David Gray and Nectar Triantis shortlisted for football writers awards
Gray has been shortlisted for the William Hill Manager of the Year Award, alongside Celtic's Brendan Rodgers, Aberdeen's Jimmy Thelin and Falkirk's John McGlynn.
Gray has been nominated for a remarkable 2024/25 campaign which saw his side equal the club's longest post-war unbeaten run in the Scottish top-flight of 17 games.
The Hibs head coach also picked up three Scottish Premiership Manager of the Month awards, with the team currently leading the race for third place with three games to go.
In addition, Nectar Triantis has been nominated for the SFWA Player of the Year.
Triantis has been a standout performer in the middle of the park for Hibs – making 33 appearances so far this season.
The 21-year-old has nine goal contributions to date (three goals and six assists) and his performances caught the eye of Australia Head Coach Tony Popovic who called him up to his senior squad for the first time.
Triantis has been nominated alongside Celtic pair Callum McGregor and Daizen Maeda and Dundee's Simon Murray who previously played for Hibs.
The awards are shortlisted and voted for by the Scottish Football Writers' Association members – with the official awards night taking place on Sunday 18 May in Glasgow.

Lennon Miller has Celtic and Rangers transfer belief as Scott Brown sees something special
Brown is sure Miller backs himself to go to either Parkhead or Ibrox and command a spot in either team after first Scotland start Scott Brown reckons Lennon Miller will back himself to go to Celtic or Rangers and command a first-team place. The Motherwell starlet shone on his Scotland debut as Steve Clarke's men took care of Liechtenstein in their final summer friendly. Miller was handed a first start by Clark and teed up Che Adams for the second goal of the striker's hat-trick. The Scottish Premiership Young Player of the Year is set for transfer interest from across Europe this summer, with both of Glasgow's big two tipped to at least explore their chances of signing him. Celtic would be the more realistic, with Motherwell set to demand a club record fee before they think about letting their star man move on, having already knocked back around £4million from Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise. And Brown, who made a similar move to Parkhead from Hibs during his playing days, is sure Miller will believe he is absolutely good enough to go there and not only handle the pressure, but nail down a place in the starting XI. "You think, 'I can go to a Celtic and Rangers and I can break through there,'" he told BBC Scotland. "The pay slip is probably about 10 times bigger as well at the same time. "What are the chances of you breaking through at a Rangers and Celtic? It's really, really hard. You've got to be really special; Lennon is really special. You can see it with his quality going forward, his calmness on the ball, but also, nothing fazes him. "He's talking in front of the press, he's happy as Larry. He probably goes home and plays the PlayStation. "He is really chilled, he's not a kind of big-time player."

Stuart Findlay set for Hearts transfer with Oxford talks progressing as part of planned double swoop
McInnes made Findlay a top transfer priority soon after making the move from Kilmarnock and a deal is likely to be done Stuart Findlay is set to join Hearts as talks with Oxford United progress over the defender. Record Sport revealed that new boss Derek McInnes wanted Findlay to join him at Tynecastle as a matter of priority after making the move from Kilmarnock. Scotland international Findlay has spent the last two season on loan at Rugby Park from Oxford, where he still has another year left on his contract. However, Hearts have entered negotiations with the Championship club over a deal for Findlay and he is expected to be confirmed as a Hearts player before the start of pre-season training next week. McInnes has previously hailed Findlay's impact for Killie, not just with his own performances, but on those around him. He said: "There's no doubt having Stuart Findlay back has been massive for us. He doesn't always catch the eye, and he's not exactly dribbling out and making chances and all the rest of it, but he's such a calming influence. 'That ability for a centre-half to make people round about them better is a dying art, because so many boys now just want to play their own game and look after themselves, but he does it in such a quiet effective way.' The Jambos are also progressing a deal for Portuguese striker Claudio Bravo. Around £400,000 is expected to be enough to tempt Norwegian second-tier side Aalesund FK into selling the 25-year-old, who still has 18 months left on his contract.

Che Adams relieved to break Scotland goal curse as George Hirst makes striker's job 'easier'
The Torino frontman hadn't scored in more than a year before netting a hat-trick in the 4-0 demolishing of Liechtenstein Hat-trick hero Che Adams ended his Scotland goal drought in style and then set his sights on the World Cup qualifiers. The striker netted a hat-trick as Scotland beat Liechtenstein 4-0 in Monday night's friendly in Vaduz. The Torino star netted his first international goal for more than a year and then went on to net a treble. Now he wants to keep that red-hot form into the World Cup qualifiers, which start in September against Denmark. Adams beamed: 'Yes, honestly amazing. It's always a pleasure to put on this shirt and score. 'It's been so long since I scored in the shirt. So to score one and eventually get two more was amazing and a nice way to sign off the season.' Adams had finished as Torino's top scorer and he acknowledged drawing a blank for his country was weighing heavily on his shoulders. He claimed: 'Obviously as a striker it's always in the back of your mind. As a striker, you're the one to put the ball in the net. It was made a bit easier playing with two strikers. 'We were able to keep a constant threat in behind, putting them under pressure. I fully enjoyed it and hopefully we can build off this now into the qualifiers.' Adams netted his first international treble and now has a nice memento from his big night. The former Birmingham City forward admitted: 'Yes, I got it (the ball) signed from all the boys. I've had four or five, but I can't remember the last one. 'Obviously, it's a nice little touch to finish off the season and get some well-deserved rest." Scotland haven't qualified for the World Cup since 1998 and that is something Adams and his team want to address. It is 88 days from Tuesday until the action starts away to Denmark. He warned: 'Obviously, to put things right against Liechtenstein today, following the poor result against Iceland. It's going to come short and sharp. Yeah, exactly. It's been a long time (since we made a World Cup). 'But I think everyone's mentally preparing now, from today really to look forward to those games and get back into playing in those competitions.' Adams is following in the footsteps of the late, great Denis Law for club and country. He recently broke his Italian scoring record and is also making an impact for Scotland. He said: 'A lot of people were saying that actually over there (beating Law's record). As I said, I'm delighted to have finished top scorer for Torino. I love it. 'I think it's going to be difficult for anyone to go to a different country, different culture and different league. For me to do that, a lot of people say it's brave, but it's something that I felt comfortable with doing. 'I've enjoyed every minute of it and hopefully I can build off this season and go again next season. But as I said, today was icing on the cake. Just to get the three goals and build off this into the qualifiers.' Adams has been part of a successful Scottish surge in Italy. Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour won Serie A with Napoli, Lewis Ferguson lifted the Coppa Italia and Josh Doig also won promotion back to the top-flight with Sassuolo. Adams joked: 'No, I don't know. We're always speaking about the league and how difficult it is and how tactically different it is. I think everyone's enjoyed it. 'Everyone's had respectable seasons. Especially the boys, obviously, that won trophies and Doigy, the one that got promotion. 'I think everyone's building and learning and putting themselves into these situations that not many people would. 'I think we're coming out with a lot of rewards from it.'
