Malik Tillman picked the perfect time to score his second league goal for Rangers this season, bagging the opener in their 2-1 win at Motherwell.

4. Aaron Mooy (Celtic) - 8.23 rating
Aaron Mooy marked his second league start in a Celtic shirt with two assists as they eased to a 6-1 win over Hibs over the weekend. The Australian's assists came from two of three key passes while a further three tackles helped Mooy to a WhoScored.com rating of 8.23.

"Duk" earned his first WhoScored.com man-of-the-match award in Aberdeen's 2-0 win over Hearts over the weekend as he had a direct hand in both goals in the home victory.
