    Inverness CT v Partick Thistle (19:45)

    Inverness host Partick in our live game tonight, a pretty enticing contest in and of itself, never mind another two rounds of Championship action happening elsewhere tonight.

    Ayr United host Cove Rangers with plenty at stake for both teams. The Ayrshire side are looking to further cement their playoff hopes with what could be a huge three points, while strugglers Cove Rangers try and pull themselves out of a relegation battle with Arbroath and Hamilton Accies.

    Meanwhile, the aforementioned Arbroath are away to Queen's Park with Dick Campbell's just one point off the bottom, while Queen's Park are starting the night four points clear at the top.

    This league really is cracking, isn't it?

    BBC Sport Scotland's Andy Campbell has been assessing the state of play in the Scottish Championship as the teams head for the finish line.

    From Queen's Park gunning for the title, three teams in the relegation mix, and a host of teams hunting a playoff spot...it's the league that keeps on giving.

  4. As it standspublished at 19:15 Greenwich Mean Time 24 March 2023

    Inverness CT v Partick Thistle (19:45)

    The run-in seems to be set up nicely for a two-horse race between Queen's Park and Dundee. As always with the Scottish Championship though, anything can happen.

    A late charge from Ayr or Partick? Accies, Arbroath, or Cove to pull off a great escape?

    Only a fool would try to call this league before it's done and dusted.
