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.
But who made the Scottish Premiership team of the weekend? Here are the XI players who were the best in their position this weekend, using ratings from popular statistics website FotMob and a 4-3-3 formation, using live photos from the weekend’s matches.
9. CF: Daizen Maeda - Celtic
Like an energizer bunny, the Japanese forward never stops and was the Hoops best player as they won another Old Firm convincingly. His performance was scored at 8.7. He scored the opening goal, assisted another and created three chances for his team. Outstanding. | SNS Group
10. CF: Curtis Main - Dundee
The big striker was excellent against his former team St. Mirren at the weekend, and was awarded an 8.2 rating for his performance. A constant presence all game, he scored Dundee's first goal and won 100% of his aerial duels, alongside making clearances (2) in his own box! | SNS Group
11. CF: Mikael Mandron - St. Mirren
A real handful for defences, Mandron grabbed a deserved goal in the 2-2 draw with Dundee. He also had a 70% passing accuracy record, while three of his four shots hit the target. | SNS Group
