Celtic and Motherwell are both represented by four players in the PFA Scotland Scottish Premier League team of the year.
Adam Matthews, Kelvin Wilson, Charlie Mulgrew and Victor Wanyama have all impressed enough for the champions to be voted as the best players this season by their fellow professionals. Darren Randolph, Shaun Hutchison, Nicky Law and Michael Higdon were all picked from Motherwell.
Partick Thistle, champions of the Irn-Bru First Division, are also well presented from their division; six players from Firhill among those who comprise the first division team of the year. In the second division, just five players do not play for Queen of the South.
Four Rangers players were named in the third division team of the year, with captain Lee McCulloch, Lee Wallace, Andy Little and David Templeton all selected.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
