Aberdeen keeper Joe Lewis has to touch an Elias Melkersen shot around the post after Hibs' Norwegian forward found a yard of space just outside the box.

Livingston manager David Martindale has certainly recovered from his bout of kidney stones. He's stalking the touchline roaring at his players and referee Willie Collum.

He's furious with his team's performance so far.

Another chance for St Mirren as Greg Kiltie spins around 20 yards out and flashes a shot wide of the left-hand post.

St Johnstone are doing okay but you can see why they've scored just 22 times in 35 games so far. Everything is breaking down in the final third.

Utterly inexplicable is the best way to describe Charlie Adam’s decision to play the ball into danger and straight to Alex Greive for the opening goal in Paisley.

Dundee started fairly brightly but Adam gained possession on his own byeline and could have cleared. Instead, with St Mirren pressing, he clipped the ball across the face of goal and that led to disaster for Dundee with Grieve showing composure to finish.

For someone of that experience in the circumstance Dundee face, it is again, utterly inexplicable.

A wonderful save from Harry Sharp keeps Dundee only the one goal down in Paisley.

Alex Gogic lifted a cross into the box and Curtis Main's header looked in all the way until the goalkeeper got a vital touch.

After the early drama of the indirect free-kick inside the box, there's been precious little goalmouth action.

Hibs skipper Paul Hanlon gets up for header at the back post from a corner kick but cannot direct his effort on target.

The zip has gone out of Dundee's play following that opening goal from Alex Greive.

The visitors had started brightly in Paisley and looked more than up for this contest. Can the bottom club find a way back in Paisley?

Ross County continue to threaten.

Alex Iacovitti gets on the end of a free-kick but can only send a header sailing over the crossbar.

Moments earlier, David Cancola sent a shot from the edge of the area over the top as well.

It's all Ross County so far with Jake Vokins' 20-yard strike testing Liam Kelly.

Regan Charles-Cook went close just before that but his shot was ultimately blocked.

Ryan Porteous hammers the indirect free-kick at goal from around the edge of the six-yard box but Aberdeen defender Declan Gallagher races out and is about a metre from the ball when it's struck and the ball flies over.

Why do they always go for the big blast on these occasions? It never works does it?

Hibernian have an indirect free-kick deep inside the box after after Joe Lewis picks the ball up from a pass-back.

A big chance to take an early lead.

Joel Nouble almost punishes St Johnstone for that miss a moment ago.

The ball breaks to him in the box but just as he pulls the trigger a defender gets a leg in to make a good tackle.

St Johnstone should be 1-0 up already!

Within a minute Stevie May robs Ayo Obileye, and sets up a cross for Callum Hendry who side-foots over the bar from about eight yards.

And away we go.
