Celtic forward Daizen Maeda is the PFA Scotland player of the year, with Falkirk’s John McGlynn picking up the manager’s award for the second year running.

Japan international Maeda, 27, has hit 33 goals and provided 12 assists in a stellar season for the Premiership champions.

It is the ninth time in 11 years that a Celtic player has taken home the prize.

Meanwhile, McGlynn has taken Falkirk back to the top flight for the first time in 15 years after winning successive titles.

It is the third time the 63-year-old has received the accolade, having done so in 2011 while in charge of Raith Rovers.

Brendan Rodgers of Celtic and Hibernian’s David Gray were the other shortlisted head coaches, while Maeda beat team-mates Callum McGregor and Nicolas Kuhn, as well as Dundee forward Simon Murray, in the votes cast from players across the SPFL divisions.

Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller, 18, came on top in the ballot for young player of the year.

James Wilson of Hearts, Celtic’s Arne Engels and Rangers’ Hamza Igamane were the other nominees in that category.
