Both Celtic and Rangers earned victories over the weekend.
Chris Sutton has named five Celtic players in his Scottish Premiership Team of the Week after an excellent 5-0 win over leaders Hearts, as well as naming two Rangers stars after victory over St. Mirren.
Celtic blew away Craig Levein’s injury-plagued Hearts thanks to goals from Filip Benkovic, Ryan Christie, James Forrest and a brace from striker Odsonne Edouard, who moved on to double digits.
Rangers also earned three points – just their second league win of the season – as Alfredo Morelos and Daniel Candeias found the back of the net late on in Paisley to move up the table to third place.
Sutton, along with the help of BT Sport presenter Darrell Currie, picked three Celtic goalscorers Edouard, Forrest and Benkovic as well as Kieran Tierney and Callum McGregor, while Morelos and goalkeeper Allan McGregor were also mentioned.
Rangers’ match was marred by controversy, with more instances of coin throwing and Daniel Candeias being sent off despite video replays suggesting he did very little to warrant a second yellow.
Celtic’s dominance has resumed and now they sit one point behind Hearts, with a game in hand. Rangers also have a game in hand over Hearts, but are five points back on 21.
Both Glasgow sides will be in action on Thursday night in the Europa League, as Celtic host German side RedBull Leipzig while Rangers travel to Russia to face Spartak Moscow.
