Rate your first half out of 10 Kilmarnock fans?
The away support spent the first half with the wind and rain in their faces and watching their team get blown away by St Mirren. Derek McInnes will be pleased that there's only two goals in it as Killian Phillips twice went close to adding to St Mirren's lead.
The travelling support will hope that their heroes can use the wind to similar effect in the second half and get back into the game.

HALF-TIME Aberdeen 2-1 Motherwellpublished at 15:54 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
After a fast start from Aberdeen, it was the visitors who took the lead - but that didn't last long.
Callum Slattery's headed in the opener, but the Dons hit back through Alfie Dorrington's volley.
Then, Leighton Clarkson's stunning curled effort put the hosts in front.
They might be lucky to have 11 men on the pitch, though, after Papa Gueye's contentious yellow card.

HALF-TIME Hibernian 2-0 St Johnstonepublished at 15:52 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
St Johnstone managed to hold firm against waves of pressure in the closing moments of the half as Hibs looked to add to goals from Junior Hoilett and Martin Boyle.
A comeback is not out of the question but it's a big ask for the side who have scored the second fewest goals in the league this season.

Hibernian 2-0 St Johnstone
St Johnstone are yet to have a shot on target and they're struggling to get out of their own half as Hibs pile on the pressure in the closing stages of the half.
HALF-TIME St Mirren 2-0 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:49 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
St Mirren's early double stunned Kilmarnock into submission, with Caolan Boyd-Munce's opener quickly followed by a Jonah Ayunga penalty.
The visitors have shown some signs of life but nowhere near enough to overturn the deficit.

HALF-TIME Celtic 3-0 Heartspublished at 15:48 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
Reo Hatate skies over just seconds before the half-time whistle.
Hearts will be grateful to hear that because Celtic look hungry for more goals.
A Daizen Maeda double either side of Jota's tap-in has the league leaders three up.

Aberdeen 2-1 Motherwell
A half-chance for Motherwell as an Andy Halliday free-kick is flicked on by Kofi Balmer towards Luke Armstrong, but goalkeeper Ross Doohan bravely cuts it out and wins the free-kick.

Aberdeen 2-1 Motherwell
Motherwell get in behind as Luke Armstrong and Callum Slattery trade passes, but the latter can't quite get the shot away.
Signs of life from the visitors.

PENALTY APPEALpublished at 15:43 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
St Mirren 2-0 Kilmarnock
St Mirren want another penalty as former Killie defender Ryan Alebiosu is barged over by Joe Wright as they race into the box.
Referee Nick Walsh isn't interested though.
GOAL Celtic 3-0 Heartspublished at 15:42 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
Daizen Maeda
Thirty goals for the season!
Reo Hatate sends Nicolas Kuhn in behind and he crosses low for Daizen Maeda to bury the easiest of tap-ins.
Game over, surely.
CLOSE!published at 15:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
Celtic 2-0 Hearts
James Wilson, he has to score.
A James Penrice cross to the back post finds the Hearts teenager free, but he can't divert his header on target from just a few yards out.
GOAL Aberdeen 2-1 Motherwellpublished at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
Leighton Clarkson
Aberdeen work a short corner routine and the ball is played to Clarkson on the edge of the box, and he curls into the corner.
It's an unbelievable finish and it gives Aberdeen the lead. At the moment, they're secure in the top six.
GREAT SAVE!published at 15:37 Greenwich Mean Time 29 March
Celtic 2-0 Hearts
A save from the left boot of Craig Gordon denies Jeffery Schlupp drilling in a third for Celtic.

Aberdeen 1-1 Motherwell
Papa Gueye is in the bad books again, as Kofi Balmer goes down in the box under pressure from the Senegalese striker.
The Motherwell defender is claiming an elbow, but play goes on. It's quite the tightrope the Dons' striker is walking.
