Rangers duo Jack Butland and James Tavernier are among the nominees for the PFA Scotland Scottish Premiership Player of the Year award, alongside Celtic’s Matt O’Riley and Lawrence Shankland of Hearts.
Butland has started every Scottish Premiership game since joining from Crystal Palace last summer and has kept a clean sheet in 18 of his 34 league games. The 31-year-old’s form has seen him tipped for an England recall.
Tavernier has also started every top-flight match this season and is Rangers’ top scorer with 17 league goals and nine assists. The right-back is hoping to help Rangers retain their Scottish Premiership title.
O’Riley is the only nominee from Celtic after impressing in a season where the club rejected an offer from Atletico Madrid. The 23-year-old has 13 goals and 11 assists from 33 league appearances.
Shankland is the Premiership’s current top scorer with 21 goals so far. The Hearts striker is hoping to earn a place in Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad for Euro 2024.
The PFA Scotland Player of the Year award winner will be announced at a ceremony on May 14th.
