That's all for this season's Scottish Premiership but there's still some big domestic games ahead.
Join us on Thursday for the first leg of the Premiership play-off final as Partick Thistle host St Mirren, with live text and radio coverage across BBC platforms. There will also be highlights on BBC Scotland and iPlayer.
Then, on Saturday, it's the Scottish Cup final with Celtic meeting Dunfermline Athletic at Hampden. There will be live BBC TV, radio and live text coverage of that one.
And, next Monday, it's the return leg of the play-off final in Paisley as St Mirren take on Thistle again with more live text, radio coverage and highlights.
After all that, there's the small matter of Scotland's appearance at the World Cup but there will be plenty opportunity to preview in good time.
McCann tips Curtis for World Cup squadpublished at 16:50 BST 17 May
FT: Livingston 1-4 Kilmarnock
Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann tells BBC Scotland: "The performance today was outstanding, considering maybe a lot of people thought this was a dead rubber game, we were still hunting down ninth. Congratulations to Dundee, not only staying up, Elvis [Steven Pressley] has done a brilliant job there.
"After 15 minutes, they had to get a wee jag because it wasn't good enough. They were slack on the ball and we conceded. But after that, I thought we were exceptional."
On scorer Findlay Curtis' World Cup hopes with Scotland, McCann said: "He's got a chance, of course. He's made the last couple of squads and he's really given Steve [Clarke] a nice problem to have.
"I would have him in the squad but I don't ever pick Steve's squad or tell anybody how to pick their own team or squads. All he can do is just do his best. And if it's good enough for Steve, I'll be delighted to see him at the World Cup."

FT: Dundee 3-2 Aberdeen
Dundee manager Steven Pressley tells BBC Scotland: "I'm delighted. I was relatively satisfied with a number of aspects of our performance in the first half.
"I just didn't think we had that aggression in defending our own box, which has been a feature of our performances this year. And to lose a goal from a set play where we've been strong, I was disappointed with that aspect.
"In typical fashion, the players responded how they have all season to adversity by coming back to win the game.
"Scoring a late goal, with the player that scored it, and the team as well, typified our season.
"I'm really proud of the group. To finish eighth in a hugely challenging season is a decent achievement. We want to keep improving but it's given us a platform to continue to grow."

FT: St Mirren 1-1 Dundee United
Dundee United manager Jim Goodwin tells BBC Scotland: "Really pleased with Keir Gilligan at left wing-back. Sam Harding, obviously, getting on the pitch, Scottie Constable and Owen Stirton as well.
"That's an invaluable bit of experience for those guys and hopefully they can take a bit of confidence from that going in to next season.
"We are disappointed with the position that we find ourselves in, in terms of finishing in the bottom half. The campaign as a whole hasn't been a disaster.
"We've never been involved in the relegation battle at the end. The experience of Europe has been great. We've added some real good quality players to the group. On and off the pitch, I think the club is in a good place.
"We know the areas that we need to strengthen and that's going to be the priority between now and the start of next season."

FT: Dundee 3-2 Aberdeen
Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland: "It's not a surprise to me. I know the amount of work that needs done. The last two games I've shown me the work that needs done.
"Footballers are given four and five-year contracts. That's very, very difficult. Some will leave, naturally. I've spoken to everybody this week, told the boys that will be part of it and boys that we don't want part of it.
"No doubt, some will come back because they haven't got options but they'll be coming back on our terms, our work ethic, our fitness levels and our desire to win football matches. Otherwise, they won't play.
"Ultimately, we need changes. We have to look forwards, not backwards. Every player now is battling to be an Aberdeen player.
"We need to get a spine into the team. Another big blow with Mats [Knoester] today by the look of it. Early indications are that it doesn't look good. It's a knee injury - really badly swollen."

Livingston interim player-head coach Scott Arfield tells BBC Scotland: "They were really good, Kilmarnock.
"We got a good goal. We were brilliant for 20 minutes, causing problems. Half-chances that don't become major chances in the game is the difference. At the end, we have three brilliant chances.
"It's a period of large transition [for Livingston]. They need to get it right. the Championship is a tough league to get out of."
Arfield was also asked about his own future and said: "I don't actually know. I've no idea. If it is here then obviously I'll do my best to get the club back up. If it isn't, then I'm very grateful for the experience both as a player and also in this interim role."

St Mirren interim manager Craig McLeish tells BBC Scotland: "The first half had a little of bit of an end-of season feel to it. Second half, I thought we played with more energy, more intensity, we moved the ball quicker.
"Luke Douglas was excellent. Thomas Falconer came on, did well too. Same with Caiden [McMillan].
"It doesn't surprise me with Luke. I've seen him, I've seen him for years. I know the quality he's got and the tenacity he's got. He deserved a standing ovation at the end."
McLeish also spoke about the upcoming two-legged Scottish Premiership play-off final against Partick Thistle.
"If we turn up and perform the way we can then we're confident going into the two games," he said.
"It's going to be a really tough game. I've enjoyed watching Partick under Mark Wilson.
"We're excited, we're looking forward to it - we have to. We have to go in to it with excitement and belief."

