  2. KICK-OFFpublished at 13:00

    Celtic v Kilmarnock (13:00)

    We're off and running at Celtic Park in the second of this afternoon's three Premiership games.

  3. Saints pressure buildingpublished at 43 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    St Johnstone are enjoying their best spell of the match. David Wotherspoon flicks on a cross into the box but it sails into the grateful arms of Allan McGregor.

    That was poor from Helander. May was using his body to turn him and just put a little boot on it. The Rangers defender has to be stronger there.

  5. Hosts warming to the task...published at 40 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    MIchael O'Halloran's slaloming run takes him to the edge of the Rangers penalty area, the ball is zipping about before Scott Tanser stands up a sumptuous cross into the box, cleared by the visitors.

    How will Rangers respond to that scare? The visitors force a corner, but Connor Goldson can only watch on in horror as his header clears the bar.

    Michael O'Halloran should have found the back of the net but take nothing away from Allan McGregor's save. He did extremely well to make himself big.

  8. GREAT SAVE!published at 34 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor was in inspired form in the second half against Feyenoord and he produces another incredible save to deny Michael O'Halloran.

    Stevie May guides on a long ball into O'Halloran's path, the former Rangers man sees the whites of McGregor's eyes before trying to steer an effort beyond him.

    But the keeper stretches himself, Peter Schmeichel-like, to block the shot and Rangers survive.

  11. Dis-May over flagpublished at 31 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Like a hamster sensing freedom as he scampers off his wheel, St Johnstone striker Stevie May sprints after a long ball played out from defence but once again he's stopped in his tracks by an offside flag.

    If Stevie May was a bit more confident he would have seen the opportunity to take on Filip Helander there because it would have been one-v-one. If you're a striker that's a mouth-watering option for you.

  13. CLOSE!published at 27 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Rangers are getting increasing joy down the right and Sheyi Ojo sends a shot narrowly wide, with St Johnstone keeper Zander Clark glancing anxiously at his far post.

  14. Morelos looks in the moodpublished at 25 mins

    St Johnstone defender Liam Gordon is like a heat-seeking missile whenever Alfredo Morelos is in possession. Gordon gets too tight to the Colombian striker and is penalised for a foul by referee Andrew Dallas.

    Much huffing and puffing in Perth but we're still waiting for a moment of quality to break the deadlock.

  15. Half chance for hosts?published at 24 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Stevie May has a chance to run at the Rangers defence but instead opts for a circuitous route to goal. The ball is eventually played to Matty Kennedy, who crosses into the box but there are no St Johnstone takers.

    That passage of play won't do much for Tommy Wright's mood...

    It remains goalless as we approach the 25-minute mark in Perth.

    St Johnstone don't have control of the game. Rangers have that control in midfield at this moment in time.

    Billy Dodds

    Quote Message

    The key is to stop the Rangers cross and you would think with Michael O'Halloran playing and training with James Tavernier he will know that he has to mark and be withing two yards of him at all times to narrow the angle.

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 18 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Zander Clark is called into action again, this time to push away a Sheyi Ojo drive after the Rangers midfielder takes advantage of a Scott Tanser slip.

    The shot appears to sail towards goal in slow motion, but Clark gets down to push the ball away for a corner. Nothing doing from the subsequent set-piece.

  20. On the Wright path...published at 15 mins

    St Johnstone 0-0 Rangers

    Tommy Wright roars some tactical instructions to his St Johnstone players, clearly unhappy with how his side are coughing up possession with increasing regularity.

    The St Johnstone boss is patrolling his technical area like an angry bear awoken from hibernation and hungry for some decent fare...
