  1. GREAT SAVE!

    Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Now Hibs threaten and Emerson Hyndman tests Joe Lewis with a shot.

  2. Jim Duffy
    Former Hibernian manager on Sportsound

    It's a coat of paint away from being a wonderful goal

  3. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen win a free-kick in a dangerous area and Dominic Ball's effort cannons off the crossbar and bounces down in the six-yard box. Hibs get it clear and they will feel that's a real let off.

  4. Fascinating contest

    This already looks to be a fascinating contest with both teams passing up decent opportunities in the opening quarter of the game.

    There is no doubt Derek McInnes has pinpointed Martin Boyle as the serious threat in the home team with both Max Lowe and Andy Considine ensuring there is little room for the Hibernian winger to show his electric pace.

    There also have been a few 'meaty' challenges coming in from Sam Cosgrove on both Paul Hanlon and Stevie Mallan that referee Steven McLean has witnessed and no doubt taken note of.

  5. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Stevie Mallan's free-kick is too high and dips over the Aberdeen crossbar.

  6. 'Both teams carry a threat'

    Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeeen

    Willie Miller
    Former Aberdeen captain on Sportsound

    There's been a good tempo to the game, both teams are trying to play the ball forward sharply. Hibs look really sharp on the break, and Aberdeen are threatening at set pieces

  7. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Gary Mackay-Steven flashes a shot wide of the Hibernian goal following another Aberdeen set piece.

  8. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Jim Duffy
    Former Hibernian manager on Sportsound

    Aberdeen are trying to stifle Hibernian and there's not really too much space

  9. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen's Andy Considine went closest in the opening minutes but Adam Bodgan was on hand to save

  10. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Emerson Hyndman gets into an advanced position for Hibernian but the challenge of Michael Devlin puts the midfielder off and his shot goes wide.

  11. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Referee Steven McLean has a word with Hibs' Florian Kamberi and Aberdeen's Scott McKenna after the pair tussle off the ball but no cards.

  12. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    An open game so far but both sides are struggling to retain possession. A few misplaced passes here and there are preventing any real flow to the play.

  13. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    You felt he had to hit the target and he puts it by the post

    Former Aberdeen captain Willie Miller

    It was almost the perfect counter-attack goal. He has to score, simple as that

  14. CLOSE!

    Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen were bossing things but Hibernian mount a piercing counter attack with Florian Kamberi played in by Emerson Hyndman.

    Kamberi manages to get away from the Aberdeen defence and goalkeeper Joe Lewis but, on the turn, the striker knocks the ball wide.

  15. National interest

  16. Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Gary Mackay-Steven has another set piece opportunity on the opposite side of the pitch, the right, but his delivery is far too high.

  17. GREAT SAVE!

    Hibernian 0-0 Aberdeen

    Hibs goalkeeper Adam Bogdan denies Andy Considine from close range following a free-kick from Gary Mackay-Steven.

    Hibs still have a bit of work to do and Mark Milligan makes a vital clearance.
