"Ali Crawford sends a stinging shot at Marian Kello as Accies continue to dominate the game. The St Mirren keeper beats the 25-yard effort down with both gloves. The Buddies under the cosh here."

"Despite making nine changes to their team Motherwell have been the sharper over the opening half hour. Looks as if their is a decent crowd in as well. Still 0-0. Gary Fraser shot saved by Motherwell keeper Dan Twardzik the best effort so far."

"Ross County's small band of trusty fans sure do make a din...there must be at least two drums in amongst the 150 or so of the Dingwall men's supporters. A few beach balls bouncing around too.

"A few half chances for either side is all they've had to witness so far; Michael Gardyne's weak shot for the visitors the best opportunity yet."

Partick Thistle have had a couple of efforts at goal through Stephen O'Donnell and Gary Fraser against a much-changed Motherwell side.

Ross County fans lift sheets of paper marked '8' to show appreciation for outgoing captain Richie Brittain.

"Accies the sharper side with more possession in the opening ten minutes. St Mirren on the back foot with slick Accies passing."

Greg Docherty is almost in for Hamilton against St Mirren but he cannot quite latch on to Dougie Imrie's long, raking pass. It would have been some goal had it come off.

Games underway.

Anonymous: "Gutted that it's Richie Brittain's last game at County today. He's been the real driving force behind our success for the past 5 years. All the best in the future Richard."

"I watched a fair bit of [Hibernian v Rangers]. It was a close game. It's 180 minutes of football, you have to take your chances when they come. We'll be ready come the time but we know we need to work extremely hard to beat Rangers."

"Over the last couple of season we've not done as well as we should have done. It's important that we try and freshen things up. The budget isn't massive so players have to move on.

"We can only offer what the club can afford, but he [Alexei Eremenko] is a player I'd love to keep at the club.

"[Manuel Pascali] has had an offer. It's probably not what he's looking for. Like anything else in football, if you're not happy you'll move on. There's players I'd like to keep and there's players that will probably move on, and we'll get a clearer picture of that in the next few days."

New St Mirren manager Ian Murray is at New Douglas Park today to look at his new team and the former Dumbarton boss has just told BBC Scotland there is "no reason" why he and current Buddies boss Gary Teale cannot work together. Murray aims to discuss the situation with Teale soon.

"We weren't in a very clever place. I think on the 15 January we had 12 points so we had to do something to change and particularly it wasn't Jim's team, you've got to give him as much resources as you can and he used it wisely.

"This is our fourth year in the Premier League, and we've got to be a bit smarter, we've got to be a bit more long term, and I think it's a start of another change we've got to make in the club, and just delighted that we're able to participate at the top level.
