That's enough from me. Just to recap, Aberdeen are now three points behind Celtic following a convincing 3-0 win at Hamilton. The Dons are now unbeaten in their last 12 league matches.
Remember Sportscene is on BBC One Scotland at 22:30 for TV highlights of all the Premiership action.
We'll be back with more live coverage for Celtic's Europa League first leg meeting with Inter Milan on Thursday, so make sure you join us then.

"I'm really pleased with what my players gave me today. It was a strong performance, we counter-attacked well and did the ugly part of the game well. We got the balance right and that's why the win was so convincing.

Hamilton player-boss Martin Canning on BBC Radio Scotland
"It was a difficult day. Aberdeen are good side and it was an uphill task after losing two early goals. The boys responded well and if we get one back it's a different game. The red card in the second half really finished us off."
Post update
Hamilton fans will be asking where the goals are going to come from. Top-scorers Tony Andreu and Mickael Antoine Curier left last month and the team as only managed to find the net once in their last six games.

I've been praising him all afternoon but Andrew Considine deserves one final mention after a wonderful performance. The left-back knocked in the opening goal on six minutes and laid on Aberdeen's third goal. He had a header ruled out for climbing on an opponent and another one well saved.
Post update
What about Hamilton? The Accies remain fifth in the Premiership but player-boss Martin Canning's run without a win stretches to seven games, five of which have been defeats.
The hosts were on the back foot after conceding two early goals and ran out of steam in the second half after Jesus Garcia Tena's red card.

We're into stoppage time at New Douglas Park as Aberdeen win another corner - and another - and another - and another.
GOAL
Hamilton 0-3 Aberdeen (McGinn)
It's that man again! Andrew Considine opens up the home defence with a lovely, weighted pass from out on the left near the halfway line. Niall McGinn races clear through the middle and slams a shot past exposed keeper Michael McGovern.

Linesman David McGeachie is taking a bit of flak from the BBC Sportsound team after missing that obvious goal from Adam Rooney. Surely it's time for Scotland's top flight to have TV technology for decisions like that...
HALF-TIME
Hamilton 0-2 Aberdeen
The Dons are in a comfortable position after those early goals from Andrew Considine and Ryan Jack - and the visitors should really be further ahead, with Adam Rooney's shot bouncing well over the line after hitting the crossbar.
That said, Accies have been decent going forward and have caused the Dons a few problems.
Post update
That effort was set up by a great run forward from Jonny Hayes, bursting from his own half to find Niall McGinn with a cross from the right. McGinn rather sclaffed his shot and it fell perfectly for Rooney - who should be on 22 goals for the season - but for the myopic linesman.
GOAL NOT GIVEN
Oh dear, oh dear... The ball is at least a metre over the line as Adam Rooney smashes a shot in off the underside of the crossbar but the officials don't spot it.
You can even see the mark the ball has made on the artificial surface. A major let-off for the Accies.
Post update
Shay Logan has a few choice words for goalkeeper Scott Brown as the defender speeds back to close down a breaking Ali Crawford. The full-back clearly thinks his team-mate should have been off his line dealing with the situation before he did.
Post update
Hamilton have had a couple of decent chances now but they have been struggling in front of goal since Martin Canning took over from Alex Neil. Accies have scored just three times in the six games the defender has been in charge for.
CLOSE!
Ali Crawford plays in a perfectly weighted pass in for Jason Scotland and the Hamilton striker is one-on-one with Scott Brown. The keeper gets something on the shot, which allows defender Mark Reynolds to get back and clear from his own goal-line.
Post update
Aberdeen are very good at what boss Derek McInnes calls "managing the game". They can really stifle teams once they get ahead and then spring swift counter-attacks.
Post update
This has been a good response from the home side as Aberdeen make a series of blocks in their own penalty area. The ball falls invitingly for Stephen Hendrie but the busy full-back drags a strike wide from 18 yards.
Post update
Accies full-back Stephen Hendrie is at is again as he has a pop from distance and his shot takes a nick off a defender on its way over the crossbar.

Hamilton are all over the place from another cross ball as Andrew Considine swings in a good delivery for fellow full-back Shay Logan to meet with a header at the back post and his effort whizzes narrowly wide.
Post update
Right, who had Andrew Considine and Ryan Jack for the opening goals? Those two are not known for their goal-scoring prowess.
GOAL
Hamilton 0-2 Aberdeen (Jack)
Niall McGinn pops up on the left this time and he picks out another good delivery for Ryan Jack to meet at the near post with a first-time shot high into the net.
GOAL
Hamilton 0-1 Aberdeen (Considine)
Niall McGinn scampers down the right to drill in a low cross for Adam Rooney to reach with a stooping header. The ball then skips off the chest of defender Ziggy Gordon forcing Michael McGovern to make a sprawling save but Andrew Considinde is in the right place to knock the ball in from close range.
Post update
Some neat, sharp passing in the Aberdeen penalty area from the home side but Jason Scotland's final ball to Ali Crawford is just too firm.

