Hoops not good enough for PFA Scotland team
Time to show just how good they are when they meet those that did make the team Neil Lennon is looking for his players to respond positively to being snubbed by their fellow professionals when they take on Rangers in the final Old Firm derby of the season at Parkhead. Not one player from Parkhead made the PFA Scotland team of the year which was announced at last night's awards dinner in Glasgow. The team - voted for by PFA Scotland members - included eight Ibrox players and Andy Webster, on loan to Dundee United from Rangers. In addition, Light Blues midfielder Steve Davis was voted player of the year, while the young player of the year was his Ibrox team mate Danny Wilson. Asked if his players could feel aggrieved by their omission, Celtic's interim boss said: "I hope so. We had a full table there last night, we were well represented by the players and I give them credit for that. I was surprised that there wasn't at least one of our players in the team of year. I was very surprised by that. So hopefully that will be an extra motivation if they need that tomorrow. I don't think there is much difference in quality between the two squads. It's hard to put my finger on why the gap is so big this season but I do think we have quality in the squad and some real top-class players." Scott Brown agreed with Lennon's assessment and put forward the name of midfielder Aiden McGeady as one who deserved to be included in the team of the year. The Celtic skipper said: "Aiden has done quite well this season. He has torn up some defenders and scored some great goals and been a good team player as well."
