Hearts 1-0 Aberdeen Pierre Landry Kabore gets a fair whack on the ball as he tests Aberdeen goalkeeper Dimitar Mitov at his near post. Aberdeen try to counter but Hearts tidy up by conceding a corner. Kevin Nisbet is free for a volley at the back post but gets his angles wrong. Dom Thomas A double for Thomas as the hosts come from behind to lead. Hearts 1-0 Aberdeen Double Aberdeen substitution at the break. Captain Graeme Shinnie and winger Topi Keskinen have not re-appeared for the second half and Mitchell Frame and Sivert Heltne Nilsen have come on. That looks like a move to a back three for the Dons. Tawanda Maswanhise Just after Max Watters spurned a chance at one end, Maswanhise has Motherwell's second at the other. Motherwell launch a free-kick deep into United's half and Maswanhise, battling with Vicko Sevelj, gets a shot away. The United defender sticks his leg out and sends the ball bobbling and into the back of Ashley Maynard-Brewer's net. The action is resuming up and down the country. Strap yourselves in. HT: Dundee 1-1 Hibernian Tyrone Smith BBC Scotland at Dens Park A decent game, and as the scoreline suggests - a very even one too. For me, Dundee are just shading it. They are carrying a bit more attacking threat than their visitors so far. This does feel like a game where there will be more goals after the break. Simon Murray equalised for Dundee four minutes after Hibs scored Scottish League Two Scottish League One Scottish Championship HT: Hearts 1-0 Aberdeen Brian Mc Lauchlin BBC Sport Scotland at Tynecastle A high tempo first half with Hearts deservedly on top and, with Aberdeen yet to find the net this year on the road, the smart money will be on the home side extending their lead at the top. Aberdeen, however, will certainly still feel as if they can take something from this game and put a spanner in Hearts quest for the title. HT: Livingston 0-1 St Mirren Amy Canavan BBC Sport Scotland at Home of the Set Fare Arena I am stunned. I - along with many others in here - was sure Dan Nlundulu's header would be chopped off for a handball in the build-up. The boos on the half-time whistle would not have been lost on referee Don Robertson. An Ethan Brown own goal, a Dylan Tait strike and Barney Stewart's header have Falkirk firmly in control. Greg Kiltie skelped one in to give Kilmarnock a lifeline, and they have threatened in spells, but defensively they have been all over the shop. Falkirk 3-1 Kilmarnock Kilmarnock goalkeeper Kelle Roos pulls off a brilliant diving save to his right to keep out Barney Stewart's header. The Falkirk man could have had a hat-trick! Another excellent first-half display from Jens Berthel Askou's slick Motherwell side who will probably be disappointed to not be further in front. Dundee United have defended well but Vicko Sevelj's off the ball altercation with Tawanda Maswanhise, which gave the hosts a penalty, has Motherwell deservedly ahead. That penalty award will definitely be the talking point of the half. Dan Nlundulu's powerful header is the difference at the interval. Livingston had a half chance to level just before the whistle but it was well stopped by Shamal George. The visitors started brightly but Marvin Bartley's side fought their way back into the game well. Two quickfire goals at Dens, one for either side. Owen Elding put the Hibees in front after 11 minutes, nodding in from Nicky Cadden's cross. But Simon Murray hit straight back, capitalising on some slack defending from Rocky Bushiri to pull Steven Pressley's side level. Job half done for Hearts after Claudio Braga's composed opener. A big second 45 minutes for both sides on the way. Dan Nlundulu An impressive, towering header. Mikael Mandron's well-weighted cross is thumped in by Nlundulu, who rises high to meet it. There was a brief VAR check for a possible handball in the build-up but nothing doing, ultimately. Dundee 1-1 Hibernian Warren O'Hora into the book for a challenge on Tony Yogane as the Dundee forward flies up the pitch. Some appeals that the card should be another colour, but there were covering defenders. Dundee work the free-kick back to Yan Dhanda on the edge of the box, but he drills wide. Livingston 0-0 St Mirren Amy Canavan BBC Sport Scotland at Home of the Set Fare Arena This is really, really poor. Brooklyn Kabongolo salvaged a draw for Livingston against St Mirren At a glance Nlundulu's powerful first-half header has St Mirren on course for a first Premiership win on the