WITH several Celtic talents plying their trade away from Parkhead this season, we take a look at how they fared over the weekend.
Scottish Premiership
Ryan Christie (Aberdeen)
Christie was back in for the Dons, playing a full 90 minutes and providing an assist for Andrew Considine as his side beat Hamilton Accies 3-0 at Pittodrie.
Scott Allan (Hibernian)
Fresh from completing his deadline day move to Easter Road, Allan made an immediate impact for his new side by winning a penalty that Jamie MacLaren converted to secure a 2-1 win over Rangers at Ibrox. The midfielder was selected from the start by Neil Lennon before being replaced with 12 minutes remaining.
Nadir Ciftci (Motherwell)
It was a day to remember for Ciftci, who scored his first goal for Motherwell, his first strike since May 2016, to help the Steelmen earn a point at home to Partick Thistle.
Speaking after the game, the Turk said: "It's been such a long time, I didn't know what to do. I have mixed feelings. It is great to score a goal, but I think we deserved more than a point."

Scottish Championship
Lewis Morgan (St Mirren) and Joe Thomson (Queen of the South)
Saints’ march towards the Championship title continued on Saturday with a 2-0 win at home to Queen of the South. Morgan completed another 90 minutes as his side opened up a 14-point lead over Dundee United in second. Thomson also completed the full match, picking up a yellow card in the process.
Sam Wardrop (Dumbarton)
Dumbarton’s fixture against Brechin was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Scottish League One
Regan Hendry (Raith Rovers)
Rovers returned to the top of the table thanks to a 3-1 win away to Queen’s Park, but Hendry was only afforded one minute of game time as a late substitute.
Jamie McCart (Alloa)
McCart played a full 90 minutes as Alloa recorded an impressive 2-1 win away to Ayr United that lifted them into the play-off places.
English League One
Kundai Benyu (Oldham)
Benyu was an unused substitute for the second week running as Oldham recorded a 2-1 win at home to Bradford City.
