With Celtic’s home clash against Dundee postponed, we had slightly reduced fixture in the Scottish Premiership this weekend - but there’s was no lack of top performances.
Rangers broke their away day curse with a commanding 3-1 comeback victory over high-flying Dundee United, while Aberdeen’s troubles continued as they further behind in the race for the top three after being whacked 3-0 by St Mirren at Pittodrie.
There was a vital 2-1 win for basement club St Johnstone, who scored two dramatic late goals to sink struggling Motherwell, while Hibs’ unbeaten run continued with a 1-1 draw at Ross County. There was a big victory on the other side of the capital too, as Hearts edged out Kilmarnock 3-2 in a highly entertaining game at Tynecastle.
But who were the best individual performers this weekend? Who showed up the most, and put in a top performance for their team?
Using a 433 formation and statistics from popular football site FotMob, here is the the Scottish Premiership team of the weekend.
