Kelty Hearts 0-0 St Johnstone
St Johnstone are out with more intent as Tony Gallacher's strike takes a nick and goes out for a corner.
The resulting set-piece breaks to Jacob Butterfield on the edge of the area, who catches his effort well but sees it sail just over.

'Red mist hands Dundee advantage'published at 15:59 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2022
HT: Dumbarton 0 Dundee 0
Martin Dowden
BBC Sport Scotland at C&G Systems StadiumIt’s all square but what a massive advantage Dundee have now with the home side down to 10 men.
Dumbarton were preparing to take a free kick. Before it was taken Cammy Kerr went to ground and referee Colin Steven had no hesitation in showing a straight red card to striker Ross Maclean who appeared to lash out.
Ryan Sweeney came close with a close range header which he nodded off target before Jordan McGhee smashed one from distance with Sam Ramsbottom in the home goal doing well to tip over.
It couldn’t be better set up for Dundee now. A man advantage they really must capitalise on in this second half.
'Aberdeen energy and attitude spot-on'published at 15:58 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2022
HT: Aberdeen 2-0 Edinburgh City
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at PittodrieThis has been a blistering performance by Aberdeen so far. Their attitude, energy and desire has been spot on. The only disappointment for the home side is that they are not going in to the break even further ahead - and they really should be.
It has been a tough shift so far for Edinburgh City, who will do well to keep the score down in the second half if the Dons maintain this level of intensity.

Dundee United took an early lead through Marc McNulty and gave the impression it was going to be an comfortable afternoon for the Premiership side, but since then Kilmarnock have fought back, got their equaliser through Rory McKenzie, and have shaded the chances.
Finely poised at the break.

HALF-TIME Kelty Hearts 0-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:53 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2022
The Sportscene TV camera pans to Callum Davidson on the stroke of half-time and the St Johnstone boss looks scunnered.
Aside from a Chris Kane header and an Ali Crawford strike, that forced Kelty keeper Darren Jamieson into two fine stops, Davidson's men have offered little against the fourth-tier hosts.
The longer this goes on, the more anxious the Perth side's manager will get.
HALF-TIME Ayr United 0-2 St Mirrenpublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2022
St Mirren look to be easing into the last 16 of the Scottish Cup thanks to goals from midfield duo Kyle McAllister and Greg Kiltie.
Second-tier Ayr made a bright start, but the Premiership side came closest to scoring again when striker Kristian Dennis missed a great chance.
HALF-TIME Dumbarton 0-0 Dundeepublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2022
Dumbarton will be pleased to hear the half-time whistle after that Ross McLean red card - a chance to regroup.
Dundee have created precious little so far, but will be looking to make their numerical advantage count in the second half.
HALF-TIME Livingston 1-0 Ross Countypublished at 15:51 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2022
Livingston are good value for their lead through Ayo Obileye's penalty but Ross County need to remind themselves they are only one down.

Motherwell have enjoyed the majority of possession and had a few decent chances too.
Connor Shields, Sean Goss and Barry Maguire have all had opportunities to open the scoring and Morton’s Jack Hamilton has been the busiest man on the pitch between the sticks.

Kelty Hearts 0-0 St Johnstone
Nice play from Nathan Austin.
The Kelty striker takes the ball in well, turns and tries to bend one from range, but Zander Clark holds it.
The lone forward has put some shift in.

Motherwell seem to have lost a bit of their edge as half-time approaches.
A flurry of chances went unconverted and Morton are now managing to knock the ball about more confidently now.
