1710: Well, that comment from Cogito_ergo_scum sums it all up, I think.

Thanks a lot for all your input on My Sport

Join us again tomorrow for Hibernian v Celtic from 1400 GMT. Should be a cracker!

Or if you want to chat more about today's matches or football in general, call 0500 92 95 00 and give Jim Traynor some grief on Your Call.

I'm off for a few mulled wines.

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday.

1706: "I actually love the SPL. What a set of fixtures! Made up for the two cancelled ones and then some with all those goals!" Cogito_ergo_scum My Sport

Today has been quite something. Fifteen goals in three games.

I wonder if that's some kind of record...

Anyone?

1703: Billy Reid looks grim after that.

1659: "YES! SEVEN!" Neutral commentary there? cheers for that. says audacious_attempt.

What? Am I the only one who was surprised at the margin of Rangers' win?

Join the debate on My Sport

1656: Poor old Accies. They've gone back to the bottom with a crash, a bang and a wallop.

If ANYONE had that scoreline in The Predictor I'd be amazed.

1653: FULL-TIME: Inverness CT 1-3 Dundee United

1652: FULL-TIME: Falkirk 1-2 St Mirren

1649: "Looks like Hamilton are getting what they deserve for there shambolic actions at Tannadice last week." Feed_Sandaza on My Sport

Ouch! Talk about kicking a dog when it's down!

Bad blood still remains between Accies and United after their managers' war of words.

1648: FULL-TIME Rangers 7-1 Hamilton Accies

Rangers record the biggest win of the season.

1647: GOAL! Rangers 7-1 Hamilton Accies

YES! SEVEN!

Steve Davis signals his return to the side with a goal.

1646: GOAL! Rangers 6-1 Hamilton Accies

Nacho Novo rubs salt in to the Accies wounds, slipping the ball past Tomas Cerny after getting on the end of Aaron's cross.

1644: Ooh! Controversy at the Falkirk Stadium. BBC Scotland pundit Allan Preston says the Bairns should have perhaps had a penalty after Jack Ross used his hand in the penalty area

1642: "ok I'm resigned to getting hardly any points this week now. Who would have thought there could be this many goals in just 3 spl games? Bizarre." donkamero STPOFBETRC on My Sport

Couldn't have put it any better - 13 goals so far from just THREE games!?!

1639: GOAL! Rangers 5-1 Hamilton Accies

Kyle Lafferty taps home after Hamilton fail to clear Novo's cross.

"This is turning in to a bit of a rout now." Richard Gordon.

A bit?

Oh, and thanks a bunch, Kyle. Could you not have left it for a few more minutes?

1638: Please - no goals for a few minutes. I'm begging you for mercy.

A but like Duffy.

1636: Spanish midfielder Aaron is given his Rangers debut as a substitute forDaMarcus Beasley.

1635: "Damn Rangers scored and ruined my 3 points on predictor. But 1-1 for St Mirren, and 2-0 for Dundee Utd, if that stays like that 6 more points for me," says donkamero STPOFBETRC on My Sport

Err... you're in for a shock now!

That message only came in five minutes ago too!

1632: GOAL! Falkirk 1-2 St Mirren

The Buddies re-take the lead through Dennis Wyness.

It's the former Inverness man's first goal since last October.

Barnstorming finish there. The Saints will go off the bottom if they can hold on.

1630: GOAL! Inverness 1-3 Dundee United

My fingers are starting to blister now...

After opening my big gub - Adam Rooney pulls a goal back for the Highlanders.

1628: GOAL! Inverness CT 0-3 Dundee United

This match has gone from dull to dynamite!

David Robertson surely seals the points for United.

1625:Kenny Miller twice has the ball cleared off the line by Alex Neil as Rangers press for a fifth.

It's the Scotland man's last contribution of the game. He leaves the pitch to a standing ovation to be replaced by Nacho Novo.

1623: GOAL! Falkirk 1-1 St Mirren

What's going on - have I missed something? Is it goals o'clock?

Steve Lovell puts Falkirk back in the game.

The striker was gifted a goal after Saints 'keeper Mark Howard blundered and the former Aberdeen man found the net despite claims of offside from the St Mirren defence.

