Team of the Week

Craig Fowler from A View from the Terrace names his SPFL XI with Kilmarnock's David Watson the Star Man...

GK - Darren Jamieson (Stenhousemuir)

Two big saves from the goalkeeper kept Stenhousemuir's one-goal lead intact during their cinch League Two trip to East Fife. His performance was rewarded when Adam Brown sealed a 2-0 victory deep into stoppage time to give the Warriors their first league win of the campaign.

DEF - Odel Offiah (Hearts)

The Brighton and Hove Albion loanee thoroughly impressed on his debut, including scoring the second goal as Hearts defeated Partick Thistle 4-0 to make it through to the quarter finals of the Viaplay Cup.

DEF - Richard Taylor (St Mirren)

Taylor was excellent at the back for the Buddies as an early screamer from Caolan Boyd-Munce helped Stephen Robinson's Buddies to get the better Motherwell in the Viaplay Cup.

DEF - Charlie Fox (Queen’s Park)

The Spiders kept up their 100 per cent record in the cinch Championship with a second consecutive victory over Arbroath. The visitors weren't at their fluid best at Gayfield, but managed to come away with a 1-0 victory thanks in large part to a stellar defensive performance from Fox.

DEF - Greig Young (Dumbarton)

A half-time change of formation and the introduction of Blair Malcolm as a physical presence in the centre helped turn a 1-0 deficit into a 3-1 win for Dumbarton against Dumbarton. We're going with the youngster whose industry down the flank was apparent all game long.

MID - Elie Youan (Hibs)

A goal and an assist from the exciting French attacker helped Hibs overcome a tough opponent in Raith Rovers at Easter Road to book themselves a place in the last eight of the Viaplay Cup.

MID - Scott Brown (Raith Rovers)

We're going from two players from the same game at Easter Road. Though the hosts progressed with a 2-1 win, Rovers put in a thoroughly impressive performance with Brown a stand-out in the centre of the park.

MID - David Watson (Kilmarnock)

This week's star man comes from Rugby Park as Derek McInnes' men eliminated the reigning Viaplay Cup holders Celtic with a 1-0 win. Watson, always impressive since breaking into the first team last season, was exceptional in the engine room as his work rate and battling qualities disrupted Brendan Rodgers' side.

MID - Ross Cunningham (Kelty Hearts)

Two goals from the winger was enough for Kelty to find victory during their cinch League 1 encounter with Alloa Athletic, who had to settle for an excellent Cammy O'Donnell free-kick in injury time as a consolation goal in a 2-1 loss.

FWD - Calum Gallagher (Airdrieonians)

Airdrie may have been eliminated from the Viaplay Cup by Premiership Ross County, but they put in one helluva fight, coming back from 3-1 down to force extra-time before eventually succumbing to a 4-3 defeat. Gallagher netted twice and led the line tremendously.

FWD - Gavin Reilly (Queen of the South)

The forward netted one, played a big part in another and worked himself into the ground as Queens overcame an early set-back to defeat Annan Athletic 3-1 at Palmerston.
