Motherwell and Hearts dominate the PFA Scotland Premiership Team of the Year for 2025-26, with four of Hearts' players and five from Motherwell making the XI. The list features Tawanda Maswanhise, the league's top scorer with 17 goals, alongside Benjamin Nygren (19 goals in all competitions) and Emmanuel Fernandez.

Key contributors include Calum Ward (goalkeeper) and Paul McGinn (defender) from Motherwell, paired with Craig Halkett and Harry Milne (defenders) from Hearts. Midfielders Elliot Watt and Elijah Just round out the Motherwell contingent. Lawrence Shankland and Claudio Braga (combined 33 goals) represent Hearts' attacking strength.

The selections reflect strong defensive performances from both clubs, with Nygren and Maswanhise standing out as the season's most prolific scorers. Fernandez's inclusion highlights Rangers' defensive resilience despite finishing fourth.

Individual nominees will be revealed later this month, with the final winners announced on 3 May. The team's composition underscores Motherwell's consistency and Hearts' attacking firepower, shaping narratives around mid-table battles and title contenders heading into the season's final stretch.
