Sunday brought an example of the Celtic and Rangers dominance as the Glasgow giants defeated fourth-place Motherwell and third-place Hearts 4-0 and 5-0 respectively in what were largely comfortable performances and victories.
It ensures there is just one point separating the rivals at the top of the table going into another midweek round of fixtures.
All the teams from third to seventh failed to win with Dundee United squeezing into the top six courtesy of a draw. There were big wins fro Ross County, Livingston and St Mirren who are all now looking upwards to sixth or even fourth.
At the bottom, Dundee’s troubles continue while St Johnstone edged away from their rivals by a point.
On Friday in the Championship, Arbroath recorded a momentous win, defeating Kilmarnock 1-0 to extend their league at the top with Morton’s rise continuting under Dougie Imrie with a 1-0 success at Inverness.
In the SWPL, there were big wins for Rangers over Glasgow City at the top and Aberdeen, Hearts and Partick Thistle.
There is yet another midweek fixture card in the Scottish Premiership on Wednesday with games also taking place in the Championship on the same night and League One on Tuesday.
The action just doesn’t stop with plenty of games coming up before Scotland’s mammoth World Cup play-off with Ukraine in March.
