Following a mammoth day of football, I need my bed.
Cheers for ing me as Celtic capitalised on Barry Ferguson's first defeat as Rangers interim manager on his return to Ibrox.
Elsewhere, we caught a big win for Ross County while Dundee and St Johnstone picked a point each.
Catch you tomorrow when we'll do it all again.

More from Stephen Robinson: "I don't think many teams press Celtic like that and create that many chances but we didn't take enough of them.
"That's probably been the story of our season. We can't afford a striker that gets 20 goals. There's very, very good points in that performance but we want to come out with three points."
"There's four games to play, 12 points to play for and that can make a huge difference in the standings. The top six is hard to get into.
"We've overachieved in the last two seasons, we know what we're missing but financially that's hard to do. To still be in the running it's very much a case of how many points we can pick up in the next four games."

Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland his St Mirren side were denied "a very clear penalty" against Celtic.
"It's a penalty. It's very clear. The Celtic bench were very clear on it.
"It's not given, they go up the other end and score. Football is very cruel at times. The decision changes things but we still go and concede the goal. If you keep it at 3-2 and he doesn't give the penalty, the game is very much still alive."

And he's fairly strong on that penalty decision...

More from Rodgers on some of the substitutions: "Callum had felt his calf. He should be fine but we don't want to take any risks with him.
"Auston got a bang in the head and had to get five stitches. He should recover but Scales came in and did really well."

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Scotland the win against St Mirren "was one of my favourite results of the season".
"It's a brilliant three points for us. I think our attacking play was really strong. We were so good on a difficult surface, the players were technically very strong.
"I think it's one of my favourite results of the season coming to St Mirren who have had some really good performances against other teams.
"Yang's girlfriend is here at the moment so he's in a great feeling. I said to her interpreter to try and make sure she stays!
"He's a young player, he's growing and developing which is why it's about more than just performances and results, it's about the development of young players."

Brendan Rodgers has just been speaking to the BBC.
And he has a plea for Yang Hyun-Jun's girlfriend.
Yep, you read that right...

Although they finished fifth last year, if St Mirren can get into the top six I think it'll be Stephen Robinson's biggest achievement as St Mirren manager.

Home boss Stephen Robinson will no doubt have mixed emotions.
He will be feeling the bitter sting of defeat with disappointment but also knows his side contributed fully to a fabulous game of football.
They gave Celtic a real run for their money, drew several top-class saves from Denmark goalkeeper Schmeichel and will no doubt rue the concession of a needless penalty just before half-time that made their job even more tricky.
The energy, pressing and organisation of this St Mirren side caused Celtic a fair few problems and, if they can keep up the intensity in the run-up to the Premiership split, they will still fancy their chances of making the top six for a third consecutive season.

I think when they reflect on it they'll be really proud of the performance, but the message will be when you play Celtic, you can't afford to up chances.

Before Daizen Maeda scored, though, St Mirren had a fair shout for a penalty.
We've received some guidance from the Scottish FA on that...
FT: St Mirren 2-5 Celtic
Twenty-six goals for the season for Daizen Maeda.
Surely right up there in the player of the year conversation...

St Mirren were always in it up until the final period in that game. Celtic in the last 25 minutes, and the changes Rodgers made, what an impact.
Yang was lightning when he came on. Maeda getting his goall too. I think in the last 25 minutes Celtic deserved it but St Mirren were always in it.
They had huge chances and that's the big difference between the two teams.
Ross County have avoided defeat in their last four matches when scoring first in the Premiership.
Kilmarnock fell to their third defeat in a week as Ross County bounced back from a midweek loss to record a crucial win that puts them within two points of the Scottish Premiership top six.
The visitors dominated the early stages in Dingwall, but Marley Watkins' first-half shots were both saved by Jordan Amissah when one-on-one.
County punished slack Kilmarnock defending in the 35th minute, when Kieran Phillips was quickest to react to Jordan White's spilled effort.
That was the hosts' only real chance of note in the entire game, but the defensive effort, led irably by Kaer Lopata, helped keep Kilmarnock at bay.
The other chance they had also ended up in the back of the net, as Nohan Kenneh steered in from close range after some comical play in the Kilmarnock backline, but VAR saved the visitors as a foul was spotted in the build-up.
Country are up to eighth while Kilmarnock remain 10th and, while they are only six points off the top half, manager Derek McInnes itted that, if his side had any top six aspirations, this was a game they needed to win.
Looking below them, they remain three points above 11th-placed Dundee and six points above bottom-dwellers St Johnstone.
Such is the tight nature of the league that one bad result can have fans looking over their shoulders at the teams below them.
The midweek lost to St Johnstone did just that for County, given how poor and lifeless the performance was.
Thankfully for Don Cowie, his side responded with a solid defensive effort to frustrate Kilmarnock for the full 90 minutes.
Lopata, Jonathan Tomkinson and Eli Campbell produced heroics time and again and when they could not header or blooter the ball away, Amissah behind them repelled the visitors.
They were, perhaps, a little lucky to score with really their only chance but then dreadfully unlucky to have Kenneh's goal ruled out. In the end, it didn't matter.
"Anything other than a win makes it extremely difficult," said McInnes of his side's top six chances, but his players didn't respond to the added pressure placed on them.
Although they had seven shots in the first 20 minutes, only two of them were on target and most of the chances they created were quite sloppy.
Even in the second half, two of Amissah's saves were really from crosses - from Brad Lyons and Fraser Murray - while Bruce Anderson missed a gilt-edged chance from in front of the goal.
Defensively, the goal - and the disallowed goal - was another poor one to concede. It's not the first time we've said that this season, which comes as a surprise given the reputation that Kilmarnock have built under McInnes.
Now, there seems to be a softer underbelly that plenty of Premiership opponents have taken advantage of.
To rub salt in the wound, Kyle Magennis didn't last long after coming on. Trying to jockey Noah Chilvers, the Killie midfielder seemed to twist his knee in the turf and was immediately replaced. Not what anyone wants to see for a player who has suffered so many injury problems.
Ross County manager Don Cowie: "Very hard fought. A really important three points and another three points toward where we want to get to - 35 points. That was our total last season. We've now got nine games to really add to that.
"It was a tough game, we had to defend a lot. They put us under a lot of pressure, a lot of entries into our box. It's definitely not the best we've played this season, but it's the best three points we've had this season."
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes: "It's a major disappointment, but I've been in dressing rooms a long time, I can see the commitment and motivation of the players to do better.
We'll get better as we go along, we'll get one or two back. I see signs that we'll be alright."

Ross County have won both of their first two Scottish Premiership games against Kilmarnock; only in 2014-15 and 2015-16 have the Staggies ever beaten Killie three times in a single season in the competition.
Kilmarnock are winless in their last eight Scottish Premiership games away to Ross County (D3 L5) since a 2-1 victory in March 2017.
After their 3-1 win over Dundee, Ross County are looking to win back-to-back home games for the very first time in the Scottish Premiership this season.
Kilmarnock have lost each of their last three away league games, last losing more in a row in April 2023 (6).
There have been three instances of a side losing a Scottish Premiership game in 2024-25 in which they led by 2+ goals – all three have involved Kilmarnock, beating Dundee 3-2 in October, losing 3-2 to Dundee in November, and losing 4-2 to Rangers last time out.
