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.
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.
9. RW: Rabbi Matondo - Rangers
Could it be his Rangers swansong given transfer links to Blackburn? He had the highest rating of the weekend with a close to perfect score of 9.5. The Welsh winger was involved in four of Rangers six goals, scoring two and assisting two, completed the most dribbles in the match and also managed to hit the post. An outstanding weekend performance. | SNS Group
10. CF: Cyriel Dessers - Rangers
He was back amongst the goals yet again at Hampden Park, scoring twice in the thrashing of Ross County. Enjoyed an 88% passing accuracy and 100% shot accuracy as he was handed a rating of 8.9. | SNS Group
11. LW: Pape Habib Gueye - Aberdeen
Another player who bagged a weekend brace, Gueye's double was even more impressive considering his xG was just 0.69. The Senegalese star scored a 8.6 rating for his match-winning performance against Kilmarnock. | SNS Group
