That's all from me.

We'll be back tomorrow with more Scottish Premiership coverage, join us then 👍

Hibernian manager Jack Ross tells BBC Scotland: "We had to be resilient. I don't think we had as much control of the game as I would have liked but we carried a threat.

"We made [Hamilton goalkeeper] Ryan Fulton work often enough during the game and we took two of those opportunities really well."

Tune in to Sportscene at 19:30 GMT on the BBC Scotland channel to watch highlights of today's Scottish Premiership matches.

Here's the running order...

Motherwell v St Johnstone

Hibernian v Hamilton

Aberdeen v Kilmarnock

St Mirren v Livingston

Two more top-flight games tomorrow with leaders Rangers at home to Dundee United before second-placed Celtic face hosts Ross County.

The top two both had midweek games, with Celtic narrowly beating Aberdeen 1-0 on Wednesday and Rangers edging Royal Antwerp 4-3 in that incredible Europa League first leg on Thursday.

United are going for a third straight win after seeing off County and Livingston. The Staggies' home defeat by Dundee United on 6 February was their last outing.

Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes is a happy man after his side's much-needed victory.

"We spoke before the game about the importance of a winning performance, not just a good performance," he tells BBC Sportsound.

"We started really well and got on top of things in the middle of the park.

"My heart sunk when Fraser Hornby went off injured - it looks a bad one but hopefully he won't be out too long.

"Callum Hendry isn't the biggest but it was a fantastic header and great goal - I'm delighted for him. That first goal was always going to be so important to put adrenaline and confidence in the team.

"1-0 is a great result for us and in light of where we've been it's such an important three points."

Livingston manager David Martindale also bemoaned the conditions in Paisley and told BBC Scotland: "I never gave the boys enough credit in the first half. For the first 10 minutes of the game we couldn't get out of our own half due to the weather.

"It became pretty evident when Robby [McRorie] started kicking a few and they were spinning back on to him.

"I don't think the rain stopped since we arrived at the stadium so I think on the balance of play a draw is probably a fair result but I do think we made the better chances throughout the game."

On preparing for the League cup final next week, he added: "We can't take anything from today bar a sore head. I think I watched most of the game with my snood over my eyes. It'll be a really easy week from my point of view. The boys know what's a stake so it's easy for them to get up for it."

"Not good enough" is Motherwell boss Graham Alexander's simple summation of his side's grim reverse at home to St Johnstone. He refuses to highlight the slew of first-team absentees as an excuse for the performance.

"We didn’t compete at the right level, pass at the right level, run at the right level," Alexander tells BBC Scotland. "It’s a bad combination when you’re going into a competitive game against a good team and we didn’t show any of the things we needed to win a game of football.

"There are some big players [missing] that are a big part of our team and what we’ve done recently but do we use that as an excuse and stand behind it, or do we actually stand up and take responsibility? Because when I looked, we had 11 players, they had 11 players. It’s not an excuse.

"For the team we put out, I still expected better. Collectively – and I include myself in that - we weren’t good enough. We have to use it as a reality check and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

"There’s no magic fairy to come and sprinkle dust on us and all of a sudden we’re this super, wonderful team. It has to be hard work and commitment. That’s real clear and real simple. We have to work exceptionally hard before Wednesday when we go to St Mirren and show that this is a blip in our current form."

Hamilton manager Brian Rice angrily remonstrated with referee Craig Napier at the final whistle after Jamie Hamilton was sent off after just 12 minutes.

However, he chose his words more carefully when speaking to BBC Scotland.

He said: "It doesn't matter what my view is. I'm not getting myself into trouble. The referee on the pitch was saying yellow card and someone from the sidelines was saying red card. It's done and dusted, can't do anything about it and I'm not getting myself into trouble.

"It changed the course of the game 100% because I think we were on top."

St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "If there's ever an argument for summer football this game was it, it was terrible.

"We were pinning Livingston back in the first half and then gave away a really silly free-kick, which Livingston are very good at.

"We probably didn't take advantage of the wind in our backs in the first half.

"All in all a point was fair but the conditions were horrendous."

Kilmarnock manager Tommy Wright tells BBC Scotland:"Disappointed we didn't get something. We deserved a draw, but contributed to our own downfall again.

"It's a very soft free-kick but we gave Callum Hendry a free header. We had a great chance to equalise with Nicke Kabamba when Joe Lewis made a good save.

"Second half we had a lot of possession and one or two opportunities.

"There's a lot of plusses in in the performance. Kyle Lafferty coming on, Gary Dicker and Youssouf Mulumbu did well, Mitch Pinnock had a good game.

"But I've told them they have to face up to the facts that we didn't defend a situation well. We can't keep making those basic mistakes."

St Johnstone swept Motherwell aside, eight days before taking on Livingston in the Scottish League Cup final.

A very happy St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson tells BBC Radio Scotland: "First half we were tremendous, worked extremely hard and got into really good areas and Guy Melamed’s finish was terrific.

"We got the second goal at the right time. It became more of a fight and we showed we can roll our sleeves up and battle and still got into really good areas.

"With Guy, if we play two strikers, he is one of the first names on the team sheet. When we play with one, it’s difficult for him. He’s getting to know Scottish football better and his contribution in the last three or four games has been brilliant.

"I can only pick 11 players for next week, but we’ve come through today’s game with three points. One little niggle to David Wotherspoon - hopefully he’ll be okay for next week.

"Today, I wasn't thinking about the final. I said to the players, 'I want three points'."

Two more games in the Scottish Premiership tomorrow of course, but what have the eight sides who played today got coming up?

St Mirren meet Motherwell on Wednesday then host Ross County next Saturday, when Well travel to take on Hibernian.

Aberdeen visit Celtic Park next Saturday while Kilmarnock host Dundee United.

Livingston and St Johnstone are not in league action next weekend as they contest Sunday's Scottish League Cup final.

Hamilton do not play until they welcome St Johnstone on the evening of 3 March.

Hearts are still well placed at the top of the Scottish Championship, despite only picking up a point today. At the other, Alloa remain five points adrift with a game in hand.

No change in positions today but Hibernian, Aberdeen and St Johnstone have all strengthened their places.

Dundee United and Ross County can move up the table if they get positive results tomorrow but respective opponents Rangers and Celtic will have ideas of their own.

Fewer second-half goals than there were in the first with Hibernian and St Johnstone bolstering their advantage. A narrow win for Aberdeen and a draw between St Mirren and Livingston. Full classified results and updated table to follow...
