Ryan Christie
Ryan Christie is certainly enjoying flag day as he completes a hat-trick for the champions.
It's almost a carbon copy of his opener - this time he swaps passes with Mikey Johnston before unleashing a left-foot drive from 25 yards that goes in off the underside of the bar.

Dundee United 2-1 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Caley Thistle lost Brad McKay 19 minutes into this Championship opener through injury and it looked a bad one.
The defender came crashing down to the ground, landing on his back heavily after jumping for the ball.
After receiving treatment on the pitch for around four minutes, he was stretchered off with his neck in a brace. He’s now gone to hospital for checks.

Ross County 2-0 Hamilton Academical
It's a different Hamilton in this second half in Dingwall and Marios Ogkmpoe is the latest to test Ross Laidlaw with a low shot.
HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:13 British Summer Time 3 August 2019
Hibernian 0-0 St Mirren
Hibs are starting to find their groove.
First, Scott Allan is denied a wonderful opener by the post as his right-foot curler from the left of the box strikes the inside of the upright and bounces agonisingly clear.
Then Joe Newell hits the same post with a header, Flo Kamberi knocks in the rebound, but the offside flag is up.
Much better from the hosts, who were pretty pedestrian in the first half.

Celtic 3-0 St Johnstone
The visitors, who are doing better after changing their formation at half-time, have a pop at goal through Liam Craig, but his effort from more than 25 yards sails well over the bar.
The Perth men are showing a bit more endeavor in the second half, but that wouldn't be hard.

BBC Scotland summariser on SportsoundQuote MessageLivingston have been the better team, but I keep saying it, it's down to the pitch, it's just dry and the ball isn't moving. I think Motherwell have really good players back to front, but they just can't use them today
Good play from Livingston. Lovely slide-rule pass from Steven Lawless and Aymen Souda fires into the side netting.

Ross County 2-0 Hamilton Academical
Hamilton got this slightly delayed second half started but immediately concede possession to County and found themselves on the back foot.
