SNS GroupTitle winners Celtic dominate the nominations for the PFA end of season awards, with three players on the Premiership Player of the Year list and one in the running for the young player award.
The shortlists for the awards, which are voted for by the players themselves, have been announced ahead of the prize ceremony later this month.
Top scorer Daizen Maeda, winger Nicolas Kuhn and Callum McGregor have all been recognised by their peers for their contribution to what has been a cruise to a fourth league triumph in four years.
Dundee striker Simon Murray is also in contention for the award after equalling Maeda’s 16 league goals in a season that has seen the 33-year-old touted for an international call-up.
The four-man list for the young player award features Celtic midfielder Arne Engels, who has impressed in his debut season in Scotland after making a big-money move from Augsburg.
Engels faces stiff competition from Motherwell start Lennon Miller, who is tipped for bigger things after another string of eye-catching performances.
James Wilson is in contention after a breakthrough season at Hearts that has seen him become a regular fixture in attack and earn a first Scotland call-up.
And the young player list is completed by Rangers forward Hamza Igamane, who has flourished since being eased into the first team picture at Ibrox.
Hibernian’s Eilidh Adams, Celtic defender Emma Lawton, Rangers forward Katie Wilkinson and Glasgow City’s Samantha van Diemen are nominated for SWPL Player of the Year, while Adams also gets a nomination for the young player award along with Erin Husband of Hearts, Hannah Jordan from Spartans and Rangers player Laura Berry.
