Watson continues to impresspublished at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Rangers 0-0 Kilmarnock
Andy Burke
BBC Scotland at Ibrox Stadium
David Watson entered the fray from the bench early on after Liam Donnelly pulled up injured, but the young Killie midfielder has made a real impression in his limited time on the pitch.
The 18-year-old has broken up several Rangers attacks and that through ball for Kyle Vassell really should have brought a goal.
An exciting talent Killie have on their hands.

Livingston 0-0 Hearts
A shot - at last!
Hearts took a while to get the ball back up the pitch, knocking it about nicely, before Alan Forrest squared.
The ball dropped for Lawrence Shankland but it was awkward and he could only half-volley over the bar with his weaker foot.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:39 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Rangers 0-0 Kilmarnock
A cheeky pull by Rory McKenzie and the Kilmarnock veteran goes into the book.
The winger was spun by Abdallah Sima's inventive backheel to keep the ball in play.

Hibernian 1-1 Motherwell
Jim Duffy
Former Hibernian manager on BBC Sportsound
It's probably the first time in 30 minutes Motherwell have been anywhere near the Hibernian box.
But it's all about the execution.

Theo Bair
He's done it again - three goals in two games for Theo Bair!
Motherwell have been hanging on, but a simple throw-in gets them going.
Bair collects, gets the ball to Mika Biereth, who tees up his strike partner to side-foot the ball in - via a deflection.
The away end bounces.

Livingston 0-0 Hearts
The first bit of good play from Hearts.
Alan Forrest and Peter Haring combine down the right, with the latter skimming a cross to the back post, but Kenneth Vargas is nowhere near it.
Other than Ayo Obileye's header, there's not been a single shot on goal. We're half an hour in.

GREAT SAVE!published at 15:34 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Rangers 0-0 Kilmarnock
It is a good save but it could also be described as a bad miss.
Kilmarnock break up a Rangers attack and David Watson unleashes Kyle Vassell through on goal, but Jack Butland comes off his line to make the block.

Ross County 0-2 Aberdeen
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland in Dingwall
It is fitting Jamie McGrath has got the two goals, he has been immense in this game.
But Leighton Clarkson's nutmeg in the build-up to the second goal was top drawer.
'Brilliant from Clarkson'published at 15:33 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Ross County 0-2 Aberdeen
John Robertson
Ex-Hearts striker & manager on BBC Sportsound
That is all down to Clarkson.
A nutmeg, then a roll across the six-yard-line.
Brilliant from Leighton Clarkson.

GOAL! Ross County 0-2 Aberdeenpublished at 15:32 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Jamie McGrath
That was all about Leighton Clarkson.
The Dons number 10 picks the ball up on the edge of the box and shapes to shoot, before rolling the ball through Jack Baldwin's legs and squaring it to Jamie McGrath, who calmly rolls it home for his second goal of the game.
Clarkson has a huge grin on his face and righty so.
GOAL! Hibernian 1-0 Motherwellpublished at 15:29 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Elie Youan
I think Elie Youan may just have shaken off that knock...
Brilliant goal from Hibs. They build it up from the back and Youan gets to the right-hand corner of the box, cuts inside and reverses the ball into the bottom corner.
Liam Kelly perhaps could have got down a bit quicker, but it's great stuff from Youan.
Tavares shining in Leithpublished at 15:28 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
That's lovely from Hibs.
A corner is passed to the near post by Jair Tavares, it's cut back and Dylan Levitt's shot is blocked.
Then Tavares gets down the left and puts another cross in. He's been brilliant so far.

'Scrappy game suiting Killie'published at 15:26 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Rangers 0-0 Kilmarnock
Billy Dodds
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
It has become scrappy in the last 10 minutes and that will suit Kilmarnock, breaking play up and slowing it down.

Livingston 0-0 Hearts
Hearts have been pretty poor.
Misplaced passes, players leaving balls for each other, poor first touches - it's all happening. They're lucky to still be level.
Livingston, meanwhile, are full of beans. They've only lost one of the last five at home against Hearts and they've taken confidence from that.
CLOSE!published at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Rangers 0-0 Kilmarnock
Very close, in fact.
Cyriel Dessers rises to meet Ridvan Yilmaz's cross and the ball loops over the Kilmarnock crossbar.
GOAL! Ross County 0-1 Aberdeenpublished at 15:25 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Jamie McGrath
A big moment for Aberdeen and Barry Robson, as Jamie McGrath lashes home from the edge of the box.
Bojan Miovski does well to pick McGrath out from the right-hand side, and the Irish midfielder's shot catches Ross Laidlaw off guard.
It's been a pretty drab affair in Dingwall, but the Dons lead.
Ouch!published at 15:24 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January
Hibernian 0-0 Motherwell
Elie Youan is really struggling for Hibs after a tackle from Georgie Gent.
The Motherwell wing-back got the ball but Youan is feeling the effects.
The Frenchman is back on but grimacing. Hibs are already struggling with injuries and players away on international duty.
