Rangers 3 – 3 Motherwell (Sun)
Rangers' Ibrox title party was dampened when two goals in the last four minutes earned Motherwell a dramatic draw.  Rangers got the perfect start when Kris Boyd scored their 50th home SPL goal of the season when he took Stevie Naismith's pass and spun Steven Saunders before driving past John Ruddy.  The Motherwell goalkeeper saved well from Kenny Miller and although Lukas Jutkiewicz had a goal disallowed for offside Rangers added a second five minutes before the break when Lafferty converted another Naismith cross.  

'Well looked much better after the break and five minutes after the restart half-time sub Jamie Murphy drove in after a great run by Jim O'Brien, who was playing his final Motherwell game before joining Barnsley.  Neil Alexander made a great save from Jutkiewicz before Rangers made it 3-1 when Lafferty slotted in from sub Nacho Novo's cut-back.  However Steve Jennings pounced on Player of the Year Davie Weir's error to make it 3-2 in the final minute then, when Alexander was judged to have pulled Murphy down in the second minute of injury-time, 'Well were awarded a penalty and Jutkiewicz slotted in the kick.  The point means Motherwell finish fifth in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League table and now need to hope Dundee United win the Scottish Cup next Saturday to secure them a Europa League place.

Kilmarnock 0 – 0 Falkirk (Sat)
Falkirk were relegated from this season's Clydesdale Bank Premier League after they were held to a goalless draw at Rugby Park.  Steven Pressley's side needed to win to relegate Killie but although they had plenty of possession they couldn't find the breakthrough which would've kept them up.  Kevin Kyle and Craig Bryson both came close for the home side in the second-half but Ryan Flynn fired a late chance over the top from Enoch Showunmi's flick as Falkirk pressed for the goal they needed.  But it wouldn't come and a tense day ended with Falkirk going down for the first time since 2005.

St Johnstone 2 – 3 Hamilton (Sat)
Hamilton finished a terrific seventh in the table after a fine win at McDiarmid Park.  Mark McLaughlin headed them into the lead from Alex Neil's cross then Dougie Imrie fired in a spectacular free-kick to double their lead.  Murray Davidson headed in Chris Millar's cross to make it 2-1 then Liam Craig equalised after Sean Murdoch had saved his penalty-kick, awarded for the 'keeper's foul on Kenny Deuchar.  But James Wesolowski bundled in the winner from close range – and Saints boss Derek McInnes was sent to the stand in the final minute by ref Willie Collum.

St Mirren 0 – 1 Aberdeen (Sat)
A first-half own goal saw Aberdeen's disappointing season end with a win.  Darren Mackie's shot spun off Lee Mair beyond Mark Howard.  Saints twice came close to levelling through Billy Mehmet, who saw one effort hit the post then another saved by Jamie Langfield.  The Dons 'keeper made a number of second-half saves to help give Mark McGhee's side just their third win in 20 games.

Dundee United 0 – 2 Hibernian (Sun)
Hibs cemented a Europa League place when they leapfrogged Motherwell thanks to Colin Nish's double at Tannadice.  Nish gave them the perfect start when he took Liam Miller's pass and beat Dusan Pernis after 11 minutes.  Hibs were comfortable after their early goal and after Derek Riordan had a second-half shot saved by Pernis, Nish nodded Hibs' second from Steven Thicot's cross to make it five goals in two games for the frontman.

Hearts 1 – 2 Celtic (Sun)
Celtic made it eight consecutive Clydesdale Bank Premier League wins under Neil Lennon with a Tynecastle win.  Robbie Keane put Celtic in front when he took advantage of Marius Zaliukas failing to cut out Aiden McGeady's pass to drive home, but home skipper Zaliukas levelled when he crisply fired home Craig Thomson's cross nine minutes before the break.  Chinese international Zheng Zhi put Celtic back in front on the hour and Lennon's side saw the win out comfortably.
