Scotland: Latest news from the Scottish Premiership

-

 Let's explore some of Saturday's news and stories from the Scottish Premiership.

Aberdeen 3 - 1 Motherwell

Aberdeen roared back to form with an emphatic win over Motherwell

Kevin van Veen's penalty offered only a consolation for Motherwell, who are 11 games without a league win. They are only off the bottom on goal difference. 

Duk's header capped Aberdeen's first-half dominance before two delicious finishes from Bojan Miovski halted the Pittodrie side's sequence of five straight defeats.

You can listen to the thoughts of Barry Robson in the video below.

Aberdeen had suffered a miserable run of form. Click the links below to read about some of their recent performances.

Hearts 3 - 1 Dundee United

Stephen Humphrys scored the goal of the season after his Hearts side came back to sink 10-man Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership.

Humphrys scored Hearts' third goal in stoppage-time from his own half. That stunning strike came after Lawrence Shankland and Alex Cochrane turned the game in the hosts' favour in the last 20 minutes.

Steven Fletcher had given United a deserved lead before Ryan Edwards' red card for a tackle on Andy Halliday changed the game before the break.

Livingston 3 - 1 Kilmarnock 

Livingston moved up to fourth in the Scottish Premiership as three goals inside the opening half-an hour earned a comfortable win over Kilmarnock.

Joel Nouble made his mark on his first start since November, nodding the hosts in front. This was before a cushioned Bruce Anderson finish and a sensational Stephen Kelly volley left Kilmarnock stunned and struggling.

Christian Doidge's first goal for the visitors wasn't enough as the Ayrshire club continue their search for a first away league win of the season.

Livingston now continues their pursuit of Europe. That is something that will be a huge boost for the club's finances and profile. 

Watch the video below to see the highlights of the match.

There has been a managerial change at Old Trafford. Manchester United have sacked manager Erik ten Hag due to the club's disappointing start to the season. Author - Olivia T Ten Hag's last match ended in a 2-1 defeat against West Ham , leaving the club in 14th place in the Premier League with only three wins from their first nine matches. The Red Devils are also 21st of 36 teams in the Europa League league stage, having drawn their three opening matches. Club sources from the club have reportedly suggested that this was a difficult decision but a unanimous one among all the key decision makers.  The club exercised a one-year extension in Ten Hag's contract after their FA Cup final win against Manchester City in May . However, just over three months later, he has been dismissed. United currently sit on 11 points after nine games, marking their second-lowest tally in the Premier League at this stage (only slightly better than the 10 points they had in the 2019-20 season)

Manchester United 5 - 2 Leicester City  Ruud van Nistelrooy began his tenure as Manchester United’s interim manager on a high, with his team cruising past Leicester to secure a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. Author - Olivia T Just two days after stepping in following Erik ten Hag's dismissal , Van Nistelrooy’s call for an exciting performance was more than delivered by his players. Casemiro got the party started with a stunning long-range strike and went on to score again before half-time. After an initial header rattled off both posts, the Brazilian reacted quickly to slot the ball in from eight yards out. Alejandro Garnacho contributed his fifth goal of the season , and captain Bruno Fernandes had a bit of luck with his free-kick, which deflected off Leicester’s James Justin and into the net. Defensively, United weren’t flawless. Some familiar issues allowed Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady to pull goals back for Leicester before the break. Coady’s finish, a firs
