    St Johnstone 0-0 Dundee

    Saints striker Chris Kane is on the floor again and picks up a booking for his troubles.

    There's not enough contact on the tackle by Dundee defender Liam Fontaine to warrant a foul and he's given a yellow card for diving.

    GOAL Heart of Midlothian 2-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Stephen Kingsley

    He's done it again!

    After his fine free-kick at Ross County a fortnight ago, Stephen Kingsley has curled in another cracker to put Hearts two up.

    The defender drills the ball goalkeeper's side and Liam Kelly is beaten at his top-right corner.

  4. Postpublished at 15:21 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Dundee United 0-0 Ross County

    Big chance for United.

    A poor pass from the back goes straight to the feet of Ian Harkes and the midfielder races forward unmarked. He plays in winger Ilmari Niskanen, whose shot is straight at goalkeeper Ahsley Maynard-Brewer and County are able to clear the rebound.

    Livingston 0-0 St Mirren

    St Mirren have started to string some passes together and are beginning to dominate the midfield.

    A few balls in behind have been promising, but still no clear cut chances for either side.

  6. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 Dundee

    St Johnstone appeal for a penalty as striker Chris Kane goes down in the box after tangling with Dundee defender Lee Ashcroft.

    Nothing given despite the protests of St Johnstone players.

  7. Postpublished at 15:14 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Dundee United 0-0 Ross County

    A dangerous ball across the box is missed by two United players at both the front and back post.

    The home side have started the better.

  8. Well chasing equaliserpublished at 15:13 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Heart of Midlothian 1-0 Motherwell

    Decent response from the away side as forward Kaiyne Woolery makes room for a cross with a neat bit of skill, but it's cleared away by the home defence.

    Well defender Juhani Ojala then gets up to head down from a corner, but it's also booted away.

    GOAL Stenhousemuir 0-1 Forfar Athleticpublished at 15:12 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Craig Thomson

    Stenhousemuir's problems continue as the side sitting bottom of all four SPFL divisions fall behind to Forfar at home.

  11. goal

    GOAL Peterhead 1-0 Dumbartonpublished at 15:11 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Ryan Conroy

    Second-top Dumbarton's hopes of overtaking Queen's Park in League 1 suffer an early blow as winger Ryan Conroy puts Peterhead ahead.

  12. CLOSE!published at 15:09 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    St Johnstone 0-0 Dundee

    Stevie May goes close to opening the deadlock in the Tayside derby's first big chance.

    St Johnstone's Michael O'Halloran uses his pace on the right and cuts the ball back to his attacking counterpart, but he can only put his shot wide.

    It's been a cagey start otherwise in Perth.

  13. Slow start for both sidespublished at 15:09 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Livingston 0-0 St Mirren

    Both sides are taking their time to warm up on a dreich afternoon at Almondvale.

    St Mirren had one shot fired well-wide by striker Eamonn Brophy and there has been nothing else to speak of so far.

  14. goal

    GOAL Hamilton Academical 1-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistlepublished at 15:05 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Lewis Smith

    Midfielder Lewis Smith gives troubled Accies an early lead against the Championship leaders.

  15. goal

    GOAL Heart of Midlothian 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:04 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Liam Boyce (penalty)

    Early lead for the home side as Liam Boyce sends Liam Kelly the wrong way with a spot kick.

    It was Kelly who tripped the the Hearts striker for the decision to be awarded as Boyce knocked it past the Well keeper.

    On second viewing, the angle is tight and Kelly probably doesn't need to dive in.

    Hearts goal
  16. One team in Dundee?published at 15:02 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Dundee United v Ross County (15:00)

    We only have one team on the pitch at Tannadice. The home side have been out for some time, it's past the kick-off time of 3pm, and there is confusion as to where Ross County are.

    Finally, the visitors makes an appearance.

  17. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:00 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Back to the actual football, we are getting under way around the country.

    Stay with us for that barrage of goals we hope for...

  19. Saints dominant against Dundeepublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    St Johnstone v Dundee (15:00)

    St Johnstone have won each of their last four league meetings with Dundee while also keeping a clean sheet each time.

    Indeed, Dundee have won just one of their last eight league visits to McDiarmid Park - losing six of them. Their last win came back in December 2017.

    Like Ross County, Dundee are searching for their first league win of the season.

  20. Stats favour Buddiespublished at 14:54 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Livingston v St Mirren (15:00)

    St. Mirren avoided defeat in all three of their league meetings with Livingston last season.

    Indeed, Livingston have only kept one clean sheet in their 10 Premiership meetings with St Mirren, a 2-0 victory in August 2018 in their first ever clash in the competition, with St. Mirren scoring at least once in nine consecutive league encounters since.
