St Mirren 1-0 Dundee
Declan John with a sweet strike to test Owen Goodman in the Dundee goal, but the stopper makes a big save.
St Mirren have started the second half in similar fashion to how they played the first. They'll be desperate for a second goal to give them more comfort in this one.
Dundee United 2-1 Aberdeen
Aberdeen have started the second half brightly, with Lewis Smith putting in a great cross from the right.
Dundee United fail to deal with it, allowing Kevin Nisbet to take a touch that sets himself up for an overhead kick.
However, his acrobatic effort is well blocked by Kevin Ciubotaru.
Falkirk 2-0 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock's Michael Schjonning-Larsen is hovering at a corner and has a shot from the edge of the box, which is blocked. Aaron Tshibola tries to convert the scraps but Falkirk scramble clear.
Dundee United 2-1 Aberdeen
Change for the Dons at half-time, as Lewis Smith comes on. He replaces Afeez Aremu.
They're out nice and early. In these conditions, that seems like punishment from Stephen Robinson.
We're getting back under way in testing conditions.

Calvin Ramsay's first St Mirren goal has the Buddies in the driving seat.
Could Craig McLeish's side be ending a run of five matches without a win?

The visitors were a goal up through Craig McGuffie.
Kevin Kelsy's goal gives Rangers the lead at half-time.
Derek McInnes will be disappointed they haven't added to their tally given their dominance, with Kim Min-Su and Badredine Bouanani particularly bright.

The rain is absolutely bucketing down, but as United gaffer Jim Goodwin suggested, it's led to a really entertaining game with the ball fizzing along the surface.
Aberdeen have actually edged the play, getting into United's final third on more occasions, but it is United who have been clinical.
And they showed good mettle to respond immediately to Aberdeen's equaliser. A fascinating second half to come.

Falkirk two to the good at the break, with Cathal McCarthy's own goal followed by Jacob Murrell's superb header.
Kilmarnock have had their moments, particularly at corners, but need to do more in possession.

St Mirren 1-0 Dundee
There is now concern for St Mirren as Eseosa Sule is down in need of treatment.
Jake Young appears to be getting ready on the St Mirren bench.
Sule now looks good to continue, though. We're just a minute away from half-time, where he might be looked at further.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
How is this only 1-0?
Cheick Diabate gives the ball away, Kevin Kelsy plays a neat one-two with Ryan Naderi and looks certain to double his tally, but his shot is too close to Toby Steward and the St Johnstone goalkeeper pushes it round the post.

St Mirren 1-0 Dundee
There are now a couple of areas of the Paisley pitch where a lot of surface water is collecting and making the ball movement tricky.
The wing in front of the stand opposite the dugouts has proved tricky for Dundee winger Joe Bevan in recent times, as has the goalmouth area of the visiting goalkeeper Owen Goodman, who's been under pressure with a couple of backpasses.
Rangers 1-0 St Johnstone
Huge chance for a St Johnstone equaliser.
It falls to their leading marksman Josh Fowler, but he shoots into the side netting after running on to a lovely pass from Jamie Gullan.
Has to hit the target at least.
Jacob Murrell
There's no doubt who scored this one.
It's a magnificent header from Jacob Murrell who gets up to meet an excellent delivery from Ryan Strain.
Falkirk have certainly found one in Murrell, who moves on to five goals for the season.
Falkirk 1-0 Kilmarnock
Calum Ferrie is called into action as Ethan Ross beats his man to smack in a shot from the right.
This one is starting to warm up.
Dundee United 2-1 Aberdeen
Both sides have already had eight shots apiece, but then it's just dawned on me that there are only 10 minutes until the break.
Time flies when you're having fun/watching open football.
Falkirk 1-0 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock push for parity and a cross is nodded on to the crossbar by a Falkirk defender.
It runs loose and Killie appeal for penalties after apparent handballs by Liam Henderson and Deniss Melniks, but nothing doing.
At a glance
Ramsay and Sule send St Mirren to victory to halt losing run
Fink responds for Dundee in second half
Hamilton hits cross bar in the final minute for visitors before teams clash at full-time
St Mirren battled Storm Boelo to defeat Dundee and end their run of five consecutive Scottish Premiership defeats with a much-welcomed victory.
Calvin Ramsay's first goal for the Paisley side and a header from Eseosa Sule also ended Dundee's bright run of three games without defeat.
St Mirren settled the better in the difficult weather conditions, with Ismeal Kabia looking threatening every time he picked up the ball.
The opener came when striker Sule had drifted out wide. Ramsay charged through the gap in the centre of Dundee's defence, and he nicked in ahead of Dundee goalkeeper Owen Goodman to squeeze the ball home.
St Mirren had to wait until the second half for comfort, when Killian Phillips breezed out wide to clip in a cross for Sule to head in.
Bradley Fink made it a nervy one for the home side.
The striker's first attempt was saved by St Mirren goalkeeper Jacob Chapman, who could only push the ball back to the Dundee man to finish.
Steven Pressley's side could sense weakness and looked more of a threat going forward in the closing stages and with almost the last kick of the game, Dundee captain Ethan Hamilton rattled the crossbar with a close range strike. St Mirren showed their style and their stability, to claim a vital three points.
Ahead of kick-off, St Mirren manager Craig McLeish stated his side were confident and that it was important to believe in the process, and that's how it looked.
Arsenal loanee Ismeal Kabia was a constant threat in the first half to show that confidence.
And intelligent awareness from Ramsay sparked the celebrations in Paisley with some clever team movement.
While goalkeeper Chapman had the ball at his feet, Dundee pushed up with the away side expecting the ball to go short. Ramsay spotted a huge gap in the Dundee defence and exploited it.
The surprise may have been that it took so long for Saints to grab a second, and some excellent movement again led to Phillips crossing for Sule to add a goal to his assist.
The young forward signed from West Brom has a bit of weight on his shoulders earlier than expected, with injury to Nikolas Agrafiotis.
Two goals and an assist in his last two games shows he looks more than capable of holding that responsibility.
After receiving praise for their performance against Rangers last Saturday, this is a disappointing result for Dundee.
Head coach Steven Pressley stressed the need to get the basics right otherwise they would struggle to get a result, and his players found it difficult to piece things together in the first half.
It took a while for them to get going, with Dundee returning to the dressing room at half-time after 45 minutes where they had two shots and zero on target.
That changed to 15 in the second half, but they only managed four on target.
Yet, despite that slow start from Dundee, there were two moments that could have changed the narrative.
Ashley Hay bulleted a close range header wide, when it looked like he was about to burst the net. Then Ethan Hamilton's strike was just an inch from doing the same in the final minute.
St Mirren manager Craig McLeish tells BBC Scotland: "It is massive for us just to get out of the run that we've been on. Through the full time we've been trying to shut out the news from outside and focus on what we are trying to do. We deserved that today.
"We probably needed a good performance in all aspects of our game. [Dundee] have that shot at the end, and if that goes in then I think I would've been walking home tonight. We created enough to score more, and showed the side of our game that got us success at the start of the season."
Dundee head coach Steven Pressley tells BBC Scotland: "I think over the course of the game there was very little in it. I thought in the first half we controlled a lot of the ball but didn't ask questions of [St Mirren] defensively.
"Second half we were much better in that respect, better decision making on when to play in behind and when to control the game. We're disappointed to come away with nothing, but credit to St Mirren they showed a lot of resilience and character today."
