Scottish Premiership Roundup – Full Highlights

The latest Scottish Premiership action delivered goals, drama, and major shifts in the table — with Hearts leading the way, Celtic fighting for momentum under Wilfried Nancy, and Rangers looking to keep pace. Catch all the must-see highlights in this week's roundup.

Dundee United vs Hibernian
Fresh off a midweek win over the champions, Dundee United started brightly as Luca Stephenson opened the scoring after Max Watters' clever layoff. Hibs struck back before halftime when Martin Boyle smashed home an equaliser from a wicked corner delivery.

Both sides came agonisingly close — the crossbar rattled twice, debutant Zach Mitchell impressed in defence, and chances fell to Thibault Klidje and Zac Sapsford. Ultimately, neither team could find a late breakthrough, ending in a tense 1–1 draw on Tayside.

Motherwell vs Dundee
With the chance to climb into third, Motherwell dominated from start to finish. After waves of pressure and key saves from Jon McCracken, the breakthrough finally came when Callum Slattery headed home the winner from a brilliant Louis Moult cross. Motherwell extended their unbeaten run to ten league games, rising into the top three.

St Mirren vs Livingston
Back in league action after lifting the League Cup, St Mirren piled on the pressure early but were repeatedly denied — including a spectacular goal-line clearance. The breakthrough finally arrived when Declan John's pinpoint delivery found Mikael Mandron, who buried the finish to secure all three points. A big win as St Mirren begin their climb away from danger.

Kilmarnock vs Falkirk
Kris Doolan's first match as interim Kilmarnock manager saw his side fall behind early in the second half. Brian Graham bundled home the opener, and despite several promising Killie chances, Falkirk held firm. A frustrating afternoon for Kilmarnock, whose winless streak continues.

Hearts vs Rangers
Hearts welcomed Rangers to Tynecastle knowing they would remain top regardless of the result. Rangers aimed to preserve their unbeaten league run under Danny Röhl, setting up a high-stakes clash that lived up to expectations. (Full match details available in the extended broadcast.)

Celtic vs Aberdeen
Wilfried Nancy entered his fifth match seeking his first Celtic win — and his side responded with overwhelming pressure. After countless chances, Benjamin Nygren finally broke the deadlock just before halftime. A straight red for Aberdeen's Dylan Lobban made the task even harder for the visitors.

Yet against all odds, Aberdeen equalised through Kenan Bilalović. Celtic surged forward relentlessly, hitting the woodwork multiple times before Colby Donovan restored the lead with a powerful header. James Forrest added a late third to seal Nancy's first victory and lift Celtic's spirits heading into the break.

Table Impact

Hearts stay six points clear at the top. Rangers drop ground on the leaders and slip behind in-form Motherwell. St Mirren begin to move away from the relegation battle, while Celtic finally find a spark under their new manager.
