Flo Kamberi should make it 3-0 for Hibs when a ball from the right finds the striker eight yards out.

He has a go with his right foot, but it's a fresh-air shot. Then he cracks one with his left, but the ball hammers the frame of the goal and spins into the crowd.

A couple of minutes later, County win a free-kick on the right and Sean Kelly's teasing ball is flicked just wide by Billy Mckay.

A quick free-kick catches out the Kilmarnock defence, but Jonathan Obika sees the ball slide off the top of his foot and out harmlessly for a goal kick when he would have been clean through.

Stephen O'Donnell forces his own goalkeeper into a smart stop. Laurentiu Branescu has to tip the full-back's header round the post after the Scotland international gets in ahead of Danny Mullen.

Livi defender Alan Lithgow is a lucky man after swinging a leg at an Aaron Hickey cross. The ball could have gone anywhere but it bounces close to the back post and away to safety.

So close for St Johnstone as they almost score twice in a matter of seconds. Determined play delivered the ball to David Wotherspoon 25 yards out. He tries his luck but the base of the post denies him.

Instantly, the ball finds its way to Stevie May who arcs a smart effort just wide of the far post.

So close to the breakthrough from 10-man Livingston as Jack McMillan slides a shot past Joel Pereira from the edge of the box but up pops Michael Smith with a block just in front of the goal-line.

Kilmarnock play some nice football, knocking it about until full-back Niko Hamalainen finds space and fires a rocket at goal, but it's from a long way out and goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky is able to get behind it without too much trouble.

Aymen Souda is sent packing for a dangerous hitch kick that nearly takes the head off Christophe Berra. Joel Pereira looked in a world of trouble as he flapped at the ball, but Souda went in bizarrely with two feet off the ground. Neil McCann says it was "kung-foo-esque" from the forward.

BBC pundit Allan Preston was bemoaning a lack of pace in the Hibs side. That should change now that winger Darly Horgan is on for holding midfielder Melker Hallberg.

Here we go again across the grounds.

Goals. That's what we need after the interval, with three of the four top flight games stuck in a goalless rut.

This is not one for the football purists.

Hearts striker Uche Ikpeazu when through one-on-one against Matija Sarkic but hesitated a moment too long and his shot was well saved. Ryoto Meshino's long range curler looked to have beaten the Livi 'keeper, but looped just past the post.

The best of the Livingston chances came when former Hearts man Scott Robinson's close-range strike was saved well by Joel Pereira.

A word for referee Greg Aitken, who was booed off the park at half-time by the Hearts fans. He decided not to give Ikpeazu a penalty and avoided giving a host of free-kicks. He's not the most popular man in West Lothian at the moment.
