  1. FULL-TIME Hibernian 2-0 Hamiltonpublished at 16:56 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Hibernian make it four Scottish Premiership wins in a row with victory over Hamilton, who played 78 minutes with 10 men after Jamie Hamilton's red card for a lunge on Martin Boyle.

    Within a minute of that incident, Boyle scored and the winger later had a penalty saved.

    Hibs did not get things all their own way but eventually made the points safe through Josh Doig's first career goal.

    Hibs remain four points clear of Aberdeen in the battle for third place, with Jack Ross' side having a game in hand. Hamilton stay second bottom, one point clear of Ross County, who face Celtic on Sunday.

  2. FULL-TIME Aberdeen 1-0 Kilmarnockpublished at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Aberdeen banish their six-game goal drought to condemn Kilmarnock to a club record eighth successive Scottish Premiership defeat.

    Striker Callum Hendry's first Aberdeen goal - a headed finish moments after replacing the injured Fraser Hornby - finally ends his side's barren run.

    Kilmarnock were much improved after the break, but it's now three defeats on the spin for new boss Tommy Wright.

  3. FULL-TIME Motherwell 0-3 St Johnstonepublished at 16:49 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Well, that was comprehensive. St Johnstone bossed this game from start to finish and leave Fir Park with three thoroughly deserved points.

    Guy Melamed bagged a double - the first, a stunning long-range curler, and the second, from the penalty spot - with Jason Kerr also rasping home.

    They could have scored more, too, against a depleted Motherwell side that looked ragged at the back and utterly toothless up front. The hosts managed a single shot.

    St Johnstone move five points clear of their opponents in eighth place, one behind Dundee United, who play Rangers tomorrow. Motherwell do have a game in hand, and stay ninth, four ahead of Kilmarnock.

  4. FULL-TIME St Mirren 1-1 Livingstonpublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Well, that was a second half to forget.

    In truth, the conditions were grim and the players did well to get a good half out of the game.

    After an entertaining first period produced Conor McCarthy's comical own goal and a stunner from Cammy MacPherson, both St Mirren and Livingston remain where they are in sixth and fifth, respectively, after sharing the spoils in Paisley.

  5. Tired Hamiltonpublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Hibernian 2-0 Hamilton

    Hamilton's busy schedule of games - this is their third away game in two weeks - is taking its toll, as is having to play with 10 men from the 12th minute.

    Hibs are breaking with regularity, but haven't yet found a third goal.

    Into the closing stages now. Any more goals?

  7. CLOSE!published at 16:41 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    St Mirren 1-1 Livingston

    Who would be a goalkeeper on a day like this?

    Julien Serrano's inswinging corner causes all kinds of problems for Jak Alnwick, as the keeper sprawls across goal before watching the ball drop past the far post.

  8. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:40 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Aberdeen 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Almost a clinching goal for the hosts as the ball breaks to Ross McCrorie inside the box and he lashes it against the bar.

  10. Dons looking solidpublished at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Aberdeen 1-0 Kilmarnock

    Aberdeen seem to have weathered the Kilmarnock second-half storm. But having been unaccustomed to protecting a lead in recent weeks, can the Dons see it out for a first win in seven games?

  11. We - sort of - have a second-half chance!published at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    St Mirren 1-1 Livingston

    St Mirren's Kyle McAllister sees a close-range finish blocked superbly before the ball falls for Ilkay Durmus.

    The winger looks to drive the ball into the far post - similar to his goal on Wednesday - but it is blocked well again from the Livi backline.

    Motherwell 0-3 St Johnstone

    It's been a disappointing day for Motherwell manager Graham Alexander against St Johnstone.

    Well's top-six hopes will not end today but they are on course to be seven points off the top half with four games to go.

  14. Second half to forget so far in Paisley...published at 16:35 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    St Mirren 1-1 Livingston

    The wind really is trying its best to ruin this game, to be honest it has got its way in this second half.

    Neither team have created any real openings as Julien Serrano whips a corner into Jak Alnwick's near-post side netting.

    St Mirren 1-1 Livingston

    St Mirren are posing more of a threat now in this second half, but nothing clear cut in terms of chances to report so far from either side.

    Evenly poised heading into the last 20 minutes.

  19. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:23 Greenwich Mean Time 20 February 2021

    Hibernian 1-0 Hamilton

    Another big stop from Hamilton goalkeeper Ryan Fulton, who keeps out Darren McGregor at the back post; an instinctive save that he couldn't have known much about.

    The ball falls kindly to Hibernian's Chris Cadden who cracks a powerful effort on target, but goalkeeper Ryan Fulton manages to block the effort with a superb save.
