  1. Saints presspublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    Rangers 1-1 St Johnstone

    St Johnstone started the first half the more positive side and they have replicated that at the start of the second period with Denny Johnstone and Liam Craig troubling the Rangers defence.

  2. Frozen pitch causes call offpublished at 16:15 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    Queen of the South A-A Dundee United

    The game at Palmerston Park was indeed abandoned because of a frozen pitch.

  3. Advantage St Mirren?published at 16:13 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    St Mirren 1-0 Dunfermline Athletic

    With Dundee United's game called off at half-time, St Mirren can go a point clear at the top of the Scottish Championship.

    The Buddies are leading 1-0 at the moment through Cammy Smith.

  4. Kilmarnock 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    Not for the first time today, Jamie MacDonald makes a smart stop to deny the visitors. Alex Fisher does well to turn and fire in a sharp shot but the goalie is down quickly to save and recovers in time to gather in the loose ball.

  5. Queen of the South A-A Dundee Unitedpublished at 16:07 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    The game at Palmerston Park is called off after referee Craig Thomson decides to abandon matters at half-time.

    There had been no scoring and the fixture will have to be rearranged.

    The referee was out checking the artificial pitch at the break and appears to have deemed it unplayable for the second period.

  6. Players not out for second halfpublished at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    HT: Queen of the South 0-0 Dundee United

    Still no players out on the pitch at Palmerston Park.

    Is this game going to be abandoned?

  7. O'Hara a 'huge asset' for Dundeepublished at 16:03 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    Dundee 2-0 Partick Thistle

    BBC Sport Scotland

    Neil McCann was hammering into his players about taking responsibility, and they have responded. This is much more like the Dundee who got that win over Rangers just a few weeks ago.

    You can understand why Mark O'Hara is being linked with other clubs. He gets the second goal and he can be such a wrecking ball - in a good way - in that midfield area with his physicality. Huge asset for Dundee.

  13. HALF-TIME Dundee 2-0 Partick Thistlepublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    Dundee well on top at the break and on course to put a distance of four points between themselves and bottom side Partick Thistle.

    Dougie Imrie's heavily-contested penalty is the difference between the sides at the break.

    It's been a fairly even first half and Chris Eagles has been the brightest star for the visitors, most notably with a dipping half-volley that went narrowly wide.

  15. HALF-TIME Kilmarnock 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    Kilmarnock edging it at the break. As things stand, they will go to within a point of sixth-placed Motherwell.

  16. HALF-TIME Rangers 1-1 St Johnstonepublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 16 December 2017

    All square at the break at Ibrox after St Johnstone's Blair Alston cancelled out Alfredo Morelos' opener for Rangers.

  17. Dundee 2-0 Partick Thistlepublished at 46 mins

    Ryan Edwards should have pulled one back for Thistle.

    Miles Storey gets the ball wide and his cross falls for Edwards inside the area, but he elects not to take a touch and tries to side foot it in first time, and hits the ball off a defender.

    At the other end Dundee's Fassail El Bakhtaoui cuts inside and fires a fizzing shot that goalkeeper Tomas Cerny can't hold, directing it wide for a corner.

    Rangers 1-1 St Johnstone

    Chances at a premium at Ibrox as the first half wears on.

    Last season's meetings between these sides in Glasgow ended in a 1-1 draw and a late 3-2 win for Rangers and it sounds just as tight this afternoon.

    Scott Boyd

    Chris Burke curls a corner right on top of an under pressure Russell Griffiths and the Motherwell goalkeeper does not deal with it at all well. He flaps the ball down to Scott Boyd and the Killie defender is able to ram it in from a tight angle, via a ricochet or two.
