Livingston can feel hard done by being 1-0 down. They have been the better team and had the most chances, missing three gilt-edged opportunities in particular through Scott Robinson and twice from Chris Erskine.

But Robbie Crawford criminally allowed Andrew Considine to take the ball off his toes at a corner kick and knock it into the net to give the Dons a crucial lead.

It's half-time at Fir Park but Motherwell should really be in front. The home side have had the lion-share of possession and had what seemed to be a perfectly good goal ruled out when Declan Gallacher's header was chalked off for a push in the box.

Stephen Robinson's side have threatened from open play and set-pieces and although their Highland visitors have looked sharp on the counter attack, it's the Steelmen who have displayed more attacking intent in front of goal.

Livingston should be level but Chris Erskine has a nightmare in front of goal.

Andrew Considine gifts the ball to Livi's Marvin Bartley who races through on the stretched Aberdeen defence.

He unselfishly knocks the ball to Erskine who just has to tap into the net, but he kicks fresh air, falls on the floor, and Aberdeen clear.

Precious little in the way of entertainment in that first period. Motherwell dominating possession and territory but short of ideas in the final third. Ross County have been solid enough, with the odd threat on the counter attack, but neither keeper has been overworked.

Sherwin Seedorf cuts inside from the left wing passed a troubled Marcus Fraser and fires the ball towards goal. Half the ground thought it was in but it hits the side netting. Another half chance for Motherwell.

St Mirren have been the better side but they've just not tested Owain Fon Williams in the Accies' goal. The biggest incident was that penalty claim for Junior Morias. Replays show Hamilton captain Brian Easton did make contact with him, but it's hard to tell whether it was enough for the striker to go down.

Oh my. Junior Morias charges clean through for St Mirren, and just as he's striding into the box, the big striker goes to deck. Brian Easton was leaning on him for sure. I'm sure Jim Goodwin will feel that was a penalty and a red card. Morias is stunned it isn't...

Aberdeen broke the deadlock in West Lothian, courtesy of quick thinking by Andrew Considine.

Partick Thistle’s defensive frailties on show once again. Kevin Nisbet got on the end of Ryan Dow’s cross and his effort was deflected past Scott Fox in goal as it trundled in. Bottom leads managerless second bottom at tropical Firhill.

Another chance goes a begging for St Mirren. Tony Andreu runs in behind the defence to get a head on Ryan Flynn's cooped pass, but it's straight at Owain Fon Williams.

Goals aplenty elsewhere but we're still waiting for the first goal in any of this afternoon's three top-flight games.

St Mirren are having the best early chances starting very much in the front foot. Magennis and Marias both had opportunities before Sam Foley produced a mazy run from midfield.

However, the former Northampton player having eluded three challenges forgets that when you get to the 18-yard line he should shoot when there's daylight between him and the opposition ‘keeper.

But he fails to pull the trigger, elects to pass and the chance is lost.

A first real chance for Hamilton now. Marios Ogkmpoe's cross is almost turned into his own net by Kirk Broadfoot.
