Kilmarnock returned to the top of the Scottish Premiership with a 3-1 win against Dundee.
Steve Clarke's side were knocked off the summit after being thrashed 5-1 by Celtic last weekend, but they swiftly returned to winning ways and recorded a third straight home victory.
Kirk Broadfoot opened the scoring in the 54th minute when he scrambled home following a corner, and an own goal from Genseric Kusunga 12 minutes later doubled the advantage.
Greg Stewart added a third with 11 minutes left before Kenny Miller scored a stoppage-time consolation.
