Scott McKenna scored twice as Aberdeen came from behind to beat Kilmarnock 3-1 at Pittodrie.

Kilmarnock were ahead after 28 minutes when Kris Boyd deflected Greg Taylor's shot past Danny Rogers.

Dons defender McKenna turned the game on its head, though, with two goals in quick succession after half-time.

Niall McGinn then added a fine 72nd-minute goal as Derek McInnes' side leapfrogged Rangers into second place.

Curtis Main's last-gasp header earned Motherwell a 1-1 draw against Hearts at Tynecastle.

Manuel Milinkovic had given Hearts the lead but the hosts still extended their unbeaten run in the Premiership to 11 games.

Dundee dug deep to secure a late 2-1 win against 10-man Hamilton at the SuperSeal Stadium.

Matthew Henvey then smashed home Scott Allan's cross three minutes later and AJ Leitch-Smith scored in the eighth minute of added time.

Partick Thistle moved six points clear of bottom side Ross County with a 3-1 victory at St Johnstone.

Steven Lawless gave Thistle the lead after 13 minutes and the visitors doubled their advantage through in-form Conor Sammon in the 64th minute.

The Saints did pull a goal back through Liam Craig's penalty with 16 minutes left but Ryan Edwards made sure of the points for Partick in added time.
