Scottish Premiership Review: Celtic pull clear as Dundee United upset Hearts

Gary Mackay-Steven's goal and a Leigh Griffiths brace saw Celtic cruise to a 3-0 win at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.

Mackay-Steven broke the deadlock with a half-volley from 20 yards out in the 54th minute at Celtic Park.

Griffiths doubled the hosts' advantage five minutes later, beating goalkeeper Owain Fon Williams after good work down the flank by Kieran Tierney.

Hearts remain third, but also dropped points in a 2-1 defeat at bottom side Dundee United, Paul Paton's stunning long-range volley sealing all three points for the hosts in a match that saw both teams finish with 10 men. 

Finally, Lee Clark's debut as manager of second-bottom Kilmarnock ended in a 0-0 draw after Josh Magennis saw two attempts cleared off the line by visiting Dundee.
