Neat football from Hibs, as Owen Elding slips in Callum Wright.

His cross is turned behind by Aberdeen defender Mats Knoester.

Wright has probably been Hibs' best player, which is a credit to the midfielder given he was meant to be on the bench.

Jamie McGrath's injury has given him a chance.

Another Hibs move ends with Josh Mulligan side-footing over.

Simo Valakari is forced into a decision with that red card.

Daniel Finlayson comes on to fill the gap in defence. Midfielder Josh Campbell is the player withdrawn.

Some lovely football from United.

Zidane Iqbal wins the ball back in the middle of the park and the visitors charge up towards the St Mirren goal, where Dylan Tait forces a good stop from goalkeeper Jacob Chapman.

Cheick Diabate is shown a second yellow card midway inside the St Johnstone half.

The defender was already on thin ice and he loses his man and tries to recover with a pull. The referee is straight into his pocket to show the yellow, then the red.

St Johnstone reduced to 10 men.

St Mirren need to get the next goal or this place could be empty.

Dundee United look comfortable on the ball. Well organised.

Daniel Bennie chips the ball to the back post for Idjessi Metsoko, the United man gets a head to it, but it's a comfortable catch for goalkeeper Jacob Chapman.

Now Toyosi Olusanya sticks it in the bottom corner - but the Aberdeen forward is offside!

He did look off and VAR swiftly confirms the on-field decision.

Some sloppy Dundee play gifted the ball to Tawanda Maswanhise, but the forward fluffed his lines.

The Maswanhise of last season might well have made a whole lot more of that opportunity.

Hibs have started brightly, but Aberdeen launch a swift counter.

Toyosi Olusanya surges into the box and he's outside the post when he takes a shot.

It goes right across goal, though.

St Mirren win a free-kick in line with the edge of the United box.

Killian Phillips gets a head to it and it's sent behind for a Buddies corner that is also dealt with by the visitors.

A half-time change for the Buddies.

Forward Jake Young is on, with midfielder Fraser Taylor making way.

We're getting back under way around the country.

Normally when a manager gets the sack, there is some sort of response from the players, but this has been almost a carbon copy of Hibs' defeat against Kilmarnock in midweek.

Midfielders wasteful with the ball when in good positions while Aberdeen on the other hand look confident going forward with each player individually knowing exactly the job they have to do.

Wouldn’t be too surprised if Nicky Cadden gets introduced by John Potter early in the second period. Could go up against his twin brother on their 30th birthday!

It hasn't inspired much goalmouth action.

They've been excellent, United.

St Mirren? Not enough in the final third.
