Scottish PFA player of the year nominations

Leigh Griffiths
Michael Higdon
Niall McGinn
Andrew Shinnie

Wanyama up for young player of the year.

I would like to hear suggestions of which Celtic players should maybe have got a mention.

Anyone suggesting Kelvin Wilson will deserve a slap, that includes Lenny if he tries to suggest it.

Thought Mathews should have got a mention in the young player category, he's had an outstanding season

Brown before his injury was excellent, our most consistent player, and in a team that's won the league with 5 games to spare that should merit a mention.

Kris Commons has 10 goals and 9 assists and has been one of the form player in the SPL over the last 6 weeks. He has 3 in the Scottish cup and 3 in the league cup this season aswell. 16 goals is a great return.

How commons has'nt been included is beyond me the goals he's scored from midfield should merit bein in with a shout shinnie has been good but he's hardly been as good as commons and its not bein biased because he's a celtic player its just fact he's been instrumental in us winnin the league but a did comment on a post a few weeks ago that a think big higdon deserves the award

GunnieBhoy

It's laughable no Celtic player got a mention but also what bout Jonny Russel or Gary Mackay Steven they've had good seasons

Wilson has hardly missed a game this season and was excellent in Europe not brilliant every game but has been better than Brown who's missed a lot of games. DH

Wouldn't even bother getting worked up over that mate. Joke shortlist, anything that has higdon mentioned isn't worth paper it's written on. If that's considered the elite of our game then it's worse than I thought. Shinnie?why? Mcginn, had a really successful part season where goals were flying in, bear in mind the poor team he's in. Griffiths for all his personal off field issues is decent and has always scored goals when regularly featured at each club. As for us, there were definitely candidates that merited a place. Ure shout about the utd boys wasn't bad either. Steve dundee

Anyone mention kelvin Wilson will get a slap? Do you watch or know anything about celtic this year? He has been our best defender with some outstanding displays in Europe the most improved player at celtic park!

DH, Kelvin Wilson better than Brown this season? Your having a laugh mate.

Your slaps in the post lol

@5) You couldn't recognise a centre half if Franco Barese came to your house and slapped you in the face for you daft suggestion. Our central defence is shocking! Without doubt the weakest part of our team. It is unquestionably worse than last season and Wilson being an improved player is only a testament to how bad he was last year, he was awful. Ambrose is even worse btw, maybe that's what in your eyes is giving you the impression Wilson is decent, the fact he's playing beside one of the worst centre halves I have seen at celtic park.

And by the way, the PFA scottish footballer of the year award voters don't take european performances into consideration, surprisingly haha

After seeing that post about praising Kelvin Wilson as better than Scott Brown this season I have to comment.

Brown has played 33 games for Celtic this season and been excellent. We have missed him one way or another in every one of those absences. To put Kelvin Wilson's performance over the season ahead of him is absolutely ridiculous. Your making you comment on the back of Wilson playing more games so therefore being an ever present. In my opinion having watched 27 league games, 6 cup games and 6 European all in the flesh I can assure you he has been an ever present because we didn't have anyone else in the managers eyes. I would have played Mulgrew, Scotlands player of the year in the position he won the award from but Lennon made an error of judgement on that one for me. Wilson has had 3 quality performances in europe overshadowed by the rest. Cagey, positionally inept, untrustworthy on the deck and causing panic to the rest of our backline is what I have seen. He plays almost 80 mins worth of a game adequately, but for the other 10 he makes big mistakes and depending on the oppositions ability to capitalise he loses goals or gets away with it. I want a new central defensive partnership next year or we will get the same guff again.

For everybody mentioning performances in Europe I would like to remind you its the Scottish PFA award, so Europe doesn't matter a jot.
