Celtic star Reo Hatate tipped for POTY award as James Tavernier earns 'shout' over Rangers numbers

Mark Wilson has named TWO Celtic stars as Player of the Year candidates - but reckons James Tavernier could also be in with a shout.

Reo Hatate and Kyogo Furuhashi have both stood out in a Hoops side on a relentless charge towards the Premiership title and in with a big chance of landing a domestic treble. The latter is just one goal away from hitting the 30 landmark while his team-mate has been the star of the show in the midfield area for the Hoops by pulling the strings and showing both class and energy throughout the season.

But Rangers skipper Tavernier has also contributed big numbers this campaign in Govan and hit the 100-goal landmark for the Ibrox club. His assist tally is also impressive. He's scored 17 and provided eight to date for Michael Beale's side with the full-back labelling him a 'quality player'. Out of the two Celtic players, Wilson has given his backing to Hatate but recognises that Tav could pick up votes.
