The Scottish Premiership league table has an unusual look to it already. A number of teams have played four games, some three, others two and for Aberdeen, they haven’t played since the opening day of the season when they lost to Rangers. Yet, the Dons are still not bottom.
There were more twists, even at this early stage in the season, with the two 100 per cent records falling as Sky Sports broadcast the two goalless fixtures. But there was still plenty of entertainment and plenty to get the teeth into.
Scroll down and click through for a review of the past weekend in the Scottish Premiership, seeing who and what is hot and who and what is not.
9. Clive Tyldesley debut
Rangers TV have recruited commentator Clive Tyldesley. From the off he mentioned to Rangers fans that they would know more than him as they watched on the stream. But over the 90 minutes he demonstrated a sense of humour, excellent knowledge and offered his own opinion on situations as he built a rapport with co-commentator Kevin Thomson.

10. Captain undroppable?
Every year it rears its head: Is this the season where Scott Brown’s influence really wanes? The first two matches of the Scottish Premiership season suggests it is, especially Sunday at Rugby Park where he was replaced by Olivier Ntcham after a performance which was most notable for a high challenge on Aaron Tshibola. He didn’t help out his two centre-backs and he epitomised the on-epaced nature of Celtic’s play. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
11. Jullien’s struggles
Celtic boss Neil Lennon admitted after the match that his £7million centre-back was rusty after he was bulldozed time and again by Nicke Kabamba. Twice he was caught by the striker, pace and not dealing with bouncing balls. And, of course, it was his slack play which gave away the penalty. There is something about artificial pitches and strong, willing target men he just really doesn’t like. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
12. Nice Kabamba
One of the performances of the weekend was delivered by Nicke Kabamba. The Kilmarnock target man ran Kristoffer Ajer and, in particular, Christopher Jullien ragged. He had a lot of responsibility on his shoulders with not too much support centrally. Yet, he took it on and ran with it, behind the Celtic defence, into the channels, used his physique to rough them up. It was the perfect frontman performance and he deserved a goal.
