Dundee 0-2 Hibernian
Felix Passlack scored a great goal the other night and he almost gets another one.
A burst of energy in the final third takes the right-back into a shooting position and his powerful effort is just over.
Hibs claim a corner for a touch by the goalkeeper, but goal kick is the decision.

St Mirren 3-2 Motherwell
St Mirren goalkeeper Champan is celebrating Henry Fieldson's block like a goal and rightly so. The defender makes a vital challenge to deny Seb Palmer-Houlden from close range.
The Buddies goalkeeper is then forced to tip Eythor Bjorgolfsson's header over the bar before the Norwegian's second goes wide.

Dundee 0-2 Hibernian
A bit more like it for Dundee as first Alan Forrest and Joe Bevan make yards in the wide areas, but Hibs stand up to the threat.
St Mirren 3-2 Motherwell
Motherwell are having to defend here as St Mirren pop shots towards Alex Paulsen's goal.
Eventually they win a free-kick to calm things down.
St Mirren 3-2 Motherwell
Emmanuel Longelo goes down under Ryan Carr's challenge about 25 yards from the St Mirren goal.
The left-back stands over the free-kick, which he bends towards the back post, where Martin Moormann is charging in.
However, the defender can't get a decent connection and the ball goes behind for a goal-kick.
St Mirren 3-2 Motherwell
Now it's St Mirren's turn to create.
The cross comes to Eseosa Sule on the right, he hangs back and waits for a few teammates to join him, but Motherwell defend well.

Hibs rampant now.
Jamie McGrath has the left-hand side of the box to himself as the ball ricochets into his path and his downward volley is well saved by goalkeeper Owen Goodman.

Alan Forrest and Finn Roberston are on for Bradley Felix and Charlie Reilly for Dundee and winger Forrest threatens with a shot over from the left of the box.
St Mirren 3-2 Motherwell
Another chance for Motherwell after a lovely passage of play.
They work the ball from right to left as they progress up the pitch, but the final pass for Emmanuel Longelo isn't quite right and the left-back smashes the side netting with his strike from close range.

Hibs deserve it. The midfield three have been brilliant all day. It's not an easy finish for Wright and he manages to tuck it away into the corner.
You have to say 2-0 is deserved.
St Mirren 3-2 Motherwell
End-to-end stuff in Paisley.
Tawanda Maswanhise almost gets on the end of a wonderful cross to the back post from Emmanuel Longelo.
That'll be the forward's last act of the game. He and Regan Charles-Cook are replaced with Seb Palmer-Houlden and Jardell Kanga, the former Ilves winger making his Motherwell debut.
Callum Wright
Just as Dundee boss Steven Pressley was preparing changes, his side are two goals down as Callum Wright slots home.
It's a terrific goal that owes a lot to the endeavour of Felix Passlack, whose run and cross is just begging for a finish, which midfielder Wright provides from just inside the box.
Dundee 0-1 Hibernian
The opportunities are not happening as readily for Hibs.
Jamie McGrath is leaning back as the midfielder lifts a shot well off target from the edge of the box.

The middle of the pitch area is still an issue for Dundee.
They started the second half better, but now is the time to make a change.
Dundee 0-1 Hibernian
Already in this second half, Dundee have managed to get Joe Bevan on the ball a few times and what a difference it's making.
The winger's latest cross is held by goalkeeper Raphael Sallinger, but Bevan did so well to make the space.
The attack came just after Jamie McGrath tested goalkeeper Owen Goodman at the other end.
This game surely has more goals in it.
St Mirren 3-2 Motherwell
Substitute Stephen O'Donnell is immediately in the book for a foul on Ismeal Kabia.
The resulting set-piece ricochets off two Motherwell players and is sent behind for a corner.
St Mirren threatening early on in the second half.
Dundee 0-1 Hibernian
Almost the perfect start to the second half for Dundee.
Joe Bevan's cross is deflected right across the face of the Hibs goal and Felix Passlack has to clear.
Moments later, Bradley Fink's shot is blocked into the path of Charlie Reilly, but the midfielder gets his bearings all wrong with the volley.

Belgium midfielder Raskin absent for Rangers again amid transfer talk
Lawrence Shankland's second-half penalty prevented pressure intensifying on manager Derek McInnes as Rangers edged out Aberdeen to earn their first Scottish Premiership victory of the season.
McInnes urged his side to respond at Pittodrie after a Conference League qualifying exit to Jablonec on Thursday denied his team European football for the season and continued his troubling start.
A mix of profligacy and a lack of quality looked like it would plague Rangers again, but a careless lunge from Dan Happe on Djeidi Gassama allowed captain Shankland to fire a spot-kick into the top-right corner.
The Ibrox boss and his players breathed a huge sigh of relief when an on-field review judged Kevin Nisbet to have pushed Dujon Sterling moments before the Aberdeen striker thought he had headed in a late equaliser.

Despite another unconvincing display, one positive for McInnes was the introduction of Kim Min-su, who impressed on his debut and provided something different in attack.
In the first half, the South Korean was denied by a last-ditch Lewis Mayo block before a goalline intervention from Afeez Aremu prevented Shankland converting the rebound.
In a game that turned chaotic in spells, Kim then had a fierce long-range free-kick tipped over the bar by goalkeeper Marius Muller before Shankland's decisive penalty.
Aberdeen failed to create for much of the contest but passed up two early opportunities when Happe failed to connect cleanly with a back-post attempt and Mitchy Ntelo forced Ivor Pandur down to his right.
Pre-match, Stephen Robinson spoke about "stability" and "continuity" after naming an unchanged side following Aberdeen's 3-0 League Cup last-16 win over Dundee last time out.
But this was a display that will have Dons fans still asking questions after another fluctuating performance.
Former Aberdeen defender Mark Reynolds mentioned a "lack of penetration" on BBC Sportsound, with Robinson's men ending the contest with their expected goals (xG) rating from open play at just 0.15.
They forced Rangers to panic at times, but this will feel like an opportunity missed. Over their three league matches, their total accumulated open-play xG stands at 0.71.
As well as Kim impressing on his debut following his arrival on Thursday, Gassama had one of his better Rangers performances more than a year after joining.
The winger threatened in the first half, along with Kim and fellow wideman Findlay Curtis, as McInnes' side responded to a shaky start.
Rangers were far from convincing, both with and without the ball, and McInnes will know there is still a mountain of work to get through.
But after a bruising week, he will hope the green shoots from a hard-fought win away to his former club can develop into more stable foundations.
McInnes pleased with 'deserved' Rangers win
Aberdeen boss Stephen Robinson: "I'm disappointed about the result of course. I didn't think there was a lot in the game. The key moments went against us and probably cost us the game - they cost us a point at least.
"If I give my thoughts [on the decisions] I'll get a five or six-match ban. [The players] showed better quality in the second half. The expectation was on Aberdeen to take the game to Rangers and I didn't think we did that well enough."
Rangers manager Derek McInnes: "Contrasting feelings from Thursday night. It was a tough few days for us all. I thought today we were far more like the Rangers team I want us to be.
"[Kim Min-su] coming in gives us a much-needed dose of quality. We've been searching for that for a while. We've waited a long time for him and been a bit frustrated we haven't got him in quicker.
"The best part for me was the competitiveness of the team was clear. We get our clean sheet and it was a deserved win."
