Celtic cruised to a comfortable 4-0 win over Hamilton to go top of the Scottish Premier League on goal difference from rivals Rangers yesterday.

Goals from Shunsuke Nakamura and Georgios Samaras gave the home side a 2-0 half-time lead and there was no way back for Hamilton.

Scott McDonald grabbed Celtic's third goal in the 75th minute and after Celtic keeper Artur Boruc had made a fine penalty save and follow-up stop from James McArthur, Aiden McGeady slid in the fourth to complete the visitors' misery.

A late winner from Craig Bryson allowed Kilmarnock to claim a 2-1 victory over Hearts and return to winning ways.

Aberdeen's dismal home form continued as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Hibernian. A goal in each half by Derek Riordan cancelled out Lee Miller's equalising penalty.

Dundee United moved into the top half after impressively notching their fourth successive victory by beating Inverness 2-1.

Jon Daly headed home towards the end of an entertaining first half and Lee Wilkie made some steady pressure count in the 65th minute with another header.
