The annual Scottish PFA awards ceremony held in the Hilton Hotel, Glasgow, tonight saw Gordon Strachan named as Manager of the Year. The Celtic boss was nominated alongside Hamilton boss Billy Reid and St Johnstone manager Derek McInnes.
The SPFA Player of the Year award was presented to Celtic's Scott Brown following some outstanding displays from the dynamic midfielder this season. Brown fought off some stiff competition from media favourite Paulo Mendez of Rangers and team-mate Gary Caldwell.
