Player of the Week Nominations – SAT – 22nd Aug 2026

Nine outstanding nominees. Goals, assists, match-winners and defensive brilliance — Colleges Saturday Morning football is already delivering some serious quality this season.

Another weekend of action has thrown up some outstanding individual performances, and there is no shortage of contenders for this week’s Player of the Week award.

From match-winning goals and hat-tricks to huge defensive displays and goalkeeping heroics, we’ve picked 9 nominees — with no more than one player representing each club.

The Nominees ⬇️

 Greame McCallum (Clydebank SMFC — Striker) McCallum was unstoppable up front, delivering a sensational 4-goal performance to keep his red-hot scoring streak alive and carry the attack for the Bankies.

 Taylor Lamont (Gladstone Athletic — Striker) Lamont put on a complete attacking display. Scoring a hat-trick while also turning provider with a hat-trick of assists, he was virtually unplayable from start to finish.

Jack McCulloch – (Greater Croftpark Rose – (STR)
McCulloch was excellent all game long, the speedy striker chased every lost cause and scored 2 very well taken goals to win his side the match.

Sean Cullen (Muirend AFC — Midfielder)
Talk about a game-changer. Cullen came to life after the break, bagging a superb second-half hat-trick—including a high-pressure penalty—to complete a thrilling 3-2 comeback.

 Scott Maitland (Oban Saints — Defender)
The former Scottish amateur international put in his trademark classy display at the heart of the defence, maintaining total composure and leadership to keep a clean sheet for Oban.

 Reece Harkins (Cathcart AFC — Midfielder)
Harkins carried his midweek form straight into the weekend. The midfield maestro drove the team forward all day, controlling the tempo and chipping in with 2 crucial goals.

We’re still in the opening weeks of the new season, but the standard of these Player of the Week nominations tells its own story.

Four-goal hauls, hat-tricks, assists, match-winning contributions and defenders making their mark at both ends of the pitch — and that is before you consider some of the performances that haven’t made this week’s final nine.

There is quality right across Colleges Saturday Morning football.

Different clubs. Different divisions. Different types of players making an impact.

If these opening weeks are anything to go by, picking our Player of the Week isn’t going to get any easier.

And that is exactly how it should be.
