1700: That's all folks. Join me again tomorrow for that endlessly fascinating fixture, the Old Firm derby, at Celtic Park.
I'm certainly not anticipating a post-Valentine's Day love-in as the reigning SPL champions welcome old foes Rangers to Parkhead...with the Ibrox men breathing down Celtic's neck at the top of the tree we're all set for a tantalising battle royale...set your alarm clocks for high noon...
1659: St Mirren can count themselves unfortunate to lose a late equalising goal against Falkirk. It will be interesting to see that Jack Ross penalty incident on TV. You'll be able to check that out, and the rest of today's games on this very website from 1800 GMT tomorrow.
Two sweet-as-a-nut goals from Christian Nade and Darren Mackie at Tynecastle to look out for too.
1658: "We'll be lucky to finish in the top six never mind Europe given that inept second half showing! Hearts deserved the three points." chillscot on My Sport Join the debate
I presume you're referring to the not-so-dandy Dons? Jimmy Calderwood's men threw everything but the kitchen sink at Hearts in the closing minutes of today's match but a late leveller eluded them...
1657: David Clarkson's solitary strike proved enough to bring Hamilton's victory bandwagon to a shuddering halt. Billy Reid's side lose for the first time in 2009 in a ludicrously uneventful Lanarkshire derby.
Victory for Mark McGhee's side extends their unbeaten run to nine games as they look to cement a place in the top six.
1656: Killie merited a share of the spoils today but they are still without a home win since mid-November. The only thing predictable about Hibs is their unpredicability.
1655: Killie goalkeeping coach Billy Thomson is forced to restrain a seething Billy Brown after the final whistle at Rugby Park. Jim Jefferies' assistant is going ballistic at the referee. What's going on there?
1653: The final whistle toots across the country. It's all over bar the shouting.
1651: Full-time at Tynecastle and Hearts soar into third place after their stirring victory over Aberdeen, leapfrogging Dundee United in the process, who were held to a 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Inverness CT.
1649: Chris Maguire hits the post as Aberdeen come agonisingly close to levelling at Tynecastle. The elusive spheroid pinballs about the danger area before being hoofed clear by a frantic Hearts defence.
1648: Gilt-edged chance for a winning goal squandered by Inverness' Andis Shala. He turns the United defence inside out and engineers space for a shot on the edge of the box but leans back at the crucial moment and balloons the ball wildly over the bar.
1647: Four minutes of stoppage time at Tannadice with the sides locked at 1-1.
1645: Goal! St Mirren 2-2 Falkirk Baby-faced Bairn Scott Arfield steps up and wellies the ball past Smith for a priceless equaliser.
1644: Penalty at St Mirren Park. And it's for Falkirk. Jack Ross is deemed to have handled the ball in the box. Mike Tumilty ignores his protestations that the ball struck his shoulder and points to the spot.
1642: Aberdeen substitute Tommy Wright has a shot deflected wide as the visitors search in vain for an equaliser.
1641: Killie keeper Alan Combe makes a brilliant save to keep out Sol Bamba's powerful daisy-cutter from 14 yards.
1640: Goal! St Mirren 2-1 Falkirk That man Andy Dorman strikes again, smashing the ball into the roof of the net from 12 yards to restore St Mirren's lead.
1638: This is uncanny! As soon as I stick in some chat from Scott Davie about a team's chances of scoring a goal they go and bloomin' well do it! Is he some kind of seer? Is he controlling me like a sinister distant puppetmeister? Am I Scott Davie's Manchurian Candidate?
1637: Goal! Kilmarnock 1-1 Hibernian A terrible mistake from Paul Hanlon allows Jamie Hamill a shooting opportunity and the Killie midfielder curls in a sweet strike to level the game.
1636: Goal! Dundee United 1-1 Inverness CT United grab a bizarre equaliser courtesy of Lee Wilkie. The hulking defender manages to poke the ball across the line from a yard out with Ryan Esson fumbling the ball. 1634: "United's chances will come - but if they're too frantic or impatient, they won't be able to take advantage of them." BBC Scotland pundit Brian Irvine
1632: "Re 1614: I agree with starkyboy. Bullen is like a dinosaur at the back, shockingly slow!" Lanky-ffc on My Sport Join the debate
Bullen is as slow as an obese tortoise on mogadon wading through a vat of treacle...
