Celtic dominate the PFA Scottish Premiership Team of the Year, with six players included in the 2021-22 edition.

With Ange Postecoglou's men currently sitting six points clear at the summit and still on course for a domestic double, the Hoops' success has been recognised, with Cameron Carter-Vickers, Josip Juranovic, Callum McGregor, Tom Rogic, Jota and Kyogo Furuhashi all selected, following a vote by their fellow professional players.

As for Celtic's Glaswegian rivals Rangers, they have two players named in the XI in the form of captain James Tavernier and Alfredo Morelos, while Hearts duo Craig Gordon and John Souttar as well as Ross County's Regan Charles-Cook, complete the team.

Celtic defenders Carter-Vickers and Juranovic have been important players in the backline for Postecoglou's side this campaign, the former of whom has helped the Hoops keep 15 clean sheets in 28 league appearances.

Attackers Furuhashi and Jota, meanwhile, have enjoyed plenty of success in front of goal during their first season in Scotland, contributing to 25 Premiership goals combined.

As for McGregor and Rogic, they have been standout performers in centre-midfield this term, and their form has been recognised as the pair have also been nominated for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award.
