  1. GREAT SAVE!published at 21:12 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Dundee United 0-1 Ross County

    Regan Charles-Cook almost grabs a second for the visitors, as he storms into the box, left of centre, but sees his powerful effort beaten behind by Benjamin Siegrist.

    That was a serious opportunity for the visitors to double up.

  2. Baningime is backpublished at 21:11 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Hearts 1-2 Celtic

    Beni Baningime, featuring for the first time since November, is on for Hearts and is already nipping about the park making interceptions.

    The Tynecastle side have missed the midfielder in recent months.

    Rangers 0-0 Livingston

    Fashion Sakala takes beats two Livingston players then plays the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Max Stryjek, but it creeps across the face of goal.

    Scott Wright gets to the loose ball but blasts it back the way it came.

    Motherwell 0-0 Hibernian

    Changes for both sides as the hunt for a goal, or a decent effort on goal, continues.

    Ross Tierney is on for his league debut, replacing Connor Shields. Drey Wright has replaced Chris Mueller for the visitors.

    I thought Graham Alexander was having a chat with a mascot before the fresh-faced Tierney entered the fray.

    St Johnstone 0-0 Dundee

    Dundee finally muster a decent effort as Leigh Griffiths turns and shoots, with Zander Clark getting down sharply to make a near-post stop.

    Both sets of supporters are creating one heck of a noise here. The Motherwell ultras on the far side seem to be in the middle of some sort of sing-off with the Hibs fans, who are giving it laldy. They must have heard there's a residency spot in Vegas going spare.

    In other news, it's still tipping down and neither side have yet to get a shot on target after the break, or in Hibs' case the whole game.

    Rangers 0-0 Livingston

    It's just not happening for Rangers.

    A good touch and turn by Fashion Sakala in the box, but he disappointingly puts the ball straight at goalkeeper Max Stryjek.

    And then at the other end Calvin Bassey gets the evil eyes from Allan McGregor as he tries to head the ball back to his goalkeeper and instead concedes a corner.

    GOAL Hearts 1-2 Celticpublished at 21:05 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Liam Boyce

    Out of nowhere, Hearts are back in this!

    Really sloppy defending between Carl Starfelt, who is more concerned with pushing Ellis Simms rather than going for the ball.

    Barrie McKay then picks it up and slips in Liam Boyce, who slides a finish under Joe Hart.

    Similar to Giorgos Giakoumakis' second, the Hearts striker looks just offside.

    Hearts 0-2 Celtic

    Better from Jota, who breaks into the left of the Hearts box after fantastic one-touch build-up play.

    But the winger's strike is saved easily by Craig Gordon.

    That's the Portuguese forward's last involvement, he's replaced by Liel Abada.

    St Johnstone 0-0 Dundee

    Another effort on target for the hosts.

    The angle is tight as Chris Kane sends a strike straight at Adam Legzdins, but Callum Davidson's men are building a bit of momentum.

  11. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Dundee United 0-1 Ross County

    The home fans are screaming for a penalty after a bouncing ball in the County box is headed on to his own arm by Jake Vokins.

    David Munro waves play on.

  12. Postpublished at 21:02 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Hearts 0-2 Celtic

    Not often this is said, but questionable decision-making from Jota as the on-loan Benfica man is through but opts to slide a pass across goal.

    The pass is tame and straight into the arms of Craig Gordon. The type of pass you'd expect to see from a player stuck in two minds.

    Motherwell 0-0 Hibernian

    Finally, we have something resembling a second-half chance at Fir Park as Motherwell's Liam Donnelly has a shot blocked by Joe Newell. It falls nicely for Stephen O'Donnell but Newell does well to get in the way again.

  14. CLOSE!published at 21:00 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    St Johnstone 0-0 Dundee

    Great play from Callum Hendry.

    The Saints striker barrels in from the left flank, sells Liam Fontaine a dummy, and gets a low shot away that is blocked by the legs of Dundee keeper Legzdins.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:59 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Hearts 0-2 Celtic

    Matt O'Riley has had a fine Celtic debut.

    His clever reverse ball finds Josip Juranovic running in behind and the right-back's drive across goal is tipped to safety by Craig Gordon.

  16. McGinn on for Dundee debutpublished at 20:58 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    St Johnstone 0-0 Dundee

    Dundee boss James McPake has seen enough. He makes a double change, with winger Niall McGinn on for his debut alongside captain Charlie Adam.

    Luke McCowan and Paul McGowan are the players to make way.

  17. CLOSE!published at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Hearts 0-2 Celtic

    Hearts have improved here and almost find a way back into the game.

    A deep free-kick bobbles around the Celtic box before making its way to Cammy Devlin, who slashes a strike on the half volley just past the right-hand post.

  18. goal

    GOAL Dundee United 0-1 Ross Countypublished at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 26 January 2022

    Regan Charles-Cook

    Massive moment for Ross County!

    Jack Baldwin - who was lucky to escape with a yellow for a wild tackle just a few minutes ago - curls a long-range shot which Benjamin Siegrist parries at full stretch.

    It falls to Regan Charles-Cook left of target, and he cuts in sharply to finish on his right foot. That's a ninth goal of the season for the Dingwall club's top scorer.

    Rangers 0-0 Livingston

    With Celtic winning, the longer it stays goalless at Ibrox the more nervy it becomes for the champions.

    Livingston threaten at the other end as Bruce Anderson lashes a shot at goal with Allan McGregor gets down low to save, although the assistant's referee's flag deems it was offside anyway, but it elicits a few groans from the agitated home support.

    Hearts 0-2 Celtic

    The Celtic away support scream for a penalty as James Forrest's cross clips the hand of Stephen Kingsley.

    No penalty given and the correct call as the Hearts defender's hand was across his own chest
