Daizen Maeda has been crowned as the Scottish Premiership's most valuable player after his best season yet at Celtic.
The Japanese forward was named PFA Scotland Players' Player of the Year and made it a double with the Scottish Football Writers' Association award after a campaign in which he hit a whopping 33 goals.
Maeda began the season as a marauding winger who pressed high up the pitch and tracked back, with the end product of goals and assists too.
But he also helped the Hoops forget about Kyogo by filling his countryman's centre-forward berth after his move to Rennes.
Celts hope to tie the 27-year-old down to a new contract to fend off inevitable interest. Although he does have two years left on his current deal, meaning any offer would have to be a substantial one to persuade the club to part this summer.

Transfermarkt certainly seem to agree after the site delivered updates on the market values of players across the Premiership.
Maeda now sits top of the tree as they value him at €15million (£12.8m), up €4m from his previous ranking.
Celtic completely dominate the top five with Cameron Carter-Vickers, Reo Hatate, Arne Engels and Nicolas Kuhn following their teammate.
Nicolas Raskin is the first Rangers player to feature, coming in sixth place with a valuation of €10m (£8.5m).
Celtic's Alistair Johnston follows and Motherwell's Lennon Miller, Rangers' Mohamed Diomande and Celtic's Jota make up the top ten.
Along with Maeda, Miller is the league's biggest mover up the way with a boost of €4m.
Rangers striker Danilo has seen the Premiership's biggest downgrade with his value slipping by €2m.
