    Arbroath 2-0 Alloa Athletic (Luke Donnelly)

  2. Hosts Liv-ing dangerously

    Motherwell 0-0 Livingston

    Scott Tiffoney is once again at the heart of a Livingston chance as he dances through two or three Motherwell defenders and fires a shot towards goal from a central position on the edge of the box. It bounces wide but the forward looks really sharp today.

  3. CLOSE!

    Motherwell 0-0 Livingston

    Motherwell pull off a superb set-piece move with a corner rolled all the way back to about 10 yards outside the Livingston box, where Liam Donnelly is waiting to fire a low shot right towards goal. It drifts towards the Livingston back post but a defender is on hand to stop it from rolling in to the back of the net.

  4. Aberdeen 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock's makeshift defence looks vulnerable again as Sam Cosgrove breaks down the outside of Niko Hamalainen and a low drive from the striker flashes across the face of goal and just wide.

    Inverness Caledonian Thistle 0-1 Dundee United (Shaun Rooney OG)

  6. Mckay ends barren run

    Hamilton Academical 0-1 Ross County

  9. 'Too easy for Dons'

    Aberdeen 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    Out of nowhere! It looked as though there was no danger at all. Magnificent cross, it was just perfect from Lewis Ferguson, and right in to the back of the net from Curtis Main. An easy goal for Aberdeen - too easy.

  10. CLOSE!

    Hamilton Academical 0-1 Ross County

    Hamilton defender Sam Stubbs rises to meet a Ross Cunningham corner, but it just goes over the bar. The home side have responded well to conceding the early goal.

  12. goal

    GOAL - ABERDEEN 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Curtis Main

    Killie pay for all those absences in central defence as Lewis Ferguson's curling cross to the back post is missed by Gary Dicker and Curtis Main dives full length to head the ball into the corner of the net for his first Aberdeen goal since arriving from Motherwell this summer.

  13. CLOSE!

    Motherwell 0-0 Livingston

    A real chance for Livingston to open the scoring as a backheeled clearance in the Motherwell box lands at the feet of Scott Tiffoney just a few yards out. The forward swings at the ball but it ricochets off at least two Motherwell defenders and goes wide. A little bit of composure would have gone a long way.

  14. Elgin marvels

    They're not hanging about at Borough Briggs. Elgin City already 2-0 up at home to Annan Athletic in League Two.

  15. Cosgrove out to settle score

    Aberdeen v Kilmarnock (15:00)

    Sam Cosgrove has banged in 15 goals in just 18 appearances this season, but has gone two games without scoring.

    It is the Aberdeen striker's joint longest barren run of the campaign, so Killie's makeshift defence best beware the big man on a mission.

    Cosgrove drew a blank at Hamilton on Wednesday night

  16. goal

    GOAL - Hamilton 0-1 ROSS COUNTY

    Billy Mckay

    A nightmare start for Hamilton Accies - Lee Erwin's shot was palmed away by Owain Fon Williams but the defenders from the home side stood and watched as Billy Mckay rushes in and scores from the rebounded ball - his sixth goal of the season and 49th Premiership goal overall.

  17. Ayr fans 'a potent force'

    Ayr United v Partick Thistle (15:00)

    Partick Thistle manager Ian McCall returns to Ayr United for the first time since his departure in September. He says: "It wasn't an easy decision to leave, but Thistle are my club and that's why I went back."

    "We're here to win today and it is going to be a difficult game - when the Somerset Road side get behind Ayr, they're a very potent force."

  18. A bottom-half scrap on the cards

    Hamilton Academical v Ross County (15:00)

    Jonathan Sutherland
    BBC Sport Scotland

    This fixture has gritty written all over it.

    Hamilton with just one league win in their last nine matches. County five matches without a win.

    A real bottom of the table scrap on the cards, but these are the sorts of matches that could really define how this season develops for both clubs. Both sides will fancy their chances, although County thumped Hamilton 3-0 on the opening day up in Dingwall.

  19. 'Motherwell my sole concern' - Robinson

    Motherwell v Livingston (15:00)

    Stephen Robinson, linked with the vacancy at Hearts, tells BBC Sportsound: "Listen, I'm the manager of Motherwell. We've got a massive game here right now. Of course, it's a big club and it will be a attractive to a lot of people. I'm sure they will be inundated with candidates but my sole concern is here at the moment and winning a game today."

    Asked how he would respond if Hearts did make an offer for his services, the Fir Park boss added: "That's a hypothetical question and disrespectful to everyone at Motherwell."

  20. 'No excuses with new training facility'

    Aberdeen v Kilmarnock (15:00)

    Willie Miller
    Former Scotland defender on BBC Radio Scotland

    His name is attached to it [Cormack Park]. I think he's done a fabulous job in raising the funds for it. Back in the day we trained everywhere and anywhere - car parks, the barracks, Seton Park. This new facility is incredible and will hopefully make a difference to the players coming up. As the chairman says, 'There's no excuses now.'
