The pace of Topi Keskinen has undone the Dundee defence twice in the opening 45 minutes.

The speedy winger raced beyond Billy Koumetio on two separate occasions to devastating effect, setting up Kevin Nisbet for the opener before later finding the net himself.

The home team pulled themselves back from the penalty spot, as Simon Murray slotted home from the penalty spot after being brought down by Gavin Molloy.

On the balance of play, it's probably fair that Dundee are right back in this. Aberdeen have been really good but the home side have been extremely competitive and would have been feeling hard done to go in at the interval two behind.

Simon Murray was fouled when clean through and about to pull the trigger. He expertly despatched the resultant penalty. Great stuff here.

It's not getting any better for Hearts, at least not yet.

Ronan Hale's stunning goal against the run of play has the hosts behind and, as things stand, they are looking at a ninth straight defeat in all competitions.

Hearts really need the next goal but County are defending pretty well so far at Tynecastle.

A long VAR check at Fir Park for a possible handball but the goal stands.

A brilliant brace from the best player on the pitch.

Lawrence Shankland is found by Stephen Kingsley's cross at the back post but the Scotland striker nods narrowly wide.

A trip on Simon Murray and Dundee have a lifeline.

Another counter attack by Ross County ends with Ronan Hale's low shot deflecting into the arms of Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon.

Had Hale got a bit more of a hold of that one, or even better played in Jordan White to his right, it could've been curtains for Hearts.

The sun is shining on them, their team is two goals ahead and heading for a three-point lead at the top of the table as things stand. The Aberdeen fans duly burst into song: "Hello, Celtic, we're gonna win the league..."

I've changed the top of that chant, obvs. The watershed is miles away.

Lyall Cameron forces a strong stop from Aberdeen keeper Dimitar Mitov with an arrowed strike from outside the box.

The hosts' heads have not gone down since going two behind, but their backline must improve if they are to have any chance of a comeback here.

The home fans are starting to turn.

There was no sign of Kevin Nisbet in the last Scotland squad. He's clearly been given a new lease of life by Jimmy Thelin since the Swede took the reins at Pittodrie. Lovely first time finish for his goal today.

Steve Clarke names his squad for the games against Croatia and Portugal soon. He's hardly flush for strikers. Nisbet worth a recall?

Kilmarnock are inches away from an equaliser.

The ball is whipped in from the left and the smallest man on the pitch, Danny Armstrong, plants his header just over the bar.

Moments later, another ball is crossed from the left and Armstrong powers another header over.

Richard Taylor gets on the end of a cross and heads the ball back across goal for Mikael Mandron, who is two yards out.

However, Paul McGinn does just enough to put the St Mirren striker off his jump as he fails to connect with the ball.

A really good cross from Adam Forrester requires an equally impressive defensive header from Kacper Lopata and the Ross County man is awarded a free-kick for a push.

Alan Forrest sets up Cammy Devlin for another Hearts shot but it's straight at Ross Laidlaw.

Andy Halliday whips a mean corner to the back post and finds the head of Dan Casey, but his effort clips the outside of the post.

The hosts have been the dominant side since equalising.
