As the 2022/23 Scottish Premiership season enters its final few weeks, many people like to draft up their own ‘Team of the Year’ so we thought we’d give it a go ourselves!
Through the eyes of our football reporter - Lewis Anderson - GlasgowWorld has come up with their own ‘Team of the Year’ following on from PFA Scotland’s announcements last week.
With champions Celtic eyeing a Treble, it is unsurprising that SIX of Ange Postecoglou’s title-winning side make the list, while players from Rangers, St Mirren, Aberdeen and Motherwell have also merited their place.
So without further ado, here is our Scottish Premiership ‘Team of the Year for’ season 2022/23 and the reason behind their inclusion in the XI...
Players to have narrowly missed out on selection include:
- Lawrence Shankland - Hearts
- Joe Hart - Celtic
- Danny Armstrong - Kilmarnock
- Malik Tillman - Rangers
- Leighton Clarkson - Aberdeen
- Elie Youan - Hibernian
1. Trevor Carson - Goalkeeper
Club: St Mirren - Has played a monumental role in helping the Buddies achieve a top-six finish. Has kept 10 clean sheets in 35 matches. A superb shot-stopper with excellent reflexes.
2. James Tavernier - Right-back
Club: Rangers - The Ibrox skipper has continued his ever-reliable source of goals this season, scoring 15 times in the league and providing eight assists from full-back. A club stalwart.
3. Cameron Carter-Vickers - Centre-back
Club: Celtic - One of the club’s most consistent performers who has formed a formidable defensive partnership with Hoops team-mate Carl Starfelt. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
4. Greg Taylor - Left-back
Club: Celtic - A near ever-present since joining the Hoops in 2019 from Kilmarnock. Has adapted brilliantly to the inverted full-back role, scoring three goals in 29 appearances. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group
