1510: "The game is being played mostly in the Falkirk half and, if you keep falling back, you are going to eventually concede chances. So, for me, Falkirk have to play higher up the park." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Sandy Clark at Tannadice.

1508: Rangers midfielder Steven Davis gets another glimpse of goal but can only fire his shot straight into the arms of Tomas Cerny.

1506: A ball over the top catches the Hamilton defence on the hop and Steven Davis brings the ball down before having his first shot blocked by goalkeeper Tomas Cerny and the Northern Ireland midfielder fires the rebound wide.

Goooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

My Sport
From madscot125 on My Sport: "I'm hoping for another win for the Well. I'm never sure what team Gannon is going to pick so I'm guessing he plays whoever is on form. That suits me fine and hopefully should prove fruitful during the campaign. Bring on another 3 points, I wouldn't mind going on another tour."

1431: Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist on his contract coming to an end in January: "It probably should bother me. It doesn't. Basically all we're concentrating on is the team on the park. I don't have any doubt that we'll sit down with the chief executive and iron something out one way or another."

1426: Hamilton boss Billy Reid talking to BBC Radio Scotland at Ibrox: "We realise the situation we're in and how difficult things have been. We come here with nothing to lose. If we can get a foothold in the game and frustrate the fans then you never know."

1422: Team news from Pittodrie:
Aberdeen: Langfield, Mulgrew, Foster, Considine, Crawford, Ifil, Fyvie, Kerr, Miller, Mackie, Aluko. Subs: Nelson, Maguire, Young, Duff, Grassi, Paton, Hansson.
Motherwell: Ruddy, Hammell, Saunders, Reynolds, Craigan, Coke, Hateley, O'Brien, Forbes, Murphy, Jutkiewicz. Subs: Kosiorowski, Jennings, Sutton, Lasley, McGarry, Page

1419: Gary Mason will make his Hamilton debut at Ibrox, with the former St Mirren midfielder having agreed a short-term deal. Rangers welcome back Pedro Mendes to midfield, while Kris Boyd starts up front.

From Jim, Kilmarnock, via text on 80295: "Wish BBC Radio Scotland would stop all this nonsense about the Old Firm going to England. It's never going to happen and its becoming an embarrassment."

1415: Bad news for Kilmarnock. Kevin Kyle has a knee injury and will be sidelined for at least three weeks. The big striker will miss out on Scotland's double-header against Macedonia and Holland after winning a recall to the international set-up.

My Sport
From BlueHeaven on My Sport: "Most folk will expect an easy win for the Gers - but you just never know."

1410: Welcome to weekend number three in the Scottish Premier League. The goals have been coming thick and fast so far this season, so let's hope for more of the same...
