FT: St Mirren 0-1 Dundee United
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland:"Very disappointed with the result. We're in a moment where things aren't going right for us.
"There are plenty of good things. I don't know how many chances we need to score a goal. The amount of crosses we put in and half-chances we had, but the disappointing thing is we haven't hit the target often enough - which we work on tirelessly.
"The final product is missing. We have been scoring goals up to now, we've created and missed a lot of chances.
"And we've conceded from their only real chance of the game. We don't deal with the second phase well enough.
"It's a moment. I've been here plenty times at St Mirren and other clubs and it's about getting people together, putting the best team out available to me and working on it over the break."
FT: Dundee 2-3 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Scotland: "We did it the hard way. The second [Dundee] goal came out of nothing. We had a lot to do at that point with so few minutes left. But boy, we did it.
"It was a brilliant turnaround. Matty Kennedy carried the fight for us, always producing shots and crosses. Rory McKenzie and Brad Lyons ran the game and kept us going. Gary Mackay-Steven, Bruce Anderson and Bobby Wales were terrific.
"It's something I'm maybe guilty of - not making my forward changes quicker - and I accept that. We got the benefit of it today. When we put the ball in the box, it looked like something would happen.
"On the second half, it's no more than my players deserve. We're having to do so much to win a game. I'm delighted to win the game but there's things we need to be better at. It wasn't perfect, but it was a perfect ending."
FT: St Mirren 0-1 Dundee United
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin: "Any win away from home is massive. But I don't need to guess what game your guys in the Sportscene studio will be showing last this weekend because it wasn't easy on the eye at times!
"It was a really scrappy game and St Mirren are such a difficult team to play against because of their physicality. They get the ball forward early and you've got to defend your box.
"We didn't do that for a 15-20 minute period last week against Kilmarnock and found ourselves conceding three goals. So, we worked a lot on the defensive shape this week and I thought we defended brilliantly.
"We felt at half-time whoever got that first goal was going to win the game. Thankfully, Manny Adegboyega was the first one to react and head home.
"It's a huge three points. We want to play better and we have played better this season - but you've got to credit the opposition. They don't give you a lot of time on the ball."
FT: Hibernian 1-2 Motherwell
Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell tells BBC Scotland: "We didn't show what we can be as a team in the first half, I thought we addressed that right at the start of the second half.
"We then started to grow in confidence and I need to commend my goalkeeper again.
"We rallied round Stephen O'Donnell after his error and we get what is a brilliant victory for us.
"The motivator always has to be consistency now."
FT: Arbroath 1-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Earlier this week, it was revealed Inverness Caledonian Thistle were aiming to raise £200,000 in two weeks to avoid being placed in administration this month.
Inverness travelled to Gayfield today and lost 1-0 through Gavin Reilly's goal midway through the second half.
Keith Watson was sent off for the hosts in added time after receiving a second booking but it did not affect the result as Arbroath moved three points clear of Inverness, who slipped below their victors and fell from from sixth to ninth as Annan Athletic and Cove Rangers won their games to move up the table.
FT: Falkirk 2-0 Ayr United
Falkirk moved level on points with Scottish Championship leaders Ayr United following Ethan Ross' double against the Honest Men today.
The Bairns could go top by beating Livingston on Tuesday evening.

FT: St Mirren 0-1 Dundee United

Far, far from a classic here in Paisley but try telling that to the 1,000-strong Tangerine travelling support who’re delighted to be heading back up to Tayside with all three points. They're celebrating long and loudly here after the final whistle, not for the first time.
They've been really good on the road, Dundee United, with two wins and two draws already this season. It's the kind of form that just might keep them in the top six if they can replicate their away displays at Tannadice.
St Mirren just lacked the quality to trouble United today, not really doing all that much with the possession they had. Neither side played wonderfully well, you have to say, but that won't bother Dundee United for a second. The sides did a good job of cancelling each other out and the footballers both sides possess were never really able to influence things overly.
After escaping the Championship, it's so far, so good, for United on their return to the top flight.

Motherwell are now level on points with Rangers, who are third and host St Johnstone tomorrow evening.
Dundee United are a point behind Well and have opened up a four-point gap on today's opponents St Mirren.
Kilmarnock leap two places to ninth and join opponents Dundee on six points, though the Dens Park side have a better goal difference.
Three Scottish Premiership games, three away victories. Let's have a look at the table...
Matty Kennedy's 94th-minute strike completed Kilmarnock's incredible turnaround at Dens Park, after they trailed 10-man Dundee by two goals with 10 minutes to go.
The late goal also gave Kilmarnock their first win of the season after a run of seven games without a victory.
Strikes from Ziyad Larkeche and Oluwaseun Adewumi looked certain to give Tony Docherty a first win over former boss Derek McInnes, despite Mo Sylla being harshly sent off just before half-time.
But late strikes from Kennedy and Bruce Anderson restored parity before Kennedy tapped in at the back post to turn the scoreline on its head.
Both sides now sit on six points after seven games, with Dundee sitting one place ahead in eighth on goal difference.

Hibs' poor start to the campaign is extended by Motherwell, who keep themselves fourth in the table.
Andy Halliday's late winner was the difference at Easter Road after David Gray's wasteful side went down to 10 men.
Apostolos Stamatelopoulos had put Well in front only for Junior Hoilett to equalise.

Matty Kennedy
They've done it! They've done it!
A first win of the season is surely secured after Matty Kennedy's tap-in at the back post after Bobby Wales' fantastic run and cut-back.
