A long throw into the Rangers penalty box causes problems.

It falls to Danny Armstrong just outside the penalty box, but the winger's powerful volley is well over the crossbar.

It's been a decent start for Kilmarnock, but they've sat a bit too deep.

They'll be looking to hit Rangers on the counter attack.

Rangers have plenty of height up front this season and are not afraid to pump it out of defence in their direction.

There's plenty of biting challenges from both sides as they battle for ascendency, but there's no threat to either goalkeeper so far.

Kilmarnock win another corner. Rangers are not getting it all their own way at Rugby Park.

Abdallah Sima, the striker on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, tries a clever back-heel, mid-air flick.

It looks like he is attempting to catch goalkeeper Will Dennis off guard, but the on-loan Bournemouth man makes a simple catch.

Kilmarnock made a lively start, forcing an early corner.

However, Rangers appear to have settled and are pinging the ball about the artificial surface.

Kilmarnock get the game going in their traditional blue and white stripes.

Rangers in their orange and blue change gear.

Who will earn their stripes today?

Much has been made of Rangers fielding seven new signings, but Kilmarnock have eight new arrivals in theirs.

The difference is that the home side have had four competitive fixtures in the Viaplay Cup to bed them in while the Glasgow side have been playing friendlies because of their Champions League qualification.

Will that extra competitive fitness make a difference, or will the extra class of Rangers, like Celtic earlier against Ross County, tip the balance for the Ibrox men?

Thumbs up below for a Killie win, thumbs down for a Rangers victory.

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Sportsound: "The fact that we've played competitive games has helped us. The demand has changed for us as a team this season.

"It's important we try to demonstrate that there's been an improvement. Our home form was really good last season - we beat every team apart from the Old Firm.

"Today gives us an opportunity to do that."

Rangers manager Michael Beale tells BBC Sportsound: "It's an exciting time. It's been a long summer, so I'm delighted we're here.

"It was a difficult team to pick. The balance in the midfield is really good. The game will open up as it goes along. There will be subtle changes each game because we have options this season."

Beale confirms Rangers fans will get to see new duo Danilo and Jose Cifuentes, who are both on the bench, in action at some point this evening.

It took around 75 minutes but the game finally sparked into life.

Yutaro Oda's strike was of the highest standard as he spun and fired it onto the bottom corner beyond the impressive Dimitar Mitov in the Saints' goal.

St Johnstone's late push to find an equaliser left them exposed in their own half as Alex Lowry's lofted pass sent Liam Boyce and Lawrence Shankland free. Boyce then squared it to Shankland and he tapped it into an empty net.

The hosts had flurries throughout the game of chances but failed to find a clinical touch in front of goal.

With all this extra stoppage time being played, we're at 5pm and there's still games yet to finish.

Kilmarnock v Rangers to come shortly...

Well, thank goodness that one is over.

Hopefully we won't have to endure many more games as dull as that this season... Aberdeen did not have a single shot on target.

Michael Devlin whizzed an effort wide while Ayo Obileye's header was never troubling Kelle Roos.

Over 4000 Aberdeen fans travelled down for this one... Bojan Miovski tried to earn a penalty in front of them, but referee John Beaton was not for having it. .

On a not-so-nice note, Bruce Anderson departed on a stretcher due to a bleeding head after a collision with Slobodan Rubezic.

Hearts come close to doubling their advantage with Liam Boyce gathering the ball and driving to the left-hand side of the box.

The striker's left-footed strike is palmed away by Dimitar Midov, who is having a solid afternoon in goal despite conceding.

He then makes another smart save from a fizzing Frankie Kent strike inside the area.

Despite the torrid conditions at Dens Park, these sides were desperate to put on a good game of football and, crucially, win.

Theo Bair broke the deadlock on the brink of half-time, connecting to Stephen O'Donnell's cross to score on his debut - a moment now immortalised thanks to Stephen Craigan on Sportsound, screaming 'Feed the Bair, Kenny!'

Tony Docherty's side hit back in the second-half, with Luke McCowan terrorising the right-hand side. It was he who set up the goal, crossing to Lyall Cameron at the back post where the wee winger headed home.

The Dee would hit the woodwork twice as Liam Kelly looked on, with Well going close thanks to Lennon Miller's driven effort.

It's very tense at Dens Park, with both sides determined to find a winner. Joe Efford is coming on for Well goalscorer Theo Bair.

It's been mostly Motherwell in the last 10 minutes. Callum Slattery lays the ball off to Lennon Miller and the teenage midfielder's driven effort is deflected wide from the head of centre-half Joe Shaughnessy. It whistles just wide!
