Rangers and Celtic will meet one more time before the Scottish Premiership draws to a close.
Barry Ferguson has stated that Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos would be his Player of the Year as he also selected Celtic duo Callum McGregor and James Forrest in his shortlist.
All three players have produced outstanding performances in the Scottish Premiership this season, with the trio having huge impacts in the final third.
Speaking to PLZ Soccer’s official YouTube account (22/04/2019), Ferguson spoke about his respective nominees and what they bring to the table.
“I know he has had his problems this season with his sending offs and his bookings, “ Ferguson told PLZ Soccer. “But for me, I think he will win it.
“Callum McGregor. He’s an outstanding midfielder. He can play the holding role, he can play number 10 or he can play on the left side. He can even fill in at left-back. So, for me, it’s between them two.
“James Forrest, who I rate very highly. He’s coming onto an outstanding bit of form just now. Great goal against Aberdeen.”
There is no doubt that Morelos has been the one that has caught the eye the most because of what he has done with the ball and without the ball.
Over the course of the season, he has played 27 Premiership games for his side, scoring 17 goals and supplying his teammates with eight assists [transfermarkt].
But, unfortunately for him, he’s also been spending a lot of time on the sidelines because of the number of times he has been given his marching orders by the referee.
As for Celtic’s McGregor and Forrest. Both of them have also had brilliant campaigns and they will be hoping to end it by securing the treble-treble for their side.