Aberdeen midfielder Jonny Hayes gathers a throw-in and is given time to turn only to fire a shot well wide of the target from 22 yards.
Post update
Jason Scotland builds up a head of steam with a charge up the middle but the veteran Accies striker is crowded out once he reaches the edge of the penalty area.
KICK-OFF
Aberdeen, in a black change kit, get the game started...
Post update
A win today would move the Dons to within three points of Celtic, who they visit after next weekend's home game against St Mirren, although the leaders will have a game in hand. Celtic have won all eight of their games in 2015 but Ronny Deila's team need to negotiate two legs against Inter Milan in the Europa League before concerning themselves with their nearest challengers.
Post update
So, can Aberdeen really challenge Celtic for the title? Derek McInnes and his players have been steadfastly towing the party line during this excellent run of form, stubbornly refusing to give the media any juicy soundbites. The nearest we've got is midfielder Willo Flood on the back pages today, saying: "Let's have a go. Why not?"
I can't see anyone pinning those words up on a dressing room wall, can you?
Post update
Aberdeen avenged October's 3-0 loss at New Douglas Park with a victory by the same scoreline at Pittodrie in December. They also dumped Accies out of the League Cup, with Adam Rooney on target in both of those games. The Irish striker is on a very impressive 21 goals for the season.
Post update
BBC Sportsound pundit Willie Miller
"Kenny McLean is a wonderful addition for Aberdeen. He's a quality player. He always has his head up looking for that killer pass and he can find the net too."
Post update
Kenny McLean won praise from Derek McInnes for an "elegant" debut against the Staggies and the midfielder's arrival from St Mirren really beefs up Aberdeen's attacking options. It also gives the boss once of those "nice headaches" they talk about regarding selection. The visitors have a strong-looking bench today.
Post update
SNS GroupCopyright: SNS Group
Those Aberdeen fans dreaming of a first league title since 1984-85 will be hoping for a repeat of last weekend's impressive showing when Ross County were demolished 4-0.
Derek McInnes's side are unbeaten in their last 11 Premiership outings. The Dons have won nine of those games and only conceded four league goals since they lost at home to Celtic in early November.
Post update
More from Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes
"The opportunity (to sign Kenny McLean) came quite late in the window and we feel quite pleased with ourselves that we managed to get him.
"We think he's a player that is only going to get better and, when the opportunity came to get him, we were quite surprised and it was too good an opportunity to ignore.
"We moved quickly and I'm grateful to the board for helping us get the deal done because Kenny McLean in an Aberdeen shirt will show how good a player he is.
"He has done it often enough as a St Mirren player. Kenny is not only a good player, and there's a lot to like about him technically and he's a good size, but any time I watched St Mirren, he always took real responsibility."
Post update
The swift Accies return of Jason Scotland was also a bit odd, with the striker exiting in search of more regular first-team football only to pitch up again two weeks later - presumably when the club knew Antoine Curier was for the off.
Nigel Hasselbaink is another forward to have rejoined the Accies but he's been away a bit longer, the little Dutchman having left in 2011. He'll need to wait for his 'second debut', since there has been a delay in receiving international clearance from his former club in Greece - and he's off to the Netherlands anyway to be with his partner, who is expecting a child.
The Accies were top of the Premiership pile when they coasted to a 3-0 win over the Dons back in October. Tony Andreu and Mickael Antoine Curier (2) were on target that day and both have since departed. Those two scored 21 goals between them in the first half of the season before moving on last month.
The release of Antoine Curier was certainly strange, with the 31-year-old Guadeloupe striker now training with English League Two side Burton Albion.
Post update
Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes on BBC Radio Scotland
"We're just trying to improve on last season. We have shown great consistency and the players deserve great credit. We are delighted to be in the mix and for people still to be talking about in February. If people are still talking about it in March, then great. It's just one game at a time for us."
Post update
Norwich manager Alex Neil on BBC Radio Scotland
"It's great to be back and to see everyone. Martin Canning has got to do it his way. I speak to him regularly because he's a good friend. I think his style will work over time."
Neil has done a great job since he moved to Carrow Road from New Douglas Park. The Canaries moved up to sixth in the Championship after yesterday's win over Wolves.
Post update
The home side have not won a match since Martin Canning stepped up to take over from Alex Neil as player-manager, with back-to-back draws following a run of four defeats. A victory today would move them to within a point of fourth-placed Dundee United.
Post update
I can tell you Aberdeen have made one change, with Peter Pawlett taking over from Cammy Smith in midfield. The Accies are a bit tardy with their team-lines on Twitter.
Post update
Good afternoon and welcome to our Scottish Premiership coverage. Aberdeen visit New Douglas Park to take on Hamilton Accies.
The in-form visitors are currently six points behind leaders Celtic and 10 points ahead of their hosts, who occupy fifth place in the table.

The Accies were top of the Premiership pile when they coasted to a 3-0 win over the Dons back in October. Tony Andreu and Mickael Antoine Curier (2) were on target that day and both have since departed. Those two scored 21 goals between them in the first half of the season before moving on last month.
The release of Antoine Curier was certainly strange, with the 31-year-old Guadeloupe striker now training with English League Two side Burton Albion.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes on BBC Radio Scotland
"We're just trying to improve on last season. We have shown great consistency and the players deserve great credit. We are delighted to be in the mix and for people still to be talking about in February. If people are still talking about it in March, then great. It's just one game at a time for us."

Norwich manager Alex Neil on BBC Radio Scotland
"It's great to be back and to see everyone. Martin Canning has got to do it his way. I speak to him regularly because he's a good friend. I think his style will work over time."
Neil has done a great job since he moved to Carrow Road from New Douglas Park. The Canaries moved up to sixth in the Championship after yesterday's win over Wolves.

The home side have not won a match since Martin Canning stepped up to take over from Alex Neil as player-manager, with back-to-back draws following a run of four defeats. A victory today would move them to within a point of fourth-placed Dundee United.

I can tell you Aberdeen have made one change, with Peter Pawlett taking over from Cammy Smith in midfield. The Accies are a bit tardy with their team-lines on Twitter.
