SPL round-up: Prodigal son Derek Riordan scored the his first goal since returning to Hibernian to give his side a valuable win at Hamilton in the Scottish Premier League this afternoon.

After only his second game back the Scottish international striker came on as a first-half substitute and promptly scored the only goal of the game.

Edinburgh rivals Hearts also won 1-0 thanks to a Saulius Mikoliunas strike at home to Inverness. The Jambos battling performance considering the players learned they would not be getting paid until next - apparently due to "technical reasons".

St Mirren and Falkirk drew one apiece, while a moment of madness from Aberdeen's Tommy Wright gave Dundee United their first league win in 13 attempts. The former Darlington striker inexplicably handled Craig Conway's corner at the start of the second half and Francisco Sandaza scored expertly from the spot as the visitors won 1-0.
