It's a funny, fickle old game. St Mirren are probably wishing they hadn’t beaten Motherwell just before Christmas. Motherwell, on the other hand, are perhaps glad they did. Since that victory at Fir Park, the struggling Saints have slithered to six league defeats on the trot. Motherwell, by contrast, have rallied with five wins in a row. This latest success, burnished by two cracking goals, hoisted them up to seventh in the table while St Mirren are slowly drifting away at the bottom.

THE big lumps of Midlothian against the warriors of West Lothian. It would be wrong to say these two teams were lumping the ball forward at every opportunity, but where the tight pitch at Tynecastle helps Hearts against most teams, against Livingston last night Craig Levein’s side could perhaps have done with a manicured playing surface and the width of Hampden Park.

THE impact of Brian Rice at Hamilton was hailed by his players during the week following the draw with Dundee, but it was plain for all to see at the Hope CBD Stadium as Accies claimed a huge three points against St Johnstone last night.

MATCHES between Aberdeen and Rangers are rarely, if ever, tame affairs. But this encounter, even by the standards of this famous fixture, was especially incendiary. It will live long in the memory of those involved and present.

THIS was a game that had everything. Crucially for Steven Gerrard, the three points went Rangers’ way at the end of it.
