Motherwell and Kilmarnock also record victories on a high-scoring day in Scotland's top flight.

1715: "I was standing in line with Daryl Murphy and he was a yard offside. We could've lost two goals before their second and that's what angered me most. I asked the referee for an apology after telling him the second goal was offside but I was sent to the stand."
Hearts manager Jim Jefferies

1708:From bringthemonjpn On My Sport: "Brilliant afternoon of football. Better than a trip to Millport on a sunny day."

1705: "It took us an age to get going in the game. Hearts are a decent side but I was always confident we could cut them open. I don't think the first goal was offside. We're sometimes not clinical in front of goal." Celtic manager Neil Lennon

Celtic goal: Paddy McCourt doesn't score simple goals as he beats three players before dinking the ball over goalkeeper Marian Kello to put Celtic 3-0. What a superb individual effort!

1618: A rare chance for St Johnstone as Cleveland Taylor blazes a shot over from a Danny Grainger corner.

St Mirren goal: A mix-up in the Kilmarnock defence allows Steven Thomson to hammer the ball low and hard into the net.

1604: Derek Riordan tests Ryan Esson with a 25-yard free-kick but the Inverness keeper is equal to it and tips the ball over the bar.

1603: "Hearts will be unhappy at losing two goals but even more unhappy at two offside decisions that appear to have gone against them. Hearts players will have been told there has been an injustice, but Celtic just have to go out for more goals."
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Murdo MacLeod

1600: Here we go again. Are we set for another goal bonanza? Here's hoping.

Celtic goal: Shaun Maloney doubles Celtic's lead with a fine run and cool finish. What a goal-den afternoon!

1542: Aberdeen manager Mark McGhee is sent to the stand by referee Mike Tumilty for kicking the ball away after a decision too many goes against his side. The Dons boss will be hoarse tonight and will be singing like Bonnie Tyler!

Motherwell goal: Saints are in all sorts of bother at McDiarmid Park as Jamie Murphy doubles the Steelmen's lead.

1537: "The game's just lacking a bit of zip." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson Then Hibs keeper Mark Brown denies Adam Rooney with a great save. Hibs still lead 1-0.

1536: "For a team that are 3-1 ahead, Dundee United are really on the rack." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Jim Leighton.

1535: Hibs are going along nicely at Easter Road after Derek Riordan's early strike and have been rarely troubled by Inverness.

1532: "Since the first minute I don't think St Johnstone have caused the Motherwell defence a problem. BBC Scotland's Steve Cowan

Kilmarnock goal: James Dayton gives Killie a deserved lead with a powerful left-foot shot into the top corner.

Celtic goal: Hearts winger Suso strikes the outside of the Celtic post and the home side immediately break up field to score. Daryl Murphy broke clear and his cross was turned into the net as Darren Barr challenges Celtic midfielder James Forrest. An own goal? Celtic do not care, they are just happy to take the lead.

Aberdeen goal: The Dons comeback is under way. Scott Vernon hooks a shot into the top right-hand corner of Dusan Pernis' goal to narrow the deficit for Aberdeen to 3-1.

1525: Motherwell's Nick Blackman comes close to doubling his account, Saints keeper Graeme Smith getting down smartly to parry his shot.

1524:From Macker100 On My Sport: "See what happens when you put Riordan up front? Great start by Hibs."

Dundee United goals cont... Craig Conway is decked by Aberdeen captain Paul Hartley in the box and Mike Tumilty points to the spot.

Aberdeen three down within eight minutes and Mark McGhee is a mushroom cloud in the Dons dugout.

Dundee United goals: Just when the frazzled Dons fans thought it couldn't get any worse... Mark Howard blunders to punch the ball into his own goal from a Dundee United corner and Aberdeen are 2-0 down. The Dons claim their keeper was fouled.

Hibernian goal: John Hughes's men draw first blood at Easter Road through the talismanic Derek Riordan.

Dundee United goal: Striker Jon Daly gives United the perfect start as he takes advantage of calamitous Dons defending to slot home Morgaro Gomis's cross.

Motherwell goal: The Steelmen break the deadlock in Perth as Nick Blackman collects a Keith Lasley pass and fires a 25-yard scorcher into the top corner.

1502: St Johnstone almost open the scoring inside 60 seconds. 'Well keeper Darren Randolph pulls off a double save from Cleveland Taylor and then Murray Davidson.

