2153: Thanks for your company as always. It brightens up a rainy night across Scotland. See you at the weekend.

2151: We'll be publishing the post-match interviews with the SPL managers on the BBC Sport website. Highlights of Motherwell v Killie will be online at midnight, while you can see Hibs' and Rangers' wins on the website on Thursday afternoon (if you are in the UK).

hyperbob on My Sport: "What the hell is going on with the officials and Kilmarnock? Our players get kicked up and down the park every game, yet we are the ones getting red cards. All too quick to get the cards out for us but not the opposition. Stevie O'Reilly, you are a joke."

green_pegasus on My Sport: "Rangers are struggling to finish teams off, 1-0 at home against Hearts - personally I believe Celtic will roll over Rangers on Sunday..."

2143: Hibs are in nosebleed territory - they are now tenth in the league! That must be a great feeling for their fans.

2141: If you are a Killie fan, you will want to tune in to BBC ALBA tonight to watch the full 90 minutes of the action from Fir Park.

2135: Kilmarnock must hold on in the final few minutes with ten men as Garry Hay is dismissed for hacking down an opponent. He didn't appear to be the last man but ref Stevie O'Reilly couldn't wait to flash the red card.

2134: Rangers have the ball in the net but the home side's celebrations are cut short as the offside flag is up as Steven Davis puts the ball in the net.

You wait 11 hours for a goal and two come along at once! Hibs have some breathing space as David Wotherspoon lashes home a fine strike.

2132: Giant hailstones are battering down at Fir Park as Tom Hateley's free-kick is deflected wide. It really has been a wild night in Lanarkshire.

Completely against the run of play, Kilmarnock are in front at Fir Park. Tim Clancy races down the right and crosses for David Di Silva to head home from close range.

2127: Steve Jennings powers into the penalty box to gather a neat pass from Jamie Murphy but Kilmarnock keeper Cammy Bell is down quickly to save again.

2126: Ian Murray and Marc McAusland clatter into one another at Easter Road - a classic "50-50" challenge according to former Hibs captain-turned-football-pundit Craig Paterson.

2124: Darren McGregor passes straight to Derek Riordan and the Hibs striker makes use of a decoy run by Colin Nish to cut inside and fire a shot that is saved by St Mirren goalie Paul Gallacher.

2122: "With all due respect, the problem for St Mirren is they just don't have the money to buy enough quality for this level." BBC Radio Scotland commentator Jim Spence

2118: A dipping 20-yard free-kick from Motherwell full-back Stevie Hammell crashes off the crossbar.

2117: Lee Mair jogs off the Easter Road pitch to be replaced by Paul McQuade. Moments later, Derek Riordan gets to the bye-line on the left, crosses for Colin Nish whose header across the goal is just beyond the despairing David Wotherspoon.

2114: Vladimir Weiss comes off to be replaced by Steven Naismith as Hearts also make a change with Andrew Driver coming on for Suso Santana.

2113: "He doesn't panic when the ball is at his feet." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson praises Hibs goalie Graham Stack on possessing a useful talent for a footballer...

2113: Jamie Murphy slips into the Kilmarnock penalty area but Cammy Bell is out like a flash to block the Motherwell forward's shot. The home team are turning the screw at Fir Park.

2112: Steven Naismith is preparing to come on for Rangers.

2111: Akpo Sodje receives warm applause from the home fans at Easter Road as he makes way for big Colin Nish.

2110: "The Rangers effort is there even if the passing hasn't been 100% accurate tonight." BBC Radio Scotland commentator Liam McLeod

2108: Motherwell keeper Darren Randolph makes a great save at his near post to keep out a close range effort from Rui Miguel. The Killie striker didn't know to much about it but the ball looked like it was going to creep in.

2105: Maurice Edu's shot is deflected away from goal after being set up by El Hadji Diouf.

