It's all drama at Dens Park.

It feels like a long, long time since Amadou Bakayoko put the hosts in front.

The big striker was then found guilty of handballing in his own box after a VAR check. Danny Armstrong tucked away the penalty.

Josh Mulligan then saw red as the Dundee midfielder swiped at the legs of Armstrong. It's all happening.

Matty Kennedy, how have you not scored?! A deep cross to the back post finds the Northern Ireland winger and he glances his header across goal and off a post.

Inches away from putting Killie ahead for the first time in this match.

Hibs lead thanks to a smart header from Lewis Miller.

The home side have bossed possession, although they have been a bit ponderous at times.

St Johnstone have had a couple of glimpses of goal but haven't been able to test David Marshall in the home goal.

Nathaniel Aktinson is down and receiving treatment for what looks like an ankle issue.

The Australia defender looks in a fair bit of pain and Steven Naismith is readying a replacement.

Things are getting feisty here at Dens and we thought we'd be watching the dug-outs for all the action.

But the tackles are flying in and the fans are absolutely loving it.

Dundee 1-1 Kilmarnock

Oh for goodness sake. Robbie Deas has just leapt off his feet, studs first, at Jordan McGhee. It's in front of referee David Munro and this time it's... yellow.

The Dundee players aren't happy and I can see why. This is all getting a bit silly. Deas was fortunate, but it was probably short of a red.

Almost a second goal for the hosts as Martin Boyle sets off on a mazy run, speeding past a host of blue shirts.

The ball breaks to Adam Le Fondre near the edge of the box and the veteran forward cracks a fierce shot just wide.

Double wow! David Munro is called across - and the referee sticks with his on-field decision! You don't see that very often.

The Dundee bench is furious, the Kilmarnock bench is still pretty angry about the challenge.

Either way, Munro has got the midfielder walking.

Wow! Josh Mulligan takes a swipe at Danny Armstrong right in front of David Munro and he's off.

It's hard and it's naughty, but studs aren't showing. That looks very harsh.

And, right enough, the referee is over to the VAR screen.

The home side have had one goal disallowed for a high boot and a great chance squandered.

Hearts look like they're edging more into this, increasingly threatening.

Cliché time, but the next goal in this will go a long way. If there is one which looks likely right now.

St Johnstone break and Cammy MacPherson slams a shot wide from 25 yards, with goalkeeper David Marshall looking rather flat footed and then relieved.

The visitors are through again soon after and midfielder Dan Phillips should do much better than blazing the ball high and wide.

St Mirren think they have doubled their lead after the ball is bundled home from a corner, but Nick Walsh's whistle had already gone.

I think Alex Gogic is the man penalised for a high boot.

Given! David Munro points to the spot!

Kilmarnock come close to an equaliser for the first time. Another set-piece to the back-post, where Brad Lyons rises and nods at goal, but Trevor Carson makes a reflex save with his feet.

The ball is crossed back in, Robbie Deas heads at goal, it's blocked. But did it hit an arm? The referee is over to watch it on the screen. Not a good sign for Dundee.

That's an incredible miss from St Mirren's Toyosi Olusanya.

One long ball over the top gets the Buddies striker in on goal - his initial shot is saved by Zander Clark, but Greg Kiltie gets on to the loose ball and, when his shot is blocked by Frankie Kent, all Olusanya has to do is tap it in from a yard out.

Somehow he misses the ball entirely and Hearts survive.
