First moment of action for Ross Sinclair, who palms away a slow curling effort from Joel Nouble.

From the resulting corner, it's Brooklyn Kabongolo who rises high and nods at goal, but Sinclair is behind it again.

That'll settle him, you'd think.

Reminder: Relegation for Livingston will only be confirmed if Killie better their result at St Mirren.

So, as it stands, Livi are still alive. Just.

Up until recently Aberdeen had been guilty of starting games really slowly, it has been one of their many problems this season.

They started very well against Hibs last time out, and have done so again against Kilmarnock today.

Being fast out of the blocks is clearly something Stephen Robinson has been impressing on his Dons players since he arrived in the Granite City.

Opta put that goal as 51 seconds in. Kilmarnock conceded after 13 seconds against Hibernian a few weeks ago.

In fact, in their past three away games they have conceded in the opening minute. Away to Falkirk as well they were down after 37 seconds.

Not good.

What a start from the Dons.

Aremu showing a lot of composure there. It took a deflection, but it was on target.

Stuart Armstrong, what an intelligent player, he sees the opportunity and it's a perfectly-weighted pass.

Away we go at Pittodrie.

Kick-off in Paisley will soon follow.

Livingston manager Marvin Bartley tells BBC Scotland: "It's felt like [win or bust] for a long time. We'll deal with the game, we didn't have a game last week so the boys are well prepared. We should be fresh and have high energy.

"I'm comfortable with where I am, I've had a couple of conversations and what will be will be. If it's for the next five games, the next game, the next five years, I'll always give 100%.

"Whatever happens over summer will happen."

St Mirren interim manager Craig McLeish tells BBC Scotland about back-up goalkeeper Ryan Mullen, who came off injured in last week's semi-final at Hampden: "We had to make sure Ryan had the support he needed. I spoke to him the day after the game to make sure he was OK.

"We got the results of the scan, and it was a lot more serious - as bad as it could have been. He went to a specialist and it was decided he needed surgery.

"We spoke to some different clubs about emergency loans and managed to get Ross Sinclair in. Gus MacPherson was brilliant with us and I'd like to thank him.

"We spoke to Grant [Tamosevicius] as well, I've got no hesitation in him playing. We just felt with the situation we're in, we have to protect him as well."

"Pride of the north", says an enormous banner being unfurled at Pittodrie in the home end.

With the teams set to emerge in Aberdeen and Paisley, let's get a reminder of the teams...

St Mirren chief operating officer Keith Lasley has been on Sportsound as the chat turns once again to VAR.

"From the meetings I've been to, all of the clubs are together in wanting to try and improve it," he says.

"VAR often takes over the conversation when we should be talking about the recruitment and retention of better referees."

After a few days of warmth and sunshine in the Granite City, it feels like winter has returned at what is a perishing Pittodrie.

I didn't think I would need the gloves I got from Santa.

Anyway, let's hope the action in what is a high-stakes encounter can warm the hardy souls in the stands.

Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann says goalkeeper Max Stryjek is raring to go as he makes his first appearance in six months after heart surgery.

"It's taken him time to get to the level where he's neck-and-neck with Kelle [Roos]," he told BBC Scotland.

"I've got two wonderful goalkeepers to choose from and I just felt he deserves the opportunity.

"He's not fazed by it. He's trained like a demon for weeks now and he's ready to go.

"It's a huge game. We know how the split goes, I enjoy it in a weird sort of way. I relish the challenge."

Aberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson says he wanted to keep the same team, but Emmanuel Gyamfi suffered a concussion in training.

"If we can win today it can ease the pressure, without making us safe," Robinson told BBC Scotland.

"But if we go and play with the same intensity as we did against Hibs we've got every chance.

"The belief has grown. The result helps that, we've had two weeks to build on that and we hope to carry that into today.

"The story of the season has been lack of consistency. We've tried to address that."

All the goals, controversy and drama from today's Premiership action can be watched on Sportscene from 20:00 BST on the BBC Scotland channel.

Miss it there and you can catch up on BBC One Scotland at 23:50.

Miss that and you'll then soon find it on the iPlayer.

Miss that and we'll need to have words.

Our feed from Pittodrie is showing Neil McCann firmly locking his eyes on his Kilmarnock players as they go through their warm-up.

With such a huge game on the way, he clearly wants to know if his team are going to be at it pre-match.

Kick-off in 20 minutes or so.

Scottish League 1: Inverness will win the title today if they match Stenhousemuir’s result against Alloa. Even if they lose at East Fife and Stenny draw, the title is probably theirs because of goal difference. Kelty could also be relegated this afternoon.

Scottish League 2: East Kilbride will be promoted as champions if they win at Dumbarton and Spartans lose to Elgin. Anything less and it goes to the final day of the season with just one point between them at the moment.

St Johnstone showed no signs of a hangover last night when they dispatched Raith Rovers 2-0 to lift the second-tier title in style.

Back to the top flight they go at the first time of asking - but what else is in store on the penultimate weekend of the Championship season?

A shock relegation for Ross County could become reality if they lose to Morton and Airdrie win at home to Ayr. Of course, a reverse of those results would change everything.

Last night's defeat for Rovers confirmed Scottish Cup finalists Dunfermline's place in the play-offs.

We'll have goal updates throughout the afternoon here.

• Airdrieonians v Ayr Utd
• Arbroath v Partick Thistle
• Queen's Park v Dunfermline Athletic
• Ross County v Greenock Morton