After 63 minutes of play at Easter Road, Derek Riordan scores Hibs' first goal of 2011, getting on the end of a head flick to score from 14 yards. The Hibs fans go crazy.

2103: The little Slovak is going to soldier on for now.

2102: More injury problems for Rangers. Vladimir Weiss goes to ground unchallenged, clutching his ankle.

2102: "This is a game that is suddenly threatening to boil over." Tempers are fraying at Easter Road, according to BBC Scotland commentator Jim Spence.

2059: Killie full-back Tim Clancy gallops into the Motherwell penalty area but makes a meal of his shot, scuffing the ball wide.

2059: And Hibernian would be three points ahead of basement side Hamilton but having played two games more.

2057: If the scores stay the same, Rangers would move to within five points of league leaders Celtic with two games in hand. Hearts would be five points further behind.

2054: Madjid Bougherra plays a one-two with Steven Davis and fires a shot towards goal but Marian Kello is equal to the shot. Great move, great save.

2054: A neat passing move involving Alexei Eremenko and Mehdi Taouil ends with James Fowler blazing an awful shot high into the stand sheltering the small band of Kilmarnock fans.

2053: No second-half goals to report yet, but Mark McAusland bears down on the Hibs goal only for Ian Murray to make a saving challenge.

2050: Killie boss Mixu Paatelainen looks a bit glum on the sidelines at Fir Park. I guess he is longing for Conor Sammon, who left for Wigan on Monday.

2048: It was Ryan Stevenson, of course, who scored the winner against Rangers recently. Can he do at Ibrox what he managed at Tynecastle?

2046: BBC Scotland pundit Chick Young is struggling to remember a game he has seen this season where a team has surrendered possession like Rangers have this evening. Hearts have made a change - Ryan Stevenson comes on for Ian Black.

Stu_ger on My Sport: "Diouf is top quality. Pity Hearts are booting him off the park."

2035: Steve Jones weaves into the Kilmarnock penalty area but his cut-back is intercepted by Manuel Pascali before Esteban Casagolda can apply the killer touch inside the six-yard box.

2031: Kilmarnock goalkeeper Cammy Bell does well to claw away an in-swinging corner that caught the wind and looked to be heading for the back of the net.

2029: David Wotherspoon makes a run to the front post and heads Callum Booth's cross wide of the goal. Clever movement by the Scotland Under-21 star to get ahead of his marker.

2029: Kilmarnock defender Frazer Wright is being carried off on a stretcher after clattering into Steven Saunders. A stray arm caught him across the face, although there was no malice in the challenge. James Fowler comes off the bench for the visitors.

2028: The Hibs fans appeal for a penalty for hand ball, but all their team win is a corner kick.

2026: Ian Black is booked for a heavy challenge on El Hadji Diouf. The Hearts midfielder is already unpopular with the Rangers fans after his tackle on Nikica Jelavic earlier in the season.

2024: "There is no one in black-and-white verticals to support Jure Travner." BBC Scotland's Jim Spence, commentating on a St Mirren break, has an eye for detail, does he not? Quite the Renaissance man, I suspect he has a say in the choice of drapes in his living room.

2023: It's all gone quiet in our three games. How about some more goals to keep us going on this dreich evening?

2019: Graham Stack heads a clearance straight to Steven Thomson but the St Mirren midfielder fails to take advantage of the Hibs goalie's error. A cool head was needed there.

2018: Hibs' new recruit Akpo Sodje gets a shot in at Paul Gallacher's goal but it's not enough to break the deadlock.

2017: The rain has eased off to a mere downpour at a muddy Fir Park. Do you think former AC Milan man Willy Aubameyang, a new recruit for Killie, is wondering 'how on earth did I end up here?' You know it's cold because 'Well boss Stuart McCall is wearing long trousers!

Macker100 on My Sport: "Hibs have certainly got a mix of youth and experience in the team tonight. Let's hope they also have some goals in them too."

