Kilmarnock's Boyd joins Celtic trio on SPFA shortlist

Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd is up against a trio of Celtic players for this season's Scottish Professional Footballers Association Player of the Year awards.

The 30-year old striker has netted 19 goals for Killie this season to be one of four players up for the SPFA award along with Hoops threesome Kris Commons, Virgil van Dijk and Fraser Forster.

Commons has netted 23 goals from midfield for the Scottish champions while goalkeeper Forster and central defender van Dijk have formed the stingiest defence in Britain, conceding just 16 goals in 33 matches.

The winners will be announced at presentation ceremony in Glasgow's Hilton Hotel on Sunday, April 27.
