Before that Motherwell goal, St Johnstone created a spot of bother from a free kick given by Celtic goalie Logan Bailly sliding out of the penalty area with the ball in his arms. A Liam Craig fizzer reaches Brian Easton at the back post but his shot is blocked by a team-mate in blue.

While the thoughts of some players may already be drifting to beach holidays, Kilmarnock certainly cannot ease up.

Killie will be up against either Falkirk or Hibernian in the play-off final, so manager Lee Clark has two more matches to get his troops ready for that test of mettle.

Recent displays have been wildly inconsistent, with big wins over St Johnstone and Hamilton followed by dismal showings against Inverness and Partick.

And we're off in all of the other matches...

Ryan Christie dances his way to the byline and stands up a lovely cross to the back post where Leigh Griffiths is lurking. The Celtic striker powers in a header but it's beaten away by Zander Clark.

"Inverness have no intention of letting up in the final two games of the season. John Hughes wants his side to finish at the top of the bottom half of the table, and maximise the prize money generated from this campaign for his recruitment budget. He has chosen a strong, experienced side to face Hamilton, who can now play without pressure having secured their Premiership place for next season. Both teams seek to play good, passing football, so even if the competitive edge wanes, the quality should still be evident."

Martin Dowden

"With a number of experienced Motherwell players negotiating contracts and being asked to take cuts, it's perhaps more vital for them to win this one and win the extra prize money for coming at least fifth. However, County will want to sign off in style in their last home match."

I don't think Leigh Griffiths has touched the ball yet. He's not going to get to 40 goals unless he gets a pass.

A big up-and-under is hoisted into the Celtic box and goalkeeper Logan Bailly is left alone to deal with it under pressure from three Saints players. The understudy goalkeeper copes well with the odds and punches it away.

No sign of any goalmouth action as both sides probe for an opening. The visiting fans are making a good old racket...

We're up and running in Perth...

McDiarmid Park is basking in lovely evening sunshine as the home side form a guard of honour for champions Celtic.

Leigh Griffiths was celebrating on Sunday as Celtic wrapped up their fifth consecutive title with a 3-2 win over Aberdeen.

For the first time this season, the striker did not manage a goal against the Dons, leaving him on 39 for the season.

PFA Scotland's player of the year is suspended for Celtic's final home match of the season when they get their hands on the trophy, so I fancy he'll be in the mood tonight.

St Johnstone are well placed to finish fourth, with a weekend victory at Fir Park taking them four points clear of nearest challengers Motherwell.

There will be no European reward this time, ending a run of four consecutive seasons of continental adventure. The die-hard fans will miss a trip or two but the players might just be glad of an extended break.