1622:GOAL! Inverness CT 0-2 Dundee United

I'm struggling to keep up now! Gie's a brek!

Craig Conway half-volleys the ball home to put Dundee United two ahead against Inverness.

1620:GOAL! Rangers 4-1 Hamilton Accies

And it's a HAT-TRICK for Boyd!

The forward taps into an empty net from Steven Davis' cross. It's his second hat-trick of the season.

1619: Beasley is looks determined to stake his claim for a regular starting berth at Rangers.

Another run and shot from the American goes just past the post.

1615: RED CARD:

Falkirk's Jackie McNamara sees red for a late lunge on goal-scorer Jim Hamilton.

If I were him I'd get bathed and home before Yogi gets hold of him, as Falkirk will find it tough to get back in to this match now.

By the way, interesting stat from Richard Gordon - Accies have had FIVE red cards this season.

1614: Accies defender Canning isn't having much luck against the Old Firm this season.

If you remember he was sent off against Celtic at home a few weeks ago.

1612: "Have I missed something? ...is the Dons game off?" Alan from Livingston on 80295

Alan, Alan, Alan....

1609: GOAL! Rangers 3-1 Hamilton Accies

They're coming thick and fast(ish) now!

Martin Canning is sent off after felling Boyd in the box.

Boyd grabs the ball and sends Cerny the wrong way.

Game over now at Ibrox?

My Sport

1608: GOAL! Inverness 0-1 Dundee United

Jon Daly puts the Arabs ahead from A Danny Swanson cross.

That's more like it! Maybe Scott Davie has perked up now.

1604: Motherwell have issued an apology to Hearts and their fans for today's call-off.

Cogito_ergo_scum says: "I hope the problem doesn't snowball at Fir Park and that there isn't as much of a fixture pile-up as there was after winter last season."

Although given the lack - nay, complete absence - of European football after Christmas for Scottish clubs, it might not prove so troublesome this season, n'est-ce pas?

My Sport

1602: We're off again already! And I didn't even get a chance to nip off for half-time oranges!

1558: "Maybe the groundsman should have switched the undersoil heating off last night so we could do something else this afternoon." BBC Radio Scotland commentator Scott Davie at Caledonian Stadium.

Caley Thistle's heating actually worked - unlike Motherwell's and Killie's.

1555: BBC Scotland pundit Stephen Frail wonders if our producers are indulging in a bit of match-making - given it's the third match in-a-row he's been paired with commentator Kheredine Idessane.

Oo-err!

Meanwhile, Kheredine describes Falkirk's first-half display at home to St Mirren as "limp and lacklustre."

Oo-err!

1554: "Hamilton may still have a chance if they just keep firing shots at McGregor as he looks as if he doesn't want to be there." shrek69

My Sport

1551: It's been a really entertaining first half at Ibrox. Lots of chances at both ends.

It doesn't look like Accies have fallen back to 4-5-1 either.

1549: "The Falkirk fans boo as the half-time whilst goes and there's no question the visitors should be in the lead at this stage, but it's St Mirren who hold on to a narrow lead thanks for Jim Hamilton."BBC Sport commentator Kheredine Idessane.

I wouldn't want to be in Bairns boss John Hughes' dressing room right now.

1548: HALF-TIME: Falkirk 0-1 St Mirren

1547: HALF-TIME: Rangers 2-1 Hamilton Accies

1546: HALF-TIME: Inverness CT 0-0 Dundee United

"At the moment, the game is very well poised. It is 50-50, with neither team getting on top." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Brian Irvine at Caledonian Stadium

Report card: Must do better

1542: GOAL! Falkirk 0-1 St Mirren

The Buddies take a deserved lead according to Allan Presto.

Jack Ross, playing against his old team, fires the ball in at Olejnik.

But the Austrian can only parry to the feat of Jim Hamilton who taps in from just yards out.

That's more like it - we're just waiting for a goal at Inverness now.

1541: BournemouthBluenose says: "I'm confident we'll win this one easy but I'm getting tired of McGregor's mistakes. He's been poor all season so far, very poor at cross balls, Alexander deserves a shot."

Whaddya think?

My Sport

1538: "I've just noticed that Accies keeper Tomas Cerny is wearing one white boot and one black boot." Chick Young at Ibrox.

