606: DEBATE Your thoughts on the action

To get involved use My Sport or text us your views & comments on 80295. (Not all contributions can be used)

1704: Thanks for your company today. There were some great contributions to 80295 and My Sport. Hope your team got the result you were looking for. Have a great Saturday night.

1702: From JodyMorris4England on My Sport: "St Johnstone are doing well in our 6-pointers, beating Hamilton and Falkirk 2-0 and 3-1 respectively, but it's because we aren't picking up points elsewhere that those sort of games become 6-pointers in the first place."

1700: From Negri25 on My Sport: "Disappointing to lose the clean sheet, but in the end a win will suffice, especially considering the number of disappointing draws the fans have had to endure this year. I'm happy the Boyd scored two and I await and explanation from Smith regarding the central midfield pairing after Whittaker's injury and the reason behind Davis at right-back."

1658: Don't forget you can see all the highlights of today's matches on the BBC Sport website tomorrow at 1800 GMT.

1657: Well, that was some game at New Douglas Park. Wait till you see the pictures of Billy Reid celebrating when Hamilton went 2-1 ahead. Hilarious!

1646:As the final whistle approaches, Giles Coke sprints down the right-hand side and flights in a cross for Lucas Jutkiewicz to slot in a crucial late equaliser.

1635: Goal - Aberdeen 1-1 St Johnstone

1632: From shetland_james on My Sport: Damián Casalinuovo is showing real promise for us, I'm excited! If he stays for a while, he'll bang the goals in, if he leaves, we'll get a good price for him! The future's bright, the future's Tangerine.

1629: "l worry about St Mirren at the moment. They're trying to get a goal back, but Rangers still look sharp going forward." BBC Scotland's Sandy Clark at Ibrox

1627: Kevin Kyle spurns another fantastic chance for Kilmarnock, sending a shot wide from near the penalty spot with just Nicky Weaver to beat.

1624: Motherwell try to hit back at Hamilton through Jim O'Brien but his free-kick is deflected out for a corner.

1621: "Kenny Deuchar's made a difference since he came on. He's given St Johnstone a target up front." BBC Radio Scotland pundit Jim Leighton

1618:Kris Boyd is on the end of a pass across the six-yard box from Nacho Novo after DaMarcus Beasley had played in the Spaniard.

1617: Goal - Rangers 2-0 St Mirren

1615: A lightening break from Dundee United sees Damian Casalinuovo convert from a slick pass from Jennison Myrie-Williams.

1615: Goal - Kilmarnock 0-2 Dundee United

1612: Craig Bryson shows a few nice touches to set up James Fowler but the Killie man fires his shot over the top.

1611: Aberdeen's Jerel Ifil's effort is touched wide of the St Johnstone goal by Graeme Smith.

1610: John Robertson has been describing how the referee at Dingwall in the Ross County v Inverness CT match went into the net to pick up a bottle of ketchup. Top marks to Chick Young who remarked: "The police will charge someone for "assaultin' sauce". Geddit?

1608: John Fleck and Kris Boyd get in one another's way as they chase a through ball, allowing Paul Gallacher to run from his line and clear.

1606: Immediately after the restart, Hamilton's Antoine-Curier's claims for a penalty are waved away and, moments later, Cerny pulls off a fantastic double save at the other end.

1605: DaMarcus Beasley is on for Steven Whittaker for Rangers. Looks like Steven Davis is going to play at full-back.

1603: The matches are beginning again around the country. Stephen Craigan has been subbed by Motherwell manager Jim Gannon at New Douglas Park.

1602: There's a large banner at Ibrox, all the more accurate perhaps after today's game, that says: "Boyd must stay, Boyd must play, Home and away."

1559: "This is the best Aberdeen performance of the season so far; they will be wondering how they are not further ahead." BBC Radio Scotland summariser Jim Leighton is impressed by his old team at Pittodrie

1558: Ah, that's better. A cup of tea loosens up the typing fingers no end. Prepare for an avalanche of entertaining info...

