Caolan Boyd-Munce
St Mirren needed something from somewhere and Caolan Boyd-Munce has provided, finding the net from all of 35 yards.

Dundee United 1-0 St Johnstone
Signs of life from the Saints.
Stephen Duke-McKenna gets into the box and cuts back on to his right, curling his shot an inch or two wide.
Saints lose Mitchellpublished at 15:34 British Summer Time 12 April
Dundee United 1-0 St Johnstone
It's going from bad to worse for St Johnstone. Zach Mitchell, who has become an important part of the Saints defence in recent weeks, is off injured.
Sven Sprangler is on.

Motherwell 0-0 Heart of Midlothian
Calum Macdonald
BBC Scotland at Fir Park
It's rare that both sets of fans at a game can be happy, but good news for both sides as St Mirren go behind in Paisley.
After a bright start, the energy has gone from the game a little, Motherwell are trying to go long to the strikers and Hearts are happy to try to hit on the break.
The longer the game continues at 0-0, the more nervy this will become.
Well boss Michael Wimmer is currently in animated conversation with his bench. I'm not sure how happy he is with how the game is going.

Motherwell 0-0 Heart of Midlothian
There was a brief check on Hearts' Beni Baningime's challenge on fellow midfielder Lennon Miller.
Didn't look like there was anything in it and play gets back under way.

St Mirren 0-1 Ross County
Almost a second for County as Ronan Hale torments Alex Gogic and flashes in a shot that goalkeeper Zach Hemming turns wide.
The striker is certainly in the mood this afternoon.

GOAL Dundee United 1-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:28 British Summer Time 12 April
Emmanuel Adegboyega
Disastrous for St Johnstone, after they give away a daft corner.
Their defending is then statuesque, as Will Ferry's corner is nudged back across goal and defender Emmanuel Adegboyega pokes in at the front post.
Far, far too easy.

PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:27 British Summer Time 12 April
Dundee United 0-0 St Johnstone
St Johnstone's Stephen Duke-McKenna curls a cross in towards Adama Sidibeh, who goes down under light contact from Declan Gallagher.
Never going to get a penalty for that I'm afraid.
GOAL Greenock Morton 0-2 Livingstonpublished at 15:26 British Summer Time 12 April
Scott Pitman
Second-top Livingston are well on their way to a victory that keeps alive their slip hopes of catching Championship leaders Falkirk.

Brian McLauchlin
BBC Scotland at Tannadice
Both teams are having a go here at Tannadice, but there is very little goalmouth action so far. Other than a Will Ferry shot that was just wide, nothing else to report!

Ronan Hale
This was not in the script for St Mirren as they fall behind after simply not clearing their lines.
All the danger stems from Zac Ashworth's cross, from which Connor Randall nods across for Jordan White, whose effort and that of Josh Nisbet are blocked before Ronan Hale lashes the ball past goalkeeper Zach Hemming.

Well lose Balmer to injurypublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 12 April
Motherwell 0-0 Heart of Midlothian
Motherwell's Kofi Balmer, who is only available for today's game after his red card was rescinded, is being subbed off very early on.
He seems to have hurt his ankle as he cleared the ball up the park. John Koutroumbis is on in his place.

Logan Dunachie
Big Logan Dunachie puts Clyde ahead in a vital game at the foot of League 2 between two sides struggling to avoid the Pyramid Play-off.
