Maurice Ross, on the coaching staff at Fir Park, is seated up in the main stand here, but he’s up and down the stairs constantly passing on messages to manager Stephen Robinson in the dugout.

He’s obviously seeing plenty from his vantage point and he's getting a good work out too.

What a chance for St Mirren to double their lead.

Yet again the ball breaks for Jon Obika in the box, his knockdown is met by Junior Morias but this time Ross Laidlaw gets out quickly to make the save.

Ricki Lamie beats his man out on the left and clips over a beauty of a cross for David Turnbull to attack. The Motherwell midfielder tenses his neck muscles and nods a powerful effort that looks like it's going to defeat Ryan Fulton but somehow the Hamilton goalkeeper stretches to turn it wide.

Filip Helander heads Borna Barisic's corner over as Rangers threaten again.

Ryan Kent twists and turns on the edge of the Kilmarnock box and his curling shot is beaten out by Danny Rogers.

The Rangers pressure is building and Kent is the man leading the charge.

Hamilton boss Brian Rice makes a change. It's hard to tell if it's a tactical switch or one brought on by injury. Lewis Smith on for Justin Johnson, who trudges round the edge of the pitch back to the dugouts.

Ryan Fulton leaps to his right to turn David Turnbull's dipping, bouncing shot to safety. You get the feeling that Accies will be punished if they continue to allow Turnbull space to shoot.

So close for County!

Harry Paton floats a corner to the far post which finds Ross Stewart, but the former St Mirren man's looping header back across goal hits the bar and goes over.

Best chance of the game so far as Ryan Kent latches on to a long James Tavernier ball but Aaron McGowan blocks the winger's shot as he tries to slip it past goalkeeper Danny Rogers.

Mark O'Hara gets the ball out from under his feet and arrows a shot at Ryan Fulton's Hamilton goal. However, Hakeem Odoffin slides in to make a brave block and diverts the ball away from the target.

A first real chance for the visitors and it falls for Billy Mckay.

Michael Gardyne does really well down the right and whips a superb ball into the box. Mckay rises highest but can't direct his header on target.

St Mirren 1-0 Ross County

Coll Donaldson has taken a sore one after a crunching tackle from Nathan Sheron on the edge of the County box.

The visiting centre-back is going to have to be replaced by Keith Watson.

Sherwin Seedorf shows a great turn of pace to take possession of the ball and drive into the Hamilton box, leaving a red and white blur in his wake - his shot is saved by Ryan Fulton.

Jon Obika's strike in Paisley is the first goal of the afternoon.

Where will the next come from?

More Rangers pressure and Brandon Barker has their best effort so far with a shot that stings the palms of Danny Rogers.

What a brilliant interception by Alan Campbell. The Motherwell midfielder waited and waited before stealing the ball off the toe of the rapidly advancing Justin Johnson in the home box.

At the other end, David Turnbull flashes a shot across the face of the Hamilton goal.

Cedric Itten has been waiting for a chance to make his mark in a Rangers jersey and when it arrives as the ball falls to him in the box, he cannot keep his effort down.

Motherwell defender Declan Gallagher makes sure his goalkeeper is on his toes as he opts to play a high ball back to Trevor Carson. Marios Ogkmpoe sprints towards the home goal with his eye on the ball and is narrowly beaten in the air as Carson heads it clear. That was a scary moment for the 'Well duo.

At the other end, Sherwin Seedorf curls in an inviting cross but Hamilton goalie Ryan Fulton leaps to clutch it before any Motherwell player arrives.

Rangers are still coming to terms with their new attacking personnel and Kilmarnock are cutting off space on the edge of their own box.

Ryan Jack strikes from 20 yards and Danny Rogers gets down to make the save.
