By Thomas McGuigan

1704: Now then. Just when five SPL games look like drifting to a gentle conclusion, a few goals and goalmouth scrambles sets the cat amongst the pigeons.

A profligate Rangers side hold off a furious St Mirren fightback to move to within a point of league leaders Celtic, while Kilmarnock inflict Dundee United's first league defeat in 11 games.

Hearts and Falkirk secure victories over Inverness and Motherwell respectively.

And Steven Fletcher's equaliser four minutes into injury-time clinches a dramatic point for Hibs against a shell-shocked Aberdeen.

Thanks again for your company and all your comments today. I'm off for a quick rest before tomorrow's game between Hamilton and Celtic.

Cheers!

1648: FULL-TIME

Falkirk 1-0 Motherwell

Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

1645: We're into the closing minutes at the five SPL grounds.

1643: Nerves are jangling at Ibrox. St Mirren are awarded a free-kick on the edge of the box. McGregor produces a brilliant save to deny Craig Dargo.

What an end to this game!

1640: "I think Craig Levein will be quite disappointed with his team's performance today."BBC Radio Scotland pundit Jim Duffy

1639: "Hopefully, Aberdeen can hold on and my prediction of them winning 2 - 1 will come true!" DenzilVoorhees on My Sport

Join the debate

1637: GOAL

Rangers 2-1 St Mirren

Franco Miranda slides the ball past Allan McGregor to give Saints hopes of somehow, taking something from this game. Nine minutes to go. If Saints take anything from this game, Kenny Miller will be one unhappy camper.

1636: Falkirk are holding onto their slender lead with reasonable ease. Motherwell have rarely threatened although Bairns keeper Scott Flinders made a fine save from David Clarkson moments ago.

1635: Gary Hay's shot for Kilmarnock is blocked by the United defence.

1634: Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield denies Steven Fletcher an equaliser at Easter Road. The stadium has come alive. Can Hibs secure an unlikely point?

Join the debate

1632: In a rare foray forward, St Mirren's Dennis Wyness fires just wide from inside the penalty area. Incredibly, that would have made it 2-1.

1629: Kenny Miller hits the bar from inside the six-yard box from Kirk Broadfoot's low cross. That must have been his 3,000th attempt on goal today.

He must feel like going home, forgetting about the game, putting the light out and watching Turner and Hooch on DVD.

1628: "Despite the mistake in the first half, it takes a character like Rob Jones to get Hibs back in the game." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson

1627: "Ahh good old united, as soon as we get a bit of momentum this kind of thing happens." siradriansmythe on My Sport

Join the debate

1625: Dundee United midfielder Scott Robertson tumbles in the box under Willie Gibson's challenge, but the referee is unsighted and waves the appeals away. No way back for The Arabs at the moment.

1623: "Hibs are hopeless - If they persist with Mixu then the dreaded drop is a severe possibility, perhaps not this season but certainly next. Yogi we are calling!!" Hibevis on My Sport

Would an equaliser against the Dons alter your view?

1621 GOAL

Hibernian 1-2 Aberdeen

Hibernian captain Rob Jones heads home after Derek Riordan's. Game on at Easter Road with just over half an hour remaining!

Join the debate

1619: Kenny Miller is denied by the brilliant Mark Howard in the St Mirren goal. Miller shakes his head ruefully. I don't know what he's got to do to score today.

St Mirren manager Gus MacPherson can hardly watch. He looks battle-weary amid the blood-letting at Ibrox. It's 2-0 going on 10!

1618: Scotland have lost 14-10 against South Africa at Murrayfield

1616: Falkirk's Graham Barrett stabs the ball wide from close range with Smith stranded. His initial strike came off the 'Well keeper but he skewed the rebound wide. That was a great chance for the Bairns to seal victory.

1615: GOAL

Kilmarnock 2-0 Dundee Utd

David Fernandez puts Kilmarnock two up against United, who are in danger of losing their 10-game unbeaten run.

Fernandez taps the ball in from six yards from James Fowler's superb cross. Kilmarnock fully merit their lead.

1614: United top scorer Francisco Sandaza twists and turns to hold off defender Simon Ford but the striker's shot hits the side netting.

