Aberdeen defender Tommie Hoban, just back from a lengthy injury lay-off, looks in real pain on the Pittodrie turf. It looks like he's done some real damage to his knee as he slid into a challenge.

Saints threaten on the break, but goalkeeper Wes Foderingham does well to block as striker Chris Kane bursts into the penalty box.

Rangers captain James Tavernier curls a drive over the Saints crossbar from just inside the penalty box.

Lennard Sowah is penalised for a late challenge on David Gray as the Hibs skipper rises to meet a header just inside the box.

Aberdeen should be in front... Greg Stewart collects a Sam Cosgrove flick on and slides the ball across goal to Niall McGinn, who somehow puts it over the top from 12 yards.

Another superb delivery from the left flank from Daryl Horgan, whose inswinging right-footed cross finds the back of the head - or maybe the back - of Florian Kamberi, and loops onto the bar.

Accies keeper Gary Woods, who had come out and failed to claim the cross, scrambles back to gather and almost slides over the line with the ball in his hands, just managing to apply the breaks in time.

It must be frustrating for Dundee - a man up but a goal down.

Martin Woods fires a free-kick over the crossbar as Livingston withstand a wee spell of pressure from the visitors.

There are a couple of hundred St Mirren fans up at Pittodrie and for the first time in a long time they have something to cheer about. Their side has begun the game the well and look well organised, with Anton Ferdinand marshalling the five-man defence.

Aberdeen have started slowly and can have no complaints about being behind.

A long ball into the Accies box has defender Ziggy Gordon in trouble as he lets the ball bounce, but Hibs striker Marc McNulty foolishly tugs the toiling full-back to let the visitors off the hook as referee Alan Muir awards them a free-kick.

Rangers are ramping up the pressure and former Ibrox goalkeeper Cammy Bell does well to hold a header from close range by Connor Goldson.

Glen Kamara is next to try his luck, but another former Rangers man, Richard Foster, blocks in front of goal.

Greg Stewart latches on to a through ball and just has the goalkeeper to beat, but Vaclav Hladky does brilliantly to race out and smother his shot. Concern here for Aberdeen as Stewart has stayed on the turf after that challenge. He looks in some pain.

It has been all Dundee up to this point with Livingston also reduced to 10 men, so real surprise that the home side have taken the lead. But the Livingston philosophy never changes - play the game in the opposition half, and it pays off again.

A long throw-in is flicked on to the back post and Craig Halkett leading like a captain should, firing his side ahead against the run of play.

Dundee fill be furious given the chances they have squandered.

Daniel Candeias and Ryan Kent work a short corner and the former lashes a drive over the crossbar from just outside the penalty box as Rangers begin to exert some pressure.

Here come the Saints again and a last-ditch tackle from Joe Worrall is needed as Matty Kennedy breaks in behind the home defence.

Paul McGinn is pulled down by Sam Cosgrove... Spot-kick for the Buddies.

Aberdeen are now putting St Mirren under severe pressure. Niall McGinn skips down the right and drills the ball across the six yard box, but Sam Cosgrove can't quite reach it and it rolls out.
