Dundee United 1-0 Motherwell
Motherwell have come out with more attacking intent and a few well-placed crosses and free-kicks have caused some concern for the home defence.
GOAL Aberdeen 1-2 Celticpublished at 20:55 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2022
Christian Ramirez
Aberdeen deserve that goal for the start they've made in this second period, they really do.
A pre-planned set piece we've seen before works again for the Dons as a wide free-kick is pulled back low across the face of goal and Christian Ramirez guides it in.
Game on!

Hearts 1-1 Dundee
After a shaky start, Ian Lawlor is really keeping Dundee in this. This time the goalkeeper gets down to block a shot by Ellis Simms.

Aberdeen 0-2 Celtic
The hosts are much improved as Ross McCrorie drills a ball across the face of goal.
It must brush Christian Ramirez's fringe as he flings himself at it. The Aberdeen striker was so close to connecting.

Alan Forrest
Livingston's first meaningful attack of the game and it results in a wonderful strike from Alan Forrest.
Odin Bailey picks up the ball in the County half but Forrest takes over and drives right towards goal and drills it into the bottom corner.
Question marks over Ross Laidlaw's goalkeeping, he got a hand to it but was unable to keep it out.

Toby Sibbick O.G
Dundee are level and it's an own goal that's done it. Danny Mullen progresses in the inside right channel and his cross clips off the chest of Toby Sibbick and beats Craig Gordon.

A tasty challenge from David Bates on Liel Abada wide on the right earns the Aberdeen defender a yellow card.
Abada is getting treatment but he's back on his feet.

HALF-TIME Rangers 1-0 Hibernianpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2022
A fifth-minute penalty from James Tavernier separates the sides, but it has been an eventful 45 minutes.
Scott Arfield, Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent have missed big chances for Rangers, but Hibs have had their moments too and Kevin Nisbet, Ewen Henderson and Demetri Mitchell have all gone close for the visitors.
HALF-TIME Ross County 0-0 Livingstonpublished at 20:35 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2022
The snow is chucking it down in the Highlands and it's really stopped either side building any sort of play in a game that promised goals, based on the stats anyway. The xG for Ross County and Livingston are 0.21 and 0.27 respectively.
A tough watch so far.

HALF-TIME Dundee Utd 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 20:33 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2022
Motherwell went close to opening the scoring with just seconds on the clock after Sean Goss' effort thundered off of the bar, before the visitors had a free-kick narrowly go over the top.
Marc McNulty cracked the post for the home side before the game hit a bit of a lull.
But Dylan Levitt sparked life into the match with a thunderous strike from outside the box that flew into the net.

HALF-TIME Hearts 1-0 Dundeepublished at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 9 February 2022
Hearts lead at the break but should feel aggrieved at only being one up. Ellis Simms got the opener and he and Barrie McKay have threatened to add to that lead.
