1. CRAIG GORDON - Hearts (GK)
The 39-year-old veteran has looked as good as ever this season, producing an array of stunning saves as the Jambos cruised to third place in the league. Kept his side in the Scottish Cup Final with several important stops. Photo: Rob Casey - SNS Group
2. JAMES TAVERNIER - Rangers (RB)
The Gers captain has again proved a dangerous attacking threat, scoring 15 goals and providing 16 assists from right-back. Finished as the Europa League’s top scorer - a sensational achievement given he didn’t find the net until after the group stages Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
3. CAMERON CARTER-VICKERS - Celtic (CB)
Joined on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur and has been an absolute rock at the heart of the Hoops defence. A strong and commanding presence - Celtic fans will hope he signs a permanent deal Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group
4. CALVIN BASSEY - Rangers (CB)
