The Aberdeen players are furious with referee Alan Muir as Ross McCrorie gets on to the end of a Ryan Hedges corner and the ball looks to have struck the arm of Lawrence Shankland as it heads towards the goal. It looked a clear penalty, but play is waved on.

Little was happening for Kilmarnock, but they are back level.

Chris Burke's shot is saved, but it falls into the path of Aaron Tshibola, who will not have an easier finish all season.

Dundee Utd 0-0 Aberdeen

A Jonny Hayes cross from the left takes out three of the cardboard cut-outs in the stand behind the goal!

It's gone from bad to worse for Hamilton. Winger David Templeton has had to limp off and Ronan Hughes is on in his place.

Amid the madness of a fast start, worth brining you the belated team news from New Douglas Park.

Both sides made four changes from their midweek League Cup wins. Reegan Mimnaugh, Charlie Trafford, Callum Smith and Ben Stirling all dropped to the bench for Accies. David Moyo, Scott Martin, Shaun Want and Kyle Munro come in.

As for St Johnstone, Jason Kerr, Danny McNamara, Scott Tanser, Ali McCann replace Shaun Rooney, Callum Booth, Craig Bryson and Liam Craig.

Ryan Hedges threatens for the visitors again with a left-footed, low shot from distance. Benjamin Siegrist palms it wide. The goalkeeper has been busy in the opening 15 minutes, but has looked solid.

Connor McLennan then goes down in the penalty area from a Mark Reynolds challenge. He appeals but it looked a fair challenge and referee Alan Muir waves play on.

A very lively start by Aberdeen, pulling Dundee United all over the place at the moment and carrying real threat and menace.

They should have the lead, the only encouraging thing for United so far being the fact they don't trail.

It's surely only a matter of time for Hibs.

Kevin Nisbet manages to squeeze a shot past Ross Doohan, but it's cleared off the line by Alex Iacovitti. A hand-ball appeal is then turned down shortly after.

Another massive chance goes begging for Hibs and it's Martin Boyle again.

Joe Newell with another delightful pass over the top of the County defence sets Boyle through on goal, but he drags his shot wide.

Should have scored.

Brilliant start from St Johnstone. David Wotherspoon composes himself at the edge of the box and fires low into the bottom corner.

Hamilton goalkeeper Ryan Fulton gets a hand to the ball and probably should have done better.

Good build up play from Livingston. The ball gets played along the penalty area to Scott Pittman, who picks his spot low into the bottom left-hand corner.

Ryan Hedges does superbly to gather the ball and split the United defence by playing in Scott Wright, but Mark Connolly clears off the line to deny the visitors the opener.

Tommie Hoban then has a great chance to put Aberdeen ahead from the resulting corner, but his headed effort is just wide of the post. The Dons are well on top so far.

A phenomenal challenge from Regan Charles-Cook stops Martin Boyle putting Hibs ahead after a brilliant pass through by Joe Newell.

From the resulting corner, the ball falls at the feet of Kyle Magennis, who curls a stunning effort back off the post.

Great start by the visitors.

David Templeton's shot from about 25 yards hits the outside of a post!

Very close to a quick response for Hamilton.

Jonny Hayes' low shot from 25 yards out in the opening minute forces a strong save from United goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist.

It was well struck on the half-volley and serves as an early warning for the home side.
