A round-up of Saturday's Scottish Premiership action

St Mirren climbed off the foot of the Scottish Premiership following a 1-0 win at 10-man Hamilton.

The Saints, who went into the game having lost all eight away from home so far this term, twice hit the woodwork through Ilkay Durmus and Junior Morais either side of the break.

But they deservedly went ahead in the 52nd minute when Cammy MacPherson fired home his first league goal of the season from the edge of the box.

Hamilton keeper Luke Southwood made a decent save to deny MacPherson a second but Hamilton finished the game with 10 men after Alexander Gogic was sent off in the 77th minute after bringing down Cody Cooke when he was through on goal.

Martin Boyle bagged a second-half brace as Aberdeen suffered a 3-0 defeat at Hibernian.

Boyle broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute when he latched on to Scott Allan's ball before rounding keeper Joe Lewis and tapping into an empty net.

Boyle then grabbed his second goal in the 68th minute as Hibs caught out Aberdeen on the break and Florian Kamberi wrapped up the win 16 minutes from time.
