  1. HALF-TIME Ayr United 1-2 Hamilton Academicalpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 17 August

    Championship leaders Ayr were flying early on thanks to Jamie Murhpy's close-range opener, but Accies produced an impressive first-half come back.

    Oli Shaw's equaliser was followed up by Jamie Barjonas' stellar effort to put the visitors ahead at the break.

  2. HALF-TIME Aberdeen 0-0 Queen's Parkpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 17 August

    Aberdeen have certainly had the better of it, but they've been unable to find a way past Calum Ferrie so far.

    The Queen's Park goalkeeper has made save after save, denying a few brilliant efforts.

    The visitors have had a few chances themselves - Zak Rudden with the best of them - and will be delighted to go in level.

  3. HALF-TIME Dundee 2-0 Airdrieonianspublished at 15:50 British Summer Time 17 August

    The top-flight side are a goal to the good at the interval thanks to the impressive Seb Palmer-Houlden's fifth strike of the season and a Jordan McGhee header.

    If they see this game out, Tony Docherty's side will be on a run of seven games unbeaten, with only one draw in that run so far this season.

  4. HALF-TIME The Spartans 0-0 Ross Countypublished at 15:49 British Summer Time 17 August

    Goalless at the break in Edinburgh.

    The hosts have had the better chances - with Cammy Russell and Kieran Watson both coming close - as County have laboured to create a handful of half-chances against their fourth-tier opposition.

    A cup upset is still very much on the cards at Ainslie Park.

  5. HALF-TIME Falkirk 0-0 Heart of Midlothianpublished at 15:48 British Summer Time 17 August

    How this game is still 0-0 is a mystery.

    Hearts have had a host of chances and Falkirk could well have scored themselves.

    The Spartans 0-0 Ross County

    County midfielder Noah Chilvers forces an outstretched stop from Spartans goalkeeper Jacques Heraghty.

    A blatant foul from the resulting corner halts any chance of an opener from the visitors.

    Aberdeen 0-0 Queen's Park

    Jack MacKenzie is slipped into the box and he fires a shot towards the front post, but Calum Ferrie denies him.

    The Spiders' goalkeeper has done very well so far this afternoon.

  8. YELLOW CARDSpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 17 August

    Falkirk 0-0 Heart of Midlothian

    It's all getting ill-tempered at the Falkirk Stadium,

    Brad Spencer trips Kenneth Vargas and the Hearts striker reacts by pushing the Falkirk midfielder to the ground. Yellow cards for both.

    Jordan McGhee climbs to win a header from a corner and powers it past Kieran Wright in the Airdrieonians goal.

    The Spartans 0-0 Ross County

    Another promising Spartans attack just falls short as Cammy Russell can't pick out Blair Henderson in the mixer.

    County are pushing more bodies forward in an attempt to break the deadlock, which is subsequently allowing the hosts more space to exploit on the counter.

  11. GREAT SAVES!published at 15:43 British Summer Time 17 August

    Falkirk 0-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Almost the opener for Hearts as Blair Spittal volleys well from the left edge of the six-yard box, but it's a fine save from goalkeeper Nicky Hogarth.

    Falkirk break and Ross MacIver is in behind the Hearts defence only to be denied by goalkeeper Craig Gordon.

    Jamie Barjonas

    Just like that, Accies have turned it around and are ahead in Ayrshire.

    Midfielder Jamie Barjonas picks it up on the left-hand side, bursts past Frankie Musonda and completes his side's first-half comeback.

  13. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:40 British Summer Time 17 August

    Aberdeen 0-0 Queen's Park

    That is an incredible save.

    Jack Milne whips a cross on to the head of Pape Gueye, the striker directs his header straight towards the top corner, but goalkeeper Calum Ferrie somehow tips it over the bar.

    Aberdeen 0-0 Queen's Park

    A yellow card for Queen's Park defender Josh Scott as he scythes down Shayden Morris just outside the box.

    Graeme Shinnie will deliver the free-kick. The midfielder fires a curled cross to the front post, but it's a strong punch from goalkeeper Calum Ferrie to clear.

  15. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 15:38 British Summer Time 17 August

    Falkirk 0-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Kenneth Vargas and Falkirk defender Sean Mackie come into collision again, but this time it's accidental. The striker beats the turf in frustration and has a wound treated on the touchline.

    Falkirk 0-0 Heart of Midlothian

    Liam Boyce gets into an advanced position for Hearts and pulls a low ball across the face of the Falkirk goal, but there are no takers.

    The Bairns eventually clear their lines and mount their own attack, but they themselves lack accuracy in the final third.

    End-to-end now...

    GOAL Ayr United 1-1 HAMILTON ACADEMICALpublished at 15:32 British Summer Time 17 August

    Oli Shaw

    Former Kilmarnock striker Oli Shaw will enjoy scoring at Somerset Park again.

    An initial attempt is blocked on the line, but Shaw lifts it into the top corner with his follow-up strike.

    Aberdeen 0-0 Queen's Park

    Almost at the half-hour mark and Queen's Park are still in this.

    Uncertain defending allows Jack Turner to drive a low effort at goal, but home goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov is down well to save.

  19. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 17 August

    The Spartans 0-0 Ross County

    County striker Jordan White has the ball in the back of the net, but the offside flag is up.

    Moments before, Spartans defender Kieran Watson went into the book for a cynical foul inside his own team's half.
