Fan reactions to key Scottish Premiership matches including Sinisalo's standout performance, Ferguson's interim impact at Rangers, and mounting pressure on McInnes.

Weekend Highlights from the Scottish Premiership

Celtic's Commanding Victory: Sinisalo Impresses in Net

Celtic cruised to a 3-0 win over Hearts, with stand-in goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo earning plaudits for his composed performance.

  • Scott: "Maeda proving his worth again - why was he ever stuck on the left? Sinisalo looked assured with his feet and under pressure. Eight more clean sheets would be perfect."
  • Shaun: "Defensive passing was frustrating early on, but Sinisalo's calmness at corners was refreshing compared to Schmeichel's panic."

Rangers' Rollercoaster Win: Ferguson's Managerial Debut

A chaotic 4-3 victory over Dundee divided Rangers fans on interim boss Barry Ferguson:

  • William: "Dessers works tirelessly but Butland's errors are inexcusable for a top-tier keeper."
  • Ronnie: "Ferguson's halftime changes won the game - something Clement never managed. Defensive shambles, but the fight was back!"

Top-Six Race Heats Up

  • Hibs secured top-six with a 3-0 win over St Johnstone, extending their unbeaten run to 15 games.
  • Aberdeen thrashed Motherwell 4-1, reigniting hopes for European qualification.
  • Dundee United edged Ross County 1-0 to strengthen their top-six push.

Pressure Mounts on Managers

  • Kilmarnock's Derek McInnes under fire following a 5-1 thrashing by St Mirren: "Tactically clueless all season" (James).

Relegation Fears Loom

  • St Johnstone fans resigned to the drop after a "shocking" defeat to Hibs.
  • Dundee supporters lamented defensive frailties after squandering a 3-1 lead against Rangers.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Sinisalo staking claim for Celtic's #1 role.
  2. Rangers' revival under Ferguson – temporary or permanent?
  3. Top-six battles intensify as Hibs, Aberdeen, and Dundee United shine.
  4. McInnes and Critchley face fan backlash.
