GREAT SAVE!published at 19:13 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021
Hamilton Academical 1-0 St Johnstone
Ryan Fulton pulls off a fantastic save to stop Guy Melamed from equalising, diving to his right to keep out the Israeli's header.
Possibly more concerning for the away side than those missed chances is Shaun Rooney going down with a knee problem.
The "Bellshill Cafu", as he is called, is replaced with James Brown.
Beginning to get the feeling this could be Hamilton's night.

Livingston 0-0 Rangers
It's now more than 145 minutes at Tony Macroni Stadium during which Rangers have failed to score against Livingston this season.
It's more than 500 since Livingston found the net against Rangers.
Can either side break that barren spell?
DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 19:07 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021
Livingston 0-0 Rangers
Steven Gerrard is off his feet in the stand in celebration as Rangers find the net.
Connor Goldson heads home as he beats flailing Livingston goalkeeper Max Stryjek to a Borna Barisic free-kick.
However, the assistant's flag is up and it is ruled out, presumably for offside.

After that stormy end to the first half, we are under way again as the respective sides look to inch towards the title, top-six or away from relegation trouble.

Gerrard shown card by refereepublished at 18:53 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021
HT: Livingston 0-0 Rangers
Controversy has followed the final whistle, with Rangers manager Steven Gerrard running on the field to confront referee John Beaton.
The Englishman was either unhappy that his side were not awarded a penalty or that Alfredo Morelos was booked for simulation - or maybe both.
Beaton flashed a yellow card at Gerrard - and a red card followed, presumably also at the former England captain.
HALF-TIME Hamilton Academical 1-0 St Johnstonepublished at 18:50 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021
St Johnstone had dominated most of the first half, but it's Hamilton that lead thanks to that screamer from Ross Callachan.
The away side will feel it's harsh, but this is just what Accies do at this stage of the season.
The game became quite open after the goal, so let's hope for more of the same in the second half.

Rangers haven't troubled Livingston goalkeeper Max Stryjek but still end the first half feeling aggrieved.
The visitors look to be unhappy they did not receive a penalty when Alfredo Morelos went down under a challenge from goalkeeper Max Stryjek.
The striker was booked for simulation by referee John Beaton instead.

Former Scotland midfielder on BBC SportsoundQuote MessageIt falls into the category of ‘is it enough for the player to go down?’, the Rangers penalty appeal. It’s maybe not a penalty, but it was definitely not enough for a yellow card to be shown for diving

Livingston 0-0 Rangers
Rangers are piling on the pressure now and it looks like Scott Arfield is about to find the net before the midfielder screws his shot just wide from 12 yards under pressure from a lunging challenge.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 18:39 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021
Livingston 0-0 Rangers
Big call for a penalty from Rangers as Alfredo Morelos goes down under a challenge from goalkeeper Max Stryjek.
However, referee John Beaton instead books the striker, who looks unfortunate to be shown yellow.
GOAL Hamilton Academical 1-0 St Johnstonepublished at 18:38 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021
Ross Callachan
What a goal that is and what a huge goal that could be for Accies survival chances.
Ross Callachan picks up the ball on the left side of the box and the midfielder curls an absolute peach into the far corner.
If the score stays the way it is, Hamilton jump to 10th place.

Livingston 0-0 Rangers
The game is swinging from end to end and it's Livingston's turn to threaten.
Julien Serrano controls well with his chest and delivers a find cross that finds Scott Robinson toe, but the striker's effort drifts wide of the far post.
