Chris Sutton has named his Scottish Premiership team of the week and surprisingly named three Rangers stars in his XI.
The Light Blues thumped Hibernian in Philippe Clement's first game as manager and the Ibrox club looked far more impressive than they have done over the course of the season so far.
As a result, Celtic hero Sutton could not ignore the city rivals when naming his top performers of the week in the Daily Record.
Giving his take on the weekend's action, he said: "Kyle Vassell bullied Livingston and the skipper’s two goals were key to Kilmarnock’s win. Team-mates Danny Armstrong and David Watson also shone.
"Abdullah Sima maintained his excellent recent scoring run for Rangers and there was a rare strike for the impressive Nicolas Raskin. James Tavernier played well in defence as did Celtic pair Liam Scales and Greg Taylor in their hammering of Hearts.
"Matt O’Riley was magnificent as Celtic restored their seven-point lead in the title race with team-mate Reo Hatate also influential. Zander Clark lost four goals, but he also made a couple of cracking saves."
