"Very cold with frost still on the pitch but the low winter sun may provide an obstacle for County in this first half. Aberdeen on the front foot already as they look to close in on Celtic."

County initially clear but the ball is worked back to Hayes, whose swerving shot is beaten away by Scott Fox.
