PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:09 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018
Aberdeen 0-0 St Johnstone
Big call for a penalty to St Johnstone.
Shay Logan slides in on Ross Callachan wide on the Saints left and looks to catch the midfielder.
But referee Don Robertson waves away the appeals and suggests the right-back touched the ball away.

Scott Pittman
Declan Gallagher plays a through ball into the path of Scott Pittman, who strikes the ball across goal into the far corner. Simple for Livingston. St Mirren 'keeper Danny Rogers may feel he could have kept that out.

HALF-TIME - Hamilton 0-0 Hibernianpublished at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018
Following a long delay for treatment to Martin Boyle, who was carefully removed on a stretcher, referee Bobby Madden finally blows for half-time.
It's not been much of game, with the visitors rather plodding in their build-up play and Accies rarely putting together any meaningful passing sequences.
James Keatings missed a great close-range chance against his former club, while Stevie Mallan has had a couple of shots for the visitors.
Emerson Hyndman is the replacement for Boyle.

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageCeltic made Kilmarnock look pedestrian once they got that first goal. Two goals from open play, two goals from set pieces, and it could have been so much more. Steve Clarke will have a big big job to do at half-time to stop the flow of this game. It’s as good a performance as I’ve seen from a Celtic team. It’s top drawer stuff. Any team coming up against them will have been blown away today

BBC Sport Scotland at the Tony Macaroni ArenaAlfie Jones’ first ever goal for St Mirren has made the difference here in West Lothian.
Livi goalkeeper Liam Kelly was dismayed at the lack of marking as Jones did the business. Other than the goal, it’s been a game bereft of chances.
CLOSE!published at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018
Hamilton 0-0 Hibernian
The best chance of the game falls to James Keatings six yards out as he meets a great cutback from Mikel Miller but the Accies striker opens up his foot a fraction too much and steers the ball beyond the far post.
That's a bad miss just on the stroke of half time...
HALF-TIME - Hearts 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018
Peter Haring's header is the difference as Hearts lead at the break. They might have had more too, Arnaud Djoum missing two great opportunities. Motherwell have grown into the game but have yet to seriously threaten.

HALF-TIME - Aberdeen 0-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2018
Aberdeen and St Johnstone have scored fewer goals than any of their rivals in the Premiership's top six and it is easy to see why.
Chances have been few and far between - and, when they have presented themselves, both sides have fluffed their lines.
The visitors came closest with a powerful Matty Kennedy shot on the turn that forced a fine save from Joe Lewis.

BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic ParkIt feels like Celtic have crushed a rebellion at half-time here at Celtic Park. So much it seems for the Kilmarnock insurgency, for now.
The champions have shown their strength right from the off. James Forrest fired home from an Emilio Izaguirre cross to make it 1-0, Tom Rogic played in Odsonne Edouard to make it 2-0 and then Mikael Lustig fired home from close range after a Callum McGregor free-kick to make it 3-0.
Ryan Christie has just made it 4-0 with a sublime free-kick. It’s been utter domination, almost like the champions have been keen to put the table toppers in their place. The away side have offered very little. For now the Kilmarnock uprising looks like it has been quelled.

It's turning into a rout at Celtic Park and it's another goal for Ryan Christie - his third in three games.
He steps up to take a free-kick and chips the ball home.

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageSomebody should have been picking up Lustig at that front post. You can't give someone a free opportunity to get their foot on the ball. It was a great ball in by McGregor with pace into that near-post area. Lustig just had to keep his eye on the ball, get contact on the ball, open up his foot
Quote MessageThe defending from that set piece has got to be better from Kilmarnock. Three-nil down after 35 mins. Would you believe it before the game started?
