  1. Ambrose is a Hibeepublished at 19:07 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2017

    St Mirren v Hibernian (19:45)

    Efe Ambrose makes his Hibs debut after agreeing an emergency loan from Celtic.

    It is the second time this season Neil Lennon has borrowed a player from his former club, with Kris Commons playing a key winter cameo over five games.

    With three central defenders out injured and Darren McGregor suspended at the weekend, Lennon has also drafted in former Motherwell, Falkirk, Dundee United and Ross County man Brian McLean. He's on the bench.

    Gary Irvine returns in place of the injured Adam Eckersley as St Mirren make one change.

  4. Greener grass for Heartspublished at 18:56 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2017

    Hearts v Ross County (19:45)

    Hearts have ripped up the ploughed field that was passing as a pitch and laid some new turf in time for tonight's match.

    The fresh grass looks lush and should make a big improvement to the fare on offer.

    "It's a big investment from the club (£130,000) and a third of it will need to be relaid when they start work on the new main stand," says BBC Sportsound pundit Allan Preston, a former Jambo.

    "The players trained on it yesterday and it looks wonderful. I think Tattie Marshall could go out there and bowl, it's that good."

  5. 'Celtic strive to keep improving'published at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2017

    Inverness CT v Celtic (19:45)

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers talking to BBC Sportsound:

    "The players consistently apply themselves in training and that transfers to games.

    "The mark of a good side is that you are never satisfied and you want to keep on improving. The players always want to learn and that's all you can ask for as a coach.

    "Hopefully our quality and work rate will come through but we know it will be a tough game."

  6. Hibs aim to stretch Championship leadpublished at 18:51 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2017

    St Mirren v HIbernian (19:45)

    There is one Championship match this evening and it's bottom versus top in Paisley.

    St Mirren, eight points adrift, are fighting for their lives and have found some form with three wins in a row in all competitions.

    The Buddies have lost just once in their last seven outings, so confidence shouldn't be a problem in the home dressing room.

    An away win would take Hibs 10 points clear in the race for automatic promotion.

    Neil Lennon's men have only lost two league games but have been stuttering a little with three Championship draws in a row.

  7. Celtic closing in on title alreadypublished at 18:48 Greenwich Mean Time 1 March 2017

    It may only be 1 March but Celtic will have the Premiership title wrapped up in their next three games if they keep doing what they've been doing, which is beating everyone in sight.

    Tonight, Brendan Rodgers' runaway leaders visit the scene of their only domestic slip this season, with Alex Fisher's late header earning Inverness Caley Thistle a point in a 2-2 draw back in September.

    Six other top flight teams are in action, with all the kick-offs at 19:45.
