  1. goal

    GOAL St Mirren 1-2 Livingstonpublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    John Guthrie

    Craig Sibbald fires a free-kick in to the St Mirren box from the centre of the park and John Guthrie simply runs towards goal and heads it in to the back of the net completely unopposed. He won't score an easier goal this season.

  2. HALF-TIME Hearts 0-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:46 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    New era, same old struggles for Hearts. The first 45 minutes of Daniel Stendel's tenure has been a low-key affair.

    The hosts have had no chances of note, while St Johnstone were gifted a glorious one at the other end but Michael O'Halloran saw his effort hacked off the line by Aaron Hickey when he should have scored.

  3. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 15:45 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    St Mirren 1-1 Livingston

    Junior Morias thinks he has his second goal of the game after a fantastic finish but the referee pulls it back for offside. A little too eager from the St Mirren forward...

    Hearts 0-0 St Johnstone

    A short headed pass-back from Michael Smith puts Hearts keeper Bobby Zlamal in bother, but he's able to divert the ball away from the inrushing Michael O'Halloran just in time.

    At the other end, Steven MacLean has a decent shooting chance on the right-hand edge of the box but balloons his effort high and wide.

    Anything that’s been on target for Aberdeen, Luke Southwood is finding something to save it with. The on-loan Reading goalkeeper deserves a lot of credit for his first-half performance

    Ross County 0-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock have been very much second best this afternoon, though Eamonn Brophy manages to find some space and fizzes a shot over the bar.

    Prior to that, Ross County's Ross Stewart plays a one-two with Brian Graham, drives into the box, but is crowded out as he tries to slip the ball into the net.

    Aberdeen 0-0 Hamilton Academical

    Moments after a dangerous free kick flashes across the face of the Dons goal as Accies threaten for the first time, the hosts race up to the other end and James Wilson sets up Niall McGinn for a shot that goalkeeper Luke Southwood saves with his shin. The former Manchester United striker is then unable to find the target on the rebound.

  8. Hearts huff and puff...published at 15:38 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Hearts 0-0 St Johnstone

    After a lively opening, Hearts are struggling to create anything of note and Jamie Walker tries to liven things up with a burst forward and his near-post drive is deflected narrowly wide.

    An underwhelming start to the Daniel Stendel era so far.

    GOAL St Mirren 1-1 Livingstonpublished at 15:34 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Junior Morias

    St Mirren pull a goal back and it comes through the sheer physicality and tenacity of Jonathan Oblika. The forward chases after a speculative through ball and brushes two defenders away to square for Junior Morias to tap into the net from a few yards out.

  11. County come close!published at 15:33 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Ross County 0-0 Kilmarnock

    Two good chances within seconds of each other for Ross County.

    Brian Graham gets up highest to head Josh Mullin's corner at goal, but Laurentiu Branescu is at full stretch to push it away.

    The ball comes back into the box but appears to bounce off Graham with the striker not knowing too much about it, and spins just wide.

    St Mirren 0-1 Livingston

    The conditons certainly a factor here, Livingston benefitting mainly from the swirling wind at their back. A mistake from Ryan Flynn the difference here, failing to deal effectively with a Livi attack and Aymen Souda did brilliantly to feed on the scrap and bend a low shot past Vaclav Hladky.

    The away side looking the more robust and streetwise so far. St Mirren powder puff in attack.

    St Mirren 0-1 Livingston

    First real chance for St Mirren to draw level after a cleared cross lands at the feet of Ilkay Durmus on the edge of the Livingston box. The winger flings a left foot at it but it bounces a few feet wide. Quite an achievement to not even get that on target.

  14. Kilmarnock look for killer passpublished at 15:31 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Ross County 0-0 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock are determined to keep the ball on the deck and pass through Ross County, even when the odds are against them.A wall of dark blue shirts are banked on the edge of the box as Liam Millar attempts to play a one-two with Eamonn Brophy when a pop at goal from distance may have been the better option, but they can't get through.

  15. Dons press for the openerpublished at 15:29 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Aberdeen 0-0 Hamilton Academical

    The chances are coming for the Dons and, as Niall McGinn weaves into the penalty box, his shot is blocked and Ryan Hedges' follow up is straight at goalkeeper Luke Southwood.

    Aberdeen 0-0 Hamilton Academical

    Aberdeen are again unable to make the most of a sight at goal as big Sam Cosgrove rises above his marker to meet a Shay Logan cross but heads a few yards over.

  17. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Hearts 0-0 St Johnstone

    Murray Davidson is perhaps lucky to only get a yellow for a crunching tackle that leaves Hearts midfielder Sean Clare yelping in pain.

    Davidson is just back from suspension after his sending off against Aberdeen.

    Kenny Crawford

    Hamilton Accies forward George Oakley is certainly proving a handful for Aberdeen defender Ash Taylor, who’s twice been bundled off the ball by his fellow Englishman.

  20. CLOSE!published at 15:23 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    St Mirren 0-1 Livingston

    Gary Holt's side almost double their lead with a free kick swung in to the St Mirren box that bounces all the way through the way through the six-yard box, evading the diving Ricki Lamie by mere inches.
