    Rogers Mato

    That's how you respond.

    Hearts hit back immediately after going behind, and it's a piece of brilliance from Sabah Kerjota.

    The Albanian beats his man all ends up before clipping a cross into the box, which Rogers Mato rises to meet. The two wingers combine to devastating effect.

  2. PENALTY TO PARTICK THISTLEpublished at 15:20 BST 16 August

    Joe Newell penalised for handball...The Hibs captain can't believe that decision.

    Alfie Bavidge

    The Highlanders have turned it round at Tynecastle!

    From one end of the pitch to the other, Alfie Stewart slips the ball in behind Stuart Findlay to find Alfie Bavidge.

    The striker takes it round the keeper and slides it past the covering defender. Two goals in two minutes.

    Hibernian 1-0 Partick Thistle

    Owen Elding is one-on-one with the Thistle goalkeeper after a marvellous pass from Nathan Lowe but a heavy touch allows Liam McFarlane to gets hands on the ball.

    It falls to Jamie McGrath 20 yards out, but he can only loft a first-time chip onto the roof of the Thistle net.

    Ryan Duncan

    It's a simple ball over the top from Danny Devine, picking out Duncan.

    The former Aberdeen winger takes a brilliant touch and pokes it past Beau Reus for the equaliser.

    A bolt from the blue-and-red.

    Stenhousemuir 0-0 Motherwell

    Much better from Motherwell.

    They drive forward at speed and cut it back to Tawanda Maswanhise on the edge of the area.

    His first-time effort zips wide of the post, but they have finally shown the attacking impetus to create a clear-cut chance.

    Hearts 1-0 Inverness CT

    Sabah Kerjota is full of beans on the Hearts' right-hand side.

    He's always keen to chop onto his left foot, and he does so again as he blasts a shot that deflects just over the bar.

    Meanwhile, Caley Thistle boss Scott Kellacher goes to his bench and brings Liam Sole on for Adam MacKinnon.

  8. Can Wilson impress Vrancken?published at 15:14 BST 16 August

    This could be a big 45 minutes for James Wilson. The teenage striker has had limited outings under Wouter Vrancken since returning from a loan spell at Tottenham last season.

    This is a real opportunity to shine ahead of Thursday's Conference League play-off tie against Rapid Vienna.

    Hearts 1-0 Inverness CT

    Tom Renaud lines one up from distance, on his weaker left foot, at an angle.

    The Hearts midfielder catches it sweetly but it's a yard or two wide. Clearly still confident after his screamer last weekend against Dundee United.

    Stenhousemuir 0-0 Motherwell

    Emmanuel Longelo bursts down the left, darts into the box, and wins his side a throw-in deep in the Stenhousemuir half.

    That one turn of pace from the substitute is more dynamic than anything the visitors managed in the first half.

    Hearts 1-0 Inverness CT

    Inverness make the brighter start as Ryan Duncan bursts into the box, prodding the ball to Alfie Stewart, who nods down to Alfie Bavidge, but he badly slices his shot.

    Decent chance for the visitors there.

    Thistle assistant Alex Rae had studs on first half, but now it's trainers. A quick wardrobe change at half-time, it seems.

    Must’ve been told by Mark Wilson he wasn’t getting a look-in…

    Hearts 1-0 Inverness CT

    Hearts make a change, with James Wilson coming on for Amadou Ba-Sy to lead the line.

    The 19-year-old has only made late cameos in this campaign. Now boss Wouter Vrancken has a chance to get a proper look at him.

    Hibernian 1-0 Partick Thistle

    A lovely turn and pass from Kanayo Megwa inside the Thistle box sets up a shooting chance for Owen Elding but the effort is blocked.

    Then Adam Mayor crashes the ball into the side-netting, with striker Nathan Lowe screaming for a pass in the six yard box.

    Not in the least surprised to see Alex Lowry and Emanuel Longelo emerge for the second period.

    Ibrahim Said and Euan Wilson are the players hooked at half-time.

    Alfred Johansson clearly looking for better from his side.

    The supporter in distress has since been taken out of the stand, with fellow fans asked not to congregate out there during half-time.

    They received lengthy treatment from the quick-acting paramedics and Hibs medical staff.

    Can only send the best of wishes.

  19. McInnes' Rangers facing crisis as St Mirren visit Ibroxpublished at 14:53 BST 16 August

    Rangers v St Mirren (16:00)

    "We could just do with winning a game," said Derek McInnes earlier this week.

    He can say that again. After four games without a victory, the Rangers boss has made the worst start of any permanent Ibrox manager.

    Boos were loud in Govan when McInnes' men were dumped out of Europa League qualifying in midweek, now he's hoping to avoid League Cup elimination.

    The League Cup is the only major trophy the experienced coach has won during his managerial career, coming more than a decade ago with Aberdeen.

    He has work to do to convince the Rangers support he is the man to bring silverware back to Ibrox on a consistent basis. A win at home to cup holders St Mirren today would be a start.

  20. HALF-TIME Hearts 1-0 Inverness CTpublished at 14:50 BST 16 August

    Hearts go in with the lead and it's probably deserved as they've controlled large portions of this half.

    However, they were given an early scare when Alfie Bavidge volleyed home after an Alfie Stewart cross. The Aberdeen-loanee was offside though.

    Shortly after, Hearts were awarded a penalty when Amadou Ba-Sy was fouled. However, that was also ruled out after a VAR intervention decided the contact was outside the box.

    Not to be deterred, the hosts scored immediately when Christian Borchgrevink nodded in the rebound after the free-kick hit the wall.