Eh?

1537:Chris Swailes volleys over from 12 yards as Hamilton threaten at a set piece.

The Accies are far from finished in this one.

1535: "Dundee United are playing the slicker football but Inverness are looking really dangerous on the break. Although it doesn't look like anyone's going to score soon." BBC Scotland's John Robertson at the Caledonian Stadium.

1533: Boyd beats the offside trap to smash a shot off Cerny's crossbar.

You wouldn't rule out lots more goals in this one.

KrisBoydIsLegend has been back on by the way: "I take back everything I said. I love you Kris Boyd."

My Sport

1529: GOAL! Rangers 2-1 Hamilton Accies

Kris Boyd slots the ball in to the same spot as Kenny Miller, who set him up.

The gloom over Ibrox has lifted and the Gers look to be in full flow.

Beasley is causing all sorts of problems... and Barry Ferguson also comes close.

1528: Sounds likeSt Mirren boss Gus MacPherson is getting a talking too by the law for his colourful language.

But it seems to be motivating his team - Olejnik makes a fantastic double save from Saints hotshot Stephen McGinn.

1524:Kevin McBride takes paint off the St Mirren crossbar with a long range shot.

The Falkirk Stadium is coming to life.

More goals please lads.

1523: Another Dorman strike for St Mirren, but Robert Olejnik saved.

The Buddies are doing their best to try and get off the bottom.

1521: Kenny Miller is just out-muscled as he tries to connect with Beasley's cut back.

Almost 2-1 to Rangers there.

"Hamilton are missing their top striker Richard Offiong but Joel Thomas is putting up a good show." BBC Radio Scotland commentator John Barnes

1520: Inverness have just extended their shirt sponsorship deal with Flybe until the summer of 2010.

When's this match going to get off the ground with some goals then?

Sorry.

1518: Not too much early incident at the Falkirk Stadium.
Nearly 20 minutes gone and the only bit of action worth mentioning is an Andy Dorman shot after eight minutes that well went wide of the Falkirk post.

1517: Don Cowie narrowly misses out for Inverness as he tries to lobLukasz Zaluska in the United goal.

1513: "Hamilton are as quick off the mark as their F1 namesake. Mon the other hoops!" QatarBhoy.

A Felipe Massa moment there QatarBhoy. The race ain't run till the chequered flag falls... or somethin'.

Keep 'em coming on My Sport

1512: GOAL! Rangers 1-1 Hamilton Accies

Kenny Miller gets Rangers back level at Ibrox witha rasping low drive from just inside the box.

Accies keeper Tomas Cerny has only just palmed away a previous Miller pile-driver as well.

Game on!

1511: Looks like the Bairns are playing sloppily early on.

"Every time Falkirk get the ball, they're giving it back to St Mirren and putting themselves under pressure." BBC Scotland pundit Stevie Frail.

1510: Actually - it was James McCarthy who scored for Accies.

Do you forgive me?

1506: "Walter, go away, just go away you tactically inept idiot. 1-0 after 2 minutes," says KrisBoydIsLegend on My Sport .

A bit premature maybe? Just a blip? Long way to go yet...

Then again, Rangers have been excellent at home all season. Normally it's them who are up after two minutes of late.

1501: GOAL! No sooner does Ibrox kick-off than Accies score!

Rangers goalie Alan McGregor makes a poor fist of a punch away - and James McCarthy lobs the ball coolly over Madjid Bougherra into the net.

What a start!

1500: KICK-OFF!... at most of the games..... Ibrox is a minute or two slow I think....

1455: "The guy who writes the live update thinks that the 'Locos' part of Inverurie name is to do with madmen in Spanish. Nothing at all to do with the locomotive works that used to be there," says fozz725 on My Sport .

Rrrrrriiiiight....

It was the explanation I was after - which you've kindly provided.

But 'locos' does mean madmen in 'Spanish'. Had no idea about the locomotive works.

You see, you LEARN stuff on Live text - Scottish Premier League.

1450:Accies boss Billy Reid says losing Dickie Offiong is a big big blow after he scored three goals in his last three starts.

But Billy says he's going for it! He's putting out a 3-4-3 formation. I like the cut of his jib.

