We'll wrap up the updates here, while you continue watching Sportscene.
Late goals made the difference, with Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain getting the winner for Celtic and Motherwell grabbing an equaliser for 10-man Motherwell at home to Rangers.
It leaves Rangers five points behind Hearts, with those two meeting at Ibrox on Sunday.
Celtic are one point adrift of Rangers with a game in hand on the top two.
FT: Kilmarnock 4-3 St Mirren
St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Sportsound: "If you concede four goals you’re not going to win games of football. If you score three goals you should win the game, never mind take a point.
"The defending was really, really poor. They didn’t have to work for any of the four goals and that’s the frustrating bit.
"If people score very good goals against you, then that’s fine. The first one we don’t defend the back post properly and fill gaps. The second one we got outmuscled. The next two are long balls over our defence and we don’t deal with runners.
"I thought we showed a good reaction second half, changed the shape and got back into it. But we got undone.
"At the moment when we lose a goal we seem to lose another straight after. We have to work hard to fix that."
FT: Kilmarnock 4-3 St Mirren
Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann tells BBC Radio Scotland Sportsound: "There’s so much to like about the performance. There was a lot of guts in there.
"We went 1-0 down, and then St Mirren scored early in the second half and you wonder if that’s going to take the sting out of us a wee bit. But they didn’t and they went again.
"It could have been a lot more, in my opinion. I know the 4-3 scoreline looks tight but we fully deserved the three points and probably should have won by a couple more goals.
"Tyreece John-Jules has just started to elevate his performances because he’s had a good run in the team after not playing a lot of football.
"I’m so happy for him that he’s got the match ball. Though I had a wee moment of worry after his third goal when he was doing back flips. I’m not going to have too much of that."

Falkirk manager John McGlynn tells BBC Scotland: "Horrible night for watching football, the wind blowing the ball all over the place.
"But I thought the teams put on a good show. We got the all-important goal and we got a bit of fortune when Dundee missed the penalty right at the end. I said to the players before the game it might have been a toss of the coin."
On goalkeeper Scott Bain: "He picked up a bug, went out for the warm up and was feeling ill. Delighted for Nicky [Hogarth] to keep a clean sheet. He played a big part in that and did the job tonight.
"We felt 40 points this season would keep us up. Without getting carried away, I think we'll stay up.
"We're absolutely delighted with where we're at. It's beyond our expectations but we're enjoying it."

Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou tells BBC Scotland: "We are happy that we fought our way back with one man down and got a goal, but it was fully deserved.
"When you look at the game, the performance was sensational from start to finish. The dominance we showed in possession, twice the touches in the opposition box as Rangers... It was a performance that got people out of their seats.
"Had we been 11 v 11, maybe we'd have had even more to push with at the end. Fair enough, it's the right decision to send Lukas [Fadinger] off. If you ever get a red card, then it has to be in a situation where you do everything you can to stop a counter attack, with no bad intent.
"A lovely game of football, which I feel we played a very big part in."

Rangers head coach Danny Rohl tells BBC Scotland: "The first 10 minutes we were very strong, we played fantastic football for the goal, it was outstanding.
"Then Motherwell did really well and we struggled in our pressing. At half time, we had to adjust some parts and we were much more organised.
"We had moments where we had to make it 2-0. Even in the first half, they had more ball possession but we had a big chance. Finally, there's the red card. It is not always an advantage because you know they'll go direct.
"It hurts today. We have to accept it, move forward.
"When you have a red card and you're 1-0 down, you have nothing to lose. We should not look for too many draws, it's about winning games to close the gap."

Livingston boss Marvin Bartley hints that work is going on trying to recruit a free agent or two, but will only rule out pulling out the boots himself when asked if former Rangers and Hearts winger Barrie McKay is on the verge of joining.
FT: Celtic 2-1 Livingston
Livingston boss Marvin Bartley tells BBC Scotland: "Gutted. I'm upset for the players but I'm also proud of them. The effort was magnificent to a man and I'm hurting for them because we were so close to picking up a vital point.
"The quality Celtic are bringing off the bench is huge, but we matched them in terms of effort. We just weren't able to hang on at the end.
"We knew what we were going to face. The players stood up to them for long periods and stayed in the game. We got the penalty and Scott Pittman has a big chance as well.
"We can do it. Until it's mathematically impossible we will not give up. Can we narrow the gap before the split? Then you're playing the teams around you and those games are huge.
"I've seen more than enough from the players to know they can do it. We need to start picking up points as quickly as possible now."