1500: We're off and running around the grounds.

1449:From bringthemonjpn On My Sport: "Had a wee look at the Celtic line up. Changed my prediction from 3-1 to 2-1. Going to be tight. What about Everton...3-1 down on 90 minutes..3-3." An incredible finish. TV pictures showed Everton boss Davie Moyes going ballistic at the ref, not sure what about, though.

1447:From Macker On My Sport: "New look defensive line up for Hibs today. And also looks like a 4-4-2 line up which suits Hibs better. Hopefully, Riordan can be used as an out and out striker for a change."

1427: And Lennon has revealed he will hold talks with defender Danny Shittu's representatives over the weekend. The free agent, Lennon says, is reluctant to come on trial in case he suffers a knock.

1423: "Everyone knows him in Scotland. He brings a real hunger and desire and menace to score goals. We have an exciting squad. It is hungry and we just need to find a level of consistency in the coming months"
Celtic manager Neil Lennon on new signing Anthony Stokes

1420:From bringthemonjpn On My Sport: "All of today's remaining games are pretty hard to call. Four or five draws is not out of the question. Looking forward to DU v Aberdeen. Should be a real blood and snotters..." Hankies at the ready then!

1418: "Kenny Miller's doing extremely well for us at the moment and is looking sharp. He's been adding to a good tally of goals from last season." Rangers manager Walter Smith on the predatory Miller's knack of scoring crucial goals

1414: BBC Scotland reporter Chick Young has just told Sportsound listeners that he's been "ferreting around" this week and can assure everyone that Kris Boyd & James McFadden - criticised for their displays against Liechtenstein - will play for the national side again.

1410: Former Hibs striker Garry O'Connor has been loaned to Barnsley from current employers Birmingham City.

1409: "Beattie and Jelavic both look off the pace."
BBC Scotland pundit Jim Traynor

1404: Anthony Stokes will make his Celtic debut against Hearts this afternoon. He will partner Daryl Murphy up front, with Georgios Samaras dropping to the bench.

1403: Reaction from New Douglas Park as and when we get it... now our attention turns to this afternoon's other five SPL games.

1400: That's 12 points from a possible 12 for Rangers in the league this season. Kenny Miller's 90th minute winner was harsh on Accies, but the league leaders won't mind.

1359:From bringthemonjpn On My Sport: "Kenny Miller!! I'll send you a Christmas card this year..."

1357: "You win first then you analyse the performance later and that's certainly the case for Rangers today."
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Gordon Smith

1353: Rangers goal hero Kenny Miller departs the pitch at New Douglas Park to the acclaim of the visiting fans. That's his sixth goal for Rangers this season. Assistant manager Ally McCoist gives Miller a high-five as he heads up the tunnel.

Rangers goal: Substitute Lee McCulloch threads the ball through to Kenny Miller and the Scotland hitman's lob finds the net, despite a despairing touch from Tomas Cerny. "That's why we're champions!" sing the jubilant Rangers fans. Accies are stunned...

1347: "The Hamilton fans sense at least a point here."
BBC Scotland commentator Liam McLeod

1346: Sasa Papac goes into referee Alan Muir's book for a full-blown cruncher on Flavio Paixao.

1343: The Hamilton Accies fans give Rangers a quick verbal blast of "Champions League? You're having a laugh." There's still six minutes remaining of a fascinating contest at New Douglas Park.

1341:From jbayne On My Sport: "Rangers have been terrible, we havent created anything since the goal"

1339: Rangers midfielder Steven Davis, with 10 minutes remaining, sends in a 25-yard howitzer but the ball speeds well wide of Tomas Cerny's goal.

1337: Andy Graham receives a booking for a scything challenge on a bewildered-looking Sasa Papac. It hasn't been a dirty game but that was a definite yellow.

1336: Hamilton keeper Tomas Cerny produces a superb save with his legs to deny Nikica Jelavic his second goal of the game. What a stop!

1331: Rangers make their final substitution, as Kenny Miller comes on for Kyle Lafferty.

1329: "Hamilton are building the pressure here and Rangers are having to clear their lines."
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Gordon Smith

1326: Flavio Paixao comes within a whisker of giving Accies the lead as he dances away from the attentions of Sasa Papac and Madjid Bougherra but his effort is deflected just wide with Allan McGregor stranded.

