Scottish Premiership Review

Aberdeen beat struggling Kilmarnock 2-1 at Pittodrie to keep the pressure on Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic, who themselves defeated Partick Thistle 2-1 in the early kick-off as Leigh Griffiths scored yet again.

Derek McInnes' side went ahead through Ash Taylor's 37th-minute opener, heading in a Barry Robson corner, before Josh Magennis pegged them back early in the second half, steering home Rory McKenzie's cut-back.

Shay Logan ultimately secured all three points for the home side 19 minutes from time, moving Aberdeen on to 65 points.

Earlier in the day, Celtic ??? who have played a game fewer than their title rivals ??? moved on to 66 points thanks to their win at Partick, with Griffiths breaking the deadlock with his 26th league goal of the season a few moments before the break.

Callum McGregor effectively wrapped up the win eight minutes after the break, with Sean Welsh's 85th-minute penalty nothing more than a consolation.

Hearts made sure of at least a third-placed finish thanks to a 1-0 defeat of Dundee, while Hamilton Academical beat fellow strugglers Inverness Caledonian Thistle 1-0 on the road to move level on 33 points with their hosts.
