Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson makes two changes to the side that lost 3-0 to Celtic before the international break as his side search for their first league win. Nathan McGinley makes his return from injury at wing-back, having not played since the opening day against Ross County, while Callum Lang replaces Christopher Long up front.

St Johnstone, meanwhile, are unchanged from their 1-0 win against St Mirren. However, goalkeeper Zander Clark is now fit enough to return to the bench after two months out with a knee problem.

"It's been a very stressful 24 hours, without a doubt," St Mirren boss Jim Goodwin tells BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.

"We were hoping the SPFL would help us out in regards to the game. We were willing to give Peter Urminsky, our 21-year-old third-choice goalkeeper his debut today, but then unfortunately the Track & Trace team decided that he was also ruled out because he had been training with the two other goalkeepers.

"That left us in a really strange situation where we had no goalkeepers for the match today.

"I genuinely felt the SPFL would have shown a bit of compassion and a little bit of understanding regarding the situation but we were told that under no circumstances would the game be postponed."

"It's been a really frantic 24 hours, very unsettling for everybody, training had to be cancelled yesterday morning. It's been really frustrating and I just can't believe that under these extreme circumstances, we weren't allowed more time.

"Even just to postpone the game for 10 days. I'm pretty sure everybody at Hibs would have been understanding of the situation. Had it been three outfielders it would have been completely different. But we were told yesterday that if we couldn't get a goalkeeper, we would have had to play an outfield player in goal."

Aberdeen are unchanged from their 1-0 win over Hibernian, with on-loan Marley Watkins preferred up front to Curtis Main and Bruce Anderson, who both have to make do with a place on the bench. Ronald Hernandez drops out of the squad altogether.

Kilmarnock understandably don't make too many changes from their 4-0 win over Dundee United.

Manager Alex Dyer makes just the one tweak, Zeno Rossi is the bench with Ross Millen coming back into the starting line-up.

BBC Scotland at Pittodrie

The decision to make Aberdeen v Kilmarnock a test event for the return of fans means a lot of eyes will be on Pittodrie today.

While the action will be unfolding on the pitch, there will be as much attention – if not more - on what is happening off it.

It's more than six months since there were any spectators inside the ground. This afternoon 300, socially-distanced Dons season tickets holders, will be spread around the South Stand.

In terms of the game itself, Aberdeen will be looking to pick up where they left off before the international break.

The hosts have won their last four games, and they will be heartened by their good recent record against Kilmarnock.

As for Killie, they’ve not had the start to the season they would have wanted.

But Alex Dyer will be hoping an impressive 4-0 win over Dundee United last time out can represent a corner turned, and a launch pad for the rest of the campaign.

There's still no place in the Rangers starting XI for Alfredo Morelos, with Steven Gerrard keeping faith in Kemar Roofe.For United, Lawrence Shankland is on the bench following a return from injury. Nicky Clark will lead the attack for the visitors.

BBC Sport Scotland in Paisley

Bobby Zlamal will be between the sticks for St Mirren just 24 hours after playing in a bounce game at Tynecastle on Friday afternoon. The last time the stopper visited Paisley he kept goal for Hearts in their 1-0 defeat by Saints. A loss that ultimately led to the Tynecastle club being relegated from the top flight.

Bobby Zlamal will be in goal for St Mirren's Premiership game with Hibernian this afternoon after all three of the club's goalkeepers were ruled out because of coronavirus.

Pole Zlamal has signed on loan from Hearts after Jak Alnwick, Dean Lyness and Peter Urminksy were all sidelined.

St Mirren said on Thursday that Alnwick is self-isolating after testing positive, then confirmed that a second goalkeeper also has the illness and that a third is also unavailable after working alongside the first two.

The third goalkeeper has tested negative but is "at potential risk of transmission" so will be excluded as a precaution.

St Mirren have since registered goalkeeper coach Jamie Langfield, 40, who will be on the bench.

Good afternoon and a warm welcome to our live text coverage of this afternoon's Scottish Premiership extravaganza.

Six games at 3pm - harking back to the old days - for us to enjoy.
