Hibs had an improved offer for Partick Thistle’s Scotland goalkeeper, Alan Rough, turned down.

Paul McStay, Charlie Nicholas and Tommy Burns were on target for Celtic as they beat Motherwell 3-1.

Dundee came from behind to win 2-1 at Morton, thanks to goals from Davie Bell and Peter Mackie.

John Brogan (above) scored in a 2-0 win at Alloa to make him St Johnstone’s alltime leading goalscorer.

His 117th was one more than Ian Rodger’s career total with the Perth club.