1613: GOAL

Hibernian 0-2 Aberdeen

The unmarked Zander Diamond heads his first goal of the season to give the Dons' a two-goal cushion over a dispirited Hibs. Some of the home fans have seen enough.

1612: "I'll be surprised if Kenny Miller ever scores again to be honest." KrisBoydIsLegend on My Sport

Join the debate

1609: Kenny Miller misses an absolute sitter at Ibrox! After speeding past goalkeeper Mark Howard, the Scotland international contrives to blaze over the bar when it looked easier to score.

1607: Bad news from Murrayfield. South Africa have eased 14-10 ahead of Scotland.

1606: Rangers captain Barry Ferguson can't believe it. He steps inside Franco Miranda, but his shot is brilliantly clawed away for a corner by Mark Howard. What a save!

1604: "Hard to believe Killie are ahead of Dundee Utd, although they did need a penalty to do it. Only 6 points between the two teams as well, thanks to their different fortunes early in the season... but I wouldn't be surprised if United can claw themselves back." Qatarbhoy on My Sport

I think you're spot on. I'd be surprised if Craig Levein's side don't find an equaliser.

1603: "There's just not a strong element in the Hibs team, and they've gifted Aberdeen a goal. Jimmy Calderwood's men will probably sit in now and hit Hibs on the break." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson

1601: We're under way for the second half at the five SPL grounds.

1556: After a quick cup of tea, I'm ready for the second half. Let's hope for a good few more goals. Saints manager Gus MacPherson looked as shell-shocked as Laura when she got voted off the X-Factor.

Can his side recover from 2-0 down at Ibrox?

Kilmarnock 1-0 Dundee Utd

Rangers 2-0 St Mirren

1546: GOAL

Kilmarnock 1-0 Dundee United

Jamie Hamill fires the hosts in front at Rugby Park from the penalty spot past Lukasz Zaluska.

1544: The game at Ibrox has slowed to walking pace. Rangers have this game under complete control and there's very little St Mirren can do about it.

1543: Falkirk's Michael Higdon is on a hot streak of form - that's the big striker's third goal in three games.

1541: GOAL

Hibernian 0-1 Aberdeen

Darren Mackie heads the visitors in front at Easter Road. That's his fourth league goal of the season. Can the Dons hold on for their second consecutive victory?

Join the debate

1539: "I haven't been blessed with thrilling encounters over the last few weeks and this game is no different." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Jim Duffy reflects on a disappointing first half at Rugby Park

1536: GOAL

Falkirk 1-0 Motherwell

Michael Higdon takes advantage of calamitous Motherwell defending to break the deadlock at the Falkirk Stadium. Higdon blasts the ball past Graeme Smith from the edge of the box after chesting down Graham Barret's cross.

That's his sixth goal of the season.

1535: "After the contrasting games against Killie and Motherwell, and now today, do we need Ferguson in the team?" ChopzUK on My Sport

1532: Sounds like a pretty humdrum game between Falkirk and Motherwell. The teams are evenly matched but goal-scoring chances have been at a premium.

1530: "There's been absolutely nothing happening in front of goal." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Jim Duffy must be wishing he had a good book at Rugby Park

1528: St Mirren manager Gus MacPherson cuts a forlorn figure in the dugout at Ibrox. The game has been stopped so that Will Haining can receive treatment.

The Saints rearguard have been swarming round the Rangers players like the Anthill Mob - but the Ibrox side have been too sharp for them.

Join the debate

1527: Over at the Falkirk Stadium, Motherwell's Sean Fitzpatrick screws a left-foot shot past the post from only six yards. That should have been 1-0 to the visitors.

1526: Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield thwarts Dean Shiels with a fantastic save. Still goalless at Easter Road.

1525: Kilmarnock goalkeeper Alan Combe spills a cross and after the ball falls to Craig Conway, the United winger fires off target.

1524: The effervescent Miller again finds himself in a great position in the six-yard box after a neat move involving Adam and Boyd, but his shot is blocked by a gaggle of Saints' defenders.

The Saints are struggling to stem the blue tide at Ibrox, the hosts are relentless!

