We'll have all of the Scottish Premiership action covered across the weekend and we've even got a Friday warm-up act with Raith Rovers welcoming Fife rivals Dunfermline Athletic to Stark's Park in the Championship.

You can watch that on BBC Scotland and on this very website...

Good night.

All of these Thursday games has a knock-on effect on the Scottish Premiership, with Saturday fixtures few and far between.

We've got Celtic v St Mirren and Livingston v Motherwell next up in the top flight, with four games to follow on Sunday.

The Sunday service looks like this: Dundee v Hibernian, Hearts v Aberdeen, Ross County v Rangers & St Johnstone Dundee Utd.

All of the Scottish teams are back in action again next Thursday and all of the play-off ties are in the balance.

Celtic are best placed as they take a 2-0 lead to AZ Alkmaar.

Rangers will fancy their chances of another Europa League group stage adventure even if it wasn't plain sailing tonight.

Conference League representatives St Johnstone have given themselves a great chance of progress with an impressive draw away to LASK in Austria and Aberdeen are just one goal down going into their home leg.

Wouldn't it be great if all four could be involved in group games up until Christmas?

Well, it's not quite what most fans would have expected as they filed into Ibrox earlier this evening, but at least Rangers managed to eke out a lead after playing for so long with 10 men.

John Lundstram picked up a second booking on the 43rd minute and Alfredo Morelos delivered the vital goal.

Deep into stoppage time at Ibrox now...

Another change from Steven Gerrard as Cedric Itten takes over from goalscorer Alfredo Morelos.

James Tavernier set up the goal and now the captain crosses for fellow defender Connor Goldson to go close with a header.

Scott Arfield replaces Joe Aribo in the Rangers midfield for the final 10 minutes.

Rangers will be relieved to be in front but another goal or two would make next week's journey to Armenia much less fraught.

It's hot out in Armenia at this time of year, with temperatures peaking at around 34C in the capital this week.

And now Scott Wright has a go, with his shot from 18 yards rising over the crossbar.

Rangers striker Alfredo threatens twice in quick succession with an effort cleared off the goal-line before he heads wide of the target.

Appeals for a Rangers penalty are waved away as substitute Scott Wright takes a tumble.

Aberdeen boss Stephen Glass is not a happy man.

Not at his side's performance tonight, but at the state of Qarabag's pitch in Baku, which appears to have played a part in a potentially worrying injury for centre-back Andrew Considine.

“I said before the game I didn’t want to use the pitch as an excuse," Glass told the club's website.

"I deliberately didn’t want to talk about it at that point and I didn’t want to detract from the fact that Qarabag are a good team.

“But we’ve seen the reality of it there, it was a disgrace, and it probably resulted in Andy getting injured which is a terrible thing to see happen at this level.

"The game shouldn’t be played on a pitch like that, both teams deserve better. It was a game between two good teams, with good footballers on both sides, and they weren’t given the surface to show their best."

And the action resumes at Ibrox for the second half.

Can 10-man Rangers find a way to take a lead to Armenia next week?

Steven Gerrard does make a change for the second half - and it's a bold one, with Scott Wright replacing Ryan Kent.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard won't be hitting the panic button yet but what are his options off the bench this evening?

Cedric Itten and Scott Wright are the alternatives up front, with Kemar Roofe still suspended.

St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson tells BBC Sportsound that the McDiarmid Park club's draw with LASK in Austria has given them a real chance to make the Europa Conference League group stages.

"It's excellent," said Davidson. "I thought the boys performed unbelievably well.

"I am bit disappointed with the chance we miss before their goal but overall it's a great result. LASK are a good European team.

"All credit to the players. Some of the results LASK have had in the last couple of years have been tremendous.

"But we had a go and went toe-to-toe. It's a great result and the players are a little bit disappointed. But what a result, it's unbelievable.

"We give ourselves a chance. It's a learning curve and another cup final for us next Thursday."

This was not in the script for Rangers. No goals and down a man at the interval.

Still plenty of time, but the Ibrox side will need to do it the hard way.
