Celtic sailed past struggling Hearts in game clouded by VAR controversy, Hibs grabbed their first win against St. Johnstone and Aberdeen held off Motherwell to keep pace at the top of the league as we were treated to another pulsating weekend in the Scottish Premiership.
Dundee United fell to their first defeat of the season as an early strike from Tom Lawrence helped Rangers win 1-0 at Tannadice, while Ross County were extremely impressive as they beat Dundee 2-0 at Dingwall. Elsewhere, St Mirren and Kilmarnock played out a 2-2 draw. But who were the players that 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?
Here are the XI players who were the best in their position this weekend, using ratings from popular statistics website FotMob and a 4-3-1-2 formation, using live photos from the weekend’s matches.
9. CAM: Pape Gueye (Aberdeen)
The Senegalese hitman goes from strength to strength with Aberdeen and is this week's star player with a rating of 9.2. Scored two goals, including a stunning individual strike, completed more dribbles than anyone else on the pitch - and had 100% dribbling accuracy rate. He was the most fouled player on the pitch and won more duels (11) than anyone else. An epic performance. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group

11. CF: Jordan White (Ross County)
The big striker was a man-mountain for the Staggies in the win over Dundee. He won a total of 15 aerial duels and, of course, won the penalty that allowed him to bag the clinching second goal. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
