Killie two up on Livi, putting them top of the league. They're going to be difficult to catch now. 

As an aside, @Panda, what's the deal with the BBC website not managing to get players' first names in the lineups? Is it just what's provided to them by a third party? Can you nae add them manually to the database?

Everything is provided by Opta. The line-ups, formations, stats, league tables, everything bar the actual match report and live text.

If we are asking BBC questions why do they insist on putting Champs league/ europa league games second in the Scottish football fixtures list when no scottish teams are playing.

Is this some UEFA bullshit along the same lines as banning domestic league games kicking off at the same time as champions league matches even in the scottish 3rd division?

Or is there a massive clamour in Scotland to see how Cliftonville and Athlone town are getting on?

Martin's post match interview makes me think that many more like that and the dressing room will be lost and he will be away back south before Halloween

Any idea why the BBC comment at the final whistle was "Points dropped on day one", rather than "Points saved on day one"?  Unless they were talking about Motherwell

I never thought of that...thanks for your insight.. Just thought that Panda's inside knowledge would have been beneficial, guess the poor guy is afraid of an NDA!

Aye, I spotted that today, it's bloody frustrating. I would generally prefer to give the BBC my business (and do), but the website is a little bit shite at times. Only Scottish results on the Scottish page seems reasonable to ask for.
