FT: Aberdeen 2-0 Hibernian Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "We lost the game which is a game we came into in a really good place. "I think it will be dominated by decisions that happened within the game. I can't fault the effort of the players in terms of going down to 10 men. "I think the sucker punch for us was probably the timing of the second goal. We probably didn't force Aberdeen to defend enough, even though we were down to 10 men, that's something we'll need to look at. "The second goal was avoidable, the ball is clearly over the line, but the timing of that one killed any momentum we had going in towards the end of the game. " On Grant Hanley's red card and resulting penalty, Gray added: "I think he's unlucky. The timing of it, the wind, I think the initial foul is just outside the box but as Grant fell there is contact and I can see why he gave it. It's definitely accidental but definitely a foul. That's one we have to just accept. " On the red card check for Emmanuel Gyamfi's challenge on Owen Elding, Gray said: "The biggest thing for me is I saw it at the time and thought it was a foul. The fact the referee missed the foul was hugely frustrating for me. "When VAR intervene they only do that because they believe it's a red card. As he goes over, on one hand credit with the referee for sticking to his guns. I'm not one for criticising. They've got a difficult job but when you see it again at full speed I think it would be in the soft category but I think it is a red card. "Sped up it's a clear contact at the back of the head so for me it's violent conduct. " FT: Kilmarnock 2-2 Dundee Kilmarnock manager Neil Mc Cann has weighed in on the extended wait for the Dundee penalty decision in today's draw at Rugby Park. "It was chaos, " Mc Cann told BBC Scotland. "It's a ridiculous situation when the referee's got to come over and he's got to judge whether that's offside or not. I think it was offside. I don't think it's a penalty either. It's so soft. There's a wee bit of contact but this is a contact sport, he's clearly not going to get on the ball. Kelle [Roos] makes a good save. "I'm standing here probably a bit disappointed we've not got three points from the game. "You're looking a a game that we probably deserve three points, I feel certainly, that we could've got nothing. In hindsight, maybe tomorrow it might look like a good point. "We were told that they couldn't calibrate the machine and they couldn't get the lines in and then they've had to support the on-field decision. " FT: Hearts 3-1 Motherwell On that penalty at Tynecastle, Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou compares it with an incident last week involving his forward Tawanda Maswanhise. "We keep getting strange calls and decisions against us, " he tells BBC Scotland. "I think it's a shame when it gets decided on a moment like that. "I think the incident last week with Maswanihse would give a penalty an endless amount of more times in a normal world than the incident today. " FT: Hearts 3-1 Motherwell While disappointed with the penalty award to Hearts, Jens Berthel Askou concedes that his Motherwell side fell short in making the best of their chances at Tynecastle. "The game began lively, a little tactical and Hearts sitting off goalkeeper Calum [Ward] and giving him time on the ball, " he says. "It took us 10-15 minutes to decide how we dealt with that and from there I thought we got more and more control of the game. "They had their moments, especially on set plays, but in second half we started bright and we took control and created moments when we had to. "I thought we were on top and the better team and then we didn't take the moments we had. "That's obviously what separates the best from the second best over a season. " FT: Hearts 3-1 Motherwell Motherwell will be frustrated after squandering a few good chances. That's one point from their past five matches but the league's fourth-placed side stay three points in front of Hibs, who lost at Pittodrie. FT: Hearts 3-1 Motherwell The league leaders' unbeaten home record was under threat for while, but they have now won 13 and drawn four at Tynecastle. FT: Hearts 3-1 Motherwell "I thought it was a really good game, fiercely contested, " says Hearts head coach Derek Mc Innes. "They caused us a bit of anxiety with their speed, but I thought our shape was a good and we shaded the first half. When you play Motherwell it's difficult to build concerted pressure. "When we went 1-0 down we had a lot of work to do and it was important we stayed calm. I thought my subs did well and we get a great goal from Braga. "Nobody was settling for 1-1. We tried to put stress on their back-line. I wasn't sure about the penalty but everyone who's seen it back says it is, he gets kicked in the head. "Lawrence