With the Scottish Premiership now well underway, we look at the best of the bunch. Celtic may be running away with the title as a whole, but which of the individual talents has shone the brightest in the last eight weeks?
Let’s take a look at the Scottish Premiership team of the season so far:
9. CB: Anthony O’Connor (Aberdeen)
There’s no doubting the improvement that Anthony O’Connor has already made to the Aberdeen back-line this season.
Aberdeen have already kept four clean sheets since the start of the season. Added to that, they’ve only shipped three goals in six games, with one being a penalty. O’Connor has come in and comprehensively steadied the defensive ship at Pittodrie.
Anthony’s one-on-one battles have mostly ended with him dominating strikers off the ball. He brings a composure to Aberdeen’s defence, but also has a no-nonsense approach to the game. Without him, the Dons may not have been considered as Celtic’s main rivals to the title.
