HT: Dundee 4-0 Hamilton
Kenny Crawford
BBC Sport Scotland at Dens Park
The Dark Blues are doing their utmost to apply as much pressure as possible on Scottish Championship leaders Queen’s Park, and vastly improve their goal difference at the same time.
Relegation-threatened Hamilton have never had a foothold in this match and have watched in horror as Alex Jakubiak, Ryan Sweeney, Lyall Cameron and Luke McCowan took it in turns to make the net ripple.
HT: St Johnstone 0-1 Aberdeen

A very lively first half in Perth. Aberdeen deserving of the lead, unsurprisingly they have seen loads of the ball since the early red card for Andy Considine. The Dons could have scored more, with their creative players benefitting from the extra space.
But St Johnstone have still carried a threat themselves and have forced Kelle Roos into a couple of very decent saves. One feels there are a few more twists to come in this one.
One-way traffic to say the least. Two penalties, both cooly dispatched by Mark O'Hara, have bookended an expert finish from Tony Watt.
It's odd to see a team ripping through Livingston with such ease, but it's exactly what St Mirren have been doing all afternoon so far.
All three goals have been undeniably top-class finishes.
Aberdeen are well on their way to a fourth consecutive win that would all but end St Johnstone's hopes of finishing in the top six.
After a whirlwind start with chances at both ends, home centre-half Andrew Considine was shown a red card on his 36th birthday - and against his former team.
And, although the hosts went close to an opener through Zak Rudden, Aberdeen eventually made their man advantage tell as centre-half Angus MacDonald's near-post flick went in off Remi Matthews leg after the goalkeeper had initially clawed it off the line.
It's been a half to forget for Zander Clark.
Lawrence Shankland gave Hearts the lead with a terrific strike from just inside the box, but that was about as good as it got for the travelling Jambos.
Clark then spilled a Danny Armstrong shot right to the feet of Kyle Vassell and proceeded to wipe the Killie striker out. Armstrong dispatched the resulting penalty with ease.
Then, the keeper flung himself at an Armstrong cross with no success, allowing Christian Doidge to stick out a shin and put into the empty net.
Kilmarnock 2-1 Hearts

Christian Doidge, formerly of Hibs, fairly milked that celebration in front of the Hearts fans. Not that he knew much about his goal, I don't think. It appeared that Zander Clark, struggling to intercept Danny Armstrong's wicked cross, punched it against the Killie forward. He'll take it though, absolutely.
Just his second league goal for Kilmarnock but what a valuable one it could prove to be. Having gone behind early, there was no panic from the home side, who're applauded off at half-time. Boos from the Hearts end, their early joy turning to deep frustration as they're looking at a potential fourth straight defeat unless they can get at least one more goal after the break.
Malik Tillman's opener sends Rangers up the tunnel contentedly ahead after United had frustrated the hosts for much of the first half.
Mark Birighitti saved from James Tavernier and Todd Cantwell, but was largely untroubled until Tillman found a breakthrough, and Ryan Kent then thudded the bar in added time.
United went close at 0-0 through Craig Sibbald, but will have to show more attacking threat if they're to salvage anything now.
Sean Goss' magnificent free-kick is the difference at the break.
Kevin van Veen has also had two good chances to extend Motherwell's lead, while Kevin Nisbet's header is as close as Hibs have come.
Rangers 1-0 Dundee United
So nearly a second for Rangers.
Ryan Kent rattles a shot from 25 yards, but it smacks back off the bar. Did Mark Birighitti perhaps get fingertips to it?
Moments later, Alfredo Morelos nods over at the back post.
United desperate to make it to half-time just a goal down now.
Luke McCowan
It just keeps getting better for Dundee and even worse for Hamilton. Luke McCowan knocks in the hosts' fourth of the first half.
Rangers 1-0 Dundee Utd
Jane Lewis
BBC Sport Scotland at Ibrox
One sensed a bit of concern among the home supporters, they were quiet with only the odd cry here and there when they felt a Rangers player was fouled.
But the atmosphere is less tense now and as Rangers seem to have stepped up a gear the fans are willing them on looking for more.
Three and easy for Dundee, Lyall Cameron scoring from close range this time.
Christian Doidge
Zander Clark was poor for the first goal. He was even worse for the second.
A cross from Danny Armstrong on the left is completely missed by the Hearts keeper and it bounces off the unexpectant Christian Doidge to put Kilmarnock ahead.
St Mirren 3-0 Livingston
Curtis Main nets from an offside position, halting the hosts' celebrations.
A cross from halfway inside the half drops invitingly on the edge of the six-yard box for Main to touch over the line, only for it to be flagged for offside.
St Mirren aren't settling for three in this half, nevermind the full 90.
Kilmarnock 1-1 Hearts
Hearts are coming forward just before the half. Rory McKenzie slipped in the area, allowing Alan Forrest a bit of room, but a Kilmarnock body blocks his shot.
A Hearts goal now would flatter them.
Kilmarnock 1-1 Hearts
Kheredine Idessane
BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park
Hearts may have to make an unscheduled first-half change here. Having been in the Scotland squad for the latest international break, disappointment for goalkeeper Zander Clark, who appeared to hurt himself taking a goal kick, and went down clutching his right leg.
Ross Stewart, sub goalie, is getting prepared in case Clark isn't able to continue. This after a lengthy stoppage for teammate Josh Ginnelly, who appeared to turn an ankle on the artificial surface here at Rugby Park.
All of this means there will be plenty of time added on at the end of the half. Clark playing on in the meantime.
Mark O'Hara, penalty
Mark O'Hara's second converted penalty of the game extends St Mirren's lead to three.
Just as coolly as he slotted away the opener, O'Hara makes it three for the hosts with his second of the afternoon.
St Mirren 2-0 Livingston
The cross flicked up off of Curtis Main and on to the raised arm of Jason Holt, who was only a yard or two behind him.
After a brief visit to the monitor, it's another spot-kick for the hosts.
