It is a hat-trick of Championship Player of the Year nominations for prolific Queen of the South hitman Stephen Dobbie – will it be third time lucky? He is joined on this year’s list by three fellow frontmen in the form of Ayr United’s Lawrence Shankland – last season’s League 1 Player of the Year – Dundee United’s Pavol Sanfranko and Ross County hitman Billy McKay.
In League 1, Raith Rovers top striker Kevin Nisbet finds himself nominated along with title winning Arbroath talisman Bobby Linn, Forfar’s Dale Hilson and Dumbarton’s Dom Thomas, who has impressed for the Sons during his loan spell from Kilmarnock.
Edinburgh City striker Blair Henderson – the favourite to lift this seasons’ Tartan Boot Award for his 30 league goals so far (38 overall for the season) – is in line for the League 2 Award along with Clyde duo David Goodwillie and John Rankin as well as Annan’s Chris Johnston.
The overall winners will be announced on Sunday 5th May at PFA Scotland’s annual Awards Dinner at the Hilton Hotel, Glasgow.