Shankland tucks it away brilliantly and Kabore finishes it off, the three strikers scoring. We were strong in the last 10 minutes to see it out for a great three points. "We've managed to beat a good team by digging deep and showing our motivation. The fans stayed with us, the players stayed with each other. " FT: Kilmarnock 2-2 Dundee Dundee manager Steven Pressley has been speaking to BBC Scotland and started off by commenting on his side's late, late penalty miss, which was awarded following a lengthy VAR check for offside. "Obviously, it was a great opportunity to claim all three points but I think the situation of the wait for six minutes, seven minutes before the decision's made is simply not good enough and I don't blame the officials for that. "The reality is that out technology in this country isn't up to speed and as a result of that, you get difficult situations like we did at the end of the game. "And, of course, then Joe Westley has to wait six, seven minutes prior to taking the penalty kick so it's far from ideal. "Before the game, . I spoke to the fourth official on this exact manner, that I didn't think that the technology for making offside decisions for was fit for purpose in our country and I think that was evident today. " Asked what was required, Pressley replied: "With better technology, it's as simple as that - investment in better technology. " FT: Aberdeen 2-0 Hibernian Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "It's much needed. "I thought we were very good at times but you could see a little bit of nervousness within the game when you've only had one clean sheet at Pittodrie since November. There's obviously going to be a nervousness but I thought there were some excellent performances. We said all week if we deliver balls into the box Kevin Nisbet will score. He's been really behind what we're trying to do and I'm delighted with his two goals. "I thought we were the better side with 11v11 as well. We created numerous opportunities, got into really good areas and delivered a lot more crosses than we have been. The key today was the clean sheet and the players managed to do that. It sets you up to not lose football matches and that has to be how we approach games from now on. "It's certainly a step in the right direction. It doesn't make us safe, we can't relax at all. We have to enjoy the moment, enjoy winning football matches, the fans haven't seen enough of that, but we know we still have a lot of work to do. FT: Celtic 1-0 St Mirren Pat Bonner Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound Celtic fell out of it again, but they've got away with it in most games. They're not playing midweek. Rest and recovery should be spot on. FT: Celtic 1-0 St Mirren Stephen Craigan Former Motherwell defender on BBC Sportsound Celtic haven't been at their best. They have laboured through games. There's five games to go in the title race, they're in the Scottish Cup semi-finals. What else do you need to energise you? The players should be bursting to get out of the dressing room. FT: Celtic 1-0 St Mirren "Naturally delighted to win the game, that's the most important thing, " says Celtic boss Martin O'Neill. "The energy levels concern me a bit, we didn't seem to have that. "For long periods in the second half, St Mirren were in control. However, we dug in and defended strongly to keep the clean sheet. "We can learn a lot and take important things into the semi-final [next weekend against the same opponents]. "The crowd were great. They kept with us when they could have been annoyed by some of our play. " O'Neill expects tension to build after the league split, saying: "I think we can play with more freedom but parts of the game were really understandable. " Brora Rangers are Highland League champions for the second year running. They found an equaliser away to Huntly in stoppage time to prevail by one point. It's not quite as exciting as it sounds since nearest rivals Brechin City collapsed to a 4-1 defeat at Turriff United. Linlithgow Rose are top of the Lowland League, beating Clydebank 2-0 to leapfrog the previous leaders. One game to go there, with Linlithgow two points in front That's Edinburgh City confirmed as the bottom side in League Two. But who will they face in a play-off? Scottish League Two Dumbarton 2-1 Stirling Albion Edinburgh City 0-2 Clyde Elgin City 0-3 Annan Athletic Forfar Athletic 1-0 East Kilbride Spartans 1-2 Stranraer Scottish League One East Fife 2-1 Peterhead Hamilton Academical 1-0 Alloa Athletic Kelty Hearts 3-1 Montrose Queen of the South 2-0 Cove Rangers Scottish Championship Ayr United 1-0 Arbroath Partick Thistle 2-0 Dunfermline Athletic Raith Rovers 3-2 Morton St Johnstone 4-0 Airdrieonians Phew! That was a lively old climax to the afternoon. .. Incidents galore in stoppage-time. As