Former Dundee manager and current Scotland Under-21 head coach Tony Docherty is in Paisley to watch St Mirren against Dundee.

Buddies players Henry Fieldson and Ryan Carr were in his recent squad, as was Dundee forward Bobby Wales, who remains out after picking up an injury as part of the squad last month.

Kilmarnock threaten at a corner and George Stanger gets up but cannot get over it with a header over.

A big chance goes begging for Rangers.

Nico Raskin is totally unmarked from a corner, but can't get clean contact on his header.

Ismael Kabia looks threatening when he picks up the ball in Paisley, and he has just had the first attempt of the game, but his drive from the edge of the box is straight at Dundee goalkeeper Owen Goodman.

Nice from Rangers winger Badredine Bouanani, who chops inside, leaves Liam Smith on the floor and shoots just wide.

The trees behind the Falkirk Stadium are blowing all over the place and the corner flags are struggling to stay up.

On the pitch, there have been more than one or two overhit passes, mostly from Falkirk.

Ryan Naderi spins and shoots wide for Rangers.

There was a deflection on the shot, but the subsequent corner comes to nothing.

Ah, that's nice, Alan.

I'll let Andy know his auld man has been in touch.

The conditions at Falkirk are already causing problems.

Kilmarnock goalkeeper Calum Ferrie has given the ball away from deep a couple of times and he has to rescue his side with an intervention after the Bairns threaten at a throw.

As I stood in the Ibrox tunnel waiting to speak to the respective managers, Dan Neil was giving his Rangers team a rallying call before heading out for the warm-up.

It's the kind of thing you normally see before kick-off, but it maybe hints at Rangers' determination to get back to winning ways after dropping two points at Dens Park last weekend.

St Johnstone have proven to be a tough nut to crack this season, however, and they'll look to frustrate the hosts while retaining an attacking threat.

Early chance for Aberdeen as Connor Ronan tries to bend one into the far corner from the left-hand side of the box, but it's headed over the bar by a United defender.

The resulting corner picks out Nestor Guinness-Walker on the volley, but that's blocked by Zac Sapsford.

We're getting under way around the country.

There is currently a period of silence being observed at Ibrox as part of their yearly Remembrance Day tribute.

Dundee United and Aberdeen face off in a clash where there is more than just pride at stake, with both sides knowing three points could prove crucial to their Scottish Premiership ambitions this season.

United will be determined to make home advantage count, while Aberdeen will be under pressure to deliver a statement performance and keep their season on track.

It may still be relatively early in the season, but with valuable points up for grabs the margin for error is slim - and whoever handles the pressure best could come away with a vital victory in what are terrible conditions.

Rangers v St Johnstone: The Ibrox side have won their past nine meetings with Saints in all competitions by an aggregate score of 18-1 since a 2-1 league defeat in November 2022.

Dundee Utd v Aberdeen: United have only suffered one defeat in their past nine home league games against the Dons, losing 3-1 in March 2023.

Falkirk v Kilmarnock: The Rugby Park side have won just one of their past eight top-flight matches against the Bairns, although that did come away from home way back in February 2010.

St Mirren v Dundee: The Buddies have lost their past five games, their longest run in the Scottish Premiership since losing six in a row from August to October 2020.

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "The forecast has been well-documented in the build-up. The wind is to come later on, but the pitch is great condition.

"The ground staff have been working really hard. We've invested well in the summer, so a bit of rain shouldn't cause too many problems.

"Great conditions as a player, personally I loved these conditions. The ball will move nice and fast, it'll suit both teams.

"There's been a big rebuild every summer I've been here and that is difficult as a manager. You'd like to have a more settled group. The players have been extremely receptive since day one and we're starting to see that understanding."

Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann tells BBC Sportsound: "Bailey Rice is injured so he misses out today.

"It's always bright in my changing room. The team have come off the back of a really good result. This gives us another opportunity today just to let us know ourselves how good a team we can be.

"We're determined to play in a certain manner that we train in.

"It's not going to be pretty at times. You're up against a really good side that can be strong in their own right and we need to match them. They've changed a lot since last year."

St Johnstone boss Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland: "We are very excited. It is a big test, but we want to test ourselves and see where we are.

"We play against a top opponent in a top stadium, but it is a football match. We need to be us and compete as we have been competing. If you give them time and space, they will hurt you.

"It's a beautiful surface, so the conditions are OK.

"It's all about our way of doing things and we need to be at our top level to be successful."
