A look back at the weekend’s Scottish Premiership action

Winner – Mohamed Elyounoussi

Phone-gate. What an absolute nonsense that turned out to be. Okay, so the Norwegian had a look at his phone after being subbed. Big deal. Who cares? It maybe wasn’t the most professional of moves but certainly wasn’t the heinous crime some made it out to be.

There has to be something said for pundits and former players over-exaggerating every little thing. You don’t have to have a strong opinion on everything, sometimes you can just shrug your shoulders.

If anything, Paul Lambert's Jock Stein comments gave us all a good laugh.

Elyounoussi's rebuttal came in the form of a hat-trick. He was aided by some really poor defensive play from Motherwell for the first two goals but just when Celtic were under the cosh slightly he produced a real moment of magic, channelling Cristiano Ronaldo to rise at the back post and just stay there has if he was on a step ladder to head his team 3-1 in front and complete the hat-trick.

Now Neil Lennon needs more big moments from the on loan Southampton ace. He has the talent but has yet found the consistency at Parkhead.

Winner – Rangers goal difference

There are so many different players who could be chosen or facets of the teams play or Steven Gerrard in general. This Rangers team, nay squad, look very, very good. They were 8-0 up and bringing Ianis Hagi off the bench!

Celtic closed the gap back to six points with their win at Motherwell but it was back to nine and in some fashion, talk about dealing with pressure.

Rangers will want any advantage they can get this season to ‘stop the ten’. They are effectively ten points ahead at the moment with their goal difference now 13 better than Celtic’s.

Winners – Dons’ Hardy Boyz

In midfield, Derek McInnes has the equivalent of the Bash Brothers in Lewis Ferguson and Ross McCrorie. They give the platform for Aberdeen
