Headline makers

Dundee United, Heart of Midlothian, Ayr United and Arbroath top the four divisions after the latest round of SPFL fixtures.

Here are a few of the players who made headlines in the Premiership, Championship, League 1 and League 2 at the weekend:

Kenny McLean
Converted a pressure penalty in stoppage time to give St Mirren a 2-1 victory over Partick Thistle at Firhill on Friday night, ending a five-game losing streak for Tommy Craig’s side.

Paul Paton
The former Queen’s Park and Partick Thistle midfielder was outstanding as Dundee United beat Dundee 4-1 at Dens Park on Sunday to go top of the Scottish Premiership.

Jonathan Tiffoney
Had Barry Smith’s Alloa on course for a notable win over Rangers with a first-half header before David Templeton equalised late on in a 1-1 at the Indodrill Stadium.

Dale Carrick
Came off the bench and scored twice in the closing stages to seal an emphatic 5-1 win for Championship leaders Hearts against Cowdenbeath at Tynecastle.

Craig Beattie
The former Scotland striker was introduced as a substitute at Glebe Park and weighed in with a double as Ayr United moved back to the top of League 1 with a 4-2 win over Brechin City.

Sandy Cunningham
The 19-year-old substitute popped up with a late double as Stirling Albion salvaged a 2-2 draw against Forfar Athletic at Forthbank in League 1.

Dylan Carreiro
The Canadian, on loan from Dundee, scored twice in the second half at Broadwood as Arbroath notched up a 5-2 win over Clyde to return to the League 2 summit.

Peter Weatherson
The 34-year-old, who missed most of last season through injury, scored the only goal direct from a free-kick as Annan got the better of East Stirlingshire at Ochilview.
