    GOAL - Kilmarnock 3-1 Dundeepublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Kenny Miller

    It's a consolation for Dundee as Kirk Broadfoot is unable to cut out a cross and Kenny Miller produces a ruthless finish - his seventh goal in five games.

  2. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:47 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    St Mirren 1-2 Aberdeen

    St Mirren want a penalty, but it looks like Graeme Shinnie just got to the ball ahead of former Dons forward Cammy Smith.

  3. Still all to play forpublished at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    St Mirren 1-2 Aberdeen

    Ryan Edwards fires an ambitious, curling effort at the top corner, but it's comfortable enough for the Dons to deal with.

    It's end-to-end stuff in Paisley. There may well be another goal before the end of the 90 minutes.

    GOAL - St Johnstone 1-2 Motherwellpublished at 16:39 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Jason Kerr

    Now, what have we here? Is there a game on our hands at McDiarmid Park?

    With St Johnstone struggling to trouble Motherwell's goal, a lifeline from nowhere.

    The visitors switch off at a corner kick and, when the ball does arrive in the box, Jason Kerr is unmarked eight yards out to bullet home a header.

    Is there enough time left for St Johnstone?

    Greg Stewart

    Andy Boyle will not want to see that one again. He gives the ball straight to Kilmarnock winger Chris Burke, who tees up Greg Stewart for a simple finish in the box.

    Kilmarnock 2-0 Dundee

    It's becoming a busy day for Dundee goalkeeper Jack Hamilton, who this time blocks Eamonn Brophy's snapshot after Chris Burke drifts too easily past Cammy Kerr.

  8. CLOSE!published at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Kilmarnock 2-0 Dundee

    Kilmarnock very much in the mood now and Eamonn Brophy drags a shot wide.

    The striker's frustrated he did not do better, but he can be pleased with his overall performance this afternoon.

    Jordan Jones is next to go through on the Dundee goal. The winger is pushed in the back by Cammy Kerr after getting the wrong side of the defender.

    Jones has been accused of diving in the past, but this time he stays on his feet to force a save from Jack Hamilton. The referee should have brought it back for a penalty kick.

  9. The door remains closedpublished at 16:32 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    St Johstone 0-2 Motherwell

    Another half chance comes and goes for St Johnstone. This time, it falls for substitute Danny Swanson at the edge of the area.

    The midfielder tries to find a way through a pack of defenders with his shot, but Motherwell clear.

    Time's running out for Saints, but they keep pushing.

  10. goal

    GOAL - Inverness CT 1-1 Dundee Utdpublished at 16:29 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Billy King

    Caley Thistle are the draw kings of the Championship and it could be a familiar story as Billy King brings United level.

  11. Dons find their scoring touchpublished at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    St Mirren 1-2 Aberdeen

    Before this week, Aberdeen had just 17 goals in 15 league games.

    Sam Cosgrove and Stevie May were perhaps the main culprits for that lack of punch up front - with just three goals between them.

    Now the Dons have scored five this week alone, with Cosgrove and May scoring three of them - and Cosgrove also grabbing an assist.

  12. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:28 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Kilmarnock 2-0 Dundee

    Goalkeeper Jack Hamilton denies Greg Stewart a third Kilmarnock goal after the forward gets in behind the Dundee defence.

    GOAL - Kilmarnock 2-0 Dundeepublished at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Genseric Kusunga (own goal)

    Eamonn Brophy drives at the Dundee defence and crosses into the box.

    He was looking for a Killie team-mate, but instead it is Dundee defender Genseric Kusunga who knocks the ball past goalkeeper Jack Hamilton.

    GOAL - St Mirren 1-2 Aberdeenpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Sam Cosgrove

    Andrew Considine heads off the crossbar, but Sam Cosgrove is there for the follow up. His second goal in a week for the Dons.

  16. goal

    GOAL - Partick Thistle 2-2 Alloa Athleticpublished at 16:19 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Dario Zanatta

    Alloa came out fired up after the break and are level as Dario Zanatta fires his fourth goal of the season.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Kilmarnock 1-0 Dundee

    Another decent effort from Eamonn Brophy at a free-kick.

    This time, the Kilmarnock forward's shot is on target, but Dundee goalkeeper Jack Hamilton parries away.

  18. Chance - sort of - missed for Saintspublished at 16:18 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    St Johnstone 0-2 Motherwell

    St Johnstone have been far from their best here. With that in mind, they should really be doing much better with the half-chances when they do present themselves.

    Matty Kennedy's deep cross from the left falls perfectly for David McMillan.

    However, with the ball like a bar of soap, his volley hits the Broxden roundabout.

  19. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    St Mirren 1-1 Aberdeen

    The Dons feel they should have a second penalty as Connor McLennan appears to be bundled over in the box, but the referee is having none of it.

  20. County come-back!published at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 15 December 2018

    Ayr United 3-3 Ross County

    Kenny Crawford
    BBC Sport Scotland at Somerset Park

    A fantastic four minutes for Ross County means this game is in the balance again.

    This is the kind of title tussle we want to see!

    It’s unusual to see Ayr’s defence being this porous.