1630: Can Terry Butcher's 10-man Caley Thistle hang on to their slender lead?
1628:Sending off! An early bath for Russell Duncan as he deservedly gets a straight red card for that so-called 'professional foul.' United completely waste the resultant set-piece.
1627: Danny Swanson explodes through the heart of the Inverness defence and is cynically scythed by Russell Duncan as he homes in on goal.
1626: "Re 1612: Anadromous? - And I'm an English teacher!" chillscot on My Sport Join the debate
I don't know where I plucked that one from!!
1625: The over-excited Driver is then booked for stage-diving into the delighted Hearts crowd behind the goal.
1623: Goal! Hearts 2-1 Aberdeen The Jambos take the lead for the first time in the game as fleet-footed wingerAndrew Driver bullets a header into the bottom corner.
1622: It's dismal fare at Tannadice. The crowd are sitting like cardboard cut-outs of mute zombies.
1620: "Bruno Aguiar's starting to run the show." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson
1618: "Artificial pitches ? You're having a laugh, right?" pedro mendes govan cruisader on My Sport Join the debate
Yer darn tooting! That macker100 must be pulling our legs eh pedro?
1616: Aberdeen's Richard Foster is lucky to stay on the pitch after a flying Hong Kong Phooey-style karate kick on Christian Nade. Raging Hearts fans demand a straight red card for the Dons full-back but ref Charlie Richmond brandishes a yellow card in Foster's face.
Fuming Jambos boss Csaba Laszlo looks like he's going to pop a vein on his forehead as Nade receives treatment.
1614: "When will Yogi decide to take Lee Bullen out of the Falkirk side? He's past it and has cost us so many goals in the past six months with his scrappy defending." starkyboy1986 on My Sport Join the debate
Does John Hughes see something in the grizzled stopper we don't? What do Bairns fans reckon?
1612: Conor Sammon leaps like a err...well-known pink and silver tinged anadromous sea creature...to power in a header narrowly wide of the target. He'll be gutted at missing that. Kilmarnock have made a strong start to the second half.
1610: Janos Balogh dives low to save Zander Diamond's header as Aberdeen threaten to regain the lead at Tynecastle.
1609: "I'm having one of those mental blocks today - every time Zaluska goes for the ball, I keep calling him Zaliukas. I don't know what's happening, it's a bit of a mental block." BBC Scotland commentator Scott Davie gets his Poles and his Lithuanians mixed up.
1607: Christian Nade is booked for following through on Zander Diamond, much to the ire of Hearts manager Csaba Laszlo. Somewhat surprisingly that's the first yellow card of a tousy affair, with plenty of meaty challenges from both sides.
1605: And we're away again!
1603: Pat Nevin will be disappointed. Ross Chisholm replaces Rob Jones, with Sol Bamba moving back into central defence. Did the Hibs skipper get his noggin stuck to a fridge door?
Can Hibs hold on for just their second win in five years at Rugby Park?
1601: "I suspect Rob Jones has a metal head and there's a magnet in the ball." BBC Scotland summariser Pat Nevin has been impressed by Hibs captain's first half display.
1558: By the way, Motherwell's goal ended Accies' run of six hours and 56 minutes without conceding. Wow!
1557: "Hamilton can feel hard done by. They were the team dictating the play." BBC summariser Stevie Frail at Fir Park
1555: "If both pitches are in such a bad state maybe its time to look at artificial pitches again?" Macker100 on My Sport Join the debate
Oooh, I dunno about that! Have you ever played on one of those things? They're horrible. OK for training on but I don't fancy introducing them across the board for competitive football. What do you all think?
I played on the supposed 'state-of-the-art' plastic pitch that Dunfermline had a few seasons ago and it was dreadful. All you had to do was tap the ball and it would run for miles. It was a joke! And let's not forget the nasty carpet burns you get if you're loony enough to attempt a slide tackle...
1552: Phew! Half-time everywhere. Inverness and Motherwell hold the trump cards with the three other games even Stevens. What does that mean? Who is this 'Steven'? Welsh Elvis Shakin' Stevens perhaps?
1550: Why does that always happen in the SPL? Absolutely NOTHING, hee-haw, nada, zip happens for 44-and-a-half minutes and then suddenly, WHAM-BAM, three goals on the cusp of half-time! It drives me stark-raving mad, I tell thee!
