By the sounds of it, Lewis Macleod has scored a peach of an overhead kick for Rangers at Livi.
A Jim McAlister shot is palmed down by Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield, who gathers at the second attempt.
BBC Scotland football pundit Willie Miller:
"I think the pace of it (Harkins' shot) took Jamie Langfield by surprise."
Gary Harkins strikes a fantastic drive that beats Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield.
Striker David Goodwillie crosses for Andrew Considine who heads the Dons ahead at Dens.
Stuart in Glasgow texts about Off the Ball: "Listening to Tam and Graham earlier extolling the virtues of DUFC's youth development and the players they've brought thru recently. What about the Killie development in recent years - Craig Bryson, Connor Sammon, Liam Kelly, Chris Johnston, Ross Barbour, Rory McKenzie...in relative terms a great cast list from a provincial team."
Here we go. We're off.
The Thistle and Motherwell players stroll out on to the Maryhill pitch in glorious autumn sunshine. No-one's wearing gloves, as far as I can see.

Can the topsy-turvy Scottish Premiership continue with more shock results today? Share your thoughts with me on the live text commentary.
Thomas Konrad returns to the centre of the Dundee defence following his one-match suspension but skipper Kevin Thomson (calf) and full-back Willie Dyer (knee) are both still missing through injury. For Aberdeen, they make one change from the side which drew with St Mirren. Defender Andrew Considine comes in and out goes winger Johnny Hayes through injury.
Hibs manager Alan Stubbs:
"I look at things day to day. When I was doing the Under 21s at Everton I had my own staff. That's why it was a smooth transition moving. Here it is all about results. I enjoy making decisions. It doesn't faze me. I know if I make a mistake I won't make it the next time. David (Gray) hasn't made it today. He wants to give it a go but it's important David is fit for the next 5, 10 or 20 games."
I'll post the line-ups from Dens Park and McDiarmid Park as soon as I have them confirmed.
Dundee manager Paul Hartley:
"We are sort of down to the bare bones. We have a couple of young lads on the bench but we have a strong starting 11. We want to go into the break on the back of a good result and a good performance. We were really disappointing at Ross County. I have seen Aberdeen about five times this year. They have a good group of players there. We have had a big turnaround in players this season. We've got to keep working hard and keep being positive. Aberdeen are bringing about 4,000 fans down."
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes
"I think a few clubs have improved this year. I think I have a better team and a better squad than last year but it is up to us to go and prove it."
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes
"Johnny Hayes needs to be shut down for 10 days for treatment. There was a lot to like about us the other day. We got ourselves into good areas. Dundee have got good options. They will respect us, as we do them. They have match winners. I don't think they'll be far away from what they normally are (in their team choice). We have got plenty pace."
Hibernian chief executive Leeann Dempster:
"This is a big club, it's a big ship to turn around in a short space of time. I know what the plans are here and the directions we're travelling in - it's a good one. It's not a short-term plan. Let's make sure we get a plan in place that lets us do better than we've done. You've got to be thinking about what's right for the next dozen years or so.
(On signing Leigh Griffiths on loan) "We have to put that one to bed now. We did try but did not get any encouragement."
Tommy Wright makes four changes to his St Johnstone side for the visit of St Mirren as new signing James McFadden is named as a substitute. Simon Lappin, Brian Graham, Scott Brown and Gary Miller come in at the expense of Frazer Wright, Liam Caddis, Gary McDonald and Lee Croft who join former Motherwell forward McFadden, recruited as a free agent this week, among the substitutes.
Buddies boss Tommy Craig keeps the same side which drew 2-2 with Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Tuesday night, with Callum Ball leading the line.
Partick Thistle: Fox, O'Donnell, Balatoni, Seaborne, McMillan, Osman, Bannigan, Lawless, Craigen, Elliot, Doolan. Subs: Stevenson, Gallacher, Carroll, Eccleston, Wilson, Lindsay, McDaid.
Motherwell: Twardzik, Kerr, O'Brien, McManus, Hammell, Law, Lasley, Carswell, Vigurs, Sutton, Ojamaa. Subs: Ramsden, Ainsworth, Nielsen, McHugh, Francis-Angol, Erwin, Cadden.
