Partick Thistle are back top of the second tier, a narrow derby win over Queen's Park taking them three points clear of Raith Rovers and Dunfermline after their Fife derby draw last night.

But the story of the day was in Greenock, where Morton were 2-0 up against Stenhousemuir, but after Calvin Okike's red card, the fourth-placed visitors scored three times only for the hosts to win 4-3, with Dylan Borso scoring all four.

Meanwhile, Arbroath thumped four past sorry Ayr.

This has the feel of a real Premiership pressure cooker affair.

Two teams that began the campaign with top six ambitions – as a bare minimum – find themselves languishing at the wrong end of the table.

The Dons are 10th, just three points above their capital opponents who sit bottom. To say both teams could do with a win is an understatement.

Aberdeen have lost three of their past four league games, and it is three defeats on the spin in all competitions.

Hibs have been just as poor, but Marink Reedijk and his team arrive on a high after last weekend’s League cup semi-final win over city rivals Hearts.

Hibs manager Marink Reedijk tells BBC Scotland: "Adam Mayor in the week had a small thing with his hamstring. It was not an option he could play tonight, so we take him out of the squad.

"Jack [Iredale] trained absolutely fantastic over the last few weeks. How he reacted to not being in the team, that's what teamwork looks like.

"[Following up last week is] not a challenge, it's something a good team is able to do. I believe we are a good team.

"I see the same intensity as I've seen before. That's not changed. We just now have a confirmation that we can do it.

"We got the result first and foremost but also that we can turn a game around. We need that to feel progress."

Aberdeen head coach Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "The team against Rangers was a team that was hard to break down, hard to beat.

"This is different - we're at home and we have to win the match. We believe by adding the two wide players it gives us a bit more creative and energy at the top end of the pitch.

"Hibs have played really well without getting results. They performed really well against Celtic. It's similar to ourselves - decent performances without end product.

"We know the magnitude of the game, we need to win. A draw isn't enough for us."

Three changes for Aberdeen from their Premier Sports Cup semi-final defeat by Rangers last week, with two of them coming in attack.

Dan Happe comes into the back-line, returning from suspension, to replace Gavin Molloy. The Irishman drops to the bench.

Emmanuel Gyamfi is out for the next 10 weeks and he is replaced with Tony Yogane, who returns from illness.

However, Ayoub Mouloua now has a sickness bug and he drops out for French winger Hicham Mahou, who makes a first start for the club.

Jack Iredale makes a return to Hibs' starting XI in place of the injured Adam Mayor in the only change from the side that beat Hearts in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final last weekend.

Left-back Mayor picked up a hamstring problem during training and that's a big blow after such an impressive display at Hampden.

Manager Marink Reedijk is also without veteran centre-back Grant Hanley, who has had an operation on a thumb.

Teenage midfielder Zach Bruce is once again named on the bench.

Aberdeen: Muller, Devlin, Happe, Milne, Guinness-Walker, Ronan, Lyons, Aremu, Yogane, Mahou, Nisbet.

Substitutes: Klein, Frame, Briedl, Smith, Armstrong, Olusanya, Molloy, Ntelo, Marshall.

Hibernian: Sallinger, Passlack, Kerr, Ivezic, Iredale, Chaiwa, Newell, Mulligan, McGrath, Boyle, Elding.

Substitutes: Smith, Williams, Klidje, Cadden, Suto, Wright, Bruce, Matondo, Abdulai.

Stay with us for reaction from McDiarmid Park and Tannadice while we also start turning our attention to the 17:45 kick-off at Pittodrie as Hibs visit Aberdeen.

The league positions stay the same, with Dundee still in fifth but missing the opportunity to overtake Falkirk.

City rivals United also miss the chance to go fourth but are now only behind the Dark Blues on goal difference.

St Johnstone's victory takes them level with their Tayside rivals on points but remain seventh on goal difference.

Motherwell say ninth.

A breathtaking match at Tannadice ends with a point for each side.

Dundee United had a number of chances in the second half, but were unable to find a winner.

I wonder if you'll see a more entertaining draw this season.

St Johnstone defeat Dundee for just the second time in their last 12 meetings to move joint on points with Steven Pressley's men.

A deserved victory for Simo Valakari's side.

Dundee have got to score!

Joe Westley's only a few yards out from the St Johnstone net and the striker, who already has one goal to his name, completely fluffs his shot.

Another opportunity for United.

Jesse Randall still looking dangerous.

He bursts down the left and strikes from distance and it looks just inches away from the crossbar, but it goes wide.

What a chance for Joshua Rawlins to take the points for United.

A cross floated from the left, Rawlins is all alone at the back post but doesn't make contact with the ball!
