It initially looks like Boruc, for some reason, looks like he can't be arsed trying to save it. But when you look again, there really was no way of getting to this beauty of a free kick.

SPL Goal of the Week
There was some cracking goals in the SPL this weekend; Skelton's half volley, Driver's angled finish and Donati's pinpoint strike to name a few. But the pick of the bunch came from FourFourTwo's hundredth best player in the world. 30 yards, he swiped his foot diagonally through the ball, creating a menacing curl which raced into the back of the net. It was also the goal which effectively killed off Caley Thistle's chances of a comeback. Naka's goal at 1:40.

SPL Review - Hearts beat Gers, Celtic go top
A rampant Hearts side halted Rangers 5-game winning streak thanks to a 4-2 win at Tynecastle. The win knocks the Gers off of top spot as hearts move up to 7th in the table. A driving drive from Andrew Driver got things rolling for the Jambos, with Tall, Stewart and Ivaskevicius completing the scoring. Cousin continued his goal run from the penalty spot, with Beasley grabbing Rangers 2nd.
This slip up early on gave Celtic the opportunity to move into 1st place, and they took it in style, thrashing Inverness 5-0 at Celtic Park. Caley Thistle put up a decent fight, but they look to be in serious trouble after 0 points so far this season. The biggest name in Scottish football grabbed a brace (that's Vennegoor of Hesselink to those not in the know), with Nakamura and Donati also on the scoresheet.
Just above ICT are Gretna, who lost their 5th game of the season to Kilmarnock. Gibson and Jarvis scored 2 within 36 minutes, before Colin McMenamin missed from the spot. A superb effort outside of the box from Gavin Skelton pulled one back for the home side, but as it has been for much of this season, it wasn't enough. Killie stay 6th.
Another 2-1 game was played out up at Pittodrie, with Motherwell claiming all three points against a wasteful Aberdeen side. 'Well took their chances to go 2-0 up before the break, before Jamie Smith's superb free-kick got one back. Motherwell remain 5th while the Dons stay in 9th place.
Meanwhile Dundee Utd continued their fine start to the campaign with a 2-0 victory over St Mirren. The victory moved them up to 3rd spot, while the Saints slip down to 8th. Jordan Robertson and Noel Hunt with the goals.
Finally, red was the flavour of the day at the Falkirk Stand, sorry stadium, where the ref sent off no fewer than 3 players. Clayton Donaldson was in the thick of the action, winning a penalty, scoring it, and then being sent off for 2 bookable offences. Moutinho equalised after the break to make it 1-1, before teammate Barr was sent off for disputing a throw-in. The poor and scrappy game ended in a somewhat appropriate fashion, as Hibs' Clegg was then sent off after receiving 2 yellow cards.
Unbeaten Hibs slip down to 4th, while the Bairns stay in 10th spot.
