So close to an equaliser out of the blue.

Rangers midfielder Thelo Aasgaard, having scored four goals in midweek for Norway, sends a curling shot from 25 yards towards the far corner. Or is it a miscued cross?

Either way, debutant goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow turns it on to the crossbar and over.

Tete Yengi brushes past two or three very soft Aberdeen tackles, but his tame shot is blocked.

This hasn't been a great watch so far.

That would have been some move from Falkirk. They work it from goalkeeper Scott Bain through the thirds to Dylan Tait.

The midfielder nudges it to Scott Arfield and his low cross is begging to be tucked away.

Ross MacIver slides in but puts it straight at goalkeeper Shamal George.

The offside flag goes up. Arfield was on, but Calvin Miller in the middle might not have been.

Livi keeper Jerome Prior comes off his line when he should stay at home.

Jesper Karlsson reacts quickest, flicks the ball over Prior's head, but the Swede's volley flies into the side-netting.

This game has burst to life.

Mark O'Hara should score from another Declan John cross, but his effort is too easy for Falkirk keeper Scott Bain to deal with.

What a start from Hearts and it would be hard to argue they haven't been the better side. The visiting fans are lapping this up.

In contrast, the home crowd look ready to combust right now. It's getting toxic. The performance has lacked almost any threat whatsoever.

The "reset" Russell Martin sought looks far, far away at this stage.

Rangers are ragged as they try to force their way back into the game.

It is all individual effort and little teamwork and, when they lose possession, Hearts are on the rampage again.

However, Harry Milne is unable to find a team-mate with his cross into the penalty box.

Now Falkirk respond with two good opportunities.

The first is a header from Ross MacIver which is goal-bound, but for a good clearance.

From the resulting corner, it's worked short and Shamal George claws a cross away from goal.

It drops to Lewis Neilson who side-foots over the top. That was the best chance of the game.

Best move of the game from Aberdeen.

Kevin Nisbet slips Alexander Jensen in down the right and his shot is heading for the bottom corner until Jerome Prior gets down to turn it round the post.

Referee gives a goal kick...

Emmanuel Longelo skins his man before standing one up to the back post.

Motherwell team-mate Tawanda Maswanhise wins it, but the ball is claimed by goalkeeper Jon McCracken.

St Mirren have upped the tempo and have created a couple of chances. Declan John swings a good cross in, but Jonah Ayunga is struggling to get there and his header is off target.

A minute later and Killian Phillips lifts a shot from the edge of the box over the bar.

Motherwell continue to probe as Johnny Koutroumbis gets to the byeline and pulls one back for Tawanda Maswanhise, whose goal-bound effort is blocked.

The Fir Park side have had almost 70% possession.

At last Rangers threaten - although they have to rely on a loose pass out of the Hearts defence.

Mikey Moore fires a low ball into the area around the penalty spot, but fellow winger Djeidi Gassama makes a complete hash of his attempt at a first-time shot.

Aberdeen striker Kevin Nisbet spoons a gilt-edged chance over the bar, but his blushes are spared by the offside flag.
