So close to the equaliser for Ross County.

Chris Burke breaks into the box and smashes an effort at goal which is blocked by Craig Gordon. The ball loops up towards goal and looks for a moment as if it will trickle over the line but Gordon is up to gather the loose ball.

Big let off for the champions.

Celtic surging forward again at the start of this second half but as long as County can hold them they'll feel a chance will come.

Gardyne, Boyce and Woods have all gone close when the home side have got forward and they ended the first period on the front foot.

It's far from over.

Really slick build-up play from Celtic with Patrick Roberts at the heart of it. The on-loan Manchester City man clips a ball towards the back post and although Leigh Griffiths climbs highest he can't get enough power in the header to trouble Scott Fox.

Saints are enjoying a good spell at Ibrox as Brian Easton and Liam Craig threaten with shots and Rangers keeper Wes Foderingham needs to look lively to deal with a deflected effort from Danny Swanson.

Celtic have the first sight of goal in the second period but Liam Henderson's effort from 20 yards lacks power and is easily gathered by Scott Fox.

We're off again.

Jimmy from Edinburgh is not happy with the referee in Dingwall.

You would find very few people arguing against the fact that the half-time scoreline is a fair one. Thistle started the better side and apart from the odd moment they have held the upper hand.

Fitting that it was Ade Azeez who scored for the visitors, he has been a constant problem and may have been a factor in Dundee centre-half Kevin Gomis being substituted with 10 minutes left in the half.

Kilmarnock are on song, zipping the ball around confidently, and they lead courtesy of another wonderful strike from Souleymane Coulibaly.

Hearts are a win away from second place but their forwards have struggled this season, as was evidenced by a dreadful early miss from Tony Watt.

Blair Alston opened the scoring with a peach of a strike but it's been pretty much one-way traffic and Rangers managed to find a way past impressive goalkeeper Zander Clark when Joe Garner headed in his second goal for the club since his big-money move from Preston.

The stalemate looks pretty well established at Fir Park. Both sides move the ball crisply around midfield, but neither is making real penetration in the final third. Motherwell have delivered some dangerous crosses and Inverness have had a couple of long-range efforts, but with neither side in command of general play, any breakthrough seems a distant prospect for now. 

Chris Cadden has been quiet for Motherwell, but has the potential to change the flow of the game, while Louis Moult and Ryan Bowman have linked up well on occasion up front. Inverness need more from their three attacking midfielders - Liam Polworth, Aaron Doran and Iain Vigurs

It was a nightmare for the home side as they allowed Patrick Roberts the freedom of Dingwall to saunter through their defence and slide home the opener for Celtic.

The champions have had plenty of possession and have called keeper Scott Fox into action on several occasions, but to County's credit they have responded well and worked their way into the match, creating several good chances of their own.

Jim McIntyre will feel there is something in this for his team but they simply have to score the next goal.

The corner is delivered and Paul Quinn manages to lose his man and get on the end of the cross but gets it all wrong and miscues wide.

Josh Windass powers in a sweet strike but he can't beat in-form Saints keeper Zander Clark, who adds to his list of impressive stops this evening.

County pushing hard as we approach half-time. Michael Gardyne stands up a cross at the back post for Liam Boyce to attack but his header is deflected wide.

So nearly 2-0 to Kilmarnock, who are dominating this game. Souleymane Coulibaly gets his head to a looping cross from Nathan Tyson and bullets it at goalkeeper Jack Hamilton, who gets down low and manages to deflect it clear. It almost squeezed under him...

Celtic can't clear the danger from a cross and Andrew Davies works a yard in the box to curl an effort which sails about a foot over the bar.

Good little spell this for the home side.

Dundee boss Paul Hartley makes the first change with Kostadin Gadzhalov replacing Kevin Gomis in central defence. No obvious sign of the Frenchman being injured but he was having a difficult night against Ade Azeez, the Partick Thistle goalscorer.

The ball breaks to Martin Woods on the edge of the Celtic box, and although it bounces up at an awkward height the County midfielder contorts his body to send a volley towards goal but Craig Gordon is well behind it.

Lovely technique from Woods.

Terrific play from Celtic as Liam Henderson sends Leigh Griffiths away on the left-hand corner of the box. The striker pulls the trigger with a fierce half-volley but Scott Fox makes a superb diving save to turn the ball behind.

The County keeper is earning his corn this evening.
