Andy Campbell & Colin Moffat Falkirk v Hearts (20: 00) I'm going to sign off for now and leave you with Sportsound Extra Time. Moff will be back with coverage of tonight's game in Falkirk. FT: Livingston 2-2 Dundee Dundee manager Steven Pressley revealed goalkeeper Jon Mc Cracken said sorry for his part in Livingston's equaliser. "Jon after the game said sorry in the dressing room, " Presssley told BBC Scotland. "But he's made a lot of good saves as well and he's been excellent this season. "He's growing as a goalkeeper and in the growth of a goalkeeper you always have setbacks and it's a minor setback for Jon. " Jon Mc Cracken with Livingston player Lewis Smith FT: Livingston 2-2 Dundee Steven Pressley tells BBC Sportsound: "It was the proverbial game of two halves. We came out of the blocks very aggressively. "We won a lot of second balls and used it well. Our two wide players caused them a lot of problems. We find ourselves 2-0 up and in a good position and playing with a great deal of confidence. "At half-time we spoke about the importance of getting pressure to the ball because of the really difficult conditions. The wind was behind them in the second half and we went 4-4-2 at the start of the second half. We didn't manage to get the pressure we hoped and lost two really disappointing goals. "When you come to a place like this in these conditions, you can't give away goals like we did. When we lost the first goal we were nervous, it's natural because of our league position, and we didn't manage to get to grips with the second half. "Credit to Livingston, they put us under pressure but we have to be better for the goals. " FT: Dundee United 0-0 Motherwell Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou tells BBC Sportsound: "We never really peaked today in our performance. Defensively, solid again. "We didn't really find our speed in the game enough. We didn't have enough moments in the game where we accelerated the game that we wanted. "It got better in the second half. We tried to push up the tempo a little bit but we just lacked the quality in the final third in the decisive moments. There were a few, not enough and not big ones. "It's a clean sheet away and we'll take another point. " FT: Dundee United 0-0 Motherwell Dundee United boss Jim Goodwin tells BBC Sportsound: "It wasn't a particularly great game. I don't suppose the guys in the Sportscene studio will have too many highlights to pull from. "From our own perspective, we had a really disappointing performance last weekend in Paisley. The structure of the team today was excellent, the shape was really good. "It wasn't as if Motherwell had lots of possession. My goalkeeper hasn't had a great deal to do, albeit the Motherwell keeper hasn't either. "We had a couple of half chances and we just didn't get the break of the ball. The pleasing aspect of it is the clean sheet. That's a good foundation to build from. " FT: Livingston 2-2 Dundee Not many Scottish Premiership goals so far today but this one from Dundee's Yan Dhanda in the 2-2 draw with Livingston is probably the pick of them. FT: Raith Rovers 6-0 Ross County Bottom of the league and thrashed 6-0 in Kirkcaldy. .. It's been a bad day for Ross County manager Tony Docherty. Raith Rovers climb a place into sixth in the Scottish Championship after today's resounding 6-0 win over bottom side Ross County. Partick Thistle remain three points adrift of leaders St Johnstone as Arbroath move closer to the top two. There is now a six-point gap from them to Thistle. Here is your latest Scottish Premiership table, which will change again later after Falkirk v Hearts. Motherwell stay third after today's draw at Dundee United and are a point above Rangers, who have two games in hand over Jens Berthel Askou's side. One of those games in hand is at home to Hibernian on Monday evening. Dundee United are eighth but are within four points of Falkirk before the latter's game this evening. Dundee climb a point above Kilmarnock into 10th after drawing with Livingston but Killie play tomorrow, away to Aberdeen. Livingston remain bottom but are within three points of Kilmarnock. For the second time this season, Dundee cede a two-goal lead against Livingston. This time though, the Dark Blues cannot find a late winner. Yan Dhanda and Cameron Congreve had them in control. But Livingston stormed back in the second half and deservedly earned a point thanks to Jeremy Bokila and Tete Yengi. Livi move three points behind Kilmarnock, who play Aberdeen tomorrow. Dundee stay four clear of their opponents. Livingston 2-2 Dundee A ball over the top sets up Emile Acquah to run in behind, and Livi captain Mc Gowan hauls him to the ground. It looked like a certain sending off. Dundee United's winless run stretches to seven, while Motherwell make it seven games unbeaten, in a largely forgettable Scottish Premiership draw at Tannadice. In a run of form that United