It is clear from the weekend's action that there is now two tables within one in the Scottish Premiership. Wins for Celtic, Rangers, Hibs and Aberdeen has seen the top four extend their lead away from the other eight. There is just three points between the latter with Motherwell picking up their first win of the season.
There is a real inconsistency amongst the eight, with the top four, which will likely end up splitting into two leagues of two, showing their quality so far.
Click and scroll through to look at the winners and losers from top-flight weekend.
9. Dons balance
Derek McInnes will have been impressed and enthused with what he saw against Kilmarnock on Saturday. With Tommie Hoban and Ross McCrorie into the side it has allowed the Aberdeen boss to go with a back three. Both were absolutely excellent in the win over Killie and have added a greater resolve to the team, improving on the structure and provided a platform for Marley Watkins, Scott Wright and Ryan Hedges to give the team verve, pace and energy in the final third.

10. Killie positives
Kilmarnock may be joint with 12th place on five points but their performance at Pittodrie showed there could be an upturn sooner rather than later for Alex Dyer’s men. Aberdeen played really well and Killie matched them, while creating chances for themselves. With Youssouf Mulumbu still to come into the side and Aaron Tshibola putting in big performances there shouldn’t be much to worry about for the side. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
11. Scintillating Rangers
Some of the football played by Steven Gerrard’s men was exquisite as they disposed of Dundee United 4-0. A scoreline which probably flattered the visitors. Ryan Kent was once again instrumental, scoring but also playing key roles in goals three and four, both of which saw really intricate, positive play from the Ibrox team.

12. United’s communication problems
It didn’t lead to a goal but three passes and a nutmeg from the Rangers box to Dundee United’s box nearly saw Scott Arfield score a fine goal. It, however, summed up United’s defensive problems. Lawrence Shankland turned to the midfield and gestured to query where they were (20 yards back). Then as Roofe played a pass around the corner Ryan Edwards immediately gestured to a teammate to query his positioning. It wasn’t the United organisation we had become accustomed to under Micky Mellon. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
