Colin Moffat HT: Dundee United 1-1 Hibernian Tyrone Smith BBC Scotland at Tannadice An action packed half of football at Tannadice. The visitors have had the better of the game so far and on another day could have had another couple of goals. United were pegged back for spells as the break approached and it has probably come at a good time for Jim Goodwin's side. HT: Kilmarnock 0-0 Falkirk Martin Dowden BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby Park The home side have definitely edged it in terms of chances, increasingly so as the half wore on. They seem to have found a route to trouble Falkirk as this has progressed with a little more width paying off. In fairness, both teams are showing strong defensive qualities and fight in midfield areas but momentum increasingly swung in Kilmarnock's favour without resulting in the breakthrough. Someone needs a little spark or it of composure to open this up. Scottish League 2 Scottish League 1 Scottish Championship There's always goals when these two meet in recent times and so it is again. United took the lead through Luca Stephenson's prodded finish, with Martin Boyle thumping in the equaliser. Both sides have also struck the crossbar, but it is the visitors who have had more of the chances. Martin Boyle equalised for the visitors Dundee United 1-1 Hibernian United's turn to hit the woodwork. Will Ferry's corner comes off the face of the bar with goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger struggling. Leon King Three and easy for Ayr as Dunfermline get themselves in a muddle at the back and Leon King knocks in the visitors' third. It's not been brilliant but Kilmarnock have markedly improved in the final 20 minutes of the first half. James Brown and Greg Kiltie in particular have had good chances. Falkirk are struggling for creativity again. Josh Fowler Dundee United 1-1 Hibernian A sniff at goal for United, but midfielder Amar Fatah can only volley well over from just inside the penalty box. It's not been the Motherwell we've been used to seeing in the first half and Dundee have done well to nullify a lot of the threat from Jens Berthel Askou's men. The hosts turned things up a notch in the final 15 minutes or so but couldn't find a way to break the deadlock. Dundee United 1-1 Hibernian Tyrone Smith BBC Scotland at Tannadice Some real cornerman work by the Dundee United physios who have patched up keeper David Richards who has picked a rather nasty looking boxer's cut just above his right eye. Premier Sports Cup winners St Mirren should have had more celebrating to do in this first half but, thus far, they cannot find a way through against Livingston. The visitors have threatened fleetingly and would probably take a point right now. Motherwell 0-0 Dundee That's an incredible run from Elijah Just, who was having to deal with Finlay Robertson tugging his shirt the whole time. He eventually plays a ball towards the back post but no one in claret and amber can get to it. The hosts are cranking up the pressure. Kilmarnock 0-0 Falkirk Tyreece John-Jules, who is playing off the left, sends a ball in which takes a deflection. Greg Kiltie takes a nice touch under pressure but then steers the ball over on the stretch. Jamie Gullan That looks like game over in Perth before half-time. Dundee United 1-1 Hibernian So close to a second for Hibs. Debutant Zach Mitchell rises to meet a corner and between his head and goalkeeper Dave Richards' fist, the ball strikes the face of the crossbar before being hacked clear off the line. Richards is down receiving treatment for a cut eye. St Mirren 0-0 Livingston St Mirren threaten as Dan Nlundulu gets away a shot in a crowded penalty area and again there are too many Livingston players in the way. It really could have ended up anywhere. Dundee United 1-1 Hibernian Tyrone Smith BBC Scotland at Tannadice An absolutely terrific finish by Martin Boyle to level things at Tannadice. He has looked up for it today, and is in one of his 'every time he is on the ball he is going to cause all sorts of problems' moods. Match report to appear here.

This will be Falkirk's first top-flight away game at Kilmarnock since a goalless draw in May 2010; the Bairns are unbeaten in their last three such trips (W1 D2) since a 3-0 defeat in April 2009. Kilmarnock won none of their final 10 league games under Stuart Kettlewell (D2 L8). This will be Kris Doolan’s first league game in interim charge of the club; none of the last seven managers to take charge of Killie in the Scottish Premiership (incl. caretakers) won their first game with them in the competition (D3 L4), with Paul Mc Donald the last to do so in October 2017 (2-0 v Partick Thistle). Falkirk have failed to score in each of their last four league games, attempting 33 shots with an expected goals tally of 2. 2 without success in this run. The Bairns have lost their last two, last losing three in a row without scoring in the top-flight in April 2009 – when the third defeat was away to Kilmarnock. Only Rangers (15) have had more different goalscorers (excl. own goals) in the Scottish Premiership this season than both Falkirk (11) and Kilmarnock (10). Copyright © 2025 BBC.
