Celtic all but wrapped up the Scottish Premiership title with victory against Rangers, while the battle to avoid the relegation play-off is going to the wire.

There is one Celtic player in the best XI after their 2-1 win against their Old Firm rivals left them needing just one point from their remaining two games to secure a third straight league trophy.

Motherwell have three players represented after their impressive 5-1 win at Ross County left the Staggies in danger of ending another season in the play-off.

St Johnstone are also at risk after they lost 2-1 to already relegated Livingston who have three players included in this week's team of the week.

There are two Aberdeen players included after they impressed with a 4-0 win at Hibernian.

Kilmarnock take one place after securing Europa League football with a 1-0 win at St Mirren. Hearts take the final place after their 3-0 victory at home to Dundee.
