FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United It's been a long day in the Scottish Premiership and that was an absolute barnstormer of a game to finish on. Hearts sit top of the table after an excellent 2-0 win at Rangers, who are slumped in 10th place. Aberdeen are also without a win - or a goal - after a drab draw at home to Livingston, while Motherwell shared the points for a fifth successive time away to Dundee. St Mirren are celebrating their first league victory after getting the better of Falkirk. There's still one game to come on Sunday, with champions Celtic visiting Kilmarnock. Make sure you join us for that one. FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United Hibs head coach David Gray tells Premier Sports: “We got a point out of a game where our character was tested. "Our defence was poor. The positive I can take is that we came back after finding ourselves 3-1 down. "I told the players we gave them far too many chances and that we were miles off it today. "We relied on our goalkeeper heavily, second half. "For us, being at home, we weren’t good enough defensively, and a lot of that was down to Dundee United being good too, but we need to be better defensively. "I credit the players with their desire to go and get back into the game, but it feels like we're chasing too much. " On the penalty and the incorrect VAR call in the previous game, Gray adds: "The whole point of VAR is to get decisions right… It’s all about accountability, and the officials coming out [to discuss decisions] is important that there is that accountability. " FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells Premier Sports: "Firstly, I thought it was a fantastic game, a fantastic advert for the Scottish Premiership, two teams going at it, a lot of goalmouth action, and two keepers making great saves. "It’s a really harsh rule (for the penalty), I’d hate to be a defender these days or a referee making those decisions. "From our perspective, it’s two points dropped. "We’ve made a couple of mistakes and a really difficult penalty [is given against us], and Sevelj gets a red card, and will now miss the next game for us. He’s a really important player for us. "I don't know what Sevelj is meant to do. I think it's harsh. "I thought it was a brilliant game of football and I felt we should have won. All three goals we scored were really well-worked. " Dundee United led 1-0 and 3-1 at Easter Road FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United Jim Goodwin is doing his Premier Sports interview and is maybe suggesting Hibs were given a penalty after being denied an absolute stonewaller against St Mirren last time - and the fallout from the subsequent VAR review. Cheeky? Or does he have a point? FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United Pat Nevin Former Scotland winger on BBC Sportsound Dundee United have recruited really well. Forget the physicality, they can play. FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United Hibs' next outing is away to Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup. If they tighten up in defence and still carry anywhere near the same threat in attack, then they will fancy making it an Edinburgh double at Ibrox. FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United Hibs had 27 efforts on goal, with 12 on target. United weren't far behind with nine on target from 13 attempts. Both sides really went for it. There will be a lot of tired legs in the dressing rooms.

FT: Hibernian 3-3 Dundee United It was quite a day for Yevhen Kucherenko. The United keeper knocked in a horrible own goal then made a string of fabulous saves. He was jittery on crosses and that led to the stramash from which Hibs earned a penalty and Vicko Sevelj got his marching orders. The points are shared in a thriller. Hibs will be happy to have come back from two goals down but that's three home games without a win. With one win, the Edinburgh side stay third as Dundee United drop one place to fifth in a very congested table.

Aberdeen remain without a goal or a win in the Premiership At a glance Aberdeen remain without a win or a goal in the Premiership this season Dante Polvara hits post for Aberdeen with final kick of the game Livingston end three-game losing streak in all competitions Aberdeen were booed off at Pittodrie after a disappointing draw against Livingston left them still searching for their first Scottish Premiership win and goal of the season. Despite their poor start to the league campaign, the signings of Kevin Nisbet, Stuart Armstrong and Jesper Karlsson meant there was a positive mood among the large home support pre-match. Karlsson went close on a couple of occasions in the first half, while Adil Aouchiche and Alexander Jensen both curled low shots just wide when they should have hit the target. At the other end Tete Yengi saw a dangerous-looking effort blocked by his Livingston teammate Mo Sylla. Aberdeen had Dimitar Mitov to thank for keeping the scores level as the Bulgarian brilliantly tipped an Andy Winter long-range effort wide midway through the second half. Not to be outdone, Livingston goalkeeper Jerome Prior did equally well to tip Ante Palaversa's shot from distance over the bar. Topi Keskinen went close late on for Aberdeen with a low shot which trickled wide, before Leighton Clarkson had an added-time effort deflected just over the bar. Moments later Jimmy Thelin's side were denied by the woodwork as Marko Lazetic saw his turn and shot hit the post. Unable to find a way to goal once again, the home supporters made their dismay felt as boos rang around Pittodrie at full-time. For all the pre-match hype about Aberdeen's spate of big-name signings, the problems that have dogged them all season were evident again. A lack of creativity, and an inability to take the chances when they did come. Of course it will take time for the new recruits to get up to speed, but time is at a premium when a team is on a run like this. If the Dons aren't careful, their hopes of achieving a lot of what they want to this season will be over before they know it if things don't change – and quickly. On the other hand, this was classic Livingston. They were well drilled, well organised and largely stifled Aberdeen's creative threat. The visitors also carried a threat on the break. These are qualities that will serve David Martindale's side well as they continue to navigate their way through their return to the top flight. Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin: "We feel some frustration. We did some more stable things today, kept a clean sheet and create a lot of chances. "It's still not there, we still have things to work on. It's not good enough and we have to keep working hard to get the team up to speed. "I think we are going to succeed. It is a long-term project, we're going to keep going, but right now we have to show more. It's up to us to give the fans energy. We have to give them more. "The pressure is always there. We have had a really bad start, but we have to keep working and keep believing. The only way to get out of this is take it step by step. "This season is not over yet. We know we don't have enough points so far. We have to perform better. " Livingston manager David Martindale: "I thought it was a fantastic point away from home. "I don't think the first half we were anywhere near the levels I wanted us to be. Second half we were much better, posed a threat on the counter. "Jerome didn't really have a save to make. We could have nicked it, so I'm fairly pleased with the performance. "I thought the full group were very good. A special mention to Jerome and the back four. There was a lot to like. "We've got good team spirit, positive momentum and I think we'll get better as the season goes on. " Aberdeen return to Premier Sports Cup action next Saturday with a difficult-looking quarter-final against Motherwell at Pittodrie (15: 00 BST).
