Hearts 0 Celtic 3
Celtic made sure the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title race will go to the last day of the season with a comfortable win over Hearts at Tynecastle.  In a game which saw both sides finish with ten men Celtic were always in control.  They went in front when Marius Zaliukas, back in the home side's central defence, was dispossessed by Kris Commons and the Scotland winger slotted the ball through for Gary Hooper to beat Marian Kello with a low drive.  Hearts' chances were dealt a blow when Ugandan David Obua was shown a red card after a bust-up with Charlie Mulgrew and Celtic went two up when Ki Sung-Yeung wriggled his way to the edge of the box and set up Hooper for a clinical finish.  Shameful scenes then followed as a supporter emerged from the crowd and appeared to aim a punch at Celtic manager Neil Lennon before being led away by the police but Celtic increased their lead when Commons drove home a long-range effort.  However the goalscorer was shown a second yellow card for his celebrations and will miss the final game of the season against Motherwell.  Celtic are now a point behind leaders Rangers going into Sunday's final round of games.
 
Inverness Caledonian Thistle 2 Hibernian 0
Goals either side of the interval saw Inverness CT continue their strong end to the season with a merited win over Hibs.  Richie Foran put the home side ahead just before the break when he headed in Adam Rooney's cross.  Youngster Nick Ross clinched victory for Caley Thistle with his first goal of the season when he volleyed in the second from the edge of the box from Foran's pass.
 
Motherwell 1 Kilmarnock 1
Motherwell failed to gain the win which would've given them the chance to overhaul fifth-placed Kilmarnock.  Steve Jones put the home side ahead after eight minutes when his drive deceived Killie 'keeper Cammy Bell at his near post.  Willy Aubameyang levelled for Killie soon after the interval from James Dayton's pass and both sides had chances to win it in the later stages.  Bell saved well from Shaun Hutchinson and home 'keeper Darren Randolph tipped Craig Bryson's effort over.
