Ross County 0-0 St Mirren
Oh dear. Ross County are down to nine men.
Ross Draper receives a booking for a foul on Ethan Erhahon, and then is immediately shown a second yellow card for his actions in the aftermath.
All a bit bizarre in Dingwall.

Dundee United 0-1 Motherwell
So close to another goal for the visitors as Callum Lang nips in ahead of goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist at the front post and turns a close-range shot from a tight angle on target. It hits the heel of Liam Smith on the line, who knows nothing about it.
The loose ball is smashed straight at Tony Watt by a panicked defender but the striker can't turn it back as it cannons of his head!

Ross County 0-0 St Mirren
Jim Goodwin's side smell blood against 10-man Ross County here.
They've emerged for the second half full of energy and Marcus Fraser has just come agonisingly close from a volley.
He didn't quite get the connection he wanted on it but that could have easily snuck in.
GOAL Kilmarnock 1-1 Livingstonpublished at 51 mins
Jay-Emmanuel Thomas
Poor defending from Killie gifts the ball to Jay-Emmanuel Thomas, and goalkeeper Danny Rogers should do better with the shot, letting his squirm under the arm. Two minutes after taking the lead, Kilmarnock are pegged back.

BBC Scotland at PittodrieA strange opening 45 minutes. It looked like St Johnstone were going to take a deserved lead into the break. But real drama as the half-time whistle approached, as Aberdeen were given a way back in to the game from the spot.

Image source, BBC SportHALF-TIME Dundee United 0-1 Motherwellpublished at 15:50 Greenwich Mean Time 26 December 2020
Motherwell have been the more menacing side but Tony Watt's headed goal owed much to dozy defending from the hosts at a corner kick.
United haven't offered a great deal in the final third, although it needed a very good save from Trevor Carson to keep out a shot from Jeando Fuchs.
United will need to find at least two goals if they are to end a winless Boxing Day run in the top flight that stretches back to 1996.

HALF-TIME Hamilton 0-0 Celticpublished at 15:49
It's been all Celtic, but Accies make it to the break unscathed.
Leigh Griffiths hit the post with a header and had an early effort saved by Kyle Gourlay, who denied Odsonne Edouard right on half-time.
Hamilton have defended stoutly and will be delighted to still be level.

Hamilton 0-0 Celticpublished at 44 mins
Both sides have a decent dig shortly before half-time as Celtic's David Turnbull sees his effort saved by Kyle Gourlay before Andy Winter thumps one narrowly wide at the other end.
