St Mirren almost make it two as Richard Taylor nods wide from a corner. Not far away at all.

They get another chance seconds later when Toyosi Olusanya breaks the offside trap and forces two saves from Craig Gordon.

This game's been really scrappy since the restart. Both sides can play but are struggling to find any rhythm at the beginning of the second period.

Biggest cheer so far? Howls of derision as ref David Dickinson tripped and fell inside the centre circle. Oopsy.

Another decent chance for Mothewell.

Dom Thompson's cross picks out Tom Sparrow at the back post but his diving header dribbles harmlessly wide of Jon McCracken's goal.

Will Ferry can certainly cross a ball. He picks out Sam Dalby but the United striker steers a shot wide.

Ferry and Ryan Strain have put in 11 crosses combined for the home side.

Dundee captain Joe Shaughnessy is on to make his first appearance of the season.

The central defender been out since last April with a knee injury.

A lovely corner is fired in by Noah Chilvers and Elijah Campbell does well to get his head to it but he fires the ball straight at Andy Fisher in the home goal.

It's five goals in six games now for St Mirren's Mikael Mandron, whose goal has given the visitors the lead at Tynecastle.

Dundee are yet to register a shot on target.

The ball almost breaks in the box for United midfielder Allan Campbell, but Lewis Miller does really well to gets his body between ball and man to mop up for Hibs.

St Mirren may be leading but the visitors make a couple of changes, with Toyosi Olusanya on for Jonah Ayunga, while Elvis Bwomono replaces Ryan Alebiosu at right wing-back.

Two goals down and a substitution made all before half an hour... A tough opening for Rangers' interim head coach Barry Ferguson.

Joe Wright's header and Brad Lyons' lasered shot had Kilmarnock in dreamland before Vaclav Cerny scored the first goal of the Ferguson era.

Changes for both teams at the break in Perth.

Barry Douglas is on for St Johnstone, while Jordan White and George Robesten are on for County.

I doubt County boss Don Cowie was happy with what he saw in the opening 45 minutes.

In the last throes of first-half stoppage time. Rangers making a better of fist of things now, with goalscorer Vaclav Cerny leading the way.

What a wonderful save, Kieran O'Hara. A wicked shot from Cyriel Dessers is punched away.

An offside flag is flung up all the way back at the halfway line, though.

There was a fair slice of good fortune for the St Mirren goal but it’s fair to say their all-round play has been excellent.

Richard Taylor and Alex Gogic have been outstanding in snuffing out any opportunities coming the way of the home side, while O’Hara and Phillips are in control in midfield.

Neil Critchley will have some tough talking to do at the break and I would not be surprised if he turns to the bench.

Motherwell have been really impressive, playing with a high level of intensity and pressing constantly. The home fans are lapping it up, up on their feet applauding their players going off at half time.

Dundee haven't been allowed to get into this match and Tony Docherty will no doubt be addressing that in the dressing room right now. He might have to make some changes to shape and personnel if his side are to get back into this one.

St Johnstone have had a the better of a competitive first half.

Chances have been at the a premium, but Saints have had the few there have been and would be in front had it not been for an inspired showing by County keeper Jordan Amissah.

All square at Tannadice. A breathless opening 20 minutes was followed by a bit of a battle for the rest of the half.

Ross Graham's deflected strike had United in front, but Mykola Kuharevich levelled for Hibs by heading in from a corner.

Kuharevich had another chance, and Sam Dalby flicked a header over the bar. A compelling match between two sides chasing European football.

There's been very little in the way of quality in the box, with Hearts failing to test Zach Hemming notably.

St Mirren have really taken their only chance, when the ball broke kindly for Mikael Mandron.

The bad news for Hearts fans is that their team has failed to win any of their past 16 matches when conceding first in the league.
