It is not looking good for St Mirren's hopes of a comeback.

Dundee have never lost - and won four - when scoring the opening goal at home in the Premiership this season.

Meanwhile, St Mirren have lost 15 times - and won only once - when conceding the opening goal.

Dom Thompson has replaced Nicky Cleșcenco for Kilmarnock at half-time.

Thompson slots in at left-back, with Michael Schjonning-Larsen moving to right-back and Findlay Curtis pushing higher up on the left.

Zac Sapsford has an attempt from distance but the Dundee United forward cannot find the target.

Yep, Oli McBurnie scored a double for Hull today.

Tommy Conway, George Hirst and Ross Stewart were also on the scoresheet in the English Championship earlier today.

Back up and running across the country.

Despite Stenhousemuir leading at at Montrose through Michael Anderson's opener, Inverness are heading for the title with a two-goal half-time lead against Hamilton.

And it is Accies who occupy the relegation play-off spot, with Cove Rangers and East Fife currently drawing 0-0.

No goals but enough big moments, and Falkirk's Barney Stewart really ought to have opened the scoring.

He fired well over with support free inside, then hit the side netting with Calum Ward in goal exposed. Then couldn't net right on half-time when presented with a gift.

In return, Elijah Just and Emmanuel Longelo have gone close before Calvin Miller and Stewart were blocked.

Lots of chances, no goals, but surely one or two to come from two very attacking sides.

This hasn't been a classic, perhaps unsurprisingly given the high stakes.

But it is Dundee who have had the few chances there have been, and crucially they have taken one of them.

St Mirren haven't offered a whole lot in an attacking sense, something that will have to change in the second half if they are to have any chance of getting anything from this game.

Killie know they need a win today, and they are certainly doing everything to make it happen.

Six of their eight shots have hit the target - generating an expected goals rating of 1.67 - and with a record of W4, D3, L1 when scoring the opening goal at home in the Premiership this season, Neil McCann's side will be confident they can see this out.

They've limited the visitors to a few half-chances and have controlled the middle of the park, with Aaron Tshibola impressing.

No days off for David Gray, with the Hibs boss on a scouting mission to watch top-six opposition in Falkirk.

His side welcome title-chasing Celtic tomorrow at 12:00 BST.

St Mirren will end the day second bottom of the Premiership if it stays like this.

And they have not threatened to change the narrative since Joe Westley prodded Dundee into a 12th-minute lead.

The hosts have grown since then and are well worthy of a lead that would take them six points clear of the visiting Buddies.

As expected the first half has been an intense, attacking display from both teams.

There's been chances for both sides and Falkirk were starting to edge things towards the end of the first 45 minutes.

There's got to be goals to come in this one.

So far, so good for Kilmarnock - but not so much for Livingston.

As things stand, Livingston will be relegated after Robbie Deas' goal put Killie in front against Dundee United.

With St Mirren losing at Dundee, if could turn out to be a very encouraging afternoon for Neil McCann's side, but there's a long way to go in this one.

Dundee United have had their chances but are yet to really test Max Stryjek.

That's almost an absolute howler from Calum Ward.

Paul McGinn passes the ball back to his goalkeeper, who seems to get his feet stuck under him and allows Barney Stewart to get a shot away, but the Well goalie makes the save.

It's good work again from Falkirk and Motherwell goalkeeper Calum Ward gets a strong hand to keep out Barney Stewart's close-range strike after Paul McGinn made an excellent block.

St Mirren want a penalty as Tony Yogane challenges Mark O'Hara with the visiting midfielder poised to shoot just inside the penalty box.

It looks like the home midfielder is the one who is kicked by the St Mirren captain and that appears to be what VAR has seen too after a quick check.

Aaron Tshibola gets away a shot under pressure and Dundee United goalkeeper Dave Richards saves well.

Killie are eager for a second goal as half-time nears.

At the other end, Zac Sapsford lifts a shot over. Breathless stuff.

Filip Lissah wins Falkirk a free-kick just outside the Motherwell box.

The defensive headed clearance falls to Ben Broggio on the edge but his effort zips wide.

Chance Dundee United.

Kilmarnock are pinned back and Will Ferry goes on a mazy in the inside right channel but cannot get a shot past a clutch of defenders.
