Team of the Week

Craig Fowler from A View from the Terrace names his cinch SPFL XI after the weekend's games...

GK - Zach Hemming (St Mirren)

St Mirren cruised to a deserved 2-0 win over Ross County this past weekend, though things could have been a bit nervy in the closing stages if not for Hemming, who produced a brilliant save to deny Alex Samuel's header.

DEF - Jordan Tapping (The Spartans)

The most recent team to be promoted to the cinch SPFL consolidated their place in the promotion play-off spots in cinch League Two with a tough 1-0 victory over Forfar Athletic. Tapping was man of the match for the hosts.

DEF - Chris Hamilton (Dunfermline Athletic)

Dunfermline are unbeaten in three following two successive victories in the cinch Championship after a 2-1 win at Airdrieonians. Hamilton anchored the back three superbly throughout the match.

DEF - Iain Wilson (Greenock Morton)

Another spot in the team for Iain Wilson, who has impressed with his versatility in this Greenock Morton side. Wilson did well at left back then moved into a defensive midfield position after Lewis Strapp returned to the side during the 2-1 win at Arbroath.

MID - Danny Armstrong (Kilmarnock)

Killie followed up their 1-0 win over Aberdeen by defeating league leaders Celtic 2-1 at Rugby Park with an excellent second-half fightback. The hosts dominated the second 45' with Armstrong a constant menace - he was involved in the build-up to the equaliser before playing in Matty Kennedy for the winner.

MID - David Wotherspoon (Inverness CT)

What a signing the St Johnstone legend has proven to be for Duncan Ferguson and his Inverness CT side. He was instrumental again, including scoring the third goal, as the visitors came from a goal down to win 4-1 at Queen's Park.

MID - Sam Stanton (Raith Rovers)

Rovers edged out Partick Thistle in a thrilling encounter on Friday night with the hosts going 2-0 up, surrendering their advantage and finding themselves in a 3-2, second-half hole, before ultimately pulling it out and winning 4-3 to keep the pressure on Dundee United at the top of the cinch Championship table. Stanton netted the winning goal in what was a tremendous performance.

MID - Nat Wedderburn (Stenhousemuir)

Stenny have opened up a five-point gap on closest challengers Peterhead at the top of the cinch League 2 table thanks to a 1-0 win away at Dumbarton. Wedderburn protected the defence superbly, used the ball well and put in great shift as Gary Naysmith's side kept up their winning run, which now stretches to six games.

MID - Brogan Walls (East Fife)

The Fifers got themselves a big result in the cinch League 2 relegation battle, thumping Elgin City 4-0 in Methil. Eighteen-year-old Walls got the scoring started and added another one during the rout. 

FWD - Lee Connelly (Queen of the South)

Perhaps the most eye-catching result came at Montrose where the hosts were defeated 4-1 by Queen of the South, who won their first league game since October 21st. Connelly was simply sensational for the away side, scoring twice and having a big hand in the others as Marvin Bartley's men completed a first-half blitz.

FWD - Rumarn Burrell (Cove Rangers)

The striker got his second hat-trick in the course of three games as Cove Rangers extended their winning run in all competitions to eight games, winning 3-1 at Annan Athletic despite having Josh Kerr sent off not long after the break. Burrell got the match ball and he also gets our Star Man award.