2012: Rangers goalkeeper Allan McGregor tips Marius Zaliukas's header over the bar. Hearts so close to a leveller!

2011: The Buddies defenders are throwing themselves in front of some fierce shots from Hibs. Can the Easter Road side score their first goal of the year?

2010: Derek Riordan smacks the free-kick across the six-yard line and the ball is deflected for a Hibs corner. An inviting ball there from Riordan.

2009: Hibs have a free-kick just outside the St Mirren box.

2008: Killie playmaker Alexei Eremenko spots Motherwell keeper Darren Randolph out of position but his audacious, long-range dig drifts well wide.

2007: El Hadji Diouf is going to make his Rangers debut as an early substitute. Lee McCulloch is the man to be withdrawn.

2006: Richie Towell goes close again for Hibernian and that seems to waken the home support from their slumber.

2004: Rangers are apparently going to make an early substitution...

2003: I hope to keep you entertained tonight but if your attention begins to wander you could do worse than have a read at some of the funny texts and emails that came into the Off the Ball in-box at the weekend. Tam Cowan has compiled some belters in 'Off the Bawl'.

2002: Kilmarnock have the ball in the net but the offside flag is fluttering to deny Rui Miguel. The defence-splitting pass from Alexei Eremenko, which led to the opportunity, was a thing of great beauty.

2000: Richie Towell fires a shot four yards wide of Paul Gallacher's post as Hibs apply a bit of pressure.

1959: An interesting stat from our irrepressible colleague Liam McLeod - Rangers are two points better off than they were at the same stage this season but Hearts are 20 points better off.

1958: It's a wide open game at Fir Park as Motherwell winger Chris Humphrey finds room for a low, angled strike that is gathered by Cammy Bell without too much trouble.

1957: Lee McCulloch heads wide from Madjid Bougherra's cross. Rangers have started brightly.

1956: I hate to say it, but Fir Park is slowly beginning to resemble the patchwork quilt of assorted mud squares of recent years.

1955: "You'll see a fair number of back-to-front balls tonight." BBC Radio Scotland summariser Craig Paterson reckons the foul weather will put paid to silky football in Leith

1954: The season ticket holders with seats near the pitch at Fir Park are scurrying for cover from the squalling wind and rain. Not to worry, there are lots of vacant spaces.

1953: "I just cannot get used to seeing someone with the number 91 on the back of their shirt." BBC Radio Scotland commentator Jim Spence is troubled by Hibs' Victor Palsson's squad number

1950: What was that I was saying earlier about a lack of goalscorers on the Ibrox pitch?

Kyle Lafferty, Rangers' only striker, lashes the ball into the net after making a run into the box and meeting Steven Whittaker's cross.

1948: There seems to have been some changes to the Hearts line-up. David Obua, who was named in the starting line-up, seems to have been replaced by Ismael Bouzid. The teams at Ibrox are going at it hammer and tongs already.

1946: The match is under way at Easter Road, while Motherwell and Killie prepare for kick-off.

1945: In case you are wondering about online highlights, we'll have five minutes' worth of the action from Fir Park going online at midnight. Highlights of the games at Easter Road and Ibrox will be available online on Thursday afternoon.

1942: We're approaching kick-off time at our three games. Hearts, by the way, have drafted in Stephen Elliot, Eggert Jonsson and Adrian Mrowiec into the side to play Rangers.

1939: Akpo Sodje makes his Hibs debut. Colin Calderwood makes five changes as he searches for a third win as Hibernian manager. Sodje, signed from Charlton on Monday, is joined by the returning Derek Riordan up front, while Calderwood continues his goalkeeper rotation policy with Graham Stack starting. Ian Murray and Matt Thornhill also come in for 11th-placed Hibs, who lost 3-0 at Dundee United last Sunday, as Calderwood looks to improve a record of two wins and 12 losses from 17 matches in charge.

1937: BBC Radio Scotland football pundits Chick Young and Derek Ferguson drool over the talent of Killie's Alexei Eremenko. The Finn would be Chico's player of the year if the voting took place now.

