St Johnstone, usually very quiet on these nights, have arranged a loan deal for Clive Smith from Preston North End.  

The 19-year-old is a right-back.

“I’m delighted to bring in a young defender for the rest of the season," says Saints boss Tommy Wright. "It hadn’t been our plan but unfortunately Ally Gilchrist has had a significant setback and will undergo further surgery later this week.

"Having committed Liam Gordon and Aaron Comrie to Peterhead for further experience that leaves me with only six defenders for the rest of the campaign. Clive has come highly recommended and will be a good addition to the squad.”

Dundee United have signed Barnet winger Alex Nicholls on loan until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has made 20 appearances this season in England's League Two, scoring three times.

Nicholls has previously played for Walsall, Northampton Town and Exeter City.

Earlier this evening, Tope Obadeyi had his Tannadice contract cancelled.

Ross County manager Jim McIntyre speaking to BBC Scotland:

"Even in the games we've won in recent weeks we have had calamitous moments that have led to us gifting teams goals, and we've another two tonight. We never played well tonight but we created opportunities. For some reason we were lacking in confidence which is strange considering we've been in really good form and playing well."

McIntyre also confirmed goalscorer Jay McEveley picked up an injury, forcing his substitution at half-time.

Clyde manager Barry Ferguson: "Just getting the win was the important thing. I thought we were magnificent in the first half. We thoroughly deserve to go through.

"I'm delighted for [David Gormley]. I thought he was different class. He was great.

"I thought everybody, to a man, they were great.

"They [Ayr] are a Championship team. They'll be overwhelming favourites. We'll go down and have a go at them."

The 24-year-old midfielder, who has had spells at Livingston, St Mirren and Greenock Morton, has moved on loan from Carlisle United, where he has made just eight appearances this season.

Manager Peter Houston told the his club's website: “I believe I am adding both strength and quality to the squad with the signing of Joe having watched him in various matches over recent years."

Celtic defender Efe Ambrose is edging closer towards a loan move to English Championship side Blackburn Rovers.

Motherwell manager Mark McGhee confirmed to BBC Scotland there is interest in Scott McDonald and that they are hopeful of signing Nadir Ciftci.  

"I thought we were tidy. I feel comfortable that we deserved to win. That's why we're desperate to keep him [Scott McDonald], he leads the line so well. I thought the two of them up front tonight, [McDonald and Moult], they both got a goal, they were both brilliant. It's very important for us we do keep them.

"We're waiting for feedback, we're waiting for calls. [Chief operating officer] Alan Burrows will get them on the way down in the car or I'll get them on the bus. It's not impossible something will happen but there's no certainty about it. I hope that he [McDonald] stays but you never know until the clock ticks past the deadline."

Motherwell move into the Premiership's top six as they beat Ross County to end a run of three games without a win.

Hamilton move three points clear of Premiership bottom side Inverness Caledonian Thistle with victory over the Highlanders.

There are three Premiership games tomorrow and we'll have them all covered on BBC Radio Scotland the BBC Sport website.

Celtic v Aberdeen

Hearts v Rangers

Partick Thistle v St Johnstone

Hamilton manager Martin Canning talking to BBC Sportsound:

"The performance was similar to Saturday but the difference is that we make the most of big moments. That hasn't happened enough this season. If we can continue to capitalise on those moments, then we will move up the table.

"We've got Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle next; those are two massive games. Belief is a massive thing in football and if we can get that belief we can kick on."

ICT manager Richie Foran talking to BBC Sportsound:

"That result puts us into a relegation battle now. Forget about the top six.

"Some of our players don't have the bottle. A few of the boys were hiding and that's disappointing. I told them straight 'I can see who is bottling it, I can see those who don't want the ball'.

"There's a few who can't handle where we are in the league.

"I'm not going to take the full blame for this, the players need to stand up and be counted."

Ten-man Clyde hold on to set up a Scottish Cup visit to Ayr United.

David Gormley scored all of the home side's goals in the first half and Blair Henderson converted two penalties.

That'll do for Hamilton but it just gets worse for Inverness.

Accies claim their third win of the season and move three points clear of the Highlanders at the bottom after a performance of power, prowess and precision.

Caley Thistle have their work cut out to stay in this division.

Motherrwell's chief operating officer Alan Burrows is smiling like a Cheshire cat to my left. Have they secured Nadir Ciftci, retained Scott McDonald or is he simply revelling in what would be a vital win?

Motherwell face Hearts, Aberdeen and Celtic in their next three. A win here is so important. 

Hibernian fans are keen to have Anthony Stokes back at Easter Road.
