Team of the Week

Craig Fowler from A View from the Terrace names his William Hill SPFL XI

GK – Jack Walton (Dundee United)

Though we wanted to go for Kevin Holt for his injury-time winner and man-of-the-match performance in United's 1-0 victory over Aberdeen, options were short on goalkeeper for this week and the best option was his team-mate. Walton, to be fair, did make an outstanding first-half save from Ester Sokler to keep the match at 0-0.

DEF – Lewis Miller (Hibs)

Excellent at both ends of the park, Miller demonstrated his worth coming back into the Hibs starting XI for their 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock on Sunday in the William Hill Premiership.

DEF – Dan O’Reilly (Partick Thistle)

Thistle got themselves a 2-1 victory over Queen's Park with Brian Graham scoring a double, but we've gone for O'Reilly for a robust defensive performance as Thistle extended their lead over opponents Queen's Park to seven points in the final play-off spot in the second tier.

DEF – Kyle Girvan (Elgin City)

Elgin are back at the top of William Hill League Two after defeating previous table-toppers Peterhead 2-0 at Borough Briggs. Girvan was a key part of an impressive defensive showing from the hosts.

DEF – Liam Dick (Raith Rovers)

Used at both left centre-back and left-back, Dick put in a brilliant display as Raith Rovers won their third William Hill Championship game in succession with a 2-1 victory over Livingston at Stark's Park.

MID – Fraser Taylor (Arbroath)

Arbroath remain top of William Hill League One by four points and got themselves bragging rights in the big Angus derby with a 3-0 win over rivals Montrose. Taylor netted the third goal, set up the second and generally impressed in another tremendous performance in a season full of them.

MID – Arne Engels (Celtic)

The Belgian put in one of his best performances in Celtic shirt to date, including a terrific cross for Kyogo Furuhashi to score one of his two goals, as the champions swept aside St Johnstone at Celtic Park.

MID – Declan Glass (Cove Rangers)

This week's Star Man comes from the match in the Highland capital as Cove put Caley Thistle's gas at a low peep with a brilliant 4-1 away win. Glass opened the scoring and got two assists as Cove moved three points clear of Alloa Athletic in the final play-off spot in League One.

MID – Tawanda Maswanhise (Motherwell)

His side may have lost a two-goal lead to Rangers, but the young Zimbabwean was a constant thorn in the side of the visitors: running himself ragged, causing problems with his pace and scoring an excellently-taken goal in the 2-2 draw at Fir Park.

FW – Simon Murray (Dundee)

Dundee quickly returned to winning ways following their humbling against Ross County as they defeated St Mirren 2-1 on Sunday. Murray got both goals and was the best player on the park as his typical doggedness made life very hard for the hosts.

FW – Kalvin Orsi (Dumbarton)

Another double-scorer and man-of-the-match performer, Orsi was the difference between the sides as Dumbarton took full advantage of an early Kelty Hearts red card to win three valuable points with a 2-0 home triumph.
