Scottish Premiership leaders Hearts stumbled once more as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Motherwell at Fir Park. The result means the Jambos have dropped points for the third consecutive game, leaving them five points clear at the top, though Celtic hold two games in hand.
Hearts goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow was instrumental in securing a point, making five saves to deny the hosts. Motherwell also had two goals disallowed for offside during a late onslaught. Celtic can reduce the gap to two points if they beat Hibernian on Sunday.
Elsewhere, Dundee ended a run of four defeats by coming from behind to beat St Mirren 3-1. Mikael Mandron had given St Mirren the lead with a fortuitous opener, but an own goal from Alex Gogic and a strike from Drey Wright put Dundee ahead before half-time. Joe Westley sealed the win with a superb 87th-minute effort.
The victory lifted Steven Pressley's side above St Mirren into ninth place in the table.
