Kilmarnock 2 Rangers 3
Kenny Miller grabbed a hat-trick to stun battling Killie and take his tally to 18 goals this season.  Gers had to come from behind - for the sixth game this season - after Conor Sammon slid in Liam Kelly's cross early on.  Miller slammed in a penalty after Mahamadou Sissoko tripped him shortly before half-time.  Miller added a second spot-kick following Sissoko's tug on Kyle Lafferty - which saw the home defender red-carded - but Sammon turned in Jamie Hamill's cross to level.  However there was to be disappointment for the home side when Miller completed his hat-trick from Steven Whittaker's cross.

Aberdeen 0 St Johnstone 1
The problems increased for Mark McGhee as his side slumped to another defeat.  Aberdeen had defender Rory McArdle shown a straight red card for a late tackle on Cleveland Taylor early in the second-half - and the home side's misery was complete when defender Zander Diamond headed Peter MacDonald's cross past his own 'keeper with seven minutes remaining.  The loss was Aberdeen's fifth loss in seven home games.

Celtic 1 Dundee United 1
Celtic were left three points adrift of Rangers at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League when they conceded an injury-time equaliser at Celtic Park.  Gary Hooper had given the home side the lead in the first-half with a crisp finish from Shaun Maloney's pass.  Neil Lennon's side however were unable to build on their lead and the team and support grew increasingly edgy.  Prince Buaben cleared another Hooper effort off the line and Celtic were left shattered in the final moments when Shaun Dillon headed in Barry Douglas' cross to level.  

Hearts 2 Hamilton Academical 0
Hearts recorded their fourth successive two-goal win to stay in third place.  Rudi Skacel gave Hearts a 32nd-minute lead with a dipping volley from the edge of the Accies box, and David Templeton doubled their lead seven minutes after the interval, firing from distance into the top corner.  Accies were awarded a penalty for Ruben Palazuelos' foul on sub Flavio Paixao - but Simon Mensing's spotkick was saved by Marian Kello.

Inverness Caledonian Thistle 4 Hibernian 2
Adam Rooney fired in a hat-trick as Inverness CT moved up to fourth in the SPL.  Richie Foran fired the home side ahead following a one-two with Rooney after seven minutes and Rooney scored his first from the spot early in the second-half after a handball which saw Hibs' youngster Paul Hanlon sent off.  Derek Riordan pulled one back following defensive slackness by Caley Thistle but Rooney made it 3-1 from Jonny Hayes' pass.  Hibs responded from the spot when Liam Miller scored after Ross Tokely had fouled Colin Nish but Rooney completed his hat-trick following another Hayes pass.

St Mirren 1 Motherwell 1
Nick Blackman rescued a point for 'Well against ten-man St Mirren.  The visitors almost took the lead through Tom Hateley and Alan Gow before the home side's Gareth Wardlaw headed his side in front from Paul McGowan's cross.  Blackman fired in Stevie Hammell's cross for a leveller before Saints were reduced to ten men for a foul on Motherwell skipper Stephen Craigan.
