Real Scottish People's League Week 24
Real SPL leaders Motherwell's poor run of form continued after a 1-1 draw at mid-table Dundee Utd.
Fortunately for Well, Hearts lost at Inverness so the Lanarkshire club actually eked out another point on the second-placed club. The Highlanders were the RSPL's only climbers after this week's results, moving from ninth to sixth place.
Biggest shock of the day was at Rugby Park, where basement club Dunfermline pulled off a comprehensive 3-0 win over Kilmarnock. The Pars drew level on points with hapless Hibernian, who were involved in their second 3-2 scoreline in a row; this time on the receiving end of the three goals against St Johnstone. The Saints moved level on points with Hearts in second place thanks to the win, only four behind top spot.
