Time for footballers to pass judgement on each other once again as the nominees for the SPFA Player of the Year Awards are announced.
There’s quite a blue tint to the SPL shortlist with the players going for Ibrox trio Kris Boyd, David Weir (he can sit it next to his World’s Best Grandad mug) and Steven Davis. Dundee United’s Loan Ranger makes up the quartet.
So four players owned by the same club nominated. If you know if this has ever happened before let me know.
Dundee’s Leigh Griffith makes both the First Division list and the Young Player quartet where he’s joined by Anthony Stokes, Danny Wilson and David Goodwillie.
Webster, incidentally, would become the first player outside of the Old Firm to win since Jim Bett way back in 1989/90.
The shortlists are:

ReplyDeleteleft more comments than expected didnae no why that happened, I'm not that keen tae take the mick out of my team.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Think it was a problem with the site because I only published one but two came through.
ReplyDeleteYou've still got Ayr and Raith to play though? Not over yet.
We can only hope Ayr loose remaining games but truth be told we don't deserve to stay up, only one 6 out of 31 games.
