McDougall would be proud
HT: Aberdeen 1-0 Livingston
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at Pittodrie
The great Frank McDougall getting a round of applause as he takes to the pitch at the break at Pittodrie.
The former Aberdeen striker would himself have been proud of that Bojan Miovski finish that gives the home side the lead.
Killie risk-taking pays off
HT: Kilmarnock 1-0 Motherwell
Jane Lewis
BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park
Killie sent striker Christian Doidge up the tunnel with blood streaming from his nose rather than make a sub as half time approached.
Motherwell piled on the pressure with an extra man on the pitch but couldn't take advantage.
It was a bit of a risk and I can just imagine the reaction of the Killie fans had Motherwell equalised.
HALF-TIME St Johnstone 0-0 St Mirren
The outlook of this game changed drastically in the final throes of the first-half as Daniel Phillips had his yellow card upgraded to a red.
The St Johnstone midfielder didn't mean to catch Ryan Flynn as high as he did - he was just trying to control the ball - but it's a potential leg-breaker.
Before the final few minutes, there hadn't been many chances.
St Mirren now have a man advantage and, if they can find a goal, the Buddies could move themselves up to fourth place.

HALF-TIME Ross County 2-0 Dundee United
The home side are well on top in this basement battle.
Eamonn Brophy profited from a horrible mix-up to shoot County in front, with Yan Dhanda adding a second goal inside the opening 15 minutes.
United centre-half Charlie Mulgrew won't want to see either of those again.
County have also hit the post twice, while United have done next to nothing.

HALF-TIME Kilmarnock 1-0 Motherwell
Kilmarnock go into the break in the lead in this relegation six-pointer.
Scott Robinson scrambled in the only goal after Motherwell failed to clear their lines.
The visitors are fortunate it's just 1-0. They've been second best throughout.

Post update
Kilmarnock 1-0 Motherwell
Blair Spittal drills a volley into the Rugby Park pitch and for a minute it looks like the ball is going to drop into the far corner, but centre-half Ash Taylor heads away.
RED CARD - Daniel Phillips
St Johnstone 0-0 St Mirren
Oh that is a nasty one.
It's really unfortunate - there's no malice in it at all - but Daniel Phillips catches Ryan Flynn flush on his leg - above the ankle - as he tries to swivel the ball away from the St Mirren midfielder.
Malice or not, it's a red card for the home midfielder.
GOAL PETERHEAD 1-1 Kelty Hearts 1
Jack Wilkie
Ouch!
Kilmarnock 1-0 Motherwell
Sore one for Christian Doidge, who takes a knock to the head when trying to win a header in the Motherwell box.
The physios are on cleaning up some blood on the Killie striker's face.
GOAL Aberdeen 1-0 Livingston
Bojan Miovski
Clinical finish!
A great ball in from Ross McCrorie finds Matty Pollock, who manages to knock the ball down for Bojan Miovski, and Aberdeen's main man strikes it first time into the roof of the net.
This game needed a goal, and there it is, right before half-time.

Post update
St Johnstone 0-0 St Mirren
St Mirren full-back Thierry Small barges forward, finds Tony Watt on the edge of the area and the striker curls inches past the goalkeeper's left-hand post.
We might even have a goal before half-time!
Post update
Ross County 2-0 Dundee United
United striker Steven Fletcher steers a header on target from a high, looping cross. An easy take for goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw though.
GREAT SAVE!
St Johnstone 0-0 St Mirren
On-loan Celtic left-back Adam Montgomery clips the ball to the back post, Saints striker Stevie May pushes a header across the St Mirren goalkeeper, but Trevor Carson punches the ball away.
It's all happening as we edge towards half-time!
Set-piece danger
Kilmarnock 1-0 Motherwell
Jane Lewis
BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park
Motherwell have been struggling with Killie's set pieces in this one.
Yes, they've been decent deliveries, Danny Armstrong can whip in a ball from the wing alright, but there's an argument the Motherwell defence and Liam Kelly in goal could be more alert to the danger.
HITS THE WOODWORK
St Johnstone 0-0 St Mirren
St Mirren go close, completely by accident.
Midfielder Ryan Strain tries to cross, the ball bobbles up and he shins it - but the ball loops up and hits the bar!
Post update
Ross County 2-0 Dundee United
Craig Sibbald tries his luck from 20 yards and Steven Fletcher helps the shot on with a flick of his heel, but County keeper Ross Laidlaw is down smartly to smother the ball.
