FT: Falkirk 5-1 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann tells BBC Scotland: "It doesnt help when you lose a goal in the first minute. We were beaten by the better team today, without question.
"I've got no gripes. Falkirk wanted it more, they were aggressive, up for it and it could have been more.
"We just come up well short. We faced a side that wanted it more, that won't be accepted. It's a sobering day for us and a reality check.
"We've had plenty of plaudits with how we were playing. But football is a hard game and if you don't turn up and play at your best that's what happens to you."
FT: Dundee 3-3 Hibernian
Hibernian head coach David Gray tells BBC Scotland: "Very mixed [emotions], just due to the nature of a whirlwind game. To lose a goal with the very last kick feels like two points dropped.
"What's massively let us down today is the goals we've conceded. We were the better side but the defending has cost us.
"The players then showed incredible character to be 2-1 down, to then go 3-2 up. The subs came on and impacted the game.
"The players are hurting though. The story is that we've come to a tough place, scored three goals and only got a point. That shows you where we've let ourselves down today."

Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "Motherwell have only suffered one defeat in the league since the middle of October so we always knew we were going to be up against it.
"I thought the shape in the first half was really good, we denied Motherwell any real clear-cut goalscoring opportunities.
"The game is turned on the penalty decision as far as I'm concerned. Motherwell didn't have a shot on target prior to the penalty kick being awarded. I have no idea why VAR are getting involved in that incident.
"The referee didn't deem it violent conduct otherwise he would have sent Vicko Sevelj off the park. That type of pushing a player away happens 100 times in a game, every weekend, and today, for some reason, we find ourselves with a penalty kick awarded against us. Every week we're talking about VAR and the refereeing in the country and it doesn't look like it's going to get better any time soon.
"We go in 1-0 down at half time extremely disappointed because we didn't feel we deserved to be behind. The second goal was a real killer for us, terrible timing and that made life even more difficult."
FT: Livingston 1-1 St Mirren
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Sport Scotland: "I think it's a point gained.
"Any point away from home is a positive, we felt we could add three points, they had that one opportunity and score from it, it's a long looking ball into the box, we just didn't defend it properly.
"We had numbers there, so really disappointed.
"We concede from a big long ball into the box, oher than that, we scored a great goal, we hit the crossbar, we should have scored again when Dan [Nlundulu] went through and Mika [Mandron] has the follow-up and then the game's put to bed.
"Nobody comes here and rolls them over, nobody. It's a difficult surface, we know that, as I said, it's a point gained, another point away from the bottom.
"We looked a lot more solid, we worked a lot harder, we pressed the ball a lot better, so there lot of positives to it as well, we had some good opportunities."
FT: Hearts 1-0 Aberdeen
Hearts head coach Derek McInnes tells BBC Sportsound: "The performance, when you look at the stats and how it felt in there, as if it was more than a 1-0 but we only get the one goal and that's the only thing we're really disappointed with.
"We needed Tynecastle to be like that. We needed to play forward, we needed to pass forward. We needed to try and put Aberdeen under stress. I thought we did that. We scored a really good goal. In the main, we defended really well. As a team, we were thoroughly deserving of the three points.
"Still a lot of football to play. Twenty-seven points to be won or lost. It's the business end of the season where everything gets decided and all we've done is put ourselves in a good position to try and take that on but nobody's getting carried away."

