Almost a magnificent St Johnstone reply. Adam Montgomery does brilliantly to win the ball high up the park, prodding a cross to the edge of the area.

Melker Hallberg meets it on the volley, but it goes inches wide.

Callum Davidson was clearly furious with his side's showing in the first half and sent his players back out after just 10 minutes.

Plenty of time on the pitch to ponder while their hosts were still enjoying a much needed rest after a rampant first-half performance.

I don't know what reaction the Saints boss was looking for by cutting his spiel short, but it certainly wouldn't have been this one.

A succession of chances for Motherwell go unconverted as both James Furlong and Kevin van Veen fail to convert from similar areas on the left-hand side of the box.

This game is being played at a frantic pace now.

Livingston have been absolutely mesmerising in the last few minutes - and it should be 3-0.

Stephen Kelly and Bruce Anderson played a one-two, with the former dragging a shot straight at the goalkeeper when he had time to place his shot.

Will Rangers rue these missed chances?

Fashion Sakala cuts in from the left and drags a shot wide as St Mirren back off.

Goalkeeper Trevor Carson gets down to block Nicolas Raskin's shot as Rangers hit St Mirren on the counter attack.

Lovely footwork from on-loan Bayern Munich midfielder Malik Tillman as he taunts four St Mirren players and eventually wins a free-kick.

The ball in from captain James Tavernier is punched away by goalkeeper Trevor Carson.

Ian Harkes has a brilliant opportunity to level the game.

The midfielder finds space inside the area to side-foot his effort goalward, it squirms under the Motherwell defender but ultimately is sent for a corner.

Loick Ayina rises well to meet it, but it is off target. Better from the visitors.

Oh dear me. If St Johnstone aren't scoring that, they aren't scoring today.

Connor McLennan gets away from Cristian Montano in the box and lays the ball back on a silver platter for Graham Carey. But, unmarked, unopposed, the veteran winger curls his effort over the bar from close range.

Kevin van Veen thinks he's got his 20th league goal, but it is ruled out for offside.

A cutting through-ball finds Motherwell's Dutch striker on the edge of the box and he curls his shot in and off of the far-post.

A VAR check shows he had just went too early with his initial run.

Livingston have started the way they ended the first half. Nicky Devlin drives into the area, past Melker Hallberg, and his shot is deflected behind.

They're keeping the pressure up with a couple of corners. Bruce Anderson then has another chance, shooting straight at goalkeeper Remi Matthews. It's one-way traffic.

St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson isn't a happy man and winger Graham Carey is on at the break, replacing Dan Phillips. An attacking change by the visitors.

It's a staggered start to the second halves round the country.

Their off against at Livingston already with the other two Premiership games about to follow.

Hibs manager Lee Johnson tells Sportsound that he "really enjoyed" watching his side win their first Edinburgh derby since Boxing Day 2019 in the early kick-off.

"It was intense, passionate; I thought our fans were unbelievable today," he says.

"We’re desperate to give something back - it’s a wonderful club with so much potential and these are the days and performances that we need more of.

"It was a performance marker, in the manner we got the win against a good Hearts side.

"We’re not in a position where we can Barcelona somebody in terms of our passing and movement, but we battled and that’s what our fans want to see.

"I had a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye at the end.”