1935: ST MIRREN TEAM NEWS:
Gallacher, McGregor, Potter, Mair, McAusland, Cregg, Thomson, Goodwin, Travner, McGowan, Higdon. Subs: Samson, Murray, Dargo, McQuade, Mooy, Lamont, Naismith.

1934: HIBERNIAN TEAM TO FACE ST MIRREN:
Stack, Towell, Dickoh, Hanlon, Booth, Murray, Wotherspoon, Thornhill, Palsson, Sodje, Riordan. Subs: Smith, Nish, Thicot, Stevenson, Duffy, Galbraith, Miller.

1931: With Kevin Kyle injured, Jim Jefferies made a move for, wait for it, a Lithuanian player today. He has signed Evaldas Razulis from Kaunas until the end of the season.

1930: KILMARNOCK TEAM NEWS:
Bell, Clancy, Sissoko, Wright, Hay, Kelly, Pascali, Eremenko, Aubameyang, Taouil, Rui Miguel. Subs: Jaakkola, Fowler, Silva, Berntsson, Agard, McKay, Gros.

1929: MOTHERWELL TEAM TO FACE KILMARNOCK:
Randolph, Saunders, Hutchinson, Craigan, Hammell, Jennings, Lasley, Jones, Humphrey, Murphy, Casagolda. Subs: Hollis, Hateley, Sutton, Page, Gunning, Pollock, Smith.

1927: Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist says that although Steven Naismith does not start at Ibrox tonight, he has no doubts that he will come back into the team and be firing on all cylinders.

1924: Killie midfielder Alexei Eremenko returns from a ban to replace Jamie Hamill, who was suspended after being sent off at Hamilton at the weekend. Striker Willy Aubameyang replaces Conor Sammon, the Rugby Park side's top scorer who signed for Wigan on transfer deadline day.

1921: Motherwell manager Stuart McCall has made two changes to his side for their home match with Kilmarnock. Steve Jones and Esteban Casagolda come in for Tom Hateley and John Sutton who both start on the bench.

1919: Hmm, both Rangers and Hearts are looking a bit short of goalscoring options in their starting line-ups.

1914: El Hadji Diouf starts on the bench for Rangers after his surprise transfer on Monday evening, where he will be accompanied by striker David Healy. Steven Naismith is also on the subs' bench and striker Nikica Jelavic will not feature at all.

1912: Kevin Kyle's continued absence is a blow for Hearts, but that looks like a strong side that Jim Jefferies has selected. Suso Santana is back in the starting line-up after injury and Andrew Driver is named as a sub.

1911: HEARTS TEAM:
Kello, Craig Thomson, Jonsson, Zaliukas, Palazuelos, Mrowiec, Santana, Black, Skacel, Elliott, Obua. Subs: MacDonald, Driver, Templeton, Stevenson, Jason Thomson, Bouzid, Glen.

1910: RANGERS TEAM TO FACE HEARTS
McGregor, Whittaker, Bougherra, Weir, Papac, McCulloch, Davis, Edu, Ness, Weiss, Lafferty. Subs: Alexander, Fleck, Foster, Naismith, Healy, Diouf, Bartley.

1905: Don't be shy in sharing your thoughts on the games. You can get in touch by texting 80295 or by logging on to My Sport and giving your views to the world there.

1900: Good evening and welcome to our Scottish Premier League coverage. It should be an exciting night as second-place Rangers take on Hearts, one place below them. Victory for the Edinburgh side would move them ahead of their hosts this evening. Hibernian are still searching for their first goal of 2011. Will they get it against St Mirren? This has all the hallmarks of a relegation battle. The pitch at Inverness's Caledonian Stadium is waterlogged so Caley Thistle's match against Dundee United is off, meaning the only other game on in the SPL tonight is Motherwell v Kilmarnock - a very tricky one to call.
