Scott Tanser is a lucky man. He's caught Scott Allardice very late with a reckless tackle, but it's just a yellow card.

Moments later, he commits a foul in an aerial duel on the edge of the box.

He's ushered away from the referee as he complains. Careful now, Scott.

A good block from Rocky Bushiri keeps out Aberdeen.

Topi Keskinen races forward and tries to tee up Ester Sokler in the box, who gets a knock from Bushiri on his way through.

There was a brief check for a penalty but play continues.

Still waiting for the first goal in the first and second tiers.

We thought we had one at Livingston there, but it sounds like it's been ruled out for a handball.

Rangers are on top, as you would expect.

Mohamed Diomande makes a good run into the Dundee box, evading two challenges before Billy Koumetio slides in and takes the ball.

He had to time that perfectly.

After a lively start by the home side, it is the visitors who are very much in the ascendency at Pittodrie at the moment, with Aberdeen being pegged back by a Hibs side who are very much on the front foot.

Graeme Shinnie's foul on Joe Newell gives Hibs a free-kick about 25 yards from the Dons goal.

Nicky Cadden takes but the wind bobbles his effort into the Aberdeen wall. Martin Boyle is then forced to turn it behind under pressure from the Dons defence.

Man, that weather in Dingwall looks seriously miserable.

Fair play to the fans who have braved the conditions!

Very early pressure from the hosts at Pittodrie.

Nicky Devlin breaks down the wing and lofts his pass into the box but Hibs eventually deal with it.

Early on, Mikael Mandron heads one over the bar.

But the talking point has to be the wind. It is absolutely wild. Tracking the ball in the air is almost impossible and it's going to play a huge part in this game.

I can vouch for the fact the wind is howling around Pittodrie.

I almost got blown off my feet down by the tunnel, and at 6ft 5in that is saying something.

It is certainly a day for keeping the ball on the deck.

Having spoken to both managers, Dons boss Jimmy Thelin is clearly hoping there is a freshness to his side after a welcome weekend off.

For David Gray, after the clear improvement in his side of late, it is about keeping it going today.

And we're off in Dingwall. On time, too!

Kick-off at Ibrox and Pittodrie will soon follow.

If you've been listening to Sportsound, you'll have just heard SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell talk about a number of topics.

One of them was the ongoing issues with pyrotechnics in the stands.

Are you in favour of pyro? Thumbs up for yes, thumbs up for no...

St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "Enforced changes. Oisin [Smyth] has waited patiently for his chance, he's been excellent for me and he's a very set-play taker.

"Roland [Idowu] has also been on the verge, been training very well. The team picked itself to be honest.

"Declan [John] was down to start but he woke up this morning with the flu. Scott Tanser comes in, he only trained a little bit yesterday. We've been tested.

"If you beat the teams around you, you gain that momentum. This is a strange league. If you win two, you're top six. If you lose two, you're looking over your shoulder."

We're told Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland has withdrawn from the team in the warm-up. It's not clear why yet.

So it's looks like Liam Kelly will make his Rangers debut in his second spell.

Aberdeen v Hibernian: The Leith side have scored two or more goals in five of their last seven league games against the Dons (15 total), but they have also shipped two or more in each of their last three (nine total).

Rangers v Dundee: The visitors' Premiership games this season have seen more goals than any other side (56), while Rangers’ have seen the fewest (36).

Ross County v St Mirren: County are unbeaten in four home league meetings with St Mirren (W3 D1), this after losing three in a row against the Buddies on home soil in the Premiership beforehand.

Raith Rovers have just confirmed Sacramento Republic have activated the financial release clause in manager Neill Collins' contract.

"As a result, he will depart the club with immediate effect," the Championship club say.

He only joined the Kirkcaldy side in September and leaves following last night's 2-1 win at Queen's Park.

Ibrox stadium will celebrate it's 125th birthday today. The weather could be kinder, it's windy and rainy but I'm sure the Rangers fans will embrace the pre-match party.

They'll also be hoping there's cause for celebrations post-match too. Dundee are the visitors to Ibrox, and while they may be out to try and ruin the birthday celebrations, they've not got the best of records here.

Hibernian boss David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "We've got really good options in the squad at the moment.

"The two boys coming in will give us what they do, which is real running power and quality. The team that starts is never the team that finishes so the subs need to be ready to come on and make an impact.

"Confidence is a big thing, when you're on the receiving end of a poor run of results, confidence does take a bit of a knock.

"I think last time we met Aberdeen was a real turning point in the season, we've really used it as that.

"The confidence is there from the players and it's up to them to really put a marker down today."
