Kilmarnock 0-2 Aberdeen
We're off in the second half and, as I suggested, Killie boss Steve Clarke has made half-time changes.
More of them in a minute.

Dons central defence impresspublished at 13:26 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017
HT: Kilmarnock 0-2 Aberdeen
Anthony O'Connor and Scott McKenna have been preferred in central defence by Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes, with Iceland international Kari Arnason being dropped to the bench, and the new pairing have looked comfortable.
Kilmarnock manager Stevie Clarke must surely be considering changes at half-time to alter the flow of the game.
A first home win of the season is a long way off - and unlikely - right now.
For the Dons, they are on their way to reducing the gap at the top of the table without having to work too hard for their lead.

HALF-TIME Kilmarnock 0-2 Aberdeenpublished at 13:14 Greenwich Mean Time 26 November 2017
Aberdeen are on their way to reducing the gap between themselves and Premiership leaders Celtic to three points.
Kenny McLean answered critic Kris Boyd, who is on the Kilmarnock bench after his criticism of the midfielder's Scotland call-up, by giving the Dons the lead within the first minute.
Stephen O'Donnell deflected the second into his own net in a first half in which Kilmarnock rarely threatened a comeback from those two early blows.

BBC Sport ScotlandCredit to the home side, who are gradually becoming more influential in this match. They've tested the Aberdeen defence, although the visitors are holding firm.
The crowd have finally got going and it's the result of a touch more creativity and purpose. Jordan Jones looks threatening, but, crucially, Joe Lewis is yet to make a single save.
Derek McInnes will demand his Aberdeen side get better control of the flow of traffic as they looked so comfortable in the early stages.

Another foul from Kirk Broadfoot. The former Rangers and Rotherham United defender is on thin ice.
Not anything to do with the condition of the Rugby Park pitch and the freezing temperatures but because he is already on a yellow card as he wrestles with Stevie May.

Kilmarnock are starting to exert some pressure on the Dons defence, but Jordan Jones fires well over after engineering himself a sight at goal deep inside the penalty area.

Kenny McLean's opener for the Dons was the former St Mirren midfielder's fourth goal of the season.
Stevie May would have matched that had there not been a deflection on the visitors' second.

BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby ParkAberdeen are utterly dominant and look likely to add to their tally sooner rather than later.
Clearly, the second goal had a touch of fortune with the ball coming off two Killie players then beyond MacDonald. However, at this stage, there's only one side in it.
Kilmarnock haven't got going and certainly haven't recovered from losing that first-minute goal.
They look short of confidence. It's less than encouraging for the home support.

Aberdeen threaten again and there would have been another stroke of luck about it, but Greg Tansey's overhit curling corner just misses the crossbar and lands on the top of the net.
GOAL Kilmarnock 0-2 Aberdeenpublished at 11mins
Stephen O'Donnell own goal
A miserable couple of minutes are complete for Kirk Broadfoot.
The free-kick he conceded is curled into the penalty area and Stevie May's flicked header deflects off Broadfoot then team-mate Stephen O'Donnell before dropping past goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald and into the net.
Kilmarnock's terrible home record looks set to continue and we're only 11 minutes into the game.

BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby ParkWe can already see the attacking threat Aberdeen possess in this structure with this personnel.
It was a positive, blistering start and a tidy finish from Kenny McLean on his weaker foot, albeit a touch too simple.
Kilmarnock seem to possess greater mental strength under Steve Clarke, so it'll be interesting to see how they react to this setback.
Right now, they're struggling to get on the ball and get forward.
