Elsewhere, Hearts produced a dominant performance to rout St Mirren, reinforcing their strong start to the campaign.

Read the full story at theguardian.comRangers moving to the top of the Scottish Premiership is a notable statement of intent, particularly with the Naderi goal proving decisive in the match that got them there. Hearts' emphatic win over St Mirren is equally significant, as it keeps them firmly in the upper echelon of the table and demonstrates their attacking depth. With Celtic now looking down rather than up at the table, the title picture in Scotland is taking shape earlier than usual. These results matter because they shift the psychological momentum in a league where the Old Firm dynamic heavily influences how the rest of the season is framed.
