Buoyant Buddies show Celtic are not invincible – 5 things we learned in Scotland
The Hoops suffered their first league defeat in almost a year.
The cinch Premiership season took an unexpected twist as Celtic went down to a shock defeat by St Mirren.
The champions had only conceded once in the league this season before losing 2-0 in Paisley to allow Rangers to cut the gap to two points.
Elsewhere there were wins for Hibernian, Hearts and Livingston while St Johnstone and Ross County were goalless in Perth.
Here are five things we learned from the weekend’s action.

Stephen Robinson is making his mark with St Mirren
Motherwell need to start taking their chances
The Steelmen somehow contrived to lose 3-0 at home to Hearts after having a goal disallowed for offside and hitting the post three times, Paul McGinn doing so from three yards out. Motherwell had 25 shots at goal but drew a blank for the second game running. They had 21 shots at goal against Dundee United in their previous game, including a penalty, and drew 0-0.
Ryan Porteous has fallen foul of another opposition manager
The Hibernian centre-back had several run-ins with Steven Gerrard during the former England captain’s time in charge of Rangers and now he has incurred the wrath of Goodwin. The Aberdeen manager accused Porteous of “blatant cheating” after he won a penalty following a tangle with Liam Scales, which saw the Dons defender shown a second yellow card.
