The PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year for the 2025-26 season has been unveiled, and the selections tell a compelling story of the campaign's standout performers. The XI, voted for by the players themselves, is overwhelmingly dominated by two clubs: Motherwell and Hearts.

Motherwell, who finished a strong fourth, lead the way with a remarkable five inclusions. Their representation spans the pitch, featuring goalkeeper Calum Ward, defender Paul McGinn, midfielders Elliot Watt and Elijah Just, and the league's top scorer, Tawanda Maswanhise, who found the net 17 times.

They are closely followed by table-topping Hearts, who contribute four players to the elite lineup. Their defensive solidity is recognized with selections for Craig Halkett and Harry Milne, while their formidable attack is represented by the prolific duo of Lawrence Shankland and Claudio Braga, who have combined for a staggering 33 goals across all competitions this season.

The final two spots in the team go to stars from the traditional Glasgow powers. Celtic's midfield dynamo Benjamin Nygren earns his place after a sensational season with 19 goals in all competitions, while Rangers' defensive rock Emmanuel Fernandez completes the backline.

The announcement of this team sets the stage for the upcoming individual PFA Scotland awards, with nominees to be revealed later this month and winners crowned on May 3rd. This team of the year is a testament to the exceptional talent and consistency displayed by these players throughout a thrilling Scottish Premiership season.
