Scottish Premiership Roundup: Inverness stay top

Inverness Caledonian Thistle remain top of the Scottish Premiership this evening after they left it late to seal a 2-0 victory over Kilmarnock.

In a game of few chances, Aaron Doran rolled the ball into the net with 15 minutes remaining and Greg Tansey struck the post with a 25-yard strike that rebounded off Killie keeper Craig Sampson and into the net.

Hamilton Academical stayed second with a rout of managerless and pointless Ross County. Hamilton forward Mikael Antoine-Curier netted two penalties in between goals from Martin Canning and Jason Scotland.

Elsewhere, there were away wins for Dundee United and St Johnstone, while Aberdeen beat Partick Thistle 2-0. Nicky Low put the Dons in front from the edge of the box, followed by a goal for Niall McGinn.

Celtic, who did not play today, drop down to sixth place.

Results in full: Aberdeen 2-0 Partick Thistle, Hamilton 4-0 Ross County, Inverness 2-0 Kilmarnock, Motherwell 0-1 St Johnstone, St Mirren 0-3 Dundee United
