Quote MessageYou could see the faces on the St Johnstone board grow longer as that Ross County goal went in. They're trying to get back into the game, but with one win in seven, it's not looking good for them.

Aberdeen 0-0 Hibernian
Aberdeen are certainly throwing their weight around and it's Hibs defender Ryan Porteous' turn to rise clutching a bruising body after a clash with the lump that is Curtis Main. A lot of beef out there...
Hearts 0-0 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock midfielder Alan Power is on the ground and demanding a penalty at Tynecastle but the accused Andy Irving isn't at all impressed and neither is the referee. From first viewing it seems as though there was very little in it.

Quote MessageHearts haven't offered a great deal in the final third. Christophe Berra had the ball there in the left-back area, Ryotaro Meshino wanted in to feet, but Berra kicked it in behind and the crowd weren't too impressed.
Aberdeen 0-0 Hibernian
Hibs win a free-kick 30 yards out and an ambitious long-ranger from Tom James flashes wide. A decent effort, but goalkeeper Joe Lewis had it well covered.
It comes after Dons left-back Greg Leigh somehow escapes a booking after a cynical challenge on Melker Hallberg.
Partick Thistle 0-0 Queen of the South

BBC Sport Scotland at Firhill
Ian McCall is making his second home debut as Jags boss - 2007 was when he started his first stint at the Maryhill club.
The majority of the Thistle fans seem thrilled by his appointment, but Queen of the South are doing their best to spoil the party so far, and nearly went ahead in the first minute through Dan Pybus.

Aberdeen 0-0 Hibernian
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Willie Miller has given Hib's silver-grey away kit the thumbs up. He starts to suggest "if I was a young lad" before the former Aberdeen and Scotland defender finishes with "I wouldn't be buying a Hibs top anyway".

Joe Chalmers
It's a bit of a calamity at the back for St Johnstone. Initially the cross comes in, Saints almost concede an own goal but scramble clear off the line, but the ball gets played back to Joe Chalmers who scores from close range.
Motherwell 0-0 St Mirren
A chance for the visitors, but Jonathan Obika's clipped effort from close range slips just wide.
Heart of Midlothian 0-0 Kilmarnock

Ross County 0-0 St Johnstone
St Johnstone looked fired up for this one as they try to claim their first league win of the season. Scott Tanser has a shot deflected over, while Ross County have had to defend good crosses into the box four times in the opening minutes.
Aberdeen 0-0 Hibernian
First chance at Pittodrie goes to Hibs as Daryl Horgan threads the ball through to Christian Doidge, but Joe Lewis is quick off his line and the goalkeeper blocks with his chest an attempted chip that lacked conviction.
Aberdeen 0-0 Hibernian
Scotland boss Steve Clarke is in the Granite City this afternoon, running an eye over Aberdeen and Hibernian. Of particular interest to Clarke will be Scott McKenna, the Scotland defender making his first outing since a hamstring tear in August.

Quote MessageHearts have stuck with a back-three and it looks as if Ryotaro Meshino and Sean Clare are up top, although they may not be deployed as out-and-out strikers. Aaron Hickey and Jake Mulraney are the wing-backs.
The whistles are blowing around the country. What does the wonderful world of Scottish football have in store for us this afternoon?
Hearts v Kilmarnock (15:00)
Craig Levein's Hearts side are riddled with injuries at the moment and the Tynecastle boss was insistent that no stone has been left unturned in trying to figure out why so many players are unavailable at the moment.
Speaking to BBC Scotland ahead of today's clash with Kilmarnock, Levein explained why injuries - and John Souttar's in particular - have no easy fix.
He said: "We looked at a lot of different things but the stark facts are that the vast majority of our injuries are contact or impact injuries and those are very difficult to guard against. That's the frustrating thing.
"John Souttar, for example, has had an operation and the very experienced surgeon has never seen anything like this injury before. It has caused us great consternation trying to get to the bottom of what the actual problem was.
"There obviously was a problem because he got to a certain stage in his rehab and couldn't get beyond that. We had three scans, an x-ray and three specialists looking at it. It wasn't until the surgeon actually decided to go in to the ankle that he found the problem. And he's never seen it before. So that sums up the problems at the moment. The good thing is that we know what it is and John will be back after the winter break."

Heart of Midlothian v Kilmarnock (15:00)
Hearts have eased the pressure that was piling on manager Craig Levein by going three games without defeat.
But they still have not yet won in the Premiership this season and have only won one of their six home games this season over 90 minutes - beating League Two side Stenhousemuir then needing penalties to oust Aberdeen on their way to the League Cup semi-finals.
Having erased some of the question marks over new manager Angelo Alessio with a four-game unbeaten run, Kilmarnock have now gone three without a win, failing to score in the most recent two 0-0 draws at home.
But Killie are unbeaten in their last four visits to Tynecastle, winning 1-0 there twice last season.
