Hibs fans have travelled in strong numbers for this one. There's not been too much for them to cheer as yet, with both sides just settling in, although the home side are enjoying the better of the early possession.

The battle between the Motherwell Bois and the Hibs Ultras could be worth watching... Both making plenty of noise.

Kilmarnock are peppering St Johnstone's box with crosses at the moment.

One such effort culminates in a great strike from Danny Armstrong, who fizzes a powerful volley over Dimitar Mitov's goal after meeting Liam Donnelly's deep delivery on the edge of the area.

It's exactly the kind of start you'd expect from two sides who have to win this afternoon - frantic.

Motherwell have a free-kick inside the Hibs half but can't make anything of it.

It's all Livingston so far at Tynecastle. They've not tested Craig Gordon, but the league's bottom side have Hearts pinned in their own half.

Kyle Vassell misses a sitter early on for the visitors.

The Killie captain completely scuffs a shot after meeting a low Marley Watkins cross in the mixer.

Celtic 0-0 St Mirren

Maik Nawrocki is making a rare start for Celtic and the centre-half looks a tad rusty as he makes an immediate impact with a crunching high-ball challenge on Toyosi Olusanya that leaves the St Mirren striker needing treatment for a head knock.

A few minutes in and Antonio Portales is into the book as Duk flies into the Dundee half, flicks it past the defender and throws himself over the Mexican's leg.

Referee Nick Walsh flashes the yellow nice and early. A real long tightrope...

For a moment it looked like Hibs were lining up in Hearts strips!

But, on closer inspection, the visitors are pairing their purple away shirts with white shorts.

And we're up and running...

St Johnstone manager Craig Levein tells BBC Scotland: "We kept the team the same. There were one or two things I was considering. I didn't really want to tinker with anything.

"We've been a wee bit inconsistent since the winter break, but I'm hoping that's us settled back down again and hopefully we can continue to get better.

"Kilmarnock know what they are doing. Del's always got his teams well organised and difficult to play against. They've got good guys on the sides of the pitch, Armstrong and Kennedy, and strong strikers.

"It's a home game for us. The onus is on us to take the game to Kilmarnock, but I think they'll do that as well, so I could see it being open."

Hearts manager Steven Naismith was asked about making six changes and whether it's to rest players for next week's Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers.

"None of it is to do with next week," he told BBC Scotland.

"We've had a couple of players who haven't trained all week. And the type of game that's ahead, that's why we've made the changes.

"I think it could be a stuffy game. It's up to us to drive the tempo and speed of the game and the players we've got on the pitch can do that.

"Zander [Clark] has trained all week. But we've got the semi-final coming up next week and Craig [Gordon] will play. So we feel it's beneficial for Craig to get a couple of games in."

Livingston manager David Martindale tells BBC Scotland: "We'll have a wee go and see where it takes us. Last time we came we sat pretty deep and controlled very little and created very little.

"We need to come up with a different game plan. When Hearts came to Livingston it was a much more even game and we were unlucky not to take something.

"So we need to come up with a hybrid to try to take something. When you look at where we are in the league, there's no point coming here for a 0-0."

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "It's tough on Robbie (Deas). He's victim to a change of shape for us; we've been traditionally 4-4-2. St Johnstone recently have been more of a diamond in midfield, so we just couldn't get overrun through the middle of the pitch. David (Watson) himself has been a little bit unlucky to be out of the team. The strength of the squad has gave me a lot of headaches at times this season.

"I don't think (a win) guarantees us fourth but it would be a huge step towards qualifying for Europe. We can't be too hung up on other teams results and we don't want to be. When you start relying on other teams doing you favours, you take your eye off the ball. It's important we deliver a performance to get three points.

"I said to the players that once we arrived in the top six it is important that we acted and performed like a top six team, and carried ourselves like a top six team. With top six secure, it's about what comes next. To bring and deliver European football would be brilliant."

Stephen Robinson has urged his St Mirren players to "not waste this opportunity" to win a European place after clinching a spot in the top six.

"We sit in a potential European position depending on what happens with the cup, but we can't rely on anyone," the manager tells BBC Scotland.

"Our aim to get more points than last season after the split, which was two points, so there's a lot still to play for."

Explaining his decision to drop top scorer Mikael Mandron to the bench, Robinson adds: "I think it's the first time I've not played with two strikers at Celtic Park. It gives us more numbers in midfield

"Anytime we have got close to Celtic, we've contained them in the opening 20 minutes of the game. And we have to be on top of our game on the ball. We've got nothing to lose."

Hibs manager Nick Montgomery tells BBC Scotland: "We know that last weekend's result let everybody down but the good thing about football is that we've got another opportunity today.

"We know we've got to win the game, that doesn't change. We shouldn't be talking this time of year about games being called off so hopefully it's something the league can learn from and make sure it's not the case in the future.

"The only scenario we have today is that we need to get the three points, we need to win the game, we've prepared and we'll go out and give everything we can to win the game."

Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell tells BBC Scotland: "We know what our task it, it is really simple. The only chance we've got of trying to get top six is to win today, nothing else is good enough and even that might not be good enough.

"We're by far the least of the favourites to get there but we're still in with a chance. I've seen so much character out of my squad that of course we have got a chance.

"We always come with a purpose to try and win and that is the mindset today.

"I spoke to Nick [Montgomery] and we're almost laughing at each other because we know what we've both come here for today, to get the result what we want.

"But it might not be enough for them and it might not be enough for us."
