Team of the Week

Craig Fowler from A View From the Terrace names his SPFL Team of the Week, with Celtic's James Forrest the star man...

GK - Trevor Carson (St Mirren)
St Mirren may have been held to a draw at home to Kilmarnock but they wouldn't have even got a point if not for the work of their goalkeeper. After making an important stop at the beginning of the second half, Carson made an impressive triple save to keep the game goalless.

DEF - Roberto Nditi (Forfar Athletic)
Forfar haven't had the best of starts in cinch League 2 this season but they got an impressive away win, defeating Elgin City 1-0 despite playing most of the game with 10 men after goalscorer Ben Armour was sent off. Nditi, having just returned from injury, stood out at the back.

DEF - Darragh O’Connor (Greenock Morton)
There were a couple of Morton performers in defence who could have been selected here. We went for O'Connor for his imperious display as the 'Ton held off Raith Rovers before netting a 93rd-minute winner.

DEF - Ben Davies (Rangers)
The multi-million pound summer signing from Liverpool is now finding his feet at Ibrox. He was the star man against Motherwell as Rangers earned an important 2-1 win at Fir Park.

DEF - Sam Fisher (Dunfermline Athletic)
The Pars won the battle at the top of cinch League 1 as they beat Edinburgh 1-0 thanks to a late own goal by the unfortunate Liam Fontaine. But while the veteran defender may like to have that moment back, there was very little to regret for young Fisher, who is on loan from Dundee.

DEF - Paul McLean (Stirling Albion)
McLean was a key man for the Binos as they beat Stenhousemuir 3-1 thanks to two late goals at Ochilview to go top of the cinch League 2 table. The skipper claimed the all-important second goal (it may have been an OG!) and was strong at the back. Yes, he was playing at centre-back so we're cheating a little here, but he deserves his spot for his all-round play.

MID - Paul McMullan (Dundee)
The winger put in a tireless performance and scored a stunning goal as Dundee returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Ayr United in the cinch Championship.

MID - Stephen Kelly (Livingston)
Kelly put in his finest performance in a Livingston shirt to date with an outstanding, all-action showing in his side's 1-0 win over St Johnstone on Saturday. 

MID - Alex Ferguson (East Fife)
A man who in many weeks would have been given the star man tag in this team. The St Johnstone loanee played a part in all four goals, scoring two and setting up the others, as the Fifers humbled Bonnyrigg Rose with a 4-1 triumph in Midlothian.

FWD - Duk (Aberdeen)
Luis Lopes, or Duk to me and you, was a hugely important factor in Aberdeen defeating Hearts 2-0 in the cinch Premiership on Sunday. He was already the stand-out player in the second period before he netted one goal and set up the other for Vicente Besuijen.

FWD - James Forrest (Celtic)
Welcome back to the Team of the Week, Mr James Forrest. And star man status, too! With the increased competition in the attacking areas for Celtic, Forrest hasn't received too many opportunities this campaign, but he certainly took it as Hibs came to town. The winger bagged a hat-trick to remind everyone of his abilities in the 6-1 rout as he reached a century of Celtic goals.
