  3. Ross County putting in the extra milespublished at 17:50 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Well, it wasn't a Ross County sports scientist Billy Dodds was speaking to... Manager Stuart Kettlewell reveals that the numbers are up for his squad in terms of kilometres run, but adds that the average age of his team has dropped from last season, which may explain the numbers.

    "We know we're in for a difficult game, he says of tomorrow's meeting with Aberdeen. "But I thoroughly believe in this group of players and we go into it with confidence."

  4. St Mirren 'will turn it around'published at 17:46 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    FT: St Mirren 0-1 Kilmarnock

    St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin: "Back foot in the first half. We didn't get close enough to Kilmarnock, we sat far too deep and we didn't get in their faces enough. The goal from our point of view is really disappointing

    "Second half, we were better. We just didn't do enough. We didn't create enough clear cut chances. We have to do better at those key moments.

    "I've got great belief in this group of players. I know we will turn it around."

  5. 'I can't ask for any more' - Ricepublished at 17:41 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    FT: Hamilton Academical 1-1 Dundee United

    Hamilton head coach Brian Rice: "I can’t ask for any more, after losing an early goal and showing the resilience and determination. The ‘Hamilton spirit’, as we call it, was evident again today.

    "It’s not about the first eleven here, it’s about the full squad and the club in general. The lads throw their bodies on the line, to play for Hamilton that’s what you need to do, that’s non-negotiable."

    It's psychology. The environment is different and it's having an impact. If you are not as engaged, you feel like you are running as hard as you were previously but it's not the case

  7. Killie 'in control from start to finish'published at 17:35 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    FT: St Mirren 0-1 Kilmarnock

    Kilmarnock manager Alex Dyer: "We were in control, we managed the game well, we got out goal and we passed the ball very well. We were in control from start to finish, to be honest.

    "The game plan is to come here and try and win what ever way we can.

    "We've been passing the ball well this season whether we've got good results or not and we believe in what we do so the main thing is to carry on doing that and hopefully the results will come and the last couple of games they have."

    I was speaking to one of the best sport scientists in the game and he was saying at his club the kilometres are down on the GPS. It just shows what fans bring, that energy players get from them

  9. 'You can’t switch off for a second'published at 17:28 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    FT: Hamilton Academical 1-1 Dundee United

    Dundee United manager Mickey Mellon: "You always feel when you’re playing against a battling Hamilton side, with the amount of free kicks given, if you knock off at any time you may give yourself problems.

    "We had chances all the way through until Hamilton equalised to put the game to bed. We weren’t able to do that.

    "You always run the risk. Just from that one moment we haven’t picked up. I think it was Hamilton’s only chance. In the Scottish Premiership you can’t switch off for a second."

  10. Big games to come on Sundaypublished at 17:25 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    No real classics today. Let's hope for a few more thrills and spills tomorrow when the focus switches to the top end of the table.

    Leaders Rangers are away to Motherwell at noon and that's followed by Celtic v Hibs and Ross County v Aberdeen (both at 15:00).

    We'll have all of the action covered as usual.

  11. Thommo not so keen on coachingpublished at 17:18 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    FT: St Mirren 0-1 Kilmarnock

    Michael Stewart then volunteers fellow BBC pundit Steven Thompson as a forwards coach at St Mirren.

    "I don't think so," chuckles Thommo in reply.

    After the first few games, with the players Jim Goodwin signed, it looked like St Mirren were on a solid footing, with a good balance. Bit by bit it has just started to disintegrate and confidence is going to be so low.

    Kilmarnock were extremely comfortable in the first half. It wasn't quite the same in the second half but St Mirren didn't look like scoring at any point

    No shots on target, that tells you everything you need to know about the St Mirren performance. If you're not working the goalkeeper, you're not going to win games of football

  15. Saints fail to find the net againpublished at 17:02 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    FT: Livingston 2-0 St Johnstone

    Livingston are up to double figures for goals scored now, making them the fifth highest scorers in the league.

    It's yet another blank for poor St Johnstone, who have managed just four goals from their nine outings.

    Callum Davidson has his work cut out to find the answers in his first managerial post.

  16. Nothing in the race to the bottompublished at 16:57 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    It was tight at the bottom before we started, with two points separating the bottom four.

    Now it's tighter still, with just one point covering the bottom five.

  17. FULL-TIME St Mirren 0-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    One goal proves to be enough for Kilmarnock with Nicke Kabamba's 28th-minute finish giving them back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

    It's five straight defeats for St Mirren, who have scored just five goals all season and now prop up the table.

  18. FULL-TIME Livingston 2-0 St Johnstonepublished at 16:52 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Two goals inside 60 seconds from Scott Tiffoney and Alan Forrest before half-time are enough to lift Livingston off the bottom. The West Lothian side leap up to ninth.

    St Johnstone have now lost three on the spin without scoring, and only goal difference is keeping them off the foot off the table.

  19. FULL-TIME Hamilton 1-1 Dundee Utdpublished at 16:51 British Summer Time 26 September 2020

    Accies earn their first home point of the season thanks to a cracking diving header from Hakeem Odoffin.

    Lawrence Shankland had knocked Dundee United into an early lead but the visitors were made to pay after failing to extend that advantage.
