Aberdeen lead at the break at Pittodrie after a clever first-half strike from midfielder Stuart Armstrong.

Stephen Robinson's hosts have been the better of the two sides in the opening 45 minutes.

United will be hopeful they get back into the game in the second-half with the Dons holding such a slender lead.

Dundee hold the lead at the break and, as things stand, they will be absolutely safe from the relegation play-off place.

Cameron Congreve struck the opening goal from close range and the hosts have had the better of the chances so far at Dens Park.

St Mirren didn't want half-time there. They've been improving in this one after a rough start.

They go into the break one down after Miguel Freckleton's own goal, though.

It's been an open encounter in Paisley and it feels like there are more goals in this.

It's taken them 40 minutes to really turn up for this one, but finally the home side are giving their supporters something to get excited about.

Most of the play in the last five minutes has been in Kilmarnock's half, with visiting goalkeeper Max Stryjek making a really good save from Mark O'Hara to keep his side ahead.

Signs of life, finally, from the Buddies. Not before time.

Cameron Congreve finds Simon Murray with a low cross and the Dundee captain lifts his effort over on the run.

The striker just couldn't get over that one.

United are finishing the first half how they started it, on the front foot, as they chase an equaliser before the break.

Really well-worked move by Killie, starting with a gorgeous outside-of-the-foot pass from Greg Kiltie, but Michael Schjonning-Larsen can't test the goalkeeper.

Mark O'Hara certainly can up the other end, but his close-range finish is saved by Max Stryjek, who should really have no chance. St Mirren have to score that.

Don Robertson can't seem to get out of the way.

The referee is basically man marking Roland Idowu as the St Mirren midfielder tries to fashion a shooting chance on the edge of the Killie box, then he has to dummy a pass from the visitors as they break.

Such an open game at present as the offside flag raises when it looks like a huge opportunity is opening up for the away side.

Dundee threaten at a corner with a rehearsed set-piece.

It doesn't quite go according to plan, but they do get a shot at goal at the end of it, with Simon Murray testing goalkeeper Jerome Prior.

To the shock of nobody, St Mirren are struggling to create in attack.

Roland Idowu attempts a cute dink behind the Killie defence, but there's no-one within 10 yards of it.

The crowd at Pittodrie is 18,163, in keeping with the trend of big attendances Aberdeen have had this term.

They have averaged more than 17,000, which is not bad going given how much the Dons have struggled over the season.

It's all gone a bit scrappy at Dens Park.

Joe Westley gets into an advanced position for Dundee, but the striker's effort is high and wide.

Aberdeen have an opportunity to double their lead from a free-kick after a foul on Toyosi Olusanya.

Kevin Nisbet's attempt is deflected for a corner, which was subsequently headed over the bar by centre-half Liam Morrison.

St Mirren midfielder Roland Idowu almost catches out Max Stryjek with a cross from the left.

The Kilmarnock goalkeeper might have the sun in his eyes as he goes to collect and gathers at the second attempt.

Aberdeen have certainly had a bit more of a spring in their step since they broke the deadlock.

Goalscorer Stuart Armstrong and Dennis Geiger, in particular, are starting to have a real influence on things.

Martin Boyle drives his side forward with a run through the middle of the park, nudging it to Owen Elding out wide on the left.

The striker checks back and fires it across goal, but Boyle is unable to latch on to it.

Moments later, Falkirk find themselves in a rare promising attacking position, but striker Kyrell Wilson's shot is well blocked.

Findlay Curtis gets a yard and the on-loan Rangers winger clips a lovely ball towards the back post, but nobody is there to pick it up for Killie.
