This Scottish Premiership season has been the most enthralling in a generation, with the top and bottom of the table continuing to offer up twists and turns aplenty.
Hearts have been the story of the season, with a first title win in 65 years now in touching distance, with both Celtic and Rangers lying in their wake. Motherwell have also been revitalised under Jens Berthel Askou, and picked up some huge results on the way to a long-overdue top four finish.
Last week’s PFA Scotland awards saw Hearts’ Claudio Braga named as the player of the year, with Rangers’ Mikey Moore scooping the young player of the year award. But who have been the Scottish Premiership’s most creative talents in this breathtaking campaign?
Assessing each player on their total chance creation throughout the season, alongside average chances created per game and big chances created (measured by the number of times a player sets up a teammate with a high-probability scoring opportunity—eg, a one-on-one scenario), from 10-1, the Scotsman look at which players have been the league’s most creative players:
9. James Tavernier - Rangers
The Rangers captain has his detractors, but his numbers once again squash many of his competitors. Tavernier has the league's highest chance creation per game average at 2.7, and has created more big chances than any other player in the league at 18. His total of 67 chances created is only beaten by one player. | SNS Group
10. Will Ferry - Dundee United
Nobody has created more chances in the Scottish Premiership than the Dundee United wing-back this season, with a total of 70. He's averages 2.3 chances created per game, with 17.1 per cent classified as big chances. | SNS Group
