Killie start the half by winning a wide free-kick and here it comes from Greg Kiltie.

It's a poor delivery but still falls for Michael Schjonning-Larsen, who smashes off target.

Half-time changes for both sides.

Aberdeen's Toyosi Olusanya is on for Mitchy Ntelo.

And Tyreece John-Jules replaces Killie striker Djenairo Daniels.

At the start the endeavour and willingness to do the right things outweighed the lack of quality, but as the half wore on the lack of quality became so apparent that it totally overtook any willingness to work and do anything good.

It was a difficult watch that last 15 minutes. It was really, really poor.

From top-level footballers in this country you'd be expecting more.

I think Neil McCann will be the happier of the two managers. From an Aberdeen point of view, when the ball goes forward you can see they are lacking in confidence.

This has been a frustrating watch overall.

Fizz, energy and endeavour. Just not enough quality.

A few chances to brighten things up at times. Surely one of these moments will give us a net-bulging moment come the second half.

Having said that, neither of these sides have scored a goal in their past three matches.

120 minutes and penalties it is then...

A goalless half of football between Kilmarnock and Aberdeen?

Surely not?

Stuart Armstrong beats the first man with this corner and it eventually drops for Kevin Nisbet, who can't get his shot away.

Sums this half up, that.

Some of the decisions in this game are... interesting.

It's been weirdly entertaining, though.

Maybe I'm alone in that.

Four minutes added at the end of this half.

Really?

Kilmarnock 0-0 Aberdeen

A nasty collision between Mitchy Ntelo and George Stanger results in a stoppage.

The Kilmarnock defender has come worse off and needs some bandage work to his bloody head, but both seem OK to continue.

Joe Hugill goes down and screams for a penalty, but there's nowhere near enough in that.

The Kilmarnock striker looks like he's getting in behind Dan Happe but drops to the turf after feeling a hand on his shoulder.

Bizarre decision from Don Robertson, who waves play on after Greg Kiltie is barged down by Stuart Armstrong wide on the right.

That was surely a foul, but the referee sees it as a coming together.

That shot packed a punch!

Lowery has time to take a touch, look up, and he catches it really well.

A ball breaks for Tom Lowery at the edge of the box, but his strike is deflected behind.

It's rinse and repeat from the resulting corner as the Kilmarnock midfielder is able to let one fly again. This one deflects before being saved by Marius Muller.

There's space for Aberdeen to exploit and Stuart Armstrong picks out Kevin Nisbet.

But Kilmarnock defender Cathal McCarthy stands his ground and makes a good challenge.

We can't have back-to-back goalless draws in the same fixture? Surely?

Waiting for Mick McCarthy's voice to say 'we can'.

Decision-making lets Killie down again as Aaron Tshibola sends in Greg Kiltie, who shoots from the angle instead of finding Djenairo Daniels at the back post.
