Funny old day at Meadowbank, I tell you, after the delayed kick-off.
No smiles on City manager Michael McIndoe’s face, though. He’s already had to make two substitutions in the opening 20 minutes.
He could only name five outfield players. Times are tough in this neck of the woods.
HALF-TIME Arbroath 0-0 Ayr Unitedpublished at 15:55 Greenwich Mean Time 13 January
It's bottom of the table fare at Gayfield, with no goals between struggling Arbroath and Ayr.

A word too for Jamie Sneddon, who’s made a couple of brilliant saves to deny Morton in that first half. Dougie Imrie will be delighted, though, heading into half-time with the lead.

Two excellent goals in the first half here in Kirkcaldy.
Jack Hamilton's header was sublime to give the home side the lead, but the equaliser from 18-year-old Cameron Bruce was even better.
More of the same please in the second half!

Almost the breakthrough for Arbroath, Leighton McIntosh's glancing header rebounding back off a post.
So close to what would have been an against-the-run-of-play opener.

Cameron Bruce
What a response!
Cameron Bruce curls a superb shot past the Rovers goalkeeper.
The 18-year-old left-back's first goal of the season has struggling Queen's Park level with the side aiming to go back to the top of the table.

Jim McIntyre must feel his team is cursed just now - Thomas O'Brien, who is only just back from injury, has also been forced off for Arbroath in this first half with a knock.

Both goalkeepers in Kirkcaldy have made terrific saves in the opening 30 minutes. Decent game here at Stark's Park.

Morton have turned up the intensity in Inverclyde! Robbie Crawford has been such a threat - especially in the last 10 minutes or so.

Apart from the opening few minutes, new head coach Callum Davidson will be relatively happy with the application from the Queen's Park players. It would have been so easy for the heads to drop after losing an early goal.
Rovers striker Jack Hamilton is proving to be a real handful for the visitors' defence. The former Livingston player looks very sharp and took his goal magnificently.

Ayr are still very much on the front foot at Gayfield, with the home side really struggling to offer anything of note in an attacking sense.

The League 2 leaders appear to be heading for that 11th consecutive victory.
A dull game so far is lit up by a fine strike from Matt Yates. The forward's sixth goal of the season.
