There's two big Celtic candidates for the prize - but James Tavernier is being tipped as the Rangers outsider who could crash the party.
Reo Hatate and Kyogo Furuhashi have been standouts for Ange Postecoglou's de facto champions and the latter will likely crash through 30 goals in all competitions this term. Hatate meanwhile has pulled the strings in midfield but Tavernier has enjoyed some personal landmarks himself.
The Ibrox skipper again has been a regular contributor in front of goal, scoring 15 league goals and crashing through 100 strikes in blue. For former Celtic defender Mark Wilson, he tells Superscoreboard that Hatate would get the nod for him in terms of the Parkhead duo, but Tavernier deserves a mention: "I would give it to Hatate. I think Hatate has been extraordinary and I am not saying Kyogo hasn't. He has got the goals and often that gets recognised more but for his all-round game and what he brings to the team. That real drive.
