We've got a busy Sunday coming up. All at three o'clock. Join us again as we keep across all the action. FT: Dundee United 1-1 Livingston Livingston manager David Martindale: "First half, we were very, very good. Second half, Dundee United they kind of pinned us in a wee bit. "We could've done a wee bit better on the counter. Overall, a point was probably fair for both teams. "We got a lot right in the first half. The weather probably made it difficult for Dundee United. The home team changing their shape is testament to us. " FT: Dundee United 1-1 Dundee United Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Sportsound: "The second 45, obviously was a lot better in terms of our all-round play, possession, getting into dangerous areas. Little bit guilty of wasting some good opportunities in terms of final ball when we get into those good areas. "The second half was a lot more what we were after from the start of the game. We started a little bit slow. It's another horrendous goal against. A really poor mistake, we just don't deal with the situation and find ourselves trailing and having to chase the game again. We were turning over possession far too cheaply. "We had 19 or 20 attempts on goal and just couldn't find the winner, unfortunately, when were on top. It's probably a better point for Livingston than for ourselves. It's another point on the board, but a major disappointment. " FT: Kilmarnock 2-0 St Mirren Kilmarnock boss Stuart Kettlewell also spoke about David Watson, scorer of the first goal. He told BBC Scotland: "He's a breath of fresh air to work with, he's quality. We talk about non-negotiables which is good body language, energy, application, desire to play the game - he's got that in spade loads. "I love watching him, working with him every single day. "He gives you a spike to your team, he drives people on with him, which is a terrific trait to have at such a young age. " FT: Kilmarnock 2-0 St Mirren Killie up to third. How many would have predicted that before the season got started? Fans seemed a bit underwhelmed by the appointment of Stuart Kettlewell but he's doing a smashing job. FT: Kilmarnock 2-0 St Mirren Kilmarnock manager Stuart Kettlewell tells BBC Scotland: "We were the better team. It was really difficult for both teams in the early part of the game to try and get a foot on the ball and have some sort of quality. "The first goal is the real catalyst for us to get going. We found a space when St Mirren jumped out, Bruce (Anderson) does really well and we keep seeing David Watson's energy, week after week, to get on the end of it. "The second is especially pleasing. We just managed the game really well, had the better chances in the second half and it could've been more. "If I'm honest, I wasn't expecting to stand here with as routine a victory as it was, because those teams are really close, but credit to the players. " A later Sportscene than usual to accommodate the Edinburgh derby, which will get going soon. You'll be able to watch all of the highlights from 20: 00 on BBC Scotland. FT: Dundee United 1-1 Livingston Scott Pittman has been at Livingston for 10 years now and scored his 54th goal for the club this afternoon. Only two players have netted more for the Lions. David Bingham and Iain Russell. FT: Dundee United 1-1 Livingston Jane Lewis BBC Sport Scotland at Tannadice On balance a draw is probably a fair result, although the home side carved out plenty of chances in the second half. United were poor in the opening 45 minutes though, while Livingston were full of intent. Those roles were reversed after the re-start. Dundee United made a couple of changes and grabbed an early goal which seemed to inspire them. Both managers may be frustrated at not taking full advantage when their teams were on top, instead they have to be content with a share of the spoils. FT: Kilmarnock 2-0 St Mirren Rory Loy Former Falkirk striker on BBC Sportsound Kilmarnock are the very epitome of being good in both boxes at the moment. Back-to-back clean sheets, they soaked up the pressure from St Mirren in the second half. Back-to-back 2-0 wins, Stuart Kettlewell must be delighted. FT: Dundee United 1-1 Livingston Billy Dodds Former Dundee United striker on BBC Radio Scotland Jim Goodwin will be a little frustrated because they're so close to getting that third place but they've dropped points again. Dundee United were okay, but could have been better. Scottish League Two Scottish League One Nothing much changes in the Championship with the top five failing to win. Airdrieonians are four points adrift at the bottom after that victory for Ross County. Scottish Championship It ends all square at Tannadice after an improved second-half performance from Dundee United. Krisztian Keresztes' first goal in Tangerine levelled matters early in the second half and Jim Goodwin's side pressed hard at times for a winner. Livingston, who deservedly led at the break through Scott Pittman, had chances of their own but, in the end, a draw seems fair. Krisztian Keresztes (second from left) scored Dundee United's equaliser Kilmarnock make it two consecutive victories in the Premiership and rise to third place, where St Mirren had been. Goals from David Watson and Marcus Dackers stung the visitors in a game that struggled for quality chances amid blustery conditions. The hosts' win avenges their recent Premier Sports Cup quarter-final defeat on penalties at the same venue. St Mirren haven't won at Rugby Park since 2013 in the top flight and never looked like changing that sorry stat. Captain Conker (beponchoed) enjoys David Watson's goal Dundee United 1-1 Livingston Mahamadou Susoho's cross from the Livingston right clips the crossbar on its way out. Definitely a cross. And definitely a fright for the home fans. Kilmarnock 2-0 St Mirren Julie Fleeting Former Scotland striker on BBC Radio Scotland St Mirren have had plenty of possession but what they've been able to do with it has been disappointing. Kilmarnock could be five up with the number of chances they have had. It looks extremely likely they will get all three points at this stage. Their defence has been outstanding. One of those days for Buddies boss Stephen Robinson. .. Ronan Hale That should wrap up a first league win of the season for the Staggies.
