Dundee United 3 Hibernian 0 (Sunday)
Hibs' woes increased as United recorded a comfortable Tannadice win.  United went in front when Jon Daly scored after David Robertson headed on a Barry Douglas' cross.  Another Robertson pass set up Craig Conway for the second with a drive from the edge of the box beating Graeme Smith.  United added a third when sub Johnny Russell stabbed the ball home at the second attempt from Conway's cross.  United's win sees them vault Motherwell into the top six, but Hibs have now gone twelve games without a win and haven't scored in their last seven matches.

Hamilton Academical 1 Kilmarnock 1
Accies came from behind to grab a precious point against ten-man Kilmarnock.  Conor Sammon fired in his 18th goal of the season from Mehdi Taouil's pass after 15 minutes.
However the visitors were up against it after 29 minutes when Jamie Hamill was sent off for a second yellow card following a foul on Flavio Paixao.  Hamilton substitute Damien Casalinuovo had the ball in the net but it was chalked off for offside, and the home side had 'keeper Tomas Cerny to thank with a great save from Taouil.  Killie, missing the suspended Alexei Eremenko, struggled to create and were pegged back to level when Mickael Antoine-Curier fired low into the net from outside the box with 12 minutes remaining.  The point drew Accies to within two points of second-bottom Hibs with two games in hand.

Hearts 1 St Johnstone 0
Hearts bounced back from their midweek defeat by Celtic to move within two points of second-placed Rangers in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.  Rudi Skacel scored the only goal after three minutes when he slid in Craig Thomson's cross.  Suso Santana and Skacel both had opportunities to increase Hearts' lead and Dave Mackay came to Saints' rescue when he cleared as Skacel waited to pounce on David Obua's driven cross.  Skacel again came close before substitutes Andrew Driver and Stephen Elliott twice combined, with Elliott's first effort going wide and the second blocked by Steven Anderson.  Hearts now face Rangers on Wednesday at Ibrox in a battle for second spot.
