SCOTTISH footie fans are calling for justice after they believe a player was ROBBED of his spot in a team of the season.
PFA Scotland revealed their SPFL League One Team of the Year this evening, which is voted for by players themselves.

From back to front, the winning XI is: Nicky Hogarth, Finn Yeats, Coll Donaldson, Tom Lang, Leon McCann, Brad Spencer, Liam Henderson, Aidan Nesbitt, Callumn Morrison, Calvin Miller and Rumarn Burrell.
Notice anything specific about that list?
Well, the first ten players all come from ONE team – league champions Falkirk.
It of course means one unlucky star missed out on receiving the same recognition as his team mates.

That man is striker Ross MacIver, who was overlooked in favour of Rumarn Burrell.
What’s even more remarkable is that Burrell was on the books at Falkirk just last season.
The Bairns are still unbeaten in the league as things stand and were crowned kings of the third tier on March 30.
With that comes promotion to the Championship, not to mention the adulation from their fans.
But many supporters reckon MacIver has been overlooked by his peers.
The striker bagged 14 goals in 32 games for the Bairns, good for third-most in the division.
But it seems Burrell’s 20 for Cove Rangers and the 22 strikes from team mate Morrison have outdone MacIver.
Fans on social media vented their frustration and many people MacIver was hard done by.
One wrote on Twitter (X): “Imagine being the one Falkirk player not to make it.”
A second said: “Gutted for MacIver!”
While another fan asked if such domination had ever occurred: “Has this ever happened before in any PFA league team of the year?
“Unbelievable and well deserved, but poor Ross MacIver.
“Hopefully he will have a point to prove in the last three games.”
Others demanded a change to the team.
“This is class but justice for MacIver!” said one Falkirk supporter.
Another Bairns fan said :”Massive FC. Justice for Ross MacIver..”
And another comment read: “MacIver robbed. 10 out of 11 – not bad though.”

Falkirk’s CEO even got involved in the debate.
He said: “Amazing to see the players get the recognition they so rightly deserve from their peers. A special mention to Ross who has also been tremendous and can count himself very unlucky to miss out.”
