    The game could open up in these last 10 minutes with St Mirren going with two up-front. You imagine Aberdeen might get more time in midfield now. Both managers are certainly going for it

  2. Defoe relishes Tynecastle testpublished at 14:10

    Hearts v Rangers (15:00)

    Jermain Defoe, who has agreed a permanent move from Bournemouth to Rangers this summer, has been recalling Tottenham Hotspur's 5-0 Europa League play-off win at Tynecastle back in 2011.

    "It's one of the better places to play in terms of the atmosphere and importance of the game, they are a really good team and I had experience playing there for Tottenham, which was a good match for us," the 37-year-old former England striker tells Rangers TV.

    "I enjoy it, they are a good team and the atmosphere is unbelievable. They are the types of games you want to play in and to go there and get a result would be special."

    It's been tight in terms of chances overall between the two sides and St Mirren have worked tirelessly, but you imagine Jim Goodwin will think this game is there to be won for the home side

  5. McGregor starts for unchanged Rangerspublished at 14:01

    Hearts v Rangers (15:00)

    Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has stuck with the same starting XI that defeated St Mirren 1-0 in midweek, despite their struggle to break down the relegation threatened Paisley side.

    Newspaper speculation suggested goalkeeper Allan McGregor was an injury doubt with an ankle knock in training proves premature.

    It's another chance on the break for St Mirren and the effort didn't look too far away. Durmus had every right to have a go

  10. CLOSE!published at 68 mins

    St Mirren 0-0 Aberdeen

    Much better from the hosts. They stretch Aberdeen with a lightning counter and Ilkay Durmus sends a fizzing shot whistling inches over the bar.

    I think St Mirren are starting to get a bit open. You're beginning to see some spaces appearing for Aberdeen to take advantage of

    St Mirren 0-0 Aberdeen

    Scotland manager Steve Clarke is in the stand for today's game. Clarke is sporting a bobble hat, scarf and winter coat to combat the January elements.

    A goal in Paisley would warm everyone's cockles...

    St Mirren might be well organised, but they work extremely hard as well. They are giving Aberdeen no time on the ball at all

  16. Buddies holding firmpublished at 58 mins

    St Mirren 0-0 Aberdeen

    Sam Cosgrove heads towards goal but the Aberdeen striker's effort lacks power to seriously threaten goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky.

  17. Recurring pattern...published at 55 mins

    St Mirren 0-0 Aberdeen

    Ten minutes into the second half and it remains a scrappy affair in Paisley. In fairness, both sides are doing their best to get the ball down and play but it's been lacking that wee bit of magic to light up proceedings.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 52 mins

    St Mirren 0-0 Aberdeen

    Aberdeen goalkeeper Joe Lewis is shaken from his Sunday slumber to smother Tony Andreu's deflected drive as St Mirren launch a rare counter into Dons' territory.

    St Mirren 0-0 Aberdeen

    Another Aberdeen attack, St Mirren prove equal to the task and usher the ball out for a goal kick.

    Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
