Kilmarnock 0-0 Dundee

Stuart Findlay's high foot catches the head of Kenny Miller. The Dundee striker wins a free-kick and is able to carry on playing without treatment.

Kilmarnock turning the screw now with Jordan Jones and Chris Burke stretching Dundee in the wide areas.

An enterprising move eventually ends with Greg Stewart's shot rising narrowly over the crossbar.

St Johnstone 0-1 Motherwell

After such a bright start, it's perhaps not a surprise things are beginning to calm down somewhat in Perth.

To say St Johnstone have recovered is stretching it, Tommy Wright's men still don't look like creating much.

The biggest thing to cheer is Murray Davidson's colliding with Curtis Main in a rather delicate area. Ooft.

For the past few minutes, it is St Mirren who are having more of the ball, but home captain Stephen McGinn elects to shoot from just inside Aberdeen's half, which nearly went out for a throw in.

Neither goalkeeper has had much to do so far, although both teams are trying to pass the ball and get the game going.

Eamonn Brophy goes down in the Dundee box surrounded by defenders, but referee Kevin Clancy pays no heed to the faint penalty appeals.

There may have been a tug at the Kilmarnock forward's arm, but nothing to convince the officials of an infringement.

Jordan Jones cuts in from the left and has a shot at goal that is beaten away by Dundee goalkeeper Jack Hamilton.

Worth the effort from the Kilmarnock winger given the wet and windy conditions at Rugby Park.

A quiet and tentative opening to proceedings at Rugby Park with Kilmarnock seeing most of the ball so far but with no real openings.

Radio coverage of this match has now started on BBC Radio Scotland 810MW/online.

Aberdeen starting on the front foot and having the better of it, but we're still waiting for our first real opportunity.

The conditions aren't nearly as bad as we feared and the pitch is looking in remarkably good condition.

The commentary of Kilmarnock v Dundee on BBC Radio Scotland 810MW/online will be a little delayed with the rugby coverage of Glasgow Warriors v Lyon still having a few minutes to run.

We're off around the country in a fixture card that has been shortened by games involving Celtic and Rangers being delayed until tomorrow because of Thursday's Europa League involvement - as well as four games postponed in League One and Two.

It’s always good to cover football games, but a first versus second contest at the top of the Championship is especially appealing.

This is truly game of the day! The Somerset Park surface is slippery and this will hopefully be a cracker!

Both starting XI's are unchanged from previous outings.

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright tells Radio Scotland he has his feet on the ground despite his side's eight-game unbeaten run. "I just want us to continue the good run we are on," he says.

"It's been a credit to the players and they sit just five points off top. That's the main focus. We know it will be difficult and the conditions will be difficult too.

"The players have been difficult to beat and they've been a good attacking force. We are the only team to go to Livingston and win and we saw how hard that is last night.

"All that is in the past. Come 3pm, we have to be focused."

Dean Lyness makes his debut in goal for St Mirren and manager Oran Kearney tells BBC Scotland: "Dean's ready for his chance and deserving of his chance. He's got good pedigree over the last few years.

"I think it will be a huge test today. They're off the back of a good win and will come here buoyant. But, for us, after a debacle of a second half last week, it's important we get right back up there today.

"The qualities we lacked last week of mentalities and things like that are so important today."

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has handed teenager Connor McLennan a start after an impressive showing off the bench against Livingston.

"What we have had from Connor is a wee bit of consistency," he tells BBC Scotland. "Certainly, the other night he was terrific when he came on and really dragged us forward.

"It was a big effort from everyone to beat Livingston. If Connor can start today where he finished off, he'll have a good afternoon."

McInnes also revealed that Gary Mackay-Steven is still not fit to return to the squad after the concussion suffered in the League Cup final against Celtic.

"We're hoping that he can be back before too long," he says. "Hopefully it'll be Tuesday, if not then hopefully Saturday."