1325: Manager Walter Smith has seen enough to decide to shuffle his Rangers pack: James Beattie trots off to be replaced by Lee McCulloch.

1322: Rangers midfielder Steven Naismith is floored by a thundering Dougie Imrie challenge but springs back to his feet seconds later to send in a wicked drive towards goal, well-save by Tomas Cerny. This game has fizzed and crackled into life.

1321: The impressive but tiring Nigel Hasselbaink is replaced by new signing Damian Casalinuovo.

1320:From TheJollyLodger On My Sport: "Aw Boogie, there goes my prediction." A case of Boogie Blunderland? OK, I'll get my coat...

Hamilton goal: Now, then. Marco Paixao's low cross is sent into his own net by a horrified Madjid Bougherra amid much gnashing of teeth in the Rangers defence. The goal triggers THAT Paixao celebration; Accies are back in the game with half an hour to go.

1313: Steven Davis sends a high corner kick into the Accies penalty area but a sea of red and white engulfs the ball; both defences are nullifying attacks with relative ease.

1312: "It's been a poor spell in the last five minutes. Not much happening in the game." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Gordon Smith

1309: Hamilton probe and try to find a way through the resolute Rangers defence but they are equal to the task at the moment. The nippy Nigel Hasselbaink appears to be growing in confidence, we need another goal to quicken the collective pulse!

1307:From DiegotheDestroyer On My Sport: "Good first half from Jelavic: strong, brings others into the game and capped it with a goal. Kris who?" He looks a quality signing and his positional play isn't too bad either!

1305: The second half gets under way at New Douglas Park, with Rangers a goal to the good courtesy of Nikica Jelavic.

1259: Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson omitted striker Wayne Rooney from his squad to face Everton. But the troubled forward will face Rangers at Old Trafford in Tuesday's Champions League clash, according to Sir Alex.

1255: Rangers lead at half-time and you get the feeling that a second goal for the visitors could prove crucial. Hamilton are still in the game at 1-0. When you think of some of the players they've lost in recent seasons: James McCarthy, James McArthur and Brian Easton, it's understandable they face a period of transition.

1249: HALF TIME Hamilton 0-1 Rangers

1245: Just off the bench, Ricky Foster makes a mess of a clearance, letting Nigel Hasselbaink in on goal but Allan McGregor smothers the Dutchman's shot.

1243: On-loan signing from Aberdeen Richard Foster makes his Rangers debut as he comes on for the injured Kirk Broadfoot.

1241: A promising run by Accies midfielder Dougie Imrie eventually sees his shot block and his team-mates, who had been flooding forward, caught offside. That's the story of the first half for the hosts: their efforts are crumbling in the final third.

1239: "I think Billy Reid will be happy. His team have competed. But you're never entirely happy when your team are 1-0 down."
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Gordon Smith So, the Hamilton Accies boss is happy, sort of...

1237:From bringthemonjpn On My Sport: "Looks like Lafferty has decided his already put in his full 10 minutes of running. Tell you what, though: Jelavic, Beattie and Miller. That will work."

1235: Honest toil from Accies in the opening 35 minutes, but they need to produce a wee bit of magic if they are to find an equaliser.

1233: Hamilton new boy Jim Goodwin earns the first yellow card of the game for a clumsy rather than malicious sliding tackle on Nikica Jelavic.

1231: Rangers keep the ball for a couple of minutes, trading passes along their defence before Maurice Edu suddenly launches a quick break. His through ball finds Nikica Jelavic and his shot is deflected for a corner. The striker looks a good signing...

1230: "Rangers have done very little in the game so far to suggest they're going to score a few goals."
BBC Radio Scotland pundit Gordon Smith

1227: Hamilton force a corner after Madjid Bougherra heads behind after a wicked Dougie Imrie free-kick. After a bit of pinball in the box, Allan McGregor clutches Simon Mensing's close-range header.

1225:From JodyMorris4England On My Sport: "Even with the early goal it already looks like this won't be a walk in the park for Rangers. If they were expecting an easy ride before the much sterner challenge they face in midweek then they could be in trouble here."

1224: Nikica Jelavic shows a bit of ingenuity on the right and his low centre narrowly evades the sliding lunge of strike partner James Beattie. Rangers go close to doubling their lead.

1221: The home side are toiling away without managing to pierce the Rangers rearguard. Jelavic's bullet header apart, Walter Smith will be looking for his side to once again test Accies at the back.

