Spartans 0-0 Hamilton Accies
Hamilton Accies miss a chance at one end and Spartans look to fashion their own up the other but no joy for either side.
As it stands, a point wouldn't be the worst for Accies who'd move a point clear of their relegation rivals Dundee United.

FT: Celtic 3-0 Partick Thistle
Celtic captain Kelly Clark tells BBC Alba: "It's been a long season, it's getting hot, it's difficult conditions to play in.
"We did our job, we managed to get three goals, they're not the kind of goals we want to score but that doesn't matter.
"I thought the subs came on with energy, it made a difference, the rest of the team felt their energy as well.
"We know what it takes to get over the line and we did it. We knew we had to try and get another couple of goals towards the end because we know Partick Thistle have got a worldie in them.
"If you look too far ahead you'll trip over what's in front of you. Wednesday night is another massive game for us.
"Today is done, we did the job. The minute we walk out of here we immediately need to switch on to Hearts."

Celtic 3-0 Partick Thistle
Kelly Clark's corner once again finds the head of Caitlin Hayes. It's a better effort this time and it falls to the feet of Chloe Craig who clearly wasn't expecting it and can only tap it behind for a goal-kick.

Ceyla Barclais feeds Murphy Agnew who floats a wonderful ball in for Amy Gallacher but she gets a poor connection and send it wide.

Celtic 3-0 Partick Thistle
Almost an instant impact from the subs as Kodie Hay chases down a loose ball in the Celtic half.
She then tries to send one in from distance and Kelsey Daugherty's forced into a brilliant save to tip the ball onto the crossbar.
