Two late goals from Motherwell earned them a 3-3 draw with champions Rangers at Ibrox but it wasn't enough to claim fourth place and a European spot.

In what could be his last appearance for the club Kris Boyd, who is out of contract in the summer, got the title party started with his 101st Scottish Premier League goal for Rangers in the 17th minute.

Kyle Lafferty scored his sixth and seventh of the season either side of substitute Jamie Murphy's goal to seemingly put Rangers cruising to victory.

But Motherwell, who came from 6-2 behind against Hibernian to seal a 6-6 draw in midweek, sparked another remarkable comeback in the 90th minute.

Steven Jennings scored before an injury-time penalty from Lukas Jutkiewicz pulled them level.

However, a 2-0 victory for Hibernian at Tannadice, thanks to a Colin Nish double, means the Easter Road side will finish in fourth spot ahead of Motherwell.

At Tynecastle Celtic made it eight wins in a row under interim manager Neil Lennon with goals from on-loan Robbie Keane and Chinese captain Zheng Zhi either side of Marius Zaliukas sealing a 2-1 win as the Hoops finished six points behind Rangers.