1523: GOAL

Inverness CT 0-1 Hearts

Bruno Aguiar drills a left-foot shot past Esson after collecting Andrew Driver's pass. Hearts take the lead against the run of play.

That's his second goal of the season. His first came in the 1-1 Edinburgh derby draw at Easter Road.

1522: Pedro Mendes threads the ball through for Kenny Miller, who spins and hits a goal-bound shot which is deflected over the bar.

1521: Kilmarnock midfielder Mehdi Taouil is booked for dissent after being penalised for shoving Morgaro Gomis. Plenty of passion at Rugby Park in the opening 20 minutes, but goalscoring opportunities have been few and far between.

1520: Derek Riordan embarks on a diagonal run and flashes in a left-foot shot which hits the post and bounces clear.

1517: Inverness defender Ross Tokely heads over from inside the six-yard box that clears the crossbar. The hosts are putting Hearts under increasing pressure.

1516: There's an explosion of noise coming from the radio desk behind me. The cheers must mean there's been a Scotland try at Murrayfield. The Scots are 10-0 up!

1514: Mehdi Taouil steals the ball in midfield and shows a delightful turn before releasing the ball to David Fernandez, but he's caught offside.

1513: "Hibs defender Ian Murray thought he was aiming for the top corner of the goal, but he ended up putting it into the top corner of the stand"BBC Radio Scotland pundit Craig Paterson

Sounds like he should be bolstering Scotland's ranks against the Springboks at Murrayfield

Join the debate

1511: Andrew Driver fires in a shot that's comfortably saved by Inverness goalkeeper Ryan Esson.

1510: GOAL

Rangers 2-0 St Mirren

Steven Davis finishes a flowing move involving Kris Boyd and Kenny Miller to slide the ball past Howard. Rangers scent blood and this could be a long, long afternoon for St Mirren.

1508: St Mirren's Franco Miranda heads over the bar from inside the box as Gus MacPherson's side look to restore parity. Entertaining stuff at Ibrox so far.

1506: Kenny Miller darts through the heart of the Saints defence, rounds keeper Mark Howard and floats the ball back into the box but Mendes' downward header lacks power and the chance is gone.

1505: A quiet opening at Rugby Park as Dundee United aim to extend a run of 10 games unbeaten, while Killie are looking to arrest a sequence of five defeats.

1504: GOAL

Rangers 1-0 St Mirren

Kris Boyd collects a pass from striking partner Kenny Miller and fires home a superb shot low into the left-hand corner past the helpless Mark Howard.

That's Boyd's 10th league goal for the season.

1502: Kris Boyd plays in Charlie Adam on the edge of the Saints box but his left-foot snap-shot fizzes high and wide.

1501: Rangers striker Kenny Miller loses control in the box as the hosts look to get an early goal at Ibrox.

1500: And we're under way!

1455: "Same United line-up that played so well second half against Hibs. I would love to see the unbeaten run continue but it's going to be tough. I've gotten over-excited about United in the past and been let down badly!" siradriansmythe on My Sport

1346: "Rangers 4-0 today. Boydchenko hat-trick" TheRealWYP on My Sport

Boyd must be confident of adding to his nine league goals when he faces St Mirren at Ibrox today. Interesting to hear Rangers manager Walter Smith say he expects Kyle Lafferty to play as a striker.

But Kenny Miller seems to be establishing a sound partnership with Boyd. When should the former Burnley man be given his chance to shine?

1320: Good afternoon one and all! It's Saturday and once again SPL fever is sweeping the nation. We've got five games to get our football juices going.

Rangers have the chance to close the gap on SPL leaders Celtic to a point if they can overcome St Mirren at Ibrox.

Hibernian are looking for their first league win in six attempts and manager Mixu Paatelainen will be demanding an improvement when his side take on Aberdeen at Easter Road.

Inverness can close the gap on fourth-placed Hearts with victory over the Jambos and Kilmarnock host high-flying Dundee United - with Craig Levein's men undefeated in 10 games.

Falkirk entertain Motherwell in our fifth fixture and here's hoping for goals and incidents aplenty!
