  1. G'night

    That's us for today.

    You'll catch all of Saturday's drama on Sportscene at 19:30 BST on the BBC Scotland channel.

    In the meantime, listen to the rest of Sportsound and enjoy the remainder of your night.

    We'll catch you all again tomorrow.

  2. 'Dreadful game, dramatic end'

    FT: Livingston 1-1 St Mirren

    Andrew Petrie

    BBC Scotland

    Both sides were "lucky to have nil" at half-time, according to our pundit Stephen Craigan.

    That might have been a little harsh, but there was only one chance in that half that might make the Sportscene highlights - a header from Greg Kiltie that George did well to save.

    Perhaps this was simply a case of two evenly-matched teams, cancelling each other out. Perhaps they both struggled to play much football on a sticky, dry plastic pitch.

    As a result, both sides lofted it skyward. Both goals came from lumps into the box from free-kicks.

    Ultimately, this was more a show of character than football. Two tough-to-beat teams that couldn't be beaten.

  3. Robinson believes 'draw is a fair result'

    FT: Livingston 1-1 St Mirren

    St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "We weren't at our fluent best, no doubt. Livi make it very difficult. That's a credit, not a criticism. Taking a point here is a good point and keeps our run going. It shows our character. When you aren't at your top, can you get something out of it? We did today.

    "We're disappointed with their goal. We pride ourselves on organisation in our set-plays. But our spirit and fight meant we were never going to give up.

    "It was a game of no chances. Not many shots on target, Zach [Hemming] had one save. There wasn't a lot between the sides and a draw is a fair result. We didn't deserve to win, we weren't on top of our game, but these boys never fail to surprise me.

    "The players deserve every bit of credit. They've been fantastic since I came in the door. We've moulded a squad of fantastic characters. It's a credit to the players."

    On links to the Hibs job: "You don't get linked if you aren't doing well and it's the players producing the performances. I ignore most of it. Most of it is speculation. I have a tough job, we have to punch above our weight. We're doing it at the moment and we won't take our eye off the ball."

  4. 'Referee did the correct thing' - Mackay

    FT: Kilmarnock 0-1 Ross County

    Ross County manager Malky Mackay has been speaking to BBC Scotland after Simon Murray's goal sealed a 1-0 win over Kilmarnock.

    "Fantastic, really good result," said Mackay. "It's a statement. Kilmarnock are a really tough team to play.

    "To come in and get the win, I'm really delighted. We stood really firm; defended really doggedly."

    There was late controversy when Kilmarnock's Stuart Findlay netted but referee Kevin Clancy awarded a penalty for a foul on Brad Lyons. Danny Armstrong's spot-kick was saved by Ross Laidlaw.

    "To be fair, Kevin Clancy blows very early; before the ball goes anywhere near somebody's head," explained Mackay.

    "It looks rough justice. That's the rules that VAR has imposed. If I'm Derek [McInnes], I'm absolutely gutted with it. If you actually read the instruction that they're all due to take, the referee did the correct thing."

  5. Referee apologises for Kilmarnock error

    FT: Kilmarnock 0-1 Ross County

    Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes has given his reaction to today's controversy.

    "It's a perfectly good goal," he tells BBC Scotland. "The referees will tell you that the phase should be played through.

    "He's apologised. He said he blew too early. It should be a draw, there's no doubt about it. We deserve better."

  6. What's on Sunday's agenda?

    Aye, tomorrow's menu looks tasty.

    Apparently there's a big game in Govan. Aberdeen also host Hibernian at Pittodrie, while Motherwell travel to Tynecastle to face Hearts.

    Yum.

  7. 'Referee call a bitter pill for Killie to swallow'

    FT: Kilmarnock 0-1 Ross County

    Andy Campbell

    BBC Scotland

    Kilmarnock were left bemused by the decision not to allow Stuart Findlay's goal to stand but they still had it within their gift to find the net with the Danny Armstrong penalty.

    Overall, the hosts had the better chances but their accuracy and composure let them down and they came up against a goalkeeper in inspired form.

    The game had been crying out for one moment of quality before the Yan Dhanda set piece for the Simon Murray goal and County were resolute thereafter. Afterwards, Ross County were resolute.

    Three points on the road are always welcome but wins like this one could have a big bearing on where the Staggies end up this season.

  8. United climb to top of Championship

    The Championship has a new leader in Dundee United, the favourites for the title.

    A 2-0 victory over Airdrieonians leapfrogs them above Queen's Park, who drop to third after a 3-2 defeat at Raith Rovers.

  9. Dundee 'so down' after dropping two points

    FT: St Johnstone 2-2 Dundee

    Tony Docherty says his Dundee players are "so down" in the dressing room after throwing away that two-goal lead.

    No wonder. They were cruising in Perth. Two late St Johnstone goals robbed two points off them.

  10. As it stands in top tier

    St Mirren welcome the chase.

    Buddies fans, your takeaway of choice will taste better tonight after that late point at Livingston takes you top of the table for a day at least.

    Enjoy it.

  11. 'Break will be good for St Johnstone'

    FT: St Johnstone 2-2 Dundee

    St Johnstone boss Steven MacLean tells BBC Scotland: "We wanted to win the game. But again it's something to build on. We'll look forward to the next game now.

    "The break will be good for us. We'll keep working hard."

  12. The Kucheriavyi late show in Perth

    FT: St Johnstone 2-2 Dundee

    St Johnstone went through the first 351 minutes of this season without a Premiership goal.

    In the final 14 minutes today, they scored two through Max Kucheriavyi to snatch a point in their Tayside derby with Dundee.

    Fitba, eh? Cannae script it.

    Four of the seven goals scored in today's Premiership games came after the 80th minute.

    Late bedlam.

  16. FULL-TIME Livingston 1-1 St Mirren

    This one was a tough, tough watch for the majority.

    But after having Bruce Anderson's finish ruled out by the VAR, Luiyi de Lucas tapped in with 89 on the clock.

    Seven minutes later, Stav Nahmani nodded in a stoppage-time equaliser.

    Madness. St Mirren go top.

  17. GOAL! Livingston 1-1 St Mirren

    Stav Nahmani

    My days. This is daft.

    Substitute Stav Nahmani pops up just yards from goal to nod in a late, late equaliser.

    St Mirren are heading to the top of the table!

  18. FULL-TIME Kilmarnock 0-1 Ross County

    The first person the Kilmarnock players and dugout race to at the full-time whistle is referee Kevin Clancy.

    Simon Murray's header put Ross County one up at Rugby Park, but Stuart Findlay looked to have nodded in a leveller.

    Clancy had blown his whistle too early though and pointed to the spot for a Kilmarnock penalty, which was missed by Danny Armstrong.

  19. FULL-TIME St Johnstone 2-2 Dundee

    What drama at the death in Perth.

    Two late, late goals from Max Kucheriavyi have snatched an unlikely point for St Johnstone.

    Dundee will be devastated at that. The three points should have been theirs.

  20. GOAL! Livingston 1-0 St Mirren

    Luiyi de Lucas

    Late madness. Late madness everywhere!

    A free-kick bobbles on to the back-post, Mohammed Sangare fires across goal and Luiyi de Lucas fires in from about a yard out! My word!
