Last updated on .From the section Scottishcomments80

Hearts' Peter Haring and Hamilton goalkeeper Gary Woods
Peter Haring scores beyond Gary Woods on Saturday.

The Premiership season is finally here and already we've had plenty of talking points.

There has been no shortage of drama over the first six games with Hearts currently top of the standings.

From steady performances at the back with the likes of John Souttar, to St Mirren's Danny Mullen grabbing an opening-day double.

Here, BBC Scotland commentator Rob Maclean picks out his team of the week from the Premiership's top performers.

    I already think (and im not an old firm fan) that Stevie G is gonna go from one of the most likeable figures in UK football to a hero to rangers fans but a complete idiot to the rest of Scottish football. One league game in and Ryan (insert swear word) Jackis a better midfield player than he was and all the officials are out to get his team. I already think i dont like him.

    Agree with most of the comments below; also, press raving about McGinn's performance and he doesn't make it......?? Given the Hibees played on Thurs and flew home Fri; to 'murder' Motherwell (even with their weakened side) shows real fight and quality - but only Mallen makes this combined 11. Mmmmm.

    Very strange that John McGinn didn't make it in. Another top performance from him. Shame him and Mallan won't get to work together in all likeliness as they already have the makings of a real midfield dream team

    'the whole world is against us' except Rob McLean!

    Bizarre choice with some of those players especially Gary Woods, let's in four goals and makes team of the week!

    Oh, and let's stick Tavernier in front of him as a centre half in a back three! Stick with commentaries Maclean, your management skills are in doubt. TT

    A blockbuster end to the first weekend of League football with a dramatic game at Pittodrie followed by controversial comments by Steven Gerrard. Why no HYS on that?

    @44, religious bigotry has no place in football or in a modern society. It’s time sectarian schooling was stopped. Scotland and NI are fantastic places with great people but much the worse for dividing children in schools. It perpetuates hate rather than reconciliation. The hate should be in the past and the religious rhetoric in football should be as bizarre to you as it is to everyone else.

    Just waiting for soccer_mane, Benny Tez, Chelseabill, Knighton Palace and the other anti-Scottish morons to crawl out of their respective bedrooms in their mother's house to post comments such as "pub league,Mickey Mouse....ect". Yawn....but sticking to the point, a good first week of Scottish football, enjoyed all the games.

    "Rangers were the team that has no class"
    oh dear one has shot oneself in the foot, me thinks.

    As Michael Stewart says, Rangers have never finished second.
    Or first in the SPFL for that matter.
    Charlie Adam is desperate for a move to the SPFL, but to be fair to Rangers, I don’t think they want a veteran Championship level player.
    I’m trying to think of a Championship club that might want him from Stoke.
    Maybe Partick Thistle would take a punt on him ‘til Christmas?

    @28 why does everyone hate Rangers can't think why. Nice fans, tolerance to others.

    Celtic with Rogic on the bench would batter that team
    Just saying

    Why is tavernier in at centre half and Mallan on the right.

    Does Rob McLean's team of the week really represent the best players or is he just trying to fit people in....change the formation that's just appalling.

    Rangers drew but have 3 people in the squad.....hearts also have 3, some favouritism for the dark side of the force me thinks

    @28 Baz,

    History of RFC is 54 titles! The next one, whenever that may be? will be number ONE for RIFC 2012.

    Nevermind.
    To the Champions League we Progrès!

    Some strange seletcions there. 3 Govan players despite being unable to beat a poor tired side. Gerrard already sounding like Pedro tick tock another breakdown is coming. What game did he watch, they were pinned back the majority of the game the one shot on target scored. This was a poor Aberdeen performance, but they ground a result against a "better class outfit" Gerrard clueless and classless.

    The one real class act in the 'team of the week' is Magic Rogic, he'll terrorise Sevco next month...

    No Samson? Strange considering he saved a penalty and made some really impressive saves to keep Saints in the game.
