Motherwell 0-2 Kilmarnock
Aaron Tshibola should've put this game beyond any doubt. He intercepts Alan Power's shot, and has all the time in the world to pick his spot from about eight yards out, but finds the grateful waiting arms of substitute goalkeeper Aaron Chapman.

Motherwell 0-2 Kilmarnock
Motherwell boss Stephen Robinson is going for broke. He's making a TREBLE substitution. Aaron Chapman, the back-up goalkeeper, is on in place of the injured Trevor Carson.
Liam Grimshaw and Robbie Crawford also traipse off, with Jake Carroll and Callum Lang now on.
Will the Christmas Carroll pay dividends for the Steelmen?

Oli Shaw
Hang on a minute. It's a second for Ross County and Oli Shaw sores against his former club - but this goal's all about Jermaine Hylton.
The winger turns his man from Keith Watson's throw-in and pulls the ball back for Shaw to apply the finish.
Shaw keeps his goal celebrations in check. Penny for John Hughes' thoughts against his former club?

Hibernian 0-1 Ross County
Jamie Gullan, Lewis Stevenson and Stephen McGinn have replaced Drey Wright, Josh Doig and Melker Hallberg for Hibs but so far Ross County are not for relinquishing their narrow lead.

Danny Whitehall
Well, that all happened very quickly!
Danny Whitehall was looking to latch on to a flick on in the box, and was pulled down by Mark O'Hara. Referee Nick Walsh dismissed the Motherwell defender for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, and Whitehall stepped up to blast the penalty home.

Motherwell 0-1 Kilmarnock
There's immediate concern for Motherwell as goalkeeper Trevor Carson, making just his second appearance after coming back from a knee injury, is down receiving treatment. He jumped to catch a cross and landed awkwardly.
Fortunately, the Northern Irishman seems like he's shaken it off and can continue.

Hibernian 0-1 Ross County
Melker Hallberg's free-kick is beaten wide by Ross Laidlaw. It was a save you would have expected the Ross County goalkeeper to make but he still had to save it.

Hibernian 0-0 Ross County
Hibs came roaring out of the traps and looked likely to floor Ross County.
The visitors, though, rallied and took the lead against the run of play, courtesy of Harry Paton's strike.
Will both managers be saying: "more of the same, please?"

HALF-TIME - Motherwell 0-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 19:05
Motherwell have carved out a few decent chances, but failed to take any of them and have been suckered by Greg Kiltie's clever goal.
Both teams have been in miserable form, and it's currently Kilmarnock on course to end the year on a high.
