Celtic 0-0 Dundee United
Celtic are piling on the pressure.
An excellent last-ditch tackle from Calum Butcher denied Giorgos Giakoumakis, while United have to scramble clear after a James Forrest shot is deflected into a sea of legs.

Kilmarnock 1-0 Inverness CT
Kenny Crawford
BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby ParkWell that was a goal of the highest quality. Not only Kyle Lafferty’s clean, thumped finish, but the low, fast and precise delivery by Dan MacKay.
Lafferty scored 13 goals in 13 appearances for Killie last season and he’s up and running in his first start this time round.
GREAT SAVE! - but no corner?published at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022
Hearts 0-0 Motherwell
A whisker away for Kevin van Veen!
Cammy Devlin is robbed in midfield, Motherwell eventually work it to the big striker who shifts it onto his right and curls it just past the post.
Apparently there was a Craig Gordon touch around the post - it wouldn't come as a surprise.
PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022
Hibernian 1-0 Livingston
Livingston think they have a way back into the game straight away as they claim for a penalty.
Odin Bailey is attempting to latch onto a through ball but Matt Macey is just as alert to meet the ball in the box.
No penalty is the correct decision in the end, but the Livi players are bemused as to why they're not awarded a spot-kick.
CLOSE!published at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022
Celtic 0-0 Dundee United
Celtic have dominated possession as you would expect, but it is United who create the first real goal threat.
Adrian Sporle sends in a cross and, when it bounces back to the full-back, his first-time effort from an acute angle flashes across the face of the home goal.

Demetri Mitchell
A goal on his first start for Hibs!
A Hibs corner goes all the way across the box to Chris Cadden whose cross back in isn't dealt with by Livi.
Mitchell sneaks in at the back-post, takes one touch and rockets it into the roof of the net.

Ouch!published at 15:06 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022
Hibernian 0-0 Livingston
Ryan Porteous neatly spins away from Joel Nouble and gets his head up to make a pass.
Livingston's target-man wasn't too happy with being upstaged on his first start and catches Porteous late as he goes to play the ball.
Dramatic start in Gorgiepublished at 15:06 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022
Hearts 0-0 Motherwell
Underway at Tynecastle and it's a dramatic start!
Liam Kelly was penalised for holding onto the ball too long. He then launches the ball away in disgust and eventually Craig Napier books him.
It's an indirect free-kick within the visitors' box... and Stephen Kingsley puts it into the wall. Could it have been a double booking for the Motherwell keeper?

Celtic boss wants 'energy and running'published at 14:56 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2022
Celtic v Dundee United (15:00)
Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou says "his time here will never be forgotten" as the club look to pay tribute to predecessor Wim Jansen, who passed away in midweek.
As for the three changes to his team this afternoon, he tells BBC Scotland: "We're still not where we want to be in terms of depth, but we know it is going to get more and more demanding as time goes on.
"The three boys we have brought in today are full of energy and full of running we will need after Wednesday night.
"Dundee United frustrated us here last time, but when we've had a good tempo throughout the game, we are difficult to stop and that's what we want today."

Celtic v Dundee United (15:00)
Dundee United boss Thomas Courts makes five changes from the side that won 2-1 at home to Ross County in midweek, with Jeando Fuchs obviously one of them after the Cameroon midfielder's sale to Peterborough United.
Adrian Sporle and 18-year-old Lewis Neilson come into defence, Ilmari Niskanen and 19-year-old Archie Meekison are in midfield, while Nicky Clark is up front after his double against County.
Ryan Edwards misses out through injury, while Peter Pawlett, who picked up a midweek knock, Marc McNulty and Kieran Freeman drop to the bench.

BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic ParkWhat more incentive could Celtic need than the opportunity to close in to just two points of Rangers if they overcome Dundee United here today?
Celtic Park has been raucous from the moment Ross County netted that late equaliser and with the Ibrox side arriving in a few days, it’s crucial for them that they capitalise.
United have rung the changes to freshen things up but have shown they are capable of frustrating their hosts, having taken a point earlier this season.
It promises to be a cracker in front of an expectant, boisterous crowd.
