Celtic saw off Rangers yet again, the Aberdeen train continues at speed and Dundee United remain unbeaten. It was another exhilarating weekend in the Scottish Premiership, wasn’t it?
For Hearts, last year’s top three finish and European qualification must feel like a lifetime away, with the Jambos in the bottom two after losing at home to Dundee United on another dismal day at Tynecastle. Kilmarnock are also struggling and prop up the table at present, but can find some consolation from picking up their first point of the season with a 1-1 draw against Hibs at Rugby Park. Elsewhere, Motherwell’s Moses Ebiye secured an injury-time win over St Johnstone with a 94th minute goal at McDiarmid Park, while Dundee and St. Mirren played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at Den’s Park.
Matchday four in the Scottish Premiership resulted in a number of players producing scintillating displays, with players from Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Dundee and Dundee United all amongst the highest ranked performances of the weekend.
