4. Kyogo Furuhashi (Celtic) - 8.72 rating

Celtic head into the international break on the back of a fifth win from their last six league outings as Kyogo Furuhashi once again impressed for the Bhoys.

Liam Kelly put in the best-rated performance by a goalkeeper in a Scottish Premiership match this season, returning a WhoScored.com rating of 8.91 as Motherwell ended a five-game winless run with a 2-0 victory at Aberdeen.

The 25-year-old was unbeatable between the sticks, saving all eight shots on target he faced, as the 'Well shot-stopper certainly earned his clean sheet in a backs-to-the-wall win at Pittodrie.

2. Ben Woodburn (Hearts) - 8.93 rating

Liverpool loanee Ben Woodburn got his Scottish Premiership account up and running with a double in Hearts' 5-2 win over Dundee United, finding a way past Benjamin Siegrist with two of five shots at Tynecastle Park.

An additional two tackles means the Hearts star is a worthy winner of the individual award this week.
