FT: Celtic 3-0 Hearts
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Scotland: "The way we played through the press for all three goals was really impressive.
"For the players to come back from the international break and to play with the connection and authority, I was really pleased.
"You see what Daizen Maeda gives the team with that relentless appetite to press. When he's in, you fancy him to score."

FT: Hibernian 3-0 St Johnstone
St Johnstone manager Simo Valakari tells BBC Scotland: "I have no complaints [about the result]. We did not play well enough to get anything out of the match.
"We need to own this defeat and learn from it. We came here to win and to test ourselves and we weren't at a good enough level. There's no point in feeling frustrated or angry because we didn't play well enough.
"We did not ask enough questions from the opponent. When we play like we played it was almost impossible. We made the right decisions but maybe the execution was not there. Yes, I'm frustrated for the players because they want to show they are good players and I know they are good players.
"We have a big, big fight ahead of us."

St Mirren assisstant manager Brian Kerr tells BBC Scotland: "We're delighted.
"I think over the last seven, eight weeks, the performance has always been there, the results haven't quite been there and that's been the frustrating thing for us.
"But to go and get the performance and the result today is very pleasing."
On if his side are targeting another top-six finish, he adds: "Yeah, it's always been there for the start of season.
"We knew how difficult it was, we knew how tight the league was, and the ups and downs results and defeats obviously.
"We'll enjoy tonight, we'll make sure everybody's ready to go next week and we'll concentrate fully on Dundee.
"We concentrate on that game, go and hopefully get the result there and then after that we look at what the next steps are."

It was a strange first half because Hearts had Celtic pinned back for the first 15 minutes. Sinisalo made a great save from Neilson, which was critical.
But then Celtic got into their stride and the first goal was exceptional. Right from the back, then McGregor picked the pass for Maeda to finish.
FT: Aberdeen 4-1 Motherwell
Motherwell boss Michael Wimmer tells BBC Scotland: "Aberdeen deserved the win. We started well, went in front, but then Aberdeen were better. We were lucky to go in at half-time at just 2-1 down.
"We started well in the second-half, good in possession, had chances with Tom Sparrow and Luke Armstrong. For 3-1, we defended badly and that was that for us.
"What is not okay for me is the last 15 minutes. We gave up, and I don't like that. It doesn't matter what the result is, we have to fight for 90 minutes."

Celtic were clinical in key moments to simply swat Hearts away and, once again, Daizen Maeda takes the plaudits as another Premiership title closes in.
The fact that there's been hardly a mention of Kyogo Furuhashi since his departure says it all. Maeda has been sensational and his 30 goals tally is quite incredible.
Talks on a new deal might be accelerated as there are bound to be admirers given the qualities he has.
Hearts were impressive early on but after being ripped apart by three excellent goals, it was more about regrouping and avoiding a damaging scoreline. They did and now have two big, big games ahead.

Hibs wrap up their top-six place with a comfortable victory.
That's now 15 Premiership games unbeaten for David Gray's side, with Junior Hoilett, Martin Boyle and Kieron Bowie on target.
St Johnstone were poor and this is a setback in their fight for survival as they remain five points adrift of Dundee, who host Rangers in half an hour.

Given their start to the season, it seems mad that Aberdeen have only just clinched their top six place in late March - but they've done just that today.
They had to work for it after going behind early on to Callum Slattery's header, but they reacted brilliantly to level quickly through Alfie Dorrington.
It was soon 2-1 to the hosts thanks to Leighton Clarkson's superb curled strike, and the game was wrapped up thanks to Kevin Nisbet's second-half double - the second of which was one of the finest strikes this season.
The controversy came from Papa Gueye's first-half tackle. Should the Senegalese striker have stayed on the pitch? He did, winning the corner that resulted in Aberdeen's second.

A marauding run out of defence from Rocky Bushiri sets up a chance for Kieron Bowie, who is clipped as he cuts inside.
Three and easy for Celtic, who move 16 points clear at the top.
Two for Daizen Maeda and one from Jota had the league leaders three up at the break. A quiet second half had the feel of a training session.
Hearts stay in sixth despite the defeat.

