Inverness CT 0 - 1 Celtic
At Tulloch Caledonian Stadium, Paddy McCourt scored the opening goal of the SPL season as the visitors took all three points. Not sure this match warrants a second sentence.
Rangers 2 -1 Kilmarnock
A Killie comeback fell short at Ibrox after Kenny Miller and Steven Naismith put the hosts up by two. The Ayrshire side was pipped by many as relegation favourites; is a close away effort encouraging for Killie, or an indictment of Rangers' weakness, or just a one-off that means nothing?
Hearts 1 - 1 St Johnstone
The two clubs shared a pair of injury-time goals just before the end of the half. Saints were reduced to 10 men but held on to share the points at Tynecastle.
St Mirren 1 - 1 Dundee Utd
Danny Lennon's Buddies started the season with promise and looked able to contain the visitors' pressure until a 89th minute equalizer from Jon Daly ruined matters, but sharing the points was a fair result.
Motherwell 2 - 3 Hibernian
In perhaps the most exciting match (second to that at Pittodrie) of the weekend, the two sides failed to match their twelve-goal outburst from a year ago, but treated Fir Park to a end-to-end affair with five goals and several missed opportunities. Just two minutes after Hibs went up by two, Murphy smartly slotted in a penalty to set up a frantic final fifteen minutes, but the visitors held on to capture the points.
