A bit better from the hosts, but this game has been pretty dull.

Michael O'Halloran finds some space in the box but can't direct his header from Craig Conway's cross on target.

So many times this season Motherwell have struggled to get themselves back into games while behind, and tonight's contest in Dingwall is following the same pattern as Graham Alexander's men just can't get going.

Will the visitors spark into life in the Highlands?

Aberdeen defender Andrew Considine earns a caution, and his name in referee Don Robertson's black book, for a foul on Shaun Rooney.

An incredible miss from Dillon Powers. Mark Connolly chest down a free-kick into the path of the American, whose powerful strike is brilliantly saved by Jak Alnwick.

Powers then somehow turns the rebound over the bar from about seven yards.

First real chance of the match as Aberdeen striker Sam Cosgrove rises high to meet Matty Kennedy's cross but heads it straight at Zander Clark. He maybe should've done better.

Chance for County to double their advantage as Jason Naismith's cross from the right finds Jermaine Hylton in the middle, but the former Motherwell man fails to fire a volley on target.

Aberdeen are very much in charge in Perth. The Dons are dominant in possession and starting to carry a threat, particularly down the left hand side. However, it has to be said, neither side have carved out any sort of scoring opportunity.

Ross County manager John Hughes wanted a response from his players following the heavy defeat by Rangers last weekend.

Oli Shaw has answered the call, firing the hosts in front against Motherwell.

Neat build-up from Motherwell on the edge of the area results in Tony Watt poking the ball through to Devante Cole.

The forward does well to get the ball out his feet but he's smothered well by Ross Laidlaw.

A setback for Aberdeen with Tommie Hoban having to be replaced after a head knock. He has been Mr Reliable for the Dons at the back in recent times.

No real surprise as Tommie Hoban is taken off after that nasty collision with Ross McCrorie. He's been replaced by Dean Campbell, with McCrorie dropping into defence for the Dons.

St Mirren are appealing for a spot-kick, as Richard Tait's header appears to come off the arm of Dillon Powers. The American midfielder didn't appear to know much about that, but with the new rule it could've been given.

After a positive start from the visitors it's the hosts who see the first real sight of goal as Regan Charles-Cook cuts the ball back on the edge of the area to Iain Vigurs, but the midfielder's strike sails high over the bar.

Eamonn Brophy is gifted a decent sight at goal by a wayward United pass, but the striker drags his 20-yard shot well wide.

He's yet to get off the mark for the Buddies since joining from Kilmarnock.

St Johnstone 0-0 Aberdeen

An early concern for Aberdeen as two of their players collide while going for a header. Ross McCrorie is up and back on his feet but Tommie Hoban is still receiving medical attention.

We're still waiting for the first meaningful action in front of goal in the three 18:00 kick-offs.

Three of tonight's six Premiership games are up and running.

Goals please, and plenty of them!

Funso Ojo is not in the Aberdeen squad tonight, amid reports he is set to sign for Wigan Athletic.

Aberdeen beat off competition from Hibernian to sign the Belgian midfielder in the summer of 2019, but he's been a back-up to Ross McCrorie and Lewis Ferguson this season.
