Hibs trail to a stunning opener but come close to a very tasty equaliser.

Martin Boyle runs on to a looping clearance at the edge of the St Mirren box, but his first-time volley zips narrowly wide.

Hamilton striker James Keatings has a shot from the edge of the box but it's easily saved by Jack Hamilton in the Dundee goal.

That’s two goals in as many games now for Greg Stewart, who is absolutely loving life at Kilmarnock.

The 28-year-old is on a season-long loan from Birmingham City, but his contract expires there in the summer.

Perhaps there might be a few people chasing his signature if he keeps this form up.

How will Motherwell respond? The Steelmen come roaring forward and David Turnbull has a chance to level, but he lashes an effort high and wide.

What a start to the game at Fir Park.

Greg Stewart's header has put Kilmarnock top of the Premiership table. Not too shabby for Steve Clarke's side, eh?

Less than two minutes on the clock and Hibernian are threatening.

Daryl Horgan twists, turns and flights in a hanging ball from the left. Flo Kamberi is unmarked six yards out but heads well over the bar.

The offside flag is up. And just as well, because that was a bad miss.

All set? We're under way across the country!

Goals please, and plenty of them...

Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke told BBC Scotland: "We’ve been steady away, good consistency week in week out and we speak always about the level of our performance - if we get that we normally get a decent result."

On topping the table: "It doesn’t matter all. If we win tonight we’ll have 31 points, which at this stage of the season would be a good points total and give us something to work on."

And the Rugby Park boss is "as confident as can be" that the floodlights will be working tonight!

Steven Gerrard make two changes to his Rangers starting line-up for the visit of Aberdeen. Scott Arfield sits out after being sent off during last weekend's win over Hearts, while Eros Grezda drops to the bench.

Former Aberdeen captain Ryan Jack comes into the starting line-up, along with winger Glenn Middleton.

Aberdeen make one change from the side that started Sunday's League Cup final against Aberdeen, with Connor McLennan coming in for Gary Mackay-Steven, the same change that manager Derek McInnes made at Hampden after Mackay-Steven suffered concussion.

Neither manager has felt the need to change their teams much as both Dundee and Hamilton come off the back of positive results.

Dundee manager Jim McIntyre sticks with the same side that came from two goals down to earn a point against Hibernian at Easter Road . Martin Canning meanwhile makes one change after Saturday's victory over St Mirren, Matt Kilgallon drops out of the defence, and is replaced by Delphin Tshiembe.

Depending on results tonight, Kilmarnock could end the evening top of the Premiership.

It would take a Killie win and slip ups from both Rangers and Celtic, but the very fact it is a possibility must thrill the home fans.

The Killie strike-force of Eamonn Brophy and Greg Stewart is looking more and more formidable by the month, but Livingston’s dolly Menga will be keen to make amends for a two game suspension by making a positive impression at Rugby Park.

Rangers: McGregor; Tavernier, Goldon, McAuley, Flanagan; Coulibaly, Jack, Ejaria; Candeias, Morelos, Middleton.

Substitutes: Foderingham, Worrall, McCrorie, Halliday, Rossiter, Grezda, Lafferty.

Aberdeen: Lewis; Logan, McKenna, Considine, Lowe; Ball, Shinnie; McGinn, Ferguson, McLennan; Cosgrove.

Substitutes: Cerny, Gleeson, Wilson, Wright, May, Campbell, Anderson.

Aberdeen are determined to purge the memory of Sunday's League Cup final defeat when they lock horns with Rangers at Ibrox.

"We have just lost a cup final but you wouldn't know it, speaking to the boys and seeing how the boys are around the hotel, there is a real positivity," says assistant Dons boss Tony Docherty.

"There is a disappointment losing a cup final, of course there is. We have stayed together as a group since the final whistle, we have done everything together.

"There is a real good feeling about them because I think they realise that the performance level against most teams in this league will win a lot of games.

"But as good as we are we realise we need to be a bit more clinical to get the goal to win the game. Rangers are in good form and great home form so we realise we can't dwell on it."

Christophe Berra starts again for Hearts this evening, and manager Craig Levein says he was impressed with him on Sunday [in the loss to Rangers].

Levein tells BBC Scotland: "It was mainly Christophe's decision. I saw the impact he had on Sunday. He's been good since Sunday, feels strong, so he starts again tonight.

I can't remember what our record is [at McDiarmid Park] but we've not got a particular good record. We've got to put the same battling performance we put in on Sunday and hopefully take our chances.

"This game is really important for us."
