Jordan Obita goes for a goal inside the box, but the Hibs defender's effort hits the side netting.

The visitors have been in control so far.

Not the prettiest goal for Aberdeen, but on the run they have been on they won't care about that.

Another terrific ball into the box by Lyall Cameron - that is something that has been missing from the Dons all season.

It looks like the on-loan Rangers midfielder will be the solution to that particular problem.

Liam Polworth's big toe must be just offside and the goal is chalked off.

Motherwell's impeccable defensive record at Fir Park in recent weeks stays intact.

A promising ball floated in by Jordan Obita, but Hibs winger Martin Boyle can't direct his header on target.

It's been all Motherwell since that early Kilmarnock chance, but the home side are yet to carve out a clear-cut chance.

A big opportunity for both sides.

Falkirk can close to within two points of their opponents reeling in a team above to further enhance their excellent season.

Hibs can create an eight-point cushion over Falkirk, who occupy sixth place. The visitors are depleted through injury and illness but seek a bounce after their Scottish Cup exit.

There's a possible penalty check here at Pittodrie. Topi Keskinen fired a shot at goal, which deflected over the bar off Joshua Brenet.

There is a suggestion of handball against the Livi defender.

And, after a delay, we play on.

Decent chance for Aberdeen as Joshua Brenet trips Topi Keskinen on the left of the penalty box after the Fin ghosts past him.

Lenient from referee Ross Hardie, who lets the Curucao international away without a booking.

Lyall Cameron stands over it, in dreadful conditions, and the midfielder whips it just wide.

Despite the dire weather, there is a big crowd at Pittodrie, with the fans taking advantage of a - ticket for a tenner - initiative.

A big chance for embattled Killie to take an early lead.

Motherwell fail to deal with a ball into the penalty box and it drops for Tyreece John-Jules, but the striker shoots just wide.

The weather in Aberdeen today is horrendous. A howling wind, swirling rain - lousy.

The pitch looks okay, but I am told it is very soft underfoot.

Those aren't the ingredients that go towards a great game of football - but, ever the optimist, I live in hope.

We're getting under way around the country.

They're certainly off swiftly at Fir Park. No hanging about in the cold, wind and rain.

Manager David Martindale has been telling me prior to this game that striker Tete Yengi looks set for a loan move to the J League.

He says it should secure Livingston a six-figure loan fee.

Jens Berthel Askou has quickly gone from unknown quantity to being labelled Scottish football's tactical genius in the seven months since he was appointed Motherwell manager.

So much so that the 43-year-old Dane has been linked with the vacancy at Premiership rivals Aberdeen and even with the Celtic hotseat once Martin O'Neill's latest interim spell in charge ends this summer.

The Scottish champions' fans might demand a more high-profile name, while Askou himself might not consider a move to the Dons a step up given his side are currently fourth in table and have left their richer rivals four places and 12 points in their wake.

However, you can be sure his progress since leaving his post as Copenhagen assistant after only six months is making other clubs take notice.
