"It's got to be better," says Kris Boyd as another aimless ball is lumped forward by Aberdeen.
It's not been good at all from the Dons.

Couple of Killie changes to run down the clock as we head towards the 90.
Off go Danny Armstrong and Matty Kennedy, with Andy Dallas and Tom Davies coming on.

Kyle Vassell has been absolutely superb again.
The Killie captain shows great feet to win a foul in his own half.
Huge ovation from the home crowd.

St Johnstone have "parted company" with manager Steven MacLean.
We'll have more on that at full time.
🚨 Aberdeen have shot on targetpublished at 13:47 Greenwich Mean Time 29 October 2023
Kilmarnock 2-0 Aberdeen
After 83 minutes, Aberdeen have FINALLY worked Will Dennis.
He isn't worked very hard though as Bojan Miovski's header is easy enough to claim.

Up the other end, Matty Kennedy tries his luck.
Dons keeper Kelle Roos claims it well down to his left.

Dons midfielder Dante Polvara has an effort blocked then gives away a foul on Matty Kennedy after trying to pick up the rebound.
He's fuming.

Duk gets a bit of space to race forward and pick out a pass.
But he picks out absolutely no-one and his ball is straight out of play.

Richard Jensen attempts a long throw, but it's cleared back to him.
The less said about his cross, the better.

Willie Miller
Former Aberdeen captain on BBC SportsoundThere is no real purpose to Aberdeen's game, no identity in their play.
Now it is about trying to get as many bodies forward as they can.

Could've gone anywhere.
A Killie corner hits a head then Stuart Findlay sweeps the ball over.
Foul is given against the hosts anyway.
'Killie will be wary'published at 13:35 Greenwich Mean Time 29 October 2023

Cammy Bell
Former Kilmarnock goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundI think Kilmarnock will be wary because they have conceded late goals this season.
They will not want to gift Aberdeen any opportunities to give them a sniff and that will play on the mind of the players.
They won't want to put themselves under pressure like that.

BBC Sport Scotland at Rugby ParkKilmarnock have been excellent, playing to their strengths and creating all sorts of opportunities. They have capitalised and it is thoroughly deserved.
Barry Robson said pre-match his team will be alright, but they have really, really struggled. A lot of questions to be answered.

Another Dons change.
Ester Sokler is on for Jamie McGrath.
An attacking switch.

A hopeful lob into the Killie box is claimed by Will Dennis, who is under no pressure.
The story of Aberdeen's afternoon. No imagination.

They've been fantastic this second half.

Cammy Bell
Former Kilmarnock goalkeeper on BBC SportsoundNothing more than Kilmarnock deserve.
It has been sustained pressure for the second half and it is an absolute horror show for Aberdeen at the back.
This game should be over.

GOAL! Kilmarnock 2-0 Aberdeenpublished at 13:27 Greenwich Mean Time 29 October 2023
Marley Watkins
Dearie me.
Stefan Gartenmann takes an absolute age on the ball - you can't do that when Marley Watkins is about.
The ex-Dons striker blocks the defender's clearance and is clean through to finish past Kelle Roos.
A nightmare for Aberdeen.
