  1. goal

    GOAL Motherwell 1-1 St Johnstonepublished at 16:50 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Mika Biereth

    They've done it! Motherwell have found an equaliser!

    Theo Bair crosses from the left and Mika Biereth powers his header into the back of the net. It's a superb effort - do they have time to find a winner?!

  2. CLOSE!published at 16:47 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    St Mirren 2-0 Ross County

    Josh Sims drags one wide of the mark from outside the box after gliding forward with ease beyond the St Mirren midfield.

    Ross County finally crafting some dangerous chances but it appears to be too little, too late for Derek Adams' men.

    Time running out across the country. There will be a fair bit of stoppage time in the Premiership due to VAR.

  4. Postpublished at 16:45 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Aberdeen 1-1 Hearts

    Luis 'Duk' Lopes drives a shot from the edge of the box straight at Hearts goalkeeper Zander Clark.

    It's been an open game in the second half, but Hearts haven't created enough.

    Rangers 3-1 Dundee

    The Rangers manager Philippe Clement had his head in his hands when Rangers couldn't take any of their chances there. The scoreline is comfy but Dundee are creating some chances themselves in this one, so maybe the Rangers boss feels it's not over yet.

    Rangers manager Philippe Clement is on course for another win but there's still time for Dundee

  6. Postpublished at 16:43 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    St Mirren 2-0 Ross County

    A couple of shambolic Ross County clearances allows Mark O'Hara to let fly from the edge of the penalty area, but Mikael Mandron gets in the way of his skipper's strike and diverts it away from goal.

    Motherwell 0-1 St Johnstone

    The four Motherwell strikers on the pitch are causing chaos and they all combine to put Theo Bair in behind, but his header is tame and Dimitar Mitov can collect easily.

    This is the first time in this half that Motherwell have looked like scoring.

  8. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Rangers 3-1 Dundee

    So close to a fourth for Rangers.

    Leon Balogun stabs the ball towards goal as the centre-half emerges from clutch of bodies at the back post, but Joe Shaughnessy clears off the line.

    Worryingly for Rangers, in-form forward Abdallah Sima is down clutching his face. The forward carries on for now.

  9. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Aberdeen 1-1 Hearts

    Stefan Gartenmann is down with a cut to his face after taking a blow to the face from Kyle Rowles.

    The centre-back is already on a booking, and he catches Gartenmann in the face.

    The Hearts centre-back does win the header, but I wonder if VAR might intervene?

  10. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 16:42 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Livingston 0-1 Hibernian

    Frantic stuff in West Lothian as Livingston are shouting for a handball in the box one second, and then defending a counter-attack moments later.

    After the referee takes no interest in the shouts, Elie Youan is allowed to race forward, though his square ball eludes Martin Boyle.

  11. goal

    GOAL Queen's Park 1-4 Inverness CTpublished at 16:41 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Billy Mckay, penalty

    It's turning into a rout for Inverness at Hampden, Billy Mckay converts a penalty for their fourth after David Wotherspoon was fouled by Cameron Bruce.

    Morton are back in front with George Oakley finding the net.

  13. Postpublished at 16:38 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Rangers 3-1 Dundee

    Dundee look poised to score as James Tavernier's loose header falls to Lyall Cameron eight yards out, but the midfielder is thwarted by a last-ditch John Souttar challenge.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:37 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    St Mirren 2-0 Ross County

    Finally a real chance for the visitors!

    Alex Samuel forces a superb stop from Buddies goalkeeper Zach Hemmings as his glancing header looked destined to, somehow, pull Ross County back into this one.

  15. Postpublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Aberdeen 1-1 Hearts

    Bojan Miovski is lucky there. He's already on a yellow for dissent, and then blatantly trips Aidan Denholm.

    Perhaps in recognition of that, Aberdeen manager Barry Robson has taken him off for Dante Polvara.

  16. Postpublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Rangers 3-1 Dundee

    It's a glorious chance for Cyriel Dessers to ease any worries for 10-man Rangers as the striker is through on goal.

    However, the striker delays his shot and two defenders are back to block and that is his last contribution as he is replaced with Kemar Roofe.

  17. goal

    GOAL Queen's Park 1-3 Inverness CTpublished at 16:35 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    David Wotherspoon

    It looks like Inverness are on their way to the three points at Hampden. David Wotherspoon has netted the visitors' third.

  18. CLOSE!published at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    St Mirren 2-0 Ross County

    Alex Gogic flashes a glancing header wide of the near post.

    Not much else to report with the hosts remaining in full control of proceedings in Paisley.

  19. goal

    GOAL Arbroath 1-1 Mortonpublished at 16:33 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    David Gold

    Arbroath have their first goal under Jim McIntyre with David Gold striking them level against Morton.

  20. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:31 Greenwich Mean Time 9 December 2023

    Motherwell 0-1 St Johnstone

    Graham Carey from the set piece. He's always dangerous from here, about 20 yards out. He curls... and it smacks the crossbar! Inches away from an absolute screamer.
