Sky Sports Luke Shanley…
Both supervisors will probably be frustrated following this one for various reasons. Paul Heckingbottoms Hibernian have been in a dominant position, a guy up and a target up but weak finishing has cost them two points.
Christian Doidge is the guilty party overlooking four one-on-ones using Aberdeen goalkeeper and captain Joe Lewis, who did his first job on each event.
Doidge joined with big expectations given Hibernian paid a reasonable transfer fee for his services because of their standards, however, the prior Welsh basketball international failed to deliver yet again.
He missed three good chances in the opening league game of the year against St Mirren. This result will not have helped his confidence or the fans patience as Hibernian year wait to get a triumph in the Granite city goes on.
Derek McInnes delegated media duties to his assistant Tony Docherty, who stated that the teams character and belief were down to the supervisor. Aberdeen seemed to play with 10 men and they needed to clearly demonstrate their fighting qualities after a weeks 5-0 thumping.
McInnes and Docherty felt neither Curtis Main nor Lewis Ferguson merited reddish cards for their struggles on Stevie Mallan however that sense of injustice worked for the team since they pulled together to salvage some point.
Another Aberdeen increase was that the earlier than expected return of defender Scott McKenna from harm. His presence will no doubt assist as Aberdeen look to regroup and recuperate over the international break.
Motherwell transferred to within 3 points of Ladbrokes Premiership leaders Celtic win over St Mirren in Fir Park.
Prior to taking the guide, the Well, who are in third place were forced to wait patiently until the 39th minute.
James Scott has been the man together with all the Scotland U21 scoring a sublime curling shot.
Chris Long added gloss to the scoreline from the 86th minute to leave St Mirren without a win in six league matches.
After being held to a 2-2 draw at Ross County st Johnstone stay bottom of this table, and without a win.
Joe Chalmers opened the scoring for County in the 10th minute after reversing Ross Stewarts cross.

If Matty Kennedy fired in a long-range strike the Saints then took the lead six minutes.