1548: Goal! Kilmarnock 0-1Hibernian Vintage trickery from Derek Riordan as he flicks the ball over a defender and fires in a long range volley, which takes a huge deflection and completely wrong-foots Alan Combe in the Killie goal.
1547: Goal! Hearts 1-1 Aberdeen Christian Nade completes a superb three-man move involving Bruno Aguiar and David Obua by nodding in Hearts' equaliser.
1546: And the ref toots his whistle for half-time at Fir Park. Motherwell will be gleefully skipping down the tunnel for their tea and biscuits while Hamilton will be dejected at losing their proud defensive record.
1545: Goal! Motherwell 1-0 Hamilton The home side take the lead in that Lanarkshire derby on the stroke of half-time as David Clarkson sends an unstoppable shot past Tomas Cerny from 10 yards.
1544: Bruno Aguiar sets up Gary Glen for a shot but the young striker's effort is claimed by Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield.
1543: Hibs defender Chris Hogg deflects a Conor Sammon effort over the crossbar after good work from Kilmarnock midfielder Jamie Hamill.
1542: Odhiambo narrowly fails to replicate his earlier goal, again from a pin-point Imrie cross, as Zaluska pulls off a superb save.
1540: Incidentally, the towering Turk apparently makes Robert Wadlow look like Ronnie Corbett.
1539: Hearts are in dire needv of an out-and-out hit-man to lead their, currently non-existent, line of attack. Jambos boss Csaba Laszlo is super keen to land Turkish striker Ersen Martin at the second attempt after missing out on the 29-year-old during the January transfer window.
The German-born Martin, who holds Turkish citizenship, is his top target for the summer.
1537: Goal! St Mirren 1-1 Falkirk The Bairns draw level against the run of play with Carl Finnigan latching on to Dean Holden's flicked header to rifle the ball low past Smith.
1536: Lee Miller tests Janos Balogh with a stinging drive and Zander Diamond skies the rebound over the bar.
1535: "Dundee United are playing decent football but they're slow on the build-up and Caley Thistle are dealing with comfortably with any balls coming into the box." BBC Scotland pundit Brian Irvine
1534: "I expect we'll see new boy Vidal make his mark at Tynecastle for the Dons today." chillscot on My Sport Join the debate
Surely it's too late for eminent American man of letters Gore Vidal to embark on a nascent football career with Aberdeen?
1532: Apparently the playing surface at Fir Park is even worse than Tannadice. It looks like a bog.
1527: The pitch at Tannadice resembles a racecourse. Certain sections, which have been quagmired (is that a word?) by the recent snow fall in Dundee, would be better suited to cuddies than professional footballers.
1525: St Mirren debutant Mo Camara has returned to the field of play, after a brief soujourn to the touchline for a spot of physio, with the number missing from the back of his shirt! What's happened to it? He was donning a strip with squad number '24' at the start of the game. And now it's vanished.
1524: "That goal has knocked the stuffing out of United. It's silenced the players and their fans, but Caley are deservedly in the lead." BBC Scotland pundit Brian Irvine
It's all gone flat for Harry Potter's men at Tannadice.
1522: Goal! St Mirren 1-0 Falkirk First blood to the Buddies with their first real chance of the game. Andy Dorman arrows a sizzling shot through the legs of hapless Bairns keeper Dani Mallo from 12 yards.
1521: A rasping, long-range effort from John Rankin is well saved by Alan Combe before the next Hibs move sees Colin Nish stick the ball in the net. However, the big striker is ruled offside.
1520: Goal! Hearts 0-1 Aberdeen The Dons break the deadlock as Darren Mackie volleys into the back of the net from Charlie Mulgrew's cross for his sixth goal of the season.
1518: United race straight up the other end and go close to an immediate riposte from Francisco Sandaza's free-kick.
1516: Goal! Dundee United 0-1 Inverness CT Right on cue Eric Odhiambo pops up at the back post to head Dougie Imrie's curling cross past Zaluska.
1515: Aberdeen striker Lee Miller needs magic sponge treatment on a head wound after being caught by a flying boot as he attempted a diving header.
1514: "Caley Thistle needs goals from wherever they can get them, their goal difference is so bad." BBC Scotland commentator Scott Davie
1513: An error by Zander Diamond allows Christian Nade a sight at goal but the Hearts striker cannot find the net.