BBC Sport Scotland
Ryan Astley crashed in a 90th-minute winner for Dundee against Aberdeen to take them above their visitors to an eighth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership.
Steven Pressley's side knew they had to win to jump above Aberdeen and an inspired second-half comeback was completed when Astley headed in Fin Robertson's corner.
Joe Westley had clipped in the equaliser when Charlie Reilly's shot was saved, which was the perfect response after Liam Morrison and Toyosi Olusanya netted for Aberdeen after Drey Wright's early opener for Dundee.
Wright bundled in after only 10 minutes following a superb Cameron Congreve cross to give Dundee the perfect start.
But their failure to pick up Morrison when Lyall Cameron delivered an Aberdeen corner was costly when the centre-back headed in his first for the Dons.
In first-half stoppage time Cameron's deflected effort was diverted into the net by Olusanya as Aberdeen turned a lively game in their favour.
But Dundee were the more aggressive and forward-thinking side after the break, and Congreve was at the heart of their resurgence.
His flick freed Reilly to run into the box and force a save from Aberdeen's debutant goalkeeper Nick Suman, and Westley was positioned to finish into an empty net.
Dundee targeted Aberdeen's Achilles heel - defending crosses - in the final quarter and eventually a corner got them their reward.
Astley was not picked up at the back post and planted his header into the net to wrap up the win and eighth spot for Dundee, while a bleak campaign for Aberdeen ends with ninth place.
Dundee analysis: Pressley completes turnaround
A comeback win to end the season was a fitting end for the comeback manager of the season.
Pressley arrived last summer to anger and ire from fans, before professing: "If you're looking for a manager that's got a history of winning titles, winning trophies, then I'm not your man."
By the end he was taking a lap of acclaim on the Dens Park pitch.
His self-depreciating style, and more importantly eye for a player and coaching, have come to the fore across the course of the season to change minds at Dundee.
He delivered a first home win over Celtic for 37 years, a point at Ibrox, a first league victory at Pittodrie for 22 years, plus a derby success at Tannadice.
Most importantly Dundee were safe from relegation with two games to spare.
Players like Congreve, captain Ethan Hamilton, and winger Tony Yogane have been some of the best to watch in the league. Pressley can take a bow at a solid year's work.
However, this time a year ago Tony Docherty was sacked by Dundee's famously demanding owners for failing to back up a top-six finish. They ended this campaign two places higher and one point better off.
More than just survival will be expected next season.
Aberdeen analysis: Awful campaign gets fitting finish
This end to Aberdeen's season was just as fitting. A late collapse by conceding from a set-piece, leading to a 20th league game lost. It is their most defeats in a campaign since 2011.
The only bright spot this term has been the unwavering backing of the Aberdeen fans, who sold out another away end at Dens Park despite being served up dirge all season.
They have had to watch 37 different players under three different managers, who have resembled a cast of fleeting and detached characters rather than a coherent football team to be proud of every week.
The belated appointment of Stephen Robinson in March has at least saved Aberdeen from a first-ever relegation, as the former St Mirren boss did enough to drag them through an unbeaten run of four games through April and early May.
If a third bottom-six finish in five years is not a massive wake-up call to every single person at the club then little else will be.
Already the pressure is on to start next season strongly, or the supporters who continue to turn out home and away will head for the exits.
What they said
Dundee manager Steven Pressley: "In typical fashion the players responded how they have all season to adversity by coming back to win the game.
"Scoring a late goal, with the player that scored it, and the team as well, typified our season.
"I'm really proud of the group. To finish eighth in a hugely challenging season is a decent achievement. We want to keep improving but it's given us a platform to continue to grow."
Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson: "Just put the rest of the season in the last five minutes. When we needed to be strong and defend, be organised and speak. We didn't do it. It's not a surprise to me.
"I know the amount of work that needs done here. The last five minutes when you need to show character, nerve, and strength we don't do. It's a micorcosm of the season in those five minutes."

Aberdeen have won nine of their last 12 league visits to Dundee (D1 L2), including each of their last three in a row.
Dundee have only won their final match in one of their last 10 Scottish top-flight seasons (D2 L7), although that did come last term, beating St. Johnstone 2-0.
Aberdeen haven’t won their final league match in any of the last five seasons (D2 L3). They lost 2-1 to Dundee United on MD38 last term, last losing their final game in successive campaigns from 2013-14 to 2015-16 (3 in a row).