1550: Hamilton 0-0 Motherwell

1549: Aberdeen 1-0 St Johnstone

1549: Half-time: Rangers 1-0 St Mirren

1546: Half-time: Kilmarnock 0-1 Dundee United

1545: Kilmarnock striker Kevin Kyle and Garry Hay are denied by Nicky Weaver at Rugby Park.

1544: "The last 15 minutes or so St Mirren have played really well. They're right in this game after losing the early goal." BBC Scotland's Sandy Clark at Ibrox

1542: The home fans are very unhappy at New Douglas Park, but it was a certain penalty. Billy Reid is going to burst!

1540: Tomas Cerny makes an easy save from Well youngster Ross Forbes. That's a surprise - you'd have fancied Forbes to bury it but his shot was weak and at waist height.

1539: A penalty for Motherwell at New Douglas Park as Jim O'Brien is brought down by Richard Hastings.

1536: A cynical view of the world from Robert in East Kilbride who sent a text to 80295. He says: "Are Chick and Jim Traynor trying to do a Jordan and Peter Andre? I think they actually only pretend to dislike each other to boost Open All Mics ratings."

1534: "We have a game on our hands now and Rangers have made a contribution in their visitors favour, as some of the passing has been wayward." BBC Scotland's Rob MacLean at Ibrox

1533: With Beuzelin's departure, Hamilton manager Billy Reid is going crackers at New Douglas Park at the officials, infuriated at what he saw as a soft red card.

1531: Kilmarnock's Gavin Skelton blasts a good chance over the crossbar from Garry Hay's excellent delivery.

1532: Guillaume Beuzelin gets his second yellow card in two minutes and is sent packing at New Douglas Park.

1530: Chick Young and Jim Traynor are having a fall-out over the behaviour of some of Rangers' fans in Bucharest. Have a listen to Open all Mics.

1528: Peter Pawlett carries the ball 50 yards and shoots towards goal but Graeme Smith is equal to the eventual shot.

1527: A tremendous chance for the Buddies as Garry Brady takes a nice pass from Andy Dorman and clips a shot off Alan McGregor's left-hand post.

1525: "It's been a good game, I've enjoyed it. Rangers have made a good start but St Mirren are working well to get back into it." BBC Scotland's Sandy Clark at Ibrox

1524: Guillaume Beuzelin sclaffs a shot wide after latching on to a James Wesolowski pass on the edge of the penalty area.

1522: Jennison Myrie-Williams is chopped down by Garry Hay and Damian Casalinuovo converts a scuffed penalty.

1522: Goal - Kilmarnock 0-1 Dundee United

1521: Penalty for Dundee United at Rugby Park.

1518: "Rangers have dominated after taking the lead inside the first 20 seconds." Radio Scotland commentator Rob MacLean

1517: "That goal should have been allowed. Sutton put in a fair challenge. It's a man's game." BBC Scotland commentator John Barnes at New Douglas Park

1516: Killie continue to look bright in the opening stages and Mehdi Taouil volleys wide.

1516: The Dons catch St Johnstone with a sweeping move finished off by Sone Aluko with a composed finish.

1515: Goal - Aberdeen 1-0 St Johnstone

1514: John Sutton latches on to a cross in the six-yard area and fires the ball into the back of the Hamilton net, but the referee decides he fouled keeper Tomas Cerny and the goal is chopped off.

1511: Kilmarnock launch a promising attack and Kevin Kyle is claiming for a penalty as he is barged over by Mihael Kovacevic.

1511: St Johnstone have been dealt an early injury blow at Pittodrie with Graham Gartland withdrawn with a shoulder injury and Steven Anderson coming on as his replacement.

1509: "A good early spell from Hamilton, holding on to the ball and spreading it about well. I think they'll want to get Mensing inside to pick up any loose balls into the box." BBC Scotland pundit Steve Cowan at New Douglas Park

1507: That's Kris Boyd's sixth goal of the season. A shot by John Fleck was parried by Paul Gallacher out to Nacho Novo, who prodded the ball on to his team-mate and Boyd smacked it home.

