Rangers 1-0 St Mirren
Rangers are showing no signs of slowing down.
This time Ryan Kent jinks off the left and lets fly from range, but the shot drifts about a yard from goal.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst's league leaders look lightning in attack.
Dundee United 0-0 Hibernian
Only the outstretched leg of Charlie Mulgrew prevents Martin Boyle from having a tap in in the six yard box.
Josh Doig with the break and cross down the left again for Hibs. A tentative opening at Tannadice overall.
Hearts 1-0 Ross County
Barrie McKay has an effort deflected wide as Hearts seek a first home win over Ross County since 2015.
But the Staggies go in search of an equaliser and Dominic Samuel gets his head to a free-kick but heads it wide.
Kevin van Veen
Alan Forrest pulls down Nathan McGinley as Livigston try to force a counter attack.
Kevin van Veen steps up for the free-kick 20-yards from goal. Max Stryjek doesn't even move between the posts as the ball flies into the top corner.
Scott Wright
The champions are rewarded for their early pressure.
Scott Wright gets his head to a corner, but Jak Alnwick can't claw the ball off the line.
Alfredo Morelos is there to make sure, but it looks like Wright's goal.
Ryan Hedges
All square again and this game is really opening up. Ryan Hedges receives the ball on the edge of the ball, finds his way past Cammy Kerr then forces the ball under Adam Legzdins into the net. Game on.
Hearts 1-0 Ross County
A very lively start from Hearts and it should really be 2-0.
Barrie McKay knocks the ball across to Aaron McEneff who he gets his body shape all wrong and goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw just has to stand up straight to block.
Rangers 0-0 St Mirren
Rangers are right up for this.
Joe Aribo punches the ball out to the left where Borna Barisic is bombing forward.
The Croatia left-back whips the ball in to Alfredo Morelos, but the Colombian can't keep his header down.
Rangers 0-0 St Mirren
Rangers are heaping the pressure on St Mirren.
This time Ianis Hagi's eyes light up as the Romania international takes the ball down and strikes towards goal.
The shot is blocked well again and almost drops into the path of Alfredo Morelos, but it's just out the striker's reach.
Callum Hendry (pen)
Motherwell 0-0 Livingston
Stephen O'Donnell charges down the right flank and is wiped out by James Penrice as he turns towards the box.
Motherwell's free-kick results in a goalmouth stramash but Max Stryjek manages to get his hands on the ball.
Rhys Breen OG
Leigh Griffiths
What a strike!
Leigh Griffiths' only other goal this season was against Aberdeen and he's done it again for Dundee, this time from a long-range free-kick. Sensational stuff.
BBC pundit Willie Miller reckons it's 35 yards out and his colleague Michael Stewart says it's "goal of the season" material.
Rangers 0-0 St Mirren
Fantastic last-ditch challenge from St Mirren defender Joe Shaughnessy.
Slick build-up play from the hosts results in Ryan Kent sliding across to Alfredo Morelos, but the striker is denied by Shaughnessy.
Aberdeen 0-0 Dundee
Lewis Ferguson slams a shot wide of the near post from the inside left channel. There didn't seem to be any other options on for the Aberdeen midfielder and Dundee will be delighted if that sets the tone for the hosts' attacks today.
Ronan Hughes
Michael Smith
Hearts take an early lead.
Aaron McEneff's shot is saved, but the rebound falls to an unmarked Michael Smith who coolly slots into the net.
Dundee United 0-0 Hibernian
Hibernian make a bright start at a dreich Tannadice as Josh Doig gets down the left and swings in a cros. It bobbles up for Kevin Nisbet but his effort is blocked.
Here we go for the last Scottish Premiership action of 2021.
