He has to hit the target.

Especially from a goalkeeper's point of view, there were so many bodies in the way it would have been difficult to deal with.

That was a big chance for Kilmarnock.

Not a million miles away.

The ball breaks kindly at the edge of the box for Matty Kennedy, who smashes a half-volley narrowly over.

He'll be disappointed he didn't make the keeper work.

Hmm, a replay of that incident shows Findlay knocking the ball back to Will Dennis before he picks it up.

If that was given as an indirect free-kick, I don't think there would've been many complaints.

Superb defending, Stuart Findlay.

Duk looks like he's got a yard on the Killie defender, who shows strength and recovery pace to usher the ball to his keeper.

This has many of the elements of a good old rugby match. Perhaps they were watching the World Cup final last night.

Kicks straight into touch, players wrestling for possession and all very stop, start.

We need a big uplift in quality to get this going. Kilmarnock are starting to do that with David Watson's chance a great move.

They're showing more intent to get forward.

The resulting corner comes in and finds Joe Wright just a couple of yards out.

His header under pressure flies way over. A tough one despite it being close range.

What a block that is.

David Watson is found free in the box, takes a touch, then smashes towards goal.

He's thwarted by a sliding Richard Jensen though.

It has been a really scrappy affair, giving possession away too easily.

The players are really struggling to get the ball under control.

Another Connor Barron free-kick, this time from the right.

This one beats the first man but again comes to nothing as Richard Jensen completely misses the ball with a swipe towards goal.

Early doors in this game, but both teams are being a little bit sloppy in possession.

Connor Barron nicks the ball away from Matty Kennedy but takes a clattering in the process.

A foul but no card.

Nicky Devlin absolutely leathers one from the right of the box but finds a Kilmarnock body.

That would've been a sore one.

First shot on target comes from Matty Kennedy.

Kyle Vassell holds the ball up on the edge of the box, laying off the ex-Dons winger.

But his effort is straight into the arms of Kelle Roos.

Now Aberdeen have a chance to put the ball in the Killie box as young David Watson barges into Graeme Shinnie wide on the left.

Again, the ball doesn't beat the first man.

I like the look of this Kilmarnock side.

You have got two big physical strikers up top, it is a real show of intent from Derek McInnes today.

Early Kilmarnock corner, which Danny Armstrong fizzes towards the near post.

Doesn't beat the first man though and the winger's follow-up cross is out of play.

After a minute's applause for former Kilmarnock director Laurel Chadwick, who recently passed away, we're under way at Rugby Park.

The players have just emerged from the Rugby Park tunnel.

Weather certainly looks a bit better in Ayshire.

Kilmarnock have posted a social media update from Derek McInnes on Corrie Ndaba.

“Hopefully it’s nothing too serious and he’ll be back with us in the next couple of games,” the manager says.

The wing-back is out with an Achilles injury.

Aberdeen's recent record against Kilmarnock is pretty ridiculous.

Although the Ayrshire men won their last home league game against the Dons in December of last season, that ended a 16-match winless run in the fixture at Rugby Park.

In fact, Aberdeen have only lost two of their last 31 top-flight league meetings with Killie.
