Here is a round-up of all today's games in the Scottish Premier League:

 

Celtic 3-2 Aberdeen

Aberdeen continue to struggle in the SPL, their defeat at Parkhead to Celtic today means they're 11th in the table.

Celtic opened the scoring on 14 minutes, when Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink got his first goal of the season.

However, Charlie Mulgrew returned to haunt his old club by equalising for Aberdeen on 57 minutes. He then put the Dons in the lead with a stunning free-kick eight minutes later.

After coming on as a substitute, Scott McDonald equalised for Celtic on 78 minutes, before Vennegoor of Hesselink hit home a winner in the 91st minute of the game.

 

Dundee United 3-0 Hearts

A good win at Tannadice today for Craig Levein's Dundee United.

Goals from Craig Conway (39 minutes), Jon Daly (50 minutes), and Scott Robertson (63 minutes) gave United a convincing 3-0 victory.

Hearts' misery was compounded when Icelander Eggert Jonsson picked up a second yellow card on 74 minutes for a second bookable offence.

 

Falkirk 4-1 Hamilton

It was a morale-boosting victory for Falkirk today, as they lifted themselves off the bottom of the table with a fantastic win over high-flyers Hamilton.

Goals from Scott Lovell (44 minutes), Scott Arfield (69 minutes), Burton O'Brien (72 minutes), and a second from Arfield with a penalty on 87 minutes gave the Bairns a great win at the Falkirk Stadium.

Hamilton got a late consolation in the 90th minute, when keeper Robert Olejnik put a cross into his own net.

 

Inverness Caledonian Thistle 3-1 Kilmarnock

Inverness came from a goal down to win 3-1 at the Caledonian Stadium today.

In-form striker Conor Sammon gave Kilmarnock an early lead, when he netted his third goal in two games with only four minutes gone.

Inverness drew level on 21 minutes through Phil McGuire, and took the lead through a penalty from Andrew Barrowman two minutes before the break.

Kilmarnock went down to 10 men on 77 minutes, when James Fowler was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence. Inverness took advantage and wrapped up the win nine minutes from time, through Ian Black.

 

Motherwell 2-1 St Mirren

Motherwell picked up a much-needed win today, as they beat St Mirren 2-1 at Fir Park.

It was the away side who took the lead, when Billy Mehmet stunned home fans with his goal on the half-hour mark.

Motherwell equalised through John Sutton on 48 minutes, and won it when Bob Malcolm fired 'Well infront on 62 minutes.

Franco Miranda was sent off for St Mirren on 72 minutes for violent conduct, condemning the Saints to a defeat that will push them to the bottom the SPL table.

 

And there you have it, a round-up of all today's action in the Scottish Premier League. As usual there was the goals, the drama, the sending-offs; yet another entertaining weekend in the SPL.