the dust settles, Hearts stay on top going into the split and Celtic remain three points behind. Rangers, who visit Falkirk tomorrow, are down to third for now. Aberdeen nudge up to eighth place, overtaking Dundee on goal difference after that late penalty miss from Joe Westley at Rugby Park. A dramatic end at Rugby Park as both sides take a point. Scott Wright had scored Dundee's second equaliser of the day and a foul on him by Jamie Brandon gave the visitors the chance to go in front but only after a lengthy VAR delay. Joe Westley could not convert in the end and within seconds, the full-time whistle. Joe Hugill and Michael Schjonning-Larsen with Kilmarnock's goals in the first half, with Simon Murray temporarily heading Dundee level. On to the split. .. Kilmarnock 2-2 Dundee Joe Westley's poor attempt from 12 yards is saved by Kilmarnock goalkeeper Kelle Roos and it stays 2-2. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain celebrates Celtic's goal in their narrow win over St Mirren At a glance Oxlade-Chamberlain's early goal splits sides Win keeps Celtic three behind leaders Hearts after their late comeback St Mirren now just two points above relegation play-off Celtic remain three points behind Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's early goal against St Mirren - but are left to rue what might have been. With half an hour left of the day's fixtures, Martin O'Neill's side were set to go level at the summit, until a late rally from the Tynecastle team left the gap at three. In a laboured display, Oxlade-Chamberlain's first-half finish proved decisive against an impressive St Mirren side and moved Celtic up to second, at least until Rangers face Falkirk on Sunday. St Mirren remain in 10th place, but are now just two clear of Kilmarnock, who occupy the relegation play-off spot. The stakes go up for both sides as the games run down. Celtic just needed to find another answer to the questions they have faced all season. Convincing or not. It really wasn't but they ultimately did what was required. The home side started brightly enough and thought they had an early reward when captain Callum Mc Gregor's fierce strike was palmed straight to Oxlade-Chamberlain and he instinctively volleyed home but from an offside position. Just as St Mirren started to get a foothold, the home side struck. Mc Gregor fired towards goal again. It was blocked and fell perfectly for Oxlade-Chamberlain and he produced a quality finish across Shamal George for the breakthrough that would eventually settle the contest. The visitors suffered another blow when George had to be replaced by Ryan Mullen after he bravely cut out Daizen Maeda's cross and was caught by Tomas Cvancara. The striker, who has struggled to show conviction in front of goal, did just that again after Maeda cut back but his shot was tame in a great position. A second goal would have brought a degree of comfort to Celtic that never came and rarely looked likely to. In truth, St Mirren looked the better side for long spells after the interval but the hosts saw it out to secure another crucial win in this title race. If Celtic retain their title, they look like doing it the hard way. Wins are paramount. Comfortable ones seemingly elusive but right now, not too many connected with Celtic will care. They remain in the fight. Somehow. It's arguable whether the outcome was fully deserved as there was always that lurking doubt that something might undo them. That's often been the case this season. Celtic have been crying out for a striker to consistently bang in goals. In this vital win, that was clear as day again. Benjamin Nygren has been the only one with a clinical edge all season but Oxlade-Chamberlain showed his quality in this crucial step in the title race. That said, Celtic remain right in the hunt heading into the split and with more home games than away, they're in a position they would absolutely take right now. St Mirren took six points from the last six to deliver a massive shot in the arm as they try to battle up the table. Interim manager Craig Mc Leish seems to cut a calm figure who brings clarity. This was always a tough challenge but they did perform well, particularly after the break. However, the outcome leaves them with a big fight ahead. Anything here would have been worth its weight in gold. They have the chance of another huge Hampden upset against Celtic next weekend in the cup but their fight to remain in the top-flight clearly takes precedence. A home fixture against bottom side Livingston is next in that fight. One they will focus on capitalising on but they can take plenty of encouragement from this performance and recent results. These two sides meet again next Sunday (14: 00 BST) in a completely different context at Hampden Park in their Scottish Cup semi-final.
