Despite there only being one shot on target so far, you can take your eyes off the action at Tynecastle.

The only real chance has come from Aberdeen's Christian Ramirez, whose finish one-on-one with Craig Gordon was saved well by the Hearts goalkeeper.

As it stands, both sides will be joining Hibs at the top of the table on seven points.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, a substitute for the injured Connor McLennan, gets away from Peter Haring with a lovely bit of skill, but the Hearts midfielder races after him and wins the ball back with a brilliant tackle.

Frantic stuff.

St Johnstone wing-back Shaun Rooney rampages into the box and fires the ball across goal, but Stevie May can't reach it with an outstretched leg.

A timely lifeline for County.

Allan McGregor superbly saves from Jordan White, but defender Harry Clarke pounces to ram home the rebound for his first goal for the club on loan from Arsenal.

Ross County 0-2 Rangers

The one-way traffic continues and Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is next to have a go, sending his snap-shot sailing over from the edge of the box.

Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo then becomes the first player booked after catching Ross Callachan late with a crunching tackle.

Much like Rangers' second goal, Connor Goldson rises to meet a corner, but this time County manage to scramble it off the line.

County's marking is questionable at best, with Goldson being given far too much freedom at these set-pieces.

St Johnstone wing-back Shaun Rooney lets fly from about 30 yards, out towards the right wing and the ball almost finds the far corner. Some effort. Very even at McDiarmid Park so far.

Marc McNulty is showing his quality in what is his first start since making his return to United. The on-loan Reading striker is bringing some real energy up top for the visitors.

Beni Baningime has looked great so far.

The Hearts midfielder turns brilliantly and plays the ball to Michael Smith, who has a cross gathered by goalkeeper Joe Lewis.

Almost a second for Joe Aribo as Rangers' relentless start continues.

The midfielder gallops forward and his goalbound shot takes a knick off Connor Randall to trickle wide.

Josh Ginnelly skips through a couple of challenges and breaks into the Aberdeen box brilliantly, but the Hearts winger is stopped by an excellent tackle.

Shouts for a penalty. No chance.

Tyncastle is on its feet in the 26th minute as every fan spins their scarf above their head in memory of former captain Marius Zaliukas.

A fitting tribute for a club legend.

Almost a bit of a freak goal as Hearts winger Josh Ginnelly whips in a ball, but it takes a nick and fires just past the near post.

The resulting corner comes to nothing.

County goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw, having put his side under pressure with a pass straight to Steven Davis, makes amends by pushing midfielder Ianis Hagi's drive past the near post.

Calvin Ramsay is enjoying himself.

The young full-back ushers Gary Mackay-Steven out of play before taking some verbals from the Hearts fans.

He gives a cheeky grin back, which gets the reaction you'd expect. Never let anyone take having fans in for granted again.
