That's enough from me. Congratulations to Ross County on another win that keeps this remarkable run going. St Mirren weren't at the races and their nine-year stay in the top flight is surely at an end.

There will be online highlights of the match available after midnight.

Motherwell certainly look favourites for that play-off place now, 10 points ahead of lowly St Mirren but now six behind Ross County and seven adrift of Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock going into the five post-split games.

The team finishing 11th will need to beat either Hibernian, Rangers or Queen of the South from the Championship over two legs.

Paul Godsman: #bbcscotfootball Another great win for County! Could Stuart McCall relegate Motherwell In the play offs? #writteninthestars"

The Gambler: "Who gets the St Mirren job now ? Billy Stark or Barry Smith? surely Stark has a chance of getting it! #bbcscotfootball"

St Mirren manager Gary Teale on BBC Radio Scotland

"The goals we concede are very soft. That's been the story of our season.

"I don't think there was much in it before the goal and then the confidence drains away and we lose a bit of our discipline.

"We lost one centre-half through injury and another to a red card, which doesn't make it easy.

"We need to pick ourselves up and maybe freshen things up with a few boys from the academy to see if they are ready."

Ross County manager Jim McIntyre on BBC Radio Scotland

"From the goal onwards it looked like there was only one side going to win the game.

"Six points is not enough. We were six points behind before we went on this run. We know we're in for five huge games. Teams aren't going to hand us points.

"Liam Boyce has put in so much work. He came from part-time football and he had a lot of weight to shift. He's been an integral part of what we've done."

County are safe from finishing last but they could yet fall back into 11th place.

County's eighth win in an unbeaten nine-game run lifts them six points above Motherwell in the play-off place and means they are just one point behind Kilmarnock and Partick Thistle.

"I' m delighted and it's sweet because it's come in a relegation battle.

"We're not safe yet, especially since we'll be playing all the teams around us, so we need to keep on picking up points.

"It takes time for ideas and new players to gel and we're fitter now - we're squeezing the life out of teams."

That's a first top flight hat-trick for a Ross County player.

An eighth defeat in nine games means St Mirren can finish no higher than 11th even if they win every game after the split.

Liam Boyce is smiling from ear-to-ear as he tucks the match ball under his arm. The visitors have now picked up 25 points from a possible 27, which is just incredible.

Hat-trick for Liam Boyce. St Mirren are split wide open as Jackson Irvine slides in a pass for Tony Digwall to drill the ball across the penalty area and the Irish striker wants it more as he bangs in his third goal of the night.

That's 90 minutes up, we'll get two more...

As the match in Paisley peters out, here's a view of the moment Liam Boyce smashed in his second goal of the evening.

County forward Craig Curran is also off to the dressing room early as he makes way for Darvydas Sernas.

Filip Kiss gets on for the last eight minutes or so, with Martin Woods getting a breather.

Liam Boyce is chasing a hat-trick as he turns to slam in a low shot from 20 yards. It's straight down the middle but Mark Ridgers has a wee fumble before getting the ball into his hands.

St Mirren's Kieran Sadlier gets his floppy fringe to a good cross from Gregg Wylde but there is no power on the header and Mark Brown is completely unflustered as he scoops the ball up at his near post.

Rafa Da Vita, yet to play in a losing Ross County side, applauds the small band of travelling fans as he makes way for Tony Dingwall.

Game over. Liam Boyce does get his second goal of the evening as he controls a cross from Michael Gardyne on his chest before poking the ball through the legs of Jim Goodwin and smashing a shot past Mark Ridgers. Nice work...

Liam Boyce stoops to get his head on Martin Woods' corner but can't steer it on target from close in. He should really be doubling his tally for the night from there.