Dundee head coach Steven Pressley tells BBC Scotland: "It was a terrific game of football, both sides going out there to try and win.
"Hibs are a great side and have really good quality, but I thought for 80 minutes we were excellent. We did some great things and once we got our noses in front, we just lost a bit of composure.
"Credit to Hibs, they made some really positive changes and found themselves a goal ahead.
"But it says everything about our team at present that from a position of winning, to then being behind, we didn't give up. We kept going and going until that final whistle, and we got a very much deserved point."
Image source, SNSFT: Falkirk 5-1 Kilmarnock
Falkirk manager John McGlynn tells BBC Scotland: "It's got to be up there. It was a great start, we came out of the blocks flying. It's an own goal, but Calvin Miller's produced a bit of magic, and we build on it.
"We scored a goal we didn't get, then Barney wins a header at the front post, Dylan puts it in, then we get the third goal and we're cruising.
"Fair play to Killie they get a goal back and it's game on but then we score early in the second half and add to it.
"It's definitely up there with one of our best of the season. Great to bounce back from defeat by Hearts last week.
"The guys answered me today - they've run and run and run. There was a great tempo about the game and great entertainment for the fans.
"You can hear they're enjoying their football."
FT: Livingston 1-1 St Mirren
Livingston manager Marvin Bartley tells BBC Sport Scotland: "I let the players know at half-time our first half performance was too far off of what I expect.
"But ultimately when you're not at your best it's important not to lose games of football and today we managed to get a point.
"My biggest thing with the players is mistakes are always going to happen, it's about your reaction and we just felt a little bit nervous out there today.
"It's seven points at this moment in time, nine games to go. It's something that can be turned around really, really quickly. We'll keep chipping away until we get to the split and then we'll see where we're at, but this team's more than good enough to do so.
"You know we will not give up. We will get out of this situation we're currently in."
FT: Motherwell 2-0 Dundee United
Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou tells BBC Scotland: "It was difficult to play around them because of their man-marking. It was a lot about changing positions and counter-movements to open up space. When we got the ball down we played some really good football.
In terms of work-rate and willingness to run for each other, I think it was absolutely outstanding.
"The defensive discipline gave us full control of the game that was, at times, quite lively.
"We really deserved that clean sheet because we gave absolutely nothing away. We were on top of them, controlling the space in behind. It's great to see the players are just as hungry to keep a clean sheet and defend as they are going forward.
"We know that Tawanda Maswanhise is very, very hard to stop in open play. Eventually he'll break through and find a chance. He might have been a little bit lucky with that one but he had other opportunities. A top player and a fantastic young man who works very hard. We're enjoying having him here and happy the transfer window doesn't open tomorrow.
"What we are in the mix for is for you to discuss. We had a game plan today, we had to attack, we did that well and got a clean sheet and three points. It was a good game for us in terms of playing against man for man pressure and it didn't stop us."

What about Barney Stewart?
The 21-year-old was a full-time student not so long ago.
A double today takes his Falkirk tally to six after getting eight on loan at Dunfermline during the first half of the season.

Claudio Braga has been an unbelievable find for Hearts. His goals, his work-rate...
Image source, SNSFT: Motherwell 2-0 Dundee United
A 10th home win of the season for Motherwell, who have taken 34 points from 15 matches at Fir Park.
Only six goals conceded on home turf, just one in the past 11.
Hearts are grinding to a halt. They won't last the course, just like '86.

Goodwin HAS to go!

Incredible performance from Falkirk, surely top six...

This is the worst Kilmarnock defence I've seen. Clueless gutless, no organisation. They don’t look like a Premiership team on this showing

FT: Hearts 1-0 Aberdeen
Aberdeen play twice before Hearts return to action.
They host Celtic on Wednesday, then visit Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup.
Win at East End Park and the cup holders are in the last four.
FT: Hearts 1-0 Aberdeen
It wasn't pretty but it was deserved as Hearts tick off another win.
Seven points clear, with the league split four games away.
Now comes a welcome rest, before they resume away to Kilmarnock on 14 March.

