Report from the BBC.

Ross County 1 Saint Johnstone 1

Sean Higgins came off the bench to grab a late equaliser for Ross County and dent St Johnstone's title hopes.
Peter MacDonald gave the Saints the lead in the sixth minute when he volleyed home a Paul Sheerin corner.
The Perth side should have been further ahead before the break but County's new Italian goalkeeper Matteo Tomei pulled off a fine stop from Jason Scotland.
County gradually got back into the game with a fine second-half performance and Higgins swept home the equaliser.
