They're dropping like flies at Pittodrie, with Kilmarnock defender Clevid Dikamona next to go off injured.

The Frenchman looks to have damaged a hamstring in hoofing a clearance upfield and he limps off to be replaced by Zech Medley.

More misery for Hamilton as Marios Ogkmpoe goes off injured with David Moyo replacing him.

Hamilton have had no luck at all today; hitting a post a 0-0, a harsh red card to Jamie Hamilton, conceding within 60 seconds of that, and now an early injury.

A goal in each of the Scottish Premiership games within half an hour.

An exciting start and Hibernian, Aberdeen and Livingston are threatening to put some real distance between themselves and the sides below them with only a few games left until the split.

Hibs are pushing strongly for a second. Goalkeeper Ryan Fulton makes two blocks while the defence also has to stand up strong to a thumping effort from distance.

The visitors are pushing to double their advantage as two dangerous crosses in quick succession from Josh Mullin and Nicky Devlin evade everyone in the box.

That is Fraser Hornby's last involvement, with the striker off injured and Callum Hendry on in his place.

It's unclear what happened to Hornby, although he may pulled a muscle in the act of shooting.

Al flurry of chances at both ends as Aberdeen's Niall McGinn volleys over from the edge of the box then Fraser Hornby bends a shot inches past the post.

In between those efforts, a Kilmarnock corner fell to the unmarked Gary Dicker at the back post, but the midfielder fired straight at Joe Lewis.

Livingston will be thrilled to be ahead. They’re playing straight into a swirling wind making it very difficult to get up the pitch.

The goal was just bizarre. Richard Tait was unlucky to see his clearing header deflect straight off Conor McCarthy and in but there’s an argument he should have sent the ball into a less dangerous area however misfortunate.

It’s a massive boost for the visitors who face a real challenge in the first half given the conditions.

Little in the way of chances at Fir Park, but it's the visitors who are running the show so far. Motherwell have scarcely been out of their own half as St Johnstone dominate the ball and keep them hemmed in deep.

The Perth side's first effort on target comes from Ali McCann, whose floating header is straight at Liam Kelly after Shaun Rooney surged down the right and found the midfielder with a cross.

Hamilton are down to 10 men after Jamie Hamilton lunges into a challenge on Martin Boyle. He didn't seem to make a lot of contact, but the referee deems it dangerous enough to warrant a straight red.

Hamilton continue to have the better of the game at Easter Road, and Marios Ogkmpoe cracks a shot off the near post after a mix-up in the Hibs defence.

Paul Hanlon attempts to knock the ball to Josh Doig who can't control the ball, and Ogkmpoe was on to it like a flash.

St Mirren look for an immediate response as Cammy MacPherson leathers a shot from range, but Robby McCrorie is on hand to parry it away.

Scott McMann has a shot tipped wide by Hibernian goalkeeper Ofir Marciano as Hamilton threaten in the opening stages.

Livingston's first venture up the park almost ends in a goal as Josh Mullin tries to loft a shot over Jak Alnwick from an incredibly tight angle.

The ball lands on the roof of the net. Good effort.

There was a bit of a delay to kick-off at Easter Road, and it appears to be because one of the assistant referees did not make it out of the tunnel.

He belatedly emerged from the dressing room, though, and the game got started.
