Antonio Colak
Moments after delaying an opportunity in front of goal, Antonio Colak makes no mistake with an athletic bicycle kick.
Scott Wright is the creator as the winger speeds past marker Ben Purrington and, although the Croat striker does not quite make perfect contact, his strike spins beyond goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw's outstretched hand inside the back post.
Colak's sixth gal in seven games!

St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian
A chance for St Mirren to double their lead.
Mark O'Hara meets a long looping cross at the back post, and doesn't actually get a great connection on it, but goalkeeper David Marshall still has to do well to react and push it wide for a corner.

Kilmarnock 0-1 Motherwell
Kyle Lafferty goes close again as Kilmarnock search for a leveller.
The forward chests down a Ben Chrisene cross but lashes over on the volley from eight yards.

St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian
Hibs' best chance of the game so far. Christian Doidge gets to Chris Cadden's cross but heads it just wide of the far post.

Aberdeen 0-0 Livingston
Great save from Kelle Roos to deny Ayo Obileye.
A deep free-kick is floated in by Jason Holt, Obileye is almost unchallenged as he flicks on from five yards, but Roos makes a great reaction save.

Lee Johnson has to change something. St Mirren's Ryan Strain on the right hand side is having so much joy. Hibs' left-back Marijan Cabraja is playing so narrow

John Lundstram
It has been coming.
John Lundstram curls a drive via a touch off a defender past goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw.
Amazingly, considering his influence and threat from long range, it's the English midfielder's first goal since early May.

Rangers 0-0 Ross County
Malik Tillman has burst into life and forces another good save from Ross Laidlaw, the goalkeeper slapping the drive across the face of goal at full stretch before bundling it wide as Antonio Colak looks to pounce.

Aberdeen 0-0 Livingston
Bojan Miovski and Jonny Hayes combine, with the veteran winger bursting into the Livingston box.
He twists and turns and puts Jack Fitzwater on his backside before blazing over. There must be a goal soon?

Rangers 0-0 Ross County
The ball is bouncing around inside the visiting penalty box and, as County clear in desperation, Rangers left-back Borna Barisic fires a low drive a few feet wide.

Rangers 0-0 Ross County
James Sands is fortunate there.
The American centre-half has already been booked as he and Jordy Hiwula take a tumble as they rise to a long ball behind the Rangers defence.
Sands looked to have his hands round the former Doncaster Rovers striker, but the referee waves play on.

Aberdeen 0-0 Livingston
Another chance for Joel Nouble.
He's slipped through by Stephane Omeonga and with a bit of room in the box he slips it left-footed, across the face of goal. Livingston have started this really well but they need to turn this dominance into goal.

Rangers 0-0 Ross County
After a wee County flurry at the other end, Rangers threaten again and a Tom Lawrence drive is deflected for a corner.
The home fans then claim for a penalty as Connor Goldson is challenged by Ben Purrington, but it looks like the former Charlton Athletic defender got the ball.

St Mirren 1-0 Hibernian
It's been a really open game in Paisley, punctured somewhat by constant free-kicks. And already Joe Newell and Elie Youan have been booked for the visitors. Both sides are holding nothing back.

Kevin van Veen
Kevin van Veen is in red-hot form right now! That's the Dutchman's fourth league goal in five games.
He's set up by a defence-splitting ball from Blair Spittal, shrugs aside a challenge and prods low beyond Sam Walker. Super finish.

Kilmarnock 0-0 Motherwell
First opportunity for Kilmarnock, who are searching for their first league win of the season.
Kyle Lafferty takes aim from a free-kick 30 yards out, and it fizzes just over the Motherwell crossbar.
