Aberdeen winger Jonny Hayes has been shortlisted for the PFA Scotland Player of the Year award.

The 28-year-old has enjoyed his finest season yet at Pittodrie as the Dons have pushed Celtic all the way in the race for the Scottish Premiership title.

The midfielder has scored five times in 40 appearances this term, in addition to winning his first two caps for the Republic of Ireland.

Hayes is joined on the shortlist by Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths, 25, who has netted 38 goals in all competitions this season.

Dundee forwards Greg Stewart, 26, and Kane Hemmings, 24, complete the four-man list.

Meanwhile, Hibernian duo Jason Cummings and John McGinn have been shortlisted for the Young Player of the Year award.

They are joined by Rangers midfielder Barrie McKay and Celtic full-back Kieran Tierney.
