It's that time of the season: the country's professional players and then our football writers are about to pronounce on who they think should comprise the best side in Scotland for 2013-14.
Ever felt frustrated that your opinion isn't heard? Well, now's your chance. With the help of regular HeraldScotland forum posters, we've compiled a shortlist of four players for each of the 11 positions, and the manager, and now invite you to make your choice.
Once you've made your decisions, you can share your selection via FaceBook and Twitter and see what your fellow fans think.
We'll then aggregate the responses and announce soon who our readers believe make up the Scottish football team of the year.
Before anyone says it, we'll be upfront and admit: yes, there are some Rangers candidates on the shortlist. Let's not be disingenuous…we all know they're not in the top league, but the club has a huge fanbase who shouldn't be disenfranchised in this poll.
If you don't agree with their inclusion on our list, don't vote for them. And remember, football's about fun and opinions!
Thanks to HeraldScotland posters Robert Wilson, John Graham and Michael Price for their help in drawing up the shortlist. The final decision on who to include was down to our digital team.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
