    Matt O'Riley

    The leaders ain't messing about.

    A move from back to front ends with Paulo Bernardo spinning in the box before providing for Matt O'Riley to slot underneath Zach Hemming.

    A goal and assist inside seven minutes for O'Riley.

    St Mirren look for a response but two long throws come to nothing.

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It was an easy goal for Daizen Maeda and it puts Celtic in an incredible situation so early in this game.

    That will take the pressure right off them.

    Daizen Maeda

    That's how you start a game.

    Matt O'Riley slips Daizen Maeda in behind the St Mirren backline, takes a touch inside then slots past the keeper.

    Not even two minutes in.

    Elie Youan's deflected strike prevents Hibernian suffering a third straight loss before the winter break.

    But Stuart Kettlewell's men have to settle for a point after a late defensive lapse.

  14. GREAT SAVE!published at 16:55 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    Livingston 1-2 Hearts

    Alan Forrest had the chance to kill it as Hearts break on the counter, but it's a fine save from Jack Hamilton against his boyhood club.

  15. FULL-TIME Ross County 0-3 Aberdeenpublished at 16:55 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    A fine response, and performance, from Barry Robson's Aberdeen.

    A double from Jamie McGrath and another from Bojan Miovski gets the job done comfortably in the Highlands.

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says it is "all about timing" with Maik Nawrocki's inclusion and adds, with a bit of fitness and games, he will "be a big asset" for his side.

    Rodgers also says he's still unsure on the extent of Stephen Welsh's injury.

    On today's trip to Paisley, the Celtic manager says: "It's up to us to impose our speed and rhythm in the game and use that quality."

    On losing players to international duty, he adds: "We have a good squad, we have players who are developing as we go along. We hope the second part of the season there will be that, but there is no doubt we will need reinforcements as well."

  17. Raskin return for Rangerspublished at 16:52 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    Rangers 3-1 Kilmarnock

    Some good news for Rangers on the injury front as Nico Raskin makes his return as a replacement for Todd Cantwell.

  18. Postpublished at 16:51 Greenwich Mean Time 2 January

    Ross County 0-3 Aberdeen

    Drama in Dingwall.

    A VAR check shows Jack Baldwin's foul happened outside the box, so there's a free-kick rather than a penalty.

    It's also a straight red card for Baldwin instead of a second yellow.

    The free-kick comes to nothing.

    Elie Youan

    Bevis Mugabi goes from hero to zero for Motherwell.

    Motherwell don't deal with a cross from the left and it falls for Youan, and his low shot is deflected past Liam Kelly via Mugabi.

    A big goal for Hibs.