1506: A remarkable quote by Csaba Laszlo at Tynecastle. "If I give an answer about buying a striker in January, I won't be the coach here tomorrow," he said. That's quite a statement!

1505: Goal - Rangers 1-0 St Mirren

1503: Aberdeen winger Sone Aluko hits a shot into the side-netting as the Dons put St Johnstone under some early pressure.

1502: The minute's silence is under way at Ibrox, while the game has kicked off at New Douglas Park.

1500: A bad start to the afternoon for my colleague Liam McLeod at Rugby Park. Chick Young is not watching his beloved St Mirren, but is busy spilling coffee on Liam's trousers.

1459: Motherwell: Fraser, Craigan, Reynolds, Saunders, Humphrey, Hateley, Coke, Forbes, O'Brien, Jutkiewicz, Sutton. Subs: Kosiorowski, Jennings, Lasley, Murphy, Archdeacon, Page, McHugh.

1458: And the last of our SPL games. Hamilton: Cerny, McClenahan, Canning, McLaughlin, Hastings, Wesolowski, McArthur, Mensing, Beuzelin, Marco Paixao, Antoine-Curier. Subs: Murdoch, Evans, Mills, Flavio Paixao, Kissock, Elebert, Kirkpatrick.

1457: Dundee Utd: Weaver, Kovacevic, Dixon, Kenneth, Webster, Buaben, Gomis, Myrie-Williams, Conway, Casalinuovo, Goodwillie. Subs: Banks, Dillon, Dods, Cadamarteri, Swanson, David Robertson, Shala.

1456: Here's the Kilmarnock team: Mark Brown, Hamill, Hay, Wright, O'Leary, Bryson, Skelton, Fowler, Taouil, Fernandez, Kyle. Subs: Bell, Pascali, Owens, Sammon, Flannigan, Liam Kelly, Liam Kelly, Burchill.

1454: St Johnstone, looking for their third win on the trot, shuffle their pack with Jonatan Johansson and Chris Millar preferred to strikers Kenny Deuchar and Filipe Morais, who both drop to the bench. Trinidad and Tobago international Collin Samuel shrugged off a knee injury to start for the Perth outfit, who know they could leapfrog the Dons if they leave Pittodrie with all three points.

1453: Aberdeen are forced to make changes to their starting line-up for the St Johnstone game with Maurice Ross and Chris Maguire both absent following their red cards against Hibernian last weekend. Attacking midfielders Sone Aluko and Michael Paton come in for the suspended duo, while the injured Fraser Fyvie is replaced by Peter Pawlett.

1452:St Johnstone: Smith, MacKay, Grainger, Morris, Rutkiewicz, Gartland, Millar, Davidson, Craig, Samuel, Johansson. Subs: Main, Anderson, Hardie, Morais, Deuchar, Durnan, Reynolds.

1451: The Aberdeen team to face St Johnstone is as follows: Langfield, Mulgrew, Foster, McDonald, Considine, Kerr, Ifil, Pawlett, Miller, Paton, Aluko. Subs: Bain, Mackie, Young, Wright, Duff, Grassi, Crawford.

1450:St Mirren: Gallacher, Ross, Potter, Innes, Barron, Dorman, Murray, Brady, Thomson, McGinn, Mehmet. Subs: Howard, Higdon, O'Donnell, McLennan, Devlin, Ramsey.

1449:Rangers: McGregor, Whittaker, Weir, Wilson, Papac, Naismith, Davis, McCulloch, Fleck, Boyd, Novo. Subs: Alexander, Rothen, Miller, Beasley, Stirling, Hutton, Ness.

1447: Saints heads into the match without Lee Mair, who is suspended following his red card last week, but boosted by the return of Steven Thomson from illness.

1446: Rangers youngster Danny Wilson made his Ibrox debut against St Mirren after impressing in his maiden outing in the Champions League. The 17-year-old retains his place in the heart of defence following a starring role against Unirea Urziceni in midweek, while Kris Boyd, Nacho Novo and John Fleck were drafted into the starting line-up.

