Stuart McKinstry is at it again on the left-hand side for Motherwell. This time the wide man fires towards the near post and goalkeeper Ross Laidlaw gets a strong hand behind the shot.

What a hit.

The ball drops to Kyle Magennis 25 yards out and the Hibs midfielder thumps it against the crossbar.

From the replay, it looks like United goalkeeper Mark Birighitti has got a touch on that. Great stop.

The weather here at Fir Park is absolutely atrocious.

Swirling rain and wind means the players have a real battle on their hands with the conditions.

Keeping the ball on the deck might just be the answer.

Motherwell go close to the opener. Winger Stuart McKinstry receives the ball on the left, cuts inside and his fierce shots smacks off the far post and out.

Some early County pressure ends with midfielder Ross Callachan volleying well off target. The visitors look hungry though.

Hibs almost shoot themselves in the foot at Easter Road. Ryan Porteous passes straight to Steven Fletcher, who tees up Arnaud Djoum.

The midfielder has a shot, but it's saved by goalkeeper David Marshall.

Referees' whistles are going around the country.

Stay with us for the action and goal updates from around the divisions.

St Johnstone ended Livingston's three-game unbeaten run at McDiarmid Park with a 1-0 victory in April.

But Callum Davidson's hosts are reeling from four straight defeats while Livingston, who got the better of Saints 1-0 in their most recent meeting in West Lothian in October, have only been beaten twice in eight outings.

Livingston have travelled the 50 miles north this time four points ahead of their hosts with a game in hand and knowing that a win over St Johnstone would take them above Hampden-bound Aberdeen and into fourth place in the Premiership.

This could be a key day in County's bid to avoid relegation.

Lose at Fir Park and they will fall six points behind hosts Motherwell - and potentially six adrift of Dundee United if the Tannadice side win away to Hibs.

A commendable point away to Aberdeen on their last away day was somewhat spoiled by last weekend's home loss to Livingston, leaving County without a win in six and having lost the other five.

Indeed, County have failed to score in their latest four outings and were handed their heaviest spanking of the season when they last met today's opponents in October - losing 5-0 in Dingwall.

However, they will have headed south knowing they can win at Fir Park given their 1-0 success on their last visit there in March.

Although both Hibs and United have conceded the joint-highest number of goals - 35 - in the Premiership this season, only Rangers and Celtic have kept more clean sheets than either side's six.

Which versions of themselves will predominate today?

It all points to a fairly low-scoring game at McDiarmid Park.

No side's home games has featured fewer goals scored in the Premiership this season than St Johnstone's 20.

Saints have scored just 10 and conceded 10 in 10 matches in Perth this term, while Livingston's two goals in winning away to Ross County last weekend was the first time they had scored more than once in seven outings.

Well are without a win in seven outings and have not won on home soil in their last eight games, losing six of them, as they have been dragged firmly into the relegation zone.

They will hope Kevin van Veen again proves to be County's downfall, the Dutch striker having scored four goals in their latest two meetings - firing a hat-trick in Dingwall in October.

Van Veen endured an eight-game scoring drought immediately after that but has scored twice in his last four outings.
