    Rangers 1-0 St Mirren

    St Mirren look bright on the break but they are so slack in possession.

    Another mistake from the visitors allows Djeidi Gassama to break forward. The Rangers winger cuts inside and then sends a poor shot well wide of the target.

    It comes off Naderi's side or something. A really cheap goal for St Mirren to concede.

    Half-time in extra-time and we're still level at Ochilview.

    Ryan Naderi

    It's not a very convincing finish, but Rangers will take it!

    Jayden Richardson gifts the home side possession and Djeidi Gassama races away only to be denied by goalkeeper Jacob Chapman, but the ball spins against Ryan Naderi and somehow ends up in the net.

    Ryan Nadri does well to hold the ball up. Dragojevic will also be disappointed he hasn't hit the target.

  7. CLOSE!published at 16:09 BST 16 August

    Rangers 0-0 St Mirren

    Now Rangers' Vanja Dragojevic is looking to the heavens as he sends a shot narrowly by the post from 18 yards.

  8. 'Not far away'published at 16:08 BST 16 August

    It gets stuck under his feet a bit, but it wasn't far away. Just a yard or so past the post.

    Rangers 0-0 St Mirren

    Rangers have been doing all of the early pressing but the best chance falls to the visitors as Eseosa Sule wriggles free inside the penalty area but flashes a shot wide.

    He should really be hitting the target from there.

  10. CLOSE!published at 16:06 BST 16 August

    Stenhousemuir 0-0 Motherwell

    The host's Matthew Aitken nods a back-post header the wrong side of the upright.

    So, so close again for Stenny.

  11. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:02 BST 16 August

    Rangers 0-0 St Mirren

    Away we go at Ibrox.

  12. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 16:01 BST 16 August

    Stenhousemuir 0-0 Motherwell

    Stenhousemuir's Lewis O'Donnell picks up the ball on the edge of the box with a yard of space.

    He unleashes a powerful shot that cracks the inside of the post and zips all the way along the line to the corner flag.

    A sensational hit.

  13. FULL-TIME Hearts 6-2 Inverness CTpublished at 16:00 BST 16 August

    Seven second-half goals, the lead changing hands, it was a 45 minutes that had it all.

    Ultimately, Hearts proved too strong. Even when they went behind, it didn't last long before they found an equaliser.

    And while the third goal didn't come until the 82nd minute, they would make it four in 14 minutes to make it look like a battering.

    Goals from Christian Borchgrevink, Rogers Mato, Calvin Miller, James Wilson and Claudio Braga secure the win for Hearts.

  14. McLeish 'excited to throw in' Kabiapublished at 15:59 BST 16 August

    Rangers v St Mirren (16:00)

    On Ismeal Kabia being handed his debut, St Mirren boss Craig McLeish tells BBC Scotland: "It was a bit of a waiting game to get him involved with us. He's trained past couple of days.

    "We're excited to throw him in and see how he gets on. It's great for us but also great for him. He's got a lot of football league experience, this is the next step for him. It's exciting for him to get thrown into a venue like this."

    McLeish is wary of Rangers' threat despite their poor start to the season and says his team will continue to be "brave" in their approach.

    "It's our trophy," he adds. "Someone's going to have to fight us to take it off of us."

  15. McInnes wants 'big performance' from Penricepublished at 15:58 BST 16 August

    Rangers v St Mirren (16:00)

    On James Penrice being thrown in for his Rangers debut, manager Derek McInnes says: "It will give us a left-back, first and foremost. We don't have a left-footed defender available other than James.

    "It was good we managed to be proactive to get him here. He was desperate to come, that needs to be said. He's where he wants to be, hopefully we see a big performance from him."

    McInnes suggests Ryan Naderi might be better suited to playing as a lone striker and says his changes are also down to bringing freshness to his side.

    He is also convinced his team will improve when more attacking options are brought in by the club.

  16. Penrice starts for Rangers; St Mirren debut for Kabiapublished at 15:55 BST 16 August

    Rangers v St Mirren (16:00)

    Derek McInnes throws James Penrice straight in for his Rangers debut at left-back, while Vanja Dragojevic and Tochi Chukwuani come into midfield.

    Thelo Aasgaard is absent from the squad, with captain Lawrence Shankland and Dan Neil benched.

    Looks like a 4-3-3 shape with Ryan Naderi up top on his own.

    There's also a debut in the St Mirren team as on-loan Arsenal winger Ismeal Kabia starts, with Liam Donnelly coming into the defence.

    Marcus Fraser drops to the bench and Paul Nsio is ineligible to play against parent club Rangers.

    Calvin Miller

    Calvin Miller completes a late landslide of goals for the hosts.

    It's a cool finish too, as he rolls the ball under the keeper.

  18. Extra-time at Ochilviewpublished at 15:53 BST 16 August

    Stenhousemuir 0-0 Motherwell

    Another 30 minutes is not what Motherwell wanted before Thursday's Conference League play-off first leg.

    Claudio Braga

    A five-goal performance for Hearts, as Braga adds some gloss to the scoreline.

    This time, Borchgrevink squares and the Portuguese got his foot round it and hooked it into the top corner.

  20. FULL-TIME Hibernian 1-0 Partick Thistlepublished at 15:52 BST 16 August

    Much like the midweek performance in North Macedonia, it wasn't pretty but Hibs got the job done in the end.

    The first-half goal from Owen Elding, which was really well worked by David Gray's side, proved enough to see the Easter Road club into the quarter-finals of the Premier Sports Cup.

    A good display from Partick Thistle, who will probably feel unlucky not to have at least forced extra-time with some of the chances they had in the second half.