FT: Celtic 2-1 Livingston
Celtic manager Martin O'Neill starts by telling BBC Scotland about his emotions when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored: "Naturally delighted. I was relieved that that was going to hopefully be the winning goal, scored by a very, very fine player.
"He had a choice of a lot of teams. He's decided to come up here and help us out. He's done more than that, he's got us three points on the board.
"We reached that situation because we missed a lot of chances and their goalkeeper played very well. There must have been four chances before we scored. We needed a second goal because Livingston - who played very well - could get back into the game.
"Of course, they do equalise and we're pressing and pressing. We didn't look like we were going to get any reward at all and Alex scores this brilliant goal. When it left his foot, I could see it going in and that was a real delight.
"He's been a really fine player in his career, an excellent career. It's just a matter of him getting up to speed and I think that will come. He's naturally fit and hopefully he will be a big asset to us.
"I think there will be twists and turns in the rest of the season. Hearts are in a very strong position and we've been chasing since I've come in, first and second time. We kept ourselves in the hunt tonight."
FT: Falkirk 1-0 Dundee
Falkirk boss John McGlynn has a chuckle as he tells BBC Scotland: "I think we might stay up."
He says his pre-season target was 40 points.
They have 39 after 26 games.
FT: Falkirk 1-0 Dundee
Dundee manager Steven Pressley tells BBC Scotland: "Considering the conditions, the players attitude towards the game was amazing. We controlled long periods, found ourselves in really good areas, but it's been the story of late - we just need to find that final action.
"We had the penalty in the final minute but no criticism of Yan Dhanda - he's been an outstanding performer and gives so much to the team.
"The truth is, we've never thought we are out of this [relegation fight]. I've reminded the players constantly we have got so much hard work ahead of us.
"We have to get the end product which is the only thing missing from our performance."

That's six wins in nine for Falkirk. They're showing their top-six credentials.
They managed the game well and the defence was superbly marshalled by Liam Henderson.

Michael Stewart
Former Hearts & Hibs midfielder on BBC Sportsound
It was a class goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Just a calm, composed, quality finish.
He's not played since May and you're thinking - is he going to be able to have an impact? And what an impact he's had already.

Pat Bonner
Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound
Just when Celtic again looked as if they were going to drop points, up stepped Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. It was a great goal, he just let the ball run across him, took a touch and bent it round the goalkeeper.
Celtic were running out of ideas, very predictable, just playing it across, hoping rather than making it happen. And they just get away with it right at the end.
Livingston just sat in and looked very comfortable. They worked really hard defensively, frustrated Celtic and frustrated the crowd.
What a huge three points it is for Celtic. They'll be relieved.
FT: Celtic 2-1 Livingston
Losing to a late goal always stings and Livingston were convinced they had a strong claim for a penalty right on the final whistle...
That's 24 league games without a win for the league's bottom side since the second weekend of the season and they are now nine points adrift.
It's not the worst sequence in the top flight though...
TV match commentator Al Lamont tells me Morton hold that unwanted record from 1987-88 with a sorry sequence of 28 games.
Image source, SNSHas the on loan Celtic player just scuppered Rangers title chase? Motherwell showed again that they are in the mix. Totally deserved at least a point from the game.
Walter
Danny Rohl got the team selection wrong tonight. Should have played with strongest team. Skov Olson Should have been on from the start.
Steven
Rangers didn’t even deserve a point tonight, very negative, can’t be playing 5 at the back against 10 men. Rohl got it wrong tonight
David
Sunday shaping up to be a pivotal day in the league. Some big points to play for

FT: Motherwell 1-1 Rangers
Derek Ferguson
Former Rangers midfielder on BBC Sportsound
I think this is a good point for Rangers. Because this is a Motherwell side that have been absolutely flying and they've shown different sides to their game tonight, down to 10 men.
The Rangers players might have just thought 'we've got this, this game's dead and buried'. But you can never think like that.
The first half was breathless. At times, Motherwell were excellent and Rangers defended ever so well.
I think it is a pretty good point but as Danny Rohl mentioned, there's a massive game on Sunday [against Hearts] and that starts to look like a must-win.

