1618: Hibs are swarming all over the Aberdeen penalty area and keeper Jamie Langfield gets fingertips to a raking shot from Derek Riordan.
1617: Hearts striker Christian Nade is being stretchered off after an inocuous challenge. It seems like he went over on his own ankle and is replaced with Gary Glen.

1615:
From JodyMorris4England on My Sport "RE 1609: Anyone at McDiarmid Park who has watched us at all this season saw that coming. If you don't take your chances in the SPL, you get punished. Not sure how many times we are going to have to learn that lesson this season"
1613: Groans from the home fans at McDiarmid Park. Falkirk have come roaring back into this game and you wouldn't bet on them grabbing another.

1610: GOAL Motherwell 1-0 Hearts (Ross Forbes)

1606: Motherwell winger Jim O'Brien fires just wide from the edge of the box as Hearts start the second half on the back foot.
1604: Kilmarnock striker Kevin Kyle sends a header just over the bar - much more like it from the visitors. Whatever Jim Jefferies said at half-time must have had an effect.

1602: We're back under way at the other four SPL games.
1601:

From QatarBoy on My Sport "Celtic need to get that third goal and kill the contest. The defence still looks ropey and if Killie pull one back they could get right back in the game"
1547: Aberdeen make a rare sortie up the park in the last of the first half action, with Lee Miller picking out Maurice Ross racing into the penalty box but the defender gets the ball caught under his feet and Ian Murray is across to clear.
1546:
Half-time Celtic 2-0 Kilmarnock
1545: Aberdeen defender Jerel Ifil takes a poor touch on a ball over over the top from Benjelloun but Anthony Stokes is dozing and can't take advantage of the slip. The Irish forward then bustles forward and sends an angled shot high and wide from 14 yards.
1543:
Martin Canning's deflected effort from Marco Paixao's corner doubles Hamilton's lead. Accies in dreamland!
1542: GOAL! St Mirren 0-2 Hamilton (Martin Canning)
1541: Kilmarnock force a corner at Celtic Park and will be looking to reduce the deficit before the break... but Kevin Kyle heads wide of an open goal after Zaluska flaps unconvincingly at a cross. A howler from the Killie hitman!
1540: Motherwell goalkeeper John Ruddy started after all despite suggestions that he had been injured during the warm-up. It is sub goalkeeper Seb Kosiorowski who is missing, with Michael Fraser taking his place on the bench. Ruddy hasn't shown any signs of the suspected groin injury so far.
1538: "The referee is having an absolute shocker," BBC Radio Scotland summariser Stevie Cowan is not impressed with card-happy Steven Nicholls at Easter Road.
1537: Despite dominating the game at McDiarmid Park, St Johnstone only have Collin Samuel's goal to show for their superiority. Falkirk manager Eddie May would be happy to get his charges to half-time without conceding another goal.
1535: Hamilton goalkeeper Tomas Cerny produces a great reaction save as St Mirren almost snatch an equaliser through Andy Dorman.
1533: Giles Coke misses a great chance for Motherwell as he fails to find the target with his header and team-mate Steven Saunders can only steer the ball against the Hearts post.
1532: Great work from Anthony Stokes sets up a chance for Kurtis Byrne but Aberdeen defender Ricky Foster zooms across to make a vital block. From the corner Sol Bamba's header hits the turf and bounces over the crossbar.
1531:
Celtic are getting a lot of joy down the right-hand side against Kilmarnock, and Andreas Hinkel sends in a cracker of a cross which Georgios Samaras buries past Cameron Bell with a bullet header.
1529: "Celtic should be maybe 3-0 up right now." BBC Scotland pundit Murdo MacLeod at Celtic Park.
1528: "Credit to Hamilton, they're pressing well and frustrating the St Mirren midfield." BBC Scotland pundit Craig Brown at St Mirren Park.
1526: Hamilton midfielder James McArthur forces Paul Gallacher into a fine save after firing in a rasping 35-yard drive.
1525: Kilmarnock goalkeeper Cameron Bell denies Scott McDonald with a point-blank save from a couple of yards after the pint-sized Australian international was found by Georgios Samaras. What a save!
1524: Motherwell earn their fifth corner when Hearts goalkeeper Janos Balogh tips a Shaun Hutchinson header over the crossbar. But neither goalkeeper has been seriously threatened yet at Fir Park.
1523: Benjelloun gets his head to a driven free kick from Liam Miller but the Hibs striker's effort sails wide.
1522: Aiden McGeady fires across an inviting ball inside the penalty area but Landry N'Guemo, sliding in at the back post, fails to connect.
1520: "The sting's been taken out of the game here, and that'll suit Killie." BBC Scotland commentator Liam McLeod
1518: St Johnstone have penned Falkirk in their own half and it seems only a matter of time before the hosts double their lead... What's the bet the Bairns find an equaliser?
1517: Meroune Zemmama limps out of the action at Easter Road, with teenage forward Kurtis Byrne coming on for Hibs.
1516: Claims for a penalty at Fir Park are waved away by referee Dougie Somers when Jim O'Brien goes to ground under a challenge from Ismael Bouzid. It is the third time O'Brien has gone down looking for something and there are only 15 minutes gone.
1515: The Hibs front four are pinging the ball around nicely. Anthony Stokes has been in behind the Aberdeen defence but a clumsy first touch allowed Charlie Mulgrew to clear.
1514: "It was very tight but it just shows you the confidence he has in his own pace to slow play right down then burst past the defender." BBC Scotland pundit Murdo MacLeod at Celtic Park on Aiden McGeady's opener for Celtic.
1512: Hibs trickster Merouane Zemmama is booked for simulation, hurdling to avoid a challenge some 35 yards from goal. A rather harsh decision...
1512:
Celtic break the deadlock with a well-taken goal by Aiden McGeady. The winger dances past the challenge of Craig Bryson and arrows a shot in off the post past the helpless Bell.
1511: GOAL Celtic 1-0 Kilmarnock (Aiden McGeady)
1509: Kilmarnock captain Kevin Kyle is flattened by goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska as they contest a high ball. The striker gives a hefty blow of his cheeks as he gingerly gets back to his feet. Kilmarnock don't want to lose their talismanic figure.
1508: Celtic are showing plenty of endeavour in the early stages but have so far failed to find the net. Kilmarnock are weathering the early storm.
1507: Falkirk defender Jackie McNamara is replaced by Carl Finnegan. The veteran has failed to recover from the whack he sustained trying to prevent Samuel opening the scoring for St Johnstone.
1505: Marco Paixao gives Accies an early lead at St Mirren Park as he shows a cool head to fire home from six yards.
1504: GOAL St Mirren 0-1 Hamilton (Marco Paixao)
1503:

