Just one point separates the Old Firm at the top of the Scottish Premiership after Rangers responded to Celtic's 4-0 win at Motherwell by cruising to a 5-0 victory over Hearts.
Two dominant performances mean it's Rangers and Celtic who dominate the WhoScored.com team of the week, with Ibrox striker Alfredo Morelos achieving a perfect 10 rating.
There is a place for St Mirren goalkeeper Jak Alnwick after his performance saw the Buddies claim three points at Easter Road while Dundee United and Livingston also feature.
Here, WhoScored.com take a look at the five best performing players to make the best XI this week...
Liel Abada had a direct hand in three of Celtic's four goals at Motherwell on Sunday and features on the right flank in the team of the week with a rating of 8.44.
The 20-year-old winger followed up his goal midway through the first half at Fir Park with assists for Tom Rogic's double as Celtic coasted into a first-half lead. Those came from respective returns of three shots and three key passes to cap another excellent afternoon for the Israeli.
John Lundstram produced by far and away his best-rated Scottish Premiership performance following his summer arrival from Sheffield United as Rangers put up a five-star showing against Hearts.
Like Abada, Lundstram also earned a WhoScored.com rating of 8.44 on Sunday as he found a teammate with 91.7 per cent of his 48 attempted passes. The 27-year-old broke the lines well, completing six dribbles, and worked hard off the ball as he made three tackles and two interceptions to feature in midfield.
Staying with Rangers' 5-0 thrashing of Hearts, Ryan Kent returned a pair of assists in the final match of game week 25, providing for Morelos and Fashion Sakala either side of half-time.
The double-of-sorts came from four key passes, while Kent worked hard to pressure the Hearts defence as he made five tackles to help land a WhoScored.com rating of 9.50.
Back to Fir Park now and Tom Rogic just misses out on top spot in the Scottish Premiership best-rated leaderboard this week having earned a rating of 9.90 against Motherwell.
The Australia midfielder fired in goals number four and five for the season in the first half, finding a way past Liam Kelly with two of five shots, and he was unfortunate not to add an assist having managed four key passes in a superb victory.
With a perfect 10 rating, Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos is the WhoScored.com Scottish Premiership player of the week.
He had a direct hand in three of Rangers' five goals against Hearts, beating Craig Gordon with two of eight shots at Ibrox, while he provided the assist for Glen Kamara's second-half goal with one of two key passes to cap a memorable afternoon for the 25-year-old.
