That should be 1-1 - but it's brilliant goalkeeping from Ellery Balcombe.

Topi Keskinen is slipped in behind by Kevin Nisbet and he goes one-on-one, but Balcombe produces a fine block.

Big, big chance for Hearts.

Another set piece comes into the Celtic box and Lewis Neilson gets free, but his close-range effort is stopped brilliantly by Viljami Sinisalo.

I hate doing weather reports at the football but the conditions will no doubt affect the game. It's windy, the rain is coming down in bucket-loads and the pitch is soggy to say the least. Welcome back to Scottish football, Neil Lennon and Victor Wanyama.

Easter Road has been pretty quiet in comparison to the rest of the grounds.

After a delay to the start for a minute's applause for former Hibs man John Fraser, there's not been a huge amount of action.

Martin Boyle sends in Hibs free-kick that bends all the way out the other side.

Bright from Hearts as Elton Kabangu's dangerous drive across goal is blocked.

They've started well, the away side.

Jonah Ayunga clashes with Lewis Mayo at the side of the box and the ref points to spot.

Not a lot in that...

Viljami Sinisalo's first action in the Celtic goal sees the keeper claim a looping effort from Lawrence Shankland.

The goalie then starts a Celtic attack with a long throw out to the left.

For a brief second it looks like Celtic are in trouble as Hearts swarm Maik Nawrocki, but the defender shows great composure to find Callum McGregor and the hosts race forward.

McGregor already showing how important he is to Celtic with that early attack.

Aberdeen have flown out the blocks and Leighton Clarkson's neat pass round the corner starts a good move.

They come down the left, with Jeppe Okkels crossing low to Topi Keskinen in the box, but the Finn puts his shot wide.

And we're off at most of the grounds.

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland he isn't tweaking his side's shape despite making three changes.

"No, it's a shape we've always tried to play with our front two as much as we can," he said.

"We're hoping that obviously with Matty Kennedy and Fraser Murray on the sides we're looking to try and get as much benefit of that out there.

"Bruce Anderson's been a bit unlucky, he's not played a bit more so he comes in today, he's probably the best striker we've got in the penalty box and we know the stats show that we need to try and be a bit more productive because we're still getting into the box, we're still creating chances and we need to try and be a wee bit more effective with that sort of dominance.

"Behind it all we've got the respect of St Mirren as well, it's a big game for them as well, they've still got top six aspirations and we know the importance of the game for them."

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland he reckons the conditions may play a part.

"I think the wind will, yeah," he said.

"But some rain never hurt anybody, it makes the pitch a little bit slicker, which it'll suit us but it's the same for both teams, isn't it? So no excuses."

On Alex Iacovitti's absence, he is glad it's not as severe and injury as for thought, adding: "We thought that was going to be the season [over for him] but it's only going to be a week to 10 days.

"As with all the teams that are in this division the difference between a brilliant season and a poorer season, you know, can be two and three points at the moment so we know it's going to be a tough task but one we're confident in."

Motherwell manager Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland: "Luke Armstrong was very important in the games before he got injured. He had a good training week, so he starts.

"Harry [Paton] always had a big impact if he comes into the game and now he'll play from the beginning. It makes us more dynamic in this position and we need this.

"For us, it's just good we are in the race [for top six]. It's a big game but the table is so tight that any point will be good for us.

"Aberdeen is a very good team, very good in possession, like to have the ball. For us, it's a very tough challenge."

Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin tells BBC Scotland: "You always go into a season with a squad in which everybody has to feel important, has to feel accountability. It's the squad who make the season.

"Things will happen - injuries, suspensions, etc. We trust a lot in the players so we're excited for this part of the season.

"We know the table and it's really tight. It's good to play at home, we feel a lot of energy. Motherwell have done very well the last few games but I hope the fans can make the difference."

Hibs head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "Myko [Kuharevich] has done really well in training and was probably a bit unlucky to come out the team, but that's the benefit of having a really strong squad.

"It's not the team that starts it's the team that finishes and we're in a really good place with the squad.

"We have a great opportunity to try and do it today at home. St Johnstone come into the game in good form, they're difficult to break down, they're fighting for their lives and they need the points as much as we do."

St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland: "We enjoyed our break but we're happy to be back in business now, it's felt like a long time.

"Before the split we have three very important games and we need to pick up something out of these matches, starting today.

"We can't predict results we just need to concentrate on our performance.

"We're coming up against an opponent today in very good form but we like these challenges. It's an opportunity, we want to take it and let's see where it takes us."
