A double save from Kilmarnock goalkeeper Anssi Jaakkola denied Motherwell a fourth consecutive Scottish Premier League win as the teams drew 0-0 on Saturday.

The Finnish 'keeper made an early save from Chris Humphrey and frustrated the second-placed hosts by stopping Steve Jennings and Michael Higdon scoring in quick succession just after the interval.

Also Saturday, Liam Buchanan's late penalty kick secured a 1-1 draw for Dunfermline against Inverness in a meeting of the league's bottom two.

Leigh Griffiths' first-half double helped Hibernian beat St. Mirren 3-2 and St. Johnstone began life without manager Derek McInnes with a 0-0 draw at Dundee United.