1442: Manager Jim Jefferies has brought in defender Garry Hay and striker David Fernandez, with Conor Sammon dropping to the bench and Danny Invincibile left out altogether. Tannadice boss Craig Levein has drafted in Andy Webster for Darren Dods, who starts on the bench.

1438: Mark Brown returns in goal for Kilmarnock's clash with Dundee United at Rugby Park. The on-loan keeper was barred from playing against his employers in last week's 3-0 defeat by Celtic but replaces Cameron Bell for the visit of the Taysiders.

1427: Hope you can stick with us for the rest of the afternoon.

Don't forget to enter your scores in The Predictor before 1500 GMT.

1424: Hibs will be disappointed they didn't perform to the best of their ability when the chance to put pressure on the Old Firm at the top of the league presented itself, but Hearts were the stronger side today.

1423: Full-time: Hearts 0-0 Hibernian

1422: "For me, it looked like Stack pulled out of that tackle. I don't think it was a penalty." BBC Scotland pundit Craig Paterson

1421: Last-minute drama as Graham Stack clashes with Andy Driver as the Hearts winger follows up on a Gary Glen shot.

1419: "For me, Hogg has been fantastic. He's been head and shoulders above everyone else on the park. Simply outstanding class." BBC Scotland pundit Allan Preston at Tynecastle

1418: "The way the game has gone, there's been plenty of half-chances - but credit to the defenders, chances in this match have been hard to come by." BBC Scotland pundit Craig Paterson avoids offending anyone this time

1417: Just two minutes left in the Edinburgh derby. This has to go down as a good point for Hibs...if it stays like this.

1416: My favourite bit of commentary from today. BBC Radio Scotland commentator Craig Paterson remarked: "John Hughes is nothing if not offensive." Well, I guess we know what he meant.

1414: Our reporter at Ibrox has contacted us with three changes in the Rangers starting line-up to take on St Mirren at Ibrox. Kyle Lafferty, Kenny Miller and Kevin Thomson drop out and Kris Boyd, John Fleck and Nacho Novo all earn starts.

1412: Ian Murray is yellow-carded for clattering Jamie Mole. Big Yogi Hughes is not a happy chappy in the technical area.

1410: "Nade's a great big physical player, but now Hibs have a different problem - Mole is a very sharp player, so it'll be interesting to see what happens." BBC Scotland pundit Craig Paterson at Tynecastle

1408: From bringthemonjpn on My Sport: Glen comes on (for Christian Nade)... Nothing against the player but are Hearts trying to win the game?

1406: Back to Tynecastle, the atmosphere has cranked up a few notches as both teams push for the win. Looks like Jamie Mole is coming on for the Jam Tarts.

1405: Motherwell make three changes. Goalkeeper John Ruddy and full-back Yassin Moutaouakil miss out due to groin injuries and Shaun Hutchinson has a hamstring problem. Michael Fraser starts in goal and Chris Humphrey and captain Stephen Craigan also start.

1404: Team news from the Lanarkshire derby for your consideration. Hamilton make one change with Guillaume Beuzelin starting in place of David Elebert, who is dropped to the bench.

1401: At the other end, Stewart has a shot at goal... OK, it's more like a sclaff, that goes out for a throw-in.

1400: Hibs have a claim for a penalty as a shot from the edge of the box strikes Michael Stewart's elbow.

1358: Derek Riordan shoots as soon as he picks up the ball just inside the box but Janos Balogh saves.

1356: Gary Glen comes on for Arvydas Novikovas as Hearts try to freshen things up front.

1353: What a run and shot by David Wotherspoon! Has Cafu taken to the pitch?! He raced from the halfway line, piercing the Hearts defence and rifled a shot that Colin Nish deflected with his head. Janos Balogh got one hand to it and palmed it on to the post.

1352: "I don't know what Novikovas was thinking with that free-kick. He sauntered up to it. You need to hit the ball - get a bit of pace on it." BBC Scotland pundit Allan Preston at Tynecastle

1349: Hibs need to find some inspiration from somewhere. They have been under the cosh for most of the second half.

