The visitors almost immediately level the game, with Danny Mullen's dipping effort from the edge of the area tipped over by Motherwell goalkeeper Mark Gillespie.

Ryan Porteous
The Dons started the first half on top, but it is Hibs who come flying out the traps after the break.
From Stevie Mallan's corner, Tom James' low drive takes a deflection off an Aberdeen foot and centre-half Ryan Porteous reacts quickest to sidefoot home from 10 yards.

Hearts 0-1 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock fans may not be willing to say all is well at Rugby Park just yet, but there are notable signs of improvement under new manager Angelo Alessio. If the Ayrshire side go on to win today's clash at Tynecastle they'll be just five points off their points tally at this point last season under Steve Clarke.

It has been a dominant first half from St Johnstone, but they will be kicking themselves that they are still level with Ross County, whose only real chance of the game has been the goal from Joe Chalmers.
Other than that it's been one-way traffic from the visitors. Stevie May missed a pen and spurned a good chance moments later, but has redeemed himself with his first goal on his return to the club.

Ross County 1-1 St Johnstone
We're still playing in Dingwall, and Ricky Foster is in the wars. He has to hobble off injured. He comes back on then goes down again, this time from a head injury administered by one of his own players.

HT: Hearts 0-1 Kilmarnock
Jonathan Sutherland
BBC Sport Scotland at TynecastleI cannot lie, this was a long way from being what you might call entertaining until the ball found the back of the net. The perfect cross from Niko Hamalainen found the head of Chris Burke who scored from eight yards out.
Kilmarnock just about deserve to be ahead having almost taken the lead minutes earlier through a fantastic Gary Dicker volley which flew just over the top corner.
The best chance for Hearts has come from Glenn Whelan via a shot corner. He was set up perfectly by Sean Clare, but the Republic of Ireland midfielder blazed his effort wastefully over the bar.

Ross County 1-1 St Johnstone
St Johnstone almost take the lead in bizarre fashion.
It's a poor free-kick, but somehow Matty Kennedy manages to flick the ball high into the air. It drops down and Ross Laidlaw has to tip it over the bar.
The chances continue to come for the visitors though. Alistair McCann drills a low shot at goal which is heading goal-wards but is blocked.
HALF-TIME Hearts 0-1 Kilmarnockpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 5 October 2019
Kilmarnock are in front at the break and it's a lead they thoroughly deserve. Craig Levein's injury-ravaged side have looked defensively sound for the most part but they've had to contend with waves of attacks down either flank from Angelo Alessio's men.
The goal eventually came a few moments before time when Jake Mulraney failed to get on to the end of a cross to the back post and allowed Chris Burke to happily head it home.
We may need to see the introduction of Steven Maclean or Aidan Keena in the second half because Ryotaro Meshino and Sean Clare haven't offered too many problems for the Kilmarnock defence so far.

A superb strike by Motherwell's Jame Scott separates the two sides at Fir Park. It had been a close-run game until the young forward swept a shot into the top corner from just outside the area. Plenty for St Mirren to ponder at the break

A half to forgetpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 5 October 2019
HT: Aberdeen 0-0 Hibernian
Tyrone Smith
BBC Scotland at PittodrieQuote MessageA half to forget. Describing things as competitive would be talking it up. Scrappy, misplaced passes, aimless long balls, and plenty of fouls. Hibs started well enough, Aberdeen improved as things wore on, the only real positive is that it can only get better after the break... hopefully.
HALF-TIME Aberdeen 0-0 Hibernianpublished at 15:45 British Summer Time 5 October 2019
Aberdeen went into this game with rumblings of discontent from their fans and they have done little to make the fans lay off manager Derek McInnes.
A couple of improved results have eased pressure on visiting boss Paul Heckingbottom, but Hibs haven't done much either to warm the travelling fans at a blustery Pittodrie.
McInnes will at least be happy that the Dons have looked more secure at the back with the return of Scott McKenna and Andrew Considine.
Heckingbottom too will be content that his side are matching the side sitting fourth in the table.

BBC ScotlandWhat a strike from young James Scott, a contender for goal of the season. The 19-year-old curls a powerful effort from 22 yards into the top corner beyond Vaclav Hladky. One to watch on Sportscene tomorrow night on BBC Scotland.

Joe Cardle has gone closest to scoring for the hosts and looks very lively indeed.