Falkirk all-but safe in top six while Kilmarnock remain in relegation play-off spot
Scintillating Falkirk all-but secured a top-six berth in the Scottish Premiership by thrashing woeful Kilmarnock, who remain firmly in relegation danger.
Ethan Brown's own goal from a Calvin Miller cutback, Dylan Tait's close-range finish, and Barney Stewart's header was deserved reward for Falkirk's slick play in a blistering first 35 minutes.
Kilmarnock replied before half-time through Greg Kiltie, but a ragged and haphazard defensive display undid any of their work going forward.
Stewart tapped in his second after a fantastic delivery again from Miller, before Tait lashed in his second goal as both chased hat-tricks.
Stewart came so close to netting his second treble of the season, but could not quite force home at the back post after Ben Broggio's shot rattled the other post.
The emphatic victory means Falkirk move 12 points clear of nearest chasers Dundee United and 13 in front of Aberdeen.
With only 15 points left for those two struggling clubs to play for before the league splits, it now appears inevitable Falkirk will finish in the top half in their first top-flight season since 2010.
Kilmarnock, meanwhile, drop three points behind St Mirren in the race to avoid the relegation play-off as they conceded at least three goals for the fifth time in seven matches.
Falkirk have defied the odds all season and this performance encapsulated all the reasons why.
They played expansive football, switching the ball from side-to-side to work overloads in wide areas, where they devastated Kilmarnock from crosses.
Miller has been one of the standouts in the league all season, and his one-two and cross down the left forced Brown to prod by his own goalkeeper for the opener after just 37 seconds.
The winger did similar five minutes into the second half to tee up Stewart's second and kill any notion of a Kilmarnock comeback. They were utterly relentless.
It was a statement victory which effectively - and deservedly - secures their spot in the top six, with Hibs only four points ahead and in their sights.
Kilmarnock's defensive performance will be extremely concerning to manager Neil McCann. It is the fifth time in seven matches they have conceded at least three goals, a trend which cannot continue.
They were alarmingly vulnerable from crosses.
Whether it was the nervousness of goalkeeper Kelle Roos - who parried to the feet of Tait for his first and did not get near the midfielder's second - or their inability to get to the ball first, they were so far off what is needed at this level.
Stewart's first goal, a fantastic header after Coll Donaldson made contact from a corner, was a prime example, while the striker also got his head to the ball before Tait made it 2-0.
Stewart had a further goal disallowed and Falkirk hit the frame of the goal three times, while Roos did also make a few good saves.
It easily could have been worse for Kilmarnock. And though they improved in the Janaury window in attacking areas, not signing a commanding defender looks an oversight.
Falkirk manager John McGlynn: "It's definitely up there with one of our best of the season. Great to bounce back from defeat by Hearts last week.
"The guys answered me today - they've run and run and run. There was a great tempo about the game and great entertainment for the fans.
"You can hear they're enjoying their football."
Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann: "It doesnt help when you lose a goal in the first minute. We were beaten by the better team today, without question.
"I've got no gripes. Falkirk wanted it more, they were aggressive, up for it and it could have been more.
"We just come up well short. We faced a side that wanted it more, that won't be accepted. It's a sobering day for us and a reality check."
Falkirk will aim to make a special season even better when they face Dundee United in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup on Friday night, live on the BBC (19:45 GMT).
Kilmarnock have the weekend off before returning to face leaders Hearts at Rugby Park on Saturday 14 March (20:00).

Falkirk have won both of their Scottish Premiership games against Kilmarnock this season; the last opponent against which they won three games within a single top-flight campaign were Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2007-08.
Kilmarnock have won just two of their last 23 away games against newly promoted opponents in the Scottish top-flight (D13 L8), both coming against St. Mirren in 2018-19.
Falkirk have lost both of their last two league games, last losing three in a row in the top-flight in March 2010.
Kilmarnock are winless in their last 11 away league games (D4 L7), last going longer on their travels without winning in the Scottish Premiership from August 2022 to April 2023 (16).
19-year-old Ben Broggio has scored in both of his home Scottish Premiership games for Falkirk. The last player to find the net in each of his first three home appearances in the Scottish top-flight was Mika Biereth for Motherwell in November 2023, while the last teenager to achieve this feat was James Forrest for Celtic in September 2010.
