With the Scottish Premiership split now on the horizon, Scottish supporters are beginning to assess their team’s performance so far this season following a enthralling last few weeks.
Celtic are champions elect, Rangers dismal form has enjoyed an upturn since the appointment of Barry Ferguson, while Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen and Dundee United are all locked in a tight battle for European football.
While the likes of Callum McGregor, Daizen Maeda and Vaclav Cerny have all proven crucial to their teams this term, a number of young talents have emerged as exciting prospects throughout the campaign - evidenced by 18-year-old pair Lennon Miller and James Wilson receiving maiden Scotland call-ups last week.
But which other youngsters have impressed during the 24/25 Scottish Premiership?
Here we look at the 11 players aged 21 or under that have shone the brightest so far, from 11 to 1 - according to popular statistic’s website FotMob’s player ratings.
