I'm going to raise eyebrows but Rangers star duo both miss out on being named my player of the year – Kenny Miller

It's that time of the season again. We still don’t know who will win the league title or the Scottish Cup.

But players and football writers have to make a call on who the Player and Manager of the Year is going to be. It’s tough when there’s still big prizes up for grabs. But votes have to be cast in the next few weeks – and you can only go on what you’ve seen to this point. That’s why I’ve made my choices – and they might raise a few eyebrows.

Rangers have two outstanding candidates for Player of the Year, in my opinion. Jack Butland in goal has been nothing short of phenomenal. And he’s joined by James Tavernier who continues to defy logic with his numbers. Butland’s been a sensational signing for the club. Not just for his performances on the pitch but also for his leadership skills and personality off it.

I genuinely believe that if Butland wins a Double or Treble at Rangers in his first year, he’ll have had a similar impact to Kyogo Furuhashi at rivals Celtic. Now I know Butland can’t score the goals Kyogo can. But I honestly feel his influence and presence since he arrived at Ibrox – as well as the saves he has made – puts him on a par with Kyogo two years ago.

So Butland has to be on my shortlist and he’s joined by my old team-mate Tav. From right-back, the captain has already scored 21 goals this term. Incredibly, it’s not outside the realms of possibility that he could hit a tally of 30 before the season’s out. So he MUST be in contention when the top awards are being handed out in May. His consistency levels, yet again, have been fantastic for Rangers especially since Philippe Clement came in.

So those two will take a bit of beating. On the other side of the city, Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley has to get a
