County condemned to relegation play-off against Raith
St Johnstone reach safety with final-day win
Livingston 1-1 Hibernian - Maolida with opener but Anderson hits back
Motherwell 1-2 St Johnstone - Clark converts delicious Carey cross & Sidibeh heads in second; Bair misses penalty against former club before Moses nets
Ross County 2-2 Aberdeen - Murray gives hosts lead but Sokler & McGrath hit back; Dhanda levels from spot after MacDonald sent off
Motherwell 0-2 St Johnstone
Adama Sidibeh is played in behind, but his touch right in front of goal lets him down and Bevis Mugabi gets back to make a tackle.
That was a great chance to finish this game for Saints.
And it's offside! That was so, so tight.
It might have been Ester Sokler's forehead that was offside. Inches, really.
Will that give Ross County the boost they need?
Still checking...
Ross County 1-2 Aberdeen
Almost another disaster for Ross County as Ester Sokler taps in on the rebound after Junior Hoilett's shot comes back off the post.
The offside flag is raised but will VAR take a different view?
Motherwell 0-2 St Johnstone

St Johnstone can't start clock watching and just get deeper and deeper and deeper.
Motherwell 0-2 St Johnstone
Theo Bair comes alive in the box, but his effort his blocked.
Motherwell have come from 2-0 down against St Johnstone before this season. Back in November, when Craig Levein took charge for the first time.
So as long as St Johnstone stay in front at Motherwell, Ross County need two goals in the second half against Aberdeen.
A mountain to climb to avoid the play-offs.

A big cheer goes round the upper tier of the south stand here in Motherwell.
The St Johnstone fans have just heard that Jamie McGrath has just put Aberdeen 2-1 up at Ross County.
With the scoreline here 2-0 in their favour, the travelling fans sense survival.
Jamie McGrath
It's all going wrong for Ross County.
Moments after Connor Randall went close for the hosts, Aberdeen press with Junior Hoilett getting the break of the ball and crossing low for Jamie McGrath to finish.

Hibs hit the front.
A loose ball on the edge of the area is picked up my Maolida, who buries the ball at the second attempt.
Only a third shot on target of this game.

Stuart Kettlewell, the home boss, isn't messing about at 2-0 down.
Jack Vale replaces Harry Paton for the second half
For one final time this Premiership season, we're back under way.
The play-off spot looms...
Players making their way out onto their respective pitches.
HUGE 45 minutes of football to come.
Motherwell 0-2 St Johnstone
What a signing this guy has been for St Johnstone.
That penalty save could be ENORMOUS for Saints.

What a half of football that was. No end of season feel here, with St Johnstone trying to preserve their Premiership status. They're making a more than decent fist of it, aren't they?
it's all about Graham Carey. A deliciously wicked delivery for Nicky Clark to clip in the opener, and then another quality ball in which drew the mistake from the Motherwell defence which allowed Adama Sidibeh in for the second.
Add to that a fabulous penalty save from the ever-impressive Dimitar Mitov in the Saints goal, and you have a scenario, as things stand at half-time, where St Johnstone stay up and Ross County play Raith Rovers in the top-flight play-off.
Plenty can still happen, of course, in the upcoming hour.

Huge team talk for this man. Probably the biggest of his young managerial career.
As it stands, Ross County need a goal with St Johnstone in control at Fir Park.
Image source, SNSA pretty brutal half of football, that.
Livingston enjoyed the best of the first quarter, but Hibs came into a little more towards the break without truly testing Shamal George.
Jojo Wollocatt made a superb save to deny a Michael Nottingham header, but that's been about it.
Image source, SNSJob half done for St Johnstone.
Their big players have stepped up in the first half. Graham Carey provided the sublime cross, Nicky Clark finished.
Dimitar Mitov saved Theo Bair's penalty. And then Adama Sidibeh, who grabbed the crucial late equaliser against County on Wednesday to keep Saints alive, nodded in goal number two after a mix up in the Motherwell defence.

All three league meetings between Motherwell and St. Johnstone this season have been drawn; the last fixture to be drawn four times in a Scottish top-flight campaign was Dunfermline Athletic v Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2011-12 (Dundee v Kilmarnock could also be drawn four times this season).
St. Johnstone have only lost one of their last eight league meetings with Motherwell (W3 D4), and are unbeaten in their last three such away visits (W2 D1).
After their 4-1 win over Livingston, Motherwell are looking to win back-to-back home league games for just a second time this season, after doing so in their first two such matches.
St. Johnstone must win this match and hope Ross County fail to beat Aberdeen to avoid a place in the play-offs. The Saints have, however, lost 19 league games this season, last losing 20+ in a top-flight campaign in 2001-02 (27), when they were last relegated.
St. Johnstone’s Craig Levein has lost each of his last four MD38 games in the Scottish top-flight, twice with Dundee United (2007-08, 2008-08) and twice with Hearts (2017-18, 2018-19). He last avoided defeat on the final matchday in a season in the top tier in 2006-07, when his Dundee United side drew 0-0 with Motherwell, while his last such win was also over Motherwell with Hearts in 2003-04 (3-2).
