Motherwell 2-0 Ross County
Blair Spittal's goal is worth catching on Sportscene later.
A lovely finish. His eighth goal of an impressive season.

Blair Spittal's goal is worth catching on Sportscene later.
A lovely finish. His eighth goal of an impressive season.
Rangers 1-0 Aberdeen
Wonder what's going through Neil Warnock's mind at the moment.
Looks like he's trying to rally the troops as his new side look caught in the headlights at Ibrox.
It's been quite the introduction to Scottish football.
Rangers 1-0 Aberdeen
Big shouts for a Rangers penalty.
A corner comes in and the ball bounces up on to the arm of Nicky Devlin.
He can't do anything about it so we play on.
Rangers 1-0 Aberdeen
Remember Rangers go top tonight with a win by three goals.
It looks like that's at the forefront of the players' minds.
Relentless stuff.
Motherwell 2-0 Ross County
Theo Bair thought it was third time lucky!
Yet again County are caught napping and he slips away in behind.
This time the striker smashes it into the top corner, but the flag is up for offside.
VAR checks, and confirms it is offside. Why are Ross County not adjusting to the clear tactic of playing Bair in behind?!
Rangers 1-0 Aberdeen
Aberdeen can't deal with Rangers' intensity.
Rangers 1-0 Aberdeen
Rangers have a record of W16, D0, L0 when scoring the opening goal in the Scottish Premiership this season.
Ominous for the Dons.

Willie Miller
Former Aberdeen captain on BBC Sportsound
Kelle Roos puts it on a plate for Rabbi Matondo.
I do not think it is a particularly good strike - at the very least Roos has got to put it out towards the byeline.
It is right in front of Matondo, he could do nothing else but put it in the back of the net.
Roos has been a little bit suspect in recent games - that was a major mistake from him.
Rangers 1-0 Aberdeen
Steven Thompson
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
That goes down as a goalkeeping error. A big mistake from Kelle Roos.
He palms it straight out into the path of Matondo. He's got to do more.
Blair Spittal
Great finish.
Georgie Gent plays it to Andy Halliday who slips in Spittal.
The midfielder curls one in off the post. Wonderful finish and Motherwell are in total control now.
Motherwell 1-0 Ross County
Theo Bair, how many clear cut chances do you want?!
Again he's clean through. He tries to go around goalkeeper George Wickens, but he makes the stop.
Rabbi Matondo
Kelle Roos won't want to see that again.
The Aberdeen keeper parries Ross McCausland's shot straight to Rabbi Matondo, who thunders in the rebound at the back post.
It's been electric stuff from Rangers.
Motherwell 1-0 Ross County
Ross County are trying to get back into the game.
George Harmon prods the ball to Simon Murray, whose low shot is saved by Liam Kelly at his near post.
Rangers 0-0 Aberdeen
Rangers slice through Aberdeen but Todd Cantwell's cutback to Cyriel Dessers is cut out brilliantly by Richard Jensen.
Rangers 0-0 Aberdeen
Aberdeen aren't sitting back.
They're trying to press Rangers high and their defensive line isn't deep at all.
Rangers 0-0 Aberdeen
A corner within the first 30 seconds for Rangers as Nicky Devlin slides in on Rabbi Matondo.
James Tavernier bends it in but John Lundstram is always stretching for it.
Rangers 0-0 Aberdeen
And we're off in Govan.
Neil Warnock's Aberdeen era begins.
Motherwell 1-0 Ross County
What a chance for Theo Bair.
The Motherwell striker is clean through on goal, but takes ages to get his shot away and George Wickens closes down the angle and makes a good save.
Bair has five goals in his last four league games, so you'd expect him to do better there.
Rangers v Aberdeen (20:00)
The players are about to emerge from the tunnel at Ibrox.
Motherwell 1-0 Ross County
That's Andy Halliday's first goal since a brace for Hearts against Motherwell in November 2022.
He's redeemed himself with the Fir Park faithful.
