Celtic hit St. Johnstone for six, a nervy Rangers side edged past battling Hibs and Dundee United and Kilmarnock shared the spoils in a six-goal thriller. The Scottish Premiership is never boring, is it?
There was also a dramatic 96th minute Lawrence Shankland equaliser as Hearts rescued a 1-1 draw against Ross County to halt a run of eight defeats in a row, while both sides had a man sent off at Fir Park as a Lennon Miller double fired Motherwell into fourth with a 2-1 victory over St Mirren. The impressive Aberdeen continued their 100% start to the season too, as two first-half goals helped them beat Dundee 2-1 at Den’s Park.
But which the players stood out above the rest this weekend? Who grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and ensured their team took a vital three points?