A terrific, rampant display from St Mirren as they demolish Kilmarnock and keep their top-six hopes alive.
A double from Caolan Boyd-Munce, a Roland Idowu penalty, and two terrific strikes from Declan John and Mark O'Hara were all goals of real quality for the hosts who were impressive across the park in difficult conditions.

Celtic striker Daizen Maeda scored his 30th goal of the season in the win over Hearts
Brendan Rodgers said Daizen Maeda's latest double in a convincing Scottish Premiership win over Heart of Midlothian - earning the Celtic forward a 30th goal of an incredible campaign - was "not bad for someone who isn't supposedly a goalscorer".
The Celtic manager indicated in the build-up to this fixture that he, and the club, are keen to extend the Japan international's contract, which runs until the summer of 2027.
This was yet another reminder of just why as he scored in an eighth top-flight start in succession.
The in-form forward was involved in Celtic's three goals and, at present, he looks unstoppable in Scotland.
"It's not bad for someone who isn't supposedly a goalscorer," Rodgers said. "I think what everyone is seeing now is his actual finishing quality.
"There is also a variety in his finishing. He's getting in to score his one-v-ones with left foot, right foot and headers. He's got a real good repertoire of finishes."
Hearts came with confidence after suffering just two defeats in their past 14 outings and looking to take a step closer to securing a top-six place.
All eyes were on Viljami Sinisalo, replacing the injured Kasper Schmeichel in the home goal, and he was called into action early as the visitors began on the front foot.
From a corner, the ball fell to Lewis Neilson and the defender's close-range effort was well dealt with by the Finn making just his second Celtic start.
The home side looked a touch troubled at that stage but swiftly ripped Hearts open to brutally seize the three points.
A swift move led to returning captain Callum McGregor releasing Maeda with an inch-perfect through ball and the latter was lethal, firing beyond goalkeeper Craig Gordon for the opener.
A second arrived soon after when Nicolas Kuhn beautifully released Maeda, his header crashed off the inside of a post and winger Jota surged in from the left to slam home.
Hearts persevered and Jeffrey Schlupp had to be alert to block near goal before James Wilson passed up a glorious chance but headed way wide.
With that, any hopes for the away side were extinguished.
Celtic moved swiftly from back to front, Kuhn outpaced the backline and squared for Maeda to tap home yet another goal in what has become a talismanic season for the Japan international.
The outcome was determined by half-time. Hearts changed shape, but Celtic remained in control and cruised to another decisive victory.
It was far from a great start from Celtic, but if you want a lesson in being clinical then this is a great one.
All three goals in the opening half oozed quality and were executed superbly with Maeda once again decisive.
He has found his shooting boots and then some with 11 goals in his last eight Premiership games. Thirty goals this season is a sensational return and he must be a stick on for every player of the year gong going.
It is no wonder Celtic want to extend his deal, which ends in two years' time.
A lot of focus had been on Sinisalo in goal with this being just his second Celtic start.
In that early period, when Hearts looked threatening, he looked confident and very comfortable with the ball at his feet. His early save helped Celtic take control.
The opening period of the game was exactly what visiting head coach Neil Critchley would have been looking for. Hearts troubled Celtic, with Elton Kabangu a nuisance and chances created.
Their shape, though, meant they were likely to be exposed at times and so it proved.
McGregor was afforded too much space for the opener and allowed Maeda to escape in behind all to easily.
He got in behind again way too easily for the second and, for the third, the defence looked brutally open after failing to stop Celtic countering at pace.
The game was done at half-time but not for the want of trying.
Hearts remain sixth and still have a Scottish Cup semi-final to contest. Earlier this season, most supporters would have taken that.
Two fixtures at home to Dundee United and at Motherwell will determine which half of the table they finish in.
Given where they have come from this season, they will likely tackle those games with confidence.
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers: "The way we played through their press for all three goals was really impressive.
"For the players to come back from the international break and to play with that connection and authority, I was really pleased.
"You see what Daizen [Maeda] gives the team with that relentless appetite to press. When he's in, you fancy him to score."
Hearts head coach Neil Critchley: "We know the way that we approach the game is a risk. It's high risk, high reward.
"But I don't really ever want us to be the team what we were in the second half. Giving them half of the pitch, I don't enjoy that.
"I'd much rather see us go for the game and, if sometimes you live by the sword, die by the sword, so be it."
