    Ross County 0-1 Hamilton Academical

    Oli Shaw drives into the box and gets a sight of goal, but he can't pull Ross County level - firing into the side netting.

  4. Aribo replaces Kamarapublished at 16:06 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Rangers 0-1 Motherwell

    Rangers manager Steven Gerrard rolls the dice at the break, bringing Joe Aribo into midfield in place of Glen Kamara as he looks to prevent a second defeat in a row for the Premiership leaders.

    Well, what a first 45 minutes we've had around the country, and what a pivotal day it could be at both ends of Scottish Premiership if results stay as they are. However, there's a long way to go, so don't go anywhere.

  8. HALF-TIME St Mirren 1-2 St Johnstonepublished at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    After an uneventful start, this one became chaotic very quickly.

    St Johnstone took the lead through a Stevie May penalty, very nearly saved by Jak Alnwick, but the lead did not last long as the home side equalised through a half-volley from Ethan Erhahon.

    They had barely threatened before that equaliser, and the visitors regained the lead quickly through a superb Scott Tanser strike.

    It's all turned very interesting as Jason Kerr was shown a straight red for a wild challenge just before the break.

    All to play for in the second half, with the visitors down to 10 men.

  9. HALF-TIME Ross County 0-1 Hamilton Academicalpublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Ross County have had the better of the first half, but trail to Ross Callachan's strike.

    The home side are playing at pace but lack any real composure. And at the moment, are looking at being left two points adrift at the bottom of the table.

  10. HALF-TIME Rangers 0-1 Motherwellpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Having not lost this season until Wednesday, Rangers are in danger of losing a second in a row.

    Steven Gerrard's side have barely been out of Motherwell's half, but Callum Lang's sixth-minute opener has the visitors in front.

    The Premiership leaders have had their chances, mainly through Jermain Defoe, but they are looking increasingly desperate in their attempts to break down a packed visiting defence.

  11. HALF-TIME Hibernian 1-0 Dundee Unitedpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Hibernian deservedly in front through Kyle Magennis' goal but Dundee United have come into the game with a couple of openings.

    An interesting second half awaits.

    Ross County 0-1 Hamilton Academical

    County continue to pile the pressure on, but Hamilton goalkeeper Ryan Fulton has little to do as his defence throw themselves in the way of everything.

    Jordan Tillson's shot is blocked, as is Ross Stewart's, as County simply shoot on sight.

  13. More pressure from Hibspublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Hibernian 1-0 Dundee United

    Moments after Joe Newell drags a shot wide, Paul McGinn's delightful pass lets Martin Boyle loose on goal and only an excellent block by Benjamin Siegrist prevents a second Hibs goal.

  14. RED CARD - JASON KERRpublished at 15:47 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    St Mirren 1-2 St Johnstone

    A red card for the St Johnstone defender, for a wild challenge on Ilkay Durmus. It may be slightly harsh, as it appeared Kerr was going for the ball, but it was a strong challenge that referee Steven McLean felt merited a straight red.

    Scott Tanser

    Scott Tanser with a stunning strike from the edge of the box on his right foot to put St Johnstone ahead once more. The ball bobbled through to him, and he opened up his body and struck it low to the far corner.

  16. Accies holding onpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Ross County 0-1 Hamilton Academical

    Almost a bizarre goal for Ross County. An attempted clearance by Hamilton defender Scott McMann is hammered against his own player Hakeem Odoffin and spins towards goal. Fortunately for Accies, it goes wide of the post, though the goalkeeper would have had little chance had it been on target.

    From Iain Vigurs' corner Jordan Tillson has an opportunity, but his deflected shot is saved.

    GOAL ST MIRREN 1-1 St Johnstonepublished at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 19 December 2020

    Ethan Erhahon

    What were we saying about St Mirren barely venturing into the final third? Ethan Erhahon's volley has brought the home side level - he found space in the penalty box after the ball dropped nicely for him, and hits it into the ground and past Zander Clark, who had no chance.

    St Mirren 0-1 St Johnstone

    The masked man, Craig Conway, carves out a good chance for himself, striking from distance, but Jak Alnwick saves well.

    St Johnstone comfortably defending their one goal lead at the moment - the home side have barely ventured into the final third since Stevie May converted a penalty for the visitors.

    To say the visitors are sitting deep as they defend their lead is an understatement.
