Dundee 0-0 St Johnstone
Jordan McGhee bursts forward from right-back and flashes the ball across the face of goal. No takers, though.
Decent start by Dundee.

Rangers 0-0 Motherwell
Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday was pointing to...something at Ibrox earlier.
What's today's Motherwell captain pointing to? Answers on a postcard...
Maybe it's the match ball deliver...
Up and running at Dens and Dingwall.
However, there is a solider abseiling at Ibrox with the match ball.
Three o'clock has been and gone, and still no Scottish Premiership games have kicked off.
Grrr.

BBC Scotland at Dens Park
It’s Armed Forces day, and here at Dens Park one thing for sure is, it looks certain to be a real battle.
Tony Docherty says he doesn’t look at the league table as there are “no prizes at the start of March” handed out.
Of course, that's accurate but a win for either side today will surely have a physiological advantage over their opponents for the season run-in.
Saints have brought close to 2,000 to Dens Park so the atmosphere will be electric!
Rangers v Motherwell (15:00)
James Tavernier is just about to make his 500th appearance for Rangers.
A simply sensational return for the skipper.
He's only missed 41 games during his near decade-long spell with the Ibrox club. Meaning he's featured in 92.4% of matches during his time.
At the time of his July 2015 move from Wigan Athletic, the right-back said: "It's a massive club and it was an easy decision for me. I like to get forward and create goals."
He wasn't wrong, as his records over those 10 years show...
Read more about Tavernier's time at Rangers here.

Ian McCall
Former Rangers midfielder on Sportsound
Rangers are going to finish second, so they [the temporary management team] are going to be judged on the two games against Celtic and how they do in the Europa League. If they can win all the other games, which I don't think is really unlikely, they would put themselves in with an opportunity to get it [the post on a permanent basis].
"If Barry Ferguson does well and gets offered the job, I think Billy [Dodds] and Neil [McCann] would want to stay on."

BBC Scotland at Ibrox
There is an undoubted change in mood around this stadium to how it's felt too often for Rangers fans of late.
A lot of negativity seems to have lifted now that Philippe Clement has departed with a lot of goodwill flowing towards Barry Ferguson to steady the ship.
That could all change quickly of course if Motherwell produce the type of result St Mirren and Queens Park pulled off in the previous two fixtures here.
Early days for another new manager in Michael Wimmer but he seems focussed on being positive and trying to play football. It'll be interesting to see what impact he can have on his side in an environment like this.

It's right quiet at BBC Scotland HQ without these two today...
Ross County v Kilmarnock (15:00)
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "We need to find a way to win but we realise how difficult it will be up here.
"At this time of the season, pitches aren't at their best, there's a lot of tension on every game and even more so this season. There's everything to play.
"Defensively we've been strong and unusually, we lost goals midweek that we should be doing better with. Two games that we put a hell of a lot into and came away with nothing.
"If we've got any top six aspirations, this is a game we need to win. Anything other than a win makes it extremely difficult."

BBC Sport Scotland at Somerset Park
Ayr United are going through goalkeepers like there’s no tomorrow.
The Honest Men are starting their fifth different ‘keeper of the season today, and their third in three games.
It’s 20 year-old Josh Clarke, on loan from Celtic. He was at Somerset Park on loan last season for a while.
Robbie Mutch and Harry Stone are both on the bench.
No pressure, Josh!
Dunfermline Athletic v Greenock Morton (15:00)
After last night's game, Livi manager Davie Martindale shared a few frustrations about the Firhill pitch.
You can catch that on the website in the 'must see video' or on our socials.

FT: Partick Thistle 1-1 Livingston
Last night in the Championship, Livingston came from behind to draw with managerless Partick Thistle but missed the chance to move to the top of the Scottish Championship.
Catch the highlights below.
Watch the goals as Thistle and Livingston share points
Ross County v Kilmarnock (15:00)
Ross County manager Don Cowie tells BBC Scotland: "Every week, going into each game that we play, I speak about it being an extremely competitive league.
"We won our previous two games, played really well, and deserved the six points. But we didn't deserve to win on Wednesday, we got what we deserved.
"We only had a short period of time to reflect on it. I said at the start of the season that I wanted to see progress.
"We've finished 11th the last two years, we're ninth as we stand. We know we can get better, but we're in a good place."
Rangers v Motherwell (15:00)
Rangers interim head coach Barry Ferguson tells BBC Scotland: "It's not about me, it's about Rangers starting to get results.
"We've only had a short spell of time but we're ready. The players have certainly responded in the right manner.
"It's been far too easy for teams to come here and stamp their authority on the game. That's needs to totally change. We need to be dominant."
On James Tavernier reaching 500 Rangers games, Ferguson says: "It's an unbelievable achievement. He's been a real leader in the dressing room and he was outstanding when I moved him into central defence against Kilmarnock."
And on the absence of Clinton Nisiala, Ferguson explains: "He's coped with it in a mature fashion, which I like. His attitude has been absolutely spot on."
Barry Ferguson takes charge of Rangers at Ibrox for the first time
Dundee v St Johnstone (15:00)
St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland his side "need to be ready" after Dundee "destroyed" them last time out.
"It's a big game for the fans, it feels like a cup tie.
"Last time they destroyed us so we need to be ready. We need to enjoy it and play our best, otherwise it will be difficult.
"I'm not a betting or gambling man, but I still think we are favourites to go down. We need to win football games and go and try to get the three points because we need them.
"People talk about the pressure, people wrote us off a long time ago, but we've kept our heads up.
"Win or lose today, nothing changes."
Dundee v St Johnstone (15:00)
Dundee manager Tony Docherty tells BBC Scotland: "I knew this was going to be a big week when I read the fixtures at the start of this season.
"My captain's back in Joe Shaughnessy. Jordan McGhee and Simon Murray are in there too, as is Trevor Carson, these are experienced players that can lead those young talented players.
"It's a derby, and it's one of those games where if you look at the position in the league, it's going to be a bit nervy at times.
"There's no league standings on 1 March. No prizes are given out on the 1 March. At the moment it's just important we get back to winning ways and we've got a good opportunity to do that today."
Our reporters round the grounds have been grabbing managers for their pre-match thoughts.
Let's check in with them...
Ross County v Kilmarnock (15:00)
There have been three instances of a side losing a Scottish Premiership game in 2024-25 in which they led by two or more goals.
All three have involved Kilmarnock.
They beat Dundee 3-2 in October, lost 3-2 to Dundee in November, and lost 4-2 to Rangers last time out.
Ross County v Kilmarnock (15:00)
After their 3-1 win over Dundee, Ross County are looking to win back-to-back home games for the first time in the Scottish Premiership this season.
