SPL round-up: Celtic failed to put pressure on Scottish Premier League leaders Rangers by drawing 0-0 against Dundee United at Parkhead.
Shunsuke Nakamura and Scott McDonald hit the woodwork in the first half before United midfielder Craig Conway missed a sitter from six yards out when he headed over with only Artur Boruc to beat.
The Hoops dominated the second half but could not find a way past a resolute Tannadice defence who now look forward to Sunday's CIS Insurance Cup final against Rangers at Hampden.
The jeers rang out around Celtic Park at the final whistle with the realisation that the Ibrox club are three points ahead and with a game in hand as the SPL title race hots up.
Colin Nish boosted Hibernian's Uefa Cup hopes with the only goal in a 1-0 win over European rivals Motherwell. Nish cut through the heart of the Motherwell defence before slotting home as Hibs increased the pressure at the start of the second half.
The Steelmen enjoyed plenty of possession but struggled to carve out clear-cut chances even after Ian Murray's late red card.
The result throws the race for Europe wide open with Hibs moving two points behind Well and Dundee United, who moved into third place with a draw at Celtic.
