Analysys: 12 best full-backs in the 18/19 Scottish Premiership


Recommended Posts

2. James Tavernier (Rangers)

The Rangers captain has always had doubts about his defensive capabilities, especially when he made the step up from the Scottish Championship to the top flight. Yet, he continues to improve in that area but what he provides going forward more than outweighs any weaknesses behind him.

Most assists, most crosses, third-most passes, most through balls, most key passes, second-most progressive runs, 12th for defensive duels and 12th for dribbles. He's a tour de force.

1. Kieran Tierney (Celtic)

It has probably been Tierney's most difficult season of his career, and he still played a big part in the treble treble for his boyhood team. Groin and hip issues robbed him of around 20 appearances but such a setback could stand him in good stead going forward, wherever that may be.

He is the best full-back in the league and the most talented player in the country. Celtic played better when he was in the team, driving forward and providing a threat from the left with Scott Sinclair still somewhat off the boil. When he is out of the team it gives the opposition a huge lift. Read into that what you will.
