Celtic trio Callum McGregor, Daizen Maeda and Nicolas Kuhn have been nominated for the PFA Scotland Premiership Player of the Year award.

They are shortlisted for the award, voted for by their fellow players, alongside Dundee striker Simon Murray.

Captain McGregor, who won the award in 2022, has continued to impress while leading the Hoops to their fourth successive title.

He has played in 31 of Celtic’s 34 league games so far this season, scoring eight goals.

Kuhn has made 29 league appearances for Celtic so far this season, scoring 12 goals with eight assists, with his best form arguably during the first half of their title-winning campaign.

Dundee’s Murray is level with Maeda as the duo chase the Premiership’s top scorer award, with the 33-year-old aiming to help the Dark Blues escape the relegation play-offs.

It has been a disappointing season for Rangers, but Hamza Igamane could pick up some silverware after an impressive debut season at Ibrox.

The 22-year-old striker, who joined on a five-year deal from Moroccan side AS Far Rabat, has netted 11 times in his 30 league appearances so far.

James Wilson has scored five league goals this season, including this equaliser against Hibs in the Edinburgh derby at Easter Road

He has netted four times in the Premiership since scoring on his league debut against St Mirren last October.

Lennon Miller has continued to impress in midfield for Motherwell following his nomination last season, despite missing six league games with a fractured ankle.
