Scottish Premiership roundup: Aberdeen remain second, Motherwell rescue late win

Motherwell score twice in the final five minutes to record a 4-3 win over Partick Thistle and stay one point behind second-placed Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership

Aberdeen closed the gap on Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic to 18 points with a 1-0 win over St Mirren, courtesy of a 79th-minute penalty by Adam Rooney.

The victory ensured that they stay one point clear of third-placed Motherwell, who came from behind to defeat Partick Thistle 4-3.

Kallum Higginbotham scored twice in six second-half minutes for the away side, but late goals from John Sutton and Stephen McManus kept them hot on the tails of Aberdeen.
