    Kilmarnock have now failed to score in their last three games, and haven't hit the net in six of their last seven games.

    It'll be interesting to hear Kilmarnock manager Alex Dyer's thoughts on Brandon Haunstrup's late red card. It looked needless, and earns him a suspension ahead of a crucial trip to Tannadice to face Dundee United, with defenders Stuart Findlay and Aaron McGown both going off injured this afternoon too.

  5. FULL-TIME Kilmarnock 0-2 Aberdeenpublished at 13:56 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Aberdeen get the three points and move above Hibernian into third place in the Premiership. And they also go level on points with Celtic.

    Ryan Hedges scored shortly after the break to give the Dons the lead, and after Brandon Haunstrup's red card, Sam Cosgrove hammers the resultant free-kick into the net.

    It's a ridiculous wall, they weren't organised at all. The ball has just gone right under them.

    Sam Cosgrove

    Brandon Haunstrup's red card was in vain, as Sam Cosgrove hammers the free-kick low under the wall and into the net with the last kick of the ball.

    As clear a red card as you'll see. Sam Cosgrove was clean through, about to pull the trigger, and Brandon Haunstrup pulls him down.

    That's what you call taking one for the team, but with Stuart Findlay injured Kilmarnock may now have a selection headache for their next game.

    Aberdeen goalkeeper Joe Lewis takes a sore one as he races out bravely to take the ball away from Rory McKenzie.

    There are four minutes added on.

    It's going to need something special from Kilmarnock. They've not been good enough on the day and if Aberdeen hold out they'll have deserved their win

    It's late pressure from Kilmarnock who have found a second wind, and it's a series of corner kicks for the hosts.

    Kirk Broadfoot heads the ball towards the back post but three Kilmarnock players are offside and Aberdeen get a respite.

    Kilmarnock 0-1 Aberdeen

    Kilmarnock's Eamonn Brophy takes a shot from outside the box and curls it just wide. Shay Logan thought he had him covered but he managed to find a small gap to take the shot on.

    Then Brophy gets down the right and wins a corner off Jonny Hayes.

    Brandon Haunstrup replaces Stuart Findlay, who is still feeling the effects of his shoulder injury.

    Kilmarnock are petering out. They had a really good spell and some good crosses, but for the last 10 minutes they've created nothing. It looks like the energy has been zapped out of them. Aberdeen should have had it dead and buried with that Sam Cosgrove chance.

    It should really be 2-0 to Aberdeen. Sam Cosgrove is sent clean through on goal but his low shot is saved. The rebound spins to Ryan Hedges who hits his shot off the legs of a defender. Two big misses for the Dons.

    The changes are only going to make it more difficult for Kilmarnock to break Aberdeen down. It looked like a back six for a moment there, so you can see what Derek McInnes' mentality is.

    Aberdeen are making a double change.

    Shay Logan and Sam Cosgrove come on, with Connor McLennan and Curtis Main making way.

    Meanwhile, Findlay is wanting to come back on, though he's still holding his shoulder and may not see out the 90 minutes.

    Aaron Tshibola has collided with his team-mate Stuart Findlay who has gone down holding his shoulder. This doesn't look good for the Kilmarnock centre-half.

  19. YELLOW CARD Aaron Tshibolapublished at 13:34 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2020

    Aaron Tshibola hauls down Aberdeen's Connor McLennan, who was attempting to break clear, and it's the first yellow card of the game.

    Another change for Kilmarnock. Danny Whitehall comes on to replace Nicke Kabamba.
