Leon Balogun wasn’t among the goal scorers as goals from Sam Lammers, Danilo, Abdallah Sima, and Kieran Dowell’s stunner, saw the quartet all open their Gers accounts to get the Premiership campaign up and running with the experienced defender helping the team keep a clean sheet.

“It was nice to get a clean sheet and overall when I pick the bones out of it, there is work to do, but there are a lot of positives. We have a huge game on Tuesday and then another home game in the Cup next week,” Micheal Beale said after the game.

It was another action-packed weekend in the Scottish Premiership with wins for Rangers, Celtic, Motherwell, St Mirren, and Ross County but it is the Ibrox side who have three players in the latest team of the week after they beat Livingston 4-0 to make amends for their defeat on the opening weekend of the new season.

Celtic took the final place after they secured their place at the top of the table with a 3-1 win over Aberdeen.
