Team of the Week - Week 4

CRAIG FOWLER FROM A VIEW FROM THE TERRACE NAMES HIS TEAM OF THE WEEK, WITH CELTIC MIDFIELDER DAVID TURNBULL THE STAR MAN...

GK - Greg Fleming (Annan Athletic)
Annan continued their strong start to the cinch League 2 season with a 1-0 victory at Albion Rovers to stay within a point of Kelty Hearts at the top. Fleming was a commanding and vocal presence and showed the required composure when called upon.

DEF - Craig Halkett (Heart of Midlothian)
Hearts lost their 100% record in the cinch Premiership at the weekend as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Aberdeen at Tynecastle. Though he was ultimately unable to stop the visitors from equalising, Halkett impressed at the heart of the back-line throughout.

DEF - Ryan Porteous (Hibernian)
Hibs may have conceded two goals away to Dundee at the weekend, but Porteous was solid at the back and played a significant part in both of his side's goals in the 2-2 draw, including scoring one of them.

DEF - Adam Corbett (Stenhousemuir)
The Warriors were held to a disappointing home draw against an undermanned Cowdenbeath but Corbett impressed for the home side, not least when he beat three players on the wing and crossed for Darren Christie to put the hosts in front.

MID - Paul McMullan (Dundee)
The winger kept up his strong start to life in the Premiership by terrorising the defence all day in Dundee's 2-2 draw with Hibs at Den's Park; a point secured after McMullan crossed for Paul McGowan to net a late equaliser.

MID - Rhys McCabe (Airdrieonians)
McCabe netted twice as Airdrieonians got over major squad problems to earn all three points from their trip to Peterhead on Saturday in cinch League 1. The hosts were ultimately flattered by the 3-2 scoreline, netting twice near the end of their meeting with Ian Murray's side.

MID - Liam Grimshaw (Motherwell)
Grimshaw was Motherwell's star man and netted the winning goal as Graham Alexander's side got their first victory of the new campaign in the league with a 2-1 victory at Livingston.

MID - Jay Emmanuel-Thomas (Aberdeen)
The towering striker played the final 60 minutes of Aberdeen's 1-1 draw at Tynecastle and though he didn't score, it was his introduction which made a significant impact on the game in the second half as Hearts' defenders could do nothing to get the ball from him.

MID - Joe Aribo (Rangers)
Though the Staggies made it a tough contest, Rangers were back looking something closer to themselves in the cinch Premiership on Sunday, defeating Ross County 4-2 in Dingwall. Aribo got them off to a quick start and his link-play between midfield and attack was a key reason in Rangers' success.

MID - David Turnbull (Celtic)
This week's star man. Turnbull helped himself to a hat-trick as Celtic continued their rip-roaring recent form by sticking six goals past St Mirren in a 6-0 thumping at Celtic Park. This will be a huge confidence boost just a few days days before he was called up for Scotland's World Cup qualifiers.

FWD - Scott Robinson (Kilmarnock)
Robinson celebrated his first league start since mid-February with both goals as Kilmarnock defeated Hamilton Accies 2-0 at New Douglas Park to extend their winning start to the cinch Championship season.
