SPL: ALAN HUTTON (Rangers)
Honourable mentions: Christian Kalvenes (Dundee United), David Van Zanten (St. Mirren)
I don't think any of the sides in the top six other than Dundee Utd had a settled right-back this season. Regardless, Hutton did play more than half of Rangers' league games this season before his move to Spurs, so I think he qualifies, okay? Certainly, it's difficult to argue with the quality he has showed in the past twelve months, displaying the athleticism, ball skills and defensive nous required of one of Europe's top full-backs.
EPL: BAKARI SAGNA (Arsenal)
Honourable mentions: Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), Olof Mellberg (Aston Villa)
In his first season in England, Sagna settled in remarkably well and has been a constant in Arsene Wenger's defence. His crossing still leaves a lot to be desired; however his raids on the overlap have given Arsenal a remarkable amount of width this season, considering their lack of an out-and-out winger. Next year, I expect him to be even better.
