HIBERNIAN pair Jason Cummings and John McGinn have been nominated for the PFA Scotland Championship player of the year award.
The duo helped the Easter Road outfit secure a return to the top-flight this season as Neil Lennon's side wrapped up the title with three games to spare.
Cummings is the league's joint-top scorer with 17 goals and is joined by teammate and Scotland international midfielder McGinn on the four-man shortlist.
Queen of the South's Stephen Dobbie, who tops the scoring charts alongside Cummings, has also been shortlisted as well as Morton's Ross Forbes.
In League One, Livingston strikers Danny Mullen and Liam Buchanan, Alloa's Jordan Kilpatrick and Airdrieonians forward Andy Ryan have been nominated for player of the season.
Finally, in League Two Arbroath striker Bobby Linn, Forfar's Thomas O'Brien and Elgin duo Thomas Reilly and Shane Sutherland have made the shortlist.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
