Kilmarnock moved up to third in the Scottish Premiership after Gary Dicker's second goal in two games is enough to beat St Mirren at Rugby Park.

Dicker had scored his first goal in 94 games in the win over Livingston, and his second half header was enough to settle a tight contest Ayrshire.

It means Killie have lost just once in their last eight games. However, the home side had Scotland defender Stuart Findlay stretchered off in the first half with a leg injury.

St Mirren are now just a point ahead of bottom club St Johnstone.

St Johnstone needed that and they got there in the end but they made hard work of it, needing a late, late goal from substitute Callum Hendry to kill off the always spirited Accies.

A first win of the season lifts Saints to within a point of Hibs, Hearts and St Mirren.

Pretty rubbish really. There were a lot of skirmishes in the first half but the game died a death after the interval as the hosts held on comfortably despite a red card for Aymen Souda.

Ross County scored two great goals to haul themselves back into the game but the story is going to be all about Hibs chucking away yet another lead.

That's five league games in a row now that they have failed to win from a winning position. Incredible.

Hibs were in total control when Scott Allan added to Daryl Horgan's opener but Brian Graham and Joe Chalmers fired in cracking efforts from outside the box.

Deafening boos from the home fans. Manager Paul Heckingbottom, stuck in the stand serving a suspension, is taking all sorts of stick.

Kilmarnock's Chris Burke is angry at himself as he throws himself at Mohamed El Makrini's fizzing ball across goal, but puts diverts it past the post.

Hibernian 2-1 Ross County

Worrying signs for the Hibs fans as Scott Allan goes down and the medical team give the signal for a substitute.

Allan trudges off and Adam Jackson, a defender by trade, bounds on to replace him.

Handball. Murray Davidson the culprit.

USE YOUR LEFT FOOT!!!

That is no doubt the phrase tumbling out of Tommy Wright's mouth aimed in the direction of David Wotherspoon, with maybe an expletive or two added.

A pinpoint cross by Drey Wright on the right drops to the back post with Wotherspoon waiting. The goal is gaping for a left foot tap in, instead, he tries a reverse outside-of-the-foot flick while in mid air, which unsurprisingly flies over the bar.

If he hadn't already scored twice, we might be having a go at him for that... What a chance for a hat-trick!

Oh my word. Not 60 seconds after planting the ball in the Hibs net with such confidence, Graham misses an absolute sitter.

He canters on to a swerving ball from the left, but somehow heads wide at the near post.

That was significantly easier to stick away than the wonder-goal he just scored.

Hibs off the hook, but boy, are they teetering.

St Mirren's Tony Andreu races through on goal but knocks his shot wide under pressure from Dario Del Fabro.

More concerning for the Buddies man though is he is still on the ground and manager Jim Goodwin is assessing his options on the bench, and it looks like Junior Morias will be joining the action.

Hibs should be further ahead but the home fans will be feeling pretty good after smart finishes from Daryl Horgan and Scott Allan.

This would be just a second win of the league campaign for the Leith side.
