Hibs moved into second place last Saturday before Celtic reclaimed that position by winning the following day.

And Hibernian head coach Jack Ross told Sportsound: "It's remiss of us not to acknowledge that. Last Saturday, we enjoyed that feeling.

"We enjoyed the feeling first of all of playing well and winning the game but also having that immediately afterwards to look at the table and see yourself in such a good position.

"That's the prize at stake for us today again and it's a good thing for us to have because it just helps add that bit of real tangible reward for the players."

Dundee United manager Micky Mellon has been speaking Sportsound and was asked about whether his team needs to create more chances.

"That's a myth that I don't understand in football," he said. "Attackers play their part defensively and attacking-wise, players have got to get a hold of the ball so that we can move up the pitch and come and join them.

"The movement's got to be good. They've got a get a hold of it so that we can move up, lay it off and we can come and play higher up the pitch. There's a whole process to it.

"We're continually working on it all the time. We are a really good defensive unit but when we're coming out of that, we've got to be better with the football."

Great to see fans across the country back their teams from their homes safely this festive season.

Although wouldn't like to be about when Lily and Emme spark up the flare in their dad's front room.

Saturday's Scottish League 1 game between Falkirk and Airdrieonians has been postponed until Sunday because of floodlight damage at Falkirk Stadium.

The match was due to kick-off at 15:00 GMT behind closed doors because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

But it will now kick-off less than 24 hours early at 12:00 the following day.

"The postponement is due to structural damage being found on one of the stadium's floodlight towers," Falkirk said in a website statement.

Falkirk lead the third tier by six points from Partick Thistle, with Sunday's visitors 10 points adrift in sixth.

Game of the day in the Championship comes on Tayside as Dundee host high-flying Dunfermline. The visitors can narrow the gap on leaders Hearts to a point with a win, while James McPake's men are in desperate need of three points to get back in the promotion hunt.

While there is rightly a lot of focus on Ibrox today, the meeting in the Highlands this afternoon is a compelling one.

The hosts are anchored at the foot of the table, with Stuart Kettlewell's side bouncing like a bag of cement in the wake of their momentous Scottish League Cup win at Celtic Park.

Brian Rice's Hamilton aren't much better. Just a point better off, their need for points is just as critical.

It's either going to be a 12-12, or a 0-0. Place your bets...

It is fair to say nobody outside of the St Mirren camp saw their dramatic victory over Rangers coming.

The Paisley side triumphed 3-2 in the Scottish League Cup quarter-finals to inflict Rangers' first defeat of the season, but how will Steven Gerrard's side react today?

Well, there's plenty of incentive. A win over Motherwell at Ibrox would send his side 16 points clear of Celtic, although having played three games more.

"I can totally understand the fans' frustrations and shock," Gerrard told the media.

"To be in a bit of shock, to be disappointed and frustrated is pretty normal. It is what it is. It's done now. We can't change it.

"All we can do is control the future and it's our job to get ready for tomorrow's challenge in Motherwell."
