Danny 9 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Celtic trio Artur Boruc, Lee Naylor and Shunsuke Nakamura are up for the Scottish Professional Footballers' Association's player of the year award. Aberdeen captain Russell Anderson makes up the shortlist of nominees, with the winner to be named on 22 April. Celtic winger Aiden McGeady is in contention for the young player of the year prize. His rivals are Hibs star Scott Brown, Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam and Kilmarnock forward Steven Naismith. Dons skipper Anderson was honoured to have been nominated but pointed out that it is a team effort. "While it's nice to be nominated for such a prestigious award, it's as much a reflection of how the team has performed this season," he told the Aberdeen website. "That said, when it's your peers who are undertaking the voting it means that little bit more and naturally I am delighted."Wasn't April 1st 2 weeks ago?

Dado 334 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 For all his shortcomings CA has an impressive goalscoring record for what is essentially his debut season.He is a lazy donkey at times but he has won us games as well. Would rather he got it than that rat McTraitor.In saying that I think Naismith will get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 912 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Question - 2 years in a row Kris Boyd has been overlooked even though he's been top-scorer by a mile.Last year in particular, he was top scorer for 2 teams in one season and STILL wasn't on the shortlist.Total disgrace.

simplythechamps08 2 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Nakamura will win it quite rightly too - however after him Ferguson has been the best of the rest by a mile so Im surprised he hasnt been nominated. I expect him to get a nomination for the football writers award. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to get a nomination for the football writers award.Disagree, Nakamura hasn't been THAT good.If it was going to be a Celtic player, it would need to be Boruc. How many points has he saved them this year?Nakamura goes missing in too many games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,752 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Naylor <_< Yes he's been good but POTY material :no: I don't think so! Realistically having three players on a shortlist for POTY is a bit ridicilous. IMHO the shortlist should have been:NakamuraAndersonHemdaniBoydBorucwith Hemdani pushing Nakamura very very close. :pipeguy:I also think that excluding Berra (Hearts) and Barr (Falkirk) is ridicilous. Scott Brown is only in there as a result of his performances in the second half of the season. In the first half of the season he wasn't that good and was even dropped for a decent spell (although that was not down to form) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dummiesoot 16,000 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Naylor for me, has been a standout in that Celtic side, Naka is too inconsistent and gets hyped due to his free kicks, how many goals has he scored and set up compared to our very own Charlie Adam? Boruc got away with a lot of mistakes when Celtic were winnning games in the last minute. Naylor has been very consistent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
