    St Johnstone v Hibernian (17:30)

    On the return of Scott Allan after health issues, Ross said it is a boost to have him available, adding: "That's very much superseded by the personal side of it. He's had a challenging few months but we've been there a long with him to the point where he's back in the matchday squad. As a person, that's brilliant for him.

    "We might see him on the park today, we might not, but even if we don't it's a big step forward for him."

  4. 'Big day for Hibs' - Rosspublished at 17:20

    St Johnstone v Hibernian (17:30)

    Hibernian head coach Jack Ross says this match is another barometer of the progress they've made this season.

    "We've put big demands on the players in terms of what we want to achieve as a club and in the main they've met them. There have been some bumps along the way, but you're always going to get that unless you're the absolute best in the league.

    "This is a big day for us because if we win it's another step forward again."

  5. Who will win the cup?published at 17:15

    St Johnstone v Hibernian (17:30)

    We've waited more than seven years for neither Celtic nor Rangers to contest a semi-final of a domestic cup competition in Scotland.

    League Cup holders Celtic fell to Ross County, while Rangers lost to St Mirren.

    St Johnstone, Hibernian, St Mirren and Livingston all retain dreams of winning the cup.

    We're preparing for the first semi-final tonight at 17:30, with the Buddies v Livi tomorrow at 16:00.

    It's a first win in four for Aberdeen, who record an impressive victory, courtesy of goals from defensive duo Tommie Hoban and Andrew Considine.

    Motherwell's hopes were not helped by Liam Polworth dismissal, presumably for dissent.

    Goalkeeper Liam Kelly in inspired form, made a string of saves to prevent the margin of victory becoming more emphatic.

    Aberdeen 2-0 Motherwell

    BBC Scotland at Pittodrie

    Aberdeen have been absolutely rampant in this second half. Ten-man Motherwell are getting a real going over, the only surprise is that the hosts haven't scored a few more. They've created enough chances to win several games.

  16. FULL-TIME Rangers 5-0 Ross Countypublished at 16:48

    Rangers celebrated Steven Gerrard's 150th game as manager by stretching their Scottish Premiership lead to 23 points after thumping Ross County.

    Poor marking allowed Ryan Kent and Filip Helander to head the home side into a healthy lead before Joe Aribo's fine finish before half-time.

    Ryan Jack scored his return from injury before Connor Goldson's headed finish.

    They could even afford a missed penalty from James Tavernier as they remain unbeaten in the league this season.

    Motherwell have goalkeeper Liam Kelly to thank for keeping the score down.

    Sam Cosgrove drives forward and is one on one with the goalkeeper, but the Aberdeen striker's shot is poor and 10-man Motherwell are spared conceding a third.

    Yet another goal for Rangers.

    This time it's centre-half Connor Goldson stooping to turn the ball home off head and shoulder, in off the far post following a corner.

    County will want this game done and dusted before further blood-letting and a long journey back up the A9.
