St Mirren so close to a second as Junior Morias' shot strikes the base of the post before Cammy MacPherson's shot from outside the box is claimed by goalkeeper Robby McCrorie.

Danny McNamara slides in to prevent a certain goal as Peter Pawlett completes a neat one-two with Lawrence Shankland inside the St Johnstone penalty area.

It looks like Dundee United have woken up in this second half...

Here are the Aberdeen fans who caught their side's game today from a cherry-picker truck outside Pittodrie. Some commitment. You can't stop these guys watching their beloved Dons.

Although, they might wish they hadn't bothered after Aberdeen meekly lost 1-0 to Rangers.

Isak Thorvaldsson makes his St Mirren debut as a replacement for Ilkay Durmus.

The teenage attacker is on loan from Norwich City.

Christian Doidge has added a different dimension to the Hibs attack. He's such a handful in the air, grappling himself on to a Daryl Horgan cross, but gets under the ball and loops his header over the crossbar. A good chance squandered.

Craig Conway, a Scottish Cup hero for Dundee United in 2010, is on for his St Johnstone debut.

That will make a few Terrors fans nervous...

Martin Boyle almost claims his hat-trick with that devastating pace again catching Kilmarnock out.

Boyle speeds on to a lovely Joe Newell chip, but from eight yards out, lofts the bouncing ball over the crossbar. It was an awkward one to stick away, that.

Still working his way back to full fitness, Christian Doidge comes on for Hibs to join the home side's attack. The Welshman was the Easter Road team's top scorer with 18 goals last season, and will add some physical menace alongside Kevin Nisbet.

Lewis Stevenson has come on too, with Drey Wright and Josh Doig coming off. A few minutes ago, Jack Ross replaced Scott Allan with Daryl Horgan.

Chris Burke lines up another long-range free-kick, but can't repeat his first-half heroics. The winger's effort flies straight into the arms of Ofir Marciano.

Ilkay Durmus has recovered from his knock but Craig Sibbald's afternoon is over as he comes off clutching his shoulder, with Scott Robinson coming on for Livingston.

St Mirren 1-0 Livingston

Livingston's Craig Sibbald and St Mirren's Ilkay Durmus challenge for a bouncing aerial ball and both take a sore one on the way down.

Dundee United dynamo Ian Harkes gathers the ball near his own penalty area and charges straight up the middle to the edge of the Saints' box, evading just one lunging tackle on his way. He cuts back to avoid a second challenge before shooting but his effort sails straight into the hands of Elliot Parish.

A substitution a piece in Paisley as Junior Morias takes over from Kyle McAllister for the hosts and Salim Kouider-Aissa replaces Alan Forrest for Livi.

I don’t think many were expecting St Johnstone to get back into this game after Michael O’Halloran's red card before the break.

But Liam Craig’s terrific strike has changed all that. You wouldn’t bet against them scoring again now.

Ofir Marciano bails out Paul Hanlon with a fabulous save to stop the Hibs defender scoring an own goal.

Hanlon has to slide in to prevent Nicke Kabamba knocking in a fizzing low delivery, but the ball loops dangerously towards the home net and Marciano at full stretch tips it wide.

The depleted visitors are full of beans since levelling the game.

David Wotherspoon drags a volley wide before lashing a second effort on target soon after. Benjamin Siegrist makes a good stop since the shot took a slight deflection and the home goalkeeper has to look smart to beat away Danny McNamara's follow-up effort.

Lyndon Dykes is on the attack and his cross is blocked by Richard Tait, possibly with his arm.

However, referee Don Robertson sees no infringement.
