The resurgent Teddy Bears beat League Cup winners St Mirren 2-1. That’ll but them in good cheer for the Glasgow derby on Saturday.
Heart of Midlothian beat Meadowbank Thistle 1-0 at Tynecastle in the secondary Lothian derby (cc @Cheasty) to move the jambos 6 points clear of Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow Rangers at the summit of the table.

A tense afternoon for Jambons by all accounts after an easy win looked likely early on but failed to materialise.
I see that in the big clash in the Scottish Championship, Barcelona-slayer Tony Watt has scored a blockbuster injury time winner to give Patrick Thistle a 3-2 win over Morton Greenock after the Jags were 0-2 down at half-time.
Could 32 year old Tony Watt return to do a job for striker-seeking Celtic?
Jimmy Thelin sacked as Aberdeen manager after a run of just 1 point from last 4 league games.
The Dons are at Ibrox for the Loving Cup fixture on Tuesday night and face the Teddy Bears at Pittodrie for the second time in the league in 5 days next Sunday.
I always got the sense Lutz Pfannenstiel would want to get his own man in there.

Hopefully Aberdeen do the business here but it’ll be hard. Rangers seem up for it and of course have officials on their side this evening.
1.0 to the huns
The Teddy Bears are absolutely flying at the moment.
That’s some ball of shite Aberdeen have on the goal
The Teddy Bears are building up some head of steam. They’re going to take stopping.
Late to the post here but yes, in my opinion without a doubt the greatest anthem in football. Goosebumps
Heart Of Midlothian go to Dens Park to play Dundee today.
The Jam Tarts will be hoping for a better result than on May 3rd, 1986.
Heart of Midlothian leading 0-1 at Dens Park, Dundee but still early in the second half that they have to face with 10.
That could be a title winning save by Craig Gordon in the last attack of the game. Incredible save to be fair.
I’d actually rather he gets in and gets a run of games for the mini’s. Far more likely to cost them in the long run
You can tell by the full time reaction of his teammates & his manager running onto the pitch to him, along with the subs/replaced players looking at the save on the analyst’s laptop, how big that Gordon save was. About as good as you’ll see. What a title race for the neutral.
Over to the Teddy Bears now at Pittodrie.
Assguard volleys Rangers in front at windy Pittodrie.
0-2
Teddy Bears double their lead at Pittodrie. They are absolutely flying.
VAR probably going to chalk it off though for foul on goalkeeper.
Disallowed. Still 0-1
Goal harshly ruled out there. Association football is supposed to be a physical game. In an aerial or indeed any contest like that it should be tough luck if one player’s superior effort to get to the ball impedes the other player whose effort has not been enough.
