The phones were red hot after a packed weekend of action heading into the international break

The dust is settling on a blockbuster weekend of Premiership action - and Celtic remain four points ahead as we head into the international break.

But that doesn't tell the full story of the weekend for the Hoops after they were made to work for their narrow 1-0 win over rock bottom Kilmarnock at Celtic Park.

Paul Price, Glasgow wasn't happy with the performance, stating: "Regular Hotline readers will know I think the world of Martin O'Neill and what he has achieved so far in his second spell in charge. Now, after witnessing the most lacklustre – and I have to add embarrassing – performance by Celtic at home against a team that are lacking in confidence and self-belief. I only want to say, to each and every Celtic player involved in the game...when you get up in the morning can you seriously look in the mirror and say you are Celtic class?"

Kenny WIlson, Moffat was also concerned. He emailed: "Three points for the champions but once again another average display and I thought some players were feeling the effect of Thursday night's game. Still didn't look solid in defence and Killie had their chances to steal a point."

Rangers fans also were not impressed with their showing against St Mirren with Derek McInnes' men managing to seal a 2-0 win in Paisley.

Iain Morrison. Livingston said: "Another poor performance from Rangers at Paisley. Going to win hee-haw with performances like this. As a Rangers fan, never a penalty. Last international break came at a bad time. This one is coming at the right time."

Robert Livingstone, Palm Beach said: "Rangers were in control of the game but surely McInnes should be concerned by only scoring two goals, one a dubious penalty, when they passed up chances for a few more? Kelsy and Naderi were the culprits, chance's that would be food and drink for Shankland. Hopefully he's back soon as they're going to need him in this two horse race to the finish."

Russell Black, Banchory wanted to see one man become more involved, adding: "Rangers need to get their act together pronto and get Findlay Curtis tied down with a contract, he also needs to be given game time from the start of matches. We have been woeful with our corners this season, deliveries have been poor, Curtis is well able to deliver a good ball from the corner and from free kicks. I can’t understand why McInnes is not using him."

The decision to award James Penrice a spot kick also sparked major scrutiny. The Light Blues were awarded a spot kick by referee Nick Walsh when the wing-back went down in the box under pressure from Buddies' defender Samuel Ramos.

Whistler Walsh was backed up by Greg Aitken in the VAR room and Ryan Naderi stepped up to break the deadlock.

Andrew Welsh said: "I don't want to hear any more Rangers supporters saying anything about decisions going against them, that's two weeks in a row they have got away with the prize. No sending off and a penalty that should have been given, and then that dive against St Mirren. The referee should be stood down for a couple of weeks, shocking."

Irked Henry Moffat, Stirling said: "I was well aware of the furore surrounding decisions for Rangers this year, but after seeing the clip showing match changing calls in their favour in every game this season it's clear something is not right here. It's time UEFA stepped in and looked at this."

Stephen Robinson is facing major pressure after Aberdeen slumped to a 4-0 defeat to Hibs at Pittodrie - that sent the club to 11th spot in the table.

Tam Bain, Desborough said: "Now do you believe, I've been saying for weeks now Robinson has to go? Also the whole Aberdeen board must look at themselves, a few of them have to follow Robinson out the door. Wholly unacceptable dross."

Rab from Dumfries said: "How can Robinson survive? Losing to Rangers was disappointing but being taken apart by the 1960s, hoofball exponents from the bottom of the league is totally unacceptable - he must go!"
