Hibs survive an early scare in the second half to hold on to all three points and third place in the Premiership.

It was a wonderful first half for David Gray's side who capitalised on a sloppy 45 minutes for United to put themselves two goals to the good at the break.

But United came out like a new side in the second and pulled a goal back thanks to substitute Kevin Trapanovski. They looked like they could have found an equaliser - until substitute Dwight Gayle headed in the third.

St Johnstone's Premiership survival is left hanging by a thread after Kilmarnock brush them aside at McDiarmid Park to move closer to safety.

A fine strike from young midfielder David Watson had the visitors ahead before Danny Armstrong's second-half penalty extended the gap between the sides.

St Johnstone's fourth loss in five league games leaves them are eight points adrift of 10th place with three games to play - and six behind Ross County in 11th.

Meanwhile, Killie are six points above the relegation play-off spot.

Massive win for Hearts, who have all-but secured their Premiership status.

Things were pretty ugly earlier on, with Ronan Hale striking against the run of play and the away fans incensed.

But Lawrence Shankland rode to the rescue, with a ruthless finish in each half, before teeing up Alan Forrest to wrap up the victory.

The captain has had a trying campaign, but he's come up trumps in Liam Fox starts his second spell as interim boss.

For County, though, the relegation fears deepen.

Quite the "game of two halves", this. As poor as United were before the break, they've been completely transformed this half.

Much more like the team we've seen all season. They deservedly pulled a goal back and have looked threatening all half.

They can't quite find an equaliser, though, and Hibs have been dangerous on the break.

Motherwell are down to 10 men as John Koutroumbis is shown a red card for a crunching challenge on Dundee defender Ziyad Larkeche.

The referee initially booked the Motherwell right-back, but it is upgraded to a red after a VAR check.

When the visitors fell behind, you kind of expected Aberdeen to up it and put St Mirren under pressure.

This game seems vital in the race for third given they face Rangers then Celtic.

There's been little to get excited by as the clock ticks on. Zach Hemming has largely been untroubled in the home goal.

United defender Emmanuel Adegboyega looks like he's struggling now as he forces a stoppage to get some treatment.

He's made two really important blocks with Hibs looking a bit more dangerous as the second half rolls on, but it looks like his game could be done.
