Fabio Silva did well to prevent a goal-kick as he sprinted after the ball there. Decent pace from the big man.

Easter Road rises as the Hibs fans shout for handball.

Dylan Vente's header certainly ricocheted off Leon Balogun, but his arms weren't really out from his body. Tough to tell these days, but I think that would have been harsh.

We're needing a bit of a lift here, folks.

The ceilidh music downstairs has stopped too. This is all I've got, so let's kick it up a gear.

Fabio Silva isn't scared to run in behind, but I think he needs runners going beyond him as well.

Biggest chance of the game spurned at Easter Road.

A Hibs heads flicks on a Rangers corner backwards, and Rabbi Matondo simply has to prod it home. The winger can't connect and it's a look of frustration.

St Johnstone now appear to have settled, or are at least seeing more of the ball.

I should add that after an encouraging start, the game has got a bit scrappy.

Piledriver from Ridvan Yilmaz that flies into the Famous Five stand.

David Marshall untroubled as of yet.

Rabbi Matondo skips past Kanayo Megwa again.

You can give the Rangers winger credit, but he gives the ball straight back to Hibs for the second time in a row.

The travelling support will be after more cutting edge.

No real pattern of play as Ibrox as of yet. Both sides getting their foot on the ball and trying to pressurise the opposition.

It's going to be an interesting battle down the Rangers left between Matondo and young Megwa.

Frustrating stuff from Elie Youan.

The Frenchman's attempts at showboating backfire and his pocket is picked by Ridvan Yilmaz. Youan brings him down, and gets a booking for his troubles.

Rabbi Matondo welcoming young Kanayo Megwa to the big time.

He skips past the 18-year-old and scurries into the box. Lacking the final ball, but that's a warning shot to the Hibs right-back.

Dante Polvara stings the palms of Saints keeper Dimitar Mitov with a fierce shot from the edge of the box.

Aberdeen are dominating the game at the moment.

Hibs still determined to play out from the back. Unwavering principles of this Nick Montgomery side.

A lively start by Aberdeen, who have been playing some pretty nice stuff in the opening few minutes, particularly down the right hand side.

They have managed to get themselves into a couple of good positions already.

I thought the pass to Youan was just a bit heavy.

He couldn't get inside to hit it with his stronger right foot.

It would've taken a special effort to beat Butland from there.

Aberdeen produce a free kick move which catches St Johnstone out.

Instead of a cross, the ball is slipped to Jamie McGrath in the box, but his low pass is cut out at the near post.

Leon Balogun is down holding his shoulder after he clattered into Myziane Maolida.

The Hibs fans were after a penalty there.

Early corner for Rangers after some Fabio Silva hold-up play.

It's repelled and it sparks a searing counter for Hibs. A brilliant pass from Dylan Levitt releases Elie Youan, whose effort is off the legs of Jack Butland.

Quick start.

We're underway at Easter Road and McDiarmid Park.

Big games for all involved.
