Motherwell captain Lennon Miller has been awarded the DoubleTree by Hilton SFWA Young Player of the Year.
The midfielder has been a standout during a season in which he became Motherwell’s youngest ever skipper.
The 18-year-old also earned his first call-up to Steve Clarke’s senior Scotland squad in March.
Miller will be formally presented with the award at Sunday’s annual SFWA awards dinner in Glasgow.
The teenager beat off competition from Hearts' James Wilson and the Kilmarnock pair of Bobby Wales and last year’s winner David Watson.
And, having been shortlisted for last year’s SFWA award, he paid tribute to his fellow nominees.
He said: “These players have all had outstanding seasons and careers so far.
“Look at David last year, winning all the awards. I’m close with David and speak to him quite a lot.

“And Bobby has got his move to Swansea and done really well.
“There are people outside the shortlist who have also had good years.
“You want to have young Scottish players coming through.“To win out of all these players is a really proud moment and one I don't take for granted.”
