League leaders Celtic dominate the PFA Scotland Team of the Year with six players.

Callum McGregor, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josip Juranovic, Tom Rogic, Jota and Kyogo Furuhashi are all included in the eleven.

Rangers duo James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos have been selected, along with Hearts pair Craig Gordon and John Souttar.

The leagues top scorer, Regan Charles-Cook of Ross County, completes the line-up.

Celtic are six points clear at the top of the table with four games left to play.

Cameron Carter-Vickers and Josip Juranovic have been key to a defence that has conceded the fewest goals and kept the most clean sheets in the division.

Callum McGregor has impressed in his first year as captain of the club, whilst Tom Rogic has been chosen for the first ever time.

Winger Jota has eight goals and nine assists in the league and has twice won the Player of the Month award, whilst Kyogo Furuhashi has nine league goals and scored both in the Hoops League Cup Final victory over Hibernian.

Rangers captain James Tavernier is the top assist provider with 12 and receives his fifth selection.

Alfredo Morelos has 12 goals and is included for the third time.

Both players have also been pivotal in the Gers run to the Europa League semi-final.

39-year-old Jambos skipper Craig Gordon has made a string of stunning saves throughout the campaign, whilst John Souttar has been key to a solid defence that has guided the team to third place and the Scottish Cup Final.

The league's top scorer, Regan Charles-Cook of Ross County, completes the team.

He has 13 goals and has been key to the Staggies top half finish.

The players are selected by fellow professionals from the top flight.

The nominees for the Player and Young Player of the Year will be announced tomorrow.