1512: Free-kick for Inverness. Ian Black pitches a high ball into the United box which is packed to the gunnels with expectant Caley Thistle players. But their heads fall in dejection and they swivel on their heels and run back towards their own half as Black's woeful set-piece is caught easily by Zaluska.
1510: Kilmarnock's lone striker Conor Sammon is struggling to hold the ball up and Hibs are doing all the early pressing at Rugby Park.
1508: "I think the next one to be a naughty boy will see a yellow card." BBC commentator Paul Mitchell at Tynecastle
A blood-and-thunder start to the game between Hearts and Aberdeen. Not one for the faint of heart.
1506: It's all United at Tannadice with Caley Thistle thus far stemming the incessant tide of tangerine shirts flooding into their 18-yard box.
1504: "Whenever I've seen Falkirk this season Lee Bullen has looked the weak link." BBC Scotland's Alasdair Lamont
1502: A breathless start at Tynecastle and Hearts goalie Janos Balogh is in the thick of the action as races off his line to hoof the ball clear as Darren Mackie bears in on goal.
1501: And we're off! Hold onto your hats! The game at Rugby Park has been slightly delayed as both sets of fans observe a minute's silence for former chairman Robert Lauchlan, who passed away this week..
1458: "Nice to see Caddis and Sheridan getting starts. Bad memories of Mo Camara, makes Lee Naylor seem like a rock at the back! Tyrone27 on My Sport Join the debate
1457: Falkirk are flirting dangerously with relegation, only four points ahead of Inverness at the foot of the table, and must pick up some points at St Mirren Park this afternoon.
1455: Five minutes until kick-off. Where are you all? get chatting here: Join the debate
1453: Yet another player with a Celtic connection, former Parkhead full-back Mo Camara, makes his first start for St Mirren this afternoon as the Buddies look to maintain their push for a first-ever top six SPL finish.
The Guinean internationalist has penned a deal until the end of the season, with the option of further 12 months at the new St Mirren Park.
The Buddies were looking to land a left-back and, when Ian Harte performed a bizarre U-turn after agreeing terms, gaffer Gus MacPherson moved to bring in Camara after he was released by Derby County.
1450: Paul Caddis, another Celtic player who has been farmed out on loan, makes his debut for Dundee United.
1449: And finally to Tannadice where, thankfully, there's been overnight thaw after Thursday's snow-fall had threatened today's match:
1443: Hearts' Eggert Jonsson is the absolute definition of that old football cliche the 'utility player.' Having already played at right-back, left-back and striker so far this season he slots into the centre of the Hearts defence today.
The cliche usually describes a player who is mediocre in more than one position but that doesn't apply to the talented young Icelander.
1441: Long-suffering Killie boss Jim Jefferies is, not for the first time, facing a striker crisis with the gloomy news that Allan Russell was ruled out for six months on Friday after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury and a torn cartilage during a training session.
It seems like it never rain but it pours at Rugby Park with Kevin Kyle and David Fernandez unavailable through suspension and Danny Invincible missing out with an ankle problem. Moroccan playmaker Mehdi Taouil is also suspended.
1440: Let's swoop over to Rugby Park to see how the teams line up in deepest, darkest Ayrshire:
1438: Motherwell are separated from local rivals Hamilton only by goal difference and know that a win this afternoon could move them above Hibernian and into the upper reaches of the table.
Mark McGhee's side are unbeaten in the eight games in all competitions since their December derby defeat, but Hamilton are in an even richer vein of form with six straight victories since the turn of the year.
1436: Here are the teams for Motherwell v Hamilton Accies:
1434: On-loan Celtic striker Cillian Sheridan will make his first start for Motherwell in the Lanarkshire derby at Fir Park.
1432: Early team news from Rugby Park: Scotland international Steven Fletcher is on the bench for Hibernian as they prepare to take on Kilmarnock. The Hibs striker was struggling with a knee injury but returned to training during the week, just in the nick of time to give Mixu Paatelainen another option in attack.
Perhaps the classy Fletcher could come off the bench and make an impact today? Let me hear your thoughts: Join the debate
1430: Roll up! Roll up! The Scottish Premier League circus is back in town for another Saturday sure to be jam-packed with thrills, spills and belly-laughs.
