Hearts are down to 10 men as defender Taylor Moore receives a second yellow card following a clumsy challenge.

The second half has been far better fair than the first, but unfortunately for Hearts that's meant more chances for the home side.

Midfielder Callum Slattery eyes up a chance but can't keep his shot down as Motherwell search for a second goal.

We now have confirmation that Aberdeen manager Stephen Glass was sent off at half-time for comments made to referee Bobby Madden.

Big chance for Aberdeen.

Jonny Hayes digs out a superb cutback down the left and midfielder Ryan Hedges, waiting at the front post, swings a leg at it and sends the ball sailing over the bar.

Big chance for Hearts, their best of the game so far. Ben Woodburn finds space, but the striker lashes the ball straight into the hands of goalkeeper Liam Kelly.

Manager Robbie Neilson is clearly unimpressed and, moments later, the on-loan Liverpool man is hauled off early.

Cristian Montano gets his head to an Odin Bailey free-kick and the winger must think he's scored, but St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick saves it on the bounce to keep the game goalless.

United goalkeeper Benji Siegrist is quick off his line to punch clear and prevent Christian Ramirez connecting with Scott Brown's delivery into the box.

Aberdeen boss Stephen Glass is nowhere to be seen in the away dugout - was he dismissed at half-time for taking his complaints about Funso Ojo's red card too far?

Motherwell 1-0 Heart of Midlothian

Motherwell start the second half on the front foot and Hearts need Stephen Kingsley to cut out a fine cross into the box.

However, Hearts now have an issue with both winger Josh Ginnelly and Scotland centre-half John Souttar injured defending a corner. Motherwell central defender Bevis Mugabi has also taken a sore one, colliding with a post.

Aberdeen full-back Jack MacKenzie doesn't reappear for the second half after his head knock in the first period.

Jonny Hayes is on in his place.

The talk at half-time on Sportsound was the sending off of Aberdeen's Funso Ojo.

The midfielder's momentum took him close to the barrier, where he was pushed in the chest by a fan.

He exchanges words with the supporter and is then shown a second yellow card by referee Bobby Madden.

We are back under way.

Who will win the battle of the 10 men at Tannadice, are Hearts going to blow their chance to go second at Fir Park and will we see any goal action in Paisley?

No goals, but two red cards after a dramatic end to the first half that saw both sides reduced to 10 men.

United's Calum Butcher was dismissed for striking Christian Ramirez off the ball.

Funso Ojo followed in incredible scenes after being pushed by a United fan in the stands. Ojo didn't seem to do much wrong but was given a second yellow, prompting fury from Aberdeen.

A tasty second half awaits...
