Rangers ran riot, Celtic maintained their place at the top and Aberdeen continued their 100 per cent start to the campaign. This weekend’s Scottish Premiership action was full of thrills and spills once again.
It was another difficult weekend for Hearts though, as the Jambos’ 3-1 defeat to Motherwell means they are still looking for their first victory of the campaign, while Kilmarnock are still pointless after their 2-0 loss at Pittodrie kept them bottom of the pile. Rangers and Celtic both took comprehensive wins, defeating Ross County 6-0 and St. Mirren 3-0 respectively.
Matchday three in the Scottish Premiership resulted in a number of players showing some outstanding form, with players from Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Motherwell and Dundee United all amongst the highest ranked performances of the weekend.
