Viduka and Larsson won the awards when Advocaat won us the league.

Looking back at the list they gave it to Di Canio the year we completed 9iar. They had to share it in 04-05 with Ricksen and Hartson, Brown won it 08-09 and Izaguirre won it in 10-11. All years we won the league.

According to wiki a celtic player has won it 23 times compared to Rangers who have only had 10 winners. In our last 8 title wins (97 being the first) 2 1/2 Rangers players have won it. Ferguson, Ricksen and Davis. Only once when they've won it in that time period a Rangers player has won it. Amoruso in 01/02.

Get your money on McGregor or Forrest it seems.

How does it work with it being the players awards?

Do they all vote which then creates a shortlist which is then decided by a panel? 

Or is it a shortlist is decided by a panel then the players choose out of the shortlist?

Or is it purely just a players vote & the shortlist is just for the drama??

How does it work?

PFA award is mostly slanted toward the Torbetts. The gap in awards between them and us is laughable. A load of players over the years would vote for anyone except a Rangers player. celtic players have been awarded it 7 times when Rangers have been Champions, only happened once the other way. Big Ano in 2003.

Strachan won ‘manager of the year’ a few weeks prior to him leaving celtic.  We won the league that year and Walter Smith never got the award.

Morelos for Player and Kent for Young Player.

 

In reality a taig will win both awards though.

Edit: just seen there's actually no taig nominated for Young Player. Thought they'd have found someone to replace Tierney if they couldn't get away with still shoehorning him in anyway.

They are never going to award this to Morelos.  Not with is disciplinary record.   It'd be absurd in the minds of those who dish out these awards to have a player of the year with so many red cards and games missed through suspension.   It'd be seen as downright absurd by the media so it won't happen.    As for Kent, they are never going to give player of the year to an on-loan player playing for Rangers.   Won't happen.   Their names are only added to the list as a oblique recognition that they could not simply be ignored.    Its a false award process with a faked attempt at being serious.
