pyramid Play-off final as it stands.
The Lowland League leaders are losing to Highland counterparts Brora but are still two goals clear on aggregate.
HALF-TIME SCORESpublished at 16:01 British Summer Time 3 May
Scottish League 2
If it stays like this, East Fife will face Edinburgh City in the promotion play-off semi-final, with Elgin taking on Annan from League 1.

- Clyde 3-1 Peterhead
- East Fife 1-0 Elgin City
- Forfar Athletic 0-0 Stirling Albion
- Spartans 1-0 Edinburgh City

- Kelty Hearts 2-1 Alloa Athletic
- Montrose 0-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
- Stenhousemuir 1-0 Dumbarton
HALF-TIME Dundee 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 3 May
A controversial end to the first half at Dens Park as Antonio Portales has a beauty of a goal ruled out for offside.
Dundee have grown into the game and a sublime volley from the Mexican is all that separates the sides at the break.
Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer will be relieved to get in at half-time at 1-0.
Are Dundee on course for back-to-back Premiership wins for the first time this season?

Controversy in Paisleypublished at 15:55 British Summer Time 3 May
HT: St Mirren 0-0 Aberdeen
Aberdeen thought they had the opening goal against St Mirren, but it was ruled out for a hand ball by Kevin Nisbet.
Sportsound pundit Leanne Crichton thinks the officials got it wrong. An interesting one to watch on BBC Sportscene's highlights programme later.

HALF-TIME Hibernian 2-0 Dundee Unitedpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 3 May
One of these sides will be delighted to hear the half-time whistle and it's not the hosts. It's been a hugely comfortable first half for David Gray's side, who are probably frustrated not to be further in front.
There's a lot of work to be done from United in the second half if they want to take anything from this game. A big team talk needed from Jim Goodwin.

HALF-TIME St Johnstone 0-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 3 May
An enticing first-half comes to an end and it's Kilmarnock who are in front by a nose.
St Johnstone have done their best to play it out from the back, but it's been when they've gone long to Uche Ikpeazu that they've found the most success.
He's been missing with injury all season, only making his first start today and it's a typical all-action display from the big fella - but no goal or assist yet.
Instead, it was Kilmarnock's young star, David Watson, who has only just come back into the team, who got his name on the scoresheet, lashing in from the edge of the box.