manager Jim Goodwin called his "toughest period" as Tannadice boss, he would have been pleased with the second-half performance as his side threatened slightly more. The closest either side came was probably from the halfway line, when Craig Sibbald almost caught out Motherwell goalkeeper Calum Ward, but it drifted less than a yard wide. United remain eighth in the table, while Motherwell stay third. Apostolos Stamatelopoulos dragged this shot wide for Motherwell Leagues 1 & 2 Scottish Championship Livingston 2-2 Dundee David Martindale has put on every attacking player he has available. It's a huge final few minutes for Livingston. Tete Yengi (far right) forced Livingston's equaliser Is there to be a winner in the Scottish Premiership this afternoon? Tete Yengi It's been coming! A ball to the back post, Tete Yengi is unmarked and steers a shot on target. Jon Mc Cracken is there to deal with it, but somehow lets it go through his legs. It's a terrible mistake from the Dundee goalkeeper. Dundee United 0-0 Motherwell Ibrahim Said bursts down the right and cuts it back to Callum Slattery, but he's leaning back and skies it over. Dearie me. Raith Rovers 6-0 Ross County Dylan Easton has scored two of Raith Rovers' six goals today, this his second. Jack Hamilton Raith Rovers hit Ross County for six and this time Jack Hamilton scores. Jeremy Bokila started the Livingston fight back At a glance Dundee race into two-goal lead with strikes from Yan Dhanda and Cameron Congreave with wicked wind in their favour Livingston enjoy the benefits of the horrific conditions in the second half to fight back with finishes from Jeremy Bokila and Tete Yengi Home captain Mc Gowan sent off in virtual last-act of the game with Dundee's Acquah bearing down on goal Bottom-side Livingston roared back from two goals down to save a precious Scottish Premiership point against struggling Dundee in a momentum-swinging match. With the swirling wind and battering rain against them in the first half, home goalkeeper Jerome Prior parried Ethan Hamilton's shot to his left-hand-side, but Dundee's Yan Dhanda was on hand to volley in a superb strike for his first league goal of the season. Heads were left shaking, and they were in the hands of the home support five minutes later when wingers Tony Yogane and Cameron Congreave linked up, with the latter neatly cushioning in a second, which sent some fans for the exit before 20 minutes of play. They perhaps should have stuck around for the second half though, as Livi were much improved with the elements working in their favour. The powerful Jeremy Bokila shrugged off Dundee defender Billy Koumetio to crash in a well-deserved goal for the galvanised hosts. Experienced forward Stevie May forced a save from distance, while Daniel Finlayson flicked a header wide with life breathed back into the basement side with an equaliser brewing. With five minutes of regulation time remaining, substitute Tete Yengi steered a fairly harmless effort on target but visiting goalkeeper Jon Mc Cracken made a mess of dealing with it and watched the ball run between his legs to spark scenes of relief among the home ranks. If there was to be a winner, it looked certain to be for Livi, but Dundee's Emile Acquah was through on goal as set to shoot, but home captain Ryan Mc Gowan hauled him down to deny him the chance of a last-gasp winner and took the red card instead. The draw still leaves Livingston four points adrift of Dundee, who hop up to 10th, but within three points of Kilmarnock who visit Aberdeen on Sunday. If ever a game encapsulated the cliche a game of two-halves, this was it. In treacherous conditions, Dundee could not have looked more comfortable at half-time. They barely allowed Livingston to leave their half and they looked destined to stretch seven points clear of their hosts who were booed off at the break. But, as well as their turn in fortunes with the forecast, Livi showed such spirit to spark the second half into a contest. They battered down the Dundee defence at a devastating rate and would have been wildly unfortunate to not at least pick up a point on such an important afternoon. Martindale stressed pre-match it was a game his side "needed to win" and while they haven't done that, this will feel like a positive step. Having now played the same number of games as languishing Killie, they are just three points off Stuart Kettlewell's side who will be well within their sights. The magnitude of this game has perhaps been lost a little in the awful elements, but if there is to be a happier camp it ought to be Livingston who displayed the fight which will be rehired - once again - if they are to preserve their Premiership status. Livingston travel to the SMISA Stadium next Saturday, 20 December (15: 00 GMT) to take on Premier Sports Cup finalists St Mirren. Dundee are on the road at the same time as they face in-form Motherwell at Fir Park.
