Despite being held to a 1-1 draw with Dundee United, Liel Abada is the first of two Celtic players to feature in the team of the week. The teenage winger scored the opening goal - his third of the season - finding a way past Benjamin Siegrist with one of four efforts on goal.
The 19-year-old was unfortunate not to add an assist, too, as he created three goalscoring chances to contribute towards his WhoScored.com rating of 8.29.
Defending champions Rangers are the dominant side in the team of the week, with goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin the highest-rated Gers representative.
Rangers were made to work hard for their 1-0 win at Dundee as the 34-year-old put in a solid rearguard showing. Indeed, McLaughlin made six saves, including a second-half penalty stop, to feature between the sticks with a WhoScored.com rating of 8.44.
Only Martin Boyle (six) and Liam Boyce (five) have now scored more Scottish Premiership goals than Tony Watt this season after he bagged his fourth of the campaign in Motherwell's 2-1 win over Ross County. Watt netted 10 minutes from time to secure victory, scoring with one of four shots.
The 27-year-old was difficult to stop, completing four dribbles, while the Ross County backline took to extreme measures to limit his influence as he was fouled three times to make the team of the week with a WhoScored.com rating of 8.49.
Hearts fans will have been buoyed by Cameron Devlin's full debut for the club as the 23-year-old landed the WhoScored.com man of the match award in their 3-0 win over Livingston.
Devlin was a ball-winning machine as he made eight tackles; no player has made more in a Scottish Premiership match this season. Two interceptions, one key pass and one successful dribble capped a memorable display from the Australian and helped secure a spot in the best XI with a WhoScored.com rating of 8.53.
With a rating of 8.58, Celtic winger Jota is the WhoScored.com Scottish Premiership player of the week. The 22-year-old was unable to help Celtic to victory against Dundee United, yet he provided the assist for Abada's opener, that coming from one of three key passes in Sunday's 1-1 draw.
Jota was in a confident mood at Parkhead as he mustered seven shots and was impressive out of possession, too, as he made three tackles to contribute towards his inclusion in this side.
