Struggled with injury therefore found it difficult to get into the team in the first half of the season. Roared back and was Hibs' best defender after the winter break. Scored a big goal at Ibrox in December.
Motherwell's best centre-back during the season. Commanding in the air, solid on the ground. Will be missed at Fir Park after his loan ended.
A key competent of Livi's early success. Showed his versatility playing right-back without dropping his standards. Astute at breaking from defence with the ball.
Another fine young Scottish centre-back. Well rounded in his ability with the ball at his feet but doesn't negate defensive responsibilities. Third-highest defensive duel success rate.
The most consistent Rangers centre-back. Started the season excellently before regressing slightly and levelling off. Very comfortable with what's expected of him. Key in the club's defensive improvement.
