Celtic and Rangers both earned three points and kept clean sheets with victories over St Mirren and St Johnstone respectively. It keeps the gap at the top of the table to three points.
The bigger story involving the Glasgow giants is the fan reaction to their controversial friendly tournament in Australia in the Sydney Super Cup with banners at McDiarmid Park and Celtic Park.
At the bottom of the table, Saints’ draw allowed Dundee to pull one point closer with a draw with ten-man Hibs at Dens Park. In turn, two dropped points from the Hibees meant Livingston stormed into fourth place with a 2-1 success over Dundee United at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
Livi are just one of three teams in the league on a two-game winning streak. Hearts strengthened their hold on third-place with a comfortable and confident 2-0 success over Aberdeen. The gap to fourth now stands at 12 points.
The other team to win two successive games is Ross County. Their win at Motherwell saw them into eighth, just two points off the top six.
Aberdeen are now the team in tenth and have lots of work to do to get into the top six with just four games until the split.

5. Ex-Ibrox striker suggests Rangers overhaul
Kris Boyd has suggested that there could be an “overhaul” at Rangers with Giovanni van Bronckhorst appearing reluctant to make changes in recent games. Boyd said: Once they’ve got the jersey and if they keep performing there’s a reluctance to change it. It maybe tells us there might be an overhaul in the Rangers squad to come in the summer whatever happens - if you do win the league, if you don’t - I think the last few games have told us that I don’t really think van Bronckhorst trusts his squad.” (Sky Sports) Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group

7. Neilson blasts Ferguson
Hearts boss Robbie Neilson said he hopes the compliance officer will look into Aberdeen star Lewis Ferguson after he won a penalty against Hearts. Neilson believes the midfielder ‘conned’ referee Steven McLean. He said: “I’d like to think the compliance officer will have a good look at it because we dominated the game, creating chances. They go up the pitch, con the referee and could have got back in the game.” (The Scotsman) Photo: Ross Parker - SNS Group
8. Rangers fans hit out at club over Aussie friendly
Rangers supporters group Club 1872 has revealed it has written to the club to seek answers over their involvement in the Sydney Super Cup in November, a tournament which will see them play Celtic. Club 1872 said: “Regardless of the fee involved, alienating a significant portion of your supporter base cannot be seen as a sound commercial decision. Furthermore, the way in which this entire episode has been communicated to supporters once again highlights a lack of genuine supporter engagement.” (Various) Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
