Hearts won at their revamped home for the first time in four attempts, while Rangers rallied for victory on a busy Saturday in the Scottish Premiership.
The Jambos sealed a 1-0 win over Motherwell thanks to a 39th-minute goal from Kyle Lafferty, who capitalised on a slip by Cedric Kipre to net in front of watching Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill.
While Hearts finally crowned their upgraded home with a win after three consecutive draws, Motherwell failed to score for only the third time in the league this season after losing the league's top goalscorer, Louis Moult, to a hamstring injury before the match.
The Light Blues had failed on their eight previous attempts to extend a winning run past two this year.
But Danny Wilson's winner seven minutes from the end sealed a long-awaited hat-trick of victories and completed the turnaround after Alfredo Morelos' first goal in 11 games had cancelled out Craig Curran's early opener.
Eamonn Brophy scored twice as Kilmarnock ended their winless run at Rugby Park in emphatic style with a 5-1 success against struggling Partick Thistle.
Killie had previously picked up just two points on home soil this term, but Brophy notched twice and set up another as Steve Clarke's side cantered to a morale-boosting win which piled more pressure on bottom-of-the-table Thistle.
Kris Boyd had earlier opened the scoring before a Chris Erskine equaliser, but Brophy struck twice and forced Niall Keown into an own goal before a Boyd penalty wrapped up a second straight win.
Stefan Scougall's strike midway through the second half sealed a 1-0 victory for St Johnstone against Hamilton at the Superseal Stadium.
The attacker took advantage of a defensive mix-up between Dougie Imrie and Scott McMann to slot the ball past Gary Woods.
