  • Zimbabwe international sinks bottom side Livingston

  • Kilmarnock see off Aberdeen to open gap at bottom

Tawanda Maswanhise struck twice to keep Motherwell snapping at the heels of Celtic with a 2-0 victory at the basement club, Livingston. The Zimbabwe international opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a looping header and as the half-hour mark approached he curled home a second.

A glancing header by Brad Lyons and a well-taken finish by Bruce Anderson, scored in quick succession, propelled Kilmarnock into an early lead.
