A thrilling finish at Ibrox saw Bojan Miovski score a last-minute goal to secure a 1-0 Premiership victory for Rangers over St Mirren. After a two-game touchline suspension, manager Derek McInnes returned to the technical area, witnessing his team struggle against Jacob Chapman, the Australian goalkeeper for St Mirren, who made several key saves in the first half. Despite increased confidence from Craig McLeish’s side, which included a missed opportunity from Fraser Taylor, Rangers fans grew increasingly restless.

In a dramatic conclusion, Miovski, who replaced Djeidi Gassama, found the net in the dying moments, marking Rangers' fourth consecutive win.

Meanwhile, Celtic continued their unbeaten streak, edging out St Johnstone with a 1-0 victory at McDiarmid Park, thanks to summer signing Mika Baur, who scored his first goal for the club early in the second half. The match saw a standout performance from debutant keeper Sam Johnstone, who made an impressive save to deny Joel Cotterill before Baur's goal.

Head coach Martin O’Neill showcased the squad's depth ahead of the upcoming Old Firm clash, resting key players like Camilo Duran, Benjamin Nygren, and Kieran Tierney. Despite not being at their best, Celtic secured their sixth consecutive league win, extending their total to 13 victories, dating back to the previous season.
