Goalkeeper - Jamie Langfield (Aberdeen):
It might seem perverse to hand this accolade to somebody whose team was trounced 3-1 by Celtic, but Langfield worked tirelessly to prevent the match degenerating into a rout, especially during an opening 45 minutes when Celtic might have led 6-0 or 7-0. Langfield won't look back on this tussle fondly, but at least he helped keep his side from being completely embarrassed.

Defender - Andreas Hinkel (Celtic):
The word on the grapevine is that this talented German player will not be overstaying his welcome in the SPL, en route to the English Premiership, with several clubs bidding for his services. On this performance, that confirmation would be a blow for Parkhead supporters, because Hinkel was exciting going forward and a dumper truck, when required to be, at the back.
