Rangers history makers miss out on SPFL team of the year along with Kevin Nisbet as two Celtic stars make cut

The SPFL have named their team of the season for 2020/21, with six players from champions Rangers dominating the line-up.

But there was still no place for Croatian star Borna Barisic as Hibs starlet Josh Doig took the left back berth.

It was a season of contrasting fortunes for Rangers and Celtic as Steven Gerrard's team stormed to their first title in a decade, while Celtic faltered in their pursuit of Ten in a Row.

That's reflected in the team of the season stakes as only chief creator David Turnbull and top scorer Odsonne Edouard make the grade from the hapless Hoops.

More than half the lineup is made up of Rangers stars, meanwhile, with Alfredo Morelos leading the line alongside Edouard - though the absence of Scotland cap Kevin Nisbet has raised a few eyebrows.

Steven Davis joins Turnbull in central midfield while Ryan Kent and Hibs' Martin Boyle are the wingers who make the cut.

Jason Kerr has been recognised for his stellar season for St Johnstone and he is the only player outside of the Premiership's top three who makes the XI.

Ibrox trio Allan McGregor, Connor Goldson and James Tavernier - who helped Rangers concede just 13 goals on their way to the league title - complete the team.
