FT: St Johnstone 2-1 Kilmarnock
St Johnstone interim boss Alex Cleland tells BBC Sportsound: "The effort the boys put in was great tonight. We're delighted, but it's one game. We've got to remember that.
"The club are in the process of finding a new manager. I've been given that job, but the players did the job tonight.
"Some of the performances have been good this season. There's a lot of points to be picked up. Credit to the players and credit to the fans. They can go home happy tonight. it's been a good night.
"Any win gives you confidence. This is such a hard league to pick up points, as we've seen in the game we had. It was important to get the fans back on side with a good performance.
"Brilliant for Nicky [Clark] to come back and get two goals. We had to hang on in the end but I thought we defended great.
Asked whether he wants the job permanently, he says: "The process, we'll leave that for the board upstairs. I said it before Callum [Davidson] was appointed, the board have appointed good managers in my time here. I won't be involved in it [the process], but I'll leave that to those upstairs."

Further signs of improvement for Rangers under new boss Philippe Clement, who had to deal with delays on the Tay Bridge, a much-curtailed pre-match preparation, a late kick-off and a further delay brought about by his own fans.
And he still steered his side to an extremely comfortable away win, preserving in the process his perfect domestic record since arriving in Scotland. Played three, won three.
As for Dundee, this was a night which started badly and just got progressively worse.
But this is just the second defeat in eight games for the dark blues in what has been, with the exception of this 90 minutes, a highly encouraging return to the top flight in Tony Docherty's first job in management.
FT: St Johnstone 2-1 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes tells BBC Sportsound: "We've had a lot of praise as of late, especially for the defensive part, our aggression, our competitiveness. We weren't competitive enough.
"We had two or three chances to clear for the first goal. We don't get tight enough. Nicky Clark follows the strike in like all good strikers. It was a horrible start by us.
"It was such an unusual start from us. Only positive when you concede early goals is you have plenty time to score and work a way into game.
"We weren't working the goalkeeper anywhere near enough. It was important we planted the seed of doubt in them. We huffed and puffed. Even when they went down to 10 men, it didn't do us any favours because they just camped in.
"The performance wasn't too bad overall, but the start was awful. We've got to recognise what we are as a team. We can't start any game like that. Once that ball rolls you've got to be that competitive animal."
FT: Hearts 1-0 Livingston
Livingston manager David Martindale tells BBC Sportsound: "We defended our 18-yard box bar [the goal] extremely well. There was a lot to like in the game, albeit we probably gave away a wee bit too much territory.
"A couple of players were making their Premiership debuts. It's hard to be overcritical of the players because I thought their shape, distances and application within the game was there.
"No-one likes losing games of football, but there is a way of losing football and tonight was a lot closer to that than it has been in the previous two games."
FT: Celtic 2-1 St Mirren
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Sportsound: "Obviously not happy with the result. We started really brightly, scored a wonderful goal, and then we sat back and we were negative.
"We spoke about it at half-time and credit to the players, they reacted to that. We were much more disciplined defensively, got our line much higher.
"Their goal was a wonderful one to win it, but they certainly knew they were in a game.
"It's a negative in terms of the result, but we wont be taking any negativity for too long. All the good bits we did, we have to keep improving on those.
"There's a big disparity between the clubs but there's not a huge disparity in terms of the playing staff, because when you're organised and disciplined you can show your quality within that. Zach Hemming has produced three or four world-class saves and we had opportunities to grab a draw.
"We'll go into the game against Hibs really confident."
The longest match in history comes to an end.
It was easy peasy for Rangers, who put five past Trevor Carson at Dens Park.
FT: Hearts 1-0 Livingston
Hearts head coach Steven Naismith tells BBC Sportsound: "There was a real control about the performance. If you are going to be a Hearts player, you need to have that calmness because as soon as you become more desperate, you lose the quality of chances.
"We created good chances, but it was about control and patience. All our creative players had an impact today, everyone contributed, everyone was probing. It was a confident performance that I'm happy with.
"When teams are comfortable here getting a point as a good result, it means we have to be more aggressive."
On Kenneth Vargas' goal, he added: "He has real quality and tonight showed that. His movement was brilliant and his composure was great."
James Tavernier (pen)
No chance for Trevor Carson, who dives the right way but is done by the power.

FT: Celtic 2-1 St Mirren
Martin Dowden
BBC Sport Scotland at Celtic Park
Celtic came into this after a frustrating draw at Easter Road, perhaps feeling the intensity of their schedule. Brendan Rodgers made a few changes that didn’t seem to pay-off, with the recent stand-out Matt O’Riley largely nullified outside his assist for Celtic’s leveller.
Turnbull did made an impact with that sensational equaliser but his penalty miss would potentially have made this a far more straight-forward evening for his side had he converted. He took his opportunity to stake a starting claim and then seemed to hand some of that back.
It was Oh, though, who did take his chance and, finally, delivered a goal could prove so important in the long run. For him and Celtic.
St Mirren are a side bang in form. They came out with a clear plan and it so nearly paid off. They rode their luck at times but offered an overall performance that showed why they are where they are. When they fell behind they mustered a threat despite that blow.
They are a very good side and this experience at Celtic Park will only add to their belief. There’s no reason why St Mirren can’t stay in third. None at all.
FT: Celtic 2-1 St Mirren
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Sportsound: "You have to keep grinding in games like that. We made a slow start - just too passive, weren't aggressive enough with or without the ball, and they deservedly went in front.
"After that we sped up the game, a fantastic strike from David Turnbull and that settled us back down.
"They are very well coached so we knew they would have moments, but in the main we kept going. We should have gone in front, we missed the penalty, and that's something as a team we have to be better at.
"Second half we kept going, and the subs come in and make the impact you want.
"The winning goal is a real testament to the calmness and quality of the team. In the right moment we speed up the game and Oh scores a great goal.
"In the midst of a busy period it's a really important win."
Cyriel Dessers
The goals are getting dished out at Dens.
Dessers is sent in behind and he calmly sticks it past Trevor Carson.
Dundee are utterly furious because referee Kevin Clancy has impeded Luke McCowan, who was about to pick up the ball up the other end.
Goal stands.
A wee reminder that Sportscene will be on BBC One Scotland at 22:40 GMT.
Fair to assume that the game at Dens will be last.

If Sam Lammers keeps doing that, the fans will definitely change their minds and get right behind him.
It's a fabulous strike.

Well, well. Has Sam Lammers finally announced his arrival in Scottish football?
Lovely skill to set himself up and a beautiful, strong shot to settle the points for Rangers. A glimpse of what he can do after a very slow start to his Rangers career

Billy Dodds
Former Rangers striker on BBC Sportsound
It's a brilliant goal, best goal of the night.
It wasn't the best lay-off, but Lammers leaves two players for dead. What a hit, it's a rocket.
He's had a hard time recently, but my word, he's answered the Rangers fans there.
Sam Lammers
What a goal that is.
Sam Lammers gets the ball on the edge of the box, touches it on to his left foot to get away from two players, and smashes it in off the bar.
Stunning. Just his second Rangers goal.

Rangers are thoroughly enjoying their night, something that probably seemed unlikely when they were stuck on the Tay Bridge, delaying kick-off for 45 minutes.
They've scored two but could easily have had double that. Dundee have never really got going, but for one glorious chance that Amadou Bakayoko ought to have buried.
