All the credit goes to Hibs teenager Josh Doig.

The full-back hassles and harries his opposite number Nicky Devlin before stealing the ball off him on the byline.

It's squared to Christian Doidge, who sneaks a shot past Robby McRorie for his first goal in 16 games.

Joe Lewis' distribution has largely been spot on all afternoon but the Aberdeen goalie has a nightmare moment as he passes straight to Callum Butcher who feeds Lawrence Shankland.

The Scotland striker composes himself before attempting a delightful little dink which is stopped on the line by Ash Taylor.

The sandy, bobbly pitch doesn't look conducive to nice football, but credit to both sets of players who are serving up an entertaining encounter. Some really nice play, the Dons with the best chances, but United enjoying a fair bit of decent possession. The only thing lacking is a goal, but if it carries on like this hopefully it wont be long before one of the nets is rippling.

Great forward play and great goalkeeping - it's a shame there are no fans at Rugby Park to see this game.

Jordan Roberts hooks a cross from the left to the far post and Devante Cole is only denied a goal by Colin Doyle's superb save.

Hibs almost respond immediately. Jackson Irvine working the ball to Joe Newell in the box.

On his favoured left foot the midfielder should do better but he fires tamely straight at Robby McRorie.

Moments after Jordan Roberts has an effort touched out by Kilmarnock goalkeeper Colin Doyle, Kyle Lafferty tries another audacious effort at the other end but it is deflected away.

Scotland right-back Stephen O'Donnell goes down in the Kilmarnock box under the challenge of Brandon Haunstrup but referee Alan Muir is unmoved by the visitors' cries for a spot-kick.

Sportsound's VAR man today John Collins says it's "50-50, some you get, some you don't".

Aberdeen's Jonny Hayes breaks down the left and has a drive at goal but the deflected strike goes narrowly past Benjamin Siegrist's near post.

St Johnstone's Ali McCann has a shot tipped round the post by Ross Laidlaw as the home side keep up the pressure.

A series of corners causes havoc in the County box but the visitors eventually clear their lines.

Livingston are building up a head of steam as Ofir Marciano is tested again in the Hibs goal.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas does well to hold the ball up before playing in Craig Sibbald who unleashes a thunderous strike on his left foot but it's well kept out by Marciano.

Neat link-up play between Leandro Fuchs and Marc McNulty and the Cameroon midfielder is in on goal, but the United man is under pressure when it comes to adding the finish and lashes over.

It's been a blistering start to the match at Rugby Park with Kyle Lafferty's first-minute strike catching out Motherwell goalkeeper Liam Kelly only for Barry Maguire to cancel out Kilmarnock's lead.

Not much to shout about so far, with both teams feeling each other out.

Livi with the best bit of play so far which results in Craig Sibbald firing in a shot from the edge of the box but it's straight at Ofir Marciano.

St Johnstone striker Chris Kane has one of those moments where you just want the ground to swallow you up.

He reaches a through ball, attempts a shot at goal, hits fresh air and falls on his face.

Saints are well on top.

It has been top-six chasing St Mirren doing most of the pressing in Hamilton and Richard Tait rises well to meet a corner, but his header across the face of goal misses the far post.

It's been a real rip-roaring opening at Rugby Park.

Kilmarnock try to get back in front with Brandon Haunstrup's shot from the left that clips the outside of the goal frame.