1348: Why is Chick not at Tynecastle? Because he's at the so-called "Chick Young derby" - Rangers v St Mirren.

1345:

Hibs make the first change of the game, with Derek Riordan recovering from his dog-inflicted injury to come on to replace Abdessalam Benjelloun.

1341: An anonymous text to 80295 asks, "Why is Chick not at this derby what has he done wrong? Has he been a bad boy?"

1338: Scotland manager George Burley, a former manager at Tynecastle, is in the main stand. Think he's watching Andy Driver?

1336: A second chance for Hearts in the second half as Arvydas Novikovas tries an overhead kick but a deflection takes the sting out of it.

1335: Christian Nade plays in Andy Driver who careers through the Hibs defence but is forced on to his weaker right foot. He cuts back on to his left at the edge of the box but his shot lacks venom.

1333: We're under way again at Tynecastle.

1332: Neither manager has made any changes at half-time, though Riordan has been out warming up.

1326: A summary of the game is offered by Graeme who texted 80295. "Sounds like it's the usual SPL derby stuff: blood and snotters but devoid of any flair or quality."

1322: Woops. Thanks to irishdug for pointing out my error. Of course, it wasn't Nade winning a free-kick for Hibs. It was, in fact, Colin Nish. Maybe I got my big immobile strikers mixed up.

1318: Half-time in the capital derby and it's 0-0. Hibs will be relieved to get into the changing room...until big Yogi storms in.

1317: One minute of injury time at Tynie. The first half has flown in. (I hope you agree!)

1316: From a powder puff to a great big huff, Rankin races back into his own half and concedes a petulant foul in front of goal. Christian Nade hits his free-kick off the Hibs wall. Danger over.

1315: Er, not so much a squiggler - that was more like a tiddler, as Black powder puffs the ball into the arms of Janos Balogh.

1314: John Rankin lines up a trademark "squiggler", Nish having won the free-kick 35 yards out.

1313: Slack play by Liam Miller 30 yards out surrenders possession and Hearts win their sixth corner of the game. Hibs haven't had any so far.

1311: Hibs' best move of the game so far sees Anthony Stokes flick on for Colin Nish, but the big striker's volley lacks power.

1309: Anthony Stokes causes panic in the Hearts defence as he runs at them directly, the ball eventually falling to David Wotherspoon whose shot is blocked.

1308: Tidy play in the Hibs box by Ian Black as he controls the ball under pressure. As a Hearts fan, wouldn't he just love to score against his old rivals?

1306: From billyguern on My Sport: "Apparently his dog stood/jumped/fell/whatever on his foot, and it's a wee bit sore. According to Hibs web page."

1305: And here was me thinking Riordan's pup had chewed his foot or something...

1303: Derek Riordan cannot have been too badly injured in the incident with his dog - he is out warming up.

1302: John Hughes is raging in the technical area as Hearts continue to dominate. /CPS:EVENT>

1300: And Nade follows that by winning a corner, putting Ian Murray under pressure. Hibs clear the corner but struggle to retain possession.

1258: Ian Black blasts a right-foot shot from the edge of the box, which is deflected an inch or so over the bar. Big Christian Nade heads over from the corner.

1256: Anthony Stokes goes into Steve Conroy's book for steaming into the back of Hearts' Michael Stewart. A daft challenge, if ever I have seen one.

1254: Hibs boss John Hughes, a veteran of these Edinburgh derbies, has been saying in post-match interviews in recent weeks that the fans could enjoy their pint on a Saturday night after watching their team win. If Hibs win here, I don't think the fans will need any encouragement!

1253: Typically robust play from big Nishy there as he tussles with Jose Goncalves. The ball rolls out for a Hearts goal kick.

1252: "We were saying we need a big performance from Michael Stewart, and we almost got it there." BBC Scotland pundit Allan Preston on Michael Stewart's effort at Tynecastle

1250: Touch of class there from Hearts captain Michael Stewart as he works a one-two with Novikovas and gets a shot in from the edge of the box. That's got the Hearts fans going.

