    GOAL Motherwell 0-3 Celticpublished at 74 mins

    Callum McGregor

    What a goal. Celtic extend their lead in some style. James Forrest fizzes in a great pass to Callum McGregor following a slick passing move from the visitors.

    The midfielder controls brilliantly before volleying a drive into the top corner beyond the despairing Mark Gillespie.

  3. CLOSE!published at 70 mins

    St Mirren 0-1 Hamilton Academical

    Better from St Mirren, albeit their chance comes from an Accies error.

    Scott McMann lets a harmless cross drift over his head, where Ryan Flynn gallops on to the loose ball and cuts back for Tony Andreu.

    The midfielder's deflected shot loops just over the crossbar.

    Celtic are creating chances at will now, that's about four of five chances they've created in the last five minutes. Motherwell are a little bit all over the place.

    Rangers 1-1 Hibernian

    Ofir Marciano once again denies Alfredo Morelos with a great block, using his feet to keep out a close range effort. From the corner, George Edmundson comes close to a second goal, with his header knocked off the line by Joe Newell.

  8. CLOSE!published at 66 mins

    Ross County 2-0 Livingston

    A superb cross from the left boot of Sean Kelly tees up Billy Mckay for his hat-trick but the Northern Irishman just can't get enough of a connection and the ball zips past Livi's far post.

  9. GREAT SAVE!published at 67 mins

    Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    Motherwell keeper Mark Gillespie is keeping the visitors at bay: firstly saving brilliantly from Callum McGregor and then to deny Odsonne Edouard.

  10. GREAT SAVE!published at 65 mins

    St Mirren 0-1 Hamilton Academical

    St Mirren have been pressing hard for a leveller without creating an awful lot, and they are almost stung at the other end.

    The hosts only half-clear a corner, and Scott McMann launches a fizzing low drive first-time that Vaclav Hladky gets behind well to save.

  11. Aberdeen 0-1 St Johnstonepublished at 65 mins

    There are just some signs Aberdeen are wakening up, there is a bit more urgency about their play, the introduction of Niall McGinn has made a big difference. But having said that, St Johnstone are still looking fairly comfortable, and really sticking to the task in hand.

    Rangers 1-1 Hibernian

    It's all Rangers now as Joe Aribo hooks a shot over the top from close in as a corner kick drops his way.

  13. CLOSE!published at 63 mins

    Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    What a howler for Olivier Ntcham. Brilliant link-up play between Leigh Griffiths and Odsonne Edouard tees up the Frenchman to make it three but instead of picking his spot, the midfielder lashes a wild shot over the bar and into the disbelieving away supporters behind Mark Gillespie's goal.

  14. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 61 mins

    Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    Celtic come within a whisker of scoring a third goal of the night. Odsonne Edouard with some brilliant skill on the left, dinks a brilliant ball into the box but Leigh Griffiths sees his header come back off the bar.

  15. goal

    GOAL Ross County 2-0 Livingstonpublished at 60 mins

    Billy Mckay

    It's a goal against the run of play as Billy Mckay scores his second of the match, rounding keeper Robby McCrorie and slotting home with his left foot - such a confident finish and it has come as Livi looked the more likely team to score.

    Celtic have upped the tempo a little bit in this second half. They got that second, crucial goal and can relax now and move the ball with one and two touch passing and look to their front players to become really active and get this third goal.

  17. Livi push for levellerpublished at 59 mins

    Ross County 1-0 Livingston

    Livi, you suspect, have had a thorough upbraiding by Gary Holt at the interval. They have created two chances so far since the match resumed - a header by Ciaron Brown and a strike from 30 yards by Scott Pittman that cleared the County crossbar by a few feet. The Staggies are under the cosh.

  18. Well pressing to reduce deficitpublished at 58 mins

    Motherwell 0-2 Celtic

    Sherwin Seedorf, on as a Motherwell substitute for Rolando Aarons, fires a shot at goal but it's comfortably saved by Fraser Forster.

    I've been really impressed by Leigh Griffiths, his attitude, his work rate, his link-up play, his intelligence.
