Motherwell and Hearts have claimed nine of the eleven shirts in the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year.
Steelmen stopper Calum Ward, defender Paul McGinn, midfield pair Elliot Watt and Elijah Just, plus top striker Tawanda Maswanhise, who has hit 17 league goals, earned the respect of their fellow professionals.
League pacesetters Hearts provide centre-backs Craig Halkett and Harry Milne and the strike duo of Lawrence Shankland and Claudio Braga. The pair have fired 33 goals between them in all competitions this term.
Celtic midfielder Benjamin Nygren, the Swede with 19 goals in every match, and Rangers full-back Emmanuel Fernandez fill the remaining slots.
