Former Scotland winger Chris Burke has come on to make his County debut and the former Nottingham Forest man fires a powerful drive that is beaten away by goalkeeper Zander Clark.

County striker Liam Boyce is left writhing on the deck as he collides with the goalkeeper.

Hamilton goalkeeper Remi Matthews' game is over. He makes way for Robbie Thomson.

With Aberdeen in control, Adam Rooney, Niall McGinn and Jonny Hayes get a rest and the bad news for Kilmarnock is that there are three hungry forwards on and looking to make an impression; Miles Storey, Jayden Stockley and Wes Burns.

Hamilton 1-0 Inverness CT

Hamilton goalkeeper Remi Matthews is clutching his shoulder in pain. He has received treatment and has decided to soldier on for now.

Kilmarnock have now leaked 19 goals in the league this season and could yet ship more in this one, their eighth Premiership match.

The home defence is all at sea and Aberdeen could rack up a few more if they fancy.

Brad McKay has a chance on the right of the box but he fires wide of the near post. Frustation for Caley Thistle.

Saints goalkeeper Zander Clark tips a Jake McEveley header over the crossbar as the defender looks to atone for conceding the penalty that led to the only goal of the game.

Once again Adam Rooney is the recipient of a gift from Kilmarnock as Greg Taylor inadvertently plays the Aberdeen striker through and this time he thrashes a rising shot against the crossbar.

Big chance for a fourth goal as the Killie defence disappears to gift Adam Rooney the freedom of the penalty box but the striker lacks composure and snatches an ugly shot wide. Well wide.

Neither side can reflect on a great second half so far at New Douglas Park. Hamilton seem content to sit on their lead but they did that last week and ended up drawing with St Johnstone...

The hosts had the better of the first half but Dunfermline are starting to apply a bit of pressure now as Farid El Alagui's scissor kick is well saved by Greg Fleming in the Ayr United goalmouth.

Not much separating the teams in this battle of sixth versus seventh in the Championship.

Aberdeen continue to look the more menacing side as Jamie MacDonald tips over a curling effort from Adam Rooney.

The first goal in matches in the Premiership tend to be quite important. Controversy over the first one here and it has given Aberdeen the momentum in this match. 

Andy Considine's effort to make it 2-0 was a thumping effort. Can't help wondering what Lee Clark will have to say over that penalty decision.

Souleymane Coulibaly has seven goals for the season and the Kilmarnock forward is eager for another as he cuts in from the left and curls a long-range effort narrowly wide.

County have upped the tempo after the break and Jonathan Franks fires a low ball into a crowded six-yard box, but there is no home boot able to connect for what would probably have been an equaliser.

Thistle almost find a way back into the match at Ibrox. Wes Foderingham blocks a Chris Erskine effort and with the ball spinning back towards the net the Rangers keeper is back up to make a second save.
