SPFL Premiership Team of the Season

[accies1874]

Jones and McGinn probably wouldn't have been in mine (replaced by Candeias and Ntcham), but, in all honesty, it's hard to argue with their selection. 

[jagfox]

Surprised not to see Danny Devine listed. He was a favourite with 11/12 teams in the league... 

[Im_Rodger]

Only McGinn I disagree with.

[Scotty Tunbridge]

Tavernier in that team?

[Im_Rodger]

Surprised they chose Boyd over Sarris.

Is that the highest number of Scottish players in a Scottish top league team of the year for a while?

This is the PFA one so I think it's a different team but still relevant. I've counted players as being Scottish if the played for Scotland. Kris Commons for example was born in England but I've counted him.

2017/18 - 8/11 = 72.73%
2016/17 - 5/11 = 45.45%
2015/16 - 6/11 = 54.55%
2014/15 - 5/11 = 45.45%
2013/14 - 8/11 = 72.73% (non Scots were Fraser Forster, Virgil Van Dijk and Nadir Ciftci)
2012/13 - 3/11 = 27.27%
2011/12 - 5/11 = 45.45%
2010/11 - 4/11 = 36.36%
2009/10 - 8/11 = 72.73% (non Scots were Sasa Papac, Steven Davis and Liam Miller)

Who would you replace him with ?

Ntcham would swap with McGeouch in my team .

I would have had Callum McGregor over both of them, apart from that I agree with this team

I really love the meltdowns people have over things like this.

Sorry not on here, but some replies on Twitter are excellent. 

 

[Swello]

I'm surprised any Rangers player made it - but other than Tavernier, I wouldn't argue with any of the other selections. Interesting that only 3 Celtic players made it - was there some sort of limit per team?

The Clyde fans were particularly entertaining over David Goodwillie not being in the team of the season.

Really lol?  If there was going to be any lower division striker on the list the most deserving would be Lawrence Shankland, who scored more goals, in a higher division, and helped his team win something. 

Clyde fans seem to be a funny lot

[Radford]

Does anyone know the PFA Scotland Team of the Year for the Premiership? It was never announced this year and isn't on the Wiki link above.

There was a team of the season for each division.

So, even in the League 2 team of the season, Goodwillie still didn't make it in.  Quite right too.

I counted 9 Scots in this year's team. Tavernier and Jones the non-Scots.

[DrewDon]

I'd probably have McLean for McGeouch and Candeias for Jones, but I find it hard to disagree with the rest of the team. Certainly no outrageous inclusions.

No idea why I thought McGeough was Irish!

Should read their thread on here. They reckon he's "good enough to start for 90% of clubs in the Country" and that he's Jack Ross' priority signing when he joins Sunderland. 

They're not even joking. 

[Archie McSquackle]

A bit surprised at McLaughlin in goals, never really stood out for me. Would have gone for Gordon or Carson although Gordon may have missed out due to the amount of games he missed through injury.