But BBC Scotland's Billy Dodds says: "I can see it turning into a 5-4-1 to be honest."

Cynic.

1447: Stevie in Cumbernauld asks by text on 80295: "I have taken Hearts on my coupon. If all my other results are correct can I sue Motherwell for my loss?"

Our resident tipster Martin Conaghan assures me the pools panel made up of a range of footballing experts decide the likely outcome of the match.

What do think?

My Sport

1440: Inverurie Locos v Vale of Leithen in the Scottish Cup has just been called off...

Now, 'locos' means 'madmen' in Spanish - so what's that name all about?

My Sport

1435:Rangers assistant Ally McCoist explains why Kirk is on the bench - Sasa Papac is fit and goes back in to the team. He also says Rangers have missed Steve Davis and Kenny Miller in recent weeks. They're back today.

And on Beasley? Just a toss-up between him and Chris Burke apparently.

But the question is... Why is AC/DC's heavy rock song 'Highway to Hell' on the PA system at Ibrox?

My Sport

1433: Incidentally, Killie chairman Michael Johnston has blamed a "prolonged period of frost in Kilmarnock, contrary to earlier long range weather forecasts," for his match being called off.

1428: "£10 on Hamilton win" says Mr-Souta on My Sport

Nice try to get back to today's action Mr-Souta... but are you sure? With no Dickie Offiong in the team?

1422: "We sound like an old married couple," says Richard Gordon, as the argument intensifies.

Spencie thinks the football authorities should put a rule in place to decide by a specific time.

1420: The SPL call-offs is causing a bit of a stir.

Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson has pointed out to BBC Scotland's Jim Spence that some clubs have been denied entry to the league for not having adequate undersoil heating facilities.

Spencie and Radio Scotland colleague Scott Davie are getting a little heated about the timing of the pitch inspection in Inverness.

Spencie thinks it's too late at midday for fans coming from Dundee.

"The fans deserve better!" says Spencie.

1412: No Kirk Broadfoot for Rangers today. Steven Whittaker takes his place. And DaMarcus Beasley also comes in to the midfield says Chick Young.

Interesting. What do you think Gers fans? Surprised at a start for Beasley?

Join the debate on My Sport

1410: 'Well bossMark McGhee tells BBC Scotland's Chris McLaughlin that pitch problems at Fir Park are 'doing his head in.'

He adds it's only in the six-yard boxes that the pitch is solid.

Surely goalies are used to the rough and tumble? Having said that - don't think I'd fancy diving on a concrete-like surface.

1408: The SPL are saying they're going to hold a "serious and urgent" inquiry in to the reasons why the matches at Killie and Motherwell have been called off.

All clubs are supposed to have undersoil heating in place to avoid frozen pitches.

SPL inquiry as weather hits games

1402: Early team news from BBC Scotland's Chick Young at Ibrox is that Accies top striker Richard Offiong is OUT as he's attending the birth of his first child.

Congratulations Dickie! Bad luck Billy Reid!

Only 11 league and cup matches from a card of 22 go ahead today.

1359: I know this is supposed to be an SPL-only zone - but there's only one match has survived the weather in the Scottish First Division - that's in Perth where St Johnstone host Queen of the South.

Was it really THAT cold?

1355: Welcome to what should have been another busy day in the Scottish Premier League.

Jack Frost's been busy overnight, though, with the result that matches at Kilmarnock and Motherwell have been commandeered by Dancing on Ice.

I hope all you travelling fans have been checking BBC Sport Scotland for the postponement news, and haven't set out long away journeys for nothing.

So here's what we're left with...

After dropping to last place last week, St Mirren go to the Falkirk Stadium in desperate need of points.

The pitch at Inverness has passed an inspection with Dundee United the visitors.

And with Hearts' match off, the Arabs could move up to third with a win.

Last, but by no means least, Rangers host Hamilton, who'll have a tough job at Ibrox trying to put daylight between themselves and the Buddies at the bottom.

As ever, you can listen to BBC Radio Scotland's coverage of all the games online, and the old-fashioned way on the radio.

So put the Christmas shopping off for another day, stay with us, and send in your comments via: My Sport and text on 80295.
