SPL Weekend Roundup
Monday, 05 May 08, 11:59 AM
Inverness Caley piled more misery on the all-ready relegated Gretna, thumping six goals past the Anvils. In front of just over 3,600
fans, The Highlanders went in front with barely 37 seconds on the clock when Tokely released Cowie on the right and his cross was finished well by Imrie 12 yards out. Despite clawing backa goal
in the 27th minute, further goals from Wilson, Cowie, Tokely and Vigurs rounded off the day and completed a clean sweep of victories for Brewster's side over Gretna this season.
Celtic continued their challenge to win the league by beating third placed Motherwell by 2 goals to 1. Despite taking the lead on 60 minutes through Porter, quick replies from Celtic's McDonald and Samaras made the points safe for Strachans side.
St Mirren took the points in the basement battle against Kilmarnock at Love Street. With little to play for (both sides are assured SPL status next season thanks to Gretna's woeful performance), the game was a tepid affair with little goalmouth action to speak of and it took a last minute goal from Will Haining to make the difference.
Hibernian and Rangers played out a goalless draw which probably meant more for Hibs than for Rangers, themselves now moving to within seven points of league leaders Celtic. Hibs are now level on points with fourth placed Dundee United, who lost away to Aberdeen.
Falkirk and Hearst play later on this evening (19:45)

A blog about the beautiful game, particularly that one played north of the border. I'm looking to cover Aberdeen FC in particular and Scottish football in general.
