A quick Motherwell counter-attack sends Devante Cole scampering clear down the left following Liam Polworth's pass.

The striker cuts on to his right foot and tries to curl one into the far corner but fires well wide.

Dundee United 1-0 Ross County

Defender Mark Reynolds requires treatment on a head knock after coming into collision with his goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist. The Dundee United captain is back on his feet and should be able to continue.

Another sweeping move from Dundee United ends with Ian Harkes testing goalkeeper Ross Doohan with a left-foot shot.

The wind is playing absolute havoc. Nathan McGinley's cross from the left almost drops into the net, but goalkeeper Max Stryjek just manages to tip it over the bar.

That was a real look away now moment for the Ross County captain, Iain Vigurs, after a hand ball that definitely falls in to the bizarre category. It effectively handed United the lead and undid all the good the work the Staggies had done up to that point.

It should be 2-0 Dundee United. A terrific move from their own half culminates in Peter Pawlett, Ian Harkes and Lawrence Shankland exchanging passes and Pawlett somehow turns his shot wide.

County are quickly up the other end and Billy Mckay fires straight at goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

Out of nowhere Motherwell are ahead!

Devante Cole wins possession in midfield and sends Callum Lang haring down the left-hand channel.

The striker drops a shoulder to flummox Nicky Devlin then slots a lovely finish through the legs of goalkeeper Max Stryjek at the near post.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas tries a Kemar Roofe special.

The Livingston striker spots goalkeeper Aaron Chapman off his line and shoots from just past the halfway line.

His effort can't match Rangers striker Roofe's Europa League wonder strike though as the ball drifts a couple of yards high and wide.

Penalty to Dundee United. County captain Iain Vigurs fashions to make a clearance but does not throw a kick and the ball bounces up and hits his hand. A nightmare for Vigurs, who also conceded a penalty last weekend.

Ross Stewart rises to head Billy Mckay's cross wide as County continue their positive start at Tannadice.

Moments later Charlie Lakin nods Tom Grivosti's cross into the arms of Dundee United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

Marvin Bartley at his best there. The midfielder spots the danger and makes a terrific block as Ian Polworth pulls the trigger inside Livingston's box, with the ball spinning behind for a corner that comes to nothing.

An early blow for Ross County with Connor Randall, just back from suspension, having to go off injured.

Tom Grivosti, who struggled to recover from his first start last week after a year out through injury, is the man replacing him in the Staggies defence.

The first effort on goal comes from the hosts in windswept West Lothian.

A Josh Mullin corner falls at the feet of Nicky Devlin, but the defender's close-range effort lands in the hands of goalkeeper Aaron Chapman.

County have started well at Tannadice and Billy Mckay wins a free-kick after drawing a foul from Mark Reynolds.

Stephen Kelly takes it, but it's a tame shot into the wall. County could have made more of that situation.
