What a chance for the visitors!

Luke Bolton is played behind the County backline and the winger's pace gets him to the ball before Ross Laidlaw.

But, rather than taking the ball round the goalkeeper, Bolton almost slide tackles the ball and it agonisingly rolls just past the far post.

Huge let off for County!

Kilmarnock deserve to be ahead, but the minute they got there, they handed St Johnstone a real lifeline.

Ross Millen's decision to recklessly dive in on Scott Tanser earned a straight red card and he could have few complaints.

That just minutes after the visitors gifted Kilmarnock the opener when Rooney switched off, let Mitch Pinnock nip in and Aaron Tshibola did the rest.

Alex Dyer will be fuming if they let this slip having been the better side overall.

St Johnstone substitute David Wotherspoon, on for Shaun Rooney, crosses for Callum Hendry, who beats his marker to get his head to the ball.

However, the striker sends it wide of the Killie goal.

It's been more of the same so far in the second half in terms of the intensity, but County are on top at the moment.

Can they restore their lead? A win would take the Highlanders to the top of the league!

It's crazy stuff from Ross Millen as the Killie full-back takes a heavy touch out on the right touchline and goes in to a tackle with his studs showing.

Referee Andrew Dallas sends him packing and the young defender holds an apologetic hand up and trudges up the tunnel, head bowed.

So soon after his side took the lead as well.

It's St Johnstone's turn to shine as Callum Hendry pirouettes and lashes a shot at the Killie goal. Just as he did from Hendry's free-kick, goalkeeper Danny Rogers uses his legs again to make the save.

Another chance goes a begging for the hosts.

A lovely bit work by Lee Erwin on the right as the former Motherwell man dances his way into the box before setting up Harry Paton, but the midfielder blasts over the bar.

It's hotting up at Rugby Park. Killie centre-half Stuart Findlay is given far too much time to advance and is almost in a new postcode by the time he meets any opposition.

When the ball comes to Nicke Kabamba, the striker works it on to his right foot and cracks a shot on target, but Elliot Parish makes another good save.

Marios Ogkmpoe is on for Hamilton up front and the hosts have a bit more about them in this second half.

Andrew Winter is fouled right on the edge of the St Mirren box - another inch or two and it would have been penalty - but David Templeton slips as he takes a shot, curving the ball wide.

County get away with one as the hosts are dispossessed just outside their own area, but United can't capitalise on the error and fail to create anything out of it.

It's a rare effort on target for St Johnstone at Rugby Park.

Kilmarnock goalkeeper Danny Rogers saves well with his legs as Callum Hendry's free-kick from 20 yards is deflected by the edge of a rather porous-looking defensive wall.

Scott McMann centres for former Hearts midfielder Ross Callachan to send another effort wide of the St Mirren goal.

In the first chance of the second half, Chris Burke - who else? - arches a cross from the right wing to the middle of the Saints penalty box.

Nicke Kabamba gets in front of his marker the way that good strikers somehow always do, but his volley is a couple of feet too high.

Much better from Hamilton as they press on the right and switch play for midfielder Ross Callachan to fire in a shot that goalkeeper Jak Alnwick tips over.

We're off again....let's hope for a few more goals.
