BBC Sport Scotland at Somerset ParkWhat a fabulous start to life back in the Championship for Ayr United at a packed Somerset Park.
Lawrence Shankland up to nine goals for the season and chasing his third hat-trick of the season.
United look like they're loving playing football, with Partick Thistle so far unable to match their energy and zest for Championship life.

BBC Sport Scotland at Hope StadiumReferee Andrew Dallas has jeers from the Accies fans ringing in his ears as he blows for half time before Dougie Imrie has the chance to take a free kick.
A thoroughly entertaining game here, the second half should be interesting.

HT: Kilmarnock 0-0 St Johnstone
John Barnes
BBC Scotland at Rugby ParkIt’s not been the prettiest opening first half of the season with both sides cancelling each other out. A lack of real clear-cut chances has been evident and only one important save has been made by the Saints’ goalkeeper Zander Clark. That’s was from an Alan Power shot from 20 yards after a neat one-two with Lee Erwin.
The biggest applause has come for former manager Bobby Williamson who came on the pitch to make the half time draw. Williamson, who led Killie to the. Scottish cup in 1997, has been battling cancer over the past year.

Jonathan Sutherland
BBC Sport Scotland at the Simple Digital ArenaAll square but entertainment aplenty here. Early goals and chances throughout has helped create a fantastic atmosphere.
Dundee’s new players like Ngwatala and Mendy look full of promise but there is also a real buzz about this St Mirren side. Yes, this looks like a step up for them but there are promising signs from the likes of Willock and Smith.
Open and enterprising, if this is how the Premiership will be this season then it’s absolutely fine with me.

HALF-TIME Hamilton Accies 1-1 Heartspublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 4 August 2018
It's been a ding-dong battle at Hope Stadium and it should be more than just one apiece.
Accies started brightly and deserved their early lead through Mickel Miller.
But Hearts responded strongly and should have added to Peter Haring's quick-fire equaliser.

HALF-TIME Kilmarnock 0-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 4 August 2018
As curtain-raisers go, this has been pretty drab. A lot of hopeful long balls, a lot of bitty midfield play, and precious few flourishes of quality.
Killie have had the better of the contest, particularly in the final 15 minutes of the half, keeping the ball well without doing much to trouble St Johnstone.
The only close call for Tommy Wright's men came when Alan Power played a smart one-two with Lee Erwin on the edge of the box, and the midfielder's powerful drive was tipped clear by Zander Clark.

BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic ParkCeltic totally dominating this game. They’ve been controlled composed and clinical. They’ve also been patient in the face of a Livingston side determined to frustrate. Brendan Rodgers will be pleased with his side’s effort to keep the tempo up despite it all being over as a contest after goals from Tom Rogic and Odsonne Edouard.
What does Livi player-boss Kenny Miller do at the break?

HALF-TIME St Mirren 1-1 Dundeepublished at 15:44 British Summer Time 4 August 2018
Promoted St Mirren certainly holding their own against Dundee.
The Buddies were good value for their early lead but the visitors have also had their chances and just about deserve to be on terms.
Plenty for home manager Alan Stubbs to ponder from his first 45 minutes as a Premiership manager.

Dundee United striker Nicky Clark takes the credit as the ball ends up in the net, although BBC Sportsound pundit Willie Miller thinks a defender may have got the last touch.
The home fans won't care. The Tangerines are up and running.

St Mirren 1-1 Dundee
Cammy Smith is denied by Dundee goalkeeper Jack Hamilton as St Mirren press again in Paisley. The keeper did well to just push that one wide.
