We have a couple of derby crackers coming up tomorrow.
Celtic host Rangers at 12:30, the two Dundee teams meeting at Tannadice at 15:00.
As ever, we'll have it all covered.
Thanks for your company today.
FT: Kilmarnock 1-1 Hibernian
Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "No, I don't think we've seen it coming [Kilmarnock's equaliser] in terms of how dominant I felt we were in the game, how good a performance we put in.
"But at this level, at any level, you have to go right to the very end of the game and Kilmarnock are always going to have periods within the game.
"I thought throughout it we stood up to that really well, created the best chances, and right now it probably feels like two points dropped.
"But it could still be a massive point as well moving forward because this is a real difficult place to come.
"The surface is difficult, it's tricky to play on, but I thought the players showed real bravery and confidence on the ball and I think we've reacted in a positive way to a negative weekend last week [Scottish Cup exit to Celtic].

FT: Motherwell 2-2 St Mirren
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "It was an opportunity wasted.
"Motherwell had two shots the whole game and scored both, had no corners, we didn't feel they were any threat whatsoever but managing the game has been a problem for us.
"We had other opportunities - even when down to 10 men - and didn't take them. It's two points dropped."
On Toyosi Olusanya's red card, Robinson says: "I'm a million miles away from that decision, it looked to me like two people colliding. It looked it was just a coming together of two people running at pace.
"We showed great character and were the better team even when down to 10 men, as we were all day."

FT: Motherwell 2-2 St Mirren
Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland: "A draw is okay. The first 25-30 minutes, they had more energy and more power.
"The character was very good after going 2-0 down. In the end, we missed a chance to be more bold and create more chances.
"It was so tight and so tough, but we gave them a fight and were ready for the duels. The spectators saw 114 minutes of power football."

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin tells BBC Scotland: "I think the result reflects the game.
"I thought both teams defended well and we missed a little bit of extra quality. I think the result is fair but we need to do more to deserve to win, create more chances to get a winning goal. Today was not enough.
"The opponent did their job well, defended well and so did we but it was not enough. We had a really big away support who pushed us but we have to do more.
"We have to take this point. We have a clean sheet, defensively we did well but we need to do more to get the three points. Hopefully it's going to be a good point when we sum up everything."

It will be interesting to see how Hearts evolve after another transfer window for Neil Critchley. There's a good squad there, but it's imbalanced and has been for a long time.
It wasn't convincing today but it's a victory and that's all that's important at this stage of the season. Top six is the be all and end all so they can challenge for third.

Rory Loy
Former Dundee striker on BBC Sportsound
Hibs were the masters of their own downfall. They got into lots of good positions but decision-making or a poor touch let them down. If they had been more switched on in the second half they could have really punished Kilmarnock.
The Kilmarnock goal came out of nowhere and Derek McInnes will feel his team got away with one.
FT: St Johnstone 0-0 Aberdeen
St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari: "I think everyone saw it was a very tight game, not much between the teams.
"We had our chance in the first half, we defended against a very dangerous attacking force.
"It's a step forward. We have lost these matches earlier. If we cannot win it let's take the point and it's one point gained.
"We came here to win, we need to win but if we cannot win we take the point and you never know how valuable it will be at the end of the season."
Image source, SNSHearts leapfrog Motherwell into sixth place, while St Mirren edge above Ross County in the scrap to make the top half of the table.
The split is three games away for that quartet, with four points covering them.
No change in the race for third as Hibs and Aberdeen both draw on their travels.
A spot of deja vu for the Edinburgh side who gave away a late equaliser on their last visit to Rugby Park.
Dundee United will hope to profit tomorrow when they entertain neighbours Dundee.
A win for Jim Goodwin's men would lift them above the Dons and level with Hibs.
What a battle at Fir Park.
Four goals, a red card, and an injury time period stretching into double figures.
St Mirren raced into a 2-0 lead when Caolan Boyd-Munce and Killian Phillips netted from the edge of the box.
Callum Slattery quickly pulled one back for Motherwell, before his second levelled things up on 71 minutes,.
Boyd-Munce was stretchered off after a serious injury, and Toyosi Olusanya was shown a second yellow card after clattering Dan Casey late on.
Motherwell slip out of the top six, but maintain their three-point buffer above St Mirren.

It ends all square at McDiarmid Park which, over the 90 minutes, is probably a fair result.
A point suits the Saints more than the Dons as they move within two of Dundee at the bottom of the table before their massive derby tomorrow.
Aberdeen fail to make ground on Hibs and can be overtaken by Dundee United if they emerge victorious at Tannadice.

