Aberdeen hold on to first-minute lead to beat relegation rivals Kilmarnock

Aberdeen led from the first minute in their vital Scottish Premiership match against relegation rivals Kilmarnock but had to hold on for a 1-0 win in a game that saw the home side's crossbar struck three times.

Afeez Aremu netted the early opener, and while Aberdeen rarely looked like adding a second, Killie's Aaron Tshibola headed off the bar twice, and Jack Milne came close to netting an own goal as he headed off his own woodwork.
