    Aberdeen 4-1 Hibernian

    Former Hibs defender Craig Paterson on Radio Scotland: "Nobody is celebrating. It has been a horrible day for Hibs and that is not going to make a blind bit of difference."

  9. FULL-TIME Aberdeen 4-1 Hibernianpublished at 14:21

    Thunderous applause from the Aberdeen supporters, acknowledged by hat-trick hero Gary Mackay-Steven - who is clutching the match ball - and Dons boss Derek McInnes who runs down the touchline and through the tunnel with a clenched fist held aloft.

    The Dons punish Hibs' defensive mistakes with a second-half masterclass and move nine points clear of their opponents.

    GOAL Aberdeen 4-1 Hibernianpublished at 88 mins

    Graeme Shinnie O.G.

    Hibernian nab a late consolation as Anthony Stokes sees his effort - was it goalbound? - take a wicked deflection off Aberdeen skipper Graeme Shinnie and bounce into the net as a dismayed Joe Lewis looks on.

    Think that will go down as a Shinnie O.G.

  11. sun

    Derek McInnes is also afflicted by the unforgiving sunshine bathing the dugouts; both managers could have used some Roy Orbison shades to combat the sun.

  12. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 85 mins

    It's a fifth for Aberdeen... no! It's chalked off for offside. Anthony O'Connor rises to nod the ball into Andrew Considine's path and he makes no mistake from a couple of yards. However, the linesman has his flag up in a heartbeat and it remains 4-0.

  13. Restricted viewpublished at 83 mins

    Aberdeen 4-0 Hibernian

    Hibernian manager Neil Lennon and his assistant Garry Parker are struggling to see the action with the sun unrelenting in that section of Pittodrie.

    Although, they've probably seen enough today. Seven minutes plus added time remaining before the bloodletting draws to a close.

  18. Ambrose 'having a very difficult afternoon'published at 14:05

    Aberdeen 4-0 Hibernian

    Former Hibs defender Craig Paterson on BBC Radio Scotland: "That is totally unprofessional from Efe Ambrose. You are 4-0 down, playing for pride, and he is tapping it around on the edge of his own box. Ambrose has been terrific since he came to Hibs, but he is having a very difficult afternoon."

    Aberdeen are winning all the 50-50s this afternoon, which I’m fairly sure Neil Lennon will find completely unacceptable. The anticipated second-half reaction from the visitors simply hasn’t materialised. Credit to Aberdeen for not letting up.

    The three Aberdeen midfielders have been outstanding today, and John McGinn has been anonymous. The pundits who suggest Graeme Shinnie and others are not good enough for international football, I think they have got it totally wrong