On-loan Celtic defender Stephen Welsh celebrates after scoring on his return to Motherwell
At a glance
Stephen Welsh's late strike holds Rangers to draw and rocks their charge in the Scottish Premiership title race
Nico Raskin's sixth-minute strike looked likely to give Danny Rohl's side victory against the 10 men of Motherwell, who had Lukas Fadinger sent off
Rangers now five points behind league leaders Hearts, who they play on Sunday, and just a point ahead of Celtic who scored a late winner against Livingston
Rangers failed to match Hearts' pace in the Scottish Premiership title race as they conceded an 89th-minute equaliser to 10-man Motherwell, with the gap at the top of the table now five points wide.
Nico Raskin's early goal looked like it had given Rangers victory, but on-loan Celtic defender Stephen Welsh lashed in a late leveller to spark frenzied scenes at Fir Park.
There were only six minutes on the clock when Raskin put Rangers in front, just moments after Motherwell's Emmanuel Longelo had a shot saved.
Rangers broke forward through Mohamed Diomande and when the Ivorian slipped through Raskin, the midfielder tucked the ball away with aplomb.
It was the first goal Motherwell had conceded at home in nine matches, since before Danny Rohl had even been appointed Rangers boss, but they didn't let their heads drop.
As has been typical of them this season, they continued to dominate the ball and create chances, with Tawanda Maswanhise hitting a post and Stephen O'Donnell seeing a sclaffed effort cleared off the line.
Really though, it should have been 2-0 to the visitors before the break. Youssef Chermiti blocked a Welsh header at the back and went one-on-one, but his poked effort was straight at the keeper.
The vim and vigour of the first half was not as evident in the second as Rangers started to slow the game down, frustrating their hosts and limiting their energetic midfield.
Motherwell's task got that much harder when Lukas Fadinger flew into a tackle on Mikey Moore, catching the on-loan Spurs winger on the ankle with his studs. After a video assistant referee (VAR) review, he was off and the hosts had to play the final 13 minutes with 10 men.
But in spite of that, there was time for a fight back as Welsh connected with Eythor Bjorgolffson's knock down in the box and added the latest twist to an unbelievable Premiership title battle.
If it had not been for those points Motherwell dropped at the start of the season, they might be doing more than just having a say in the destination of the league trophy.
Despite going behind early in the first half, they bossed the rest of the 40 minutes.
Popping it about, getting into dangerous positions, players who look like multi-million pound signings. Over 60% possession. Some of the football is mesmeric.
But, as Welsh said in his post-match interview, they're not happy with a point. This is a team with big ambitions and, while they're 13 points behind Hearts, it's not that far to the Old Firm.
They are now 10 home games unbeaten, and were able to reintroduce Elliot Watt and Stephen Welsh into the team. Those are big players to come back in.
And to get a goal, when Rangers looked likely to score a second, down to 10 men? Talk about character.
One late goal for Motherwell, one giant shift in the Premiership title race.
Attacking stats between Motherwell and Rangers
Drawing with this Well team is no disgrace, and most other teams in the league would be delighted to leave Fir Park with a point.
But it will be hard for Rohl to put a positive spin on this. They had held on to the lead for so long, weathered several storms when Motherwell were pushing for an equaliser, yet conceded when they had a man advantage.
The head coach hasn't had to pick his players up off the floor too often, but this squad's psyche will now be hugely tested.
Rangers are usually in the habit of scoring late, not conceding. While it was maybe uncharacteristic, it is a reminder that this title race will not be straightforward.
What remains to be seen is how the side respond against Hearts on Sunday. Will they roar back, fired up by their failure to win at Fir Park? Or will they be deflated? Only time will tell.
Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou: "We are pleased and happy that we fought our way back with one man down and got a goal, but it was fully deserved.
"When you look at the game, the performance was sensational from start to finish. The dominance we showed in possession, twice the touches in the opposition box as Rangers... it was a performance that got people out of their seats."
Rangers head coach Danny Rohl: "The first 10 minutes we were very strong, we played fantastic football for the goal, it was outstanding. Then Motherwell did really well and we struggled in our pressing.

"It hurts today. We have to accept it, but move forward."
Rangers host Hearts on Sunday afternoon (16:30 GMT) while Motherwell welcome Aberdeen earlier in the day (14:30).

The last six league meetings between Motherwell and Rangers have an even head-to-head record, with both sides winning twice each (all by a one-goal margin) and the other two being drawn. The Gers had won six in a row against the Steelmen prior to this.
Rangers are unbeaten in their last 31 league visits to Motherwell (W20 D11) since going down 1-0 in December 2002. Only at Greenock Morton have the Gers ever enjoyed a longer unbeaten away run in their league history (41 from 1920 to 1987).
Motherwell have kept a clean sheet in each of their last eight home league games (W7 D1), winning their last five in a row. In the 21st century, the only side to keep nine successive home clean sheets in the Scottish top-flight are Celtic (twice – December 2013 to March 2014 & October 2024 to February 2025).
Rangers have won seven of their last eight league games (D1), a run which started with a 1-0 win over Motherwell in December. Since that day, the Gers have earned at least eight more points than any side in the Scottish Premiership (22, Hibernian second with 14).
Nicolas Raskin has created more chances from open play (33) than any other player in the Scottish Premiership this season, with his five assists the most of any Rangers player.
