This Team of the Week recap looks back at Hugh Dunnit’s selections from early December, a week where attacking impact couldn’t be ignored. A shift to a 3-4-3 reflected the balance of performances — defenders who held firm, midfielders who drove games forward, and a front line that repeatedly turned momentum into goals. As ever, the final XI was shaped by moments that mattered, backed up by clear Squad of the Week nominations.
Season So Far — This Hugh Dunnit Team of the Week shows why Squad of the Week nominations matter, and how impact turns into selection.
Thanks to the clubs who sent detailed nominations — they make this sharper every week and give Hugh proper context beyond the scoreline. Keep them coming, with detail, so the moments that actually swing points don’t get missed.
Four seasons in and the Squad of the Week has grown arms, legs, and opinions.
That’s where Hugh Dunnit steps in.
He doesn’t do polite applause — he picks the lads who made things happen: effort, impact, and a touch of grit. No heatmaps. No faff. Just standards.
Hugh Dunnit — GCFA Team of the Week
This week he rips it up and goes 3-4-3 — too many forwards were unplayable to leave out.

🧤 Goalkeeper
Michael Smith – Queens Park SFC
Imperious at centre-half. Countless clearances and blocks. Gave his side the platform for everything else.
Jamie Docherty – Knightswood AFC
Debut at centre-back, won everything in the air, and chipped in with a goal. That’s how you kick a season off.
Tyler Fulton – Corinthians
Best performance since his injury. Won his battles, used the ball well, and looked in control from the back.
Scott Hodge – Rutherglen Glencairn AFC
The engine. Covered every bit of the park and kept the standard high from first whistle to last.
Billy Young – Third Lanark
Two goals and a MOTM display from midfield. Drove the game and KPU couldn’t get to grips with him.
Kian Donaghy – Queens Park SFC
Wide man in form. Another brace, six for the season now. Constant threat every time he picked it up.
Jack Pellow – Toryglen Thistle
Gave the left-back a torrid time down the right and finished it off with a sharp strike in off the post.
Rocco McGillivary – Toryglen Thistle
Five goals in one half. Automatic pick. When he moved up top the whole game swung.
Ross Macdougall – Knightswood AFC
Another hat-trick from the captain and ran himself into the ground. Led from the front in every sense.
Kai McDougall – Clydebank Red Star
A defender’s nightmare — strength, pace, low centre of gravity. Two goals and an assist to back it up.

🔁 Bench
• Kyle MacDonald – Westhill United
Hattrick and back to his best — only edged out by a front three that were ruthless.
• Greg Forrest – Clydebank Red Star
Ran it again in midfield; unlucky to miss out with so many goals flying in elsewhere.
Jamie Macleod – Rutherglen Glencairn AFC
Jmac was excellent up top scoring 2 and getting an assist, Motm performance from the magician.
TEAM MANAGER ⬇️
Scott Pollock led Clydebank Red Star to a massive win over top of the league Nethercraigs. Pollock seems to be a man who can inspire his team to big performances.
“You can keep your fancy stats — these lads made things happen. Goals, graft, and guts. The rest will just have to chew on it.”
Thanks to the clubs who sent detailed nominations — they make this sharper every week and build on Hugh’s touchline viewings. Keep them coming, with context, so we can spotlight the shifts that swung points.
