BBC Scotland at Celtic Park

There was a monumental gap in quality all over the pitch in the Glasgow's east end.

County simply had no answer to Celtic's hunger, skill and ruthlessness. Five goals in the first 40 minutes. Five different goalscorers.

The quality of the fourth and fifth strikes in particular, from Callum McGregor and Adam Idah respectively, mightily impressive.

Quite the statement from the defending champions when you remember manager Brendan Rodgers made six outfield changes to the team that took the field in the Champions League against Club Brugge.

We'll bring you a round-up of the Scottish Cup third round as soon as there are four games into extra time.

A thrilling conclusion at Tannadice - with some lingering questions no doubt for Jim Goodwin about Marcus Fraser's dismissal.

Two second-half goals lift United level on points with third-top Rangers as they condemn St Mirren to a first defeat in five.

Kevin Holt scored and missed successive spot-kicks before Emmanuel Adegboyega poked in a second for Jim Goodwin’s side in injury-time.

Centre-half Fraser was shown a red card for giving away the second penalty - he also was at fault for the first one - but the decision to send him off for his challenge on Louis Moult was certainly be a talking point in the game's aftermath.

Full-time at Fir Park and Hibs are off the bottom of the table.

Goals from Junior Hoilett, Mykola Kuharevich and Josh Campbell earn the visitors their first victory in nine matches.

You can hear head coach David Gray's sigh of relief all the way back to Edinburgh.

Kilmarnock and Dundee share of the spoils in a game that predominantly lacked quality.

Dundee struck first through Lyall Cameron when the midfielder fired a loose ball into the top corner, but Kilmarnock substitute Bobby Wales replied for the hosts, lashing in Kyle Vassell's cut back.

Both sides remain where they are in the league, with Dundee in seventh and Kilmarnock in 10th.

Bobby Wales gets behind the defender and goes one-on-one with the last play of the game... but Jon McCracken saves!

Wales is crouched on his haunches, he knows he's missed the game-winning moment.

Innes Cameron gets in behind and goes down in the box under pressure of Billy Koumetio.

The referee doesn't give a penalty but does point to his to ear... and play goes on.

Killie forward Cameron drops to his knees in disbelief.

Five goals and five points clear.

Celtic extend their lead in relentless fashion as County's away-day woes continue.

All the goals came in the first half, but the game was won in the early stages.

A good old fashioned goalmouth scramble from a corner and Adegboyega pokes it over the line after Ellery Balcombe spilled his initial save.

Saved!

Kevin Holt's second attempt is saved by St Mirren goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe.

The drama...

A lengthy wait to see if VAR will overturn the penalty decision.

And the referee has now been sent to the monitor.

The penalty stands and St Mirren defender Marcus Fraser has been shown a red card as the referee walks back on the field.

It's not entirely clear as to why he's been sent off right now, though.

Moses Ebiye hits the post for Motherwell!

Don't think that would've had any impact on the result anyway.

United striker Louis Moult is brought down in the box and the hosts are awarded another penalty.

It's given away, again, by Marcus Fraser.