Callum Slattery's double earned Motherwell an important point
Motherwell dropped out of the Scottish Premiership top six despite scrapping back from two goals down to draw against St Mirren.
With each side gunning for a spot in the upper half of the table, this was a shootout of attacking endeavour, spectacle and incident.
The visitors, who had not beaten Motherwell since September 2023, cantered into a two-goal lead, with the speed and power of their forward line pivotal.
Toyosi Olusanya bustled into the home box and cut back for Caolan Boyd-Munce, whose 20-yard effort took a wild deflection en route to the net.
Killian Phillips slammed home the second after Marcus Fraser's looping delivery found him on the edge of the area. A cushion on the chest, and a swipe of his left boot later, St Mirren doubled up.
Within 90 seconds, Motherwell responded. Ellery Balcome whacked downfield, where Callum Slattery beat Alex Gogic to the ball, then bamboozled Alex Iacovitti before stabbing beautifully beyond Zach Hemming.
Gogic and new Scotland call-up Lennon Miller menaced in either box before the interval, but the second half delivered fewer opportunities and more chaos.
Boyd-Munce was carried off after a sickening aerial clash. Ellery Balcombe wiped out team-mate Liam Gordon and Olusanya as he raced out to clear.
Slattery, however, provided another telling moment.
Latching on to a ricocheted Tony Watt knockdown, he flashed, first time, low into the net from 18 yards.
Olusanya continued to career around the Motherwell half and, already on a yellow card, he thundered into Dan Casey. Referee Grant Irvine brandished another.
In a chaotic endgame, 14 minutes of additional time were played, but Motherwell could not stun their depleted guests.
Gogic had the best opening in the dying embers, arrowing a header into the Davie Cooper Stand from a corner.
Slattery's goals keep Motherwell three points clear of St Mirren, though they fall one behind sixth-placed Hearts in the quest to reach the top half.
In the early throes of Michael Wimmer's rein, Motherwell are playing attractive football, with teenage kingpin Miller their fulcrum in the middle of the paddock.
What they needed - and lacked for spells of this contest - was a ruthless streak when they worked their way into the attacking third.
How Slattery provided it; his two finishes predatory and precious in equal measure.
The first was sumptuously created and clinically finished. The second opportunistic and instinctive, running on to the ball and sweeping it in.
Slattery's goals will hearten Wimmer, though he will harbour frustrations over how easily his team were opened up by St Mirren's direct passes into the channels and the physicality of their front two.
In some senses, this was a clash of styles. Where Motherwell relied on the intricacy and accuracy of their passing game, St Mirren looked to spring their explosive frontmen early and often.
Shorn of the injured Mikael Mandron, Jonah Ayunga was deployed alongside Olusanya, and the two were a potent cocktail of pace, panache and skill.
Ayunga bossed the aerial exchanges and showed flashes of class with his link-up play, often looking to introduce the energetic Ryan Alebiosu down the right flank.
Olusanya, linked with Rangers this week, has the raw speed and all-action style to fluster defences. He also plays with full-blooded dynamism.
Irvine clearly saw the speed of the challenge and the damage wrought upon Casey, but a second yellow seemed harsh on the striker.
It was a telling combination, if not quite a winning one.
Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer: "A draw is okay. The first 25-30 minutes, they had more energy and more power.
"The character was very good after going 2-0 down. In the end, we missed a chance to be more bold and create more chances.
"The spectators saw 114 minutes of power football."
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: "It was an opportunity wasted.
"Motherwell had two shots the whole game and scored both, had no corners, we didn't feel they were any threat whatsoever but managing the game has been a problem for us.
"I'm a million miles away from that decision [to send off Olusanya], it looked to me like it was just a coming together of two people running at pace.
"We showed great character and were the better team even when down to 10 men, as we were all day."

Motherwell have won both of their two league meetings with St. Mirren this season, last winning three in a row against the Buddies in April 2015.
St. Mirren have only won one of their last seven away league games at Motherwell (D2 L4), a 1-0 victory in September 2023.
Motherwell are looking to win three successive league games for the first time since September 2023 under Stuart Kettlewell.
Although St. Mirren have only won two of their last 10 league matches (D1 L7), both of those wins have come away from home (v Aberdeen in January & Rangers in February).
A league-high 65% of Motherwell’s goals in the Scottish Premiership this season have been scored in the first half of games (22/34). On the other hand, St. Mirren have conceded the lowest ratio in first halves of any side in the division this term at 36% (17/47).
