- 0' That's the starting whistle at Pittodrie Stadium. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Aberdeen FC and Kilmarnock FC.
- 5' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jamie McGrath, as he is very good at scoring at Pittodrie Stadium with 4 goals in the last 4 games.
- 10' Aberdeen FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Kilmarnock FC backline.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bojan Miovski suffering a number of foals already.
- 20' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.

- 65' Controversy at the stadium! Jonny Hayes argues furiously but the card stands.
