Livingston were held at home by Hibernian as both sides continue to chase their European dream.
It was a goal apiece for third and fifth place, as the two Lothian sides battled it out in an entertaining draw at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
David Martindale named an unchanged side to face the Hibees and his Livingston side dominated for a majority of the first half, finally having the breakthrough with a Craig Sibbald strike in the 29th minute.
After Ryan Porteous mis-timed his header, Sibbald pounced on the second ball and stabbed it home to make it 1-0 to the hosts.
Alan Forrest nearly made it two with a strike from a few yards out, but Ofir Marciano palmed it to safety.
Just before half-time, a defensive mishap at the back gifted the ball to striker Christian Doidge who levelled the scores with a powerful finish.
The second half saw the Hibees have a lot more of the ball, with the visitors looking certain to take the lead in the 55th minute.
Hitting on the break, they should have had the ball in the net, but with Nicky Devlin throwing himself in front of the cross from Alex Gogic, and the subsequent clearance from Jackson Longdrige kept the scores level.
The next chance for the Lions came five minutes later when a Sibbald free-kick met the head of Jon Guthrie, who headed straight at Marciano.
Kevin Nisbet looked certain to put the visitors in front after getting in behind and drove a reverse shot across the face of the goal, but it trickled inches wide of the target.
Another free-kick similar to the previous came for the hosts in the 87th minute, but Guthrie’s header was straight at Marciano again.
The points shared means that Livingston solidify fifth place and edge closer to fourth-placed Aberdeen, who lost against Dundee United at Tannadice.
The Lions sit four points behind the Dons heading into the post-split fixtures.
