    What a start to this match, you can barely hear yourself think! Terrifically cool penalty despatched straight down the middle by the green boot of Danny Armstrong. What a season he and Kilmarnock are having.

    Super stuff at rainy Rugby Park so far, with chances at both ends before the goal went in.

    Celtic 1-0 Dundee

    Big chance for Celtic to double their lead, but Matt O'Riley's low shot is saved by the legs of Trevor Carson.

    Hearts 0-0 Hibernian

    Hibs have had 65% of the ball in the opening 10 minutes. The visitors are by far the better team at present.

    Danny Armstrong (pen)

    Straight down the middle.

    Armstrong won the penalty, his left-foot cross from the right striking the arm of John Lundstram mid-jump.

    It's a cool finish, rolling low into the centre of the net with Jack Butland leaping to his right.

  6. 'Livi need points on the board'published at 19:57 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February

    Livingston v Motherwell (20:00)

    Two teams desperate for points and two teams both looking to recover from stoppage time heartache at the weekend.

    Livi thought they had earned a point against Ross County in Dingwall, only for County to snatch an injury-time winner, and Motherwell looked to have earned a hard-earned point against Celtic at Fir Park only for the champions to snatch the victory with two goals in time added on.

    Seven points adrift at the bottom with 11 games remaining, Livi need to start getting points on the board soon if they are to give themselves any chance of staying up, and ideally for them that starts tonight.

    Motherwell are only three points above Ross County in that relegation playoff spot so three points here would be massive for them too.

    A lot on the line here this evening.

    Aberdeen 0-0 St Johnstone

    Both teams have had early forays into the opposition box, but it's St Johnstone who create the first chance. Diallang Jaiysemi whips a cross across the face of goal but there are no takers. That was close to going straight in.

  9. CLOSE!published at 19:56 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Rangers

    Another set-piece opportunity, this time for Kilmarnock.

    A vicious swerving corner is met at the near post by the racing Liam Donnelly, who sees his header whistle just wide.

  10. 'Well have to 'play the occasion' - Kettlewellpublished at 19:55 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February

    Livingston v Motherwell (20:00)

    Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell tells BBC Scotland: "We have not spoken too much about it [defeat to Celtic] which is a slightly different approach for myself.

    "We are massive on analysing every performance but I just see this game being so different.

    "The pitch is always a different challenge, a surface Livingston know very well so I think we have to prepare for that in itself.

    "I think if we’d have done anything else with regards to the Celtic game it becomes wasted energy.

    "If we pick up three points it is a brilliant three points. We have to play the occasion, play the moments and manage the moments in the game.

    "Sometimes in this environment the games can be frantic and we have to brace ourselves to be composed within that and handle the threat that Livingston can pose."

    Livingston v Motherwell (20:00)

    Livingston manager David Martindale tells BBC Scotland: "We are over it [the Ross County defeat].

    "Everybody knows the situation we are in, we are not oblivious to that fact.

    "All we can do is play the game of football and move onto the next one.

    "I think it will be a difficult game of football, they are above us in the league for a reason.

    "They have got a huge attacking threat in their game, they score goals but they leak goals as well and we need to capitalise on that. I'm stating the obvious here but we need to keep them out of our goal as well.

    [On Bruce Anderson making the starting XI]: "When Bruce starts scoring goals, I make sure he is in the team because the one thing he will give you is that when he scores he’ll get one in the next game."

    Celtic lead through their first effort at goal.

    Matt O'Riley whips a free-kick to the back post, and Cameron Carter-Vickers powers his header past a helpless Trevor Carson.

    The perfect start for Brendan Rodgers' side.

    Welcome to the Edinburgh derby, Emiliano Marcondes.

    Calem Nieuwenhof crunches into the Hibs midfielder and wins the ball fairly.

  14. CLOSE!published at 19:53 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Rangers

    A couple of decent early chances for Rangers.

    Fabio Silva diverts a smart Ross McCausland ball goalwards, but it's deflected just wide by Lewis Mayo.

    From the ensuing corner, Connor Goldson has a free header and his powered effort his beaten clear by goalkeeper Will Dennis.

    Hearts 0-0 Hibernian

    Bright Hibs start as Myziane Maolida's dangerous cross almost finds Rocky Bushiri.

    The resulting corner is worked cleverly to Joe Newell, whose goal-bound shot hits a team-mate then goes wide.

  16. 'History on the line for Kilmarnock'published at 19:49 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February

    Kilmarnock 0-0 Rangers

    There's a little piece of history on the line for the home side this evening. The Killie fans have seen some fine performances from their team this season, and we think that if another one gives them victory once more tonight, it will be the first time Kilmarnock have ever beaten Celtic and Rangers twice in the same season.

    They've already knocked Brendan Rodgers' team out of the League Cup and beaten them in the Premiership, while back on day one of the campaign Michael Beale's Rangers were beaten 1-0. Seems like an eternity ago, right?

    Aberdeen v St Johnstone (19:45)

    There will be a minute's applause at Pittodrie to remember former Aberdeen captain Harry Melrose.

    The winger played for the Dons between 1965–1969 after making his name at Dunfermline Athletic.

  19. 'Two sides with hot stats'published at 19:43 Greenwich Mean Time 28 February

    Rangers have been like a relentless juggernaut lately. Ten wins in a row in all competitions; 17 victories from the last 18 games. The form of champions, if they can sustain it.

    Manager Philippe Clement has plenty of respect for the Kilmarnock stats which make for pretty good reading too. Just the one defeat in their last 14 - and that was at Ibrox. They've got three wins and a draw in their last four; four wins and a draw in their last five here at Rugby Park.

    "It wouldn't be the greatest shock if we got a result tonight," Derek McInnes told me pre-match. He's not wrong.

    Celtic v Dundee (19:45)

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be hoping to see his side get off to a strong start.

    He talked about some anxiety creeping in during the first half at Fir Park on Sunday. But at home tonight he’ll be wanting to see high tempo and intensity right from the off.

    The visitors admitted they were poor in their first half too against Hibs at the weekend. But Dundee boss Tony Docherty has belief in his side, saying they’re capable of taking points away from Glasgow.

    If it’s all three points he’s after, his side will need to do something the Dundee club hasn't managed in 20 visits to the east end of Glasgow.
