Djeidi Gassama drives into the Falkirk box and goes to ground very easily.

Referee Steven McLean wave away the Rangers appeals, and rightly so. VAR agree.

Cammy Devlin and Finley Barbrook fly into a 50-50 in midfield. No quarter given there.

Falkirk want a penalty for handball after CJ Fodrey's shot hits Olwethu Makhanya's hand from close range.

Nothing doing.

Motherwell lead at Fir Park against 10-man Dundee United

The home side started full of energy looking to assert themselves, while United had a penalty claim for a foul on Mehdi Merghem. Referee Calum Scott then got involved when United man Emmanuel Agyei was shown a red card.

Minutes later, Seb Palmer-Houlden hit Motherwell in front with a fine finish. Jardell Kanga has been an exciting part of things on his first start.

Waves of Motherwell attack since, but Alfred Johansson's side only have one goal to show for it. Lee Sharp in the away dressing room has a big job on his hands at the break.

We've already seen Celtic squander a three-goal lead once this season, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen today.

Celtic have been utterly dominant and have put three lovely goals past the Dons to have them comfortably ahead at the break.

Aberdeen have looked a bit of a threat when they manage to get forward, but it hasn't happened enough to really trouble Celtic.

The scoreline says it all.

St Johnstone have been the better side, having most of the few chances created.

But I think everyone in the ground is hoping for better in the second half.

Not the best first 45, let's not sugar-coat it.

St Johnstone have been the better side, and have troubled Owen Goodman a few times in the opening period.

As well as a couple of tidy stops, Goodman was beaten by Taylor Steven's deflected effort following a corner but the goal was ruled out.

Simo Valakari will be by far the happier manager. I wonder if home boss Steven Pressley might go to his bench earlier than he was planning.

Well, after four minutes, Kilmarnock fans would probably have taken 1-0 at the break.

It didn't take St Mirren long to unlock the home defence and since then, they've hit a post and missed another two good chances.

Neil McCann looks absolutely fuming. To be a fly on the wall in that dressing room at half-time...

Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson takes a look at his watch. He looks eager for a second Motherwell goal before the half-time interval.

Emmanuel Longelo breaks down the left and fires a delivery across the face of goal. It takes a deflection for a corner kick.

It is taken short and Jardell Kanga flashes a shot wide.

United assistant Lee Sharp will be hoping his side can get in at the break with no further damage.

Rangers keep banging on the door for a second, but Djeidi Gassama shoots wildly over the bar after good work from Findlay Curtis down the right.

Kim Min-Su looks so sharp for Rangers.

He chops inside and forces Falkirk keeper Scott Bain into a low save.

Sam Stanton fires one just over for St Johnstone.

It's a poor Tayside derby, but what little football there is on display is coming from the visitors at the moment.

Steven Pressley will have a few words at half-time.

Stanton nearly scores again as his shot is deflected, bringing a good save at his near post from Owen Goodman, who's been by far the busier keeper.

Camilo Duran goes down inside the Dons box and claims for a penalty. The referee says no, Aberdeen charge forward and Cameron Carter-Vickers goes in the book for a tactical foul.

Celtic have a free-kick to defend, and do so, with Kevin Nisbet taking a sore one in the process.

Ismael Kabia skips away from Cathal McCarthy in the Kilmarnock box and goes down as he tries to cross the ball.

Did McCarthy shove him with both hands? There's not a big appeal, but that could have been a penalty. Play on.

Falkirk skipper Brad Spencer runs his hands through his hair after shooting well over the bar.

Half a chance for the home side.

Kilmarnock captain Greg Kiltie is into the book, as he halves Ryan Carr on the halfway line while stretching for a loose pass.

It's not getting much better for Killie, but at least they haven't conceded again.

It is heating up again at Fir Park.

Goalscorer Seb Palmer-Houlden slides in on Panutche Camara, and the Motherwell forward has his name in the referee's notebook, receiving a yellow card.

Oh so close to a first Rangers goal for Kim Min-Su.

A fizzing right-footed shot looks destined for the bottom corner but bounces clear off the post.
