Two Celtic stars, duos from Dundee and Dundee United, and a pair from Motherwell. It’s time for Jonathan Sutherland’s team of the week, so let’s take a look and see who impressed..
Not a vintage weekend for goalkeepers. Sallinger gets the nod for a couple of stops and a clean sheet. An overall impressive addition at Easter Road.
What a big goal. Ended up in hospitality with his celebration, but it was a big moment.
Outstanding again after his goalscoring heroics midweek. An assist for Just as well. Not sure what Celtic don’t see in him.
Goal and a doughty warrior at the back. His four touches in the opposition box was only bettered by teammate Kristijan Trapanovski, while he made more clearances than any other player
A continuous threat down the right for the Dark Blues. What a good loan signing he has been by Steven Pressley. Took eight shots and created three chances.
Pulled the strings in midfield and scored a vital goal. Set up four chances, the most of any United player, and won more duels than any of his teammates.
For me, Elijah Just has to be in with a shout of player of the season. The New Zealand international has been consistently excellent, showing guile, creativity and goalscoring ability. On the scoresheet again this weekend, against Aberdeen. Ghosts around the pitch with elegance, class and endeavour.
Loves Rugby Park. Great on his debut there, scored there against Auchinleck Talbot and sparked Celtic’s comeback on Sunday with a goal of the season contender.
Murray in a hurry at Dens Park. After a barren spell, the Dundee captain looked pumped for action with his quick fire double.
Michael Stewart told me on Sportscene he doesn’t think Chermiti has the potential to be a top striker. But he has scored six of his seven goals this season against Celtic and Hearts, including his hat-trick yesterday on what was a huge occasion.
The challenge for the 21-year-old is to start delivering this sort of performance more consistently against the other sides in the Premiership.
The former Arsenal youth – and nephew of Red Dwarf star Danny John-Jules – was a force of nature for Kilmarnock against Celtic, following on from his midweek hat-trick.
Scored a great goal, clipped the crossbar from a free-kick and just generally showed star potential. Such a shame he limped off with what looked like a thigh muscle strain.
