Celtic and Aberdeen continued their race at the top of the Scottish Premiership with wins over Motherwell (3-0) and Dundee United (1-0) respectively, as Rangers nervously navigated the test of St Mirren with a 2-1 win at Ibrox.
There was last-minute joy for St Johnstone after experienced forward Nicky Clark scored a 90th-minute winner to help them a dramatic 2-1 away win at Dundee. There was late joy for Ross County too, as the unfortunate Joe Wright saw his own goal condemn Kilmarnock to a 2-1 defeat at Dingwall.
Of course, there was the expected drama at Easter Road too, with the first Edinburgh derby of the season taking place on Sunday. Hearts had 17-year-old James Wilson to thank after he rescued a late point for the Jambos with an 86th-minute equaliser. For Hibs, their record of just one league win in nine means they remain bottom of the Scottish Premiership for another week.
