Sports Mole rounds up all the action from the final games of the Scottish Premier League season.

St Johnstone secured a place in next season's Europa League with a 2-0 win over Motherwell in their final game of the Scottish Premier League season.

Liam Craig broke the deadlock in the 35th minute with a long-range effort, before Nigel Hasselbaink doubled their lead at the start of the second half.

Motherwell, having already claimed second place, rarely looked like getting back into the match, having just three shots all game.

A first-half brace from Georgios Samaras helped Celtic finish their title-winning season with a 4-0 win over Dundee United.

Kris Commons opened the scoring in the 11th minute, before further efforts from Samaras, and a goal five minutes from full time from Anthony Stokes sealed the win for the Hoops.

A goal just before half time was enough to secure all three points for Ross County in their match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

A scrappy first half saw few chances for either side, but a 42nd-minute corner delivered by Paul Lawson allowed Andre Hainault to pounce, putting the home side ahead.

Inverness had the majority of the possession throughout the match, but rarely threatened to score, testing Paul Gallacher just once.

Results in full: Dundee United 0-4 Celtic, Ross County 1-0 Inverness Caledonian Thistle, St Johnstone 2-0 Motherwell
