A chink of light for Livingston?published at 16:06 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
Celtic 2-1 Livingston

BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic Park
Celtic look to be playing with more energy against Livingston this afternoon, maybe the potential of heading to the top of the table the incentive they need.
They look bright going forward, although at times at the back Celtic have been a bit shaky and Shane Duffy has had to mop things up.
I wonder if the talk in the Livi dressing room was about trying to exploit that.

We're up and running again at McDiarmid Park and the others won't be far behind.

Apart from that brilliance from Lawrence Shankland it's been all St Mirren. Jim Goodwin will be scratching his head wondering how they are behind here.

Once they went behind Celtic started to play with much more energy and pace. Callum McGregor was the one driving them on and he's been involved in both goals. Livingston are still in it but they need to do more with their set pieces.

HALF-TIME Dundee United 1-0 St Mirrenpublished at 15:52 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
A first half that only really got going in the final 15 minutes.
Lawrence Shankland fizzed in a fine first goal of the season, but St Mirren will not be happy at their defending - and it is Dundee United's only real effort on target.
The visitors responded with a Richard Tait header which was well saved by Benjamin Siegrist, while Nicky Clark fluffed a wonderful opportunity to stretch the home lead right on the whistle.

Dundee United 1-0 St Mirren
The game started a little late at Tannadice so we're still going, and it should really be 2-0 to Dundee United.
It's another poor defensive clearance and this time Lawrence Shankland passes to the unmarked Nicky Clark on the edge of the box, but the striker scoops his effort wide.
HALF-TIME Kilmarnock 1-1 Hamiltonpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
An eventful half at Rugby Park.
Killie got off to a perfect start after Chris Burke provided a wonderful assist for Greg Kiltie, but Hakeem Odoffin swiftly equalised from a corner, before Eamonn Brophy saw red for a foul on Scott McMann.
Accies will fancy their chances in the second-half.

HALF-TIME - St Johnstone 0-1 Ross Countypublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
A game with limited goalmouth action, but Iain Vigurs' free-kick has Ross County in front at the break.
St Johnstone are still without a first-half goal in the Premiership this season.

GREAT SAVE!published at 15:46 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
Dundee United 1-0 St Mirren
It's an outstanding save from Benjamin Siegrist, who has to fist away Richard Tait's point-blank header.
St Mirren have responded well to going a goal behind, forcing two corners and getting plenty of balls into the box.

HALF-TIME Celtic 2-1 Livingstonpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
Celtic have the lead at the break after having had the scare of going behind.
The champions responded well to Jason Holt's penalty with Callum McGregor and Ryan Christie's goals but have given up more chances than usual on their own patch.
Livi are still in this as things stand but one more Celtic goal and it will probably be game over.

Parish has been caught in two minds there. He's too bothered about the players running by him rather than just tracking the flight of the ball.

Celtic 2-1 Livingston
Celtic have had a lot of joy on their left-hand side against Livingston but not as much on the right.
Will that open the door for James Forrest to come on in the second half?

GOAL St Johnstone 0-1 Ross Countypublished at 15:42 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
Iain Vigurs
Well, that came from nowhere. Iain Vigurs curls a free-kick in from the right-hand side with his left foot, and Elliot Parish and his defenders are rooted to the spot as the ball creeps into the bottom corner.

The classic 'game of few chances' at McDiarmid Park. Ross Stewart drags a shot wide from the edge of the box for Ross County.

Dundee United have not been at the races but that is a brilliant finish from Shankland. He has no right to score from there and the agility he shows is incredible.

It's a brilliant strike from Lawrence Shankland, who scores his first ever Scottish Premiership goal.
A defensive header falls to the Scotland striker, who, with his back to goal, turns and volleys into the top corner. A special goal.
Ouch!published at 15:35 British Summer Time 19 September 2020
Kilmarnock 1-1 Hamilton
Lovely build-up by Accies culminates with the ball at Marios Ogkmpoe's feet in the box, but his first touch takes the ball yards in front of him and he clumsily fouls Stuart Findlay. Killie players aren't happy, citing Eamonn Brophy's earlier red card, but Ogkmpoe escapes without punishment.

St Johnstone 0-0 Ross County
Ooft, that's a thunderous challenge by Keith Watson, who's only been on the pitch for 10 minutes.
The County substitute takes a heavy touch, chases after the ball and lunges in on Scott Tanser as the St Johnstone full-back beat him to it. Might have been a red on another day, just yellow though.

Dundee United really haven't got going here. I really feel they are missing a trick playing Luke Bolton out of position, they are really lacking his pace in the forward areas. St Mirren have played the better football here.