1220: Hamilton are coming more into the game now and buoyed by his earlier effort, Marco Paixao spears into the Rangers penalty area but he screws his effort wide of McGregor's goal.

1219: "That was a terrific effort. That was going in the net without question unless McGregor pulled off that great save, which he did." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Gordon Smith

1215: Marco Paixao goes close to scoring an equaliser for shell-shocked Accies but his shot from the edge of the area is brilliantly tipped over by Allan McGregor.

1214:From TheJollyLodger On My Sport: "Great start. The Gers can relax a bit and hit them on the break. We need to save the legs for midweek."

1213: New Douglas Park is bathed in sunshine and Rangers are warming to the task. Jelavic is looking lively up front and Lafferty is getting plenty of joy down the left. Food for thought for Accies boss Billy Reid.

1212: "The first real attack for Rangers, but it was a good one and an excellent finish" BBC Radio Scotland pundit Gordon Smith

Rangers goal: The visitors take the lead with a goal of stunning simplicity. Kyle Lafferty gallops down the left unopposed and his perfect cross is headed home by Nikica Jelavic with Accies keeper Tomas Cerny cruelly exposed. The Accies defence all-at-sea as the big former Rapid Vienna striker scores his first goal for Rangers.

1205: Hamilton Accies appeal unsuccessfully for a penalty as teenage Dutch striker Nigel Hasselbaink nips in between Kirk Broadfoot and David Weir before taking a tumble in the box. Correct decision for me.

1203: Rangers striker James Beattie tries to steal in behind Martin Canning but the ball speeds through to keeper Tomas Cerny.

1201: Both managers share a joke and a handshake outside their respective dugouts and the first half is under way at New Douglas Park.

1159: Martin Ferguson, the Manchester United scout, is watching from the New Douglas Park stand.

1158: Television pictures offer a brief glimpse of the Hamilton players gearing up in the home dressing room. Accies boss Billy Reid is delivering some last-minute tactical advice with a few hops and jabs that Scotland boxing champion Ricky Burns would be proud of.

1154: Now here's a thing. Despite recording three league wins from as many games, Rangers manager Walter Smith has urged his troops to show greater fluency ahead of their latest tilt at the Champions League. They haven't looked too shabby this season. And what about Accies? Billy Reid's men will be looking to use the 1-0 win away to Inverness CT in their last league game as momentum.

1151:From JodyMorris4England On My Sport: "I walked past Jody Morris yesterday in town buying a coffee with Chris Millar. I've got a feeling that caffeine boost is going to see us through today for the three points. We're too good to be bottom of the pile for long: 3-1 Saints (we don't really do clean sheets)." I hope the caffeine keeps me going today. I've already had three cups...

1148: I always enjoy World Cup and Euro qualifiers but there's nothing like Saturday club football to whet the appetite...

1146:From EDGE On My Sport: "With Rangers facing the daunting task of a visit to Old Trafford this week, a good victory at Accies should help steady some nerves."

1143: Striker Nikica Jelavic makes his first start for Rangers, but Richard Foster, a loan signing from Aberdeen, is on the bench. Jelavic, Kirk Broadfoot, Maurice Edu and Kyle Lafferty all start. With an eye on next week's Champions League clash with Manchester United, Gers boss Walter Smith names Kenny Miller, Lee McCulloch and Vladimir Weiss among the substitutes.

1142: Jim Goodwin makes his Accies debut, but fellow new recruit Damian Casalinuovo has to settle for a place on the bench.

1140: Teams from New Douglas Park:
Hamilton Accies: Cerny, Buchanan, Canning, Goodwin, Graham, Flavio Paixao, Imrie, Mensing, Marco Paixao, Hasselbaink, Routledge. Subs: Murdoch, Skelton, McDonald, Casalinuovo, Lyle, Thomas, Gillespie.
Rangers: McGregor, Broadfoot, Bougherra, Weir, Papac, Naismith, Edu, Davis, Lafferty, Jelavic, Beattie. Subs: Alexander, McCulloch, Miller, Foster, Weiss, Little, Hutton.
Referee: Alan Muir

1135: Good morning and welcome to a bumper day of Scottish Premier League football. We've got six games this afternoon. First up, it's Hamilton Accies v Rangers at New Douglas Park.
