Derek McInnes' Aberdeen rubbed salt into Rangers' wounds as a 2-1 win saw them triumph at Ibrox for the first time since 1991.

A day after the Dons boss told Gers they should be "embarrassed" at only finishing third, his side gave another stark illustration of the improvements the Light Blues have yet to make.

The Pittodrie side were sharper all over the pitch and claimed victory with goals from Graeme Shinnie and Ryan Christie.

Martyn Waghorn pulled a goal back for Gers but there was no sign of the Reds decline predicted by Ibrox manager Pedro Caixinha earlier this week, even when they had substitute Jayden Stockley sent-off late on. 

Inverness' bid to avoid automatic relegation will go to the last day following their 2-0 win over Dundee at Dens Park.

Two goals in the first 10 minutes from forwards Billy McKay and Alex Fisher saw off an uninspiring home side and took Richie Foran's men to within one point of Hamilton in the relegation play-off spot.

The Highlanders, whose goal difference is five worse than Accies, host Motherwell on Saturday with Hamilton at home to Dundee in what will be a nerve-shredding afternoon but Inverness at least have given themselves some hope.

It was a first defeat in four games for Dundee's interim manager Neil McCann, albeit the Taysiders' top-flight status had been confirmed on Tuesday night with Hamilton losing to Ross County. 

Chris Kane's first-half strike moved St Johnstone 12 points above Hearts in the table as the visitors continued their miserable run of results in Perth with a 1-0 defeat.

The lively Kane slotted home a brilliant through-ball from Hibernian-bound Danny Swanson, who added a touch of class to proceedings in his final game for Saints - he is suspended for Sunday's visit of Rangers.

Hearts struggled to cut through a resolute Saints defence as they went five Premiership matches without victory, and eight games without a win over their opponents.
