Missed opportunity for Saints - Wrightpublished at 17:40
FT: Ross County 1-1 St Johnstone
St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright tells BBC Sportsound: "Huge disappointment, [our] performance deserved all three points.
"I suppose that is a plus, but it is another game where we have dominated Ross County and not come away with anything. They haven't created many chances I'm not sure of a save Zander Clark has had to make second half and we don't deal with situations because people switch off, and don't do a bit of work for the team at the end where we should be in a position to stop the ball coming in the box. But it didn't happen.

"It was an opportunity to gain on the teams above us to get three points it would have taken us above Kilmarnock, took us level points with Hibs and three points closer to Livingston."
'The problem is not in the legs, it's in the head' - Stendelpublished at 17:34
FT Hearts 2-2 Hamilton
Hearts manager Daniel Stendel: "We started very badly. The mentality and the fight in the second half was great but our game was not good enough. What was really, really good today was the fans in the stand.
"It was two easy mistakes and every small chance is a goal at the moment against us. We are all down today.
"When we talked with the players in the last couple of days, the feeling in the squad you'd say was 100% we would win this game today.

"The players said they wanted to do well and we had the confidence to play against Hamilton and take our responsibility.
"The problem is not in the legs, it's in the head. We never give up."
'It's a valuable point' - Kettlewellpublished at 17:28
FT: Ross County 1-1 St Johnstone
Ross County co-manager Stuart Kettlewell tells BBC Sportsound: "We've had a few of them [scoring late goals] over the piece.
"In the last few years, when myself and Steven [Ferguson] have been in charge, we've had a number of them and it's something you pride yourselves on.

"The dressing room has a great feel about it when you have that moment in a game. From our point of view, we felt as though we were off it in the first half.
"St Johnstone were rightfully ahead after 45 minutes. But we were able to rectify it and change our shape. Fortunately, it comes up trumps for us.
"It's a very valuable point and we've just said to the players that we have to ensure that after the next 11 games, we can look back and say it was a vital point in the season."
'I'm gutted not to get three points' - Beuzelinpublished at 17:20
FT: Hearts 2-2 Hamilton
Hamilton Accies assistant manager Guillaume Beuzelin tells BBC Sportsound: "Of course I am proud the performance we put in today, especially with 10 men was brilliant to see. Unfortunately we didn't hold on for the win which if it was 11 v 11 we would have won that game."
"How we started the game was totally different than that against Aberdeen, we wanted a reaction and we got it. We were 2-0 up but unfortunately it wasn't enough because we went down to 10 men.
"It was one of those, was it intentional or unintentional, if the referee calls it as intentional then he is the last defender and rules are rules. It is a tough lesson for the boy but as a club we have to pick him back up again because he is a massive prospect for us.
Image source, SNS"It was great to see because Scott McMann had to cover the left side of a back three when usually he is a left back, Alex Gogic is usually a midfielder and we have to adapt, but I am so proud of the team and I could see them organise themselves and for a young team it was pleasing to see."
"I'm disappointed with the result, Hearts are one of our rivals to stay in the league and I am gutted not to get the three points today."

FULL-TIME Ross County 1-1 St Johnstonepublished at 16:52
Where did that come from? Saints looked to be cruising to victory - courtesy of Stevie May's goal - but a stoppage time equaliser from Billy Mckay rescues a point for County.
FULL-TIME Hearts 2-2 Hamiltonpublished at 16:52
Boos ring out from the home supporters despite seeing Hearts come back to draw with 10-man Hamilton Accies. Daniel Stendel's men found Luke Southwood in great form.
A share of the spoils probably a fair result that does little to ease either clubs relegation worries.