1502: GOAL St Johnstone 1-0 Falkirk (Collin Samuel)
1500: Misfiring Celtic striker dithers on the edge of the area and his shot is blocked by the Kilmarnock defence. We're under way across the country.

1455: BREAKING TEAM NEWS. Motherwell lose goalkeeper John Ruddy before a ball is kicked. Seb Kosiorowski is set to take his place after Ruddy was injured during the warm-up at Fir Park. It is not clear as yet whether Motherwell will have a replacement keeper on the bench.
1439: We've got a minor problem with the automatic refresh at the moment folks, so if you could manually refresh for the moment, thanks.
1426: Celtic manager Tony Mowbray has just told BBC Scotland he is confident of improving the quality of his playing squad while producing winning football. "The players know the demands here and the supporters expect us to win every game but that's not always possible," he said.
1419: BBC Sport's Chick Young is telling Sportsound listeners to brace themselves for further tough financial times ahead following their respective clubs.
1417:
From DiegoforUtd on My Sport "Some good matches in store for us today. Every match can be seen as an important six-pointer!"
1416: Motherwell make two changes from the side that lost 3-0 to St Mirren in midweek. Stephen Craigan seems to have incurred manager Jim Gannon's wrath again and drops out along with Jamie Murphy. Ross Forbes and John Sutton are the guys coming into the starting line-up against Hearts.
1415: Some team news for Hearts fans from Fir Park. The Jambos are without captain Michael Stewart with an ankle injury, the man who scored the Co-operative Insurance Cup winner against Celtic in midweek, is replaced with Eggert Jonsson in midfield.

Defender Glenn Loovens comes in for the suspended Stephen McManus. Paddy McCourt starts at the expense of Shaun Maloney, Scott McDonald and Georgios Samaras come in for Zheng Zhi and Chris Killen.
1358: Recent history points to a share of the spoils at Easter Road. Aberdeen have taken a point from five of their last six league visits at Hibernian.
1357: St Johnstone and Falkirk last met in a Scottish Cup fourth round tie in 2007, with the Perth side, then in the First Division, enjoying a 3-0 away win.
1355: You have to go back to December 1955 for the last time Kilmarnock won a league game at Celtic Park. David Curlett fired a double in a 2-0 win for the Ayrshire club. Bill Haley and his Comets were number 1 in the charts with Rock Around The Clock and cinema-goers were flocking to see Lady and the Tramp, and Oklahoma.
League leaders Celtic host Kilmarnock, it's Hibs against Aberdeen, Motherwell face Hearts, St Johnstone take on Falkirk and St Mirren entertain Hamilton.
1350: Good afternoon and welcome to week 10 of the Scottish Premier League season. We've got five games to get our teeth into today.