road since September Kabongolo nods basement side Livingston level with a goal out of nowhere Hosts move to within seven points of 11th placed Kilmarnock, while visitors shift three points clear with a game in hand Defender Brooklyn Kabongolo scored for the second game running as Scottish Premiership basement side Livingston rescued a point against stumbling St Mirren. Six days on from his venomous volley in the draw with Rangers, the Frenchman found himself unmarked in the box to sumptuously head home from debutant Barrie Mc Kay's magnificent cross. It was completely out the blue for Marvin Bartley's side, who failed to follow up last weekend's heroic performance and seldom troubled the Buddies in a low-quality game. For long enough, Stephen Robinson would not have been bothered by the standard on display as his side looked comfortable for a first win away in the league since 13 September, courtesy of Dan Nlundulu's thumping header. The striker powered his first-half effort beyond Jerome Prior, but Livi were left furious, sure that he handled the ball earlier in the build-up when he was down on the deck. Referee Don Robertson was met with boos at half-time from the home fans for the decision, but they might have been equally venting their frustration at their own side's showing. Things markedly improved after Kabongolo's galvanising goal, but despite a late onslaught, Livi couldn't dig out a much-needed winner. With Kilmarnock's heavy defeat at Falkirk, Livi are now seven points off 11th, while the Buddies are three points clear of Neil Mc Cann's side with a game in hand. Given Livingston had not won in the league in 203 days and St Mirren had not picked up a victory on the road in 168 days, expectations for a classic were low. What transpired was, for the most part, terrible. The Buddies started brightly, with Jayden Richardson climbing and heading a decent effort on goal, only for it crash off the crossbar with the faintest of touches from home goalkeeper Jerome Prior, but it was not a sign for things to come. The first half was flat, with balls being lumped from one end of the pitch to the other in the West Lothian rain. Nlundulu's header on the cusp of half-time woke fans up in the ground, who would have been forgiven for falling asleep. Many had their heads in their hands. They remained there for much of the second half, where it looked like St Mirren were cruising, without having to do much, and ending their three-game losing streak. Then, Kabongolo, rather inexplicably and surprisingly, was all alone in the box. Completely different to his finish last week, the defender showed great quality to haul Livi back level. The issue is, Livi are not in the market for draws, they desperately need wins. They pushed for it, while the Saints sat back - their last shot came in the 64th minute. Robinson admitted they tried to protect their lead too early, and while he accepted the point gained was fair, he added it was perhaps something of a missed opportunity, given the thrashing Killie suffered. Bartley is backing his players and believes they have more than enough to pull off the great escape, but if today’s performance was anything to go by, that seems a huge challenge. Livingston manager Marvin Bartley: "My biggest thing with the players is mistakes are always going to happen in games of football, it's about your reaction and we just felt a little bit nervous out there today. "We'll keep chipping away until we get to the split and then we'll see where we're at, but this team's more than good enough to do so. "You know we will not give up. We will get out of this situation we're currently in. " St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson: "I think it's a point gained. "Any point away from home is a positive, we felt we could add three points, they had that one opportunity and score from it, it's a long looking ball into the box, we just didn't defend it properly. "Then when they scored we went back again and got hold of the ball again and started to create a little bit more but probably overall a result, a point is a first result. " Livingston are n Ot in action for another two weeks, when they make the short trip to Hibernian on Saturday, 14 March (15: 00 GMT) in the league. St Mirren have two games before then, starting with a trip to Dundee United on Tuesday (19: 45) before their Scottish Cup quarter-final game at home to Partick Thistle on Sunday, 8 March (19: 30) - live on BBC Scotland.
