Team of the Week

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

GK – Nick Suman (Cove Rangers)

Cove Rangers made it to the final of the William Hill Championship play-offs on Saturday thanks to a 2-1 second-leg victory over Queen of the South. The hosts went into a 2-0 lead but had to hang on in the end and were grateful to Suman for pulling off a terrific save from Jordan Allan. He also almost scored with a goal kick right at the very end of the match.

DEF – Marcus Fraser (St. Mirren)

St. Mirren are suddenly in with a real shout of European football next season after Saturday's 2-0 win at Tannadice took them to within two points of the Terrors in fifth place. There wasn't a poor performer in black and white, but we've opted for Fraser for a stellar defensive showing.

DEF – Daniels Balodis (St. Johnstone)

Saints have given themselves a chance of survival in the William Hill Premiership after defeating Ross County 2-1 at McDiarmid Park. Balodis put in a strong shift at the back and netted his side's opening goal.

DEF – Robbie Deas (Kilmarnock)

Another scorer and impressive centre-half performer, Deas netted Kilmarnock's third goal (which would ultimately prove to be the winner) as the hosts defeated Dundee 3-2 at Rugby Park to ensure another season of survival in the top-flight.

MID – Luca Ross (Annan Athletic)

Annan may have lost their second-leg clash to Elgin City, going down 2-1 at home, but they were able to make it to the final of the William Hill League One play-off thanks to a 4-2 away victory in the first leg. Even though they were defeated at the Galabank on Saturday, young loanee Ross impressed on the right flank.

MID – Kieran Millar (East Fife)

The Fifers made it to the final of the League 1 play-off to take on Annan Athletic after dispatching Edinburgh City with a 3-0 victory in their second-leg encounter. Millar was named man-of-the-match for a tireless display in the engine room.

MID – Nico Raskin (Rangers)

After a so-so first half, Rangers put the pedal to the metal in their second 45 minutes against Aberdeen, ultimately winning 4-0. Raskin got a pair of assists to get his side rolling in the second period as he continued his excellent recent form.

MID – Reo Hatate (Celtic)

Celtic came from behind to claim all three points at home to Hibs this past weekend as the champions eventually ran out 3-1 winners. Hatate was instrumental in turning things around as his incessant probing and perfectly-weighted through balls continuously caught out the visitors at Celtic Park.

MID – Lewis Strapp (Airdrieonians)

Airdrie were able to comfortably see out their second-leg match with Stenhousemuir as they made it to the Championship play-off final following Saturday's 2-1 win. Strapp was named Man of the Match for his adventurous work down the left.

FWD – Lawrence Shankland (Heart of Midlothian)

Another week, another two goals for the Hearts No.9 who is finding his form again after a difficult 2024/25 campaign by his usual standards. Shankland's double helped put Motherwell to the sword as the hosts ran out 3-0 victors at Tynecastle.

FWD – Brian Graham (Partick Thistle)

This week's Star Man comes from the Friday night match between Ayr United and Partick Thistle in the Premiership play-off quarter-final. A double from the player-manager, including his 100th for the club, helped overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit away from home, including a late winner which will see the Jags take on Livingston for a place in the final.