1247: "It's a classic case of Hibs having better players, but Hearts are dominating and they're dealing with everything Hibs are throwing at them fine." BBC Scotland pundit Craig Paterson at Tynecastle

1246: Just five goals in the last five Edinburgh derbies at Tynecastle, according to BBC Scotland commentator Paul Mitchell.

1244: Arvydas Novikovas tries his luck from distance but it's an easy save for Graham Stack

1243: "It's been all Hearts in the early stages, but Hibs are defending well." BBC Scotland pundit Allan Pretson at Tynecastle

1242: Good knock-down from big Colin Nish in the Hearts box but his team-mates aren't far enough up the pitch to support.

1239: From Macker100 on My Sport: Riordan and Bamba are a big miss for us today, but we should still be strong enough for us to beat the Jambos today.

1237: "Hearts have a great height advantage today and they need to capitalise on it as much as they can." BBC Scotland pundit Allan Preston at Tynecastle

1236: A positive start by the home side, Hibs have hardly had a touch.

1234: "Hearts are keen to get the ball into the box every chance they can get." BBC Scotland pundit Craig Paterson

1233: The first bit of action sees Nade get on the end of a long throw by Jose Goncalves on the left but the ball is deflected just wide of Graham Stack's right-hand post.

1231: I'm very surprised that Mr Preston's gone for Nade as first scorer, though he did look a lot sharper than his usual self at Celtic Park in the Co-operative Insurance Cup.

1230: The teams and fans are observing the minute's silence ahead of Remembrance Sunday.

1229: The teams are just about to come out at Tynecastle. The Hearts fans are swirling their scarves above their heads - brilliant scenes down Gorgie way.

1228: BBC Scotland football pundit Allan Preston has gone for Christian Nade to be first scorer in the Predictor, with a 1-1 scoreline. Have you entered your scores at www.bbc.co.uk/predictor?

1225: This will be a first derby for John Hughes as a manager. As a no-nonsense centre-half, he featured in seven as a player for Hibs. He marked his first taste of the action with a red card in a 0-0 draw at Easter Road.

1224: Hearts finished 12 points ahead of Hibs last season but the green half of the city shaded the derby encounters, winning two and drawing two in the league, while the Jambos came up trumps when they met in the Scottish Cup.

1220: Wouldn't you like to be there in Auld Reekie, a major centre of the Enlightenment, city of arts festivals, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott, Alexander Graham Bell, Trainspotting, Rebus, JK Rowling, Sir Sean Connery, salt n' sauce and punk heroes The Exploited?

1216: One wonders, was it a boxer?

1214: Here's a belter for you: Riordan has been placed on the bench because of "an incident with his dog", according to the news wires. The mind boggles.

1212: Looking at the line-up for Hibs, that means Lewis Stevenson, John Rankin and Colin Nish have come in for Derek Riordan, Sol Bamba and Merouane Zemmama.

1210: Arvydas Novikovas is in for Suso Santana and Jason Thomson is replacing Craig Thomson at right-back for the Jambos.

1208: And here is the line-up for the home side: Balogh, Jason Thomson, Bouzid, Goncalves, Wallace, Driver, Michael Stewart, Palazuelos, Black, Novikovas, Nade. Subs: Kello, Kucharski, Obua, Mole, Glen, Mulrooney, Craig Thomson.

1207: Hibernian: Stack, Wotherspoon, Hogg, Murray, Stevenson, Miller, McBride, Rankin, Benjelloun, Nish, Stokes. Subs: Ma-Kalambay, Cregg, Riordan, Thicot, Hanlon, Galbraith, Byrne.

1205: And get this - Merouane Zemmama and Sol Bamba are out injured, but it still looks like a strong Hibs team John Hughes is sending out.

1203: Bad news surely for fans of the Hibees - Derek Riordan is on the bench!

1200: Welcome to another busy Saturday in the Scottish Premier League. First up, it's Hearts v Hibs in the Edinburgh derby.
