Hibs secure a first win in five games to move into third place in the Scottish Premiership thanks to two second-half goals against Kilmarnock.

An Alan Power own goal and a thundering Alex Gogic drive won an untidy game on a rutted Easter Road surface.

Substitute striker Nicke Kabamba came closest for the visitors but fired against the inside of the post with his side a goal behind.

Kilmarnock have been throwing the ball desperately into the Hibs box, but the home side break forward and Stevie Mallan's drive is beaten away by goalkeeper Danny Rogers.

No goals in the end at the Fountain of Youth Stadium. Dundee United looked better on the ball but Hamilton Academical had their moments too.

Accies remain second bottom but could slip to bottom spot if Motherwell take anything against Rangers tomorrow while United remain sixth and are well placed for a top-half finish.

Despite the visitors being down 10 men this game is still in the balance as St Mirren continue to press forward.

Can the hosts hold on to end a 10-game winless run?

More dropped points for the champions as Livingston's winning streak comes to an end.

Depleted Celtic remain winless in 2021 and are now 20 points behind Rangers with two games in hand.

Celtic substitute Armstrong Okoflex is on the stretch but just can't connect with Anthony Ralston's ball across the face of goal.

Nicky Devlin drags a shot wide at the other end as both sides go for a late winner.

Great play by Livingston's Scott Pittman down the left tees up Josh Mullin eight yards out and his strike rattles the bar after the slightest of touches from keeper Conor Hazard.

Referee Willie Collum isn't impressed as Hibs appeal for a spot kick as Josh Doig is sandwiched by two Kilmarnock players as he powers into the penalty box.

Kilmarnock have Danny Rogers to thank for keeping them in the game as the goalkeeper instinctively blocks Martin Boyle's header from a fine Josh Doig cross on the line.

Efe Ambrose sends another header wide, this time from a Josh Mullin free-kick.

With just over 10 minutes left, Livingston are looking the likelier to nick it.

The story of Aberdeen's day is summed up in one attacking move.

Scott Wright makes a great pass to Matty Kennedy, whose ball across is begging to be finished, but it slips through the legs of Sam Cosgrove right in front of goal.

Kilmarnock have come more into the game since influential winger Chris Burke and striker Nicke Kabamba were brought on as substitutes.

And Kabamba has a great chance to equalise only to fire off the inside of a post and it bounces back into the arms of goalkeeper Matt Macey.

Alan Power's own goal still has Hibs heading into third place.

Jak Alnwick has just denied Chris Kane his second goal of the game with an unbelievable fingertip save from close range, but the referee or linesman hasn't noticed it!

The St Johnstone striker has his head in his hands and Alnwick is laughing away on the deck.

Lawrence Shankland has been waiting all day for a clear sight of goal and when he gets one the Dundee United striker shoots just wide.
