GOOD SAVEpublished at 16:16 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2019
Hibernian 2-0 Hamilton
Chances at both ends at Easter Road.
First Hibs, with Florian Kamberi controlling Daryl Horgan's cross well and getting a shot away, but Aaron McGowan is there to block it.
Then Mickel Miller finds fellow Accies striker David McMillan, whose deflected shot is palmed away by Ofir Marciano.

Aberdeen 1-1 St Mirren
A cross from Cameron MacPherson finds Brad Lyons free in the box but his header slides centimetres past the post. Big opportunity for St Mirren.

Rangers 0-0 St Johnstone
Rangers are pressing early in the second half and, when former Ibrox goalkeeper Cammy Bell pushes clear a Daniel Candeias cross, Jason Kerr has to clear in front of goal from Jermain Defoe.

Hibernian 2-0 Hamilton
Signs of life from Accies, who have been a muted attacking force until now.
Mickel Miller, cuts in from the right onto his left foot, but his curling effort flies narrowly over the bar.

Nothing has changed from Hamilton. They're sticking with the diamond which creates loads of space out wide for Hibs, who are still in control.

Hibernian 2-0 Hamilton
Hibs close to a third goal after a lovely attack. The busy Daryl Horgan plays in David Gray down the right, and the captain's incisive, low cross eludes Florian Kamberi before Accies defender Ziggy Gordon slashes it over the bar from inside the six yard box.

A pretty decent, well-contested first half has been completely over-shadowed by that serious injury to Tommie Hoban. Pittidrie is rather subdued as Craig Thomson brings the 10-and-a-half minutes of injury time to a close. Aberdeen came to life just before the injury and should be ahead, but for a glaring miss by Niall McGinn.

HT: Morton 0-0 Ayr
Kenny Crawford
BBC Sport Scotland at Cappielow
It’s been an interesting enough battle so far and Ayr United have edged it in terms of clear-cut chances. Morton goalkeeper Robby McCrorie has had to be on his toes to deny Michael Moffat and Andy Murdoch.
Morton’s best moment started with an excellent piece of distribution by on-loan Rangers man McCrorie - his pinpoint throw setting off a nice passing move involving Jim McAlister and Greg Killie, before Charlie Telfer’s shot was blocked.

Dundee have to get more width in their side. Scott Wright plays on the left hand side. I would like to see him play as an out-and-out winger to really stretch that back three. It's been very, very frustrating for Dundee

Hibs are in control. Their first goal came in 17 minutes and the second goal was a needless penalty, a stupid challenge. Marc McNulty steps up and sends the keeper the wrong way. Hamilton’s diamond in midfield is not working.

HALF-TIME - Aberdeen 1-1 St Mirrenpublished at 15:56 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2019
A lively 45 minutes at Pittodrie. Duckens Nazon stroked home a penalty to give the visitors the lead after Sam Cosgrove hauled down Paul McGinn.
Aberdeen have created plenty though, and Lewis Ferguson nodded the equaliser just after the half hour mark. The action has been slightly overshadowed by a serious injury to Aberdeen defender Tommie Hoban. He had to be stretchered off with what looks like a knee problem.

HALF-TIME Rangers 0-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2019
Rangers struggled to create chances as they were held to a goalless draw by Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup last weekend and it is the same story today.
With top scorer Alfredo Morelos missing through suspension, they have only forced one save from Cammy Bell - and that was a Connor Goldson straight into the former Ibrox goalkeeper's arms.
Saints have had their chances and Wes Foderingham, deputising for the banned Allan McGregor, did well to deny Chris Kane as the striker broke clear.

I’m sorry to say that I could hear Tommie Hoban’s screams of agony as he went down unchallenged, seemingly with a knee injury. After lengthy treatment, he’s being carried off but that looks like a bad one for the defender. The fans round the ground rise in applause as he’s taken off. Stephen Gleeson is his replacement.
HALF-TIME - Hibernian 2-0 Hamiltonpublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2019
A comfortable first half for Hibs under new head coach Paul Heckingbottom.
Florian Kamberi claimed a touch on Daryl Horgan's cross for the opener, and Marc McNulty's penalty has put them well on course for a much-needed three points.

Livingston have the advantage at the break despite having a man sent off.
