Kenny Miller netted a double to send Rangers to the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League as they came from behind to beat Kilmarnock 3-1.

It was the striker's second brace in three days after scoring twice against Forfar in the Homecoming Scottish Cup and allowed the Ibrox side to move a point ahead of Celtic.

Rangers were left reeling when Killie took a shock lead through Jamie Hammill but Kris Boyd restored parity before Miller hit the target twice - with all three goals in a blistering six-minute spell.

Aberdeen and Dundee United had to settle for a 2-2 draw in a pulsating encounter at Pittodrie.

Francisco Sandaza gave the visitors the lead after 10 minutes from the penalty spot after having been needlessly fouled by Zander Diamond.

The Dons equalised within 20 seconds of the restart through Scott Severin before David Robertson blasted his side in front once more, but Diamond made amends for his earlier error by bravely heading his side back level after 72 minutes.

Andy Dorman rescued a 1-1 draw for St Mirren against Hearts with an injury-time equaliser at Tynecastle.

The Jambos had taken the lead through Iceland international Eggert Jonsson in the 77th minute but the Saints, playing their second game in two days, earned a share of the spoils at the death. The unmarked Dorman poked the ball past Janos Balogh at the back post from Jack Ross' free-kick.

Inverness gave their survival bid another shot in the arm as they beat Hibernian 2-0. Goals from David Proctor and Richie Foran saw the Highlanders cut the gap to second-bottom Falkirk to a single point.

Paul McGowan's second-half goal earned Hamilton a 2-1 win at Falkirk and left the Bairns embroiled in a relegation battle with Inverness.
