  1. Waiting for Miller time?published at 15:36

    Celtic 0-0 Dundee

    Loads of Celtic chances - Mikey Johnston with the shot off the bar and James Forrest should have scored with a header - but apart from that Dundee will be fairly happy. The longer it stays like this, the longer Kenny Miller - warming the bench, and 39 years of age tomorrow - will fancy his chances of springing off said bench and attempt to become the oldest scorer in Dark Blues history.

  2. GREAT SAVE!published at 34 mins

    Aberdeen 1-0 Hearts

    A well worked free-kick by Hearts bamboozles the Aberdeen defence, and Steven MacLean is set free in the box, but goalkeeper Joe Lewis stands up to the effort and blocks it.

    Still the danger is not over, and Peter Haring cuts back the rebound, but his pass is poor and Aberdeen are able to clear.

  3. CLOSE!published at 34 mins

    Hamilton Accies 0-1 Kilmarnock

    Hamilton seem to have found another gear and they go close again. Mickel Miller finds Aaron McGowan in the box with a sublime outside of the boot pass, he crosses for the onrushing Dougie Imrie to tap in but Daniel Bachmann in the Killie goal just gets to the ball first.

    Motherwell 0-0 St Mirren

    Finally St Mirren come out of their shell with the McGinn brothers combining.

    Stephen's pass in behind the Motherwell defence finds Paul but his cross is cut out by goalkeeper Mark Gillespie.

  5. Eamonn for top spotpublished at 15:33

    Hamilton 0-1 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock, a goal to the good courtesy of Eamonn Brophy, would move level on points with Premiership leaders Celtic should the scores remain the same.

  6. CLOSE!published at 30 mins

    Hamilton Accies 0-1 Kilmarnock

    What a chance for Hamilton to equalise. James Keatings picks the ball up on the edge of the box, slips in Darian MacKinnon but the midfielder shoots straight at Daniel Bachmann.

  7. Goal disallowedpublished at 27 mins

    Aberdeen 1-0 Hearts

    Aberdeen thought they had a second goal, as a cross from Shay Logan from the right dips into the net, but Lewis Ferguson is adjudged to have nudged Hearts goalkeeper Colin Doyle out of the way of the ball and referee John Beaton rules it out.

    Young Mikey Johnston in that centre forward position is making some nice little runs. Trying to get in behind. A couple of times now he's got in and down the side of the centre-halves. That's what you've got to do when you're not a big guy. You've got to make darting runs.

  10. CLOSE!published at 26 mins

    Hibernian 0-0 Livingston

    The visitors are forced to make a change as Scott Robinson is replaced by fellow midfielder Nicky Cadden.

    Another decent chance for Hibs as the ball breaks into the path of Oli Shaw on the edge of the box but the striker's shot on the turn is straight at Liam Kelly. From the resulting corner, Darren McGregor heads just wide.

    That’s Tom Walsh’s eighth goal of the season and it was a well worked strike. George Oakley headed down to Liam Polworth, whose cushioned pass through the middle was duly despatched by the in-form Walsh.

  12. CLOSE!published at 24 mins

    Hamilton Accies 0-1 Kilmarnock

    Jordan Jones is given the freedom of New Douglas Park to drive at the Hamilton back four and have a shot, fortunately for Accies, goalkeeper Gary Woods manages to beat it away.

    Aberdeen 1-0 Hearts

    AFCHereWeGo: Sam Cosgrove is the first Aberdeen player to score in four consecutuve games since Adam Rooney in December 2015.

    The first to do it all from non-penalty goals since Niall McGinn in September/October 2012.

    Hibernian 0-0 Livingston

    Suddenly Martin Boyle finds himself in wide open space on the right as Emerson Hyndman picks out the Hibs wing-back. He takes a touch and has a blast with an angled strike, drawing a good fingertip save from Liam Kelly.

  16. Celtic pressing for openerpublished at 15:23

    Celtic 0-0 Dundee

    Jonathan Sutherland
    BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic Park

    Celtic and Dundee may be poles apart in the league but formation-wise it’s actually fairly similar from both sides today. Essential 4-5-1, but clearly Celtic much more often on the front foot with James Forrest cutting in from the right hand side, to almost become a second striker at times to Mikey Johnston.

    Dundee have been fairly solid so far after a flurry of Celtic chances - but the danger is always there from the champions, as Mikey Johnston hits the bar.

  17. Accies respond?published at 21 mins

    Hamilton Accies 0-1 Kilmarnock

    A bit of individual brilliance from full-back Aaron McGowan finally creates something for Hamilton. He powers into the box and is set to unleash a shot before a perfectly timed sliding challenge denies him.

  18. Composure needed at Fir Parkpublished at 20 mins

    Motherwell 0-0 St Mirren

    Someone really needs to put their foot on the ball and take charge of proceedings at Fir Park. It's back and forth, mainly towards the St Mirren goal, but Motherwell have so far been unable to carve out genuine chances.

  19. Dons on the front footpublished at 19 mins

    Aberdeen 1-0 Hearts

    Aberdeen are keeping the Hearts defence busy. Max Lowe has a shot blocked by the defence and Niall McGinn shoots over from close range, then cracks a lazer at goal that Hearts debutant Colin Doyle has to hold.

    Stevie May looks like a different player from the one who has toiled for so long at Aberdeen. He is playing with a confidence and swagger, and his link-up play has been terrific so far, having already provided the assist for Sam Cosgrove's goal.

  20. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 17 mins

    Celtic 0-0 Dundee

    Celtic continue to press but have yet to break the deadlock at Celtic Park. Mikey Johnston is the latest to threaten, only to see his rasping effort rattle the crossbar.

    A reprieve for Jim McIntyre's troops.
