Hearts have had multiple opportunities to increase their lead over Kilmarnock but whilst there remains just one goal between the teams the visitors will still feel they are very much in the game.

Fraser Murray has the better of young Adam Forrester down the Killie left-hand side and this looks like their most likely way forward.

St Mirren deservedly lead at the interval after some impressive attacking football.

Toyosi Olusanya's opener was followed by Mikael Mandron's first-time finish with both coming from Slobodan Rubezic failing to deal with the Buddies' physicality.

The defender then asked to be subbed off and vanished up the tunnel.

Aberdeen have had a few half-chances but there has been very, very little to shout about for the Pittdorie faithful this afternoon. A big second-half performance is needed from Jimmy Thelin's side.

Jorge Grant catches Corrie Ndaba on the knee as the left-back flicks the ball around him, and now the Hearts midfielder is into the book.

It's become quite feisty, and John Beaton quickly blows his half-time whistle.

Hearts have been the better team so far but have shown Kilmarnock mercy when it comes to the final ball. Will that come back to punish them?

Craig Gordon has only been worked once or twice in the home goal, and Derek McInnes cut a particularly unhappy figure on the touchline.

That's a second booking for Kilmarnock, and both for bad fouls on Elton Kabangu.

The first was a cynical pull from Robbie Deas. The second was a full-blooded challenge from Kyle Magennis.

Kabangu is left crumpled in a heap.

Andy Halliday's fourth-minute penalty splits the sides, who meet for the second Saturday running.

Sven Sprangler was penalised for a handball and the midfielder dually dispatched.

A much better performance from Motherwell here than last week, while there have been glimmers of goodness from Saints.

A turgid game which came to life at the half hour mark.

Ross County were awarded a penalty - after a VAR check - for a handball by Nicky Cadden. Jordan White missed from the spot for the first time this season though.

Hibs made them pay when Nectarios Triantis teed up Dylan Levitt to stroke them into the lead.

The Cadden combo almost makes it 2-0 to Hibs.

Chris Cadden swings it to the back post and twin brother Nicky controls it and smashes a shot towards goal but goalkeeper Jordan Amissah touches it into the side of the net.

Different defender, same Toyosi Olusanaya.

The St Mirren forward is alert and breaks in behind again but can't quite catch the pass before the onrushing Ross Doohan gets there first.

Stephen Robinson's side seem to have Aberdeen's number this season, that's for sure.

Slobodan Rubezic is off. The big Dons defender has struggled this afternoon and the TV cameras pick him up asking for a substitution before he heads straight up the tunnel.

Alfie Dorrington replaces him.

St Johnstone support wanting a penalty of their own now...

A hand on the back of Max Kucheriavyi from Tom Sparrow sees the Saints player go down in the box.

It's soft and after a finger to the ear, Kevin Clancy waves play on.

It looks like Aberdeen are going to their bench, Alfie Dorrington is getting stripped and ready to come on.

If I was to guess, I would say Slobodan Rubezic is set to be hooked.

Call it what you want but they're left two for two. Olusanya and Mandron are not lightweight strikers, you've gone two centre-backs up against two very good central strikers.

That, from a defensive team perspective, is utterly shambolic. That is so naive, there's no leaders on the pitch that understand the vulnerability of that situation.

A mild dust-up here as Blair Spittal and Liam Polworth clash, following Cammy Devlin going down under pressure from Calvin Ramsay.

Sensible from referee John Beaton, who keeps his cards in his pocket.

St Mirren are not giving the Aberdeen players a minute's peace.

They are snapping into the challenges all over the park and are clearly growing in confidence.

This has been an incredibly quick half-hour of play... and it's welcomed.

Not because the game isn't good, it's actually decent, but my goodness it is bitterly cold.

To give you an idea, I have four thermal layers, a snood, a hat, gloves and a big jacket wrapped around my legs in addition to the one I have on.

And half of Allan Preston's heater.

Freezing doesn't cut it.

Jamie McCart has the ball in the back of the Kilmarnock net, but the flag is up quickly.

It comes from a Blair Spittal crossed free-kick.

The replay looks very tight... but the decision stands. No goal.
