Joy for Jags

Partick Thistle will be playing Premiership football again next season after beating Hearts 4-2 at Tynecastle on Wednesday night.

Lyle Taylor cancelled out Callum Paterson's opener but Danny Wilson had Gary Locke's men ahead at half-time. Gary Fraser equalised just after the interval and Lee Mair and Kallum Higginbotham struck to give Alan Archibald's side victory as they moved up to seventh in the table.

Kilmarnock, who had James Fowler sent off late on, earned a crucial 1-0 win over St Mirren at Rugby Park to move out of the bottom two. Kris Boyd's goal means Hibernian now occupy the relegation play-off place ahead of their Easter Road clash with Killie on Saturday.

Motherwell moved to within one point of second-placed Aberdeen thanks to John Sutton's penalty and a Garry Warren own goal as they beat Inverness CT 2-1 at Fir Park. Graeme Shinnie reduced the deficit in 55 minutes but Stuart McCall's men held on.

St Johnstone hit back to draw 3-3 with Celtic at McDiarmid Park. Tim Clancy scored early on for Saints but a Kris Commons penalty and goals from Teemu Pukki and Virgil van Dijk had the visitors seemingly in command, only for youngster Scott Brown and Michael O'Halloran to earn Tommy Wright's team a point with two late goals.
