    Jonny Hayes

    Just the start to the second half Aberdeen were after and just what Raith Rovers were eager to avoid.

    Jonny Hayes goes through one-on-one with goalkeeper Robbie Thomson and finishes well.

    Bojan Miovski was in an offside position but purposefully did not interfere with play, if that makes sense.
