FT: Dundee Utd 2-0 Aberdeen - Dolcek flashes in opener & Esselink heads in second
FT: Falkirk 2-2 Hibernian - Boyle nets penalty after Williams handball & sumptuous McGrath goal doubles lead; McIvor & Henderson haul hosts level
Falkirk 0-1 Hibernian
Kieron Bowie is in the book for a clumsy challenge on Falkirk goalkeeper Scott Bain.
The forward has too much momentum and steps on the toes of Bain just on the edge of the goalkeeper's own box.
Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen
United should be in front.
Zac Sapsford plays Ivan Dolcek clean through, but the Croatian winger shoots straight at goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov.
Sapsford is then booked for a challenge in the build-up, which I don't quite understand...
Falkirk 0-1 Hibernian
I'm a Hibs fan but must say that penalty was harsh. Don't understand the handball rule these days.

A goal was coming, it was inevitable but I didn't think it would come like that.
Hibs didn't start the game well but they had two brilliant chances before the penalty. You can't say they don't deserve the lead. They're starting to be dominant in the centre of the pitch and have threats in the forward areas.

Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen
Aberdeen winger Nicolas Milanovic plays his side into trouble with a dreadful square ball, but his defenders just about bail him out.
Down the other end, Aberdeen test United goalkeeper Yevhen Kucherenko for the first time as Jesper Karlsson shoots from distance.
Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen
Neither Dundee United nor Aberdeen have been able to find a way through yet.

Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian
And Hibs have the chance to lead from the penalty spot.
A volleyed cross came quickly at Ethan Williams and struck his hand.
Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian
Referee Callum Scott has been called over to the monitor to check a possible Ethan Williams handball.
Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen
Zac Sapsford forces a strong save from Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov after some good work from Amar Fatah down the left.
From the resulting corner, Bert Esselink's header flashes just wide.
Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian
Ian McCall
Former Falkirk manager on BBC Sportsound
You feel a Hibs goal is coming. The two midfield players are starting to run the game. It's a critical time for Falkirk.
Hibs are really dominant now. Bowie hasn't got his touch going yet. It feels like a matter of time.
The Scottish Championship teams playing tonight are showing their Premiership counterparts how it's done with three goals so far.
Can the top-flight cohort find an opener?

It should be 1-0 Hibs, that was a magnificent save.
Catastrophic defending from Falkirk.
Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian
That really should have been the opener for Hibs!
Goalkeeper Scott Bain gives the ball away cheaply trying to pass out from his own box. Kieron Bowie latches on to it but Bain gets back to his feet quickly and dives to keep the ball out.
Dunfermline Athletic 0-1 Ayr United
Are Ayr United about to secure their first Scottish Championship win of the season after Mark McKenzie's early opener at Dunfermline Athletic?

St Johnstone are well in control against Airdrieonians.

St Johnstone double their lead through Cheick Diabate and the Perth side are heading eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Championship.
Falkirk 0-0 Hibernian
Lovely link up play from Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie once again.
The pair drive forward and Bowie tees up the Australian winger, whose shot is straight at the Falkirk keeper.

BBC Sport Scotland at Falkirk Stadium
What a fantastic atmosphere inside The Falkirk Stadium and so far the 7,500 have been treated to an end-to-end game.
All we need is a goal!

Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen
Luca Stephenson races to keep a lost cause alive, but goes flying over the advertising boards and takes a nasty tumble.
He's back up, though, and should be okay to continue.
